The mountains are silent, and a clear sunlight cuts through the stratus clouds and pours into the lush forest.

More than 60 teenagers stood in front of a quaint wordless stone monument. The stele was about two people high, and the four corners were each carried by a stone beast with a turtle body and a dragon's head, and at this time, under the illumination of that ray of sunlight, a faint cyan light was revealed.

In front of the teenagers, there stood several elders with solemn faces, and another young man with a handsome face. This young man was wearing a cloud weaving robe, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, and his temperament was as humble as a bamboo. But the elders beside him were all contemplating, their eyes showing awe, and they faintly took him as the leader when they walked.

This young man is Xie Changheng, who was sent here by the Cloud Mirror Sect to select disciples.

Thinking of a secret conversation between his father and mother and him in the cave before leaving, Xie Changheng's breath became a little shorter. Wen Wen's face couldn't help but show a hint of eagerness.

His father and mother are both elders who guard the veins in the Cloud Mirror Sect, and since he was a child, he has used the spiritual fire stones of Kunpeng Mountain to nourish the meridians in his body. And his own comprehension and talent are also excellent, since he entered the inner door, in the sect martial arts, in one fell swoop, defeated twenty-six inner disciples, won the first place. In this way, he was accepted as a true disciple by the head of the sect unusually, and everyone in the sect had high hopes for him, hoping that he would cultivate the five turns as soon as possible and refine the mortal body.

He had heard that Uncle Shen's five-turn immortal sword Qingzhu Zhensha Sword did not explode with the master, but was trapped in Jiang's village by Uncle Qiu, who rushed there later, with a lock spirit array.

This Lock Spirit Array is an extremely domineering formation made of Xuantie chains, anti-evil charms, and the blood of the Fuze Ice Python. It is used to kill the spirit of the immortal weapon.

Five hundred years have passed, and the spirit of the sword has probably died in the erosion of blood and qi. When the machine spirit dies, you only need to bring this sword back to the sect and bury it in the burial vessel valley, you can erase the will of the original owner in the magic weapon, and completely turn this sword into an ownerless sword.

Xie Changheng has been in the inner door for many years, but he has never gone to the Burial Vessel Valley to select weapons, in order to wait for a real divine soldier.

With such a thought in his heart, Xie Changheng's face became more and more warm. He turned his head to look at the young men behind him who were breathing heavily and looked excited, and said in a loud voice: "Today's fire worship ceremony is the first step for you to step into the path of cultivation. It's immortal or mortal, look at this moment! ”

As soon as these words came out, the teenagers' eyes suddenly widened, and their hearts beat like drums.

Jiang Changxu glanced at Xie Changheng beside him lightly, and his heart was filled with unwillingness and shame.

He gently rubbed the broken little finger, many years ago, it was Xie Changheng's father who cut off half of his little finger with a sword, and insulted him for not being worthy of a sword.

Now, his son is just like him back then, with a gentle face, but there is an empty arrogance in his eyes.

Jiang Changxu suddenly withdrew his gaze, and he spoke, his voice calm, as if the previous ups and downs of his heart were just a cluster of waves that occasionally splashed in his heart.

But only he understands that under this calm heart, there is a bitter hatred.

"Come with me." Jiang Changxu took a step forward and stood with Xie Changheng.

He dipped his finger lightly into the green skin bamboo tube hanging by his side, and a small piece of vermilion immediately blurred on his fingertips.

Jiang Changxu took a step forward, and his fingertips quickly clicked on the stone tablet.

The cinnabar on the fingertips immediately sank into the small groove on the stele, and the next moment, a little star suddenly shot out from the place where the cinnabar was pointed, and a few pale cyan lines appeared on the stele. These points are like stars, Jiang Yunqi was about to take a closer look, and suddenly found that half of Jiang Changxu's body had been submerged in the stone tablet.

Jiang Yunqi's eyes widened, what did Jiang Changxu do to pass through the stele like this?

He stole a glance at the teenagers around him, but saw that everyone's faces were as usual, and they didn't seem to notice anything wrong.

What made Jiang Yunqi even more suspicious was that the young men standing in front of him also walked to the stele one by one, dipped it in cinnabar and dotted it on the stele, and then stepped forward through the stele.

Jiang Yunqi felt that he needed to watch a news broadcast.

His palms were slightly cold, and he didn't know what to do for a while.

This kind of moment is the time to test the acting skills of the traversers. Although he couldn't figure out the situation in front of him at all, Jiang Yunqi still walked calmly to the stele.

As soon as he walked to the stone tablet, Jiang Yunqi breathed heavily. He thought that the stone tablet would leave some mark of cinnabar, but the scene in front of him shattered his illusions.

All the cinnabar that everyone had ordered before was submerged into the stone tablet!

