The two of them looked at Ouyang Xu, and one of them smiled and said: "It looks like you want to participate in the selection of the Five Elements Sect disciple, so I will tell you. [...!"
"Then thank you both of you." Ouyang Xu smiled gratefully, and sat in the next seat.
Next, Ouyang Xu asked about the doubts in his heart. Although they were surprised that Ouyang Xu didn't even know the selection of the Five Elements Sect, they didn't investigate it deeply.
By asking Ouyang Xu, I learned that the Five Elements Sect here is a branch sect established by the Five Elements Sect. It is located in the Jiuyang Mountain Range that year. It is less than a hundred years since the establishment of the sect. It is a branch sect that has just been established. It is precisely because of this. Keep recruiting disciples, otherwise a large sect like the Five Elements Sect would not know how many disciples there are in reserve. Unless it is a genius, it is difficult to get into the Five Elements Sect.
It is only seven days before the disciple selection of the branch of the Five Elements Sect. There are people in all directions and even millions of miles away to participate in the selection of disciples of the branch of the Five Elements. It can be said that every selection is a genius. Gathered.
After listening to the two men, Ouyang Xu felt a little complicated and angry. He did not expect that the residence of the Nine Suns Refining God Sect would now become the branch residence of the Five Elements Sect. It can be said that this is a very ironic thing.
"Five Elements Sect!" A cold light flashed in Ouyang Xu's eyes. Although he was not very clear about the sect forces that attacked the Nine Suns Refining God Sect back then, he was most suspicious of the three sects, two halls and a mountain range. Now the Five Elements Sect is occupied The Jiuyang Mountain Range is undoubtedly even bigger.
In order to confirm what the two said, Ouyang Xu specially left Jiuyang City and came to the air not far from the Jiuyang Mountain Range. After some observation, he found that the entire Jiuyang Mountain Range was shrouded in a formation, constantly receiving the surroundings. Aura, this level of mountain guarding formation is definitely not something that ordinary sects can do.
Returning to Jiuyang City again, Ouyang Xu thought to himself that if he wanted to get the treasures left by the Nine Suns Refining God Sect, he had to enter the Jiuyang Mountain Range, only through the location connected to that space in the Jiuyang Mountain Range. , Can use the jade pendant to open and enter.
Now that the Jiuyang Mountain Range has been occupied by the Five Elements Sect, and protected by the mountain protection formation, it is undoubtedly impossible to sneak in, let alone his current strength, even a true martial artist of the seven or eight heavens. It's nothing in front of the Five Elements Sect.
"It looks like I have only one way now." Ouyang Xu sat cross-legged and waited quietly, thinking to himself.
In a blink of an eye, seven days passed. During these seven days, Jiuyang City successively came to a large number of young martial artists. Most of these people are true-dao level martial artists. In addition, there are some nine-fold heaven peaks with genius qualifications. The people of Jiuyang City, which was not very lively, suddenly became crowded.
"It's time!" Ouyang Xu, who was practicing, woke up, his eyes burst with a frightening light, and he hurriedly left the inn.
As soon as I arrived outside the inn, I saw a group of people rushing outside the city. Ouyang Xu quickly followed, and soon everyone left Jiuyang City and came to a vast open space near the Jiuyang Mountain Range behind.
Standing on a tall tree, Ouyang Xu glanced around, and was shocked to find that the number of people who had come to take part in the test this time was tens of thousands of people, and there were crowded heads everywhere.
As Ouyang Xu scanned the surroundings, two streamers flew out from the Jiuyang Mountain Range and appeared in front of everyone like two streamers.
The figure stopped in mid-air, revealing two figures wearing purple robes, the two of them looked cold and handsome, and looked down at the people present with dignity.
"Now they are divided into two groups. On the left stands the martial artist who has not yet advanced to the real way, and on the right stands the real martial artist." One of the purple-robed men said coldly.
Hearing that, everyone present was surging, and quickly divided into two groups according to the requirements of the purple-robed man. Among them, the warriors who had not advanced to the real way accounted for the majority, and the real warriors only looked like one or two thousand.
"Very well, the warriors who have not yet advanced to the true path follow me." Another man in purple robe nodded, falling to the ground, walking quickly towards the distance, a group of people who have not yet advanced to the true path. The warrior hurriedly followed.
Seven or eight thousand warriors who had not advanced to the real way left, and the crowded venue immediately became empty. More than a thousand people stared at the man in the purple robe remaining in the air, waiting for his instructions.
