The City Lord's Mansion is located in the central area of Yuanyang City, which is heavily guarded in the most prosperous area, and the tall palace attic is divided into several areas.

The Zongmen Hall is located on the east side of the outer perimeter of the Castle Lord's Mansion, and because it involves sect business, the streets around it are particularly lively, and the headquarters of forces such as the Wanbao Dojo and the Medicine King Hall are not far from here.

Yan Xu had no time to care, and stepped into the sect hall through the noisy commotion, and there were four Yuan Infant guards standing at the door, walking calmly and vigorously.

In addition to the guards, several formations circulated in the main hall, and the noise insulation ban blocked the noisy noise out of the door, and Yan Xu's ears suddenly calmed down as soon as he stepped into the hall.

The whole hall is in the shape of a round arch, and in the middle stands an ice-blue statue of a mythical beast with teeth and claws.

This divine beast has a dragon head and horse hooves, and there is a pair of horns on its forehead, and the edges and scales are delicate, lifelike like a living thing, Yan Xu's consciousness was in a trance, and the divine beast opened its huge mouth and rushed to the face.

Yan Xu calmed his mind and closed his eyes slightly, and suddenly the illusion disappeared without a trace, and the statue of the divine beast stood quietly in the center of the main hall, motionless.

Everything that happened just now, the illusion formed by the coercion of this statue in front of him in the sea of consciousness, it seems that time is long, but in fact, only a breath of time has passed, and everything around Yan Xu is clear again.

"It's so strong that I can't breathe."

The three monks who were walking together stepped into the sect hall behind Yan Xu, and one of them gasped in a cold sweat, it took him five breaths longer than Yan Xu to recover his senses.

And the other companion beside him had not yet come back to his senses, his eyes were stunned and he stood in place, and he was tapped on the shoulder several times before he came back to his senses.

"What just happened? My consciousness seems to be imprisoned. ”

"Look at your little bit of talent, you can't even withstand the coercion of the Ice and Fire Qilin Statue of the Protector Divine Beast, don't say I know you." The gray-robed middle-aged man who was the leader of the three said.

"This is the statue of the Ice and Fire Qilin? It came back to life and almost devoured me. The companion sighed with palpitations.

"I've seen it for a long time, there is a statue of an ice and fire unicorn in each of the eighteen cities of Great Xia that contains a wisp of distraction, so the demon king of the Southern Heaven Demon Domain does not dare to approach. Once there is a small approach, it will be suppressed directly. The gray-robed monk triumphantly struck down to his companion.

Compared with the unbearable of the two, the gray-robed middle-aged monk is much more chic. This is not the first time he has come, he has been running to the sect hall before, and he is already quite familiar with the coercion of the Ice and Fire Qilin statue.

But Rao is like this, it took him two breaths to wake up, half a beat slower than Yan Xu.

The three of them passed by Yan Xu, and when the gray-robed middle-aged monk passed by, he glanced at Yan Xu and said secretly: "This person is actually faster than me, and it seems that he often comes to the sect hall." ”

Yan Xu heard the three of them talking. Touching his chin and carefully looking at the statue of the Ice and Fire Qilin.

Above the arched hall of the Zongmen Palace, the top of the hollow hall reaches straight to the sky. The dazzling sunlight sprinkled on the scale armor of the Ice and Fire Qilin was shining, adding a bit of majesty to it.

In the darkness, streams of purple luck surrounded the statue of the Ice and Fire Qilin, rising into the sky in a spiral and disappearing into the void.

Purple luck mixed with dots of golden light disappeared into the vast sky.

"The Great Xia Dynasty's Protector Divine Beast is really good, guarding the luck of the eight directions of Central Continent. Just its statue has such power, and its deity doesn't know what realm it has reached. Yan Xu sighed sincerely.

Ice and Fire Qilin, ranked fifth on the list of ancient beasts, although the bloodline is not the top existence. But it's already quite terrifying, and looking at its posture, it's decided to be at its peak.

The Ancient Beast List only selects the potential of bloodlines and talents, as for the final strength, it depends on the realm of cultivation.

This is also why, the Heaven Devouring Rat King ranked sixteenth on the list of ancient beasts and was seriously injured by the Black Wind Demon King, which is really too much of a bad realm.

If it was an ordinary demon beast with supernatural bloodlines, such a big disparity in strength would definitely be killed on the spot. Where can you escape with half a life.

The original ice-blue statue of the divine beast suddenly transformed into red, as if it had been burned red by fire, and the ice and fire unicorn had two forms, ice and fire, and even this characteristic of the statue was retained.

Yan Xu retracted his thoughts and walked straight towards the office counter on the inside of the main hall.

"What do you do?" Yan Xu was greeted by a young and beautiful waitress with a sweet and moving voice.

"My first time here. I came to do the sect certification. Li Yang had prepared the things needed to handle the affairs for him, and Yan Xu handed them over.

