"Because the so-called Tianyuan Trial is not just a contest between you, but also a contest between us leaders, and it is also a competition for the sect's background."
"What do you mean?"
"Leading the captain is always cultivated in the Soul Condensation Realm or in the Immortal Realm. This is the competition of the sect's background. Of course, it also includes other deeper contests and considerations. For example... some sects deliberately Showing weakness in this aspect of the background, let other sects who regard it as their opponents miscalculate their strength, and lose in the subsequent martial arts competitions."
"All sects will fight?"
"Oh, it's also a famous hall created by Wanshilou. It is probably to determine the ranking positions of 36 Shangzong and 72 Shangzong." Tang Shiyun simply mentioned, "You don't need to worry about this, anyway, it has nothing to do with us in Taiyigu."
"Okay." Su Anran nodded.
"In addition to the competition background, covering for one's own disciples is also a manifestation of the strength of the leader." Tang Shiyun continued, "After all, it is a large-scale spiritual sense, so there is still more room for manipulation. With just a little proper guidance, it is easy for the opponent to misassess the strength of the disciples under the sect, so there will be great uncertainty in intelligence... For example, if I cover up and distort your aura , then when others see your new No. [-] title and cannot accurately judge your strength, most people will choose a more conservative approach, that is, not to challenge you."
"Thank you Third Senior Sister!"
"Thank me for what?" Tang Shiyun looked puzzled.
"Huh?" Su Anran was stunned, "Don't you, Third Senior Sister, cover up and distort my aura for me so that other people will not challenge me?"
"Who said that?"
"Third Senior Sister, you just now..."
"I'm just making an analogy." Tang Shiyun said with a face of course, "I did distort the perception of your breath on other people, but it didn't make you stronger, but cut it in half... ...Master once said that for things like bargaining, it is right to cut in half."
Su Anran blinked: "Wait, Third Senior Sister, what do you mean... I ranked first in the new list in Wanshilou, and then I couldn't stand this position, and then you put me in other people's gods?" At least half of the perception of breath has been weakened?"
"That's right, that's right."
"Then I...wouldn't I have many opponents?"
"Actually, there are not many. As long as you show no mercy to those challengers, after killing a few of them, the people behind will be more cautious." Tang Shiyun said lightly, "When we went to participate in the Tianyuan trial, Master They all do this... this is our teacher's tradition."
What a goddamn teacher's tradition!
This isn't the Taiyi Valley, is it the Valley of Deceitful People?
It's just that the upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked!
Huang Zi, your sea of dead flames is gone!
Su Anran: "Senior sister, I have a sentence, I don't know if I should say it or not?"
"speak!"
"Forget it, don't talk about it." Su Anran was afraid that after saying that sentence, he would be hung up and beaten by his senior sister without waiting for others to challenge him.
"Everyone is from the same school, so what are you embarrassed to say?"
"Senior sister, you just said that this is the tradition of the teacher's school. Didn't the previous senior sisters take the first place in the new list when they participated in the Tianyuan trial?"
Tang Shiyun looked at Su Anran with a particularly resentful gaze.
"Sister?"
"In my class, I went to participate with the second senior sister."
"..."
"Later, in the three rankings of heaven, earth and people, I was basically bound to the second senior sister to be on the list together."
"……sorry."
Chapter 003
When Su Anran and Tang Shiyun returned to Taiyi Valley, it had been more than 20 days.
The Tianyuan competition in Wanshilou has long since ended, and even the new list has already been passed on to all sects and sects.
So when Xu Xinhui saw Su Anran, she couldn't help showing a very proud look on her face: "No. [-] on the new list! What a good little brother!"
Su Anran was speechless.
Seventh senior sister, you have never participated in the Tianyuan trial, so you don't understand the unspoken rules of the Valley of Deception, right?
"Yeah, it's really great, Seventh Senior Sister." Su Anran said weakly.
He suddenly felt that he shouldn't dream of becoming some kind of sword fairy at the beginning. Doesn't it seem pretty good to be in charge of logistics like the elder sister and the others?
How leisurely these days are.
Why was it so hard for me to think about it at the beginning?
"Junior brother is back?" Fang Qianwen seems to have just finished her work, and there are still mud marks on her body from those spiritual plants in Hougu—although she is curious, how did the senior sister manage to make her whole body look like she fell into a mud pit, but her face But still keep it clean?
