Chapter 674: Savage Land
After Yi Taichu finished speaking, the middle-aged man sitting in the middle of the upper floor of the Guanwu platform slowly got up, walked step by step, and came to Yi Taichu's side.
This middle-aged man was dressed in purple, his face was white and beardless, and he was generally a Jindan Great Perfection cultivator at the beginning of the year, and he was standing there at this moment, standing in the sky above nearly 10,000 foundation building monks, with an indescribable majesty.
"I, Yan Tian, as a messenger, have come this time to give stars to the Qingyu Sect on behalf of the Zixiao Sect. Yan Tian said, and took out a bronze ancient star, which had a faint patina on it, and seemed to have gone through countless years.
Yan Tian held the bronze ancient star in his hand, and recited a complicated and incomprehensible mantra in his mouth, and the bronze ancient star in Yan Tian's hand gradually brightened, flashing a dazzling yellow mang, when this yellow light reached the extreme, Yan Tian's right hand was raised suddenly, and he shouted: "Get up!"
In an instant, the sky of the entire Qingyu Sect was overcast, the sun sank into the dark clouds at some point, and the light in the heavens and the earth seemed to be replaced by the slowly rising bronze ancient star, and all people and things seemed incomparably small under this bronze ancient star.
At the same time, in the sky obscured by dark clouds, yellow light gradually came out, and in the blink of an eye, five bronze ancient stars that also exuded a dazzling yellow halo were revealed, reflecting each other with the rising ancient stars.
Under the attention of everyone, the sixth ancient star gradually rose to the sky, forming an encirclement with the remaining five bronze ancient stars, and then emitted a dazzling yellow light, centered on the six bronze ancient stars, rapidly spreading outward.
Everyone couldn't help but avoid their gaze under this dazzling yellow light, and when everyone looked up at the sky again, they found that the clouds in the sky had dispersed, and the six ancient stars had long since disappeared.
I don't know who cheered first, and then the entire Qingyu Sect was boiling, and every disciple's face was filled with joy, the sect was strong, and it had a strong backing for all disciples. Moreover, at the moment when those six ancient stars disappeared, many disciples felt that it seemed that the luck of the entire Qingyu Sect was different from before.
Driven by the strong atmosphere around Qiao Yun at this moment, a different feeling is also surging in his heart, although Qiao Yun has only been in the Qingyu Sect for a short period of one and a half years, but unconsciously, Qiao Yun also gradually has a sense of belonging to the Qingyu Sect.
Looking at the jubilant crowd, Yan Tian smiled faintly, "I announce that from now on, the Qingyu Sect will become the ninth six-star sect in my Mozhou!"
……
At the same time, in the sky above all the large and small sects in Mozhou, the same ancient star slowly appeared, and under the attention of countless people, it began to flicker.
Once, twice, three times......
It wasn't until the sixth flickering that these bronze ancient stars slowly disappeared into the sky and disappeared without a trace.
When the ancient stars of their respective sects dissipated, there was a discussion in the large and small sects of Mozhou, and the sect masters of each sect urgently convened the elders of each sect to discuss the matter.
In less than half a day, the Qingyu Sect successfully advanced and became the ninth six-star sect in Mozhou, and the news spread throughout Mozhou. The sect masters of various large and small sects also acted quickly, sending envoys from their respective sects, carrying gifts, to the Qingyu Sect to congratulate.
……
At this time, in the Qingyu Sect, on Xiping Peak, Yan Tian and Yi Taichu sat down one after another, and an elder who presided over the selection competition came to the air.
After the disciples below were quiet for a while, the elder coughed lightly and said slowly: "Duan Yanbin, the second elder of the Lower Qingyu Sect, I will preside over the selection competition of my sect this time. First of all, let me first introduce the allocation of fifty places in the realm of phantom flames. ”
When Duan Yanbin mentioned the allocation of places in the Illusory Flame Realm, all the monks held their breath and listened carefully, Duan Yanbin seemed to be very satisfied with this, smiled slightly, and continued: "After the joint discussion between the sect master and the elders, the fifty places in the Illusory Flame Realm this time will be thirty monks in the late stage of foundation building, twelve in the middle stage of foundation building, and three in the early stage of foundation building. ”
After Duan Yanbin finished speaking, the nearly 10,000 monks in the foundation building period next to the ring all started to discuss, but almost all the monks were talking about the number of places, and only Qiao Yun knew at this moment that the selection competition was still grouped according to the primary, middle, and late stages of foundation building.
"I didn't expect that there were only twelve places in the middle stage of foundation building, which was three less than expected, but with the cultivation of the sixth-layer Great Perfection of the foundation building of the junior sister, it shouldn't be a problem to break into the top twelve. Mu Jingrong said to Shen Xinhan after knowing the quota.