"Your Excellency is a newcomer, right? Don't know what level of sect to certify? The waitress counted the things Yan Xu handed over and asked softly.

"One-star sect of the ground level." Yan Xu replied.

The waitress was slightly taken aback, and then regained her expression and said, "This is beyond my authority, please wait a while, I will go and ask the deputy hall master." ”

The waitress confessed and hurried out of the hall to ask the deputy hall master.

Soon. The waitress reappeared and led Yan Xu into a room in the inner hall.

The room is large, spacious and bright, in the same style as the main hall outside, and there is also a statue of an ice and fire unicorn on the table, although it is not accompanied by coercion, but the workmanship is very fine.

A peaceful-looking, blue-robed middle-aged monk sat behind a desk, busy working on a paperwork.

"Wait for me for a moment." The middle-aged monk glanced at Yan Xu and worked hard to finish the official document at hand.

Yan Xu nodded, signaling that he was not in a hurry.

After half a pillar of incense, the middle-aged monk put the official document aside, then looked at Yan Xu carefully, and then introduced himself: "I am Jin Zonghuan, the deputy hall master of the sect hall, and you want to certify the first-star sect of the ground level?" ”

"Yes, I am Yan Xu, the head of the Tianhao Sect, and I came here for this purpose." Yan Xu replied crisply.

Jin Zonghuan was silent for a moment, and then said slowly: "The Earth-level sect, even if it is only a one-star grade, is very different from the Xuan-level sect, not to mention compared to the yellow-tier sect. It's a matter of a country's luck, did you know? ”

Yan Xu nodded, he had done his homework before he came, and he understood the attitude of the Great Xia Dynasty towards the sect.

The imperial kingdom of the Xiuzhen world and the mortal country seem to be similar in structure, but in fact, the difference is very big, in addition to the fact that the monks and mortals are different, the most important thing is to be born with luck.

The luck of the Great Xia Dynasty can be seen in the golden luck of the stars, and the golden luck is the top luck, I don't know how much purple luck it takes to gather into such a point.

When in the North Star Continent, which country does not pay attention to luck, even the evil demons outside the sky plot the North Star Continent to weaken the human race from luck first, and the Great Xia Dynasty, which is strong and unified in the Middle Continent, must pay more attention to luck.

And the process of sect certification is actually to tie the luck of the sect and the country together.

The state recognizes the status of the sect, so that the luck of the sect will not conflict with the fortune of the country, and at the same time, the luck of the sect will also enhance the fortune of the country.

On the other hand, if the fortune of the sect plummets, especially the decline of the fortune of the famous sect, it will definitely affect the fortune of the country.

Yan Xu answered a few questions about luck in a decent manner, and Jin Zonghuan nodded again and again.

"Since you know, I don't need to say more. So which way are you going to certify? Jin Zonghuan handed Yan Xu a booklet, which detailed the conditions for the two ways.

In the first way, the sect hall sends a team of envoys to consider the strength of the sect on the spot, including disciple cultivation, mountain gate foundation, mineral resources, etc., each of which has specific requirements.

The Tianhao Sect had already been assessed by the head system, and the strength of the first-star sect of the ground level was undoubted, but Yan Xu could not choose the first way.

Because, the main foundation of the Tianhao Sect is all in Wanxu Mountain, and there is only one newly established outer gate that can be inspected by outsiders, and the strength on the surface cannot reach the standard.

"I'll choose the second one and enter the Southern Heaven Demon Domain to hunt rare ninth-order demon beasts." Yan Xu said clearly.

"Are you sure you choose the second option? You can rest assured, the results of the sect's investigation will never be circulated, and our sect hall has always handled things impartially. Jin Zonghuan misunderstood what Yan Xu meant.

Yan Xu smiled and said, "I'm sure to choose the second option." ”

If it was just a general secret, he believed that the Zongmen Hall would enforce the law impartially, but when it came to the Immortal Emperor's mausoleum, Yan Xu didn't think that the Zongmen Hall would still be able to sit still, but he was afraid that the core figures of the dynasty would come soon.

In that case, the Tianhao Sect would basically be finished.

"If I usually do this kind of thing, where would I care. Hunting a rare-level ninth-order demon beast will pay some price, but it should also be something that the first-star sect of the ground level can afford. But now the situation is different, there are more than one or two demon kings sitting on the border of the Nantian Demon Domain, you are now entering the Nantian Demon Domain to hunt ninth-order demon beasts, and you are not looking for death? ”

Jin Zonghuan said earnestly, and his tone was very sincere but kindly reminded.

Yan Xu understood the other party's kindness, but this Nantian Demon Domain had to break through, even if it wasn't for the sect certification, he had to find an antidote for the Heaven Devouring Rat King.

"Thank you for the kindness of the Lord of the Golden Palace, but I have made up my mind, please fulfill it." Yan Xu said loudly. (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation and monthly passes, and your support is my biggest motivation. )
