I just became the Pirate King, and you're telling me I also time-traveled at the same time.

Chapter 636 Treasure Dropping Coins

Daoist Duobao frowned slightly as he watched Yu Ding Zhenren's departing figure and said, "This Yu Ding Zhenren is far too ruthless."

Zhao Gongming sighed and said, "Alas, most disciples of the Chan Sect are like this. They pride themselves on being from a prestigious and righteous sect, yet they are all narrow-minded and intolerant of others. Very well, let's leave the matter of Yao Bin here for today. The grand competition will continue, and Master and the two Sages are still watching!"

Master Yu Ding, his face ashen, returned to the Chan Sect's camp.

"Senior brother, why do you look so pale? Did Zhao Gongming bully you and hurt you?"

Seeing his appearance, Taiyi Zhenren quickly went up to him and asked with concern.

Master Yuding snorted coldly, flicked his sleeves, and sat down, gritting his teeth as he said, "Hmph! This is the territory of the Jie Sect. They rely on their numbers to bully the few, truly disgracing the dignity of a sage!"

Upon hearing this, Taiyi Zhenren was puzzled, but he didn't dare to ask too many questions and could only smile apologetically from the side.

On the other side, Daoist Duobao announced the start of the next competition, while Zhao Gongming returned to his disciples.

He looked at the crowd that had gathered around him and said in a deep voice, "Those guys from the Chan Sect are all hypocritical and treacherous, but in reality, they are insidious and ruthless. You must not be careless when you face them in the future!"

Everyone nodded in agreement, and their gazes toward Yao Bin held a newfound sympathy.

Zhao Gongming walked to Yao Bin's side, patted him on the shoulder, and comforted him, "Junior Brother Yao, focus on recovering. Victory and defeat are common in war; don't take it to heart. Those guys from the Chan Sect relied on their magical weapons; their victory was dishonorable! There's plenty of time in the future. If we brothers work together, we'll make them pay!"

Yao Bin struggled to get up, but Zhao Gongming held him down. He glanced at Zhao Gongming gratefully, then gritted his teeth and said, "Thank you for your concern, Senior Brother Zhao. I will remember your teachings!"

The four hundred arena battles lasted for seven days and seven nights.

During this time, disciples from all sides fought each other, and the sounds of clashing magical weapons, screams, and roars were endless.

Some were unlucky; Zhao Gongming and Chu Yang were unable to come to their rescue in time and were killed in the battle.

The fact that as many as eight disciples of the Jie Sect died added a bloody element to the competition.

Many disciples were seriously injured, but Chu Yang brought many immortal fruits and spiritual medicines from Yingzhou Island, and they could almost all recover unless they were killed in one blow.

In the end, only twenty-five disciples emerged from this brutal elimination round and advanced to the next round.

On the Chan Sect's side, Taiyi Zhenren and Yuding Zhenren both defeated their opponents and successfully advanced.

The remaining twenty-three were all renowned figures in the Jie Sect.

The Seven Fairy Maidens, the Three Immortal Maidens of the Clouds, the Four Holy Mothers, and others were all among them.

The result of this competition was undoubtedly a blow to the Chan Sect. They had thought victory was assured, but now they realized that the Jie Sect was far stronger than they had imagined.

The Tongtian Sect Leader stood on the high platform, looking down at his disciples with satisfaction.

He was very satisfied with the result of the competition, but also had some concerns.

He was not entirely at ease with the character flaws displayed by these disciples during the competition.

He was particularly wary of those who were impetuous and eager for quick success.

The world is ever-changing, and if one's mind is unstable, one is easily corrupted by external forces, with unimaginable consequences.

Meanwhile, the Taoist Zhunti was secretly making plans.

He noticed those disciples who were unstable in temperament or cold-hearted by nature, and a secret joy welled up in his heart.

He considered these people to be invaluable "talents," and believed that if they were used properly, they might be able to gain more benefits for himself.

Zhunti Daoist narrowed his eyes, secretly planning his next move.

After three days of rest, the disciples had recovered their strength and were ready to face the final battle.

