Chapter 1631 Selection

"How difficult is it to peek into the mysteries of living beings before reaching the Venerable Realm?" Lan Chonghe shook his head slightly, "It would be great if two or three of these people could come out."

Geng Yang nodded slightly.

Even Gu Xiuyun and Gu Yue slowly comprehended the mysteries of living beings under the guidance of the Dao Book, let alone others.

In the entire Black Lock Mountain, there are a total of 34 people who have comprehended the changes of living beings, of which 32 are Venerables and True Venerables... Only two people remain below the Venerable.

One is Yan Lu, and the other is Shen Qi, who has reincarnated dozens of times.

In terms of status, Shen Qi is not low in the Divine Religion, but there are Tu Mang, Yan Zhan, Bing Xi, Ji Wenshan and other people who have made great contributions to the Divine Religion before him, so it is naturally not his turn to obtain the essence of the demon god and the Zen relic.

Without these cultivation treasures, relying solely on the Dao Book, the hope of becoming a Venerable is very slim, so for millions of years, he has been staying at the eighth and ninth grades, constantly reincarnating, and has never been able to become a Venerable.

"I didn't expect Shen Qi to have the talent to comprehend the mysteries of living beings. With his qualifications and contributions, he can occupy a quota." Yan Sushi said.

"Then there is only one quota left," Geng Yang looked around, "Among the venerables and true venerables present, Ji Wenshan, Mo Shu, and Yuan Qing have the deepest understanding of the mysteries of living beings and are most likely to enter the seventh rank. Let's choose from these three!"

"Yuan Qing is a newly promoted venerable and acts quite cruelly. He is not suitable." Lan Chonghe shook his head.

Acting cruelly often means selfishness.

Yuan Qing can become a venerable by his own strength, which is indeed commendable, but the three quotas are too precious and will never be wasted on a practitioner of unknown origin.

No one knows Yuan Qing's predecessor.

Yan Sushi only comprehended the mystery of the seventh rank cause and effect, not the law of cause and effect. It is impossible to see the past life of a venerable without any involvement, so no one knows whether Yuan Qing has become a venerable in two lives.

"Mo Shu and Ji Wenshan, who do you think has more potential?" Geng Yang continued.

"Ji Wenshan is my junior brother, so I naturally hope he can get a place, but he practices killing..." Lan Chonghe frowned, "The killing system has always been called the devil's way by the world, and he has to stick to the right way. His mind conflicts with the rules. I'm afraid he will never understand the killing rules in his life."

"There is indeed something wrong with Ji Wenshan's path."

Yan Sushi nodded slightly, "Several reincarnations have made him go through a lot of trials. His Tao heart is already strong enough, and he is mainly based on the simplest killing rules. Logically, he should have understood the mystery of the seventh-grade creatures, but he has always stayed at the peak of the sixth grade and has made little progress."

The few people looked at each other and made a decision.

...

Around the Black Lock Mountain, hundreds of millions of disciples of the Divine Religion stared at the ancient mirror above their heads from afar, whispering from time to time.

"Who do you think is most likely to get three places?"

"Yan Luo has a better chance. According to the chief priest, the higher the cultivation level, the easier it is to comprehend the rules of living beings. The venerables have all comprehended the rules of living beings to a certain extent, so the high priests value disciples below the venerable realm more. Yan Luo has the lowest cultivation level, so his chance of being selected should be the greatest."

"But he is not a core disciple after all. Didn't the chief priest also say that in addition to talent and understanding, seniority and contribution are also important."

In the crowd, the phoenix-eyed female cultivator and the white-bearded middle-aged man looked anxiously, listening to the discussions of their fellow disciples around them,

while observing the scene in the depths of the mirror light.

The white-bearded middle-aged man is only in the early stage of the true realm, and he is also an outer disciple. His vision is far inferior to his peers. He can't tell who is good and who is bad at all, and can only rely on the discussions of others to distinguish a little.

"Master, can Junior Brother Yan really get a place?" The phoenix-eyed female cultivator couldn't help asking.

"I don't know either," the middle-aged man with white beard shook his head slightly, "The high priest values ​​the legendary rules of living beings. In this regard, I am no different from you, so how can I see the gap?"

As he spoke, the figure in the mirror light changed rapidly.

The flow rate in Black Lock Mountain is always a thousand times. One day outside is a thousand days in the mountain. In just a few months, many disciples of the Divine Religion have broken through the realm barriers.

Half a year later.

A monstrous divine power pressed down from the top of the mountain, expelling 99% of the 100,000 disciples, leaving only a hundred people. At the same time, the flow rate of time soared again, from a thousand times to ten thousand times.

The space barrier at the edge of the mountain was completely distorted, forming an unbreakable space-time barrier.

Those disciples of the Divine Religion who were blasted out of Black Lock Mountain by divine power looked around blankly, and realized in an instant that they were eliminated.

"It shouldn't be," a peak ninth-rank master shook his head vigorously, "I tried my best to comprehend the mystery of time in the shortest years, how could I not be in the top 100?"

"Master Jian, the high priest is not testing the rules of matter, but the rules of living beings." The disciple of the Divine Religion beside him hurriedly explained.

"Living beings, what is that?" The peak ninth-rank master looked puzzled.

The disciples around him explained it in a flurry, and after a moment, he suddenly realized it and showed helplessness on his face.

It turned out that the time and space Taoist magic was just a cover, and the real mystery was the rules of living beings under the Taoist magic. Without sufficient talent, it is difficult to discover those special features.

