Nothing was said all night.

In the mountains behind Xinghemen, the most lively time is the big competition once every five years.

On this day, the Outer Gate Elders come to this place, set up three rings in this one, limit the time, and have extremely cruel rules.

For a whole day, tens of thousands of people here will be disorganized by Discord into three parts, corresponding to three rings.

Anyone is free to stand on the stage or take on the challenge.

Within a day, there is a master in the ring, but no one comes to the stage to challenge, or no one can defeat him, and the cultivation realm reaches the third level of the Spirit Gathering Period, you can win.

If there is no one on the inner stage of the half-burnt incense, and no one voluntarily comes to the stage, then everyone under the ring will be disqualified.

As long as the time is up, the three people who are still standing on the stage can leave the back mountain and be accepted into the outer gate by the elders.

Then from then on, there will be someone to arrange for them to practice.

Issuing elixirs, spells, spiritual weapons, door clothes, and tokens, he officially became an outer disciple of Xinghemen, unrestrained, and a person in the Xianmen.

Not only can you have freedom, but you can also practice authentic immortal spells, and you can be at ease.

This kind of life is enough to make countless people who have been trapped here for many years crazy and flock to it.

They yearn for freedom, for the status that their practice gives them.

But because of the challenge rules of this ring, the three people who were able to win the big competition were all based on terrifying comprehensive strength.

They need to have enough strength, clever reactions, beyond the intelligence of ordinary people, and even more need luck.

Because the rules are extremely free, this kind of competition has infinite possibilities.

The vast majority of people are eager to try.

Chenshi.

On top of this large square, all the people in the back mountain who want to change their lives have gathered.

The crowd of people, boiling, and the sound of each other's ears coming and going, one after another.

Everyone's face was full of anticipation, as if entering the outer gate to become a disciple was just around the corner.

Qingyun and Wu Qiao were standing together, so they were assigned to the No. 3 ring together, but they were soon drowned in the vast sea of people.

The crowd was in the north, and the ring was in the south, and at this time, everyone saw a flat boat hanging in the air, coming from the south, and the speed was extremely fast.

In the blink of an eye, the boat had arrived here, and a few people flew out of the boat in the white mist and slowly landed on the ring.

"Look, it's Elder Xu, Elder Xu is here. ”

"It's finally here, I've been waiting for this day for many years, and I must win today. ”

"I think you better take care of it, this year's Houshan Dabi, if you can beat me, say this kind of ignorance. ”

Everyone in the audience was boiling, and in their hearts, Elder Xu's arrival carried the freedom they wanted, as well as their hope for the future.

Today, there will definitely be three people, three people who have been favored by God, who will be taken away by Elder Xu and leave this prison-like back mountain from now on.

Qingyun looked intently, and saw several people standing on the stage, and the one in front was the Xu Yeshan who brought him to Xinghe Gate in Seven Star City.

"It turns out that he is an elder of the outer gate, and it seems that every time he selects disciples, he should take the lead in participating in it. ”

Qingyun guessed in his heart.

Behind Xu Yeshan, there stood Yan Hua, and there were a few disciples who had never seen before, all of them with a lofty spirit and an extraordinary posture.

"It is an honor to come here today to participate in the grand ceremony once every five years in the back mountain, and if there are people who practice diligently, we will naturally be able to see it.

Today, I hope that you will each work hard, don't miss this opportunity, today's ceremony, is about to begin. ”

Seeing Xu Yeshan speak, everyone here suddenly fell silent, and only his voice could be heard in the entire field.

When he saw this scene, he was extremely satisfied, nodded, and said:

"Yan Hua, burn incense. ”

"Yes, Master. ”

Yan Hua bent down to receive the order, and then took out three incense sticks and distributed them to the three people behind him.

Let them light each one and place it on top of three rings.

The incense had been lit, the green smoke was filling, Yan Hua walked to Taichung, and said loudly:

"It takes five hours for this incense to burn out, and when the incense is extinguished, if there is a person standing alone in the ring and reaching the third level of the spirit gathering period, it is the outer disciple recruited this time.

Starting from this year, you can be free to shoot in the ring, regardless of life or death, if you get off the stage to rest, you will be deemed to have given up your qualification as an outer disciple.

If there is no one on the stage for more than ten breaths, then everyone in the ring is disqualified, so you can start waiting. ”

As soon as the words fell, Xu Yeshan turned around and left, taking Yan Hua to the high platform to watch.

In addition, one disciple is left in each ring to act as an observer.

After Yan Hua finished speaking, everyone here talked a lot, and they were all very puzzled by the last sentence.

"Did you hear that, no matter whether you live or die in the ring this year, doesn't that mean you can kill people?"

"I thought I heard it wrong, in previous years, the competition was defeated, and there was no deathmatch. ”

"Can you still go to this ring, if you lose, you won't even lose your life, it's better to spend your days here idle. ”

"You can't just sit empty, which means that there are always people waiting for a challenge. ”

"No one can be so powerful, you can play on stage for a day, what is this to do. ”

"It's over, it's over, it's over, I don't want to die yet, but I don't want to stay here either, what should I do......"

When even more psychologically fragile people heard such rules, they cried in despair, as if they couldn't accept it, and it seemed like a hopeless life.

Qingyun's pupils shrank, and he immediately figured out the point of this rule:

"You can challenge at will, and if you step down, you will lose your qualifications, and you can't leave the ring empty for ten breaths, and you don't care if you live or die.

This is to put people to death, ten breaths of the rule, so that people have to go up and stand up, otherwise they have to wait another five years.

But no matter who goes up, they will be attacked by a crowd, because no one wants to give away the freedom and hope of the second half of their lives.

There will inevitably be people who will continue to challenge on stage until the person on stage dies or abstains.

After five hours of wheel battle, even the most powerful people in the back mountain can't hold on."

Qingyun instantly knew the cruelty of this competition, and today in the ring, it must be bloody.

He couldn't help but pound in his heart, after all, the rule of life and death was really unacceptable to a person like him who had never even killed an animal.

But if you don't accept it, you lose your freedom for a lifetime.

If you don't have the courage to stand up and fight for your life in the five-year competition, you will forever give up your freedom and the rest of your life.

Some people yearn for freedom, while others are timid and afraid of death.

For some people, if they live and lose their freedom, it is better to live than to die, and the rest of their lives will be plunged into endless pain and suffering.

In the eyes of some people, they would rather survive in the world than waste their lives easily, they are afraid of death and the unknown fate.

Up, or not.

How others choose, Qingyun doesn't know.

But he knew he had to decide whether to be trapped here forever or to let go and fight for half his life.

Before he could think about it, there were already people on the No. 1 and No. 2 platforms.

And they're already counting down here.

"Ten Breaths"

"Nine Breaths"

......

"Three Breaths"

"I'm coming!"

A roar that seemed to be oppressed to the extreme suddenly came from the crowd.

Within a few steps, the man was already standing in the middle of the stage, standing majestically.

Qingyun took a look, this person was about thirty years old, with a strong figure, and his arms seemed to have green tendons.

"Today's Houshan ceremony, in the next special to stand up, if there is anyone who wants to fight, just come to fight. ”

The man held his head high, his eyes were round, and his feet seemed to be rooted.

Looking at the tens of thousands of people in front of him, he said proudly.

Qingyun secretly shouted 'good', so imposing, indomitable, and a masterpiece.

Unfortunately, he was trapped in this back mountain, and standing in this ring today, he was afraid that he would lose himself here in less than a stick of incense, and he couldn't help but secretly say that it was a pity.
