Shu Youjin and the three of them followed everyone to walk for several miles in the valley, and after passing through the palaces and buildings, they finally came to the depths of the valley, a naturally formed sinkhole. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Shu Youjin looked towards the sinkhole, and found that it was a huge pit with a diameter of 1,000 zhang, the pit was 100 zhang deep, and there were nine lone peak pillars distributed in the pit, each of which was more than 100 zhang high, protruding from the sinkhole.

Among them, the eight pillar stones are connected in one breath, surrounding the highest pillar stone in the middle, and the position is distributed, which happens to coincide with the direction of the eight trigrams.

On top of these eight pillar stones, a wide platform was built, each of which was a hundred zhang wide, and it seemed that it was used for martial arts.

At this time, on the periphery of the sinkhole, it was already full of people who came to attend the ceremony.

Among them, dozens of children of various ethnic groups participated in the competition, and they were specially placed on the left side of the sinkhole.

Shu Youjin and Fang Zhen walked to the left side of the sinkhole, while Anwar stayed where he was, waiting for the competition to begin.

Fang Zhen's gaze kept sweeping over the stone pillars in the sinkhole, and he saw that on a stone pillar in the center of the Bagua Pillar Stone, dozens of purple-red carved wooden chairs were arranged, and they were already full of people.

"Brother Shu, that's the viewing platform on it, right?" Fang Zhen asked with one hand pointing to the stone pillar in the center that was used to watch the battle.

"Not bad. Anyway, this ceremony was really grand, not only the Earth Dragon and Chime Turtle clans sent elders to come in person, but even those other families who had not been born for a long time but had a deep heritage also came out. It is said that the Earth Dragon Clan has made a lot of preparations for this matter, and their young master also came to participate in the selection in person, and he is still a popular candidate this time. Shu Youjin nodded.

Fang Zhen stood aside, but he didn't answer, just stared at the white-eyed old man on a seat on the right side of the viewing platform.

"That's the patriarch of your Purple-Eyed Demon Bull Clan, right?" Shu Youjin followed Fang Zhen's gaze and asked.

Fang Zhen sighed lightly and nodded.

At this time, many people around the ceremony, even those standing on the left side of the sinkhole, most of them cast their fiery eyes on the position near the center line of the viewing platform.

There was a young woman wearing a green robe and a light veil, but it was none other than Zhao Lingxiu, the new saint of the Tianfeng clan.

On her right side, Zhao Xuanji, who was wearing a golden robe, had a radiant complexion, leaning over and whispering something in her ear, and the relationship between the two seemed quite close.

The saint listened to her words, nodding her head in agreement from time to time, and occasionally browning her eyebrows and showing a slight smile.

However, although it is to reveal the whole picture, under the face covered with light veil, a smile, a shape, and a color, still arouses the admiration of everyone around the sinkhole.

On the left side of the saint, there is also a woman wearing a phoenix crown and a colorful feather robe, her expression is quite serious, seeing that the conversation and laughter of the two have attracted the attention of onlookers, so she reminded her sideways.

When the two of them heard this, they immediately restrained their laughter and sat up.

In addition, such as the Golden Wind Lady and Mrs. Zhen of the Tianfeng Clan, the elder Wu Yun of the Pangui Clan, and the Divine Realm powerhouse Di Feng of the Earth Dragon Clan, are also impressively listed.

"Master Shu, I think the time is almost up, I'm afraid this competition is about to start, Shi Gongzi is afraid he won't be able to catch up. Fang Zhen raised his head and looked at Chu Yang, who was slowly rising, and said with some concern.

"Brother Shi has always been very measured and sure in doing things, and he shouldn't miss the right thing. It's time to arrive. Shu Youjin said this, but his brows frowned slightly.

Obviously, he was also a little surprised, Shi Mu had been found missing since early in the morning, and he had not yet arrived.

About half an hour later, Shu Youjin and Fang Zhen still didn't wait for Shi Mu's trace.

"Brother Shi may really have something important to deal with, you and I just have to work hard. Shu Youjin glanced at the stone platform and spoke.

"Good. Fang Zhen responded sharply.

At this moment, a red-haired old man in a red brocade robe finally stood up on the viewing platform, cleared his throat, and said loudly: "You have worked tirelessly and rushed to your clan at all costs, and you will celebrate the blessing of the saintess taking over with me, so that our clan will shine." The old man Zhao Zhutong, on behalf of the Tianfeng family, sincerely thank you for coming. ”

The red-haired old man was in good spirits, his voice was like a bronze bell, and the aura emanating from his body was very powerful, and he was actually a powerhouse in the early stage of the God Realm.

As soon as these words came out, everyone present was in high spirits, and the audience was silent.

"Looks like it's about to start. Fang Zhen looked at Zhao Zhutong and whispered.

"It's about the same time, it's just a little weird. Shu Youjin said with some doubts.

"Brother Shu thinks what's strange?" Fang Zhen asked in surprise.

"Look at the three stone chairs in the middle of the viewing platform. With such a grand ceremony, coupled with the purpose of the three major clans taking this opportunity to gather forces, the patriarchs of the three clans of Tianfeng, Chime Turtle and Earth Dragon must be in person. Shu Youjin said,

"Yes, those three stone chairs should be the main seat of the three, why are they still empty?" Fang Zhen was stunned.

