Demons, Holy Flame Plain.

Skyfire City.

The day of the Great Comparison of the Spiritual Courtyard was approaching, and the Heavenly Fire City began to become crowded, and everywhere you could see demon monks from other realms and disciples and elders of the five major spiritual courtyards who had come to the city in advance.

Cao Chuan did not follow the team of the Fire Spirit Academy, but arrived at Heavenly Fire City from other times with Wen Jinghao.

At this time, in the Heavenly Fire City, in order to meet the upcoming Lingyuan Dabi, tall and wide rings had been erected, all distributed in an amphitheater that was enough to occupy one-third of the city's land.

As more and more people arrived, there were fewer and fewer vacant seats in the arena.

When the atmosphere rose to a high point, a white-haired old man with a spear on his back stepped into the air, and slowly landed in the center of the arena under the eager gaze of everyone, looking around with his cloudy but slightly charming eyes.

As the enthusiastic shouts of the people around him finally came to an end, the white-haired old man took off the spear he was carrying, and then plunged it into the ground, and at the same time drank loudly, and the evil qi in his body instantly enveloped the huge ring directly.

At the same time, the high-spirited white-haired old man shouted to the people around him: "Everyone! Today is a good day for our five demon academies to have a big competition! It is also today that we will once again rank the five major spiritual academies, and the spiritual academies that have won the most in the ring battle will become the first of the five spiritual academies of our demon race! At the same time, you will also get the best treasures given by the demons! ”

Looking at the spear on the table, which trembled slightly, as if in response to his own spear, the white-haired old man took out a storage bag, and then reached out and took out one of the things hidden in it.

A piece of jade shaped like a key was held in the hand of the white-haired old man and shone brightly, and the flickering light was even more dazzling than the sun overhead, making people unable to open their eyes.

"What is this? It doesn't seem like a treasure, it's just a key, right? ”

"You don't understand that, do you? The origin of this key is not small. ”

"Oh? What else can a key come from? ”

In an instant, the entire arena became extremely interested in the key in the white-haired old man's hand, and they all wanted to know why this key could be used as a reward for the winner of the Spiritual Academy.

After all, in the past, the Lingyuan Dabi used all kinds of heavenly treasures as rewards, and it was indeed more attractive.

But there were also monks who knew something about the key sitting in their seats and whispered to the people beside them: "This key is not an ordinary key, but a key made of natural spirit stones, do you think what can be opened with this kind of key?" ”

"I think the rewards of this spiritual academy competition must be extremely rich, otherwise why don't you just take things out? Instead, you have to come out with a key? ”

Some people are speculating that the key may be a natural treasure, but they don't see it.

Some people are speculating that the key will open a huge treasure house, and the treasure house is the reward of this spiritual courtyard competition.

At this time, the white-haired old man standing in the center of the ring threw the key in his hand into the air.

Then I saw that the key suddenly turned as if it had been inserted into the keyhole.

In the next second, a sound of a machine turning was heard, and a door slowly opened in the surprised eyes of everyone, revealing a huge pitch-black void.

In the black hollow, you can see countless swords, guns, halberds, and various treasures existing in it.

This situation instantly ignited the atmosphere that had just fallen silent.

Almost everyone was shouting for the old man to hurry up and announce the reward for this spiritual courtyard competition.

The white-haired old man was not in a hurry, but put the key away first, and then chuckled and said, "Actually, as you can see, this key opens the entire treasure house, and it is also the first time in hundreds of years that the Spirit Courtyard Dabi has opened this treasure house. ”

"In other words, the reward for this spiritual courtyard competition is this key and the treasure house that can be opened with this key."

"I wonder if you're satisfied?"

As soon as the words fell, the entire arena became full of people, and everyone who knew it for a long time or only began to cheer enthusiastically.

Countless people have begun to be filled with a higher desire for this spiritual temple competition than ever before.

And in the crowd.

