Chapter 1: The hustle and bustle of the old mountain town
The old mountain city is known as the first city of the human race.
However, if you want to talk about the origin of the old mountain city, you must mention Xuanyuan Sect.
Xuanyuan Sect, as the first major sect in recorded human history, does not know when it was established, only that it has always existed on an old mountain that does not know its height and its width.
And the old mountain city sits at the foot of the old mountain.
The old mountain city has a long history, it was originally a place for mortals to go to the old mountain to find a pilgrimage to Xuanyuan Sect to rest, for thousands of years, over time, it has become a city, attracting countless human races to multiply here.
Before the formation of the old mountain town, it could be counted as an old town or something, but it is said that a long time ago, the residents who had rested overnight found that a huge city had risen overnight, countless times larger than the original city, backed by the old mountain, and fell majestically.
The whole city is surrounded by bluestone, the city gate at the front end is as high as a hundred zhang, the iron painting silver hook, the three big characters of the dragon flying and the phoenix dancing "old mountain city" are hung on the city gate tower, the city wall is more than 200 meters wide, and the one placed in the various turrets is the sharp weapon of attacking the city.
There are no other words to describe such a gesture than a miracle, and countless inhabitants of that time fell to their knees to thank God for the gift of this great city.
However, after the miracle, it was fifteen years ago that the prestige of the old mountain city really reached its peak, because the Xuanyuan Sect, who had always been ethereal, announced to the world that he wanted to create an academy in the old mountain city, and it was for Xuanyuan Academy!
Any student who successfully graduates from Xuanyuan Academy in three years will be able to enter the Xuanyuan Sect and become a disciple of the Xuanyuan Sect after selection.
As soon as this news came out, it immediately detonated the entire Terran frenzy, and even several other races around the Terran territory had a trace of shock.
Xuanyuan Sect, as a sect that existed since the establishment of the human race, still exists after many turbulences, and naturally the background is unfathomable, but Xuanyuan Sect has always closed the mountain gate and existed outside the world, and ordinary people are not allowed to see it.
If you want to say that in the history of the human race, the prestige of Xuanyuan Sect is comparable, and I am afraid that only the Blackwater Kingdom is the Empire.
The Blackwater Kingdom is also the only force in the history of the Terran race, and several generations of kings have worked hard to rule almost the entire secular world of the Terran race, and even other races around it have been pressed by the Blackwater Kingdom and have retreated many territories.
At its peak, the Black Water Kingdom covered tens of thousands of kilometers in the imperial city alone, and there were many elite soldiers, and it was said that the King of Blackwater and the National Teacher were both masters of breaking through the extreme realm of the Heavenly Wall, and the fame of Princess Hongni spread throughout the entire human race.
It's a pity that at the peak of the Blackwater Kingdom, for some reason, in one day, the entire imperial city of the kingdom turned into a poisonous swamp, and the kingdom's power fell apart in an instant, and then gradually formed the five great families of the human race.
If the Black Water Kingdom was a well-deserved emperor in the human secular realm at that time, then the Xuanyuan Sect was a transcendent existence above the mundane.
Now that Xuanyuan Sect wants to establish an academy in the secular world, it is naturally a blessing from heaven.
Countless secular forces and even mortals began to flock to the old mountain city, hoping to enter the Xuanyuan Academy, and then survive the so-called three years of life, enter the Xuanyuan Sect, and ascend to the sky in one step.
However, Xuanyuan Academy soon issued a notice that the college enrolls students once every five years, and students must not be more than fifteen years old, and they must also pass the entrance exam.
As soon as such conditions came out, many people were silenced in an instant.
It is said that as soon as the announcement of Xuanyuan Academy came out, the entire old mountain city fell silent, and in the end, the sound of crying spread throughout the entire old mountain city.
Martial artists who practice on weekdays and have always had a tenacious heart, it stands to reason that although they can't enter Xuanyuan Academy due to conditions, they won't cry loudly, but as early as when the academy was built, they claimed that the entire academy had invested 3,000 martial arts and 2,000 exercises, which could meet the needs of all students, and many of the cultivation resources and teachers were sent from the Xuanyuan Sect.
In this era when the law is not spread, a martial artist can fight to the death for a third-order martial art, three thousand martial arts, two thousand exercises, what a temptation.
It's a pity that the fifteen-year-old age limit alone turns most people out, not to mention the entrance exam.
Today is the last day of the fourth enrollment of Xuanyuan College, and it is also the most lively day in the old mountain city.
In the past half a month, the entire old mountain city can be described as full of people and noisy.
