Inside the Tianzong Gate of Qingyun Cave, there is a wide flat land with formations engraved on it. Opposite the site is a cliff.
There were two majestic old men standing on the cliff.
The two deacons led everyone to a stop in front of the formation field.
There was a stone platform in front of them, with a crystal ball the size of a basin placed on it.
"This crystal ball is an instrument to test your realm, and the test of your realm is also one of today's assessments." A deacon turned around and explained to everyone, while the other deacon walked towards the cliff at the end of the magic circle and landed on that Beside the two old men, something was whispered.
"The entry assessment is divided into two stages. The first is the realm test. You have passed the audition. No matter what the results of today's assessment are, you can all apply for entry registration and become my disciples in Qingyun Cave Heaven. But the first place in the assessment is This stage, the test of realm, determines whether you will be an outer disciple or an inner disciple after you enter!"
"My Qingyun Cave Heaven, the prerequisite for inner disciples is to enter the holy realm. Anyone among you who have reached the saint realm can become an inner disciple, while those below the saint realm are outer disciples."
"Of course, this is not absolute. Those who are under the realm of saints can be promoted to inner disciples as an exception as long as they can pass the second stage of the assessment within the time limit."
"The second stage of the assessment is to pass the sword array area. You need to wear my Qingyun Cave Heaven assessment's special jade token for half a stick of incense, hang it on your chest, and successfully pass the sword array. During this period, the jade token will be broken. If it breaks, it means failure in the assessment; if it exceeds the time, it means failure in the assessment."
"In the second stage of the assessment, the top three assessors who reach the finish line fastest will receive generous rewards. The first place will be rewarded with ten bottles of Holy Spirit Baicao Liquid, the second place will be rewarded with six bottles of Holy Spirit Baicao Liquid, and the third place will be rewarded with Holy Spirit Three bottles of Baicao liquid."
"Holy Spirit Herb Liquid is a cultivation liquid refined by our sect by collecting more than a hundred kinds of Holy Spirit Herbs. It has an extremely significant effect on people below the realm of the Holy King, and can increase the speed of cultivation hundreds of times. Generally speaking, As long as your qualifications are not too weak, you can successfully break through the realm in a very short time by using the Holy Spirit Baicao Liquid!"
When everyone heard such words, their eyes suddenly became hot and their blood boiled.
Many of them have heard of Holy Spirit Baicao Liquid, which is a resource that practitioners in the saint realm crave.
However, the Holy Spirit Baicao Liquid is too rare, and its refining conditions are extremely harsh. It requires hundreds of fixed holy-level essences supplemented by special formulas to be refined.
Although there are some on the market, they are rare and extremely expensive, and they will be sold out as soon as they come out.
In today's entrance examination, the first place actually got ten bottles of Holy Spirit Baicao Liquid as a reward, which is really amazing!
Many people in the crowd whispered to each other.
When some people were talking, they glanced at Jun Wuxie from time to time.
"We have to fight for this position, so we need to cooperate well. If we succeed, how about sharing the Holy Spirit Baicao Liquid equally?"
"I'm telling you, this way..."
Some people were discussing secretly, not knowing what they were talking about, and then gradually a confident smile appeared on their faces.
"Everyone, please be quiet. I haven't finished speaking yet." The deacon in front of the crystal ball made a gesture and waited for the scene to quiet down. Then he pointed to the field behind him and said, "This is the main venue for the second stage of the assessment. The array set up inside is called Yunhai Sword Array, it is the first one on Yunhai Peak, and was arranged by Master Yunyin himself."
"However, you can rest assured that Master Yunyin has suppressed the power of the Yunhai Sword Formation. Although it is somewhat difficult for those who have just entered the realm of saints, I believe that many of you can pass it smoothly, so work hard Bar."
"I just said that the Sea of Clouds Sword Formation is the main venue for the second phase of the assessment, which means there is also a secondary venue. If any of you are confident, you can choose the secondary venue to try."
As he spoke, the deacon pointed to a place a few hundred meters to the left of the Yunhai Sword Formation site, where there were bluestone steps sloping upward.
The bluestone stairs are divided into many sections, and there is a bluestone platform every other section.
Everyone's eyes fell on the bluestone stairs.
Those bluestone stairs lead slopingly to the top of the cliff, with a total of nine bluestone platforms.
There are sparse kendo runes engraved on the bluestone steps. When you reach the bluestone platform, the kendo runes gradually become denser, and there are more runes as you go up.
On both sides of the bluestone stairs, an epee was inserted every two meters. The hilts of the epee were connected by iron chains inscribed with runes.
Just looking at it from a distance, I felt as if those heavy swords were pressing on my heart, giving me a suffocating feeling that it was difficult to breathe.
"Master Deacon, is that bluestone staircase the legendary road of our sect?"
Among these examiners, there are many direct descendants from big families in various cities, and they have already heard about the legendary road in Qingyun Cave.
When I saw it today, I realized how terrifying this legendary road is.
