Chapter 1296 Palace Selection Ceremony
In the closed stone chamber, two figures sat quietly, it was Ling Shi and Cheng Zhaoxue who had gone through nine reincarnations.
It stands to reason that the end of the ninth reincarnation means that they have passed the test of the Spiritual Demon Palace. However, there is no exit from this closed stone room, and they are not in a hurry to leave.
After nine reincarnations, majestic memory fragments came one after another, irritating their minds, and they needed time to digest them.
"Senior brother... Young Master... Brother Kai... Husband... Little beggar... Young Master... Brother Feng..."
Cheng Zhaoxue's face turned red and white, and accidentally, her mind fell into the whirlpool of memories of nine reincarnations, and she started talking nonsense.
Ling Shi's whole body was shaken, and he shouted: "Xue'er, cheer up, those are all illusions!"
"Illusion? No... that's true... you're lying... I know, I know everything!" Cheng Zhaoxue's eyes were wide open, with tears on his face, and he murmured in his mouth, as if he wanted to escape from that endless He struggled to free himself from the memory fragments, but it was in vain.
Her mind was trapped in the memories of nine reincarnations, and she couldn't tell whether those memories were fiction or reality.
"Xue'er, don't forget who you are now. You are Cheng Zhaoxue now. You must force yourself to calm down!" Ling Shi warned sternly, hoping that she would listen to his words.
However, Cheng Zhaoxue turned a deaf ear and was still immersed in boundless grief, crying: "Why...why do you do this to me...why?"
"No! No! Senior brother, help me! Brother Kai, my poor brother Kai! Little beggar, with me by your side, you won't be alone anymore. Ah! Brother Feng!"
Cheng Zhaoxue beat her head hard, and her consciousness was gradually submerged in the huge flood of memories.
"Xue'er, calm down!"
Ling Shi was actually not having a hard time, but along the way, he had experienced too much, and his character had been tempered to be extremely solid. Seeing Cheng Zhaoxue in crisis, he used great perseverance to suppress the memory of the nine reincarnations, and rushed to He went over to hug her and shouted in a low voice. Read the book
"My head hurts! It hurts so much!"
Cheng Zhaoxue's eyes were confused. She was no longer able to suppress the raging of huge memories. If this continued, her consciousness would definitely be swallowed up and she would become a walking corpse.
Ling Shi almost didn't hesitate, lowered his head and kissed her.
Cheng Zhaoxue struggled subconsciously, but a clear current slowly rippled in her heart, and she finally calmed down.
"Brother Ling, thank you!"
After a long time, Cheng Zhaoxue's face turned red. She glanced at Ling Shi gratefully. If he hadn't rescued her in time, she might have... However, such close contact was the first time she had ever experienced such a close contact. It was so embarrassing for a girl like her!
"There should be a teleportation array here. Don't worry. Let's take advantage of this time to slowly digest the memories brought about by reincarnation." Ling Shi quickly changed the topic.
"Yeah." Cheng Zhaoxue responded.
The two continued to sit quietly, carefully sorting out the memories brought about by the nine reincarnations.
This is the benefit that the Spirit Demon Palace gives to those who enter the barrier. As long as they persevere, these insights will benefit them throughout their lives.
A long time passed, but no teleportation array appeared in this closed stone chamber.
Ling Shi was not in a hurry, paying attention to Cheng Zhaoxue while digesting the huge memory.
Seeing that Cheng Zhaoxue never appeared in the same state again, he felt relieved.
After a long time, they felt an extremely terrifying force coming. Before they could make any move, their figures appeared in another place.
…
This is a huge circular square with high walls surrounding it. Directly in front of it, there are four gates, but these four gates are all closed.
In front of the four gates, a teleportation array was running slowly. From time to time, people entered and left the square.
Tens of thousands of monks gathered in the square.
These monks are the passers-by who have successfully passed the test of the Spirit Demon Palace.
And leave through the teleportation array
People who are eliminated are naturally losers.
