Chapter 25: The Trial of the Sect

The remaining ice beads did not cause much trouble to Yan Jingchen, and after easily defusing Jiang Ai's final blow with the Taiji Diagram, Yan Jingchen had no other discomfort except for being a little tired.

Jiang Ai stood in front of Yan Jingchen with fluttering clothes, although she was happy in her heart, but her face did not change in the slightest, with the majesty of being a teacher, seeing that Yan Jingchen's breathing gradually stabilized, she opened her mouth and said: "It's not a loss to be a person who is favored by the eldest lady, it's really not trivial." You go back first, I'll make arrangements for cultivation. ”

Hearing that he had passed Jiang Ai's trial, Yan Jingchen breathed a sigh of relief, and after saying goodbye to Jiang Ai, he returned to the sect the same way.

Back at the residence, he first went to Zhang Daohong's room, knocked on the door a few times outside, and there was no movement inside. At this time, a senior brother passing by said, "Senior Brother Zhang has already moved to the Great Elder's side, Senior Brother Yan can go there to find him." ”

Yan Jingchen smiled bitterly, this Lu Qingyao really held a grudge, but after thinking about Jiang Ai's attitude towards him, he was relieved. After a few pleasantries with the monks passing by, he turned back to his quarters.

More than ten days passed in the blink of an eye. On this day, the Immortal Emperor City was bustling, and the best young monks in the world gathered in the square in front of the Immortal Saint Hall, waiting for the arrival of the sect's final election.

According to legend, the ancestors of the five major sects of Immortal Emperor City were originally the five most outstanding disciples of the Dao Ancestors. After the Dao Ancestor broke through the sky and ascended, the power of the demon clan was ready to move, in a vain attempt to dominate the world. Therefore, in order to protect the mortals in the world from the persecution of the demons, the ancestors of the five major sects decided to unite and drive the demons back to their nests in one fell swoop, and established the Immortal Emperor City, shouldering the heavy responsibility of resisting the demons for generations.

Originally, the five major families were all developing independently, but with the feathering of a generation of saints one after another, the strength of Immortal Emperor City was gradually declining, and when it came to resisting the demons, it had gradually shown its defeat.

100,000 years ago, the demon clan attacked the Immortal Emperor City on a large scale, and the five major families were defeated, so they decided to ask for help from all the states and counties on the mainland, and a large number of hidden powerhouses responded one after another and repelled the attack of the demon clan. At this point, the grand occasion of the final election of Immortal Emperor City was completely opened, and countless young geniuses joined the team guarding the continent.

An old man floated into the air and landed on a high platform in the square. The old man was dressed in white, with his silver hair all over his head, and the image of an immortal outside the world came to life in the hearts of everyone.

Although the old man had white hair, his face was extremely ruddy, without a trace of wrinkles, and his appearance made the young people in the square in front of the Immortal Holy Hall immediately quiet down. The old man glanced at the monks in the square, and said: "Today, the young heroes of the mainland have gathered in my Immortal Emperor City, and in the future, Wang'er and others will take the survival of the world as their own responsibility......"

The old man spoke freely for a long time about the historical mission and encouragement of Immortal Emperor City, and a very beautiful woman in the square looked around in the crowd, and a burly man squeezed to her side and said, "Sister Rong, no trace of Yan Jingchen has been found. Do you think he didn't come to Immortal Emperor City at all?"

This woman is Baili Rong in the Baili family, these days, everyone in the Baili family has been looking for Yan Jingchen's whereabouts in the city, but there has been no result. I thought that today's initiation ceremony would definitely catch Yan Jingchen, but I didn't expect it to be a vain return.

Baili Rong frowned, and a hint of murderous intent flashed in her eyes, "Let him live for a while longer, and the family's affairs must not be delayed." ”

At this time, the old man on the high platform finished speaking, and then five figures flew to the high platform.

Judging from the costumes of these five people, it is clear that they are from different sects. The old man stood sideways to make way for the five men, and a young man in the form of a young man in a dark green robe with two crossed arrows embroidered on his chest was the first to step forward.

He didn't make any extra movements, and casually threw out a jade talisman, which exploded in the air, and a crack that was more than one person tall and deep and hollow appeared in the air.

The young man coughed lightly and said, "Xu Ge of the Xu family, if you want to enter my Xu family's sect, you can enter the trial now. ”

After that, Xu Ge retreated. Another man stepped forward, making the same action as Xu Ge before, opening a crack in the air, and then identifying himself.

There was silence in the square, and everyone was counting their own little calculations. When the trial of the Jiang family finally opened, the monks in the square immediately rushed forward.

Unlike the noisy crowd, the seventeen teenagers of the Baili family were gathering together at this time, and it was Baili Rong in the center, obviously she had great prestige among this group.

Baili Rong's voice was soft and crisp, but it made Wen undoubted, "I will go to the Lu family sect in a while, Xiao Xiu you go to the Jiang family, Mo Yu you go to the Ning family, Wenshi you go to the Xu family, and the others go to the Qiu family in a group to try to pass the trial." ”

The three people named by Baili Rong are the three people who have the highest cultivation in the Baili family besides her. At this time, there was a plan, and everyone walked towards their own trial.

There is no limit to the number of people in the trials of the five major sects, as long as you can successfully pass it, you can enter the corresponding sect. Just when the initiation ceremony was in full swing, Yan Jingchen was staying in his room and meditating and practicing.

