Ling Xuewei immediately realized that Xiao Yifeng's previous guess should be correct.
In Guixu City, the Red Feather Sect did not leave many of its own forces as guards, probably because this matter was done extremely secretly, and the fewer people who knew about it, the better, including the disciples of the Red Feather Sect's main sect.
But it is also very difficult to enter Guixu City, so the Red Feather Sect does not need to dispatch too many people to closely guard Guixu City, so that the disciples they use to guard the base camp of Guixu City are also
Just as pitiful.
The fact that no one is guarding makes it easier for Ling Xuewei and Xiao Yifeng to sneak in and investigate.
The passage is not straight, and leads in all directions to different directions. The saints are very skilled in leading everyone to walk in the passage. If this is the first time to walk this road, without a map, you will have to get lost in the countless branches of the passage.
.
Ling Xuewei looked at such a large underground project, and became more and more certain that this was definitely not the work of the Red Feather Sect in the past ten years. These passages exuded an ancient and decayed atmosphere. Ling Xuewei looked more like Guixu City had been built for some kind of purpose a long time ago.
The purpose was to build and excavate it bit by bit. The Red Feather Sect just made use of the existing underground cave.
Finally they reached the end of the passage, which led to a huge cave. The rock walls of the cave were rough and uneven, and the rock walls were black and covered with dust.
In the middle of the cave is a high altar, with four bonfires lit at the four corners of the altar.
The cave was also surrounded by torches, and the smoke produced by these fires slowly rose upwards, and then penetrated through the gaps at the top of the cave.
As soon as Ling Xuewei and Xiao Yifeng saw the altar, they knew they had arrived at their destination.
The cave was brightly lit by torches and bonfires, especially since there were so many torches all around, there wasn't even a place to hide.
Xiao Yifeng quickly glanced at the cave.
Fortunately, this cave is big enough, because there is an altar, which is more than ten feet high from the bottom to the top of the cave.
There is no way to hide below, so the only option is to go above.
Fortunately, the rock wall of the cave was not flat, and Xiao Yifeng soon discovered a small sunken platform above the rock wall, where he and Ling Xuewei could stand.
Without thinking, Xiao Yifeng quietly led Ling Xuewei to the platform of the rock wall.
From the entrance of the rockery to the altar, no one noticed that there were two more people in the team.
The white cloaks were very eye-catching in the cave. After Xiao Yifeng and Ling Xuewei got to the platform, they quickly took off their cloaks.
The saint only led the way and paid no attention to the movements in the team. It was not until they brought the fifteen destined people to the altar in the cave that they counted the number of people for the first time.
"You all performed very well tonight." The saint praised, "You are all selected by us and have the opportunity to embark on the path of cultivation. Tonight, you will be tested many times along the way.
All passed successfully.”
The fifteen destined people all had expressions that showed they had expected this. Thinking about their experiences today, they all felt that these hardships were not in vain.
Being recognized by the Saint, they felt that they would die without regrets.
"What's waiting for you now is the final test." The saint suddenly changed the subject and her voice became serious.
Everyone looked stern. When they heard that there was still a final test, they immediately cheered up. They had completed all the previous tests, and they could not let go of this final test no matter what.
The saint's expression became a little more serious, and the fifteen destined people also became serious.
"You must have seen the altar behind me." The saint continued, "The last level is to test your sincerity!"
When everyone heard this, the tension in their hearts immediately relaxed.
They thought the last level was so difficult, but no one expected it to be so easy.
It's just a test of their sincerity. Each of them dreams of becoming a cultivator. When it comes to sincerity, they are absolutely 100% sincere.
Everyone looked at the Saint with confidence, feeling that they could definitely pass this test of sincerity.
The saint was very satisfied with everyone's expressions.
Then the saint waved her hand, and a black cauldron appeared on the altar.
"The altar behind me is the place to test your sincerity, and in the middle of the altar is the divine cauldron of our holy religion. Only those who are recognized by the divine cauldron are eligible to join our religion."
Everyone looked up at the altar in front of them, and everyone felt that it was just a slightly higher platform.
And when they heard that the big black cauldron was the holy cauldron, everyone looked at it with awe.
Seeing the holy relics of the Holy Religion with their own eyes for the first time, some people were so excited that their whole bodies trembled.
Ling Xuewei and Xiao Yifeng were lying on the platform above the cave, looking at the holy cauldron that appeared in the center of the altar, their eyes were filled with shock.
