Xinghuozi's eyes were gentle, his face was kind, he looked at the tens of thousands of monks in the Sun and Moon Hundred Grass Furnace from afar, and slowly spoke: "Disciples, the position you are in now is the internalized world of the supreme treasure of this sect, the Sun and Moon Hundred Grass Furnace, and each stone mountain that belongs to you is the venue for your first round of competition!"

"The old man reiterates again, the content of the first round of the competition is the perseverance and heart of each of you!"

"After the official start of the sect competition, there will be strange changes in the furnace realm, you don't have to panic, even if you are out, you will not have to worry about your life. ”

Xinghuozi paused for a moment, and then said slowly: "The specific content of this round of competition is that each of you is under this strange change... The longer you hold on, the higher your ranking will be, and finally, the top sixty-four disciples from each group will enter the second round!"

In the furnace realm, it was dark, and the mountains and rocks were all over the place, and many disciples who gradually calmed down their minds on it silently listened to the detailed rules of the competition, and there was a fluctuation of emotions.

The place of this first round of the competition is actually in the world transformed by the sun and the moon and the hundred grass furnaces, and the content of the competition is even more peculiar, and it is the time that everyone insists on.

These hundreds of sect elders, for this first time to hold the sect competition, painstakingly, the disciples in the sect from the Qi refining period to the Dan stage, a total of tens of thousands of people, if it is a one-on-one competition, like this, it will definitely take a long time.

After some discussion and pondering, with the help of the Treasure Sun and Moon Hundred Herb Furnace, they finally settled on such a peculiar way of competition, so that in a very short period of time, most of the disciples could be eliminated.

Survival of the fittest, big waves and sands, this first round of competition, the test is everyone's perseverance and heart, this is absolutely fair competition!

Li Nanshan was in a calm mood, and looked at the nearby rocks, one by one, strange fellow disciples, his eyes showed anticipation, and the same was true for the high-spirited monks in the foundation building period.

After the half-pillar incense effort, most of the people were ready, Xinghuozi's eyes were shining, he raised his hand towards the Sun and Moon Hundred Grass Furnace lightly, and said solemnly: "The old man announced, the sect competition has officially begun!"

As soon as Xinghuozi's voice fell, the lid of the Sun and Moon Hundred Grass Furnace in mid-air slowly closed, and then, the whole body of the furnace shook, and then, the furnace suddenly burned with raging flames!

In the void space of the furnace realm, there was no real flame, but in an instant, the temperature rose sharply, and the endless pitch black color was replaced by a succession of firelight in the blink of an eye, and this blazing fire suddenly reflected everyone's face.

Hot, indescribably hot!

Tens of thousands of Baicao Sect disciples, no matter what kind of cultivation they are, they all began to sweat uncontrollably for a while, they seemed to be medicinal herbs, and the Sun and Moon Hundred Herbs Furnace was smelting them with an invisible void fire!

"It's called a singular change...... Interesting!" Li Nanshan muttered to himself, sweat spilled, and without hesitation, he sat down cross-legged and closed his eyes to meditate.

There seemed to be a flame burning in his heart, and his whole body was full of unbearable heat, Li Nanshan seemed to be in a huge oven, and in just a moment, his clothes were completely soaked with sweat.

With the smelting real fire of the Sun and Moon Hundred Grass Furnace and turning into the invisible void fire in the furnace realm, all the participating disciples will compete with each other for the length of time in this blazing environment where the temperature is constantly rising, this is the first round of trial!

The baking of this invisible void fire suddenly made everyone understand what kind of comparison this first round of trials was.

For a while, everyone used their own means, only a very small number of people sat cross-legged and meditated like Li Nanshan, and the other part of them took out all kinds of magic weapons to protect their bodies, and the light of these magic weapons flickered, and all of them emitted a rich cold aura.

There are also some people who either directly swallow the elixir containing the icy aura, or place this kind of elixir on top of the heavenly spirit, forming a circle of protection overflowing with cold air.

After a while, the situation was already very clear, and no one was out of the game at the first time, Xinghuozi looked at the many disciples in the furnace realm with the help of foreign objects, using various means to resist the virtual fire baking, and his old eyes full of vicissitudes suddenly revealed a playful gaze.

In the furnace realm, on a certain piece of mountain stone in the foundation building area, Li Nanshan was drenched in sweat, concentrating his energy, and in the dantian, the silver and white sword pills continued to give birth to wisps of aura, running the whole body, and resisting the feeling of high temperature baking.

