In the southwestern part of the Later Zhou Dynasty, there was a huge crack that stretched endlessly, almost enough to hold the entire Burial Demon Mountain, winding and twisting, like a huge scar deep into the flesh, embedded in the earth. Cultivators call it "Earth Cracking Abyss", and secular mortals call it "Trench".

There are also different theories about the origin of the Earth Crack Abyss, but the most widespread and credible one is related to the Demon Tribulation 30,000 years ago.

The demon soldiers fought fiercely here, the demonic spirit was soaring, the demon power was mighty, and the blood of hundreds of millions of living beings stained the earth. Just when the battle between the two sides was heating up, several cultivators of the demon clan joined forces to invite the treasure of the demon clan, and under the joint urging, with just one blow, a demon ancestor and tens of millions of demon soldiers were killed here, and this abyss that stretched for five million miles came from this.

After 30,000 years of brewing and fermentation, the abyss is full of poisonous miasma and evil energy, but because the earth cracks the abyss and buries countless demon flesh and blood, over time, it has given birth to many spiritual things, which has attracted countless cultivators and demon beasts to come here to find it. Together with the two major immortal sects of the Later Zhou Dynasty, the Burning Sky Valley and the Imperial Spirit Sect, the trials of the disciples in the sect were also selected here.

In front of a hill on the edge of the abyss, the surrounding vegetation is dense, it seems that because of a heavy rain just now, the branches and leaves of the forest are verdant, and even the air is much fresher.

Nearly 20,000 disciples of the Burning Sky Valley and the Imperial Spirit Sect gathered here, and they were talking to each other, and they were noisy and abnormal.

"This trial is three months earlier than in previous years, does Brother Chen know what's going on?"

"I don't know the specifics, but it should be related to today's conquest, maybe the door wants us outer disciples to enter the inner door as soon as possible to improve our strength. ”

"I don't think so, this time we are testing together in the Burning Sky Valley and the Imperial Spirit Sect, and the gate stipulates that we must set foot in those unknown areas to engrave the map, there must be some deep meaning. By the way, Miss Huo'er, why did you disciples who have only been getting started for a few days come here?"

A young man with a feather crown folding a fan and a handsome white face shook his head and said, and then, as soon as the words changed, he looked at the fiery woman beside him, with a hint of admiration in his eyes, but when his eyes turned to the young man beside Yao Huo'er, his face suddenly sank again.

"Hehe, doesn't Brother Liu know the rules of this trial? As long as you are an outer disciple, no matter how long you have been in the beginning, you have to come to participate in the trial, although Huo'er and I have only been in the beginning for a few days, we are no exception. ”

As soon as the white-faced young man's voice fell, Fu Yinglong beside him had already said with a smile, and Yao Huo'er beside him was giggling, seemingly extremely interested in the bickering between the two.

Hearing this, the white-faced young man's face was completely gloomy, looking at the man and woman who were talking and laughing, and laughed angrily, "Hehe, Brother Fu is as sharp as ever, I hope it can be like this in the earth crack abyss!"

After speaking, he ignored the two of them and crossed his knees alone.

"There are quite a few fellow sects who have come here like us, but I don't know what Zhou Xianmen's plans are in the future. ”

Fu Yinglong took out the psychic ancient jade and looked at it, then looked at the few figures standing on the mountain in the distance, and said with some puzzlement.

In addition to these outer disciples, on the top of the peak, there were five or six elders of the two factions with different expressions, as well as a woman in her twenties with a cold expression with a phoenix skirt and a red mole on her eyebrows. Behind the woman, like a copper pillar, stood two middle-aged men with blood and qi, holding soldiers and bronze armor, and an old man with white eyebrows.

The elders of the two factions stood on the edge of the cliff, looking at the dark earth crack abyss under their feet, and the group of outer disciples at the foot of the mountain who looked excited, and couldn't help shaking their heads and sighing.

"The time has come, let them take these life pills and go in!"

Looking at the sky, the woman in the phoenix skirt spoke softly, as if she was saying a trivial matter, and her tone did not contain the slightest emotion.

The voice fell, and the white-eyed old man behind him stepped forward, and with a wave of his hand, hundreds of emerald jade bottles fell into the hands of these elders of the two factions. Hearing this, the elders of the two factions looked at each other a few times, and seemed to be a little hesitant.

"Huh...... The two seniors don't know the truth of the cold lips and teeth, right? After the first week, there are no eggs under the nest, and the country is about to be broken, so the only way to gamble and sacrifice some disciples is nothing!"

Feng Mu glanced at these elders, Zhou Jiufeng's tone was cold, and behind him, the white-eyed old man was expressionless, and his breath was pressed out without reservation, and the strength of the aura was almost reached the limit of the Jindan Ancestor.

