Chapter 372 Discovery
I saw a majestic and majestic giant mountain rising from the ground very far in front of him.

It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a huge mountain, because the mountain extends to the left and right for an infinite distance, submerged in the hazy scenery at both ends that cannot be seen by the naked eye.Looking up, what stood in front of him was like a giant pillar of the sky, soaring into the sky, it was difficult to see its top.

The highest mountain range he has encountered in these years should be the Bone Mountain in the Blood Race Land. It is said that the Bone Mountain is [-] feet high.However, Bone Mountain is shrouded in obscurity all year round, and it is impossible to see the exact size.But he has an intuition that even if the bone mountain is huge, compared with the huge mountain in front of him, it is the difference between a little witch and a big witch.

Needless to say, this mountain is the famous Tiantan Mountain in the Eastern Region.

Facing the giant mountain that he had only seen in his life, Dongfang Mo felt an invisible oppression in his heart.Immediately, his mind was shaken, and the oppression was shaken away, and then his figure shook, and he continued to gallop forward.

It wasn't until he had traveled for more than half a day that he deeply understood what it means to run a dead horse from Wangshan Mountain. After traveling at his speed for such a long time, he was still extremely far away from Tiantan Mountain.

He wanted to use the compass to teleport directly, but he was worried that he had already reached the destination at this time, so he had to be careful in everything, maybe there might be a high-level monk from the Eastern Region here, so he must not make any risky moves.

After another half day passed, the sunset had dyed the large clouds in the sky red, and Dongfang Mo finally came to the foot of the mountain.

Looking up at the nearly vertical cliff in front of him, Dongfang Mo was overjoyed, and under the agitation of mana, he brought the wood escape technique to the extreme, turning into a hazy blue shadow and galloping towards the top of the mountain.

About half an hour later, it was already night.Dongfang Mo looked down at his feet and said in a low voice, "Go and see!"

After saying that, the shadow flickered from under his feet, and instantly merged into the night.

Not long after, the beast flew back again, and at the same time, Dongfang Mo clearly "saw" the range ten thousand feet above his head.But what surprised him was that from the picture brought back by the shadow, there was nothing special about the area above his head.

"Could it be that the boy from the Ten Thousand Gu Sect dares to tell lies to me?" Dongfang Mo thought in his heart.

But after thinking about it, he felt that it was unlikely, because the threat to the young man's life back then, and he didn't need to lie to himself about this matter, so he probably didn't lie.

Thinking of this, Dongfang Mo shook his head, secretly thinking that he was still at the foot of the mountain, and even if he found anything, it should be at the top of the mountain.So put aside distracting thoughts and continue climbing.

Just like that, another three days passed in the blink of an eye, and he didn't know how far he had traveled. He only knew to look down at his feet, and he could only see a vast expanse of whiteness.

But on the fourth day, Dongfang Mo finally lost his patience, and with a thought, he ordered the shadow to go all the way to the top of the mountain, and then turned back after discovering something.The speed of this beast is definitely much faster than him.

Before, he was worried that Han Ling, the white beast in her hand, would only show up if she was with the shadow.Together, the beast in Han Ling's hand will dominate the day, while the shadow will dominate the night.In his opinion, if the hand-picked person is selected at the top of the mountain, with Han Ling's strength, he will definitely be able to enter the top [-]. When the strange beast in this woman's hand detects the existence of the shadow, he will definitely have No small trouble.

But now he has no other way, if he doesn't quicken his pace, he will have no hope at all.

After the shadow left, he simply found a secret place to sit cross-legged and began to recover his mana, only waiting to restore his strength to its peak state.

In this way, the whole day passed again, and on the second day, the sky was just getting bright, and a black shadow "pushed" into his feet.At this point, Dongfang Mo's mind moved, and he began to close his eyes to check.

After a while, he suddenly opened his eyes with a look of shock.

It turned out that the top of the mountain was hundreds of miles away from where he was now.What surprised him was that the mountain forest near the top of the mountain was in a mess, and there were traces of fierce fighting everywhere.In addition, there are some corpses lying in disorder.

Further up, there is a vast and huge platform.There are quite a few monks on the platform. These people are dressed in different costumes, and it seems that they are all young people who have cultivated around the Foundation Establishment period.

Seeing this, Dongfang Mo was overjoyed, and he learned from Feng Luoye that the hand-picked person must be under the age of 50 and must be a monk below the Core Condensation Realm to be eligible.

Among them, no more than 50 years old is a requirement for qualifications.And if the cultivation base cannot exceed the condensed core state, it is because the higher the cultivation base is, the more difficult it is to pass through the star field barrier. The reason for the foundation building period is already the limit.

So in his opinion, these people are undoubtedly the ones who came to participate in the hand-picked selection, and the young men from the Wan Gu Sect really did not lie to him.

