"God, it's snowing again. ”

A large mountain close to the Imperial City of the Celestial Empire, a young man sat on the edge of the cliff halfway up the mountain with his feet dangling.

The snow that fell fell on the boy's head and shoulders.

"Grandpa, what you said, Mo'er has always kept in mind. It's been three years, and I am now Lin Mo, and I am also the little prince of the Celestial Empire, Xia Yuan. ”

Xia Yuan's hands were propped up on the edge of the cliff, looking up at the falling snow in the sky, his eyes were a little complicated.

Two young men who were pinched by their throats at the same time were forcibly fused into one, one is the soul and the other is the body.

It's Lin Mo, and it's Xia Yuan.

Yu Jiu Yu broke the catastrophe in their fate and continued their youth.

"Transfiguration and soul change is to tamper with the mandate of heaven, although this method has the ability to defy the sky, but it only has a hundred years to live, as long as within a hundred years, breaking through the human level can prolong the lifespan. ”

Xia Yuan waved his dangling feet, and a smile was drawn on his lips.

Before Yu Jiuyou left, he left a letter that revealed some of the reasons for this.

Regarding the sudden change of identity, in the past three years, Lin Mo has adapted to Xia Yuan's identity.

After fusing Xia Yuan's last remaining memories, Lin Mo knew that Xia Yuan was just like him, that poor person.

Xia Yuan is waiting for his mother.

Lin Mo was waiting for his grandfather.

The Celestial Empire is in the Nether, and it is a bronze-level force, dominating one side.

Those black iron-level sects that are attached to the Celestial Empire will come to the Celestial Empire every year to pay tribute, and the emperors of the Celestial Empire will bring Xia Yuan by their side and suffer all the scenery.

This is also a long time before Xia Yuan's life.

It's just that Xia Yuan, who frequently appears next to Xia Wuhou, makes the eyes of the great prince of the Heavenly Dynasty look at him more and more unkindly.

"Little Prince, the test ceremony is about to start, so let's go to Yuanwu Hall as soon as possible and wait. ”

An old woman who was quietly waiting behind Xia Yuan saw that the hour was not early, so she spoke.

"Yes, I'm ten years old, let's go, Granny Mo, it's too late, I'm afraid it will make my father unhappy. ”

Xia Yuan got up, raised his hand to pat off the snow on his clothes, and went down to Dayue with the old woman.

In the lower realm, as long as a teenager is at least ten years old, it will test whether his physique is suitable for cultivation.

The test ceremony of the Celestial Empire is held once every five years, both internally and externally, and it is a grand event that celebrates the whole world.

In addition to the territory under the jurisdiction of the Celestial Empire, those who are attached to the other two great dynasties and sects will also come to take a look.

"Little Prince, the Great Prince has already tested his cultivation physique in the past two years, although the news has been blocked, it can make my Emperor Longyan happy, presumably not a mortal body. ”

Granny Mo is Xia Yuan's protector, and she is all prosperous.

If Xia Yuan shines in the test ceremony, the Celestial Empire will pour all the cultivation resources into Xia Yuan, and Granny Mo will also benefit a lot from it.

"It's not good to be too brilliant, there are too many people who secretly covet it. The wood is beautiful in the forest, and the wind will destroy it. ”

Xia Yuan smiled and shook his head.

The test ceremony of the Celestial Empire is public, and before Yu Jiuyou left, he named it in the letter, and the physique of this fused body will definitely not be bad.

Xia Yuan didn't want to test his physique in front of everyone, but Xia Wuhou's order, he couldn't disobey it.

And the eldest prince's increasingly unkind eyes, Xia Yuan also had to be on guard too early.

"In the long river of history, there is no shortage of amazing geniuses, but there are very few people who can survive to the end. It's not that God is jealous of talents, it's just that people are jealous. ”

The path in the mountains was a little rough, and Granny Mo followed closely behind Xia Yuan.

Xia Yuan, who has reached the age of ten, is still just an ordinary person, and this downhill road is a bit steep, so he needs to be guarded carefully.

Yuanwutang.

Sitting in the northernmost part of the Imperial City of the Celestial Empire, it is a square that can accommodate tens of thousands of people at the same time.

