After fighting against Song Xinghe, Su Xing discovered that even though both of them were at the Yuan Hua realm, the amount of energy contained in their moves was very different.
In the final analysis, Su Xing only relied on the help of Yin-Yang Twin Grass to forcibly break through the adversity in a short period of time, and there were still many impurities in his body that had not yet settled.
In comparison, Song Xinghe was a martial arts disciple who had been in this realm for at least nearly a year. Such a gap in vitality was completely normal.
But understanding is understanding, and how to smooth the gap is what Su Xing needs to face now.
This reminded him of another thing - the Yuanqi Stone Chamber.
In the past half month, he has been practicing hard on two newly acquired martial arts. The method he used to knock out his opponent Gao Yi at the same level just now was Tianyinpo's method.
Because of this, if Song Xinghe hadn't suddenly appeared, he might have left the existence of the stone chamber behind and forgotten the past.
Walking on the dark road leading to the depths of the canyon, everything around him became extremely clear under the examination of Su Xing's spiritual consciousness. What made him feel a little concerned was that after the group of Duanpo lions were collectively killed, it seemed that there was no trace of the canyon.
Welcome new owner.
Until he reached the barren wall at the end, he didn't find any sign of a vicious beast.
After he looked around to make sure that no one was following him, he touched the deserted wall with his hands for a while before he found the gap leading to the interior.
After entering the gap, he continued to move forward along the long and narrow road, and the wide tunnel and the stairs leading to the Demon-Judging Cave soon appeared in front of him.
Su Xing didn't pay much attention to the long staircase, but after briefly looking at it, he walked into the stone chamber on the side.
He probably knew that to open the mechanism of the stone chamber, he needed to sit on the central stone platform, so just like the first time, he sat down on it.
Not long after, the stone walls suddenly lit up, and streaks of deep blue light were like countless paintbrushes, sketching a familiar picture on the wall - the surrendered beasts and their masters.
Only this time, behind the whip-wielding "animal tamer" is no longer blank, but with other patterns.
Squinting his eyes and looking carefully, Su Xing roughly saw that behind the human holding the whip, there seemed to be a huge palace. The entire palace was made of huge stone bricks. The stone bricks used to build it were not only
It is so huge that the top of the building is inserted into the clouds.
The picture stopped abruptly after revealing the building, and looking back, it was dark again.
"strangeness……"
Su Xing murmured to himself. His actions after entering the stone chamber were obviously no different from the last time. Why were there new scenes this time?
At this moment, the blue light slowly dissipated, and Su Xing knew that this was a symbol that the stone chamber was about to open.
Soon, the stone bricks on the eight corners of the room sank, and a steady stream of energy began to flow in from the extra holes. Within a few minutes, the entire room was filled.
Under the pure and rich vitality, Su Xing's Dantian began to breathe out the vitality in the stone chamber uncontrollably.
He immediately stopped thinking wildly. There were still six days left before the academy examination. Whether he could fully settle the Huayuan Realm before then would all depend on the results of his cultivation in the stone chamber!
Sitting cross-legged on the stone platform, closing his eyes, he quickly entered a state of trance, and the Devouring Creation Technique began to operate silently, absorbing the vitality in the stone chamber at an astonishing speed.
…
Six days later.
Deep in the Grand Canyon at the northwest corner of the Mingyang River, hidden in a stone room that separates the Mingyang River from the Demon-Judging Cave, only a few "bang" sounds were heard, and the stone bricks in the eight corners of the room returned to their original positions, blocking the crazy flow.
Entering the vitality.
"call."
On the stone platform, Su Xing, who was sitting cross-legged, exhaled a long breath, and a ray of light shot out from his slowly opened eyes.
He sat and stretched, stretching his nearly stiff muscles before jumping off the stone platform.
At this time, he saw that the surface of the stone platform where he was sitting suddenly dented a small area. Seeing this dent, he smiled helplessly.
