Chapter 1: Trials
After I open the palace gate, you have thirty breaths to step into the palace, and after thirty breaths, those who have not stepped into this trial will fail!"
Outside a dilapidated ancient building, an old man in brown animal skin stood in front of more than a hundred teenagers, his hands were raised high, and each of his hands tightly pinched the neck of a white-bone giant beast, the old man's eyes flashed coldly, and under the force, the heads of the two giant beasts were crooked, and the cold light that originally shone in the eye sockets disappeared, and the breath of life was lost.
Among the young men behind the old man, most of the young men had a little frightened on their faces, with their age, they had not seen a truly powerful beast, this white bone giant beast was an extremely terrifying existence for them, even if it was firmly controlled by the old man, the trace of aura emitted by the white bone giant beast was enough to make them feel frightened, only a few people although their bodies trembled slightly, but they did not show a look of fear.
"When the juniors are behind, the old man will make efforts to open the gate of this palace and open the trial for you. The old man looked at the few young men, his eyes showed appreciation, and then he threw the two white bone beasts he was holding in his hands into the distance, and his hands began to form several complex marks.
"The water flows and the moon does not go!" the old man said something in his mouth, and whispered, while the complex mark in his hand turned into a ball of light, the plaque on the main gate outside the palace shook slightly, and a few runes on the dim plaque suddenly appeared, and the dilapidated scene in the palace suddenly dissipated, and an elegant and unique palace appeared in front of everyone, replacing the previous dilapidated palace.
One of the young men looked at the old man standing outside the palace, and glanced at the plaque hanging at the main entrance of the palace, the four runes on the plaque exuded an extremely vicissitudes of life, the young man did not know these four runes, but the words represented by these four runes appeared strangely in his mind.
"Water Moon - Cave Heaven!"
With these four words muttered in his mouth, the eyes of the young man and his companions around him were full of fanaticism, and he turned around slightly, and said to a sturdy young man beside him: "Mo Fei, you and I will definitely go to the Water Moon Cave Heaven and complete the trial of our clan!"
The sturdy young man named Mo Fei's eyes were red, his expression was a little excited, and he replied: "Water Moon Cave Heaven! My Water Moon Clan's Temple! Cheng Yun, you and I will definitely be able to pass and let the clan recognize!"
"The Water Moon Cave has appeared! You prepare quickly! The details of the trial, you have heard from the seniors of the clan before coming here, and the old man will not say more, but you must remember that after the trial is completed or failed, you must immediately crush the spirit card, otherwise even the old man will not be able to save you juniors. The old man's words interrupted the conversation between Cheng Yun and Mo Fei.
After the old man finished speaking, he waved his right hand, and hit the mark in his hand on the plaque, and the teenagers saw this scene, they all took out a small small card to hang around their necks, when the teenagers all wore the small cards, the old man's body moved, and instantly appeared directly above the palace, and he also took out a small silver card and threw it into the air.
The old man said something in his mouth, and a huge red pillar of light slowly condensed in mid-air, the pillar of light shrouded the palace, the old man's expression was solemn, and a powerful aura appeared from his body, and he didn't know what means the old man used, the light of the red pillar of light became more and more dazzling, and after a while, the old man lowered his eyes from the air and looked at the plaque of the palace.
"Water Moon Cave Heaven!
With this low shout, the plaque on the palace flew out and rotated around the palace, and the four runes on it had become substantial and merged into the red pillar of light, and after a while, a gap slowly opened at the main entrance of the palace, and those teenagers were ready to step forward, ready to step into the palace.
More than 100 teenagers, successively divided into several batches rushed to the palace one after another, when the first batch of teenagers stepped into the main gate, their bodies were suddenly stunned, several of them disappeared, and the rest of the teenagers, a strange light flashed on their bodies, was knocked away by a strange force, and fell unconscious to the ground.
Immediately after that, dozens of teenagers stepped into the gate, and like the previous teenagers, some of the teenagers disappeared, and the other part of the teenagers were repelled by the strange power of the palace.
Cheng Yun and Mo Fei were the last teenagers to enter it, Cheng Yun looked at the companions who were knocked out in front of him, a touch of frenzy suddenly appeared in his eyes, and when he came to the palace gate, he raised his feet and stepped into it, and then fell into a trance, when he regained consciousness again, he was already in the palace.
Cheng Yun looked around, there were only a dozen people who stepped into the palace like him, and Mo Fei, who was usually good friends with him, also entered it.
Outside the palace, the old man who led the young man raised his hand and made a seal that merged into the red pillar of light, and the pillar of light slowly shrank until it disappeared, and the young man who was unconscious on the ground at this time also woke up one after another, stood up one after another, and looked at the old man in mid-air.
