To the east of Central China and to the south of the Arctic of Glaciers, there is a magnificent "Wuling Mountain" that is thousands of feet high. * The academy is close to the endless East China Sea, with beautiful scenery and pleasant climate. Although this mountain is not the highest, nor the most spectacular among the vast lands of China, it is definitely the most memorable.

"The spring mountains are as gentle as laughing, the summer mountains are green and dripping, the autumn mountains are as bright as makeup, and the winter mountains are as bleak as sleeping." This is the description of Wuling Mountain in "The Discussion on Mountains and Seas - Mountains and Seas". "The rivers are boiling, and the mountain tombs are broken. High valleys are shores, and deep valleys are tombs." This is the description of Wuling Mountain in the famous book "Yuyou". The scenery of Wuling Mountain can be seen from these Books of Songs.

Xu Qingfan longed for the scenery of Wuling Mountain from various books a long time ago, but he never got to see it.

During his trip down the mountain two years ago, he did not come here because of the tight time. However, this newcomer competition just allowed Xu Qingfan to fulfill his long-cherished wish.

In the mortal world, there is a legend that the top of Wuling Mountain is the residence of the legendary gods and immortals, and only the gods can live in such a magnificent and mysterious mountain. As long as someone can climb to the top of Wuling Mountain, he can be accepted as a disciple by the gods. Unfortunately, no mortal has been able to climb to the top of Wuling Mountain for millions of years, although the mountain of Wuling Mountain is not very steep.

For tens of thousands of years, there have been countless mortals in the world, each with extraordinary skills and strong bodies. They are ambitious and vowed to climb to the top of Wuling Mountain to see the whole picture of Wuling Mountain, or be accepted as disciples by gods and immortals. But without exception, they lost their way just after climbing to the hillside, and finally returned to the foot of the mountain inexplicably. Therefore, the fact that there are gods and immortals on Wuling Mountain is even more convinced by people in the world.

Thousands of years ago, a king of a powerful kingdom vowed to go to the top of Wuling Mountain to see the legendary gods with his own eyes, so he collected countless people from home to come to the foot of Wuling Mountain to cut the road for him. However, he did not expect that the rocks of Wuling Mountain were extremely hard. It took ten years of hard work and countless manpower and financial resources to open only dozens of miles of mountain roads. And because of the opening of the mountain road, the king's king's people lived in poverty and their national strength declined, and were eventually destroyed by neighboring countries. Since then, no one will mention opening up a mountain road for Wuling Mountain.

In fact, there are no immortal cultivators on the top of Wuling Mountain, but there are confinements and formations set up by immortal cultivating, so mortals naturally cannot step into it.

The top of Wuling Mountain is a basin-shaped flat land, covering an area of ​​about tens of tiles. Because it is a basin on the top of a mountain. Therefore, although it is a thousand feet above sea level, it is like spring all year round and the climate is mild, and it is not as cold as other mountain tops as the snow-covered and cold windy as it is in the slightest. This basin is called "Zhantai" by cultivating immortals.

In order to ensure fairness of the newcomer competition, the six major holy places set up the newcomer competition location in Zhantai, and are held every 60 years. The newcomer competition is claimed to be to urge the newcomers in the world of cultivation to make progress and deepen the feelings of various factions, but in fact, all factions hope to see the strength of other factions through the newcomer competition every 60 years.

Although Zhan Tai has been a newcomer competition since the establishment of the six holy places, the significance of Zhan Tai is far more than that in the world of immortal cultivation.

Tens of thousands of years ago, various powerful races stood together in the vast land of China, and humans were just the most inconspicuous and were under oppression. At that time, the powerful people of humans gathered in Zhan Taichung for the survival of human beings, discussing how to expel other races and make humans strong.

Ten thousand years ago, the cultivation of demons was rampant in the vast land of China. Immortals and mortals were killed and injured. The unbearable cultivation of immortals was also held in Zhantai, and he vowed to wipe out the cultivation of demons.

