Chapter 866 Ascension Trial
With Brother Xiao's cultivation level, he was willing to be humble to Murong Yan. It was enough to see that Brother Xiao still admired Murong Yan very much.
Murong Yan was delighted when he heard this, and said, "Although Murong Yan has practiced for seven or eight years and has only reached the eighth level of Qi Refining, it is because the elders of the family think that the family's skills are too low-level and practicing too early will delay his future, so they only passed on the method of meditation and breathing to Murong Yan. Murong Yan has the qualifications of earth spirit roots, and even if he joins the Great Emperor Haoran Tianzong, he will definitely not drag you down."
After hearing this, even Xia Mo smiled. Murong Yan in front of him looked close to twenty years old, but he had a childlike mind. He was straightforward and told some of his details without the two asking.
In fact, it was Murong Yan's innocent heart that made Xiao Lin interested in him. Otherwise, with his cultivation level, he would be enough to participate in the Ascension Trial alone.
Xia Mo beside him was a natural spiritual root. Xiao Lin believed that it was basically a done deal for her to join the Great Emperor Haoran Tianzong.
However, the only thing that bothered Xiao Lin was the yin energy in Xia Mo's body. Once she joined the Great Emperor Haoran Tianzong, the sect would definitely test her spiritual roots and check her realm and cultivation. In this way, it would be easy to find out.
After thinking for a while, Xiao Lin had a plan in mind.
After getting Xiao Lin's consent, Murong Yan was overjoyed. After introducing each other, he volunteered to be a guide. This Haoyang City was amazingly large, and the sky above the entire city was banned from flying, which meant that immortal cultivators could not fly in the air here.
Although they could not fly in the air, it did not limit the art of walking. For many immortal cities with bans on flying, most immortal cultivators would use the art of walking to travel, such as the world is so close and the earth is so small.
Murong Yan seemed to want to show off in front of the two people. There was a faint red light under his feet. With one step, he went out about ten feet. Even if there were people coming and going on the streets in the city, he could easily avoid them and walk ten feet in one step.
However, it was obvious that Murong Yan's magic of walking was not very good. Wherever he passed, his magic power actually brought about whirlwinds, blowing ordinary people who were close to him all over the place.
For ordinary mortals in Haoyang City, such things were not surprising. Although they were blown all over the place, they just glared at his back fiercely, but did not dare to say hello to his family.
Half an hour later, Murong Yan had walked more than two hundred miles. For this huge Haoyang City, it was just a short distance. Murong Yan stopped and wanted to see if the two had caught up.
After all, he had just made every effort to use his magic power to the extreme. I think the two had been left far behind by him.
But before he turned around, he heard Xia Mo's voice: "Murong Yan, why don't you leave? Have you reached the road to heaven?"
This sentence startled Murong Yan and he shivered. He turned around and saw Xiao Lin and Xia Mo following him calmly, without even a trace of dust on their bodies. Looking at himself, he was already panting and his mana was mostly depleted.
Murong Yan opened his mouth slightly, but couldn't speak.
"Hehe." Seeing Murong Yan's expression, Xia Mo couldn't help laughing. In fact, she also saw that Murong Yan was intentionally showing off his magic, but for Xiao Lin, this was simply a low-level skill that was not worthy of his attention. Along the way, Xiao Lin didn't even move his feet, but just sent out a magic power to wrap Xia Mo, and followed closely behind him with the help of the whirlwind brought by Murong Yan's magic, without consuming any strength.
"Brother Xiao, Miss Xia, Murong Yan is not as good as you. Your magic skills are more than ten times better than Murong Yan's."
At this moment, even if Murong Yan was simple-minded, he knew that Brother Xiao's skills were far superior to his own, and even Miss Xia beside him was much better than him.
Xiao Lin stopped teasing him at this moment. A flash of light flashed on his body, and an invisible energy wrapped Murong Yan and Xia Mo. Then he took a light step and disappeared without a trace.
Murong Yan looked at the pedestrians around him with a silly expression, almost being pulled into long colorful lines, while his surroundings seemed to be still. Not only was there no air flow, but there was not even a breeze.
This made Murong Yan dumbfounded. He finally understood that his brother Xiao was definitely a master. This kind of immortal method that seemed to be so close yet so far away seemed to be far inferior to that of the Jindan ancestor in his family, right?
"How is this possible?" Murong Yan felt that his head was not enough, and he patted his forehead with a headache.