The palace entrance event was attended by nearly 100,000 people. At this time, there were only about 10,000 people in the square, and almost 90% of them were eliminated. This shows how difficult the nine levels are.
Ling Shi and Cheng Zhaoxue were not the last ones to pass the level. They teleported out and landed in the center of the square, which meant that they successfully passed the test of the Spirit Demon Palace.
But, they didn't appear in the same place.
The people around them didn't care about their appearance. They didn't even blink an eyelid. They sat cross-legged and meditated, waiting for the palace selection ceremony. More people were still digesting the huge news brought by the nine reincarnations. Memories and perceptions.
There were so many people, and there seemed to be suppression of spiritual consciousness here. Cheng Zhaoxue couldn't find out where his brother was at all, and she didn't know whether he succeeded or failed.
A few days later, the teleportation array no longer operated, which meant that the palace entrance event entered the next stage.
On the top floor of the Spirit Demon Palace, all the mirrors have been put away by Feng Hanshuang, indicating that everyone has finished breaking through.
She waved her delicate hand, and the ripples spread in front of her, and a picture appeared, which was the huge square.
Feng Hanshuang didn't need to show up, she could still see everything through unnatural means.
To the north of the square, that is, in the direction of the four gates, above the high wall and at the front, there are two empty seats, which are reserved for the two palace masters of the Spirit Demon Palace. Although the two palace masters have never appeared on this occasion, But the four masters of the Spiritual Demon Palace did not dare to be careless in the slightest.
From there, there are the seats of the four hall masters, then the eighteen hall masters, and finally the elders.
The other three directions were deserted.
"Congratulations on joining the Spirit Demon Palace! The palace selection ceremony has officially begun!"
One of the twelve Spirit Demon Palace deacons in front stepped out and spoke loudly.
In the square, tens of thousands of people stood up and stood in awe.
The deacon continued: "Before the palace master gives the three rankings, I would like to say a few more words."
"First, regarding the three rankings, they are the Heaven's Ranking, the Earth's Ranking and the People's Ranking. Based on your success in passing the level, there will be a comprehensive score. The top 100 with higher scores will be selected, and the top ten will be included in the Heaven's Ranking. The next thirty will be included in the local list, and the last sixty will be included in the human list. Only those on the list are qualified to choose the palace independently, and the remaining people will be selected by the four palaces."
"Secondly, let me talk about the four palaces. The Lin, Fire, Mountain, and Wind Palaces each have a special skill. Non-disciples of this palace cannot learn it. Among them, the Lin Palace's special skill focuses on healing, the Fire Palace's special skill focuses on attack, and the Mountain Palace's special skill focuses on attack. The emphasis is on defense, and the Wind Palace's stunts are on speed. Of course, only those on the third list are eligible to choose freely, but others don't have to despair. The Spirit Demon Palace stipulates that as long as you have the ability, it is not enough to learn all four stunts. It's impossible, but if you want to be qualified to learn the special skills of other halls, you have to defeat the three golden guards in this hall, and it's one against three. The so-called golden guards are the best in each hall. If you want to defeat For them, it is very difficult, but not completely impossible. This has happened from time to time in the past thousand years."
The deacon was obviously not a talker. After saying these two points, he stopped talking.
But when I saw him turning around and bowing to the two empty seats above me, he said respectfully: "I respectfully ask the Palace Master to give me the three rankings!"
Generally speaking, under the master of the Spirit Demon Palace, there are hall masters, elders and deacons in each hall. However, although the so-called eighteen halls are not as limited as the four hall masters, they are not directly under their jurisdiction. , especially the Presbyterian Council, which is an even more special existence. Of course, the members of the Presbyterian Council are also selected from the four halls. Even the four hall masters and the eighteen hall masters are also members of the Presbyterian Council. As for the deacons, they are generally responsible for a certain hall master, but the twelve deacons on the square are different. They have a more special status and can be said to be the ones who speak to the palace master.
This deacon is obviously very familiar with the process of the palace selection ceremony. He doesn't know how the palace master performs the scoring. It's just his duty.
"knew."