On the high platforms on both sides of the square, there is a golden chair, which is very eye-catching.

"That's a lot of people. ”

After Xia Yuan, who was dressed in a black gilded shirt, came to the periphery of Yuanwu Hall, he was blocked by a human wall in front of him.

Xia Yuan was trying to break away from the crowd with both hands, even if he blushed, it was just in vain.

Rows of armor soldiers were like mountains, and their faces were solemn, maintaining order in the Yuanwu Hall.

The civil and military officials of the Celestial Empire were waiting in the center of the square, and behind them, thousands of teenagers were already waiting here, looking forward to it.

Xia Yuan came a little late.

"My emperor has arrived. ”

A high-pitched and sharp voice overshadowed the noise of the crowd and quieted the bustling crowd instantly.

The crowd stood and watched, all with respectful expressions on their faces.

"Greetings to my emperor, long live my emperor, long live long live!"

Regardless of whether it was a person from the Celestial Empire or not, they were all kneeling on the ground at this moment, and the tens of thousands of shouts, like the superposition of waves, hovered in the sky above the Yuanwu Hall, deafening.

"Get up. ”

Xia Wuhou was dressed in a golden Nine Dragons robe, and walked onto the high platform with the support of the crowd.

Xia Wuhou's square face was heroic and extraordinary, and he looked at the teenagers gathered in the square, but he didn't see Xia Yuan's figure.

Xia Wuhou frowned and sat on the golden chair.

"Xie Wu Di Longen. ”

Tens of thousands of people got up, and the teenagers who came to test their physique were looking high.

Many of them are from civilian backgrounds, and they have been given high hopes, and whether they can be brilliant depends on whether they can excel in the test ceremony.

They are hope and spark.

"Little prince, you better hurry in. ”

Xia Wuhou's frowning made Granny Mo's heart tighten, she was Xia Yuan's protector, and she followed Xia Yuan's carelessness, if Xia Wuhou blamed her, she couldn't bear it.

Granny Mo stepped forward, the dark energy in her hand was gushing, and after a while, a passage was opened in the crowd.

Seeing this, Xia Yuan hurriedly raised his legs through the crowd and stood with the teenagers who were waiting for the test.

"It's late, but it's time to catch up. ”

Granny Mo's mouth breathed a sigh of relief, and her figure immediately blended into the bustling crowd and could not be found.

"My emperor, the little prince has arrived. ”

On the high platform, Li Zhongyun whispered in Xia Wuhou's ear.

"Hmm. ”

Xia Wuhou stretched his brows, then looked at the teenagers in the square with a smile on his face and nodded.

Those naïve faces, those vigorous vitality, they are the future of the Celestial Empire.

The eldest prince stood beside Xia Wuhou, condescending, calm and calm.

It's just that when he saw Xia Yuan, who was late, he was a little unhappy between his eyebrows.

"My emperor, the ministers are a little late. ”

A rough voice came, and a middle-aged man with his head held high, dressed in a golden python robe, led a little girl about ten years old in his right hand and walked onto the high platform.

"Chen, Li Zhongyun, I have seen the King of Beiwu. ”

Li Zhongyun bowed down and retreated, holding a wooden chair and placing it beside Xia Wuhou.

"Xia Chun, I've seen the King of Beiwu. ”

The eldest prince bowed and saluted.

"Good boy, you don't show the appearance of mountains and waters, no wonder the eldest brother loves you so much. ”

King Beiwu waved his hand and sat on the wooden chair laughing.

King Beiwu looked down, and his eyes fell on Xia Yuan, who was a little careless in the crowd.

"It's okay, it's good to come, I haven't seen you for a few years, Xiao Lan is getting more and more well-behaved, King Wu, after the ceremony, Xiao Lan will stay in the imperial palace and practice with Yuan'er. ”

Xia Wuhou sat on the golden chair and said.

"Yes, it's all up to my emperor. ”

The smile in the corner of King Beiwu's eyes was a little strong, he took the little girl's hand, pointed at Xia Yuan in the crowd and said. "Xiao Lan, that's your future husband, Xia Yuan. ”

"Father. ”

Xia Yuan, who was looking left and right in the crowd, had a face like a knife, and he was handsome with a weak scholarly atmosphere.

