In the Kyushu Cauldron.
After everyone jumped down, they seemed to fall into the dark night or into the clouds.
Luo Yi pulled the three teenagers and kept falling.
It was pitch black all around, and no one knew how long they would fall. It was impossible to see anything here. Even if Luo Yi used his obsidian eyes, he still couldn't see through the scene inside the cauldron.
I don't know how long it took, but the speed of this fall seemed to gradually slow down.
Suddenly, a feeling of suffocation came.
As if someone suddenly grabbed their necks, Luo Yi couldn't help but frowned.
The next moment, they suddenly emerged from the water!
The three teenagers were breathing heavily.
Luo Yi was okay. He stood up wetly and looked at the seawater that almost covered his chest with some confusion.
I was falling all the way, could it be that I fell into the sea water?
But why was there no obvious feeling of falling? He only felt that he was falling all the way. But when he suddenly raised his head, he found that he was walking out of the sea.
And this place is extremely gray, not dim, but gray.
The sky was dim and dull, and what should have been a blue sky turned gray here.
The surroundings were filled with gray fog, making it difficult to see the scene in front of them.
Luo Yi turned his head and looked behind him. More and more monks emerged from the sea.
"Let's go." Luo Yi dragged the three teenagers and slowly waded through the sea water.
For some reason, Luo Yi always felt that the sea water was... a bit sticky.
And it has a faint smell of blood.
Luo Yi felt a little more cautious, and he slowly walked forward.
In the gray mist, Luo Yi could vaguely see land appearing in front of him.
But Luo Yi had some doubts in his heart.
According to what Makura said before, after entering the competition, everyone's positions will be randomly dispersed.
But at this moment, the three teenagers were not separated from Luo Yi.
Behind Luo Yi were the monks from the Northern Territory who had come down with him earlier.
"Has the competition really started yet?" Luo Yi couldn't help but wonder.
Gradually, the continent in front of us became clearer and clearer.
Luo Yi and others waded through the sea and walked to the shore.
Looking at the gray sky and gray fog, Luo Yi suddenly felt a familiar feeling in his heart.
This feeling made him feel familiar, but also made him feel a little uneasy.
Luo Yi slowly squatted down and reached out to grab a handful of soil from the ground.
This soil is burnt black.
Luo Yi's face became more solemn.
He already had some guesses in his mind.
Luo Yi turned around and looked at the land that was almost completely shrouded in gray mist.
"Let's go."
The three teenagers followed him, and a group of northern monks also walked out of the sea and followed Luo Yi.
Young Shentu Wenyan looked at the gray surroundings: "Master, are we participating in the competition here?"
Luo Yi shook his head: "I'm afraid not."
The jade slips given by Liuli Taoist Temple did not record much information on them.
It is only said that after entering the competition, there will be a unique spiritual pull.
But what exactly does this mean, Luo Yi still can't understand it.
This land shrouded in gray mist is very large. Luo Yi did not control the wind without authorization. Firstly, he was worried about triggering certain restrictions. Secondly, the three young men and the northern monks behind him were not at a high level and could not do it now. Walk with the wind.
"Master, there seems to be a mountain in front of you." Murong Chen squinted his eyes into the distance and said slowly.
Luo Yi also looked towards the mountain, "Let's go, climb over this mountain first."
Everyone started to rush on their way again. At this moment, this ancient place that no one had set foot on for thousands of years ushered in its last glory.
Outside the Kyushu tripod.
A huge dragon boat slowly appeared in the sky above the Eternal Secret Realm.
Zhongtang raised his head slightly, and several figures jumped down from the huge dragon boat.
Many people looked sideways. The competition had already begun. Why was there still someone so late?
What a great style, what kind of god is this?
Many people were whispering and discussing in low voices.
An old gentleman wearing a Confucian shirt slowly stepped down from the dragon boat.
At this moment, even Deputy Chief Zhongtang actually stood up.
Many people began to speculate about the identity of this person. How could Zhongtang stand up to greet him?
Everyone in Liuli Taoist Academy suddenly stood up.
Not far away, Luo Tianchen slowly drank the hot tea in his hand and glanced at the huge dragon boat.
"The Cen family..."
Luo Tianchen muttered silently in his heart.
Zhongtang said loudly: "Mr. Cen actually came in person?"
The old man wearing a Confucian shirt, with gray hair but not an old face, is Cen Chong!
"This competition is no small matter, I have to put more thought into it." Cen Chong slowly landed in front of Zhong Tang.
Zhongtang was the first to salute, and Cen Chong returned the salute slightly.
Many thoughtful people present were shocked when they saw Zhongtang's salute.
this……
This Vice-mountain Master Zhong actually performed discipleship rituals?
Who is this old gentleman?
Zhongtang said: "It has been a hundred years since Mr. Cen left the Taoist Academy, and we, the teacher and the students, have not seen each other for a hundred years."
Cen Chong smiled casually and said, "Assistant Commander Zhong is joking. I can't afford to be Deputy Commander Zhong's teacher. Back then, I was just a master at Liuli Taoist Academy. Besides, Deputy Commander Zhong studied under Mr. Qiu and followed him." I’m a bad old man, but I’m not very familiar with him.”
Zhongtang also smiled, "Mr. Cen is joking, once a teacher, always a teacher."
"In front of Mr. Cen, I, Zhongtang, am still a junior."
Cen Chong waved his hand, "Okay, there's no need for these false courtesy, please take a seat quickly."
Zhongtang stretched out his hand to invite Mr. Cen to take his seat first and take the main seat.
After Cen Chong sat down, he waved gently.
"Zi Yan, hurry up and participate in the competition. Don't miss the time."
A young man wearing splendid clothes and a face like a crown of jade bowed slightly, and then stepped into the Nine Provinces Cauldron.
Behind this young man, there was a middle-aged man with a stern face.
The middle-aged man followed the young man without saying a word and jumped into the Nine Provinces Cauldron together.
Shen Shuo glanced at the stern-looking middle-aged man and seemed to remember something, and his brows suddenly furrowed.
Shen Shuo spoke to Zhongtang with his heartfelt voice: "Deputy Mountain Master Zhong, the middle-aged man who just entered the Nine Provinces Cauldron seems to be Tongzhou who was released from the Taoist Water Prison ten years ago."
Zhongtang was slightly startled, "Tongzhou?"
"That Tongzhou who uses human blood to practice demonic skills?"
Shen Shuo nodded solemnly.
Zhongtang also frowned, "How old is this Tongzhou now?"
Shen Shuo said with a complicated expression: "It happens to be two hundred."
Zhongtang turned his head and looked at Mr. Cen.
However, Cen Chong seemed to have guessed what Zhongtang wanted to ask. He took the lead and said, "It doesn't matter. Tongzhou has been practicing in my Cen family for many years. He is only here to serve as a guardian."
"Come, have some tea."
Cen Chong slowly pushed a cup of tea in front of Zhongtang.
Zhongtang frowned slightly, hesitated, and finally said nothing. Instead, he slowly picked up the teacup and took a sip.
At the same time, Zhongtang said to Shen Shuo in his heart: "Tell Qingfeng to keep an eye on that Tong Zhou. If there is any abnormal movement of this person, kill him immediately."
"Yes!" Shen Shuo responded.
Zhongtang turned to look at Cen Chong and said with a smile: "I haven't seen Mr. Cen for many years, but he doesn't look old at all. Instead, he seems to be rejuvenated. I guess it must be that the old gentleman's realm has improved again?"
Cen Chong smiled, "It's just the Five Mysteries, not worth mentioning."
Zhongtang immediately narrowed his eyes, then said four words with a smile.
"congratulations."