Those who were destined thought they had seen a sacred object of the Holy Religion, but what Ling Xuewei and Xiao Yifeng saw was clearly an evil object full of evil aura.
The reason why it is completely black is because the evil energy it emits has reached the point where it is visible to the naked eye. The evil energy has covered the entire tripod, completely covering up its original color.
"What an evil magical weapon. This is the first time I have seen a magical weapon that can materialize evil spirits. The Red Feather Sect is indeed a cult at its core." Ling Xuewei whispered to Xiao Yifeng.
"What is this evil cauldron used for?"
Faced with a cauldron filled with evil energy, Xiao Yifeng did not dare to stare at the cauldron for too long, for fear that his concentration would not be enough and he would be affected by the evil energy.
"No matter what this cauldron is used for, it is a good thing anyway." Ling Xuewei said with a sneer.
"If you are someone who has not passed this test, then I am very sorry. You have lost this opportunity to be selected as a destined person by the holy religion. The altar is not a place where you can stay. Once the test is over, there will be disciples
Send those who fail the test away."
The saint below continued to lecture with a serious face.
The people who were destined to see each other were more excited than the other when they looked at the Holy Cauldron. When it came to sincerity, everyone felt that they were the most sincere ones.
They were able to pass many tests and come to the front of the divine tripod, and they were all confident that they could pass the test of the divine tripod.
"Excuse me, Holy Maiden, what does it take to pass the test of the divine tripod?" One of the destined people asked very sincerely.
"You don't need to be too nervous. It's very simple to get the recognition of God's Cauldron. You need to stand next to the God's Cauldron in the center of the altar, and then put one hand against the God's Cauldron. The God's Cauldron can automatically sense your recognition of my Holy Cauldron.
As long as you are loyal to the religion and determined to join the religion, as long as you can stand beside the divine cauldron for half an hour, you will be considered to have passed the test of the divine cauldron." The saint calmly finished the details of the last round of tests.
After everyone listened to the saint's introduction, they couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief.
They thought it would be difficult to get Shen Ding's recognition, but they didn't expect that it was just a matter of standing next to Shen Ding for a while.
This is really too simple.
"Saintess, we are ready." The fifteen destined people could not wait. "May I ask when we can start accepting the test of the divine tripod."
"Now that everyone is ready, please stand on the altar, form a circle around the divine cauldron, and then put your hands on the divine cauldron."
The saint reminded again "kindly".
"If you want to pass the test of the divine cauldron, you must have no distracting thoughts. People with half-hearted thoughts are not qualified to enter my holy religion."
"Thank you, Saint, for your guidance!"
After the fifteen destined people thanked the saint, they lined up neatly and walked up to the altar one by one.
"This altar..." Xiao Yifeng stared at the altar for a long time, his brows getting tighter and tighter.
"What's wrong?" Ling Xuewei looked at Xiao Yifeng, and her intuition told her that Xiao Yifeng must have made a new discovery.
"Have you seen the criss-crossing lines on the altar?" Xiao Yifeng said softly.
Ling Xuewei looked in the direction of Xiao Yifeng's finger and saw only the altar, which was covered with complicated decorative patterns.
This kind of dazzling stripes seems to be chaotic, but in a strange pattern, they all converge to the center of the altar, which is the position of the holy cauldron.
In fact, in Ling Xuewei's impression, things like totems like this are very common on altars. She doesn't think there is anything special. If there are such few patterns, Ling Xuewei feels that there is no altar.
smell.
"Those patterns are just a disguise. The purpose of turning the platform here into an altar is actually to hide the formation patterns of a formation." Xiao Yifeng said, "This is not an altar at all, but a formation.
"
"Array!" Ling Xuewei was startled and looked down more carefully.
Ling Xuewei only felt that those messy patterns were dazzling her eyes. If it weren't for someone like Xiao Yifeng who was extremely knowledgeable in battle techniques, it would have been impossible to see what was fishy about this altar.
"The formation pattern above is too messy, I can't see it very clearly, but judging from the direction of the formation pattern, it should be a formation similar to the trapped dragon formation." Xiao Yifeng said, "Once a person enters this formation,
Inside, I think they may never come out again."
"A bunch of idiots!" Ling Xuewei cursed in a low voice, "That altar will kill you as long as you stand on it, but they still dream of becoming a cultivator."
"This group of people is hopeless." Xiao Yifeng couldn't help but sigh as he looked at the fifteen destined people who had stood in the center of the altar under the guidance of the saint.
