Celestial Empire Chapter 19 Choosing the Gate

This test for the new disciples has finally come to an end. However, this final result is really beyond the expectations of too many people.

Among them, what surprised most people was not that the old disciple actually lost to the new disciple in this confrontation, but that the situation that should have ended in both defeats was completely changed due to Li Zhiming's sudden sneak attack.

No one expected that at that juncture, this young new disciple would make such a decisive move and knock the injured He Zhang unconscious.

Although his behavior seems a bit shameless in the eyes of many old disciples, if you look at it from another angle, they have to admit that this little junior disciple Li Zhiming is really a bit clever......

......

On the wide square, the stone tower used as a place of trial was transformed into a flat stone platform again after Li Zhiming absorbed the energy from the last lock source stone. However, this time, the color of the stone platform floor has been replaced with a dazzling golden color.

And to be able to have such a great magical power is naturally the masterpiece of the pastor elder who is in charge of this test.

The final outcome of this test was indeed somewhat unexpected by the pastor. The battle between He Zhang and Blood Yeyan was almost impeccable in his eyes, because the two of them did their best, although in the end it was just a result of losing both, but this was enough to show that the disciples who entered their Zen Source Temple, whether new or old, were not idle people, they were all malleable talents.

As for Li Zhiming, although his strength is not as good as the first two, his overall performance, especially his ability to adapt, even as an elder, has to be praised from the bottom of his heart. Not to mention anything else, just that last hand, it's really beautiful.

......

After the test was over, the old disciples who were originally in charge of intercepting each went back dejected. Such a result not only disappointed them, but also made them feel unwilling. After all, they were worried about capsizing in the gutter at the beginning, but now this result shows that there is no need for them to capsize in the gutter, and this new batch of disciples can still overturn them. It is conceivable that perhaps these old disciples will have to keep their heads down when they see these new disciples in the future......

And the new disciple won the victory and returned to the square. And their faces were full of excitement that could not be concealed, and they were very happy to be able to defeat their senior brothers in this first battle. But at the same time, they also understand that the biggest credit for being able to win this competition is still the two of Blood Yeyan and Li Zhiming.

If these two people did not charge forward and sweep away the biggest obstacle in this battle, then the final victory would be the side of the old disciple. Because if it weren't for these two, their remaining new disciples, even Gu Zhanshan and Qin Long, who had a restless reputation before, would not have the possibility of defeating them when facing that He Zhang.

An existence in the Source Realm was not something that these new disciples could handle. But fortunately, among their new disciples, there are two hidden supreme Tianjiao, Blood Yeyan and Li Zhiming. Facing these two, Mo said that they, even the vast majority of the disciples in the hall, looked a little bleak.

......

At the elder's table, the pastor slowly got up, he looked at the more than three hundred new disciples on the stone platform, and said with a kind smile: "Yes, you all performed very well in this test. After a pause, he looked at where Xiang Xueyeyan and Li Zhiming were standing, and said, "You two are the proud sons of heaven who are unique in ten thousand. In this test, the new disciple was able to win the victory, and you two contributed a lot, especially you......" Elder Mu pointed out, since he was bloody and Yeyan, he said: "With the strength of the Source Base Nine Forgings, you can fight with the existence of the Source Realm One Heavy Heaven and lose both. I have to say, it's really amazing. According to your talent, if you want to come to the position of the Great Heavenly Sage of my Zen Source Temple, you will change hands in a few days. My Mu Lan Chongping has read countless Tianjiao in his life, but like you, it is the first time I have seen it, and the old man will not hide it, the old man asks you, are you willing to enter the old man's door?"

was praised by the patriarch like this, but the blood Yeyan did not get carried away at all. In the face of the invitation of the pastor, he seemed a little hesitant, which seemed to others to be extremely incredible. You must know that among the eight gates of this Zen Source Temple, the three gates in charge of the Elder Mu are the strongest side. There, not only are the cultivation resources stronger than the other five sects, but even the cultivation environment is much better than the other five sects. More importantly, there are only twelve Holy Sources in the temple, and there are six of them, all of whom are from the three sects under the control of the Elder Pastor, so if many disciples are allowed to choose, they will first choose the three sects that the Elder Pastor's is in charge of. But the appearance of this bloody night is not only indifferent, but also looks like there is no interest at all.

And under the gaze of everyone, the bloody Yeyan spoke: "It is a blessing for the disciple that the elder can deign to invite him. However, the disciple does not want to make decisions at will. In my opinion, he is more suitable to enter the elder's door, Li Zhiming's junior brother, you say yes. Blood Yeyan looked at Li Zhiming on the side with a smile and quipped.

