Volume 1: A Sword Comes West, Ascension to Xiantai
As Chen Wanrong talked about it, everyone also understood the changes and rules made in this Immortal Ascension Conference.
According to Chen Wanrong, the Shengxian Conference will draw lots into groups of five, and there will be a total of three rounds of competition. The final twenty winning groups will directly become the top 100 in Yunzhou. There is no need to spend money.
In the first round, a goal will be set, and each group needs to complete it within the specified time. If the time limit is exceeded, they will be eliminated directly, which is similar to Li Xiuping's previous collaborative tasks in Xuanmu Mountain.
The second round of testing is about the understanding of spiritual practice. According to Chen Wanrong, the person in charge will write out a practice method, but will deliberately omit some details. Candidates need to find these missing parts and compile them.
If the supplement cannot meet the requirements, it will be eliminated directly.
The third round is a talent test, which is a competition of strength, until only the last 100 people are left. This round is somewhat similar to a competition, but it is still a group of five people. If you lose three games, you will be eliminated.
As the Huayang Sect members walked into the main hall, everyone in the main hall immediately cast their gazes with different expressions. Some people would stand up and salute, some would have a look of disdain, and those below them would choose to ignore...
"Huayang Sect is really proud of you. So many people have been waiting for you all morning. If you don't come, I'm afraid this Immortal Ascension Conference still won't be held."
A woman's tone was cold, and she obviously didn't have much dealing with the Huayang Sect.
Fang Tianhe smiled and replied: "It is said among the people that women have bad tempers when they reach a certain age. I didn't expect that even Master Zhuo can't escape. This is really a pain for all the colleagues in Qingxia Peak."
"You..." The female cultivator surnamed Zhuo stood up immediately. However, due to the presence of so many senior and powerful people, it was difficult for her to actually have an attack.
An old man wearing a green robe said: "Since we are all here, let's start early."
Even the old Heavenly Master of Jiuyuan Mountain spoke, so naturally the others couldn't say anything else. They looked at the ancestor of the Chen family who was sitting on the main seat, and the ancestor of the Chen family stood up and walked outside.
As the ancestor of the Chen family walked out of the main hall, he said loudly: "The Yunzhou Immortal Ascension Conference has now officially begun. Please ask the persons in charge of each immortal sect to step forward in order to open the ascension platform."
After the words fell, the head of Jiuyuan Mountain and the head of Xuanqing Sect looked at each other, then walked forward, then walked to both sides, and after standing still, they began to form seals with their hands.
As the two people's seals changed, a huge rune began to appear in the sky above everyone, tilting upside down under the sky and slowly rotating.
The heads of each sect also walked out one after another at this time, and the seals on their hands also changed, and the true energy of different colors continued to appear, blending into the huge runes in the sky.
As these infuriating energies merged, the runes became larger and more obvious, and then beams of light continued to fall from the runes, spreading throughout Yunzhou City.
With the support of these light pillars, the runes under the sky began to stop rotating, and then slowly dissipated. Those light pillars also disappeared one after another. There was only a huge silver-white light pillar standing in the middle of the Chen Family Square, running through the sky and the earth. Looking from a distance,
Like a pillar in the sky.
The strong men of each sect also began to remove their own energy and return to their original places.
The ancestor of the Chen family stepped forward at this time and said: "The platform for ascending to immortality has been opened. Disciples from all sects are invited to enter in order and accept the assessment."
After saying that, you should first walk into the pillar of light, and then your whole person will turn into a stream of light and disappear.
Jiuyuan Mountain and Xuanqing Sect also walked into the light pillar, and then turned into streams of light. Soon Fang Tianhe also led the Huayang Sect towards the light pillar.
Li Xiuping and Xu Bansheng walked behind Fang Tianhe, probably because they were afraid that Li Xiuping would be worried. Xu Bansheng explained to Li Xiuping: "I heard that the Immortal Ascension Platform was a secret realm jointly opened by all the sects in Yunzhou. It was originally hosted by the five major sects.
But now only Jiuyuan Mountain and Xuanqing Gate can be opened. In the entire Yunzhou, being able to climb the Ascension Platform is the greatest honor for a monk!"
Li Xiuping looked at the light pillar in front of him and said, "I heard before that there is a teleportation array in the spiritual world, which can teleport a living person to another place. This light pillar should be something similar, right?"
Xu Bansheng nodded and said: "This is the only way to the secret realm of Shengxian Terrace. It is said that each of the five major sects used to have one, and our Huayang Sect also has one. However, with the decline of the five major sects, it is difficult for each other to support each other alone.
