Chapter 1: The Yellow Springs Tornado
This is a dark world covered by thick fog, revealing depression everywhere, there is no sun and moon here, there are no stars, a little light in the haze, and it is only when you look closely that you know that it is the soul-attracting lamp in the hands of hundreds of soul-detaining envoys. More than 10,000 ghosts were escorted by the soul detainees, slowly drifting on the Huangquan Road.
Huangquan Road is hidden in the endless dense fog, if it were not for the black and white impermanence leading the way, it would be impossible to detect that there is a road under your feet, and what exists on both sides of Huangquan Road seems to have never been explored.
In one more hour, they will arrive at the entrance of the underworld, and the black and white impermanence breathe a sigh of relief slightly, collecting ghosts everywhere, and escorting such a large number of ghosts to walk this thousand miles of Huangquan Road, which makes them really a little tired.
Suddenly, a whirlwind broke the peace of the area, and the black and white impermanence was a little surprised, this strange vision only appeared once every hundred years, but it seemed that there were still a few days left before this hundred years period, and they were also in a hurry to escort this group of ghosts back under the order of the lord of the underworld. Seeing this vision, although the two of them had some heart palpitations, they were not sure if it was a once-in-a-century vision, so they immediately ordered the soul detaining envoys to disperse and control more than 10,000 ghosts.
The wind swept through the thick fog, the whole world seemed to become brighter, the whirlwind slowly approached, and the tearing force became bigger and bigger, when the black and white impermanence finally saw that this whirlwind was a more terrifying tornado, it was too late to dodge, and there was nowhere to hide, the mana and body that were proud of it on weekdays were completely useless at the moment, the tornado was raging to show the great power of nature, more than 10,000 ghosts and hundreds of soul envoys were at the mercy of the tornado, and black and white impermanence also silently closed his eyes.
There is a miracle of survival called ten deaths, and there is an incredible vision called weirdness. When the black and white impermanence and hundreds of soul arresters thought that their souls would be scattered, the whirlwind of the tornado gradually faded away, and when they opened their eyes, they found that they were still standing in place, but the soul chains in the hands of many people were empty, and the inspection found that there were two ghosts in ten thousand ghosts without a trace of them.
Long Yu is one of the two ghosts that disappeared, the moment the binding of the soul chain disappeared, his consciousness slowly recovered, he felt his ethereal body was broken in the continuous high-speed rotation, but he didn't feel the pain at all, he wanted to roar, but the wail of another ghost sounded in his ears, he wanted to protect his broken body, but he was unable to break free of a huge bondage, gradually, he gave up, let his body be broken, let the wind whirlwind, but hold on to the last trace of his residual consciousness.
"Who am I, and where am I from?"
"By the way, I seem to be the eldest grandson of the Eshan Dragon family in the Heavenly Spirit Continent, my name is Long Yu. β
"When I was two years old, my father Long Zhanchen disappeared mysteriously, hey, why can't I remember what happened after I was two years old, why am I here? I seem to be dead, but how did I die? What the hell happened? Am I going to be like this?"
I don't know how long it took, and I don't know how long it was swept by the tornado, Long Yu felt swept away by the tornado for a long time, as if he had encountered some obstacles, and then was squeezed into a narrow crack, the wind gradually weakened, and at the moment when he and another ghost were about to dissipate, the broken body finally stopped, and Long Yu's last trace of clarity also made him perceive that it seemed to have fallen on some ground, and before he opened his eyes, he heard countless weak ** sounds and numb sighs beside him.
"Hey, there are two more, I can't remember how many times I've been so suddenly awake, I don't know how long it will take for such a day, hey!"
Long Yu tried to open his eyes to see where he had come and what was going on around him? Suddenly, four bright rays of light shrouded him from all directions, the light was dazzling, and then he felt his broken body slowly recover in the light, he wanted to struggle, but the light blossom evolved into a light rope that bound him firmly, making him unable to move. He felt as if something in his body was disappearing, as if something had entered his body that was recovering, but he didn't feel the slightest pain or discomfort, and something in his consciousness was slowly disappearing.
When he felt the surrounding scene again, Long Yu found that he and another ghost were standing in an empty square, and there were nine light shields around them, and there were many wandering ghosts like them, these ghosts were all humanoid light bodies with vague appearances like them, and the sigh just now was from the surrounding ghosts, and there were four ten-meter-high illusory towers in the four directions of the south, east, west, and northwest, and there was a white-haired white-bearded old man sitting on each of themγ
"Old guys, the ghost selection is finally over, after nearly 10,000 years, we have finally succeeded in collecting a full 10,000 qualified ghosts, and our mission is about to come to an end. The old man sitting on the high platform on the east side of the empty square said slowly, his voice didn't seem to be loud, but he could make all the people in the square hear clearly, looking at the ten thousand ghosts in the square, his eyes were full of anticipation, and there was also some faint worry.
