Chapter 2217 Trial
All the powerful saints worked together to send the treasure into the heart lake.
Hongtian stared at the direction where the treasure flew away. After a while, a trace of trance suddenly flashed in his eyes. Fortunately, he quickly broke free and regained his clarity.
"Amazing!"
A female cultivator exclaimed.
So many people took action together, touching upon the mysterious power in the heart lake, and they were almost pulled in, unable to extricate themselves.
“No wonder the old guys are so into it!”
Someone followed up with a sigh, "You better be careful when you attack later, it's up to the younger ones to do it next!"
"Brother Mu, have you already selected the personnel?" Hongtian interrupted.
"Hongtian, if you promise not to attack my people, I will tell you."
The man first responded loudly, and then secretly transmitted his voice, "I heard that you chose a human cultivator, who is very powerful. However, this person and your brother should be released to attract attention, right? I can guess who the person hiding in the dark is. Let's make a contract, and we will both benefit from it. How about it?"
Hongtian's expression changed slightly, and he said in a cold voice: "Brother Mu seems to know me very well? But I, Hongtian, have always done things openly and honestly, without any hidden tricks. If Brother Mu wants to target me, you can try."
"So, I guessed wrong? Haha, Hongtian, you misunderstood. There is no benefit, so why would I deliberately target you? I do have good intentions, so let's wait and see..."
The man's laughter gradually faded.
Hongtian snorted, his eyes flickered, and he didn't continue the argument.
……
The earth made a deafening roar.
After the roar, the sacred mountain stopped growing. The mountain was covered with stone cliffs and rows and rows of stone platforms, as if inviting everyone to climb the mountain.
Everyone was very cautious and did not act rashly, but after watching for a while, they found that the sacred mountain was very quiet. They could not see any monsters or the like, nor could they feel any fluctuations from the forbidden formation.
There is no danger visible to the naked eye. Whether it is really that safe or not, you need to experience it yourself to know!
Among those disciples of the ancestor, some could not wait any longer and sent out a beam of light, rushing towards the sacred mountain.
"Wait a minute!"
The prince of the Feathered People suddenly made a move. A black feather appeared in the void and fanned the escaping light fiercely.
A strong wind suddenly arose, and a muffled groan was heard from the escaping light. It flew back and a young man appeared on the ground. Although he was not injured, his robe was wrinkled and he looked quite embarrassed.
The young man glared at the Feathered Prince, but he also knew the gap between them and did not dare to really take action.
"Everyone!"
The prince of the Feathered Clan flapped his wings gently and flew to the middle of the two camps. "The number of stone platforms in the mountain can basically accommodate all of us, but the seats are arranged in different levels. Who will be on top and who will be the lowest? Who can stand proudly on the top of the mountain? Shouldn't we set a rule in advance?"
Disdainful laughter rang out from the crowd. "How difficult is that? It depends on one's own ability. Whoever is stronger and can overpower everyone else will occupy the top of the mountain!"
"Do all of you fellow Taoists think so?"
The queen of the merman tribe swung her tail, as if in the water, and swam out gracefully. She stood beside the prince of the feather tribe and smiled beautifully, "With so many people fighting, and their minds are not on the same page, how long will it take to determine who is the winner? Even if we can stand on the stone platform, who can stand firm if there are constant challengers?"
"Fellow Daoist, does your words have some hidden meaning?"
A man in white walked out from among the ancestor's disciples. He had sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, long colorful hair that almost dragged on the ground, and was very elegant.
This person seemed to have a very high status among the crowd. When they saw him stand out, others made way for him and allowed him to walk to the front.
The eyes of the Feathered Prince and the Mermaid Queen fell on the man in white. This man was the one they were looking for! In this situation, the most feared thing is that the other side will act independently and be unable to negotiate. Since there is a leader, it will be easy to discuss.
"May I ask your Dharma name, fellow Taoist?" The prince of the Feathered People bowed deeply and asked.
"Shengyu clan, Xi Rui," the man in white said with a bow.
The expression of the prince of the Feathered People moved slightly. Seeing the man's colorful hair, he guessed that the Shengyu Clan was one of the royal clans of the Feathered People, but this rule only existed in the Fog Sea. The other party would not recognize him as a superior clan now, and the other party's strength might not be weaker than his.
"Brother Xi," the Feathered Prince nodded, and changed his tone, "Don't think that we know nothing about this. Not only do we have to climb onto the stone platform, but we also have to refine the stone platform to become the master of the stone platform. Let me ask you, even if you have the upper hand, if we are determined to keep harassing you, how will you deal with it?"
Hearing this, many people became furious.
Xi Rui was very calm, and asked, "What do you two Taoist friends think?"