"What the Ninth Princess said is reasonable, it is the kindness of women like us!"

Elder Hu sighed lightly, and after speaking, with a little finger, the jade bottle shattered in response, and hundreds of white mangs wrapped these pills and flew towards the disciples below.

Seeing this, the rest of the elders no longer hesitated, and the spiritual light drifted away, like rain, falling on the hands of every outer disciple with extreme precision.

Danmaru broad bean size, showing a faint blue-black color, looks extremely inconspicuous, and does not have the slightest peculiar smell.

After all the disciples had a pill in their hands, an old voice suddenly sounded, "These pills are refined by the old man himself, and after swallowing, they can be invulnerable, and they have great restraint power against the poisonous miasma in the abyss, in order to prevent someone from taking these pills away without permission, you had better take these pills in front of the old man." ”

As the words fell, a slight mental fluctuation suddenly appeared, condensing around these disciples' sides.

Seeing this, Fu Yinglong frowned, glanced at Yao Huo'er without a trace, hesitated slightly, and swallowed it directly into his mouth.

After all the disciples had taken the Hanging Life Pill, the white-eyed old man only nodded, returned to Zhou Jiufeng, and said no more.

With the order of the elders of the two factions, these disciples roared, like dumplings in the next pot, and all of them fell towards the abyss of the earth crack below, and after a while, they had disappeared without a trace.

"My royal family is not a cold-blooded and ruthless person, Hou Zhou is weak, in the final analysis, there is still no top combat power, as long as the ancestor can successfully break through to Yuanying this time, the soldiers of the Three Kingdoms will naturally retreat, and what is it to sacrifice some disciples, I Jiufeng is here to promise you, as long as you survive the danger of losing the country, Burning Sky Valley, the Imperial Spirit Sect and the country will rest together, as long as the Hou Zhou is still there, your two factions will not break off the inheritance!"

"Is this true for the Ninth Princess?"

Hearing this, Elder Hu of the Burning Sky Valley looked at him, the gloom on his face disappeared, and he confirmed in disbelief.

"Hmph, my Hou Zhou royal family has always been a man of his word, Elder Hu is a little out of his word!"

"Hehe, it's the old man who is open-mouthed, and I hope that the ninth princess will not be blamed. ”

"That's it, let's not talk about this, when will your people come? This plan must not be lost, and only those who can be trusted can do it!"

Zhou Jiufeng waved his hand, and his voice changed.

"Ninth Princess, rest assured, this time our Burning Sky Valley was personally selected by the senior brother in charge, it is absolutely reliable, the news has just arrived, and we will be able to gather here in two days. ”

"It's the same with our Imperial Spirit Sect!"

"In that case, you two are assisting the elders in guarding this place. Elder Fang, you and I will take the first step, and when the matter here is settled, all the elders will go to Tianyuan City together to meet!"

Zhou Jiufeng thought for a moment, turned his head, and commanded the two men in bronze armor behind him, and then signaled to the white-eyed old man, and finally his eyes fell on these elders of the two factions, and said with a touch of undoubtedness.

When everyone responded, Zhou Jiufeng glanced at the bottomless earth crack abyss below, and his body spread, like a real phoenix bird, turning into a red streamer and galloping away, followed closely by the white-eyed old man behind him.

Tianyuan City, the closest city to the Earth Crack Abyss, due to the advantage of geographical location, Tianyuan City once became the gathering place of the entire Later Zhou cultivators, the magnificent scenery is picturesque, prosperous like an immortal, it can almost be said to be the center of the Later Zhou Cultivation Immortal Realm. However, at the moment, countless Hou Zhou soldiers with soldiers in hand and armor are stationed around, and there are even some soldiers who control birds and beasts to patrol back and forth.

The same is true in the city, on the spacious and smooth bluestone avenue, the armor guards it, like a strategic fortress.

In the whole city, except for these armor, there is no one to see, but in the four directions of the south, east, west, and northwest, there are four huge light shields that are covered with thousands of feet, like a dome, visible to the naked eye, countless men, women, and children are locked in these light masks like livestock, unable to enter and exit, roaring and wailing constantly, looking at the world outside the light mask in despair, but due to the isolation of the light mask, the sound inside cannot be heard, and the whole city is silent except for the uniform footsteps of the soldiers.

And in the center of the city, on a high platform of more than 30 zhang, nearly a hundred figures stood one after another, the leader was wearing a yellow robe and a golden crown, handsome and extraordinary, but his face was cold and abnormal, and his eyes were staring straight at a certain direction of the void, as if he was waiting for something.
