Chapter 14: The Heavenly Test (4)

The southwest region of the Cangyin Continent is located at the confluence of the three rivers, with a vast water surface and a connection to the sea. The water ripples, the walls are natural, and the greenery is long. The water is deep and rapid, and the turbulence is endless.

In the center of this vast expanse of water, stands an isolated island. The island stands in the center of the vortex and is surrounded by water; The island is reborn with obstacles, vigorous plants, and wild beasts, and is inaccessible to people.

However, this nameless island has now welcomed many explorers. There are two steps along the edge of the island, and there are many elite soldiers of the imperial family, and the only flat open space is where the elders of the major families and the non-appropriate age cultivators with outstanding abilities are stationed to supervise and maintain the order of the entire assessment. All the young and aspiring immortal cultivators on the Cangyin Continent are standing here, waiting for the most powerful and serious trial assessment on the Cangyin Continent for more than ten years, the Qingtian Trial.

There are ships of different sizes docked on the island, and as long as the disciples who fail the assessment are sent to the ship and return to their families.

However, although these ships vary in size, they are all family ships of major families, so they are very recognizable. For example, the emblem of the Bai clan - a bright yellow base, a beautiful and delicate phoenix flower; Chu clan emblem - a blue bottom, a dragon beast that treads the waves and plays in the water; The Imperial City of Hejia - a brown bottom, domineering Gou Chen Divine Beast; Xuanling Yun Clan - Under the white cloud and golden sun, a phoenix is coming from the fire. Even the lesser-known small sects will hang the clan emblem on the mast of the ship to show their status.

"Hey, it seems that the Gu clan really didn't send anyone here." A young immortal cultivator who was looking forward to seeing his idol, the young master of the ancient clan, sighed regretfully after looking around and making sure that he had not found the clan emblem of the ancient clan.

"In the Heavenly Demon War seventeen years ago, the Gu Clan spent a lot of energy and vitality, so their whereabouts became even more erratic, and I am afraid that this time I will not be able to bear this responsibility anymore." Another immortal cultivator also searched for it extremely seriously and echoed.

At this time, Yun Lingxiu quietly came to the gossip center, patted the shoulder of the young man who was sighing, and smiled, "This brother, I just listened to you count the young heroes of the younger generation, I don't know if you know such a person who has no predecessors and no one after him, and is amazing?" ”

"Oh? I don't know all the famous immortal cultivators on this vast continent, and you come here. ”

Yun Lingxiu glanced at the brother in front of him with admiration, and was amazed by his intelligence ability, and then lowered his voice, pretending to be mysterious, "Yun Clan, Yun Lingxiu." ”

The crowd who was listening with bated breath suddenly lost interest and said blankly, "Who? ”

When his companion received his blankness, he was also stunned, waved his hand, and drove Yun Lingxiu out of the gossip discussion center, "I haven't heard of this person!" Hey, speaking of the Yun Clan, that young talent Yun Yuan ......"

"Hey......" Yun Lingxiu wanted to be among the topic heaps again, but was ruthlessly ignored, he had to roll up his sleeves, bid farewell to this topic camp, and rubbed into another wave of enthusiastic discussion crowd, "Hey... Ladies and gentlemen......" He cleared his throat, changed his strategy, preconceived, opened a new topic in a storytelling tone, and made a full speech gesture, "It is said that the Xuan Lingyun clan has such a number one person, I don't know if you have heard of it!?" It is said that he can be called a martial arts wizard, although he ......"

"Miss Chu Mo is so beautiful! I must win the first place in the trial, and then go to the Chu clan to propose! An impassioned proclamation interrupted his passionate speech.

"Then you not only have to win the championship in the trial, but you also have to be able to beat Chu Mo's senior brother - Chu Ziyi."

"Chu Ziyi!? That's another big name! It is rumored that although he has a very high cultivation and is handsome and extraordinary, he has a gentle temperament, and he has never spoken harshly to anyone, even in the face of the servant girl who has done something wrong. ”

"What's the exaggeration!? It is rumored that when he beat up the robbers who robbed the house, he smiled on his face, which made the robbers feel like a spring breeze, and they hated what they had done from the heart, and since then they have changed their minds and behaved well. ”

"Although this Chu Ziyi has a gentle temper, he is extremely attentive to this junior sister."

