The old man sensed the aura of Ji Liao's Lian Shen's perfection, lingered on his body for a while, and nodded with a smile, "Well, the time is just right. If you step forward at night, you will be trapped in the Mingxin Cave."
"Yes, it's so dangerous!" Ji Liao replied.
"Go on, find a place to sit down, the next test will begin soon." The old man pointed to the square not far away and said.
Ji Liao nodded slightly, without saying much, and walked towards the square.
Ji Liao's appearance immediately attracted the attention of the disciples worshiping the mountain in the square, as well as the disciples of Tianzhi Mountain who were watching the excitement, and they all started talking.
"Who is this person?"
"I have no idea I have no idea."
"It's actually a god-refining monk. Why haven't I noticed it?"
"I have some impressions of this guy. He seems to have been at the back of the crowd along the way, and he didn't seem to have spoken to anyone."
"This is strange. The realm of the god-refining monk is so high, how could he pass the assessment at the last minute?"
"Hey, isn't the first one of us who came out of the Mingxin Cave a monk in the foundation-building stage? In a place where the spiritual power of the earth is so strong, it cannot be judged based on cultivation level."
"You are right. Old monsters like them who have lived for who knows how many years have experienced many things and have many distracting thoughts in their hearts."
Amid the discussion, Ji Liao arrived at the square, briefly glanced at the tens of thousands of people in the square, and then went to an inconspicuous corner and sat down cross-legged.
"Okay, the time has come, and the second test will be carried out next, the sword test!" At this time, the old man in front of the crowd said.
The voice was soft, spreading slowly, and fell clearly into everyone's ears.
The conversation in the venue suddenly stopped, and tens of thousands of people immediately looked solemn, listening carefully to the sounds coming from their ears.
"Also, everything has spirituality, and swords also have spirituality. Our Tianzhi Mountain is a sword cultivator sect, so every disciple must have his own sword. In the eyes of sword cultivators, the sword is the life of the monk, and the sword is also the life of the monk. Choose a good tree to live in. In the eyes of the sword, your cultivation level is not important. What is important is your desire for the sword, whether you have the courage of the sword, whether you can fit with them, and whether you can become one." The old man said.
Whether they are mortals or cultivators, everyone present has passed the first test of Tianshi Mountain. Needless to say, they are eager to seek swords. At this moment, tens of thousands of people have solemn expressions, as if they are listening to the sermons of their elders.
Seeing this, the old man smiled with satisfaction, nodded slightly, and then continued, "Look at that sword mountain."
After saying that, the old man raised his hand and pointed at the ten thousand-foot mountain covered with swords in the center of the dense forest.
Everyone turned their attention to Jianshan at the same time, with a touch of expectation and enthusiasm in their eyes.
"That is the place where your second level assessment will take place." The old man withdrew his hand, looked at the people in front of him, paused and continued, "Part of the sword mountain is the swords that our sect has collected over the years, and there are also sect weapon refiners who have made them. The swords they make are of different levels. There are the lowest-level magic swords and the highest-level divine swords. What level of swords can be induced to recognize the master depends on your sword heart, Elder Wu. ..”
After the old man finished speaking, the elder who had just closed the Mingxin Cave came over and raised his hand to the old man sitting in front of everyone, "Yes, Master Tang!"
"Go and open the road to Jian Mountain." The head of Tianzhi Mountain named Tang said.
"Yes!" The old man responded, and then he flew into the air together. He flipped his palm and a palm-sized token immediately appeared in his palm.
The old man opened his mouth slightly, and a line of light cyan misty spiritual energy immediately spurted out of his mouth and landed on the token.
There was a soft buzzing sound, and the token in the old man's hand instantly lit up with a faint light, making invisible ripples.
"open!"
The old man shouted in a deep voice and pointed at the dense forest below with the token in his hand.
With a soft sound, a beam of light suddenly shot out from the token and hit the dense forest below.
The next moment, a rumbling sound was heard, and the trees in the dense forest seemed to come alive, moving and retreating to both sides.
The ground shook, and it lasted for as long as a cup of tea before it subsided quietly. In the middle of the dense forest, a wide stone road with a length of one hundred feet appeared, leading straight to Jianshan Mountain deep in the dense forest.
"Master Tang..." Ji Liao whispered in his heart.
Ji Liao learned from Xu Lin that the two of them knew in advance about the level of the monks in Tianshi Mountain this time. Wei Qing bribed a deputy head named Tang Shan. After hearing the old man calling the old man in front of everyone, The head of the Tang Dynasty, Ji Liao's heart immediately moved, and he immediately connected this old man with Tangshan.
Ji Liao's eyes rolled rapidly, and then an intriguing smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Seeing the passage open, Sect Leader Tang shook his Taoist robe and stood up, with his hands behind his back and facing the people in front of him, "The assessment standard for you this time is what level of sword master you can induce, which will determine whether you enter the inner gate or the outer gate." Qualification, let me say it again, cultivation is not important, the heart of the sword and the courage of the sword are the key. Mortals can also attract divine swords to recognize their masters, and refining gods can also attract elementary magic swords. Don't feel burdened."
