Chapter 1275 Encounter
The Spiritual Demon Palace is divided into a city and a palace. The area of the city is so large that even the powerful spiritual consciousness of a strong person in the Divination Realm cannot cover one-tenth of it.
Spirit Demon City is divided into four districts, with four gates, each under the jurisdiction of the four halls. The city is full of flowers and vibrant, and almost all businesses in the Western Spirit Realm can be seen here.
But the real Spirit Demon Palace is like an inverted giant bowl, covering an extremely wide area. It is so high that it reaches straight into the sea of clouds, making it difficult to reach its end.
This is the real core of the Spirit Demon Palace.
There is only one entrance to the Spirit Demon Palace, and non-Ling Demon Palace disciples are prohibited from entering. Only at the palace entrance event held every thirty years, this ban will be temporarily lifted, allowing the world to finally see the splendor of the Spirit Demon Palace and be deeply shocked.
There is no set number for the duration of the palace-entering event that takes place once every thirty years. It will only end when the last winner or loser appears.
Only those who have experienced it can know how difficult it is to pass the palace entrance ceremony. Even those who successfully pass the test will usually not say a word about it afterwards. It is really a painful memory.
However, among the nine levels, from the first to the ninth, the tests will not endanger your life. They mainly depend on whether you can persevere. Various tests, such as patience, perseverance, courage, etc., vary. And enough.
One month before the official start of the palace entrance event, those who participate can enter the Spiritual Demon Palace.
There is a large area in the Spirit Demon Palace specially designated for this grand event. Of course, except for this area, other places cannot move around at will.
Calculating the time, there are still seven days before the palace entrance ceremony officially begins. Most people have entered the Spirit Demon Palace and rest peacefully in order to make a splash. There are also a few people who are not in a hurry and wander around the Spirit Demon City to relax and experience the Spirit Demon City. of prosperity and liveliness.
Not far from the gate of the Spirit Demon Palace, there is an unknown restaurant. Although it only has two floors, the first floor is spacious and bright, and it is also full of seats at this time.
In a corner on the second floor, Ling Shi was devouring food.
He did not order those wines and meats containing spiritual energy, but some ordinary dishes.
He was really hungry.
He hadn't eaten anything since entering the dense forest.
For a Nascent Soul Realm powerhouse, even if he cannot truly live without food, even if he does not eat or drink for several months, it will not have much impact. However, the dense forest is so big that Ling Shi cannot even estimate how long it took him. Get to that teleport pad.
However, this teleportation platform did not disappoint him and teleported him directly to the gate of the Spirit Demon Palace.
He didn't know if the grand entrance ceremony had already begun, but he had already arrived here, so he was not in a hurry. When he saw this restaurant, he couldn't help but go in and fill his stomach first. He needed to regain some strength, so he Thinking of getting some information.
The waiters in the restaurant were very enthusiastic and did not show any impatience because many customers were being asked by Ling Shi. Instead, they answered his questions seriously.
Ling Shi actually didn't ask much.
Only then did he know that there were still a few days before the formal ceremony of entering the palace would officially begin, so he felt free to enjoy the delicious food.
The table next door was a little noisy, and I heard their conversation. They were a brother and sister.
Ling Shi ignored it, but their quarrel still fell into his ears.
My sister pouted and said, "Brother, if you don't participate, then I won't participate either!"
The elder brother quickly said: "No, this is the clan leader's order, you have to obey it."
My sister said, "You promised to accompany me when we came out."
Brother said: "Grandpa Huo asked you to attend this palace entrance event. That's because he believes that you can pass the test. In addition, you have entered the golden elixir stage, so you have greater confidence, and I... I am only at the Nascent Soul stage. , even if you participate, you are just humiliating yourself."
The younger sister said displeased: "What's wrong with the Nascent Soul Realm? The test is not designed for strength, it's just two more levels. I believe my brother can pass it. Grandpa Huo loves us so much, don't you want to repay him?"
Brother said: "I know, I also thought that only by joining the Fire Palace and working diligently from now on can I repay Grandpa Huo's kindness, but..."
My sister said, "Isn't this right? Don't worry about it. Let's work hard together."