Li Nanshan originally thought that when he directly took out the jade pendant magic weapon that he had refined by his own hands and could appear from hundreds of sect elders together, he was already sure in his heart that this sect competition would be extraordinary.

Waiting for Xinghuozi to announce the rules of the first round of the competition, as soon as this invisible void fire came out, Li Nanshan felt even more strange in his heart, so after weighing it, he did not take out the magic weapon, but chose to resist it with his physical body and pure cultivation, and some disciples also noticed this and made the same choice.

......

Time passed, and the temperature in the furnace continued to rise slowly, and three hours passed in a flash.

Hard work pays off, at a certain moment, Li Nanshan trembled, he suddenly felt the impurities in his body, and actually began to discharge them little by little, this invisible void fire, there is even the power of washing the marrow!

Li Nanshan was secretly surprised, and said secretly in his heart: "In this first round of competition, there are really strange places!"

The sweat was still spilling in large areas, Li Nanshan was completely empty, and there was no distraction, and after a while, a layer of dirt appeared on his body.

Among the tens of thousands of people, a small number of people, who chose the same as Li Nanshan, also felt this hidden benefit, and in addition to the surprise in their hearts, the impurities in their bodies were also being discharged little by little.

Under the strong protection of the elixir and magic weapon, many disciples with calm expressions sensed that on the nearby rocks, the bodies of some disciples of the same sect who were not protected at all were slowly expelling dirt, and looking at this scene, their eyes widened, and their hearts instantly understood.

"Damn, this invisible void fire still has the power of washing the marrow!"

"It's a loss, it's a loss, why didn't I think of it, this round of competition...... I see!"

For a while, many people were anxious, and directly withdrew the protection around their bodies, thinking that they would also come to get a piece of the pie, but they never thought that the temperature in the furnace was gradually gradual, and they needed to bear it little by little, they just removed their respective protection, but they were shocked to find that their bodies could no longer withstand the blazing heat, and many people screamed directly.

Immediately after, a wisp of substantial flame suddenly burned on the flesh of this part of the people, but before they could react, a gentle aura wrapped them one by one in time.

The next moment, the sun and moon hundred grass furnace in mid-air, the lid of the furnace was opened, and the nearly a thousand disciples suddenly felt that the world was spinning, and when they came back to their senses, they found that they had returned to the platform.

The lid of the furnace was slowly closed again, and the first round of the competition continued, but this part of the people had already lost their qualifications for the competition.

Just when their eyes were dull and their minds were in a trance, Xinghuozi said lightly: "You have been eliminated!"

"First opportunistic, and then eager for quick success, complaining about others, this is a lesson, I hope you firmly remember, when you walk outside, you will not be so lucky!"

These nearly 1,000 disciples, hearing Xinghuozi's vigilant words, recalled the scene just now, and were full of regret in their hearts, bowed their heads and said yes, and humbly accepted the teaching.

Everyone in the furnace realm can also hear Xinghuozi's teachings, and many disciples who are not in a hurry are secretly lucky in their hearts.

At this time, in the area where the disciples of the Qi Refining Period were located, there was a disciple with a tiger head and a tiger brain who was unwilling, and after thinking about it carefully, he began to try to remove the protective power of the magic weapon little by little, so that he gradually adapted, and the temperature in the furnace realm was still rising, this person was Wang Liang!

In the end, when Wang Liang completely removed the protection, although the beads of sweat on his body were dripping down, but there was no real flame burning, he was pleasantly surprised, closed his eyes, and sat quietly.

When the other disciples saw him doing this, they did not lose their qualifications for the competition, and they followed suit for a while, and they learned in a good way.

However, in this slow process that required patience, some disciples were in a hurry and could not bear the continuously rising temperature, and suddenly a wisp of substantial flame burned on their bodies, and in an instant, they were wrapped in a gentle breath and rolled out of the furnace, losing their qualifications for the competition.

In the face of this peculiar virtual fire trial, different people's different choices, there is no good or bad, take out the magic weapon and elixir, and use foreign objects for protection, it is a correct approach.

However, when others get unexpected joy because of different choices, you begin to be unbalanced in your heart, eager for quick success, and also want to get a piece of the pie, and inadvertently rush it, and finally end up losing the qualification for the competition, which is purely to blame yourself and blame others.

The nearly 10,000 disciples who are still in the furnace realm have a little understanding in their hearts about the four words revealed by Xinghuozi in advance.

Gritting your teeth and persevering under the baking of the false fire, this is perseverance, and in the face of great temptation, maintaining the original peaceful state of mind is the nature of the heart!
