Suori smiled and replied: "Young man, you are overthinking. I am only optimistic about your future. Besides, as an elder in the sect, I also have the obligation to discover some young people with potential."
Zhan Chen looked thoughtful after hearing his words.
Suoli continued to explain: "I told you before that our Yingwu Sect is just an organization gathered by casual cultivators. The purpose of everyone being together is to take care of each other when entering Dinghai Peak, because that peak contains
The power of various laws and some trials require the cooperation between monks to pass."
"Senior, what is the situation in Dinghai Peak?" Zhan Chen asked again.
Suoli smiled and said: "You will know if you have been there, but you need to queue up to enter Dinghaifeng. Each major force will arrange a fixed quota. I will apply for one for you next time."
"Okay, please be sure to apply to me."
"Also, Dinghai Peak is usually surrounded by a powerful barrier. Even the nine-star star realm experts cannot easily approach. Only every hundred years will the strength of the barrier weaken. At this time, several nine-star earth star realm experts will be needed to join forces.
Only by tearing a small opening in the barrier, you should know why there is a quota for entry."
"It seems that I must join the Yingwu Sect." Zhan Chen said.
"Smart, I will take you to go through the formalities. By the way, the next time the secret realm is opened will be forty-three years later. You can just go back and wait slowly. By then, the sect will arrange strong people to lead the team. I miss you."
As long as you don't run around casually, there shouldn't be any problems."
"OK."
The two went out while chatting, and then Suoli took Zhan Chen to a place called the Recruitment Hall to go through the entry procedures.
Zhan Chen was given a jade plaque, which recorded his basic information. At this point, he was considered a member of the Yingwu Sect.
Of course, this so-called sect is very different from the sects Zhan Chen has seen before. It does not provide a monthly salary, but only provides a residence. It is unrestrained at ordinary times and only needs to complete some duties on a regular basis, that's all.
Zhan Chen was just a strong man who had just entered the stellar realm, so the treatment he received was naturally not much better. The cave he was given was only the most ordinary, not even as good as the one he rented before.
The most important thing for Zhan Chen was the training room. The spirit gathering effect of the spiritual array arranged in the room was one level worse than that of the guest room, and the time acceleration effect was only one-tenth of that of the guest room.
But after all, this training room was free of charge, so he had no dissatisfaction in his heart and quickly entered the state of cultivation calmly...
Time flies by, and forty-three years is just a blink of an eye in the eyes of the monks.
Zhan Chen woke up from his training state, walked out of the training room, and met at Suoli's home as scheduled.
The two exchanged a few words and then set off. Suoli took Zhan Chen to the foot of Dinghai Peak.
There were already many monks gathered there, about a thousand of them, and most of their cultivation levels were much higher than Zhan Chen's, which made Zhan Chen feel a lot of pressure in his heart.
He had a hunch that his adventure this time might be quite risky.
The two arrived at the gathering place of Yingwumen, and Zhan Chen found that nearly twenty people were already waiting there.
An old man with platinum curly hair saw Sori and said, "Sori, you are late this time. As a leader, this is not a responsible attitude."
"Godonis, I didn't expect that an old guy like you is still alive." Sori greeted him with a smile, ignoring his questioning.
"Hmph, my health is fine. I brought my apprentice here to participate in the trial, but you seem to have brought a newcomer this time. Is there any problem with his cultivation?" Godonis looked at it.
Zhan Chen behind Xiang Suori.
"Of course, I will protect him."
"Oh, I didn't expect you to be so kind."
"I am kind to every disciple, because what we need most in the secret realm is unity."
"Well, I hope that's the case. You should be careful not to capsize in the gutter."
"Of course I know, but we monks are all about opportunities. If we are not willing to take risks, how can we achieve today's achievements?"
"Okay, I will stay outside later, and I will leave my disciple to you. You must take care of him. If there is even a hair missing, I will settle the account with you."
Godonis said, patting a young man standing next to him.
Zhan Chen looked at him and found that he was a handsome young cultivator, who seemed to be younger than himself, with blue hair and blue eyes, a high nose, and an arrogant look on his face, as if he didn't care about anyone.
Suori looked at the young man, a trace of displeasure flashed in his eyes, but he quickly covered it up and said with a smile: "Godonis, your disciple is really amazing. This time there is a breakthrough. How many years have passed?"
ah."
"Yes, my Augusto is already a strong man in the three-star star realm. His qualifications are a thousand times better than mine, and he has more hope of breaking through the black hole realm in the future."
The serious Godonis couldn't help but smile proudly when he talked about his apprentice.
"Three-star Earth Star Realm powerhouse, it seems that there are many people in this world who are better than me. I am afraid that my cultivation level is the lowest in this trial. It seems that I have to follow Sori carefully. After all, does he have any
The cultivation level of the six-star star realm." Zhan Chen thought secretly on the side.
