He Gu didn't know where he was, but from the name of this place, he knew that he was stepping on an island floating in a small space in the secret realm.
From time to time, other disciples teleported around and appeared. While these people were also attracted by the distant mountains, he quickly took out a black suit from his storage bag and put it on.
It may also be because he has enemies. Many Wu Zong disciples who plan to travel alone or in small groups will do this similarly, so his outfit does not seem too abrupt.
"Demon Suppressing Peak..." He Gu looked towards the center of the Demon Prisoner Island, clenched his fists, and showed a bit of heat in his eyes.
The Devil's Blood Pool is located on the Demon-Suppressing Peak, and the rules for grabbing seats in the Devil's Blood Pool are very simple. The first eight people can reach the top.
Of course, this process is not without difficulty.
According to his understanding, the Demon Suppressing Peak is the core of the suppression formation. Although the formation itself is aimed at demons, it will also have an impact on trialists like them.
The entire mountain peak is in a state of absorbing energy all year round to maintain the normal operation of the large array of offerings. The spiritual power in a cultivator is a type of energy, so the higher you go up, the more suppressed it becomes.
Climbing the mountain tests the cultivator's spiritual power and physical strength. Whoever climbs the mountain first will not have the advantage. If his own conditions are not met, he is doomed to have no chance even if no one comes to compete.
It is said that everyone competes together, but in fact only those disciples with sufficient ability need to compete with each other for the time difference to reach the peak.
He Gu's current strength in the Five Realms has qualified him to reach the top.
However, he had just reached the Five Realms, so he was at a certain disadvantage compared to other elite disciples.
"Jiang Lintian has already reached the Sixth Realm, and now he can still participate in the Demon Subduing Trial, which obviously means he has postponed his application for promotion to the sect's deacon..."
This postponement cannot be unlimited. Perhaps this is Jiang Lintian's last time to participate in the Demon Subduing Trial.
Putting aside his personal subjective feelings, to be honest, he still admired Jiang Lintian's cultivation talent.
He Gu pondered for a moment, and after deducting Jiang Lintian's quota, which was bound to be occupied, there were actually only seven spots up for grabs.
I have to say that comparing people to each other is a bit irritating.
He is not discouraged. In a sense, in addition to his own cultivation talent, he is also the one favored by God in other aspects.
Many disciples around him began to move, and he hurriedly recovered his thoughts. Take a deep breath and head towards the center of the island.
However, he did not rush directly to the Demon Suppressing Peak, but looked for elixirs along the way.
It is destined to be impossible to climb the Demon Suppressing Peak in normal times, even if it is as strong as Jiang Lintian. Climbing the peak is only possible when the gray fog on the Demon Prisoner Island is at its thinnest. At that time, the Demon Suppression Peak is at its weakest energy absorption stage.
The gray mist is actually the demonic energy. In other words, all you need to do is catch up in the next round when the demonic energy of Prisoner Island is at its weakest.
There is no change of day and night on the island, and the sky is gray with no stars. The brightness of the entire island comes from the magma flow on the Demon-Suppressing Peak in the center.
The only law of environmental change is the concentration of fog in the air, which cycles from peak to trough, just like the replacement of noon and midnight.
Of course, the time here has no connection with the outside world.
There will be signs of the weakening and increasing of fog concentration, which can be understood by careful observation with the naked eye.
After flying for a while, He Gu found that the fog density at this time was slowly increasing, which proved that time was moving towards "midnight".
Because of the influence of the great suppression formation, the demons would only come out and move when the concentration of gray fog reaches a certain level. Based on the surrounding situation, he estimated that the current time was equivalent to around dusk in the outside world.
There was still plenty of time, and if he went too early, he might run into someone from Wuqing Peak and cause trouble for him, so he was not in a hurry at this moment.
Now he plans to collect some magic medicine.
Because he was traveling alone, he had to find a safer place to hide when it was close to "midnight".