Three days ago, Su Xing, who was absorbing the vitality of heaven and earth, suddenly discovered that the vitality in the stone room was draining at a strange speed. In the end, there was no vitality left in the room.
He thought he had accidentally touched some other mechanism. When he jumped off the stone platform and prepared to observe the strangeness in the room, he found that the stone platform suddenly dented.
After some strenuous attempts, he finally put a low-grade spiritual grass into the small sunken hole, and the stone chamber seemed to have regained its energy and began to exhale vitality again.
This time, he also learned that the vitality stone chamber itself was not without consumption. It also needed to absorb spiritual objects to open the built-in mechanism to achieve the effect of absorbing vitality.
Fortunately, the stone chamber does not have high requirements for the spiritual objects it absorbs. A low-level spiritual object can open the stone chamber for three full days.
The last time Su Xing was able to use the stone chamber without injecting spiritual objects, it must be because the spirituality of the Yin-Yang Twin Grass was so great that it could open the mechanism without injecting it.
This time, Su Xing did not put in a new spiritual grass, but turned around and left the stone room and walked outside.
The sixth day has arrived, and the examination for the Third Avenue Academy will begin in the afternoon today!
Su Xing did not dare to neglect, he knew that only by moving forward at full speed could he quickly cross the Mingyang River and Duanyang Forest and rush back to the sect.
But when he left the Grand Canyon, he stopped slightly because he saw a bloody corpse slumped under the big tree where Gao Yi was originally tied.
The head and abdomen of the corpse had completely disappeared, leaving only a pool of solidified blood. However, the torn black clothes surrounding it allowed Su Xing to confirm that the owner of the corpse was Gao Yi.
He walked to the body in a few steps and leaned down.
After looking at the corpse with ruthless eyes, Su Xing finally reached out and took out a storage bag from the other party's arms.
He did not choose to open it now to see what was in the storage bag. Instead, he put the storage bag into the silver spirit ring and walked out of the dense forest without looking back.
Throughout the whole process, there was never a hint of emotion in his eyes, as if he had never seen the owner of this corpse.
…
Wanjian Sect's annual academy examination is the most grand event of the sect.
Compared with the demon-slaying event in the middle of the year, the academy examination at the end of the year is obviously more important and grand. Not to mention the packed seats of disciples from all major avenues, there are also countless elders from the abbeys who come to visit. The power of the entire outer mountain is here.
One day we gathered together at Wanjian Square in Lu Yanfeng!
Similar to the layout of the demon-slaying event, in the center of the square is a huge arena that was built a month in advance. The arena is large enough to accommodate more than a hundred disciples at the same time.
The four quarters of the arena are occupied by the seats of the elders of the three major monasteries and the monastery. Looking around, the seats in every direction are full. The densely packed disciples are looking towards the direction of the arena, trying to find the senior brothers who are participating in the academy examination.
Senior sisters, that is the greatest pride of each Taoist school.
On the highest platform in the north, in addition to the seats of the elders, there are four seats that are very eye-catching.
These four seats are all made of high-quality spiritual stones. In terms of price alone, they can be regarded as the most valuable things in the outer mountains of Wanjian Sect.
Sitting on three of the stone chairs were the deans of the Three Great Courtyards, Jiang Lingyan in yellow robe, Yu Chuan in red robe and Liu Su in purple robe.
And sitting on the remaining stone chair was an old man that none of the disciples from outside the mountain had ever seen.
The old man has a pair of long plain white eyebrows on his forehead, and a pair of wrinkled eyes under his eyebrows are narrowed into a thin slit, but they are always emitting sharp light to the surroundings. Although he looks old, his body has an identity.
He is strong and strong, without any of the hunched-over appearance of an ordinary old man.
What concerned the disciples from all directions the most was the black robe worn by the old man that did not belong to any Taoist school.
This is the symbol of the inner sect of Wanjian Sect!
Seeing the black clothes on the old man's body, both the disciples and the elders were in awe of the old man, and their eyes became reverent.
This is the inner elder sent by the three main peaks to preside over the academy examination this time!