The square in front of Biyou Palace was bustling with people, and the atmosphere was lively.

The Tongtian Sect Leader, the Primordial Heavenly Venerable, and the Zhunti Daoist sat majestically atop the high platform, gazing down upon the scene below.

The twenty-five disciples who participated took turns going up on stage to draw lots to determine their opponents.

Taiyi Zhenren drew Yunxiao, a disciple of the Jie Sect, while Yuding Zhenren drew Jinling Shengmu, a disciple of the Jie Sect.

Both of them were outstanding members of the Jie Sect and possessed great strength.

Taiyi Zhenren and Yuding Zhenren knew that their opponents were not to be underestimated, and both were prepared to go all out.

Just before the start, the Primordial Sage summoned the two disciples from the Chan Sect and gave them some instructions before letting them go back to prepare.

The first match was between Taiyi Zhenren and Yunxiao.

As the competition began, Yunxiao unhesitatingly unleashed the Hunyuan Golden Cauldron, which radiated golden light and possessed boundless power.

Not to be outdone, Taiyi Zhenren unleashed the Nine Dragons Divine Fire Cover, and raging flames soared into the sky. In an instant, the two magical treasures clashed fiercely in the air, with firelight and golden light intertwining, making them evenly matched.

Yunxiao's cultivation level was at the late stage of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, while Taiyi Zhenren was slightly inferior, but still at the mid-stage of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm. In addition, his magic weapon was also quite powerful, so it was difficult to determine who was superior for the time being.

Seeing that he could not break through after a long siege, Taiyi Zhenren devised a plan.

He pretended to be outmatched, retreating a few steps in a slightly disheveled manner to lure Yunxiao closer.

As expected, Yunxiao approached Taiyi Zhenren triumphantly, ready to end the battle.

Just then, Taiyi Zhenren suddenly unleashed the Qiankun Ring, swift as thunder, aiming straight for Yunxiao's vitals.

However, what he didn't expect was that Yunxiao was prepared and quickly neutralized the attack with the Hunyuan Golden Cauldron.

The crowd below held their breath, watching the competition on the high platform intently.

The disciples of the Jie Sect clenched their fists nervously, sweating for Yunxiao, while Master Yuding stared intently at Yunxiao.

If Taiyi Zhenren is defeated by Yunxiao, then he will be the only one left in the Chan Sect, and Yunxiao may become his greatest opponent!

The battle between Taiyi Zhenren and Yunxiao intensified, with magical treasures and spells intertwining in the air, and golden light and flames reflecting each other, instantly bringing the atmosphere to a fever pitch.

Yunxiao gripped the Hunyuan Golden Cauldron tightly, sneered, and said, "Taiyi Zhenren, you're nothing special!"

Taiyi Zhenren gritted his teeth, knowing he could not show weakness at this moment. With a thought, the Qiankun Ring suddenly flew out, heading straight for the clouds.

However, Yunxiao was already prepared and used the Hunyuan Golden Bucket to flip it over, instantly dissolving the Qiankun Ring.

"Is that all?" Taiyi Zhenren snorted coldly, thinking to himself that Yunxiao was indeed troublesome.

The two fought again, neither gaining the upper hand. The onlookers had different expressions; some cheered for the disciples of the Jie Sect, while others were worried for the disciples of the Chan Sect.

At this moment, a cold glint flashed in Yunxiao's eyes, and he suddenly unleashed his trump card—the Golden Dragon Scissors!

Two golden dragons descended from the sky, one on the left and one on the right, carrying boundless power, pointing directly at Taiyi Zhenren.

Seeing the situation was dire, Taiyi Zhenren quickly summoned the Nine Dragons Divine Fire Cover to defend himself. Nine fire dragons soared into the air and clashed fiercely with the Golden Dragon Scissors. In an instant, golden light and flames intertwined in the air, stirring up a gust of wind.

However, the Golden Dragon Scissors were ultimately superior. With a "crack," the Nine Dragons Divine Fire Cover shattered, turning into countless sparks that scattered in all directions.

Taiyi Zhenren was startled and turned to flee.

