() Lingxiao Peak, located outside the twelve peaks of Lingyun Sect, is the core hub of Lingyun Sect.
Going forward, the head of the Lingyun Sect and the elders were discussing and deciding on the sect's affairs in the Lingxiao Hall at the top of the Lingxiao Peak. Today, the annual inner sect disciple selection competition is also held here.
The contestants participating in the inner sect disciple selection competition, in addition to you, the 120 disciples who have won the top ten in the Lingyun Sect's Twelve Peaks Outer Disciple Competition, there are also some disciples recommended by Lingyun Sect's affiliated families, as well as various Lingyun Sect disciples.
There are altogether two hundred true disciples of the Great Elder.
In addition, there were people from various major families who came to watch the ceremony, as well as official personnel sent by the Dayao Dynasty. A total of thousands of people gathered in the square.
"Senior Brother Meng, you have worked really hard for this year's competition!"
On the rostrum, Meng Guxuan and Hua Tianling sat next to each other. The players who saw Ming Jianfeng on the stage were all of the same innate cultivation level, and Jiang Wen's cultivation level had reached the middle stage of innate cultivation. Hua Tianling was really
It was a surprise.
"No matter how hard you work, it's still not as courageous as you, the head junior brother!"
Meng Guxuan smiled faintly and turned to the team of Tiandu Peak disciples. Standing at the head of the team was Hua Xingfan, the son of Hua Tianling. He is eighteen years old this year and has reached the late stage of Xiantian. Because he has been in Hua Tianling all year round
Ling's surroundings are full of influences, and he has his father's demeanor, just like a handsome young man.
Of course, what Meng Guxuan values is not these, but the extraordinary potential hidden in Hua Xingfan.
More than a month ago, the Foundation Establishment Pill that appeared at the Ziyuan Valley auction house, without any surprise, finally fell into the hands of Hua Tianling. For this, Hua Tianling used three masters of the Gangyuan Realm.
Together they surrounded and killed the casual cultivator named Qinghe Sanren. However, after obtaining the Foundation Establishment Pill, Hua Tianling did not take it immediately, but left it to his son.
It is precisely because of taking the Foundation Establishment Pill that Hua Xingfan's cultivation level was promoted from the middle stage of Xiantian to the late stage of Xiantian in just one month, and he firmly secured his position as the number one person in the outer sect.
"Senior Brother Meng, do you still remember the situation back then? You and I at that time were so similar to Xing Fan and Jiang Wen now!"
Hua Tianling first sighed, and then said with a smile: "Back then, you and I stood on the Heavenly Sword Platform and made a bet, but I lost in the end. Why don't we bet again today, on Xingfan and Jiang
Between the two of us, who can last longer on the Heavenly Sword Stage, and who can go further on the road of asking one's mind, what do you think?"
"I still said what I said before, higher cultivation does not mean stronger strength!" Meng Guxuan nodded slightly and agreed.
Boom! Boom! Boom!....
At this moment, the loud bell rang, and the inner disciple selection competition officially began.
Hua Tianling, who was the host of this selection, jumped up from the rostrum and floated alone in the void a hundred meters high. A loud voice sounded at the right time: "The 5436th Inner Sect of Lingyun Sect
The disciple selection competition has now officially begun. This selection competition is divided into three levels. Only those who pass all levels can officially become Lingyun Sect's inner disciples."
Click, click, click...
At the same time as Hua Tianling was speaking, bronze puppets exuding a bronze metallic luster walked out of the Lingxiao Palace with uniform steps.
There are a total of eighteen of these bronze puppets. They are a kind of special magic weapon. Their body shape is the same as that of ordinary people. Its body is made of a strange metal and is covered with dense runes and restrictions.
, the facial features, skin, and expression are all lifelike, especially the pair of eyes made of purple crystals, which exude a faint cold light that makes people dare not look directly.
These bronze puppets are combat puppets. Although they are not intelligent, they can cooperate with formation restrictions, sense the characteristics of nearby life, and make independent judgments to make various attack moves, which is extremely exquisite.