"Yuntian's decision 10,000 years ago was made through the deduction of the Heavenly Dao, we should believe him, these 10,000 ghosts all have the remnant soul of the Heavenly Emperor of the Dragon Clan, although it is extremely thin, but the final winner will be very likely to become the Lord of Yuntian, so as to break through the shackles and reproduce the glory of Yuntian in the Dragon Domain back then!" The old man on the high platform in the south recalled the glory of the Yuntian Emperor in the past, and the eyes that had been silent for ten thousand years burst out with a light full of expectations.
"Yes, we should believe in the earth-shattering Jedi of Yuntian, he must have made careful arrangements for everything, we don't have to worry too much, I hope that in my lifetime, I can return to the remnants of the body and witness the rise of a new generation of emperors in the capital of Yuntian Emperor. Next, let's test them according to Yuntian's arrangement!"
After the old man on the eastern high platform finished speaking, the other three old men nodded their heads in agreement.
The four of them drew a series of magic seals with their hands at the same time, gathered together in the sky above the square, and then poured down towards the ten thousand ghosts on the square, for a while, the ten thousand ghosts on the square wailed, countless points of light swayed and fluttered around, it seemed to be very painful, Long Yu felt that his body was slowly losing control, and even the broken body that had just recovered seemed to be about to break away, fortunately, this pain did not last long, about the tea cup kung fu, the pain disappeared, and the body seemed to be transformed, indescribably refreshing.
"You were not more than fifteen years old when you died, after our divine light reshaped your body just now, any of your previous cultivation was wiped out, and you have become an ordinary person, still just an illusory body, if you have the opportunity to reshape your physical body, then your age will also return to the age when you died, you are all in the golden age of the beginning of martial arts, now you may only remember your own name, other than that, there is a blank. β
After speaking, the old man in the east put his hands behind his back and looked at the ghosts in the audience.
The old man's reshaping of the body made many ghosts excited, they all thought that what was waiting for them would be the soul scattered, but they didn't expect that there was a chance to choose to start again, most of the ghosts seemed to have been numb after thousands of years of waiting, but they couldn't help but tremble in their bodies.
"Of course, if you want to reshape your physical body, it is not that easy, you need to go through four levels of testing, and the vast majority of your ghosts are destined to become the prey of the final victor, and the final result will be that your soul will fly away and become pure soul power..."
Knowing that the final result might still be scattered, some of the 10,000 ghosts in the square shook their heads and sighed, some silently thought about the next test, and some even wanted to escape, but as soon as their bodies touched the light curtain, they turned into nothingness, and they didn't even have time to scream.
When the old man saw the scenes in the square, he didn't have any expression, but continued: "Any struggle you have is in vain, and you have only one mission when you come here, either to stand out or to become the victor. We will not answer any questions in your mind, all you have to do is to do your best to pass the next test!"
Long Yu could feel that his consciousness was really blank as the old man said, like a newborn baby, the only thing he knew was his name Long Yu, and when he was thinking about what the next test was, the old man's voice sounded again.
"The test for you is divided into four levels, the first level, the test is your natural understanding, only those who enter the top four thousand can have the qualification to obtain the second level of the test, the ghost who loses the qualification will be transformed into pure soul power, according to the level of understanding, the higher the understanding, the more soul power you get, the greater the help for the later tests. β
"The second level is a test of ruthless killing, plundering other people's soul power through killing, and only twenty of you in this second level can be so lucky to qualify for the next level of testing. The third level of the soul mill will test your tenacity. The fourth level is the Soul Tower, which tests your ability to endure, and the three people with the best grades in the end will be qualified for rebirth, and through the Soul Reversal Dafa, they will reshape their physical bodies and be qualified to continue to write your glory. β
"Your starting point is the same and different, the same is your form, and the difference is your innate understanding when you were alive. Next, whether you can get the chance to be reborn will be to compete with your talent, perseverance and ruthlessness, and after a while, there will be a technique called "Soul Power Sutra" and the basic swordsmanship "Ten Styles of Falling Leaves" on the soul tablet in the square, and you will be separated from each other for a month, and then tested, and the low-level ones will be eliminated. In addition, I can also remind you in advance that soul power is your soul after rebirth, the stronger the soul, not only will it be of great help to the later tests, but it will also be of great help to cultivate the secret method of martial arts in the future, and at the same time, there is a greater chance to become a supreme powerhouse. β
"In the competition, you can only use the moves in the "Ten Styles of Falling Leaves", of course, you can also use all other means, you must remember that in the Cloud Capital Domain, you never sympathize with the weak, only the strong can survive. You had a good foundation in martial arts in your previous life, and we just want to select the best geniuses under the same conditions among you. β
