Chapter Ten A Dark Horse
Seven years have passed in an instant, and the outer door test once every ten years is about to begin.
A lot of things have happened in Wanxuan Sect recently, and the most sensational one is the "Shan Hai Order" issued by the master himself.
The Secret Realm of Mountains and Seas is about to open. As a legendary place of inheritance, the Secret Realm of Mountains and Seas opens once every few thousand years. The specific time is uncertain. We only know that the key to the secret realm will be released before it is opened. Anyone who obtains the key to the secret realm can enter it, but the cultivation level
Only those with Nascent Soul and below are allowed to enter. This time, the secret realm of mountains and seas will be opened a hundred years later.
The Mountain and Sea Token is the only key to enter the secret realm of mountains and seas. There are thousands of them in total. A fixed number of 300 keys will appear on the top of Lingshan Mountain in the world of cultivation every time. Lingshan is controlled by the Sixth Sect in the world of cultivation today, the Sidao Sect. The Natural Mountain and Sea Token
It is also distributed by them. The remaining seven hundred mountain and sea orders will appear in the world of cultivation immediately, and those who are destined can get them.
There are a total of three hundred Mountain and Sea Orders, fifty of which are reserved by the Sidao Sect and the rest are distributed according to the strength of the sect.
As the largest sect in Xichuan Realm, Wanxuanmen was allocated twenty pieces, which was already a large amount.
In order to decide who will receive the Order of Mountains and Seas, Wanxuanmen will hold a "Shanhai Order Competition" eighty-five years later. Regardless of cultivation level or identity, all Wanxuanmen disciples who win the top twenty will receive one.
Order of Mountains and Seas, and thus enter the land of inheritance to look for opportunities.
Ancient inheritance is an irresistible temptation for most people. If you can get one of them, you may be able to soar to the sky. Furthermore, even if you cannot find the inheritance, the secret realms of mountains and seas are full of treasures. It is said that the birds and beasts inside
They may all be descendants of ancient mythical beasts, a treasure land worth every inch of land!
Zhang Zheng is also very excited, not to mention coveting the treasures inside, which is human nature. However, according to ancient records, monks in ancient times were very spiritual, and there were even guardians recognized by heaven and earth. If you can enter this
In the ancient secret realm, even if you just get a glimpse of the prosperity of Taoism in ancient times, it is a great honor.
But she was only excited for a while, and then she stopped. Regardless of her cultivation level, under the Nascent Soul, the battle for the Mountain and Sea Order will definitely be a fight between gods and gods. She has only been able to practice Qi for four years after seven years of hard training.
With her level of cultivation, there was no way she could compare herself to anyone else. She would be knocked upside down with just a snap of their fingers.
In the past seven years, in addition to regular chores, she has also taken on many outings. She narrowly escaped death several times, and almost died. Just to earn more contribution points and spiritual stones, she was able to enter the second and third floors of the library to borrow books.
To outsiders, she is so desperate that she can be called a desperate thirteenth mother. In addition, many disciples have gone on missions with her, but their impression of her has changed a lot.
Zhang Tongmen, apart from being cold-tempered, unsociable and greedy for money, doesn't seem to have any major shortcomings.
Because she frequently took on tasks, many outer disciples thought she must be very rich and often looked at her enviously.
Who knows, if Zhang Zheng finds out, it will definitely be a huge misunderstanding.
She had earned a lot of contribution points and spirit stones, but they were all kept in the library, and even the annual elixirs were mostly resold.
Except for a storage bag full of replica jade slips, she can be said to be destitute. The only magical weapon she used was the dagger she had used seven years ago. It was even heavily damaged for some reasons. Her clothes were only two sect uniforms and one
Sometimes it is necessary to wear casual clothes when it is inconvenient to reveal your identity when you are on a mission.
The ancients said that there is a house of gold in the book, and there is a beauty in the book. If it is true, Zhang Zheng must be regarded as an invisible little rich man, but it is a pity that it is false. Knowledge is power, which is somewhat true.
In the past seven years, apart from practicing, Zhang Zheng has been working part-time, and apart from working, she has also been reading.
A life of three o'clock and one line of work may be unbearable for ordinary people, but Zhang Zheng has no choice. She has to do this. If she wants to take on a big responsibility, there is no way she can avoid suffering.
The seven years of hard training were not fruitless, at least her cultivation level increased by two levels. In addition, the most worthy of celebration was that after reading almost all the relevant books on the first three floors of the library, she was finally able to touch the tail of the Tao.
Perhaps she still needs an opportunity. When the opportunity comes and the time is ripe, she can truly see her own path and decide her own path. In this way, she can truly enter into practice.
By then, the sky will be high enough for birds to fly, and the sea will be wide enough for fish to jump. She, Zhang Zheng, will be able to survive!