, so only one was left, which was maintained by all the sects in Yunzhou. Those who contributed money contributed, and those who contributed efforts contributed. Because the Chen family paid the most, the Chen family was naturally retained. The Immortal Ascension Conference was also hosted by the Chen family.
make arrangements for."
Li Xiuping nodded and finally understood why the Immortal Ascension Conference was not in Jiuyuan Mountain or Xuanqingmen, but in the Chen family in Yunzhou. Because to maintain such a grand formation, countless money is needed, and only the Chen family has such a family.
Only one can afford such consumption. This is one of the reasons why the Chen family has a strong influence in Yunzhou even though there is only one Jindan ancestor.
The power of money, no matter where it is placed, cannot be underestimated.
As he spoke, everyone had already walked into the pillar of light. Li Xiuping felt that his whole body suddenly felt extremely light. Before he could make any reaction, the entire Yunzhou City scene disappeared in an instant, and a sense of dizziness appeared instantly, causing him to close his eyes involuntarily.
.
When he opened his eyes again, Li Xiuping found that he was already in a huge square. He was not used to the down-to-earth feeling, and his whole head felt a little groggy.
All around, pillars of light continued to appear out of thin air, and each pillar of light would almost send a person to the square. It looked like immortals descending into the mortal world.
As time went on, the number of light pillars began to decrease, and the number of people who were teleported naturally also decreased. When no light pillars appeared again, there was a roar in the middle of the square, and a huge stone platform slowly rose.
Under the gaze of everyone, the ancestor of the Chen family slowly walked up to the high platform with his hands behind his back. After standing still, he glanced around and said loudly: "This is my Yunzhou Shengxian Platform. I, the Chen family, have already arranged all the major sects."
Our Chen family will also provide the door's accommodation and normal meals for free. During the Immortal Ascension Conference, if you have any requests, you can make them, but if they exceed the standards, you will have to pay for them yourself."
The ancestor of the Chen family changed the subject and went straight to the point: "In order to reflect the fairness of the Immortal Ascension Conference, the drawing of lots will be handled by the head of Jiuyuan Mountain Lu and the head of Xuanqing Sect Yu. After that, according to the order of the drawing, your team will be decided in turn."
After saying that, he looked at the head of Xuan Qing Sect, the head of Jiuyuan Mountain, and then stepped down from the high platform, giving up his position to the two strongest men in Yunzhou.
The two heads walked out of the crowd, walked side by side to the high platform, bowed to each other, walked to both sides, and then said loudly: "Now go up to the stage to draw your lottery number, and then go to the two elders to register."
After saying that, the two looked at each other again, then raised their hands, and countless light balls appeared out of thin air and floated on the high platform.
As these light balls appeared, disciples stepped up to the high platform one after another, then selected the light balls that they liked, walked down the high platform with the light balls, and went to the elders to register.
Li Xiuping was a little groggy until now. At this moment, he was pulled directly towards the high platform by Han Yunze. Then he selected a light ball respectively. After passing through the high platform, he walked down the high platform from the other side and went to the elders to register.
At the registration office, the elder in charge of registration asked Li Xiuping to crush the ball of light in his hand, and then a number appeared in Li Xiuping's hand: ninety-nine-seven.
The elder in charge of registration looked at Li Xiuping and asked: "Name, sect, age."
Li Xiuping reported his name, sect, and age one by one.
The elder in charge of the registration wrote it down one by one, and then waved his hand, and the note with Li Xiuping's information floated backwards, was caught in the hand of another elder, and then handed over to the Chen family in charge of the conference.
Next step of registration.
Li Xiuping walked back to his original position, and Han Yunze caught up with him and asked in a low voice: "What's the number of Junior Brother Li?"
Li Xiuping said: "Nine-nine-seven."
Han Yunze frowned and said, "It's so different."
Li Xiuping asked casually: "How much is Senior Brother Han?"
Han Yunze said bitterly: "Seventy-nine."
Li Xiuping looked at the crowds of people around him and said, "I thought there would be a lot of people, but I didn't expect there to be so many people."
Han Yunze also looked around and said with a smile: "There are not even one thousand but eight hundred sects in Yunzhou that are eligible to participate. Our Huayang Sect can get fifty places, and those big sects will only have more places."
.As for those small sects, although they are small in number, they are large in number. Even the 551 team may have thousands of teams."
