Chapter 169: Shenzhou Monument
The old man of Hongshan announced the official start of the Shenzhou Trial, and the atmosphere in the square immediately reached a *, and the cheers were unprecedented, and everyone could feel a strong eagerness permeating the square, which may be the charm of the Shenzhou Trial, attracting everyone present.
Ling Xi didn't know about the Divine Continent Trial as much as most people, so he didn't show much fanaticism, he looked up at the tall Divine Continent Monument, about this Divine Continent Monument, Sun Mochen also told him something.
According to Sun Mochen, this Shenzhou Monument existed long before the old man of Hongshan lived in Shenzhou, its history is impossible to study, even the old man of Hongshan does not know much, anyway, those who advance to the fifth stage of the trial can leave their names on the Shenzhou Tablet, speaking of which, the Shenzhou Tablet is also a symbol of Shenzhou.
Ling Xi touched Sun Mochen and asked in a low voice:
"Brother Mochen, have the four heroes ever participated in the Divine Continent Trial?"
Although Ling Xi didn't like to compare himself with others since he was a child, it was rumored that he could be compared with the Four Great Heroes, and he couldn't help but want to compare himself with the Four Great Heroes.
Sun Mochen glanced at Ling Xi first, he didn't know why Ling Xi suddenly asked about the Four Great Heroes, but Ling Xi was interested, of course he would tell Ling Xi about it, he nodded and said:
"Of course the four heroes have been here, two years ago, the four heroes went to Shenzhou for trial, and it caused quite a stir in Shenzhou at that time. β
After Sun Mochen finished speaking, he seemed to recall the battle between the four heroes two years ago, and his face still had a shocking look, which showed how wonderful the Shenzhou trial was that year.
Ling Xi then looked at the Shenzhou Monument, in front of the Shenzhou Monument, he saw three names, Jin Wuchai of the Wanjin Chamber of Commerce, Chu Tianyu of the Heavenly Sword Sect, and Zhao Yunxiao of the Pingchuan Beast Hunting Group, these three people were three of the four heroes of the Hongling Empire, Ling Xi was not very familiar with Chu Tianyu and Zhao Yunxiao, but he was very familiar with Jin Wuchai.
Ling Xi is familiar with Jin Wuchai not only because Jin Wuchai is Jin Wuchai's brother, Ye Qianxian told Ling Xi that it is this Jin Wuchai who vainly tries to seize her virgin body of the Nine Fox Charm after she becomes an adult, based on this alone, Ling Xi firmly remembered Jin Wuchai, and made up his mind that he must fight this Jin Wuchai in the future.
Ling Xizai searched carefully and found that there were only three heroic names on the Shenzhou stele, and the remaining hero, that is, the current prince, did not have his name on the Shenzhou stele.
Ling Xi couldn't help but be puzzled and asked:
"Why is there no prince's name on the Shenzhou Monument?"
"Yes, how could it not be, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's name is at the top. β
Sun Mochen said, and after speaking, he also pointed out to Ling Xi the location of the prince's name.
Ling Xi looked at the place pointed by Sun Mochen, and found the name of the prince on the top of the Shenzhou Monument, which suddenly read, Twin Shura, Qin Haotian.
"Qin Haotian. β
Ling Xi muttered, just hearing the prince's name, he unconsciously ignited a few traces of battle intent in his heart, his intuition told him that this prince was a very strong opponent.
However, the location of the prince's name made Ling Xi a little puzzled, the top part of the Shenzhou Monument was blank, and there were dense words under the blank, if you didn't know in advance, you would definitely not find that there was a name engraved in the blank, that's right, there is only one name on the top of the Shenzhou Monument, which is the name of the prince today, he alone overwhelmed everyone, and from the location of the prince's name, he knew that this prince was not simple.
Sun Mochen looked at Ling Xi's thoughtful appearance, and could probably guess what Ling Xi was thinking, he said:
"Brother Ling wants to know why His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's name is at the top of the Shenzhou Monument?"
Ling Xi nodded, of course he wanted to know what the position of the Shenzhou Monument represented, why only the name of the crown prince was there.
Sun Mochen also looked at the location of the name of the prince of the Shenzhou Tablet, and said slowly:
"This has to start with the War of the Gods. β
"War of the Gods?"
Ling Xi was puzzled, it was the first time he had heard of the Battle of the Gods.
Sun Mochen went on to explain:
"In fact, there is another challenge after the fifth stage of the trial, that is, the battle of the gods, the battle of the gods refers to the four trialists who advance to the fifth stage of the trial can choose one person to challenge the other three trialists at the same time, and if they win, they are eligible to leave the name of the god on the top of the Shenzhou stele, and once they lose, not only can they not leave their names on the Shenzhou stele, but they also do not have any rewards, this is the battle of the gods. β
Hearing this, Ling Xi looked at the prince's name again and said:
In other words, the crown prince won the battle of the gods and defeated the other three at the same time. β
Sun Mochen nodded and said:
"Yes, the battle of the gods of the year is not exciting, even the current majesty and the white marquis of Longcheng, as well as the number one of the other three major forces are present, these big men attach great importance to this trial, but no one thought that His Royal Highness the prince would choose to open the battle of the gods, and fight the three heroes who are as famous as him, although in the end he narrowly won with one move, but he created the history of the gods, from the establishment of the gods to the present, the prince is the only one who won the battle of the gods. β
"Awesome!"
