Chapter 175: Flaming Mountain
The sky was already slightly white, and the burning heart still hadn't arrived. "But the attendant came to the door of the small courtyard again.
"Senior, it's not too early, it's time to go to the main hall to gather!"
"En!" Yun Tian got up, settled down for a night, and his spirit was excellent. When he opened the jade slip, he found the message of burning his heart, and after the party, he and Yulan had gone directly to the main hall.
The main peak of Lianqi Mountain is the largest mountain within a radius of thousands of miles. The mountains are shrouded in spiritual mist, the trees are thick, and low-level spirit beasts are haunted from time to time, just like a fairyland.
It took Yuntian half an hour to reach the peak of the main peak. This is also the reason why he can fly as an elder. The average selection contestant starts walking up the mountain in the middle of the night, so it's no wonder they didn't come to the appointment.
The main peak is dozens of miles in radius, and the square in front of the main hall is extremely wide, and it is not a problem to accommodate tens of thousands of cultivators.
It was already dark, and hundreds of monks gathered together, some of them were dressed in purple-robed elder robes, and some were yellow-clothed inner disciples, but most of them were core disciples of Tsing Yi.
Out-of-body stage cultivators are the backbone of the trial conference. The power of the distraction period is excluded, and the combat effectiveness below the Yuan Infant Stage is not good, and the competition is only the strength of the out-of-body period between the various forces.
However, the trial conference is held once in a hundred years, and which force wins naturally means that their out-of-body strength is proud of Shui Yuxing. And the out-of-body period cultivators represent the trend of the strength of all parties after a hundred years. Therefore, the success or failure of this trial conference can be regarded as a reshuffle between forces within a hundred years, which is very important!
"Everyone, be quiet!" a majestic shout came into the ears of every cultivator present. In the main hall, several old men walked out, all of them were immortal bones, and it was usually difficult to see each other, but this time they all appeared.
These old men, all of them have a restrained aura, like mortals in front of Yun Tian. "These old guys should be the pinnacle representatives of Shui Yuxing!" Yun Tian muttered, walking into the crowd, not wanting to be too conspicuous.
However, it backfired, and his purple-clothed robe, sandwiched between a group of Tsing Yi disciples, was very conspicuous. And the crowd also seemed to be whispering, this is the first time that the elder in the out-of-body period has encountered it. It is even more unheard of for this elder to participate in the selection competition!
"Quiet!" the old man in the middle shouted, again. The crowd suddenly fell silent, facing the old man in awe.
"The purpose of this selection competition is to select the winners to participate in the trial meeting to be held outside the territory in three months!" Saying this, the old man looked at Yun Tian, the only elder who was dressed in purple to participate in the trial.
The old man's gaze was not surprised, it seems that the head of the branch should have already made a report. Yun Tian's heart was a little calm, for fear of using his identity to talk about things, and delaying his participation in the trial meeting. In the eyes of the little brother, identity is a floating cloud, and the actual income is the truest. As for why it is called the Extraterritorial Trial Conference, Yun Tian is still confused.
"The trial conference, in addition to testing cultivation, also requires the cooperation of monks. Therefore, in this trial, there is no restriction on you to unite and form an alliance! There are ten places in total, and there is no limit to the selection of fights, but you must not be a killer! If someone in the top ten is seriously injured and cannot make the trip, it will be filled by the latter ranking, so it is very important to protect yourself in the selection!"
As soon as the old man's voice fell, Yun Tian realized that the surrounding cultivators were already in groups of three or two, and the number of people was basically ten! It seems that these details have indeed been deliberately passed out in advance. This situation seems to be very unfavorable to Yuntian.
"This selection competition is for everyone to take an item, and judge success or failure according to the number of obtained!" the old man said the key point, and the crowd was silent for a moment.
"In the territory of my Qizhou, there is a treasure land, known as: Flame Mountain!" The old man said loudly: "This Flame Mountain is a place where fire crystals are produced, a treasure land, and a dangerous place. The temperature inside is extremely high, below the infancy stage, and it is impossible to get close at all. Even out-of-body cultivators need to be extra careful!"
"Fire crystal?" someone in the crowd exclaimed, as if it was very unusual. Yun Tian didn't know much, but judging from the reactions of the cultivators, this fire crystal was by no means ordinary.
"This is the fire crystal! it is the origin of fire!" The old man took out a small piece of diamond-shaped red crystal, and with the dazzling red glow, the temperature on the sidelines of the field rose sharply.
"Next, please hand over your Qiankun bag, the sect is just for safekeeping. Of course, you can take the pills and weapons inside. The mountain gate will give each of you a new Qiankun bag to store the fire crystals you have obtained! The fire crystals obtained in the selection competition are the property of the sect and need to be handed over. And this Qiankun bag, after this time, will belong to you!"
