The Sword Testing Tower is a hexagonal tower with nine floors in total, each about seven meters high. Within a hundred meters of the Sword Testing Tower, spiritual consciousness cannot penetrate, as if there is a barrier blocking the spiritual consciousness of all monks.
Perception, and what is even more peculiar is that the Sword Testing Tower does not have only one door. There are three doors on each of the six walls of the hexagonal structure: a large middle door, and two slightly smaller side doors on the left and right.
The middle door can accommodate six people entering side by side, and the side door can also accommodate three people entering side by side.
When the sword trial building was officially opened, Su Anran, Ye Yunchi and others gradually moved forward with the crowd.
Because of the special nature of the secret realm of the Sword Trial Tower, even if you enter it hand in hand, you will be separated. Moreover, according to the different cultivation levels of each sword cultivator, the tests they face will be different, so naturally
It doesn't matter which door you enter through.
While waiting for the Sword Testing Tower to open, Su Anran was listening to Ye Yunchi's story about the history of Wanjian Tower. Naturally, he knew that it was the ancestors of Wanjian Tower who discovered the Sword Testing Tower here and benefited from it.
, and then gradually formed the current Wanjian Tower.
The history of Wanjian Tower can probably be traced back to six thousand years ago. At that time, the Demon Alliance was just established. The human race also fell into a relatively chaotic period due to the split of Lingshan and the collapse of the Sword Sect, so it gave the Demon Alliance a chance to recuperate.
A chance to breathe. It was also at that time that the human race had to join a group to keep warm due to the huge chaos. As a result, there was naturally no room for casual cultivators to survive.
It can be said that the earliest Wanjian Tower was a spontaneous gathering of a group of casual sword cultivators.
Later, the Sword Trial Tower was discovered, and the gathering place was moved to the Sword Trial Tower, which was opened every twenty years. Later, because of joining the group to keep warm, and because everyone's swordsmanship was different,
That's why it was named "Wanjian Tower".
The "ten thousand" among them initially refers to the ambition of this group of sword cultivators.
Ten Thousand Swords, Ten Thousand Sword Techniques - Of course, in the earliest days, the word "Wan" was naturally a function word. Unlike today's Wanjian Tower, the word "Wan" has become a real quantifier: Wanjian
Lou really has more than 10,000 sword techniques.
The word "lou" refers to the secret realm of "Testing Sword Tower", the core inheritance of Wanjian Tower.
As for the word "Jian", it includes the meanings of "Ten Thousand Sword Techniques", "Sword Test Tower", "Sword Cultivator Assembly", etc.
This is the origin of the three words "Wanjian Tower".
Yin Lingzhu is the third generation disciple of a certain senior sword cultivator in the earliest sword cultivator gathering.
When Wanjian Tower was later established, neither Yin Lingzhu’s master nor his master became the real head of Wanjian Tower. When Ye Yunchi mentioned this, he said that the environment of Wanjian Tower was very special at that time. Because of the four veins
Because of the thousands of peaks, the earliest Wanjian Tower was composed of the thirty-six peak leaders who were the strongest among the thousands of peaks. They formed an elders' council to jointly negotiate the development of the entire Wanjian Tower.
The peak master can also be regarded as the head of Wanjian Tower.
There are thirty-six heads of a sect. This kind of outrageous thing can only be done by Wanjianlou in the early Xuanjie.
So when Yin Lingzhu became strong enough, he deeply felt that this approach was wrong, so he, together with his junior brother, as well as a group of young swordsmen with great ambitions such as the sword madman who had not yet become a peerless swordsman, overthrew Wanjian Tower in one fell swoop.
The backward governance method that lasted for two thousand years laid the most important foundation for Wanjian Tower to become the first of the four sword cultivation holy places.
In a sense, Yin Lingzhu is the first generation head of Wanjian Tower.
But in a historical sense, he is the third generation leader, or... the seventy-third generation?
Of course, not everyone supports Yin Lingzhu's changes.
So when Yin Lingzhu became the only leader of Wanjian Tower, many peak masters left with their disciples. That period was also the period when Wanjian Tower was at its weakest - but from today's perspective,
In fact, it can be regarded as one of Yin Lingzhu's methods to rectify Wanjian Tower: those who leave are the rotten ones who are addicted to the so-called power, and those who remain are the truly ambitious ones.
After that, Yin Lingzhu took out the "Sword Code" from the Sword Testing Tower and allowed the sword cultivators who were still left at that time to understand it. This led to the Wanjian Tower's myriad sword techniques.
Those who left Wanjian Tower felt deceived at this time, and asked Yin Lingzhu to give them the "Sword Code", but Yin Lingzhu firmly refused - among this group of people,
The most violent one was the Huanjian Sect, so there was a story that Fang Qing massacred the entire Huanjian Sect alone.
So it is not difficult to imagine what the people who originally called Wanjianlou as the second magic gate were talking about.
