It was in the evening at this time, and large swathes of gorgeous sunset-like clouds rolled endlessly in the air. From time to time, strands of light fell from the clouds and landed on the hills of more than a hundred feet, rendering all the buildings as if they were covered with cloth.
A layer of light golden haze.
Somewhere in the center among the buildings is a huge white jade square.
On the ground of the square, light white clouds and mist are suspended, and standing on it feels like standing on the clouds.
In the middle of the square, there is a huge white jade platform, resplendent and magnificent. The three characters "Dengxian Tai" are engraved on the jade platform, emitting bursts of white glow.
At this moment, six people, three men, three women, were standing on the white jade platform.
The six of them are all young, and they are all outstandingly handsome people.
Among the three women, the one in the middle is dressed in white as snow, with a graceful figure and an unparalleled appearance, but her expression is vaguely dull, like a snow fairy.
The other person was dressed in aqua clothes, with a graceful figure, picturesque eyebrows, and a fluttering hairband. Her appearance was not much inferior to that of the woman in white.
The two girls are Ximen Xue and Zhong Xiu.
The last girl in purple robe is tall and her appearance is much inferior to Ximen Xue and Zhong Xiu, but she exudes a heroic spirit, which does not have a special charm.
The three men are all handsome and handsome. In the middle is a young man wearing a green Taoist robe and carrying a long green sword on his back. His figure is as straight as a javelin, and he looks like he is about to collapse.
Immovable and majestic.
Next to him is a young man with red clothes and red hair. Some red scale-like patterns can be faintly seen on his face, which seems to have some alien blood.
There was also a young man in a purple robe, handsome and handsome, with a red cloud embroidered on his sleeves.
Anyone who is familiar with the major sects of the Lushan Dynasty knows that this red cloud symbol is the symbol of the Moyun Sect of the Lushan Dynasty, which is also the sect of one of the previous immortal envoys from the lower realm.
Although the three men looked straight ahead, their peripheral vision peeked at the three stunning beauties beside them from time to time.
It's a pity that Ximen Xue and the other three people didn't even look at the three men.
Near the high platform, countless spectators gathered, looking at the three people on the high platform with excited expressions and talking about it.
At the Immortal Ascension Auction held by the Tianwu Chamber of Commerce, the Mingyue Cult summoned undead creatures and caused a catastrophe to Tianyu City. There were many young talents from various sects who participated that day, and then they all died. The participation in the Immortal Ascension Conference
The number of people has decreased by almost half.
For this matter, the majesty of the Tongtian Immortal Sect has been questioned like never before. Many sects and aristocratic families have made accusations and asked the Tongtian Immortal Sect to give an explanation. After all, no matter which one of those disciples, they are the immortals that the sects and aristocratic families have placed high hopes on.
No one will be willing to accept a genius who encounters disaster.
At this time, the Tongtian Immortal Sect also revealed its profound heritage as the largest sect in the Lushan Dynasty. Not only did it launch a large-scale purge immediately, but in just one month, 100 people in the thirty-one mansions of the Lushan Dynasty were killed.
Hundreds of Ming Yue cultists were picked out from all the towns in the eight states, and their various evil deeds were openly criticized and executed on the spot, which immediately calmed down a lot of resentment.
Furthermore, once the identity of the disciples participating in the Ascension Ceremony who died at the auction is confirmed, the Tongtian Immortal Sect will give their sect or family a certain amount of compensation, a sum of training resources, or a promise of the next ceremony.
With the quota, these sects and aristocratic families naturally did not dare to have any issues.
After all, this matter originated from the Ming Yue Sect, and the Tongtian Immortal Sect could be considered as benevolent and righteous by reaching this point.
Now that the catastrophe has just passed, the people in the city have not yet recovered their breath, but the Immortal Ascension Conference was still held as scheduled, and it was extremely grand, which has calmed many people's hearts.
After several rounds of competition, the Immortal Ascension Conference finally selected these six young talents with excellent cultivation qualifications.
