Beginning to become a saint from the path of time and fruit
Chapter 104: The Five Ancient Animals Melt into the Green Mountain, and the Martial Champion Stone P
Tianxuan Palace was quiet, whether it was in the luxurious and magnificent palace or in the wide square with a white jade base.
The morning sun shines through the yellow glazed tiles on the roof of the palace, reflecting the rainbow light of seven colors, which is spread over the square, hovering over the square, forming sharp horns and breaking out of the claws of the invincible dragon, which is gorgeous and fascinating.
The white python is invincible and turns into a dragon!
This is a transformation in spirit and a reflection on the road to legend.
Invincible power is a mysterious and mysterious thing. Few people dare to say that they can gather invincible power. Over the endless years, only a few geniuses want and dare to take this desperate path.
It was a gamble on everything, including talent, cultivation, belief and future. Once it failed, it would be a collapse like a landslide. The price was so high that most people were discouraged.
The bright rays of the morning sun shine on Anle's white clothes, and the surging spring breeze blows his wide sleeves and flutters. There is a gentle smile on his confident and handsome face.
In the Tianxuan Palace, Prime Minister Qin's face was extremely stern, and his hands under his luxurious official robes were clenched tightly. He didn't know what expression he should use to face Anle at this moment.
The two words that drifted into Tianxuan Palace with the spring breeze were like thunder in Qin Lishi's ears, and many officials heard it clearly.
These two words are full of sarcasm, full of disdain and the courage to let the wind of east, west, north and south prevail.
The test in front of the palace was scheduled seven days in advance. The young man came as usual without any fear.
In the literary examination, Qin Hua'an, who ranked third on the Little Saint List, was arranged to block the attack. He was also not afraid for the slightest. He powerfully defeated, chased and completely killed the opponent's soul in the mountain and river map. He broke through the blockade as the leader of the literary examination and proudly emerged from the map. .
As if riding on the wind and waves rising out of thin air, showing unstoppable courage.
The bet that Anle and Qin Xiang had made was well known to the officials present.
Anle killed Qin Qianqiu, the most precious son of Prime Minister Qin. If he can pass the examination in front of the palace and pass the exam this time, he will be pardoned and his crime will not be punished.
But if it fails, Prime Minister Qin can suppress the laws of Zhao and send Anle to the Zhao Prison of Dali Temple. At that time, in the Zhao Prison, no matter how talented he is, he will be tortured to the point where he is not human, and his spirit will be worn away. Go to the invincible position, and finally come to the end miserably.
But now, in the Mountain and River Diagram, Anle used his four-realm spirit to defeat Qin Hua'an, Wang Qilin and other geniuses at the top of the minor saint list, and became the leader of the literary examination.
You know, Qin Huaan and Wang Qilin are both geniuses who have reached the fifth realm of refining gods and have set foot in Zuowang!
Sitting and forgetting the soul, the rays of light shine on the back, and the rosy clouds lift the vision, and the soul is extremely powerful.
No one expected that Anle would be able to defeat them in the divine refining test in the Mountain and River Map.
This victory... is a miracle in itself!
The god-refining method of Wang Qilin of the Wang family is "Fire Sets the Prairie on Fire", which is the same top-level method as "Sword Waterfall Picture", and Qin Huaan's "Wind, Thunder and Fury" is also at the same level.
Under the same method of refining the gods, Anle could only have the spirit of the four realms, but he actually had the last laugh, which puzzled many people.
Mrs. Yu was holding a dragon-headed crutch, and there was a hint of surprise in her old and turbid eyes.
Mrs. Hua also smiled as brightly as a flower.
Anle gave them a huge surprise in the literary test.
Perhaps, Anle can really rely on his own strength to calm the storm, and he can also suppress a storm that should have swept Lin'an.
"Although he is ranked first in the literary examination, the entrance examination has not yet ended, and the martial arts examination has not yet been conducted... Whether he can reach the top three is still unknown."
Qin Lishi's hands drooped, his face showed neither joy nor sadness, and no emotion could be seen.