Li Zhiming secretly felt bad when he set his eyes on him, and he was just about to speak, but the pastor suddenly said, "You little guy is not bad. The performance of this test was also very good, and it was worthy of the people named by the hall master to focus on taking care of. Originally, the upper echelons of the temple had decided to cultivate you as a Holy Source. As soon as Elder Mu's words came out, they caused a commotion among the disciples in the square.

"It's just that the Holy Source of my Zen Source Temple, after all, it's not something that can be done if you want to. If you want to sit in this position, your own strength is the most important thing. Originally, according to your performance in this test, you were one step closer to the position of the Holy Source, this is because originally, among the many new disciples, you also have that potential. But for now, there's one more, so don't you mind. ”

Li Zhiming shook his head and said honestly: "The elder is serious. The disciple also believes that a high-ranking position should be held by a powerful person. Otherwise, they will not be able to take on the responsibilities of that position, and they will not only waste the resources of the temple, but also add a joke and a stain to the temple. A disciple is a self-aware person who knows that he just needs to do what he has to do. As the saying goes, if you drink wine one at a time, you have to walk step by step? If you are in a hurry, it will be self-defeating, right?"

Li Zhiming's sharp words made Elder Mu speechless for a while. The little guy knows a lot about feelings.

"That's exactly what the little guy said. Of course, if you are willing to join my sect, the old man can guarantee that with your talent, the Twelve Saint Sources will definitely have your seat. So would you like to join my door?" In the heart of Elder Mu, Blood Yeyan is the kind of Tianjiao who is unattainable, but Li Zhiming is also not bad, such a character, although the strength is still weak, but if he grows up in the future, he will still be a giant, and he should enjoy the reputation of the dragon and phoenix among the people.

Scratching his head, Li Zhiming said embarrassedly: "Thanks to the elders." It's just that Brother Yeyan and I have the same smell, and I just want to choose the best one for me. Didn't you say that there are eight doors in the temple, and I also implore the elders to introduce the other five gates, so that the disciples can make the right choice and choose the right place......"

The two disciples who he liked very much actually refused his invitation, which made Elder Mu feel a little uncomfortable. But as an elder, he still has the generosity he should have, so he nodded, looked at the disciples, and began to introduce: "When you first arrived, before you came here, you must have only understood that my Zen Source Holy Temple is one of the nine great Wuyuan Holy Mansions on the continent today. But to be exact, my Zen Source Temple is divided into eight gates. They are the Heavenly Gate, the Xuanyang Gate, and the Five Pole Gates in charge of the old man, as well as the Chu Gate of Elder Chu, the Spirit Gate of Elder Qingsong, the Fu Gate of Elder Jiang, and the puppet gate of Elder Zhou......" After the names of the first three doors were reported, every time the pastor introduced a door, an elder would stand up at the elder's table to signal.

And after reporting the word puppet, Elder Mu stopped speaking, but everyone immediately noticed that something was wrong, because it seemed that Elder Mu only reported the names of the seven gates, so a new disciple asked, "That elder, it seems that there is another one, right?"

Everyone's eyes were focused, but they saw that Elder Mu's face looked a little unnatural, but in the end, Elder Mu, who had an unnatural complexion, still said, "There is another door, which is the Guanmen." There are no elders in this sect, and since its inception, there have only been four disciples......"

"Four disciples?"

As soon as these words came out, they immediately caused a burst of exclamations from the new disciples. They looked at each other, obviously not understanding at all why there were only four disciples in this so-called Guanmen, and they knew that the number of disciples in the other seven sects was at least hundreds or more. And since the establishment of this gate, there have only been four disciples in total, which is too strange.

"Hehe, don't look at the Guanmen, there are only four disciples in total. But the Great Heavenly Sage of my Zen Source Temple has three sessions, all of which came from this door, including the current one. Not long ago, the four Holy Sources under Elder Mu also fought with this year's Great Heavenly Sage, and the final result was that the four of them joined forces, and none of them could take a single move of the Great Heavenly Sage. While the new disciples were puzzled, Elder Chu's voice suddenly interjected, and the words he spit out made them all dumbfounded.

The so-called Great Heavenly Sage is a title set up by the Zenyuan Temple for disciples. It's just that the holder of this title is undoubtedly the most powerful one among the disciples of a generation.

And among all the disciples of this generation, the strongest on the surface is none other than the twelve Saint Sources. Their strength is at least above the Six Heavens of the Source Realm. And the top ones must be more than the strength of the Sixth Heaven. However, there is still a certain gap between these people and that Great Heavenly Sage. Therefore, it is conceivable how heavy the weight of this Great Heavenly Saint title is......

