The Transcendent Immortal - Chapter 523

Chapter 523 Beigong Qin

“Why do you come so late?”

When an Elder saw that Xiao Chen and the others were leisurely walking over, he frowned impatiently. Xiao Chen and the others did not say much and immediately walked over.

Xiao Chen saw three groups of newcomers standing upright in front of him. They held their heads high and chest out. Moreover, the team was also in order. They were as serious as the soldiers who were about to go out to battle. They were completely not as slack as they were.

Xiao Chen couldn’t help but secretly nod in his heart. Although these three groups of newcomers came later, they must have received strict training in the past few days. However, on the side of Wind-heeding Pavilion, Shui Yue only saw them on the first day and did not care about them after at all. It seemed that the four grandmasters were really different.

The Elder frowned even deeper when he saw that they were scattered and were still saying. He said sharply, “Why aren’t you all standing there? What are you doing?”

Hearing this, the new students of the Wind-heeding Pavilion walked over and stood properly, but even if they stood there, they were still staggering, and the team was like a mess. Some of them even stood outside, as if they were directionless.

Seeing this, many senior disciples in the distance laughed and said, “See? I said, what good disciples can Shui Yue teach? Look at how they are like, what’s the difference between them and those people in the Black Horn? Hehe, speaking of them will only bring shame to our Cloud Mist Academy.”

At this moment, Xiao Chen felt that these words were very harsh. He said to the people behind him, “Stand still, all of you.”

“Oh, okay, Brother Chen.”

The young boys and girls listened to him and stood in order. However, Qin Tianyu was more active. After standing for a while, he saw that the other three groups were silent like stone sculptures. He could not help but feel a little funny and looked over there. “Hey, where are you from?”

However, everyone on the other side stood straight and looked steadily forward. No one paid any attention to him. An Elder in front of him shouted, “Be quiet!”

Qin Tianyu was startled. Only then did he pull back his neck and stand properly. The Elder flicked his sleeve and said, “Alright. Next, I’ll help you divide the training area. Disciples of the Purple Thunder Pavilion, count off!”

“Here!” The hundreds of freshmen on the far left immediately shouted in unison. There was no chaos at all, and they were in perfect order.

The Purple Thunder Pavilion was where First Grandmaster Lei Yan was. The Elder nodded slightly and felt very satisfied. He said again, “Disciples of the Moon-watch Hall!”

“Yes!” The Moon-watch Hall was the place where the Second Grandmaster Feng Wuhen was. The voice of these hundred people was also uniform, but their confidence was not as strong as that of the Purple Thunder Pavilion.

“Disciples of the Wind-heeding Pavilion!”

“He-here?” When it was the turn of the Wind-heeding Pavilion, only Xiao Chen and Chu Qi made a sound. The few hundred people behind them did not react until they finished reporting. For a while, they were like fried beans in a pot, and their voices were chaotic. the Elder frowned and looked extremely impatient. “Okay! Stop! Stop!”

The last one was the disciples of the fourth Grandmaster, Tie Ruxin, who was also disciples of the Broken Sword Pavilion. Their voices were also clear and orderly.

The Elder coughed twice and said, “Everyone is here. Next, the disciples of the Purple Thunder Pavilion will go to the first-class cultivation area, the disciples of the Moon-watch Hall will go to the second-class cultivation area, the disciples of Broken Sword Pavilion will go to the third-class cultivation area, and the disciples of the Wind-heeding Pavilion will go to the fourth-class cultivation area.”

As soon as he said this, the crowd suddenly became chaotic. Of course, it was the people on the side of the Wind-heeding Pavilion. Xiao Chen couldn’t help but frown. The few hundred new students behind him did not understand the reason, but he knew that Shui Yue was the least valued at Cloud Mist Academy. But even so, there was no need to arrange himself and others in the most rubbish place, right?

For a moment, Xiao Chen also felt a little indignant. He asked the Elder, “Elder, there’s one thing that I don’t understand. What’s the reference point in the training area where the disciples are assigned? Are you using the grandmaster as a reference?”

His last sentence obviously aggravated his tone, with a hint of questioning. The Elder immediately became unhappy and said in a lukewarm tone, “With the Mystic Sky Rankings as a reference, what’s wrong?”

“If you’re using the Mystic Sky Rankings List as a reference, then Brother Chen has made it to the 69th position on the Earth Ranking List. Why did you still arrange for us to be at the lowest place! You just think that our people from the Wind-heeding Pavilion are easy to bully, don’t you?”

Qin Tianyu shouted angrily. Although he was usually naughty, he was more or less aware of the depth of the water of Cloud Mist Academy. Now, he felt that these people were too much. He had been thinking about going to the first class area for the past few days, but it turned out to be like this. At this moment, the rest of the people were also a little angry.

“Impudent!” Elder roared. He did not expect that someone dared to rebut him. He angrily swung his sleeve and said, “Come out!”

“I will come out as you wish. Do you think I’m afraid of you, old man?” Qin Tianyu’s temper suddenly rose for no reason. The people around him were shocked. “How dare he offend and Elder like this? Does he want to die?”

Xu Ling’er beside him, who was also scared out of her wits, quickly pulled him back. “Tianyu, are you crazy?”

“Good! Very good! The good disciple taught by Shui Yue is very good! Very good!” The Elder was so angry that his face turned red and started panting.

Xiao Chen frowned and felt that there might be something wrong with this matter. He reached out to stop Qin Tianyu, and then made an obeisance by cupping one hand in the other before his chest to the Elder, saying, “Young people don’t know what is right or wrong. Don’t be angry, Elder.”

The Elder sneered and said, “I know you’re not convinced. I’ll let you have a look now!” He then waved his hand in the air. The clouds dispersed and three beams of light appeared in the sky above Mystic Sky Pavilion.

