The sudden rebellion of demon beasts and the sudden appearance of earth demons made the Jinting Mountain Range shrouded in a layer of darkness, and the Chengming Sect was quiet. For this reason, more than a dozen Jindan Realm elders personally patrol the mountain ranges every day. At the same time, the Pure Heaven True Sect sent nine elders to sit in Kyushu in the territory of Xuanzhou. However, the Chengming Sect did not spread the matter to the two major sects of Maha Hall and Taiyi Mansion.

Originally, the three elders who presided over the big trial were Qihong Zhenren of the Yuqing First Line, Yehan Zhenren of the Shangqing First Line, and Haoyi Zhenren of the Taiqing First Line, but due to the sudden incident, another elder was added to each vein to participate in presiding over the big trial. However, the date is still the original date of September 9 and has not been changed.

This kind of great trial of the Chengming Sect is one of the most important things for the sect and for the disciples of the sect. However, all disciples who are qualified to enter the school, regardless of their age, regardless of their age, regardless of their realm, can go to any place, and there will be no additional assessment. Perhaps, it is because the assessment of the thirty-six difficulties in the entrance is enough to explain the problem! Moreover, for the disciples of the Chengming Sect, this kind of opportunity is only once in their lives, and whether they can get the great opportunity to change their lives against the sky is also in this trial.

The Chengming Sect has been founded for more than 10,000 years, and there have been twenty-one generations of disciples, and no one has ever talked about the same regional situation about the great trial of the sect, and there has never been a meeting between disciples of the sect. That is to say, the area of each trial is completely different, and the disciples who enter the trial area are also completely isolated.

It is difficult to determine whether there is a powerful 10,000-year inheritance in the area where the trial is held, such as the Dao inheritance of the primeval gods or the ancient sages. At least, since the founding of the Chengming Sect, there have been such legends, but no disciple has ever obtained it. In the past, the biggest opportunity was to obtain the almost extinct heaven and earth spiritual materials on the Hongmeng Continent.

In the area of the trial, there are places where alien races live, and there are dangerous places where monsters and beasts are infested. If you don't have the strength to protect yourself, it's really hard to get out. And once they enter the trial area, only after thirty-six days, the sect can take them out of the trial area according to the breath of the living person.

Despite this, for the Terran monks who have the opportunity to change their lives against the sky, they are always invincible. Therefore, the disciples of the Chengming Sect have always rushed to go first, even if it is to find spiritual materials of the sixth grade and above, what it means to the monks is self-evident.

More importantly, the Chengming Sect set up a pyramid-style reward method to reward the disciples of great chance. This is also done on a completely voluntary basis. If the disciples of the sect are willing to take out their own income and hand it over to the sect, and can believe that the reward of the sect is better than their own gains, they can show their gains on the Yuqing platform. On the contrary, the disciples also have the right to hide this secret that only belongs to themselves, after all, this is likely to be the biggest hole card in a person's life, maybe after that night, an unknown disciple will stand out and become a master.

In short, Cheng Mingzong's treatment of any link has tended to be perfect.

It is said that seven days after the rebellion of the demon beasts was calmed down, Yue Chen was summoned by Haojing Zhenren to go to the Chenhe Palace.

In the Chenhe Palace, not only the elders of the Taiqing lineage were there, but there were also four elders of the other two lineages, but there was no senior brother of the same generation.

After Yue Chen visited them one by one, he stood in the hall and waited for the elders to ask questions.

One of the elders who spoke first was Qihong Zhenren, and said, "Master Yue's nephew doesn't need to be too nervous. The origin of this Seven Evil Xuanmu, we have already ascertained, but it belongs to Jinting Mountain, and it is also an ordinary Xuanmu. It's just that this Xuanmu has been calcined by pure yang fire for seven days and seven nights, and it still hasn't been damaged in the slightest, and it looks extremely unusual.

