Chapter 1871 The Test Is Over

Xi Palace, a majestic palace.

The cyan figure stood with hands behind his back, Chengkong and Qingshuang stood beside him with respectful faces, and below was the envoy from Dangyang.

"Dangyang, you should have received the summons from Master Yi Ming. Do you have any objections to this result?" the green figure said indifferently.

"My subordinates have no objections."

The envoy from Dangyang lowered his head, and there was no trace of arrogance on his face.

Gu Xiuyun's secret pattern map made him completely understand the other party's strength. It was all nonsense that he was good at material secrets and was crude in destiny.

The way of destiny is so crude that it can destroy his mind with just a secret pattern and make him comatose for several days?

"Okay," the green figure continued, "In that case, after the sect's election, you can go to the Yinming Ancient Temple. It is isolated from the world and is affected by special forces, so it cannot contact the outside world. However, it is also a rare place of cultivation. You may be able to go a step further by practicing in the ancient temple.”

"I obey my orders."

The envoy from Dangyang bowed and nodded.

"We actually went there," Chengkong looked ahead, with a bit of envy on his face, "The Yinming Ancient Temple is one of the top cultivation treasures in Hunyuan Void, and it is of great benefit to tempering one's will. Tangyang is a blessing in disguise this time. ”

"Not necessarily," Qingshuang whispered, "Although there are many opportunities in the Yinming Ancient Temple, there are also many dangers. If you go there, you will not be able to maintain the stability of the universe, which is equivalent to losing half your life. Moreover, there are many dangers in the ancient temple. Whether he can survive the terrifying mixed-source demon spirit is still unknown. "

"Hybrid source demon spirit..."

Hearing this word, Chengkong took a deep breath, and the look of envy on his face instantly dissipated.

The Hunyuan Demon Spirit is one of the most special beings in the Hunyuan Void. It is born with extremely powerful power and can only survive in the depths of the secret realm.

For example, the Wuling Demon Lord in Hongjie Domain is a mixed-origin demon spirit.

When the source beast forces attacked Hongming Mountain, Gu Xiuyun, Luo Shen, and Jueshan could only retreat steadily. However, Wuling Demon Lord blocked the two masters with his own strength. One can imagine how powerful the Hunyuan Demon Spirit is. .

Compared to the Hongjie Domain, the Yinming Ancient Temple is far more dangerous. There are so many mixed-source demon spirits living there that it makes one’s scalp numb.

"Qingshuang, I remember you have been to Yinming Ancient Temple before?" Chengkong asked quietly.

"I only stayed for a short time," Qingshuang responded. "It was too dangerous there. I had to take the risk to go there in order to collect the sand of the Yinming River and refine the natal spiritual treasure, but it was only for a few days. , and it is already full of dangers. Although Dangyang is much stronger than me at that time, he has to stay there for a year... I really can’t say whether he can survive. "

The two looked at each other and sighed secretly.

The Yinming Ancient Temple is too dangerous.

At the same time, the cyan figure spoke again, "Counting the time, the test of Jiuzhongyuntai should be almost over. Chengkong, you go summon the elders of each hall and prepare to recruit practitioners from all walks of life who have passed the test. As for Dangyang and Qingshuang, You two go to the secret trial realm of the second level and wait to avoid any surprises, so get out!"

"As commanded."

The three of them bowed and left.

…

The space of thoughts, above the nine-layer cloud platform.

One by one, the supreme beings of the universe were sitting cross-legged, looking at the cloud platform below.

"Compared to previous years, this year's cultivators seem to be much inferior," a supreme leader shook his head and said, "With the blessing of a hundred times the speed, only so many people passed the test."

"It's already pretty good."

Another person said, "The chaos caused by the Origin Beast caused the Xihuang Heavenly Territory to lose a large number of disciples. The ability to gather these was the result of the deployment of elites from the Qingxiao Heavenly Territory."

Everyone looked down, with either happiness or sadness on their faces.

Fortunately, there is not much competition, and their disciples will have a greater chance of joining the Xi Imperial Palace. What is worrying is that there are too few elite disciples in this class, and the credit given by the sect will be reduced accordingly, and it will finally be distributed to them. There are even fewer.

Suddenly, one of the elders looked towards the sixth floor of the cloud platform.

"Then junior... actually succeeded?"

Everyone followed their gazes and saw the scholar standing alone in front of an ordinary stone tablet. A shallow mark was revealed on the surface of the stone tablet. It was the soul mark formed after refining the stone tablet, which also meant that this person had understood the meaning of the stone tablet. The magic formula has the qualification to ascend to the seventh level.

"If I remember correctly, this person's progress was not very fast before." A Supreme said.

"It's very slow," another person said. "It took him seven years for the third layer of stone tablets, sixteen years for the fourth layer of stone tablets, and twenty-three years for the fifth layer of stone tablets. Logically speaking, The sixth level of the stone tablet has reached the limit of his own cultivation, and the difficulty of understanding it has increased at least a hundred times. It only took him forty years to successfully cross it. "

After the words fell, everyone's faces showed expressions of excitement.

Forty years later, he understood the sixth layer of stone tablets. Among all the cultivators who participated in the test, it was not amazing. It could only be said that he barely reached the threshold of candidate disciple. But what is rare is that this person could not be anxious or impatient, step by step. Breaking your own limits.

This kind of character is really amazing.

"For practitioners, talent and understanding are one aspect, but what is more important is the Taoist mind. Especially after entering the Qiankun realm, the Taoist mind has a greater impact on practice. This person can always maintain a calm state of mind during the test. It’s not simple, it’s not simple!”