"Everyone chooses a stone platform, and outsiders are not allowed to interfere. The winner will be decided and become the owner of the stone platform. No one can compete with him anymore!" The prince of the Feathered People already had a plan in mind.
"No regrets on your move!" added the mermaid queen.
"What about the loser?" Xi Rui asked.
The prince of the Feathered Tribe replied, "The mountainside is the boundary. The losers will be sent down and are not allowed to cross the mountainside again!"
Those great saints did not tell them the specific reasons, but one thing was certain: the higher the rank, the more benefits they would receive in the future.
Below the mountainside, the value is greatly reduced, and the competition is not so fierce. As long as the candidate is decided in the upper half, the rest is very simple and can be repeated a few times at most.
Xi Rui frowned secretly. No regrets in making a move means that everyone can only have one choice. Even if one is extremely strong, if one encounters a stronger opponent, one can only blame himself for his bad luck.
The closer they get to the top of the mountain, the more intense the competition will be. When choosing which position to fight for, they must first measure their own strength and be extremely cautious. And if they don't agree, as the prince of the Feathered People said, as long as the other party is determined to harass them, they will not be able to concentrate on refining the stone platform.
Others only knew to refine the stone platform as much as possible and strive for a higher position, but Xi Rui knew more inside information.
Because the ancestor behind him has a special identity, and above him there is a master whose cultivation has reached the ancestral realm!
The powerful ancestors of the alien race are equivalent to the Mahayana monks of the human race. They are the existences standing at the top of the universe. There are few secrets in the world that can be hidden from them.
In the entire alien race, there are probably not many powerful people in the ancestral realm.
In this incident, not only the ancestors were involved, but there was also the shadow of a powerful ancestral figure behind it!
Before leaving, the ancestor gave me some enlightenment.
Only by refining the stone platform before the final moment can they receive some kind of blessing afterwards. Although it cannot play a decisive role in the final result, it can make their subsequent situation much safer. The higher the position, the stronger the power of blessing.
The ancestor did not say what this blessing was, and he did not dare to ask more. This secret was probably not known to many people in the field, and they would not reveal it voluntarily.
Because others originally thought that the position only affected the amount of benefits they would get in the end, but once it became a matter of life and death, they would fight for it with all their might.
Xi Rui did not agree directly, but went back to discuss with everyone.
Not long after, Xi Rui returned and said, "Okay, let's follow your suggestion! Anyone who dares to go back on his word will be unacceptable to us!"
As soon as the contract was signed, someone laughed and said, "If I choose a location halfway up the mountain, no one should compete with me, right?"
Before he finished speaking, an old disciple flew out, pointed to a stone platform halfway up the mountain, and flew straight to the sacred mountain.
The prince of the Feathered People and the queen of the Mermaid People looked coldly and glanced behind them.
The cultivators looked at each other, and for a moment no one stood up to compete with him.
The stone platform this person chose is halfway up the mountain, which can be said to be the bottom of the first wave of competition. Anyone with strength and ambition will choose a higher position.
For example, the prince of the Feathered Tribe, who has powerful forces behind him, will only focus on a few locations near the top of the mountain, and their opponents must be the same. If you want to scare off your opponents and ensure success, you must let your subordinates choose the same stone platform to help you, so that the pressure on other locations will be reduced and they will be the same.
This person was really smart. He saw through this and directly chose a location halfway up the mountain, where the competition pressure was the least and he would at least be ranked higher than the losers in the first wave.
In full view of everyone, this man successfully flew to the front of the mountain, but suddenly his figure sank and he almost fell to the ground.
Fortunately, this person reacted quickly enough and immediately steadied himself and went against the trend.
At this time, it was obvious that he was under invisible pressure, and the pressure increased as he went up. Everyone was secretly alert, as this would become an obstacle in the next fight.
Apart from this, there seemed to be no other danger. The man successfully flew to the stone platform he had pointed to before, landed safely, glanced around, and showed a look of joy.
Seeing him easily obtain a stone platform, the others couldn't help but feel excited.
"I want the one next to him!"
Immediately, two more people rushed out of the crowd.
The stone platforms halfway up the mountain were limited, and if they were a little slower, they would be snatched up. Anyway, the ancestor did not require them to climb to the top of the mountain, as long as they could stand halfway up the mountain, it would be enough for them to go back and report.
Just as others were eager to try, a whistling sound suddenly came from the sky.
Everyone looked up and saw a meteor falling from the sky.
‘Whoosh! Whoosh! ’
Three rays of fire broke through the void and fell towards the sacred mountain.
Everyone was surprised to find that the three flames landed on the stone platform that the three people had just selected!
Seeing this scene, those who were interested in it put away their thoughts and waited and saw what would happen.
