Chapter 39: The sea of bitterness is endless, and all rivers return to the sea
At the end of the challenge, both sides returned to the viewing platform. Cao Leshui looked at the egret paralyzed on the side, sighed, and draped his robe over her. The egret subconsciously dodged for a while, then looked at Cao Leshui, and said stupidly: "When you asked me, I wanted to admit defeat, but you didn't give me time to open my mouth." β
Cao Leshui was stunned for a moment, and said with an embarrassed expression: "I'm sorry, the maintenance of Wanchuan returning to the sea consumes me a lot, and I have to continue to challenge, so I can't give you too much time." β
After hearing this, the egret was surprised: "Do you still want to challenge?" β
Cao Leshui nodded and said, "I've only fought one game now, and if I want to catch up with them, I have to fight at least four more games." β
The egret turned his head to look at Lin Man'er and the others in the audience, and said with a wry smile: "You are really 'arrogant' enough." With that, he propped himself up and prepared to leave. However, Cao Leshui's robe made her heart flutter. When she came back to her senses, she turned her head and smiled, "Good luck, I left this robe." β
Cao Leshui shrugged his shoulders with a slightly helpless expression. Subsequently, I went to Meihuatai again to report.

In the Yingsong Palace, after watching Cao Leshui's performance, Lu Sha looked puzzled and said, "Don't you think his last move is a bit like the secret technique of the Northern Underworld Imperial Family-Shui Linglong?" β
Feng Guan shook his head, a little uncertain, and said, "It shouldn't be, I was fortunate enough to meet the Northern Hell Emperor before, and his water is much stronger than Cao Leshui's." β
Lu Sha sighed and replied, "Even if it's not Shui Linglong, it's a similar exercise. β
When Feng Guan heard the words "similar exercises", he thought of a possibility. At that moment, he looked at Dongfang Qingtang and asked, "Dean, it is rumored that the water Linglong of the Northern Darkness Imperial Family is related to the Wuji Derivative Recipe created by the Wuji Heavenly Venerable, I don't know if this matter is true?" β
Dongfang Qingtang nodded slightly and said, "As far as I know, there are a total of nine Wuji derivative techniques created by Wuji Tianzun back then, which are the Four Divine Techniques of Water, Fire, Wind and Thunder, the Three Spiritual Techniques of Civil Engineering and Gold, and the Holy Light Technique and the Shadow Duel. The water exquisiteness of the Northern Underworld royal family is derived on the basis of the water god formula. And the Wood Treasure Record of my Donghao Royal Family is derived on the basis of the Wood Spirit Technique. β
After Feng Guan heard this, he asked again: "In addition to being scattered among the five royal families, is there any other legend of the Wuji Derivative Formula?" β
Dongfang Qingtang smiled and told the story of Wuji's derivative recipe to the three of them.
When Wuji Tianzun left the ancestral star, he handed over the Wuji derivative recipe to the five halls of Qinglong, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, Xuanwu, and Qilin for joint custody. Later, the ancestors of the four royal families of Beiming, Xiluo, Donghao, and Nanling each inherited one. And Xuanyuan Shuo, the ancestor of the Central Plains royal family, inherited three, namely the Wind God Formula, the Thunder God Technique, and the Earth Spirit Technique. This is also one of the reasons why the Central Plains royal family is ranked first among the five royal families.
Of course, sometimes too many treasures are not necessarily a good thing. At least the current situation of the Central Plains royal family is largely due to the Wuji derivative technique.
As for the transmission of the exercises, it was because in addition to the five people who were selected by the five major halls, including Bei Minghao, Dongfang Yi, Nangong Lu, Ximen Su, and Xuanyuan Shuo, there were other disciples. Of course, history only remembers those who succeed, and those who fail are destined to be forgotten by future generations.
Of course, some losers will use special ways to make future generations remember themselves. For example, one of the chosen ones, like Bei Minghao, evolved a new technique based on the Water God Technique, namely the Endless Sea of Suffering. This person is the Kuhai Dao person who was respected by later generations, and the most dazzling moment of his life was to resolve the crisis of the joint invasion of the two supreme sea kings of the North Sea with his own strength. (Kuhai Daoist does not mean that his cultivation is a Taoist realm, but a title.) Similarly, it is the Jiuqu Daoist who created the Zhuxian Array)
Although the bitter sea was eventually killed in battle, he killed a supreme sea king before he died. As for the other Supreme Sea King, although he survived, he never dared to set foot in the North Sea for half a step in his life.
