Chapter 164: Trial

"Brother, you're also here to join the Tianhe Sect?"

Xu Mu "squirmed" with the crowd, because there were too many people who came to sign up to join the Tianhe Sect, and there were many servants and family members, making the vicinity of the examination room almost crowded.

A young man in withered leaf-colored clothes was forcibly squeezed by the team to Xu Mu's side, and asked when he was bored.

"Why can you come here if you don't sign up at this time!" Xu Mu shrugged and said.

At this time, his doppelganger has reached the age of entry after being catalyzed by this spell.

"That's right! Ha ha! The young man scratched his head and reacted in a trance, asking himself a very stupid question, and his expression was a little more embarrassed.

"My name is Qi Yue, Qi who is level with the sky, Yue of the mountains, what is your name?"

"Xu Da!"

Xu Mu said.

"Xu Da? Do you still have a younger brother named Xu Er? Qi Yue asked instinctively.

"Nope!"

"Oh!"

"Where is your hometown? I am from Yuanlong City, Linxian Prefecture! ”

"I'm from Liyang Sect and Liyang City."

"Liyang Sect? Could it be the Liyang Sect near the Genting Mountains? ”

"Not bad!"

"That's a long way away! Why don't you worship directly under the Liyang Sect? Qi Yue said curiously.

"Liyang Sect is too small! I'm afraid of delaying my time to advance to the Yuan Baby! Xu Mu said casually.

“……”

The corners of Qi Yue's eyes twitched.

Advanced Primal Baby?

You can soar to the fairy realm with your cowhide boasting!

But soon he reacted and realized that Xu Mu was talking nonsense.

So the joke followed.

"I thought my brother was worried that the advanced god transformation was too slow, unlike me who was satisfied as long as I could advance and refine the void."

“……”

Xu Mu was speechless.

What he said just now was half-true, but he didn't expect the other party to blow it too.

"You can rest assured! When I advance to the Mahayana Heavenly Immortals, I will definitely help you advance to refine the void! ”

"I'm afraid that I'll advance to the Great Luo Dao Ancestor, and you're still in the Qi cultivation period!"

The two bragged to each other like this, and the people around them laughed, and the relationship between the two gradually became familiar.

Xu Muzhi didn't mind that the other party was just a little kid, and they chatted happily.

As the crowd flowed, they soon arrived, and after the two were registered, they broke away from the crowd and went to a nearby square.

It is a place where all the people who have signed up are between the ages of nine and twelve.

"Are we going to join the Tianhe Sect like this?"

A girl in a pink dress seemed to be talking to herself, as if she was asking.

Qi Yue replied very familiarly: "How is it possible! There are four or five thousand people here, even if the Tianhe Sect is a Yuanying Sect, it can't afford to supply so many people to cultivate! ”

"As far as I know, we still have to go through the test of three levels before we can officially worship the Tianhe Sect!" A young man in a green coat spoke.

"Do you know what the three levels are?" Someone else spoke.

In this way, seven or eight teenagers and girls gathered into a makeshift group, and the surrounding situation was almost the same.

Because Xu Mu was close to Qi Yue, he was naturally divided, although he didn't speak from beginning to end.

Although these young girls and teenagers had listened to their families before they came, their knowledge was still very limited.

The reason is also very simple, their status is not high.

There are two kinds of disciples recruited by the Tianhe Sect, one is to recommend, and those affiliated big families and big forces can send the excellent seedlings of the family directly.

The other is the once-in-a-decade apprenticeship ceremony, which is also the only opportunity for ordinary cultivators to worship the Tianhe Sect, which is almost equivalent to the fish leaping into the Dragon Gate.

That is to say, the four or five thousand teenagers and girls in front of them are all ordinary casual cultivators, and their parents may not know much news, let alone them.

Xu Mulai asked Chi Feiyan to inquire before, and he should know the assessment and the content of the assessment best.

The assessment of the Tianhe Sect is divided into three levels, one level tests the talent, one level tests the heart, as long as you pass the first two levels, you can join the Tianhe Sect, and the third level is the comprehensive test, which will divide the disciples into three, six, nine and so on.

Not too long has passed, and after everyone has signed up, the assessment will officially begin.

A large boat large enough to ride the predecessors stopped on the shore, and several Tianhe Sect disciples dressed in white guarded the entrance.

"Board the ship!"

Some disciples shouted loudly, and the sound spread for ten miles.

"This boat is so small, are there so many of us on it?"

Someone wondered.

Even if the teenager is not as good as the adult, the ship obviously cannot be overloaded by four or five times.

"You stupid! Wouldn't it be nice to go back and forth a few times later! Someone said with a self-conscious mind.

"That's too much trouble, isn't it?"

Someone looked up at the Tianhe Sect Mountain Gate located in the air and said.

There are two ways to go to the Tianhe Sect, one is to fly up directly, and the other is to take a boat and go up the river.

They are so uncultivated, it is obviously impossible to fly, but with the background of the Tianhe Sect, it is not difficult to find a few flying boats.

