As the sixteen elders poured powerful energy into the stone platform at their feet, something seemed to be activated.
Each stone platform has lines of light extending from both sides, extending to the adjacent stone platforms on the left and right.
In the blink of an eye, sixteen stone platforms formed a circle.
Immediately, many lines of light stretched out from each stone platform, intersecting towards the center of the circle.
Zhang Yao lowered his head and saw countless rays of light under his feet, swimming and intersecting like spiritual snakes, converging into an extremely complex pattern.
boom!
At the moment when the pattern was condensed and completed, a dazzling light burst out from the circle surrounded by sixteen stone platforms.
When the light disappeared, the thousands of candidates who had been standing in the circle disappeared without a trace.
"I wonder who can get the first place in the selection of eight disciples this year?"
"The first place in the selection of eight disciples every year must come from the eight seed monks, and this year will be no exception!"
"The first place in the selection of the eight disciples will only be one of Ye Chengfeng, Xie Jinyang, Ling Haoran, Chen Hongyu, Li Zhangyun, Yu Qiushui, Yuntingqian, and Lu Bingze!"
"The most likely person is Ye Chengfeng, Xie Jinyang, Ling Haoran, Chen Hongyu, one of the four!"
"Although the four of them, Li Zhangyun, Yu Qiushui, Yuntingqian, and Lu Bingze, are powerful, they are still female. Over the years, few female disciples from aristocratic families have become the first in the selection of eight sect disciples."
"..."
At the edge of the basin, people from major aristocratic families are predicting who will be the first in this year's selection of eight disciples?
Ninety percent of them think that one of the four people, Ye Chengfeng, Xie Jinyang, Ling Haoran, and Chen Hongyu, is most likely to win the first place in the selection of eight disciples.
The opening of the forbidden area ended, and the sixteen elders of the eight sects did not leave. They sat on the stone platform, closed their eyes and rested, waiting quietly for the selection to end.
"Youran, you must come out alive." Ye Zhixing stared at the center of the basin where there was no one left, clenching his fists.
Ye Zhixing knew in his heart that the destruction of the Ye family was inevitable and irreversible.
But even if he entered the monk's mansion, Ye Youran could at least survive.
If Ye Youran encounters people from the Ling family and the Chu family in the forbidden area, he will die, or even die of humiliation.
It's a pity that he couldn't persuade Ye Youran, otherwise, Ye Zhixing wouldn't have let Ye Youran enter the forbidden area.
"Brother Mo Yao." Mo Ling'er and Mo Shang shouted softly, with a trace of worry in their eyes. Although the two siblings knew that Mo Yao was very strong, only three people from the Ye family entered the forbidden area. Even if the Ling family and the Chu family were not there,
Together, there are ten people in each family, and they are all third-level monks. There is a huge gap in strength and number between the two sides.
"Mo Yao will be fine," Miao Poxiao said.
Mo Linger and Mo Shang nodded slightly.
…
A dazzling light burst out, and Zhang Yao narrowed his eyes.
When the light dissipated, the scene before us was no longer the basin at the top of the snow peak in the forbidden area.
The circle of light in the basin was like a teleportation formation, sending everyone to the forbidden area.
This is the forbidden area!
Zhang Yao looked around and saw lush mountains and waters in the distance. Except that there were no buildings or palaces, the scene in the forbidden area was similar to that of the ancient sect boundary.
Very far away, suddenly there was a thin line of golden light rushing into the sky. It didn't look like it was caused by a monk.
Zhang Yao's heart moved. As long as someone comes within three feet of the Immortal Emperor's portrait, the Immortal Emperor's portrait will burst into light.
It seems that there is a statue of the Immortal Emperor there.
Thousands of people have entered the forbidden area through the stone platform formation. It is indeed possible that some of them are very lucky, and as soon as they put their feet on the ground, there is a statue of the Immortal Emperor within three feet.
