The first test lasted very short, and most of them were eliminated in just one fight.
The second test lasted very long.
Two hundred years passed quietly.
The three major aspects of the Dan Dao, the Weapon Dao, and the Talisman Dao were tested at the same time, making all the immortals and gods feel the difficulty, even those powerful star masters were no exception.
At least, eleven places of testing.
In this testing place where Wu Yuan is, for the time being, no one has been able to complete the three tests.
"Sure enough, as Master expected, if you stay in the stage of immortals and gods for a long time, there will be no real geniuses, and few people can reach the top in three aspects at the same time." Wu Yuan thought to himself.
Although, Master Kuachi has long judged that even if this test lasts for ten thousand years, the nearly 20,000 immortals and gods among them who can finally complete the three tests should not exceed a thousand, far less than three thousand.
.
But after all, when life and death were involved, Wu Yuan naturally did not dare to be careless.
For two hundred years, besides conducting deductions and research, he also paid close attention to the movements of others.
The actual results were almost the same as the judgment of Lord Kuachi.
"About a hundred years, there was a peak. More than a thousand people met the first requirement of alchemy. But then the number decreased rapidly. So far, there are only more than 1,300 people who have met the first requirement." Wu Yuan secretly said.
This is also normal. In the first hundred years, some people who have already achieved high levels of success in the alchemy path will naturally break through quickly.
As for the immortals and gods who were originally far away from the requirements, it was difficult to reach the requirements after practicing for millions of years. Want to break through in a short time? It is as difficult as ascending to the sky.
Although the nine major forces in the Taoist world will provide special training and guidance for the immortals and gods under their command.
But there are only a few strong people in the Taoist world, and more than 90% are strong people in the demonic world.
The strong men in the demon world have no external environment.
"The number of people who have met the second requirement is currently thirty-six." Wu Yuan glanced at both sides of the void: "The number of people who have met the third requirement is currently zero."
No one has passed the second test yet.
This is the reason why Wu Yuan practiced step by step without any hurry or slowness.
"If you go by what Master said and seek quick success, it will take at least hundreds of years for the Alchemy Dao alone, plus the Artifact Dao, the Talisman Dao, you have to start all over again... Adding up the three requirements, I have to start from scratch, I'm afraid
A thousand years." Wu Yuan shook his head slightly.
A thousand years is quite a long time compared to his lifespan.
The road to analyzing the essence of all things will be slow at first.
But this is to explore the essence, and one method is applicable to all methods.
Once you meet the requirements in the way of alchemy, you can then study the way of utensils, the way of talismans, etc., and you will find many things in common.
Moreover, it is likely to be helpful for the next third and fourth tests. After all, analyzing all things is a fundamental improvement.
Therefore, Wu Yuan thought very thoroughly from the beginning and spent a hundred years trying to take the second path.
If progress is still slow within a hundred years, take the first path again.
after all!
Even if Wu Yuan takes the first path at the beginning, the probability of capturing three Black Magic Tokens is very low. The best case scenario is to capture two Black Magic Tokens.
"Now, the preliminary analysis of 55,000 elixirs has been completed."
"It's just that out of the 5.5 million basic units of life, I have deduced 300,000." Wu Yuan's body-refining deity is still studying and deducing in the highest-level 'alchemy ground' in the witchcraft world.
I made rapid progress at the beginning.
Because his Tao perception is extremely high, he can easily gain insight into some of the basic units of life that he is familiar with.
The further you go, the more difficult it will be to analyze and understand the basic units of life.
"Theoretically."
"To analyze all the basic units of life, you must understand the laws of life." Wu Yuan secretly said: "Or conversely, if you can analyze all the basic units of life and then understand the laws of life, you will have great hope to understand them.
Already."
The two complement each other.
"The Avenue of Creation involves the two major laws of life and death, which is more comprehensive." Wu Yuan shook his head slightly: "But it is still getting more and more difficult for me to understand and analyze. I have no hope of understanding all the basic units of life at once.
"
"My greatest advantage is the avenue of time and space." Two hundred years later, Wu Yuan also noticed it.
The two avenues collide with each other, and the efficiency is astonishingly high.
"About 10%."
"Having analyzed 550,000 basic units of life, I should be considered to have reached the threshold level of Xingjun in terms of analyzing the basis of all living things." Wu Yuan thought: "On this basis, we can then deduce the way of instruments and talismans.
