Chapter 4 Sword Trial Conference
The Sword Trial Conference is a trial held every ten years for new disciples in the Netherworld Hall on the Black Netherworld Mountain, and this kind of activity is not exclusive to the Netherworld Temple. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
There are not a thousand but eight hundred, and almost seventy or eighty percent of the large and medium-sized sects in the large and medium-sized sects have this kind of activity for new and old disciples, similar to the Netherworld Temple Sword Trial Conference, the purpose of which is to make an assessment and summary of the cultivation of new disciples in the past few years. Among them, the best will naturally be valued and cultivated by the sect. Even if you can't get into the top ten, as long as you practice hard and perform well, you can get a lot of rewards.
Nowadays, the four famous sects of Zhenyangmen, Tianshan Mausoleum, Fulong Island, and Taiyi Gate, plus the three major left-handed side doors of the Yuling Sect, the Gouchen Sect, and the Yuansha Gate, which everyone talks about, are the seven most powerful cultivation sects in the world today, and it can be said that everyone knows and everyone knows.
Although the Netherworld Temple has not entered the seventh rank, it does not mean that its strength is not good. On the contrary, the disciples in this sect are not like those righteous gentlemen, who see the disciples of the Demon Dao as if they see enemies of life and death, roaring to subdue demons and eliminate demons and rush forward to fight without knowing whether they live or die, and unlike those demons in the Demon Dao, who are not human and ghost, they slaughter hundreds of people every day and sacrifice living beings at night. They all act in a free-spirited and self-styled manner, so if there is such a thing as a neutral sect, the Netherworld Temple can be said to be the strongest among them.
Since the Netherworld Temple has such strength, it also attaches great importance to this sword test conference. It can be said that the sword test conference is the most lively and popular event that only comes once in ten years on the Black Styx Mountain.
At this moment, Ye Tianyu stepped on a flying sword glowing with blue light and flew in the sky. The Qinglong Peak, where he lives at his feet, is shrouded in clouds and mist, and only one mountain tip is exposed, which looks so magnificent and ethereal.
Ye Tianyu looked around Qinglong Peak, and the other three Vermilion Bird, Xuanwu, and White Tiger Peaks, with the momentum of the stars and the moon, jointly surrounded the middle of the Absolute God Peak that went straight to the sky, looking like four wrestlers towering into the clouds, guarding the gods in the middle day and night from ancient times to the present, it is really a majestic mountain and river. Coupled with the countless mountain ranges that stretch outward for nearly a thousand miles, it is the entire Black Styx Mountain.
While Ye Tianyu was amazed by this scene, he thought to himself, "The creation of heaven and earth is really a miraculous workmanship, and it can actually give birth to this kind of ancient and modern cave heaven blessed land out of thin air. ”
With a "whoosh", a feminine woman in a white palace dress stepped on a wooden magic weapon that looked like a sword but not a sword, and followed Ye Tianyu when he was flying out of the sky. The white hand patted Ye Tianyu's shoulder and said, "Hey, what do you want?"
When this woman came up from behind, Ye Tianyu noticed her, so he was not very surprised.
"It turned out to be you, Gong Yue, long time no see. Ye Tianyu looked at the woman beside him and smiled, and greeted.
Gong Yue pulled the bun that was blown up next to her ear, and said jokingly: "So you still remember me." I thought you were really so focused on reading the sages that you didn't listen to anything outside the window, and you forgot about us. ”
Ye Tianyu grinned embarrassedly and replied, "How could it be." It's not like I've been busy preparing for the sword trial, and I've been trying to find a few of you a few times. ”
"It still didn't come. Gong Yue interrupted.
"Uh..." Ye Tianyu was speechless, looking at Gong Yue with his mouth half-open, and a pair of bright eyes were looking at him with a joking.
"Poof" both looked at each other and smiled.
Gong Yue was the same disciple that Ye Tianyu knew when he first entered the door, and there were three other people, all of whom were the same disciples who were recruited into the door. Before the new disciples who had just entered the door cultivated to the Linghai Realm, they had to follow the rules of the door and be divided into a small courtyard of four people to live together. And on the four peaks on the Black Styx Mountain, except for the main peak of the Absolute God, each has four paths, and each path has twelve such four-person courtyards. This shows the scale of the Netherworld.
