Third test: Mirror Palace

The opening ceremony of the Divine Mansion has been carried out more than halfway, from the initial millions of test-taking teenagers, eliminated after two rounds of trials to less than two hundred now, although the strict elimination mechanism is not the first time, but it still attracts the attention of the entire human world, and this time the selection method is completely different from the past. The various forces began to converge towards the Divine Palace, with different purposes. The super forces equivalent to the Divine Mansion are nothing more than monitoring this old opponent, and some smaller large forces or small and medium-sized forces are here for those teenagers who have been eliminated by the Divine Mansion, and the Divine Mansion is not eye-catching, in their eyes, it is the real fragrant gluttony, after all, even if they are eliminated by the Divine Mansion, the people who came to participate in the test are all geniuses who are one in a million, and as for the teenagers who have passed some of the tests, they are the focus of competition among the large forces of all parties.

In this trial, the more prominent teenagers naturally attracted the attention of all forces, such as Wang Yulei, a black-clothed boy who looked cold and indifferent, Hu Xueli, a cute but talented girl, Jiang Bo, who was cynical but resolute and unusually resolute, and of course, the most eye-catching was the crazy gold-robed boy Ye Cheng, whose performance in the first two rounds was extremely eye-catching, and it can even be said that his light alone almost overshadowed everyone. Almost all the big powers are hoping that these dazzling geniuses will stumble at the last step so that they will have a chance to recruit.

The third round of trials took place in a little-known place of trial in the Divine Palace: the Mirror Palace. As the name suggests, the Mirror Palace is a labyrinth composed of mirrors, each mirror is depicted with special patterns, with different abilities, and the teenagers who participate in the trial can only be considered qualified if they pass this mirror palace within the time of three incense sticks. Every mirror in this mirror palace is not so simple.

The Mirror Palace is located in a mountain on the west side of the Floating Island of the Divine Palace, and it is said that it is an auxiliary magic weapon refined by the Ancient Mirror Sage, and it is a cultivation place for the disciples of the Divine Mansion to exercise their divine sense and soul strength, and this time it was also vacated for the third round of trials. It was still early, and there were already a lot of people gathered, this time the opening ceremony was carried out in the third round, and it had attracted more than 400 million monks to come to watch the ceremony, this terrifying number of people could not be accommodated even by the Divine Mansion, so most of these people were in other places in the Divine Mansion through mirror occult arts, only a few leaders or representatives of the big forces, as well as the powerful scattered cultivators of the famous side were eligible to be invited to the floating island to watch the ceremony, and the number was only 10,000. Despite this, in order to maintain order and prevent people from having bad intentions, the precautions of the Divine Mansion Floating Island have been strengthened dozens of times compared to the past, not to mention ordinary monks, even scattered immortals who have cultivated to the monstrous sky and comprehended the way of heaven As long as they are suspected of wrongdoing, they will be captured by the hidden masters in the Divine Mansion, and they will not be able to make a wave.

The human world is boundless, and there are countless forces from all sides, but on the whole, a group of monks led by the nine super forces has been formed, each with dozens of large forces, hundreds of medium-sized forces, and countless small forces. On the surface, it seems that the strength of the Shenfu Group is the weakest, and the strength under its command is the least, but in fact, the leaders of the other eight super forces know in their hearts that this is because the master of the Shenfu Mansion is relatively low-key, so although the forces under the command of the Shenfu seem to be sparse and ordinary, each side is a creeping dragon, and the hidden hole cards are extremely terrifying, and the Shenfu itself is a behemoth that has been sleeping. As far as the chess pieces that the major super forces have infiltrated into the current situation, the hole cards that the Divine Mansion knows are enough to rank in the top few of the nine super forces, not to mention that the Divine Mansion is hidden deep enough, and they are far from seeing through this monster. Therefore, an unstated rule has been circulated among several super forces: never offend the two behemoths of Wentianlou and Shenfu.

