Chapter 463: Watery Sky and Green Mountains

Shi Mu didn't care much about the opinions of outsiders, and Cai'er had already been stuffed into the spirit beast bag around his waist, otherwise, with his character, he might not be able to help causing trouble again.

He walked through the noisy crowd on his own, and after a while, he came to a place ten feet away from the huge ancient tree in the center of the open space.

Although the surrounding area was crowded with people, there was still a large open space in front of the ancient tree, where a circular high platform was piled up, which seemed to be made of some kind of special wood.

Compared with the surrounding woods, the giant tree in front of him was not too tall, but it was about three or four hundred feet long. It was purple in color, and its trunk was unusually thick. Standing there, it looked like a purple tower, pointing straight to the sky.

On its branches, countless vines poured down like waterfalls, falling straight to the ground.

Seeing the strange growth of the giant tree, Shi Mu's heart moved and activated his spiritual powers.

With the golden light in his eyes, the huge purple tree suddenly seemed to be close at hand, and the original fine lines on the bark became extremely clear, and one could even see the small streams of spiritual power passing through the vines from the tree to the ground. The ground keeps coming together.

Shi Mu saw that in the center of the tree trunk, the spiritual power gathered into a vortex, in which faint spatial fluctuations emanated.

Just when Shi Mu was a little engrossed in watching, he suddenly felt a wave of divine consciousness sweeping over his body, his heart skipped a beat, and he suddenly had a feeling of being seen through himself.

He quickly looked up, and saw that on the circular high platform in front of Zishu, there was an old man with drooping eyebrows in a green robe at some point.

The old man had gray beard and hair, but his complexion was as rosy as a child's. He was wearing a large blue robe, which fluttered gently with the breeze, and there was a dusty aura in the fluttering sleeves.

The old man with drooping eyebrows seemed to have just looked around the scene, and now he looked away from the crowd, which made Shi Mu feel a little relieved.

"Quiet!" the old man with drooping eyebrows said after withdrawing his gaze.

The voice was not loud, but it was full of majesty, and it was transmitted to everyone's ears clearly and abnormally, which made the noisy crowd quiet down immediately, and everyone's eyes were attracted to it.

For a moment, there was no sound at the scene, and needles could be heard.

Shi Mu looked at the green-robed old man, and a pensive look flashed across his face.

This old man looks exactly like a human in appearance, and his aura is hidden, but Shi Mu can still faintly feel the faint monster aura on his body.

In addition, the pattern embroidered on the chest of his green robe is an ancient tree in the sky, not the leaf patterns on most Qinglan Holy Land disciples, so they should have a high status in the Holy Land.

While thinking about it, the old man's voice sounded again:

"The old man is sad, and he is the elder who guides the new disciples this time. Qinglan Holy Land has been passed down for millions of years since Qinglan's ancestor opened the sect. The Miyang Starfield recruits 108 disciples, and according to the test results, the top 36 are selected as high-ranking disciples, and the last 72 are selected as low-ranking disciples."

Everyone listened quietly, no one spoke, obviously they already knew what the old man said, and didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

The old man with drooping eyebrows paused, then continued:

"There are a total of 33,631 people who have passed the guarantor qualification review this time. Before the trial officially begins, the old man routinely asks, this time, can someone with the blood of a heavenly beast, or someone with a chaotic body?" People with first-class physiques such as Abyss and Abyss can come to this old man, and after confirming that they are correct, they will be directly exempted from selection and will be included as high-ranking disciples."

As soon as this statement came out, the originally calm crowd became agitated again, and there were bursts of sighs and comments from time to time.

"Heavenly Beast Bloodline!"

Shi Mu was also shocked, he couldn't help thinking of the ancestor of the white ape, but then he gave a wry smile.

I was just lucky enough to get two strands of blood essence from the ancestor of the white ape who is a celestial beast. It is not really the blood of a celestial beast, unless my stone monkey blood can really evolve into a giant ape as described by the remnant soul of the white ape blood.

It's just that the other party also said that the probability of this is very small, but he will naturally not give up.

After a full incense stick, no one stood up and spoke up.

"Okay, since there is no one, according to the usual practice, the old man will explain to you the rules and precautions for selecting disciples." Regarding the situation at the scene, the old man with drooping eyebrows seemed not surprised, and continued to announce.

Shi Mu's spirit lifted, and he immediately listened carefully.

"The trial will be carried out in the secret realm of the water sky and green mountains of our sect. It will last for one month. You have all obtained a water sky jade pendant and a green mountain token before coming here. All you need to do is to enter the secret realm and hunt through the secret realm The monsters in the forest will obtain their demon cores, which will be sucked into the Qingshan Token and converted into certain points. After one month expires, the winners will be determined according to the points ranking in the Qingshan Token. Note that the monsters in the secret realm Beasts are reared in a special way in this sect, and they will not produce intelligence, but their strength should not be underestimated. If they know they are invincible, they can immediately smash the water and sky jade pendant, and they can escape from the secret realm and save their lives. In this way, it means If you voluntarily give up your qualifications for the election, your Qingshan Order will remain in the secret realm." said the old man with drooping eyebrows.