The surrounding teenagers were already impatient, and shouted one after another: "Jiang Yunchi, you should hurry up!" ”

That Xie Changheng also set his eyes on Jiang Yunqi, his eyes showing puzzlement.

Jiang Yunqi's palms were full of sweat, and at this moment he really hoped that the system could give him some hints, but the system seemed to have completely turned off the accessibility function.

Closing his eyes fiercely, Jiang Yunqi stretched out his hand and pointed towards the stone tablet.

"Attack the right."

A voice suddenly sounded in his head, which made Jiang Yunqi slightly startled.

This voice seems to be Shen Junyuan? Jiang Yunqi's eyes lit up, and he remembered that the two seemed to be able to get a glimpse of each other's fighting thoughts.

Jiang Yunqi's fingers paused slightly, and moved to the right.

"Capture."

"Kill."

A concise and vigorous voice resounded in Jiang Yunqi's heart, and he replaced what Shen Junyuan said with the corresponding position, and finally hit the groove on the stone tablet.

On the stele, Jiang Yunqi gritted his teeth and took a step forward.

Bang.

There was a sound of stepping on the stone ground from the soles of his feet, and Jiang Yunqi opened his eyes and found that he had come to a majestic hall.

On both sides of this hall stand more than a dozen long candles one person high, and the fire is clear, making this underground hall as bright as day.

In the center of the main hall is a bronze round platform that rises above the ground. There are many strange patterns carved around the platform by means of clear carving. Jiang Yunqi looked at it carefully, and identified some familiar mountain beasts from the pattern, as well as some strange-looking flowers and plants.

"Look, that's the platform used to worship the fire, I heard my father and mother say that the carvings on it are all the heavenly fires that have appeared in the world......"

"I don't know who can get the ...... of the Heavenly Fire"

The teenagers below were talking, and their eyes were shining.

Jiang Changxu, who was standing in front, coughed, his eyes slowly swept over the young man present, and said slowly: "Do you know what is earth fire and what is sky fire?" ”

"The earth fire is gradually nourished by absorbing the fire in the flint, but the sky fire is a special-shaped fire!" As soon as Jiang Changxu's words fell, a teenager rushed to answer.

"You're right, but the biggest difference between the Heavenly Fire and the Earth Fire is that the Earth Fire is used less and less, and it is necessary to absorb flints from time to time to replenish the fire energy in the Dan Aperture. And the heavenly fire has a spirit and will evolve on its own. Every time the fire is exhausted, even if you don't replenish the flint, you can slowly cultivate the fire in the Dan Aperture by yourself. Jiang Changxu paused, and then said: "The refining realm is divided into five turns, and only those who have the heavenly fire can refine immortal weapons. This is because refining immortal weapons requires a large amount of fire energy, and refining tools needs to be done in one go. If you only have earth fire, you have to replenish the flint halfway through refining, and you will naturally not be able to refine the immortal weapon. ”

Jiang Yunqi listened very seriously, and his brows gradually furrowed.

He had long known that there would be a division of qualifications in the cultivation-world, but he didn't expect that the qualifications in this world would have such a big restriction on cultivation!

According to the meaning of Jiang Changxu's words, it is impossible for a person who only has earth fire to reach the cultivation level in his entire life.

Jiang Yunqi raised his head and looked at Jiang Changxu with a solemn expression. I don't know if it's an illusion, he always feels that when Jiang Changxu mentioned Tianhuo, the gaze that looked at him had a deep meaning. This gaze did not look like the ardent expectation of the elders for the younger generations, but a little cold and chilly.

waved away this inexplicable thought, and Jiang Yunchi's heart was also filled with a trace of nervousness.

I don't know what kind of qualifications this body is, if he really has Heavenly Fire, then his cultivation path will be smoother.

Jiang Changxu calmly looked at the excited teenagers, but from time to time he put a wisp of his mind on Jiang Yunqi's body.

As he said, refining immortal weapons requires heavenly fire. If Jiang Yunqi is really the body of heavenly fire, then according to the hint of Lingxi Yan, there is □□ chance that this sword thief will be him.

Jiang Changxu did not move, intending to wait and see what happened. He took out the roster, named a random person, and asked him to come forward and worship the fire.

"Jiang Yunfan!"

"Yes!" A burly young man came out in response, his face was covered with sweat, his hands and feet trembled, and he finally climbed on the stage with half his body, but because he was too nervous, the whole person fell down.

The teenagers laughed, and the solemn atmosphere in the ceremony suddenly eased.

Jiang Yunfan rubbed his hands and climbed onto the stage again. He closed his eyes heavily, and pressed his hand to a red cobblestone embedded in the center of the platform.