Shen Xinhan nodded, but then saw Qiao Yun's surprise beside him, so he hurriedly explained: "Brother Qiao, you may not know that the selection of places in the Illusory Flame Realm every hundred years is grouped according to the primary, middle, and late stages of foundation building, but in the past, the Qingyu Sect was competing for places with many five-star and below five-star sects, and this year, the Qingyu Sect organized its own selection within the sect, so everyone had some disputes about the allocation of places at each level. ”
After listening to Shen Xinhan's explanation, Qiao Yun also somewhat understood some of the reasons for such a selection according to different levels, the realm of phantom flame only opens once every hundred years, and it is impossible for every foundation building cultivator to cultivate to the great consummation of the late stage of foundation building, waiting for the opening of the realm of phantom flame.
Therefore, for the sake of fairness, there are such different levels of selection, giving those monks who are in the early stage of foundation building or the middle stage of foundation building the opportunity to participate in the realm of illusory flames. If you really have the strength, even if the number of places is small, as long as you can stand out among the monks of the same level, you will have a chance to enter the realm of phantom flames, otherwise I am afraid that you will have to wait for another hundred years and strive for the next opening place.
Qiao Yun finally knew why he saw so many monks of the sixth-layer Great Perfection of the foundation building, maybe most of them could enter the late stage of foundation building at any time, just for the quota of the Illusory Flame Realm, and deliberately suppressed the cultivation in the sixth-layer Great Perfection of the foundation, so as to compete for the quota in the middle stage of foundation building.
Although he figured all this out, Qiao Yun didn't care about knowing these news now, even if Qiao Yun knew about it a year earlier, he wouldn't suppress the cultivation at the third layer of the Great Perfection of the Foundation Building because of this, so as to ensure that he could smoothly enter the realm of Phantom Flame. In Qiao Yun's opinion, it is important that he has enough strength, even if he can't enter the realm of phantom flames, he can still have other places to go, there is no need to mistake his own cultivation in order to enter the realm of phantom flames.
After Duan Yanbin waited for everyone's discussion to be quiet, he spoke: "Don't think there is anything wrong with the allocation of quotas, although for the sake of fairness, the quota is taken care of all the monks in the early, middle and late stages of foundation building, but the realm of illusory flame is one of the three secret realms in my Mozhou, which is full of dangers, and it is often difficult for monks in the late stage of foundation building to protect themselves, not to mention the monks in the early stage of foundation building and the middle stage of foundation building. So, if you have the strength, even if there is only one place, it must be yours, but if not, no amount of places will be meaningless to you. Instead of arguing over the allocation of quotas, you should use your best strength to fight for quotas, this is the way of my generation's cultivation!"
After Duan Yanbin finished speaking, the monks below all quieted down, and they naturally knew that the discussion would not change anything, but many monks had been waiting for more than ten or decades, just for this day, so when the quota was allocated, they couldn't help but discuss. And at this moment, after listening to Duan Yanbin's words, more monks threw away the rest of their thoughts, took out their fighting spirit, and prepared to show their skills in the next competition.
"Due to the large number of people participating in the selection competition this time, after the discussion between the sect master and the elders, the selection competition was divided into two stages, and only the monks who passed the first stage of the test were eligible to participate in the final competition. ”
Before Duan Yanbin's words fell, eight Jindan elders stepped down from the upper floor of the Guanwu Platform, and these eight people quickly came to the huge ring from the east and west.
I saw that the eight Jindan elders were in different positions, faintly forming an erected ring in the middle of the ring, and then the eight elders pinched one after another, and there was a black light flashing on their bodies at the same time.
Suddenly, the eight Jindan elders stretched out their hands to the center of the ring at the same time, and pulled back suddenly, "Open!"
With the heavy drinking of the eight Jindan elders, the ring suddenly went dark, and a circular opening was actually torn open by the eight elders in the void, and there was a black light flashing on its edge.
This opening was stretched wider and larger by the eight Jindan elders, and in the blink of an eye, it became a circular giant hole, revealing another scene inside.
All the disciples could clearly see that on the other side of the cave, somewhere, there were black reefs everywhere, not a single grass grows, and the fierce wind constantly blows the reef, which is extremely violent.
After fixing the circular giant hole in the center of the ring, the eight Jindan elders retreated one after another and returned to the viewing platform, while Duan Yanbin said in a timely manner: "I think everyone has also seen that this wild place is the first stage of my Qingyu Sect's selection competition. The rules are very simple, this stage of the competition is speed and endurance, when all the monks enter the wilderness after the competition officially begins, the first 100 late foundation building monks who reach the finish line, the top 40 foundation building mid-stage monks and the top 10 foundation building early stage monks are eligible to enter the next stage of the competition, and the rest of the monks are all eliminated. It is forbidden to fight during the whole process of the game, and we will have a formation to monitor you in real time, so you must not do anything crooked, only by showing all your strength, it is the right way. ”
After Duan Yanbin finished speaking, the Zhuji disciples next to the ring exploded again, no one thought that the selection of the Phantom Flame Realm, which had been prepared for so long, would be carried out in such a way in the first stage, and it would also have to brush off the vast majority of the monks at one time.
Although many disciples were a little dissatisfied with this first stage of the competition, there were still many monks who rushed to jump into the ring, passed through the circular giant hole in the center of the ring, and entered the wild land, and Qiao Yun, Shen Xinhan, and Mu Jingrong were also among them.