Elder Wen Shi of Danjiang Hall praised him repeatedly.

"That's what he said, but he is only a Six Difficulties True Venerable after all," Elder Liu Chong shook his head and said, "and his comprehension is indeed a bit poor. Look at the junior in Qiushan Realm, he is also in the Six Difficulties Realm, but he only took two years to go from the first level to the sixth level, and now he has understood most of the seventh level of the stone tablet. Only with such comprehension can the sect fully cultivate him. As for that junior, I think he will never become the Supreme of Heaven and Earth even if he practices until death."

"Talent can be improved by external forces, but can the heart of Tao?" Elder Wen Shi refuted repeatedly, "Speaking of comprehension, which of the Supreme of Heaven and Earth in our sect is not a natural talent, but how many of them can become the elder of performing the law?"

"As long as the comprehension reaches a certain level, anything is possible. Isn't Gu Ximing the best example? In terms of the heart of Tao, he is much worse than us, but he still became the law enforcement elder of the Xihuang Palace." Elder Liu Chong sneered.

"Okay, both of you stop arguing," an elder from the Universe Hall quickly tried to smooth things over. "Whether they have a heart for Taoism or a good understanding, they are all talents that the Xihuang Palace needs. As for how much they will achieve in the future, that depends on their own abilities, and has little to do with us."

At this moment, a strong wave fell from the sky.

Everyone looked up and saw Elder Chengkong stepping over, with a powerful aura covering everyone's head like a tide.

"Greetings, Lord Chengkong."

The supremes of each hall hurriedly bowed and saluted.

The ones in the mind space were all the most ordinary supremes of each branch hall. The highest cultivators were only at the first level of the Acting Realm. Facing Chengkong, who was at the third level, they naturally did not dare to be disrespectful.

However, facing the salutes of everyone, Chengkong's face was a little gloomy.

"If I heard correctly, you were mocking Elder Ximing just now? Liu Chong, is that right?" "I dare not."

Liu Chong's body trembled slightly, and he hurriedly explained, "We were just discussing which is more important, Dao heart or talent. Fellow Daoist Wen Shi believes that Dao heart has a greater impact on practitioners, while I hold the opposite opinion. During the discussion, I accidentally mentioned Elder Ximing. Please forgive me, sir."

"Really?"

Cheng Kong snorted angrily, "I hope I heard it wrong, but remember, if anyone lets me hear such words again in the future, I will never be polite."

Cold sweat broke out on Liu Chong's forehead.

The surrounding Qiankun Supremes also took a breath of cold air, and were glad that they did not say too much.

Only a few elders from the main hall were a little confused. As far as they knew, when the rumor about Gu Ximing came out, Elder Cheng Kong also laughed at him a few times, and his words were very impolite. Why did he suddenly change now?

"Maybe he got some benefit from Gu Ximing. He cultivates two veins and is valued by the Lord of Yiming Palace. It's not surprising that he has some treasures." Several elders of the main hall whispered.

...

In the cloud platform.

The practitioners from various Qiankun worlds are still silently comprehending the stone tablet.

The election of the Xihuang Palace sect is not determined by the final level, but by the potential of each person.

For example, a Yi Nan Venerable who has just entered the Transcendent Realm, no matter how talented he is, he can't rush to the fourth level, because his realm is limited. It's already very good to be able to reach the second level.

And if it is a Qi Nan Realm Venerable, at least he has to reach the seventh level before he can worship in the Xihuang Palace.

In a certain level.

Chu Weijun sat cross-legged, looking at the stone tablet in front of him with a wry smile, "I still overestimated myself. Junior Brother Zhu is right. Compared with the Yuanchen rule, the Tianxing rule is more suitable for me, but the road has been chosen, and it's too late to regret it."

The stone tablet in front of him contains a special secret technique that tells about the Yuanchen rule.

Yuanchen rules are also one of the lower-level methods. They are much more powerful than Tianxing rules and can almost rival sword and spear. Therefore, Chu Weijun has always wanted to switch to this great way, but now he regrets it.

"It seems that the fifth level is my limit, and I am already a six-difficulty true master. I am afraid it is impossible to get the recognition of Xihuang Palace."

Chu Weijun shook his head helplessly.

The practice of the great way does not allow for half-heartedness, but everyone understands the truth, but how many people can really do it?

In addition to Chu Weijun, there are many Changhe Sect disciples gathered on this cloud platform.

Among them are Yu Xianzi and Que Sha, who were once familiar with Gu Xiuyun. They all followed the Venerable to leave the realm of the heavens, but compared with those Venerables, Yu Xianzi, Que Sha and others are obviously much worse in talent and understanding. After millions of years of practice, they still stay between the five and six difficulties.

"I never thought that an illusion could have so many changes."

Fairy Yu looked at the stone tablet in front of her, and praised, "Although it is impossible for me to step onto the sixth level, it is worth the trip to master such a powerful illusion secret technique."

She had a feeling that as long as she could integrate the first five levels of the magic formula, she would be able to enter the realm of the realm master.

That was already a level that countless creatures in the heavens and realms longed for but could not reach.

"The way of poison is indeed infinitely mysterious."

Que Sha stared at the stone tablet in front of him, his eyes shining.

Both of them were silently moving forward on their own paths of cultivation.

...

Finally, one day, a rumbling bell sounded from the mind space.

The test of the Nine-Layer Cloud Platform came to an end.
