Chapter 772 Extra Story The First Emperor Candidate Test
Kyushu, in front of the unnamed secret realm, monks rushed here one after another.
If you observe carefully, you will find that the monks who rushed here are all outstanding people.
Heroes of Tianjiao looked at each other vigilantly. These are future opponents. Only by defeating all of them can they take over Lu Renhuang's position and become the new Renhuang.
"Gui Qianshan, the closed disciple of the lord of the Exorcist Sect, Meng Youyou, the master sister of the Hehuan Sect, and Xuanyuan Gang who has the same sword spirit root as the Sword Lord... are all familiar faces."
Tianjiao's outstanding people quickly recognized the identities of the others. They are all peers who are famous in the rumors of the rivers and lakes. All of them have their own uniqueness, which is enough to rule the roost among their peers.
They puffed up their chests a little bit, they are confident to defeat all opponents and become the seventy-second generation of emperors.
A handsome young man in white clothes, with a sword across his waist, attracted many monks to watch as soon as he arrived here.
"Look, that's Bai Hongtu, the Taoist sect walking, I knew that he must be on the list of candidates for the emperor!"
"I heard that he is known as the most outstanding Tianjiao in the past 9,000 years of Taoism. He is proficient in everything from alchemy to alchemy, and his swordsmanship is unmatched. A while ago, he was still shining in the Jianjun Sword Tomb. He sat quietly for three days. When he got up, two golden lights shot out from his eyes. The sword energy spanned 30,000 miles. Six of the eighteen stone tablets were cut off. Xuanyuan of the Jiange bowed down!"
Bai Hongtu has a dignified appearance, with a confident smile on the corner of his mouth, and he is full of energy. He is the object of admiration of countless female cultivators, and he is worthy of the name of the most outstanding genius of Taoism.
Soon, another cold female cultivator arrived and quickly attracted everyone's attention.
The cold female cultivator's peerless appearance, many people who want to get in touch with her, see the cold female cultivator's aura that is not close to others, and retreat.
Bai Hongtu and Qing Leng nun nodded at each other, as a greeting.
"That is Yuyin, Princess Tianyuan. I heard that in the Tianyuan Dynasty, there is no peer who can fight with her. Even if she fights against the older generation, she has won many times!"
Yuyin heard someone talking about her, and cast a cold glance, which made the person afraid to speak immediately.
"Yuyin, you still have this temper, be careful that you won't make friends." The young man who had just come to see this scene couldn't help laughing.
Most people have never met a face-to-face youth: "Who is that, do you know him?"
"I haven't seen it, but to become a candidate for the Emperor, there is no doubt about the talent. If I haven't seen it, there are two possibilities. The opponent is either a disciple of some power, or a casual cultivator. The latter is more difficult to deal with than the former."
Yu Yin was not surprised by the arrival of the young man facing him: "Jiang Li, as expected, you have also become a candidate for the Emperor."
Jiang Li smiled and said, "The earth veins are pleasing to my eyes."
"Jiang Li? I have an impression of this name. I heard that he is the student with the best graduation grades in the Dazhou Royal Academy. After graduation, many forces wanted to recruit him, but he was rejected by him on the grounds of wandering around. After that, it is not clear where he went."
"It seems that he went when the sword mound was opened."
"Could it be that he is also a sword cultivator?"
"It's very possible, sword repair is difficult to deal with in close combat, so be careful."
Jiang Li turned his head and saw Bai Hongtu, and greeted him warmly: "Old Bai, can you get in at this level?"
Bai Hongtu saw Jiang Li, walked over, and responded with the same enthusiasm: "When I become the emperor, I will definitely promote you to be the leader."
The two laughed, Yuyin was a little confused, not sure whether they had a good relationship or a bad relationship: "Do you know each other?"
"I know each other. A few days ago, the Sword Tomb was opened. I went to join in the fun and met Lao Bai. Lao Bai, this is Yu Yin, and he is also a friend I met in the secret realm."
"I know Yuyin, Tianyuan Dynasty Tianjiao, hello." With Jiang Li's relationship, Bai Hongtu and Yuyin's greetings are no longer as unfamiliar as the nodding acquaintances just now.
Yuyin is a little uncomfortable with the enthusiastic Bai Hongtu.
"When you were in Jianzhong, you were still at the Golden Core Stage, but now you are at the Nascent Soul Stage, and your cultivation speed is quite fast." Bai Hongtu looked at Jiang Li, one of the conditions for being a candidate for the Emperor is to reach the Nascent Soul Stage.