Not only that, each of these eighteen bronze puppets has a powerful strength that is not inferior to the monks in the late stage of the Ningzhen Realm. If combined with the powerful formation restrictions, they can be combined into a Lingxiao Sword Formation, known as the Gangyuan Realm.
Below, no one can break it.
Over the years, Lingyun Sect has used this set of Lingxiao Sword Formation as the first level of the inner sect disciple selection competition. Among them, warriors in the transformation realm only need to persist in the sword formation for more than ten breaths.
Can pass the assessment; monks in the early stage of Xiantian realm need to persist for twenty breaths; monks in the middle stage of Xiantian realm need to persist for at least fifty breaths; and monks in the late stage of Xiantian realm must persist for more than one hundred breaths.
Time. By analogy, the higher your cultivation level, the longer you need to persist. If you lose before the time is up, you will be eliminated immediately.
When the eighteen bronze puppets came to the center of the square and stood in their respective directions, Hua Tianling waved his hand and a talisman was shot out, which turned into more than ten points of spiritual light and was directly thrown into the bodies of the bronze puppets.
In an instant, the ground beneath the feet of the eighteen bronze puppets rose into the sky, forming a stone platform more than ten feet high. This was the 'Heavenly Sword Platform'.
Immediately, arrays of formation restrictions emerged from the Heavenly Sword Platform and poured into the bodies of the eighteen bronze puppets. At the same time, in the eyes of the eighteen bronze puppets, purple energy light flashed endlessly, and their whole bodies
A network of rune restrictions immediately appeared above and below. These restrictions were connected to each other in the air, connecting the eighteen bronze puppet figures and the Heavenly Sword Platform as a whole, forming a complete formation.
Clang!
Eighteen bright long swords appeared in the hands of the bronze puppet at the same time.
Some people with a keen eye immediately saw that these eighteen long swords were all low-level magic weapon-level treasures, which further enhanced the power of the sword array.
"Contestant No. 1, enter now!" Following Hua Tianling's order, a slightly thin figure walked out of the crowd.
Long before the bronze puppet appeared, two hundred contestants had completed the drawing of lots. This number one contestant was a disciple from Tuo Yun Peak, which ranked seventh among the twelve peaks of Lingyun Sect, and his cultivation level was only half a step to the innate realm.
As the first contestant to appear, he behaved quite calmly. After hearing Hua Tianling's order, he leaped directly to the Heavenly Sword Platform.
Sensing someone approaching, the eighteen bronze puppets immediately started to move. Their heavy bodies made a creaking sound, and they suddenly took several steps forward at the same time. The eighteen dazzling magic weapons and long swords were carried by people who made people feel hairy.
A sudden whistling sound broke through the air, and at the same time, it stabbed straight towards the body of contestant No. 1.
Although the power of these eighteen bronze puppets is now limited to the ninth level of the Mortal Realm, which is the same as the contestants, they rely on the help of the restriction to form the Lingxiao Sword Formation, and their power cannot be used by normal methods.
to estimate.
First breath time!
Contestant No. 1 squatted down slightly and took three steps to the right and back. The first six sword thrusts from the left were directly avoided by him.
Second breath time!
Then he was seen leaning forward, turning over in the air, narrowly dodging seven sword rays stabbed at his back, but at the same time, four more sword rays came towards him, and he dodged in the air.
Unable to avoid it, he immediately pulled out the long knife hanging from his waist and danced a gorgeous curtain of swords in front of him.
With a clanging clang and four consecutive collisions, the sword light of the bronze puppet was swung aside.
But just when his feet had just landed on the ground and his body had not yet stood firm, a cold sword light suddenly broke through the space and appeared on the right rear of his body.
This sword was silent and contained no energy fluctuations. It was only when the tip of the sword was only half a foot away from the back of the heart that Contestant No. 1 noticed the danger. But at this time, it was too late to turn around. The sharp sword
The sword blade pierced his clothes directly, leaving a shallow sword mark on his back shoulder.
At this moment, an invisible big hand dropped from the sky, directly grabbed the shoulder of Contestant No. 1, and lifted him out of the sword formation. Then, a cold voice rang in his ears.
:
"Contestant No. 1, persisted for two and a half breaths, failed the assessment!"
