Chapter 872
In the passage of the world, dazzling brilliance flashed continuously.
Xiao Zhan stood motionless at a three-way intersection in the space-time passage.
To the left is the entrance to the underworld.
To the right, it leads to the world of all races.
As for the passage going forward, Xiao Zhan had never been there once.
He didn't know which world this fork led to.
For tens of thousands of years, he has traveled back and forth between the Netherworld and the World of Ten Thousand Races countless times. Every time he passes by here, he always has the urge to go and see it.
Over the past ten thousand years, he has been with Ye Wei, Xiao Tianxia and Xiao Yao.
Now the Xiao family has many heirs.
Xiao Tianxia serves as the world leader of the Netherworld.
Xiao Yao serves as the world leader of all races.
Ye Wei spends almost all her time taking care of her children.
Xiao Zhan became the most leisurely person.
For more than ten thousand years, his face has not changed at all.
But his family is getting older.
Even if Ye Wei, Xiao Yao and Xiao Tianxia are already strong men at the level of world lords, they still cannot escape the erosion of time.
Only Xiao Zhan has not changed at all compared to ten thousand years ago.
As for those good friends from back then, they have also passed away one after another.
Xiao Zhan felt that it was time for him to leave.
He didn't understand what was happening to him.
In short, because of his experiences over the years, he probably embarked on a path to immortality by accident.
Looking at the passage in front of him, Xiao Zhan stepped out with a calm expression.
The next moment, the sky and the earth rotated, and the sun and the moon lost their light.
Today is the Yuanwu Continent’s triennial Festival.
No matter the court or the people, no matter the immortals or the common people, they all dress up and pray for a better year.
Pingle County is also a prosperous scene.
People were coming and going on the street, and everyone had a smile on their face.
There was only one man in a gray cloth robe, carrying a wine gourd, walking among the crowd, with no sadness or joy on his face.
On such a grand festival, the man's calm expression attracted the attention of many people.
However, his eyes seemed extremely deep and quiet, as if they had seen the pain and joy of the incident.
He walked into the Caiyuan Tavern, threw the wine gourd in his hand at the waiter, and said casually:
"Old rules, get drunk and get drunk."
The guy smiled and nodded, "Okay, please wait a moment."
Not long after, the gourd filled with wine was delivered to the man.
The guy reminded:
"Sir, the wine money you saved has just been spent."
"Want to save some money?"
The man shook his head.
"After drinking this gourd of wine, it's time for me to leave this Pingle City."
The waiter was stunned for a moment, then quickly turned around, wrapped half a roast chicken in oil paper and handed it to the man:
"Sir has been drinking in our pub for three years. If we say goodbye today, I'm afraid it will be difficult to meet him again."
The man took the oiled paper bag, took out the last piece of broken silver from his arms and threw it into the boy's arms.
Everything is just right.
The waiter wanted to refuse, but when he saw the man's eyes, he couldn't say "reject".
In the end, the waiter could only clasp his fists and bow, and asked softly:
"Where are you going, Master?"
The man turned his head and looked at the only visible peak on the horizon, and slowly spoke:
"Everywhere you can see, you have to see everything you can't see."
The guy didn't understand what he said and could only smile and nod.
In the end, I could only say, "Master, go slowly and come back when the time comes."
The man said "Yes", holding the wine gourd, and walked slowly towards the city gate step by step.
Everyone else was going to the city, but he was the only one who went in the opposite direction.
He is none other than Xiao Zhan.
It has been more than three years since I came to Yuanwu World.
He hasn't regained half of his strength yet, and he's in no rush to do so.
In the past three years, Xiao Zhan has clearly understood the basic situation of the entire Yuanwu world.
This is a world many times larger than the Nether World and the World of Ten Thousand Races.
At the same time, this is also a world of cultivating immortals.
Yuanli is the energy support of this world.
The area he is currently in is the Haoyang Empire.
However, although the Haoyang Empire is the controller of this area, there is a more powerful force behind it.
Over there is the Xiuyuan Sect, known as the Protector of the Country.
Xiuyuan Sect, the largest immortal cultivating force in the Haoyang Empire.
Today happens to be the time for Xiuyuan Sect to recruit new disciples.
Xiuyuan Sect recruits new disciples every three years.
When Xiao Zhan came to the Yuanwu world three years ago, he happened to catch up with the Xiuyuan Sect to recruit disciples.