"That's right, according to the description of the Taoist who cherishes life, after becoming a god or demon, the realm of Taoism will advance by leaps and bounds in a short period of time, all the way to the level of the Realm Master. The rules of matter are meaningless, and the high priests will naturally not value them, so how could they use them as a test?"

The eliminated disciples of the Divine Religion looked at each other with a wry smile on their faces.

The person in charge is confused, and the bystander is clear. During the test, they would never have thought of this.

"Among more than a hundred people, there are only two who have not reached the Venerable realm. One is Yan Luo and the other is the reincarnation of Venerable Shen. It seems that these two have great hope of obtaining the quota."

"I don't think so. No matter how talented they are, they are not venerables after all, and their understanding of the rules of living beings is very shallow. Instead of choosing them, it is better to choose Ji Wenshan, Mo Shu, Yuan Qing and others. Those few people exude mysterious and mysterious aura fluctuations. , obviously also has some understanding of the rules of life."

"No, no, no, this is an opportunity between gods and demons. A small gap is nothing. The competition is about the progress of millions or even tens of millions of years in the future. Otherwise, the high priests will not choose from ordinary disciples."

After the second round of elimination, the situation suddenly became clear. Everyone had their own opinions and their words became more confident. Especially those eliminated venerables and those at the top of the ninth rank were eloquent and eloquent, saying a few insightful words from time to time.

"It turns out that Junior Brother Yan has comprehended the rules of cause and effect," the female cultivator with Feng Eyes trembled slightly, "I have long heard from others that the first priest is in charge of cause and effect, and has magical powers that reach the heavens and the earth. I thought it was some kind of secret skill, but it turns out It’s a biological rule.”

"Cause and effect, destiny, life and death...these words are

"Master has also heard people say," the white-bearded middle-aged man sighed in a low voice, "I never thought that I would cultivate a disciple who is good at the mystery of cause and effect." "

The white-bearded master and apprentice looked at each other with somewhat excited expressions.

With Yan Luo's talent, even if he does not have three quotas, he will still be valued by the higher-ups of the cult and be given various elixirs and rare treasures. As Yan Luo's fellow disciples, they can't eat meat, so they can still drink some soup.

Time passes slowly.

Unknowingly, a few months have passed. Yan Lu has been cultivating in Black Suo Mountain for nearly three thousand years. Shouyuan has already reached his limit. But strangely, he shows no signs of dying, as if Shouyuan has been quietly dying. It was extended ten times and a hundred times.

call!

The overwhelming divine power filled the air from the top of the mountain, and the space-time barrier quietly collapsed, and one hundred and nine disciples of the divine sect appeared in front of hundreds of millions of fellow disciples.

"The test is over?"

Countless disciples showed curiosity on their faces.

Soon, the first priest and several throne holders will announce the results and determine the three candidates to follow the Black-striped Golden Dolphin.

"Which three people will it be, Ji Wenshan? Yan Luo? Priest Kanshan? Priest Yuan Qing?"

"There must be Uncle Ji Wenshan. After all, he is the direct disciple of Taoist Xi Ming. He does not look at the monk's face but the Buddha's face. The first priest must take into account the face of the previous high priest."

"I don't think so. Opportunities between gods and demons are so precious. Every quota is crucial. How can it be wasted easily? There is something wrong with Ji Wenshan's practice. Even the eliminated venerables know it. How could the first priest be so obviously biased? help?"

"In my opinion, Priest Shen is the one with the greatest hope. Several venerables have praised him highly. He is also one of the early heroes of the divine religion. He was responsible for the expansion of territory and the spread of scientific and technological civilization. , and has reached the realm of three difficulties, both public and private, he deserves a quota. "

The disciples of the sect talked about it one after another.

At the same time, one hundred and nine selected practitioners opened their eyes and looked towards the sky.

On the top of Black Suo Mountain, several figures stood in the sky, with astonishing fluctuations all over their bodies. Each of them was a Six Difficulties True Master who had practiced to the extreme - Yan Su Shi, Lan Chong He, Geng Yang, Shen Wu, and Black Pattern Golden Dolphin.

"Everyone's performance is amazing, and I am very happy." Yan Sushi stood with her hands behind her hands, overlooking the vast crowd, "Yan Luo and Shen Qi, you two are not venerables, but you can understand the mysteries of life, which shows that you have extraordinary talents. "

"Even the Taoist Taoist Xi Ming and the Moon Priest back then were able to understand the mystery of fate with the guidance of the Lianshan Scroll. You two... are very good. There are three quotas for you."

After the words fell, Yan Luo and Shen Qi showed excitement and ecstasy on their faces.

After thousands of years of practice, they already knew that they had passed the test and that they were expected to get a spot, but when things came to pass, they still felt an indescribable sense of unreality.

"Sure enough, Taoist Shen and Yan Luo both have a quota. I wonder who will get the last one? Ji Wenshan? Mo Shu? Yuan Qing?"

"It should be Ji Wenshan. In terms of qualifications, contributions, and talent in the rules of life, he is not weak. And with the secret guidance of Taoist Xi Ming, there is still some hope of becoming the Supreme of the Universe."

"We are on the wrong path, what hope is there? No matter how talented Taoist Xi Ming is, he can't change the essence of Taoism!"

During the conversation, Yan Sushi spoke again, "The last spot, Mo Shu, is yours!"
