The army was not as tense as imagined, and the wasteland outside the Beast Control Palace was in an extremely strange state of tranquility, everyone held their breath and looked ahead, a mountain that was even bigger than the Tianshan Mountain, like a huge demon beast lurking in the wasteland, exuding a terrifying aura all over its body.

This is the barren mountain range where the Beast Control Palace is located, it has a total of more than 100 peaks, including eleven main peaks, and each palace occupies a different number of spirit peaks, but the situation of the Beast Control Palace is very different now.

Because of the entry of the Nanwu family, the status of the Nine Palaces began to tilt significantly, and at the beginning of the creation of the Beast Palace, except for the Taishang Elder and the Sect Master Peak, the rest of the palaces were evenly distributed.

But now, except for the Sect Master Peak and the Supreme Elder's Spirit Peak, the other palaces and their stewards have changed, such as South Uluhe, who is now the head of the first palace, and there are more than 30 spiritual peaks under its jurisdiction, which is just one-third of the existing barren mountain range, and as the last existence of the Nine Palaces, Man Qianjun was only allocated two peaks at the beginning, one for the palace master peak, and one for the steward and spirit beast peak.

Of course, this is also the result of the Nanwu family's deliberate squeeze, but through this, it can be seen how the current atmosphere of the Beast Control Palace has been formed.

The reason why the Kawu family will help Nanwu Jikang to fight against the Qi family and even the Cha family and other families is to stabilize the position of the second eldest in the Beast Control Palace, but they are still too stupid to see the reality clearly, if the Nanwu family really trusts them, how can they give the position of the elder to the Yong family instead of the Kawu family.

Chahadi looked up at the majestic and mysterious barren mountains, with fog covering its body, and the surrounding area was unusually quiet, as if it was falling into a deep sleep, and Lou Yi was condescendingly watching it.

However, the things in the eyes of the two were very different, and what he felt was the terrifying energy generated by this barren mountain range, which meant that if he wanted to step into the barren mountain range, he must first remove this terrible coercion.

You must know that the ruler of the Barren Mountain Range is the Beast Control Palace, but in order to protect itself and have sufficient beast control resources, the same Beast Control Palace has reached a tacit understanding with the demon beasts since the first palace master.

Demon beasts can thrive here, and they also need to provide shelter for the Beast Control Palace, and even allow the monks of the Beast Control Palace to find suitable demon beasts or demon birds as their soul contract partners in this barren mountain range.

This is like a solemn ceremony, and it is also a long-standing tradition, even if the beast control palace has fallen, this tacit understanding has never changed, and most importantly, if you let the monsters living here believe that they will not threaten their lives.

The army stood outside, Lou Yi and Li Dou and the others landed and walked into the barren mountain range, the moment their feet stepped into it, the entire barren mountain range seemed to come to life, low roars came one after another, they used this way to warn these people that they were not welcome here, and let them retreat.

Lou Yi stopped and took a deep breath, the air here had a wild feeling, making his hairs stand on end, this excitement and tension made him feel excited, so he asked, "Senior brother, when you first entered here, was this also the scene?"

Li Dou showed a wry smile on his face, shook his head and said, "When the master took me into the Beast Control Palace, I entered directly through the identity waist card, and later after a ritual baptism, the demon beasts here no longer made such threatening sounds. ”

There was a moment of embarrassment on Lou Yi's face, because he was a nominal disciple of the Beast Control Palace, but he did not pass the ceremony of the Beast Control Palace, to put it bluntly, he was not recognized, so he was equivalent to a black household without an identity nameplate.

Thinking of this, he could only ask helplessly, "Is there any other way?"

Li Dou shook his head, indicating that he had no choice, and then Cha Hadi stepped forward and muttered, "When the Beast Control Palace was created in the palace, there was a rule for choosing apprentices, but I'm afraid many people have forgotten it now......

Chihoha stepped forward and asked, "What did Elder Cha say?"

A gleam flashed in Chahadi's eyes, and then he nodded and said, "Yes, it's the worship ceremony!"

"Can the two old-timers tell the younger generations what is the mountain worship ceremony?" Lou Yi asked.

Chihoha looked at Chahadi, meaning to let him say, in fact, he had only heard of this name, this rule in his time, no one used it anymore, after all, after the establishment of the Beast Palace, the forces were intricate, and the rules for selecting disciples were also changed again and again, and now the major families have settled in the Beast Palace, and very few people will go out to find disciples to bring back to the palace for training.

The reason why Man Qianjun went to Beizhou at the beginning was actually because he was squeezed in the Beast Control Palace, he didn't want to be constrained by the family, so he wanted to cultivate his own forces, plus he had his own plan to implement, and it was best that the disciple he selected himself was the most sure to complete the task.

In order to select the right talents, the Beast Palace will hold a mountain worship ceremony every 100 years.

