"You have to listen slowly to what I tell you about this." Zhou Deyun raised his head and took a sip of wine and said: "This continent is called Tianlan Continent. It was formed millions of years ago. The heaven and earth are filled with the spiritual energy of the five elements and are divided into gold and silver.

, wood, water, fire, and earth. At the beginning of the formation of the continent, there were five mythical beasts: Qinglong, white tiger, redbird, Xuanwu, and Qilin protecting the five directions of southeast, northwest, and central.

, dominates the west, Suzaku belongs to fire and dominates the south, Xuanwu belongs to water and dominates the north, Qilin belongs to earth and dominates the middle earth."

"In addition to humans, there are countless savage beasts on the mainland. No matter humans or beasts, they are born with one of the five elements of spiritual power. Everyone's natural spiritual power is strong or weak, and people with too weak spiritual power cannot

Those who practice cultivation can only live their lives as ordinary mortals."

"How can I know whether my spiritual power is strong or weak?" Lan Ye asked.

"Then you have to use a spirit-testing stone. The spirit-testing stone is a thing specially used to test the strength of spiritual power. There are ten light beam slots on the stone. When the person testing the stone puts his hand on the stone, the stone will light up three or more.

If there are multiple light pillars, it means that this person can enter the path of spiritual practice, while a person with only one or two light pillars cannot practice."

"Oh, that's it!" Lan Ye nodded, and then said: "Is there anyone who can't light up even a beam of light?"

Zhou Deyun squinted, looked into the distance, and said, "Yes! But so far, there is only one person!"

"Is there really one? Who is it?" Lan Ye suddenly became energetic.

"If not a single beam of light shines, it means that this person is born without spiritual power." Zhou Deyun said slowly: "This situation has only happened to one person in millions of years, and this person is Qin Shang, the emperor of all ages!"

"Qin Shang, the Emperor of Eternity?" Lan Ye repeated, a little confused.

"Well, this person will talk to you later. Let's continue what we just said." Zhou Deyun took a breath and continued: "Human beings can only be regarded as spiritual beings at first. Only when they reach the realm of spiritual gathering masters can they be considered to have entered the path of cultivation.

Above the spiritual gathering master is the spiritual master, and above that is the spiritual master, and the highest is the mysterious spiritual master. And your father is the mysterious spiritual master. It is said that above the mysterious spiritual master there is a super spiritual saint, that is, a god.

No one has become a god since the one emperor of eternity."

"God? Is that the most powerful one?" Lan Ye couldn't help but ask.

"Of course. The five great beasts are the real gods, and the eternal emperor is also a god!" Zhou Deyun replied.

"There is a protective shield in the outer space of the mainland to resist intruders from the outside world, and the shield is supported by the five divine beasts. Every 100,000 years, the five divine beasts will fall into a deep sleep, and the spiritual power of the shield will weaken. One year later, the five divine beasts will

Wake up and work together to hold up the Gangshield again."

"According to historical data, when the Gangshield weakened again a hundred thousand years ago, creatures from the outside world suddenly invaded in large numbers. The strong humans and beasts on the mainland joined forces to resist desperately. However, the creatures from the outside world were too powerful. In less than half a year, the powerful people from the mainland

The brutal beasts suffered heavy casualties and were unable to fight anymore."

"The five divine beasts forcibly woke up from their slumber. Due to the decline of their divine power, even though they exhausted their divine power, they were still unable to reverse the situation of the war. They had to retreat to their respective forbidden areas and continue to fall into deep sleep. At this critical moment, Qin Shang, the emperor of all ages, rose to the level of a super-spiritual saint.

He single-handedly resisted a million-strong army from the outside world. The battle lasted for three days and three nights. Qin Shang was seriously injured, but he still stood up with his sword and did not fall."

"The invading army from the outside world has been slaughtered by the Great Emperor. Only a dozen strong men are left, but all of them are seriously injured and unable to fight anymore. Frightened by Qin Shang's power, everyone's liver and gallbladder were broken, and they fled the mainland in a hurry in their aircraft."

"During this battle, the invaders from the outside world were severely injured, and they were unable to launch another invasion war for many years. And most of the powerful people in Tianlan Continent were killed or injured. The five great beasts died due to exhaustion of their divine power, leaving only their respective inheritances.

Among the Five Forbidden Lands, and a piece of the Five Elements Divine Stone. Qin Shang suppressed his injury and borrowed the Five Elements Divine Stone to repair the Gangshield. After the Gangshield was repaired, Qin Shang finally consumed too much spiritual power and eventually disappeared into ashes, and the Five Elements Divine Stone was also left on the mainland.

Somewhere in the dirt!”

Zhou Deyun said many things in one breath, his mouth was dry, and he poured another sip of wine into his mouth: "It is impossible for ordinary people to know these things. Only the royal family or the ancient sect know."

"Then how do you know?" Lan Ye looked unbelieving.

Zhou Deyun looked around mysteriously and whispered: "This is a secret!"

"cut!"

"Hahaha!" Zhou Deyun laughed proudly. After laughing, he took another sip of wine and smacked his mouth, enjoying himself very much.

"No?" Lan Ye asked anxiously after waiting for a long time but didn't see him continuing.

"Well, no!" Zhou Deyun replied.

"You haven't told me about my parents yet?" Lan Ye asked.

Zhou Deyun glanced at him and said: "That's it for today. Sooner or later you will know about your parents. Again, when you are strong enough, I will tell you all the truth!"