“Hehe, look at it now. Which one of your Wind-heeding Pavilion’s names is on it!”

Everyone immediately looked up at the light column Earth Ranking and could not help but be stunned. Xiao Chen was also stunned. The original 69th names were no longer his, and his own name was no longer on it.

“How, how is this possible!” Qin Tianyu cried out in shock.

“Hee hee, have you seen it clearly now?” The Elder sneered.

Xiao Chen pinched his fingers. He understood. It was not that someone had deliberately kicked him out. Rather, some people had made it to Earth Ranking from the three new batches of freshmen. Moreover, their rankings were higher than his. If one of them got on the list, his ranking would drop by one. If two of them got on the list, he would lose two. If three of them got on the list, he would lose to the 72nd place. Now that he was no longer on the list, it meant that at least four of them had made it.

“Brother Chen… I’m sorry…” Qin Tianyu said in a low voice. Now that he knew what he had said and done just now, he had embarrassed Xiao Chen at this moment.

Xiao Chen forced a smile. “No, it’s okay.”

In the distance, many senior disciples sneered and said, “As I said, how could Shui Yue have a disciple who had entered Earth Ranking? After occupying the space on the rank for a day and that’s it.”

“That’s Xiao Chen. He was so remarkable a few days ago. Hehe, he challenged Senior Sister Bai Ling the moment he arrived. He’s so arrogant that he doesn’t even look at us as his Senior Brothers. Now, look at how he is looking like a dog that fell into the water, he’s really like Shui Yue.”

Xiao Chen clenched his fists tightly. It was not because those people mocked him, but why did they have to bring Shui Yue in? He had just been here for a few days, and it was his own business to drop the ranking. What did it have to do with Shui Yue? It was really too much for them to be so scornful.

The Elder snorted coldly and said, “Now, have you seen it clearly?”

The disciples of the Wind-heeding Pavilion all lowered their heads and remained silent. Everyone was a little dispirited. The Elder flicked his sleeve and continued to speak to the rest of the new disciples, “Now, I’ll tell you about the floating island in the middle! That island is called the Five Elements Platform. It’s the smelting area. As its name implies, it’s a place for tempering one’s body and improving one’s cultivation realm and grade…”

Originally, the disciples of the Wind-heeding Pavilion were very curious about the island in the middle. They had long wanted to know where it was, but now they suddenly felt that they were not interested in it anymore. At this moment, only the other three groups of newcomers were listening with full attention.

“There’s a Five Elements Formation on that island. It’s called the Qian Metal Formation, the Xun Wood Formation, the Kan Water Formation, the Li Fire Formation, and the Kun Earth Formation. Each formation has its own special function for Body Refining Realm. If you think there’s a bottleneck in your cultivation, you can choose to cultivate in a Body Refining Realm way. After each Body Refining Realm, you’ll be able to cultivate better.”

At this point, the Elder paused for a moment with a very serious look and continued, “You can choose a suitable Five Elements Formation for yourselves to refine your body. It can be the Li Fire Formation or the Kan Water Formation. But remember, each formation has 12 levels of elements. The higher the level, the more powerful the element is. You just need to do what you have to do. Don’t force yourself. Otherwise, you will be destroyed. Do you understand?”

“Understood!” The crowd replied in unison.

The Elder nodded and said, “Also, don’t try to drag the five formations of the elements to refine your body at the same time. Unless you have a super strong body, it will only destroy you. You know, in the past 100 years, only two disciples have been able to bear the power of the five elements at the same time!”

Upon hearing this, many people turned to look at the floating island in the middle. There was a powerful undulation from the formation on it. However, it was already very terrifying in this place. If one wanted to lead the five formations’ Mystic Power to temper one’s body at the same time, unless one had an Undead Body, one would be courting death. Don’t mention a small Nascent Soul Realm, even if it was someone of the Apotheosis Realm, under the attack by the five powerful formations, it was likely that one would be reduced to dust and smoke.

“Alright, there’s one last thing!”

The Elder suddenly bellowed coldly and then looked at Xiao Chen intentionally or unintentionally. He said coldly, “In Cloud Mist Academy, there is no sword conversation for newcomers, so you can’t beat others to go to the high-level area to cultivate. If you want to go to the high-level area, you have to get into the Mystic Sky Rankings first! Anyone who dares to take other areas by force will be imprisoned for a year!”

After that, he flicked his sleeve and turned into a cloud and left.

After the Elder left, everyone felt slightly more relaxed. Most of the people in Wind-heeding Pavilion lowered their heads in silence. Xu Ling’er’s eyebrows were slightly knitted as she looked at Qin Tianyu and asked, “What happened to you just now?”

Qin Tianyu wanted to say something, but in the end, he grinned and said, “Are you worried about me, Junior Sister Ling’er?”

Xu Ling’er immediately glared at him. “Bah! Shameless!”

At this moment, a cold voice suddenly sounded not far away. “You’re Xiao Chen, aren’t you?”

The disciples of the Wind-heeding Pavilion looked up and saw a purple-clothed young man slowly walking over from the Purple Thunder Pavilion. He looked a little younger than Xiao Chen, but his eyes were particularly sharp, like the sharp edge of a needle that pierced through people’s hearts.

Xiao Chen looked over as well. He said placidly, “That’s right. What’s the matter?”

“My name is Beigong Qin.” When the young man in purple spoke, he was already about three meters away from Xiao Chen. At this moment, the two looked at each other. For some unknown reason, the people nearby suddenly felt a sense of oppression. It was a kind of oppressive feeling from a strong person.

“I’m also a newcomer this time. I’m even later than you guys. But you can call me Senior Brother Beigong,” said Beigong Qin as he looked sharply at Xiao Chen.
