Chapter 419 The Love and Career of the Beautiful Immortal Venerable 2
Together, we explore hidden realms in search of treasure, overcoming countless hardships and dangers, sharing life and death.
Sui Si silently recited in his heart:
"No wonder I searched the Three Realms and tried every means to find your souls. It turns out you had already entered the cycle of reincarnation."
To be able to meet again in this lifetime is truly a blessing from heaven; it is wonderful, wonderful, this fate is so rare.
Then, his gaze fell on Elder Xuanming and Elder Guanghan, and the same feelings of emotion and warmth surged in his heart.
The elders were arguing heatedly.
Suddenly, someone noticed the sect leader's arrival. Instantly, the once noisy hall fell silent, and everyone's eyes turned to Sui Si, their faces filled with surprise and confusion.
After a brief moment of stunned silence, they hurriedly came to their senses and scrambled to their feet, some of them nearly knocking over their chairs in the chaos.
They quickly straightened their clothes and then greeted Sui Si in unison.
Elder Si Zhan's face was filled with joy, and his voice trembled slightly with excitement:
"Sect Leader, you've finally emerged from seclusion!"
You have no idea how many meetings we've held and how many plans we've discussed for this martial arts competition, but we still can't make up our minds. We're just hoping you can come and give us your advice and a decision!
Your arrival makes us feel much more at ease.
Elder Xuanming's eyes showed surprise, and his tone carried a hint of delight:
"Yes, it's truly rare for you, Sect Leader, to personally participate in the discussion of this martial arts competition!"
In the past, you were always engrossed in seclusion and cultivation, and rarely paid attention to these trivial matters in the sect.
Your presence today will surely point us in the right direction.
Elder Guanghan frowned slightly, her eyes filled with concern, and asked softly:
"Sect Leader, have you encountered any obstacles in your cultivation breakthrough, so you came out of seclusion to get some fresh air and change your mindset?"
If you encounter any difficulties, please feel free to let us know, and we will do our utmost to help you resolve them.
The crowd chattered amongst themselves, their voices mingling like a flock of cheerful sparrows chattering incessantly, making Sui Si's head buzz.
Sui Si's lips twitched slightly, and he silently complained to himself:
"It's been so long, and everyone's tongues have gotten sharper and sharper, almost as sharp as Ran Cang who talks all day long."
However, the crowd was unaware of Sui Si's thoughts and continued to look at the sect leader, who usually only knew how to cultivate in seclusion, with concern in their eyes.
They were afraid that if he got upset, he would turn around and go back to his seclusion, leaving them with all this complicated work.
Fortunately, Sui Si was born with a cold and aloof face. Even though he didn't speak, he didn't reveal any of his true thoughts and successfully concealed his helplessness.
Looking at the familiar yet unfamiliar faces before him, Sui Si had an idea.
A faint smile appeared on his face, a smile as warm as the spring sun, instantly dispelling the gloom of the tense debate in the hall.
He spoke in a calm tone, his voice steady and powerful:
"It's been a long time since we've all met, and it feels a bit awkward. Now that we're here, I'd like to take a good look at the sect's recent situation and the details of this martial arts competition."
After all, this martial arts tournament concerns the honor of our sect, and we must treat it with utmost care.
As he spoke, he looked at Elder Si Zhan with gentle eyes.
"Elder Si Zhan, in your opinion, among the disciples of our sect today, who has the most outstanding skill in swordsmanship?"
I'd like to hear your thoughts, since you usually pay the most attention to your disciples' combat abilities.
Elder Si Zhan was flattered and immediately straightened his back, puffing out his chest, his face beaming with pride. He cleared his throat and said earnestly:
"Sect Leader, when it comes to swordsmanship, Yi Feng is absolutely gifted and has exceptional talent."
His comprehension of swordsmanship is extraordinary; he has his own unique understanding of every move.
He diligently cultivates himself day and night, and his dedication to research makes me, as an elder, very gratified.
