The monks in the field did not wait long.
The clear light on the dome changed quietly, from a constant cyan to a colorful and endlessly flowing starlight, and then evolved into a deep and quiet void, dotted with countless stars, star clusters, and nebulae.
Qin Muling was vaguely aware that behind the mysterious starry sky, a certain powerful will was silently observing every monk present, especially herself, who received the most attention from her.
Of course, with her status, she is not able to see through Qin Muling's true background. At most, she can detect that his qualifications and luck are far beyond those of ordinary monks.
After a while, that strange Taoist rhyme fluctuation appeared again, and this time it was obviously much stronger, so that the number of monks in the field who felt it was about twice as many as last time.
Qin Muling and her senior sisters remained silent and waited quietly.
A moment later, the Tao Yun fluctuation appeared for the third time, and its intensity was so strong that nearly half of the monks in the audience could sense it. For Qin Muling, who has the most outstanding fundamental potential, this kind of fluctuation is no less than the morning bells and evening drums reverberating at the level of the soul, lasting for a long time.
In this way, Dao Yun fluctuated one after another, not only appearing more and more frequently, but also becoming more and more exaggerated in intensity, so that a small number of monks with lower strength in the audience could not bear it, and showed expressions of pain and suffering, and the corners of their eyes There is faint blood oozing from the mouth and nose.
Needless to say, they were destined to be eliminated.
Qin Muling silently worked his mind, resisting the invisible pressure from the soul level. His soul source was now so powerful that it was unimaginable for ordinary monks. Coupled with the help of the innate Hongmeng spiritual seed, which constantly replenishes consumption, he was naturally not afraid. This kind of test.
In this way, nearly 10,000 monks persisted silently. As the fluctuations of Dao Yun appeared again and again, and the terrible pressure continued to increase, they all used their full strength, with lights and shadows all over their bodies flickering, gritting their teeth and persisting.
I feel even more tired than the fight just now!
Su Zhengji secretly thought to himself. From his perspective, it was not difficult to see the purpose of this kind of training and test. It would be good to estimate that only one tenth of the people in the audience could survive it smoothly.
And many sealers may not be able to survive to the end. After all, this kind of Dao Yun coercion is mainly aimed at the monks' own qualifications and endowments. Those old guys who have exhausted their potential and have no hope of going further are definitely not qualified. Talling requested.
"Elder, what should we do now?"
A sealer next to him asked with some difficulty.
"There is no other way. We can only carry this forcefully. If you can't bear it, leave early!"
Su Zhengji frowned and said, he himself felt that it was hard, how could he still have the energy to help his fellow disciples? Even if I want to help, I can't help.
Anyway, of the more than 3,000 disciples who followed him in, in the end, no more than 20 of them were able to escape unscathed. It would not be surprising if the whole army was wiped out.
Sighing bitterly, Su Zhengji was already thinking about how much he would have to pay to settle things this time when he went back.
As time goes by, Qin Muling only feels that the pressure at the level of the soul is getting more and more terrifying. Every time the Tao Yun fluctuates, it is like a mountain peak crushing his whole body. That terrible feeling... It is really useless. Words to describe.
Cheng Yulan and Yu Binghua's expressions were a little pale, and their delicate bodies were trembling slightly. It was obvious that they were resisting very hard.
Qin Muling thought for a while, then asked his senior sister to sit next to him, and took one of their jade hands respectively. The clear, deep, lonely and lofty aura of enlightenment emerged from his body and slowly enveloped the three of them. As expected, he successfully offset some of the pressure on them.
Anyway, there are barriers and shields around you, so you don't have to worry about outsiders seeing your secrets.
"That's it, I, I quit!"
In the distance, a monk with bleeding from his mouth and nose and a weak breath stood up unsteadily and shouted loudly at the starry sky on the dome.
In the flash of clear light, his figure disappeared from the spot. He must have been sent out of the Yunji Taoist Tower by the tower spirit.
After the first example, hundreds of monks gave up one after another, and also disappeared one after another in the clear light.
As for whether these people can survive smoothly after withdrawing, it can only depend on God's will. If there happen to be monks from hostile forces guarding outside, the consequences... are just the difference between death early and death later.
In the midst of such suffering, two hours passed quietly, and the number of monks who were still holding on was only a little over a thousand.
At this time, Qin Muling felt a little unsustainable. After all, he had to take care of the two senior sisters around him. If he only took care of himself, the pressure would not be so exaggerated.
Fortunately, at this time, the second test was finally coming to an end. When the last batch of monks were sent out, the fatal fluctuations in Dao Yun finally stopped.