Although he didn't understand why Sori was being so nice to him, he clearly felt that Sori had no ill intentions toward him and it didn't look like he was pretending.
Suori smiled and said: "Old friend, don't worry, it's just an ordinary trial. I will definitely be able to keep him safe."
Godonis looked at Augusto and said, "Why don't you say hello to Uncle Soli?"
Augusto stepped forward and saluted Sori, but said nothing, which made Godonis's face not look good.
He hurriedly concealed his smile and said: "Look at my apprentice, he has always been taciturn. Brother, please don't mind."
"Haha, how could it be? At our age, do you still mind if you are a junior?" Sori also laughed.
"Augusto, hurry up and get behind Sori, the secret realm is about to open." Godonis gave Augusto a wink.
Only then did Augusto stand behind Sori. He glanced at Zhan Chen inadvertently, and then stopped paying any attention to him.
This attitude made Zhan Chen very unhappy, but on the surface he didn't show anything.
With his cultivation level there, even if he adds the power of the law, he can at most deal with two strong people in the stellar realm. What's more, many strong people in the stellar realm have also realized the power of the law, let alone a genius like Augusto.
.
Zhan Chen had a feeling that the gap in strength between him and himself would be greater than the gap in cultivation.
However, his thoughts were immediately interrupted, because at this time, five strong men stood at the forefront of the barrier blocking Dinghai Peak.
The five powerful men are all at the pinnacle of the Nine-Star Star Realm. They worked together to tear apart the barrier.
There was a small opening that only allowed three people to pass through side by side.
At the same time, one of them shouted: "The barrier has been opened, everyone can enter Dinghai Peak."
"Let's go." Sori said to the people behind him, and the people behind him followed him towards the entrance.
Zhan Chen looked around him and found that there were only sixteen people, including Sori, who entered the secret trial on behalf of the Yingwu Sect this time.
When Sori came to the entrance, he was stopped by a man. He confirmed: "Which force do you belong to?"
Sori showed him a token on his body and said, "We belong to the Yingwu Sect."
"The quota allocated to the Yingwu Sect is sixteen people——"
"You see, they are all behind me, no more, no less."
"Okay, you can go in."
Sori led the people through the barrier.
Zhan Chen felt a daze in front of his eyes. When he looked carefully at the scene in front of him, it was already very different from before. What stood in front of him was a huge mountain reaching the sky. It was so high that it didn't reach its top. It was completely different from the Dinghai Peak he saw outside the barrier.
language.
Suoli looked at the mountain with a solemn look on his face and said to Zhan Chen: "This is the true face of Dinghai Peak. There are strong restrictions here, and everyone's cultivation will be suppressed to the maximum extent, and
You can't fly, so you can only climb mountains on foot. This mountain is full of dangers, and there are very powerful star beasts, and their cultivation is not restricted. You must follow me carefully later."
Zhan Chen also looked at the mountain in front of him in shock and asked: "Senior, how high is this mountain?"
Suori shook his head and said: "No one can know, because the higher you go, the stronger the suppression will be, and it can even make it difficult for you to move even an inch. Even the strongest person at the peak of the Nine-Star Star Realm can reach up to 35,000 meters at most.
There’s nothing you can do about it going up.”
"There is such a thing." Zhan Chen couldn't help shouting.
The cultivator's perception is extremely powerful. With Zhan Chen's level, he can already see the mountain 100,000 meters high.
But such a powerful nine-star star realm expert can reach a height of 35,000 meters at most.
This made him more curious about the mountain in front of him.
At this time, Suoli took out a stack of magic talismans and handed one to Zhan Chen, saying, "Zhan Chen, this is a teleportation talisman. You may not know it when you first arrived at Yingwumen."
Zhan Chen took the talisman and asked, "Where is the location of this teleportation talisman?"
"It was teleported to me. Although in this secret realm, our major forces have entered into an agreement not to attack each other, it does not mean that accidents will not happen, such as encountering an overly powerful star beast or triggering a
Any restrictions or whatever, then you can activate the magic talisman to teleport to me."
"Thank you, elder." Zhan Chen said after taking the talisman.
"Okay, let's get one for each of the others." Sori distributed the talismans to the others.
"Elder Sori, can we go and practice separately now?" Augusto asked.
"Okay, we can break up and practice."
Everyone then dispersed, broke into the dense forest, and disappeared after a while.
Only Suoli and Zhan Chen were left on the ground.
Zhan Chen had just arrived, so naturally he didn't dare to run around casually. Besides, he also wanted to understand why Suoli paid so much attention to him.
Sure enough, Suoli turned back to look at Zhan Chen and said, "Zhan Chen, let's go too. I want you to do something for me."