And such a person, three times in a row, are all from this view. Even the most stupid people understand that this view must have its own uniqueness.

"Hmph, Guanmen is indeed extraordinary, but are there still fewer Tianjiao who are buried in that Zen Guantian every year?" was poked by Elder Chu's words, and Elder Mu couldn't help but snort coldly. And the words he said also made the new disciples unclear.

"Elder Mu, what is that Zen Guantian?" Li Zhiming below, when he heard the three words of Zen Guantian, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he asked.

Frowning, the patriarch seemed a little unhappy, and he said, "What else can it be, a place that eats people and doesn't spit out bones, it can be regarded as a forbidden place for our temple." Over the years, I don't know how many Tianjiao like you are because they are too proud, thinking that they can enter the meditation heaven, but as a result, there is no one in a hundred. ”

"And what about the others, they are all trapped?" Li Zhiming asked embarrassedly.

"All dead. In an indifferent tone, the pastor suddenly looked at him and Blood Yeyan with a sharp look in his eyes, and warned: "I advise you two not to be hot-headed to learn from those previous experiences. Today, even if you choose a few other courses, the old man has no opinion. But only looking at the door, no. His tone was full of firmness, as if he had directly decided the next path of Li Zhiming and Xueyeyan.

"Hey, don't listen to this old man's nonsense. Although Zen Guantian is extremely dangerous, there are countless creations and opportunities in it, as long as he can survive, not only can he be proud of all his peers, but he can also take this step to ascend to the sky and reach a state that is difficult for ordinary people to achieve......" However, Elder Chu seemed to be deliberately targeting Elder Mu, and as soon as the latter's words fell, he interjected without giving any face.

"It's lightweight, although the opportunity is abundant, but you have to have a life to enjoy. Elder Chu has ever remembered that over the years, half of the Holy Source Cultivators cultivated in my temple have entered the Zen Meditation Heaven, and so far, if the old man remembers correctly, he has also sent more than thirty people in, but in the end, it is as strong as them, and only one can get out. Do you think that the battle of the Sages is imminent, and we still have that time to sacrifice these Tianjiao in vain?"

Elder Mu's reason was quite sufficient, and under normal circumstances, it was almost impossible to refute it, but this time, Elder Na Chu used this to retort: "Elder Mu still remembers that the Holy War is imminent. A great heavenly saint, looking at my Zen Source Temple, is certainly invincible. But if it was placed in the battle of the Sages, it would be nothing. Do you think that those people in the Xiling Palace, the Eastern Youfu Mansion, and the Northern Puppet Sect are all made of tofu? I don't believe it, just one Great Heavenly Saint in my temple can overwhelm the others?"

At the end of the words, Elder Chu deliberately lowered his voice and said, "What's more, you don't have to forget, this Sage Battle is ultimately related to the main battle. You should know what that means. The hall master has been eyeing this for many years, and if he misses it again in the future, I am afraid that my Zen Source Temple will have no chance to turn over, and it will always be inferior in the future. I guess you and I don't want to accept that kind of result. His words were completely from a higher level to look at the problem, and it really took over the great righteousness, even Elder Mu didn't dare to refute it easily for a while, but in the end, Elder Mu still said: "Although the two are related, you and I are both clear, and when it comes to that level of fighting, even you and I can't play a big role, let alone these disciples?"

Elder Chu replied unrelentingly: "Although the reason is this reason, it is also a chance. If it can be obtained by my Zen Source Temple, it can also help the hall master. ”

"If you sacrifice two Tianjiao who can ascend to the great realm in the future in vain for something uncertain, such a price, even if you think of it, the hall master will not easily agree. "Compared to Elder Chu's radicalism, Elder Mu is more conservative.

"Opening your mouth and closing your mouth is a sacrifice, if the people in my Zen Source Temple are as timid as Elder Mu, how can the cultivated disciples become great weapons?" Elder Chu didn't know why, and suddenly said angrily.

"Presumptuous, do you really think that Zen Guantian is a good place, and you can let these hairy boys come and go at will? If it is damaged again this time, this responsibility is borne by you, Elder Chu?"

"Alas... Don't quarrel, what kind of system do you two have become like this?" Just when the two elders of Mu Chu were arguing and almost didn't make a move, on the side, an old man spoke out to persuade and make peace. This old man's name is Zhang Lao, in terms of his seniority, he may be more qualified than today's hall masters, although his strength is lacking, but if he speaks, even if it is Elder Mu and Elder Chu, they will give him a face.

