Starting My Cultivation With Time Management

Chapter 458: Chapter 91: Chief Qiu’s Radiance Shines Brilliantly Chapter 458: Chapter 91: Chief Qiu’s Radiance Shines Brilliantly The grand competition of White Jade Capital was imminent.

Compared to the high spirits of Shushan and the constant complaints of Penglai, the atmosphere among the Foundation Establishment disciples of Kunlun was evidently much calmer.

To some extent, this was due to the composure befitting the so-called “Head of the Orthodox Sects” and, on the other hand, it was influenced by the style set by a certain Chief Disciple.

If even Chief Qiu, who was required by the Sect Leader to secure first place in the competition, could be this composed, how could we get hot-headed like the brutes of Shushan or wallow in self-pity like the weaklings of Penglai?

Therefore, even though there was no explicit instruction from the sect, everyone started to unconsciously pay attention to their own bearing and dignity, fearing that they would tarnish the reputation of Kunlun.

Junior Sister Xu knew that the Ziwei Master had issued a military order: Qiu Changtian had to take first place.

Not second, not one and a half, not even tied for first-there was no room for negotiation.

Thus, even though Qiu Changtian claimed he was “99% certain,” Junior Sister Xu didn’t feel it appropriate to ask directly, but still dragged him to battle training every day and requested the Xu Family of Southern Heaven to continue collecting information on the competitors for her senior brother to reference.

Of course, Qiu Changtian had no interest whatsoever in these reports.

He had already said it twice!

If Junior Sister Xu mentioned it a third time, that would be utterly redundant!

In any case, Qiu Changtian was fully confident in his ability to take first place.

The reason he practiced with Junior Sister Xu was also to help her gain battle experience, so she could historically claim the fourth place as well.

“Senior brother, look.” During a rest, Xu Yinglian showed Qiu Changtian the Phoenix Clan’s cultivation technique that she had covertly transcribed from the Bright Palace Secret Realm, for him to consult, “I’ve already nearly perfected the Crimson Feather Nine Phoenix Fire.”

The Phoenix Clan’s cultivation techniques were an absolute secret belonging to Xu Yinglian.

If the enemy discovered them, they might develop targeted countermeasures.

So naturally, Xu Yinglian showing these techniques to herself indicated a kind of “unity between husband and wife.”

Qiu Changtian was, of course, not squeamish, and after receiving the jade slip, he carefully perused it with his divine sense.

“Learn this.

The Fire Escape Nine Methods,” he quickly said.

“Learn an escape technique?” Xu Yinglian was a bit surprised since she had originally thought of learning another offensive Daoist magic.

“Mm.” Qiu Changtian chuckled, “This escape technique suits your current stage perfectly.”

If someone else had made this suggestion, Xu Yinglian would likely have sneered at it.

With her competitive nature, her primary thought when facing an enemy was always to attack; running away was not an option on her list.

But since Qiu Changtian suggested learning an escape technique, Xu Yinglian seriously considered it and found that there seemed to be some sense in it.

Firstly, the Fire Escape Technique required one to be within the fire, which was a harsh condition, but Xu Yinglian’s Great Bright Fire created an exceptionally wide area, which instead provided an ideal environment for Fire Escape.

Next, the Crimson Feather Nine Phoenix Fire had a strong attack power against single targets.

Xu Yinglian initially chose this Daoist magic to compete against Qiu Changtian’s Five Thunder True Law.

But the Crimson Feather Nine Phoenix Fire required compressing True Yuan nine times in a row, which left a defect in casting speed.

If she could leverage the mobility of the Fire Escape Technique, it could greatly make up for the slow activation of the Crimson Feather Nine Phoenix Fire.

Thinking this through, Xu Yinglian decided to learn the Fire Escape Nine Methods…

because she had thought it through and deemed it necessary, definitely not because it was recommended by her senior brother.

Time passed, and the date of the grand competition of White Jade Capital finally arrived.

Thousands of Foundation Establishment disciples from Kunlun set off together on their sword light, flying southeastward.

The team was led by the Marvelous Law True Person of Kunlun, who hailed from the Disciplinary Hall and was known for his fairness and strictness, making him well-suited to act as a judge in the later stages of the competition.