Having said that, on the floating island, where everyone gathered, less than two hundred teenagers who had passed the second round of the Bone Forging Cliff trial also came one after another, and Ye Cheng unsurprisingly became the focus of everyone's attention. This is also conceivable, whether it is the Soul Refining Bridge or the Bone Forging Cliff, this immature young man's performance is too dazzling.

The shy Ye Cheng naturally couldn't stand such treatment, and subconsciously hid behind Wang Yulei and the others, but they also couldn't stand the feeling of being watched, Wang Yulei and Jiang Bo also blushed once, and in the end, it was still the silly Shi Kui who acted as a shield.

After a commotion, Ye Cheng and the others finally had time to see the situation in front of them. In front of them was a bronze gate more than 20 zhang high, carved on the door a hideous beast with a green face and fangs, like a lion and a tiger, huge in size, fierce and cruel eyes staring at everyone, as if they would pounce out at any time and choose people to devour. Ye Cheng faintly felt that there seemed to be something suppressed behind the door, and it even had something to do with his own meaning.

"What's wrong!" Ye Cheng felt that his back was patted on the back, and only then did he come back from staring at the door for a long time, and when he looked back, Wang Yulei was looking at him suspiciously.

"I don't know, I feel like there's something waiting for me behind that door. Ye Cheng looked at the door and said with some inaccuracy.

Wang Yulei looked at Jiang Bo and Hu Xueli suspiciously, they shook their heads, saying that they didn't see it, as for Shi Kui, he had been reminiscing about yesterday's pastries, and his saliva was about to overflow the corners of his mouth. Wang Yulei wiped his cold sweat and said to Ye Cheng: "We don't have such feelings, could it be that you are wrong?"

"Maybe. Ye Cheng nodded hesitantly, subconsciously stroked his chest, and in his arms, there was a red weird bead that was heating up slightly.

Everyone waited for a while, and a middle-aged man in a green shirt appeared in place as suddenly as if he teleported, and the unparalleled coercion seemed to overflow unintentionally, which made everyone feel breathless, and the scene was suddenly quiet, and everyone focused on the middle-aged man.

"I've seen Elder Feng Qi!" Hundreds of white-clothed outer disciples and several inner disciples who stood out from the crowd who maintained order at the scene saluted the middle-aged man in green shirts in unison, their expressions full of respect. Nearly 10,000 people at the scene were shocked, and hurriedly saluted, one of the four elders of the Divine Mansion, regardless of identity and status, was worthy of their respect.

"Hehe, the old man doesn't need so much etiquette, as long as you don't break the rules of my Divine Mansion, you are a guest of my Divine Mansion, just feel free. "Just like the white pheasant, Feng Qi doesn't attach much importance to red tape, maybe it's because he follows a casual person like Ling Shenjue. Everyone unconsciously relaxed, but the respect in their expressions was even better, from the coercion that appeared at the beginning to shock the audience, to the later no shelf, this relaxation and relaxation, easily convinced the vast majority of people, this Fengqi is worthy of being an old monster who has lived for tens of thousands of years, whether it is cultivation or dealing with people, it can be called impeccable.

"The old man is the chief examiner of this Mirror Palace trial. This Mirror Palace Trial belongs to the third round of trials, in the Mirror Palace you will encounter all kinds of obstacles and even dangers, your task is to defeat all obstacles in the way forward, and collect as many blue gems as possible," Feng Qi inadvertently appeared in his hand a diamond-shaped gem the size of a fingernail, and continued, "When you finally walk out of the Mirror Palace, you will get more than ten gems to advance, and this gem will be helpful to you in the next round of trials." But remember, you only have time for three incense sticks, and after the three incense sticks, those who remain in the Mirror Palace will be eliminated. Feng Qi's words were still gentle, but the teenagers who took the exam became serious, it seems that the level of this Mirror Palace is not simple compared to the previous two rounds.

"Now, then, let's get started!" As the wind lifted its hand, a black crack more than seven feet long suddenly appeared in midair, and then a stone platform spat out of it and crashed to the ground. There are three incense sticks on the stone platform that are as thick as a baby's arm and more than two feet long, one of which has been lit, and it takes about an hour for such incense to burn out, which means that they have three hours in Yecheng. The exam-taking teenagers paid attention to the incense, while the others paid attention to the terrifying strength of Feng Qi to tear the space apart, this divine mansion was really unfathomable.

"Squeak-boom!" The bronze gate slowly opened, and a swirling black vortex appeared in front of everyone's eyes, like a black hole ready to devour everything. For a while, no one dared to step forward, and they all surrendered their eyes to Ye Cheng and the others, who had performed the most dazzling so far, waiting for them to make a move. Ye Cheng and the others looked at each other for a moment, and without words, they all understood what each other meant, a wonderful tacit understanding.

Several people walked together in front of the swirling black whirlpool, and in a flash of brilliance, several people disappeared together. When the other teenagers saw that there was nothing unusual, they entered the mirror palace in turn, not knowing what would await them. In the bamboo building, Ling Xi was holding a small ancient mirror, and the ancient mirror was showing the picture of several people from Ye Cheng entering the Mirror Palace, Ling Xiqiao's face was full of worry: "Brother Cheng, and everyone, come on!" Mrs. Ling on the side shouted a few times, and seeing that her daughter didn't promise herself, she couldn't help but have a strange smile on her face: It seems that her daughter is not old yet, so she will not stay.

In the Mirror Palace, Ye Cheng and the others came to a long white stone corridor, there was a carved lantern every seven steps or so in the corridor, but it was not dark, and on the wall was a mirror more than one person high, reflecting the mirror on the opposite wall, constantly refracting, and the walls on both sides seemed to have become a deep corridor, which seemed to be very mysterious and even weird.

The surroundings were very quiet, only the breathing of a few people could be heard, the lights on the wall shook from time to time, flashing the shadows cast by several people on the ground, reflecting the light and dark of people's faces, and the atmosphere was inexplicably weird.

"It's so cold here!" Hu Xueli said pitifully with his arms crossed, "Could there be anything strange?"

Looking at Hu Xueli's inexplicably frightened appearance, Jiang Bo was also a little frightened, but he still pretended to be indifferent: "You girls like to scare yourself, there are so many of us here, what are you afraid of?"

Wang Yulei nodded: "It's okay, there is no sunshine here all year round, and it is normal to be cold." But it's better to be careful. With that, he untied the long, unwielded black stick with strange patterns from his back, and looked around vigilantly with both hands in his hands. Hu Xueli also pulled out the white thin sword she was wearing, and the blade that flashed with cold light made her feel a little more at ease. Jiang Bo took out a folding fan glowing with golden light from his waist, and unfolded it with a "snap", and several sharp golden blades stretched out from the thirteen fan bones, and on the fan surface was a blood-colored ancient character: Life! A surging killing intent rushed towards him, and Jiang Bo's cynical prodigal temperament also became extremely cold, like a sharp blade out of the sheath. Shi Kui slammed his fists a few times, making a deafening loud noise, just like two copper hammers, and then showed a harmless smile of humans and animals, indicating that the fist was his weapon. Everyone subconsciously turned their eyes to Ye Cheng, but found that his face was different, his left hand was covering his chest, his right hand was stretched forward, as if he wanted to grasp something, his eyes were a little dazed, as if he was unconscious, his body involuntarily slammed towards the mirror on the wall, and an inexplicable sense of crisis suddenly appeared, and the coercion that was not much better than that on the Soul Refining Bridge swept away violently.

"Danger!" everyone exclaimed in unison, but Ye Cheng's right hand had already touched the wall, and a huge suction force came, and the mirror in front of Ye Cheng turned into a black vortex. Ye Cheng only then woke up, but it was too late, a frightened expression appeared on his face, and he didn't know what was waiting for him on the other side of the whirlpool.

"Run!" Ye Cheng's hoarse cry echoed through the long, cold corridor, but the person disappeared in place, leaving no trace??????
