Chapter 31: The Humbling Pagoda
Because the Aoki Sect is the only first-grade sect in the Southeast Continent, this time the Southeast Continent competes in the Secret Realm of the Capital and is held in the Aoki City under it.
This is a grand event for the entire continent, and the other two major first-grade sects in the Lingyun Continent will also hold competitions at the same time.
In the end, each of the three sects decided to have a hundred people, and at the same time participated in the grand meeting once every fifty years in the secret realm of the capital.
When he came to the council of Aoki City, Zhang Zhangmen reported the information of the Lushan faction. Mo Zhuoyu and his entourage were led to the residence of the monks who were specially placed to participate in the competition. There were few people in the Lushan faction, so they lived in a courtyard.
Thinking of leaving in a hurry last time, Mo Zhuoyu sent a message to Yi Yao and asked her to come out to meet.
The next day, on the second floor of a tavern in Aoki City, Mo Zhuoyu and Yi Yao sat opposite each other.
"I haven't seen you for many days, Yi Daoyou is okay?" Mo Zhuoyu looked at Yi Yao, who looked more calm and mature than when he first met, and took the lead in asking.
"I'm fine, Sister Mo is also here to participate in the Yudu Secret Realm Qualification Competition this time?" Yi Yao smiled reluctantly and changed the subject.
Seeing her reluctant smile, Mo Zhuoyu thought that she was still immersed in the grief of Yi Qian's disappearance, so she didn't think much about it, and nodded, "Yes, this time the sect has won the quota to participate in the competition, and it is lucky that it has also been qualified to run for the election." ”
"Then I want to congratulate Sister Mo in advance, I hope you have achieved good results in the competition", Yi Yao finally changed his mood when he heard this, and said with a sincere smile.
"Speaking of which, Yun Daoyou has already built a foundation, I don't know if I will participate in this competition!" Mo Zhuoyu suddenly sighed when he thought of the last four-person expedition.
When Yi Yao heard this, his smile suddenly became sly, "Will Yun Daoyou participate, you will know if you ask him later!"
When Mo Zhuoyu heard this, he was surprised and said, "Yun Daoyou is also in Aoki City?"
"Well, Yun Daoyou has been in Aoki City for a long time. I received your message yesterday, so I told him, and now I should be coming soon. ”
Sure enough, just a moment, there was a knock at the door.
Mo Zhuoyu opened the door, wasn't it who Yun Zhu was.
"Mo Daoyou, Yi Daoyou" Yun Zhu smiled and arched his hand, "Uninvited, I hope Mo Daoyou will forgive me." ”
Mo Zhuoyu shook his head and invited him into the house with a smile, "Yun Daoyou has seen outside, I also wanted to look for you yesterday, but I didn't leave your contact information when I left last time, so I had to give up." ”
The three of them hadn't seen each other for a long time, so they exchanged pleasantries. Finally, I talked about this competition.
"As a disciple of the Aoki Sect, I wonder if you know how this competition will be held?" Mo Zhuoyu turned his head to look at Yi Yao and asked.
Yi Yao shook his head, "I'm just an outer disciple, and I'm not qualified to participate in the competition during the Qi cultivation period. Therefore, the details of the competition are not clear. However, I heard that this tournament will not be a traditional battle. ”
Yun Zhu also nodded when he heard this, "That's right, I heard from the master that there are thousands of monks participating in this competition." The time for the opening of the secret realm of Yudu is approaching, so I guess I chose another way to select. ”
Although Yun Zhu was a casual cultivator, his master Daoyang Zhenren, as a Yuanying cultivator, still won a qualification for him from the quota of casual cultivation. So in this competition, Yunzhu will also participate.
Three days later, in the center of Aoki City, in front of the council's office.
The monks who participated in the contest and the crowd of onlookers densely filled the entire square.
The head of the Aoki Sect stood on the high platform in the center and announced the rules of the competition to everyone below.
This time, as Yi Yao said, it was not a traditional two-to-two battle. In order to increase efficiency, the Aoki Sect took out the treasure of the Zhenzong, the Nine Rank Magic Weapon, and the Hun Ling Pagoda.
