Emerald Valley.
Council hall.
On the first seat, Zhuang Qingxian thought for a long time before saying: "Elder Lan, you are saying that there is no need to let the best disciples go."
Elder Lan is the Great Elder of the inner door of the Emerald Valley. He is now eighty years old. Although his talent is not very high, he is an indispensable pillar for the Emerald Valley. Because of this reason, he has become conservative in his conduct, and he is one of the few representatives who hold opposing opinions regarding Tianmeng Ancient Land.
"Guzhu, our Emerald Valley is now the overlord of the Tianfeng Kingdom. There is no need to take risks. The death rate in Tianmeng Ancient Land is extremely high. Thirty years ago, 645 disciples from the Nine Kingdoms entered, and 400 of them came out alive." Fifty people. Twenty years ago, 630 disciples went in, and 410 people came out. Ten years ago, 615 people went in, and only 370 people came out. It is higher than the one-year mortality rate, and this time it may exceed half of the mortality rate."
As soon as these words came out, those inner sect elders who were about to persuade Elder Lan fell silent. Indeed, it is a fact that the death rate in Tianmeng Ancient Land is high. If you send the best disciples in the valley, if you are unlucky, most of them will be killed or injured. .
For Emerald Valley, this will be a heavy blow.
A radical elder from the inner sect stood up and said: "Master Gu, Elder Lan, you can't say that, and you can't be timid because of the high death rate. If my guess is right, the other four sects will definitely send the best disciples to you. Go in, as long as these disciples can come out alive, they will definitely improve a lot compared to before, and they may break through to Baoyuan Realm, and at that time, the advantages of our younger generation in Emerald Valley will disappear."
"Elder Liu is right. It's time for the younger generation to see the blood. If there are vacancies, I'm willing to let my nephew in."
"The ancient land of Tianmeng opens once every ten years. The opportunity is very rare, so don't let it go to waste!"
"One tenth of the disciples who survived from Tianmeng Ancient Land will step into the Yuanyuan Realm. That is to say, thirty of the three hundred disciples will become Yuanyuan Realm warriors."
The second elder next to Elder Lan said, "Master Gu, I think things can be handled in a compromise. Emerald Valley is a seventh-rank sect, and there are eight places. Among the eight places, four of the best geniuses can be dispatched. For the four places, we should choose the second-class geniuses, if so, even if the losses are heavy, it will not hurt the bones."
Hearing this, Zhuang Qingxian was a little moved, because of his status, Emerald Valley is the overlord of Tianfeng Kingdom, so there is really no need to put all his eggs in one bet, it is best to have the best of both worlds.
"Then how do you think the quota should be allocated?" Zhuang Qingxian asked.
The second elder glanced at Elder Lan, "Eldest disciple Zhuang Fei must go. He is an early-stage warrior of the Baoyuan Realm, and he is strong enough to compete with ordinary warriors of the middle-stage Baoyuan Realm. With him, the survival of our Emerald Valley disciples is more secure. It is a kind of deterrent. As far as I know, the young generation of Daluo Kingdom has the most Yuanyuan Realm fighters, reaching four, Baixuan Kingdom and Tiansnake Kingdom each have three, and the other five countries are the same as our Tianfeng Kingdom. If it reaches two, you have to guard against it."
At this time, Elder Lian Lan also nodded, obviously agreeing with the Second Elder's statement.
The second elder continued: "Liu Wuxiang and Ji Xueyan are also going. They have a great hope of stepping into the Baoyuan Realm. Shi Potian has not recovered yet, so he will stay in the valley and replace him with Liu Xuan, who is the fifth-ranked core disciple. The four of you should choose the core disciples who are not in the top ten!"
Zhuang Qingxian was very satisfied with the second elder's best of both worlds approach, and said, "Okay, the quota for Tianmeng Ancient Land has been determined, there is no need to talk about it."
North Snow Villa.
chamber.
Xue Wuren put his hands behind his back, "There is nothing to discuss about this matter. The eight places must be the best disciples. I don't want to wait another ten years."
Like his sword skills, Xue Wuren has always been decisive in his actions, and what has been decided cannot be changed.
Everyone smiled bitterly and exited the hall.
After a while.
Eight young figures walked in, the three leading them were the gentle young man in white clothes Shengxue, Beixue's sharp swordsman Lin Qi, and the bully swordsman Yu Yue.
"Master." Everyone said respectfully.
Xue Wuren nodded, "There is no other reason to call you here, I just want you to understand Tianmeng Ancient Land and what to pay attention to."
The gentle young man asked: "Master, is it true that Tianmeng Ancient Land cannot be seen with the naked eye?"
"The ancient land of Tianmeng is located in the cracks of space. Before it is opened, it is indeed invisible to the naked eye, and even the spiritual power cannot detect it. This time you enter the ancient land of Tianmeng. Please remember to accept it as soon as you see it. The goal is to steadily increase your strength. Lord, don't be greedy. Secondly, don't be the target of public criticism. You must know that everyone is innocent, and you are guilty. When you see something that makes others envious, either kill the other party immediately or discard this thing. Don't be surrounded by everyone. , otherwise the death is a small matter, and other people will be implicated."
There are many treasures in Tianmeng Ancient Land, such as magical weapons, heaven and earth elixir, and cheat books. The background of the five major sects is getting deeper and deeper, because every ten years, a group of disciples will be sent to Tianmeng Ancient Land. , the Zongmen's treasures and cheats will be more, of course, it is not in vain to contribute to the Zongmen, the Zongmen's senior management will reward them with corresponding spirit stones according to the value of the treasures.