So they really don't understand, is it necessary to use a boat to pull back and forth?

Some people who knew the specific situation couldn't help but laugh.

"Not enough? Ha ha! I don't think there's going to be any extra space! ”

"What do you mean?"

The crowd was puzzled.

At this moment, the boy and girl who were waiting for the boat by the nearest river had a problem.

"What's going on? Why can't I get up? ”

When someone stepped on the stairs to the boat, he seemed to be pushed by an invisible force and flew out directly, but the people who were traveling with him got on the boat smoothly.

The young man who was pushed out was not convinced, and wanted to continue to board the boat, but the Tianhe Sect, who was guarding at the entrance, raised his sleeve fan and flew out.

"If you can't board the boat, it's because you don't have enough talent, don't get in the way here!"

At this time, everyone knew that getting on the ship was the first test.

And depending on the size of the ship, the first level may have to remove more than half of the people.

"This, that's too cruel, isn't it? It can't be scary, right? ”

Some people don't quite believe it.

Generally, those who dare to come to apprentice think that they have a little talent, otherwise they would not have traveled thousands of miles to Tianhe Sect, and just worship some small sects and small forces, and as a result, most of their "little geniuses" will be eliminated in the first level.

No one answered, but one by one they couldn't help but feel apprehensive.

Only Xu Mu knew that for the Tianhe Sect, having the talent of the foundation building period was the minimum standard, and it was not necessary to become the foundation building at all, and if they wanted to be cannon fodder in the qi training period, they could recruit a bunch of them at any time.

And for most cultivators, ninety percent of their talents are in the early and middle stages of Qi cultivation, such as Xu Mu, who was still in the early stage of Qi cultivation in his sixties, although cruel, it was the norm in the cultivation world.

As for these self-righteous geniuses, in fact, they have the level of talent of Leng Yuening and Si Tan'er, and they have the opportunity to become a foundation, but the chance is not great, and the premise of all this is to invest a lot of resources.

For the forces of the foundation building period, and even the forces of the Jindan period, this can be regarded as a talent, but for the Tianhe Sect, it is completely meaningless.

Spending the same amount of resources, whether to cultivate a hundred Zhuji or a Jindan, the Tianhe Sect will decisively choose to cultivate a Jindan.

To put it simply, the Tianhe Sect follows an elite strategy, and they all go to the Jindan period to accept disciples, so this elimination ratio is not high at all.

As more and more people were eliminated, everyone also realized the cruelty, so much so that those who boarded the ship cried with joy, and those who did not board hugged their heads and cried, begging for another chance.

But the disciples of the Tianhe Sect did not have any mercy.

Soon, it was the turn of the small group of Xu Mu and Qi Yue.

"Brother, I'm a little nervous, can you let me pull your clothes?"

Qi Yue's palms were sweaty, and he pulled Xu Mu's clothes and asked.

"You, who are about to become Dao Ancestors, still care about this test." Xu Mu said with a smile.

"Wozhi! Brother, sometimes don't make such jokes, it's too embarrassing to be eliminated in case you are eliminated! ”

Qi Yue said with a sad face.

"Don't worry, I trust you."

Xu Mu patted him on the shoulder and said.

"Brother, could it be that you can also see that I am the legendary dragon and phoenix among people?" Qi Yue was surprised.

It was because when he was in the family that he was inspected by a wandering cultivator, saying that he was the dragon and phoenix among the people, and his talent was extraordinary, so he came from thousands of miles away.

"Not really."

"What do you mean?"

"I mean, I believe in you, and you can stand it even if you are eliminated."

“……”

What is this comfort for you? Not much comfort?

Qi Yue, who was comforted by Xu Mu in reverse, relaxed a little, and the two walked up the steps together, and an invisible force immediately enveloped them.

Qi Yue didn't feel it, but Xu Mu felt it clearly.

Neither of them was pushed away, and boarded the ship smoothly.

"I made it!"

Qi Yue, who was a little prostrate, his face turned red with excitement, and he shook his fist heavily.

"See, brother! I really have the destiny to become a patriarch! Qi Yue couldn't help but say proudly.

He didn't realize at all that there were already hundreds of people on the ship, and if he could become a Yuan Infant Ancestor after passing the first level, then the Yuan Infant Ancestor would be too simple.

"Then I'll congratulate you in advance!"

"You're welcome! When I become the ancestor of the Yuanying Sect, I will definitely make you the sect master of the Tianhe Sect! Ha ha! ”

As soon as he passed the first hurdle, Qi Yue regained his optimistic nature.

The two of them passed the test smoothly, and the remaining few people in the same small group, except for the girl in pink, were all eliminated.

"It's so pathetic, I think they're pretty good." Qi Yue said with a little regret.

The few people chatted quite happily below just now, and they even started to think about joining the sect and going to experience it together.

If you become a person of two worlds in the blink of an eye, you will know that it will be difficult to see each other again without thinking about the future.

