Yang Hui smiled and said: "Brother Fang, don't belittle yourself. Don't pay too much attention to the so-called exam. The written test is meaningless. Our empire mainly focuses on military merit. No matter how powerful the pen is, it means nothing if you cut off the head with a sword.
Look at the 200 people from Xidu Province who have been admitted to the military academy. The ones here now are just you and me. The others still need to study hard in the military academy. They might not be able to step into Xiantian and completely lose the precious opportunity."
Hearing this, Fang Ning was stunned. Liu Suifeng said that many people only join the Twelve Heavens after reaching the innate realm. Why did Yang Hui say that by stepping into the innate realm, he would lose a precious opportunity?
Fang Ning didn't understand and asked: "Brother Yang, you said that if you enter Xiantian, you will lose opportunities. What opportunities are you asking? I heard that many people entered Xiantian and then applied to be admitted to Twelve Days?"
Yang Hui smiled coldly, glanced sideways at the innate experts flying with them, and said:
"Everyone in the world is stupid. Many people are afraid that if they join the Twelve Heavens, they will not be able to enter the innate realm. They will never be able to leave the Twelve Heavens for the rest of their lives and will never be allowed to leave the mountain. This life is over. So they all become innate strong men in military schools or in their families.
, will join for twelve days.
They think that by entering the innate realm and studying for twelve days, they can advance and retreat freely. However, without the determination to turn back, the belief that they will become virtuous if they fail, and the belief that they will never leave the mountain. If they want to stand out and become an elite disciple, it is just like a dream!
Opportunities and risks coexist. There is an unspoken rule in the Twelve Days. Disciples who are not promoted to Xiantian within the Twelve Days will always be ordinary disciples. They will never be able to get the essence of the Twelve Days, and all they learn is superficial.
They just studied for a while in twelve days, wasting the precious opportunity. After coming out, they will be some kind of commander. They will spend their whole life in the innate realm. If they can reach the Condensation Stage and become the lord of a city, they will never be able to understand the sword's intention. In the end, they will still
It’s not a wasted life.”
Fang Ning nodded when he heard this. According to Gu Tiannan's memory, it was indeed the case!
Yang Hui continued: "You may not know how difficult it is to enter the Twelve Days. Only those who top the exams in major provinces every year are eligible to be admitted to the Twelve Days. Last year, in order to avoid the god of plague, I deliberately took a year off from school.
This year we are able to enter the twelfth day.”
It turns out that he took a year off from school last year, so he is nineteen years old this year, the same age as Fang Ning. But who is the God of Plague?
Fang Ning asked casually: "God of Plague? Brother Yang, who is he?"
Yang Hui replied gloomily: "You will know by then that a talent that comes out once in a million years, a genius among geniuses, compared with him and you, are just like the sun and fireflies."
As if he didn't want to talk about this person, Yang Hui changed the subject and said: "Brother Fang, don't think that if we join the Twelve Days, we will have nothing to worry about. The twelve days of study and practice are full of competitive tests.
The empire believes in the principle that the strong will always be strong. Only the best can enjoy the best treatment. Therefore, we have to face countless competition tests. Only by striving to the top and achieving good results can we enjoy the best treatment and obtain more resources.
And this Kuotianmen is the first hurdle. If you can't pass it, you have to go back where you came from and go home to farm."
This topic immediately caught Fang Ning's attention, and he hurriedly asked: "Brother Yang, please give me some advice? What is Kuotianmen?"
While the two were chatting, the flying true energy suddenly swept through everyone. Twenty-four people among the crowd glowed, as if they resonated with the twelve heavenly pillars in front of them, and disappeared instantly. These people were all innate masters.
There are only eleven people like Fang Ning left here, among whom there are four innate experts.
Fang Ning looked at it for a moment, and Yang Hui said from the side: "Don't be surprised. They who disappeared have already joined the Twelve Days disciples. As long as they become innate and have not graduated, we will have a month's holiday every year to go home to visit relatives. We will be ten
One person is the new member of this class."
Just as Yang Hui was speaking, a strange energy suddenly crossed time and space and enveloped the remaining eleven people in the blink of an eye. Under this energy, Fang Ning felt that his eyesight went white, and everything around him began to blur.
In an instant, the whole person turned into a stream of light, flying towards the brightest one among the countless light points that formed the twelve celestial pillars in the distance.
The light in front of his eyes gradually disappeared, and everything around him could be seen clearly. At this time, Fang Ning found that he was in a huge square. The entire square was rectangular, one thousand feet long and five hundred feet wide, and was paved with smooth marble.
It is like a mirror. It is surrounded by white marble railings, and there are strange thunder towers around the square, in which thunder and lightning flash.
The square seems to be suspended in the sky. There is no sky, no earth, no sun or moon. Outside the square, there is endless clouds and mist. It is impossible to see the things in the clouds and mist. In the clouds and mist, cyan lightning flashes faintly and continuously.
There are twelve fire altars around the square, burning raging fires that never go out all year round. It is because of their existence that the square is illuminated like daylight, and the clouds and mist dissipate immediately when they approach the fire altar. It seems that they protect them.
The square is not engulfed by clouds and fog.
On one side of the square is a long white jade staircase, which seems to rise out of thin air and stretches towards the sky. It is visible to the naked eye. It can only be seen for a distance of a hundred feet. After passing a hundred feet, it enters a cloud and disappears without a trace. Occasionally, the wind blows and blows away the clouds.
You can vaguely see this long white jade staircase, going straight up into the sky.
It stretches on and on and is incalculable.
There were about 200 people standing in this square. Among them, Yang Hui and others were moved here. Fang Ning quickly estimated that there were a total of 11 people from the four provinces of the Jue Shark, and a total of 30 people from the Tianluo Empire.
According to this ratio, there are about a hundred candidates in each province of the Tianluo Empire among the six provinces.
Observing carefully, half of the people in the square were wearing strange clothes. It seemed that the extra hundred or so people were not citizens of the Tianluo Empire.
People divide into groups, and birds of a feather flock together. In this unfamiliar environment, the eleven people who arrived here on a bow boat couldn't help but gather together to form a small team. The others did the same, forming different teams.
There are also some people, loners, who are proudly alone, wandering around the square alone.
Seeing the long white jade staircase rising into the sky, Yang Hui frowned and said, "It turns out that this year's test is the Qingyun Sword Ladder. This is not going to be easy!"
Fang Ning was beside him and asked: "Brother Yang, what does this Qingyun Sword Ladder mean? Is this the Kuotianmen?"
After hearing Fang Ning's inquiry, several other people also looked at Yang Hui. With him as the center, everyone was together.
Yang Hui said: "Actually, there are many ways to test the so-called Kuotianmen, and the Qingyun Sword Ladder in front of us is one of them.
Although the Twelve Sword Sects are named after swords, most of them do not use swords, but use various other magical weapons, because the purpose of the Twelve Sword Sects' cultivation is sword intention. The sword is in the heart, and the energy flows through the mountains and rivers.
I don’t care about the heavy sword!
But not everyone can understand this sword intent. It requires talent. Although this talent is very common, 90 out of 100 people have it, but there are still 10 people who do not have this talent.
So before everyone joins the Twelve Heavens, there is such a test, the Kuotianmen! Those disciples who do not have the ability to comprehend the sword will be excluded!
Although only one or two of the twelve disciples of the Kuotian Sect can comprehend the true meaning of the sword in their lifetime, you must have this talent. Even if it takes a lifetime, you will not be able to comprehend the true meaning of the sword. This is the most basic talent. You must have it!”
Sword Intent?! Fang Ning couldn't help but think of Fu Changkong's last blow.
