As the bell rang, Big Penglai Island projected a moon-white mirror light from eight directions on the island.
These eight mirror lights intersected and converged at 360 nodes on the island, and finally merged together in the sky above Penglai Island to form a huge three-dimensional glass mirror face.
This face seems to be reflected in the air through thousands of mirrors at different angles, and you can clearly see the edges and corners like countless mirrors.
His face was pale, his eyes were like deep pools, and a dark golden light appeared under his eyes as he turned.
Lord Shiraishi!
Sequence Array: Mirror World
...
In the Lingxiao Palace.
Zhang Ke was currently sitting on the leader's seat, using his spiritual thoughts to explore the island.
The thirty-seven True Lords of Yuanshen in the door at the bottom of the steps are all here.
Opening the mountain gate and recruiting casual cultivators is something that has not happened in the blue world for thousands of years.
At this moment, there are still many people outside the ‘Tai Chi Circle’ island chain who are paying close attention to this place.
Everyone was extra careful, fearing that something unexpected might happen.
Zhang Ke even placed some of the invited friends in the ‘Star Reaching Tower’ to prevent unexpected events.
Except for Lord Shiraishi, who presided over the opening of the mountain gate, everyone else's eyes were constantly observing the scene manifested by the [Xumi Tian Eye Formation] in the sky of the hall.
In fact, the Great Penglai Island can be completely enveloped by the divine thoughts of the True Monarch of Yuanshen.
But only Qingmei and Biluo laid a spiritual net over the island as a warning, and everyone else was mentally prepared to fight at any time.
In addition, the palace also lists one hundred sub-arrays with the [Xumi Tian Eye Formation] to manifest the situation in the one hundred academy palaces on the island.
Thousands of Jindan Realm real people formed into a group of ten to monitor various schools.
Their mission is to ensure that no practitioner dies unexpectedly during this trial and to deal with various emergencies.
Zhang Ke's eyes moved slightly, and he looked at the solemn-looking Lord Baishi who was sitting below him, and secretly admired him in his heart.
‘The ‘mirror world and earth’ magic circle of Baishi is quite a bit like one method giving rise to ten thousand methods!'
Lord Baishi is the most proficient in magic changes. In some fields, even Zhang Ke is inferior to him.
He did not have the divine channel method like Zhang Kena's to directly project himself to the outside, but he found another way to operate the 'Mirror Image Heaven and Earth' sequence of magic arrays to project his own image in the void through a series of combinations.
‘This combination change seems like this magic circle can be applied to the ‘One-Year Rune Algorithm’!’
Zhang Ke looked at the scene in the [Xumitian Eye Formation] and thought to himself thoughtfully.
...
At the same time, a huge mirrored face suddenly appeared above Da Penglai Island, attracting the attention of hundreds of thousands of practitioners below.
I saw the hundred-foot-long face composed of different angular mirrors turning his eyes to look down.
His lips moved slightly, and the clear voice immediately reached everyone's ears.
"My name is Shiraishi, and I am the person in charge of this selection.
Presumably everyone present has traveled through mountains and rivers and worked tirelessly to get here.
As a member of the ‘Xiantian Yiqi Nan Sect’, on behalf of the Nan Sect, I would like to thank everyone for their recognition of our sect.”
As he spoke, the scene of Lord Shiraishi cupping his hands and saluting appeared below the prismatic mirror image in the air.
When the hundreds of thousands of practitioners below saw this scene, they couldn't help but feel a little stir in their hearts.
Most of them entered Penglai Island a few months ago.
Many of them want to observe in advance to see if the ‘Xiantian Yiqi Southern Sect’ is worth joining.
But what they saw with their eyes made everyone doubt whether Penglai Island really existed.
Whether it is the towering buildings that stand like a fairy palace, the spiritual plants and flowers everywhere, or the harmonious relationship between Nanzong disciples and ordinary people, it is very surprising.
And when many practitioners got to know the island in depth, they were so shocked that they almost lost their minds.
From the basic necessities of life of ordinary people to the various complete facilities on the island, everything has refreshed their understanding of the world.
Compared with this place, the place where I lived in the past was as crude as primitive people.
Even though they are all practitioners, they are extremely jealous of the ordinary people living here.
wonderland!
This is the only feeling that many practitioners have after having a general understanding of Penglai Island.
After slowly getting used to life on Da Penglai Island, they never wanted to leave here.
At the same time, through the Di Bao published by Nanzong, we also deepened our understanding of Nanzong bit by bit.
Among them is information about the person manifesting in the sky at this moment.
Baishi Zhenjun, the "Xiantian Yiqi Nan Sect" Dingzhou lineage Yuanshen Zhenjun, is proficient in incantation, astrology, and magic formations, and is one of the four major formation masters of the Nan Sect.
