Chapter 50: The Spiritual Mist Forest
The spiritual mist in the valley filled the valley all night, and when the sun rose, it slowly dispersed, but Tang Fan noticed that the mist was not floating in the air, but drifting towards the Lingwu Mountain Range.
Liu Jiuxing and the other elders, who had been guarding outside the valley all night, also breathed a sigh of relief after the spiritual mist dissipated, but fortunately, nothing happened!
They didn't dare to close their eyes all night, and they kept guarding outside the valley, but there were some nearly 10,000 assessment disciples in this valley, and most of them were the children of the major famous families from various cities and some hidden families, if something happened here, even if the Xianwu Courtyard had a transcendent status, it would not be easy to explain to their elders.
When the spiritual mist dissipated, Liu Jiuxing walked into the valley with a stern face and led a group of elders to the high platform.
All the assessment disciples have also stood up at this time, this night they were all asked to stay in place not to move, the depressed and tense atmosphere made them not rest well this night, the spiritual mist dissipated before they got up and moved, at this time they saw the elders of the other courtyard appear on the high platform, only then they cleaned up and looked at the high platform, waiting for the arrangement of the elders of the other courtyards.
The elders did not speak on the high platform now, but glanced at everyone present, and their gaze occasionally lingered on someone, but they quickly moved away, and everyone did not know what they were observing, and many lowered their heads, a little overwhelmed.
And Tang Fan in the crowd was also pretending to be calm and constantly turning his head to observe the people around him, he guessed that those elders should be trying to see if there were people who were weak in heart and wanted to find out something, but this kind of trick was useless to him, he couldn't see anything on the surface, the only thing he had was curiosity.
After observing for a while, Liu Jiuxing spoke: "Last night's spiritual mist was a test for everyone, this test is a test for everyone's obedience and self-discipline, most of the performance is not bad, only a few people have some small movements, I hope you don't take an example!"
Wait a minute, let's give you a pillar of incense to rest again, and then we will start the second round of assessment, this round of assessment is also the most important test for everyone, whether you can pass or not, it will be helpful for your future cultivation, I hope everyone takes it seriously!
Okay, now let's start to rest and start the assessment after a pillar of incense!"
After Liu Jiuxing finished speaking, he did not step down from the high platform, but sat down on the stone bench of the high platform with those elders, and continued to observe the disciples below.
The following assessment disciples are a mess, some solve personal problems, some take out dry food to satisfy hunger, and some whisper together with three or five people, and so on.
And Tang Fan was writhing his body in place at will, he found that Liu Jiuxing always looked at him intentionally or unintentionally, and couldn't help muttering a little weakly, shouldn't he have discovered something?
However, he still pretended to be calm and moved his body, twisting his face to the side and pretending to observe the other people, which resolved the embarrassment.
In fact, after Tang Fan told him the secret of Lingwu last night, he was a little weak-hearted, after all, he almost caused a catastrophe.
According to Sha Lao, this Lingwu Mountain Range was a barren mountain before, and there was no spiritual mist, these spiritual mist appeared after the catastrophe of the destruction of the world ten thousand years ago, and the Xianwu Courtyard was also established at that time, and this mountain range was named the Lingwu Mountain Range.
Sha Lao didn't say much about the catastrophe of destroying the world, but just told Tang Fan that after the establishment of the Xianwu Courtyard, the Lingwu Mountain Range had become a forbidden place, and ordinary people were not allowed to enter without the invitation of the Courtyard, and once it was discovered that the Courtyard had the power of life and death.
At the beginning, there were people who were not convinced, and they broke into it, but they never came out again, and the others saw the domineering of the Xianwu Courtyard, and in view of the strong strength and transcendent status of the Xianwu Courtyard, no one rushed into this Lingwu Mountain Range after that, so this Lingwu Mountain Range has also become a mysterious location.
And Sha Lao was once invited to the Lingwu Mountain Range, so he knows some secrets of the Lingwu Mountain Range, it is said that there is a passage to the outer realm under the Lingwu Mountain Range, and the catastrophe of the destruction of the world ten thousand years ago has something to do with this passage, but this passage was sealed by the power of the characters in the later stage of the catastrophe of the destruction of the world.
And the spiritual mist of these spiritual mist mountain ranges is the breath that pervades the seal, and it can be regarded as a part of the seal, in fact, these spiritual mist have been refined, and they contain law energy, but Tang Fan's realm is too low, and he can't touch the law energy, but it is not easy for him to feel that there is special energy in the spiritual mist, so Sha Lao has to admire.
In fact, it stands to reason that this spiritual mist cannot be refined even if it is inhaled into the body, unless the realm reaches a certain level and the existence of the law can be touched before it can be absorbed and refined.
With Tang Fan's current realm, it is true that he can't refine the energy in the spiritual mist, but there is a chaos bead in his body, and all the spiritual mist that was inhaled into his body was absorbed by the chaos bead, Tang Fan just helped the chaos bead absorb more.
