With the long ringing of the bell, the entire island seemed to come alive. In the city, on the plains, and in the mountains, waves of monks suddenly appeared, all heading towards the city.
In the central square of the city, more than 500 guards were standing ready. Next to them is an instrument that is as tall as half a person. The bottom of the instrument is a square cylinder, and the top is a ball the size of a basin.
Groups of monks arrived one after another, and some had already come to the instrument. At first, a monk stepped forward, stretched out his palm and placed it on the ball. Soon the ball flashed with a dazzling red light.
Immediately afterwards, a string of bright golden numbers floated above the ball. If you look closely, it shows one thousand, and ninety-eight.
The monk behind him was confused. When the second monk stepped forward and put his palm on the ball, the red light revealed was much less, only about two-thirds of the first monk's. Not only that, the golden light of the numbers floating on the ball was not as bright as before, and the number displayed was a pale golden five hundred and twenty-three.
"I understand, the red color displayed by the ball represents cultivation. The first monk has a higher cultivation level and is at the peak of human immortality, so the red light is particularly dazzling; the second monk is at the late stage of human immortality, and the red light is only two-thirds .”
"According to my guess, there should be only half of the monks in the middle stage of human immortality, and only one-third of the monks in the early stage of human immortality."
"What's the explanation for the numbers floating above the sphere?"
"The numbers represent the battle numbers in the arena, and the one with the same number is the opponent. This instrument is really amazing, it can actually test your cultivation!"
"Oh! So what if the instrument is wonderful? You should pay attention to who your opponent is! If you encounter a difficult situation, it is better to explain your funeral arrangements in advance."
"Looking at the fairy friend, he doesn't seem to have much confidence!"
"Nonsense, I was brought to this island just half a year ago, and I was dragged to fight in the ring without even being familiar with the ways of heaven and earth. If it were you, would you be sure?"
"Hush!"
The monks nearby exclaimed in unison, and all cast pity on him!
The monk's face flushed red, and he couldn't help but cursed angrily: "Why do these damn immortal bandits want to be kidnapped to the island and participate in this ring battle? I won't accept it!"
After saying that, he suddenly turned around and ran out of the square at top speed!
But before he could run out of the square, a huge palm print fell from the sky, instantly turning him into powder!
"Hmph!" A cold snort came from the city lord's palace, and then he said: "Escape in the face of battle, this is an example! Tell you, if you still have half a chance to survive in the ring battle, don't make unnecessary resistance!"
All the monks felt chills in their hearts, what a cruel means, what a powerful palm mark. No one dared to bear that palm easily. In an instant, the square became quiet and you could hear a pin drop!
This scene happened to be seen by Cheng Ling and Wen Lan.
They just came out of customs and came to the square together. The power of that palm print was deeply imprinted in Wen Lan's mind, and he didn't dare to say a word at all! Cheng Ling seemed not to have seen him. His only worry was whether the instrument could identify his true cultivation level. The breath-holding technique can be hidden from the monks, but the instrument doesn't know how to hide it.
As the monks stepped forward one by one, the team moved forward very quickly. After all, each monk only needed a few breaths to test, and five hundred more were prepared. In less than half a day, the monks in the square had basically completed the test, and soon it was his and Wen Lan's turn!
Cheng Ling gritted his teeth and simply gave up resistance. Since he had to be tested, he would risk it all. Fortunately, most of the people here are monks in the human immortal stage. If it doesn't work, just get out of the island!
After calming down his mind, he deliberately suppressed his immortal power, and then slowly placed his palm on top of the ball. Soon, the ball bloomed with a dazzling red light, and the red light was more dazzling than any monk could show.
"Huh!"
The guard on the side was startled, but quickly calmed down. Because after the red light shined for a moment, it instantly weakened and returned to normal. Immediately afterwards, a golden number appeared on the ball. If you look closely, it is number nine!
...
The picture changed drastically, passing through countless cosmic spaces, and on the green stars of life that had appeared before, the pointer of the Destiny Wheel moved a little bit again!
This time, the girl in the light green gown did not fall asleep, but saw clearly. She opened her mouth wide and rushed to pass the news back, but before Cheng Ling's image could fully appear in the bead in the middle of the roulette wheel, it disappeared!
In less than a moment, the woman in palace attire came to the girl in purple and stared closely at the pointer on the Wheel of Destiny. She could tell that the pointer had indeed moved before, but it returned to its original appearance.
"Jing'er, can you clearly see the image shown in the Destiny Pearl?"
"I didn't see it clearly. The image in the Destiny Pearl disappeared before it was clear, and the pointer only shook a little before returning to its original position!"
"Are you sure you read that correctly?"
"Yes, Palace Master, I must have read it right this time!"
"Well! It looks like there is indeed some treasure covering up the secret of heaven, and even the theory of destiny cannot be revealed. Last time, the variable came from the star world. This time, the trajectory of the pointer seems to come from the fairy world. Could it be that the holder of the treasure has already gone to the fairy world? ?”
"Unfortunately, the starry sky disk has been lost, and his exact location cannot be confirmed. Jing'er, from today on, you must be very alert and pay attention to the Wheel of Destiny at all times!"