"It's rare that you can also become a candidate for the Emperor. Don't waste your talent. After this test is over, I will introduce you to the master and see if I can let you study in Daozong for a while."
Jiang Li was greatly moved: "Thank you."
Bai Hongtu waved his hand: "Corporates should be courteous."
"roll."
Yuyin said seriously: "I didn't think carefully. You and I joined forces to kill the enemy in the secret realm. You are kind to me. If you need it, I can copy the Tianyuan imperial family's explosive exercises for you."
In the secret realm, Yuyin saw Jiang Li's amazing fighting power, and forgot that he was a loose cultivator, without roots, and lacked skills. She realized this after Bai Hongtu said it.
"It's not a secret, right?" Jiang Li asked cautiously.
"Don't ask too much."
"You three know each other?" Another voice came from Ji Zhi, the last candidate for the Emperor.
Jiang Li rolled his eyes at Ji Zhi: "You can see the future with double pupils, and come here before the teacher comes every time."
As soon as Ji Zhi arrived, a kind old man appeared in the sky.
Everyone bowed and shouted in unison: "See Renhuang."
The seventy-first generation emperor, Lu Yu.
Looking at the newly elected candidate for the Emperor with a smile, Lu Yu was very pleased.
It is the future of Kyushu.
"There is no other purpose in calling everyone here today. The first thing is to let everyone get to know each other. If you want to become the emperor, you have to go through many tests. In the future, you will always have to deal more with each other."
"The second is to test everyone's ability. The secret realm in front of you is an unnamed secret realm that I accidentally discovered. Later, I will give each of you three wooden cards. You can compete with each other. Once you win, you can get one wooden card. Whoever gets the most wooden cards will be the winner."
Everyone found three small wooden signs around their waists, which could not be put into the storage ring.
Others entered the unknown secret realm one after another, Jiang Li and the others were the last to enter.
Before entering, the four of them were stopped by Lu Renhuang.
"Jiang Li, work hard."
A year ago, when Jiang Li was traveling in the Wu Dynasty, he met the Qingtian sect disciples who bullied the weak. The two sides had a dispute, and happened to meet Lu Renhuang who was visiting secretly in Weifu.
Lu Renhuang admired Jiang Li a lot, and later they ate noodles together on the street, and Jiang Li gave him a few cloves of garlic.
"Bai Hongtu, the fairy told me about you, and said that if the immortal ladder is still there, you might not be able to become the second Dao ancestor."
There is one more thing that Lu Renhuang didn't say, and Xian Weng also told him that if he doesn't like Bai Hongtu, he should be beaten, Daozong has no objection.
Lu Renhuang felt strange, he found Bai Hongtu quite pleasing to the eye, and I don't know why Xianweng said that.
"Yuyin, I already know about your life experience, Renhuangdian can come forward to help you sever your relationship with the Tianyuan imperial family."
"Thanks to Lu Renhuang for his kindness, Yuyin can solve this matter by himself."
"Ji Zhi, your father told me that your double pupils are too powerful to test your real level with double pupils. It is recommended that you only use double pupils during battle."
"yes."
Lu Renhuang said a few words and let the four of them enter the secret realm.
The secret realm is huge, with lakes, jungles and mountains everywhere. Once people enter, it is difficult to find them again.
"It looks like a secret realm left by a certain tribulation period or an immortal. It is so old that even the original function of the secret realm has disappeared."
Ji Zhi analyzed: "Obtaining wooden tokens, it is inevitable to fight. The terrain of the secret realm is complicated. Once the battle is fought, the test is the ability to respond on the spot."
Without words, Yu Yin darted directly to the dense forest, but could not be found, and soon there was the sound of fighting from that direction.
"I'll take a step first." Ji Zhi realized the urgency of time, and set off to disappear.
"Originally, I was thinking of four people working together, why did they disappear in a blink of an eye?" Jiang Li was a little dissatisfied, he had no team spirit at all.
"What's the plan?" Bai Hongtu asked.
Jiang Li talked about his plan, Bai Hongtu nodded frequently, feeling that it was very satisfactory.
Soon, Jiang Li and Bai Hongtu also chose to split up and **** other people's tokens.
In the secret realm, battles occurred from time to time, and the realm of the candidates for the Emperor was suppressed by Lu Renhuang at the early stage of the Nascent Soul.
Among them, Yuyin is the fiercest. Once they meet, no matter who the opponent is, they will choose to fight. After winning three games in a row, everyone chooses to avoid their edge. It is not worth wasting energy with Yuyin.
"Xuanyuan Gang, we meet again, come, let me see how many of the sword master's moves you have mastered." Bai Hongtu raised his sword and chuckled, he already had five tokens around his waist.
