Chapter 20: Life and Death!
Three days passed, and in the valley of the northern land of the Cloud Seal Sect, there was a huge battle platform in the center of the valley, and the light of the surrounding rune array flowed, enveloping the entire battle platform.
The stone walls on both sides of the valley have two wide wooden corridors, the corridors are covered with gold lacquer, and the edges are carved with reliefs of dragons and phoenixes flying, and many sect elders and stewards sit cross-legged and overlook the valley.
Today is the first time in the past that a competition has been held for miscellaneous disciples to be promoted to outer disciples. Therefore, most of the disciples in the sect almost came here, and Mu Bai was also waiting quietly.
Below the valley, at this time, there were thousands of disciples gathered, miscellaneous servants and outer gates, and the inner disciples were clearly dressed.
"Look! That's Senior Sister Mu Wan, I didn't expect her to come too. ”
"Core disciples, it's rare to see them on weekdays. ”
"I heard that Senior Sister Mu Wan's cultivation has reached the ninth layer of the Great Perfection, and I heard that she is accumulating, and she is just one foot away from the door, and she can step into the spirit building at any time. ”
"Soul building, I have no regrets about being able to build spirits in my life. ”
"That's ......"
"Senior Brother Tang Lin is also here, Senior Brother Tang Lin is Senior Sister Mu Wan's suitor, one of the three major seeds in the sect, and he has cultivated to the third layer of spiritual building. ”
When Mu Bai heard this, he also turned his eyes to see a beautiful woman in white flying in the middle of the air in the distance, followed by seven or eight male disciples, surrounded by stars and moons, and that Tang Lin stepped on a one-person jade Ruyi, Ruyi's slight white light flowed, and Mu Wan flew side by side.
Looking at Mu Wan and Tang Lin, Mu Bai was a little envious, he was still working hard towards the outer disciples, but everyone was the core, the seed disciple, and a seed disciple of any sect represented the hope of the sect in the future. It is expected to advance to Jindan and achieve the position of the supreme sect.
Just when everyone was talking, a huge black Peng bird flew in the distance of the sky, and a middle-aged man in a black robe sat cross-legged on the Peng bird's body, with a cold expression, and flew down in the middle of the corridor on the side of the valley.
When all the disciples in the valley, including Mu Bai, Tang Lin and Mu Wan, saw this person, they hurriedly looked straight, and bowed down one after another: "Sect Master!" This person is the head of the Cloud Yin Sect, Zhong Tianchun.
Seeing everyone saluting, Zhong Tianchun nodded slightly and spoke indifferently.
"This trial of the promotion of miscellaneous servants to the outer sect is also the first time in the history of the sect, this time it is an attempt to promote the top twenty disciples. ”
"The previous monthly system was abolished, and it will be held at the end of each year from now on, and fifty people will be selected each time. ”
"This trial will be held in the Demon Refining Forest. ”
"In the first round, take the demon soul spirit, and after a week, the person with a maximum of forty people wins. ”
"In the second round, back here, the battle platform will face off in pairs, and the top 20 will be promoted to the outer gate. ”
"The first is directly promoted to the inner door, and the first every year after that, it is the same. ”
Seeing that everyone in the valley was listening quietly, Zhong Tianchun paused slightly, and his tone turned a little cold.
"All the disciples in the Demon Refining Forest can use any means to seize the spirit of other people's demon souls. ”
"Whether it's the Demon Refining Forest or the Battle Arena Duel, life and death don't matter!"
"Those who lose in the second round can shout to admit defeat, and after admitting defeat, they will be protected by their own formation. ”
"My generation of monks, when you go against the sky and cultivate the road for a long time, you need to put life and death aside in order to attain the Great Dao. At the end, Zhong Tianchun's expression was solemn.
Hearing that the master finished talking about the trial rules, everyone in the valley was in an uproar.
"The first is actually to promote the inner disciple, and it is like this every year. ”
"Regardless of the life and death of the Demon Refining Forest, it shows that participating in this trial will be tragic to the extreme. ”
"In previous years, the sect was relatively peaceful, why is this year so bloody?"
"I don't know, maybe something big is going to happen. ”
Listening to the sound of discussion below the valley, Zhong Tianchun snorted, and the voice spread throughout the entire valley, straight into the minds of all the disciples, and when the voice was silent, Zhong Tianchun continued to speak: "After a quarter of an hour, go to the Demon Refining Forest through the teleportation array in the valley, and a week later, teleport back through the teleportation array for the second round." Before the time comes, those who come back early will be deemed to have given up!"
Listening to what Zhong Tianchun said, Mu Bai frowned a little, this trial rule was beyond his expectations, and he knew that the Demon Refining Forest was a place where the disciples in the sect used to hunt demon beasts and take demon beast materials for refining. Moreover, the forest is not in the sect, and you need to teleport to get there.
There are also various spiritual herbs and elixirs in the demon refining forest, and the collection can also be used for alchemy, in the middle of the forest, not to mention these miscellaneous disciples, even if the inner disciples enter it, there is a possibility of death.
And the demon soul spirit is also extremely difficult to obtain, not every demon beast has it, but only the demon beast that attracts more than four layers of spirits, and the demon soul is condensed, it will be born.
The only advantage of the monk is that he can use magic weapons, sigils, or join the rest of his disciples to hunt demons.
And it is impossible to have a disciple in advance, before this trial, hide the demon soul spirit, and directly wait for the end of the trial to hand it in.
First, no disciple knew in advance that he would go to the Demon Refining Forest to retrieve the demon soul essence this time.
The second is that every time a disciple comes back from there, there will be a special magic weapon in the sect to detect whether the storage bag is hidden in it, and if there is, the sect will recover it with the contribution value.
Thinking of this, Mu Bai was a little worried, this matter was a little unexpected by him and Zhao Sanquan, "Originally, I thought that this trial was just a battle platform competition, and if you smash people with runes, you should be able to pass." Unexpectedly, this is actually the second round, and the first round is actually going to enter the Demon Refining Forest. At this time in the trial, do you give up?" Thinking of this, Mu Bai hesitated, this matter is dangerous, and it is likely that he will die in the trial.
When competing, even if you are defeated, you can still admit defeat, but the demon refining forest is different, some demon beasts are in groups, and it is also very likely that some high-level demon beasts run out of the center of the forest, and when they encounter those high-level demon beasts, it is very likely that it will be a dead end, and this matter has happened more than once.
He cultivated to the third level of the spirit, even if he added those talismans that Zhao Sanquan bought for him, as well as the magic weapons of the inner disciples a hundred years ago, he might not be able to win.
Moreover, Mu Bai guessed that under the rule of life and death, in this trial, there must be familiar disciples to snipe and kill the rest of the disciples and plunder.
In Ke Mubai's mind, he thought of what the master had just said, "My generation of monks, when you go against the sky, you need to put life and death aside in order to attain the Great Dao." ”
"It's not my style to be so timid and scared, it's not my style to be rich and dangerous, it's not extravagant to become the first to be promoted to the inner door, I just want to enter the top twenty and become an outer disciple. Thinking of this, Mu Bai's heart became firm, and he no longer hesitated, turning around and walking towards the huge teleportation array in the valley.