Not to mention embarking on the road of legend, from such a long distance, if you feel it for a moment, the sword intention of the epee will make you feel suffocating. What kind of pressure will you face if you really want to climb the bluestone stairs?
"Yes, that road is the legendary road where our Qingyun Sword Sect Zhenwu Peak first set up the Zhenwu Sword Formation. So far, among all the entrance exams, no one has been able to pass it. If you have If you are confident, you can give it a try.”
"Forget it then. No one in all eternity can pass the road of legend. We still have some self-knowledge. The true martial sword intention is too terrifying."
"Lord Deacon, I heard that a peerless genius from our sect tried to follow this legendary road ten years ago. Although he failed, he climbed onto the eighth bluestone platform. Is this true?"
"It's true, but it's a pity that we missed the last step..." There was a look of regret on the deacon's face, and then he showed a look of pride: "The one you are talking about is called Qin Yi. He was only sixteen years old when he took the entrance examination. Years old, but he is already in the early stage of the Saint's Little Heavenly Stage, and now he is the direct disciple of our Qingyun Cave Heaven Headmaster, the first of Qingyun Peak, Qingxuan Zhenren, and the first direct disciple of my Qingyun Cave Heaven Master!"
"Your senior brother Qin Yi has amazing talents, extraordinary understanding, and his cultivation speed is as fast as a god's help. He is the pride of our sect. You should all follow his example in the future, practice hard, and improve yourself."
"We will."
Many people showed admiration and admiration.
"Master Deacon, if you pass the test of the Legendary Road, will there be any special rewards?"
Someone asked out of curiosity.
"That's natural. If you can pass the examination of the Legend Road, you will be the first in the entry examination. You will not only be rewarded with ten bottles of Holy Spirit Herb Liquid, but also a Zhenwu Blood Pill left behind by the first generation of Zhenwu Peak. We don’t know what the specific effect of the blood pill is, but it can definitely make people break through the realm."
"In addition, you can also enter the Zhenwu Ancient Palace that has been sealed for eternity in Zhenwu Peak, and obtain the special inheritance left by the first generation of Zhenwu Peak."
"Ah? What kind of special inheritance? Doesn't Zhenwu Peak turn its true energy into energy to control heavy swords for close combat? If it is the inheritance of Zhenwu practice, then..."
The speaker was obviously not interested. Hearing the inheritance of Zhenwu Peak, he suddenly lost the enthusiasm and expectation.
Many people are unwilling to join Zhenwu Peak, firstly because practicing Zhenwu Sword Art is too harsh on themselves, and secondly, practicing Zhenwu Sword Art is very hard, and the realm breakthrough is slower than practicing Qingyun Cave Heaven's other four-line sword art.
"Haha, no one knows what special inheritance the first generation of Zhenwu Peak left in the Zhenwu Ancient Palace. Maybe it is not the method of Zhenwu cultivation, but something else."
…
Jun Wuxie has been listening quietly from behind.
Whether it was the Holy Spirit Baicao Liquid or the Zhenwu Blood Pill, he was very excited.
Both of these things can quickly improve the realm, which is exactly what he needs now.
Although he still has the corpses of many powerful Yin spirits in the saint realm to devour, he does not have too many resources.
Moreover, the Holy Spirit Herb Liquid is a resource that can be used by anyone below the Saint King, and the corpses of the Yin spirits on his body are nothing more than a small heaven in the Saint realm. With the huge amount of resources he needs, if he devours all the corpses, he will probably only be able to advance to a small level.
"Now that the curiosity is satisfied, the first phase of the assessment has officially begun!" The deacon announced loudly, "Don't be chaotic, come one by one!"
The examiner standing at the front immediately walked towards the crystal ball. The deacon reminded: "Put your palms on the crystal ball and circulate the true energy in your body."
Suddenly, the crystal ball lit up with the light of runes, and a few words appeared on it, which were the name and realm of the tester.
"Wang Qing, the early stage of the Saint's Little Heavenly Stage."
The deacon announced loudly and recorded the information on the jade slip in his hand, saying: "Next one."
The man named Wang Qing stepped aside with a smile on his face.
"Qian Tang is half a step into the realm of a saint."
…
One assessor after another came forward to test.
Jun Wuxie waited quietly in front of the end, it would take some time before it was his turn.
After all, there are thousands of examiners selected from various cities.
Among the people tested, there are still relatively few people who are in the realm of saints, only one in ten.
During this period, Jun Wuxie felt several cold eyes with anger.
He looked up and saw that it was the two old men with a faint majesty on the cliff and the deacon.
"It does seem like it will be a bit troublesome..."
He knew that the deacon had already told the two elders what happened in the compound.
At this time, five figures came through the sky.
The leader was a middle-aged man who looked to be in his fifties, had a three-inch green beard, and had an elegant temperament.
On his left side is a beautiful woman wearing a Xiayun Taoist robe, a hairpin in her hair, a solemn expression, and cold eyes, and an old man with a strong build, a full beard, and a calm and authoritative old man.