But the Golden Dragon Scissors were incredibly powerful and swift as lightning, relentlessly pursuing him and about to cleave Taiyi Zhenren in two.

Yunxiao will not actually kill Taiyi Zhenren. She is just putting on a show to force Taiyi Zhenren to admit defeat. As long as Taiyi Zhenren surrenders, she can stop immediately.

But at this critical moment, before Taiyi Zhenren had conceded defeat, a wisp of mist appeared out of thin air, knocking away Yunxiao's golden dragon scissors and taking them back.

The entire audience erupted in commotion, and everyone looked up to see the Primordial Sage standing majestically on the high platform.

He coldly stared at Yunxiao and said, "Hmph, Tongtian, look at the disciple you've taught. She's too full of malice. I'll temporarily put this magic weapon away for her!"

Yunxiao was forced to retreat repeatedly, her face flushed red, but she was powerless against the might of the Primordial Sage. She could only grit her teeth in resentment, her eyes filled with unwillingness.

The disciples of the Jie Sect were in an uproar. Chu Yang, Zhao Gongming, Duobao and others immediately appeared, their faces grim and their eyes fixed on the Primordial Saint.

The Tongtian Sect Leader's face was ashen, his gaze piercing as he stared directly at the Primordial Sage. His voice was deep and powerful: "Senior Brother Primordial, what do you mean by this? In a competition, everyone relies on their own abilities. How dare you interfere?"

The Primordial Sage snorted coldly: "Tongtian, you have failed in your teaching. Your disciples are too violent. These Golden Dragon Scissors are extremely powerful. What if they injure other disciples? Wouldn't that be a disaster?"

"In my opinion, Senior Brother is afraid that your disciples will lose the competition and lose face!" Tongtian Sect Leader laughed angrily.

The two sages were locked in a fierce confrontation, the atmosphere tense and ready to erupt into a cataclysmic conflict at any moment.

The disciples around them looked at each other, wondering what was going on, and none of them dared to interrupt.

Seeing this, Daoist Zhunti quickly stepped in to smooth things over, his tone gentle yet tinged with urgency: "Brothers, please calm down. It's all a misunderstanding, all a misunderstanding. In a competition, victory and defeat are common occurrences in war; why ruin the harmony?"

He turned to Tongtian Jiaozhu and said, "Senior Brother Tongtian, Senior Brother Yuanshi is doing this for everyone's good. These Golden Dragon Scissors are extremely powerful. What if they injure Taiyi Zhenren? Wouldn't that be terrible? How about we let Senior Brother Yuanshi keep them for us and return them after the competition?"

The Tongtian Sect Leader snorted coldly, flicked his sleeves, and sat down. He understood that the Primordial Sage was clearly biased towards his own disciple, and that any further argument would be futile.

"Hmph, how shameless!" Tongtian Sect Leader cursed inwardly, but her gaze unconsciously drifted to Yunxiao on the high platform, her face also filled with resentment and anger.

"Senior Sister Yunxiao, don't be discouraged."

Chu Yang, standing to the side, gently comforted him, his eyes full of concern: "This Primordial Sage is just trying to take this opportunity to suppress you. Don't let him succeed."

"I'm not afraid of him at all!" Yunxiao gritted his teeth, secretly vowing, "I will definitely show him who the real strongman is!"

To be honest, Chu Yang also felt that Yuan Shi's behavior was shameless. He didn't believe that Yuan Shi was unaware that Yun Xiao didn't have much killing intent. Instead, he took advantage of this to forcibly take away Yun Xiao's magic weapon.

Fortunately, at this moment, Taiyi Zhenren had basically lost the ability to fight again and could only obediently admit defeat.

Now, only Master Yuding remains of the Chan Sect.

The upcoming competition was even more anticipated, with everyone's eyes focused on the arena. Master Yu Ding stepped forward slowly, his expression calm and composed.

The Golden Spirit Mother had a cold expression, holding a dragon and tiger jade ruyi, and her eyes revealed a fighting spirit.

"Please!" Master Yu Ding smiled slightly and raised his hand in greeting.

