After this little episode, everyone started talking even more fiercely.
But at this moment, a dozen powerful auras suddenly came from the eastern sky.
"The eight elders are here!"
This was not the first time for many people to experience the selection of disciples from the Eight Sects. As soon as more than a dozen auras came suddenly, they knew that they were emanating from the powerful elders of the Eight Sects.
Everyone turned their heads to look at the eastern sky.
Zhang Yao and others also looked towards the east. In addition to the glow of the glow, there seemed to be a dozen small black spots that were blurry and swaying in the glow.
In the blink of an eye, the small black dots the size of sesame seeds turned into the size of beans. In the blink of an eye, the black dots the size of beans turned into blurred figures.
In another blink of an eye, the eight sect elders had arrived in front of the snow peak in the forbidden area, standing in the air in front of everyone.
Sixteen people, each wearing similar clothes. Obviously, there are two elders from each sect.
These sixteen people all have a waist tag hanging on their waist. The waist tag has a simple shape and has two ancient characters engraved on it. The waist tag is also the same as the clothing, and each pair is the same.
Zhang Yao already knew the names of the eight immortal sects. Although he didn't know much about the ancient characters, based on the shape of the ancient characters on his waist badge and some guessing, he was able to identify which sect each of these sixteen people belonged to.
Covering the moon, neon clouds, Guiyi, Huangji, thunder and fire, blue clouds, ice, and sky.
Among the sixteen people, fourteen stood with swords in their hands.
There were two other people with nothing at their feet. These two people did not have swords, but they were still standing in thin air.
In addition, Zhang Yao took a look and saw that the aura of the two people standing out of thin air seemed to be stronger than the aura of the man standing with a sword.
Two people stood out of thin air. One was a short, fat old man in rich clothes and jade belt, with white hair and a childlike face.
The other man had a hairpin made of pine branches and was dressed in Tsing Yi. Compared with the short, fat old man, the man in Tsing Yi looked more like a village man in the mountains, but he had a bit more of the temperament of a leisurely cloud and wild crane.
Zhang Yao's eyes fell on the waistbands of these two people. The short and fat old man's waistband had the word "Thunder Fire" on it. He was obviously an elder of the Thunder Fire Sect.
On the waistband of the man in green is the word Huangji.
No need to think too much, the man in Tsing Yi is the elder of Huangji Sect!
The arrival of sixteen people immediately caused quite a stir.
Before, everyone was talking about the Ye family, but at this moment, everyone's thoughts turned to the sixteen people standing in the air.
"Elder Yan of the Thunder Fire Sect has actually entered the path of alchemy!"
"Did you just know? Elder Yan entered the alchemy path last year!"
"Elder Li from the Huangji Sect is here again."
"Elder Li comes here every year, but he comes back disappointed every year. I guess Elder Li will come back disappointed again this year."
…
Zhang Yao listened to everyone's discussion and after a little inference, he knew that the short and fat elder of the Leihuo Sect was named Yan, and the Qingyi elder of the Huangji Sect was named Li.
Elder Yan from the Thunder Fire Sect and Elder Li from the Huangji Sect were both monks who entered the alchemy path.
The Alchemy Path is a major hurdle on the road to spiritual energy. There is an essential difference between monks who have entered the Alchemy Path and monks who have not.
Zhang Yao doesn't know what the essential difference is.
But currently, it seems that there is one most conspicuous difference. Monks who have entered the alchemy path can stand in the void without using a sword. Monks who have not entered the alchemy path can only use a sword if they want to rise into the air.
Of course, it's not just sword control, you can also control other spiritual weapons. But most monks are used to sword control.
Listening to everyone's discussion, Zhang Yao still knew.
It only takes sixteen monks under the alchemy path to work together to open the forbidden area of the Immortal Emperor's portrait.
Alchemy monks, there is actually no need to come here.
There seems to be a strong suspicion that Elder Yan from the Thunder Fire Sect came here to show off to others that he had entered the alchemy path.
This short, fat old man had been cultivating for most of his life and was about to die. However, he suddenly entered the alchemy path and gained many more years of life.
The short, fat old man was so proud that he wished the whole world could celebrate.
Of course, the elder named Yan does not want to show off to the people of the aristocratic families on the ground, but to the other elders of the seven sects.
If you take the initiative to show off to other sects, it would be too presumptuous.
But if something happens, if the elders of all the sects get together and everyone participates, he can naturally show off.
Elder Li from the Huangji Sect came here not to show off, but because he seemed to have something very important to do.
Moreover, the elder surnamed Li has never completed what he has to do over the years and returns home disappointed every year.
What exactly does the elder surnamed Li want to do? Zhang Yao estimates that he can solve the mystery after listening to the discussion of the crowd for a while.
But at this moment, one of the sixteen elders from the eight sects said, "Follow us."
As soon as the words fell, the sixteen elders took off into the air and flew straight to the top of the snow peak.
Wow!
Ling Haoran and other eight people from the first camp were the first to set off. They launched their flying swords one after another and followed with their swords.
Thousands of people from the second camp followed, all sacrificing their flying swords, and then rose up with their swords, following closely behind Ling Haoran and others.
Even though some people were not as fast as Ling Haoran and others in wielding swords, they still stayed behind and did not steal the spotlight from Ling Haoran and others.
In the morning glow, thousands of people raised their shining flying swords at the same time, and all flew into the sky with their swords. The scene was quite spectacular!
Ye Youran and Lan Yi are about to stand up with their swords.
Ye Youran suddenly thought of something, looked at Zhang Yao and said, "Come up, I'll take you with me."
