Taiyi Academy, the most mysterious Terran Cultivation School in Dongsheng Continent, in addition to the Daomen Spirit Domain and the Heavenly Demon Forest, the entire Dongsheng Continent has the existence of this school in all major countries and major forces.

The Taiyi Academy is completely independent of the various countries and sects in Dongshengzhou, and never interferes in the government, military, and cultivation affairs of various countries, nor does it provide protection for the country where it is located like the Protector God Cult, they only cultivate top cultivation talents for the country or force where they are located.

Taiyi School has always adhered to the principle of "learning-oriented, not respecting teachers", all students can complete the foundation period to the Jindan period of study in the school, once the student breaks through to the Yuan infant stage, the school will announce that the student has graduated, and then send him back to the original sect, and can not set foot in the Taiyi School again for life.

And these disciples who returned from studying at the Taiyi Academy later became important figures in the original sect, and after they became stronger, they would be more determined to maintain the transcendent status of the Taiyi Academy.

Historically, no matter how the situation changes, the rise and fall of the country, the rise and fall of power, and the annihilation of power, no one has ever been able to shake the status of the Taiyi Academy, even the three major protector gods of the Huaxia Clan, Jingyunguan, Jixia Xuegong and Daluo Sect, have never shaken the important position of the Taiyi Academy in the minds of the monks.

Therefore, there is another set of sect division standards in Dongshengzhou, that is, on top of the four-level sect division of "Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang", a yuan-level sect - Taiyi Academy, and the protector gods and sects of various human countries are quasi-yuan-level sects, so as to show the difference between them and ordinary heaven-level sects.

If joining the Cult of the Protector God can give a monk the opportunity to become a high-level monk, then joining the Taiyi Academy is a monk's path to becoming a dragon.

The Taiyi Academy of the Song Kingdom opened the mountain gate every ten years, and only ninety-nine disciples were recruited each time, and these places had already been occupied by the major heaven-level sects of the Song Kingdom, and outsiders had no chance to join the Taiyi Academy at all.

This time, the foundation building conference of Yunnan and Guizhou provinces was able to obtain the admission quota of seven Taiyi schools, it seems that the Daluo faction must have done a lot of work behind the scenes, this kind of golden opportunity, how could the various sects easily let go, and they ignored the regulations of the conference, forcibly transmitted the news to their disciples, and ordered them to enter the top seven.

Most of the participating disciples were sad, and they could only fight against the masters of the sect in silence, and if the sixty-nine people only took the top seven, then sixty-two people would definitely be eliminated, and most of the participating disciples were sure that they were in the list of sixty-two.

Tianhuo's eyes lit up when he heard about the Taiyi Academy, and before the Venerable Qingquan recommended Zhong Xingmin to go to the Daluo Sect to learn the pupil technique, he didn't have a trace of jealousy, because in Tianhuo's opinion, this kind of sect that was too deeply involved in secular affairs must have many bad habits, which were not enough to attract his interest.

However, the attraction of Taiyi Academy to Tianhuo is very great, I heard that there is the most novel and cutting-edge Xiuzhen research system and the most comprehensive and rich collection of books in Dongshengzhou, which is definitely an excellent place for Tianhuo who likes to explore all the secrets of the world, of course, Tianhuo also has the idea of taking the opportunity to go out and see this big world.

The other players who ranked high in the qualifying tournament also began to gear up, and this opportunity was also extremely precious to them, as long as they could successfully complete the courses of the foundation building period and the Jindan period in the Taiyi Academy, and return to the previous sect, they would immediately be listed as personal disciples by the sect, and from then on they would be cultivated as the high-level of the sect.

No one will refuse to reach the pinnacle of life, so they desperately want to win a place back, which is not only related to their future gains and losses, but also related to the honor and face of the sect.

In the five small miles of the Northern Yunnan League, Tianhuo has the least pressure, which is a kind of self-confidence in its own strength.