Therefore, in a sense, although the Kukai Daoist lost the battle with the Northern Immortal Hao, he was not a loser. He traded his life for nearly three thousand years of peace in the northern part of Shenzhou.
Having said that, after listening to Dongfang Qingtang's story, Feng Guan guessed: "Could this Cao Leshui be the Bitter Sea created by the people of the Bitter Sea Dao?" β
Zhu Feng was the first to retort: "This is impossible! As far as I know, the bitter sea created by the people of Kuhai Dao is endless, and it requires a special physique to cultivate. In other words, it must be a water-based questioner. Perhaps, this is also the reason why he was finally defeated by Bei Minghao. β
However, Dongfang Qingtang knocked lightly on the desk, with a strange look on his face. It seems to say, you guys are arguing, but I know the truth anyway.
After Lu Sha noticed Dongfang Qingtang's strange expression, he thought of Qi Ran's matter again, and had a guess in his heart. coughed at the moment and said with a smile: "Since the dean already knows, please help us solve your doubts!" β
Dongfang Qingtang smiled slightly, and said leisurely: "The Endless Sea of Bitterness is indeed a water system heavenly questioner, but have you ever thought that Cao Leshui is a water system heavenly questioner?" β
Zhu Feng looked surprised at first, then shook his head and said, "Even if he is a Heavenly Questioner, but the Endless Sea of Bitterness has long been lost, how can he obtain it?" Taking a step back, even if he is blessed with good fortune and has obtained an endless sea of suffering, in just a few years, without the guidance of a good teacher, how can he be successful in cultivation? β
"Because what he cultivates is only a part of the boundless sea of sufferingβthe return of thousands of rivers to the sea. By the way, the exercise is given by this seat. Now, do you still have questions? Dongfang Qingtang looked at the three of them, and there was a hint of arrogance in his expression.
When Feng Guan heard this, he suddenly turned his head to stare at Dongfang Qingtang. Such a faux pas was not because Dongfang Qingtang's arrogant attitude surprised him, but because he remembered a past. That is, thousands of years ago, the headquarters of Shangzhou Tianbao Pavilion had a public auction of the Heavenly Rank Exercises-Wanchuan Returning to the Sea. Later, the exercise was photographed by the prince of the Northern Underworld, but on the way back, he was robbed by a mysterious person. Now it seems that this matter is inseparable from Dongfang Qingtang.
Interestingly, Dongfang Qingtang seemed to see his thoughts, and teased: "What's the matter, has Vice President Feng shifted his mind to this seat again?" β
Although it was a joke, it made Feng Guan's legs shake and he almost knelt down. Dongfang Qingtang chuckled lightly and said slowly: "At the beginning of the establishment of the five royal families, there was less than one state. Subsequently, they conquered and expanded their territory. And the Northern Underworld Royal Family and our Donghao Royal Family have been at war many times because of the ownership of Selangor. Originally, it was my Donghao royal family who had the advantage, but Bei Minghao secretly united with Nangong Law to sneak attack my Kezhou.
In desperation, the ancestors had to give up Meizhou and rescue Kezhou. Although this matter has passed, every time I think about it, I always feel a little ashamed. Therefore, it shouldn't be too much for this seat to export evil anger and ask for some compensation, right? β
Feng Guan hurriedly agreed: "Of course it's not too much!" The dean can spare his life, which is already a great blessing. β
Dongfang Qingtang nodded, with a playful expression: "If it weren't for that, I'm afraid you wouldn't be able to be the vice president of the Meizhou Branch." β
Feng Guan respectfully thanks!
ββββββββββ
On the other side, Cao Leshui was determined to challenge again. Of course, the target he chose was not Gao Runxuan, who was ranked sixty-eight, but a disciple who was ranked seventy-five. However, that disciple had witnessed Cao Leshui's heavy hand on the Egret Fairy, how could he dare to engage in the battle?
