The Hidden Dragon Empire is a first-class empire in the western part of the Divine Abandonment Continent, and one of the rulers of the western part of the Divine Abandonment Continent, as a result, the entire army of these three hundred monks was wiped out, which undoubtedly caused the Hidden Dragon Empire to suffer heavy losses, especially the title of the transport captain, so that the Emperor of the Hidden Dragon Empire hated Wu Hanqi to the core, and wanted to send someone to destroy Wu Hanqi.

However, before the Emperor of the Qianlong Empire could implement this opportunity to retaliate, the Chongwu Empire, the rival country of the Qianlong Empire, suddenly stationed troops on the border between the two countries, so that the royal family of the Qianlong Empire had to transfer the troops transferred to the border of the Shenwu Empire back to defend the Chongwu Empire.

But this is only the beginning of the decline of the Qianlong Empire, when the Qianlong Empire deployed troops to guard against the Chongwu Empire, the crown prince and the second prince of the Qianlong Empire turned the usual secret fighting into a bright fight for the throne, and as a result, the officialdom of the Qianlong Empire was panicked, and they were afraid of becoming a pond fish for the two princes to seize power.

When the Qianlong Empire fell into internal and external troubles, a notice was posted at the gates of all towns and cities in the Shenwu Empire almost at the same time, the Wu family established a sect called "Swallowing Heaven Gate" to recruit disciples from ordinary families throughout the Shenwu Empire, all children over the age of six and under the age of sixteen can participate in the test of "Swallowing Heaven Gate", as long as they pass the qualification test of "Swallowing Heaven Gate", they can become the outer disciples of "Swallowing Heaven Gate".

As soon as this announcement was issued, it immediately caused a huge sensation in the Shenwu Empire, making thousands of ordinary people in the Qianlong Empire cheer for it, there was no shortage of well-qualified teenagers among the common people, but because the resources of the Shenwu Empire were all in the hands of the family, coupled with the fact that they could not obtain the cultivation method, they could only be ordinary people for generations. And this announcement undoubtedly gave hope to all ordinary people's families, and for a while, many families sent their children to the imperial capital to participate in the test of "Swallowing Heaven".

A few families are happy and a few are sad! Especially those families in the imperial capital. They knew that the Wu family's decision meant that the Wu family had an opinion about their families. Otherwise, Wu Hanqi would not have changed his original decision to integrate the two academies and establish the Shenwu Academy.

However, this is not the most critical, the most critical thing is that the Wu family established this "Swallowing Heaven Gate" means that the Wu family can continue to obtain excellent disciples from the common people, which not only strengthens the strength of the Wu family, but also means that the Wu family will truly become the master of the country, which means that it will not be many years before their families will decline because of the Wu family's decision.

At this moment, some high-level families even thought of uniting to resist the Wu family, but the matter of the Guò Hidden Dragon Empire made them realize the strength of the Wu family. Realizing that the Wu family was no longer something that their families could contend with, they could only use marriage or cooperation with the Wu family to make their family firmly bound to the Wu family's chariot.

When the various families tried their best to get in touch with the Wu family, many civilians brought their children and followed the caravan sent by the Wu family to a temporary test site set up outside the imperial capital.

"Erwa, tomorrow is the day of the Swallowing Heaven Gate test, whether you can honor your ancestors depends on tomorrow, and when the time comes, you must behave well and let "Swallowing Heaven Gate" accept you. In this way, Daddy will also have face when he returns to the village. In the tent area temporarily set up by the Wu family, a one-armed middle-aged man looked at a seven-year-old child beside him, with a kind and expectant look on his face, and did not forget to tell his child again.

The same thing happens again and again in the tent area. Because "Swallowing Heaven Gate" recruits disciples, for all civilian families, it is an important opportunity to get rid of the fate of ordinary people. Therefore, all families who come to participate in the test hope that their children can be selected by "Swallowing Heaven".

The next morning, when the sun slowly rises from the horizon. Many of the children were dressed in the new clothes their parents had prepared for them, holding the ID badges they had received when they reported on them. Line up on the grass and begin to take the test of the Heaven-Swallowing Gate.

"Don't be nervous, little one, you grab the crystal with your hand and think to yourself, it's going to shine, and that's it." Seeing the nervous expression on the young man in front of him, Wu Hanqi's face showed a warm smile like a breeze, and he taught the young man to hold the attribute crystal hand in hand.

After all, the boy is not a child born in a big family, although Wu Hanqi always has a kind smile on his face, the young man always has a worried expression on his face, and carefully presses his hand on the attribute crystal, and soon a yellow halo immediately lights up at the bottom of the crystal, climbing up from the bottom of the crystal, until it is halfway up to the climb, it stops.

