Chapter Seventy-Seven: The Land of Trials
A few days passed in a hurry.
The north city of the county town, with high walls and courtyards, pavilions and pavilions, looks magnificent, and this is the mansion of the Aluo family of Zifu County, and it is also a symbol of their family's status.
In the classical hall, Aloron, the head of the Arlo family, stood in front of a landscape painting with his hands behind his back, his eyes were deep and his breath was calm.
"It's almost time, isn't it?" said Aloron, turning slowly and looking at his silent son.
Alotta nodded and said, "It's just right to go now." ”
Aloron said in a deep voice: "Ta'er, our Aluo family is the nobility of Zifu County, even in the Skynet Empire, it also has a bit of status, generation after generation of family children, each generation has extraordinary talents, and has successfully joined the three sects and two halls.
Over the years, the family has consumed a lot of cultivation resources on you, and you are outstanding enough, and now you have broken through to the fourth level of qi refining, I hope that this time you will not disappoint me, do not live up to the expectations of the entire family, and must pass the assessment of the three sects and two halls. ”
"Yes!" said Alota's face was resolute.
Aloron patted him on the shoulder and said, "Go, I will prepare a banquet with my people, and wait for you to triumph." ”
Zifu County, nearly 100 miles west of the county seat, there is a mountain peak hundreds of meters high, its name: Liangtian Peak.
At this time, the peak of Liangtian Peak was opened up into a huge flat area, and the five powerhouses of the three sects and two halls in the foundation building period were already quietly waiting again.
The. The quota of the three sects and two halls in Zifu County is only four, and the five people who came to preside over the assessment also have a quota each, but they generally do not use this quota, because once it is used, the lucky person will become their disciple.
"Elder Chu. ”
Fairy Cai'e of Wanxia Sect had a smile on her face and said, "At the banquet of the County King's Mansion, I really can't understand why you want to hand over the trial post to a young man who refines qi five? After all, in today's assessment, even if you have a quota, if he can't pass it, your quota still can't be used on him. ”
Chu Xiao said: "That kid once did me a small favor, I can be regarded as repaying the favor, I don't care if he can pass or not." ”
"I see!" The other four people showed sudden expressions, none of them were good people, so naturally they would not break the casserole and ask the end.
Zui Qingshan came to Zifu County at the earliest, and he had secretly investigated a lot of cultivation geniuses, so he said: "Zifu County is very powerful this year, the number of geniuses is much more than before, and the number of places is only four, I'm afraid there will be a dragon and tiger fight between them, you might as well tell me, which genius do you want to recruit the most in your heart?"
Chu Xiao said indifferently: "Lan Zhuo has long been a genius determined by my Fa Lan Sect, the reason why I gave him the trial post is to examine his strength, no matter whether he succeeds or fails, he will not occupy the quota for this assessment." ”
"Lan Zhuozhuo?" Several people showed stunned expressions when they heard this.
Drunken Qingshan frowned and said, "We have always known that the Lan family has a lot to do with your Fa Lan Sect, but we don't have to be so unabashed, right? ”
Chu Xiao said: "It's the head of the Lan family, find my Elder Han Hao of the Lan Sect, if you have any opinions, you can go to the head of the Lan family for trouble." ”
"This ......" Drunken Qingshan was speechless.
As one of the eight major families in the Dongmu Continent, the Lan family is very strong, even compared to their Fengshan Sect, it will not be much weaker, let him go to the trouble of the head of the Lan family, isn't it going to find death!
At this time, a graceful figure floated in from a distance, and Cheng Siya, who was veiled, came to the five of them in a short time, she bowed slightly to Cheng Mowu of the Thousand Sound Palace, and shouted, "Siya to see my aunt." ”
Cheng Mowu nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile: "Since I came to the county town, I haven't been going to see you, do you blame my aunt?"
Cheng Siya shook her head and said: "My aunt doesn't like the land of fireworks, how dare Siya blame my aunt, it's just that Siya doesn't know where my aunt lives, so I can't go to see her." ”
Cheng Mowu shook his head and said, "It's okay. ”
Cheng Siya said: "Auntie, when the time comes, I should go back too." ”
Cheng Mowu showed a hint of apology and sighed: "Over the years, I have suffered you, and when the assessment is over, you will go back to the Thousand Sound Hall with me! Your parents are very worried about you." ”
"Yes!" Cheng Siya nodded respectfully.
At the foot of the mountain, Ye Tong had already arrived early, what he didn't expect was that there were already dozens of people who came earlier than him, these people were all about twenty years old, there were men and women, and all of them had extraordinary temperaments.
"The son of the world is here. As someone in the crowd called, everyone looked behind them.
Ye Tong also turned his head and saw Mu Xiaochen and Lan Zhuo coming together, however, he quietly walked to the side and asked a mediocre-looking young man, "Why did everyone stop here? Isn't the place of assessment on the top of the mountain?"
The young man rolled his eyes and said angrily, "Where are you from?
