A dreamless night.
Lu Ran didn't think he had slept for long before he was woken up by a rapid knock on the door.
When he went to open the door sleepily, he saw Shinan and several senior sisters, who had changed from their usual cordiality and were guarding the door in full gear.
In the original words of Insight Tianjun, Lu Ran is now an important asset of our cave. We must protect him and escort him to the 88th floor. We must confirm that he has participated in the audition for the Huantian Dajiao.
The sisters then dragged, pulled and coaxed Lu Ran to finish washing and dressing him up neatly, and even put on a new set of clothes.
"Well, this way you won't be able to tell that it's someone from my cave." Shinan made one last inspection and said to Lu Ran with great satisfaction.
"Ah? What does this mean?" Lu Ran looked at the clothes he was wearing. It seemed a little too ordinary and plain.
"Master said that you cannot wear Ku Ling Dong's Taoist uniform to participate in the Huantian Festival."
"What? Are you afraid that I will lose your people?"
"No, it's for confidentiality and to better protect you." Shinan pointed at Lu Ran's chest.
"Furthermore, there are regulations for the Huantian Grand Jiao. People who have already worshiped the second or third generation disciples of our sect as their teachers are not eligible to participate." Another senior sister named Dong He also immediately added.
"Oh, that's okay." Lu Ran really didn't care, so like a prisoner being escorted to the execution ground, he took a ride on an exquisite machine elevator while his sisters chatted more and more in the morning. All the way up to the eighty-eighth floor without stopping.
On the eighty-eighth floor, as soon as the elevator door opened, two little boys came to guide the way. There were also two passages in front of them, one was for "competitors" and the other was for "spectators and VIPs from the church."
The sisters said goodbye to Lu Ran at the door, and they all said a few words of encouragement. One sister who was not familiar with him but had a bold style even gave him a passionate kiss.
It was this kiss that completely woke Lu Ran up. Suddenly, he realized that he had entered another duel, and it was said that this one was far more intense than that.
He is still pushed forward by his fate, but this time, although he has lost Qingwu and lacks some confidence, because this is the path he has chosen, he is much calmer and more at ease.
As the little boy in a blue shirt with a blue crown and wings on his back walked about a hundred steps forward, turned to the right, and suddenly the light suddenly opened up in front of Lu Ran.
In front of him was an indescribably gorgeous stage.
From the huge and magnificent screen in the center of the stage with constantly changing images in the distance, to the eight giant golden lamps with the symbol of the Huanjiao "Eight Elements Returning to One" at the top, to the intricate layers of the carpet at the feet nearby, which are as if you are stepping on them. The carpet in the illusion and the neatly arranged black gold seats in front of them like a military formation all demonstrate the strength of the Immortal Cult that dominates half of the continent.
Of course, this scene was already a sea of people and monsters. Under the guidance of many blue-shirted people from our religion, various matters were carried out in an orderly manner.
Lu Ran thought that he might have to fight with these people on this stage in the future and look ugly, his head was buzzing, and the fire in his chest was a little panicked.
The little boy in front turned back and smiled at Lu Ran, pointing forward with a small lantern in his hand, "This contestant, please go to window four to sign up."
Lu Ran took a look and saw that window number four was already crowded, and when he looked again, he saw that there were even more people at the other seven windows.
"Can I change the window?" Lu Ran was born in "Haizi", so he naturally understands that a good start is all about starting a career, and these four words are not very auspicious.
The little boy smiled mysteriously and stretched out a tender white hand.
Lu Ran immediately understood and stepped forward to hold the little hand.
The little boy's face changed greatly, and he immediately pulled his hand away, his little eyes widened, "You don't understand the rules, do you? A person like you who has no clan, no family, no spiritual roots, and even looks so ugly, can only We’re going to window number four, go quickly, don’t delay my work!”
Lu Ran expressed his confusion, and then a slender hand stretched out from behind him and stuffed a few money-like things into the little boy's hands.
"Don't be angry, fairy boy. They are all serving our religion!"
"Yeah, that's right. Immortal official, please go and wait at window No. 1." After the little boy smiled broadly, he glanced at Lu Ran from the corner of his eye and immediately changed his face: "Hurry up. Click, window number four, go quickly! Don’t block the way of the immortal officials behind!"
Lu Ran looked back and saw a young man who looked like a young man, with a somewhat condescending smile on his face, and smiled at Lu Ran.
Lu Ran curled his lips and touched his arms, thinking that I don't have any good things, but I will never take advantage of a villain like this who asks for bribes. Number four will be number four.
Lu Ran patted his butt, meaning that I am a poor man, I will give you a piece of shit, and I will leave.
Sure enough, while waiting in line, another little boy came rolling over and handed him a number plate.
Lu Ran took a look, good guy, number 444.
"Every Immortal Official, please take it. This number plate is your only identification for the competition. It must not be exchanged or discarded, nor can it be handed over to others. Once discovered, you will be immediately disqualified and sent to Jueying Island to the prison!"
The little boy looked exactly like the one just now, but he was definitely not the same one. When he said these words, his eyes were as sharp as knives, but he only stared at Lu Ran.
Lu Ran held the "444" number plate above his head, like a crown, and made a fierce face at the boy.
Then his position was inexplicably moved back fifty places.
By this time, Lu Ran had already understood that he was out of luck in this great ceremony, and he would probably be finished in the first round.
Forget it, let’s go through the motions and make plans later.
After finally getting through to the window reception, the little boy with the same appearance was sitting inside. When he saw it was Lu Ran, his face immediately dropped. He handed over a piece of crumpled paper and a charcoal pen, and said: "Fill it out carefully, stuff it into the mailbox next to it, and then go inside. Don't miss anything, and don't fill in false information. Once you find out..."
"You will be disqualified immediately and sent to Jueyingdao to prison, right?" Lu Ran finished the sentence for him first.
The little boy's face was wrinkled into a piece of tissue paper with anger.
Lu Ran sneered, came to the side with a pen and paper, and took a closer look. It turned out to be a form.
The form was very simple. It was just some routine life experience investigation. Lu Ran filled it out one by one. The only empty column was the name column. He thought that his name might be a bit too public, and he was afraid of being targeted. He also thought about it. As the organizer, there was no need to take it too seriously. Lu Ran thought about it again and again, and filled out the form at the last moment to complete the registration for the Great Jiao.
The name Lu Ran filled in on the form was Ran Lu.