As far as the timeline is concerned, when Yin Lingzhu reorganized Wanjian Tower, it happened to be when Ye Jinxuan's predecessor led the Demon Sect to conquer most of the Mysterious Realm. Both parties were busy in their respective fields, so there was nothing
Such entanglement. Later, Ye Jinxuan was killed by other sects together, causing the Demon Sect to truly fall into the demon world and start wreaking havoc in the Xuan Realm. Yin Lingzhu was also busy fighting with those guys with ill intentions, and the two sides also had nothing to do with each other.
However, Su Anran was keenly aware that during the two most important periods when Yin Lingzhu was handling the affairs of Wanjian Tower, there seemed to be a group of experts who came and went without a trace. Su Anran felt that Huang Zi was so lively
His character must be involved, and then thinking about the identities of the many sect leaders who came forward to protect Tu Fangqing, he probably already knows who those group of experts who came and went without a trace are.
The only thing I don't know is what role Huang Zi plays in this group of people.
But thinking about it carefully, it was fortunate that Huang Zi was busy helping Yin Lingzhu handle the sect affairs at that time and missed the stage of fighting with the Demon Sect. Therefore, when Ye Jinxuan later went to Taiyi Valley to worship Huang Zi as her teacher, she was not so resistant.
This made Su Anran more aware of the mythical saying "one drink, one peck".
Perhaps in the occult world, there really is a saying of "reincarnation of cause and effect".
Although the stories I heard from Ye Yunchi were quite complicated, and most of them revolved around who Yin Lingzhu was fighting with today, who he was fighting with yesterday, and who he was fighting with tomorrow, it seemed that he was never fighting with others.
It was on the way to fight with others. But after peeling off the cocoon, Su Anran discovered that this series of things all revolved around the Sword Testing Tower and the "Sword Code".
If there was no Trial Sword Tower, there would be no Wanjian Tower.
Without Wanjian Tower, Yin Lingzhu would not have become the leader of Wanjian Tower.
So going forward, when did Yin Lingzhu want to become the head of Wanjian Tower?
It was after he entered the sword trial building.
Why did he want to become the leader of Wanjian Tower after entering the Sword Trial Tower?
Why does he think he can lead the entire Wanjian Tower to grow?
Of course it's because he owns the "Sword Code".
Then moving forward, when did he possess the "Sword Code"?
In other words, where did his "Sword Code" come from?
All the answers point to the Sword Testing Tower.
Therefore, when the sword trial building was officially opened, Su Anran couldn't help but feel a little excited.
The first of the four major sword cultivating holy places is said to be Wanjian Tower, but everyone knows that this is just gilding.
The real head of the holy land for sword cultivation is actually the Sword Testing Tower.
"Squeak——"
There was a somewhat harsh sound of the door shaft opening.
There were no soaring beams of light or special effects that even the Hollywood super team could not imagine. It was just such a dull sound of opening the wooden door. Even because eighteen doors opened at the same time, there was only a "squeaking" sound.
On the contrary, the scene seemed quite strange.
There are some scary scenes from world-famous ghost movies.
"What's the point?"
As the crowd came to the door, Su Anran asked.
"If you are confident about your strength, you can go to the middle door. If not, then go to the side door." Ye Yunchi thought for a while, and then said, "But I think it is better for Master Su to go to the middle door. I, the sword cultivator, should do it.
He has the courage to move forward...Those who go through the side door are all unpromising guys."
Because it was through sound transmission, Ye Yunchi was not afraid of offending those sword cultivators who entered through the side door.
Su Anran curled her lips inwardly: "If you enter through different doors, will the reward be affected?"
"Yes." Ye Yunchi nodded, "When you enter from the middle door, you will have a deeper understanding. However, the challenge will naturally be more difficult."
Su Anran nodded clearly.
He saw that a large number of sword cultivators squeezed in from the side door, and very few entered from the middle door.
After thinking for a moment, Su Anran understood the intentions of these people.
Most people come here for the "Sword Code", and as long as they can step onto the sixth floor, they will naturally have a chance to observe the "Sword Code". So these people all want to watch the "Sword Code"
, instead of wanting to gain insights from the Sword Testing Tower, naturally I would rather choose the side door with a lower test difficulty.
"Junior brother, see you in twenty days." Ye Jinxuan smiled and then stepped into the middle door.
"Uncle Su, see you in twenty days." Ye Yunchi, Nai Yue, Zhao Xiaoran and others also said hello to Su Anran one after another and walked in from the middle door.
Su Anran curled her lips.
To be honest, he was still a little hesitant about the test in the Sword Trial Tower.
Others think he is very powerful, and there is absolutely no problem in this test. But Su Anran knows very well that his comprehension is really not good, and most of the assessment items in the Sword Trial House are related to the swordsmanship comprehension talent, which makes him really
It's a bit confusing.