Moreover, the senior brother has also checked clearly, this thing is neither a blood refining thing, nor a qi refining thing, and the master and nephew can't urge it. Nowadays, we old men can't be sure when this Xuanmu will be inductively driven.

Therefore, we are here today to ask if anything unusual happened when you got this dark wood?"

"Yes!" Yue Chen replied without thinking. So he told the elders about the red shadow people he met one by one, but he just hid the matter of Wei Yufeng.

Haojing Zhenren said slowly: "Sure enough, as the senior brother expected, it was really him!"

All the elders looked solemn and nodded slightly.

The first elder on the left hand of Hao Jing Zhenren, his face is like the moon, his eyebrows and lips are red, and he is dressed in a neon robe, like a fairy. This person was Yehan Zhenren, and he only heard her ask: "In other words, your Dao has advanced by leaps and bounds, and it is completely due to this Xuanmu?"

Yue Chen replied, "Yes!"

Yehan Zhenren said again: "This opportunity can be described as a mixed blessing! In the future, it is up to you whether or not you can become a cultivator! Because it controls your Dao behavior, if you want to reach the Divine Realm, without the help of the Nine Rank Spirit Pill and the Nine Turns Golden Essence Pill, it is completely impossible. ”

After Yue Chen heard this, he couldn't help but swallow his saliva. This legendary Nine Rank Spirit Pill only exists in the collection because no one on the Hongmeng Continent has long been able to refine it. Yue Chen had read a lot of books, so he naturally knew a thing or two about this elixir. In the final analysis, it was because the two main materials for refining this elixir, lapis lazuli and ink frost silk, were almost extinct. In particular, the ink frost silk has not been seen in the Hongmeng Continent for 3,000 years. Therefore, several major sects have empty pills, but no one has ever been able to refine a nine-turn golden marrow pill. When this happens, anyone has to accept their fate, let alone Yue Chen.

The old man believes that there must be other ways to find it! This Seven Evil Trees still belongs to you. In addition, in this rebellion of the Ping Demon Beasts, your performance is very good, and the sect will still reward you. Take the Seven Evil Wood and the little Ruyi Ring, and you go back first. We have things to talk about. ”

Yue Chen took the things, made a big salute respectfully, and slowly withdrew from the Chenhe Palace. When I returned to the Heavenly Altar, I had mixed feelings in my heart. All in all, for a while, Yue Chen didn't know what to do with this Xuanmu. Anyway, this Xuanmu once saved his life. Moreover, according to the words of the elders just now, they were completely aware of the existence of the Red Shadow Man, and even knew his origin very clearly. I couldn't help but have a strange thought in my heart: "Chengming Sect, Red Shadow Man, and Earth Demon, what is the relationship between this?"

In any case, Yue Chen's time still needs to be spent preparing for the big trial. As for the rebellion of the Ping Demon Beasts, it was quickly forgotten.

September 9th.

Xuanzhou, Jinting Mountain, Tianzhu Peak.

Since the Earth Demon tentatively rebelled, the territory of Xuanzhou suddenly became quiet for a few minutes, and the situation lasted for three months.

For Cheng Mingzong, regardless of whether it is a dark surge or a calm wave, the big things that should be done must continue. Therefore, on this day, the one thousand and twenty-four disciples who participated in the Great Trial all stood under the Yuqing platform, facing the nine Golden Pillar Xuanzhu. The passage leading to the trial area of the Chengming Sect was in the space enclosed by the nine pillars. The secret here has always been known only to the first person of the Yuqing lineage.

This is the great test that Chengming Sect has always attached the most importance to.

Like Yue Chen's "experience", it was just an ordinary small trial. In fact, this kind of situation is often for the disciples of the sect to look for spiritual materials in a fixed realm in order to support the sect. Compared with the big trial, it is not the tip of the iceberg at all, and the nature is completely different. For example, for the Shangqing lineage, such a small trial will be held at least once every two years.

