211 A world of rivalry is self-defeating
In Qin Zunyang's era, the Jade Palace was not a big sect at all, and there were only less than a hundred disciples. At that time, the monks were all condensing pills and consuming them by themselves. Qin Zunyang didn't care about the number of disciples at all, but would rather lack than abuse.
At that time, there were about seven or eight people who entered the battle of the Zisheng Monument every year, and after going through danger, only five people could come out alive in the end, and officially became a military courtyard of the Jade Palace. Therefore, the risk of life in this battle is quite high.
In Qin Zunyang's eyes, the path of cultivation was originally to go against the sky, and to die for a lifetime. Those who dare not enter the self-living monument to fight to the death are not qualified to embark on the path at all.
Therefore, he left an ancestral teaching, and those who did not experience the battle of the self-born monument were not allowed to become disciples of the Jade Palace.
However, in the past five hundred years, the immortal trees of the Jade Palace have continued to gather spiritual opportunities, and they have created this piece of feng shui treasure land full of spiritual energy on the shore of the East China Sea. The Jade Palace has gradually become the same as those 10,000-year-old sects: using a large number of low-level disciples to condense the pill and supply the cultivation consumption of the upper-level masters. The powerful masters in the sect no longer have to spend Shouyuan's mental energy to exhale the spiritual machine by himself, and extract the spirit as the truth, but concentrate on studying the cultivation method and finding the way to immortality.
This required a large number of disciples, which led to the number of people who had to enter the Battle of the Self-Born Monument according to the ancestral teachings to more than a thousand. But there are only five people who can come out alive, and it is really nine dead and lifeless, and no one dares to enter. Even if the disciples dared to go in and fight, the sect would not want to let so many people die.
So the upper echelons of the Jade Palace racked their brains, changed some of the rules, and equipped each disciple with an escape Jane.
The Escape Jane is a jade slip with a spiritual power, one for each person, which is branded with a wisp of soul breath of oneself, connected to the divine will. No matter how injured anyone is, as long as there is still a breath left, a thought in his mind will be teleported to the Rejuvenation Courtyard in an instant.
With the rejuvenation elder Mu Xuanjia's Tongtian medical skills, as long as he is not headless, or has been hit by some incurable miracle poison or thaumaturgy, he can generally be saved, and at worst, he is bedridden for several years and cannot cultivate, or he is disabled.
Now that there is this escape Jane, the risk of the battle of the Self-Born Monument has been greatly reduced. The most unfortunate disciple can immediately activate the escape slip as soon as he enters the self-born monument. In this way, it can still be regarded as participating in the battle of the self-born monument, which does not violate Qin Zunyang's ancestral teachings.
However, the soul breath stored in the Escape Jane will not escape with it, but will automatically transfer to the nearest disciple's Escape Jane and become someone else's hunt.
At the moment when any disciple flees for his life, the amount of soul breath in the escape slip determines the reward he can get, and the reward that each wisp of soul breath can obtain is a pure yang pill.
This way, the sooner you quit, the less rewards you get. The later you quit, the more pure yang pills you may obtain. And as long as you keep hunting opponents, you can keep collecting soul breath. There are a total of five people in a Wu Yuan, and even if they have to quit when they are defeated in battle, as long as the five people withdraw one after another, and the soul breath in the escape Jane is transferred between the five people, they can easily expand the results of the battle by five times.
Although this battle is risky, it is still a good opportunity to make a big profit. Many Wu Yuan, who were troubled by the Pure Yang Pill, had already set their sights on the Zisheng Monument. As long as they can hunt some more rookies of the same level in the self-born monument, they will be able to harvest the Pure Yang Pill in a big way.
Of course, not many people think about saving until the end. Most of the people's eyes were staring at Tang Su, the handsome young man with the jade tree in the wind standing in the front row under Huo Yun in front of the Zisheng Monument.
Tang Su's strength far surpasses that of his peers. And his skills with the four junior brothers and sisters of the Wuyuan are not simple. He is the man who is destined to win the first place in the battle of the Monument of Self-Birth and obtain the inheritance of "Aoki Changshenggong", and may even become a strong candidate for the head of the sect in the future.
In addition to the admiring eyes of the senior brothers and sisters, what was cast on him was the crazy admiration of those flower-like senior sisters and sisters. Among them, there was a petite woman with a particularly eager gaze, and she stood on tiptoe for a long time before she saw the back of the poplar tree in front of the crowd. At this moment, the snow-white scarf on the back of the man's head floated, and he turned around. A sharp gaze came straight at her, as if to see her through.
