Chapter 89: Cruelty
The blood-colored trial was held in a secret realm of the Sword Sect, which was equivalent to a closed small world.
Every time there is a trial, at least nearly 10,000 monks participate, for half a year, this half a year, not only to come out of it alive, but also to hand in three blood refining tokens, before you can really complete the trial and become a disciple of the Sword Sect.
That is to say, each monk, in addition to his own blood refining token, has to deprive at least two other monks of the blood refining token, and this process is often ...... Never die.
Moreover, the Sword Sect also ranks according to the number of blood refining tokens obtained.
Since the previous editions, they have ranked first, and they can get one million spirit stones and one Zhuji Dan.
This reward is so rich, Brother Dan will also be red-eyed, and Brother Zhuji is afraid that he will fall into madness.
And the second place can get 500,000 spirit stones.
Third place, 300,000 spirit stones.
The rest of the people can exchange a blood refining token for a thousand spirit stones as a reward.
That's it, it's just an extra bonus for those who make it to the trials alive. For example, the top three practitioners can also obtain at least hundreds of blood refining tokens, and if they can pocket all the belongings of hundreds of dead monks, and exchange them for spirit stones, there will be at least one million, which can be said to be a windfall.
This aroused the ferocity of many monks, and even, during the trial, they would go on a killing spree as soon as they met.
It can be said that during this trial period, the entire secret realm has become a human purgatory Shura field, killing monstrous, full of endless dangers, and finally being able to have the last laugh and become a disciple of the Sword Sect, over the years, has never exceeded two thousand, and the others are ...... All dead!
The word blood is the truest embodiment of this trial.
Although the trial was cruel, however, all the monks who felt that they had some means would participate, and almost all of them were scattered and wandering, not only busy with cultivation, but also earning spirit stones and looking for various resources, which was very detrimental to their own development. If you can join the Sword Sect, you will not only have a sect to rely on, but also a variety of resources, which will be of great benefit to your cultivation.
Even if it is not for the purpose of joining the Sword Sect and killing people in the trial, you can have no scruples and make a fortune from the dead.
This is also another reason why many monks participate in blood refining.
Through Xu An's understanding, Ding Yan finally had a more comprehensive understanding of the situation of the blood trial.
Nearly 10,000 monks participated, but less than 2,000 survived in the end, which was a bloody road to death.
Ding Yan became extremely serious, he originally thought that the trial would be relatively simple, with his current strength, it should not be difficult to complete the trial, after all, his cultivation is profound, it is comparable to the late stage of the ninth layer of qi training, even in the face of the late stage of the ninth layer of qi training, if he fights alone, he can protect himself, and there is even a great possibility, he can kill the other party, and under the foundation, he can almost run rampant.
But now, the cruelty of the trial is beyond his imagination.
This made Ding Yan's heart feel some pressure.
However, this pressure, that is, some, prompted him to take the matter seriously, but ...... There is no fear at all.
"I just broke through the eighth layer of Qi training, there is still a lot of space from the ninth layer of Qi training, twenty Qingling pills here, can help me cultivate by leaps and bounds, the more this trial goes, the more beneficial it is to me, if I can break through to the ninth layer of Qi cultivation in this trial,...... Ding Yan whispered to himself in his heart, and the light in his eyes flashed.
It didn't take long for a few Sword Sect disciples to take away the jade slips, under their leadership, Ding Yan, Xu An, and many trialists, nearly 10,000 people, came to a square.
In front of this square is a high platform, and in front of it, there is an earthen mountain, which is also surrounded by mountains on both sides, and at this moment, around the mountains on both sides, many young monks of the Sword Sect have come, and they are all very curious to look here.
Ding Yan and nearly 10,000 other trialists, according to the requirements, lined up here into ten long phalanxes.
At this moment, everyone only felt a flower in front of them, and suddenly, an old man appeared on the high platform, wearing a green robe, in good spirits, he lifted his hem, took a step forward, and swept his eyes below.
"Fellow Daoists, this trial is presided over by the old man, the process and rules of the trial are the same as in previous sessions, I think you can come to participate in the trial, you should have made all the preparations, and you know these very well, so I won't say much here." The old man in the green robe said loudly, "Finally, I hope that you can successfully complete the trial and become a member of my Sword Sect......"
The old man in the green robe didn't say much, and after speaking, he sat down on the side.
Immediately afterwards, the ten Sword Sect monks in the foundation building period walked up to the high platform, corresponding to each phalanx below, and there was a table in front of them, on which was a spherical magic weapon for testing cultivation.
This is in full view of the public, to ensure that the monks participating in the trial are under the foundation.
Then, one after another, the practitioners walked up to the high platform, and when their hands pressed on the spherical magic weapon, the spherical magic weapon flashed brightly, and above it, a spherical reflection would appear, which looked like a purple ball of light, from the bottom to the top, one after the other, a total of nine appeared, representing the nine layers of Qi training.
For many practitioners, there is no difference between the first eight balls of light, which is very complete, but the ninth ball of light is different, some are slightly dim, and some are more solid.