Xia Mo looked at Murong Yan's stupid expression with amusement, and smiled softly like a little fox.
"Don't be surprised, being able to be brothers with Brother Xiao is a blessing you have cultivated in your previous life."
"Well, what Miss Xia said is very true, very true." Murong Yan's brain was short-circuited at this moment, and he didn't know whether he should be happy or terrified.
More than an hour later, the three of them had arrived at the north gate of Haoyang City. The gate was wide open, and a narrow valley could be vaguely seen in front of them. At the end of the valley, a stone staircase extended from the misty white fog and led all the way to the white clouds in the sky.
And in the white clouds, huge peaks could be seen looming, standing between heaven and earth.
At this moment, the square outside the North City Gate was full of people, and there were countless people. At first glance, it seemed that there were not hundreds of thousands of people.
Xiao Lin also showed a surprised expression when he sensed it. About 40 to 50% of the people in front of him were at the Great Perfection stage of the Qi Refining Stage, accounting for nearly half of them.
Moreover, these people were all very young, most of them were under the age of twenty. What even shocked Xiao Lin was that there were many children who looked less than ten years old, and the auras emanating from these children turned out to be mostly Qi Refining. High level.
This made Xiao Lin couldn't help but sigh in his heart. This Daqian dynasty was really full of talents. The annual ascension trial attracted hundreds of thousands of people to participate.
Moreover, both the quality and quantity of the people who participated were far superior to what he had experienced when he came to Dancao Mountain. It could be said to be a world of difference.
Xiao Lin and the others came to a corner in front of the city wall. He took out a spiritual pill, handed it to Xia Mo and said, "Take this pill."
Hearing this, Xia Mo took the elixir from Xiao Lin's hand without hesitation and threw it into his mouth.
"After the medicine takes effect, sit down cross-legged."
Before it was time to drink tea, beads of sweat began to appear on Xia Mo's forehead, and she hurriedly sat down cross-legged.
Xiao Lin came behind him, pointed at his back, and injected pure mana into his body through his body.
The purpose of Xiao Lin's doing this was to seal the power of demons in Tianyin Qi. Of course, Xiao Lin's sealing method could only last for a few days, but for Xia Mo, these few days Time is enough.
The reason why Xiao Lin dared to do this was because he was sure that the disciple of the Emperor Haoran Tianzong would not be a Yuanying monk, so it was impossible to see through his seal.
As long as they join the Great Emperor Haoran Tianzong, Xiao Lin believes that those high-level monks above the Nascent Soul stage will not care about their low-level disciples.
Murong Yan looked at him with confusion on his face. Although his heart was full of doubts, he swallowed the words as soon as they came to his lips.
After a cup of tea, Xiao Lin retracted his palm. The sweat on Xia Mo's forehead gradually dissipated, her rapid breathing calmed down, and she exuded a faint cold aura.
After Xiao Lin finished all this, he sat down cross-legged and restrained his consciousness. At this time, Xiao Lin's voice rang in Murong Yan's ears.
"Protect me and don't let anyone get close to me."
After hearing this, Murong Yan immediately came to Xiao Lin's side without hesitation, silently paying attention to the surrounding movements.
Although he didn't understand why Xiao Lin was meditating at this moment, he still didn't hesitate at all. It was obvious that he already regarded Xiao Lin as a brother in his heart.
This time it lasted for half an hour before Xiao Lin breathed a long sigh of relief and opened his eyes.
When he opened his eyes, he saw Murong Yan looking at him with confusion.
"Brother Xiao, why do you feel that you are different from before? Previously, Murong Yan looked at you as if you were facing an ancient sacred mountain and an endless abyss. Now it seems that your cultivation has suddenly become much weaker."
Xiao Lin heard this, smiled slightly, and said: "Before, I just hid my cultivation through secret techniques, but now is my true state."
Of course, what Xiao Lin said was not the truth. In fact, as early as in the Wuming Valley, Xiao Lin had decided to infiltrate the Emperor Haoran Tianzong and seek scriptures. What he wanted to ask for was not the superior immortal cultivation techniques, but the Emperor Haoran. Tianzong, the experience of the predecessors in the Sutra Pavilion that has been passed down for who knows how many thousands of years.
The Sutra Pavilion of the Great Emperor Haoran Tianzong is said to have a collection of billions of books. Since the birth of the Great Emperor Haoran Tianzong, countless disciples, elders, and sect leaders have written down their cultivation experiences and hid them in the Sutra Pavilion for later use. Later generations of disciples understood it.