And Gu Qingliu is under the most pressure, he just happened to be ranked seventh in the qualifying round, this may be the only chance for him to enter Taiyi Academy in his life, even with Gu Qingliu's calm and calm personality, he has become a loser at this time.

Ding Feng, Sikong Nana and Zhong Xingmin didn't have much hope for the top seven, because there were too many powerful players in front of them, so after hearing the news, the three of them said they were very calm.

All the contestants began to talk to each other, especially the sect that had more than one person shortlisted for the competition, and had already begun to discuss the strategy and tactics after entering the secret realm.

Tianhuo was also quietly retreating, he came to the middle of the four small schools of the Northern Yunnan Alliance, and said in a low voice and quickly: "Brothers, after entering the secret realm for a while, I will first move closer to the big lake in the center of the labyrinth as soon as possible, and find a way to disqualify some opponents by the way."

When I get to the Great Lake, I'll call you directly to me with the Five Sons Hearts card, and then we'll go collect as much as we can for the Somespring Silverfish, and as for the Tears of the Merman, that's just a matter of luck. ”

Zhong Xingmin had already taken off his blindfold at this time, and the injury to his eyes had fully recovered, and he hurriedly said, "Brother Tianhuo, although this will rob you of a lot of time, the defensive formation of the Wuzi Lianxin Card will not be usable." ”

Tianhuo said: "In the end, the winner of this game is determined by the number of Youquan silverfish, if you only think about defense, you can't get a good ranking, so make every effort to shorten the travel time in the maze, this is the key to victory."

Even if we have to clash with others by the lake, if we have some silverfish in our hands and the other party doesn't, we dare to let go and entangle with the other party, and the other party must be afraid of losing time and will not do too much entanglement with us, so that we can have a chance to win.

As for security, you don't have to worry, as long as you are within a certain range of my side, I am sure that I can protect you. ”

Gu Qingliu said: "Okay, Tianhuo, the situation in the secret realm is unknown, I think this is the best way I can think of at the moment, we will all listen to you." ”

The exchange time was very short, and the dust announced the start of the game, and Tianhuo was the first to jump off the whirlpool, only to see his figure flash a foot above the whirlpool, and then disappear, not directly into the whirlpool.

The next contestants enter one at every three breaths, until all the contestants enter the secret realm through the whirlpool.

Tianhuo felt dizzy and nauseous during the teleportation, but fortunately, this discomfort was within the range of the body's tolerance, and the teleportation time was not long, only two or three breaths, and Tianhuo appeared in a passage.

The passage was low, no more than eight feet high and two feet wide, and it was humid and warm, with a great earthy and fishy smell in the air.

The walls and ground of the passage are gray-white and sticky wet soil, which makes the walls and floor of the passage extremely slippery, I don't know what special ingredients are in the soil or water of the passage, the walls and the ground here emit a faint blue light, illuminating the entire passage, although it is not bright, but the monk can see very clearly with the help of such brightness.

Tianhuo frowned and looked at the environment here, a little worried about the shortlisted female cultivators, the environment here is really unacceptable for girls, people like Tianhuo who have a little cleanliness habit feel a little unbearable in this environment.

All the passages looked almost identical, and it was impossible to make out the direction at all, Tianhuo had to stop after a few steps, he stretched out his palms and pressed against the wet walls of the passage, slowly closed his eyes, and released his consciousness to explore the layout of the entire labyrinth.

......

On the ground, the last player jumped into the whirlpool, and the dust activated the formation, and the separated floor slowly closed again, returning to its original state, sealing the entrance to the entire secret realm.

Suddenly, someone asked: "Host, the contestants have all entered the secret realm, what are we doing here stupidly?

Weichen smiled slightly, "This fellow Daoist is a little restless, although we can't watch the children's games on the spot, but we have a way to know what they are probably doing." ”

Weichen launched another formation, only to see a huge water curtain rising in Dianchi Lake not far away, five zhang square, the water curtain was transparent at first, and after the water curtain stabilized, it turned black.

