The appearance of Long Yuan made Xi Zhong, who originally wanted to continue climbing higher, stopped instantly.
Long Yuan asked Xi Zhong to stop, and Xi Zhong asked why.
Long Yuan continued softly: "This Sword Mountain is a bit weird. There are traps everywhere. Just now I helped you, master, to open a lot of traps. Now I took a look at the scene along the way, master, and finally discovered it.
A little problem."
"Machine... mechanism?" Xi Zhong was a little stunned.
There are still some trees and weeds at the foot of Daojian Mountain. Now that we are near the top of the mountain, the strong wind has become more and more fierce. The surrounding area is desolate and barren. The soil can be seen by light. Where is there any mechanism?
Seeing that his master was a little stunned, Long Yuan changed his explanation, "It is said to be a mechanism, but it is actually some spiritual light points that can be triggered randomly. Once these spiritual light points are touched by someone, they will
The person is pulled into a small world. Inside that small world is a completely isolated place. There must be various trials waiting for you, the master..."
Listening to Long Yuan's calm explanation, Xi Zhongcai finally understood a little bit.
"Long Yuan, are you saying...the reason why I didn't see anyone along the way is that those people have already been dragged into the levels in the small world?"
Long Yuan nodded lightly.
But now she hasn't appeared yet, so Xi Zhong didn't see her nodding, so she could only say: "Yes, master, you should have fallen directly into the small world, but I deliberately used my magical power to make you fall into the small world."
Those spiritual light points cannot get close to the master, so master you have never fallen into the barrier."
Hearing this, Xi Zhong finally breathed a sigh of relief, "I thought all the disciples who took the exam were so good, so they just left me so far away..."
After heaving a sigh of relief, Xi Zhong paused and continued to ask in his heart: "That means that those in the front, such as Yuan Qiong, Su Nian, Lu Jie, Wu Mei and others, also
You must have fallen into the level of Little World?"
Long Yuan said: "Logically speaking, this is so, because these spiritual power light spots are difficult to detect. Unless they are spiritual void realm monks or people with extremely good natural perception, they can detect it. However, being able to detect it does not mean that
If you can avoid it, the mountains here are filled with spiritual light points, especially around you, the master. There are so many. This should be done deliberately by the examiner monks sitting above the clouds and mist. They don’t want the master to go too easily.
…”
Speaking of this, Xi Zhong suddenly asked: "Now that Long Yuan is talking to me like this, you won't be discovered by those monks, right?"
Perhaps because he heard that his master cared about him, Long Yuan was rarely happy, and his tone became a little cheerful, "Back to master, now your spiritual root rank has increased, and your realm has also risen. And I have benefited greatly from you, and my realm has also improved."
I have made a huge leap forward, and now I am actually at the middle stage of the Spiritual Void Realm. If you want to find me, you must be personally stationed here by a late-stage Bigu Realm monk, and you have to set up a special perception formation to be able to sense my existence.
"
Long Yuan's words were happy, but also a little arrogant and superior, as if he despised all the monks here.
However, Xi Zhong could understand why Long Yuan was so superior.
Because Long Yuan comes from that Jian Yuan.
Sword Abyss is an abyss that is as large as a huge continent. It is dedicated to breeding sword spirits. It is a place that all monks dream of exploring.
However, this place is not a place that all monks can go to casually. Even the immortals who stand at the top of the world cannot directly lock the place of Jianyuan.
Because the land of Sword Abyss appears once in a thousand years, and every time it appears, it is in a different place, and every time it appears, it means that one or two sword spirits will land in this world, and then the sword spirit will appear in this world.
The Land of Abyss continued to escape into the void and fled away. Even the immortals could not capture and lock it.
According to legend, the place of Sword Abyss was the place where a saint named the Holy Lord of Swords sat in ancient times. That Holy Lord of Swords was the ancient immortal who existed when the world was in chaos.
However, it is now rumored that the Holy Master of Swords has been dead for tens of millions of years.
Every time the Land of Sword Abyss appears, it is a grand ceremony that is rare in a thousand years, because monks from all walks of life will come one after another, just to snatch the ownership of one or two sword spirits.
In this situation, even an immortal would intervene.
The allure of the sword spirit is evident.
It sounds much better than Xi Zhong's current AFK system, which is relatively useless.
At any rate, the fact that Xi Zhong has such a strong body and the strength to compete with these proud men is almost all thanks to Long Yuan.
Sword spirits are such strange creatures that attract many people to chase them.
As for why Long Yuan finally appeared in the corner of the mountain, Xi Zhong didn't know.
Who knows what kind of shocking battle broke out after Jian Yuan appeared?
Xi Zhong was too lazy to think about it. He was still very small now, so he didn't think about so many things and just kept an eye on the things in front of him.
