This question of heart is indeed, as the captain said, another form of oath taken by the sword holder.
In front of the Great Emperor, answer the questions asked by the Emperor's statue in your mind. On the one hand, this process is to verify the race, and on the other hand, it is to test the core.
It is not important because even if you fail to pass the test, it will not affect your ability to become a sword holder.
It is important because for all future promotions and selections, especially matters involving the core of the human race, the light emanating from the emperor's heart is an implicit condition.
This process is not impossible to fake, but first you must have the ability to deceive the statue of the great emperor.
Although the statue of the Great Emperor is not the real Great Emperor who has fallen, the body of the statue located in the Imperial Capital is a ray of the Great Emperor's soul. After being worshiped by the human race for countless years together with several other statues of the Great Emperor, it has already possessed shocking powers.
ability.
That's why he can appear holy within the human race and become the watcher holding the sword.
At this moment, after Xu Qing and the five people stepped forward a hundred feet, as the pressure of the Great Emperor's statue descended, the questioning began.
The first person to be questioned was not Xu Qing, but Qingqiu.
You can see a colorful light radiating from the forehead of the statue and covering Qingqiu's body.
This process attracted the attention of everyone below, and at the same time, all the sword holders in the sky also stared to witness it.
Qingqiu's body trembled, and the evil ghost on the sickle was trembling. It closed its eyes tightly, not daring to open them or make any rash moves.
It felt a vast spiritual will fall on itself, and after sweeping it away, it focused on Qingqiu.
This spiritual thought is too majestic and cannot be felt by outsiders, but it can be clearly perceived.
At this moment, Qingqiu, a vast starry sky appeared in front of her eyes. The first thing she saw in the starry sky was a bright sea of light above.
The sea of light attracted all her attention, preventing her from looking down at the starry sky for the first time.
Instead, she raised her head and looked up at the light. Vaguely, she saw that there seemed to be a sacred figure in the light.
In front of this figure, she felt extremely insignificant. Everything in front of her made her eyes a little confused, but soon her firm belief made her eyes clear.
It was at this moment that a gentle voice came slowly to her ears.
"Little girl, don't be nervous, tell me, what do you think gods are?"
Qingqiu was stunned. The gentleness of the voice was beyond her expectation.
She originally thought that according to the majesty of the Great Emperor's statue, the kind of high and mighty inquiry would echo in her heart, but she didn't expect that it would actually make people feel so close.
Qingqiu hesitated for a moment, and his mind slowly became clearer at this moment, and some pictures faintly appeared.
Looking at those pictures, her eyes showed confusion, and she vaguely felt that there was an answer rising in her heart, and she wanted to speak out.
It wasn't that she couldn't stop it, but the gentle voice made her feel that it wouldn't matter even if she said it, so she spoke softly.
"I don't know what a god is, but it doesn't matter. If I have the chance, I will die with them!"
As soon as these words came out, she seemed to hear a kind laughter.
"Courage is commendable."
As the laughter reverberated, the starry sky in front of her disappeared. When she felt that she was back in reality, she stood in front of the statue of the Great Emperor and saw that the statue in front of her was emitting a dazzling light at this moment.
This brilliant light instantly reached a height of more than 500 feet, but it did not stop. Instead, it rose all the way up to a thousand feet, and finally stopped when it reached more than 1,100 feet.
More than 1,100 feet of brilliant light is reflected in the sky, and everyone here can clearly see it.
The sword-holders in the sky all looked sideways. Even the middle-aged man who read out all this showed admiration. Even the nine sword-holding elders were staring at Qingqiu at this moment.
As the first person whose heart was questioned, Qingqiu reached the height of 1,000 feet directly. Although it did not break the record of Yinghuangzhou, the height of 1,000 feet was rare, which proved that she was very upright in asking questions!
"This girl is good!"
"She is a very good seedling. We can use our resources in Yinghuangzhou to focus on cultivating her. With such a high level, there is a high probability that she will be taken seriously by Yushang County in the future."
Xu Qing also looked at the red girl a few more times. As for the captain on the side, he was startled at first, but then he thought of the answers and preparations he had recited and calmed down again.
Then, the second person whose mind was being questioned appeared, and the colorful light emanating from the eyebrows of the Great Emperor statue moved away from Qingqiu and enveloped Ning Yan, a young man from the Xiaozong.
Obviously, there are no rules for the sorting of the hearts, it all depends on the wishes of the statue of the emperor.
Soon the same starry sky appeared in front of Ning Yan. Although he was nervous, he was more expectant. At this moment, he instinctively looked up with a look of enthusiasm on his face.
"Little one, tell me, what is a god?"
The gentle voice echoed in Ning Yan's ears.
Unlike Qingqiu's silence, Ning Yan didn't have any thoughts at all. With the enthusiasm in his eyes and the piety in his expression, he spoke loudly.
"The gods are the great enemy of our human race. They are hated by all races and make all living beings miserable. They are the source of resentment for all living beings..."
He didn't say much, but most of what he said were the opinions he had received from the sect since he was a child. He couldn't say it was bad, but he couldn't say it was very good either. He was very mediocre and had no ideas of his own.