"I have to become stronger quickly!" Lan Ye secretly thought, although he was a little disappointed, there was nothing he could do about it.

…

Early the next morning, it was just dawn.

Pan Xiaofang had arrived in front of the courtyard and called out through the courtyard door: "Brother Aye, Uncle Liufu, have you gotten up?"

"Ah -" Lan Ye yawned and pushed open the door, saying: "It's so early, sister Xiaofang, what's going on?"

"Didn't you go out to find your parents yesterday? I was worried about you, so I came over to see you. Hey, it's great that you didn't leave!" Pan Xiaofang was a child, and she said whatever was in her heart.

"Hey, don't leave. When I become stronger, I will go out to find them!" Lan Yehan said with a smile.

"Oh, by the way, Beiming Academy has come to our village to recruit disciples again. The selection will start at the entrance of the village in the afternoon. I'll come over and tell you. Remember to go." Pan Xiaofang said: "I'll go home first and prepare to go. This year I will also

I want to participate, see you soon."

After saying that, Lan Ye ran away without waiting for anything to say, her two little pigtails swaying from side to side, looking particularly cute.

Lan Ye looked at her back and said with a smile: "Little girl, you are so rude. She ran away without saying anything. Oh, I have to find some time to educate her!"

"Uncle Liufu, Uncle Liufu, have you gotten up?" Lan Ye turned back to the house and shouted.

"It's so noisy, it's so early in the morning, are you the reincarnation of a rooster?" Zhou Deyun walked out with a drunken look.

"Uncle Liufu, today Beiming Academy came to our village to recruit people again. It's only once a year. You didn't let me go last year. You will let me go this year, right?" Lan Ye pulled Zhou Deyun's sleeve and begged.'

"I won't go." Zhou Deyun didn't even think about it.

"Why?" Lan Ye still didn't give up.

"There is no reason, I just won't go." Zhou Deyun had a tough attitude.

"I must go this year." Lan Ye shook off his sleeves and said, "Uncle Liufu, didn't you say yesterday that if you want me to become stronger quickly, I will also avenge my parents, so I must go!

Otherwise, I have to wait another year, and I don’t want to wait anymore!”

"Oh, you don't have to choose this path to become stronger!"

"If you don't choose this one? Which one should you choose? Climbing mountains, lifting stones, and dancing every day? It's been like this every day for two years. Apart from being physically stronger and having more flexible body movements, there is nothing. There is no trace of a strong person.

Wow?" Lan Ye finally expressed the resentment accumulated in her heart.

"Okay!" Zhou Deyun looked at him, thought for a while, and said, "In that case, let you try it."

"Really, that's great!" Lan Ye jumped up.

"Let you give up!" Zhou Deyun said secretly in his heart.

…

At noon, the square at the entrance of Xiaoshi Village.

Miao Aiya was dressed in red, with long fiery red hair that just fell to her slightly upturned hips. Her two slender thighs were looming in the red skirt. She was holding a roster in her hand, with her eyes lowered, looking elegant.

And charming.

This time the academy sent her to various places to select talents, and this small village was the last stop.

"This is the last stop. After finishing the processing, you must take a good bath and rest." Miao Aiya thought to herself.

Many villagers have already gathered under the square. Everyone is very quiet and dare not make any noise.

"Teacher Miao," Village Chief Shi Mingfa walked up to the stone platform and said respectfully: "The time has come. Do you think we can start?"

"Well, okay!" Miao Aiya handed the list to Shi Mingfa and said softly: "I'm sorry to trouble Village Chief Shi."

Shi Mingfa was flattered and hurriedly lowered his head to take the list and said: "It should, it should."

"Cough, cough." Shi Mingfa turned around and cleared his throat. Everyone in the audience looked at him and stopped talking.

"This time Beiming Academy came to our village to recruit students and disciples. This is a great honor for our village." Shi Mingfa paused, turned to Miao Aiya and bowed his hands in greeting, and Miao Aiya nodded politely in response.

Shi Mingfa turned around and said: "No one in our village has passed the test in a hundred years. I hope someone can pass the test this year and bring glory to the village!"

The crowd was restless.

Shi Mingfa pressed his hands and said: "The test is very simple. The tester only needs to press his palms on the spirit test stone and concentrate. If he can light up the three light beams of the spirit test stone, he will pass. Now I will start to call the names, and everyone will come to the stage one by one.

Test. Do you understand?"

Shi Mingfa glanced at the people in the audience and saw that no one raised any objections. He nodded and said: "The first tester on stage is Wang Xiaolan."

A petite little girl walked timidly onto the stone platform and placed her hand on the spirit-detecting stone, which lit up a beam of light.

"If you don't pass, the next one is Zhao Dan'er."

Zhao Dan'er ran onto the stage with full confidence, but only a beam of light lit up. He immediately lowered his head and walked off the stage in disappointment.

…

When Lan Ye arrived, the test had already started for a while.

"Brother Aye, this way, this way." Pan Xiaofang squeezed out from the crowd and shouted softly.

"Well." Lan Ye walked to Pan Xiaofang and said, "How is it? Is it your turn?"

"Not yet. There are more than twenty people who have signed up this time. I signed up relatively late and was at the back of the queue. I will also sign up for you." Pan Xiaofang said.

"Oh, thank you, sister Xiaofang." Lan Ye said gratefully.