Her cheeks were crimson, and she immediately lowered her head, sinking into the sea of eight people, clutching her light blue skirt with both hands, and her chest was jumping non-stop. Could it be that he was looking back at himself?
This woman is a simple witch. Her qualifications are quite average, and like most first-level Wu Academy disciples, she just stays at the foundation building. But if you can find a Taoist companion like Tang Su, then ...... She was so confused that she didn't dare to think about it.
Tang Su turned around, of course, not to see her, but to find the strange existence that disgusted him so much that he almost ruined his future, but was actually at the same level as him, that is, the hook of the thief's head and rat.
I really don't know how such a person got into a Xuanmen sect like Jade Palace. The key is that after entering the sect, this person did not change his life, and even became more and more unscrupulous. Stealing, killing, and doing all kinds of evil.
Tang Su had recently heard that Gou Zhu had stolen the aura and vitality condensation pill in the Dragon Skeleton Valley, causing the entire Skeleton Valley to become a Death Valley. After the East Window incident, he actually set fire to the Dragon Skeleton Valley again. It is said that the original envoy of the torture hall has captured him, but I don't know why the acting guard Lian Ping accepted him as a registered disciple, and once again let him escape the punishment of the torture hall.
"Woman," Tang Su thought of Lian Ping, "No matter what realm you cultivate, is it so easy to be deceived?" he couldn't help but clench his fists. He had wanted to find hard evidence to bring Gou to justice, but now he didn't think that way anymore. There is no law in the self-born monument, but his heart is still there. What has been distorted in this world, he will be straightened again in this battle of the self-born monument. He would never give Gou Zhu a chance to escape with his life.
When he turned around, all he saw was a sea of people in white robes, and the infatuated and eager eyes of countless junior sisters, but he couldn't find Gou Zhu.
Could it be that this kid is actually hiding? But with Zu Xun here, he doesn't dare not come.
At this time, Huo Yun had already finished explaining the lengthy rules. A clear bell rang from Jade Peak, and the hour had come.
A black light shot out from the tall self-born monument like a sharp edge, and suddenly everyone only felt that the edge was in their eyes, and they had to close their eyes.
When I opened it again, the self-born monument was still in front of me, but the heaven and earth had changed color.
Originally, Lian Ping really didn't plan to let Gou Zhu participate in the battle of the Self-Born Monument. After all, Gou Zhu has clues to her sister's whereabouts. Once it falls into the hands of Ghost Xuanyin and others, the consequences are unimaginable. As for whether someone would expel him from the division on the basis of ancestral teaching, Lian Ping didn't care at all. The soldiers will stop the water and flood the earth, and then we will talk about it.
But now in the battle of the Self-Born Monument, to protect the Cloud King, she had to take action in person. After all, she is the Void Pill Seven Colors Perfection. Only monks below the Purple Mansion are allowed to enter. Therefore, it is most reliable for her to enter in person to protect the Cloud King.
Not only does she have to protect King Yun, but she also has to watch Gou Zhu, so the simple way that her simple brain can think of is to simply let Gou Zhu Wu Yuan also participate in the battle of the Self-Born Monument.
Gou Zhu stood with Song Ruhai, Mu Tou, Murong Qing, Huang Lu, and the nineteenth among more than a thousand first-class Wuyuan disciples. Except for some female disciples who were dressed differently, most of them were dressed in white outer door robes, and it was very inconspicuous for Gou Zhu to stand in them, and no one noticed his presence.
The Heavenly Judgment Seal on his hand is still there, but it has been modified by Lian Ping. As for what it changed, he didn't know, anyway, it didn't hurt now.
After the world changed, everyone disappeared, but Wuyuan himself was still in one place.
When Gou Zhu looked up, the sky turned blood-red. A particularly vivid red sun, emitting a bright red light, like a lantern-like red giant eye, looking down on the whole world.
Is this a warning given by Qin Zunyang? Heaven and earth are like blood, this is not a lush jade palace, but a real fierce place for life and death tests.
The only thing that still exists in the scenery is the self-generated monument, which is still black, but it seems more huge, I don't know whether it is thousands of feet high or ten thousand feet, it simply occupies one-third of the sky. It's so huge, but you can't see where its heels are, and you can't even tell whether this monument is real or illusory.
"There's a word on that tablet!" everyone noticed, but only the wood shouted, "The word is still changing!"
The words were white and quite bright, visible on the black monument for everyone to read. It was a list, a leaderboard, and everybody's name was on it, followed by a number. At first glance, the number after each person's name is zero. But immediately afterward, the numbers changed. The number behind a person's name is increasing, and his name immediately rises to the top of the leaderboard.
This name is none other than Tang Su.