"Now that the others have left, the rest are martial artists who have cultivated to the true way. I believe that you can cultivate to the true way. They are all people who have the perseverance and daring to work hard. But even so, I still want to remind you of the true martial artist. The selection is different from the selection of warriors who have not yet advanced to the real way. Maybe it will kill people. Every time there will be hundreds of people die in the selection process, so if you regret it now, it is still too late. It's too late to regret the selection." The middle-aged man in the purple robe swept the crowd coldly.
For this situation, many people were mentally prepared before they came, but there are still many people whose faces have changed slightly. After thinking about it, some people who are not confident enough in their own strength or worry about their life safety finally retreat. , Of course, there are only less than a hundred of these people. Since most of them dare to come, they are already thinking of fighting hard.
"Very well, everyone who should go now has gone, so follow me." The middle-aged man in the purple robe nodded in satisfaction, his body turned into a streamer and flew towards the Jiuyang Mountain Range.
"It looks like the selection will be very interesting." Looking at the middle-aged man in purple robe flying in front, Ouyang Xu showed a smile on his mouth.
The purple-robed middle-aged man could not hide his aura, and his cultivation was stronger than the corpses. He was definitely a master of the Seventh Heaven, which made Ouyang Xu secretly amazed at the strength of the Five Elements Sect.
At the beginning, the flying speed of the middle-aged man in the purple robe was still fast, and everyone was able to keep up. However, as time passed, the middle-aged man in the purple robe was flying faster and faster, and some people who were not good at flying began to fly. Some struggled, and some people gradually distanced themselves from the large troops.
"What's the matter, why is he flying faster and faster? If this continues, we will not be able to keep up."
"Yeah, I have tried my best now, and it seems that his flying speed is still increasing, is it now in the selection stage?"
Some people in the crowd complained immediately. The middle-aged man in the purple robe was flying faster and faster, and more and more people diverged. Later, the shards of Zhendao warriors were left behind, and the distance increased. The farther and farther it was, it was no longer even visible.
Ouyang Xu, who is in the crowd, has always been unhurried and will neither appear prominent nor fall from the team.
The vast area of the Jiuyang Mountain Range, even if the warriors of the Seventh or Eighth Heavens want to cross, it takes seven or eight days. Therefore, even though everyone flies at full speed, they actually only entered the outskirts of the Jiuyang Mountain Range.
The middle-aged man in purple robes flying fast in front of him flew for an hour, and finally started to slow down, and finally landed in a valley, followed by Ouyang Xu and others hurriedly landed on the valley. Some people sat on the ground exhausted as soon as they landed, and they were exhausted after they had been squeezed out for an hour.
"Congratulations, you have passed the first test. As for those who didn't follow up, they have been unsuccessful." The middle-aged man in purple robe turned around and scanned the crowd with a calm expression.
Although I knew it in my mind, after hearing the words of the middle-aged man in the purple robe, everyone present still showed a touch of rejoicing, and some people were almost screened out in the first round.
Glancing at the people present, Ouyang Xu secretly sighed in his heart, but in the first round, nearly half of the people were screened, and the remaining number was only six or seven hundred.
"Now for the second screening, have you seen the stone ladder leading up to the top of the mountain? As long as you successfully pass the stone ladder to the top of the mountain, you will pass the second screening."
Hearing that, everyone looked at a stone staircase stretching into the clouds and mist in the far side of the valley, and there was a look of disapproval in their eyes.
As a true martial artist, this height is nothing, and it is only a matter of ten minutes to cross this stone ladder.
"I forgot to tell you that you can't fly when you pass this stone ladder. You can only walk up step by step. There are various formations and various monsters lurking on the stone ladder. Someone on the stone ladder is allowed to obstruct each other's fight. Remember that the first three people who passed the stone ladder will have the opportunity to enter the inner gate and become an inner disciple if they can pass the third test." The middle-aged man smiled a little evilly.
After hearing the words of the middle-aged man in the purple robe, most people didn't pay much attention to it. The only thing that made their hearts beat was the term inner disciple.
This time, the disciples recruited by the Five Elements Sect branch are only outer disciples. To enter the inner disciples, you need to go through layers of selection, and it will take three or four years at the fastest.
Regardless of the difference between the outer disciple and inner disciple, the treatment is very different. If you can enter the inner door immediately, it will undoubtedly be a step up to the sky for this contestant, which can lead others by a big chunk. .
"Okay, I have already said what I should say, and now the second test begins." A smile appeared on the corner of the purple robe middle-aged man's mouth, and his figure flew towards the top of the stone ladder.
"Charge!!" After a little stunned, six or seven hundred people rushed towards the stone ladder with a roar, looking like a group of black ants from above.
