"I already knew this was the case!" Zhou Xiang glanced at her.

"Actually, the purpose of our visit today is to bring you to familiarize yourself with the venue, and by the way, visit our Tianxuan Sect!" Lan Ling explained.

"It's pretty much the same, we also want to see the momentum of a first-class sect. Zhou Xiang nodded.

"Then what are you waiting for, let's go!" Lan Ling made a gesture of invitation.

"Senior aunt, don't forget that there is me!" Li Letian heard that he was going to visit the Tianxuan Sect, and hurriedly reminded him.

"I can't forget, let's go!" Lan Ling beckoned to Li Letian, and the four of them walked out of the attic, and the sword flew up.

With the leadership of Lan Ling and Wang Liang, the two core disciples of the Tianxuan Sect, Zhou Xiang and them finally appreciated the grand atmosphere of the first-class sect. Dozens of peaks within a radius of 100 miles here are all the Tianxuan faction mountain gates, the attics on each peak are lined up, the aura is rippling, the alchemy peak, the forging house people come and go, the history of the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion is full of vicissitudes, and more are the disciples of the Tianxuan faction who come and go along the way, they are both men and women have a dusty temperament, unparalleled appearance, like a fairy in the world.

After visiting the sect, Lan Ling and Wang Liang took Zhou Xiang and the two to a certain valley, where the terrain was flat, and there were five high platforms made of white stone in the center, on which many prohibitions were depicted, and there were many array flags fixed in them, which protected them very firmly. There are also a large number of seats arranged in an arc around the stone platform.

"These stone platforms are arranged according to the five elements, which are usually used for the disciples in the sect to learn and fight, and during the competition, they are used for competitions. At that time, each monk will be assigned to the corresponding competition table according to the number of water, wood, gold, fire and earth on their jade plate, and the monks of each ring will conduct a random draw to determine their respective opponents, the winner will enter the next round, and the loser will withdraw until the top two of their respective divisions are selected, a total of ten monks. ”

"This is not the end of the story, because these ten people will have to accept the challenge of those eliminated monks who are not in their own area, that is, if two monks in the water area win the final first and second place, then they will have to accept the challenge of the eliminated people in the wood, metal, fire, and earth areas. For a period of three days, each person can fight up to three battles per day, and if the challenge is successful, they can be replaced, and the loser will be reduced to an eliminated monk. Wang Liang explained for Zhou Xiang.

"This arrangement can ensure relative fairness, or at least prevent the monks in a certain area from being too strong or too weak. Zhou Xiang nodded and continued to ask, "After the three-day challenge is over, will the final ten monks be confirmed?"

"That's right!" Wang Liang replied, "But many people will be concerned about which of the selected monks is stronger or weaker, so according to the usual practice, there will be a ranking battle in the future to determine the specific ranking of these ten monks." However, in order to avoid casualties, ranked battles will be conducted in other forms, such as breaking through levels, breaking formations, and so on. ”

"Then where will the twenty monks recommended by the elders like me be arranged?" Zhou Xiang asked again.

"Naturally, every four people are assigned to a certain area, and as long as you make sure that you don't encounter the same recommended monks in the first few rounds. But the subsequent competitions depend on chance, after all, the elder's recommendation is just a reference, and in the end, it depends on the real ability. Wang Liang said.

"Third brother, are you worried about being eliminated in the competition? I think it will definitely not, since you can defeat Gongsun Wen and Zhao Baolai alone, then your name will definitely be in the final top ten list. Lan Ling encouraged beside him.

"I'm not worried about this, even if I am defeated, it is not strong, and I can't complain about others. At that time, the third brother will only regret that he can't protect you personally!" Zhou Xiang shook his head.

"I also think that Brother Zhou will definitely be able to enter the top ten, in fact, it is smaller than fighting, and the real test is in the trial of conscience and cultivation. Because the last few trips to the forbidden land have already fallen a lot of disciples of this sect, otherwise, with the strength of my sect, there is no need to hire monks to protect them at all. Wang Liang continued.

"I've always wondered, why is there a restriction in this forbidden place of trials, and the Yuan Infant and the Transformation God can't enter?" Zhou Xiang said when he heard this, "Otherwise, it will be foolproof for the Tianxuan Sect to arrange one or two high-level monks to enter the trial area to protect their disciples! Could it really be that as the outside world said, monks above the Yuan Infant will lose their lives when they enter the trial area?"