After a few breaths, the picture of the starry sky on the dome quietly changed, and the second wave of clear rain fell silently, pattering down, covering all the monks present, and the Taoist rhyme became increasingly pure, rich, smart and profound.
Compared with the previous round, this wave of clear rain and dew was significantly larger, and the quantity and quality had been significantly improved, making the surviving monks feel that the previous hardships were finally not in vain.
There are now less than a thousand monks in the audience, and any one of them is a well-known new-generation genius, or a long-established strong man like Su Zhengji. With this opportunity, my future achievements can almost be raised to a higher level based on the original ones.
Cheng Yulan silently activated the formation again, and a huge vortex of starlight emerged from above his head, sweeping away all the clear rain and dew within a radius of more than fifty miles. All the gains were still shared equally among the three.
But this time, no monk was willing to come forward and argue with her. Compared with last time, there were about 90% less people, and now everyone can share enough portions.
"Great, I feel like if there is another wave, after leaving the secret realm, I should be able to try to hit the Yuanxian realm, right?"
Yu Binghua said happily, and looked at Qin Muling beside her with tender eyes. If it weren't for the good luck brought by her junior brother, she would not have been able to persist until now, and she would have been eliminated early.
Although her time with Qin Muling was still short, the benefits she got were far beyond her expectations. The girls Qi Shuyu and Su Yunmo who were originally at the same level as her were greatly separated, and they may not be able to use it. After too long, I can catch up with Xue Bingxuan and the others.
"Just understand it in your own mind, and remember not to tell anyone."
The second senior sister Cheng Yulan gave Yu Binghua a white look. She no longer dared to continue to improve her cultivation, so all the clear rain and dew she got was used to optimize the body, body, soul, and every point she could improve.
"If there is another round, maybe I can reach the ultimate level of inner demon, right?"
Qin Muling muttered, he still adopted the previous method, he got 30%, and the rest was given to the innate Hongmeng spiritual seed. As a result, the body and soul were optimized and improved by about half, and the cultivation level was at the fourth level of the inner demon realm. It was promoted to the sixth level.
It's just that the gap from the inner demon realm, the destiny realm to the true immortal level is still huge, and it can't be caught up in a day or two, so Qin Muling understands that he has to eat soft food for a long time before he can stand up and become the master in front of his senior sisters.
Besides, even if you overwhelm the senior sisters, where is the master above them? And what about all the Supreme Elders? There are even Emperor Xinyu and Emperor Qinghuan on top... It feels like they will never get ahead.
Not to mention, it is hard to say what fatal consequences would happen if the mysterious owner of the Siyuan Star Palace found him in advance.
Therefore, Qin Muling felt that until he cultivated to the level of a quasi-sage emperor, he could only choose to remain silent. Otherwise, when the Dongchuang incident occurred, even the three emperors of the Taoist court might not be able to protect themselves if they joined forces.
After a quarter of an hour, the clear rain and dew falling on the dome gradually decreased until it disappeared.
At this time, the more than 900 monks in the field have not only recovered from their injuries, but their energy and spirit are at their peak, and their cultivation levels have improved to varying degrees. Many monks have directly broken through to a major realm, and their qualifications and potentials have also been improved. Obvious transformation and sublimation.
Some monks are already thinking about giving up and quitting when the situation is good. After all, I have received enough benefits so far. After I return, my status in the sect family will definitely increase, and my future path will be bright.
If you don't leave, the next round of tests will be unimaginably terrible. If you can't hold on and fall here, won't all the previous efforts and gains be in vain?
In such entanglement and hesitation, time passed quietly.
"coming!"
Qin Muling said suddenly, and as some mysterious and indescribable sound of nature sounded at the level of the soul, he was shocked to find that his body had changed.
Looking down, he saw a faint blue flame growing from his dantian, from the inside to the outside. In an instant, his whole body was wrapped in flames and burned blazingly.
"What is this?"
Qin Muling was slightly frightened, and tried to use his means to annihilate the flame, but found that all magical powers and spells were of no avail. And not only himself, but the two senior sisters next to him also had flames on their bodies.
Looking around again, one by one of the nearly a thousand monks, their whole bodies were enveloped in this strange blue flame. No matter how hard they struggled, they could not get rid of it.
"This flame doesn't seem to be an ordinary fire. It has no heat and no harm to the soul or body for the time being. It's really strange. Is it some kind of special test?"
Cheng Yulan analyzed calmly. Although it was the first time she encountered such a situation, it did not make her lose her bearings. The tower spirit of Yunji Taoist Tower did not have the intention to kill all the monks from the beginning, so there was no need Worry too much.
