Chapter 947: Chapter 915: Purple and Blue Beauties, Foundation Establishment Grand Competition

No wonder Bai Tianming was so surprised; Lu Ping looked too young.

If the Void Celestial Sword Spirit were to appear, this old man would surely be shocked speechless, exclaiming "Nascent Soul True Monarch."

Ignoring Bai Tianming, Lu Ping nonchalantly observed the surrounding cultivators. The number gradually increased, with varying levels of strength, and more cultivators at the Qi Cultivation Stage and Foundation Establishment Stage appeared.

Bai Tianming forced a smile, knowing it wasn’t the right time to engage with Lu Ping further. He awkwardly greeted a few juniors to sit down not far away, slightly closer to Lu Ping.

Wen Xianhe observed the crowd, noticing many powerful figures, and secretly resolved to cultivate diligently, inspired by the atmosphere.

If it weren’t for Lu Ping leading her here, she wouldn’t have been able to enter.

As the number of people grew, Lu Ping scanned around, searching for any sign of Li Chaoge.

As a cultivation clan, to differentiate their cultivators to outsiders, clans have uniform clan attire. With Wen Xianhe’s introduction, Lu Ping could discern which cultivators were from the Li Family at a glance.

There were quite a few Li Family cultivators, numbering over two hundred. Some formed patrol teams, others welcomed cultivators in smaller groups, and there were high-level Li Family figures chatting with external powerhouses. 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂

The atmosphere here was bustling. The Long Family’s cultivators were also present, gathered in one place.

"Senior, you see, those in purple robes are ordinary disciples of the Li Family. Those with gold-trimmed cuffs are ordinary elders, and those with gold-trimmed cuffs and collars are Supreme Elders of the Li Family."

Wen Xianhe carefully explained how to differentiate the status and identity of the Li Family cultivators.

Lu Ping noted that there were sixteen elders from the Li Family present, all with Crystallization Stage cultivation.

There were ten Supreme Elders, scattered throughout the square, presumably to prevent malicious actions from cultivators and to be able to respond immediately.

Ten Golden Core Cultivators, two Nascent Soul True Monarchs—such a formidable deterrent, who would dare make a move here?

Not to mention the Elemental Magnetic Star Ring above.

The sixteen Crystallization Stage cultivators should not be underestimated either.

However, among these Li Family cultivators, Lu Ping had yet to see the person he was searching for.

Patiently waiting, as the grand family tournament was about to begin, the number of gathered cultivators had exceeded four hundred, with half of them having Crystallization Stage cultivation or higher.

There were twenty-eight Golden Ring Level experts present.

The rest were mainly Qi Cultivation Stage and Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators, coming with elders and friends to broaden their horizons.

The Long Family had ninety-nine people, ninety were young cultivators, and nine were family elders, ranging in cultivation from Crystallization Stage to Nascent Soul Stage.

The leader was a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator named Long Xiangdao, a well-known First-Layer Nascent Soul cultivator in Yu Yang City.

Drawing everyone’s attention were two graceful, strikingly beautiful women among the Long Family’s cultivators, appearing to be in their twenties. One wore purple, the other cyan, and both were protected like stars surrounding the moon by other Long Family cultivators.

Wen Xianhe introduced these two as well.

"Senior, those are the Purple and Blue Beauties of the Long Family, belonging to the Ling Generation of cultivators, the two with the highest cultivation among their peers, both reaching Late-stage Foundation Establishment, readying for Crystallization."

"They are both gorgeous and well-known in Yu Yang City, with many suitors, the precious pearls of the Long Family."

"Truly envious, I wish I could be half as beautiful as they are."

Wen Xianhe gazed into the distance, her beautiful eyes gleaming, her face flush with envy.

Following Wen Xianhe’s gaze, Lu Ping glanced at Long Lingshu and Long Lingzhi.

The Purple and Blue Beauties indeed possessed commendable aptitude and beauty.

Looking at other young members of the Long Family, there were also a few with outstanding talent.

"Everyone, welcome to our Li Family."

As a voice rang out, resonating throughout the venue, the previously lively atmosphere fell silent.

The speaker was Li Mingxu from the Li Family.

This Nascent Soul True Monarch became the center of attention as soon as he spoke.

"The family grand competition between the Li Family and the Long Family is about to begin; we also welcome friends from the Long Family to participate, which truly honors our Li Family."

Li Mingxu said with a beaming smile.

Everyone listened to Li Mingxu’s words, and after his opening remarks, the family grand competition commenced.

Lu Ping was very interested in the cultivation techniques and fighting styles, as well as the types of magical artifacts, of the Central Ancestral Realm cultivators, so he acted as an observer, closely watching the matches.

The Li and Long Family disciples participating in the grand competition were required to compete with Foundation Establishment Stage strength, ensuring fairness in realm, followed by a competition among Crystallization Stage cultivators.

So, the event was divided into two main competitions: the Foundation Establishment Grand Competition and the Crystallization Grand Competition.

The Foundation Establishment Grand Competition started first, with each family sending seventy Foundation Establishment cultivators through a drawing method to randomly match opponents.

The Foundation Establishment Grand Competition quickly began, the first battle particularly intense, with the Li Family fielding a Mid-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator and the Long Family a Late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator.

Despite the differences in realm, the Li Family ultimately won. The Li Family cultivator wielded a flying sword spiritual artifact that was Tier Three Middle Grade in tier.

While watching, Lu Ping focused on the magical artifacts, discovering that the artifacts wielded by the two contestants were two to three times more powerful than artifacts of the same tier in Lingxi State.

This was closely related to the diverse refining resources and the highly advanced artifact refining techniques available in the Central Ancestral Realm.

Regarding cultivation techniques, there wasn’t much difference, except that the Li Family’s techniques were somewhat unique and noteworthy.

Whether this was generally the case or just a particular instance, the Foundation Establishment competition continued, and Lu Ping observed several matches, confirming his previous suspicions.

The Foundation Establishment Grand Competition progressed rapidly, with each bout typically concluded within the time it takes an incense stick to burn.

The Purple and Blue Beauties of the Long Family also participated, their graceful and elegant movements during the decisive moments an eye-catching scene amid the otherwise uniform matchups.

The strength of Long Lingshu and Long Lingzhi was indeed formidable, winning each of their matches comfortably within three to four moves, proving nearly unbeatable.

Under the Crystallization Stage, their strength was undoubtedly among the top.

However, the Li Family had formidable juniors emerging as well, although these weren’t Lu Ping’s main concern.

From start to finish, Lu Ping did not see Li Chaoge, indicating he might have to wait for the Crystallization Grand Competition for an opportunity.