In just half an hour, Bai Hongtu had already grabbed two tokens.
Xuanyuan has just faced a great enemy. He possesses the root of the sword spirit. He thinks that no one can match his talent in the way of swordsmanship.
Daozong Walking lives up to its reputation!
"Come to fight!"
Two kendo monks fought in the dense forest, and the thick trees fell in pieces. Bai Hongtu was superior, defeated Xuanyuangang again, and got a token.
Bai Hongtu confronted the enemy with swordsmanship, even Xuanyuan Gang of Jiange was defeated by him, and he took away a wooden token.
Bai Hongtu rushed to the expected meeting place.
"You are Jiang Li? It's just a reputation you got by memorizing, you should be obedient... I'll go and you don't hit my storage ring, you know how much I spent on spirit stones to buy it from Mount Sumeru... my wooden sign!"
"There is an upright battle, don't fight the storage ring... don't steal the wooden card!"
"Wait, I shouldn't hang the storage ring on my chest... Don't you know the difference between men and women!"
Jiang Li's process of snatching the wooden plaque was very smooth, the only problem was mobilizing too many people's emotions.
I’ve never seen such a shameless style of play. When they came up, they played according to the position of the storage ring without saying a word. While their attention was on the storage ring, they followed the wooden card.
Jiang Li's actions caused outrage among the crowd, and the victims followed Jiang Li one by one.
"Catch up, don't let this grandson get away!"
Jiang Li ran desperately, seeing the momentum of the group behind him, he suspected that if he slowed down a step, he would be pinned to the ground and hammered.
Fortunately, Jiang Li is very experienced in being chased, so he won't be chased.
"This grandson is too good at running, let's disperse and surround him. Our Acacia Sect has a secret method, which allows us to transmit sound over a short distance without being detected!" Meng Youyou, the elder sister of the Acacia Sect, commanded the other victims.
Everyone felt that what Meng Youyou said was reasonable, and scattered to form an encirclement circle.
The encirclement gradually narrowed, and finally surrounded a lake, which was the meeting point of Jiang Li and Bai Hongtu.
"Want to go?"
"Bai Hongtu is here, wait a minute and listen to what they are saying."
In terms of fame, Bai Hongtu is definitely the most famous among the candidates for the Emperor, and the Dao Sect is the strongest among all the sects. One can imagine how high the gold content of the Dao Sect is.
…
"Fortunately, I ran fast, otherwise I would have been overtaken." Jiang Li panted heavily, being chased by a genius at the same level naturally required a lot of strength.
"Tsk tsk, you are not popular."
"Stop talking nonsense, how many wooden tokens did you get?"
Bai Hongtu proudly took out a few wooden tokens from his pocket: "Comparing the number of wooden tokens, you must be no match for me... Hey, I fell into the lake!"
Accidentally, a wooden sign slipped from the palm of his hand and fell into the lake. Just as Bai Hongtu was about to go down to the lake to pick it up, a vision appeared.
The calm surface of the lake swayed with ripples, as if golden springs of gold flowed out, supporting two wooden signs.
"Why are there two pieces!" Bai Hongtu was very surprised.
Jiang Li frowned: "Could it be that your hand slipped and two pieces fell into it?"
After finishing speaking, Jiang Li also threw down a wooden sign, and a miracle happened, and the golden spring water supported two wooden signs again.
Jiang Li lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then suddenly raised his head and exclaimed: "Golden spring gushes out, and everything is in pairs. Could it be that this is the Jubao Lake left by the Treasure Gathering Immortal in ancient legends?"
Bai Hongtu was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly realized: "I just remembered, there is a book "Strange Stories from the Immortal World" in the Taoist Sutra Pavilion, which records anecdotes and strange things in the immortal world. There is an earth immortal in the immortal world.
"Jubao Immortal was an immortal 160,000 years ago, and fell 60,000 years ago. If this secret place was left by him, after 60,000 years, it would be reasonable to desolate it."
Jiang Li nodded: "After all, this is a secret realm chosen by Lu Renhuang himself, and it is normal to have such a background."
"I'm narrow-minded. I thought Lu Renhuang was asking us to fight each other to test our ability to perform on the spot. Now it seems that the competition of knowledge and the root of the secret realm are also being tested."
"Lu Renhuang has a meticulous mind and can't just look at the surface."
"you're right."
Jiang Li threw two more wooden cards into it, but there were no four wooden cards, so he had to fish up two wooden cards.
"It seems that a person can only use the treasure pool once. You and I have no chance. Yu Yin and Ji Zhi don't know this place yet. Let's contact each other separately. They have a lot of wooden cards in their hands, which can be copied."
