Spring is bright, the grass grows and the warbler flies, and it is another sunny morning. But for many people, today has an extraordinary significance, this is the day when Xuantian Sect comes to White Emperor City to select disciples once a year.

Yi Chen ran out early in the morning to inquire about the news, and soon turned back, shouting excitedly, "The Spirit Revelation Ceremony is about to begin, and I must participate this time." ”

Dongfang Yu had been mentally prepared for a long time, but when he heard the shout, he still chuckled in his heart. Yi Chen didn't know how many times he had told her about this matter, the first two selections were blocked by him and Yi Tian, and the two did not intend to let him embark on the path of spiritual cultivation. As spiritual cultivators, they naturally know the dangers of this journey. Competition, transcendence, more fierce competition, step by step. Joining any sect is like walking on the edge of a knife, and death and injury are common.

But seeing Yi Chen's enthusiasm and some talent, he couldn't bear to forbid him to embark on the path of cultivation. Moreover, the chances of a child not necessarily being able to pass the spiritual enlightenment ceremony and becoming less than one in a hundred spirituals are indeed frighteningly low.

She appeased Yi Chen, and discussed with Yi Tian for a while, feeling that in this chaotic autumn, blindly escaping is not a way after all, looking at the posture of the mountain rain and the wind full of buildings, it is better to let the child try, it is life to work, and life is life if it does not work.

When Yi Chen heard the good news, his heart was overjoyed.

Xuantian Sect is one of the most powerful religions in Jingling County, located on the Nine Lotus Mountain, a branch of the Wanjie Mountain, and has many followers. In Jingling, the religions that are comparable to the strength of the Xuantian Sect include the Yiyuan Sect, the Qingyunmen Sect and the Incense Valley. In order to avoid vicious competition, each sect has a relatively fixed sphere of influence, and it is strictly forbidden for its disciples to cross it without special reasons.

Jingling County is vast and sparsely populated, with hundreds of towns and villages of all sizes, and Baidi City is just one of the small cities.

In the vast land of the spiritual realm, there are many countries scattered, among which the most powerful are eleven empires, namely Xingyue, Longyan, Weiyu, Tianluo, Leize, Lanwu, Songhai, Dajiong, Taihao, Siyou, and Biluo. Although there are constant conflicts between countries, there is a relative balance on the whole. Most of these countries are a state and religion coexist, the state manages the affairs of the country, and the sects benefit from the state and train military personnel for the country.

The Xingyue Empire is a typical example of this situation, and the empire is divided into six counties: Jingling County, Changling County, Baling County, Gaoling County, Yunling County, and Yangling County, each of which contains many sects and walled cities, which cooperate and compete with each other.

In Jingling County, the four sects of Xuantian Sect, Yiyuan Sect, Qingyunmen, and Incense Valley stood side by side, and the competition between them was tacitly approved by the empire, and the most cruel rules of natural selection and survival of the fittest were applied.

Every year in the early spring, Xuantian Sect has to come to the White Emperor City to recruit disciples. As long as you can pass the ritual test of spiritual enlightenment, you can become an outer disciple of Xuantian Sect and take the first step in cultivation.

After breakfast, Yi Tian took Yi Chen to the White Emperor City martial arts arena, which was the fixed test point of Xuantian Sect in White Emperor City.

When I arrived at the martial arts arena, it was already crowded with people. From high-ranking officials and nobles to ordinary people, as long as there are school-age teenagers, most of them will come to try their luck, hoping that the children can jump over the dragon gate and shine on the lintel.

Every year, there are tens of thousands of school-age teenagers around White Emperor City who participate in Lingqi, but generally only about 100 people are selected, but the cruel competition can't stop people from chasing their dreams, and this is the case year after year.

After Yichen reported his name, he went to wait in line for the test. I met a few familiar friends, laughed and played with each other, and temporarily forgot the apprehension in my heart.

This selection was presided over by Wan Ziyuan, the city lord of White Emperor City, and Ren Yufei, a middle-aged deacon of Xuantian Sect. This time, as in previous years, a total of 10 spiritual enlightenment arrays were set up, and a huge white stone pillar was erected in the center of each array, which was in the shape of a nine-sided shape, and each side was as smooth as a mirror; After this array is urged, it can be tested by nine people at the same time, and the formation shows the compatibility of the child's physique and spiritual power, whether the two can form a chakra, and what kind of guardian spirit is in harmony, this potential test has nothing to do with whether or not he practiced before.

After Wan Ziyuan's enthusiastic opening remarks, Ren Yufei announced the official start of the spiritual enlightenment ceremony.