After the old man finished speaking, several disciples in Tsing Yi flew out and walked towards the contestants one by one. Fire crystal can be used as a refining material, and it can also help smelt materials in the refining process, which is an extraordinary effect on the refining mountain. It is also understandable to turn it in.
As for the Qiankun bag, it must be because I am afraid that someone will cheat. It is not excluded that some cultivators have high-grade Qiankun bags that can store fire crystals. If you bring it in beforehand, it will affect the fairness of the game. From this point of view, the Refining Weapon Mountain is still very fair.
"Fire crystal, as the source, is extremely hot. The Qiankun bag that can store the fire crystal must also be an origin-level material!" Thinking of this, Yun Tian loved the earthy yellow Qiankun bag in front of him very much. Sensing carefully, a stream of pure earth origin came from the Qiankun bag.
Refining Weapon Mountain is really magnificent, a Qiankun bag, at least one piece of origin is needed, more than a hundred contestants today, this one is the origin of more than 100 pieces!
"The winner, in addition to the original Qiankun bag as a reward, the mountain gate also has a heavy reward. Now, the Great Elder will lead you to the Flaming Mountain!Good luck to you!" After collecting the Qiankun bag, the old man spoke again.
On the side, another old man with immortal wind bones took a step, and with a wave of his left hand, the same larger flying boat appeared in front of the cultivators. Compared with the flying boat of the branch, this one is dozens of times larger! Inside, it can even accommodate thousands of people!
The old man, known as the Great Elder, was the first to board the flying boat, and then beckoned the leaders of each branch to come up one by one.
In the crowd, Yun Tian found Burning Heart and Yulan, as well as the Second Elder, and they and the other branches had gathered. Seeing this, Yun Tian did not come up, but boarded the ship alone.
If you really don't have a suitable teammate, Yuntian doesn't mind going it alone. At his speed, no one could threaten him during the out-of-body period. Even if it is a head-on battle, with his cultivation at the peak of the middle stage of the out-of-body stage, he is not afraid of any out-of-body stage cultivator one-on-one;
This is the essence of Yuntian, and it is also where his confidence lies. Dressed in the purple elder's clothes, in the eyes of everyone gathered again, Yun Tian flew up alone and stepped into the flying boat.
The Great Elder greeted the contestants in front of the cabin, and there was a hint of expectation for the juniors in his majestic eyes. Yuntian smiled kindly, which was a response.
Going to the Flame Mountain, in addition to the Great Elder, there are also two elder-level figures, both of whom belong to the Refining Mountain Headquarters. The elders of the branch were turned away to ensure that the tryouts were not interfered with by any external forces.
The boat shook slightly, and then slowly lifted into the air. Yun Tian saw with his own eyes that the two Tsing Yi disciples actually used the Origin Zhongpin Spirit Crystal to activate this large flying boat, and his heart was greatly shocked again. How deep is the foundation of the great forces? Tongtian Dojo, he will always face one day!
In the cabin, more than 100 contestants gathered one by one, in groups of three or five. Burning Heart saw the dazzling clouds and walked up to talk.
"Brother Qian, I'm sorry last night, the second elder arranged an alliance with the Qinglian branch and the Golden Sword branch. After that, he went straight to the main peak, so he couldn't go to the appointment......" Burning his heart apologized.
"It's okay, what is the origin of the Qinglian and Golden Sword Divisions that Brother Burning said?" Hearing the word Golden Sword, Yun Tian couldn't help but chuckle in his heart, Xiao Lanxing Golden Sword Sect is very close to him.
"The Qinglian Branch, from the territory of the Qinglian Dojo, the top force of the Water Jade Star, they have four places. The Golden Sword Division is also from the Golden Sword Prefecture under the control of the Golden Sword Dojo, and there are also three places. The alliance with the Tongtian Branch has formed a powerful force, a total of nine cultivators!Brother Qian, why don't you join us too?!"
"Don't worry, let's see!" Yun Tian shook his head, he didn't agree to the invitation and was not in a hurry to refuse. Those who burn their hearts can naturally believe it. But Yulan, although not much hostile, is definitely not friendly. The cultivators of the other two state branches did not have much contact, but through the relationship between the two elders, they were already familiar with each other.
After forming an alliance, it is right to form a greater combat force, but it also faces the problem of distribution of interests. If you are only familiar with the burning heart, you will definitely not get any big benefits. This was the reason for his hesitation, if there were other casual cultivators, he would rather find another partner.
"Brother Qian, you see, almost all the cultivators have formed an alliance. It's not easy to get good results on your own!" Burning Heart looked at the crowds of contestants in front of him and continued to persuade, he knew Yuntian's combat power.
