Jiuyao Hall has a special hall where the natal wicks of some important figures in the sect are placed.
There are usually some disciples guarding and taking care of it nearby. Once someone's natal wick is found to be broken and extinguished, they will be informed immediately.
But for tens of thousands of years, it has been almost impossible for the wick of the natal wick to be broken and extinguished in Jiuyao Palace.
In the entire southern Xinjiang, no one dared to attack the people of Jiuyao Palace.
At this time, thousands of natal wicks can be seen in the main hall, and they are enshrined on the Taoist platform in rows.
In the entire Jiuyao Palace, only those who have reached the realm of the Demon Emperor are qualified to keep their natal wicks here. In addition, some descendants of important powerful men in the sect will also make exceptions and be stored here.
.
At a glance, it looks like a pyramid, arranged in rows according to status and strength.
The ones at the bottom are naturally the ones with the lowest cultivation and strength, and as the cultivation level increases, the natural wicks will naturally be arranged to the higher levels.
To a certain extent, a person's status in Jiuyao Palace can be judged from the position of his natal wick.
Two ordinary disciples responsible for cleaning the main hall were carefully sweeping away some dust.
Although the entire hall is protected by a powerful formation, they still come every day to take care and guard it carefully.
Of course, the role of these disciples is not as simple as it seems, or in Jiuyao Hall, any disciple with a certain status and outstanding talent cannot be sent here.
Only the ordinary disciples at the lowest level will be arranged to waste their time here.
"I don't know when I will be able to put my natal wick here!"
A disciple couldn't help but look up at the spectacular sight of thousands of people standing in rows and sighed with emotion.
Another disciple heard this and hit him directly, "Don't think about it. It's just your material. It's already here! It won't be too late to think about this after you have passed the Imperial Tribulation and become an official inner disciple."
It turned out that both of them were just servant disciples of Jiuyao Hall, and they were considered to be at the lowest level.
But even so, to the outside world, these two disciples are just geniuses that some small sects are competing for. However, in an imperial sect like Jiuyao Palace, they have to start from scratch as handyman disciples.
And the so-called handyman disciples, to put it bluntly, are servants who do handyman work!
Just like the two of them, they were arranged here and had to clean the entire hall for three years.
It's not short, it's short, it's long, it's not long.
"There is only one year left! When I successfully overcome the tribulation, I can become an official disciple!"
The other person shook his head. In fact, both of them were high-spirited and arrogant before entering Jiuyao Palace. Before entering, they both thought that they were great geniuses.
It's a pity that after getting started, I discovered that there were almost everyone with talents equal to theirs. In other words, if they wanted to enter Jiuyao Hall to learn from their masters, they had just met the minimum requirements!
"Okay, stop talking nonsense, finish the work quickly, and go back to practice early. The elder will punish us again when he sees a few of us being lazy, and we won't be able to practice for ten days!"
There are many handyman disciples here, and there are even some inner disciples who made mistakes and were punished to join the handyman disciples.
At this moment, there was a person with a dark face not far away, and the servant disciples did not dare to approach him.
Because that person was an official disciple, but he made a mistake and was punished here, so naturally he felt unhappy.
"Damn it, that guy hasn't worked a day since he came here!"
"Shh, you don't want to die! He is an official disciple. Even if he makes a mistake, he will only be punished here temporarily and will leave in a few days. If you offend him, you will not suffer the consequences!"
In any sect, the hierarchy is quite strict, not to mention that handyman disciples have little status.
Feeling the gaze of the two people, the man raised his head slightly, revealing a terrifying cold light.
The two handyman disciples suddenly shivered and were too frightened to continue discussing.
But after a while, there was no reaction from the man, so the two of them walked a little farther away and started talking boldly.
"I don't know what mistake that guy made, and he was punished to come to this place to suffer with us."
"I don't know. He must have offended someone. After all, it is rare for formal disciples to be punished here. And judging from the appearance of that guy, he must have been admitted not long ago."
"Not long after you started? Became an official disciple directly? It seems that this boy's talent is very powerful. I remember, what is his name like Jian Chen?"
"Yes, that's the name. I heard that an elder brought it back when he went out. But the boy is taciturn and no one knows his origin."
When the two of them were talking, a terrifying sword intent emerged from their bodies as they talked about that person.
There was a powerful aura, clearly indicating that he had reached the realm of an emperor. But soon, the sword intent was restrained by him.
"I don't know where Master and the others are now."
It turns out that this person is the elder brother Jian Chen who was separated from Li Ye and others after coming to the Upper Three Realms, but he does not know why he appears in Jiuyao Hall.
At this moment, a dark wind suddenly blew in the hall, and it came in a strange way.
The few handyman disciples were slightly stunned, because this is an important place where the wick of the natal lamp is kept. Not to mention the wind blowing, even a mosquito is unlikely to appear!
What shocked them even more was when they heard a click!
One of the natal wicks shattered instantly, and the flame representing the soul fire was extinguished!
This sudden change caught everyone by surprise.
However, before they could react, they heard the sound of something breaking.
Looking carefully, several more natal soul lamps cracked and went out!
Looking at the completely extinguished soul lamps, the servant disciples were stunned.
At least in the years they have been here, they have never encountered such a thing.
Jian Chen was also a little surprised, but a sneer flashed in his eyes. Compared to the handyman disciples, he was more like a spectator.
"Quick, quick... inform the elders quickly!"
"No! Something happened! Go and inform the elders!"
Soon, the handyman disciples all came to their senses!
What does it mean when the natal soul lamp is extinguished and broken?
Even a three-year-old child knows that it means that a certain disciple or strong man of Jiuyao Palace who left his soul here has died due to a conspiracy outside!
Moreover, several people died all at once?!
A closer look revealed that of the several extinguished soul lamps, one was placed at the position of the middle demon emperor, and four were placed in the area of the lowest lower demon emperor on the next floor.
