The martial arts arena was full of crowds of people in twos and threes, and some familiar squads stood together and chatted. Soon, the day passed, and as the sun hung in the western sky and gradually set, a figure appeared in mid-air.

"The freshmen are on the left, the old students are on the right, and they stand in a phalanx according to their squad numbers. ”

A deep voice sounded between heaven and earth, and the originally noisy martial arts arena instantly became silent, only to see the crowd moving like ants, standing in a phalanx according to the instructions of the voice.

"This is Mu Tianqun, the vice president of the college. When Zhu Yi and the others moved to where they should be, Feng Wan whispered in Zhu Yi's ear.

Zhu Yi also saw the figure clearly at this time, wearing a gorgeous robe woven of brocade, the snow-white long beard was neatly combed, hanging down on his chest, and even the white hair on the back of his head was combed into a high bun, pinned with a hosta, not to mention that this vice president has the appearance of some fairy wind bones.

"Mu Tianqun is the second strongest existence in the academy after the dean, except for those old antiques, of course. Feng Wan added to Zhu Yi.

Obviously, Mu Tianqun's prestige among the students was extremely high, and with a simple sentence, everyone quickly formed a phalanx according to his requirements. And Zhu Yi also felt that there was an extremely terrifying fluctuation hidden in this old man's body, which seemed to form a perfect match with the ups and downs of the aura of heaven and earth, and it was obvious that this old man had stepped into the realm of martial saints, so that he could make every move with the rhythm of the Tao.

"The Heavenly Dao Contest is a grand ceremony held every five years in the academy, and it is not only a time to consider what you have learned, but also a time to teach you how to integrate and use everything you have learned. Mu Tianqun's gaze swept over everyone, "Next, the new students will enter the eastern area of the Dark Forest, and the old students will enter the western area. We have already demarcated two areas in the interior for this big competition, the rules are already clear to you, I won't say more, but I want to emphasize one point, in the big competition, malicious killing is strictly prohibited, violators will not only be disqualified from the big competition, but will also be expelled from the academy. ”

The Heavenly Dao Great Comparison was originally used to test the strength of students and select elites for the Heavenly Dao Academy. If the internal fighting causes casualties, it will violate the original intention of the establishment of the Heavenly Dao Great Competition, so Mu Tianqun's words are also extremely serious.

"Although there is a clear order, it does not prevent some people from doing it. Zhu Yi's eyes flickered, and he looked towards the students of the Southern Academy, and he could feel that among the students of the Southern Academy, there were several eyes that vaguely fell on him, and it was clear that he had already targeted himself.

"For the first time, the freshman team that won the first place in the competition will be able to enter the Heavenly Dao Pavilion to choose a cheat book or choose a weapon, and the captain will serve as the head of the freshman academy. The same is true for old students. If the heads of the new and old academies are all from the same faculty, then the faculties will have the right to enter the Tianyuan Forbidden Land this time!"

After Mu Tianqun's last sentence fell, the originally quiet crowd suddenly erupted in various exclamations and discussions.

"Tian Yuan Forbidden Land! This time it was the Tian Yuan Forbidden Land that won the admission qualifications. ”

"I didn't expect the Tianyuan Forbidden Land to open again!"

"It is said that the Tianyuan Forbidden Land is full of treasures, and there are a large number of relics of the ancient sect, if you can get some benefits in it, your strength will definitely be able to increase significantly!"

Even a lonely and unheard person like Zhu Yi knew about the existence of the Dao Tianyuan Forbidden Land. It was a part of the Tian Yuan Continent before the Great Fall Era, which was broken and separated in the Great Fall War and wandered into another dimension. However, every few years, this space would overlap with the Tian Yuan Continent, so the people above the Tian Yuan Continent would have the opportunity to enter it.

However, it was later discovered that this space actually had a strange law that prevented all cultivators above the Berserker level from entering it.

After the communication and years of negotiation between the major forces on the continent, an agreement was finally reached that every time the Tian Yuan Forbidden Land appeared, the major forces would send their young veins into it to seek opportunities. That separated continent contained countless relics of ancient sects, which could be said to be a huge treasure land, and at the same time, there was an abundance of spiritual energy, as well as the existence of many rare medicinal materials and resources.

Even Zhu Yi didn't expect that the academy would take the qualification to enter this Tianyuan Forbidden Land as the final reward for this big competition. But this reward is very tempting!

"I announce that this Heavenly Dao Great Contest has officially begun, please follow your leading mentor into the Great Comparison area. Looking at the students' reactions, Mu Tianqun also smiled and nodded, young people just need to be a little energetic, and then his voice sounded again between heaven and earth.

The students present took action one after another, in fact, the squad number just now is also their regional division number. So soon, the people in the martial arts arena were gone, and the teachers who led the way in their respective areas rushed in the direction of the Dark Forest.

Zhu Yi's team is No. 233, which is the western entrance to the nascent area. Led by the instructor, the group traveled overnight and appeared at the entrance on the morning of the third day.

