Although he didn't know the other person's name, in Ye Xiao's impression, he had already seen him.
Because this person was Jiang Du who shared the same table with Shengyang and Qu Wuyan when they were at Sima's house.
After the Tianjiao Banquet, Jiang Du stayed in Blackwater City. He neither visited a single sect family nor had any contact with anyone who came to compete for the Tianjiao List.
It wasn't until the competition for the top talent list kicked off today that he got together with Shengyang, Qu Wuyan and others again.
"Brother Ye, what are you looking at!"
On the side, noticing Ye Xiao's expression, Gu Dao couldn't help but speak curiously. At the same time, his eyes followed the direction of Ye Xiao's sight and saw Jiang Du's figure.
"That person seemed to have appeared at the Prodigy's Banquet! And I heard later that he was still speaking for Qu Wuyan before we arrived at the Prodigy's Banquet!"
"I don't know him!" Ye Xiao replied directly, "Although it feels like he is paying attention to me, I feel there is no malice in his eyes!"
"Oh? Could it be that he also wants to be your subordinate?"
Hearing this, Gu Dao said with a joking expression on his face, his eyes swept over Jiang Du again, showing a slightly playful expression.
"Be my subordinate?" After Gu Dao finished speaking, Ye Xiao chuckled and shook his head, "I can't see it. From his body, I can see a unique temperament. He is not that willing.
Someone who condescends to others!”
"According to your statement, this guy has great ambitions?"
Listening to Ye Xiao and Gu Dao chatting animatedly, Gongsun Changsheng also chimed in with great interest.
"Wow!"
However, as soon as he finished speaking, gusts of wind suddenly broke through the walled pavilion, and then he saw the heads of the five ancient tribes flying out of the pavilion and flying straight to the top of the pyramid.
"Is this about to start?"
"Has it finally begun?"
As the heads of the five ancient tribes ascended into the sky, someone on the wall suddenly said something. Then, in the entire martial arts arena, the noise dispersed, and everyone looked at the five people with bright eyes.
Of course, Ye Xiao is no exception!
Although this was his first time participating in the competition for the Tianjiao List, he still understood the rules and process of the competition very clearly.
The four stone pillars at the top of the pyramid may seem to many people as just ordinary decorations, just to make the pyramid look more majestic.
In fact, they are the base of a formation. Each stone pillar has thousands of formation patterns. These formation patterns are all engraved into the stone pillars, so they can exist for a long time.
.
And it is slightly different from the general formation base. Although these four stone pillars also need to rely on the power of spirit stones to operate, they need to be activated first, and what activates them is precisely the power of the five ancient clan chiefs.
.
As long as the formation is activated, a strange force will emit from the four stone pillars, intersect between the two connected stone pillars, and pour down along the four sides of the pyramid, attacking all those who want to climb to the top of the pyramid.
People form oppression.
At the same time, only those who have resisted suppression and successfully reached the top are eligible to be included in the Genius List, and then compete for the top spot on the Genius List at the top of the pyramid.
Moreover, as far as Ye Xiao knew, due to the limited space, except for the five major ancient clans, each major sect and family in the virtual world only had one place to participate.
This shows that the younger generation of the five ancient tribes, regardless of their level of cultivation, have the opportunity to participate in the competition for the Tianjiao List. Because there are so many people, it is irrelevant to eliminate some when climbing the pyramid.
critical.
However, it is different for the sects and aristocratic families in the Void Spirit World. Because there is only one quota for the competition, these sects and aristocratic families have to send the strongest among their respective younger generations.
Among them, the weaker sects are better off. Even if the disciples they send fail to climb to the top of the pyramid, they can still compete with the famous sects on the pyramid, which can be regarded as a blessing in the face.
But for the powerful and powerful sects and aristocratic families, it seems too unfair. As famous sects and big aristocratic families, among their respective younger generations, there are naturally many people with outstanding strength and amazing talents who can climb the pyramid.
There are also more than one person at the top, but even so, there is still only one quota. In this way, except for the most outstanding person among the younger generation of these sect families, everyone else is tantamount to being directly deprived.
Chance.
Based on this, many famous sect families suggested that their number of places to participate in the competition for the Tianjiao List could be increased, but in the end they were not allowed to do so.
After all, since the beginning of the competition for the Tianjiao List, it has been stipulated that, except for the five ancient clans, only one person from the other sects and aristocratic families, regardless of their strength, is allowed to participate, and no changes are allowed.
This was decided upon by the ancestors of the five ancient clans in the Void Spirit World. Even if the current leaders of the five ancient clans had their intentions, they would definitely not go against the decisions of their respective ancestors.