"Then according to Elder Zhang, what should I do?" Turning to face Elder Zhang, Elder Mu slowed down his tone and asked gently.

The old man's eyes lowered, as if he pondered for a moment, and after half a sound, a hoarse voice came out, saying: "That meditation on the heavens is indeed an unkind place, and this is clear. Otherwise, there would not be only four disciples of my Zen Source Temple. After a pause, his eyes suddenly looked at Blood Yeyan and Li Zhiming, and Zhang Lao continued: "These two little guys are very good. If you enter the meditation heaven, you may not be able to create new miracles. But it's still too early. According to the old man's opinion, they can be allowed to further their studies at the Guanmen, and when the strength of both reaches the Five Heavens of the Source Realm, they can be allowed to enter the Zen Guantian. I don't know the old man's method, but the old man thinks it is feasible?"

"But ......" Elder Pastor stopped talking, and this method is indeed the most feasible now.

And as if he understood Elder Mu's hesitant mentality, Elder Zhang laughed and said, "Don't be entangled, if you don't cut jade, you won't be successful." Moreover, no matter how much we are arguing here, the key depends on what the two disciples think about it. As soon as these words came out, all eyes refocused on the two of them, Blood Yeyan and Li Zhiming. In this regard, Xue Yeyan is still in such a posture of not being surprised, while Li Zhiming is a little distressed, and secretly sighs in his heart that his feelings are too good, and he can't see a good thing.

"What do you two say?" the pastor asked, casting his gaze.

Bloody Yeyan didn't answer, and Li Zhiming asked with a confused expression: "Dare to ask the old man, what is the Sage War?"

Standing aside just now, when I saw Mu Chu and the two elders opening their mouths and closing their mouths, what kind of meditation is it, the sage battle, Li Zhiming was puzzled by this. At present, it is not easy to have the opportunity to speak by yourself, so it is natural to humbly seek advice.

In this regard, there are also many new disciples who are also deeply curious.

"That was the battle of the top disciples of the Nine Great Martial Source Holy Mansions, to put it simply, if you want to be qualified to participate in the battle, you must at least become the Holy Source of my Temple. Mu Lao's words made it clear, so that the new disciples, including Li Zhiming, immediately understood.

"Is it just a simple battle? What is the main battle of the Ten Thousand Continents?" Li Zhiming could hear the conversation between the two elders of Mu and Chu before, and his curiosity about the main battle of the Ten Thousand Continents they mentioned was much stronger than that of the others. And with his intelligence, how could he not wonder, if there was no plan, the top disciples of the Nine Great Martial Source Holy Mansions would be necessary to fight? If it was just for the sake of competing and seeing which of the disciples cultivated by the Holy Mansion was stronger, I am afraid that it would not have much credibility......

Stunned, Elder Mu smacked his lips, pondered for a while, and said, "I shouldn't have told you this in advance. But there is not much time left until the battle of the Sage. I'll let you know in advance about some things. ”

"The so-called battle for the main battle of ten thousand continents, to put it simply, is to choose a new continent master for a continent. And my Heavenly Empire Continent, the position of the lord of the continent, is now the seat of Bai Xiling, the palace master of the Xiling Palace. And with the help of their identity as the lord of the continent, their Xiling Palace, for a hundred years, has occupied almost three-tenths of the resources of the entire Celestial Empire Continent. And it was also by virtue of this that the position of the head of the Nine Great Martial Source Holy Mansions today was also won by their Xiling Palace. Elder Mu said with an unnatural expression: "In terms of saying that the ambition of others and the destruction of their own prestige, it is that this generation of disciples of our Zen Source Temple is far inferior to their Xiling Palace. Because the resources you can use are far less powerful than the disciples of Xiling Palace. Therefore, you must be clear that when cultivating source energy, your own talent is important, but the necessary resources are indispensable at all. That old man has said the truth of vomiting quickly, I think you have all heard it and understood it. ”

When the disciples heard this, they deeply agreed. Not to mention the disciples of the Holy Mansion, just between them, those who have more resources and those who have less resources, the result is extremely obvious.

"And the main battle of the Ten Thousand Lands, if nothing else, will be held once every hundred years. This is a rule, and as for who set this rule, with your current strength, you are not qualified to know. The only thing you need to know is that the hall master of my Zen Source Temple has been planning for many years, and if it can be done, you will be able to enjoy the rest of the blessings in the future and enjoy the blessings of great creation. Of course, the premise is that you also have to do a little bit for this. And the key to contributing is to seize an energy for the hall master in the battle of the Sage. This kind of energy is called the Heavenly Qi ......"

The disciples realized that this was the case.