"The mid-grade talent of the earth system is not bad, and it can be regarded as a good start for us to recruit disciples from the Heaven Swallowing Sect. Seeing the half-lit attribute crystal, Wu Hanqi's face showed a satisfied expression, took out a jade plaque and handed it to the child's father, and said with a smile: "This old brother! Congratulations, our Swallowing Heaven Gate has accepted your child, and now you take your child over there to register, and then receive the costume of our disciple of the Outer Gate of Swallowing Heaven." ”

When the middle-aged man learned that his son had been accepted by the Swallowing Heaven Gate, he showed an excited look on his face, and hurriedly pulled a little girl behind the young man to him, and said to Wu Hanqi: "Wu Gongzi! This is my daughter Erya! ”

Wu Hanqi didn't expect that the middle-aged man in front of him would actually bring his own children to the test, and asked with a smile: "This old brother! The regulations of our Heaven Swallowing Gate, after entering the Heaven Swallowing Gate, unless we are eliminated within the triennial Dabi of our Heaven Swallowing Gate, you and your wife will not be able to see your children in the next few years, are you really willing to send both children to our Heaven Swallowing Gate?"

When the middle-aged man heard Wu Hanqi's words, he was stunned for a moment, and then quickly made a decision, and said to Wu Hanqi with a serious face: "Willing! As long as the two babies can get ahead, there is nothing for me and the child to be reluctant to." ”

The middle-aged man's reaction Wu Hanqi completely saw it in his eyes, he knew that the middle-aged man was actually not reluctant to let his child, but for the sake of the child's future, he would finally make this kind of decision, which was undoubtedly the first time Wu Hanqi saw the greatness of his father's love, and said to the slender little girl in front of him: "Erya! You saw what your brother did just now, right? Now you learn your brother's method, press your hand on the crystal, and then think about making the crystal light up." ”

Erya's courage is obviously much greater than her brother's, after she heard Wu Hanqi's words, she immediately pressed her little hand on the attribute crystal according to Wu Hanqi's instructions, and a red halo immediately lit up on the attribute crystal, then a green halo appeared, then a yellow halo appeared, and then a blue halo lit up, and finally a golden halo appeared, and the halos of five different colors were entangled, turning into a multicolored halo that climbed up from the bottom of the attribute crystal.

When he saw the multicolored halo lit up on the attribute crystal, Wu Hanqi's face suddenly showed a surprised expression, he didn't expect that the thin little girl in front of him was also a five-element spiritual root like him, staring intently at the attribute crystal in front of him, and secretly said in his heart: "Go up, go up!"

The multicolored halo slowly climbed up from the bottom of the attribute crystal, and in Wu Hanqi's expectation, it broke through the first grid, then the second grid, and then the third grid, and soon broke through the fifth grid of the attribute crystal into the sixth grid, and finally stopped in the seventh grid.

"Very good! The qualifications of the middle and upper grades can directly enter our Heaven Swallowing Gate and become our Inner Heaven Swallowing Gate disciple. Wu Hanqi's expression was the same, but in fact, he was extremely happy, and directly took out an identity card representing the inner disciple of the Swallowing Heaven Gate, handed it to the middle-aged man on the side, and said to the middle-aged man: "This old brother! Congratulations! Erya's qualifications are very good, and she can directly become our official disciple of the Swallowing Heaven Gate, this is the identification card of her inner disciple, you can quickly take your two children over there to register!"

It has been clearly mentioned in the announcement of the Swallowing Heaven Gate that the Swallowing Heaven Gate recruits disciples every three years, and the disciples recruited into the Swallowing Heaven Gate are only the disciples of the outer gate of the Swallowing Heaven Gate, and in the third year after entering the Swallowing Heaven Gate, they will have to be assessed in the Swallowing Heaven Gate, and those who pass the assessment will become the inner disciples of the Swallowing Heaven Gate, and if they cannot pass the assessment, they will be directly eliminated from the army of the Shenwu Empire.

As a result, the middle-aged man couldn't have imagined that his daughter didn't need to participate in the assessment three years later, and directly became the inner disciple of the Swallowing Heaven Gate, which undoubtedly made the middle-aged man ecstatic, and hurriedly thanked Wu Hanqi, and took a pair of children to Chen Ruoxi with two different jade plates to go through the entry registration.

The middle-aged man excitedly brought his children to Chen Ruoxi's face, put two jade plaques in front of Chen Ruoxi, and said cautiously: "This young lady! ”

When Chen Ruoxi heard the middle-aged man's words, he subconsciously glanced at the two jade plates in front of him, showed a look of surprise on his face, and said with a smile: "This uncle! Congratulations, both children were selected by our Heaven Swallowing Gate, and one even let Xiang Gong make an exception to be included in the inner door." ”

As he spoke, Chen Ruoxi collected the essence blood of the two children, dripped it into their identification cards, and then took out four sets of men's clothes and four sets of women's clothes from the storage bag, and asked the two children to change them immediately, and finally took out forty-two gold coins and said to the middle-aged man: "This uncle! ”

"Your son is an outside disciple and can receive six gold coins every year, and your daughter is already a disciple of our Swallowing Heaven Gate, you can not only receive thirty-six gold coins every year, but also exempt your family's field tax, this is the voucher that our Swallowing Heaven Gate gave you, you have to collect it, and you can take this voucher to our Swallowing Heaven Gate caravan to receive gold coins every year in the future. ”

For middle-aged people, ordinary people like them who have no identity background, Swallowing Heaven Gate can give their children a chance to get ahead, which is already a great kindness to them, but they never thought that Swallowing Heaven Gate would give them back gold coins, which made the middle-aged man excited to tears, pulled his children to kneel on the ground, and choked up and thanked: "Wu Gongzi is righteous!"