"May I ask Elder Sad Bone, is it allowed to fight and snatch each other in the secret realm?" Not far from the old man, a tall man with blue skin and nearly ten feet tall opened his mouth full of fangs and asked.

As soon as the voice fell, there was a burst of boos from around, and many people laughed.

"Quiet! Although private fighting is not allowed in Qinglan City, there is no such restriction in the secret realm of Shuitianqingshan. Everyone can fight with each other to seize the Qingshan Token from others and keep the other party's points as their own. I, Qinglan Holy Land Only look at the final result, and will not pursue the process. Besides, since there is a struggle, you will be responsible for the casualties." The old man raised his brows and said solemnly.

What he said made the tall man with purple complexion look resentful, but in the surrounding crowd, there were still many people who had suddenly realized, and many people even had a little bit of panic in their eyes.

Shi Mu was not surprised by this. After all, it would be unreasonable for so many people to participate in the trial if they were not allowed to fight each other.

In the secret realm, compared with monsters with no intelligence, the threat from candidates is greater.

"Okay, the old man has said everything that needs to be said. One last reminder, the disciples selected by this sect must be geniuses who have reached earth-level warriors or moon-level warlocks under the age of a hundred. Secret techniques, or other methods to temporarily improve cultivation, or those who do not meet the age requirements and want to fish in troubled waters, the old man advises him to leave early, and don't ask for trouble." Said the old man with drooping eyebrows, looking around slowly.

Among the crowd, even more than a dozen people pushed aside the crowd and left the venue.

However, most of the people's faces had an excited expression of eagerness to try.

"It's time!" The old man with drooping eyebrows shouted without saying anything.

After all, the old man suddenly rose into the air, turned around, and faced the ancient purple tree that was three to four hundred feet tall.

His eyes suddenly glowed blue, he raised his hands, his fingers changed like wheels on his chest, and shot out one after another quickly, sinking into the ancient purple tree.

With the sinking of the law, the lines on the bottom surface of the seemingly calm purple ancient tree suddenly lit up, and quickly spread along the roots to the thick trunk, until the waterfall-like vines were dyed a layer of crystal purple shine.

Seeing this, the old man with drooping eyebrows opened his mouth, and a bronze key in the shape of a triangular pyramid flew out of his mouth.

The key slowly floated to the top of the old man's head, shining a burst of purple light, and then turned into a purple light, shot into the purple giant tree behind the old man, and disappeared without a trace.

"buzz"

Accompanied by a strong wave of spiritual power, the purple vines that flowed down like a waterfall slowly spun and became blurred until they disappeared, forming an incomparably huge purple vortex.

There was a burst of spatial fluctuations in the center of the vortex, and then the surface of the purple giant tree was distorted and blurred, and suddenly a huge spatial door covering almost the entire tree trunk appeared. The door was blurred, and strong spatial fluctuations came from it.

"Entry!"

Following the loud shout of the old man with drooping eyebrows, there was a sound of breaking through the air, and there were thousands of figures rushing towards the huge space door.

The moment these people touched the huge space door, they rushed in like mud cows entering the sea, and disappeared.

Immediately afterwards, there were several screams!

Impressively, the moment seven or eight people entered the space gate, their whole bodies were enveloped in a cloud of purple light, and then they burst into a cloud of blood mist.

Shi Mu's eyes flashed with golden light, seeing this scene in his eyes, he was shocked for a while.

Obviously, these people are exactly what the old man with drooping eyebrows said before. They all improved their realm through secret techniques and wanted to mix into the secret realm. Due to the backlash of some kind of prohibition in the secret realm, they died at the entrance, and their fate was quite miserable. .

The violent bursting sound produced by the surging flow of tens of thousands of people, as well as the buzzing sound from the space, quickly suppressed those screams, and the rest of the people still rushed towards the space door.

A body of various shapes converged into a huge torrent, rushing towards the huge space gate where the ancient purple tree was located, and the scene was quite spectacular.

Shi Mu observed for a while, and when he was about to jump in, he suddenly turned his head and looked in a direction not far away, and immediately saw several figures.

Among them, two young men and women of the Yaozu with red hair and red robes looked familiar.

The red-haired girl had picturesque features and a graceful figure, and that young man from the monster race was none other than Ma Lie who had conflicted with him before and coveted Cai'er.

The red-haired girl didn't look here, but Ma Lie was casting her gaze over. After seeing Shi Mu turn his head, he didn't show the slightest strangeness, and smiled slightly at Shi Mu.

But then, under the urging of the girl beside him, several people jumped up and flew towards the space gate.

But the moment before entering the space gate, the red-haired girl suddenly turned her head and glanced at Shi Mu, but then disappeared into the space gate.

Shi Mu looked at the disappearing figures of the few people, smiled slightly, and also flew forward. (To be continued.)
