The figure flashed, and Ye Qian appeared outside Bai Feng's cave. Bai Feng was still sitting cross-legged and concentrating, completely unaware that his sword had been lost and recovered just now, which added a bit of blood.
Ye Qian clapped his hands and was very satisfied with the way he had set the fire. Next, it would be up to him to see the attitude of the higher-ups at Dongxuan Sect.
Ye Qian returned to the medicine field quietly. No one knew that Zhang Qi, the most outstanding figure among the outer disciples of Dongxuan Sect, had turned into a corpse.
The sky is getting whiter and a new day has arrived. For Dongxuan Sect, it is a very unusual day. Especially for the outer disciples, this day's competition will be their chance to stand out and be valued by the sect. If
Being able to perform well in the competition may save them ten years of hard work!
After all, cultivation relies on resources, and the sect's resources are tilted towards those disciples who have development prospects. As for those disciples who have no future, the sect will not give much care at all. Most of them belong to the two categories.
There is no mutual debt. Disciples do not get resources from the sect without doing anything. They need to complete tasks in exchange for certain resources.
Generally speaking, promising disciples receive key care from the sect, while those with no future are equivalent to working for the sect.
Therefore, on this day, countless outer sect disciples are all gearing up to make a splash today and show their strongest side in the hope of being appreciated by the sect.
On Qingluan Mountain, there is a wide square with a radius of about tens of feet. This is the place where Dongxuanmen holds important affairs. The outer disciples chose this place for the competition. The sky has just released the white fish belly, and the square is already overcrowded.
.
Of course, those who came were all outer disciples. Some of them stood silently, hoping to adjust their state at the last moment. Some were in small groups, talking a lot. Some said that so-and-so was the favorite, and some said
So-and-so may be a dark horse, and those who are talking about it are basically just here to watch the excitement.
There are thousands of people in Dongxuan Sect. In addition to a thousand or so servants, there are thousands of outer sect disciples. There are three to four hundred real inner sect disciples, while the core disciples are only a few dozen.
Among the thousands of people, there are those who are positive and positive, and of course there are also those who are just eating and waiting to die.
In any case, thousands of people gathered together, which was an extraordinary occasion. When the sun appeared halfway in the eastern sky, a group of deacons and elders wearing moon-white robes appeared in the square. Their expressions were solemn, and they were separated under a high platform.
Sit down in two lines.
With the arrival of the deacons and elders, the disciples in the square did not dare to make any noise and gradually became quiet. An elder came out and waved slowly. Suddenly, a golden light fell from the sky, and this golden light went directly towards the center of the square.
He fell down, but there was no disciple there. Obviously everyone knew that you couldn't just stand around in the middle of the square.
There seemed to be a gentle collision, the golden light dissipated, and a high platform with a height of three feet and a length of ten feet appeared in the center of the square. This high platform was obviously not simple, as it was filled with brilliance and turned out to be a magic weapon.
Obviously, this magic weapon is used as a test platform for this big competition. Think about it, although the outer disciples do not have a glimpse of the Dao realm, the more powerful ones are basically at the peak of the Qi Control realm, and even half-step to the Dao realm.
He is a powerful man. Once such a cultivator gets into a fight, an ordinary stone platform may not be able to withstand it at all.
"Today is the day of the competition for the outer disciples of my Dongxuan Sect. The rules are very simple. I believe you all know it, but I still want to say a few more words." The deacon elder who summoned the high platform said: "The first test is very simple.
It’s very simple, as long as you can still stand after a quarter of an hour, you are qualified to compete on stage!”
With a buzzing sound, the outer disciples below began to whisper among themselves. Even the disciples who had experienced the Grand Competition could not remain calm at this time. And those who had just joined the Dongxuan Sect were even more baffled that this first test was actually like this.
Simple?
"Haha, simple? Brother, you will know in a moment how extraordinary this is." Someone said to the new disciple next to him: "Don't even mention standing. If you don't pee your pants later, it will be considered good."
"Ah? What's going on?" the newcomer asked cutely, but the old disciple was too lazy to say more. After all, everyone present was actually a competitor.
The commotion didn't last long, only a bird chirping was heard. The disciples all looked up and saw a bird monster that was three to four feet in size flying from the top of Qingluan Mountain. But this was not the main thing.
There were actually two people standing on the back of this big bird.
Both of these two people are quite old. They are wearing bright yellow robes and are very noble. They are just like emperors in the world. The expressions of these two people are different. One of them has a kind smile on his face and looks very friendly, and the other one is very kind.
With a straight face, a vague aura of iron blood rushed towards his face.
"It's the deputy sect master and the chief elder of the execution hall!" Someone exclaimed in a low voice. It was obvious that the two people who came had extremely high status in Dongxuan Sect.
