Fortune Teller

Xi Palace, a majestic palace.

The cyan figure stood with hands behind his back, Chengkong and Qingshuang stood beside him with respectful faces, and below was the envoy from Dangyang.

"Dangyang, you should have received the summons from Master Yi Ming. Do you have any objections to this result?" the green figure said indifferently.

"My subordinates have no objections."

The envoy from Dangyang lowered his head, and there was no trace of arrogance on his face.

Gu Xiuyun's secret pattern map made him completely understand the other party's strength. It was all nonsense that he was good at material secrets and was crude in destiny.

The art of destiny is so crude that it can destroy his mind with just a secret pattern and make him comatose for several days?

"Okay," the green figure continued, "In that case, after the sect's election, you can go to the Yinming Ancient Temple. It is isolated from the world and is affected by special forces, so it cannot contact the outside world. However, it is also a rare place of cultivation. You may be able to go a step further by practicing in the ancient temple.”

"I obey my orders."

The envoy from Dangyang bowed and nodded.

"We actually went there," Chengkong looked ahead, with a bit of envy on his face, "The Yinming Ancient Temple is one of the top cultivation treasures in Hunyuan Void, and it is of great benefit to tempering one's will. Tangyang is a blessing in disguise this time. ”

"Not necessarily," Qingshuang whispered, "Although there are many opportunities in the Yinming Ancient Temple, there are also many dangers. If you go there, you will not be able to maintain the stability of the universe, which is equivalent to losing half your life. And there are many dangers in the ancient temple. Whether he can survive the terrifying mixed-source demon spirit is still unknown. "

"Hybrid source demon spirit..."

Hearing this word, Chengkong took a deep breath, and the envy on his face instantly disappeared.

The Hunyuan Demon Spirit is one of the most special beings in the Hunyuan Void. It is born extremely powerful and can only survive in the depths of the secret realm.

For example, the Wuling Demon Lord in Hongjie Domain is a mixed-origin demon spirit.

When the source beast forces attacked Hongming Mountain, Gu Xiuyun, Luo Shen, and Jueshan could only retreat steadily. However, Wuling Demon Lord blocked the two masters with his own strength. One can imagine how powerful the Hunyuan Demon Spirit is. .

Compared to the Hongjie Domain, the Yinming Ancient Temple is far more dangerous. There are so many mixed-source demon spirits living there that it makes one’s scalp numb.

"Qingshuang, I remember you have been to Yinming Ancient Temple before?" Chengkong asked quietly.

"I only stayed for a short time," Qingshuang responded. "It was too dangerous there. I had to take the risk to go there in order to collect the sand from the Yinming River and refine my natal spiritual treasure, but it was only for a few days. , and it is already full of dangers. Although Dangyang is much stronger than me at that time, it is hard to say whether he will survive if he will stay there for a year. "

The two looked at each other and sighed secretly.

The Yinming Ancient Temple is too dangerous.

At the same time, the cyan figure spoke again, "Counting the time, the test of Jiuzhongyuntai should be almost over. Chengkong, you go summon the elders of each hall and prepare to recruit practitioners from all walks of life who have passed the test. As for Dangyang and Qingshuang, The two of you go to the secret trial realm of the second level and wait to avoid any surprises. Please retreat!"

"As commanded."

The three of them bowed and left.

…

The space of thoughts, above the nine-layer cloud platform.

One by one, the supreme beings of the universe were sitting cross-legged, looking at the cloud platform below.

"Compared to previous years, this year's cultivators seem to be much inferior," a supreme leader shook his head and said, "With the blessing of a hundred times the speed, only so few people passed the test."

"It's already pretty good."

Another person said, "The chaos caused by the Origin Beast caused the Xihuang Heavenly Territory to lose a large number of disciples. The ability to gather these was the result of the deployment of elites from the Qingxiao Heavenly Territory."

Everyone looked down, with either happiness or sadness on their faces.

Fortunately, there is not much competition, and their disciples will have a greater chance of joining the Xi Imperial Palace. What is worrying is that there are too few elite disciples in this class, and the credit given by the sect will be reduced accordingly, and it will finally be distributed to them. There are even fewer.

Suddenly, one of the elders looked towards the sixth floor of the cloud platform.

"Then junior... actually succeeded?"

Everyone followed their gazes and saw the scholar standing alone in front of an ordinary stone tablet. A shallow mark was revealed on the surface of the stone tablet. It was the soul mark formed after refining the stone tablet, which also meant that this person had understood the meaning of the stone tablet. The magic formula has the qualification to ascend to the seventh level.

"If I remember correctly, this person's progress was not very fast before." A Supreme said.

"It's very slow," another person said. "It took him seven years for the third layer of stone tablets, sixteen years for the fourth layer of stone tablets, and twenty-three years for the fifth layer of stone tablets. Logically speaking, The sixth level of the stone tablet has reached the limit of his own cultivation, and the difficulty of understanding it has increased at least a hundred times. It only took him forty years to successfully cross it. "

After the words fell, everyone's faces showed expressions of excitement.

Forty years later, he understood the sixth layer of stone tablets. Among all the cultivators who participated in the test, it was not amazing. It could only be said that he barely reached the threshold of candidate disciple. But what is rare is that this person could not be anxious or impatient, step by step. Breaking your own limits.

This kind of character is really amazing.

"For practitioners, talent and understanding are one aspect, but what is more important is the Taoist mind. Especially after entering the Qiankun realm, the Taoist mind has a greater impact on practice. This person can always maintain a calm state of mind during the test. It’s not simple, it’s not simple!”

