"What is this?"

With the appearance of the black and white disc, the onlookers were at a loss, and they were all guessing in their hearts what kind of rune construction the black and white disc was.

Boom Boom Boom ......

In the monstrous sea of fire, there was a dull explosion, like the rumbling thunder before a thunderstorm.

But soon, some of the elders of the Qiankun Holy Courtyard discovered that from the sixth sound onwards, the burst sound had quietly changed, and it was faintly mixed with the angry roar of the rune spirit beast.

Don't......

They couldn't help but show a hint of horror in their eyes, as Qiankun Saint Elders, they knew that theoretically, this eight-layer ninth rune barrier would definitely not be able to break through for the Blood Refining Realm.

Before, the white-clothed young man Bo Ya had rushed all the way over, although these elders had a glimmer of hope for him, but they knew in their hearts that it was impossible to crack the Blood Refining Realm to crack the ninth seat of the eighth layer.

But now in Xia Mu, they see the real hope, not their own imagination, but really hope to break through.

When the sea of fire dissipated, everyone finally saw the scene on the seventh floor of the Enlightenment Tower, and there was an uproar.

"This turned out ......"

In the field, Xia Mu's body gradually dissipated and was teleported out by the Enlightenment Tower.

However, no one dared to laugh at him at this time, because the moment Xia Mu was teleported out, the volcanic world constructed by the ninth rune barrier disintegrated in an instant, turning into a sky of runes and disappearing.

The ninth rune barrier on the seventh layer was successfully cracked.

It was a lose-lose result, and at the last moment, Xia Mu successfully broke the ninth rune barrier, but also suffered a fatal blow and was teleported back to the central square by the Enlightenment Tower.

In the Enlightenment Tower Trial, the last trialist, Xia Mu, broke through the ninth rune barrier on the seventh layer and stopped at the eighth layer.

Ranked second overall.

Xia Mu felt the space in front of him change, and then appeared in the central square, and the teenagers from various tribes all looked over.

"There!" Xia Mu's eyes swept away, and he quickly determined the location of Di Qing and Gu Feng's two friends, and hurriedly walked over.

"He is Xia Mu!"

"Second overall, I haven't heard of him before, it seems to be from the Southern Wilderness. ”

"It's a pity for this Xia Mu, the difficulty of the rune barrier of the ninth seat of the seventh layer is obviously problematic, and it is definitely not weaker than the ninth block of the eighth layer, but according to the rules of the trial, he can indeed only rank second. ”

Listening to the various discussions around him, Xia Mu smiled and didn't really take the trial ranking to heart.

"Xia, you really scared me, you hid deep enough!" Di Qing, the silver-haired young man, hooked Xia Mu's shoulders and shouted again and again.

"Unfortunately, you should be number one. On the side, Gu Feng shook his head in regret.

"Congratulations, congratulations!"

Other teenagers from the Southern Wilderness also smiled and congratulated, proud of the genius of Xia Mu in the Southern Wilderness.

In the central square of the Qiankun Holy Land, the hundreds of thousands of young men stood up again under the leadership of the Blood Pupil Monk, respectfully waiting for the golden-armored man to speak, all of them were extremely quiet.

"In this trial, you have performed very well this time. The voice of the golden-armored man echoed throughout the central square, and he even praised a few words rarely: "However, only those who are ranked within the top 1,000 are qualified to become the core disciples of my Qiankun Sacred Academy, except for these 1,000 people, everyone else ......."

"Your trip to the Qiankun Sacred Courtyard is over here. The golden-armored man said.

These words suddenly made the young men from various tribes below feel depressed all of a sudden, and they left the tribe and came to the Qiankun Holy Courtyard thousands of miles away, but they were finally eliminated.

"You can choose to leave here and return to the clan now, or you can wait for a while, and the Holy Court will arrange for you to practice in various outer courts, as long as you can cultivate to the realm of the Fetal Palace before the age of twenty, you can also become the core disciple of my Qiankun Holy Academy. The golden-armored man looked around, "Now, the rest of you can leave." ”

Soon, under the unified deployment of hundreds of Blood Pupil Cultivators, all the tribal youths who had not passed the trial left one after another, including the disciples and elders of the Qiankun Holy Courtyard who were watching the battle, and they also left the table one after another.

In the central square, only a thousand teenagers remained.

"First of all, congratulations on your qualification to worship our Qiankun Holy Academy, now if anyone is unwilling to join can speak out, my Qiankun Holy Academy will never be difficult for others. The golden-armored man had a faint smile on his face, which made the hearts of the thousand teenagers skip a beat.

．．．．．．．．

There was silence all around, and no one made a sound.

"Good. The golden-armored man nodded with satisfaction: "From now on, you are the core disciples of my Qiankun Holy Academy, and you have the opportunity to learn the inheritance of the Ancient Holy Dynasty." Alright, now let's start entering the inner mountain gate. The golden-armored man waved his palm.

A group of people left the central square in a mighty manner and walked towards the inner mountain gate of the Qiankun Holy Courtyard.

In the inner mountain gate, there is the Twelve Caves of Dongzhou Heavenly Blessed Land, the real cultivation place of the elders and disciples of the Qiankun Holy Academy, and hundreds of elders are waiting there, who will worship their ancestors with them and perform the initiation ceremony.

The inner mountain gate is grand, and it is a slit formed by an ancient mountain cracked in the middle, which is majestic and solemn.