This so-called mountain worship ceremony is actually to walk through the barren mountain range, visit the most powerful demon beasts or demon bird tribes on each mountain peak, fight with them under the same conditions, and after getting the approval of the other party, then continue to the next mountain.

This is also a way to test the strength level of the monks of the Beast Control Palace, the original purpose was to select the successor Nine Palace Palace Master or the Hall Master and the steward and even the elite troops of each Palace.

It's just that later, with the succession of the palace masters of the past dynasties, this rule was slowly stopped being implemented by the family forces of all parties, because this regulation requires that only through the mountain worship ceremony can be qualified to be such as elite, and the positions of palace stewards can be selected.

And in the later Beast Palace, most of the palaces were controlled by the family forces, and a large number of family children poured into the Beast Palace, which was naturally mixed, and many of them were not talented Beast Palace disciples, but there was a strong force behind them, and in the end, the Beast Palace could not conform to the times, so far the mountain worship ceremony also existed in name only.

It's just that there are still legends in the streets, and the legend is like this, if a monk from outside wants to worship the beast palace, in the absence of a referee, he can try to break through the mountain, as long as he can go smoothly to the mountain gate of the beast palace, he can become a disciple of the beast palace, and the palace master will personally rush to the mountain gate to lead him into the beast palace.

However, it is a life-or-death adventure, because the foreign monks are not protected by the Beast Palace, so when worshipping the mountain, once defeated, it will be sacrificed as food to the demon beast tribe of the mountain.

Originally, those talents who claimed to be geniuses were still happy about it, after all, the original Beast Control Palace was too powerful, but when the Beast Control Palace encountered a catastrophe, the status of the Beast Control Palace plummeted.

The vassal families of the major forces have fled to set up another mountain, dismembering a beast control palace and falling apart, it relies on the only bit of power, firmly controlling the land of Kyushu outside the wasteland, although the strength has rebounded slightly over the years, but still can't get out of this predicament.

Because of this, no one was willing to risk their lives to win the place of disciple of the Beast Control Palace, which didn't look very good, and because of this, the light in Chahadi's eyes immediately dimmed when it only shone......

Lou Yi looked up at the barren mountain range under the mist, feeling its desolation and loneliness, and then he walked forward and disappeared from everyone's eyes, if he wanted to reach the Beast Control Palace, he had to pass the mountain worship ceremony, and others could temporarily enter the ring of Jade Zhen Qiankun.

Li Dou and the others waited outside the mountain, because they were originally from the Beast Control Palace, so they didn't have to enter the Beast Control Palace through this, they only needed to wait here, waiting for Lou Yi to pass the test of the Mountain Worship Ceremony.

Lou Yi walked along the mountain road, and the feeling of being surrounded by demons was extremely strong, this feeling was very similar to the feeling when he was in Beizhou, when facing those demon saints, he even had an illusion, in this Kunwu realm, whether the demon beast was the real master.

He had seen with his own eyes a terrifying demon god who destroyed the Huangquan Palace, the overlord of the Kunwu realm, and it is said that the real existence that rules Zhongzhou now is the Yanlin clan, coupled with the Helian Mountains in Beizhou, which made Lou Yi feel extremely depressed.

He even wondered why for so long, there had never been a monk who had ascended to the upper realm, and those predecessors who had ascended had never returned to the Kunwu realm, whether all of this was related to the current situation in the Kunwu realm.

While he was thinking wildly, a voice suddenly exploded in his head, "Outsider, tell me what you mean!"

Lou Yi stood still and said loudly, "The junior is named Lou Yi, who was originally a disciple of the Beast Control Palace, but the junior is away all the year round and has not participated in the baptism of the Beast Palace, so today I want to follow the ancient law and worship the mountain ceremony, and I hope that the predecessors of the demon clan in the mountains will not hesitate to give advice!"

"You said that you are a disciple of the Beast Control Palace, how can you rely on it?" another voice appeared and questioned.

Lou Yi raised the breeding ring in his hand, and at the same time took the yellow red out of the Teng Snake Jade Ring, he spoke, "The ancient demon is pretending to be a demon, and it is taboo for people, and it is relied on by demons." People are not provocative, demons are not self-made, human nature is not bad, and demon nature is not ......"

"Heaven and earth are obedient, the spiritual platform does not fall, the gods are not evil, and the human body is a tool. The demon spirit is the soul, the human soul does not fall, the demon spirit does not invade, and the demon soul is not destroyed......" Lou Yi said the mantra of the demon spirit fusion method in one breath, the reason why he did not perform the psychic method is because the psychic method is the secret method of the beast control palace, and ordinary disciples are not allowed to practice at all.

Lou Yi mixed and refined the Breeding Pill in front of everyone, which was regarded as answering the other party's question, and then everything calmed down, and after a while, Lou Yi found that the fog in front of him gradually dissipated, and he clearly saw the true face of the barren mountain range for the first time.