Therefore, there has always been a phenomenon that people on the list of geniuses are basically people from the five ancient races.
"Let's get started!"
The heads of the five ancient tribes flew into the air directly above the pyramid. Each of them stood at a corner, forming an equidistant five-sided shape. Then they looked at each other on their heads and formed seals on their hands. The next moment, five bright rays of light appeared.
It overflowed from the bodies of the five people and gathered in the center surrounded by the five people. It turned into a beam of light and landed straight in the center of the competition venue at the top of the pyramid.
"Boom!"
The moment the light beam touched the ground of the competition venue, the entire pyramid trembled slightly due to the power of the five people.
But this was just the beginning. As the brilliance of the five people's power spread along the ground of the competition venue, the surface of the stone pillars at the four corners of the competition venue also emitted streaks of blood-red light, swimming down the pyramid like snakes.
At the same time, the moment the dim light appeared, even though he was still sitting on the wall, Ye Xiao could feel the weirdness in these dim lights. This weirdness caused the spiritual energy in his spiritual palace to become uncontrollably chaotic for a moment.
These bloody lights can affect the form of spiritual energy in the cultivator's spiritual palace!
After stabilizing the spiritual energy in the Ling Mansion, Ye Xiao frowned slightly, showing a thoughtful look.
The bloody light on the surface of the pyramid is caused by the activation of the formation at the top. Although he can only arrange the third-level formation, he has some attainments in the cultivation of formations.
He even obtained the formation inheritance from the old man Baishan. There are countless formations in his mind ranging from level one to level nine. But even so, for formations that can affect the shape of auras in other people's spiritual mansions, he
It’s the first time I’ve seen it.
"Is it because I didn't get all the formation inheritance from Old Man Baishan? It shouldn't be!"
Feeling the strange power in the bloody light, Ye Xiao couldn't help but doubt himself.
"Why, do you think these bloody lights are a bit weird?"
Seeing Ye Xiao frowning, Gu Dao beside him couldn't help but smile and said.
"Why, is it possible that you still know the secret?"
Seeing this, Ye Xiao frowned even deeper and said in surprise.
He knew clearly that, in addition to its advanced cultivation and strong strength, this ancient sword knew nothing about formations. But looking at the smile on the opponent's face, it was obvious that he knew that the bloody light on the pyramid was strange.
"This is it!"
After hearing Ye Xiao's words, Gu Dao immediately pretended to have a deep look, and then said seriously: "Actually, these bloody lights are not produced by the formation at the top of the pyramid, but they originally exist in the stone pillars.
Hit! When the formation is activated, they will overflow from the stone pillars and envelope the entire pyramid!"
"Do they originally exist in the stone pillars?"
After hearing Gu Dao's words, Ye Xiao became even more confused. He was originally a formation master. If a formation stored some kind of power, then this power basically came from the formation master who set up the formation.
Because only the power of the formation master can perfectly match the formation and be stored for a long time. If it is the power of others, even if it can be stored temporarily, over time, it will not be affected by the formation.
constraints and gradually dissipated.
Therefore, if according to Gu Dao, these powers already exist in the stone pillars, and the stone pillars are the base of the formation at the top of the pyramid, then it is very likely that these powers originate from the formation master who laid out this formation.
.
There was just one more thing that Ye Xiao couldn't figure out. If these powers came from the formation master who arranged this formation, then why were they activated by the power of the chiefs of the five ancient clans.
"Gu Dao, don't tell me that the person who arranged this formation is someone related to the five ancient tribes!"
With full of doubts in his heart, Ye Xiao tentatively looked at Gu Dao. In his opinion, since Gu Dao knew the weirdness of these powers, he might also know something about the formation master who arranged this formation.
"How...how do you say this!"
Looking at Ye Xiao's confused eyes, Gu Dao hesitated for a while, and then spoke slowly after a moment.
"Actually, the person who arranged this formation can be said to be related to the five ancient clans, or it can be said that he has nothing to do with the five ancient clans. You also know that I, like you, come from the lower ancient world, so for these things, there is no
I just heard it from the mouths of the immortals among the gods in the virtual world!
It is said that tens of thousands of years ago, a formation master came to the virtual spirit world to search for someone, and asked people from the five ancient tribes to help search together. However, in the end, nothing was found. Although the person was not found, you should also know that,
What a great figure the Formation Master is. In order to repay the five ancient clans, he specially
The clan arranged a formation and used four blood-colored stone pillars that contained certain mysteries as the base of the formation. It was said that the disciples of the five ancient clans could understand the mysteries left in the stone pillars by activating this formation. If someone understood it, he
With the secret left behind, you can find him through the message in the stone pillar and become his disciple!"