They should be able to reach the level of immortals very quickly."
"Continue!" Wu Yuan was not too anxious.
His goal is to secure one Black Magic Token in the second test and strive to capture two Black Magic Tokens.
…
"This is my disciple."
In the alchemy place, while Wu Yuan was meditating on the body-refining deity with all his heart, Lord Kuachi was standing not far away.
He restrained all his aura and did not disturb Wu Yuan.
In the beginning, Lord Kuachi would give Wu Yuan guidance from time to time, but as time passed, Wu Yuan gradually no longer needed his guidance, but instead independently comprehended and deduced the basic units of life.
The foundation you gain through understanding and pondering on your own will often be stronger than the foundation given by others.
"My disciple."
"Looking at the entire history of the witch court, he is truly considered to be a top genius." Witch Lord Kuachi couldn't help but sigh: "You practice too fast, how could you get to this point so quickly."
He is the Lord of Life.
In terms of Alchemy, Weapons and many other aspects, although he is not as good as some of the heaven-defying beings in the witch court, at least he ranks first in the Cangfeng witchcraft world, which is very impressive.
Over the long years, he has seen countless so-called geniuses.
From a large number of classics, I have seen many peerless monsters, and even peerless geniuses in previous reincarnations of heaven and earth... Some peerless monsters are no less advanced than Wu Yuan in terms of Tao progress.
"But at least."
"In terms of analyzing the basic units of life, my disciple should be the best I have ever seen...I have never seen anyone faster than him among immortal cultivators." Lord Kuachi shook his head slightly.
If you are a life monarch, you have already understood the laws of life, and you are a monarch-level soul, you will naturally be extremely fast.
Different cultivation bases have different speeds of deduction and enlightenment.
But Wu Yuancai became an immortal in one calamity and a god in one calamity. This speed of enlightenment was too terrifying.
"A hundred times a thousand times faster than many Life Star Lords."
"It's not just because the influence of transformation is not that severe, it has something to do with Wu Yuan's talent... it should also be related to his understanding of the great avenue of time and space." Lord Kuachi guessed.
"Is it really so powerful to comprehend two avenues at the same time?" Lord Kuachi thought to himself.
He really felt that his disciple was great.
At the stage of cultivating immortals, it would be very exaggerated and dazzling to be able to condense the true meaning of one avenue, let alone two avenues?
Time and space, creation.
The two are closely related. One is the origin of all things, and the other is the basis for the evolution of all spirits.
"but."
"This Dark Lord is quite interesting."
"Since you have to choose a successor, why would you choose some immortals and gods?" Lord Kuachi frowned slightly.
Just like many Taoist monarchs feel something is wrong.
Lord Kuachi also sensed something was wrong.
"Not to mention choosing the best peerless evildoer." Lord Kuachi said secretly: "At least, you have to choose a star king who suits your own path."
He couldn't understand the Dark Lord's thoughts.
"What did this Dark Demon Lord do back then? How could he provoke a great being like Tao Master to come and kill him?" Lord Kuachi shook his head slightly.
He is very aware of the huge difference between a monarch and a Taoist master.
It stands to reason that those supreme beings would not take action against the monarch easily. This is already a difference between two dimensions.
The monarch is just a top existence trapped in the reincarnation of heaven and earth.
However, the supreme beings have transcended and are truly free from any constraints.
"but."
"My disciple may have attracted the Tao Master's attention." Lord Kuachi thought: "The inheritance of the Black Demon Lord was deliberately left by the Tao Master of Time and Space. Even if he gets it, it should be okay."
Kua Chi Monarch naturally believed that Wu Yuan would most likely be inherited by the Black Demon Monarch.
...Time flies, and Wu Yuan continues to practice.
Occasionally, Lord Kuachi would give him guidance, but mainly based on his own understanding.
In the blink of an eye, the second test lasted four hundred years.
In the Black Demon Blood Cave, the inheritance place where Wu Yuan is located, countless alchemy furnaces are lined up, and there is a practitioner in front of each alchemy furnace.
Of course, there are also many refining rooms and talisman rooms mixed in the Shangwandan Furnace.
Today, there are more than 1,500 strong people who have met the first requirement.
There are more than a hundred people who meet the second requirement.
All strong people are either deducing and comprehending, or they are actually refining elixirs and refining weapons.
this day.