However, once a disciple has cultivated to the Spirit Sea Realm, this disciple is eligible to walk out of the four-person courtyard and choose any of the remaining four peaks as a place to settle down. Of course, as long as you don't violate the door rules, don't choose the forbidden land in the door, whether you repair the house yourself or buy it with money, it doesn't matter if you don't care about it.
As long as the qualifications are not too bad, ordinary disciples with immortal assets can cultivate the Spirit Sea in about two years, and even those with qualifications against the heavens can cultivate the Spirit Sea in less than a year. As a result, most of these small courtyards will not be filled with four people. It's even empty most of the time.
Gong Yue was the first person in their courtyard to cultivate the Spirit Sea, so she was also the first to move out of the small courtyard. Ye Tianyu was the last to move out.
From the time he knew how to cultivate, it took him nearly two years to be tested to be able to cultivate in addition to Linghai, and it took him nearly a year to move out of the small courtyard. Then he spent a sum of money and found a senior brother who was proficient in the art of earth and stone and the art of repairing the house, and built a simple earth and stone hut together. Now that small courtyard must have been empty by now.
Ye Tianyu also wanted to catch up with the old man, but suddenly found that he hadn't seen him for three years, and he didn't know where to start with the beautiful woman beside him. It seemed that he realized that it was not good to look at other girls like this all the time, so he smiled to himself, coughed dryly, and stepped away from looking at her.
Seeing him like this, Gong Yue couldn't help but cover her mouth and smile secretly, and she also coughed dryly and stopped looking at him.
The two were speechless.
Ye Tianyu watched Gong Yue pull the bun that was blown in her ears again, smelling the strange fragrance beside her, and wanted to ask her some topics in the past, but she couldn't remember it for a while.
Ye Tianyu was speechless for a while, and secretly scolded himself, how could he let a woman from the same door make herself look like this today.
Just when Ye Tianyu was looking at the mountain peaks in the distance with his eyes blank, but he was muttering in his heart, Gong Yue suddenly asked, "When I came here just now, I also saw you looking at the Absolute God Peak, what were you thinking?"
"Oh," Ye Tianyu replied, "I haven't overlooked the Black Styx Mountain so far above the ground in several years. It was like just entering the door and being struck by the view. ”
"That's right. No matter what group of new disciples it is, when they first learned to fly the Imperial Treasure, there was no one who was not shocked by the scenery and momentum of this Black Styx Mountain, and there were even more than one or two disciples who were too excited and fell down the mountain because they lost control for a while. Gong Yue replied.
"And those people. Ye Tianyu thought speechlessly. However, usually when a new disciple flies in the sky for the first time, he will be accompanied by a senior brother with advanced cultivation, and he will not worry about losing his life.
"I really don't know what is the mystery of the creation of heaven and earth, and it can be born out of thin air such a magical place. Ye Tianyu couldn't help but sigh.
Listening to Ye Tianyu's words, Gong Yue smiled softly and replied: "If you want to say that our Black Styx Mountain can only be regarded as the most famous scenery in Northern Liangzhou. If you look at the land of Shenzhou, Taihang Mountain, where Taiyi Gate is located, I am afraid it is really the first fairyland in the world. I heard that standing on the top of the main peak of Taiyi Gate at night, looking up at the sky, the stars seemed to blink in front of them, as if they could be picked up by reaching out. I'd love to see it if I have the chance. Gong Yue said eloquently as if she was there.
Ye Tianyu seemed to be disbelieving and said: "You haven't seen it with your own eyes, how can you know that Black Styx Mountain is not as good as Taihang Mountain." ”
Gong Yue pursed the corners of her lips and replied, "I heard what Bian Liang said." You know that he has the same virtue as his master, and he knows better than anyone else what he should know, and he doesn't know what he shouldn't know. ”
"And I heard that our Black Styx Mountain is not derived from heaven and earth, this Absolute God Peak and the other four peaks were all forcibly moved by the ancestors of the Divine Passage Method, only these seemingly infinite mountain ranges around them were born naturally. Therefore, compared with Taihang Mountain, which is really the birth of heaven and earth, the wind, horses and cows are not related to each other, and there is no comparison at all. Gong Yue continued.