Without any hesitation, the Golden Spirit Mother immediately summoned the Dragon-Tiger Jade Ruyi. The jade ruyi transformed into a beam of light, carrying a fierce aura as it headed straight for Jade Cauldron True Man.

Master Yu Ding did not dare to be negligent and immediately summoned the Immortal-Slaying Sword. In an instant, the two magical treasures collided fiercely in the air, producing a deafening roar.

With another strike, the two magical treasures collided rapidly once more, their light flashing and dazzling.

Everyone stared intently, holding their breath, afraid of missing a single detail.

The Golden Spirit Mother's cultivation was slightly superior, and she gradually gained the upper hand in the battle. Her Dragon-Tiger Jade Ruyi was incredibly powerful, and every attack was extremely precise.

Despite facing such a formidable enemy, Master Yuding remained calm and composed, and although the Immortal-Slaying Sword was at a disadvantage, his expression remained unwavering.

The two magical weapons clashed fiercely, locked in a fierce battle with no clear victor, and a tense atmosphere filled the air.

Master Yu Ding dodged an attack from the Holy Mother Jin Ling with a quick movement, then suddenly leaped up, his Immortal-Slaying Sword carrying a sharp sword aura as it thrust straight at the Holy Mother Jin Ling.

Golden Spirit Mother smiled slightly, her body retreating rapidly. She summoned the Jade Ruyi in her hand again, which vibrated in the air with the Immortal-Slaying Sword, producing a deafening explosion.

"Jade tripod!"

Suddenly, the Golden Spirit Mother's voice boomed like a bell, carrying a hint of provocation, "Show me your Apricot Yellow Flag, or you'll lose!"

Master Yu Ding's expression changed slightly. He glanced at the disciples watching from all around and saw that their eyes were full of anticipation and tension. He felt anxious in his heart.

The apricot-yellow flag was a protective magic weapon bestowed upon him by his master, and he did not want to use it unless it was absolutely necessary!

However, how can we underestimate or be careless when facing such a formidable enemy as the Golden Spirit Mother?

At this critical moment, Master Yu Ding smiled slightly, and with a flick of his magic weapon, the Immortal-Slaying Sword transformed into several sword shadows. Each sword shadow seemed to tear through space, heading straight for the Holy Mother Jin Ling.

Golden Spirit Mother's eyes flashed with anger, and she had no choice but to use all her strength to activate the Dragon-Tiger Jade Ruyi to defend herself.

But just as she was concentrating on defending against the sword shadows, Master Yu Ding raised his left hand, and a golden light flashed. The apricot-yellow flag appeared, its shadow filling the sky and enveloping the Golden Spirit Mother.

As soon as the apricot-yellow banner was raised, it emitted countless rays of golden light and auspicious colors, instantly enveloping the Holy Mother of Golden Spirit.

Golden Spirit Mother felt a tightness all over her body. The Dragon-Tiger Ruyi seemed to be suppressed by an invisible force, its power greatly reduced, and its originally fierce attack became sluggish.

She cursed him inwardly as "despicable," but there was nothing she could do.

This apricot-yellow banner is unparalleled in defense; even she would find it difficult to break through.

"Senior Sister Jinling, it seems you are going to be defeated by me today." Master Yuding held the Immortal-Slaying Sword, standing outside the Apricot Yellow Banner, his expression calm, as if victory was in his grasp.

Golden Spirit Mother gritted her teeth, but could only barely withstand Jade Cauldron True Man's attacks, and was extremely anxious.

She looked around and saw that the disciples of the Jie Sect all had solemn expressions, clearly worried about the current situation.

Just then, a subtle telepathic message reached the ears of the Golden Spirit Mother: "Senior Sister, please proceed according to plan!!"

Although the voice was faint, it resounded like a thunderclap in the heart of the Golden Spirit Mother.

Golden Spirit Mother's mind raced, and she instantly realized that it was her junior brother Chu Yang, who was always full of clever ideas.

Falling Treasure Coins!

How could she have forgotten this treasure! This is a rare item that even Zhao Gongming's Sea-Stabilizing Pearl could fall from! (End of Chapter)