However, the opportunity is unpredictable.
Reading books no longer had much effect on her at this stage. The outer door test was coming soon, and Zhang Zheng decided to go along with the crowd to see how lively the outer door test was.
In the next two days, Zhang Zheng was no longer in a hurry to take on the task, and practiced step by step, reading from time to time, until the day of the outer sect test.
Early in the morning, most of the outer sect disciples rushed to the martial arts arena excitedly. This competition was personally hosted by the inner sect elders, and many inner sect brothers and sisters also came to watch.
Zhang Zheng followed many disciples who crowded on the stone platform around the martial arts arena and looked curiously at the stairs above.
That was the venue where the elders and inner disciples watched the competition. There were not many people at the moment, and the few people seemed to be somewhat uninterested. It should be expected, after all, it was just a competition between the outer disciples, and most of the inner disciples were watching.
I don't like it. Those who can come are just here to watch the excitement. If you are lucky enough to meet someone with extraordinary talent, you may be able to introduce him and form a fate.
Just after the hour arrived, an elder in brown robes stroked a few strands of his beard and said angrily: "The time has come, and this year's outer sect test has officially begun. There are 572 people participating in this competition. In the first round, there will be two people in one arena.
, one person wins, and the consecutive numbers are the same arena, please invite the monks to come on."
Wanxuan Sect has strong financial resources, and even the outer martial arts arena has been built very wide. In addition to the central main martial arts arena, there are hundreds of auxiliary martial arts arenas scattered around like stars.
Today's first competition is held in the secondary martial arts field. A long phantom in the sky shows the names of the competing disciples in each martial arts field. The spectators can choose the arena to watch.
Of course, elders and inner disciples always have privileges. For example, there is an omnidirectional projection stone in front of them at this moment. Which arena they want to see can be displayed with just a thought.
Zhang Zheng has been very busy in the past seven years. Ye Qinghuan, who loves to trouble her, seems to be tired of the feeling of punching cotton, and gradually ignores her. Of course, it may also be because of their cultivation.
The gap is gradually widening. How can the clouds in the sky bother to grind the mud on the ground? I heard that Ye Qinghuan broke through the eleventh level of Qi training a few months ago, and this time he also participated in the outer sect test.
Almost all those who participated in the outer sect test were disciples who were above the tenth level of Qi training. How could such an outer sect master be involved with Zhang Zheng? Therefore, Zhang Zheng, who was ignorant of what was happening outside the window, had no idea about the strength of these monks.
.
"Who do you think will win the first place between Senior Brother Lu and Senior Brother Wang this time?"
"Who knows, but I think there is a high probability that it will be Senior Brother Lu, but I don't rule out that a dark horse will suddenly appear and win the championship in one fell swoop."
Hearing the conversation between the two monks next to him, it seemed that Senior Brother Lu was quite powerful. Zhang Zheng rolled his eyes and calmly followed the two monks talking to the martial arts field where Senior Brother Lu was competing.
There were two male monks on the scene, both wearing uniform brown sect uniforms. One was holding a strange wooden staff and his face could be considered handsome. It was Senior Brother Lu who was known to be powerful. The other was slightly shorter and held a simple
The array plate must be an array master.
Presumably they happen to be
"Fellow Daoist He, it's a pleasure to meet you." Senior Brother Lu was the first to say hello.
The Taoist fellow he spoke of had a stern face, but his words were like gold: "Nice to meet you."
Boom - the competition drum sounds, and the competition officially begins.
Senior Brother Lu was also the first to attack. He raised his wooden staff, moved his lips slightly, and a bunch of green vines rose into the air, rushing towards the opponent at extremely fast speeds.
Fellow Daoist He did not hesitate to give in. As soon as the magic formula came out, he turned into a shadow and hurriedly moved aside while quickly moving the array plate with his hand.
He was setting up the formation. Realizing this, Senior Brother Lu did not dare to test it easily. Once the formation master formed the formation, it would not matter if there were more than one enemy. He must fight quickly and not let the formation be completed.
"The vine tree plays the snake!"
As Senior Brother Lu hit the ground with his wooden stick, the entire martial arts arena was instantly covered with dense green vines. The thick vines surged like snakes and attacked Fellow Daoist He.
The audience outside the venue may only feel the spectacle, but for He Daoyou who was attacked inside the venue, he could even hear the strange vines neighing, as if a poisonous snake was spitting out a message and glaring at him.
There was no place for him to stay on the entire table, so the formation could not be completed.
This trick of "vine tree acting like a snake" is obviously one of Senior Brother Lu's biggest kills. The audience was very enthusiastic and shouted that Senior Brother Lu was brave.