Ye Tianyu looked at her in surprise and said, "How do you know?"
Gong Yue said with a serious face: "I listened to what Bian Liang said." ”
Ye Tianyu rolled his eyes speechlessly, as if the words that came out of the mouth of the man named Bian Liang were not credible in his ears.
The two of them flew in the sky for a while, and after a while, they came to the top of the Absolute God Peak. This time, it looked like from the sky above the Absolute God Peak, and countless rays of light flew from all directions like meteors catching up with the moon, and then converged on the Absolute God Peak, like countless gorgeous moths fighting fire, it was not spectacular. And the sword trial meeting was held in the sub-mother platform in the valley under this absolute god peak.
"Let's go down too. Gong Yue said.
"Hmm. Ye Tianyu answered, and then he and Gong Yue leaned over and flew slowly towards the foot of the Absolute God Peak.
When the two of them flew to the foot of the mountain, a seemingly bottomless valley appeared at the foot of the Absolute God Peak.
The two of them did not stop and flew into the valley.
As the two of them descended deeper into the valley, the surroundings became darker and darker. About half a cup of tea, the two of them didn't know how deep they flew, and suddenly their eyes lit up, and a huge stone square with a size of more than ten acres suddenly appeared on the cliff wall, and the blue brick and stone walls were actually artificially piled up. Looking at it again, in addition to this square, there are eight other squares that look the same but are more than half smaller and distributed on the rock walls on both sides. These squares are surrounded by twelve huge stone pillars, which are crowned with a raging fire that illuminates the square in gold.
The largest stone square is the "human" letter platform, where formal meetings of all sizes in the Netherworld Temple are usually held. And the eight squares that are more than half smaller are the eight sub-platforms of "Qian, Zhen, Kan, Gen, Kun, Xun, Li, and Dui", and there are a total of nine squares of all sizes, which are Zimu Terraces.
At this time, Ye Tianyu and Gong Yue looked overhead, and there was only a white slit the thickness of an arm left in the sky. Dense clouds of light flew in through the crack, and then fell towards the plaza below. At this moment, there were nearly a thousand people scattered in groups of three or five people in the square.
The sword trial conference stipulates that before the competition begins, all the disciples must gather on the largest "human" platform, and then wait for the master to announce the start of the meeting. As long as they have been in the beginner for no more than 20 years, and have cultivated the outer volume of the Demon Hall of the Netherworld Temple's Zhendian Law Decisive Netherworld Jade Book to the middle stage of the Spirit Sea Realm and below the Qi Fusion Realm, they are all eligible to participate in the Sword Trial Competition. Therefore, although there were many people in the square, only a very small number of them really came to participate in the sword trial conference. Most people bring their friends and family to watch the game.
Ye Tianyu looked at the dense figures in the square, and he didn't know what he was thinking. Three months ago, he had already cultivated the Netherworld Jade Book to the middle stage of the Spirit Sea Realm, the consummation realm of gathering spirits and qi.
Once the disciples enter the spiritual sea realm, they will open the spiritual sea at their own dantian, and they can feel the aura of heaven and earth, and introduce the aura of heaven and earth into their own cycle, refining the meridian acupuncture points, and finally the essence in the invisible aura of heaven and earth will gather into the spiritual sea and become a part of their own spiritual power. And when entering the middle stage of the spiritual sea, the essence elements in the spiritual sea will gather the spirit into qi, and the amount of spiritual power and the degree of condensation of the cultivator will also vary by thousands of miles. With the further accumulation and condensation of spiritual power, those spiritual powers that exist in a gaseous state will undergo a reborn refining and become a liquid like a small drop of water. At this time, the cultivator stepped into the late stage of the Spirit Sea Realm, condensing the spirit into the realm of liquid. Moreover, the spiritual power and physique of the cultivator are even more incomparable, once they continue to cultivate to the Great Perfection Realm of the Spirit Sea Realm, they can attack the next Great Realm Qi Fusion Realm.