Xi Zhong did not dare to expect to become an immortal or a saint, and he was not qualified to expect it for the time being. Being able to protect himself and travel around the world was Xi Zhong's temporary goal.
The first priority is to live safely and happily.
Xi Zhong simply sat cross-legged on the ground and asked: "Long Yuan, what should I do now? Presumably the examiners and monks sitting here have noticed us, otherwise there would not be so many little worlds.
The spiritual light points are gathering towards me..."
Long Yuan asked: "Master, do you want to try what it's like to go in and break through the barrier?"
"Of course I don't want to." Xi Zhong shook his head without saying anything and said: "Of course, it's not that I'm afraid, it's just that I never fell into the barrier before, which attracted the attention of the monks. Now that I fall into the barrier again, I feel like I have no money here.
Three hundred taels is a superfluous move, why not just never fall into it."
Long Yuan nodded in agreement, "That's okay, but this way, Master, you will be directly exposed to everyone's sight, and you will still be aboveboard."
She knows her master's temperament.
You can spend it in a concealed manner, but you will never go through it in a high-profile way.
It doesn't matter that he is greedy for life and afraid of death. After all, the master is quite bold sometimes. It should be said that the master just doesn't want to die.
Not wanting to die and being afraid of death are completely different concepts.
But Long Yuan likes this kind of master very much.
She now recognizes Xi Zhong as her master. If the master keeps a high profile and even shows off that he possesses a sword spirit, then disaster will soon come.
Live carefully and try your best to become stronger. This is what you should do as her master.
Sure enough, Xi Zhong began to hesitate after hearing what Long Yuan said.
He actually doesn't want to compete for the first place.
Xi Zhong’s goal is very simple, just pass the exam.
If he really wins the first place, I am afraid that he will attract the attention of many people in an instant, and maybe even the high-ranking outer sect leader will notice him.
This is what he never wanted to do.
"Then what should I do? I want to pass, but I don't want to blatantly compete for first place..." Xi Zhong said with a wry smile.
"Master, actually this is very simple."
Xi Zhong's eyes lit up, "Long Yuan, do you have any idea?"
Long Yuan nodded lightly, "Of course there is a way. Those disciples who were trapped in the small world and broke through the barrier will definitely not be wiped out. They will definitely break out successfully when the time comes. Master, you just need to wait here obediently.
That’s it, wait until all of them are out of seclusion, and then Master you can follow up, wouldn’t it be fine as long as you catch the qualified tail?”
After hearing this, Xi Zhong thought for a while and felt that this method seemed... OK!
Anyway, I sit here and don’t have to worry about being the last. Isn’t it okay to wait until almost all those people have left the barrier and continue to climb, then I can follow them without being eliminated?
Thinking of this, Xi Zhong suddenly broke into a cold sweat.
Because he also thought that he seemed to be rushing hard for a long time.
Rushing so hard... Is my climbing ranking very high? Do the disciples outside know my current climbing ranking?
"Long Yuan... Do you think the monks outside and the disciples who have been eliminated... know my current ranking?" Xi Zhong asked cautiously.
Long Yuan thought for a while and then said: "I don't know."
Xi Zhong: "..."
Finally, Xi Zhong gritted his teeth and said, "Forget it, never mind, just to be sure, I will step back a little. I rushed too hard earlier, and I guess I passed too many people along the way, which will definitely attract the attention of others...
"
So, Xi Zhong gritted his teeth and rushed towards the foot of the mountain again.
The supervising monks who were observing him all the time were stunned again.
Especially the old monk, who was stroking his beard and asked, "What does this kid want to do?"
And all the disciples outside who were watching the ranking list were shocked to see that Xi Zhong, who was already close to the 200th place, started to regress rapidly at this moment...
In a short time, Xi Zhong came to around 900 people again...
The disciples in the square were stunned again and again.
How fat is this?
Why does light suddenly move forward at the speed of light and then move back at the speed of light?
What's going on with Xi Zhong?
Then they turned their heads again and began to search among the small mirrors in the sky.
I just want to find Xi Zhong’s mirror image.
Finally, a sharp-eyed disciple found him, pointed his finger, and said loudly: "Damn it, why is this Xi Zhong rushing down the mountain!?"
It attracted everyone to look at it directly.
Then everyone didn't care about why Xi Zhong didn't fall into the checkpoint, and all their attention was on Xi Zhong who kept going down the mountain and retreating.
At this time, Xi Zhong's ranking has dropped in the rankings.
As for Xi Zhong, he didn't know that his funny behavior at this moment was being watched by thousands of pairs of eyes.
"What is this kid doing!?" Someone finally couldn't help but ask.