In order to minimize the influence from the Demon-Suppressing Peak, demons usually hide underground when sleeping, and the weaker the demon, the farther away from the central area of the Demon-Containing Island.
On the first night, he planned not to enter the central area to avoid the powerful demon who might awaken there.
…
In the square outside, a light screen was projected from the blue ice monument above the altar, showing a blood-red pool, which was the Devil's Blood Pool.
There are eight small jade bottles scattered and suspended above the Demonic Blood Pool. These are the temporary bonuses added by the Master of Wu Zong Peak just now. They were sent here through the special transmission channel by the Great Elder Wu Zong.
Some disciples who did not meet the requirements to participate in the trial gradually arrived outside the square. They were either watching the excitement or observing and learning in advance. They all looked at the projection light screen with interest.
Cultivators practice against the heavens, and live and die according to their destiny. As before, Wu Zong's senior officials did not send elders or deacons into the secret realm.
The purpose of the Demon Subduing Trial is to hone the disciples. They have tried to control the possible risks in the trial within a suitable range, and the rest can only rely on the disciples who participated in the trial themselves.
If one cannot survive such a trial environment, it will be even less possible for him to stand firm in a cruel ethnic war in the future.
The demons are about to make a move in the near future, and Wu Zong urgently needs more disciples to grow up in the short term to prevent the alien invasion that may break out at any time.
"How is the situation in the west? Have you found out their true purpose?" Wu Daozi looked back at the light curtain and asked leisurely, picking up the spiritual tea on the small table beside him.
The reason why the leader of Wu Zong temporarily left seclusion this time was not only because of the small bottleneck of seclusion, but also because of the backlog of messages sent by the great elder in recent times.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading!
Hearing this, the elegant Master Wuyu, who was shaking his fan, stopped smiling and his face became a little serious.
"Sect Master, although the infiltration operation of Tianji Pavilion and his party failed, the leader of Human Pavilion revealed before returning to the East Domain: The integration of the demon tribe this time did not go as smoothly as before, and it seems that there is a lack of backbone.
He speculated that something had happened to the new demon lord who had not appeared in nearly a hundred years, and the demon's actions this time were most likely related to this. "
"The old man remembers that the new Demon Lord's bone age is only less than two hundred years old. He has been hiding in the Western Demon Territory since he came to power. No one has ever seen him leave the Western Demon Territory. On the contrary, the Demon Clan's Great Elder nineteen years ago..."
Wu Daozi stopped talking until the end, but there was a faint glimmer in his cloudy old eyes.
Peak Master Liu Wuxin frowned and said softly: "Teacher, what do you mean...the recent commotion of the demon clan is directed at the imprisoned elder of the demon clan? In this case, wouldn't Zhonghuangzhou be very dangerous?"
Several other peak masters were thoughtful.
"I'm afraid their target is not aimed at Zhonghuangzhou..." Wu Daozi shook his head.
After a pause, he then calmly transmitted the order: "The deacon will stay, and all the elders will be dispersed to various parts of the sect, including the outer areas of the sect, and they will be secretly on guard."
Although the elders on both sides and behind him were puzzled, they did not ask any more questions. They vaguely understood what the sect leader meant and immediately followed the order.
They did not leave here together, but left one or two from time to time according to the sect leader's instructions, seemingly as if they were going to attend to their own affairs.
"Are you going to attack the east and attack the west..." Peak Master Wu Wu thought.
Wu Daozi did not accept these words, and his turbid old eyes looked back at the light curtain on the altar, but the faint light in his eyes seemed to be more condensed.
Thinking of the possible crisis, the ruthless Peak Master, whose eyes remained calm, suddenly asked calmly: "Do I need to call Junior Sister Leng out?"
Hearing this, Wu Daozi suppressed his thoughts and smiled kindly: "No need for the time being, she will come out on her own when the time comes."
Hearing this, the Qingqing Peak Master said no more.
