That person was none other than Liao Bencang, the master of Jiuyou Palace. He actually appeared on the Lei Pond.
The appearance of Liao Bencang made Long Chen's heart skip a beat. Wasn't Liao Bencang always in the Jiuyou Palace in Tianluo Mountain, the headquarters? How did he come here?
At the beginning, he learned from the soul memory of Jiuyou Rakshasa that Liao Bencang had always been in Jiuyou Hall in Tianluo Mountain, and that was the core of Jiuyou Hall.
The power of faith of the endless followers of Jiuyou Palace is also concentrated in Jiuyou Palace in Tianluo Mountain. This is where he collects the power of faith and practices. He will not leave here easily.
This guy actually came to Jiuyou Island, which immediately filled Long Chen's heart with uneasiness. Although he had killed Liao Bencang's clone, it was just a clone that came from across the sky. Most of the clone's power was consumed in resisting the way of heaven. The clone
The gap between his power and the power of this deity cannot be calculated using logic.
"For the record, Master of the Hall, these are the first batch of disciples of our generation who have passed the killing trial." An old man said to Liao Bencang respectfully.
Liao Bencang glanced at everyone. When his soul swept over Long Chen's body, he was slightly stunned and was about to speak.
"Buzz"
At this moment, the door next to the thunder pool opened, and thousands of disciples walked in. Their leader was a powerful realm king. He saluted Liao Bencang:
"Lord Hall Master, all the disciples who passed the examination have been caught. There are 30 million disciples, and a total of 8,972 people have passed the examination. Please take a look."
Of the 30 million disciples, only 8,972 survived. Long Chen gasped when he heard this. The assessment in Jiuyou Hall was too bloody.
Jiuyou Island is just a branch of His Highness Jiuyou. There are so many people in one branch, which shows how strong Jiuyou Palace is.
These 8,972 people have only obtained the qualifications for baptism in the thunder pool. After the baptism, they will enter the final trial. Of these 8,972 people, there is no telling how many of them will survive in the end.
It can be said that the selection process of Jiuyou Palace is extremely cruel, but Liao Bencang has many believers, and if it had been anyone else, he would have been ruined long ago if he had gone through so much trouble.
"Greetings to the Lord of the Palace!"
Following the man's words, these disciples all knelt down on the ground. The person in front of them was the god they believed in. These usually indifferent disciples were excited, and their eyes were full of awe and fanaticism.
In their hearts, Liao Bencang is supreme and omnipotent. It is their belief and the sustenance of their souls. They are not afraid of death because they know that after death, they will return to the embrace of God. That is
Their best destination.
Liao Bencang nodded, looked at these disciples, and said with a look of relief on his face:
"Yes, the essence, energy, and spirit of this generation of disciples are obviously the best, especially in the physical body. They have made great breakthroughs. It seems that Chen Ming has put a lot of effort into it.
There are two people in the pool with particularly strong Qi and blood. One of them already has the Supreme Aura, and is probably about to awaken the Supreme Bone. After the trial, you bring them two to see me. If they can enter my eyes, I will
Accept them as your disciples yourself.”
Liao Bencang pointed at the bodies of Guo Ran and Long Chen floating in the pool. It was obvious that as soon as he arrived, he discovered the difference between the two people.
Long Chen lay in the thunder pool, motionless, but secretly awe-inspiring in his heart. He had asked Lei Ling'er to completely integrate the auras of himself, Guo Ran and Xia Chen into the thunder pool, just to prevent others from seeing the clues.
Unexpectedly, Liao Bencang didn't hide it from Liao Bencang. Liao Bencang could tell at a glance that Guo Ran's aura was different. If it weren't for Lei Ling'er's cover, Guo Ran's identity would have been revealed at a glance.
When they heard that Liao Bencang was going to recruit a disciple in person, all the disciples present showed their envy and jealousy.
"It would be a great grace for these two people to be able to worship under the sect of the Palace Master. Don't worry, Palace Master, Chen Ming will take good care of you." The powerful King of the Realm named Chen Ming said hurriedly.
At this time, other disciples also walked down to the thunder pool one after another and began to receive baptism in the thunder pool. After seeing that everything was normal, Chen Ming said to Liao Bencang:
"Master Palace Master, why are you here in person?"
Obviously, he was also a little puzzled by Liao Bencang's arrival.
Liao Bencang said: "The Star-gazing Sky Mirror has experienced abnormal fluctuations, and a large amount of death energy has appeared in the Star-gazing Space. I came here specifically to have a look."
"The aura of death? How could it be? I just inspected it half a month ago. It was inspected by a disciple, and I asked the master of the palace to punish me." Chen Mingcheng said in fear.
This is a serious matter. He is in charge of Jiuyou Island and he doesn't know about such a big thing. This is not a small crime.
You must know that the Star Peeping Sky Mirror is the biggest secret of Jiuyou Island. If anything goes wrong, his life will be at risk.
"It has nothing to do with you. The Peeping Star Mirror just had a problem. I have already cleared away the death energy." Liao Bencang waved his hand to signal.
Seeing that Liao Bencang didn't blame him, Chen Ming felt relieved, but he said with a confused look:
"How come the aura of death appears in the Star Peeping Sky Mirror? Is it because there is something wrong with the puppet it seals?"
"I've checked the puppet, and there's nothing wrong with it. The death energy seems... to come from the Star Peeping Mirror itself." Liao Bencang said with a solemn expression.
"The Star Peeping Mirror itself... could it be that its lifespan has expired? This is impossible?" Chen Ming was shocked.
The Star Peeping Sky Mirror is an artifact made by Luo Tianye himself, used to peer into the descendants of the Nine Stars in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths. It is not a psychic artifact and does not have a spirit. Logically speaking, it should be an artifact with unlimited longevity.
Because only psychic artifacts have a lifespan, factors such as damage to the spirit of the artifact, failure of its own breakthrough, or changes in the way of heaven, etc. may lead to the death of the spirit of the artifact.
Before the weapon spirit dies, the artifact will produce a large amount of death energy, just like an old man will develop age spots when he gets older. This is a sign before destruction.
But if the Star Peeping Sky Mirror has no weapon spirit, how could it produce a large amount of death energy? Chen Ming could not figure this out no matter how hard he thought about it.
"I can't figure out the reason, but you don't have to worry. It's just that the death energy has just been generated, and there won't be many changes within thousands of years.
After this assessment is over, I will notify Master Luo Tianye's disciples to come and check it out. You should complete this assessment first," Liao Bencang said.
"yes"
Chen Ming responded.
"By the way, what's going on over there with that damn fat guy?" Liao Bencang asked. The fat guy in his mouth was his name for Empuda.
"I just got the news that Ji Wuming has awakened the Supreme Hand." Chen Ming said.
"Hmph, I knew that Ji Wuming's idiot brother would be tricked to death by the fat man sooner or later." Liao Bencang sneered.
"Another news came that Ji Wuming's disciple died at the hands of Long Chen." Chen Mingdao.
"What? Long Chen has already arrived at Ziyantian?"