...In the yard, Ye Chen sat cross-legged under the tree, his body motionless.
This tree is a common Cangxuan tree in Qingfeng Mountain. It started to drop its leaves in July. Now in mid-September, the leaves are falling very fast. Even if it is just a breeze, there will be three or four leaves. Floating down.
A few hours passed, and Ye Chen's hair, clothes, and clothes were covered with dozens of withered and yellow leaves.
There were slight footsteps coming from a distance outside the yard, getting closer and closer.
"Is Ye Chen there?"
"Excuse me, is Ye Chen here?"
creak!
Someone called several times, but seeing no one answered, he pushed open the courtyard door and walked in.
The ones who came in were the deacon disciples, and the deacon disciples used to be inner disciples. According to the sect's regulations, if the inner disciples failed to enter the Baoyuan realm before the age of twenty-four, they had to be transferred to the deacon hall and become the sect's fighting master. Personnel or non-combat members, of course, once they step into the Yuanyuan Realm level, they can also become elders of the outer sect, and this is the most critical point.
This deacon disciple is about twenty-five years old, and his cultivation base is at the peak of the late stage of the Condensed Realm. Compared with most inner disciples, his strength is very high, and he is almost as good as the top ten inner disciples. He soon saw that sitting cross-legged Ye Chen under the tree frowned slightly.
When warriors are practicing, they are basically not allowed to interrupt. If they are interrupted at a critical moment, the other party probably has the intention to kill someone.
With a helpless smile, the deacon disciple stood aside and waited without making a sound.
Whoosh... Suddenly a gust of wind blew by, and dozens of dead leaves swept down and swirled one after another.
At this moment, Ye Chen opened his eyes, their sharp eyes shining brightly.
The deacon disciple was about to speak, but saw an astonishing scene. Ye Chen's eyes swept away. The falling leaves in front of him seemed to be cut by an invisible sharp blade, and they were instantly divided into two, two into four, and four into eight. The space became a sky full of debris.
"Sword intent, the legendary sword intent!"
The deacon disciple shouted wildly in his heart, although he is just an ordinary deacon disciple, it does not mean that his knowledge is low. Whether it is in ancient books or word of mouth, a swordsman who comprehends the meaning of the sword can hurt people with invisible objects , Such as giving a ray of sword intent to the air, making it have extraordinary lethality and killing people. Just now, Ye Chen imbued the sword intent on the air in front of him through his eyes, cutting the leaves easily.
"What's up?"
Standing up, Ye Chen shook off the leaves on his body and asked.
The deacon's disciple said respectfully, "The suzerain is here to invite you."
"Lead the way ahead!"
Ye Chen's expression is very flat. These days, his desire for sword intent is no longer so urgent. After practicing every day, he would meditate under the big tree for a while. The detached mentality of wanting nothing, on the contrary, allowed him to break through half a step of sword intent, and finally comprehend the true sword intent that a swordsman dreams of. Whether it is temperament or soul, he has improved in quality. He still doesn't know what level he has reached. .
"yes!"
The deacon disciple's tone was humble. Originally, he didn't need to curry favor with the inner disciples and core disciples. He just faced Ye Chen and showed his respect naturally. Thinking about it, it's no wonder that in the True Spirit Continent, the strong are always respected, even if they are not. Shicai also needs to maintain a certain amount of respect when he encounters a high-level powerhouse, otherwise he will be purely reckless and will be strangled at any time.
Under the leadership of the disciple deacon, Ye Chen came to the hall.
in the hall.
Zhu Mei, Luo Hanshan, and Xu Jing were all there, and next to them were some elders from the inner sect. The first one was the mighty suzerain Luo Xinglie.
"Sovereign, hello elders." Ye Chen folded his fists and bent over.
Luo Xinglie nodded.
"Tomorrow is the time to go to Tianmeng Ancient Land. Before that, let me say hello to you. Tianmeng Ancient Land is complicated. There may be palaces in the mountains, tombs in the water, and treasure houses in the ground. , There are countless ways to enter. Sometimes a big tree may be the entrance, sometimes you need to move a big rock, and sometimes you can jump down the mountain to get in. In short, anything can happen inside, so don’t keep Take it easy, don't mess yourself up."
"yes!"
The four of Ye Chen nodded.
Luo Xinglie continued: "There are many treasures in Tianmeng Ancient Land, and there are countless secret books, so it is obviously impossible for you to contribute in vain, so according to the value of the contributed items, the sect will give you a certain amount of spiritual stones, such as human-level top-level secret books, which can generally be exchanged Fifty low-grade spirit stones, earth-level low-level cheats can be exchanged for 3,000 low-grade spirit stones, earth-level middle-level cheats are very rare, and it is difficult to find in Tianmeng Ancient Land, and can be exchanged for 3,000 middle-grade spirit stones, The same is true for other treasures and elixir, of course, if you donate the secret book to the sect, you can still practice it yourself, but you can't pass it on to others, understand?"
"Understood!"
Even though he knew that these things were worth so many spirit stones, Ye Chen was still very surprised. It seemed that the sect was going to spend a lot of money this time, but Tianmeng Ancient Land was not a playground. Disciples from nine countries all entered it. It's normal, especially disciples who are carrying heavy treasures should be more careful.