According to his thoughts, although the egret fairy is not loved by everyone and the flowers bloom, the overall popularity is still good. In addition, his cultivation is almost the same as that of the Egret Fairy, and the rankings of the two have also changed many times. Therefore, Cao Leshui can be a heavy hand on the Egret Fairy, so as a male cultivator, I am afraid that the ending will be even worse. Even, he was worried that if the prison elder was negligent, wouldn't he be dead? Therefore, he decided to throw in the towel.
Cao Leshui was quite surprised by this result, after all, none of the disciples who could be ranked in the Tianzi region were good at stubble. If you choose any one of them, you can basically beat the average demon king of the same level. (This generally refers to the demon king with medium strength, if you encounter some special bloodline or special encounter demon king, you still have to suffer.) After all, the Demon King of the same rank is stronger than the Immortal King of the same realm)
Having said that, Cao Leshui plans to challenge for the seventy-fourth place. However, with the precedent of 75 conceding defeat, 74 also chose to admit defeat after some careful consideration. No way, the higher the ranking, the closer the difference in strength.
Subsequently, Cao Leshui planned to challenge for seventy-three. However, after some deliberation, the seventy-three also decided to throw in the towel. What's even more embarrassing is that before Cao Leshui could speak, the seventy-two said they would admit defeat.
Cao Leshui shook his head, thinking to himself that he already had the right to be exempt from war. Therefore, he did not challenge 71 in order, but offside to challenge Gao Runxuan, who was ranked 68th.
Since Gao Runxuan can be ranked in front of Soul Cultivation Tai Huarui, he naturally has his means. When he heard that Lin Man'er had won more than 30 games in a row, he rushed to the observation field to watch the battle. Therefore, he naturally did not miss the game between Cao Leshui and the egret. At the same time, after some careful consideration, he also thought that if the terrain was chosen as Silver Moon Mirror Lake, then he would have no chance to defeat Cao Leshui.
However, if the ring is chosen as a terrain that is not conducive to the development of the water system law cultivation, then the result is not easy to say. For example, bone deserts, lava caves, and so on.
Thinking of this, Gao Runxuan decided to take a gamble! If he is unfortunate enough to choose the Silver Moon Mirror Lake, or similar terrain, then he will directly admit defeat, so as to retain his strength and stabilize his current ranking. On the contrary, if he chooses the terrain he wants, then go all out!
Soon, the two sides entered the plum blossom platform. Cao Leshui didn't want to waste time, so he learned Lin Man'er's way and chose the Silver Moon Mirror Lake ten times. This operation is naturally allowed in the rules, but it is inevitably a bit arrogant to do so.
So, Gao Runxuan gritted his teeth and chose the bone burial desert ten times. The meaning of its expression is also obvious, that is, don't let me choose, otherwise Lao Tzu will kill you!
In the observation field, Jin Sanpang saw this scene, glanced at Lin Man'er beside him, and quipped: "Did you see it, I learned from you." β
Lin Man'er twitched her nose and said nonchalantly: "Isn't this good?" I don't understand why I have to choose ten different ones. β
Qi Ran smiled and explained: "In the case of the strength of the two sides is not much different, the terrain can determine the victory or defeat. As a result, previous challengers have been reluctant to take this risk. However, if you choose ten different terrains, you will prioritize the ones that are too impactful and end up with terrains that are acceptable to both parties. β
After hearing this, Lin Man'er sighed: "Alas! What a hassle. If I want to say, it is good for everyone to choose it directly as the gladiatorial arena. β
When Jin Sanpang heard this, he said with a gloomy face: "What a fart, Lao Tzu is a formation cultivator, do you want Lao Tzu to carry the formation flag to fight?" β
"Then you can't set up a formation in the gladiatorial arena?"
"Cloth a hammer, just that little fart big place, you don't have to think about it to know it's a phantom array. If the other party comes up with a large-scale bombardment, where do you let Lao Tzu hide? β
Lin Man'er stomped his feet and replied, "Drill underground!" β
Jin San Fat: ......
Qi Ran was also stunned for a moment, and then silently turned his head to look at the shadow jade screen. However, when he saw the content on the screen, he rubbed his eyebrows and sighed, "It's troublesome now!" β
In the plum blossom platform, Gao Runxuan glanced at Cao Leshui and said proudly: "Burying bones in the desert, Senior Brother Cao should be more careful!" β
Cao Leshui gave a light salute, and then made a gesture of please!
