After passing through a fog-like barrier, the vision suddenly opened up.
At the end of the Taixuan Ladder is a square paved with white jade. All the contestants who passed the first level of assessment gathered here. There are over a million people, but it is still not enough to fill the square.
Soon, the Taixuan Ladder disappeared, and all the contestants who failed the first level of assessment were teleported out of the mountain gate. The reality is so cruel, just one assessment shut out 99% of the people, and the remaining
The people below are not happy either, because there are more severe tests waiting for them later.
At this time, there was a commotion in the crowd, "Those inner sect elders have appeared again, are they trying to select disciples?"
Jiang Wen stood on tiptoes, raised his head and looked towards the end of the square. The elders of the inner sect of Taixuan Blessed Land who had appeared outside the mountain gate many times appeared again. If it were a normal assessment, there would definitely be no need for so many elders of the inner sect.
They were taking the exam together, so their appearance was most likely to select a favorite disciple among the contestants who had passed the first level of assessment.
Sure enough, these inner sect elders took action in an orderly manner and picked out talented players from the crowd. They seemed to have a tacit understanding and their goals were very clear. Once they found the player they liked, they would stop immediately.
Jiang Wen took a closer look and found that these selected geniuses were all super geniuses who had emerged outside the mountain gate. They had the cultivation level of the Sanxian realm at birth. Although they were not as good as those descendants of gods and saints, they were better than ordinary people.
Genius is obviously a level higher.
The reason why these inner sect elders did not accept them as disciples outside the mountain gate is because the identities of these people have not been verified, and there is a high possibility that there are spies from hostile sects and forces hidden among them. Now they have passed through the Taixuan Ladder.
The test, identity and origin are all worthy of trust. Naturally, there is no need to participate in other assessments, and you can be promoted directly to the inner disciple of Taixuan Paradise.
Three hundred and fifty-nine inner sect elders were selected in turn, and soon thousands of people were selected, which made the remaining contestants nervous. Without these strong contestants, the remaining contestants would have no choice in terms of strength or cultivation.
If both are evenly matched, the competition will become more intense.
Just when all the inner sect elders had finished selecting and were about to leave again, suddenly, a drunken voice rang out: "Wait a minute, we at Enlightenment Peak haven't selected our disciples yet, why are we leaving in a hurry?"
For a moment, everyone was stunned!
Enlightenment Peak? That branch of the main peak with only nine people. Haven't they long since declared themselves a sect and no longer accept disciples?
All the contestants who participated in the trial had strange expressions on their faces. Some people standing at the front of the crowd even took a few steps back unconsciously, fearing that they would be selected. And the elders of the inner sect who came to select disciples expressed their opinions one after another.
With a look of surprise and uncertainty, after tens of thousands of years, disciples from Wudao Peak have come down the mountain again. Could it be that the Taixuan Blessed Land, which has been peaceful for many years, is going to be in trouble again?
People outside do not understand the situation and only make wild guesses based on some fragmentary rumors. They think that the people at Enlightenment Peak are all crazy and that no one is normal. Even most of the inner disciples do not know the actual situation at Enlightenment Peak.
Thinking they are weak and can be bullied.
But the actual situation is that Wu Dao Peak is a taboo topic in Taixuan Blessed Land. Only the inner sect elders with advanced cultivation and higher-status true disciples truly understand the mystery and power of Wu Dao Peak.
Everyone's eyes were focused on the direction from which the sound came. A black figure walked out of the void. It was a thin old black horse, skinny and bones, and had ugly ringworm.
With a weak look, he panted and walked in front of everyone.
On the back of the black horse, a figure wrapped in a wide cloth robe lay softly on the horse's back. One hand was holding a jade gourd, and the other hand was holding a chicken leg that he got from nowhere. He took a small bite.
Wine and a mouthful of meat make you eat with relish.
"It's the alcoholic Lu Gang. Didn't he go to Shangzhou to ask for the Zhuguo Xianjiang from the ancient divine ape clan? How could he come back so soon?" A voice whispered.
"With that dragon and lin horse, he can't go anywhere in the world. It is the offspring of the legendary union of the black jade unicorn and the one-horned dragon. It has the innate magical power to soar into the clouds and ride on the mist. It can gallop 370,000 thousand in one day."
Wanli, it only takes a month and a half to rush back from Shangzhou!" Another person lowered his voice and explained.
Just as he was speaking, the thin, black horse seemed to hear his voice. It raised its eyelids slightly, and then returned to normal. It seemed that it had heard such discussions many times.
Get used to it.
Someone noticed this and quickly reminded: "Stop talking about it, have you forgotten what happened ten thousand years ago? It was because of this dragon-scaled horse that the Jiuxuan Alliance killed thirty-six inner sect elders, and
A powerful Immortal Lord who has survived nine heavenly tribulations was defeated, do you want to follow in their footsteps?"
Everyone's hearts sank and they quickly changed the topic: "The disciples of Wudao Peak came down the mountain again to participate in the apprenticeship ceremony. Could it be that there is a peerless genius among these contestants and was discovered by the master of Wudao Peak, so he sent the alcoholic Lu Gang to recruit disciples?
