Chapter 67
When the registration of the four Xianjia ferries and the four courtyard gates was completed, a full four hours had passed.
"There are a total of 94,382 students who have come to the Immortal Academy this time, and if you add many who are still on the way, at least 100,000."
The elders of the Affairs Hall reported to Wu Mingzi, the head of the Immortal Academy, who was flanked by the deacons and elders of the Great Zhou Dynasty and the Pingtian Sword Sect.
Even if the three of them had been mentally prepared, they were still very shocked to hear this number at this moment.
A sect that has existed for more than 2,000 years, and the total number of sects has reached 10,000 people, which is a big step.
After that, if the number of people continues to grow endlessly, but the sect does not grow with it, then sooner or later it will be overwhelmed, and resources will not be allocated, and in the long run, even if there are no external enemies, it will collapse on its own.
The Pingtian Sword Sect has been handed down from 10,000 years ago to the present, and the background is terrifying, just sitting in the sect on weekdays, there are four sword immortals.
However, there are only more than 10,000 people in the Pingtian Sword Sect, and this is still counting the disciples that the Sword Sect sends out to various places every year to guard affiliated sects or small countries.
Of course, these small countries are not like the Great Zhou Dynasty, they are purely influenced by the Great Zhou Dynasty, and the sect is clothed in the clothes of the state.
One of the reasons why there are few people in the Pingtian Sword Sect is that it is difficult to get started with the sword, unlike ordinary qi practitioners, who only need to refine qi into the body, and the way of the sword has requirements for sword intent, sword heart, swordsmanship, swordsmanship, etc., resulting in a very small number of people.
The second is that there was a split rebellion in the Pingtian Sword Sect four thousand years ago, and the number of the Pingtian Sword Sect at that time reached 40,000, which was extremely prosperous, and the entire Southern Lu Yongzhou almost bowed down to the vassals.
However, prosperity is only on the surface, and it has rotted internally.
The three Sword Immortals united their subordinates and 20,000 disciples to try to split the Pingtian Sword Sect.
After a tragic battle between the two sides, the blood of the three sword immortals was spilled in the sky, and the situation was critical, and they were about to lose to the separatist forces.
In the end, a clone of the first sect master of the Pingtian Sword Sect came forward and killed the last remaining sword immortal with a sword.
The 40,000-strong Pingtian Sword Sect was reduced to only 10,000 people, so the original sect master's clone established a rule that the sect size could only be 10,000 people, and left a sword light that could be used to kill rebels and foreign enemies.
Therefore, to support the cultivation of 100,000 people, the Great Zhou Dynasty and the Pingtian Sword Sect must join forces.
Wu Mingzi, the head of the courtyard, was the first to recover from the shock, waved his hand, and his voice was loud.
"Ring the bell and call the students."
While!
While!
While!
Three more bells rang to inform all students to assemble.
The crowd of black and oppressive, noisy voices, divided into four areas, surrounded by a square in the middle.
In the center of the square, there is a jade platform made of white marble, on the high platform, Wu Mingzi stands in the center, on both sides are two deacon elders, and behind are several elders and various hall masters.
"Everyone!" Wu Mingzi, the head of the courtyard, spoke, and his voice was calm and powerful.
For a moment the noisy crowd fell silent.
"Old man Immortal Academy, head Wu Mingzi."
"Thinking that since you have entered the Immortal Courtyard, then you must have an incomparable yearning for the long immortal journey, and you must not be willing to be mortal, then the Immortal Courtyard will be your best choice."
"In the Immortal Academy, you will not cut off your cultivation path because of your qualifications, but you must also do what you can, so I will test your qualifications next, so that you can have a number in your hearts."
Wu Mingzi's immortal wind bone, with a wave of his big sleeves, a ball of light appeared on the white jade platform, and nearly 100,000 beams of light shot out, accurately falling on everyone's hands.
Each person has a token in their hand, all of them are of the same color, and the material is like wood but it is not.
"The tokens in your hands will be a necessity in the fairy courtyard in the future, everything needs tokens, remember to put them away. Well, the tests begin. ”
"Wow! You see, the token is shining! ”
Someone exclaimed at the people around him, obviously mortal, but no one laughed at them.
A soft glow erupts from the token, enveloping the holder's hand.
"How do I feel about this light...... So comfortable? “
A soft light enters their bodies and tests their cultivation qualifications.
After a while, there was a glow on someone's body, a vision on someone, like a starry sky, and a faint glow on someone's body
On the day of early admission, everyone in the Immortal Courtyard, whether it was ninety-eight people or those who were admitted later, gathered together, and the old man in white that Chu Xiqing had seen before was only this time no longer obscure, but appeared in front of him as the head of the Immortal Courtyard.
The old man in white, the first head of the Immortal Academy, was named Wu Mingzi, when he took the initiative to reveal his identity, everyone without exception had respect and respect for Wu Mingzi in their eyes, only Chu Xiqing's face was full of shock.
He looked at Wu Mingzi, whose feet were slightly off the ground and suspended in the air, who smiled and winked at him.
Accompanying Wu Mingzi were the "teaching gentlemen" of the Immortal Academy in the future, some of whom took the initiative to ask for help from the Pingtian Sword Sect and the Great Zhou Dynasty, and some were transferred.
It is worth mentioning that Ye Junhao, who had been keeping to himself until this time and was unwilling to show the slightest trick, suddenly found Chu Xiqing and took the initiative to challenge him. Although it was proposed privately, there were still many people who came uninvited and watched coldly.
First, because this is the first time that there has been an internal challenge among the forty-nine people of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and the second is that Chu Xiqing and Ye Junhao had a lot of trouble about the evil demons outside the sky, although many people didn't say anything, they silently wrote it down in their hearts.
Chu Xiqing was very surprised at the beginning, and then he was a little excited, and he was worried that he had no chance to trouble Ye Junhao, so he took the initiative to send it to the door! Although he was very confused, he was very cautious and well prepared, enough to face most situations.
On the appointed day, the answer was revealed - it turned out that Ye Junhao had broken through the peak of spiritual cultivation and entered the early stage of Xuantai.
In the ring engraved with runes, Ye Junhao raised his chin slightly and looked at Chu Xiqing with a confident and powerful smile on his face.
Compared to the first fight in the mysterious space, the current Ye Junhao brings Chu Xiqing the feeling that it is like a tiger cub that has gone through cruel natural survival of the fittest and grows into an adult tiger, which is very dangerous.
This huge difference surprised Chu Xiqing, so he started with the killing move against the Yuan Shen in the Tianhe Yuan Sutra, intending to "educate" him after he lost consciousness.
However, the result surprised him, Ye Junhao's body only swayed back and forth slightly, and then he played a spell to break the Tianhe Yuan Sutra like no one.
This Tianhe Yuan Sutra has been tried and tested again and again so far, and the last time it was frustrated was to deal with that extraterrestrial demon in the mysterious space, this is the first time that it has no effect on Qi practitioners!
Chu Xiqing put away his contempt from then on, dealt with it seriously, no longer relied on Tianhe Yuanjing, and at the same time buried his eyes, if Ye Junhao pretended to be hit just now, Chu Xiqing was very likely to capsize in the gutter without defense.