"You can't enter, not because of lack of talent, but because you have no chance to enter this place, and you have two more chances to try to enter in the next two years, and you wait here until all the people who enter leave, and the old man will take you and others back to the tribe together. The old man still stood in mid-air and said to the young man below.
The awakened teenagers all bowed to the old man in unison, stopped talking, and sat down cross-legged on the spot.
In the palace, Cheng Yun looked around the palace, there were no tables and chairs and other decorations in the palace, only dozens of ancient statues stood in the palace, those statues exuded a sense of vicissitudes, and I don't know how many years they have existed, especially the eyes of the statues, a glance is enough to make people tremble.
"Mo Fei, this is the second time you have entered this place, and you must be more familiar with this place than others, I wonder what you expect this time?" Cheng Yun asked Mo Fei beside him.
And when the surrounding teenagers heard Cheng Yun's words, they couldn't help but look at what Cheng Yun said, before they entered this place, they had heard the elders of the clan mention this place countless times, although they had never entered, but all kinds of rumors also gave them some understanding of this place.
Water Moon Cave Heaven is the holy place of the Water Moon Clan, except for the patriarch and the high priest, only a few people can enter and exit freely, in addition, ordinary people only have three opportunities to enter this place in their lives, and these three opportunities are to complete the trial of the Water Moon Clan.
The clansmen of the Water Moon Clan, after the age of sixteen, are adult clansmen, and they can obtain certain rights in the clan, and they also have to bear part of the responsibilities, and at the same time, they can also get the opportunity to go to the Water Moon Cave.
Although each clan member has three opportunities to enter the Water Moon Cave Heavenly Trial, more than ninety percent of the clansmen have only stepped into it once in their lives, and those who complete a trial are already the best in the clan, but if the first trial fails, the second successful one, its status is much higher than that of the first successful one, and there are even rumors that if the first two times fail, and the third successful person, no matter what the person's talent is, will be selected by the patriarch or high priest to become a clan or deputy priest, which also means that this person will become the sun of the clan in the future!
Despite such rumors, there are still very few clansmen who can complete the first trial, often only one or two out of ten, only one person is likely to be one out of hundreds of people who succeed in the second trial, and those who succeed in the third trial, in the chronicles of the Shuiyue clan, there are only a dozen people in the eternal years.
The reason why the teenagers around Cheng Yun attach so much importance to Mo Fei is also because they heard Cheng Yun talk about Mo Fei's failure in the first trial, and now that Mo Fei has passed the first level in the second trial and entered the palace, then he is very likely to complete the trial in the second time, once the trial is completed, Mo Fei is an extremely dazzling existence among the younger generation of the clan.
When the first trial fails, the trialists' hearts will be clouded, and in their hearts there will be the idea that they will not be able to complete the trial no matter what, so most of the clansmen will no longer have the courage to face the trial after the first failure, Mo Fei can enter the Water Moon Cave Heaven again after the first failure, whether Mo Fei succeeds this time or not, his future achievements will be much stronger than ordinary clansmen.
"Cheng Yun, I must complete the trial this time and gain that strength! It's that this time I failed, it's a big deal, I'll come back next year, I don't believe that I Mo Fei will be a mediocre person!" Mo Fei clenched his fists and said to Cheng Yun.
Cheng Yun smiled faintly and replied, "At least you have found your own way, and I don't know if you can complete this first trial." ”
When Mo Fei heard Cheng Yun's words, he smiled innocently, his clenched fist also loosened, and he said with a smile: "The patriarch's expectations for you are very high, and the high priest also said that you will be able to complete the trial, even if you fail this time, you will have two more chances, and the more you go to the back, the greater the benefits you will get, maybe, you will become a clansman of the three trials." ”
Cheng Yun didn't take Mo Fei's joke seriously, he said: "That is, you really expect me to pass the trial, no matter what, I will complete the trial and become the strongest in the clan!"
"Boom!"
There was a dull loud noise in the palace, Cheng Yun saw that Mo Fei's face became solemn, and knowing that the trial was about to begin, he also put away his mind and silently looked at the place where the loud noise was made.
A crack opened in the center of the palace, and from it slowly appeared an ink-colored beast, although its size was not large, no one present despised it, they had long known from the mouth of the elders of the clan that this little beast was the spirit beast that presided over the trial.
"Let go of the mind and transfer all your spiritual power into the spirit card, the deity will judge whether you are qualified or not, and those who do not complete it after ten breaths will fail!"