"Wow!" A dazzling light suddenly shot into the sky from one of the forbidden spaces, immediately attracting the attention of all the powerful men.
"who is it?"
"What's wrong?"
"It seems to be where Xiang Fei is. Did she fulfill her request?" Tens of thousands of immortals and gods looked over, especially those who fulfilled the second request. Their expressions changed drastically.
"Senior Big Demon has come out."
"Senior Big Demon." Everyone's expressions changed. You must know that, except for the ancient longevity star Lord, Xiang Fei Tianxian was the first to achieve the first and second requirements. The Big Demon appeared once, and he did not do it after that.
Show up.
But now.
He showed up for the third time.
"I am very happy."
The Demon looked down at everyone and said slowly: "The second test, there are eleven testing places in total, nearly 200,000 testers for more than 400 years, and someone finally passed the second test."
"Xiang Fei, you are excellent." Da Mo looked at him.
"What?"
"The first of all places of trial?"
"Xiang Fei, a powerful person in the demon world?" There was an uproar, and many powerful people in the Tao world, such as Lord Gu Shou Xing and Xueyao Star, found it difficult to accept.
They have a higher understanding of Tao and a better foundation, and they have been receiving the best training from their respective forces for hundreds of years.
result.
Being the first to pass the test by a strong man from the demon world who is at the sixth level of immortality? It really makes them look too incompetent.
"Am I the first?"
"Among all the places of testing, the first one to pass the second test?" Xiang Fei's appearance was very ordinary, but at this moment she was extremely excited.
He didn't pay any attention to the countless envious and jealous glances.
"Xiang Fei, I give you three Black Demon Tokens." The Demon looked down at her and said calmly: "At the same time, you are also qualified to go to the third level of testing."
"I believe that you will gain a lot from this second test place and will help you break through quickly in the next test."
"Try to obtain five Black Magic Tokens as soon as possible."
"Yes." Xiang Fei said solemnly.
She was excited.
"My understanding of Tao has been progressing slowly, but in the past, I studied completely on my own and achieved certain achievements in many aspects such as Dan Dao, Weapon Dao, Formation, etc." Xiang Fei Tianxian secretly said: "This time I obtained the "Secret Code of Black Demons"
", which really made me understand the way forward."
Over hundreds of years, through studying the "Secret Code of Black Demons", Xiang Fei's accumulation over the past long years has been fully unearthed.
Xiang Fei Tianxian believes that even if he fails to seize the inheritance of the Dark Lord in the end, he can quickly break through and become the Star Lord in the future.
"Moreover, I already have a certain advantage, so I naturally have to work hard to fight for it." Xiang Fei, an immortal, also has a desire in his heart: "Although I am only a sixth-level immortal, the inheritance of the Black Demon Lord obviously not only tests my combat power, but I also have hope."
Who has no pursuit and desire in their heart to be able to cultivate to become an immortal or a god?
"I'll tell you all too."
"The test is divided into eight levels." The demon glanced at everyone: "The eighth level of test is the final inheritance test."
"That is to say, for the first seven tests, you must obtain twelve Black Demon Tokens before you are eligible to enter the eighth test."
"Although, starting from the second test, there is no time limit."
"But once someone passes the final inheritance test, and the remaining people still haven't obtained five Black Demon Tokens, they will all be wiped out." The demon said coldly.
There was silence.
All the immortals and gods listened and finally understood all the requirements of the Dark Lord's inheritance.
It turns out that there are eight tests in total.
In the first seven levels, you must obtain twelve Black Demon Orders before you are eligible to enter the eighth level of testing.
"Xiang Fei, you have entered the third level of testing." The demon said slowly.
Immediately afterwards, the big demon also disappeared.
…
"With seven tests, you need to obtain at least twelve Black Demon Tokens? Does that mean you have to be at the top of every test?" Wu Yuan thought to himself.
The news he just received also caught him off guard.
Naturally, plans have to change.
"wrong."
"If you can get three Black Magic Tokens for each level of the test, then as long as you pass the first four levels, you can get twelve Black Devil Tokens."
"You can go directly to the eighth level of testing." Wu Yuan realized this.
It is not necessary to pass all seven tests.
If you are good enough, you only need to perform the best in the first four tests.
"There can be no further delay."
