Chapter 77: Is It Really That Person?
"Less than one-fifth... as expected."
Li Qingyang got up from the recliner and looked at the center of the square.
Most of those who came here were Disciples from the Sword Sect or other Immortal Sects; there weren't many local cultivators from Xuanjian City.
This was normal. Although most cultivators weren't as overly cautious as those from the Supreme Dao Sect, they would still subconsciously play it safe.
Buzz~
The Mystic Realm in the sky suddenly trembled, and a circle of visible ripples spread out, extending for hundreds, even thousands, of miles in an instant.
The airspace near the Mystic Realm was already restricted from flying, but it was still possible to fly as usual in more distant areas.
Some cultivators flying high in the sky were startled when they saw the tsunami-like ripples surging towards them. They wanted to dodge, but it was too late, and they were directly swept into it.
Screams were incessant.
However, the expected upheaval did not occur. They only felt a gentle breeze on their faces, and the terrifying ripples had already surged towards the distance.
...
Some cultivators who had just screamed particularly loudly looked embarrassed.
Seriously, if there's no danger, why make it so terrifying!
"Zhang Yunlu, local cultivator, Qi Refining Ninth Layer"
A gentle voice seemed to come from an extremely distant place, neither heavy nor light, yet it clearly echoed in everyone's ears.
Immediately, a beam of light suddenly projected down from above the Mystic Realm, landing somewhere in Xuanjian City, and disappeared in an instant.
Clearly, the trial participant had been sent into the Mystic Realm.
'Whose voice is this?' Li Qingyang looked at the Mystic Realm.
This voice didn't sound like the Shishu or Martial Uncle he knew; instead, it was a bit like...
Hiss~
Li Qingyang shivered, seemingly having thought of something extremely unpleasant.
Unlike Li Qingyang, others were curious about who the first person to enter the Mystic Realm was.
Qi Refining Ninth Layer?
There were actually Qi Refining stage cultivators who passed the second round of trials?!
Most people didn't know who this Zhang Yunlu was.
But the students of Xuanjian City Third Middle School, as well as those who watched the combat test that day, were different.
In the corridors inside and outside the classrooms, Fang Chi looked up at the sky, his expression very complex.
Yu Ming, whose Foundation had been restored, was also stunned for a while when he heard Zhang Yunlu's name called first.
That little girl who had just obtained the Cailian Method from him not long ago, actually succeeded in passing the second round as well?
That gentle voice did not stop because of everyone's shock.
"Lin Qiuxian, Sword Sect cultivator, Nascent Soul mid-stage"
"Feng Yuan, Sword Sect cultivator, Nascent Soul mid-stage"
"Yu Ming, local cultivator, Nascent Soul perfected"
...
One by one, names, affiliated forces, and their Realms were announced by that gentle voice, echoing throughout Xuanjian City.
Lights continuously descended, and soon people in the square also disappeared under their illumination.
Can't understand.
Li Qingyang felt quite helpless.
He completely couldn't understand this method of teleportation.
Could this really be that person!
Knowing that person was here, you still specifically called your Disciple back from a distant starfield?
Master, do you have other Disciples outside!
"Xiao Fan, local cultivator, Qi Refining Ninth Layer"
"Xiao Ming, Dragon Elephant Soaring Sky Sect cultivator, Golden Core perfected"
Another Qi Refining Ninth Layer?
This was the first one other than that Zhang Yunlu. Seriously, are the young generation cultivators in Xuanjian City this impressive this year?
In the square, some Immortal Sect Disciples who hadn't been sent into the Mystic Realm yet had complex expressions.
However, some people who knew Xiao Fan noticed something was wrong.
Didn't Xiao Fan already drink the Broken Barrier Spirit Liquid and advance to Pseudo Foundation Establishment? How did he become Qi Refining Ninth Layer again now?
Emm...
It probably wasn't the Xiao Fan I knew.
...
...
In the bedroom, Xiao Fan held a sword in his hand, looking out the window. The light of reception was already coming towards him.
"So, this trial, it really is Senior Huo..."
Others had never seen Senior Huo, but how could he not recognize Senior Huo's voice?
He couldn't help but recall the hazy vision from last night, those eyes like glazed glass, shimmering with seven-colored light.
'From antiquity, my Dao has existed...'
So, does he have to defeat everyone within the Mystic Realm to truly gain recognition?
As his thoughts turned, the light of reception had already projected onto him, illuminating the entire bedroom brightly.
His vision was gradually covered by a layer of white light, causing him to close his eyes.
The next moment, the light disappeared, and along with it, Xiao Fan also vanished.
Not long after he disappeared.
Click!
There was a sound from the bedroom door, and then it was opened.
The people who came were none other than Father Xiao and Mother Xiao. The two of them looked at the empty bedroom, speechless for a long time.
...
Inside the villa, Chi Jiuyu was curiously sizing up the person sitting opposite Shishu.
From his appearance, he was just a somewhat gentle kind old man, nothing special.
But Chi Jiuyu didn't dare to underestimate him.
She had heard with her own ears that this person called Shishu 'Dao Brother', clearly an expert of the same generation as Shishu!
Moreover, the voices continuously echoing outside at this moment were also this person's doing.
Emm...
Chi Jiuyu remembered the chat history she had secretly restored before.
This person, could he be the 'huo' that Master mentioned?
Hmm!
Very likely.
She glanced out the window again; the voice was still echoing continuously.
Speaking of which, there are a full five hundred people. Won't he get a dry mouth if he keeps reading like this?
"Shishu, won't this Senior get a dry mouth if he keeps reading like this?" Chi Jiuyu asked directly.
She always asked questions when she had them.
Huo couldn't help but pause when he heard her ask this.
Why is your thought process so bizarre?
Xu Xing glanced at her: "He won't."
"Then why announce their names and cultivation Realms one by one?"
"Dao Brother is planning such a grand event, so naturally, I must give the trial participants an opportunity to display their power before others."
The gentle voice echoed in her ear, but the voice in the sky outside did not stop.
Oh!
Chi Jiuyu paused, then gave a thumbs-up, fully agreeing with Huo's statement: "Senior, that's a great idea!"
If cultivating isn't about showing off, then what's the point!
Chi Jiuyu ran to pour two cups of water. One for Xu Xing, and the other she placed in front of Huo.
Huo: "..."
This Disciple of Sword Revered is really interesting.
If not for the fact that neither Sword Revered nor Dao Brother would allow it, he would really want to give her a stroke of good fortune.
As soon as she sat down, she asked again: "Right, Shishu, what's the Mystic Realm like now?"
"Who do you want to see?" Xu Xing said directly.
"Hehe! Of course, it's Xiao Yunlu."
Xu Xing raised his hand and pointed. Just like they had seen before, a light screen rose and hung in mid-air.
The light screen revealed the scene of the entire Mystic Realm.
Towering dangerous peaks, sheer cliff faces like they were carved by a knife, a massive canyon running through the entire Mystic Realm, and the red lightning that occasionally streaked across the sky.
Hmm?!
Chi Jiuyu widened her eyes.
Is this still the same Mystic Realm I entered before?
Soon, the scene on the light screen continuously zoomed in, finally stopping on a winding and treacherous mountain path.
Zhang Yunlu held her sword in one hand, ready for battle.
Opposite her were three ferocious and strange creatures. Their arms were like sharp swords, and they had peculiar purple patterns.
The fight is about to begin!