Suddenly, the nine disciples guarding around the Spirit Qi Array injected spiritual power into the crystal ball at the same time, and the crystal ball brightened, showing dense vein-like spiritual power ripples inside, connecting the stone pillars together through the formation, and a spiritual power image appeared on each side of the white stone pillar, and lotus flowers appeared on it, causing a cheer.

The formation has been activated, and the children have started testing in groups one after another.

Yi Chen was testing in the eighth Spirit Enlightenment Great Array, there were about four or five hundred people in front of him, and he was watching the situation on the field with some nervousness.

The first group of nine people entered the formation and put their hands on the crystal ball, and the spiritual power ripples enveloped them, and the spiritual power traveled along each person's meridians, simulating the scene of the spiritual power awakening the chakra. The particularity of the Spirit Enlightenment Formation is that the spiritual power will automatically sense the condition of the tester's meridians, simulate the situation of the tester's meridian system when it impacts the Spirit Martial Realm and condenses the chakras, and projects the projection screen onto the central stone pillar. Those who have chakras pass through, and vice versa.

A few minutes later, the first round of testing ended, but unfortunately no one passed. The same goes for the second round. In the third round, only one teenager passed.

When it was Yi Chen's turn, a total of six Spirits appeared, and one of them summoned the Guardian Spirit, a black swan soaring through the clouds, causing a long cheer from the crowd.

Yi Chen walked to the side of the crystal ball, and he could clearly feel the majestic spiritual power inside the crystal ball, which brought him a special feeling. He sensed that this spiritual power had an extremely strong ability to simulate derivation, and when he approached, the spiritual power inside suddenly changed from the previous situation and became violent.

Yi Chen gently put his hand on the crystal ball, and the spiritual power inside stimulated the meridians on his hand through the crystal ball, and the numb feeling gradually spread to his whole body. The spiritual power in the crystal ball began to simulate his meridian system, and he looked curiously at the direction of the spiritual power in the crystal ball.

The entire meridian is about to be completed, success or failure is in this move, Yi Chen's heart rose to his throat, and he stared at the stone pillar nervously, but it was empty.

Yi Chen looked down and was taken aback, his soon-to-be-completed meridian system suddenly derived many smaller and more complex branches, winding and stretching like flickering lightning.

"Huh!" Yi Chen didn't expect this kind of change, just when he was looking out of his mind, the extension of spiritual power suddenly stopped. At this moment, there was another round of cheering, and he looked around blankly to see that the other testers had finished testing, and one of them was raising his arms excitedly and shouting.

Yi Chen knew in his heart that he was in this situation, probably because the spiritual power diagram composed of this kind of spiritual power needed spiritual power support, and due to the sudden increase in his meridians, the spiritual power in the crystal ball was insufficient, and it was naturally difficult to generate a chakra virtual image.

If this continues, he is bound to be eliminated. He has also been in contact with the Sanqi Liuyi Array, and knows that this array is composed of nine arrays, arranged in the order of E, Ji, Geng, Xin, Ren, De, Ding, C, and B, each array can be used separately or jointly, and the eye of the array is the white stone pillar in the center. As long as you connect the nine crystal balls through the array eye, you can obtain the spiritual power support of the other eight crystal balls.

Yi Chen meditated on the rules of the formation formation, and formed a three-odd and six-instrument array in his body, which triggered the spiritual power induction in the crystal ball, and transmitted the spiritual power to the central array eye, and then connected it with the other eight crystal balls, and the formation was successful. The nine crystal balls flickered at the same time, and the previously stagnant spiritual power was reactivated, meandering and extending.

The anomaly of the eighth formation caused the crowd to exclaim.

"How is that possible?" the middle-aged deacon had also noticed the change, and he had not been able to understand what was going on over the years.

Several disciples of the eighth formation were more and more to stop Yi Chen's test, the middle-aged deacon stretched his hands, a few bounces, and the Dapeng generally leaped in front of the eighth formation, stopping their movements, he was very interested in this abnormality.

The spiritual power veins in the crystal ball continued to expand, becoming more and more complex, and finally stopped. A four-petaled remnant appeared on the central stone pillar, and many white dots flashed above the remnant.

"What is this?" shouted someone in the crowd.

"It can't be a firefly, this kind of phantom is rare enough, haha. Someone laughed a little gloating.

"Whatever it is, something is better than nothing. ”

"There's something interesting about this little guy. The middle-aged deacon observed this strange chakra with great interest, and felt that it would not be so simple. Then with a big wave of his hand, he passed.