Four thousand years ago, the Demon Lord emerged, causing a catastrophe in the world of immortal cultivation. The six holy places joined forces with major sects to discuss countermeasures. The location was Zhan Tai.

Therefore, Zhan Tai is not only the venue for the competition for newcomers in the Immortal Cultivation World every 60 years. It is also the first place that comes to mind when the Immortal Cultivation World encounters a catastrophe. It is a fixed place for meetings held when major sects in the Immortal Cultivation World to discuss major events. In some ways, it is also a symbol of the Immortal Cultivation World. *Academy

It is precisely because Zhan Tai has such great significance that although Zhan Tai has sufficient spiritual energy and many alien beasts and spiritual herbs, no sect has ever dared to take Zhan Tai for himself by taking advantage of the world.

Thinking silently about various information about Wulingshan and Zhan Tai in his mind, Xu Qingfan couldn't wait to get a glimpse of their full picture.

Wuling Mountain is about 69,000 miles away from Jiuhua Mountain, but the white clouds that Xu Qingfan stepped on at this time were jointly exerted by several elders of Jiuhua Sect. Although he was carrying hundreds of Jiuhua disciples including Xu Qingfan, his distance was still far above Xu Qingfan's magic weapon "Wanli Cloud". Therefore, it took less than three days and the mountain scenery of Wuling Mountain had already appeared far in front of Xu Qingfan's eyes.

I saw countless large or small peaks standing on the eastern edge of the prosperous Middle Land, with the waves and waves stacked up. Among the peaks, a powerful and steep mountain stands tall and towering on the sky. The mountains are high and steep but still have a clear and beautiful appearance, which is unforgettable. It is the Wuling Mountain, a famous land of China.

Looking at the mountain scenery of Wuling from afar, when Xu Qingfan just sighed, "The ancients really did not deceive me", the mountain scenery in front of him was almost approaching, and in an instant, the white clouds under his feet had already carried everyone to the side of Wuling Mountain. Looking at Wuling Mountain close, the mountain was even more handsome. But before Xu Qingfan and others could observe carefully, the elders of Jiuhua Gate had already commanded the white clouds under their feet to rise to the top of the mountain quickly.

When the white clouds carried everyone up more than a hundred feet, the glow suddenly flashed on everyone's heads, and the fairy light shone. The white clouds surrounding Wuling Mountain slowly cracked a gap, allowing everyone in Jiuhua Mountain to continue rising.

As the ascendant, after this scene happened three times, the top of Wuling Mountain finally appeared in front of everyone in Jiuhua Mountain.

I saw that at the top of Wuling Mountain there was a basin covering dozens of tiles. The basin was filled with ancient trees, with many strange flowers and plants, and abundant spiritual energy, which seemed to be a paradise.

In the basin, a jade platform several meters tall stood in the southernmost part of the basin, with hundreds of powerful immortals sitting on it, either white, majestic, or Taoist immortals. However, no matter what the image is, it is filled with the spiritual light of both eyes, and although the fluctuations of spiritual energy on the body are hidden, they are extremely powerful. Obviously, they are the heads and elders of the major sects who come to participate in this newcomer competition.

Under the high platform, four or five thousand immortals stood quietly, compared with those on the high platform. These immortals were much younger and much less powerful, from the Lingji Period to the Qi Refining Period.

Looking at so many powerful immortal cultivators in front of him, Xu Qingfan couldn't help but sigh. Xu Qingfan had never seen so many immortal cultivators gather together before, not to mention that these immortal cultivators are not weak.

These immortal cultivation will be the elites in the immortal cultivation world in the next hundred years. Although they have different temperaments, they all contain strong confidence. Obviously, they are often proud of their talents and strength.

But among the four or five thousand young elites who cultivate immortals, how many of them can reach the Dan-building stage? Xu Qingfan suddenly thought.

I think four or five hundred years ago, Zhang Hualing, Zhou Huahai and others, as well as the elders on the platform, were probably standing quietly under the platform, waiting for the newcomer competition to begin? At that time, I thought they were surrounded by thousands of equally powerful brothers, but how many can they step into the Killing Pill Land now? Just look at the only two or three hundred masters in the Killing Pill stage on the platform.