After all the people were screened, there were originally four or five thousand teenagers and girls, and only six or seven hundred people finally boarded the ship.

And secretly Tianhe Sect's statement is already the largest in recent decades.

In the envy of many young boys and girls, the boat slowly sailed away from the river bank and sailed upstream towards Tianhezong.

The Tianhe Sect is hundreds of meters in the air, the slope of the river is close to sixty degrees, under normal circumstances, it is impossible for the water to flow upward, let alone with such a large boat, the reason why such a spectacle appears is naturally the power of the formation.

The boy and girl, who had experienced such a scene for the first time, couldn't help but walk to the edge of the boat and look outside.

The river seems to be bound by an invisible river channel, going upstream, and in the crystal clear river water, there are many strange water creatures, except for the countercurrent that violates the laws of physics, there is no difference from normal river water in other aspects.

"Brother Xu, why don't you go and take a look? Seeing that a lot of them are spirit fish, I can only catch them and grill them, and they must be delicious! ”

Qi Yue smacked his mouth a few times.

"If you want to eat fish, let's wait until you join the Tianhe, be careful, it's coming soon."

After speaking, Xu Mu sat down cross-legged directly.

To be honest, he didn't know the bottom of this level, because his divine soul was different from others and belonged to a parasitic soul, and he didn't know if the formation of the Tianhe Sect could be checked out.

"What's coming?"

Qi Yue looked puzzled.

At this time, the ship had already traveled halfway, and as long as it passed through the area covered in thick fog in front of it, it could reach the front of the mountain gate of the Tianhe Sect.

Before Qi Yue could figure out the meaning of Xu Mu's words, the ship had already sailed into the dense fog area.

"Ahhh

The young boys and girls, who were still elated, suddenly let out a scream, fell to the ground and kept rolling with their heads in their hands.

"It's ...... Yes! ”

Qi Yue was stunned for a moment, and then he felt countless small insects crawling around in his head, and the feeling was so uncomfortable that he almost went crazy.

Many boys and girls couldn't bear it anymore and fell into a coma on the spot.

Qi Yue glanced down at Xu Mu, sat down cross-legged, and tried his best to endure it.

He knew in his heart that if he passed out, he would probably be eliminated.

This area of dense fog is not very long, but it seems like a century has passed in the perception of everyone.

By the time the uncomfortable feeling had subsided, everyone was drenched as if they had been fished out of the water.

"It's here! Get off board! ”

The Tianhe Sect disciple who was in charge of steering the boat shouted loudly.

The boys and girls, who were not unconscious, staggered to their feet as if they had collapsed, and walked under the boat.

Xu Mu also opened his eyes, and his pupils flickered slightly.

"It turned out to be just a mental attack, but it gave me a false alarm!"

Xu Mu muttered in his heart.

"If that's the case, I might be able to fight for the top three!"

According to the intelligence he obtained, the higher the ranking, the more resources he obtained.

The more resources he gets, the faster his doppelganger will definitely progress, and the sooner he can get Tianyi Divine Water.

From the beginning, he didn't intend to let this clone Taoguang cultivate obscurity, but was ready to show his edge and soar into the sky, after all, his ontology would not spend hundreds of years for the same cultivation resources.

If it was the main body, he would definitely not do such a showy thing, but since it was a clone, it didn't matter.

It's a big deal, as long as he is willing, even the Primordial Ancestor will not want to track his body through this clone.

Just as Xu Mu was about to get up and get off the boat, Qi Yue reached out and grabbed him.

"Brother, help me! I have leg cramps! ”

“……”

Xu Mu was speechless.

He stretched out his hand to help him up, limped off the boat, and when he was about to go down, the Tianhe Sect disciple in charge looked at the two of them a few more times.

In fact, Qi Yue is cheating, but fortunately, it is not excessive, as long as he is not unconscious, he can be regarded as passing.

By the time everyone had gone down, there were less than two hundred left.

"From today on, you are the disciples of the Tianhe Sect, and the next step is the last level, which will test your talent in an all-round way, and the outstanding ones can directly become the true disciples of the Tianhe Sect!"

The elder of the Tianhe Sect, who was in charge of the reception, led everyone to a white jade step, pointed to the steps that extended into the depths of the mist and said, "The higher the steps you climb, the better your grades will be, let's start!" ”

"Elder, how high is this step? What if it comes to the end? Qi Yue asked curiously.

The elder looked at him and said, "How tall?" You climb up first! As for the results, they are naturally calculated on a first-come-first-served basis. ”

"Successively?"

The disciples who reacted immediately rushed to start climbing the steps, wanting to take the lead.

"Brother, let's go!"

Qi Yue pulled Xu Mu to run up the steps, and at this time his legs were no longer cramping.

Xu Mu's eyes flickered, but he didn't stop it, and let Qi Yue pull him up the steps.

The moment he stepped on the steps, Qi Yue's figure disappeared, and the scene in front of Xu Mu's eyes changed suddenly, becoming a sea of corpses and blood full of gloomy aura.

"It's the Heart Refining Array!"