The golden light that rushed into the sky was far away from where Zhang Yao was at this moment. By the time Zhang Yao rushed over, the day lilies were already cold.
What's more, there is a deal between Zhang Yao and Ye Zhixing, and Ye Youran's life needs to be saved first.
As for the first place in the selection of the eight disciples, Zhang Yao will try his best to win. But if it really fails, he can just join the Thunder Fire Sect first and then find an opportunity to get rid of Yin Tingxue.
Find Ye Youran first.
Just when Zhang Yao made his decision, a warning sign suddenly appeared in his heart.
Zhang Yao didn't hesitate, he exerted force with his legs, performed the stance technique, and his body suddenly moved sideways by one foot.
puff!
A ray of cold light pierced Zhang Yao's shadow that was left on the spot, and slanted into the earth. The half of the exposed sword body trembled, and the sword body buzzed.
Zhang Yao turned around and saw a person slowly walking out from behind a stone not far away.
"Hey! I can actually avoid the attack of the spiritual sword." The man looked at Zhang Yao with a surprised look on his face.
In this person's view, Zhang Yao is just a first-grade minor monk. The sword just now would have been difficult for a second-grade monk to avoid. That sword was enough to kill Zhang Yao! As a result, the spiritual sword fell and only pierced through it.
Zhang Yao's shadow remained in place, and Zhang Yao's true body had avoided the attack of the spiritual sword.
The man said no more, stretched out his hand and made a move, and the spiritual sword rose into the air.
"disease!"
The spiritual sword flew up and stabbed Zhang Yao again.
After this person appeared, he slowly walked towards Zhang Yao. The distance between the two of them continued to shorten. When this person raised his spiritual sword again, Zhang Yao was only ten feet away from this person.
This person is in the third level, and Zhang Yao is only in the first level. How can a third-level monk take Zhang Yao seriously?
When the third-grade monk wielded the spiritual sword again, Zhang Yao had already moved first. His legs were thrown away, and the distance of one foot seemed to disappear. Zhang Yao was in front of the third-grade monk in an instant.
"So fast!" I saw a string of afterimages crossing the void, and Zhang Yao was already in front of him. The third-grade monk's eyes twitched, and he tried to distance himself.
Zhang Yao is already approaching, how can he give the third-grade monks a chance to retreat?
He reached out and pulled, and Zhang Yao grabbed the third-grade monk by his neck and pulled him in front of him.
"Are you from the Ling family or the Chu family?" Zhang Yao looked at the other party.
Zhang Yao's neck was locked. As long as Zhang Yao exerted a little force, the man would be killed on the spot.
This man was covered in cold sweat. Fortunately, Zhang Yao didn't have any intention of killing immediately and instead asked questions.
"I am neither the Ling family nor the Chu family. It's just that after I appeared here, the first person I met was you. I was worried that you would attack me, so I would strike first!" At this point, the third-grade monk's eyes deepened.
There was a flash of light. Just as he was answering Zhang Yao, the man's spiritual sword had already shot towards Zhang Yao's temple from the side. The next moment, Zhang Yao would be dead on the spot.
call out!
The spiritual sword shot out.
Zhang Yao had already noticed it and took a step back.
Zhang Yao was holding the third-grade monk, and after taking a step back, Zhang Yao stood in a new position. The third-grade monk completely took Zhang Yao's previous position.
The third-level monk was held by Zhang Yao's neck. While answering, he controlled the spiritual sword, trying to kill Zhang Yao in one fell swoop. The speed of the spiritual sword was so fast!
"Stop!"
The two black eyes of the third-grade monk were tilted towards the direction in which the spiritual sword was flying. His eyes were filled with fear and he shouted.
The spirit sword is already slowing down, and if it is a little further away, it might be able to stop.
But when changing positions, the tip of the spiritual sword was almost touching the temple of the third-grade monk. Although the third-grade monk tried his best to control it, the spiritual sword could no longer stop.
puff!