Xiao Lan's face was a little blushing, and she took the hand of the King of Beiwu and said coquettishly.

"Li Zhongyun, let's start. ”

More and more people gathered in Yuanwutang, and during this period, many teenagers of the right age were added.

Seeing that the auspicious time had arrived, Xia Wuhou commanded Li Zhongyun behind him.

"Yes, my emperor. ”

Li Zhongyun received the order and got off the high platform.

After the civil and military officials in the center of the square saluted to the high platform, they walked to the high platform and stood in two rows under the high platform.

"The auspicious time has arrived, and the test ceremony is now on, and the music will be played. ”

High-pitched strings were playing, and the crowd was instantly in an uproar.

This is a grand event, and how many of the commoners will enjoy the sorrow of a lifetime because of the excellence of their children.

At the beginning of the test ceremony, the teenagers who were waiting for the test were rubbing their hands one by one, and their immature little faces were a little rosy with excitement.

"I am the host of this test ceremony, my name is Li Zhongyun. The boy whose name I have named next should come forward and put your hand on the Purgatory Stone in the field and meditate for a while. ”

The strings stopped, and Li Zhongyun stood beside a black purgatory stone with a book in his hand, and said loudly.

The Purgatory Stone is not large, about the size of an adult's palm.

The Purgatory Stone was suspended in the air, pitch black as ink.

The crowd gathered outside the Yuanwu Hall held their breath and stared, they had been waiting for this moment for a long time.

"Lian Yunzong, Li Shang. ”

As Li Zhongyun's words fell, a Li Shang wearing a black coat printed with white clouds and a white cloud ran forward quickly.

Li Shang's hand was a little trembling and placed on the Purgatory Stone, while Li Shang closed his eyes. In just a few breaths, Li Shangzhi put down his palm in some pain, and four big golden characters appeared on the top of his head.

"Lianyun Sect Li Shang, Sanpin Water Spirit Root. ”

"Next, Lian Yunzong, Li Jue. ”

Li Zhongyun held a pen in his right hand and recorded it in the book.

After the test, Li Shang retreated to the side with a somewhat ugly expression.

Before the test, he was disillusioned.

"Lianyun Sect Li Jue, three-grade fire spirit root. ”

The two third-grade spiritual roots all appeared in the Lianyun Sect.

An old man in the crowd who was looking forward to it, he suddenly blackened his face and left with his sleeves brushed up.

"Next, Black Rock Sect Wang Miao. ”

"Next, Illusion Pavilion Shui Qingqing. ”

The number of people had already passed half, and a young man with a first-grade spiritual root appeared among them, which made Xia Wuhou, who was sitting on the high platform, look better and show a hint of a smile.

The crowd of people watching gave out earth-shattering cheers.

Although the first-grade spiritual root is not comparable to those special physiques, in the lower realm, it is also one of the best existences.

"Heavenly Dynasty Northern Wu Palace, Qin Qianqian. ”

Sitting on the high platform with a tired feeling, as soon as he heard the name that was called, he also cheered up.

Xiao Lan clenched her delicate hands tightly, her eyes widened, and she secretly cheered for Qin Qianqian.

On the square, a slender jade hand lightly rested on the Purgatory Stone, and when Qin Qianqian's little hand left the Purgatory Stone, a gray brilliance suddenly erupted from the top of her head, and in an instant, it condensed into a gray cloud, suspended in the sky above the Yuanwu Hall, and lasted for a long time.

"Flawless and unsullied. ”

Li Zhongyun's words stuttered a little, and his right hand holding the pen was also trembling.

The crowd of onlookers was even more stunned, and they forgot to cheer in shock.

Immaculate and immaculate, they had only heard rumors of it, but had never seen it.

"Okay, God bless my Celestial Empire. ”

Xia Wuhou stood up from the golden chair, his expression a little excited.

How many years have passed, and the Celestial Empire has finally produced a person who has surpassed the first-grade spiritual root.

King Beiwu's eyes also flashed with Dao essence.
