Sometimes Ming led the way, and Yang Huang and the two quickly got a general idea of the Tianwu underworld.
The Tianwu Sect has a wide range of activities underground, and the Tianwu Underworld is its headquarters. Most of the elders and disciples live here.
Among them, Jinchao City is the most important gathering point. The river flowing under it is called Qili River, because it is seven miles long on the ground and then disappears on the ground.
Outside Jinchao City, most of the land is flat, but behind it, there are a series of hills.
The tops of several of the mountains were emitting strong light, bringing light to the entire Tianwu Underworld.
Yang Huang and the others followed Shi Ming up to the top of a glowing hill, and both of them couldn't help but look surprised.
I saw that the top of the mountain was actually a huge fire pit. The dazzling light in the pit was emitted by the surging lava. Looking down at the lava from a high place, it was really a terrifying sight.
"When you came here, you probably all thought that the Tianwu Sect was in the semi-immortal world, a place full of light and flowers. You didn't expect that it would actually be nestled underground, right?" After facing the lava fire pit in silence for a moment, Shi Ming suddenly turned around and rushed.
Yang Huang and the other two smiled and said.
Lan Jingyi said: "Yes, how come the Tianwu Sect lives in such a place?"
"The reality is cruel, but you have to accept it." Shi Ming paused, "The Tianwu Sect may be in the Endless Sea, a sect in the upper world, high above the world. But in the semi-immortal world, it is an insignificant sect. Of course, we
It’s not like he’s always weak…”
Under Shi Ming's narration, Yang Huang and Lan Jingyi finally learned some things that they had never thought of before.
A hundred years ago, although the Tianwu Sect was not particularly large in the semi-immortal world, it was at least a large martial arts sect that stood tall and upright on the ground.
But later, another powerful sect came and forcibly occupied Tianwu Sect's territory.
In order to preserve the remaining lineage of the sect, Tianwu Sect can only move into this underground world.
A large sect has declined, and its population is becoming increasingly scarce, because it is impossible for people from the semi-immortal world to join such an underground sect.
In order to continue the lifeline of the sect, the ancestors of the Tianwu Sect took advantage of living underground to build a ladder to the sky, and went down to the Endless Sea to hold an annual trial meeting to select outstanding disciples and enter the Tianwu Sect, barely maintaining their existence.
The remaining lineage of the sect.
In fact, in the entire semi-immortal world, only a down-and-out martial arts sect like Tianwu Sect would recruit disciples from the Endless Sea.
In such an underground world, the Tianwu Sect is not only the rarest among the semi-immortal world, but may also be the poorest.
The lack of supplies means that the Tianwu Sect must select the most elite and outstanding disciples to join, and resolutely eliminate the unqualified disciples. Things like the trial meeting, the pass set up by the brothers at the entrance to the Tianfeng Pass, and the hunting cave for hunting animals, etc., are actually all
It is used to ruthlessly eliminate the entry-level disciples who have insufficient cultivation and poor combat effectiveness to ensure that the strongest talents are the real entry-level talents.
Yang Huang couldn't help but feel chilled. It turned out that the situation of Tianwu Sect was so unbearable... In this underground world, how could he go to Daozhongzong Piaomiao Palace to get the second page of the secret book?
"However, our Tianwu Sect will not continue to stay in this underground world. We will return to the surface in three months at most."
Shi Ming looked back at Yang Huang and Lan Jingyi, "Because in two months, the battle for heaven will begin, and then we will elect a powerful sect leader to lead us back to the ground."
Due to the decline in the number of people and the weak luck of the clan, after the death of the previous clan leader, no one among the elders of Tianwu Sect could convince the public. Therefore, the position of clan leader has always been vacant.
Half a year ago, a major event occurred that threatened the survival of Tianwu Sect, forcing the elders to reach a consensus and elect a sect leader as soon as possible.
However, it is difficult for the elders to convince each other, and it is simply unrealistic to determine the leader of the clan through voting.
For this reason, the elders jointly thought of a way to select the sect leader. This method was called the "War of Heavenly Way".
"The so-called battle of heaven is actually very simple. It is a bit like a trial." Shi Ming said: "The rules are like this: each elder selects an elite disciple from Class A, Class B, and Class C, and then participates separately.
In the same arena, the winning rate will be calculated in the end."
The elder with the highest winning rate of Class A disciples is the sect leader. If the winning rates of Class A disciples of two elders are the same, go to Class B, if not, go to Class C.
"Shi Lao, you told us this, do you want us to fight for you in this battle of heaven and earth?" Yang Huang suddenly asked.
Shi Ming looked at him and smiled slightly: "We have an appointment. I will help you with something, and you will help me with something. Now that you have arrived at Tianwu Sect, this is what I want you to help me with."
Yang Huang nodded: "No problem!"
"So you really have such an agreement?" Lan Jingyi said in surprise.
Shi Ming smiled: "But you and I have no such agreement, so you are my apprentice and I want you to fight for the master. Is that okay?"
"Of course there is no problem, but we are all disciples like Ding now..."
Shi Ming looked at the two of them and smiled: "Since I selected you, I believe that you have the ability to create miracles. No, didn't you all perform very well in the trial meeting?"
Yang Huang said: "You tell me how to do it, and we will do our best."
"Okay, what I like is your energy!"
Shi Ming nodded, but then sighed, "I believe you have also seen that my position in the elders is very embarrassing. Some first-class disciples even want to replace me. There are two elders in charge who also want to
I'll replace them with people who listen to them."
After a pause, Shi Ming said again: "I don't expect you to achieve much in the battle of heaven and earth, but I hope that the two of you can build momentum for me. At least, others will not dare to treat me like this again.
Think of it as fish belly!”
Tianwu Sect has a typical characteristic, that is, having many disciples as a teacher, and strong disciples as the most valuable.
Because everyone can become an elder, their cultivation level is almost the same. Therefore, whoever has more disciples and is stronger will have a stronger faction and naturally have a higher status.
Currently, several big factions have formed among the elders, especially the two major group elders. But Shi Ming is the weakest.
This puts Shi Ming's status in jeopardy.
Shi Ming had to protect himself, so this year he went all out in the trial meeting and finally accepted two disciples, Yang Huang and Lan Jingyi, which caused a shock among the elders.
And now he hopes that Yang Huang and Lan Jingyi can bring him dignity during the battle of heaven and earth.
"The battle for heaven will begin in two months. During this time, other elders have been urging their disciples to practice with all their strength. Compared with them, you are too late to prepare, and you are still only Ding and other disciples.