Even in the face of An Le's slightly mocking two-character words, he remained calm and carried out the essence of the word "forbearance" to the end.
However, his words made many people chuckle.
If he tops the literary test, his chances of ranking among the top three in the imperial examination will be greatly increased. In addition, Qin Huaan is at the bottom of the literary test and cannot compete for the top three.
It is equivalent to saying that as long as Anle ranks among the top five in the martial arts test, he can reach the top three in the palace test.
Even, have the opportunity to hit the No. 1 pick that countless people dream of!
Qin Lishi obviously knew this, as the evil and anger in his eyes kept surging. Qin Huaan's defeat completely disrupted his subordinates.
However, Qin Lishi lowered his face slightly to calm down his emotions and did not say much, wondering what he was planning.
The only way to defeat all conspiracies is to be powerful enough.
This is Anle's strategy for dealing with Qin Lishi. No matter what methods Qin Lishi uses, as long as he wins all the way to the end, all tricks will be useless.
And Anle has this belief, is invincible, and is a legend, so he needs to test in front of this palace and move forward indomitably.
In the Mountain and River Picture, the candidates assigned to the mountains are still competing for their souls.
However, the Second Master felt much more relaxed, because Anle had figured out the plan and Qingshan was no longer there, so there would no longer be such a terrifying suction force to suck all his soul away.
When the second wife let out a long breath, Anle felt a little regretful, and even a little obsessed with it.
He didn't want to leave the Mountain and River Map so quickly. In the Mountain and River Map, he could feel that it became very easy to visualize the green mountains and the future sword energy. He could even clearly clear away the fog on the green mountains and see the ancient forging on them. Neurotext.
He had meditated on most of that sutra, and there was still a little more to do.
Unfortunately, Wang Qilin came to challenge him, and he had to accept the challenge.
Without the blessing of the mountain and river map, it would obviously be more difficult for Anle to rely solely on his own soul to visualize.
Anle even wondered if he would get another chance to enter the Mountains and Rivers Painting by going to the Academy of Arts after the examination in front of the palace was over.
However, considering that he has not joined the Academy of Literature, the Mountains and Rivers Painting, as the first-grade god-refining calligraphy treasure of the Academy of Arts, may not be easily developed for him.
A first-grade divine refining magic weapon is precious. Using such a treasure is by no means an easy task, and the price to be paid should not be underestimated.
In the mountain and river map, the battle for the soul is gradually coming to an end.
After Ye Wenxi's Yuan Shen Xiaguang powerfully wiped out Sima Pudu's Yuan Shen, Ye Wenxi became the second in the literary examination.
The rest were ranked one by one by Erfuzi according to their performance in the Mountain and River Map.
Sima Pudu ranked before Wang Qilin, because Wang Qilin collided with Anle's soul... and collapsed too quickly, so his score was lower.
Wang Qilin didn't care about this. After all, when he encountered the strange green mountain that Anle was visualizing, it could only be said that he was unlucky, not that he was incompetent.
Compared with Qin Huaan, who was eliminated first, Wang Qilin felt that he was actually pretty good.
At this point, the first literary test officially ended.
The Second Master put away the "Mountains and Rivers" that was about a hundred meters long and held the scroll in his hand. The Second Master's face was slightly pale, but he had to show a calm and calm look.
"The literary test is officially over. The top three in the literary test are Anle, Ye Wenxi and Sima Pudu. The rest of the rankings are recorded and calculated together with the martial arts test results."
The second wife, Pang Ji, stroked his beard and said calmly.
After saying that, he nodded slightly towards the emperor of the Zhao family who was sitting on the throne in the center of Tianxuan Palace.
After bowing, he drifted away.
Come in a hurry, leave in a hurry.
Don't take away even a wisp of clouds on your sleeves.
Everyone was stunned for a moment, never thinking about why the Second Master ran away without even observing the test in front of the palace. What was the urgency?