……

Yun Lingxiu insisted on finishing his speech, but no one paid attention to it, and he didn't even have a chance to interject, so he was instantly frustrated, and withdrew from the crowd in frustration, and walked back to the Yun clan's foothold.

Seeing this, Yun Shuang comforted, "Senior Brother Ling Xiu, don't be sad. When this trial is over, these people will know how good you are! ”

Hearing this, Yun Lingxiu grinned, hooked Yun Shuang's nose, and praised, "It's still Shuang'er who has vision!" ”

The young man's smile was so gorgeous that Yunshuang was dazzled for a while, and before she could come back to her senses, she heard three drumming sounds not far away. The noisy discussion on Nameless Island ceased in an instant, and fell silent.

There is a slight wind through the river and sea, carrying the salty smell of the sea water to the face, making a "rustling" sound of blowing leaves.

One has to sigh at the efficiency of secular imperial power. It was only a moment, and a small platform had been erected in the open space not far away. Two round drums stood beside the stage, and two strong men of the royal family were standing in front of the drums with drumsticks. That's where the drum beat came from.

A middle-aged man stepped on the high platform, dressed in a brown and black robe, the robe was wide, and a domineering and arrogant Gou Chen Divine Beast on his chest stood tall, which was actually the great sacrifice of the royal family - Nangong Zhe.

Nangong Zhe looked around at the immortal cultivators of the major families, and said luckily, "The people from the major families participating in the Qingtian trial have all arrived, and this trial is fully organized by my royal family, and the elders of the five major families are co-organized. There are elite soldiers of the royal family along the island, which can ensure the safety of everyone and prevent young people who are not familiar with water from falling into the deep sea. This time, our royal family sent more than 100 ladies to guide the way and camp ......"

"I heard that this Nangong Zhe is a rare strong immortal cultivator in the royal family, and his strength cannot be underestimated."

"This time, the royal family has really made a bloody investment."

"The He family of the royal family has always been weak, and it all relies on the financial support of the royal family and the use of spells, which can be squeezed into the end of the five major families. This time, the royal family must want to win back a game and gather new immortal cultivation power. ”

……

The audience whispered, and the preaching on the stage was nearing the end. Nangong Zhe paused, and loudly announced the important matters of the trial, "This trial is divided into three stages - survival skills, teamwork, and individual competition. Now, I announce the rules for the first phase of the trials. The nameless island is surrounded by three peaks, and all the disciples who participated in the test should go to the front to draw lots - to determine the team combination, and work in groups of three. You can choose a mountain to climb by yourself, and the top 10 teams to reach the top of each mountain will all advance! Otherwise, it will be eliminated directly and leave by boat. There are fierce beasts in every mountain, so everyone should do what they can and pay attention to safety. If you really can't hold on, you must send out a family distress signal! The elders of each family will immediately go to the rescue. But once the distress signal is released, all employees will be eliminated, please keep it in mind! Saying that, Nangong Zhe pointed to the five wooden tubes directly in front of the high platform, and hundreds of bamboo sticks had been prepared in the tubes.

The drums sounded, and the disciples lined up to draw lots.

Yun Lingxiu closed his eyes and drew a bamboo stick. Before he could open it, he caught a glimpse of the girl in the ice blue ice silk gauze skirt not far away, who had just pulled out her teammate information.

Yun Lingxiu suddenly had a bad premonition.

Sure enough, when he looked up, he saw Chu Mo's bamboo skewer - a number "9" was engraved on it. The corners of his forehead jumped slightly, and he flipped over the bamboo stick in his hand.

A big, clear "9" was standing on top of a bamboo stick, smiling silently at him.

Yun Lingxiu's heart suddenly cried silently, he rushed to Yun Yuan's side in two steps and asked, "Yun Yuan, what is the mark on your bamboo stick?!" ”