"Both of these two are powerful people at the third level of the Dao Realm. I didn't expect that this time the competition would be hosted by the two of them."
The amiable person was Deputy Sect Zhang Tielin. After he landed, he smiled and waved his hands and said: "Seeing you, I saw the future of my Dongxuan Sect. You all perform well in the competition, outstanding Renzong
There will definitely be generous rewards!" Then he looked at Li Shan, the elder of the execution hall, smiled and said: "Leave this first test to Elder Li."
Li Shan, the chief elder of the punishment hall, did not speak and nodded. Zhang Tielin did not take it seriously. Li Shan has always had this temperament and cannot get close to anyone. Otherwise, he would not be able to be the just, selfless and decisive leader of the execution hall.
Elder.
"For a quarter of an hour, those who are still standing will advance to the finals!" Li Shan's voice was loud, but with a cold aura. After hearing this, the faces of the disciples all changed drastically. Unexpectedly, it was the elder of the execution hall who
Come for a first try!
"What's going on with this first test?"
"Yeah, how did you do it, with thousands of people doing it at the same time?"
Some newcomers were extremely confused, but before asking the question and waiting for the answer, they suddenly felt a pressure coming towards their faces. This pressure was simply indescribable, as if a huge mountain was suddenly pressing on them, and this was not even
The most important thing is that what follows is a frightening killing intent. This killing intent is so strong that it feels like someone is about to stab his chest with a sword.
They endured unimaginable pressure on their bodies, and were even mentally tortured by murderous intent. This unheard-of test came to these thousands of outer disciples in an instant.
The caster of the spell is actually a powerful person at the third level of the Peeping Realm, Li Shan, the Great Elder of the Punishment Hall!
In just a moment, many people were caught off guard. They were unable to resist the terrible pressure and the mental murderous intention, and sat down on the ground with a plop. In just this moment, at least half of them were eliminated.
They couldn't persist even for a moment, one was because of insufficient cultivation, and the other was because of lack of firm will.
This initial test sounds simple, but in fact it is not. It can comprehensively test the disciples' cultivation and will, and these two are of course the most important to the immortal cultivators.
Although there are thousands of people, the strongest among these people is at the peak of the Qi Control Realm. In front of Li Shan, who is at the third level of the Peeping Dao Realm, he is like an ant. With just a slight release of aura and pressure, these disciples are unable to do anything.
persist in.
There are also people who, after persisting for a few minutes, can no longer resist and fall to the ground with pale faces. Such people are because of insufficient cultivation or weak willpower, but they are much stronger than the people who fell down in an instant.
.
However, it is obvious that such a person is not enough to be valued by the top brass of Dongxuan Sect.
Time passes slowly. For a cultivator, a quarter of an hour is not too short. Maybe it is just a matter of closing your eyes and adjusting your breath, which is more than a quarter of an hour. But at this time, a quarter of an hour is like hundreds of millions of years.
It's so long and long...
Half an hour passed, and the crowds of people in the square were now filled with mourners. Some of the disciples who had tried so hard to hold on could not persevere in the end, and even fainted when they fell to the ground. What's more,
What's more, he thought very highly of himself, but persisted blindly, which actually caused the energy and blood in his body to become unstable. When he fell, he spurted blood from his mouth, and he lay exhausted on the ground, which was obviously an internal injury.
But these did not attract the attention of the deacon elders, Li Shan and Zhang Tielin. They only looked at the disciples who were still standing. Deputy Sect Master Tielin was even more relaxed and leisurely, holding a cup of tea and tasting it slowly.
He stood there and ignored the competition. Because among the outer disciples, he only valued one, that was his nephew Zhang Qi, and he was also very confident that Zhang Qi was the number one among the outer disciples, without exception.
Time passed slowly, and people kept falling down because they couldn't hold on. Li Shan's pressure was not static, but slowly increased with time. It was like boiling a frog in warm water. Maybe some disciples thought they could do it at first.
He endured it, but it gradually became more and more difficult to resist. When it finally exceeded his ability to bear, all the pressure came at once, and he could only give up and lie on the ground.
When the time approached a quarter of an hour, there were only dozens of scattered people in the originally crowded square.
However, this was not the end. When it was about to reach the quarter of an hour, Li Shan suddenly snorted. This snort sounded nothing to others, but in the ears of the disciples who were still standing, it seemed like a sound.
Thunder exploded!
It has to be said that these disciples who were able to persevere to the end are people with very strong cultivation and willpower. But even so, some of them are trying to persevere. Some people have obviously reached their limit, but they still
With such a breath, he hung on tightly and refused to fall down.
It's a pity... The cold snort from the explosion instantly defeated their persistence. At least a dozen people's expressions suddenly changed, and they spurted blood and fell to the ground with a pop of blood, unconscious.
Finally, after a quarter of an hour, there were only eighteen people left standing in the square!