"me……"
At this time, the previous waiter came over, stood between the two tables, and said in a good voice: "Three guests, there are too many guests today, I'm sorry, can the three of you share a table?"
"Okay, okay." The elder brother looked honest and honest and said hurriedly.
The younger sister was in a bad mood, but seeing her brother speak, she couldn't say no.
Ling Shi had actually had enough food and wine, so it was okay to leave just now. But the waiter had just answered many of his questions so enthusiastically. At this time, he paid and left, as if he was saying that he didn't bother to share a table with the brother and sister, and he also left. For the sake of the waiter’s face, he had no choice but to move over with the bottle in hand.
The waiter thanked him, gave Ling Shi some wine and appetizers, then excused himself and went about his business.
"Brothers are also here to attend the palace entrance ceremony?" The atmosphere was a bit awkward. Ling Shi planned to sit for a while and then leave. Unexpectedly, the elder brother among the siblings spoke first.
"Yes, so are you, right?" Ling Shi was embarrassed not to answer.
"Brother, are you in the Nascent Soul realm?"
Ling Shi nodded, he did not hide his cultivation at this time.
"I'm Cheng Yao, this is my sister Cheng Zhaoxue. We come from the Fire Realm. May I ask, brother..."
"Southern Territory."
Ling Shi replied calmly. According to his guess, the fire domain mentioned by the other party should be the place under the jurisdiction of the Fire Palace of the Spiritual Demon Palace.
Cheng Zhaoxue was originally a little dissatisfied with her brother Cheng Yao, who was so familiar with him and told a stranger his details, but when he heard that Ling Shi came from the Southern Region and was in the Nascent Soul realm, he couldn't help but be curious. She has never been out of the Fire Domain, and has never experienced fighting or killing, but she also knows that the North and South Domains are the hunting grounds of the Spirit Sect and the Demon Sect. In such a place, there are such powerful people, and judging from her age, she seems to be older than I am not that much older, so I think the origin of the other party must be unusual.
She wanted to ask some questions, but as a girl, she couldn't be so straightforward.
Cheng Yao immediately asked the question she wanted to ask.
"The spirit sect and the demon sect are fighting endlessly in the southern region. It's not easy for our brothers to come this far."
"Yeah." Ling Shi didn't want to say more, but just nodded symbolically.
This answer obviously couldn't satisfy Cheng Zhaoxue's curiosity. After thinking about it, she asked another question first.
"Big brother, what should we call you?"
"Ling Shi."
"Brother Ling, have you just arrived here?"
"Um."
"Isn't there a flying boat from the Spirit Demon Palace to pick you up? Why..."
"Something happened and I didn't catch up."
Cheng Zhaoxue was shocked. She just asked casually, but after learning that Ling Shi had indeed just arrived, she was shocked. The other party did not take the flying boat, but he could arrive in time. This shows that the other party has a flying type that is stronger than the Spirit Demon Palace flying boat. Magic weapon, no wonder he was able to cultivate to such a high level in an environment like the Southern Territory. .
"Brother Ling, do you know how the palace entrance ceremony is tested?"
Ling Shi shook his head.
"Brother Ling has just arrived, so it's reasonable to be unclear. In fact, the rules this time were already announced ten days ago."
"Miss Chen, can you tell me something?" Ling Shi suddenly became interested.
Cheng Zhaoxue smiled and said: "This is not a secret. I can naturally tell Brother Ling about it. In fact, similar to the past, the test is still divided by realm. Those below the Foundation Establishment Realm must start from the first level to reach the Foundation Establishment Realm. You can skip the first two levels. You only need to start from the fifth level to pass the Golden Core Realm. The difference is that this time there are more settings for the Nascent Soul Realm and the Out of Body Realm. A Nascent Soul Realm like Brother Ling only needs to start from the fifth level. It’s enough to clear the last three levels, but in the out-of-body realm, you don’t need to go through the level, you can directly choose the four halls to join. As for what kind of test is in the nine levels, maybe only those who have participated will know, anyway, I I don’t know, does Brother Ling know?”
"I don't know much."