Legend has it that the Hun Ling Tower is divided into nine floors, and it contains all kinds of demon beasts and fierce beasts captured by ancient powers. This time, because it was only a competition for foundation building disciples, only the bottom three floors were opened.
The rules of the competition are very simple, as long as the top 100 enter the third layer, they can successfully obtain the qualification to enter the secret realm of Yudu.
The pagoda is set up in the forbidden land of the Aoki Sect, and a group of participating disciples can directly enter the tower through the teleportation array set up by the Aoki Sect.
Lu Shan sent five people, led by Jiang Cheng, and followed the monks in front of them into the teleportation array.
The head of the Lushan faction sighed, "These children have this opportunity, I don't know if it's lucky or unlucky!"
Xiao Huai beside him sneered, "I don't know how many monks envy me if I have the opportunity to see the Nine Rank Magic Weapon." If there were any of the remaining monks in this square, would anyone choose not to go!"
Zhang Zhangmen shook his head and did not speak again.
Mo Zhuoyu and his party passed through the teleportation array and were instantly transmitted into the Hun Ling Pagoda.
Standing still, Mo Zhuoyu used his spiritual power to calm down the spiritual power fluctuations caused by the teleportation array.
Turning his head and looking around, there was a desolate desert, except for the five of her, there was no sign of anyone else, and there was no way to see where the passage to the upper tower would be.
Several other people also wrinkled their eyebrows and observed the surroundings, but no one spoke for a while.
In the end, Jiang Cheng said, "Everyone, this desert, the danger is unknown, we still act together, how about it?"
Mo Zhuoyu and the others all nodded in agreement. After several people discussed, they chose a direction and leaned forward.
The temperature in the desert was very high, and a few people walked on it, feeling the heat emitting from the soles of their feet. But in order to save spiritual power, he didn't dare to fly rashly with spiritual power. After all, they don't know how big this desert is, and how much time it will take them to enter the upper layer.
The hot air came from the surface, there was no cool breeze in the air, and the whole person was like an oven. Mo Zhuoyu felt that if he didn't cool down all the time, if he continued like this, he was afraid that without the demon beast enemy, a few people would be killed by the heat.
Fortunately, she is a water spirit root monk, and she can use spells to turn the aura in the air into water, so that the few people are not killed before they die of heat.
After walking for less than a quarter of an hour, Jiang Cheng at the front suddenly stopped his pace, and several people stood up vigilantly when they saw this.
As it quieted down, the sounds around him became more and more pronounced. Because of the obstruction of the yellow sand, I can't see each other's figures clearly for the time being. But listening to this movement, you know that there are a large number of people coming, and I am afraid that they are monsters in this desert.
Mo Zhuoyu took out the sunset bow, wound the water arrow, and waited for the battle.
Suddenly, a red line appeared in the distance, gradually covering the yellow desert, and all as far as the eye could see was a red figure.
Several people had serious faces, and after seeing the first blood lizard that attacked, they all attacked in unison.
The strength of this blood lizard may only be comparable to the current first-grade demon beast. However, because of the large number of them, if you entangle the enemy, you will suck up the opponent's blood. Not to mention the Qi Cultivation Foundation Cultivator, even if an ordinary Jindan Monk suddenly encounters it, it is difficult to get out. However, the inner Dan bloodstone is a good material for refining magic weapons, so it was massively killed by monks in ancient times, and now it is rarely seen in the cultivation world.
Mo Zhuoyu and the others were only in the early stage of foundation building, and they had not long advanced to build the foundation, and suddenly encountered so many blood lizards, and they were entangled for a while, and their bodies gradually became embarrassed.
When entering the Hunling Tower, it is only said that you can enter the second layer through the teleportation array, but there is no explanation where the teleportation array is and how to open the teleportation array. But since there are regulations for killing demon beasts, it must be related to demon beasts.
Therefore, although a few people were able to get out, in order to compete, they still kept killing the blood lizards that pounced on them.