Take the last sparring session as an example. Facing an opponent who was a level above him, he remained calm and composed, and with his superb swordsmanship and flexible adaptability, he managed to win despite the danger.
Recently, he has made rapid progress and has learned several advanced sword techniques.
"In this competition, I'm confident he'll bring glory to our sect with his superb swordsmanship. I have complete faith in him!"
Sui Si nodded slightly, a look of approval on his face, indicating his approval of Elder Si Zhan's answer.
He then turned his gaze to Elder Xuanming and said in a gentle voice:
"Elder Xuanming, I heard that you are in charge of the disciples' daily cultivation. You have worked hard all these years."
How is the overall cultivation progress of our sect now?
During the cultivation process, are there any things that I need to pay special attention to, disciples?
"Please feel free to speak; we can discuss and resolve this together."
Elder Xuanming quickly responded, his expression respectful, and bowed slightly as he said:
"You're too kind, Sect Leader. This is all within my duty."
The disciples are very diligent and enthusiastic in their cultivation. They start cultivating before dawn every day and don't rest until late at night.
However, some disciples are not yet proficient in controlling spiritual energy, especially in the conversion and output of spiritual energy, which often results in instability.
For example, when casting high-level spells, insufficient spiritual energy supply can greatly reduce the spell's power.
Alternatively, when compressing spiritual energy, it may be difficult to control precisely, which can easily lead to spiritual energy disorder.
I'm planning to intensify their training in this area soon, developing a specialized spiritual energy control training course, hoping to help them achieve a breakthrough before the competition.
Afterwards, Sui Si chatted with Elder Guang Han about the sect's defensive formations and logistical support.
Elder Guanghan gave a detailed report on the progress of various tasks, from upgrading and transforming the defensive magic array to the storage and allocation of logistical supplies, leaving no detail unattended.
Sui Si listened attentively, occasionally asking questions and offering suggestions.
For example, inquiring about the effectiveness of defensive formations in dealing with special attacks, and whether logistical supplies can meet the needs of long-term combat.
Taking advantage of this opportunity to communicate, Sui Si cleverly extracted information from them, just as he had done with his previous junior brothers.
His words were gentle and full of concern, making it impossible to tell that he was intentionally trying to find information.
He asked, seemingly casually:
"By the way, I heard that a new junior brother recently joined the sect. He's the one I ran into by chance last time. How is his cultivation going?"
The elders told him everything they knew without reservation.
From cultivation progress to various internal sect affairs, and even the details of the junior brother he was meeting for the first time, including his spiritual root attributes, cultivation talent, and personality traits, Sui Si knew everything clearly.
In this seemingly ordinary exchange, Sui Si not only obtained important information, but also felt the continuation of the sincere friendship he once shared. This gave him more confidence and assurance in his life in this world and in the challenges he was about to face.
Sui Si pondered for a moment, his expression growing increasingly solemn. He raised his eyes to look at the elders and asked in a slow voice:
"Given the critical importance of this meeting, has there been any preliminary considerations regarding the roster for the upcoming match?"
Although I have been in seclusion for a long time, I still understand the significance of the Three Realms Grand Competition. It concerns the future development of our sect and even the entire cultivation world.
Elder Si Zhan quickly stood up, handed over a list with both hands, and said:
"Sect Leader, these are our preliminary candidates: Yifeng, Lingyue, and Haoyu."
Their skills are outstanding among the younger generation, especially Yifeng, whose swordsmanship is superb and whose adaptability is also strong. We are thinking of having him lead the charge.”
Sui Si took the list, his gaze slowly sweeping over it, and nodded slightly:
"I trust Yifeng's strength, but in this Three Realms Grand Competition, all forces will definitely send their elites, so we cannot be careless."
I've heard that the resource allocation rules for this competition are different from previous ones. Are you all aware of this?
Elder Xuanming frowned, responding with a worried expression:
