Chapter 499: Elite Gathering
The secret realm is at the edge of the area where the platinum beast is located, although the evil qi escaping from there is very useful to the beasts, but perhaps because they know the danger of that secret realm, not many beasts dare to approach. [Ran^Text^Library] []
Therefore, as early as when the human swordsman discovered that secret realm, he had already sent people to clear a vacuum, and there was no more fierce beast nearby.
From the outside, the secret realm was more like a magnificent teleportation hall, and at this time, the entire hall was already full of people, and there were thousands of swordsmen gathered around, with a trace of eagerness and excitement on their faces.
These people are basically casual cultivators, not all of them are qualified to enter, except for the five places within the major forces themselves, only the golden high level can enter the secret realm in the casual cultivation.
You must know that casual cultivation is already very difficult, and it is not easy to be able to cultivate to silver, let alone gold, which is still high-level.
However, the cultivation realm is too big after all, and this time the Taiyin Demon Cave was opened, and there were too many swordsmen attracted, even if they were one in a million, there were hundreds of people who reached the strength of the golden high level or above.
Originally, the major forces didn't plan to let so many people enter the secret realm, hundreds of scattered cultivators, plus the major forces, the total number of people was close to four figures. However, when it was proposed, there was no opposition.
For casual cultivation, it is natural to be happy to be able to get some more places, but I don't know that the reason why the major forces do not oppose it is because casual cultivation is not a threat to the disciples of various forces.
In fact, because the casual cultivation has not undergone systematic cultivation, in the case of the same level, it will always be a lot worse than the disciples of the forces in terms of comprehensive strength, and the reason why so many scattered cultivators are also involved is because the major forces have not yet fully figured out the situation in this secret realm, and they only know that the danger is very great.
Although wealth is in danger, if they can have a harvest without taking too much risk, why don't they do it?
Therefore, although the heads of various forces did not say it explicitly, they tacitly understood that most of these loose cultivators went in to be cannon fodder and used as stepping stones for their own disciples.
Of course, it can't be said that the people of the major forces are not kind, after all, the secret realm is opened, and you can compete with your own means in it, if your strength is enough, you can not be cannon fodder, and it is even possible to gain a lot and retreat.
But if your strength is not good, even if you are used as a stepping stone by others, then you can only say that you are not self-sufficient, and you have to enter the secret realm, and you can't complain about others.
In any case, when entering the secret realm, everyone is on the same level, at most, it is just because the strength of the power disciples is stronger, and if there are also outstanding ones in the casual cultivation, they will naturally not become cannon fodder.
Not to mention that the major forces are clear, in fact, all the scattered cultivators themselves also understand it in their hearts, but they are not like the disciples of those forces, they have a comfortable cultivation environment, have various cultivation resources, and if they want to improve their strength, they must work hard by themselves, and many times they even fight with their lives for a little profit.
For these casual cultivators, the danger of entering the secret realm is much greater than that of the disciples of the forces, but it does not mean that there is no hope at all, after entering the secret realm, as long as they can guarantee that they can come back alive, they will have some gains.
If the harvest is a little bigger, then it will definitely be able to make a splash in the future, and it may be favored by a certain force and recruited into it.
Any cultivator has a bit of a gambler's mentality, otherwise they wouldn't have chosen this path of changing their lives against the sky, wouldn't it be better to live the life of an ordinary person in peace?
There were a lot of people outside the main hall, but the overall situation was orderly, there was not much chaos, just waiting for the time agreed by the major forces to arrive, they could directly enter it and explore.
Of course, in order to prevent everyone from rushing to the top and causing chaos, all forces have also sent powerful figures to sit in charge, so that those who have not obtained the qualification to enter will not dare to act rashly, so as not to disturb the order.
Although Xiao Ning stayed with the people in the Tianlong Inner Courtyard, he seemed a little unsociable, not because he was so tall, but because others didn't want to get close to him.
On the contrary, it is Gu Ling, whenever she appears in a place, it will inevitably cause an exclamation around her, no one can resist her beautiful posture, even a female swordsman will be stunned for a long time.
However, Gu Ling's heart is really calm and terrifying, no matter what happens around, she always looks like she is not salty, she follows Xiao Ning closely, and she doesn't know how many jealous eyes she has attracted to Xiao Ning.
Finally, when it was time to enter the secret realm, when the powerhouse of a certain big force activated the entrance to the secret realm that was temporarily sealed, the brilliance exploded, and the huge teleportation array instantly released a thousand zhang of glorious light, like a pillar of heaven rising into the sky.
Those who were qualified to enter the secret realm were placed close to the main hall, and soon this group of people was enveloped in the light.
In an instant, Xiao Ning felt as if he had entered a spatial tunnel, and countless pictures around him quickly passed by him like phantoms.
After about a pillar of incense, the light of the teleportation array gradually weakened, and when the brilliance was completely dissipated, a magnificent ancient mountain appeared in front of him in an instant.
The whole body of the ancient mountain is black, and it is huge and boundless at a glance. The thick black mountain is covered with large and small cracks, exuding a ** like an ancient flood of ancient years.
Xiao Ning's pupils contracted violently, not surprised by being suddenly teleported to this place, but the black ancient mountain in front of him gave people a feeling of eternal existence and immortality.
At this time, nearly a thousand swordsmen had gathered at the foot of the mountain, and these people were qualified to enter the secret realm and be teleported in, and everyone had an irrepressible impulse in their hearts.
The situation in the secret realm has already spread, compared to the danger here, everyone is more concerned about the many heavenly treasures, for the swordsman, as long as they go out, there will be danger, and they don't know how many times they have encountered it.
However, although I wanted to run up the mountain all at once, I still lined up honestly at this time, after all, the road up the mountain was not wide, and the disciples of the power would always get special treatment, and they would go up the mountain first.
Thousands of people say more or less, and the bustling crowd gathers at the foot of the mountain, bringing a touch of vitality to this eternal ancient mountain.
Xiao Ning also followed the crowd and walked towards the mountain with the ancient spirit, I have to say that this ancient mountain is very mysterious, and those large and small cracks are like scars, all over the entire ancient mountain area.
From time to time, you can see streams of rich evil qi gushing out from those cracks, and then slowly escaping. As a swordsman, everyone can sense that the evil qi on Taiyin Mountain has become stronger, which is caused by this.
However, it is said that this is only a secret outer space, and you still need to go through a certain distance before you can really enter the secret realm.
When Xiao Ning came to the top of the mountain with the ancient spirit, hundreds of people had already gathered here. At a glance, the figures stood silently on the top of the mountain, even if they didn't do anything, they still naturally exuded a strong aura around them.
This was the first to reach the top of the mountain, and it was also one of the most powerful people in the cultivation realm of the forces who entered the secret realm this time, and they were also the pride of the heavens of their respective forces.
Xiao Ning and the group of people in the Tianlong Inner Courtyard are actually not very conspicuous among these people, after all, although the Tianlong Inner Courtyard is a place that many casual cultivators and second- and third-level academy students yearn for, it is still the bottom existence in the eyes of the forces that are really at the peak of the cultivation world.
The three personal disciples who had been high in front of Xiao Ning before, after coming to the top of the mountain, they were a little inhibited, even if their cultivation was not too different, but they had different backgrounds, and they also formed different momentum and strength.
In this case, in fact, the higher the cultivation, the more obvious it is, the personal disciples of the Tianlong Inner Court are already very powerful compared to the scattered cultivation, but compared to the disciples of those top forces, there is still a big gap.
This is not only reflected in the aspect of strength, but also because of the different positions in the cultivation world on weekdays, and the momentum formed is also different, to put it thoroughly, it is the word self-confidence.
Xiao Ning pouted at the three personal disciples, they were also first-level forces, but the difference was really too big.
With Xiao Ning's current strength, he can barely compare with the golden peak disciples of the Heavenly Dragon Inner Court, but in the face of those disciples of the more top forces, he should be slightly weaker. However, his mentality is very good, even in the face of these people, he will not show timidity.
Therefore, when the five of them went up the mountain, it looked like Xiao Ning, an elite hall student, had led a few personal disciples to come, with their heads held high, and they didn't care about the surprised gaze that others showed when they sensed his silver two-star cultivation.
However, because of the ancient spirit standing beside him, although everyone was very surprised by Xiao Ning's cultivation, their attention was quickly distracted by the ancient spirit.
The people who went up to the top of the mountain first represent the southern cultivation world, the top people of the younger generation, whether they are the top in cultivation or in mind, although they are all shocked by the ancient spirits, and some people may have some thoughts in their hearts, but in this case, there are no more incidents, and even gossip has not come out.
Compared with the personal disciples of the Heavenly Dragon Inner Court, these people obviously have better cultivation, or they have a more determined pursuit of swordsmanship.
Xiao Ning also took advantage of this time to start looking at this group of people, for him, maybe some of them would be his biggest opponents after entering the secret realm.
said that he is the top figure of the younger generation, but in fact it is only relatively speaking, and it is naturally impossible to measure all teenagers like Xiao Ning in terms of age.
In fact, the younger generation is talking about a whole generation, and the upper limit can reach fifty years old, otherwise it would be impossible to pull out so many gold-level swordsmen.
For Xiao Ning's age, he naturally suffers a little, but here is not only Xiao Ning's talent is amazing enough, even if the minimum standard is gold high-level, some of them are only in their twenties.