A journey of three hundred kilometers in a day and a half can be said to be easy for some high-level cultivators, and even those who have reached the level of a martial saint can arrive in only half an hour when they use their spiritual energy. However, it was still a bit difficult for these new students in the contemplation period, most of them began to gasp for breath after reaching the entrance, and some began to sit cross-legged on the ground to recover the spiritual energy consumed during the journey.

Zhu Yi was also sitting quietly on the ground at this time, his physical strength was extremely strong, so the physical exertion was not so serious, he was just breathing his physical state, striving to let himself have the best state when he entered the Dark Forest.

Among the two, three, and three squads, on the contrary, the state of Shuang Ling and Feng Wan was a little worse. After all, as girls, the two of them are weaker than Zhu Yi and others in terms of physical strength, and at this time, the two of them took the Gathering Spirit Pill provided by Zhu Yi, and they are also in the process of pranayama.

To Zhu Yi's surprise, Lin Yong's physical strength, who looked soft and weak like a scholar, was no worse than that of himself, a person who had cultivated the Pangu Body Breaking Chapter. At this moment, Lin Yong was holding a book and shaking his head and reading it, as if this long journey had not caused him any burden.

"A total of 400 teams have entered the freshman area in this Tiandao Competition, and as long as 100 teams reach the central area, the competition will enter the final stage. Now when the other teams have arrived at the designated area, we will set off together. Once again, I remind you that in times of danger, crush your tokens in time, and your life is always the most important. ”

In charge of the western entrance was a black-clad teacher with a long scar on his face and a fierce look in his eyes. However, Zhu Yi still heard the meaning of concern from the other party's words.

Another half of the day passed, and when the sun had completely risen and hung high in the sky, the courtyard sign on the Scarface Mentor's waist flashed with a glimmer of light, and a sharp buzz was emitted.

"Game on!"

Scarface's voice rang out, and a huge light rose from the ground, converging with the other three directions, enveloping the entire area. And at this time, all the captains also felt a slight change on their black tokens, obviously the prohibition inside had begun to work.

"Let's go!"

As an order sounded, the squads all unleashed their tactics and swept towards the Dark Forest. Zhu Yi did not rush to the front, but after seeing some people enter it, he nodded to Feng Wan and the others beside him, and the five of them set off together, following the large army into the Dark Forest.

The reason why the Dark Forest is called the Dark Forest is because there was originally a Dark Demon Thunder Leopard here, and its rank actually reached an astonishing emperor level. Later, also because of the Great Fall, this Dark Demon Thunder Leopard never appeared again. Not only that, but the spirit beast powerhouses in the Dark Forest also suffered countless casualties, until the mysterious Martial Spirit Beast that appeared hundreds of years ago.

However, with the fall of this Martial Spirit Beast, the Dark Forest will inevitably be included in the scope of the Heavenly Dao Academy's power. Because at the other end of the Dark Forest is another major sect in the Tian Yuan Continent, the Qianyuan Academy. Although it sounds like this sect is more like a place to teach and educate people from the name, in fact, there are many strong people above the martial saint level on the Tian Yuan Continent who are from the Qianyuan Academy, and if you simply talk about the strength of the academy itself, the Qianyuan Academy is currently the first place in the Tian Yuan Continent.

This time, the academy agreed to Qin Xiao's proposal to pioneer the Dark Forest, because it wanted to build its own line of defense in this Dark Forest to prevent Qianyuan Academy from having any thoughts about the Heavenly Dao Academy.

Although the current Heavenly Dao Academy is inferior to the Qianyuan Academy, the Heavenly Dao Academy was also the existence of the monarch in this continent in the past. Especially the Heavenly Dao Venerable at the level of Emperor Wu back then was even more invincible in benevolence and righteousness, and was widely respected by cultivators in the world. The Heavenly Dao Venerable once left a treasure in the Heavenly Dao Pavilion of the Heavenly Dao Academy, which was also the reason why the Qianyuan Academy had always had an attempt against the Heavenly Dao Academy.

Zhu Yi had recently made up for some common sense on the mainland, but he also knew that the treasure left by the Heavenly Dao Venerable was just one of the most popular legends in the academy. For so many years, countless people have been looking for the place where the Heavenly Dao Venerable inherits it. Every year when the new students enter the school, they can catch a few undercover agents sent by other sects from them, and I don't see anyone who says that they have been inherited.

Anyway, Zhu Yi already has the inheritance of the Emperor of Ice and Fire, so he doesn't care much about this.

The Dark Forest is actually very beautiful, and the vast forest is as far as the eye can see. If you fly to the top of the tree, you can see a whole sea of trees, and the wind blows green waves.

In the Dark Forest, the sun shines down, and through the shade of the trees, these rays are no longer dazzling, and they shine lazily on the body. But none of the people who enter the forest now enjoy the beauty.
