Shi Mu didn't care much about the opinion of outsiders, and Cai'er had already been stuffed into the spirit beast bag around his waist by him, otherwise with his character, he was afraid that he would not be able to help but cause trouble. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

He walked through the noisy crowd on his own, and in a short time came to a distance of ten feet from the huge ancient tree in the center of the clearing.

Although the surrounding area was bustling with people, there was still a large open space in front of the old tree, where a circular platform was piled up, which seemed to be made of some kind of special wood.

The giant tree in front of him was not too tall compared to the surrounding woods, but it also looked like three or four hundred zhang, the whole body was purple, and the main part was unusually thick, and it was erected there like a purple tower, pointing straight to the sky.

On its branches, countless vines cascade down like a waterfall, falling straight to the ground.

Shi Mu saw that the giant tree was growing strangely, and his heart moved, urging the spiritual vision.

As the golden light in his eyes flowed, the huge purple tree suddenly seemed to be close at hand, and the originally fine lines on the bark became extremely clear, and even one of the small streams of spiritual power could be seen continuously gathering from the ground through those vines.

Shi Mu saw that in the center of the trunk, the spiritual power gathered into a whirlpool, and faintly emitted faint spatial fluctuations in it.

Just when Shi Mu was a little fascinated, he suddenly felt a sense of divine consciousness swept over his body, and his heart suddenly jumped, and he suddenly felt like he was being seen through.

He hurriedly looked up, and saw that on the circular platform in front of the purple tree, there was an old man wearing a green robe with hanging eyebrows at some point.

The old man's beard was gray, but his face was as ruddy as a child's, and he was draped in a wide blue robe, which swayed gently with the breeze, and his clothes fluttered with a dusty temperament.

The old man with his eyebrows lowered seemed to just look around the scene, and at this moment he had looked away from the crowd, which made Shi Mu's heart feel a little relieved.

"Silence!" the old man with drooping eyebrows retracted his gaze and spoke.

The voice was not loud, but it was full of majesty, and it was clearly and unusually transmitted to the ears of everyone present, making the originally somewhat noisy crowd suddenly quiet, and everyone's eyes were attracted.

For a moment, the scene was silent, and the needle drop could be heard.

Shi Mu looked at the old man in the green robe, and a hint of thoughtfulness flashed on his face.

This old man is completely no different from the human race in appearance, and the aura on his body is hidden, but Shi Mu can still faintly feel the faint demonic aura on the other party's body.

In addition, the pattern embroidered on the chest of his green robe was a heavenly ancient tree, not the leaf pattern on most of the disciples of the Qinglan Holy Land, so he should have a high status in the Holy Land.

While thinking about it, the old man's voice sounded again:

"The old man is a sad bone, and he is the guiding elder of this new disciple trial. Qinglan Holy Land has been inherited for millions of years since the Qinglan Holy Ancestor opened the sect, according to the ancestral teachings, every ten years, the sect is opened, recruiting one hundred and eight disciples from the entire Miyang Star Domain, and according to the results of the trial, the top thirty-six are selected as the upper disciples, and the last seventy-two are the lower disciples. ”

Everyone listened quietly, no one spoke, and it was evident that they had already known what the old man had said, and did not feel that there was anything wrong with it.

After a pause, the old man continued:

"A total of 33,631 people have passed the guarantor qualification review this time. Before the trial officially began, the old man routinely asked that those who have the bloodline of heavenly beasts this time, or those who have first-class physique such as chaos and abyss, can come to the old man, and after confirming that they are correct, they will be directly exempted from the selection and included as a high-level disciple. ”

As soon as these words came out, the crowd at the scene, which was originally undisturbed, was in a commotion again, and there were bursts of sighs and discussions from time to time.

"Heavenly Beast Bloodline!"

Shi Mu was also shocked in his heart, and couldn't help but think of the White Ape Ancestor, but then smiled bitterly.

He was just lucky enough to obtain two wisps of essence blood from the White Ape Ancestor who was a Heavenly Beast, and he was not a real Heavenly Beast bloodline at all, unless his stone monkey bloodline could really evolve into the Heavenly Giant Ape bloodline as described by the White Ape Remnant Soul.

It's just that the other party also said that this probability is very small, but he naturally won't give up.

After a long time of incense, no one stood up to speak.

"Okay, since there is no one, then according to the usual practice, the old man will explain to you the rules and precautions for selecting disciples. The old man with his eyebrows didn't seem surprised by the situation at the scene, and continued to announce.

Shi Mu was in good spirits and immediately listened carefully.

"The trial will be held in the secret realm of the water sky and green mountains of this gate for a period of one month. Before you came, you had all obtained a Water Sky Jade Pendant and a Green Mountain Order. What you need to do is to enter the secret realm, hunt the demon beasts in the secret realm, and obtain their demon cores, which will be sucked into the Qingshan Order and converted into a certain number of points. At the end of the one-month period, the winners will be determined according to the ranking of the points in the Aoyama order. Note that the demon beasts in the secret realm are raised in a special way for this sect, and they will not produce spiritual intelligence, but their strength should not be underestimated. In this way, it also means that he voluntarily gives up his candidacy, and his Qingshan Order will remain in the secret realm. The old man said.