On the other side of the square, there are several slightly shorter jade platforms, on which many senior officials of the Tongtian Immortal Sect were seated, as well as distinguished guests from the Lushan Dynasty.
Princess Yueni was also among them, looking at the six people on the high platform with unwillingness in her eyes.
In the competition, she trailed Zhong Xiu by a narrow margin, ranking fourth, just a hair short of being selected.
"Ni'er, although you have not been selected for the Immortal Ascension Ceremony, Taoist Master Wuchen still promised me that I will accept you as my disciple. As long as you practice well, you will also have the opportunity to have a glimpse of the immortal world in the future." Next to Princess Yue Ni, there is a
The middle-aged man wearing a yellow dragon robe is none other than the current sage of the Lushan Dynasty, Lu Shanren.
Princess Yueni seemed to feel better after hearing this and nodded slightly.
"Senior Sister Ximen, I wonder if you have heard that the Tongtian Immortal Sect united various factions and issued a Tiandao death order to hunt down Shi Mu?" On the high platform, Zhong Xiu glanced at Ximen Xue and asked softly.
Hearing this, Ximen Xue's cold eyes flashed with a complex look that was difficult to detect.
Then, she nodded slightly.
"What does Sister Ximen think of this matter?" Zhong Xiu asked.
"When the Mingyue Cult recruited undead from other worlds to kill the dead at the auction, I was not there. I don't know why he was involved in this matter. However, since the Tongtian Immortal Cult issued an express wanted order, I think it will not happen without reason.
." Ximen Xue said.
"We all come from the Seven Sects of the Three Kingdoms. Do you really think Brother Shi will have anything to do with the cult?" Zhong Xiu's tone became colder.
Ximen Xuexiu frowned slightly and glanced at Zhong Xiu, who also happened to look over.
There was a trace of anger in the other party's beautiful eyes.
"I have already said that I was not present that day, so I am not in a position to judge the facts. In addition, I would like to advise you that since we have been selected, we will embark on a different path to immortality and mortal life. Don't be disturbed by common thoughts to avoid delays.
Practice." Ximen Xue's eyes flashed, he turned his head and said.
"Thank you for telling me." Seeing this, Zhong Xiu also withdrew his gaze.
At this moment, a figure wearing a blue Taoist robe slowly flew from a distance, and landed in front of the six people as if they were boneless. He had a childlike face and white hair, holding a snow-white fly whisk in his hand. He was none other than Taoist Wuchen, the leader of the Tongtian Immortal Sect.
When everyone around him saw this, the originally complicated discussion stopped abruptly, and everyone looked at Taoist Wuchen with admiration in their eyes.
"Supreme Heavenly Lord! As of today, the Grand Ceremony of Ascension to Immortality has been completed. The six outstanding talents have been blessed by Heavenly Lord and have formed an immortal relationship. It is a joy to congratulate them." Taoist Wuchen said, glanced at the six people behind him, and said.
As soon as he finished speaking, a burst of cheers broke out near the high platform.
"In addition, the catastrophe half a year ago caused great harm to thousands of people in Tianyu City, which is not tolerated by heaven. I hereby promise that I will spare no effort to hunt down the remaining remnants of the Mingyue Cult, and I will definitely eliminate all the cult members in the country
Clean it up and restore peace to the world!" Taoist Wuchen said with a solemn expression and sonorously.
Everyone near the arena was a resident of Tianyu City, and they were still frightened by the catastrophe. They all cheered after hearing this, pushing the atmosphere in the square to its peak.
"Later, you will follow me to the main altar of the Immortal Sect, fast and bathe, and after three bows to the Heavenly Lord, you will be granted the Immortal Dharma that reaches the heavens. Then you will enter the Hall of Eternal Life for seclusion and practice, in order to attain enlightenment as soon as possible and ascend to the immortal world. May you bless me.