"Brother Ling really knows?" Cheng Zhaoxue said casually
When I asked, I didn't expect that the other party actually had news in this regard, and I couldn't help but said excitedly.
Ling Shi said slowly: "I really don't know the first four levels..."
He glanced at Cheng Yao intentionally or unintentionally. Chen Yao was in the foundation-building realm and had to start from the third level. If he knew, he would not be stingy, but he really didn't know. When they arrived at the teleportation platform, Hong Yi only told him the content of the seventh level test before returning to the Black Demon Sword. After Ling Shi asked again and again, she reluctantly told him the content of the fifth and sixth level tests. But the last two levels are not a matter of life and death. She obviously knew, but there was nothing she could do without telling Ling Shi.
Looking at Cheng Zhaoxue again, Ling Shi continued: "The fifth level is a test of patience. There is a huge maze inside. As long as you get out of the maze, you will be successful. It requires enough patience and some luck."
"The sixth level is for climbing the cloud platform. I only know that this level is a test of the perseverance of the person who completes the level. I don't know the specific details. However, as the name suggests, you must successfully reach the top to pass this level. "
"The seventh level is a dark world. As long as you can get out of this darkness, you will pass this level."
"I don't know about the other two levels."
"The eighth level, life and death chart..."
Although Ling Shi only said three things, Cheng Zhaoxue was very grateful. Just as he was about to thank him, a voice rang out and a man walked towards them.
All three of them looked up.
But seeing him, his age and body shape were somewhat similar to Ling Shi's. He was handsome and elegant, and his clothes were not very flashy, but they couldn't cover up his noble temperament.
Cheng Zhaoxue's beautiful face couldn't help but blush slightly.
"Unfortunately, there are no empty seats. My three fellow Taoists, could you please sit down?"
"Please." Ling Shi glanced at the Cheng brothers and sisters. He didn't refuse, and he couldn't refuse either.
The visitor sat down and said loudly: "First of all, let me introduce myself. I am Lingshen. I am a disciple of the outer sect of Lingmo Palace. What do you call these three fellow Taoists?"
Cheng Yao introduced him one by one.
"Brother Lingshen, do you know the eighth level?" Cheng Zhaoxue asked impatiently.
Lingshen sighed: "Thirty years ago, I was just a qigong practitioner. I didn't want to miss the grand gathering, so I participated in it somehow. What Brother Ling said before was not a lie. That time, I was the one who This is the eighth level..."
"Brother Lingshen, you mean that you made it from the first level all the way to the eighth level with your cultivation as a Qi Master..." Cheng Zhaoxue said.
Lingshen nodded: "This is not something to be proud of. It's a pity that it failed in the end."
Cheng Zhaoxue looked at Cheng Yao as if to say: "Look, even the Qi Master can reach this point, so what about the Foundation Establishment Realm? Maybe you're lucky and can pass the level directly!"
Cheng Yao understood what she meant and nodded towards her.
"Brother Lingshen, what kind of test is the life and death chart?" Ling Shi returned to the topic.
Lingshen explained: "The so-called life and death chart is a test of the courage of the challenger. On the life and death chart, the challenger will experience the constant transition between life and death. When you think about life, the life and death chart will crush your body and Will, when you think you are dead, the life and death chart will make you reborn again, and you will keep switching between life and death ninety-nine and eighty-one times. If you survive, you will pass."
When the three of them heard this, they gasped. They knew that their lives were not in danger, but they had to experience life and death clearly, and they had to repeat it ninety-nine and eighty-one times. This process must be very painful.
Lingshen continued: "At that time, I still lacked some courage, and I only withstood seventy life-and-death transitions before being defeated. Over the years, I have been practicing hard, not just to pass a few levels less, but to keep going. Hone your character in order to make a comeback. By the way, over the years, I have inquired a lot about it, and I have some understanding of this final level. I hit it off with the three of you, so I will tell you all about it!"
"Then thank you so much, Brother Lingshen." Cheng Zhaoxue thanked him sweetly.
Ling Shi also bowed his hand. He thought that such news must be very precious. The other party was so generous and he couldn't lose his courtesy.
"In the last step, I combined all the information and finally summarized it into four
In one word, it is the ninth reincarnation. "