"Now, the body-refining deity continues to analyze the basic units of life, and the qi-refining deity begins to try to refine elixirs." Wu Yuan was slow before because there were very few people who met the first requirement of the second test, less than two years old.
Thousands of people.
I think I still have plenty of time.
Therefore, make sure you are confident enough and then quickly conduct the three tests.
But now that all the rules are known and the situation is different, it is natural to pass the second test as soon as possible.
"The second test is not conducive to me. Even if I take the first path at the beginning, it will be difficult to compete with people like Xiang Fei Tianxian."
"But the subsequent test may not be like this." Wu Yuan secretly thought that it would be better to pass the second test as soon as possible.
but.
Although it has not yet reached his expectations, Wu Yuan has gone very far on the road of 'analyzing all things' after four hundred years of dedicated research.
You must know that Wu Yuan had only practiced for less than 1,300 years before and had achieved such achievements.
Four hundred years!
Even though the two main deities have become extremely powerful, they have tried their best to comprehend it, and the achievements can be imagined.
If Wu Yuan had not chosen to be distracted in analyzing all things, like the body-refining deity, he might have been able to deduce the Great Way of Creation to the fourth level of its true meaning.
"Now."
"More than a hundred people have passed the second test."
"I want to try as soon as possible to get the top 100 people to pass the test and obtain two Black Magic Tokens." Wu Yuan naturally made the change after thinking through it.
call!
After four hundred years of cultivation in the lotus position, Wu Yuan's Qi Refining Master finally stood up and came to the huge alchemy furnace.
Start selecting the first elixir material.
…
Wu Yuan's actions did not attract much attention. More than four hundred years later, he still failed to meet the first requirement, and most of the immortals and gods paid little attention to him.
Even the many major forces in the Taoist world did not pay much attention to him. They had already determined that Wu Yuan would spend a long, long time in the second test.
"When Mingjian passes the second test, I'm afraid the inheritance of the Dark Lord will be over." This is the consensus of many powerful beings.
"Xiang Fei was the first to break through, but her performance in the first test was average."
"We still have a good chance."
"Chong, Gu Shou, if you can capture three Black Magic Tokens in the second test, then you will have six Black Magic Tokens. Your advantage will actually be greater than that of Xiang Fei."
"clear."
Whether it is the many powerful people in the Taoist world or the more powerful people in the demonic world, they are all fighting.
…
The Black Demon Blood Cave is a mysterious place deep inside, surrounded by countless black mist.
Only in the center stood figures.
Some of these figures are as short as dwarfs, some are as tall as giants, and some are even animal-shaped.
The auras emitted are also different, some are extremely cold, some are as hot as stars, and some are ghostly and strange.
There are nine figures in total.
The big devil is standing in it.
The standard feature of these figures is that they are all shrouded in black robes, making it difficult for anyone except the big demon to see their faces clearly.
In front of them, there was a huge light screen projected, and the scene that appeared in the light screen was the scene of Wu Yuan trying to make alchemy.
"too poor."
"Four hundred years, not even the first requirement has been met." The short black-robed figure said in a hoarse voice.
"Great Demon, is this the successor of the monarch that you have specifically initiated the inheritance test?" The four-hoofed beast-shaped figure said with a powerful voice: "His foundation in the way of alchemy, weapon, and talisman is indeed poor, but no matter how bad it is, it will not be the best."
It shouldn’t be that we haven’t even met the first requirement for so many years.”
"Continue like this."
"The probability of him passing the eighth test is pitifully low." One after another black-robed figures spoke, their voices full of dissatisfaction.
"No hurries!"
"His talent is indeed very high, I believe in him." The demon glanced at the figures: "Besides, remember that the order to start the inheritance comes from the monarch."
"Mingjian has its own special characteristics."
Many figures in black robes were silent, just staring at the figure in white robes in the light curtain, waiting silently.
They seemed dissatisfied.
But they are dissatisfied because their expectations are too high, and they are too eager to emerge a peerless monster who will inherit the monarch's inheritance.
The greater the expectations, the greater the disappointment.
"Mingjian? Are you really that bad at alchemy and weaponry?" The demon stared at the light screen and frowned slightly.
…
Time passed, only ten years later.
"Wow!"
Another ray of light flashed into the sky, once again attracting the attention of all the powerful men.
"Gu Shou has met the third requirement and passed the second test." The demon appeared again and glanced at everyone: "Gu Shou is also the sixth person to pass the test among the eleven test places.