The spirit sword pierced the man's head, bringing out a stream of red blood and flying out into the distance.
The sword master was dead, but due to inertia, the spirit sword continued to fly for a certain distance before falling to the ground.
Zhang Yao let go and the man died on the spot.
This man is dead, but the fear and unwillingness before death can be seen on his face.
He, a third-grade monk, died in the hands of a first-grade monk. Not only that, he was stabbed to death by his own spiritual sword, and his death was extremely aggrieved.
Zhang Yao found a small black bag and two jade bottles on the corpse of a third-grade monk.
There is an ancient character embroidered on the small black bag, which should be the surname of this person's family.
Zhang Yao took a glance.
What word?
Zhang Yao aimed at it, and it aimed at Zhang Yao. They didn't know each other.
Everyone is cold, no matter what his last name is!
Regardless of the person's last name, Zhang Yao opened the small black bag and looked inside. As expected, there were ten faith stones that were slightly larger than rice grains.
These ten faith stones are in better quality than the ones Zhang Yao carries, and they should be first-grade faith stones.
With these ten first-grade faith stones, the hundred faith stones given by the Ye family are no longer needed. Zhang Yao took out a small black bag from his arms with the word "LE" embroidered on it. With a sweep of his mental power, "YE"
The small black bag with the words deflated instantly. At the same time, a large piece of spiritual light flew into Zhang Yao's eyebrows.
The spiritual value instantly increased by ninety.
The Ye family gave one hundred ordinary faith stones. But before entering the forbidden area, Zhang Yao used ten of them in order to figure out how to control the faith stones to turn into green light.
A sweep of mental power or contact with Qi and blood can turn the Faith Stone into green light. If you isolate mental power and Qi and blood, the Faith Stone will not turn into green light even if your body comes into contact with it. Zhang Yaodi
When the Xinli Stone was touched once, the Qi and blood were not completely isolated, so the Xinli Stone turned into green light on the spot.
The ten first-grade faith stones were transferred to the small black bag with the word "leaf", and the small black bag with the word "ha" was discarded.
Zhang Yao opened the jade bottle. There were two jade bottles. One contained powder and the other contained liquid. They didn't look like poisonous things, but more like healing medicine. Zhang Yao was not sure either.
Specific uses of powder and liquid, cover it again and put it in your arms.
Except for the small black bag and two jade bottles, the third-level monk had no other precious items on his body. Zhang Yao walked aside and picked up the spirit sword.
This spiritual sword lost its owner and could no longer fly.
Zhang Yao stayed in the Ye Family Kung Fu Pavilion for ten days and already understood the various methods of the monks.
The spirit sword is the most common offensive weapon used by monks.
Spiritual swords are a type of spiritual weapon. Spiritual weapons are divided into six grades: pseudo-spiritual weapons, low-grade, medium-grade, high-grade, top-grade, and super-grade.
After taking a closer look at the spiritual sword, I saw that this spiritual sword was completely silver and had no spiritual points. There was not a single spiritual point, which meant that this spiritual sword was just a fake spiritual weapon.
"Petrified!" Zhang Yao muttered silently, and his palm instantly became as black as ink.
The first level nine refinements, the second level nine refinements, plus petrification, this is a triple defense.
Zhang Yao took the spiritual sword and cut his palm.
The spirit sword made a heart-wrenching sound as it passed across the palm, but the palm was unharmed.
Zhang Yao increased his strength a little more, but his palm was still intact.
A wisp of spiritual energy enveloped the spiritual sword, and the spiritual sword gradually floated into the air.
Swordsmanship!
call out!
The spirit sword shot down.
when!
The spiritual sword collided with the palm, and the spiritual sword seemed to hit the steel shield.
After several attempts, Zhang Yao determined that the fake spiritual weapon could not break through the triple defense.
However, although the triple defense is powerful, it is not invincible. I wonder which level of spiritual weapon the triple defense can block?