Elder Wen Shi of Danjiang Hall praised him repeatedly.

"That's what I say, but after all, he is only a Six Difficulties True Master," Elder Liu Chong shook his head and said, "And his understanding is indeed a little worse. Look at the juniors in Qiushan Realm, who are also in the Six Difficulties Realm, but he started from the first It only took a short two years to reach the sixth level, and now I have understood most of the seventh level stone tablets. Only with this kind of understanding can the sect be qualified to cultivate it with all its strength. As for the junior, I don’t think he can achieve it even if he practices till death. Supreme Qiankun.”

"Talent can be improved by external forces, but can Taoist mind be improved?" Elder Wen Shi retorted repeatedly, "When it comes to understanding, which of the Qiankun Supremes in our sect is not gifted by nature, but how many of them can become acting elders?"

"As long as your understanding reaches a certain level, all possibilities are possible. Gu Ximing is the best example. When it comes to Taoism, he is much worse than us. He has not become the law enforcement elder of Xi Imperial Palace." Elder Liu Chong scoffed. sneered.

"Okay, let's stop fighting." An elder from the Huanyu Palace quickly smoothed things over. "Whether it's Taoist heart or understanding, they are all talents that the Xi Palace needs. As for how successful they will be in the future, it depends on their own abilities. This matter has nothing to do with us.”

At this moment, a thick wave fell from the sky.

Everyone raised their heads and saw Elder Chengkong walking towards him, his powerful aura covering everyone's heads like a tide.

"Greetings to Master Chengkong."

The supreme figures in each palace quickly bowed and saluted.

The people in the mind space are the most common supreme beings in each branch hall. Those with the highest cultivation level are only in the first level of acting. Facing Chengkong in the third level, they naturally dare not be disrespectful at all.

However, facing everyone's salutes, Chengkong's face turned a little gloomy.

"I heard you right, were you mocking Elder Ximing just now? Liu Chong, is that true?"

"My subordinates dare not."

Liu Chong trembled slightly and quickly explained, "We are just discussing which is more important, Taoist heart or talent. Fellow Taoist Wen Shi believes that Taoist heart has a greater impact on practitioners, but I hold the opposite opinion. During the discussion, I accidentally said Elder Xi Ming, please forgive me."

"Yeah?"

Chengkong snorted angrily, "I hope I heard it wrong, but remember, if anyone lets me hear such words again in the future, I will never be polite."

Liu Chong suddenly broke out in cold sweat on his forehead.

The Supreme Qiankun around him also took a breath, thankful that he didn't talk too much.

Only a few elders from the main hall were a little confused. As far as they knew, when the rumors about Gu Ximing came out, Elder Chengkong also laughed at him a few times, and his words were very rude. Why did it suddenly change now?

"Perhaps he has the benefit of cherishing his life. This person has cultivated both lines and is valued by the master of Yi Ming Palace. It is not surprising that he has some treasures in his hand." Several elders of the main palace whispered.

…

Inside the cloud platform.

Practitioners from various worlds are still silently meditating on the stone tablet.

The general election of the sects in Xihuang Palace is not based on the number of levels reached at the end, but on the potential of each person.

For example, a Yinan Venerable who has just entered the transcendent realm, no matter how talented he is, cannot reach the fourth level, because his realm is limited, and it is already very good if he can reach the second level.

And if it is the Seven Difficulties Realm Lord, he must at least reach the seventh floor before he can worship in the Xi Palace.

In a certain layer.

Chu Weijun sat cross-legged and looked at the stone tablet in front of him with a wry smile, "I still overestimate myself. Junior Brother Zhu is right. Compared with Yuanchen Rules, Tianxing Rules are more suitable for me, but the path has already been chosen. It’s too late even if you regret it.”

The stone tablet in front of him contains a special secret technique that tells the rules of Yuan Chen.

The Yuan Chen Rule is also one of the inferior Taoist methods. It is much more powerful than the Tianxing Rule, almost comparable to the Sword Way and the Gun Way. Therefore, Chu Weijun has always wanted to switch to this avenue, but now, he regrets it.

"It seems that the fifth level is my limit, and I am already a True Master of the Six Difficulties. It is probably impossible to be recognized by the Xi Palace."

Chu Weijun shook his head helplessly.

Dao practice does not tolerate half-heartedness, but everyone understands the truth, but how many can really do it?

In addition to Chu Weijun, there are many Changhe Sect disciples gathered on this cloud platform.

Among them were Yu Fairy and Que Sha, who were once familiar with Gu Xiuyun. They both followed the Venerable and left the realm of heavens. However, compared to those Venerables, Yu Fairy, Que Sha and others were obviously much inferior in talent and understanding. After years of practice, I am still stuck between the five and six difficulties.

"I never expected that an illusion could have so many changes."

Fairy Jade looked at the stone tablet in front of her, her face filled with admiration, "Although I can no longer set foot on the sixth floor, it is worthwhile to be able to master such a powerful illusion secret technique."

She had a feeling that as long as she could integrate the first five levels of magic techniques, it would be possible to enter the realm of World Master.

That is already a level that countless creatures in the heavens desire but cannot reach.

"The Poison Dao is indeed infinitely mysterious."

Qinsha stared at the stone tablet in front of him, his eyes shining brightly.

Both of them moved forward silently on their own spiritual path.

…

Finally, one day, a rumble of bells came from the mind space.

The nine-layer cloud platform test has come to an end.