For some reason, Su Anran suddenly thought of the word "lotus".
Not to mention, it's a good match with the elder sister.
"Lao Qi showed me the Jade Slip of Everything, congratulations, junior, you are number one in the new list." The elder sister smiled, "Work hard, and then you will win the first place in the earth list and the first place in the sky list."
Well, another descendant of Taiyi who has not been deceived by Gu Shimen's tradition.
"What about the list of people? Is it not important?" Su Anran asked curiously, "Why don't I seem to see you mention the list of people?"
"That list is useless. It changes every two years. It's just a transition." Tang Shiyun said lightly, "That is a supplement to the new list. A relatively clear concept."
"Every two years?" Su Anran was taken aback, "I seem to have heard of it before, why is it every two years?"
"The Yunling Realm is different from other realms. The purpose of this realm is to build a spiritual altar in the sea of gods, in order to keep the altar clear." It was a rare opportunity for Xu Xinhui to be a good teacher. Of course, she refused to let her speak first, "but The cultivation method of Yunling Realm is different from other realms... Once you open your mind, build the bridge between heaven and earth, and start absorbing spiritual energy by yourself, you will start to build a altar-like altar in your divine sea."
"Build it yourself?" Su Anran keenly grasped some words.
"Yes." Xu Xinhui nodded, "It depends on the resonance of the internal and external world when you open your brows and heart. The stronger the resonance, the more consistent the communication and coordination between the internal and external world, and the faster the construction time of your spiritual platform will be. In the end, the number of layers of the spiritual platform built will be higher. On the contrary, it will be slower and lower."
"What does that have to do with two years?"
"Because in two years, you will start to overcome the first thunder disaster."
"What!?" Su Anran was a little confused, "Thunder Jie?"
"Oh, this is a single thunder calamity, also known as a small thunder calamity, you only need to cross it once." Xu Xinhui said, "When you cross the thunder calamity, how many floors does your spirit altar have, and how many floors will the altar be after you pass the thunder calamity. The only thing that can advance Lei Jie is that you can build a nine-story spirit platform within two years."
"The number of floors of the Lingtai... is there any difference?"
"Of course I have." Xu Xinhui said with a serious face, which is a rare expression for her, "Only the sixth floor of the Lingtai can hope to step into the realm of life, and the ninth floor can hope to enter the realm of soul... So build the The number of floors of the Lingtai is really related to the future cultivation realm of a monk, and no one dares to be careless."
"Then if those monks who can't build a six-story altar, don't they have no hope of life?"
"That's for sure." Tang Shiyun couldn't stand Xu Xinhui's long-winded words, and said bluntly, "However, some monks with great perseverance or some special circumstances will still destroy their realm in order to pursue perfection."
"Self-destruction realm?"
"It's self-destruction of the Lingtai, and the bridge connecting the inner and outer worlds will also be broken." Tang Shiyun said, "There is a saying in the monastic world called 'Xuanguan Wugui', the so-called Xuanguan refers to the eyebrows. If you open it, or if you open it for other reasons, you can basically determine the level of your Spiritual Accumulation Realm... so if you want to repent, then you must close the brow hole again."
Su Anran knew that since Third Senior Sister said so, it must be very dangerous.
as predicted.
"In this way, a narrow escape is certain. After all, whether it's the brow opening or the spiritual platform, they are all built in your divine sea and are closely related to your soul." Tang Shiyun said, "So this kind of self-destruction of the realm, It is an inevitable result to cause turmoil in Shenhai. However, it is different from the situation of being knocked down by others, at least the self-destruction realm is dominated by yourself, and there is a high degree of controllability, so there is still a relatively high chance of survival."
"It's more than that dangerous."
"Of course not more." Xu Xinhui jumped out to answer again, "The second time to rebuild the Lingtai, the time is shortened to one year, and you have to go through three thunder disasters. For the third time, it only takes half a year, and the thunder disaster becomes one year." Nine levels... You know, even if you step into the realm of your own life, the thunder tribulation you have to experience is only the third level, the ninth level, and the last three nines. But when you rebuild the Lingtai, you have already passed through these thunder tribulations, it is considered a fluke If you can pass it, the difficulty of the thunder tribulation in the natal realm will also increase accordingly, so..."