"This matter is a long story, legend has it that the founding patriarch of this sect is an immortal, in order for the disciples of this sect to successfully form a primordial infant, he specially used his own immortal weapons to create this trial space, which raised many strange beasts, planted a lot of spiritual grass and spirit trees, and set up a lot of forbidden formations, the original intention is to investigate the hearts of different disciples, so that the monks of this sect can experience many life scenarios, and can maintain a heart to the Tao in the case of easy to lose themselves. ”

"All the disciples who have experienced the trial can plant the Dao cause in their hearts due to the exercises, and when they finally advance, they can withstand the test of the inner demon and successfully achieve the Yuanying Dao, so this trip to the forbidden land is called the Conscience Seed Dao Trial. And even if the foreign monks entered the forbidden land, they could only see a small part of the scene, but they could not immerse themselves in those special mazes and prohibitions. However, this has also become an advantage for them, that is, when the disciples of this sect have abnormalities and even lose themselves, foreign monks can wake them up in time, so that they will not sink for too long and go mad. ”

"Of course, there are other benefits to entering the trial ground for foreign monks, such as some scenes can get a lot of medicinal herbs and spiritual objects, and at the same time, observing the practice of our disciples is also inspiring to them, in addition, the rich rewards provided by the sect are also another important reason why the hiring conference can make many monks flock to it. ”

Speaking of this, Wang Liang paused: " As for why not arrange for the Yuan Infant or the Transformation God to enter, first of all, the disciples of this sect will be affected by the forbidden formation after entering the trial ground, and once they encounter the illusion, they will be addicted to it, in case of an accident, no one can help anyone; 。 ”

After listening to Wang Liang's explanation, Zhou Xiang understood why there were so many restrictions in the "Conscience Cultivation Dao" trial.

However, the patriarch of the Tianxuan Sect turned out to be an immortal? This news is really shocking. Fortunately, he and Lin Lu had seen another fallen Upper Realm Immortal in the Huangquan Realm, and they had obtained the Feihong Sword because of this, so they were barely able to accept this.

The crowd chatted while touring, and did not separate until it was getting late.

In the following days, Lan Ling would come to Zhou Xiang every day, and the ones who appeared the most around her were those sisters besides Wang Liang. However, Zhou Xiang saw that their eyes were full of deep demands when they looked at him, which made him feel very embarrassed. It wasn't until later, under the pretext that he closed his door to the hiring competition under the pretext of concentrating on the employment competition, that Lan Ling's number of visits here was greatly reduced.

Zhou Xiang took advantage of his leisure to take stock in the quiet room on the third floor, and there were three main exercises that he could use to compete.

The first is the "too void palm", and the three styles of foundation building have been practiced. They are the three thousand avenues, the mixed element tangible and the three encircled ones, and the Jindan period also has three forms, namely demon subjugation, demon subjugation and formless, but they have not yet been fully mastered.

The second is the "Mixed Yuan Sword Technique", which is also familiar with the three styles of foundation building. They are one breath and three clears, sweeping thousands of armies and desert lonely smoke. During the Jindan period, you can practice the other three forms: the Five Elements Ruyi, the Seven Stars Alignment, and the Nine Palaces Deep Lock.

Finally, there is the "Feihong Sword Technique", after all these years of cultivation, Zhou Xiang has completely mastered it, but it is not profound. Because "Feihong Swordsmanship" is an auxiliary exercise, different stages have different stages of comprehension, and some practices in the foundation building period will definitely be different in the Jindan period, and it may be simplified or simplified, all for the purpose of being faster. According to Zhou Xiang's current speed, under full strength, the swordsmanship and body technique can be comparable to the half-step Yuan Infant, but the duration will not be too long, after all, no matter what kind of exercises, they are based on cultivation.

Now there is less than a month left before the competition, and it is definitely unrealistic to improve quickly in cultivation, so Zhou Xiang can only improve his palm and sword skills.

He first carefully studied the Jindan period mantra of the Taixu Palm, and found that the palm technique began to change from the dexterity and complexity of the foundation building period to grandeur and power, and became more and more inclined to reduce ten times with one force.

For example, the palm of "Demon Suppression" is to use the spiritual power of the Jindan monk dozens of times that of the foundation, combined with the previous palm skills, one palm gives birth to nine styles, divides and combines attacks, and when the practice is perfect, one palm strikes out, and the entire space seems to be blocked, giving the opponent a feeling that there is no way to escape.

"Fu Demon" will be the mana dignified into a palm and a style, pay attention to the palm at will, like a shadow, no matter where the opponent flashes, the devil's hand will follow until a palm, the opponent can only be forced to attack.

The third palm is "invisible", and the practice is that the palm is born at will, which can be generated at any position in space, making the opponent unguardable.

After Zhou Xiang was promoted to the middle stage of Jindan, he could already easily use the palm of "Demon Suppression", and also used it to break Gongsun Wen's Canglong style, and then he only needed to continue to be familiar with it, and the rest of his energy could be put on cultivating "Demon Suppression".