Jiang Li and Bai Hongtu separated, but Meng Youyou and the others did not stop them.
…
After the two left, Meng Youyou and the others looked at the lake water, their hearts beating thumpingly.
Good stuff.
"It's useful for Jiang Li to have read a lot of books. Who has heard of "Strange Stories from the Immortal World"?" Gui Qianshan, who drove the Corpse Sect, asked.
Several people shook their heads.
"Forget it, there are so many books in the world, it's normal if you haven't heard of them. The classics of our sect can't be compared with the Great Zhou Royal Academy and Dao Sect."
"I still need to study more in the future." Meng Youyou made up her mind.
"Let's not talk about this, let's quickly throw the wooden sign in."
"It's the extreme, that's the most important thing."
"Jiang Li just proved with practice that a person can only have one chance, so let's all throw the wooden cards in, so as to get the most wooden cards."
"good."
Several human emperor candidates threw the wooden sign in Qiqi.
The lake calmed down for a while, and then the formation under the lake showed its splendor, connecting the wooden signs together to form a package shape, jumped out of the water, and flew towards Jiang Li and Bai Hongtu who were hiding not far away.
The two put all the wooden signs in their arms, and ran away. If they were caught this time, they would not be so lightly beaten.
Everyone's complexion changed drastically, and they immediately realized that they had been cheated.
"Chasing! After I catch up, I will strip off their clothes and hang them from a tree!"
The fight for life began, Jiang Li and Bai Hongtu ran desperately, and everyone chased desperately, and they were going to chase each other to the death.
At the end of the test, everyone still failed to catch up with Jiang Li and Bai Hongtu.
"Lu Renhuang help, they are going to sell us to Hehuanzong!" The two yelled when they saw Lu Renhuang at the exit.
Lu Renhuang's eyes twitched, he witnessed the whole process.
Bai Hongtu lays out the layout under the lake, Jiang Li attracts hatred, the two meet by the lake, pretending that this is the treasure pool of treasure-hunting immortals, and put on a good show. In order to maximize the benefits, everyone must throw out all the wooden cards, so the formation is activated, and everyone's wooden cards fall into the hands of Jiang Li and Bai Hongtu.
He finally understood what Xian Weng meant when he said he wanted to fight.
Don't say that the emperor candidate wants to hit people, he also wants to hit people!
Let you show your ability to adapt to changing situations in the test, is your ability a lie!
Having said that, Lu Renhuang still protected the two of them behind him, like a hen protecting a chick.
"Okay, stop making trouble, your skills are inferior to others, pay more attention next time."
When Lu Renhuang said this, everyone could only bear with it.
This test only ranks, there is no reward, and everyone has no actual loss.
But angry.
"And you two, don't make funny faces to anger them." Lu Renhuang slammed Jiang Li and Bai Hongtu hard, and he couldn't see these two guys making funny faces behind them.
"Don't do that next time."
The trial results are based on the number of wooden plaques. Jiang Li and Bai Hongtu tied for the first place, and Yuyin ranked third.
Yu Yin frowned slightly, she didn't know how Jiang Li and Bai Hongtu did it, she kept fighting and winning, she should be the one with the best grades.
"This test is over. I hope everyone will sum up the shortcomings, adjust their mentality, and make persistent efforts. This test is just a small warm-up. The next test will be held in a month and we will be disbanded."
At the end of Lu Renhuang's speech, he glared at Jiang Li and Bai Hongtu who were showing off their achievements to Yu Yin and Ji Zhi.
The rules of the next test need to be adjusted, and they can no longer take advantage of loopholes.
…
In the early morning, Commander Liu saw that the scripture pavilion in Renhuang Hall was still lit, as if someone had forgotten to extinguish the candles from reading late at night until early morning.
"Kong Hu finally wants to read?" Commander Liu was overjoyed. The Sutra Pavilion is full of serious books, and Ma Zhuo and his wife will not come.
He walked into the Sutra Pavilion and found that it was Lu Renhuang flipping through the books.
"Master, you are..."
Lu Renhuang shook his neck: "Oh, Commander Liu, the two little **** Jiang Li and Bai Hongtu said that there was a treasure-hunting fairy in "Strange Stories from the Immortal World".
"Do you think I should go to Daozong's Buddhist scripture pavilion?"
Commander Liu was silent for a moment, and tentatively said: "Maybe, I mean possible, they even made up "Strange Stories of the Immortal World" and Jubao Xianren."
Lu Renhuang was taken aback for a moment, and said through gritted teeth, "These two brats!"