?”
"Impossible, there are twelve powerful clones of immortal kings guarding the Taixuan Ladder. If a peerless genius really appeared, he would have been discovered long ago!" Someone soon began to refute.
"Nothing is impossible. Don't forget the disciple recruitment ceremony a hundred thousand years ago. The bookworm Ye Junsheng was clearly eliminated in the first round, but was directly selected as the true disciple by Wu Dao Peak. At that time, we were all waiting to see
It’s a joke, what’s the result, we became the joke!” Someone raised an objection.
...
Just as the elders of the inner sect were discussing, an elder of the inner sect who had reached the realm of the Eight Tribulations Loose Immortal came out, stopped in front of the black and thin old horse, blocked the way, and said loudly:
"Lu Gang, your Enlightenment Peak no longer accepts disciples, why are you breaking the rules?"
The man lying on the back of the old black and thin horse raised his head, revealing a young face with unkempt appearance, unshaven beard, and drunken eyes. He looked confused, as if he had not yet woken up, and muttered with his tongue in his mouth: "Rules
,What rules, why have I never heard of them?”
"Hmph, don't pretend to be crazy or stupid for me, you know all the rules I told you!"
Seemingly irritated by the other party's attitude, the inner sect elder showed anger on his face and said sternly: "One hundred thousand years ago, in order to exchange the identity of a true disciple for the bookworm Ye Junsheng, senior Li Kurong once said personally that from now on.
From now on, Wu Dao Peak will no longer recruit disciples from the contestants of the Disciple Recruitment Ceremony. You were also involved in this matter. Do you want to regret it now?"
It turns out that this is the truth why Wu Dao Peak has not recruited a new disciple for a whole hundred thousand years. Jiang Wen suddenly realized.
At this time, many contestants who participated in the trial also saw that Wu Dao Peak was by no means as unbearable as the rumors said, and the fact was exactly the opposite. Wu Dao Peak was still very powerful and terrifying.
This point has been noticed since the appearance of drunkard Lu Gang. Just the appearance of a true disciple ranked seventh made the 359 inner sect elders feel like they were facing a formidable enemy.
He didn't dare to comment on any of the horses, because the rumors were obviously wrong.
"Oh, so you are talking about this!"
Lu Gang seemed to have just woken up. He raised the jade gourd in his hand and took a deep sip. He burped loudly and said with a strong smell of alcohol: "When we recruited the junior disciples, the old man did say
Such words, but now he regrets it and decides to
I will recruit another junior brother into the mountain. If any of you are not convinced, just go up to the mountain and beat him up. I have wanted to do this for a long time, but unfortunately I have not been able to do so. If any of you can help me fulfill this wish
, I will definitely invite him to drink, and he will not come back until he is drunk!"
"You...you..."
Hearing these words, the inner sect elder opposite suddenly turned green with anger, raised one finger to Lu Gang, trembled non-stop, and could not even speak a word.
"What are you doing? Why don't you get out of my way quickly? Don't delay me in welcoming my junior brother into the mountain!"
Lu Gang suddenly threw down the chicken leg in his hand, patted the black dragon scale horse under him, and said impatiently: "Don't think that I don't remember who you are. Last time you forced your way to the Enlightenment Peak, you didn't reach the top of the mountain.
Just because it disturbed Si
Senior brother was playing chess, but was hit by his black and white chess pieces and ran away. Believe it or not, I will tell him your identity now and let him set up a chess game at the gate of your main peak branch, trapping you for three days and three nights!
"
The truth of everything was being restored bit by bit, and some of the inner sect elders showed expressions of sudden realization, and their eyes towards the Eight Tribulations Loose Immortal elder were full of sympathy and pity.
The embarrassing incident many years ago was revealed by Lu Gang in public. The elder of the inner sect opposite him was so angry that there was actually a trace of fire coming out of his eyes. His face turned red from suppressing it. In the end, he gritted his teeth and endured it.
He said with a face: "Okay, you start selecting disciples now, I want to see what kind of genius you plan to select, hum!"
"Wouldn't it be over already? It's really troublesome!"
With a nonchalant expression on his face, Lu Gang muttered something, urged the black-handed old horse under him, came to the remaining contestants who were not selected, and shouted at the top of his voice: "Junior brother, you take the initiative to stand up, the master said
As long as you take the initiative to admit your identity and go up the mountain with me obediently, he can forget about it."
This sentence was said without a clue, and everyone was confused. They had never seen this method of recruiting disciples. But among the crowd, only one person did not laugh, because when the drunkard Lu Gang spoke, he knew
He felt a pair of eyes locked on him. It was not from Lu Yan, the drunkard, but from the old black horse under him.
Although Jiang Wen's candle dragon fairy fetus is hidden in the fairy palace, and there is a master-level illusion formation left by Qi Fangfei on the mountain, the special candle dragon bloodline aura on his body cannot be concealed from the possession of the one-horned celestial dragon.