Li Xiuping nodded, walked back to the Huayang Sect, and watched those people continue to draw lots.
It has to be said that the Chen family's work efficiency is indeed very fast. In just a short moment, some teams have been sorted out, posted, and assigned specific positions.
Because there were too many people, the drawing process would definitely not end quickly. Some disciples who had already completed the drawing process left the venue one after another after watching it for a while, heading to the residence arranged by the Chen family.
As everyone in the Huayang Sect completed the drawing of lots and determined the location of his team, Fang Tianhe also led these people to rest and make arrangements for tomorrow.
The fifty people of the Huayang Sect were directly divided into fifty teams, and there was not even a single disciple in the same team. Regarding this, the elders of the Huayang Sect did not say anything. After all, tens of thousands of people were allocated together, and they could be the same disciples.
The chance of belonging to the same team is too low; and the more dispersed the disciples are, the greater the probability of winning.
I have to say that this change has indeed added a lot of uncertainty to the Immortal Ascension Conference. No one is sure who will win in the end, because this form of a team of five people has never happened before, and some
Disciples who originally had hopes of winning may very well end up being eliminated because of their team.
For the Huayang Sect, this is certainly not good news. After all, with Li Xiuping's character and strength, the Huayang Sect has a lot of hope of winning this time. But now that the rules have been changed, the final result of the Immortal Ascension Conference will also change.
It has to be confusing.
Originally, the Huayang Sect still had a glimmer of hope. After all, Li Xiuping's abilities were there. As long as there were two or three disciples of comparable strength among the people on his team, the probability of eventual victory was still very high. It was a pity that
They had never even heard of the other four people in Li Xiuping's team. On the contrary, Xu Bansheng's team was pretty good, and one of them was He Junlin.
But this is not unacceptable. After all, this method of drawing lots to form a team has a lot to do with luck. This is true for any sect, and it is not aimed at their Huayang sect.
The Chen family has not announced tomorrow's goals and rules yet, so Fang Tianhe and others have no idea what the specific arrangements will be. Apart from a few words of encouragement to their disciples, they don't know what to say.
Not long after, He Junlin came to the Huayang Sect's residence, saying that he was here to discuss some matters with Xu Bansheng regarding tomorrow's conference.
Xu Bansheng was full of interest at first, but soon Xu Bansheng discovered that the purpose of this Fairy He was not with him, but with his Junior Brother Li. Xu Bansheng was also happy to have some leisure time and just feel it.
The mystery of this Immortal Stage is that after all, not everyone can set foot on this Immortal Stage that only opens once in a hundred years.
He Junlin and Li Xiuping were not familiar with each other, so the two sat for a while without saying a few words before He Junlin left Li Xiuping's residence. This undoubtedly made Li Xiuping breathe a sigh of relief and ran straight to find him.
Xu Bansheng asked Xu Bansheng to recite the classics he had memorized in the past two days.
There was no talking all night until dawn.
After a night of sorting out, all the teams have now been sorted out. Each team will have its own position. After that, the Chen family will issue a unique logo representing each team, which means that all preparations have been completed.
The ancestor of the Chen family walked up to the high platform in the middle again, then waved his hand, and a scroll floated out directly, hovering in front of thousands of teams.
"This is a map of the sub-power secret realm. The goals you need to complete are marked on it. The time limit is five days. If you fail to complete the goals within five days, you will be eliminated directly."
The ancestor of the Chen family spoke loudly and finally added: "Except for the time limit, there are no other rules."
The whole square was in an uproar instantly, and countless people began to whisper and discuss.
After the ancestor of the Chen family finished speaking, he directly took out a jade tablet and formed a seal with his hands.
The jade tablet first exuded a gleaming brilliance, and then a dragon-shaped stone pillar suddenly appeared on the high platform. Between the eyebrows of the dragon's head, there happened to be a gap that was similar to the jade tablet.
The ancestor of the Chen family raised his hand and pressed the button, and the jade tablet fell directly on the dragon head and was embedded in the gap.
As the jade tablet blended in, the entire ground shook, and then a dragon's roar resounded throughout the world. A bead the size of a head was spit out from the dragon's mouth and floated on the high platform.
As the bead appeared, the body of the Chen family ancestor left the high platform and fell to the ground.
The next moment, the bead burst into light, covering the entire high platform. A bright avenue appeared on the high platform, leading to nowhere.
As this avenue appeared, disciples stepped onto the high platform one after another, walked towards the glorious avenue, and then disappeared at the end of the avenue...