Indeed, among the more than 100 cultivators, very few are alone, and some are even directly ten!
"Brother Burn, what kind of forces dominate the covenant of the nine of you, and how does it determine the distribution of benefits?" Yun Tian did not answer the rhetorical question, he was not optimistic about these gangs. Especially the number of ten, wanting to win the top ten with one force is tantamount to a fool's dream.
"Naturally, Qinglian is the first, and Jin Jian is second. There are only two people in my Tongtian branch, and they are at the bottom of the line. The same distribution of benefits is also at the bottom! If Brother Qian joins, I think it can at least be equal to the Golden Sword Department. Speaking of this, Burning Heart looked a little depressed.
"Brother Burn, what's the matter, wait until you enter the Flame Mountain! Between you and me, what is the situation that can be communicated, as for the others, let's take a step at a time!"
Yuntian made up his mind to go it alone, which made him bored for a while, and he left in a hurry. It's not that Yun Tian is arrogant, it's really that covenant, under the leadership of the Second Elder, it will do more harm than good to Yun Tian.
This super flying boat, faster. The cabins were large, and there were many empty seats with groups of monks in groups of three or five. Yun Tian chose a window seat and sat down, and began to carefully observe the next group of opponents.
There are more than 100 monks, most of them are allied, and of course there are also mavericks, which can be seen from the choice of seats. Yun Tian observed back and forth several times, and the two cultivators sitting alone slowly came into view of Yun Tian.
Both of them are in Tsing Yi, and they are at the peak of their cultivation during the out-of-body period! They each occupy a row of seats, and in their eyes closed, they look like they are not approaching, and there are all cultivators around them who are not close to them.
One person is a man with a square forehead and a broad face, thick eyebrows and big eyes, which gives people the first feeling that he is full of momentum. The other person was white, which reminded Yun Tian of the appearance of a pirate scholar, and this time, the little brother deliberately paid full attention and looked away after confirming that it was not a woman.
"Out-of-body period peak, can this combat power ensure the top ten?" Yun Tian muttered, within the other allies, there is no shortage of out-of-body period peaks. These two are the only ones who seem to disdain to be friends with anyone.
However, these two people gave Yuntian confidence. After all, measured by their true combat power, coupled with the Infinite Soul Devouring Spear, even if they could transcend the ranks, Yun Tian would not be afraid.
In addition to these two, there are several others who are also alone. The cultivators have just entered the out-of-body period, and I don't know if they disdain to join, or if there is no gang that wants them.
After all, the total number of places is only ten, and the gang has more than ten people, which means that there are people to be eliminated internally. As a weakling, it is better to find some opportunities alone.
"How to find fire spar in the Flame Mountain is the key, there is only one brother, even if he has the origin sense, he is a little powerless. It would be good if we could recruit these cultivators! After all, there is a lot of strength in numbers!" Yun Tian secretly thought, but he was sharp-eyed, and he actually valued these weak people.
A day later, the boat began to slow down and get lower and lower. The Great Elder and the other three elders also came out of their respective luxurious secret rooms, glanced at the contestants, and then listened to the Great Elder say:
"The Flaming Mountain, which stretches for hundreds of miles, is extremely hot inside. If you can't hold on, crush the jade slip, and we will open the gap in the formation to help you wait out. But coming out is equivalent to giving up, no matter how many fire crystals you have in your hand, coming out before the time is up, it is equivalent to failure!"
"What a strict rule!" said one cultivator in amazement.
"Why? Isn't this encouraging snatching each other in the Flaming Mountain?" asked an early out-of-body cultivator, his cultivation was not high in the first place, and this rule made it even worse for him.
"That's true!" the Great Elder said unabashedly: "This is a trial for the Trial Conference, not a competition to recruit relatives! You must know that in the Trial Conference, there is no limit to killing. Killing is forbidden in our tryouts, and the net is already open!"
When they heard this, they were silent. The Great Elder was right, and there were no bad seeds in those present. Since the rules are like this, the only way to face them calmly is to face them calmly.
Several disciples in Tsing Yi began to distribute jade slips, one for each person, representing their own identity, once broken, it means failure! At the same time, it is also a talisman for each contestant; in case of danger, they can abandon it to save their lives. Everyone carefully put it into the Qiankun bag, this is the second life in the Flaming Mountain!
"The selection tournament is limited to three days, and when the time comes, the formation will be opened. You need to come out immediately, and you must not linger any longer, violators, you will also be out!Okay, start landing, two of you will open the formation with me!" After the Great Elder finished speaking, he walked to the front of the crowd, and the other two elders followed closely.
