The arena rose under the clouds and mist, and the examiners from all parties who had successfully passed the third test appeared one after another for people to identify.
The venerables compared their identities one by one and wrote down their names and appearances. Those who came here are all the official candidates for the new heavenly officials. They might be big figures who can influence Jiutian in the future. It is always right to pay more attention.
If you look at the previous term, there were quite a few outstanding ones, especially the Immortal Emperor, who had already stirred up a pool of water before entering the New Heavenly Court.
Turning their eyes to the arena, they were most concerned about the monks with a background in the Celestial Dynasty and the Holy Land.
King Zhaoling of Beitianting was equally popular, ranking first in both the first and second trials.
The Demon Tribe Holy Land and Ten Thousand Stars were the same as the first one. Three demons, Tuji, Yuluo and Shi Yu, were admitted. None of the new faces made it into the third trial.
The demon clan venerable on the balcony didn’t have a good look on his face.
The eye-catching Xuancheng and Gongsun Mang also have good overall abilities. In terms of quantity, Taiyi's Tianguan Tianjiang occupies five or six positions, which is a huge proportion, and other forces basically only have one person!
What makes people happy is that two ghost cultivators broke into the North Heaven Court this time, and one of them is a direct descendant of the Netherworld Blood Sea. Shouldn't the disciples of the Netherworld Blood Sea be in the West Heaven Court?
No wonder all the venerables murmured that Ancient Heaven was originally controlled by Liuhe Holy Land, so the area where Holy Land disciples participated in the assessment was basically on their own territory.
The Ghost Path and the Buddhist Path are mainly active in the West Heavenly Court.
However, in the West Heaven Court, the Buddhist path was overwhelming the ghost path. They subconsciously thought that Gui Jiu came to the North Heaven Court to find a chance to get ahead in order to avoid the Buddhist monks.
"Gui Jiu shows up a lot. It seems that he has a good status in Ghost Road."
"No matter how hard the ghosts struggle, the position of Emperor of Heaven will not be lost to them."
"Why do I think that the position of the Heavenly Official and Heavenly General is not suitable for the Ghost Dao? The Yin Qi is deep all day long, and he can rule the nine heavens?"
After all, the Ghost Master was there, and they only muttered a few words to themselves.
Looking at the West Heavenly Court again, it is true that the ghost monks were eclipsed by the Buddhist monks. This time, two new faces appeared among the Buddhist monks, namely Yuanyue of the path of merit and virtue, and Liu Fuyi of the path of karma.
Yu Sheng was dumbfounded. The Fengyun Realm really produced many talented people. If they were put together, they would form a pile.
She looked at the monks who came out of the East Heavenly Court, and saw an impressive face. This man had a little cinnabar on his eyebrows, and was as lonely and cold as a startled dragon. He was not Sui Qinghan, who was born in Taixuan Palace.
Others commented, "She must be the direct descendant sent by the Penglai main line. She was not very impressive before, but I heard from the monks from the East Heavenly Court that she is so powerful that she seems to be the reincarnation of a disciple of the Immortal Heavenly Lord."
"What does it look like? This is Tianzun's former disciple who died young, and he is also an amazing and talented person. After debuting from Taishang Demon Slayer Sect, he created his own Taixuan path. However, it is difficult to create a path alone. It is difficult to prove it. He died in one false step, and Taixuan Dao only reached the level of Lingjian. I heard that one of her disciples went to some corner to build a Taixuan Palace to pass on."
"It seems that I didn't just fall, but I chose to be reincarnated and achieve enlightenment. I don't know how far I can go this time."
"Penglai will never let this person compete for the position of Emperor of Heaven, right?"
"It's hard to say. Taixuan Dao was born out of Wuqing Dao, so it shouldn't care about common affairs. I would rather believe that the Penglai main line is letting her show her face to pave the way for the future position of Daozi."
"Speaking of this, isn't Wangqing Tianjun also from the Taishang Demon Slayer Sect? This Taoist position... But that's right. Wangqing Tianjun has a relationship with God Yuhao. It is definitely more important than inheriting the Holy Land. Tend to gain a foothold in the new heaven.”