Although he also followed the people of the Fire Spirit Academy to Tianhuo City, Cao Chuan, who did not sit with the people of the Fire Spirit Academy, fell into deep thought.

Because at the moment when the white-haired old man took out the key, Mu Qingqiu, who was sleeping in the sea of knowledge, suddenly spoke.

"This key looks familiar," she says. ”

Without waiting for Cao Chuan to ask Mu Qingqiu what the key was, Mu Qingqiu suddenly shouted very excitedly in the depths of the sea of knowledge: "I remember this key!" ”

"That's not right! It should be said that there are actually four such keys, each of which can open an extremely mysterious treasure vault space. ”

"But more importantly, once you collect the four Treasury Keys, you can open another mysterious space, and this mysterious space leads to the sky!"

"Heavenly?" Cao Chuan's eyes widened, and he asked in disbelief: "Is Senior Mu talking about the spirit world?" ”

Mu Qingqiu nodded and continued: "But this is just a legend, it's just that when I saw that key, I suddenly thought of this legend that has been circulated for hundreds of years and no one can confirm it. ”

"But I can feel that there are indeed a lot of treasures hidden in that dark space, and even if the legend is false, it is a great thing to be able to get that key."

"It's just that looking at your appearance, it doesn't seem that you have much interest in this spiritual courtyard Dabi?"

Cao Chuan nodded first, then shook his head again.

Finally, he spoke: "Senior Mu, what you said is right, in fact, I don't have much interest in the Spirit Courtyard Dabi, after all, in the past three months, I have successfully obtained the fire power of the Heavenly Mother Fire, and with the help of the Chaos Divine Tree, I no longer need to go to the Fire Burning Spring, so even if the Fire Burning Spring is occupied by other Spirit Courtyards now, I will not have any loss." ”

"It's just that I'm curious about that legend."

Turning his head to look at Wen Jinghao, who had been looking at him all along, Cao Chuan was silent for a moment and said, "So I want to verify the legend and see if there is a possibility of going to the spirit world." ”

"So, you're planning to show your hand in this spiritual courtyard competition?" Mu Qingqiu laughed.

"Perhaps."

Cao Chuan still shook his head, chuckled and said, "Let's see if I need to play in the Fire Spirit Academy, if I need to play, I will play, if not, then let it be." ”

"You can't force anything, otherwise you may suffer a backlash, which is not good."

After speaking, Cao Chuan became silent again, and Mu Qingqiu began to continue his sleep.

Wen Jinghao withdrew her gaze on Cao Chuan, and a slightly complicated look appeared on her face, making it impossible to see what she was thinking at this time.

······

The Spiritual Courtyard was soon announced.

According to the rules of the Great Competition of the Spiritual Academy, the five Great Spiritual Academies will each send six Inner Sect disciples and three Inner Door Elders to conduct each round of the competition, and then determine the ranking of the Five Great Spiritual Academies by the number of winners.

Today's competition is the Golden Spirit Courtyard and the Earth Spirit Courtyard among the five major spiritual courtyards.

The Golden Spirit Academy and the Earth Spirit Academy can be said to be famous among the five major spirit academies, because these two spirit academies have always been strong contenders for the bottom two, and the strength is so bad that even many clan forces on the human race side have heard of it.

Now that the disciples and elders of these two spiritual academies are competing on stage, it naturally makes many people laugh.

Cao Chuan took advantage of this time to take Wen Jinghao and leave the scene temporarily.

After all, it will be the day after tomorrow to compete in the ring of the Fire Spirit Academy, so he does not plan to stay in the arena in the past two days, but chooses to take Wen Jinghao to walk around the Heavenly Fire City.

Heavenly Fire City is the largest town in the entire Sacred Fire Plain, and not only has the semicolon of the Glazed Heavenly Treasure Pavilion, but also many interesting and mysterious places that have not been explored.

So after leaving the arena, Cao Chuan took Wen Jinghao to settle down in a restaurant to rest.

By the way, while drinking and eating, I listened to some things that might be interesting from the small talk of the people around me.