Sha Lao prevented Tang Fan from absorbing the spiritual mist because he found that the spiritual mist was absorbed by the Chaos Bead. Although he couldn't see through the origin of the Chaos Bead, he knew that the Chaos Bead was extraordinary, and the chaotic qi it released contained the most primitive breath in heaven and earth, although it was very weak, but it was already very perverted, and it almost exhausted his soul at the beginning.
The Chaos Bead will definitely be able to digest the spiritual mist absorbed by absorbing it, once it absorbs too much, it will not only make Tang Fan pay attention to expose the existence of the Chaos Bead, but also destroy the seal of the Spiritual Mist Mountain Range, that seal has been unstable after ten thousand years of consumption, if it is destroyed by Tang Fan, the consequences will be unimaginable!
Sha Lao's original invitation to the Lingwu Mountain Range was related to the instability of the seal, and it was only after gathering a large number of top forces in the Southern Region that the strong people had stabilized the seal, so it was impossible for him to watch Tang Fan destroy it.
Through Sha Lao's explanation, Tang Fan also figured out a lot of things, the puppets encountered in the previous assessment may also have a certain relationship with that seal, and the strictness of the Xianwu Academy in recruiting disciples may also have something to do with the secrets here.
Therefore, Tang Fan also began to face up to this assessment, and he guessed that the content of this assessment might not be inseparable from the things sealed.
The time of the pillar of incense passed quickly, the elders on the high platform had already stood up, Liu Jiuxing looked at the disciples below who had finished resting, and said loudly again: "Next, we will conduct the second stage of assessment, and the content of this stage of assessment is to pass through the spiritual mist forest.
The Lingwu Dense Forest is the only way for the Lingwu Mountain Range to reach the Xianwu Courtyard, and your assessment is to pass through the dense forest to the square in front of the Courtyard, the time is three days, and those who fail to pass will be deemed unqualified.
Here I would like to remind you that this spiritual mist forest used to be a battlefield, so there may be some opportunities in it, but there are also some illusions, I hope you don't covet the opportunity and become obsessed with it.
In addition, there will be some spirit beasts and puppets in the dense forest, and when you can't resist it, you can activate your nameplate to save your life, but I want to remind you that once you activate the nameplate, it is equivalent to giving up the qualification for the assessment!
Okay, that's all I have to remind you, you can explore the rest on your own, and there is a dense forest in front of the valley, and now the assessment begins!"
With Liu Jiuxing's order, the crowd rushed to the other end of the valley, for fear that they would lose their qualifications if they were too late.
Tang Fan also walked out of the valley with the crowd, and there was also a large clearing outside the valley, and the clearing was a dense forest filled with spiritual mist in the past.
Many people have already begun to form gangs when they go to the jungle, after all, many people are children of families from the same city, and they have known each other for a long time, although they are in a competitive relationship with each other, but they still have to join forces at the critical moment.
As the saying goes, there is strength in numbers, and it is better for a few people to gather together than to be alone, so many people walked into the dense forest in groups.
The elders of the other courtyard did not stop the behavior of these people, they did not stipulate that they did not allow it, that is, they acquiesced, maybe this is also part of their assessment!
Tang Fan walked into the mountains and forests alone, he didn't team up with anyone, after all, he didn't know a few of these people, even if some people pulled him to form a team, he refused. Because he is not familiar with the other party, and it is a competitive relationship, what if the other party has a black hand behind his back, although Tang Fan is not afraid, he doesn't want to cause trouble, and it is better to be free and comfortable alone.
Although it is daytime and the sun is shining on the earth outside, this dense forest is a little gloomy and filled with layers of mist, although it does not have a great impact on people's vision, but it makes the dense forest have a strange atmosphere.
The trees in the dense forest are dense and arranged in a neat arrangement, as if they were planted by hand.
The trees are almost all of the same species, a tall tree called sabertooth wood, so named for its saber-tooth-like leaves, which are also said to be hard and valuable.
The space of the dense forest is very large, and at the beginning, Tang Fan also met a lot of people, and everyone dispersed as he walked, and in the end, Tang Fan was the only one around, and many people should have gone to find the so-called opportunity.
The ground of the dense forest is all dark land, but it is not even, as if it has been turned over, thinking of the opportunity that Liu Jiuxing said, Tang Fan smiled, it seems that after someone comes in, he can't wait to start work.
It's just that chance is so easy to meet, is it still called chance? Chance luck is chance, not deliberately looking for it can be found, Tang Fan shook his head and continued to walk forward, now he is still on the edge of the dense forest, even if there is an opportunity, it will not be here, and Tang Fan just wants to pass the assessment quickly, and he is not strict about chance!
The more he walked into the depths of the dense forest, the more Tang Fan felt the oppression of the atmosphere, and the spiritual mist inside gradually became richer, although it was not yet to the point where he could not see his five fingers, but when he looked up, he could only see a distance of more than ten meters.
Tang Fan also slowed down his pace of progress, since it was an assessment, it was impossible to pass through the dense forest so easily, there may be unknown dangers hidden in this spiritual mist.