Just as Xu Qingfan sighed, the white clouds under his feet did not stop and slowly floated towards the high platform. *Academic At the same time, hundreds of masters who had mastered pills on the high platform also stood up one after another, and Yuyun came to Jiuhua and the others.

"I'm ashamed. I think I'm the closest to Wuling Mountain. I didn't expect that I'll be here at the latest. I'm really sorry for all fellow Taoists." When I was approaching all the great masters of the Dan-stage who were coming, Zhang Hualing suddenly bowed and said with a smile.

"You are polite to Master Zhang. We have just arrived soon.

What's more, there is still more than a moment before the limited time. Master Zhang, you are not late, but we are early." A middle-aged man with a rich face first smiled and bowed his hand.

Along the way, Bao Qingfang, the number one expert in the Jiuhua Sect’s “Qing” generation, had already introduced the characteristics of the heads of various sects and relatively famous elders who were coming to participate in the newcomer competition to Xu Qingfan and others. Because when Xu Qingfan saw this person, he looked at him slightly and knew that he was Zeng Lianxian, the head of the “Five Elements Sect” among the six holy places.

There were seven people who first welcomed him. Among them, the thin old man with a bitter face and a barefoot shirt was Xuan Jianzun, the representative of the Kushui Valley; the old woman next to him was Li Tianying, the underground palace master of the "* Palace" among the six holy places; as for the bald old man with a gray robe and a complexion, he should be Qing Lingzi, the head of the "Qingxu Sect"; the old monk with a solemn face on the left was Master Xuhuan, the abbot of the "Chanyun Temple".

In addition to the heads of the six holy lands, two others also attracted Xu Qingfan's attention. One was extremely tall, with a torn dress and a bare chest, a scattered head, and a golden ring on his limbs. It should be the main hall of the Eight Desolate Hall" Man Tian; while the other white Taoist in the Bagua costume should be the head of the "* Sect".

The "Eight Desert Hall" and "* Gate" are second only to the six holy places in the world of cultivation, with great power and great popularity, and have always been snooping about the status of the holy land of Jiuhua Sect. In every newcomer competition, the results of these two sects are the closest to Jiuhua Sect, and they are even above Jiuhua Sect several times. Xu Qingfan often listens to Zhao Qingxuan that every time he meets disciples of these two sects, the words of these two disciples are often arrogant and rude, and obviously he does not take Jiuhua Sect seriously.

Among them, the "Eight Desolate Palace" poses a greater threat to Jiuhua Sect. It is said that the eight hall masters of the Eight Desolate Palace each have the late stage of the Golden Pill cultivation, with many disciples under their sects, and their Taoism is treacherous, and they are good at using physical skills and controlling demon insects and beasts. They are extremely powerful. Moreover, because the Eight Desolate Palace was established late, it did not occupy the Lingshan treasure land with sufficient spiritual energy in the vast land of China. In desolation, they could only find the eight remote places with the most abundant spiritual energy, and establish the halls and settle them. Because these Eight Desolate Palace are located in a remote place and the surrounding environment is deserted, they call themselves "Eight Desolate Palace".

But it is precisely because the spiritual energy of the Eight Desert Hall is relatively thin, and although this sect is unique in the cultivation world in terms of physical skills and the control of demon insects and beasts, its overall skills are not as mysterious and profound as the six holy places. In addition, the establishment time is short, so the sect reserves are less, so it is the most snooping to see Jiuhua Mountain, which has abundant spiritual energy, thousands of years of sect savings, and the mysterious skills and methods inside the sect.

At this time, Xu Qingfan looked at the main hall of the "Eight Desolate Palace" Man Tian, ​​with a simple face. He looked at Zhang Hualing and nodded and smiled with a kind look, and there seemed to be no malice. However, Xu Qingfan also knew that anyone who could cultivate to the Golden Pill stage was a person with extremely talented and intelligent, and the same was true for this Man Tian. His true personality could never be as honest as his appearance. It was as if his view of Jiuhua Sect would not be as friendly as his expression.