But the majestic True Lord Yuanshen would actually salute a young monk like himself in the innate realm.
This can't help but make many practitioners feel a sense of sincerity and fear. At the same time, they also feel a sense of satisfaction, and their favorable impression of Nanzong has increased a lot.
After Lord Shiraishi bowed his hands and saluted, he continued:
“However, not everyone can join this sect.
First of all, our sect will conduct a preliminary selection of everyone. Practitioners with the following three conditions will not be allowed to join this sect..."
Lord Shiraishi's eyes were shining with dark golden light as he looked down.
The hundreds of thousands of practitioners below also held their breaths and looked up at the sky.
Yu Tingzhang raised his head, not daring to be distracted in the slightest, and concentrated all his attention on listening to True Lord Baishi's speech.
His hands were folded in his sleeves, and the wooden pipe he was holding tightly in his right hand was stained with sweat.
I could only hear the voice of Lord Shiraishi coming continuously in my ears.
"First, any practitioner who violates the Thirteen Death Laws in the spiritual world is not allowed to join this sect!
Second, any disciple who belongs to other sects is not allowed to join this sect without a severance contract issued by the sect where they belong!
Third, all secret spies belonging to various sects are not allowed to join our sect!"
Yu Tingzhang's heart was moved, he didn't expect that the 'Xiantian Yiqi Nanzong' would tell the matter so straightforwardly.
Many practitioners standing around him also had strange expressions on their faces, and someone whispered:
"I heard that more than 100,000 people participated in the selection this time. How can people find out the spies of other sects with just the "Innate Qi of the Southern Sect"."
Someone else said:
"That's right, since they dare to send in, they must be well prepared. I don't believe that Nanzong can find everyone.
In my opinion, Nanzong said this deliberately, just to scare those people with evil intentions!"
"Yes, I think that should be the case."
"..."
Yu Tingzhang sneered secretly in his heart, since Nanzong dared to publicly warn, he must have means to screen.
By saying this deliberately now, I am clearly trying to find an excuse to prepare for future purges.
Lord Shiraishi looked at the expressions of the many practitioners below and naturally guessed what they were thinking.
He spoke solemnly:
"Part of the trials for this selection will be conducted in the illusion, and then the true master of our sect's Yuanshen will conduct a heart-searching test.
Therefore, everyone present please think clearly whether you have the ability to deceive True Monarch Yuanshen’s questioning.
Here, I will give you one last warning.
Anyone who falls into the above three situations please take care of yourself."
After a brief pause, Lord Shiraishi continued:
"When the trial begins, everyone can enter the academy to undergo the trial.
People who fall into the above three situations can voluntarily withdraw after entering the trial, and can leave with others after the selection is completed.
We promise that we will never leak anyone’s information and ensure your safety.”
At this moment, the practitioners below have a new understanding of the ‘Xiantian Yiqi Southern Sect’.
Speaking of this, Nanzong can be regarded as the most benevolent and righteous person.
After everyone digested the meaning of his words, Lord Shiraishi continued:
"This trial is divided into three stages. Our sect will conduct trials from aspects such as strength, character, moral character, and coordination.
The trial venue is the academy in front of everyone."
After hearing this, Yu Tingzhang couldn't help but look back at the thirteenth-floor academy behind him.
There were countless testers around him who had the same movements as him.
At this moment, the huge ring-shaped academy became the object of everyone's attention.
If you pass, you will officially become a member of the ‘Xiantian Yiqi Southern Sect’.
If you fail, you may have no choice but to leave sadly.
Everyone's mood couldn't help but become complicated.
The clear and clear voice of Lord Shiraishi continued to be heard in my ears.
"Okay, everyone must have some understanding of this selection by now.
Here, I sincerely hope that everyone can successfully pass the assessment and join our department.
Join us and walk hand in hand on the path of spiritual practice."
After saying this, Lord Shiraishi took a deep breath, looked down and said in a deep voice:
"I announce that the entrance trial of our 'Xiantian Yiqi South Sect' has begun!"
As Lord Shiraishi announced the start of the trial, one hundred academic palaces on the Great Horai Island were activated at the same time.
“Buzz——!”
One hundred dark golden light pillars rose from each academy, and the eight closed portals of the academy opened one by one.
"Gululu——!"
The sound like the turning of a stone mill resounded over the Great Penglai Island.
A disciple of the ‘Xiantian Yiqi Southern Sect’ wearing a moon-white robe stood neatly around, while in the sky were disciples of the ‘Wind Catcher’ wearing a black robe.
In addition, there is also a protector wearing gold and silver armor who will shuttle among the crowd.