A maze pattern appeared on the water curtain, the black bottom, the white thick line looked very clear, and then some words appeared in various parts of the maze, look closely at those words are names, Tianhuo, Yan Bingshi, Li Hongfu and other names all appeared on the water curtain.

Some names are stationary, some are moving slowly, and some are moving quickly, but the vast majority of those who move quickly reach a dead end and have to quit to choose a new path again.

All the spectators were attracted by the moving names on the water curtain, which represented the disciples of various factions, and everyone paid close attention to the names of their own sects or familiar players, observing their movements.

Some anxious teachers saw that their disciples did not find a suitable way to find their way in the maze, but just jumped around in it, constantly hitting the wall, and stomped their feet in anger, and shouted angrily, but obviously the children in the maze could not hear it, and could only get angry in the stands.

The top players didn't move almost at first, and most of them weren't in a hurry to try the route, but were thinking about ways to crack the maze.

Some of the players who are jumping around have already met, and the two sides are about to separate, and there is no conflict, it seems that everyone is more cautious in the early stage, and does not want to share the victory or defeat with other players too early.

Weichen explained: "Because each contestant has a glass bead made of secret methods issued by the organizing committee, which has the information imprint of each contestant on it, which can be used as a magic weapon to save their lives when they fail, and can also display the movements of the contestants on the water curtain after they enter the secret realm."

What they did in the secret realm can also be judged by the display on the water screen, which is conducive to the staff of the conference to monitor the entire process of the game. ”

Zhong Nutao looked at the location of his apprentice on the screen, and couldn't help but ask Xuanjizi: "Brother Xuanji, why was my apprentice teleported to the corner, but Tianhuo was teleported to a location not too far from the central lake?"

Sikong Ba said: "Brother Nu Tao, I think this teleportation is random, but it will still be based on the order of entry, the lower the ranking, the farther away, this is no way, who calls other people's children to have good results in the preliminary round? You see our Nana and Ding Feng, they are farther away than Qingliu, and Tianhuo is closest to the central lake." ”

Gradually, most people found out about this, but that doesn't mean that the tournament was unfair, because the players who went first in were already doing well in the qualifiers, and it would be unfair to teleport them very far.

A large number of the disciples of the sect in the audience were eliminated in the qualifying round, and their attention to the finals dropped significantly.

As the host, Weichen is very good at controlling the atmosphere on the field, and after he saw that most of the people were impatient, he immediately slapped his hands three times, attracting everyone's attention.

Weichen said: "The competition is underway, let's just pay a little attention, and now we still have a regular project to carry out in the foundation building conference, that is, the challenge competition of the backbone disciples of each sect."

Although the Imperial Family Cultivation Alliance stipulates that there can be no large-scale wars between internal members, it is inevitable that there will be some unhappiness and friction in the development of various sects, and the Foundation Building Conference is a place to resolve grievances.

We provide a place for everyone to solve problems, but we do not allow life and death to fight, so as not to destroy the unity within the alliance, and there can only be one challenge between the two sects, no matter what the outcome of the challenge, the grievances between the two sects will be written off.

The conference only accepts the challenge of monks of the same level above the foundation building period and below the transformation period, and skipping the challenge is not allowed, and the competition method and time are not limited, and the challenge is decided by both parties.

The rules are very simple, and I would like to reiterate that the main purpose of the challenge is to resolve conflicts, so please take on the competition with the right mindset! ”

The martial idiot of the Xuanji faction immediately jumped up from the audience, and his sturdy body fell heavily in the middle of the competition platform, stirring up a lot of dust on the stage, making the entire competition platform shake a few times.

The martial idiot stretched out his hand and pointed at Yan Bingyu in the audience and said, "Xuanji sent the martial idiot to challenge Yan Bingyu of the Heavenly Dao Sect!"