Qin Muling calmed down and carefully felt the characteristics of the cyan flame, and found that it actually used his own mana as fuel, but it did not have any negative effects on his body and soul, and it did not even affect his movement, breath regulation, or recovery of lost mana.
And as time goes by, the consumption of mana seems to be slowly increasing. Of course, with the strength of Qin Muling's mana, it is not a problem to let the green flame burn for two or three hours. If coupled with his unusual recovery speed , can almost support it to keep burning.
After repeated confirmations, Qin Muling informed the two senior sisters of his findings and speculations. They had more experience and might be able to see something different.
"Just wait and see, the tower spirit will probably make subsequent moves,"
Cheng Yulan pondered and said: "This flame is probably the screening mechanism of this round. It is estimated that less than 10% can survive it. Anyway, with my junior brother here, we will have no problem persisting until the end."
Qin Muling shook his head slightly: "I think it would be good if thirty people can persist in this wave. After all, their elixir resources have been exhausted. Apart from relying on their own cultivation, there is nothing else to do." Means to supplement?”
Thinking about it, the two women thought that with the speed of the younger brother's mana recovery, none of the monks present could compare with him. Moreover, even if this was not enough, the three of them still had a lot of elixir resources, and they could definitely last until the final stage.

The surrounding environment changed quietly, and the boundless darkness slowly surged in like substance, drowning all the monks in a few breaths.
Affected by the dark realm, a strong sense of death, despair, and decadence emerged from the hearts of the monks, which was almost uncontrollable.
Qin Muling secretly deduced it, and couldn't help but feel awe-struck. The monks' souls were generally powerful, and their mental toughness far surpassed that of ordinary people, but they still couldn't withstand the erosion of this dark realm. Over time, they might lose their mind or go crazy. .
In the sea of consciousness, the innate Hongmeng spiritual seeds slowly rotated, spreading a soft hazy clear light, warm and bright, with the magical effect of stabilizing the soul and strengthening the origin. Not only did he benefit a lot, but it also benefited the two people around him. Senior sister, let them no longer have any inner demons.
The other monks around them did not have such a good fortune. Affected by the dark realm, the mana in their bodies was burned and consumed much faster, and there were also signs of a large loss of energy and spirit.
In the boundless darkness, more than nine hundred human-shaped torches were clearly visible, some bright and some dim. It’s clear who is strong and who is weak.
Especially the three of Qin Muling, the light was shining brightly and dazzlingly, just like a human-shaped golden crow, and even the surrounding darkness had a tendency to be melted and dispersed.
However, this situation did not last long. As the mana continued to be consumed and replenished, the green flames on many monks gradually dimmed.
"Don't let the fire go out, otherwise something terrible will happen."
In the distance, Chi Yeling, the first genius seed of the Qilin tribe, whispered. At this time, there were only about twenty companions who were still with him, and the rest had been eliminated.
The flames on his body were hot and bright, rising several feet high, almost as good as Qin Muling's now. However, considering the current gap in cultivation level between the two sides, it was actually not surprising.
"Young Master, we really can't hold on any longer!"
A strong man from the Qilin tribe said helplessly that the mana in his body was on the verge of drying up, the elixir resources in his body had been exhausted, and he was now at the end of his rope.
"Then quit."
Chi Ye Ling said, the young master's intuition told him that once the monks let this weird darkness get close to them, it would be a luxury to survive, and their souls and bodies would be completely devoured by some terrible thing. , nothing will be left.
Rather than die with no bones left, it is better to give up directly and still have a chance to survive.
"Okay, let's listen to the young master."
After a brief weighing of the more than 20 strong men around them, more than half of them made their choice and directly expressed their willingness to withdraw, and were immediately sent out by the tower spirit. The remaining people still have the energy to persevere, so they plan to wait and see.
However, there are only a few wise and decisive monks in the end. Most people still have a sense of luck in their hearts and remain silent even after their mana is exhausted and the flames on their bodies are extinguished.
"They're finished!"
Qin Muling said softly. In the induction of his innate magical power, dozens of indescribable beings appeared quietly, using the darkness as cover to sneak over slowly but really quickly. Their targets were the monks whose flames had been extinguished.
Their bodies are several feet long and look like crocodiles. They have wide mouths with fangs. They are ferocious and terrifying. Their breath is erratic and difficult to fathom, but they are certainly not inferior to the fairyland.
"Ahhhh——"
A series of extremely miserable screams sounded in the darkness, carrying a strong sense of despair and unwillingness.