Compared with the "Eight Desert Halls", although the threat to Jiuhua Mountain is smaller, it is definitely not easy to deal with. The "* Gate" sect was not under the six holy places for a long time. It is good at formations, spells and sealing techniques. Moreover, the skills of this sect are even more mysterious and can easily activate the power of wind, rain, thunder and lightning between heaven and earth. Because the low-level disciples of this sect travel around the mortal world for many years, occasionally exorcising demons and demons for mortals and spreading rain, they are extremely famous in the mortal world, and probably half of the various legends of the gods and immortals in the mortal world were created by this sect.

It is precisely because this sect has a very high reputation in the world that countless talented people in the world worship under the "* Sect", so the cultivation of immortals in the * Sect is also the highest among the major sects in the world of immortal cultivation. The reason why the "* Sect" has such strength is not one of the six holy places or has become the seventh holy place, but because the cultivation of immortals in this sect has some flaws, which makes the disciples of this sect's disciples extremely slow to reach the level of elixir stage. Therefore, there are only four or five masters in the Golden Elixir stage, and there are not even one master in the Mahayana stage.

Therefore, although the ambition of "* Gate" to annex Jiuhua Sect is not as strong as the "Bahuang Palace", if they are given the opportunity to obtain various mysterious techniques of Jiuhua Sect and verify them with their own techniques, they must have never missed it. What's more, the sects of * Sect have always been quite paranoid about the title of "holy land", so Jiuhua Sect never dares to take this sect lightly.

At this time, the head of the * sect, Taoist Jiuze, had a calm expression, no joy or worry in his eyes, and no emotion fluctuations. He just nodded slightly to Zhang Hualing, making people unable to see what he was thinking.

In addition, Xu Qing

Among the many great masters of the Dan-King Stage who were welcomed, they saw Bao Wei, Xuan Xian, Xuan Xiu and others, obviously also saw Xu Qingfan. They all nodded slightly to each other.

When Zhang Hualing and Zhou Huahai and others greeted the heads and elders of various sects who were welcomed, dozens of white clouds were divided into pieces, and the emperor carried the elders of Jiuhua Sect and the heads and elders of other sects to fly towards the white jade platform. The huge white clouds under Xu Qingfan and others carried everyone slowly flew towards the direction where thousands of disciples of various sects were standing under the jade platform.

After coming to the Baiyu Platform, the big white clouds slowly landed on the ground with everyone, and then disappeared into nothingness. After Xu Qingfan felt down to earth, his mood couldn't help but tighten because he knew that he would soon represent Jiuhua Sect to participate in the newcomer competition among major sects.

Along the way, Xu Qingfan also had many conversations with the other four disciples participating in the Newcomer Competition. Jin Qinghan was Xu Qingfan's close friend for many years, and both Lu Qingshang and Wang Qingjun were very kind to Xu Qingfan. Although Lu Qingshang's expression was somewhat disappointed, Wang Qingjun was still as naughty as ever. As for Feng Qingtian, he was as arrogant as ever. Every time Xu Qingfan said two or three sentences to him, he would reply to the previous sentence. But no matter what, the situation that Xu Qingfan was worried about was not convinced did not happen.

But because of this, Xu Qingfan was under greater pressure in this newcomer competition, because he knew that if Jiuhua Sect still had no good results this time under his leadership, he had no reason to find him.

After landing, Xu Qingfan looked at the platform first, and now that Zhang Hualing and others in Jiuhua Sect had already sat down. Among them, Zhang Hualing sat on the six chairs slightly larger in the front, and the heads of the other five holy lands were sitting with him. Obviously, the six in front were set up for the heads of the six holy lands.

After these six seats, there were more than twenty smaller roles. Man Tian and Jiuze Taoist were all seated among them. In addition, there were more than twenty immortal cultivators with different temperaments, which were obviously set up for the heads of other sects except for the six holy places.

