The starlight descends and weaves into a web, like a sharp blade that distorts the reflection of the heavens.

Harvesting blades, unmatched, all the people outside the temple in the Vault Secret Realm were locked, one by one the blades slashed, screams were repeated, the blades cut through the void, accompanied by the aurora dazzling, everyone as if they had never existed, when the aurora disappeared, the Vault Secret Territory regained calm again, as the Sufferer often said, they seemed to have really been wiped out by the mysterious power of the Vault Secret Realm.

At the same time, a sea of blue was filled with inky clouds and thunder.

At dusk, the ocean was turbulent, and in the sea dozens of meters above the sea, a tall and majestic sturdy figure appeared out of thin air, and the stars passed away. He was extremely frightened when he found Xiong Barbarian in his surroundings, but immediately, he found that all the strength he had suppressed had been fully recovered.

Before falling into the water, Xiong Man's body erupted with bright starlight, rising into the air again, looking at the surrounding scene in disbelief. Suddenly, there was a sound of falling water not far away, Xiong Man's divine sense was displayed, and he was surprised to find that the figure that fell into the water faded, and soon dissolved with the seawater. However, Xiong Man's divine sense found that the man's body was swallowed by the sea, but his spiritual will was still there.

The starlight burst through the clouds, and the figure dissolved by the sea water suddenly condensed into a human form in the blue water, and regained its independence from the sea. The light of the stars in the sky shone brightly, shedding a touch of starlight and falling on the human form. Suddenly, his whole body seemed to be boiling, and the water waves on his body rolled, and in the water, there was a miserable roar.

Under Xiong Man's horrified gaze, the humanoid water wave broke away and fell into the sea again. This time, the starlight faded, and there were constantly human figures on the sea who wanted to break through the shackles and rush out of the sea, but the condensed body, just halfway out of the water, slammed and turned into countless splashes.

Slowly, the waves on the sea surface gathered and the heads of people surged, but they could not get out of the restraints. It is like a soul trapped in hell, and it is difficult to break free from the lock.

"Click-"

The thunder overlaps between the clouds, the sparks burst out, under the reflection of the thunder, the scene of the sea is even more eerie, and the thunder of the sky is like a pen in the sky, cracking holes in the clouds, and engraved rows of floating words. Seeing this, Xiong Man's eyes narrowed slightly, and after a long time, his shocked face eased, the corners of his mouth curled slightly, and he muttered: "It seems that I need to find an ally!"

Xiong Man's body spread, the starlight on his body exploded, turning into a meteor and galloping away in a random direction. The wind pressure caused the sea to split in half like two wings, and soon disappeared into the gloomy sea.

At the same time, the eight Heavenly Realm powerhouses above the Ink Lake released all their power to the surface of the Ink Lake, and the entire Ink Lake boiled again. The one hundred and sixty-eight stars intertwined in the lake became more and more dazzling, and the powerful spatial fluctuations surged, and the suffering monarch Chang Chang, who was under the protection of Yun Bufan, breathed a sigh of relief, and a smile appeared on his face.

Within the Vault Secret Realm, all the people in the temple felt an inexplicable centrifugal force that shook the entire temple. The light of the stars in the sky consumed everyone outside, and each turned into a pillar of stars and fell into the temple below.

The fused starlight penetrated the top of the temple, illuminating the entire temple transparently and crystallinely. Countless wonderful vein seals emerged from the temple, corresponding to the veins of the starlight connection in the sky.

The phantom scroll in the hand of the dream tassel, the moment it touched the starlight, it turned into a floating light, and disappeared into the starlight. Immediately afterwards, she and Chu Haoyun were wrapped in starlight, the aurora was dazzling, the centrifugal force reached the limit, and the two of them were dizzy and dizzy by this centrifugal force, but they were surprised to find that in this uncomfortable feeling, the Yuan Gong and Divine Consciousness on their bodies were rapidly recovering, and the erased normal Yuan Force returned to their bodies.

When he regained clarity in front of him, Chu Haoyun found that he had once again come to the waves of Shilimo Lake, and in the water of the lake, there were many figures standing sparsely. But compared with the beginning, it has shrunk dozens of times, and the dream tassel next to him has long been gone, and everything before is like a dream of Nanke.

"Ahem, congratulations on successfully passing the first stage, I believe you have already gained something in the temple. The voice of the troubled gentleman pulled everyone's thoughts back. Only then did Chu Haoyun notice that the eight Heavenly Realm powerhouses had disappeared, and the blockade of clouds and fog above the Yulan Academy was slowly dissipating.

"Next, you have half a month to consolidate what you have gained in the temple, and until the second phase begins, you can move around as long as you come here. He often looked at these people in front of him, and not only sighed, but only a few tenths of them passed the first stage.

