Chapter 88: The Opening Ceremony
Three days later.
The entire Xiandu City was lively, and many mortal warriors came into the city, and some monks who couldn't afford to live in an inn because they were shy also chose to come on this day, and the flow of people on the streets suddenly became a lot denser.
Most of the warriors are very low-key, because in Xiandu City, there are many characters who they can't afford to provoke, they gather in groups of three or five, walking very cautiously on the side of the road, for fear of accidentally provoking any immortal, summoning a patrol to throw them out of Xiandu City.
The shops along the road are lit up, and the colorful banners are hung at the door, and the Lieyang Sect holds the opening ceremony today, and the Xiandu City is also the most lively 'Mountain Worship Festival' in the year.
There are many mortals living in the outer city area, and on this day, the school-age children in their families will put on the new clothes prepared by their parents and prepare to go to the city lord's mansion to participate in the 'spirit testing ceremony'.
In addition to these mortal children, there are also some children sent by the Immortal Cultivation Family, these basically have a fixed quota, they have experienced the spirit measurement ceremony in the family beforehand, and they have confirmed that they all have spiritual roots, and they are only here to go through the motions, and they can basically worship in the Burning Sun Sect smoothly.
In addition to these children who have reached the age of five, the Immortal Ascension Workshop of the City Lord's Mansion has also opened the 'Immortal Rank Trial', and as long as the mortal martial artist has the ability to pass the trial, and at the same time has a spiritual root, he can successfully join the Burning Sun Sect.
In addition, casual cultivation can also conduct immortal level trials, but the requirements are stricter than those of martial artists, mortal martial artists only need to pass the first 1,000 layers of immortal ranks, while cultivators in the qi refining period need to pass 2,000 steps.
After the thousandth order, the Immortal Rank Formation will automatically adjust the pressure according to everyone's cultivation, and the higher the cultivation, the more terrifying the pressure will be.
In contrast, the difficulty of casual cultivators wanting to join the Burning Sun Sect is not much worse than that of martial artists, and casual cultivators also need to be tested by the 'Asking Heart Formation' to ensure that those who enter the sect are not hidden sons planted by other forces.
When Su Poman came to the City Lord's Mansion, there were already three long queues at the door of the Ascension Immortal Fang, the longest of which were children from mortal families, and they consciously lined up one by one under the leadership of their parents.
As for the other team, it is composed of a group of richly dressed children, the number is relatively small, roughly only about fifty people, followed by an elder of the family, most of these children have a strong head, with an unconcealed arrogance on their faces, and look at the mortal children with contempt in their eyes, they are all the best in the family, and they are considered to be the disciples of the Burning Sun Sect.
The last team is composed of loose cultivators and mortal warriors, scattered cultivators are standing in the forefront, and martial artists are standing in the back, opening a large distance from scattered cultivators, this one is the team that needs to participate in the 'immortal level trial', Su Poman walked over quickly, and came to the back of the immortal cultivator queue, and the old man with a simple face in the back hurriedly took two steps back, as if he was afraid of provoking Su Poman.
"Fellow Daoist, you're also here to participate in the Immortal Rank Trial, right? In Xia Nie Rongchuan, it's polite! We will all be in the same door in the future, and we will have to be closer and closer in the future......"
As soon as Su Poman stood still, the little fat man in the green robe in front of him turned around and greeted him very warmly, he looked very happy, under his short and thick eyebrows was a pair of small eyes full of light, and with his fat green robe, the whole person looked like a harlequin singing on the stage.
"In Xia Su Poman, I have seen this fellow Daoist!" Su Poman smiled and returned the salute with a fist, "Where is the ancestral home of Daoyou, it doesn't seem like you are from the Eastern Holy State with your accent?" ”
"It turned out to be Su Daoyou, Nie Mou came from Songhan Prefecture, he has been on the road for a long time, this time he must worship in the Lieyang Sect, I heard that the aura in the Lieyang Sect is extremely strong, and one day of cultivation in it is worth four or five days in other places!"
Since Nie Rongchuan opened the chatterbox, he began to keep telling Su Poman, describing his experiences along the way like pouring beans.
Su Poman stood aside and listened patiently, and from time to time he would interject a few words, from Nie Rongchuan's mouth, he learned some interesting things about the immortal cultivation world.
It didn't take long for the gate of the City Lord's Mansion to open, and some monks dressed in the red clothes of the Burning Sun Sect came out of it, and they beckoned to start registering one by one, and then entered the City Lord's Mansion under the guidance of a special person.
At this time, the mood of the people became nervous, and the parents and elders of the children withdrew from the line and waved goodbye to them at the door.
The team in front walked very fast, and it didn't take long for them to come to Su Poman.
He respectfully handed over the wooden card he had received a few days ago, and the cold-faced Burning Sun Sect disciple waved his hand impatiently, signaling him to hurry in.
The Immortal Rank Trial was on the easternmost side of the City Lord's Mansion, where the Immortal Rank Array was located, and under the leadership of the guide messenger, Su Poman and the others walked along a spacious avenue that was more than five zhang wide.
The scenery in the Lord's Mansion is strange and magnificent, and the white jade corridor connects the buildings that exude jewels, and in the daylight, the complex of buildings shines brightly, so that those who are new to this place can't help but look at it.
After separating from the group of children, the group came to the easternmost side of the City Lord's Mansion, where a magnificent gray-white stone staircase had been carved out of the high cliff face.
There are two thousand stone steps, each one one foot high and three feet wide, flanked by half-man-high stone walls made of black slabs carved with strange patterns.
The 'Immortal Rank Trial' is carried out here, for mortal warriors, it mainly examines its roots, bones, qi, blood, perseverance and certain potentials, and after the 1,000th Order, it mainly examines the monk's spiritual power purity, willpower, physical strength, and so on.
Those who can pass the immortal level trial are all leaders of the same level, and the Burning Sun Sect, as one of the three major sects of the Nanyue Kingdom, has an extremely high threshold for entry.
There are also requirements for loose cultivation and bone age, and even if a monk who is too old can pass the immortal level trial by luck, he will not be able to meet the entry requirements of the Burning Sun Sect.
The group came to the square under the stone steps, where several disciples dressed in the costumes of the Burning Sun Sect were already waiting.
"Wait here first, don't make a loud noise, it means that the elders will open the Immortal Rank Great Array when they come!"
A young man in red who exuded a faint spiritual pressure walked up to everyone and said loudly.
"Yes!"
Everyone agreed and said they understood.
"This immortal rank array is not simple, once it is stimulated, we and other monks will feel a spiritual pressure, the higher the cultivation, the stronger the spiritual pressure felt, so I didn't break through, and pressed the cultivation to the realm of the peak of the second layer of qi refining! Even so, my certainty of passing this immortal level trial is less than sixty percent! Nie Rongchuan whispered with a serious face, and then he squeezed his expression at Su Poman, and asked tentatively, "I wonder if Su Daoyou can pass this level with confidence?" ”