For the first time, Zhang Zheng felt how powerful the masters from the outer sect were. This was just a duel, not a life and death fight. She was sure that if she were on the field, she might not be able to avoid even a vine.
Too weak, her heartbeat was pounding. This was different from the desperate fight when she encountered a life and death crisis. This was the second time she experienced the crisis from other monks. The first time was when she faced the demon cultivator. Both times, she could definitely
He said she had no power to fight back.
Zhang Zheng stared at the arena intently, unable to fully agree with the fact that most of the monks around him thought the situation was one-sided.
Although Fellow Daoist He was forced into a corner and seemed to be strangled by vines at any time, he showed no trace of anxiety except for a slight frown.
He still has a backup plan.
Sure enough, he decisively put away the formation disk, patted the storage bag, and a small purple sword appeared out of thin air. The small sword was about three fingers long, surrounded by fire, and there was a phoenix inscription engraved on the sword, with a phoenix eye.
Inlaid with a red spar, the spar is full of brilliance, as if it has given the soul of a phoenix bird, and you can tell that it is extraordinary at a glance.
"Red Phoenix Sword!"
As soon as the sword came out, an elder noticed this on the high platform and exclaimed in surprise.
His voice was not loud, and only the people on the high platform could vaguely hear it, so several people turned their attention to the martial arts field.
Fire defeats wood, not to mention it is a strange fire that you can tell at a glance is not ordinary.
Senior Brother Lu was frightened. He was connected to the wooden staff with his spiritual consciousness, so he could naturally feel the extreme terror reflected back from the wooden staff. When did this guy in front of him enter the outer sect? Why had he never heard of such a terrifying person?
This time I was really unlucky.
Senior Brother Lu couldn't help but sigh. His wooden staff was obtained by chance in a secret realm. It is a rare semi-growth magic weapon that is hard to find in the world. But now it is only the second-level mid-grade, and it is no match for the small sword in front of him. He
I don't dare to risk it. It would be a pity to destroy it.
But it would be too embarrassing to give up like this. He didn't want to do this cowardly act, so he put away the stick.
"Vine Shield!"
Without the help of any magic weapon, just relying on magic formulas, the power of the spells performed by Senior Brother Lu cannot be underestimated.
Fellow Daoist He remained cold-faced, commanded his sword, and the small purple sword stabbed out, as if flames were burning out of thin air wherever it passed.
The vines were obviously not as good as the small sword, and the shield was almost pierced, while the small sword was only slightly slower.
Senior Brother Lu was sweating like rain, and quickly changed the vines, gathering a bunch of thick branches to confront the small sword head-on.
At the thrilling moment, the purple-red sword finally stopped, and the vines were only less than one finger long.
Before he could let go of the mention, he saw Fellow Daoist He's gesture change slightly, and the small purple sword suddenly split into two pure flaming shadows, which violently attacked Senior Brother Lu's Dantian and Shenfu.
"I surrender!"
As soon as he said these words, the little sword stopped instantly. Senior Brother Lu's face was horrified. The sharp sword tip pierced the skin between his eyebrows, and his eyes were bright red. If he had been slower, the little sword would have pierced his Dantian and Shen.
The house is really scary.
Even if the elders intervene in time to stop him, his foundation will be damaged and he will probably be unable to make any progress in the rest of his life if he does not have the opportunity.
"Fellow Daoist Lu, I accept the offer."
The small purple sword was put back into the storage bag, and Daoyou He's face softened slightly and he bowed in salute.
Senior Brother Lu has also seen big scenes, so he was not frightened to death. He recovered from the momentary fright and sincerely congratulated him with clasped fists.
It's just an external test. There is no need to worry about it. People who are more powerful than him are like crucian carp crossing the river. So what if you use magic weapons? Luck and wealth are a kind of monk's strength. Besides, how can fellow Taoist master control the little sword like this?
The fact that he was so skillful showed that both his cultivation and spirit were solid and strong, and he was convinced of his defeat.
Fighting is all about having a smooth time. In this match, he saw again that there are people outside the world, and there is a sky outside the world.
After getting off the field, Senior Brother Lu rarely hurried away. He raised his head and looked at the sky. The sky was so high that even the towering mountains could not touch it. After he achieved some small achievements in the outer sect, although he told himself in his heart not to be complacent,
It was still inevitable that he would be uneasy and almost go astray. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sigh, he still had a long way to go.
The two protagonists on the stage had already left the stage. The monks watching the competition looked at each other in shock at first, as if they did not expect that Senior Brother Lu, the number one person in the outer sect, had actually lost in the first competition. Then, there was a burst of cheers and cheers.
This unknown fellow Daoist He made a splash in this outer sect test. Perhaps after the competition is over, he will be favored by the inner sect elders and accepted as a disciple.