For the twenty-first generation of disciples, this was the third great trial held by the sect. In the first big trial, Chu Yunyi, Han Yu, and Liu Yuan stood out, and in the second big trial, only Fu Qiyi stood out. And Fu Qiyi was originally the second batch of disciples, and he was also the second disciple of Zilun Zhenren, who could have participated in the first big trial, but because of the cultivation of the secret method taught by Zilun Zhenren, he had to miss the first opportunity.

The disciples of the first two major trials were the first and second batches, but although the third and fourth batches were the main ones participating in the trials, the first and second batches of disciples also participated.

As for the qualifications of disciples participating in the Great Trial, the minimum requirement is that the realm has reached the ninth level of the Hundred Cultivation Realm, and secondly, they must be able to guarantee their own self-protection. In this way, at least the elder's personal disciples are among them, and they will all receive life-saving things from the master. Secondly, disciples who are not personal disciples but have cultivated to the level of five or more in the Qing Realm are also unconditionally participating. Others are a small number of disciples with different circumstances.

Therefore, among these more than 1,000 people, the proportion of personal disciples is very small, but they are the most elite and the most core.

Yue Chen stood in the crowd, habitually looking for disciples in the same batch. But after searching for a long time, I found out which batch of their disciples had less than 100 people participating in this big trial. The number of disciples who entered with Du Chenyi and the others reached nearly 500. Undoubtedly, this group of disciples has become the main object of this training. Faintly, it seems that he can compete with the third group of disciples led by Qin Daiyu, Chong Xu, and Su Shi. And the number of participants in the third batch of disciples is only in the early four hundred.

The quota of these five hundred people reminded Yue Chen of the last "experience" he participated in, and said in his heart: "At the beginning, when the sect was ready to abandon so many people, it turned out that more replacements had already been prepared. ”

The direction in which more than 1,000 people stand is also extremely exquisite. However, all the personal disciples of the elders of the sect are all in the red range, and compared to the number of people, they only account for about one-tenth. And the spatial position of the disciples entering the Golden Gate Xuanzhu has always been fixed, which is the middle area. It is said that the realm entered by the disciples is often a hundred times more dangerous. Of course, the higher the danger, the greater the chance.

Ouyang Xiu stood among the disciples of the lineage, looking out of place, and even several of his peers deliberately avoided him. Anyway, he didn't care, he just looked at Yue Chen vigorously, and kept squeezing his eyebrows. Yue Chen smiled back and signaled good luck.

At the end of the hour, at the beginning of the hour. Six regiments of Jinyun descended from the sky, and the person who came was naturally the sect elder who presided over this big trial. The six elders first respectfully paid homage to the three gods, and then, Qihong Zhenren, who was the leader, took out three golden talismans and slowly pasted them on the eyebrows of the three gods.

Suddenly, there were nine loud noises from inside the Golden Gate Xuanzhu, as if the door that had been sealed for many years was opened. Looking up, there is still no change inside, and it remains the same.

At this moment, two small heads, one white and one black, poked out from the beast cage hanging from Yue Chen's waist, and looked nervously at the Golden Que Xuanzhu.

Qihong Zhenren asked the other five elders with his eyes, and when he saw the elders nodding in response, he waved his hand and motioned for the disciples to enter according to their rank. And between the eyebrows of the elders, there seemed to be a faint sorrow and unease.

The order of entry was to divide into nine teams, with the personal disciples being the first team, and they were the first to disappear into the space of the Xuan Zhu. When all the disciples disappeared into the Xuanzhu space, a layer of spiritual power as thin as tin foil wrapped the periphery of the Golden Gate Xuanzhu, protecting and nourishing the Xuanzhu like a jade clear enchantment, so as to achieve a stable effect.

The six elders sat on the Yuqing platform together, staring at the distance. I saw that the northeast corner of Xuanzhou was flooded with red light, slowly diffuse, and gradually condensed into a rolling blood cloud.

"As my brother expected!"