Gradually, he was surrounded by a strange brilliance, and his entire body began to become transparent, and the meridians in his body flowed extremely quickly. A discerning person knew at a glance that he had broken through the Nine Levels of the Concentration Dao Realm and was preparing for the establishment of the Dao.

Yan Jingchen's hands kept changing, stretching out a finger on his forehead, and the other hand was crossed over his shoulder. As the brilliance became more and more prosperous, Yan Jingchen's body slowly disappeared into the room.

In the sea of knowledge, Yan Jingchen stood in front of the 'Dao Seed' and looked at his body in amazement. In the past, although he was also able to enter the sea of consciousness, it was all the time that the divine consciousness entered the sea, and it was the first time that he had an entity in the sea of consciousness like today.

On the sapling transformed into the 'Dao Seed', three closed flower buds appeared, Yan Jingchen stretched out his hand and tried to touch it, but when his fingers had not touched the flower buds, a clear picture instantly filled his mind.

In the picture, a petite and lovely woman happily chases butterflies in the field, her eyes are bright, and two shallow smiles hang on her face. Yan Jingchen shouted at the woman in a trembling voice, but the woman didn't react at all and ran on her own.

The scene shifts to a blacksmith's shop, where the flames in the forge are blazing. A dark-skinned middle-aged uncle was pounding a piece of reddish iron with a hammer, and next to the stove, a thin teenager, holding the bellows lever in both hands, was struggling to pull.

Yan Jingchen saw the scene in the picture, although he knew that this paragraph was fake, but he still watched silently, the young man in the picture was himself, the woman was Yan Xue'er who he had been thinking about for a long time, and the middle-aged uncle was his dead adoptive father.

Looking at this warm scene, Yan Jingchen's heart was surging like a wave, thinking that if it weren't for the pursuit of the Baili family, he would have given up the immortal path a long time ago and went to live his ordinary life.

Yan Jingchen sighed and withdrew his fingers. Although the picture continued, he did not dare to touch it again. embarked on the path of cultivating immortals, and the beauty of those mortals was no longer with him.

Standing in front of the 'Dao Seed', Yan Jingchen muttered: "Is this my morality, how can I see through the true feelings of the world." ”

After thinking for a moment, Yan Jingchen stretched out his hand to the second flower bud again, just like the situation just now. Scenes burst into his mind.

In the middle of the vast mountains, a man with a baby in his arms flew in the air, the man was extraordinary-looking, with a high nose, resolute eyes, and sword-like eyebrows flying obliquely into the black hair under the corners of the temples. Handsome side face, perfect and impeccable.

The man fell from the clouds, and standing in front of him was an old dragon clock, resembling a withered old man, and the old man knelt down in front of the man, looking extremely respectful. The man handed the baby in his arms to the old man, and untied a pendant from his neck and placed it in the baby's hand. The man looked at the infant baby, his eyes were full of love, then turned his back and wiped a handful of tears, said a few words to the old man, and then walked away, leaving only a white earth.

Yan Jingchen looked at it and guessed in his heart, could it be that this is my biological father. With his previous experience, Yan Jingchen knew that the picture of this 'Dao Seed' must be related to him, but he couldn't guess the mystery in it, so he chose to continue watching.

After a white glow, the picture is taken to a splendid castle, and in a beautifully decorated room, a beautiful woman is lying on the bed, looking at her cheeks, which is extremely pale and weak.

In her sleep, the beautiful woman didn't know what she dreamed of, and suddenly sat up from the bed. After a while, the beautiful woman lifted the quilt and got out of bed, and walked barefoot to the window. Pushing open the window, the sky outside was gray and gloomy, just like the face of a beautiful woman, she reached out to hold the thing on her chest, looked into the distance, and two lines of tears unconsciously overflowed her eyes.

Yan Jingchen looked at such a picture, affected by the emotions of the beautiful woman, he also left tears, touched his chest, and the feeling unique to the Eye of Ten Thousand Laws spread throughout his body, pulling him back from his grief.

A completely different feeling from when he saw Yan Xue as a child arose in his heart, he had followed the village chief Zhang Da since he was a child, and it was not until Yan Tiesheng came back from the army that he could be regarded as having a 'father'. Seeing the beautiful woman at this time, the maternal love emanating from her really moved Yan Jingchen.

"I want to become stronger, strong enough to track down the whereabouts of my parents!" Over the years, Yan Jingchen has also asked the village chief about his biological parents, and the village chief has politely avoided it every time, the most recent time was when he embarked on the immortal path, but the village chief said that the time was too early, and his cultivation was too low.

After looking at the first two buds, Yan Jingchen stretched out his hand to the third bud, and just as he stretched out his hand, a piece of blood red filled his vision, piling up corpses, and dark red blood occupied all the pictures.

Yan Jingchen's heart was touched, since he embarked on the road of cultivating immortals, he began to take life and death very lightly, and several battles that escaped death made him begin to despise the value of life a little. But when the picture zoomed in, familiar faces appeared in front of him, the family members of Zhang Sanhu's family, the shopkeeper who sold iron tools in Luoyu City, and the old and young in Yanjia Village......

The bell came from outside the house, Yan Jingchen stopped cultivating, and slowly opened his eyes, "Today is the day when Tianjiao from all over the world comes to the Immortal Emperor City to enter the sect, I hope that I won't meet the talents of the Baili family in front of the Yang Temple." ”