As soon as his hand touched the cobblestone, he sensed a huge suction force that sucked all the spiritual energy out of his body.

This force was extremely domineering, almost draining all the spiritual energy in his meridians. His two thick arms trembled slightly, and cold sweat broke out in pain.

In the blink of an eye, most of the aura in his body was submerged into the red cobblestone.

The next moment, on the originally dim bronze round platform, a ray of golden light suddenly bloomed!

"There it is! Look! ”

"Oh my God, it's the Tiger King, could it be that Jiang Yunfan is the body of heavenly fire ......!"

The teenagers' eyes widened in shock, and their faces were shocked and envious. I saw that with the influx of spiritual energy, the golden light on the edge of the round platform flowed, slowly outlining a fierce tiger that shook the mountains and forests.

Jiang Yunfan listened to the discussion of the teenagers, gritted his teeth and struggled to support it.

"Ah......h Seeing that the tiger was about to be completely revealed, Jiang Yunfan couldn't hold on any longer. His roar suddenly sharpened, and his eyes were red.

"That's enough, stop!" Jiang Changxu frowned and yelled loudly at the stage.

"No, no...... Heavenly fire, I want heavenly fire! Jiang Yunfan muttered, and five fingers almost inserted into the red round stone. The veins on his neck bulged, and his body trembled like a lonely branch in the cold wind.

Poof.

The terrible roar suddenly stopped. Jiang Yunfan fell heavily on the stage, his body curled up, and his two hands pressed tightly on his abdomen.

The brilliance on the round platform gradually dimmed, and the tiger that seemed to be about to take shape also returned to its original dusty state.

Jiang Changxu took a step forward, bent down to probe Jiang Yunfan's Dan Aperture, shook his head, and sighed: "It's a pity, the Dan Aperture is useless." ”

Seeing this scene, the teenagers were all palpitating.

Jiang Changxu's tone changed sharply, and his sharp gaze swept towards the young man present: "Qualifications are determined by heaven, and they cannot be forced." If the spiritual energy in the body is exhausted, it must be stopped in time. Otherwise, as soon as the Dan is wasted, he will be completely reduced to a mortal! ”

The teenagers were so frightened that their faces turned dirty, and they secretly vowed to stop as soon as the spiritual energy in their bodies was exhausted.

Heavenly Fire is certainly precious, but if it is to become a waste person who cannot cultivate in order to obtain Heavenly Fire, it is undesirable for everyone.

"Next...... Jiang Yunchi! Jiang Changxu looked at Jiang Yunqi with a deep look in his eyes, staring closely at his every movement.

All the teenagers also looked at the altar with bated breath.

Jiang Yunchi, Jiang Jiazhai is the most likely person to get the heavenly fire!

There was a deliberate low gasping sound of teenagers in his ears, and Jiang Yunqi walked towards the platform with a leisurely gait, but his heart was not as calm as his face.

Sky fire, sky fire.

Silently chanting these two words, Jiang Yunqi knelt on the ground and put his hand on the red round stone.

However, one breath, two breaths...... I don't know how long it has been, but there is not a trace of light on the platform.

In the silence, the crowd suddenly exploded.

"How is it possible, Jiang Yunqi can absorb flint at the age of seven, and this platform is not even bright?"

"Could it be that his qualifications are not as good as Jiang Yunfan......"

All kinds of surprises were mixed with many words of jealousy.

"Hmph, every time there is an issue in the clan, he gets the most, but he turns out to be just a person with mediocre qualifications!"

"Alas, the so-called genius is nothing more than that......"

Jiang Yunqi poured aura into the red cobblestone with an expressionless face, and all kinds of voices from behind him, whether regretful, mocking, or indifferent, failed to move him.

If you look closely, you can find that Jiang Yunchi's face is twitching slightly, and the whole person seems to have fallen into a desperate dead silence.

However, only Jiang Yunqi himself could know that the reason why he was so shocked was because of the aura that was pouring into the red cobblestone from his palm.

Jiang Yunfan only lasted forty breaths before exhausting the aura in his body. And every time the aura gushed out, his expression was in great pain.

But Jiang Yunqi was surprised to find that the aura in his body was like an inexhaustible river, no matter how much it gushed out, it would immediately come in a large amount of aura to replenish it.

"Fifty breaths......" The teenagers stopped talking and looked at Jiang Yunqi on the stage who was trying his best to hold back the pain just to leave the last trace of dignity for himself.

"Sixty breaths...... there are already people under the look of unbearable, and Jiang Yunqi is too pitiful, knowing that there is no hope, but he still has to struggle.

Jiang Changxu waved his long sleeves and waved Jiang Yunchi's hand away from the red stone. At this time, he was already convinced that this Jiang Yunqi could never be a sword thief.