"The vast majority of those who rebuild the Lingtai for the second time, most of them fell into the last realm of the natal realm, and only a very small number of people can successfully step into the realm of the soul." Tang Shiyun said in a deep voice, "As for the third Almost all those who recast the Lingtai have fallen to the first realm of the natal realm... This is why there is a saying of "no regrets at the entrance", because you really have no way to repent, once you repent, you have to pay The cost is even greater.”
"I understand." Su Anran nodded seriously, "Thank you for your guidance, I won't rush for quick success."
Tang Shiyun nodded, quite satisfied with Su Anran's attitude.
The reason why she made it so clear to Su Anran was naturally to let Su Anran understand the importance of the words "no regrets at the entrance", and she didn't want him to be eager for quick success because of Qingyu's matter, which would cause the entrance to be unsatisfactory and completely blocked paved the way for his future cultivation.
"The speed of opening eyebrows and heart openings varies from person to person. No one can tell the exact result. Some people are slow, and some people are fast." Tang Shiyun said again, "You don't need to pay too much attention to this aspect, junior brother. , just take your time."
"Then how can I tell if I've reached Consummation?"
"This is your way, we can't tell you." This time, it was the elder sister who spoke, "But a more unified way of saying it is that there is a feeling of fullness and swelling between the eyebrows... Most of us choose to feel Nature, experience nature, integrate into nature, in this way to improve the communication and coordination between the inner and outer world."
Su Anran keenly noticed another subtext in the elder sister's words: "Any other unusual means?"
For a moment, several senior sisters showed complex expressions.
After a while, Xu Xinhui sighed faintly: "Old Nine...inexplicably entered Shenzhou Tianchi, soaked in the bath for three days, and then opened his eyebrows and eyes. Within half a year, the ninth floor of the Lingtai, and then he will enter the natal realm."
Su Anran blinked her eyes, should she be called the child of luck?
"Where is Shenzhou Tianchi?"
"It's a secret world, no one knows where it is." Tang Shiyun said, "Shenzhou Tianchi, Shenzhou is said in the first era, how can there be Shenzhou now? It has already sunk... Rumor has it that The pool used to be the closest place to the Heavenly Court. In the first era, it was controlled by the Celestial Immortal Sect. As long as you enter that pool, you will naturally feel the purest natural interest between heaven and earth. Heaven, it is bound to be able to communicate and coordinate perfectly between the inner and outer heavens and earth."
"It is also because of this that it is called Shenzhou Tianchi. According to the second senior sister, in the first era, it was not easy to enter Tianchi, and often it could only be entered for one day." Xu Xinhui was a little envious said.
"According to what the Second Senior Sister said?" Su Anran was stunned for a moment, and suddenly he had a bold idea, "Second Senior Sister... Could it be that she was reborn from the First Era?"
"The way of Buddhism is called Awakening Su Hui." Tang Shiyun's nod and words confirmed Su Anran's thoughts, "However, Master's statement is the same as that of your little brother... As far as I am concerned, I am more inclined towards Master. statement."
"I think Third Senior Sister, you seem to have said..." Su Anran suddenly felt that her brain seemed a little insufficient today, "Are you from the Fifth Era?"
"Yes." Tang Shiyun nodded and said, "I come from the Fifth Era, and I am a disciple of Wan Jianzong."
"The third era is also shattered?" This was Su Anran's first reaction.
"I don't know." Tang Shiyun shook her head, "In fact, in my time, in the first and second eras, I could occasionally find a lot of relics and classics, so I can gradually restore and deduce things about these two eras. Especially after getting to know the second senior sister, our Tai Yigu has a clearer understanding and cognition of many things and things in the first era... But only the content of the third era is almost blank. There was such an era, but the cause of its destruction is unknown."
Speaking of this, Tang Shiyun suddenly laughed, and said: "Little brother, I see you are scared... Now that the aura in the third era is so strong, even if you follow the cultivation method of plundering the resources of the world and strengthening yourself in the first era, It will take at least tens of thousands of years before the aura begins to decline, and when the real era breaks, it will be 10 years later. At that time, either we have already existed for eternity, or we have already sat down, what are we afraid of."
"Third Senior Sister is right." Su Anran suddenly smiled, "It's because Junior Brother thinks too much."
Su Anran thinks about it now, Tai Yigu really gathered a group of terrifying people.
Not to mention myself.