......

"I see. Then, where is that Zen Guantian? Is it really that dangerous?" After understanding the general situation, Li Zhiming wanted to continue to understand, what kind of cave heaven treasure is the Zen Guantian that has always been linked to the word danger in the mouths of Mu Chu and the two elders?

"It's not just dangerous, for you, it's a life of death. Over the years, there have been more than 30 disciples in front of and behind my temple who have petitioned to enter the meditation gate and enter the meditation heaven, but in the end, only one person can come out of there, that is, the current Great Heavenly Sage. And these people, when they entered the Zen Meditation Heaven, their strength was above the Seven Heavens of the Source Realm. But even so, they couldn't get out of there in the end, alas, ...... "Elder Mu regretted that if these people hadn't entered the Zen Meditation Heaven, then now, the number of top disciples in their Zen Source Temple could be tripled.

"Then why don't you rescue them?" Li Zhiming wondered, if the so-called Zen Guantian was just a place to temper people, then if the elders had the heart to save them, it should not be too difficult to do.

"Save?" Asked by Li Zhiming, Elder Mu shook his head and smiled bitterly: "If it can be saved, there is no need for my Zen Source Temple to go to great lengths to build these famous halls, and even the hall master himself does not have to compete for the position of the lord of the continent." It is precisely because of that heaven and earth that I can't wait to enter, so I can only send you disciples whose strength is below the source domain in. However, due to the high lethality rate inside, that place can also be called the forbidden place of my Zen Source Temple, not to mention ordinary disciples, even if they are Holy Source people, we don't dare to send them in easily. First, the risk is high, and second, the Sage War is coming, and the old man doesn't want any more losses in top combat power. As for the Guanmen, only disciples who have successfully walked out of meditation and contemplation can enter. Therefore, on the bright side, there are only seven sects that my Zen Source Temple can accommodate you to choose. ”

Nodding suddenly in understanding, under Elder Mu's words, Li Zhiming finally had a general understanding of the Zenyuan Temple. And when he learned that the condition for entering the Guanmen was that he needed to pass through the extremely dangerous Zen Guantian, although he was not intimidated, he still said: "The disciple dares to ask, if you break through the Zen Guantian, what kind of benefits will you get after entering the Guanmen?"

He glanced at Li Zhiming inexplicably, and Elder Mu replied, "If you break through that meditation and enter the gate." The advantage is that not only can I be canonized as the Great Heavenly Saint of my temple. The temple can also provide a Golden Source Mansion, with golden-quality source qi for it to use as a place for cultivation. In addition, you can also receive 12 million source coins and a variety of treasures every year. In short, it's something you've never seen before......"

"This ......" The little mouth opened slightly, and the stunned expression on Li Zhiming's face at this moment made people look so funny. Twelve million source coins, this huge amount alone made Li Zhiming feel that the treatment of this great heavenly saint was simply inhumane. Because such a number of source coins, if they were placed outside, would at least be the income of an ordinary force for a whole year. But in the Zen Source Temple, it was just a one-year reward for one of the top disciples. It can also be seen from this that the financial resources of the Zenyuan Temple are not ordinarily abundant.

"Does that disciple have a chance to enter that gate?" Although it was explained that the elder in front of him would never agree, Li Zhiming still asked cheekily. In his opinion, if he can have an income of 12 million yuan coins a year, then he can really buy anything he sees. More importantly, in his heart, there is still a wish to be fulfilled, and this twelve million source coins is enough for him to achieve this wish, so whether it can be achieved or not, he wants to try his best.

His face shook slightly unnaturally, and Elder Mu looked at Li Zhiming with disdain and said, "The old man is not bluffing you, with your current strength, if you go in, you will have to become bone slag without five breaths." ”

After being despised for a sentence, Li Zhiming said embarrassedly: "The disciple will ask casually." I don't know what level of strength a disciple needs to reach before he can enter that meditation heaven?"

Seeing that this little guy was really persevering, and he looked like he couldn't enter the gate, Elder Mu said helplessly: "At least after you have the strength to become the Holy Source of my Temple." ”

"The Seven Heavens of the Source Realm?" Li Zhi did not know his fate, according to what the elders had just talked about, those who wanted to become the Holy Source of the Zen Source Temple should reach the six heavens of the Source Realm. And that, it seems, is only the most basic condition......

Nodding with a smile, the old man said, "So before that, you still obediently choose the three or the other doors I am in charge of." How, what's the plan?"

Li Zhiming fell silent, and after a few breaths, he looked up at Elder Mu with a hint of apprehension, and said, "That... Elder, can you choose a disciple?"