"Adults......" Some people asked about the second stage, but they kept silent, and only said that they would come here to know.

After a few trivial matters, the cloud-making and foggy blockade in the sky completely faded, and everyone left. Before leaving, Chu Haoyun probed for a long time with his divine sense, but never found the whereabouts of Dream Tassel. His unscrupulous investigation attracted the attention of many people, especially the few people in Zhan Yun Country, led by Yun Scorpion, who even showed murderous intent in their eyes.

At that time, the official announcement of the promotion list for the first stage, there were only 284 people left in the initial 10,000 people, most of whom joined forces to defend the temple, and there were also a few perverts who guarded one by themselves. Those on the periphery who paid attention to the Firmament Martial Arts Douqi were a little speechless, they couldn't imagine that the first round would be so cruel, but they were also even more curious, because among the nearly three hundred people, there were actually more than a dozen people who were not enough to cultivate the Star Realm.

Of course, all of those popular characters were basically captured by the temple except for the two unlucky ghosts who were besieged too often and failed to hold the temple. Yueli, Dongfang Bi, Night Seventeen, Gu Tianyou, Du Junquan, the list of the five Heavenly Realms was exposed, and the White Horse Autumn Wind, Yun Scorpion, Que Jiuzhong, He Zhanfeng and other people with the Emperor's Rainbow Order were all promoted, and they gradually became a hot topic of discussion.

However, this time, the way that the Qiongwu Douqi was not made public made them very regretful, and most of them had no time to gossip with them after leaving the Yulan Academy, and they went their own ways to cultivate and consolidate what they had gained in the temple.

Chu Haoyun didn't find the name of Dream Tassel in the list, and he was even more puzzled. She was obviously in the temple with herself, why didn't she disappear in the end? The strangeness of the dream tassel made him very jealous, and if he didn't know her identity, it would be a big worry.

Back in the hall, Chu Haoyun told Lord Feng about the situation of the dream tassel, hoping that this well-informed old guy could give some advice, but after hearing about the ability of the dream tassel, Lord Fu Feng sprayed the fragrant tea in his mouth on the table as soon as possible. Suspicious, he asked, "The art of controlling spirits, can you also see through the phantom trap, you kid won't meet the phantom king, right?"

"What, you said she might be the Phantom King?" Chu Haoyun's eyes widened, a little incredulous.

"Ahem, I just said maybe. Mourning the wind lord wiped the water stains on his beard, looking at Chu Haoyun's uncertain eyes, Funeral Wind Jue pursed his lips and said: "Don't think about it, it shouldn't be the Phantom Spirit King, she has long been the personal disciple of the Empress Yulan, and she has been the king for many years, and she has cultivated to the sky, so there is no need to participate in the Qiongwu Douqi." However, the girl you are talking about may have nothing to do with her. ”

"Furthermore, it is rumored that the Phantom King is known for his illusion arts, and he does not have the ability to manipulate plants. The situation you mentioned is somewhat similar to that of the first brawler, and since she has no ill intentions, you will see if you can find her again in the next round. The Lord of the Dead continued to comfort.

"She's not on the list. Chu Haoyun frowned.

"Cut, isn't there still two holders of the Imperial Rainbow Order in the Yulan Empire that have not been disclosed? Who has stipulated that if you are not on the advanced list, you will not be able to participate in the next round?" said the Lord of the Dead Wind disdainfully.

"It's also ......" Chu Haoyun agreed, thinking about it carefully, if the dream tassel was really the Phantom King, or her heir, there was no need to go to the secret realm to find the Phantom Relic Scroll.

"Is there anything else to gain from this secret realm?" The gossip of the Dead Wind Lord came over, in the past, the Qiongwu Fighting Strange was carried out in the Yulan Mountain Range in the outside world, and this is the first time to open the Qiongwu Secret Realm. He had a vague feeling that the 169th Congress was unusual.

"No, I'll wait until I've sorted out my thoughts. Chu Haoyun was a little upset, the identity of the Dead Wind Lord had always been a mystery, and Chu Haoyun didn't dare to open up with him completely.

"Whatever you want, in the last few days, I'm going to go to the Battle Slave Demon City to find some materials I need. It's hard to come to the Imperial Orchid City once, but you can't go home empty-handed. Lord Death didn't ask much.

Over the next two days, Lord Death left the tavern with the little furball and began his treasure hunt. Chu Haoyun has been unable to calm down and cultivate the gains in the Divine Temple. Whether it was the strange stone ship illusion or the mysterious dream tassel, it all made him feel upset.