The other Jiuhua Sect elders, including Zhou Huahai, sat in the last seat, with two or three hundred people sitting with them, obviously they were all elders from major sects.

Just as Xu Qingfan was looking at the masters of the Dan stage on the high platform, he suddenly felt a dozen sharp gazes looking at him, most of whom were provocative, and he couldn't help but frowned slightly, but he knew that this was not the time to show weakness, so he also looked back calmly.

After looking at those who looked at themselves with their eyes, Xu Qingfan found that these people had at least the late stage of fasting, and most of them had the cultivation level of the Lingji stage. Each of them looked proud, and they were probably the best among the low-level disciples of major sects.

The biggest common point of these people is that they all carry three purple marks on their robes without exception. They are obviously leaders of the disciples of various sects participating in the newcomer competition.

Looking at the three slender but conspicuous purple marks on his robe, Xu Qingfan couldn't help but smile bitterly. Obviously, these people regarded him as strong enemies.

Among these leaders of various factions who participated in the newcomer competition, several of them attracted Xu Qingfan's attention.

First, he was a middle-aged man with a vicissitudes of face and kind eyes. He was the only few of the eyes that looked at him without provocation. Aside him, Xu Qingfan also appeared as disciples of the Qingxu Sect such as Lu Ziqing, Shang Nian, and Xu Xiurong, who were obviously the leaders of the Qingxu Sect participating in the newcomer competition this time. What surprised Xu Qingfan was that the strength of the Lu Ziqing monk Nian Yao was not the leader of the Qingxu Sect participating in the newcomer competition this time, and the strength of the Qingxu Sect can be seen.

Seeing that he met an acquaintance, Xu Qingfan smiled and nodded to Lu Ziqing and others. The monk Lu Ziqing Nian Yao also nodded to Xu Qingfan for response. Xu Xiurong couldn't help but turn her cheeks slightly red when she saw Xu Qingfan's eyes and she lowered her head.

Seeing Xu Xiurong's performance, Xu Qingfan couldn't help but smile. Unexpectedly, after nearly three years, Xu Xiurong was still so easily shy.

But the other people attracted Xu Qingfan's attention even more.

First, a young man in Taoist robe had a proud face and had a mid-stage spiritual sacred cultivation. More than a dozen immortal cultivators wearing Taoist robes surrounded him like the moon. It was obvious that he was the monk who came to participate in this newcomer competition this time.

Then there was a girl in white with a cold expression. She was looking at herself coldly, without any concern about the gaze she looked back. Although she looked ordinary, she had a self-admiring temperament. And she was surrounded by women, obviously a disciple of the "* Palace".

In addition, there are five middle-aged people with very similar appearances, wearing five colors of gold, red, blue, yellow and blue, respectively, representing the five elements of the world, and obviously being disciples of the Five Elements Sect. However, these five people looked so similar that Xu Qingfan wondered if they were brothers.

But what attracted Xu Qingfan's attention was a man with a childish figure and appearance. However, this person's eyes were indifferent to his appearance, his face looked a little dirty, his clothes were worn, and his limbs were wearing golden rings. He should be a disciple of the "Bahuang Palace", and he was standing among the crowd of the "Bahuang Palace" at this time. But what is strange is that the disciples of the "Bahuang Palace" were all far away from him, and seemed to be very afraid of the person who looked like a child. Xu Qingfan also felt a sense of threat that was stronger than Feng Qingtian from this child.

"Dong~~~"

Just as Xu Qingfan looked at each other with the leaders of the disciples of various sects participating in the new competition, a clear and far-reaching bell suddenly rang out. Amid the bells, Xuan Jian of the Kushuigu stood up from his seat and slowly floated into the air.

Because of the special nature of the sect of Asceticism Valley, even the sect with the lowest cultivation level is a casual cultivator who has been famous in the world of immortal cultivation for many years. Compared with other sects who have been in the sect for less than a hundred years, the strength is much stronger. Therefore, Asceticism Valley has never sent its sects to participate in the newcomer competition, but generally exists as a referee.
