Lingxiao City Central Square
At this moment, ten arenas were set up in the square, with a seat behind each arena, which was left for the judges. Behind the ten arenas, a high and spacious viewing platform was set up. This viewing platform is three times larger than the previous competition in various sub-competition areas.
Five hundred finalists who were about to become outer door disciples of Bi Xiang Men had all arrived on time, waiting under the stage for the arrival of Bi Xiang Men's cultivators.
Most people's faces were a bit anxious and uneasy at this time, but more excited. After today, they will officially become disciples of Bi Xiang Men. Entering Bi Xiang Men is the dream of many low-level cultivators.
Li Hui stood in the crowd, his face calm and unruffled, showing no signs of excitement or anxiety.
The monks who came to watch the grand ceremony filled the entire square, surrounding these five hundred people so tightly that water couldn't get through.
"Here!" someone shouted, and everyone immediately looked up towards the direction of Zhengbei Bixiao Gate.
Only a dozen or so black dots appeared on the horizon, then the black dots got closer and closer, slowly becoming clear, they were a fleet of cyan-colored airships! There were twenty in total!
These airships quickly approached, appearing above the stands, and the monks below soon discovered that these airships were different from those of yesterday, more than twice as large!
The flying boat landed gently on the platform, emitting a faint blue light. After the cultivator inside got out, each flying boat was tapped with a spell by a foundation-building cultivator, and then quickly shrunk to the size of a palm before being put away.
The monks who were riding the flying boat at this time, however, stood in several rows facing north, with their hands hanging down, as if waiting for the arrival of some great personage.
The monks under the platform gazed curiously at the northern sky, guessing that some big shots would arrive.
Actually, everyone had already guessed seven or eight tenths that it was a Golden Dan cultivator! Only a Golden Dan cultivator would make so many Foundation Building cultivators of the Azure Sky Sect wait with bated breath.
Half an hour later
Two bright spots seemed to appear on the horizon, then flashed and disappeared suddenly. Abruptly, two monks appeared standing in mid-air above the empty platform.
"The second (third) generation disciples of the Azure Sky Sect humbly welcome the two venerable masters!" Below, the foundation-building cultivators of the Azure Sky Sect who had been waiting for a long time, as well as the third-generation disciples in the Qi-refining stage standing behind them, all bowed their heads to pay respects to the two figures in mid-air.
One of them looked tall and majestic with a stern face, while the other looked young and refined - it was Murong Lie and Lin Yu.
"You're welcome!" Murong Lie said lightly, while Lin Yu smiled slightly at the corner of her mouth and didn't say a word.
"Thank you, two seniors!" The disciples of the Azure Sky Sect responded in unison, then divided into two rows and waited with their hands hanging down for the instructions of the two Golden Dan cultivators.
"Are these the new disciples that our sect has recruited this time?" Murong Lie's gaze swept casually over the five hundred cultivators standing at the front of the stage.
The five hundred monks standing in front of the platform immediately felt a kind of trembling from the depths of their souls, it was a feeling of facing the divine! In an instant, these five hundred monks even wanted to kneel down and worship on the ground! But they couldn't move at all, as if the air around them had turned into cages that trapped themselves tightly!
Not only the 500 monks, but also the surrounding monks who were a little closer felt the same way. Even the monks who were relatively far away felt short of breath, as if they had a thousand pounds on their backs!
Is this the power of a Golden Core cultivator? Li Hui struggled to resist this feeling, but found it all in vain. Facing a Golden Core cultivator was like an infant looking up at a giant.
And this is just the pressure brought by the gaze of a Golden Core cultivator! If a Golden Core cultivator were to truly unleash their pressure, I reckon these people would all be crawling on the ground!
Li Hui felt infinite reverence for Jin Dan Qi's cultivation, and at the same time, his heart yearned even more deeply!
"Lin Shidi, it's not as bad as we thought!" Murong Lie said at this time, withdrawing his gaze and turning to face Lin Yu beside him.
Lin Yu just smiled and did not comment either way.
"Alright, Zhao Liang, we'll leave this to you. Lin and I will head back to the sect and wait for your return." Mu Rong Lie said again, but this time his words were directed at the leading Qi Foundation cultivator among the disciples of Bi Xuan Gate.