At least millions of years have passed since the birth of the Great Emperor Haoran Tianzong. During such long years, the cultivation experience can be said to be dazzling. As long as the cultivation techniques possessed by this ancient continent, nine out of ten have been handed down. .
Xiao Lin has now reached the peak of the middle stage of Yuanying, and is only one step away from the late stage of Yuanying. He originally planned to retreat to hit the bottleneck in the later stage, but after careful consideration, he gave up temporarily.
Because he felt that his realm was not stable enough and his understanding of the immortal way was not thorough enough, it took him three hundred years to reach the peak of the middle Nascent Soul stage. Although this cannot be said to be unique in the world of immortal cultivation, it is definitely rare.
Xiao Lin also understood that his current state was mostly due to the spirit wood space and many opportunities, not because of his enlightenment and cultivation.
If you seek to advance rashly, your foundation will probably collapse if your foundation is unstable. If you really do that, you will lose more than you gain.
After some thought, Xiao Lin decided to join the Great Emperor Haoran Tianzong, find a way to enter the Sutra Pavilion, learn about the cultivation experience of many senior immortal cultivators, understand it, and consolidate his own foundation.
If he wanted to join the Great Emperor Haoran Tianzong, he had to pass the Heaven Ascension Trial, and with his peak state in the middle Nascent Soul stage, it was easy for others to discover him, so Xiao Lin thought of a way.
That is to hide one's Nascent Soul into the spirit wood space through the method of inner vision, and pour most of the mana and consciousness into the spirit wood space.
At first, Xiao Lin was worried about whether the soul-eating power possessed by the saplings in the spirit wood space would also affect him, so he dispersed a small amount of divine power and mana. When he was sure that the saplings would not cause him any harm, After being hurt, he felt relieved and moved the Nascent Soul inside.
As a result, Xiao Lin's level was magically reduced to the Great Perfection of Qi Refining, and because it was not an ordinary sealing spell, his identity as a Yuanying monk, let alone an ordinary Yuanying monk, even a great monk, would never be discovered. of.
The only thing that worries Xiao Lin is the cultivator of the God Transformation. As the pinnacle of existence in this world, he is not sure whether the cultivator of the Soul Transformation realm can see some clues from himself.
But when Xiao Lin thought about it, even in the Great Emperor Haoran Tianzong, if he wanted to meet a monk in the realm of gods, the probability was so small that he could almost ignore it.
Suddenly there was a commotion in the crowd, which attracted the attention of the three people.
I saw four young men and women falling slowly from the top of the road to heaven. They all looked to be about twenty years old. They were wearing white robes with green patterns. The men were handsome and handsome, while the women were delicate and charming.
Two men and two women each held a green gourd about a foot high in their hands. The four of them, with their bare feet, stepped on an auspicious cloud, and slowly separated on both sides of the road to the sky.
Immediately afterwards, a red light fell from the sky. When the red light dissipated, a man in his mid-twenties was revealed. The man was also wearing a white robe with green patterns and carried two swords behind his back.
Xiao Lin knew at a glance that the two men and two women were in the middle stage of foundation building, and the auspicious clouds they stepped on were only transformed by his own magic power, and were not some extraordinary magical powers. As for the man in the white robe with green stripes, It is the foundation-building state of Dzogchen.
The man glanced at the people below, and a smile appeared on his face: "I, Wu Tianhua, am the leading disciple for this year's Heaven Ascension Trial. Since you have chosen to come to participate in the Heaven Ascension Trial, you must have I know the rules, and some people have even participated once or twice, but I still have something to say up front.”
"You can only participate in the Heaven Climbing Trial three times at most. Anyone who participates more than three times will inevitably trigger the power of earth, water, fire, wind, and the four elements. Not to mention your mere Qi Refining Stage state, even I will turn into flying in an instant. Ash, so don’t make any mistakes, and you will be responsible for all the consequences.”
After saying that, the man said no more, but turned to look at the two men and two women, and nodded.
"The Road to Heaven is now open. Anyone who can reach the Immortal Fate Pavilion within an hour will become a direct disciple of our sect. And if someone falls on the Road to Heaven, there is no need to panic. They will only be in a coma for a day and night on the Road to Heaven. , When the trial of ascending to heaven is over, you will wake up and leave on your own."
"Now turn on the earth, water, fire and wind to ignite the road to heaven."