The monk who was already standing on the stone platform looked at the meteor falling towards him and inexplicably had an ominous premonition.
At this moment, everyone finally saw the true appearance of the "Meteor", and three treasures were wrapped in the firelight.
"Those who participate in the Holy Land Trial must obey orders and stand firm before they can obtain the treasure..."
A grand and ethereal voice came from the horizon, echoing in everyone's ears. The voice contained a mysterious power, obviously coming from a Saint Realm power, and immediately caused a commotion.
Those ancestors and disciples looked at each other in bewilderment. The voice only mentioned those who participated in the holy land trial. Are they included in it?
"Heavenly Wind Tree!"
Qin Sang was surprised when he heard someone exclaim. He turned his head and saw that it was a female cultivator.
She stared at one of the shooting stars, which was enveloping a small tree.
This tree is as short as an ordinary shrub, with a few sparse branches, no leaves, and messy and dry roots, as if it has died. People with eyes can see that there is a small whirlwind at the top of each branch, which is always condensed and does not disperse. It is a spiritual tree called Tianfeng Tree.
This woman had been searching for the Heavenly Wind Tree for many years. She was so happy that she could not express it in words. She said to another female cultivator beside her, "I'm sorry, Sister Mi. The Heavenly Wind Tree is very important to me. I can't miss it no matter what!"
Having said that, the female cultivator leaped up and flew towards the sacred mountain.
The cultivator standing on the mountain suddenly had a gloomy expression on his face. The point where the Tianfeng Tree would fall was right here. What was originally a sure win now had an additional opponent out of nowhere.
Seeing this scene, Qin Sang and others were thoughtful.
It seems that this is the strategy of Hongtian and others, to lure people with benefits. If everyone had previously thought of pretending to obey and secretly disobeying, and tried to avoid offending the ancestor, what will they do now when faced with a treasure?
I'm afraid that most of them would make the same choice as the female cultivator. After all, the treasure is right in front of them, and even if the ancestor holds a grudge against them, that is a matter for the future.
What’s even better is that Hongtian and others gave everyone a perfect reason, and they can completely use the Holy Land Trial to defend themselves.
The female cultivator has a slender figure.
She was prepared in advance, and withstood the pressure, flying lightly above the stone platform, and landed gracefully under the gloomy gaze of her opponent.
"I am determined to get the Sky Wind Tree. Sorry for the offense!"
The female cultivator bowed and said in a gentle tone, "Fellow Daoist, you are no match for me. Please go back."
The difference in the aura between the two was clearly visible.
Her opponent was still unwilling to give in, so he raised a jade hook and sighed, "If you can take this hook, I will hand this place over to you."
The female cultivator nodded, spread out her sleeves, held them in front of her, and said in a crisp voice, "Please!"
"Fellow Taoist, be careful!"
As she spoke, her opponent threw out the jade hook.
The jade hook was seen striking straight at Yunxiu, and with a 'puff' sound, it sank deeply into her. The two kinds of spiritual light collided with each other, seemingly calm but actually concealing danger.
After a while, her opponent saw that the jade hook could not break through the cloud sleeves, so he sighed and put away the jade hook, "I lost."
Willing to accept the defeat, the man turned around and flew down the sacred mountain, smiling bitterly to himself. He thought he could get something out of the ordinary, but unexpectedly the loss outweighed the gain.
After seeing off her opponent, the female cultivator looked outside the mountain and was secretly delighted when she saw that no one came up to compete for her.
'Shuh! '
The Skywind Tree fell in front of the female cultivator. She stretched out her hand to take it, but her pretty face suddenly changed color and she retreated several feet. The fire around the Skywind Tree rippled, containing a terrifying force that almost bounced her away.
With a sudden change of mind, the female cultivator guessed what had happened and hurriedly sat down cross-legged, sinking her mind into the stone platform beneath her to refine it.
At this moment, everyone was watching the female cultivator's every move.
Not long after, the female cultivator opened her eyes and was surprised to find that the stone platform beneath her had turned into jade, crystal clear.
Without looking at it any further, she transformed into a big hand and eagerly grabbed the Tianfeng Tree.
The barrier outside the Tianfeng Tree disappeared, and a big hand easily passed through the flames, grabbed the tree trunk, and brought it in front of the female cultivator.
The female cultivator looked at the spiritual tree with a face full of joy. With her strength, she could definitely compete for a higher position, but being able to obtain the Sky Wind Tree was more worthy of joy than any treasure.
The female cultivator became the first big winner!
Qin Sang's eyes flickered. He had already guessed the rules of this trial. The list of treasures emerged in his mind. The trial and the battle for the rank of the sacred mountain were linked together. It might not be easy to get the most precious treasures.
