In front of the Emperor's Mausoleum on Wuyou Mountain, there is a thick and spacious hall, inside which are dozens of white jade desks, with some spiritual wine, spiritual fruits, etc. placed on them.
Many core disciples of the three sects, two sects and one sect followed their own sect masters and sat here, divided into several camps.
Behind the jade table at the top, there is a graceful and elegant woman wearing a five-color star crown sitting cross-legged.
She looked young, and she looked like sisters to the empress sitting next to her, but her hair was already gray.
The person was Jiang Yan, the Empress Dowager of Great Liang.
The seat where Zhao Chen sat was arranged between the Holy Spirit Sect and the Blood God Sect. On the left was the "Yinling Saint" Kong Lin, and on the right was the "Blood Bodhisattva" Qin Sheng... At this glance, it was clear that it was Fei Meng's work. .
Of course, the actual table cases are far apart from each other. Even if they are not arranged in this way, there is no need to worry about being plotted against.
He picked up a spirit fruit and checked it using the pre-sale function of "Xingcha". After making sure it was OK, he put it in his mouth and tasted it.
——He did not eat food from this world before because those ordinary foods were not considered "commodities" by "Xingcha" and could not be inspected.
"Hmm... This kind of spiritual fruit seems to be able to clear the soul and strengthen the body. It's good to eat one occasionally, but if you take it for a long time, it has no effect... It's not as effective as 'dragon meat'."
While Zhao Chen was making an evaluation in his mind, he secretly looked at Jiang Yanlai, the former "Dong Xuan" person at the top, and saw that he seemed very tired, his eyes were closed tightly, and his head was moving little by little, as if Dozing off.
Is this really the true identity of the Empress Dowager? Why does it feel like a sleepy old man... Zhao Chen frowned, then exchanged glances with the empress sitting next to Jiang Yan, and got a positive answer.
After a while, when the time came to noon, the Empress Dowager Jiang Yan woke up from her nap. After looking around, she said lightly:
"You are here to compete in martial arts for the opportunity of the 'Grand Master' in the 'Seven Star Map' in my hand.
"Everyone should be aware of the rules. I won't waste much time explaining them. Now I will show you the 'Seven Stars Chart' to show that I don't want to monopolize the opportunity privately."
After speaking, she raised her hand, and a picture scroll with the Big Dipper slowly unfolded. The three stars of Yuheng, Kaiyang, and Fluctuating Light shined in the picture, radiating inexplicable power, allowing everyone who felt it to understand. That is the opportunity to achieve "supernatural power".
"It feels somewhat similar to the 'Nine Lights Golden Medal' in the 'Xingcha', but it's not the same... Is it the 'Lu position'? Why is it so paradoxical?"
Zhao Chen didn't show it on the surface, but he had some doubts in his heart. Then he thought that even the genuine "Zhoutian Star Map" supplement could only give an illusory fourth-grade position to the monks who were on the "Star List of Supernatural Powers". He immediately guessed that Jiang Yan was probably "fooling" the masters in Dongtian because they were short-sighted and ignorant.
No wonder Qin Sheng, the leader of the "Blood God Sect", doesn't seem too keen on this competition. I'm afraid she already knows the inside story of this through her ancestors, right?
As soon as Zhao Chen thought of this, he saw the Empress Dowager facing many greedy and eager eyes, waving her hand, causing the seven-star map to fly back to the inside of the mausoleum. Then she raised the corners of her mouth and smiled calmly: "Contest. The top three in the battle can enter the mausoleum."
After a pause, she pointed to a light brown lottery tube in front of Qi Feimeng and added: "It's still the old rule, and the opponent will be determined by lottery.
"It doesn't matter if your fortune is not good for a while... After each round, the loser has a chance to challenge the winner, but it cannot be designated and it still needs to be decided by lottery... After all, luck is also a part of strength.
"Okay, now I declare that the sixteen-to-eight battle has officially begun."
After saying that, she motioned to the empress next to her to draw lots.
Qi Feimeng enthusiastically shook the bamboo stick vigorously, and a bamboo stick fell out. After taking a look at it, he read loudly:
"White Jade Sect Yunshan."
Upon hearing his name being read, a middle-aged man with a goatee sitting next to Bai Shixiong immediately stood up and saluted the empress and the clan members present.