Xiuyuan Sect has many elders and disciples.
In addition to the main peak Xiuyuan Peak, there are ten other peaks. .
Xiao Zhan joined the Tenth Peak three years ago.
In addition, the nine peaks are all full of masters, and the peak masters and elders are all famous figures.
Only at the Tenth Peak, generations of peak masters have been useless in cultivation.
Therefore, on the day Xiao Zhan paid homage to the Tenth Peak, the peak master passed away on the spot.
He, a disciple who had just entered the Tenth Peak, had become the Peak Master of the Tenth Peak.
Who made him the only disciple of the Tenth Peak?
The Tenth Peak has always been a single lineage.
To say why Xiuyuan Sect allowed the decline of the Tenth Peak, it has a long history.
When the Xiuyuan Sect was founded, the leader of the Tenth Peak was the strongest person in the entire Xiuyuan Sect besides the sect leader.
It's a pity that people in the Tenth Peak don't like to accept disciples, so from generation to generation, they gradually declined.
The strength of the peak master is getting worse and worse, and the number of disciples willing to join the tenth peak is also getting worse and worse.
Over time, the Tenth Peak slowly stopped recruiting disciples. The previous peak masters only accepted one successor before their birthdays were approaching, and then passed on the position of peak master.
In addition, the energy of the Tenth Peak is not strong enough, and no one is willing to take over the Tenth Peak.
Therefore, Xiao Zhan, the peak master of the tenth peak, is known to few people in the Xiuyuan Sect and few people take him seriously.
Today, it’s time for Xiuyuan Sect to recruit disciples again.
The place where disciples are recruited is a high mountain within the territory of Xiuyuan Sect, called Juying Mountain.
At this time every three years, young people from all over the Haoyang Empire would gather here, hoping to join the Xiuyuan Sect and embark on the path to immortality.
And the method of cultivation is also widely spread among the people.
Therefore, some of the young people who came to participate in the selection were already strong enough.
At this time, tens of thousands of boys and girls had gathered at the foot of Juying Mountain.
Among them are many young masters from aristocratic families, heirs of the imperial dynasty, and many geniuses sent by other sects.
Yes, even the geniuses from other sects want to join the Xiuyuan Sect.
At this time, the tens of thousands of people present, no matter who they were, kept quiet and did not dare to make any noise.
The disciples of the Xiuyuan Sect who maintain order around you don't care what your identity is. As long as you are not a disciple of the Xiuyuan Sect, then you have no face at all.
An old woman stood in mid-air at this moment. When she spoke slowly, her voice echoed throughout the valley.
"Now let's do the spiritual root test."
Following the old woman's order, tens of thousands of boys and girls present began to line up like a long queue to undergo spiritual root tests one by one.
As long as you have inspiration, you can step into the path of cultivation.
Even low-grade spiritual roots can enter other sects.
But if you want to join the Xiuyuan Sect, you must have at least a middle-grade spiritual root.
I don’t know how many people are disappointed just by this requirement.
.
An hour passed.
Among the tens of thousands of boys and girls, only about 20,000 have passed the test and have medium-grade spiritual roots, which is less than one-third.
Those who fail are not even qualified to stay here to watch, and will leave on the spot.
The rest of the people were full of joy.
Among them, there are many people who are extremely confident.
Most people became even more nervous.
Because the spiritual root test is just the most basic requirement.
Because the Yuanli in the Yuanwu world has different attributes.
Metallic properties, wood properties, water properties, fire properties, earth properties, and some derived properties, such as wind properties, thunder properties, ice properties...
Therefore, the techniques in the Yuanwu world naturally have different attributes.
The so-called spiritual root is actually a kind of affinity.
If a person's body has an affinity with the elemental force of a certain attribute, he can absorb the elemental force of the corresponding attribute and practice exercises with the same or similar attributes.
According to different affinities, spiritual roots are divided into five levels: low-grade, medium-grade, top-grade, top-grade and holy-grade.
There is no doubt that the higher the level of the spiritual root, the higher the affinity and compatibility with Yuanli, which naturally results in twice the result with half the effort.
Therefore, the level of spiritual roots almost determines how far a person can go on the path of cultivation.
Moreover, the level of spiritual roots is determined at birth.
Although there are some methods in legends to cleanse marrow and bones and improve the level of spiritual roots, they only exist in legends.
At least Xiuyuan Sect doesn't have such a heaven-defying method.