Although Wu Daozi's sudden arrangement made the peak leaders present a lot more worried, there was one thing that they were surprisingly confident about.
No matter how arrogant the demons are, they cannot break into Wu Zong and cause trouble. No matter from any angle, such a move is extremely detrimental to the demons.
If a large sect like Wu Zong could be trampled on by the demon clan, the demon clan would have already dominated the world.
Peak Master Wu Wuxin looked at the light screen and changed the topic: "The cycle time of Demon Prisoner Island is different every time. I don't know how long it will take to reach 'noon' this time."
The face of Master Wuyu Peak returned to an elegant and gentle smile, and he shook his fan and replied: "In the past, it took about three to ten days. Judging from the changes in the demonic energy around the Demonic Blood Pool, it should not be less than seven days this time."
Ten days is nothing to a practitioner. As long as you practice with your eyes closed for a while, you can spend it with your eyes open. This is the same as when a mortal spends the night. When he is awake, the time feels very long. When he closes his eyes and falls asleep, it is daytime when he opens his eyes.
"Speaking of Junior Sister Leng, it seems that a male disciple from Wugou Peak is participating this time, right?" Master Wuyu Peak suddenly changed the topic.
The Bladeless Peak Master, who exuded sharp sword aura, rarely interjected, expressionless: "Five realms, suddenly very fast."
Among the several high-level officials here, the leader of Wuqing Peak was the first to know about He Gu's current level of cultivation. He had met He Gu when he visited Wugou Peak a few days ago.
However, he was not present when Jiang Ling made trouble at Wugou Peak last time, and why should he care about his current bone age? Although he is very good at cultivating to the Five Realms, it is not particularly outstanding in the eyes of a strong person like him. After all, there are many people in Qingwu Peak. Jiang Lintian as a reference.
He didn't really care.
Master Wuyu Peak said with a smile: "He looked very ordinary before. The last time I saw him, he still had the aura of having just been promoted to the fourth realm. It has only been three months since I last saw him and he has been promoted to a higher realm. It is a bit interesting."
The further a cultivator goes, the more difficult it becomes to break through. The advancement from the Fourth Realm to the Fifth Realm is already a relatively time-consuming stage of cultivation for these disciples, and ordinary disciples need more than ten to twenty years.
Even a top genius like Jiang Lintian spent about six years cultivating from the Fourth Realm to the Fifth Realm at the age of twenty-three.
Three months is definitely an astonishing speed!
Not to mention that the former He Gu's talent was mediocre in the eyes of the peak masters.
It's actually a bit strange.
After hearing what Master Wuyu Peak said, Zhu Junzi's expression changed slightly.
According to He Gu's performance, Jiang Lintian in his peak will have to stay away from the edge for a while.
However, he obviously didn't believe that He Gu could do it with his cultivation talent, and that the powerful opportunities between heaven and earth could also produce this effect.
Wu Daozi was a little surprised, and even the two peak masters Wu Xin and Wu Wen, who had always been taciturn and smiling, raised their gray brows.
Of course, the former was surprised not by He Gu's sudden increase in cultivation speed, but by Leng Qingzhu.
Peak Master Wuxin smiled softly and said: "It seems that Junior Sister Leng is not just like what she said. She was just entrusted by a friend who owed a favor in the past to make an exception and take the male disciple into Wugou Peak. I'm afraid there is something wrong with it. The inside story of Qing.”
If you are just entrusted by someone, even if you repay the favor when you accept a disciple, there is no need to commit yourself to a disciple with average cultivation talent.
The ruthless peak master suddenly and inexplicably didn't like hearing such words, and frowned slightly.
In his heart, the male disciple Leng Qingzhu accepted as an exception would only be a disciple.
No matter what kind of relationship it changes into, he doesn't like it.
If possible, not even allowed.
Although everyone said this, all the senior officials unanimously concluded that it was because Leng Qingzhu had found a great opportunity for his disciple that the male disciple might not be able to maintain such a terrifying cultivation speed in the future.