At this time, Qi Feimeng shook another bamboo stick out. Before she could say the words, several other magic monks expressed sympathy for Yunshan, because when the bamboo stick came out of the tube, everyone's spiritual consciousness could sense it. the content on it.
"The opponent is Kong Lin, the Yin Spirit Saint." Qi Feimeng read with a smile.
Kong Lin stood up calmly, and then turned into the dark wind and flew to a flat hilltop in Wuyou Mountain, where the court had prepared a battleground for the masters.
As long as you don't go outside the range of that mountain, it doesn't count as out of bounds.
Yunshan glanced back at his sect leader. Bai Shixiong just nodded and said through a message: "Try to consume Kong Lin as much as possible, but don't hold on. When you see her using her magical power, you will immediately admit defeat."
"Yes!" Yunshan nodded slightly, then took out a magic weapon that could be used to temporarily ride on the clouds in conjunction with his own Qi, and then flew crookedly to the nearby mountain.
"Please give me some advice from the saint!" After Yunshan bowed, he knew that there was a huge gap in strength between him and his opponent, so he took the lead in launching an attack.
He majored in the "Thousand Clouds White Bone Hammer" of the "White Jade Sect", and immediately used his true energy to gather the cloud energy and turned it into a giant hammer that seemed to be made of white bones.
And he himself held the handle of the giant hammer and smashed it hard at Kong Lin.
Kong Lin took the initiative to give up the initiative because of the opponent's salute, but she did not dare to be lazy when faced with this charged hammer. With a finger of her bare hand, circles of Yin Qi condensed suddenly appeared, trapping the hammer that was being struck. body, completely unable to move.
This is the Yang Gang spell "Taiwu Yin Magic Circle", one of Kong Lin's natal spells.
At the same time, Yin Ling Sword Qi, Xuanyin Sword Qi, and Yin Feng Sword Qi spurted out from the short sword in Kong Lin's hand at the same time, forming a Xiaosancai Sword Formation and surrounding Yunshan.
Seeing that he was at a disadvantage with just one move, while his opponent just stood there and moved his fingers...
Yunshan couldn't help but feel a little frustrated, and he was also full of envy for the natal magic that was triggered by thoughts.
But he quickly gave up these distracting thoughts, because the sword formation composed of the three sword energies was already here.
Yunshan had no choice but to use Qinggong and rely on high-speed movement to avoid the attack of the sword energy. At the same time, he threw a few black beads to meet the sword energy.
Boom! Boom!
With several loud noises, Yunshan also took advantage of the situation to bully Kong Lin as the Yin evil thunder beads given by the sect master successfully broke through the sword formation composed of sword energy.
He saw the right moment, activated the power of the magic weapon on his belt, turned himself into a bone chariot, and crashed straight into Kong Lin.
But Kong Lin seemed unable to dodge, and actually froze on the spot, letting the chariot run over...
Yunshan didn't expect that he could beat the master. He looked at the surprised masters on another mountain peak and the empress whose cheeks seemed to be red. He couldn't help but feel a little elated and laughed loudly.
But soon, the severe pain in his body made him wake up.
He looked around blankly and saw that Kong Lin had turned around and used the dark wind to fly back to the mountain where the palace was located, while he was buried in the collapsed mountain.
How could any saint be crushed by the "Bone Chariot"... It turns out that everything was just a dream of mine!
He actually lost by taking the initiative to hit the mountain...
In the palace with dozens of jade cases, Bai Shixiong looked at Kong Lin, who was flying back leisurely, and snorted: "The ghost mist, body-eating thunder, and ghosts entering dreams, apart from not borrowing power from heaven and earth, temporarily In addition to the magical power of forming the 'Soul-eating Yin Wind', the saint really thinks highly of my disciples of the White Jade Sect."
Kong Lin, however, didn't even look at him and sat back in her seat.
Bai Shixiong was about to get angry, but Qi Feimeng had already chosen the candidates for the next group of battles:
"Zhao Chen versus Xuan Hai sent Yi Shan."
Bai Shixiong, Li Yushi and other people who knew the details of "Fairy Bibo" were delighted when they heard this, and felt that the lottery was fair. Didn't the imperial court's own people match up?
But the next moment, "Bibo Fairy" Yishan raised her hand and said with a smile:
"I am so famous as 'Red Blooded Shura' that I dare not fight against him...I give up!"