Ling Xi sighed and admired from the bottom of his heart, although the prince and Jin Wuchai, Chu Tianyu, and Zhao Yunxiao were known as the four heroes of the Hongling Empire, but the prince could overwhelm the other three with the strength of one person, which showed the horror of the prince's strength, no wonder Ling Xi just saw the prince's name, and his heart ignited with a fighting spirit, it turned out that the prince was so strong.
"Awesome, I also think it's awesome, although the Hongling Empire has four heroes, but the prince's strength is obviously a notch stronger than the other three. β
Sun Mochen said.
Ling Xi nodded, very much agreed with Sun Mochen's words, among the four heroes, the prince is indeed a grade stronger than the other three, otherwise the prince will not win the battle of the gods, Ling Xi can imagine the excitement of the battle of the gods back then, the three strong against the stronger, everyone is a peerless celestial pride, and the battle between the four is not an exaggeration.
That year is bound to be the most glorious year of the Hongling royal family, the confrontation of the four heroes is equivalent to the contest between the four major forces, the number one person of the four major forces have come to Shenzhou, it can be seen that the four major forces attach importance to the trial of the gods, and the prince can win the battle of the gods, it means that the Hongling royal family has overwhelmed the other three major forces, and has increased the momentum of the Hongling royal family a lot, compared to the happiness of the royal family, the faces of the other three major forces may not be so good-looking, and the prince alone overturned the three people, the four heroes are debatable, this is a resounding slap in the face of the Hongling royal family to the other three major forces, and the Hongling royal family is to be stronger than your other three major forces on a higher levelγ
At this time, Sun Mochen touched Ling Xi and said with a smile:
"Brother Ling, do you think you can win the battle of the gods?"
Ling Xi shook his head and said with a smile:
"Brother Mochen can't help but think too highly of me, it's already very good that I can advance to the fourth stage of the trial, how dare I think about the battle of the gods. β
"Brother Ling is humble. β
Sun Mochen said, his intuition told him that it should not be difficult for Ling Xi to advance to the fourth stage of the trial, and it is difficult to say if he wants to advance to the fifth stage of the trial, although it is rumored that Ling Xi can be the fifth hero of the Hongling Empire, but Sun Mochen has not seen Ling Xi's real strength, so he can't say where Ling Xi will go, after all, none of the people in the four major forces are vegetarians, and several of them are even stronger and terrifying, even if they are not as good as the four heroes of the year, but they will not be much worse.
At this time, the old man of Hongshan, who was standing above the Shenzhou Monument, said:
"Young people, take the jade card!"
As soon as the old man of Hongshan finished speaking, the Shenzhou Tablet under his feet immediately shone with golden light, and then countless golden lights flew out from the Shenzhou Tablet, and then flew into everyone's hands, and these golden lights suddenly appeared to be pieces of jade plates, and each jade plate had a number on it, representing the number of jade plates.
Ling Xi naturally also got a jade plate, he looked at it, and the number of the jade plate was two thousand three hundred and ninety-seven.
At this time, Sun Mochen leaned over and asked:
"Brother Ling, how many are you?"
Ling Xi shook the jade card and said:
"Two thousand three hundred and ninety-seven, what about you, Brother Mochen?"
Sun Mochen picked up the jade plate and looked at it to Ling Xi, and said:
"I'm behind you, sixteen thousand and eight. β
"Brother Mochen, do you know how many people participated in the Divine Continent Trial this time?"
Ling Xi asked, Sun Mochen's number is sixteen thousand and eight, which means that at least 16,000 people participated in the Divine Continent Trial this time, and so many people traveled thousands of miles to the Divine Continent in order to participate in the Divine Continent Trial, which shows the charm of the Divine Continent Trial.
Sun Mochen put away the jade plate and replied:
"In previous years, there were about forty or fifty thousand people participating in the Divine Continent Trial, and this year it shouldn't be much worse, just fluctuating in the range of forty or fifty thousand people. β
"Forty or fifty thousand, that's not a lot. β
Ling Xi nodded, there are still quite a lot of forty or fifty thousand people participating in the Shenzhou trial, and after the first stage of the trial, there are only two thousand people left, such a terrifying elimination rate is really shocking, and these forty or fifty thousand people can't represent all the young heroes of the Hongling Empire, in some remote cities of the Hongling Empire, there are many people who have not heard of the Shenzhou trial, even if they know the existence of Shenzhou, they may not have the conditions to come to Shenzhou to participate in the trial, Ling Xi learned about it, most of the people who come to Shenzhou are from large families, and few small and medium-sized families can go to Shenzhou to participate in the trial, because their family does not have the economic strength, just crossing the Flame Demon Desert outside the Divine Continent is a big problem.
At the same time, this also exposes a problem in Shenzhou, that is, the beneficiary range of the Shenzhou Trial is very narrow, and medium-sized families cannot reach the Shenzhou Trial, let alone ordinary people, but this is also a helpless thing, the geographical location of Shenzhou is in the Yandemon Desert, which restricts the vast majority of people, plus the old man of Hongshan has not asked about the world for many years, and it is even more impossible for Shenzhou to pay attention to the problem of the narrow beneficiary range of the Shenzhou Trial.
"Young people, have you all got jade medals?"
The old man of Hongshan, who was standing on the Shenzhou Monument, asked.
"Got it!"
Forty or fifty thousand people in the square responded in unison, and the formation was quite majestic.
"Then, let's go to Shenzhou Mountain!"
The old man of Hongshan laughed, and a dazzling golden light flashed, and all the people in the square disappeared, and those people were naturally transmitted to Shenzhou Mountain by the Shenzhou Monument, officially starting this year's Shenzhou trial.