So, after he finished speaking, when he returned to reality, he saw the sixty-foot-long ray of light emanating from the statue of the Great Emperor.
There is no comparison between this light and Qingqiu.
Ning Yan was stunned. He didn't know what was wrong with his answer.
He felt that what he said was correct, but the difference in light was huge. This made him puzzled and couldn't help but look at Qingqiu. He wanted to know the other party's answer.
The expressions of the sword holders in the sky are mostly as usual. In fact, the sixty-foot-long light is the norm, which means they are qualified.
But the captain was laughing in his heart, secretly thinking that he was only sixty feet tall, and this time he must be thousands of feet tall. With this thought, he looked longingly at the statue of the Great Emperor.
The next moment, colorful light fell on the captain.
The captain's body shook, his eyes showed excitement, and he looked proud. However, his process was extremely short. In just two breaths, the colorful light on his body dissipated.
The statue of the Great Emperor standing in front was motionless at the moment, without any radiance emitting.
The captain was stunned.
Xu Qing blinked and looked at the captain in surprise.
Qingqiu also looked suspicious, and Ning Yan on the side was also stunned for a moment.
Not only them, but all the sword holders in the sky also had strange looks in their eyes at this moment. The eyes of the nine sword-wielding elders were even sharper in an instant.
"If there is no light, it means it is not a human race." The sword-wielding elder in the middle looked down and spoke calmly.
As soon as his words came out, murderous intent suddenly erupted all around, but it did not come.
Because this situation has happened before, and every time there is no light at all, it means that the other party is not a human race, but what is strange to them is that in the past situation, the person whose mind was questioned would be directly erased.
But now, Chen Erniu is still standing there peacefully.
This is also the reason why murderous intent broke out but did not come.
"No, I'm from the human race. I answered very well, and the Emperor also liked me very much. He even called me a kid affectionately at first." The captain was a little nervous and looked at the statue of the Emperor.
Xu Qing also became nervous.
Finally, when the atmosphere here became more solemn, the statue of the Great Emperor slowly emitted a foot of light.
One foot...
The captain was stunned for a moment.
Xu Qing was also filled with disbelief. He vaguely felt that the statue of the Great Emperor seemed to be given with some reluctance, as if it was given symbolically to prove that it was a human race.
The murderous intent in the sky dissipated, but all the sword holders looked strange at this moment. The same was true for the nine sword-wielding elders. They had never seen one who was one foot tall.
"What did this kid answer?"
"It's so embarrassing that this matter has spread. I welcome the sword holder of Huangzhou, and there is a man with an unreasonable conscience."
"Why don't you find a reason to disqualify him..."
The captain was a little confused. He looked at the ten-foot-long ray of light. He felt extremely aggrieved and at the same time somewhat relieved. The killing intent from the sky just now almost made him feel like he was about to be killed.
But soon he felt it was unfair. When he was full of grief and anger, the colorful light fell on Taisi Daozi Zhang Siyun. It lasted for dozens of breaths. At the end, the statue of the emperor spread out to a height of 500 feet.
This height is enough, but compared to Qingqiu, it is far behind.
But no one noticed that when Zhang Siyun asked, the sword-wielding elder in the sky seemed to have received the spiritual thoughts from the emperor. His eyes suddenly narrowed, with a cold light inside them, and he looked at Zhang Si with deep meaning.
He took a quick glance, then remained calm, suppressing the cold light in his eyes.
Zhang Siyun on the stairs did not notice this. He looked at Xu Qing coldly.
At this moment, among the five people, only Xu Qing was left who was not questioned.
Xu Qing took a deep breath, looked calm, and looked away at the captain. When he looked up at the statue of the Great Emperor, the colorful light came and enveloped his body.
A starry sky appeared in front of Xu Qing's eyes.
He stood in the starry sky and felt the bright sea of light above him, but he did not raise his head immediately, but looked down at his feet.
This is his habit. He likes to observe where he is first.
At a glance, his eyes suddenly shrank.
He saw a vast continent.
This continent was so big that it seemed to occupy half of the starry sky, and on the continent, he saw the remains of the gods.
His hair was scattered and hanging down, spreading over half of the continent. At the same time, behind the remnant face, there was a golden spine.
This spine is very long. It surrounds the outside of the continent and envelopes it in circles. At the same time, it seems to be slowly shrinking...
No arms, no body, no legs, just this golden spine composed of countless bones.
Every bone within it is as big as a region, exuding unparalleled divine power.
With half of the head attached, it turned into the remains of the supreme god at the level of life.
Xu Qing just took one look and his whole body was about to collapse. His mind was violently shaken, causing huge waves.
But he could feel that he was in a protected state, and what he saw was most likely an illusion. Otherwise, if he looked at it, he would be unable to bear it in an instant, and both body and soul would be destroyed.
At the same time, a gentle voice echoed in his ears.
"You are the only one among the people in front of you who came here and didn't look up at me, but looked down at the place where you stand."
"I think you want to see this part of the world, so I let you see this scene, but they have never seen it."