The venerables made countless guesses and did not go to see the monks in Nantian Court. Nantian Court mainly consisted of monks from Shenhen Moyuan, Yangtian and Yantian. The demonic monks were very slack on the mission of saving the world in the second trial and were included in the list of the third trial. There were only a handful of them, so those who entered the third trial were all monks from Yangtian Yantian, and none of them were particularly outstanding.
As everyone gathered, the Universal Spiritual Emperor personally presided over the third test as usual and asked them to come forward to test their merits.
On the merit gold stone, the merit value is displayed. Then select those with a merit value of more than 100 million and hand them over to the merit master to cast merit beads to show his favor.
The top five with the most merit will advance to the fourth trial.
As soon as the results came out, everyone was shocked. The one with the highest merit was not the Buddha, but King Zhaoling!
"King Zhaoling is truly a blockbuster, and he is worthy of being the direct descendant of the Martial Ancestor!"
"Does it mean that in the Spring and Autumn Period, it is the martial arts master's turn? In the past two times, not a single swordsman monk has excelled."
"Since the change of the Nine Rankings, Humanity Dao has the tightest restrictions on its disciples. Most of the direct disciples do not come to participate in the assessment. I guess these monks who appear in Humanity Dao are the ones who pushed them to take power."
Yu Sheng looked at it thoughtfully. The merit value of King Zhaoling last time was only more than 100 million. This time, not counting the additional investment of merit beads, the merit value reached 680 million. Plus one A meritorious master with the equivalent of one million will get a total of 1.58 billion, while the second-placed Pratyekabuddha only has about 840 million!
In the past three hundred years, what on earth has King Zhaoling been doing, and how much merit has he accumulated?
Zhan Changfeng in the pavilion was also a little surprised. With her eyesight, it was not difficult to see that Yi Chang was following the path of merit. However, most of them congratulated her. It was a good thing for the emperor's aunt to find her own path.
The third, fourth and fifth came out, respectively the direct descendants of the Buddha Kingdom, the Nanning King of the Shensha Realm, and Taiyi Shuoji.
Yuanyuejue himself majors in merit, and the accumulated merits are naturally not shallow. Fazhi majors in the power of aspiration, and he cultivates merits incidentally. However, he is Yuanyuejue's senior uncle, and this time he is also taking the second test, so he has a strong foundation.
King Nanning is a Shinto monk who cultivates natural divine patterns. She was ranked above average in all competitions in the last competition. I heard that she has been helping the Tiandao Alliance with the mission of saving the world for three hundred years, which can be regarded as a solid accumulation of experience.
Shuo Yu was relatively young and did not practice meritoriously, but he participated in the Great War and had great merit in protecting the country. In addition, he and the Hell Totem Army suppressed ghosts and ghosts, and indirectly used the authority of Hell to educate all living beings, making them fear karma and fear. Karma has greatly stabilized the order and gained a lot of heavenly merits, so it is worthy of being ranked fifth.
For example, Liu Fuyi, who cultivates karma but does not easily participate in karma, the demon clan who does not care about merits and practices the demonic path, and the immortal monks who do not usually pay attention to other people's affairs, their merit values are far lower than the top five, and they look like just going through the motions. people.
The monks from all walks of life complained one after another, "It's like this again. I'm destined to be unable to get the small seal of the ghost realm?"
"There are actually two bald men in the top five. Why not just recruit heavenly officials, heavenly generals and heavenly emperors from Buddhism and Taoism?"
"Where is this evil way!"
"What kind of merit, my demon tribe doesn't need this thing!"
The Universal Spiritual Emperor's voice spread through the ancient heaven, "Then we will enter the fourth trial to compete in combat prowess."
"The eliminated person in the second trial will challenge the five people in the fourth trial. The successful person will get a treasure. The loser will deduct a hundred merit beads. After deducting all the merit beads, he will be eliminated. The eliminated person in the third trial will challenge the fourth person. Try five, and the one who succeeds in the challenge can replace the opponent, take over the opponent's merit beads, and compete for the small path seal!"
The complaint is still unjust, "Among the eliminated people in the third trial, there are not many ghost monks. How can we let them replace these five people?"
"This selection system is unreasonable from the beginning. Isn't it better to compare merit than to directly compare combat ability?"