"
"The Lord of Ancient Longevity Stars."
"He obtained three Black Magic Orders in the first test."
"Now you have obtained three more Black Magic Tokens?"
"Doesn't it mean that he has obtained six Black Demon Tokens? The progress is too fast." All the immortals and gods are feeling the pressure, especially the top ones such as Xueyao Star Master and Red Devil Star Master.
…
Baixuan Palace Headquarters, inside one of the super large palaces.
There are thousands of immortals and gods in the palace, many of which have been specially isolated in an area.
In one of the areas, a star king who is good at the art of talismans is staying here with the original Lord of the Ancient Longevity Star.
Over the years, this star king has been pointing to the ancient longevity star master.
"Success!"
"The Lord of Ancient Longevity Stars."
"I got six black magic orders." Thousands of immortals and gods in the place where Baixuan Palace was being tested all looked at Lord Gushouxing in shock.
Half of them have not even met the first requirement.
suddenly.
Wow!
A figure shrouded in black flames appeared, and his pressure enveloped the entire temple.
"monarch."
"Monarch." Many star monarchs, immortals and gods in the temple all saluted respectfully.
"Gu Shou." Lord Bai Xuan's eyes fell on the Lord Gu Shou Star, and he showed a smile: "Very good, you are the first one from our Bai Xuan Palace to enter the third level of testing."
"You have captured six Black Magic Tokens, which gives you a huge advantage. You must work hard to enter the eighth level of testing as soon as possible."
"Regardless of final success or failure, as long as you can enter the eighth level of testing, your potential will be proven, and I will give you extremely high rewards."
"Yes." Lord Gu Longshou said respectfully.
He was also extremely excited.
If the monarch personally makes a promise to him, then the probability of him becoming a Star Lord in the future will naturally increase dramatically.
"Desperately!"
"This is my opportunity. I will try my best to win the inheritance of the Dark Lord." Lord Gu Longshou said secretly.
There is also endless desire in his heart.
...another three years have passed.
Buzz~
An inexplicable wave enveloped the forbidden space where Wu Yuan was.
"Congratulations, Ming Jian, for completing the first requirement." A cold voice sounded in Wu Yuan's mind: "Please continue with the second test."
Wow!
Wu Yuan put away the elixir that had just come out of the furnace, and followed the changes in the elixir furnace, forming a huge refining room.
This scene.
Some people also noticed it.
"Ming Jian, have you completed the first requirement?"
"His understanding of the Tao is comparable to that of Xingjun. It took more than four hundred years to complete the first one? It's too slow."
"It's indeed too slow." Many immortals and gods couldn't help but shake their heads and didn't pay much attention.
In their view, at least in the second test, Wu Yuan was not a threat.
As time passes.
More and more people have met the first and second requirements, and even several have emerged one after another to meet the third requirement and passed the test!
Among them is the Xueyao Star Master, and she has once again attracted attention.
Because, she was equivalent to getting six Black Magic Tokens.
When the second trial period lasted to 480 years, six people in this place of trial had already entered the third trial place.
this day.
Buzz~
Another wave of fluctuation enveloped the forbidden space where Wu Yuan was, and the weapon refining room he was in also transformed into a talisman room.
"Um?"
"What? Mingjian met the second requirement? So quickly?" The gods and immortals not far from Wu Yuan were shocked.
"It's not that fast. Now there are more than 150 people who have met the second requirement." Someone was confused.
"What do you know? The test lasted for more than four hundred years before he met the first requirement. How long has it passed before he met the second requirement?"
"It only took him less than fifty years to complete the first requirement to the second requirement, which is the shortest time."
"Shorter than the time it took Tianxian Xiang Fei!"
More than four hundred years have passed.
The two words "Mingjian" have once again attracted the attention of countless immortals and gods in the place of trial. This kind of progress is really too fast.
To know.
At the beginning of the second test, Mingjian was recognized as having the most potential and hope.
..."First analyze the essence of all things."
"Let's think about the way of elixirs, weapons, and talismans. It's really easy." Wu Yuan smiled.
It's like building a large excavator out of raw materials first, and then digging out a small hill. It's naturally faster.
"The way of talismans?"
"Within fifty years, we should be able to complete the requirements." Wu Yuan was immersed in the drawing of the talisman.