When you get here, you can really enter the Qiankun Holy Courtyard, which is still vast and boundless, one after another ancient mountains are horizontal, the ancient trees are continuous, there are pavilions and pavilions, and there are cranes flying in the air.

It is like a fairy land on earth, and all the peaks are like this, the sun is shining, the clouds are swirling, and it is full of the atmosphere of paradise.

"It's really a good place to practice, take a breath, and I feel that my cultivation has risen a little bit. Many teenagers exclaimed.

"Well, it's true, I feel that there is a peerless array covering here, absorbing the aura of the four directions. A group of teenagers all showed excitement, cultivating in such a cave blessed land, the progress of cultivation must be extremely fast, and they have an advantage over others.

Before they knew it, they had come to a huge platform, surrounded by mountains, and there was a stone statue on the platform, as big as a mountain, carved from an ancient mountain.

"This is the ancestor of our ancient holy dynasty, and when you enter my Qiankun Holy Courtyard, you must first worship your ancestors. ”

The huge stone statue is majestic and tall, the whole body has a shining treasure light blooming, it is a woman, her eyes are like a pool of clear water, when she looks forward to it, she has an elegant and elegant temperament, which makes people take pictures of it and feel ashamed of it.

"Ancestor worship!"

A group of elders led a thousand young men in a salute, all of whom bowed on their knees and fell to the ground.

"Licheng!" It took three breaths before the elder announced the end of the ceremony.

"Let's go, I'll take you to where you live. An elder walked out in a group, leading thousands of new disciples, towards a mountain range, and in the process kept explaining some rules to them, and solemnly warned them not to go near some forbidden places, those places are guarded by fierce beasts, and they must not be disturbed.

This is a low mountainous area, where a thousand new disciples live, and there are many stone houses, all of which are left by the previous senior brothers and sisters, and they can be chosen at will.

In the next few days, some elders took turns to explain the cultivation path to this group of tribal youths, and it was also an opportunity to show their strength, because after half a month, this group of teenagers had to choose a teacher, and the elders naturally had to show off in front of this group of teenagers, so as to attract truly talented disciples to come to apprentice.

On this day, an old man with crane hair and a childish face appeared in front of the low mountain, his big sleeves fluttering, his feet did not touch the ground, as if riding the wind, fell into a clearing, a group of teenagers had already sat honestly, waiting for the old man to preach.

"I am the elder of the Qiankun Holy Academy, my name is Han Feng, today it is the turn of the old man to preach to you, and listen carefully. ”

"I've seen the Elders. A group of teenagers stood up and saluted.

"You're welcome, just sit down. ”

"Elder, what are you going to tell us today, will you teach us spiritual arts?" a disciple asked.

Elder Han Feng said with a solemn face: "Remember to be impatient in your cultivation, your current cultivation is still some distance away from cultivating spiritual arts, and it is impossible to teach spiritual techniques to you in a short period of time, what I am going to talk about today is simple and simple, and complex and complicated, what is cultivation?"

Hearing this, a group of teenagers showed a dull expression, only Xia Mu looked interested, because he didn't know anything about the cultivation method in this world, and only knew that the initial realm was blood refining.

"What do you think of the vitality of this ancient tree?"

"Lush, vigorous, natural and vibrant. A teenager replied without thinking.

"Wrong, lifeless. Elder Han Feng shook his head and said, "The life of this ancient tree has come to an end, and now it is just returning to the light, and in a few days, it will completely wither and become a rotten tree." ”

As he spoke, Elder Han Feng pointed out, only to see that the skin of the ancient tree gradually spread a layer of water waves, and then turned transparent, so that the young people could clearly see that inside this ancient tree, it had been eaten by aphids and scaled all over its body, and it was gradually decaying.

"What exactly do you ...... trying to say?" a group of teenagers looked suspicious.

Elder Han Feng was very indifferent, and did not answer immediately, but changed his words and continued, "What do you think is the end of cultivation?"

"What can it be, naturally it is to become an immortal!"

"What about after becoming an immortal?" the old man asked calmly.

A group of teenagers were speechless, not knowing how to answer, becoming an immortal was beyond their reach, let alone what would happen after becoming an immortal.

"When an immortal has an end of life, becoming an immortal is not the end of cultivation. Elder Han Feng replied for a group of teenagers.

As soon as the old man said this, Xia Mu's body shook violently, and the fallen Kyushu powerhouse in the ancient city of Penglai also said the same sentence: When immortals also die, is it a coincidence?

"Can you explain ...... clearly, I feel like I'm listening to the Book of Heaven, when an immortal also dies, is this the elder's own perception?" Xia Mu tried his best to calm his mind and asked, wanting to know more information, so as to confirm the conjecture in his heart.

Elder Han Feng sat there, smiled faintly, and said, "I won't talk about these things today, what I want to say is that don't take cultivation too simply, heaven and earth are both positive and negative, yin and yang, life and death. In the same way, our bodies are the same, where you can't see, but the life span is passing bit by bit, so we need to slow down this process through spiritual practice, and even go against the grain to make the life expectancy longer. ”

Seeing the thoughtful expressions on the faces of the group of teenagers, the old man smiled and asked, "Now, do you understand what the end of the cultivation is?"

"It seems that ...... kind of understood. ”

"Okay, you will slowly understand these in the future, now, let me tell you what is the fetal palace, the world is infinite spiritual arts, but any spiritual practice is not from the fetal palace. ”