"Yes, Palace Master!"
...
The style of the painting turned back. At the same time, in the square of Island No. 1, although the test equipment burst out with a dazzling red light at first, it soon returned to normal, and even the serial number of the arena battle was displayed.
Cheng Ling secretly breathed a sigh of relief, No. 9! It means that I appear in ninth place, so my ranking is high enough. However, he instantly caught the strange changes that had just occurred. This situation meant that someone was helping him hide it!
But on this island, apart from Zhang Chu and Wen Lan, I had almost never interacted with anyone. Zhang Chu has made rapid progress in the past year and has advanced to the Earth Immortal Stage. Going to Island No. 41 is impossible because Wen Lan's cultivation level is too low.
If it's not a person, what is it? The only explanation is the golden page. When he encountered danger several times, he always relied on the light emitted by the golden page to turn the danger into safety.
But the golden page was refined into his body, and it didn't glow just now! He looked inside himself, trying to find what kind of treasure could help him hide it!
After a long time, I suddenly saw a huge object emitting a faint light next to the Origin Star. The object was round, like a plate, and the outer layer of light flickered slowly several times before dimming.
Cheng Ling took a closer look and suddenly realized that the plate-like object was the starry sky disk that he bought in installments from Old Man Zhuge in the star world!
It is very funny to talk about the origin of this star disk. In order to complete the Hundred Rings mission, it cost more than one billion immortal crystals to purchase it. Its function is very powerful and it can accurately locate people. It is definitely a big killer when it comes to finding people.
However, when he was halfway through the mission, he was involved in the war between the human race and the demon race. He gradually forgot about this great weapon and kept it in his body.
I didn't expect that a halo would suddenly emit this time. It looked a bit like the legendary UFO. Could it be that this plate helped me hide my cultivation?
After thinking for a while, I couldn't figure out what was going on. But the appearance of the starry sky disk made him extremely happy. With this thing, it would be very simple to find the traces of Yun Jingwen and Yang Hongqiu. There was no need to ask around.
He quickly put his consciousness into it and began to search for traces of the two women. Unfortunately, things went counterproductive. Neither Yun Jingwen nor Yang Hongqiu were found in the Starry Sky Disk.
"Is it possible that this thing is so broken if it has not been used for a long time?"
Not giving up, he entered Zhang Chu's name again. But soon, the starry sky disk showed a map. On the map was a blue sea. Among dozens of islands, one of the islands was shining with red light. After a little calculation, it was the island No. 41 where Zhang Chu was located.
Cheng Ling felt very depressed. In this case, the starry sky disk was not broken, but the whereabouts of Yun Jingwen and Yang Hongqiu could not be found. What was going on?
He intuitively felt that the starry sky disk was by no means simple, but just as old man Zhuge said back then, many functions had not yet been researched. Unfortunately, this is not the time for research, because after a day of testing, the monks on the island were all assigned their own opponents.
Tomorrow is the time for the ring battle. Everyone is ready to have a good rest and prepare for the battle!
At this time, Wen Lan also completed the test. Like Cheng Ling, he was filled with red light and the serial number he was assigned was No. 132.
When he came to Cheng Ling, he said, "Brother, the test is over, let's go back to the mansion to rest!"
Cheng Ling nodded, and the two of them walked towards the mansion!
There was no words all the way. After returning to the mansion, Wen Lan said hello to Cheng Ling and went back to the guest room to rest. He wanted to recuperate and prepare for the decisive battle tomorrow! Cheng Ling also said some words of encouragement. He understood Wen Lan's mood very well. At this time, no matter what kind of words he said, they were feeble and he could only rely on himself to strengthen his confidence.
Returning to the guest room, he casually placed a ban, flipped his right hand, and the starry sky disk came into his palm. He looked carefully up and down, left and right, trying to see something in it, but no matter how he looked at it, it was a dark plate-like object with nothing strange about it.
The penetration of his consciousness and the refining with drops of blood all failed, and he struggled all night. It was not until dawn the next day that a violent shaking of the ground woke him up. Soon, the vibration became stronger and stronger, as if the entire island was shaking.
for a long time......!
The vibration stopped, and a loud voice came from my ears: "All monks go to the plain outside the city, the arena battle officially begins!"
After the words fell, the buzzing bell rang again, as if urging the monks to go.
Cheng Ling put away the starry sky disk and walked out of the guest room calmly. He saw Wen Lan already waiting in the front hall. After seeing him appear, he showed a smile and said, "Brother, let's go together!"
"good!"
Cheng Ling agreed and followed him towards the outside of the city. Along the way, monks heading out of the city can be seen everywhere. They have different expressions. Some are confident, some are frowning, and some are mourning. They have a strange appearance.
After walking like this for half an hour, they arrived outside the city.
Cheng Ling looked up and his pupils shrank sharply!
I saw hundreds of arenas rising suddenly on the plain, almost covering the entire plain. Those arenas were all in the shape of a five-pointed star, and the patterns were all combined together with groove-like lines. The situation was similar to that of Wushengyi Palace. The five-pointed star altar inside is exactly the same!