If his golden finger system was still normal before, Su Anran is not afraid.
But for some reason, the system that should have been upgraded yesterday was stuck in the "upgrading" state after the countdown ended, which made Su Anran feel like he was vomiting blood.
Without special achievement points, how can he use cheating to clear the level?
But now it was hard to get off the tiger, and Su Anran had no choice.
After thinking about it, he moved towards the side door.
"Husband."
In the divine sea, Shi Lezhi's voice suddenly came: "Don't go here."
"What?" Su Anran was stunned.
"Don't take this door, take the middle door."
The word "囧" was written on Su Anran's face: "Why?"
All of you want me to cum... No, what's the deal with creampie?
Why do I have the feeling that "there are always unscrupulous people trying to harm me"?
"I don't know, but... I think this place is so familiar." Shi Lezhi said, "I can't remember the details, but I just feel a sense of nostalgia. We must enter through the middle door."
Su Anran was stunned.
Others don't know that Shi Lezhi is in his body, and even the Xieming Sword Sect doesn't know the specific origin of Shi Lezhi.
But Su Anran knows!
This guy is the evil thought that was cut out of the body of a certain powerful person from the Sword Sect when he emerged.
This method is somewhat similar to the Taoist method of killing three corpses.
Although most of the contents preserved by Shi Lezhi are poisonous, her true identity is that of a genuine descendant of the Sword Sect. At this time, she actually said that she was familiar with the Sword Testing Tower, so does this mean that the Sword Testing Tower is actually the sword sect of the past?
Zong’s legacy?
All kinds of thoughts flashed through Su Anran's mind.
"Hey, are you leaving or not?" A sword cultivator glanced at Su Anran and saw that he had been staying at the door for a long time. He couldn't help but feel a little angry, "If you don't have the guts, go into the side door. Why are you struggling here?
Do you know that you are blocking the way of the people behind you?"
"call."
Su Anran let out a breath, and then he didn't bother to pay attention to the sword cultivator who was still cursing. He turned around and walked towards the middle door.
If he was alone, and according to his nature of seeking stability and being stubborn, he would definitely have taken a side route just to be on the safe side.
Being able to successfully climb to the sixth floor and obtain the qualification to observe the "Sword Classic" is the real big deal.
But now, there is Shi Lezhi in his divine sea, and he cannot be regarded as a person without worries. So since Shi Lezhi is familiar with the Sword Testing Tower, even if it only exists one ten thousandth, it is possible that Shi Lezhi can recall more things.
If possible, Su Anran is willing to do it.
After all, Shi Lezhi also helped him a lot - even though she was particularly keen on driving and always wanted to have a baby with him.
Stepping into the middle door, Su Anran felt like the world was spinning.
He had a strong sense of dizziness.
But at this moment, Shi Lezhi in the divine sea radiated a soft brilliance, helping Su Anran stabilize the spiritual platform and restore some clarity.
As a result, Su Anran felt the sword light flying across the sky in the dark space.
Some sword lights are dull in color, while others are bright in color.
But whether it was a dim sword light or a bright and brilliant sword light, Su Anran felt completely different.
For example, the same brilliant sword light, but some make Su Anran feel creepy, and some make Su Anran feel quite disgusted; bright sword light, although most of them have a kind of warmth and splendor, but the depth of this feeling
But there was an aura of desolation that made him shudder; as for the bleakness, not all of it made people sad, but some also made Su Anran feel relaxed and happy.
"What are these?"
"Test." Shi Lezhi said in Su Anran's mind, "If you come in from the side door, you can't choose by yourself, you will only be randomly assigned. And if you come in from the middle door, as long as you can resist the sword light that confused your mind at first, you can choose by yourself.
A test...these sword lights are a test, husband, you can choose the one you feel comfortable with based on your intuition."
"That's it." Su Anran nodded, "That's not bad."
He thought for a moment, and then slowly approached a sword light that was dim in color but full of warm aura.
"After choosing?"
"I have no idea."
"Huh?" Su Anran was confused, "What do you mean?"
"I don't know what will happen after I choose." Shi Lezhi's tone was quite innocent.
"Didn't you say you feel familiar?"
"Yes." Shi Lezhi said with an affirmative attitude, "I do feel quite familiar with that building door. Later, when my husband came in here and saw these sword lights, I naturally understood the meaning of those sword lights.
.”
"No, just wait." Su Anran took a deep breath, "I chose the middle gate specifically to help you recover your memory! Now you tell me that you don't know what to do next.
, what are the meanings of this."
Shi Lezhi was silent for a long time.
Then there was a feeling of "caring for the fool", and the tone was faint: "Husband, I am a fragment of my thoughts chopped off by this deity. All my memories, knowledge, and cognitions are all from what this deity left me.
That part. So if I didn’t leave any memory for me, I wouldn’t be able to remember it... Husband, did you misunderstand something?"
