This kind of special training continued all the way until the day before the Five-Sect Grand Competition began, and only then did Qin Fang once again appear in front of the Kunlun Sect disciples…
"Junior Martial Brother Qin…"
"Uncle-Master Qin…"
Compared with the last ti they t, the attitudes of these Kunlun Disciples had clearly changed quite a bit; the Second Generation Disciples would politely call him Junior Martial Brother, while the Third Generation Disciples respectfully addressed him as Uncle-Master.
Whether they were sincere or putting on a show, at least on the surface it was pretty decent.
Of course, the disciples of Elder Qingyuan's line basically turned around and walked away as soon as they saw Qin Fang, and only so of the Second Generation Disciples dared to pull a face at him… After all, because of Qin Fang's ruckus, their status in the Kunlun Sect had obviously dropped a lot.
But overall, things were still relatively harmonious!
This could be considered Qin Fang officially beginning to integrate into this Thousand-Year Sect…
It was just that, right as they were about to start preparing for the Five-Sect Grand Competition, his new master Qing Xu Lao Dao specifically sought Qin Fang out to talk about sothing.
"Master, this… really isn't necessary, is it?"
Looking at Qing Xu Lao Dao's face, which was clearly quite tense, Qin Fang couldn't help giving a wry smile. "This thing is my bottom-of-the-chest killing move. I'll handle it properly myself… you really don't need to worry about it!"
The reason Qing Xu Lao Dao reacted this way was naturally because of the Godslaying Worm that Qin Fang had previously taken out in public…
This was the culprit that had sparked several great cataclysms in the Martial World, practically sothing that made everyone in the Martial World go pale at the ntion of "worms." No one expected that this kind of vicious, poisonous creature, which had been extinct for hundreds of years, would reappear in the Martial World.
Even though, under the suppression of Snow Bodhi, this Godslayer Worm Queen was in a dormant state, it was still a "bomb." If they really ran into so enemy that was extrely hard to deal with, Qin Fang only needed to crush the Snow Bodhi and the Godslayer Worm Queen would awaken, and that would be a bloody calamity!
A few hundred years ago, there were relatively few humans on Earth; even at the peak, the Central Plains had only so tens of millions of people altogether. But now… over a billion.
Although the number of Martial Artists among them was relatively small, this one Godslayer Worm Queen would still create endless slaughter!
As the leader of the Righteous Alliance and one of the Five Great Sects, Kunlun Sect's Sect Leader Qing Xu Lao Dao absolutely could not allow such a thing to happen, which was why he ca to discuss this with Qin Fang… he wanted to strangle this Godslayer Worm Queen in the cradle!
The Godslaying Worm was extrely powerful, but only invincible below the Supre Realm. Once it t a Supre Realm Powerhouse, it only had one way out—death… Qing Xu Lao Dao had been at this level for many years, and killing this Godslayer Worm Queen would not be particularly difficult for him.
"Sigh, have it your way then…"
However, after hearing Qin Fang's refusal, although Qing Xu Lao Dao didn't look very pleased, he still nodded in the end and stopped worrying about this matter… Just as Qin Fang had said, this Godslaying Worm was his killing move; without its protection, Qin Fang might have already died at Elder Qingyuan's hands.
Even though he had now pressed Elder Qingyuan down, based on how well he knew Qingyuan, the man definitely held a deep grudge against Qin Fang… On the surface he definitely wouldn't do anything too excessive, but in the dark, it was hard to say.
Precisely because he understood this, Qing Xu Lao Dao instead felt that leaving the Godslaying Worm in Qin Fang's hands might actually be safer… With Qin Fang's current strength, unless Elder Qingyuan personally acted, others might not actually be able to kill him!
"Many thanks, Master…"
Seeing Qing Xu Lao Dao relent, Qin Fang couldn't help letting out a breath of relief and imdiately grinned as he offered his thanks.
"Don't get too pleased yet. The Five-Sect Grand Competition starts tomorrow… Among the young experts of the Five Great Sects, there are quite a few monstrous geniuses. Don't you dare capsize in so gutter, or you'll make this old man lose face!"
Seeing Qin Fang's sly grin, Qing Xu Lao Dao also chuckled and teased him.
"Please rest assured, Master, your disciple knows what to do!"
If this had been earlier, when Qin Fang didn't really know this old man very well, he might have played up his loyalty a bit and put on a show. But after spending these past few days together, Qin Fang now had a good idea of what kind of person his new master was, so he couldn't even be bothered to say those pretty words.
Master and disciple chatted idly for a while, then Qin Fang went back to his own quarters, planning to get a good night's rest and prepare for the upcoming Five-Sect Grand Competition… It definitely wouldn't be as easy as it sounded; it would absolutely be one hard fight after another!
The night passed without incident.
The next morning, when Qin Fang got up and went out, he discovered that the Kunlun Sect's group had already assembled. Under the lead of Qing Xu Lao Dao, several dozen people left Shangri-La Town and headed toward that stretch of wasteland.
"Senior Brother Jian, where are we going…?"
However, Qin Fang felt sothing was a bit strange, so he moved closer to Jian Qingfeng and asked.