But when he took a closer look, he found that these people were now scattered in various places.Although the breathing is steady, most of them are in tattered clothes and look a little embarrassed.

It is worth noting that everyone is now focused, looking at a raging tornado enveloping a hundred miles in the center of the platform.

The tornado raged on the top of the mountain, rolling up boulders and ancient trees and tearing them to pieces.Because the tornado is so big, it looks like a black and thick wind wall.Even in the picture, Dongfang Mo can feel a majestic momentum.

When the picture reaches this point, the shadow turns back.So Dongfang Mo suddenly opened his eyes, and at the same time got up suddenly, took out the compass without thinking, and was about to pour it into it under the agitation of mana.

But in the next breath, he seemed to think of something, and temporarily stopped his mana.Instead, he put away the fly whisk in his hand, and then covered his wide Taoist robe with a scarlet cloak.At the same time, he took off the mahogany hairpin on his head, and his long hair was casually scattered over his shoulders.

Not only that, he also took out a mask without facial features from the storage bag, and this thing was given to him by the boy in the soap robe back then. If the monk is not careful, he will not be able to see his depth.

As for the cloak that Gusu Ci gave him, he didn't take it out, because he learned along the way that many geniuses from the Western Regions would come here. Jiang Zixu, Nangong Yurou and others had seen it before. Judging by the way he was wearing a cloak, maybe these two were among them.Dongfang Mo managed to completely change his appearance and aura, and he must not expose it again, so he was extremely cautious.

After putting the mask on his face, his appearance is completely different now compared to before.Although this appearance is extremely eye-catching, this is what he wants.

At this point, his mana continued to agitate and poured into the compass.After about ten or so breaths, his figure disappeared under the wrap of a white light.

At the same time, a white light flashed near the top of the mountain, and Dongfang Mo's slender figure appeared here.

As soon as Fang appeared, he raised his head and looked around, and at the same time a powerful sense of consciousness erupted.I saw that where his consciousness and eyes could see, it was really a mess, and many corpses were exposed in broad daylight, letting the wind and the sun shine.

"I didn't expect this selection to be so cruel that so many people died."

Dongfang Mo naturally also learned from Feng Luoye that each time the selection of hand-picked people was carried out through some unique methods.One of the most common is to compete for strength, and the winner is determined by strength.It's just that in the past, there were always requirements to distinguish between superiors and inferiors, and to be forbidden to distinguish between life and death. Although he had never participated in the selection of hand-picked people, he still knew that there seemed to be some changes in the selection this time, and it was not quite the same as before.One or two can also be seen from the five-fold increase in the number of hand-picked people.

However, all of this has nothing to do with him. He lost his figure and continued to gallop upwards.

It's just that the closer you get to the top of the mountain, the stronger the wind blows.Dongfang Mo's expression changed slightly. In his opinion, it should be caused by the aftermath of the tornado on the top of the mountain.However, this gust of wind was not enough to affect him in the slightest. Soon after, he finally came to the huge platform on the top of the mountain.

When he arrived here, he raised his eyes and looked around, and he really saw many monks scattered around, all sitting cross-legged, watching the huge tornado ahead.

Following the gazes of these people, his expression twitched slightly, and only then did he clearly sense that this tornado was even more violent than he had imagined.From bottom to top, from thin to thick, the highest point has already stirred up the clouds in the sky.Looking up, the black clouds rolled, as if there was a prehistoric beast haunting it.

"Shh!"

Everyone felt Dongfang Mo's arrival, and they all looked over.But when they found that he didn't dare to show his true face, they couldn't help frowning.Some people showed doubts, while others made no secret of their sarcasm.But most of them just shook their heads and stopped paying attention to him, instead continuing to stare at the huge tornado.

Seeing this scene, Dongfang Mo was extremely suspicious.After pondering for a moment, he fixed his eyes, walked forward, and came straight to a horse-faced young man with a pale face, about 27 or [-] years old, and deliberately lowered his voice and asked:
"This fellow Taoist, dare to ask what's going on?" After speaking, Dongfang Mo stretched out his finger to the huge tornado in front of him.

Hearing this, the horse-faced youth raised his head, glanced at his strange attire, and said:

"The hand-picked battle is over, and all fifty hand-picked people have been decided, and they are all in there now."

Hearing his words, Dongfang Mo's eyes showed a hint of resignation, and he said: "When will it end!"

"Half a year ago." The horse-faced youth said lightly.

"Half a year ago?" Dongfang Mo gasped for breath, then he raised his head, and also looked at the tornado thousands of meters ahead.After thinking for a moment, he asked again: "Why are those people still in it after it's over?"

"Hey, fellow daoist probably didn't get to participate in this hand-picked battle." At this moment, the horse-faced youth looked at him and smiled lightly.