Countless Terrans with young sons and young daughters are looking forward to entering Xuanyuan Academy, while more people are just here for the excitement.
It is said that every time Xuanyuan Academy enrolls students, it becomes a celebration day for the human race.
According to the grapevine, every time the academy opens, the turnover of the entire Laoshan City's consumption establishments is comparable to the total income of the past year.
Xuanyuan Academy's enrollment is only five days at a time, and today is the last day.
In the first four days, there were less than 100 students who could meet the admission requirements of the college.
This made many students who had worked hard for a year or more to break down and cry.
At this moment, it was already mid-day, and the huge square at the entrance of Xuanyuan Academy was crowded with dense people.
The huge sun hung over people's heads, looking mercilessly at this group of bitter haha.
At the front of the crowd, at the entrance of the academy, there was a huge hall, and it was impossible to see the inside clearly from the outside, which was the place where the academy masters used the mystical weapons to take the entrance exam.
On the left side of the main hall, there were about a hundred young men and women, divided into five phalanxes, and at the front of each phalanx sat a middle-aged man, who was their teaching.
At the front of each phalanx is a huge sign that says 1st class of the year, 2nd class of the year, and all the way up to the 5th class.
Strangely, there were only five or six people in the fifth-class phalanx that year, which was in stark contrast to the fact that each of the other phalanxes was bustling with twenty or thirty people.
On the right side of the main hall, there is a long procession, and young men and women in their teens are lined up, and there are hundreds of people looking at the situation.
"It's out, it's out, will it be successful?"
A noise sounded, and as the nervous voice fell, a young man of about thirteen or fourteen years old came out of the hall, pale and sweaty, looking at a strong middle-aged man outside the hall, his lips trembled, and he cried out with a "wow" and threw himself into the arms of the strong man.
"I didn't ...... Didn't hit?"
The middle-aged man looked in a trance, looked at the son in his arms, closed his eyes in pain, and a line of tears fell.
The head next to him showed a sympathetic look, they had already understood the situation of the father and son.
The father and son are just cultivating, and they have been preparing for this day for several years, just so that the child can be a little older and have enough grasp, just on the way to Xuanyuan Academy, they walked for a year and a half, but they didn't expect it to be empty in the end.
"Next!"
A young man appeared in the main hall, dressed in a cyan robe, with a bun on his head, neat, and a sign on his chest with the word "Xuanyuan" written on it, which should be a student of Xuanyuan Academy.
On one side of the main hall, a group of young men and women had already lined up, most of them in their teens.
A girl in the forefront, dressed in a green dress, although she was young, her delicate little face had already revealed the appearance of a beauty, and her two black grape-like eyes were inlaid on her round face, and she moved towards the main hall step by step.
She glanced back at a **** not far away, her little face was full of nervousness, and she was about to cry.
"Xiaoyue, you're okay, relax yourself and finish it!" ****'s voice was sweet, but with a hint of sternness.
The little girl saw that she had no support, so she could only turn around and go in by herself with a small mouth.
A few minutes later, the student of the academy who had just come out to read the book came out with the little girl with a smile on his lips.
"Ren Yue, passed, first grade first class!"
As soon as the words fell, the entire crowd erupted in cheers, although they were not their own children, they still cheered when they saw that someone had passed the test of the academy.
"Wow, I didn't expect this little girl to be so powerful, she actually passed the exam, and besides, she is still in the first class, such a talent is too enviable. ”
"Do you know who it is, the Ren family in Wufang City has heard of it, that is the youngest daughter of our Ren family master, you say, can it be worse?"
"Satsuki, come on!"
The **** was also smiling, beckoning to the little girl Ren Yue.
The little girl bit her lip, two tears rolled down from her big eyes, and her long eyelashes hung with crystal droplets, which was pitiful.
Jumped into his mother's arms and began to cry.
"Don't cry, Xiaoyue, you're already a big girl, so many classmates are still waiting for you. **** comforted Ren Yue while rubbing Ren Yue's head.
Ren Yue looked back at the students who passed the exam on the other side, and found that they were all looking at this side curiously, their little faces flushed, and they quickly wiped away their tears with the back of their hands, and glanced at their smiling mothers shyly, before they lowered their heads and walked towards the group of students.
"Next!"
The students who have not yet taken the exam enter the hall one after another, some people are happy and some are worried, and the gains and losses of life are undoubtedly displayed at this moment.
The sun has gradually set in the west, and there are only twenty or thirty students left on the field who have not yet taken the exam, and the enrollment ceremony of Xuanyuan Academy, which is held every five years, is about to end.