But everyone did not pay too much attention, because as the second master left, Wu Kui Di Zang, who was standing in Tianxuan Palace, took a step forward, clasped his fists towards the emperor of the Zhao family, and then walked step by step towards the magnificent Tianxuan Palace. go.
Standing on the white jade Danqi, the energy and blood in Wu Kuidizang's body suddenly burst out, like a bloody light beam rushing into the sky and hitting the misty white clouds above Tianxuan Palace, turning the white clouds into blood clouds.
The energy and blood are like a column of smoke.
"The literary test has been completed, and the next step is the martial arts test."
"I, Mr. Di, will be responsible for presiding over the martial arts test."
Di Zang had disheveled hair, tattoos on his face, and was wearing armor. He was carrying a Zhaozu Dragon-Slaying Sword, and he was unparalleled in spirit. He followed the words.
The surging energy and blood rushed out like a huge wave, hitting the many candidates standing in the White Jade Square.
Anle's waist was straight, like a green bamboo facing a hurricane, standing proudly and unyielding. Under the skin, the blood was boiling, and the ancient demon roared deafeningly.
Ye Wenxi, Sima Pudu, Wang Qilin, Zhong Taohua and others also had gleaming eyes, their bodies were intertwined with Qi and blood, and their majestic Qi and blood, as well as their innate Qi, surged out of their bodies, resisting the Qi of Wu Kui Di Zang. Standing still with blood.
They are all geniuses on the Little Saint List and have their own pride. Of course, they will not be easily forced to retreat by Wu Kui's momentum.
Of course, this is also the reason why Di Zang has never really exploded in power. This is just a show of force against the candidates.
But despite this, many candidates also had red faces and had to retreat under the pressure of this energy and blood.
Di Zang was wearing armor and standing on the white jade altar. His energy and blood were like smoke, and his eyes were like bombing artillery fire, scanning the dozen candidates for the palace examination in the square.
"The rules of the martial arts test are not as complicated as those set up by the Academy of Arts, nor are they as convoluted. They are simple and straightforward."
"I will attract the Wu Kui Stone from the Martial Temple. You will use all your energy, mystical will and innate power to push the Wu Kui Stone. The distance the Wu Kui Stone is pushed out will be your martial arts test results."
Di Zang said calmly.
However, the voice of the words caused the expressions of many candidates in the White Jade Square to change slightly.
The person who was tested in the martial arts test... was actually to promote Wu Kuishi? !
The Master of the Academy of Arts brought the "Mountains and Rivers Picture", and Wu Kui of the Wu Temple directly brought the Wu Kui Stone? !
This is really a fight.
However, the Academy of Arts and the Martial Arts Temple have been fighting for nearly ten thousand years, so everyone is used to it, but this time the test in front of the palace was so grand, it really surprised everyone.
In the Tianxuan Palace, the civil and military officials looked a little surprised, because the questions for the examination in front of the palace were set by the Academy of Literature and the Martial Arts Temple, and they did not know the specific questions before.
Therefore, when Di Zang said that he would move Wu Kuishi, it really caused quite a commotion.
Prime Minister Qin narrowed his eyes, and Deputy Prime Minister Ouyang Xiangru, who was standing next to Prime Minister Qin, laughed: "Di Wukui still has the same temper. The Academy of Arts brought the "Mountains and Rivers Picture", and the Martial Arts Temple wanted to overpower the Academy. The only choice is to move Wu Kuishi."
"The dumb man in the Wen Yuan suffered miserably, but the Wenqu stele in the Wen Yuan cannot be moved around like Wu Kuishi. No matter what, it is a loss. It does not have the free and easy spirit of Wu Kui in the Martial Temple."
"You said it was Prime Minister Qin."
Qin Lishi glanced at Ouyang Xiangru, smiled and ignored him.
In the court, Qin Lishi was the prime minister and Ouyang Xiangru was the deputy prime minister. The relationship between the two was already at odds. In addition, Ouyang Xiangru and Lin Silang were close friends, and Qin Lishi was not at all happy.
Before the White Jade Danchi.