The elder sister has Miss Yaoshen, although she is not good at martial arts, she is the logistical support of the entire Taiyi Valley, and the alchemy level can almost be said to have stood at the peak of the third era.
The second senior sister has traveled from the first era, and the only thing she knows so far is that she is especially good at fighting.It's just that I haven't met each other yet, so I don't know the specific situation.
The third senior sister is a disciple of Wan Jianzong in the fifth era. According to the third senior sister, Wan Jianzong is the only holy place for sword cultivators in the fifth era. Outer sect disciples, even now, can definitely become a figure in the world's sword fairy list.And as the third senior sister who is the direct descendant of the suzerain, not to mention the talent level of swordsmanship, it is no wonder that she is called a natural sword embryo.
The Fourth Senior Sister was a genius more than 3000 years ago. Except for Huang Zi and other old monsters who could be said to be secluded or secluded from the world, she almost overwhelmed the entire mysterious world.If it weren't for the worrying EQ, I'm afraid there would be no such thing as Nineteen Cases now.But thanks to entering the Taiyi Valley, otherwise, it is still unknown whether the Fourth Senior Sister will survive until now.
As for the Fifth Senior Sister and the Sixth Senior Sister, needless to say, both of them are time-travelers just like myself, and they have systematic protection. If they are geniuses, they will underestimate them.Especially the sixth senior sister Wei Ying, Su Anran had already heard the third senior sister mention it on the way. With the "little animals" she is raising now, unless it is a direct descendant from the nineteenth sect, or one of the monks who are so talented that they can be called abnormal In addition, there are no more than four cultivation bases in the same realm, and it is basically a detour to meet the sixth senior sister.
After all, being number one on the land list is no joke.
The seventh and eighth senior sisters are also not good at martial arts.
But these two senior sisters also have their own specialties: one is good at refining weapons, and the other is good at forming formations.
Not to mention the Seventh Senior Sister, but as long as enough time is given to the Eighth Senior Sister, she will feel helpless even when the master of the Dao Foundation comes. The cultivation base of the natal realm is among them.
"By the way, what's the situation with Ninth Senior Sister?" Su Anran suddenly thought of a question, "Is she also reborn?"
Su Anran has never forgotten the law of Taiyigu: Those who travel through are useless, and those who are reborn are geniuses.
"Lao Ninth...is more complicated." Third Senior Sister Tang Shiyun sighed, "She is from the same era as Second Senior Sister, and seems to be from the same tribe as Second Senior Sister."
"So she was also reborn from the first era?"
"Rebirth is rebirth, but..." Tang Shiyun showed embarrassment, "She was reborn from the first era to my era. She probably died in the ruins exploration with me, so she was reborn here together. It's just me I don't know exactly what the time flow is, according to Nana, she should have died shortly after my death, but she came to this world 300 years later than me."
"This..." Su Anran looked confused, "So Senior Sister Ninth is actually from the First Era, and was reborn in the Fifth Era, and then reborn in the Third Era?"
"It can be understood in this way." Senior Sister Fang Qianwen, Third Senior Sister Tang Shiyun and Seventh Senior Sister Xu Xinhui nodded together.
"To be able to be reborn so many times, in a sense, this is also a kind of eternal life." Su Anran was a little speechless, "As expected of Ninth Senior Sister who is deeply blessed. I began to wonder if it was because of Ninth Senior Sister Every time after death, the luck of that era will be plundered together, which is why she has such a heaven-defying luck."
As soon as Su Anran finished speaking, she unexpectedly saw the expressions of the elder sister, the third elder sister and others showing deep thought.
No way?
Su Anran froze for a moment.
He didn't know that Song Nana's real defying place was not her source of blessing, but her entanglement of cause and effect.
But Fang Qianwen, Tang Shiyun and others are very clear that there are too many causal lines wrapped around Song Nana, almost unbelievable. Only Huang Zi dares to take her in in the whole mysterious world, and the others can't wait to leave her. farther away.It is precisely because of this that they feel that what Su Anran said has a certain possibility, otherwise, how could a person's body be entwined with so many causal lines, almost trapped into a cocoon.
But when everyone was thinking deeply, a red light suddenly flew in from outside Taiyi Valley.
Its speed was so fast that it almost turned into a burning wire.
"Xiaohong!" Fang Qianwen's expression brightened, "Lao Liu is back!"