A voice resounded, floating and felt very far away, but everyone could hear it clearly.
The deacon stopped speaking and waited quietly.
After a while, the sky above the square began to fluctuate, and then, the three lists were like curtains
Generally exposed.
Almost everyone's eyes are on the three lists.
Ling Shi quickly glanced at the sky list and was surprised to find that Lingshen was ranked tenth. Then, he found his name at the eighteenth place on the earth list, and found Cheng Zhaoxue's name at the last place. He quickly glanced at the list of people and couldn't find Cheng Yao's name.
Cheng Zhaoxue started looking at the list of people. She naturally hoped that she could be on the list, and she even hoped that her brother would be on the list, but she was still disappointed in the end. She knew that she was able to enter the list because of Ling Shi's credit. , without Ling Shi, he might have lost his way in the seventh level, let alone wanted to give up several times in the eighth level.
"Everyone, please remember your ranking. Later, the selection of the palace will start from the human list, then to the earth list, and finally to the heaven list, in order."
The deacon reminded them, and then turned his attention to the four palace masters. Every time at this time, the four palaces would throw out some temptations, just to attract more outstanding people to join their palace.
In the stands, Lin Qu, Huo Lao and Tieshan had no intention of speaking, because at this time Rufeng was closing her eyes and concentrating. It seemed that she was receiving some information. Only the palace master could do this to her. Naturally, they didn't dare to disturb him at will.
After a while, Rufeng opened his eyes and said slowly: "The Palace Master has ordered that they should be free to choose the palace this time. There should be no deliberate guidance in the four palaces. Everything else remains as usual."
Do not guide deliberately! The palace owner said it very politely.
In normal times, especially for people on the Tianbang, which palace has not tried every means to induce them to join with various benefits?
In the past, the palace master had never interfered.
However, since the palace master has given this order, the four palace masters can only do it.
Fortunately, everything else remained as usual, which meant that the palace master did not want to deprive them of their preferences.
The hobby of the four hall masters, the eighteen hall masters and the elders of the Spirit Demon Palace is nothing more than gambling.
The difference is that the four hall masters are betting on their heads, but the eighteen hall masters and the elders are betting on real money and silver. The so-called real money and silver are naturally crystal stones.
The so-called head bet is a bet on the person who chooses the palace. The bet is the number of subsequent disciples. Whichever palace wins more will be able to accept more disciples.
In terms of the number of disciples alone, Fire Palace has always been far ahead of the other three palaces. The most pitiful one is Lin Palace. At every palace entrance event, very few people among the three rankings choose to join Lin Palace. This is different from Lin Palace. Lin Dian's unique skills are not unrelated.
Fire Palace's special skill is mainly about attack, so it has naturally become the first choice for those on the third list. If it weren't for Lin Qu's unique vision, and he won more and lost less among the prisoners, Lin Dian might have been even more pitiful.
After Rufeng passed the palace master's instructions to the hall masters and elders behind him, the first big gamble began.
The difference from the past is that there is one missing step and no one is counting on it. This bet has turned into a bet on luck.
However, in view of past experience, many people are still optimistic that the first person on the list will choose the Fire Palace, so the odds of the Fire Palace are extremely low. On the other hand, the bookmaker even offered an odds of 100 for Lin Palace, but still no one went Alin Temple.
There is no odds in the head betting method of the four palace masters. As long as they bet correctly, the amount they bet will be theirs.
In this first bet on heads, the four palace masters were trying their best, and all of them bet one thousand on the Fire Palace.
"Let's get started!"
When Rufeng spoke loudly, she was naturally talking to the deacon in the square.
The deacon was startled. Isn't this a little different from before?
After thinking about it, he did not hesitate and immediately announced: "The palace selection has officially begun. The four gates from left to right correspond to the Lin Palace, the Fire Palace, the Mountain Palace and the Wind Palace. Once you have decided, just enter the corresponding portal!"
"Mountain Eagle!"
Before the deacon finished speaking, the four doors slowly opened, and he immediately read another name.
Mountain Eagle is the name of the first person on the list.
