Chapter 389 Let's just consider it a forfeit by the Humanist Sect!
At this point, Yuanshi Tianzun paused slightly, then added:
"Disciples of the three religions, and disciples of corresponding levels from each sect, will spar and compete."
"In each round, disciples of the three religions can either go up on stage to challenge themselves or be designated by their masters."
"The one who stands on the stage at the end is the winner."
"There's only one rule: stop when you've reached a point."
Upon hearing this, a fighting spirit ignited in the eyes of all the disciples.
The disciples of the Jie Sect and the Chan Sect, in particular, exchanged sharp and intense glances.
After all, among the disciples of these three sects, the main rivalries are between the disciples of the Jie Sect and the Chan Sect.
"Are we about to begin?"
Among the disciples of the Jie Sect, Yang Jian was excited and couldn't wait to make a move.
After all, this was a great opportunity for him to make a name for himself.
He even dreamed of having a showdown with his brother-in-law, Chen Changsheng.
At the same time, Manjushri, the Heavenly Venerable of the Chan Sect, frowned slightly and muttered to himself:
"Chen Changsheng".
"You'll be participating in this competition too, right?"
"This time, I will repay the humiliation I suffered at Chentang Pass tenfold!"
The thought of Chen Changsheng fueled the fury in Manjushri's heart.
Yang Jian and the others were unaware of this, but Manjushri knew.
Chen Changsheng, a third-generation disciple of the Jie Sect, has already advanced his cultivation to the level of a Great Luo Golden Immortal.
Moreover, back in Chentang Pass, he defeated him, a late-stage Great Luo Golden Immortal, with his cultivation at the early stage of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm.
The grand competition among the three religions is about to begin.
Manjushri naturally hoped to get his revenge.
Just as the disciples of the Jie Sect and the Chan Sect were elated, Yuanshi Tianzun turned his gaze and looked directly at the Supreme Sage:
"Senior Brother."
"Do you have any further comments?"
Upon hearing the question posed by Yuanshi Tianzun, Taishang smiled slightly and said:
"Junior Brother Yuanshi."
"I have no objection."
"but……"
At this point, the Supreme Sage paused.
Seeing that the Supreme Lord still had something to say, Yuanshi Tianzun and Tongtian Shengren both looked at him.
The Supreme One didn't delay and spoke directly:
"In this competition among the three teachings, our People's Education Press will not participate."
"Let's just consider it a forfeit on my part!"
As soon as the Supreme Lord spoke, both the Primordial Heavenly Venerable and the Tongtian Sect Master were startled, looking somewhat incredulous.
Although the Supreme Sage has very few disciples, it's not like he can't even find someone to fight.
"Senior Brother, this...this isn't quite right, is it?"
The Master of Heaven frowned.
Unexpectedly, in this competition among the three religions, the Supreme One's Human Religion retreated without a fight.
Upon hearing this, the Supreme Sage smiled faintly and said:
"What's wrong with it?"
"Since the Three Religions Competition began, has there been any rule prohibiting abstention?"
Tongtian was stunned. He opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say.
Just as the Supreme Sage said, there was indeed no such rule in the competition among the three religions.
Upon hearing this, Yuanshi Tianzun did not try to persuade Taishang.
In his view, it's good that the People's Education Movement withdrew.
In this way, the disciples of the Chan Sect can concentrate on competing with the disciples of the Jie Sect.
After a brief silence, the Supreme Sage spoke:
"Junior Brother Yuanshi."
"Let's continue hosting the Three Religions Competition!"
Upon hearing this, Yuanshi Tianzun came to his senses and nodded, saying:
"Yes, Senior Brother!"
Having said that, Yuanshi Tianzun swept his gaze across the disciples of the Chan and Jie sects, and then said:
"The Human Sect will not participate in this contest of power."
"Therefore, the only remaining sides in the battle are the disciples of the Chan Sect and the Jie Sect."
"We all come from the same school of magic. In the battle of magic, we should stop when we have made our move. We must not be aggressive or belligerent and harm the other's life."
"This competition will begin at the Taiyi Realm!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Yuanshi Tianzun suddenly waved his hand.
"boom!"
Then, a fighting arena suddenly appeared out of thin air in the center of the square.
Around the arena, streams of pure, ethereal light flowed, forming an invisible protective array.
The disciples of both the Jie Sect and the Chan Sect were shaken to their core upon seeing this.
I was slightly surprised that the disciples of the People's Education Press did not participate in this competition.
But on second thought, this might not be a bad thing for them.
After all, although the Supreme Sage had few disciples, their cultivation and strength were extremely powerful.
Since they are not participating in the competition this time, it will save them a lot of trouble.
Moreover, in this way, the arena battle would be a contest between the Jie Sect and the Chan Sect, which is exactly what the disciples of both sects want.
They've disliked each other for a long time.
Now that no disciples of the Renjiao sect are involved, it's a good opportunity to give them a fair chance to duel.
After the arena was brought out, the Primordial Celestial Venerable spoke in a cold voice:
"If everything is ready, the disciples of both sects may then ascend the stage to engage in their magical duel!"
As he spoke, Yuanshi Tianzun glanced at Tongtian Jiaozhu, seemingly unintentionally.
Receiving the gaze of the Primordial Celestial Venerable, the Tongtian Sect Master remained indifferent, his gaze shifting to the Fire Spirit beside the Daoist Duobao.
"Fire Spirit!"
The Master of the Heavens called out in a low voice.
Upon hearing this, Huo Ling stepped forward with great excitement.
"Grandmaster!"
Tongtian nodded and murmured an 'Mmm':
"In this battle of Taiyi Realm cultivators, let our Jie Sect send you out first!"
"Yes, Grandmaster!"
Huo Ling bowed in response, then with a swift movement, he transformed into a streak of light and landed steadily on the dueling arena.
Upon stepping onto the stage, Huo Ling wore a fiery red fairy dress, with fire lotuses flowing in her hair, making her look like a burning flame.
Then, she put her hands on her hips, glanced around at the group of disciples of the Chan Sect, and said in a crisp voice:
"Which fellow disciple from the Chan Sect would like to offer their guidance first?"
As Huo Ling said this, he looked extremely smug, as if he had already won the battle.
Seeing Huo Ling's posture, a disciple from the Chan Sect camp couldn't contain himself and jumped out.
"I'll take you on!"
This is one of the most outstanding disciples of the third generation of the Chan Sect. He is a mid-stage Taiyi Golden Immortal and wields a long sword, exuding an extraordinary aura.
After taking the stage, he bowed to the Fire Spirit.
Huo Ling glanced indifferently at the Chan Sect disciple, a slight smile playing on his lips:
"Make your move!"
"Once I make my move, you might not have a chance!"
As soon as Huo Ling uttered these words, the anger of the Taiyi Golden Immortal disciple of the Chan Sect was instantly ignited.
"Arrogant!"
With a roar, the disciple of the Chan Sect did not hesitate and suddenly moved the long sword in his hand.
"boom!"
In an instant, a surge of sword energy erupted, transforming into a giant tiger that lunged forward, opening its mouth to devour the fire spirit.
Fire Spirit saw this, gave a cold laugh, and said mockingly:
"A trivial skill!"
As she spoke, she casually waved her hand, and a torrent of flames surged forth from it.
In no time, a sea of fire engulfed the giant tiger phantom formed from sword energy.
"boom……"
In a single exchange, the giant tiger wielding sword energy was annihilated in the sea of fire.
The terrifying waves of fire, undiminished in power, surged towards the Chan Sect disciple.