"I'm sure everybody knows. Before the official ceremony of the succession of the Holy Maiden, several rounds of competitions need to be held to select the double cultivation partner of the Holy Maiden. Due to the importance of this event, many of the participants are still coming to this Suzaku Star for the first time, and I am afraid that many people are not comfortable with the environment here. The saints of our clan sympathize with your hard work, and hereby postpone the start of the competition by one hour. Zhao Zhutong continued.

As soon as he said this, it provoked dozens of children of various ethnic groups who participated in the competition on the left side of the sinkhole, and some of them looked at each other and were at a loss.

"You can first get familiar with this gossip performance stage, and after an hour, the competition will start on time. Zhao Zhutong said with a little embarrassment.

"Master Shu, this ...... What should we do next?" Fang Zhen was still a little confused for a while.

"They were waiting for the three patriarchs to arrive, so they delayed it for an hour, but this is a good thing for Brother Shi. Shu Youjin said with a smile.

Fang Zhen listened and nodded approvingly.

Among the dozens of contestants, most of them didn't know how to look at each other, and only a few flew on the gossip stage, and they were really familiar with the ring.

......

Somewhere in the blue space, a faint light flew from a distance, and in a blink of an eye, Shi Mu's figure appeared.

At this moment, his face was gloomy and his brows were furrowed.

He had been flying in this blue space for a while, looking for a way out, but to no avail.

The only thing I know is that this blue space is amazingly large, and he has been flying for so long without the slightest sign of reaching the end.

At this moment, Cai'er flew out of the spirit beast bag, her complexion was much better than just now, but she had not completely recovered from her injuries.

It looked around a few times and wondered, "Hey, where is this? What about that blue-robed guy? You killed him." ”

Shi Mu nodded casually, a little absent-minded.

"Stone, you're getting better and better!" Cai'er looked at Shi Mu with a look of surprise.

"We don't have to shoot sycophants, now we have to think about how to get out of here. Shi Mu said lightly, with a hint of anxiety in his eyes.

At this moment, it is estimated that it is already dawn outside, and the ceremony may also begin.

"I've been very strange since just now, what kind of place is this? It's not like it's inside the formation prohibition. Cai'er said.

"If I'm right, this is supposed to be the inner space of a magic weapon. Shi Mu said.

"What, magic weapon space?" Cai'er said in surprise.

"As far as I know, some Lingbao-level magic weapons may have space inside. Shi Mu said in a deep voice.

"Then how can we get out and break through here with brute force?" Cai'er asked.

"The owner of this magic weapon has been killed by me, as long as we find the core prohibition of the magic weapon and refine it, we should be able to get out, but I have been looking for a while, and I can't find any traces of the formation prohibition here. Shi Mu shook his head and said.

There is an easier way, which is to ask Yan Luo to summon Shi Mu to the necromantic interface, so that he can leave this space.

However, after he arrived at the necromantic interface, Yan Luo's spatial coordinates in the Tianhe Star Domain were gone, and it was more troublesome for Shi Mu to come to Vermilion Bird Star again, and it was more convenient to refine this magic weapon.

"It's okay, in terms of eyesight, I'm better than you. If you can't find it, I'll definitely find it!" Cai'er said confidently, casting her spiritual powers and looking around.

"Then please. Shi Mu said.

Cai'er's spiritual powers are indeed above him, and they will definitely be able to find some clues when they join forces.

......

An hour passed quickly.

On the stone pillar viewing platform in the center, the three centered positions are still empty.

At this time, several elders of the Tianfeng clan gathered around Granny Jinfeng, as if they were talking about something.

After a while, the red-haired elder named Zhao Zhutong came to the stage again and said loudly to everyone: "The time has come, this selection competition is about to begin, and the old man will inform you of the details of the competition first." ”

As soon as these words came out, the scene fell silent again, and everyone's eyes fell on the central stone pillar.

After Shu Youjin's eyes swept around, he let go of his divine sense and explored in all directions for a while, then shook his head and sighed: "I thought that with the buffer of this hour, Brother Shi might be able to come in time, but now it seems that Brother Shi may have encountered something urgent." ”

Hearing this, Fang Zhen nodded silently.

"In this selection, there are a total of 74 candidates. Among them, among the children of the original Eight Desolation Ancient Clans, as well as the children of the famous families of my Tianhe Star Domain, according to their own strength and the preciousness of the congratulatory gifts submitted by the family, a total of ten people will be selected, and they can get two rounds of exemption from battle and directly advance to the last two rounds. Zhao Zhutong said loudly.

With that, with a wave of his palm, a golden light curtain immediately appeared in mid-air, on which ten names were written in the ancient seal font, among which were Fang Zhen's elder brother Fang Ce, and Di Xiang, the young master of the Earth Dragon Clan, who was known as the "Dragon and Phoenix Match" and was widely favored.

"What, and the right to be exempt from war?" Fang Zhen stared at Fang Ce's name and gritted his teeth.