On the right side is an old man wearing a Yunhai Taoist robe, with a broad body and a fat body, a white face and a beardless face, and a kind expression.
The other one made Jun Wuxie look shocked.
That was a familiar face, and it was actually the old man outside Liuyun City who reminded him to participate in the audition, and who secretly sent a message with his spiritual mind inside Qingyun City, telling him not to reveal his true identity.
The old man has a slender figure, a clear face, and a rather immortal air.
At this time, she was looking at him with a smile, her eyes were particularly gentle.
The five people landed on the cliff, and the two elders and deacons immediately came forward and bowed to pay homage.
"Greetings to the headmaster, the leader of Luoxia Peak, the leader of Benlei Peak, the leader of Yunhai Peak, and the leader of Zhenwu Peak."
The four leaders nodded, and Master Qingxuan, the headmaster of Qingyun Peak, said calmly: "No need to be polite. What is the proportion of the disciples in this audition who have entered the Holy Realm?"
"Back to the teacher, the test has not been completed yet. Judging from the current situation, it is only one tenth."
An elder said this.
"Hey, it is indeed a bit low. The fresh blood we have attracted over the years has lagged behind other forces. Fortunately, we recruited Qin Yi and others ten years ago. Otherwise, this generation would have lagged far behind others. The four sects During the martial arts competition, you will inevitably be ridiculed by people from the other three major forces." Master Qingxuan sighed.
Master Yunyin, the leader of Yunhai Peak, heard this and said: "In terms of overall strength, I am not weaker than them, but the new generation has fallen behind in recent years. For hundreds of years, I, Qingyun, have never raised my head in nineteen consecutive martial arts competitions. , either third or fourth..."
"Hmph! In the past few hundred years, if Zhenwu Peak hadn't produced outstanding disciples and held us back, how could we be either at the bottom or second to last? Even if we can't get first place, second place is always okay!"
The leader of Benlei Peak, Benlei Man, had a hot temper and was always holding a grudge in his heart. He did not show any dignity in front of the leader of Zhenwu Peak and scolded him in public.
"My Zhenwu Peak Kung Fu is special. You don't know. If we could recruit suitable talents, why would we end up like this? Don't our disciples of Zhenwu Peak work hard? Although they lost, they never brought shame to the sect!" Zhenwu Peak The first Master Chengyuan lost his usual gentleness, his facial muscles twitched, and his eyes were filled with anger.
Which pot does Ben Lei Zhenren not open and lift?
In so many martial arts competitions, he, Zhenwu Peak, never flinched. The disciples of Zhenwu Peak all fought until the last moment, until they were seriously injured and fell to the ground unable to get up.
As a result, he was left with serious hidden illnesses, making it difficult to make progress throughout his life.
Many of his disciples were depressed and unhappy as a result, leading to aggravation of hidden illnesses and premature deaths.
This is the pain and haze that cannot be erased from his heart!
"Isn't it because of your Zhenwu Peak Kung Fu? I have long advised you to abandon the Zhenwu Sword Technique, but you insist on insisting on it. I think the Zhenwu Feng technique of your lineage has no merit!"
“Whether it has any merit, you’ll know after you try it!”
The heavy sword on Master Chengyuan's back trembled slightly, and a sword intent as heavy as a mountain and suffocating spread out.
"Nonsense!" Master Qingxuan, the master, stopped with a stern face and said, "You are all thousands of years old, are you going to make a joke in front of the disciples? Junior Brother Chengyuan, don't argue with Junior Brother Benlei. , he just has such a bad temper and speaks uncontrollably."
Those who were testing the realm and those who had already tested were all shocked by the sword intent. At that moment, they felt as if there was an invisible mountain pressing down on them, making them unable to breathe at all.
"This Zhenwu Sword Intent is quite good, quite domineering..."
Jun Wuxie was shocked. A sect like Qingyun Dongtian shouldn't have this level of swordsmanship.
It's not that Zhenwu Sword Intent is so profound. After all, the techniques he practices are all at the strongest level, so naturally he doesn't like Zhenwu Sword Technique.
Rather, the level of Zhenwu Sword Technique completely exceeds the level of skills that a force like Qingyun Dongtian can possess.
He was thinking, if it weren't for the special way of practicing the Zhenwu Sword Art, which is not suitable for most people to practice, someone might have already coveted this sword art.
"The Zhenwu Sword Technique should be the strongest method among the five Qingyun lineages. Unfortunately, the Zhenwu lineage's status in Qingyun seems to be at the bottom..."
When the leader of Benlei Peak and the leader of Zhenwu Peak had a verbal argument, Jun Wuxie observed the expressions of the other leaders, and it seemed that they also had prejudices against the Zhenwu Peak lineage, but they just didn't say it out loud.
The same goes for Qingyun's headmaster. Otherwise, he should have stopped Na Benlei Peak when he didn't say the first sentence. Why would he be allowed to say the second sentence? Those words are hurtful every word, and every word hurts the heart.
