Tang Youan said leisurely: "I don't know how many years this statue has existed, and it is rumored to be the handiwork of the patriarch of the founding school. ”

"Oh, You'an actually knows the origin of this stone statue?" Ding Xiaoshan, who usually doesn't talk much, inquired with interest.

Tang Youan hurriedly shook his head and said, "Where, where, I'm just hearsay." ”

Yin Siling asked innocently, "Who is the person carved in this stone statue?"

Several people looked at each other, all of them at a loss. I don't know if it's too old, and people have forgotten about this middle-aged man.

Liu Yiwen looked at it a few more times, and said with emotion: "The person carved by this stone statue must have been an earth-shattering figure back then, although it was only a secondary statue, but seeing his pestle and sword standing there has a daunting feeling." ”

Several other people nodded one after another, and even Xue Shuang, who had always been cold, looked deeply impressed by his words.

Yang Qiyin's eyes flashed with a different color, and he said with a smile: "What Senior Brother Liu said is very true, the first time I saw this stone statue, I felt like I was kneeling on the ground. ”

Everyone walked and chatted, but after half a burnt incense, they came to the stone steps of the central observation deck. Qi Xiong stopped and said, "Come on, everyone, we will cheer for you!"

After that, he led Feng Shi and Yin Siling towards the opposite audience. Liu Yiwen and a few others stepped up the steps to the platform, and there were already more than 100 people on it.

Ding Xiaoshan beckoned to a young man in the group of people in front of him and said, "Senior Brother Zhu, it's so early!"

A handsome-looking young man in white in the crowd looked back and said happily, "It turned out to be Senior Brother Ding!

This person stepped forward quickly, and said to a few of them: "You are all from the same door, you are polite!"

After Liu Yiwen waited for the salute in return, Senior Brother Ding introduced to them: "This is Zhu Benjia of Feiyu Peak, Senior Brother Zhu!" and then introduced Liu Yiwen and several others to him. After a few people were polite, Senior Brother Ding chatted with him.

However, after a while, there were gradually more people on this platform, and there were also a lot of disciples from the Yuquan Peak lineage. The last time I saw them in the main hall, they were also a little familiar. Although Senior Brother Ding usually doesn't talk much, he knows a lot of people in the sect, and after a while, seven or eight people have greeted him, and several other people are also familiar with him. What was surprising was that after the third senior sister Xue Shuang, who was as cold as ice, saw a female disciple, she rarely smiled and whispered to the side of the woman. Liu Yiwen met Min Zhu here, and after chatting with him enthusiastically for a few words, he didn't communicate with anyone else. This saved some cold words, and I was happy to talk about Dabi casually with Senior Brother Wen and Senior Sister Ye on the side.

The morning sun shines and the whole square is bathed in golden sunlight. A majestic bell rang, and the whole square fell silent. I don't know when there was a purple-robed middle-aged man in the center of the observation deck, and I only heard him shout: "The sect competition is about to begin, disciples, please be quiet." His voice was small but distinct, and those present immediately fell silent.

Looking at the pavilion on the top floor of the observation deck, there are five elders of the sect sitting in a row, Liu Yiwen looked up and saw only one person, that is, the ancestor of Yuquan Peak Yan who was instructed by the main hall in front of the moon. The others should be the Jindan Stage Ancestors of the rest of the peaks!, but there were three chairs that were empty.

Behind them stood some seniors of the condensation stage, and to the left and right of Master Yan were Master Luochen and another senior of the Yuquan Peak condensation stage who had met him.

Liu Yiwen turned around and asked Senior Brother Wen in a low voice, "Who is this purple-robed senior?"

Senior Brother Wen whispered: "This is the Cai Zhangjiao of the sect!"

It was the first time for Liu Yiwen to see the head of this sect, and he couldn't help but look at it a few times.

Then the bell rang three more times, and Cai Zhangjiao continued: "Today is the five-year competition in my Imperial Sword Villa, and it must not be the first time that some of you have participated. The purpose of this disciple is to motivate the disciples to devote themselves to cultivation, select the elite among the inner disciples, and give them resource support. The development of the sect to this day, it has always adhered to the purpose of eliminating the weak and retaining the strong, so that it has the status of cultivating immortals today. Although cultivating immortals depends on talent and chance, if they don't work diligently, it will be in vain! The process of the previous competitions is carefully designed, with full consideration for fairness and fairness. If you are lucky, this top ten will definitely not have a chance with it. ”

After saying that, he paused, and looked around.

Then he continued: "The first is a three-level test, which examines mentality, actual combat and reaction speed. Only disciples who have passed these three levels are eligible to enter the lottery competition. Okay, the disciples who participated in the competition went to the ring in the middle and waited. The first level of testing is coming soon. ”

Liu Yiwen was a little nervous in his heart, adjusted it slightly, and followed the flow of people to the central ring. At this time, hundreds of futons had been neatly placed in the ring, and they were seated on the futons under the leadership of the deacon's disciples.

At this time, several Jindan period ancestors on the observation deck were chatting together. An old man with a red complexion and long gray hair shook his head and sighed: "There are more than 400 people in this big competition, these little guys are really too anxious! Many of them have just signed up for the late stage of cultivation, and I don't know if they can pass this first hurdle?"

"Senior Brother Wen doesn't have to be like this, I want to come to these juniors just to experience it and weigh themselves up. A middle-aged woman said disappreciatively.

"Senior Sister Wang's words are reasonable, the main medicine of this Ning Yuan Dan is becoming more and more rare. If you miss the best age condensate, even if you succeed, your future cultivation will be greatly affected! No wonder these juniors attach so much importance to Dabi. A middle-aged man in Xuanyi sighed.

The disciples in the ring were already sitting on the futon, and suddenly a light stopped at a height of four or five zhang in the air, and a figure appeared, Liu Yiwen looked intently, it was actually Master Hao. I saw him take out a transparent ball the size of a fist and said in a deep voice: "Disciples, listen carefully, this is called the Spirit Gathering Ball in my hand, as the name suggests, its function is to absorb spiritual power. When it absorbs enough psychic power, it is activated and protects the caster from attacks. The assessment of this level is to complete the input of spiritual power under various interferences. ”

Then he threw a blue jade gourd into the air, and the object rose to more than three feet in the wind. The mouth of the gourd fell downward, and hundreds of crystal balls flew out, and they came to the place in front of these participating disciples like a trick.

Liu Yiwen looked at the sphere in front of him, and there were some runes looming on the surface of the ball, and the whole body was as crystal clear as glass. He had just watched for a while, and several pillars of multicolored light erupted from around the ring and converged at a height of more than ten feet above his head, and in a moment, a hemispherical light mask enveloped the entire ring. At the moment when the light mask was formed, there was a sudden silence in Liu Yiwen's ears, and the bustling sound outside suddenly stopped.