The foundation repairman called Zhao Liang nodded his head in agreement.
Murong Lie and Lin Yu, however, were a wave of their sleeves, transformed into two rays of light, rushing to the sky, and instantly disappeared without a trace.
"See off the two elders!" Seeing the two about to leave, the disciples of Bi Xiang Men hurriedly clasped their hands in farewell. By the time they finished saying "see off", the two had already vanished from sight.
After a while, the cultivators of Bi Xiao Men finally straightened up, and couldn't help but let out a long sigh. Two Golden Dan stage cultivators were present, and even if they didn't release their pressure, that oppressive feeling was still omnipresent.
The monks under the platform were even more relieved.
Murong Lie and Lin Yu came here, just to show the importance of this opening mountain and recruiting disciples for the Bi Xiao Gate. At the same time, it is also a kind of showing off the strength of the sect.
Just look at the longing and adoration in the eyes of these monks below the platform, and you'll know that this goal has been achieved.
A group of Jieji monks took their seats on the platform, while a number of Lianqi period disciples either stood beside them or behind.
At this time, a lean and thin Bi Xiang Men's Qi refining period disciple stood out, facing the stage below to announce:
"This time, the Bi Xiang Gate opened its doors to recruit new disciples, with a total of 500 cultivators selected as outer door disciples. Among these 500 cultivators, another round of selection will be held to choose ten outstanding ones, who will then become inner door disciples."
The specific selection method for these ten inner disciples is as follows:
All 500 selected masters can sign up. If any of you feel that your strength is outstanding, you can sign up to participate in the competition for these ten places.
This time, the competition for the ten inner door disciples will be held in a arena format. All registered cultivators can choose an arena to defend. Others can challenge these ten people, and each successful defense allows for one minute of spiritual energy recovery. The sect will provide rapid spiritual energy recovery pills for each arena. The final ten people who successfully defend their arenas will be the ones selected as inner door disciples.
Three, the masters who go on stage to challenge can choose one of the arenas to challenge. If the challenge is unsuccessful, they will lose their qualification for further challenges. So please choose an arena to challenge based on your own strength.
Four, other rules of arena challenge refer to previous beginner matches. No intentional injury is allowed, and no talismans can be used.
If no one comes on stage to defend the drum within a minute in the first round, ten monks will be randomly selected by drawing lots to come on stage to defend the drum. If they refuse to execute the result of the draw, it is considered as giving up the qualification for selection and cannot continue to participate in the drum challenge. If no one challenges the defender within half an hour, it is also considered as a successful defense and enters the top ten.
"Please go to the registration desk on the left side of the viewing platform for registration."
After finishing, the Qi Refining stage disciple walked back to the viewing platform and reported to a Foundation Building cultivator sitting in the middle of the platform who was called Zhao Liang. Zhao Liang nodded slightly, and the Qi Refining stage disciple stood behind him.
Then, among the 500 monks under the stage, some people began to go to the registration office on the left side of the viewing platform to register.
About half an hour later, the registration ended. A total of 130 monks signed up to compete for the ten inner door disciples' quotas. Li Hui was one of them.
As the ten judges took their positions at their respective arenas, Zhao Liang stood up in the middle of the viewing platform and announced: "The Bi Xiang Men entrance selection arena competition is now officially underway."
Ten arenas are empty at this moment, with no one on stage. Although the vast majority of people feel that it is difficult to compete for these ten places with their own strength, there are still 130 people who have signed up in the end. If they go on stage now, each arena will face a dozen or so people's wheel war. Without mentioning the consumption of spiritual power in the body, the first person to go on stage is likely to expose his own strength prematurely, which is very unfavorable for guarding the arena.
Only those who truly have exceptional abilities can guard the championship successfully, and this is exactly what Bi Xiang Men wants.
The time of one incense stick is almost up, if no one still goes on stage to guard the drum, then ten monks will be randomly drawn to go on stage. Finally, a monk jumped onto one of the drums.
"Since no one is coming up, I'll take the lead!" A loud and clear voice came from upstairs.
Li Hui took a look and was also delighted to see that the first one on stage was Qin Gang, who had a louder voice. He had entered the top 500 and was now signing up for the top ten competition.
Inspired by Qin Gang, people also jumped onto the other nine platforms to guard them.