"Dare to ask Elder Sorrowful Bone, is it allowed to fight and rob each other in the secret realm?" Not far from the old man, a tall man with bruised skin and a height of nearly a foot opened his mouth full of fangs and asked.

As soon as the words fell, there was a round of boos around them, and many people showed sneer.

Although private fighting is not allowed in Qinglan City, there is no such restriction in the secret realm of Shuitian Qingshan at all. Everyone can fight each other to take the Qingshan Order from others and take the opponent's points for themselves. I Qinglan Holy Land only looks at the final result, and will not pursue the process. In addition, since there is a fight, it is natural to bear the casualties. The old man raised his eyebrows and said solemnly.

As a result of these words, the tall man with a blue complexion had a look of smuggling on his face, but among the surrounding crowd, there were still many people who showed a look of sudden realization, and many people even had a little panic in their eyes.

Shi Mu was not surprised by this, after all, the trial in which so many people participated, if they were not allowed to fight each other, it would be unreasonable.

In the secret realm, compared to the demon beasts that have little intelligence, the threat from the candidates will be greater.

"Okay, the old man who should talk about it has said it. Finally, I would like to remind you that the disciples selected by this sect must be a ground-level martial artist who has reached the age of 100 years old, or a cultivator genius who is a moon-level warlock. If you have used the secret technique of pills or other means to temporarily improve your cultivation, or if you are not of the same age and want to fish in troubled waters, the old man advises him to retreat early, and don't ask for hardship. The old man said as he lowered his eyebrows, his eyes slowly looking around.

In the crowd, even more than a dozen people left the crowd one after another.

However, most of the people's faces were full of excitement and eagerness.

"The hour is up!" the old man with his eyebrows lowered his eyebrows did not say anything more, and shouted.

With that, the old man's figure suddenly rose into the air, and turned upside down, facing the purple ancient tree that was three or four hundred feet tall.

His eyes suddenly glowed blue, and he raised his hands, and his ten fingers changed like wheels in front of his chest, and one after another shot out and disappeared into the purple ancient tree.

With the submersion of the law, the surface of the originally seemingly peaceful purple ancient tree suddenly lit up, and quickly spread along the roots of the tree to the thick trunk of the tree, until the waterfall-like vines were dyed with a layer of crystal purple light.

Seeing this, the old man with drooping eyebrows opened his mouth, and a triangular pyramid-shaped bronze key flew out of his mouth.

The key slowly floated above the old man's head, lit up with a burst of purple light, and then turned into a purple light, shooting into the purple giant tree behind the old man, and disappeared without a trace.

"Buzz"

With a burst of strong spiritual power fluctuations, the purple vines that floated down like a waterfall slowly swirled and became blurred until they disappeared, forming a huge purple vortex.

There was a sudden spatial fluctuation in the center of the whirlpool, and then under a distortion and blurring on the surface of the purple giant tree, a huge spatial door covering almost the entire trunk of the tree suddenly appeared, and a blur was in the door, and strong spatial fluctuations came out from it.

"Entry!"

As the old man with his eyebrows shouted, there was immediately a sound of breaking the air around him, and thousands of figures rushed to fly away and rushed towards the huge space door.

The moment these people touched the huge space door, they flashed in one after another like mud cows entering the sea, and disappeared without a trace.

Immediately after, there were several screams!

The moment seven or eight people entered the space gate, their bodies were shrouded in a cloud of purple light, and then the whole person burst into a cloud of blood mist.

Shi Mu's eyes flashed with golden light, and when he saw this scene in his eyes, he was shocked in his heart.

Obviously, these people are the ones who fished in troubled waters that the old man said before, they all improved their realm through secret arts, and they wanted to blend into the secret realm, but because they were attacked by some kind of prohibition in the secret realm, they died at the entrance, and the end was quite miserable.

The violent sound of tens of thousands of people surging through the air, as well as the humming sound coming from the space, quickly suppressed those few screams, and the remaining people still rushed towards the space door.

A body of different shapes converged into a huge torrent, surging towards the huge space gate where the purple ancient tree was, and the scene was quite spectacular.

Shi Mu observed for a moment, and was about to jump in, when he suddenly turned his head as if he had a feeling, looked in a direction not far away, and immediately saw several figures.

Two of them, young men and women of the demon clan with red hair and red robes, were somewhat familiar.

The red-haired girl has picturesque eyebrows and a graceful figure, and the young man of the demon clan is Ma Lie, who has clashed with him before and covets Cai'er.

The red-haired girl didn't look here, but Na Ma Lie was looking over, and after seeing Shi Mu turn his head, he didn't show the slightest color, and smiled at Shi Mu.

But then, at the urging of the girl beside him, several figures jumped up and flew towards the space gate.

However, the red-haired girl suddenly turned her head and glanced at Shi Mu the moment before entering the space gate, but then her figure flickered and disappeared into the space gate.

Shi Mu looked at the disappeared figures of several people, smiled slightly, and also flew forward. (To be continued.) )