Upon reaching the vicinity of Mount Tianmu, the team found that the Kunlun encampment was positioned at the top of the mountain in an open space, where many houses had already been constructed using Earth System Daoist magic.

Two Kunlun real people went to the entrance of the secret realm, using magical treasures to maintain the opening of the realm while several Shushan real people who had arrived early transported the enormous Jade List magical treasure inside.

Qiu Changtian had no time to worry about those trivial matters because many disciples came to visit Chief Qiu, hoping to learn some combat experience before the competition.

He received visitors continuously until late at night, and it was only when Xu Yinglian lost her composure and burst into anger that the lingering guests reluctantly dispersed.

The next morning, Qiu Changtian and Xu Yinglian entered the White Jade Capital Secret Realm together, ready to begin the drawing of lots.

It wasn’t until the Jade List emitted ten thousand streams of light that Qiu Changtian reached out to grab the draw sword.

As expected, it was number one.

He then went to the first pavilion, where he saw that the Kunlun Disciple who had just left the arena was his opponent, and upon seeing that his first match was with Chief Qiu, he joyfully bowed and said,

“Senior Brother Qiu!

It’s a great honor to have a chance to spar with you, truly a great honor for your junior brother!”

Qiu Changtian saw that the challenger was actually one of his fans.

He could only maintain a smile, exchange a few words with him, and then the two began to fight.

Since it was the first battle of the great Chief Disciple of the Foundation Establishment Realm from Kunlun, the high-tiered stands inside the pavilion were already dense with spectators.

The vast majority were Kunlun Disciples, with a minority from Shushan and Penglai Cultivators.

As Qiu Changtian drew out the Tianyuan Yiqi Sword, a deafening cheer erupted from the Kunlun Disciples in the stands.

The Shushan and Penglai Cultivators exchanged glances: this Chief Qiu of Kunlun may not have mentioned his strength, but what a grand presence he had!

The Kunlun Disciple on the field took a defensive stance, and Qiu Changtian chose to attack first with his sword.

Because he had achieved Daoist Heart Clarity and studied the Immortal Sect Secret Technique, the Nine Heavens Clear Entrance True Mantra, the public perceived his True Yuan to be far more abundant than usual, allowing him to act boldly and without restraint, unlike Luo Yan, who had to hold back.

Qiu Changtian channeled his qi through the Kunlun Sword Technique, his True Yuan surge throughout his body, and launched the move “White Rainbow Piercing the Sun” with the Tianyuan Yiqi Sword, shooting directly at the Kunlun Disciple opposite him.

The disciple hurriedly used sword control to block it, but his Flying Sword was knocked away instantly, as if hitting stone with an egg.

The Tianyuan Yiqi Sword’s momentum was unabated as it plunged directly into the ground in front of the Kunlun Disciple, shaking him into staggering and nearly collapsing.

Qiu Changtian: ………

This Tianyuan Yiqi Sword truly lived up to its reputation as an ancient treasure of the Witch Clan, dispensing with any fancy Daoist Magic or Forbidden Techniques; it was all about brute force, raw power, sheer brawn!

It complemented the demeanor of me, Chief Qiu, extremely well.

“Kunlun, Qiu Changtian, wins.” As the mechanical voice announced the verdict, the Kunlun Disciple came forward with not a trace of shame or unwillingness at the defeat but instead smiled and said, “Chief, your strength is beyond me.”

“You honor me,” Qiu Changtian modestly replied.

Immediately after, a large group of Kunlun Disciples surged down from the stands, surrounding Qiu Changtian and showering him with congratulations:

“Worthy of being Chief Qiu!”

“In this grand competition, Chief is sure to take the crown!”

Qiu Changtian handled the various interactions, but could not extricate himself until Xu Yinglian arrived just in time to rescue him from the enthusiastic encirclement of his fans.

“Feeling the pain of fame now, are you?” They soared away on their swords from the pavilion, Xu Yinglian laughed and said.

“I have no choice,” Qiu Changtian said helplessly, “Although I intend to keep a low profile, my strength and prestige are too great.

I really would like to switch with you, Junior Sister Xu.”

Xu Yinglian fell silent, feeling silently annoyed in her heart.