People of Lushan." Taoist Wuchen turned around and said to Ximen Xue, Zhong Xiu and the other six people.
"Yes." Ximen Xue and others agreed in unison with excitement on their faces.
"Priest Wuchen, please wait a moment!" At this moment, an unharmonious voice sounded, but it was Zhong Xiu.
Taoist Wuchen was startled and looked at Zhong Xiu.
"Fellow Taoist Zhongxiu, if you have any questions, it's okay to just ask." Taoist Wuchen said gently.
"To Priest Wuchen, it is a fluke that the little girl was selected this time. In terms of qualifications alone, Princess Yueni is far better than me." Zhong Xiu said.
"What does Taoist fellow Taoist Zhong Xiu mean by this?" Taoist Wuchen asked with his white eyebrows twitching slightly.
"The little girl has thought about it again and again, but she still feels guilty, so she decided to give up her qualification for immortality." Zhong Xiu said.
As soon as these words came out, the square was in an uproar, as if a pot was exploding.
"Did I hear correctly?"
"She actually said she would give up her qualifications for immortality!"
"This...this...is really unheard of..."
How precious is the qualification for the Immortal Ascension Conference? Not to mention that it happens every thirty years. Genius disciples from all sects and sects have to earn this qualification at all costs. After all, they will be among the Immortal Class one day and live as long as heaven and earth.
The sun and the moon shine together, what a privilege and what a glory!
There are people who have obtained it and will give it up voluntarily!
Taoist Wuchen also looked at Zhong Xiu in surprise and said nothing for a while.
The Ascension Ceremony has been held throughout the ages, but nothing like this has ever happened.
The other five people standing with Zhong Xiu also had expressions of disbelief on their faces. They looked at Zhong Xiu as if they were looking at a fool.
Ximen Xue's beautiful eyes flickered, and a strange look flashed across her face.
On the high platform nearby, Princess Yueni covered her mouth with her hands and looked at Zhong Xiu on the Immortal Platform in surprise.
"Fellow Taoist Zhong Xiu, have you considered this matter carefully? Don't be impulsive. Immortal fate is hard to find and is not a child's play." Taoist Wuchen looked at Zhong Xiu and said slowly.
"I have considered this matter carefully and decided to give up. Please ask Master Wuchen to grant this qualification to Princess Yueni." Zhong Xiu said firmly.
The surprised discussion in the square became louder and louder.
"Quiet!" Taoist Wuchen frowned, waved one hand and said in a deep voice.
An invisible wave radiated from his body and spread to every corner of the square in an instant, and the noise in the square suddenly became quiet.
Taoist Wuchen turned to look at Zhong Xiu.
"The fate of immortality is determined by fate. You cannot force it. Since Taoist friend Zhong Xiu is willing to give up his qualifications, I will follow your wishes." He said.
Zhong Xiu saluted Taoist Wuchen, and in a flash, he flew down to the Immortal Platform and walked towards the distance.
The people in the square automatically moved out of the way, and Zhong Xiu's clothes fluttered, and her figure quickly disappeared into the distance.
"Zhong Xiu gave up her qualifications for immortality. According to the ranking, her position will be filled by Princess Yueni, who was fourth." Taoist Wuchen announced loudly.
On the high platform on the other side, Princess Yueni was ecstatic and stood up in excitement. However, her face moved as if she remembered something, and she looked at the middle-aged man in dragon robe beside her.
"Father, are these all your arrangements?" Princess Yueni said softly.
The middle-aged man in dragon robe shook his head.
"That's strange. Why did she suddenly give up her qualification for immortality? Father, no matter what, this Zhong Xiu gave up the opportunity so that I could get the quota. Please help me prepare a thank-you gift for that Zhong Xiu." Yue.
Princess Ni said.
"Okay, if you don't tell me, I will arrange this." The middle-aged man in dragon robe nodded.
Princess Yueni hummed, her feet lowered, and bursts of yellow light appeared around her, holding her body and flying towards the Immortal Platform.