After saying this, Head Tang paused for a moment, took a look at everyone's reactions and continued, "Those who have initiated the elementary magic sword and the top-level magic sword will be unified into the outer sect, and those who have initiated the Xuan level and the lower level of the Spirit level will be unified into the inner sect." Sect, those who are in the middle level of the spiritual level to the lower level of the god level can become the disciples of the master of any of the sixteen peaks of Tianzhi Mountain and become direct disciples. Those who are in the middle level of the god level or above can become the inheritance disciples of the sect. "
"Hey, there is actually a divine sword at the level of a divine weapon in this sword mountain."
"Have you not heard? What Tianzhishan pays attention to is the heart of the sword. If the sword is not suitable for them, they will not use it even if the sword is of a high level."
"Oh my god, I never thought that one day I would be able to possess a divine sword above the level of a god."
"Brother, are you awake? If you had eaten some food today, you wouldn't have drunk like this. You also returned the divine sword, which is a divine weapon. I'm dreaming."
"Hey, didn't Master Tang say that everyone has a chance? Why can't I do it?"
"Bah, it's just you! You're less than six feet tall and can cut off four of your own toes with a sword dance, you deserve to have a divine sword!"
"I'll fuck you, uncle."
The people in the venue once again became noisy after hearing the words of Head Tang, their faces flushed, all imagining that they could be recognized by the divine-level magic weapon.
Head Tang waved his hand, and a wave of waves immediately rippled in his palm, spread out, and landed on the heads of tens of thousands of people in the venue, directly suppressing the noisy sound.
"Of course, most of you will not be recognized by the swords of Jianshan Mountain, but you don't need to be discouraged. Those who are not recognized by the swords can go to our Tianjian Mountain Sword Refining Front to practice sword refining until they are refined. Those who have mastered the magic sword of the top level can be classified as outer disciples. If they refine the magic sword of the mysterious level, they can be promoted to the inner disciples. If the monks among you are not recognized by the swords of Jianshan, then the monks who refine the gods can You can be a third-level deacon in the inner sect of the sect, and the Yuanying monk can be a second-level deacon or an inner disciple in the outer sect. At the golden elixir stage, you can be promoted to an inner sect disciple, and the elders of the Sword Lianshan Mountain will refine the sword for him. , the monks who build the foundation and absorb the energy are classified as the outer sect, and the conditions for promotion to the inner sect are to break through the golden elixir, or to refine a sword above the Xuanji level."
Ji Liao listened to Elder Tang's story and secretly admired him.
On this day, Zhishan thought of everything he could think of. Mortals also have the opportunity to be promoted to the inner sect, and monks may also be disciples of the outer sect.
They are all people who have passed the first test, which means that all of them have spiritual cultivation roots. Even if they are not recognized, they still have the qualifications to practice weapon refining, so they can be promoted to the outer sect, and then from the outer sect to the inner sect. The sect, and even the direct disciples of the Sixteenth Peak Headmaster, has truly opened up the path to promotion for everyone, giving everyone hope. At the same time, the arrangements for the monks are extremely reasonable, but everyone is treated equally. In this way, it can circulate over and over again, and it can capture the hearts of every sect disciple.
Head Tang stroked his beard and chuckled, "Our sect will not force you to stay. If you want to leave, you can leave now."
Everyone in the arena looked at me and I looked at you. We have worked hard to pass the first step of the assessment and have reached this point. Who would be willing to leave at this time?
When no one spoke, Head Tang smiled again and said, "The sword test has only lasted for five days. The sword test begins now. You go."
As soon as Sect Leader Tang finished speaking, several figures in the crowd rose into the sky, and flew towards Jian Mountain in a meandering way.
As soon as the people in the arena saw that the monk had taken the lead, they immediately stood up in a swarm and ran towards Sword Mountain like a tide.
Ji Liao flew up into the air with a flash of blue light, glanced at the ten thousand-foot sword mountain in the distance, and stepped towards the sword mountain.
"Boom..."
And just when Ji Liao took a step, a thunderous explosion that only he could hear suddenly came in his mind. Ji Liao's expression changed and he couldn't help but froze in place.
At the same time, the white phoenix hovering above his spiritual sea also moved. Electric arcs shot out from its eyes and bounced along its perfect lines.
The thunder was just a flash, and soon became silent again.
"What..." Ji Liao's dark eyes flashed coldly, and he looked at Jianshan and muttered.
Just now, an unknown force suddenly reacted to his world-destroying ability, and actually directly mobilized the world-destroying thunder in his body.
He closed his eyes slightly and felt for a moment, but the power had disappeared, and Ji Liao couldn't find the source of that power at all.
Ji Liao hesitated. There was something wrong with this power. It had been thousands of years since he entered Taoism, and this was the first time that a foreign object had triggered the world-destroying thunder in his body.
He looked around and found that there was nothing strange around him, so the strangeness most likely came from Jianshan.
Ji Liao was hesitant to go, but just after such a slight hesitation, he was the only worshiper left in the square where there were tens of thousands of people. Still hanging in the air, the disciples of Tianzhi Mountain and the elders of Tianzhi Mountain were watching. They all looked at him in unison.
Ji Liao frowned, no longer hesitated, and twisted his body into a blue light and flew towards Jianshan.