"This monk is probably in the late stage of the ninth layer of Qi cultivation, if you encounter it in the future, you should be careful......"
"This female cultivator should be in the middle of the ninth layer of Qi cultivation......"
"This old man described him as withered, his qi and blood decayed, and his cultivation was only in the early stage of the ninth layer of qi training, so he didn't spend his old age at home well, and he actually came to participate in the trial, which was simply looking for death."
"This young man looks plain and bland, he has actually reached the level of the peak of the ninth layer of Qi training, terrifying, I hope I don't meet him during the trial......"
The test process on the high platform, the audience could see it clearly, and they all whispered to each other about their cultivation and made evaluations.
An hour later, it was finally Ding Yan's turn, and when he walked up to the high platform and pressed his palm on the ball, he felt a warm current meet in his palm, and then the purple ball of light appeared.
One, two, three...... Seven, eight!
But then, in the gaze of many monks in the audience, the ninth ball of light that should have appeared in their expectation did not appear at this time!
The monks, who opened their mouths and were ready to make an evaluation at any moment, suddenly their throats seemed to be stuck, and their mouths were open, but they could not speak.
Unexpectedly, this made the audience at this moment slightly quiet, which formed a strong contrast with the atmosphere of the previous moment.
Moments later......
"Am I not mistaken, it seems that there are only eight balls of light?"
"Eight Layers of Qi Training???"
"This can't be, it must be that the test ball is broken!"
The cultivators in the audience expressed deep doubts about the results they had seen with their own eyes.
Similarly, the Zhuji monk who was in charge of this matter next to him, looking at everyone's cookie-cutter test, was already a little numb and absent-minded, at this time, after looking at Ding Yan's test, there were only eight light balls, he was stunned for a moment, subconsciously, he still waited for a while, but after a while, he still didn't see the appearance of the ninth light ball, and he was suddenly surprised.
"Boy, this is a broken test ball, so don't be confused, don't be surprised, I have a spare one here, wait a minute, you can test it again." The foundation building monk with thick eyebrows, regardless of Ding Yan's reaction, quickly unloaded the test ball, took out another test ball from the storage bag, and reloaded it.
"You test it again!" The thick-eyebrow monk said to Ding Yan.
Ding Yan had some doubts in his heart, but he still followed his words, pressed his palm on the test ball, and eight balls of light appeared in turn.
"This test ball is broken!" The thick-eyebrow monk looked stunned, feeling very surprised, and counted it twice, confirming that there were only eight balls of light.
"It doesn't make sense!" The thick-eyebrow monk muttered, and then saw Xu An behind Ding Yan, "Junior, you come and test it." ”
Xu An stepped forward and pressed his palm on the test ball, and nine balls of light appeared one by one.
"At the beginning of the ninth layer of Qi training, it's not broken!" The thick-eyebrow monk counted them, and determined that they were nine balls of light, and his expression was puzzled.
Looking at the reaction of the thick-eyebrow monk, Ding Yan suddenly realized, coughed dryly, and said, "Senior, I'm ...... Eight layers of qi training! ”
"What is the eighth layer of Qi training?" The thick-eyebrow monk didn't understand for a moment, and his expression was dazed.
After a pause, he seemed to wake up, his eyes widened instantly, full of incredulity, and he exclaimed: "You...... What are you talking about, it's just the eighth-level cultivation of Qi cultivation? ”
This voice echoed throughout the square, full of shock, making Ding Yan's phalanx quiet, and the other nine phalanxes, all of them were silent at this moment, and they even turned their heads one after another, looking at Ding Yan, all eyes were focused on him.
The thick-eyebrow monk was a little incredulous, and subconsciously released his divine sense, wanting to see through Ding Yan's cultivation, but as a result, under his divine sense, Ding Yan seemed to be a mortal, and there was no fluctuation in his cultivation, which surprised him.
It must be known that he has built a foundation and cultivated and has divine sense, if what Ding Yan said is true, and he has practiced the eighth layer of qi, he should be able to easily see through it, but the fact is the opposite, he ...... Can't see through!
At the same time, the old man in the green robe, who was in charge of presiding over the trial, closed his eyes and pretended to sleep, and at this time, his eyes suddenly opened and closed......
The next moment, Ding Yan felt that the air around him suddenly tightened, and a majestic divine sense descended, which felt as if he was being targeted by an ancient beast, which made Ding Yan feel terrified.
But it was just an instant, the divine consciousness left, and that feeling disappeared, which made Ding Yan secretly breathe a sigh of relief, and all this returned to normal, at the same time, the old man in the green robe spoke, and his words spread all around: "Eight layers of qi training, no mistake." ”
As soon as these words came out, they were thrown like pebbles into the surface of a lake, causing a stir.
"He really ...... It's just the eighth layer of Qi training! Someone took a deep breath.
"His eighth ball of light is dim, and he is in the early stage of the eighth layer of qi cultivation......"
"At the beginning of the eighth layer of Qi training, he ...... It's looking for death! ”