After many fruitless times, Chu Haoyun also left the tavern, since he couldn't practice with peace of mind, it was better to relax his mood and adjust his state for the unknown second stage. He first went to find out the whereabouts of Night Seventeen, but this guy seemed to have offended too many people in the secret realm of the Firmament, and now he was hiding and missing.

Walking on the streets of the Imperial Blue Imperial City, there were always people pointing fingers behind him, and Chu Haoyun noticed that most of them were rumors about the Emperor Hongling. The bustling crowd made him even more upset. In desperation, I had no choice but to leave the Imperial Blue Emperor City!

Away from the hustle and bustle of the Imperial Blue Emperor City, walking into the wilderness where the four seasons are like spring, Chu Haoyun's mood calmed down a lot.

For the next two days, he walked aimlessly through the wilderness, and along the way, he also encountered a patrol team composed of masters of the Star Realm. From their mouths, Chu Haoyun learned that these people were sweeping away the people of the Youlan Assassin Shadow to prevent them from causing trouble among the Firmament Martial Arts, and after they knew Chu Haoyun's identity, they didn't pay much attention to it, and turned around and left directly, continuing their sweeping work.

Ten minutes in the evening of the fourth day, Chu Haoyun was already thousands of miles away from the Imperial Blue Imperial City, and unconsciously came to the edge of the Imperial Lan Mountain Range.

The birds and flowers here, the babbling stream, and the appearance of a paradise reminded him of the bits and pieces with Black Panther Reis. Not long after, Chu Haoyun found a Taoyuan village here, and looking at the familiar scenery of the village and town, a trace of warmth welled up in his heart.

At the entrance of the village, several seven or eight-year-old children were chattering and laughing, and the eldest of them, a ten-year-old boy, grabbed the tail of a big yellow dog in front of him, trying to capture it. The big yellow dog barked and was a little frightened of it, and after a struggle, he finally broke free from his restraints and ran into the village with his tail between his legs.

Its performance made a group of children laugh. Soon, a snow-white giant eagle descended from the sky, this is a demon beast that has entered the Void Spirit Realm, and it has not launched an attack on people or anyone. Instead, like a kind old man, he played with this group of children.

Standing in the distance at the entrance of the village, Chu Haoyun looked at the peaceful atmosphere.

The distant memory of the "Guardian Beast ......" has been opened, and the small village here still retains the belief in the guardian beast. When he took over Bailing Xichuan, Mu Yunzong had already destroyed all the guardian beasts of the villages for his hegemony. Although these are also demon beasts, they yearn for peace, just like the black panther Reis guards Chujia Village, they are called guardian beasts by these simple villagers, and when danger comes, they fight side by side.

The Yulan Empire is not resistant to demon beasts, on the contrary, the demon beasts in the territory of the Yulan Empire, as long as they do not take the initiative to cholera side, whoever dares to hit them is a provocation to challenge the majesty of Yulan. In the empire, the power of the peerless demon beast that made Yulan rise is second only to the Yulan Empress.

Under its deterrence, the demon beasts in most parts of the Yulan Empire have achieved the ideal state of peaceful coexistence with humans. This has made most of the guardian beasts in the Yulan Empire safe.

"Ming!" Not long after, the snow eagle who was playing with those little ones spotted Chu Haoyun and whispered a few times at him. He could feel the strength of this person, and there was no hostility in his voice, but the act of blocking those children behind him made Chu Haoyun feel warm.

"Don't worry, I'm just walking around with no malice. Chu Haoyun transmitted the sound with his divine sense, and the snow eagle had not yet reached the sixfold rhyme demon soul of the Void Spirit Realm, so he could not respond with his divine sense, so he could only answer in a low voice.

The group of little guys emerged from behind the snow eagle, looking at Chu Haoyun who was approaching, and there was no fear of strangers on their faces except for novelty and excitement. It was as if as long as the Snow Eagle was by their side, they had nothing to fear.

After a brief exchange, Snow Eagle confirmed that he had no malicious intentions, and warmly invited him to enter the village for a look. Chu Haoyun happily accepted it, this simple feeling has not been felt for a long time.

Walking in the simple construction of the village, Chu Haoyun is a master in the simplicity of the people. In a short time, he had come to the other side of the village, where a clear stream flowed from the distant mountains, and the nectar shimmered in the setting sun.

By the stream, some aunts are fetching water for tonight's drink.

At dusk, Chu Haoyun stopped, at the end of his gaze, a slender figure stood in the wind, in the sunset, reflecting the elegant beauty, a palpitation for no reason, Chu Haoyun's heartbeat accelerated inexplicably, and an unprecedented feeling came to his heart, which came for no reason, and there was no trace, but it was so profound and indelible.

Just one glance has left a soul on my heart, which is a feeling that I have never felt before.