"Do you know if I still ask?" was inexplicably despised, and Ye Tong suddenly didn't bother to talk to him.
The young man continued to explain: "Every time there is an assessment, all the geniuses who have obtained the trial post, as well as the geniuses who have broken through to the innate realm in cultivation, will gather here to wait, and they need to climb the Heavenly Peak within the specified time before they are eligible for the next assessment. ”
When Ye Tong heard this, he was surprised: "Mountaineering is the first level of assessment?"
"Of course!" The young man pursed his lips, and also felt that Ye Tong was lonely and unheard, too lazy to explain.
Ye Tong raised his head and looked towards the peak of Liangtian Peak, because the mountain peak is steep, even if the mountain road is winding, it will not exceed five miles to climb the peak from here, and with everyone's cultivation as the realm, you can climb it casually?
At this time, Mu Xiaochen and Lan Zhuoyu also saw Ye Tong, and the two of them came to Ye Tong to greet him, and for a while, the young man next to Ye Tong was dumbfounded, but he didn't expect that the young man in front of him had a lot to do with the prince of the county king's mansion.
After a moment of communication, Ye Tong saw Lan Tianyu and Mu Qianlan who had come over again.
"Haha...... I'm not late, am I?"
The rolling sound came, and Hao Cang, who was riding a unicorn beast, jumped up and landed lightly in front of everyone, and some young talents who were familiar with Hao Cang immediately greeted him.
Soon, more than a dozen people arrived, including Alota, who was very hostile to Ye Tong.
Fifty-eight people.
This is the number of people from the entire Zifu County who came to participate in the assessment, and it was the four places that were competing for them, and most of them knew that the possibility of grabbing the four places was very small, but they still did not give up.
Because they also know an unspoken rule, that is, the five powerhouses of the foundation building period of the three sects and two halls, each of whom also has a quota in their hands, they want to perform brilliantly, try to get the favor of the five powerhouses, maybe they can be lucky to join a certain sect, or which hall.
At the third pole of the sun, a loud voice from the top of the mountain came: "All those who participated in the assessment, give you two hours, from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain, if you fail, you can leave first, let's start." ”
In an instant, lightning-like figures rushed towards the mountain quickly.
Ye Tong didn't move, a suspicious look appeared in his eyes, and he carefully looked at the Liangtian Peak in front of him, as the saying goes, there must be a demon when things go wrong, he felt that something was wrong, because, under normal circumstances, it would not take so long to climb this mountain.
"Ye Tong, work hard. Mu Qianlan greeted and floated away.
Mu Xiaochen gave Ye Tong a cheering look, and also ran towards the peak.
Ye Tong saw that only Lan Tianyu was left unmoved, and suddenly asked curiously, "Why haven't you started yet?"
Lan Tianyu wore a veil and couldn't see her expression, but there was a little worry in her eyes, and she said softly: "This is the first level of the assessment, and it tests the willpower of the cultivator, if you can't hold on, don't be reckless, and quickly retreat." ”
"Okay!" Ye Tong nodded slowly.
As Lan Tianyu drifted away, Ye Tong no longer wasted time, he had a strong interest in this Heavenly Peak, so he wanted to try what was so magical.
Walking a hundred meters, Ye Tong's face became strange, and he clearly felt that every time he took a step forward, the pressure in the dark increased by a point.
Gravity space? No! It's just for mental forces.
The people of the three sects and the two halls are good means, and they can arrange the entire Liangtian Peak into such a unique space, no wonder Lan Tianyu would say that to himself before leaving.
Ye Tong knew that if the mental strength was weak and the willpower was not strong enough, if he insisted on moving forward under increasing pressure, his life would be in danger.
His gaze looked upward, and he found that the cultivation geniuses who had rushed one by one before had slowed down at this time, especially the people in the front, who could only maintain the speed of ordinary people trotting forward, and looking at the back, it was faintly a little difficult.
"Interesting. Ye Tong showed a bright smile, his steps were like walking on the ground, and he always maintained a fast walking speed.
The top of the mountain.
Five powerhouses in the foundation building period of the three sects and two halls stood on the peak cliff, looking down at the fifty-eight people who were struggling to climb the mountain below, while Cheng Siya's beautiful eyes always stayed on Ye Tong.
She had learned Ye Tong's willpower, and even the charm she used could break it, and this level of willpower assessment would probably be easy for him to pass.
On the contrary, it is those geniuses who have a good cultivation realm, many of them are from famous families, cultivation talent is one thing, the large number of resources provided by their family also have a blessing effect, and the young talents in the shelter may not have a strong willpower.
"Elder Chu. ”
The Jindong Hall Master of the Holy Source Hall said with a smile: "It is said that the stupid bird flies first, the young man you selected is so big, and he didn't take action until everyone else started to climb the mountain, do you think he can climb this mountain?"
"He can!" It was not Chu Xiao who answered him, but the drunken Qingshan of the Fengshan Sect.