As long as he is a monk, even if he is only a first-level monk, he can fly in the air with a sword. But Zhang Yao does not have a spiritual sword, so there is no talk of flying in the air with a sword.
"No need, I'll just run over." Zhang Yao didn't walk towards Ye Youran's flying sword, but ran away and ran towards the top of the snow peak.
Sword riding consumes spiritual energy.
Ye Youran's spiritual power consumption is different between walking alone with a sword and walking with another person to wield a sword.
At the moment, we still don’t know what will happen if we enter the forbidden area. The more spiritual power Ye Youran retains, the more safety he will have.
In Zhang Yao's opinion, since everyone knew they were going to the top of the snow peak, they should have walked to the top of the snow peak earlier instead of going up to the snow peak with Yu Jian at this time.
Going up to the Snow Peak with your sword will inevitably consume your spiritual power. Why not go to the Snow Peak earlier and wait for the eight elders.
Of course, it is also possible that the candidates did this intentionally.
Walking with a sword is actually very particular. For the same distance, if different monks walk with a sword, some will consume less spiritual power, while others will consume more spiritual power.
People who consume more spiritual energy will naturally suffer more when they reach the forbidden area.
Seeing that Zhang Yao couldn't get up to the flying sword and was already running up the snow peak, Ye Youran couldn't help but pull him away, so he and Lan Yi got up with the sword.
As a result, thousands of candidates all took to the air with swords and flew to the top of the snow peak. Only Zhang Yao ran up the snow peak unhurriedly.
"Haha! Look! This first-grade monk doesn't even have a spiritual sword!"
"Maybe he doesn't have a spiritual sword."
"Although a first-level monk can wield a sword, if he wants to wield a sword, he must first learn the art of wielding a sword. Maybe he hasn't learned the art of wielding a sword yet!"
"Ha ha!"
Everyone laughed.
Thousands of people were flying in the air with their swords in hand, and Zhang Yao was the only one running up the mountain. This scene really made everyone's eyes light up and make them laugh.
Zhang Yao can stand in the air and stand out of thin air just like the Alchemy monks. But at this time in the Immortal Realm, if he performs the Standing Skill in the Immortal Realm, he can move out of thin air like the Alchemy monks without scaring everyone. Moreover,
After being frightened, Zhang Yao might not be able to hide his identity as a warrior.
Ordinary people may not know some of the characteristics of warriors. But people from major aristocratic families, as well as 16 elders from eight sects, are gathered here. If Zhang Yao shows a slight flaw, he may be exposed.
Fortunately, fellow martial arts practitioners have experienced great changes in their practice after being promoted to the double or third level.
Wei Wu, a third-level martial artist, tempers his bones with blood, and his energy and blood are stored in his bone marrow. As long as Zhang Yao doesn't explode, even a powerful monk will find it difficult to detect him.
The third level of Wanfa, the spiritual totem has been condensed, the mental power is restrained, and it is also difficult to detect.
The only thing Zhang Yao worries about is his own appearance.
Fortunately, when the sixteen elders of the eight sects glanced at everyone just now, their eyes did not linger on Zhang Yao.
At this moment, Zhang Yao was the only one running up the mountain, which naturally attracted the attention of the elders of the eight sects.
With the strength of the eight sect elders, even though the distance was somewhat far away, they could still see Zhang Yao's face clearly.
After just one glance at Zhang Yao, the elders of the eight sects withdrew their gaze.
A first-grade monk also came to participate in the election. I wonder which family he is a disciple of?
I probably ran up the mountain to save some spiritual energy.
Among the sixteen people, only the elder Li from the Huangji Sect, who was wearing green clothes and a hairpin made of pine branches, glanced at Zhang Yao.
Zhang Yao's fellow martial arts practitioners are all in the third level, with extremely far-sighted eyesight and keen mental acuity.
Zhang Yao felt a shiver in his heart when he noticed that the elder named Li from Huangji Sect took another look.
Yin Tingxue is a disciple of the Huangji Sect. What does it mean to take a second look at the elder of the Huangji Sect named Li?
Zhang Yao kept his heart rate unchanged, breath unchanged, pace, etc., but he was secretly vigilant in his heart. If something went wrong, he would deal with it immediately.
Even though there are sixteen elders from eight sects, people from major aristocratic families, and thousands of candidates here, Zhang Yao will never sit still and wait for death.
If he is really discovered, he still has four hundred spirit points, one more rage, and three increases, so he has to fight no matter what.
Although Elder Li from the Huangji Sect took one more look at Zhang Yao, he did not do anything else.
Zhang Yao did not relax his vigilance and maintained his normal state.
Although Ling Haoran and others stood at the front of the crowd, and although they immediately followed the sixteen elders to wield their swords, the sixteen elders never glanced at the eight people.
Zhang Yao, on the other hand, ran up the mountain alone, causing all sixteen elders to look back.
If it weren't for his shamelessness, Ling Haoran would have wanted to put away his spiritual sword and run up the mountain to attract the attention of the sixteen elders.
But after thinking about it, Ling Haoran finally suppressed his thoughts.
It is impossible to imitate Zhang Yao!
Besides, it would be too deliberate to walk with the sword first, then suddenly put the sword away midway and switch to running up the mountain.
"Grandstanding!" Ling Haoran snorted coldly.
The other seven people did the same and sneered.
But the seven people had other thoughts in their hearts. If they had known this, they would have run up the mountain.
What's wrong with running up the mountain to make the eight elders take a second look?
With their strength, if they attract the attention of the elders in the early stage, and if they achieve good results in the later stage, they might have the opportunity to become a disciple of an elder in one fell swoop.
With such benefits, let alone running up the mountain, let them climb the mountain!