Among so many people from the Kunlun Sect, the only one he had a relatively good relationship with was Jian Qingfeng; with the others, they were at best on ordinary terms… even with a few of his sa-sect senior brothers, they were rely nodding acquaintances.
"Sea of Heartlessness…"
Jian Qingfeng replied succinctly.
"Sea of Heartlessness? What place is that?"
Qin Fang was stunned; he truly didn't know where such a place was. Even after these few days of intensive training with his master Qing Xu Lao Dao, he had never heard Qing Xu Lao Dao ntion it even once… the other Kunlun Disciples more or less knew sothing about it; he alone was completely in the dark.
"The Sea of Heartlessness is actually a small Mystic Realm… it's surrounded by a natural Formation. Unfortunately, the Spiritual Energy inside has long since dried up and is no different from the outside world, just relatively more concealed! A grand event like the Five-Sect Grand Competition has an imnse impact in the Martial World. Among the participants, there is no shortage of extrely heaven-defying existences whose destructive power is astonishing. Naturally, it can't be held casually out in the open. Only inside such a small Mystic Realm, no matter how big a commotion we cause, there won't be any particularly bad consequences!"
Only then did Jian Qingfeng briefly explain the situation of the Sea of Heartlessness to Qin Fang. This
"So that's how it is…"
Qin Fang finally understood.
In a grand event like the Five-Sect Grand Competition, although the participants were all young disciples under thirty, the Five Great Sects were the top high-end forces in the Martial World. Even their young disciples had at least reached Grandmaster Level Cultivation, and a few heaven-defying monsters had even reached Great Grandmaster Level!
When disciples of this level sparred with each other, the level of the matches was extrely high-end, at least much stronger than the Martial World Conference Qin Fang had previously participated in… when such powerhouses clashed, the commotion they created far exceeded the scope of ordinary humans.
To reduce unnecessary impact, it was still better to arrange the competition inside such a concealed small Mystic Realm…
Although Shangri-La was already remote enough, and they had done their utmost to disperse the tourists nearby… if the Five-Sect Grand Competition were held here, there was no guarantee soone wouldn't suddenly barge in. If those inhuman scenes were then spread out, it would inevitably stir up a huge storm.
You have to know, nowadays the Martial World and Dragon Country's kung fu had practically vanished from sight. If people learned that there was still such a group of "non-human" experts in the world, who knew what kind of uproar it would cause.
The Sea of Heartlessness was not far from Shangri-La; with the speed of these experts, it only took half an hour to arrive. Moreover, it was sufficiently concealed, so it was naturally the best place for a martial contest… not to ntion that many natural stone platforms remained inside the Sea of Heartlessness, serving as "natural arenas."
After half an hour of rushing, Qin Fang and the others arrived at a hidden place. On the surface, it looked no different from the surrounding wasteland, but after Jian Qingfeng's prior reminder, Qin Fang imdiately noticed that there was indeed a formation pattern here…
"A naturally ford Formation? I don't think so…"
Although Jian Qingfeng said that the Formation here was naturally ford, after Qin Fang carefully studied it, he couldn't help muttering… it could only be said that the people of the Five Great Sects were not proficient enough in the Array Formation Path, so they couldn't see so of the subtleties here.
"If a Formation Master ca here and hid so people inside, it really might not be that easy to discover them…"
After passing through the barrier of this Formation, Qin Fang casually studied it a bit more and muttered another sentence.
However, he didn't take it too much to heart.
Once he entered this small Mystic Realm, the Sea of Heartlessness, Qin Fang finally understood Jian Qingfeng's previous words. This place truly was no different from the outside world; it was already a completely useless Mystic Realm with no value for Cultivation. Aside from being concealed, it could be said to be utterly worthless.
The birdsong and fragrance of flowers that a small Mystic Realm should have, Spiritual dicine everywhere, Spiritual Beasts running rampant… none of that existed here. What t the eye was a desolate wasteland, there was even a small patch of desert. Only so relatively ancient stone platforms stood within, silently telling of this small Mystic Realm's age and vicissitudes!
Unfortunately, it now had no value at all…
Without value, naturally there was no need to fight over it, so whether this Formation was natural or man-made was no longer so important…
"You stay here! And rember, do not go around looking for trouble…"
The Kunlun Sect was not the first to arrive here. In fact, when they entered, at least two Sects were already waiting in the Sea of Heartlessness. Qing Xu Lao Dao simply gave a brief instruction to the Kunlun Disciples, then imdiately headed off into the distance.
Others might not know why Qing Xu Lao Dao was in such a hurry and simply assud that before the official start of the Five-Sect Grand Competition, the Five Sect Leaders were going to have a brief eting… but Qin Fang knew so of the inside story, and it even had a little sothing to do with him!
It was nothing more than the matter of Qin Fang accidentally obtaining from Chu Yuan the information that the Yin Yang Devil Sect had united with several Evil Sects and intended to stir up so trouble during this Five-Sect Grand Competition of the Five Great Sects… this was not the affair of a single Sect; naturally, Qing Xu Lao Dao had to inform the other Sects about it!