The entrance trial is the most important thing for the 'Xiantian Yiqi Southern Sect' at the moment. Around each academy, there are Jindan Realm masters leading many disciples to maintain order.
Yu Tingzhang stood in the queue, following the footsteps of the practitioners in front of him.
Approximately 120,000 practitioners participated in this trial.
One hundred academic palaces are spread out equally, and each academy has to accommodate more than a thousand practitioners.
Each academy has eight portals for people to enter and exit, so Yu Tingzhang quickly followed the flow of people into the bottom floor of the academy.
The ground floor of the Academy is extremely open, and the interior space is much larger than it appears from the outside.
A thought flashed through Yu Tingzhang's mind: 'Space expansion!'
This does not surprise Yu Tingzhang. It would be surprising if a sect did not even have this means.
In the middle of the empty hall, there is a ten-foot-sized circular array that is shining with five colors of light.
Around this formation, four white-robed Southern Sect disciples were guarded from four directions.
To his expectation, he found that there were not many practitioners at the bottom of the academy at this time, only about two hundred people.
'Where has everyone else gone?'
A question mark flashed in Yu Tingzhang's mind.
At this time, there were more than a dozen Nan Sect disciples wearing white robes around, checking the number plates in everyone's hands one by one.
Seeing this scene, Yu Tingzhang took out his number plate while thinking.
Each trialist can get a number plate representing his or her identity when registering.
The number plate is made of copper and is three inches in size. The logo of 'Xiantian Yiqi Nanzong' is engraved in cloud seals on the front, and there is a numerical number on the back.
‘Ding 17-Chou 38’
This number represents Yu Tingzhang.
As if he had guessed what he was thinking, a white-robed golden elixir master said in a deep voice:
"There is a teleportation restriction in this academy, and people entering from different directions will enter different areas.
Everyone can enter the magic circle in the middle of the hall in order to conduct the trial."
A Nanzong disciple checked the number plate in Yu Tingzhang's hand and pointed at the magic circle in the middle.
"Enter from the east side!"
Yu Tingzhang obediently followed some people to the east side of the array and lined up.
More than two hundred people were divided into four queues, with only a few dozen people in each group, so everyone could clearly see everything around them.
Every few minutes, four trialists stepped into the trial circle from four directions, disappearing with a dark golden light.
But what made Yu Tingzhang a little confused was that he only saw people entering the trial circle, but no one came out.
'Strange, did they all pass the test?'
'Or... died in the trial?'
Yu Tingzhang couldn't help feeling a little panicked.
What people fear most is random thoughts, and the testers waiting around them also had various speculations, and for a while, the hall was filled with whispers.
"Don't panic, the entrance and exit of the trial are not at the same time.
Therefore, no matter whether they pass the trial or not, those who enter will not appear here.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! In addition, this trial is being watched by the True Master Yuan Shen of our sect at all times, so generally speaking there will be no surprises."
After hearing this, both Yu Tingzhang and the other testers were shocked.
'What I'm afraid of is accidents!'
But at this moment, no one can think too much and can only prepare secretly.
The reminder from the Jindan Master continued to ring in his ears.
"There are thirteen floors in the Academy. The trial starts from the second floor. There will be some summoned creatures on each floor.
Such as warriors, Tao soldiers, or mechanical puppets, etc., everyone can continue to challenge based on their own strength.
The higher the level of challenge, the higher the final score will be.
But everyone must be cautious when launching a challenge.
If you find that you cannot fight against your opponent, you should quickly enter the blue aperture of the trial level. That is the only safe place.
Similarly, as long as it enters the blue aperture, it means that the test of strength is over.
Friendly reminder: Although there is the secret protection of the True Monarch of Yuanshen, sometimes it may not be possible in time to prevent tragedy from happening.
So please do what you can!"
After explaining the challenge rules, the Jindan Master said no more.
No matter how tempted the other testers were, this person just smiled but did not reveal any more information.
The queue was moving very fast, and as there were fewer and fewer people in front of the queue, Yu Tingzhang's heart started to beat wildly.
After a while, there was no one else in front of him, and he looked at the shining circular magic circle in front of him.
Yu Tingzhang took a deep breath and stepped into the formation.
The moment he stepped into the magic circle, Yu Tingzhang's eyes were filled with five-colored light. The dazzling light made him close his eyes.
When he opened his eyes the next second, the environment in front of him had suddenly changed.
He found himself in a closed stone chamber.
The length and width of the stone chamber are about three feet each, and the top is about two feet above the ground.
There is a runic lamp on the surrounding walls and on the top that is shining faintly, and there is a blue halo about five feet in size under the feet.
But at this moment, the halo is slightly dim, and it is obviously not activated.
Yu Tingzhang looked across and saw a wooden puppet standing two feet away.