After Wu Kuidizang finished speaking, he took a step forward, and instantly his body rushed into the clouds, like a wave of air exploding, leaving a trail of energy and blood cloud waves on the blue sky.
Within a few breaths, there was another deafening roar, a terrifying sound of blood surging.
But he saw Wu Kui Di Zang returning from the sky, carrying the huge Wu Kui Stone on his back with both hands. The Wu Kui Stone was even wrapped with thick chains one after another.
Like a falling star.
It hit the White Jade Square with a thud, and invisible air waves surged away.
However, despite such a fierce and rapid fall, no cracks appeared on the white jade bricks paved on the ground of the square.
It is enough to show that Wu Kuidi Zang controls his own power to a delicate and subtle level.
When Wu Kuishi appeared in Baiyu Square, there was an uproar in the square.
It was the first time for many people to see Wu Kuishi in the Martial Arts Temple, and they found it very strange.
The huge stone fell on the White Jade Square. Just looking at it, there was a strong urge to drain the blood from the body, which made many A and B Jinshi look away with pale faces.
Ye Wenxi, Ye Yinping, Wang Qilin and other geniuses on the Little Saint List did not shy away, staring at Wu Kuishi with burning eyes.
There seemed to be an ancient voice on Wukui Stone impacting their minds.
Di Zang placed the Wu Kuishi on the white jade green bricks, pressing the thick chains. On top of the boulder, a mist of blood and blood curled up.
Di Zang clapped his hands, calmed down his breath, and scanned the candidates.
Then he raised his hand and pointed at Wang Qilin: "You come first, come one by one, be fair and just."
Wang Qilin was not afraid at all when he was named.
Wearing gorgeous clothes and holding his head high, although his soul was crushed by Anle in the Mountain and River Picture, it did not affect his self-confidence at all.
Unlike Luo Qingchen, he is not someone who loses his faith after one defeat.
Moreover, Wang Qilin felt that the reason why Anle was able to defeat him in spirit was because of his unique visualization of green mountains.
Wang Qilin clasped his fists and bowed to Di Zang. Then, as the energy and blood in his body mobilized, and the profound meaning of martial arts appeared, it seemed as if a flaming unicorn appeared, hissing and trampling around, the flames spread vigorously, and the stars were everywhere.
Walking towards Wu Kuishi step by step, the energy and blood on Wu Kuishi were intertwined, and it seemed that there was a powerful martial arts conception affecting his mind.
Wang Qilin's face was solemn, and he locked his soul while walking. Facing Wu Kuishi, he did not dare to reveal any of his mental power.
Otherwise, let alone moving the stone, I am afraid that Wu Kuishi will backfire and be seriously injured.
Wang Qilin's colorful clothes were blown close to his body by the strong energy, and his palm fell on Wu Kui Stone.
boom! !
Suddenly, Qi and blood intertwined on the Wu Kui Stone, and a martial arts phenomenon suddenly appeared. On the Wu Kui Stone, there was also a flaming unicorn roaring towards Wang Qilin, impacting Wang Qilin's body.
The flaming unicorn transformed from the martial arts mysteries behind Wang Qilin collided with the flaming unicorn on Wu Kui Stone, killing each other like an invisible tug-of-war.
Only by suppressing the martial arts anomaly simulated on Wu Kui Stone can he have a chance to push Wu Kui Stone.
This test is not about cultivation, but the possibility of breaking one's own limits.
Wang Qilin roared and was born. On his arms, the sleeves of his Chinese clothes instantly shattered, revealing arms with muscles like horned dragons. His arms bulged irregularly, and majestic power was released between his arms like a flood.
The flaming unicorn on Wu Kui Stone was instantly dissipated by the energy and blood.
Boom!
Wu Kuishi pressed against the chain and was pushed with great force. The sound of the friction between the boulder and the chain surprised many people.
In Tianxuan Palace.
Both eyes were casting glances, and the emperor of the Zhao family, who was sitting on the throne, was also looking curiously.
boom!
When the blood mist exploded with his arms, Wang Qilin retreated continuously, panting slightly, opening his eyes, and there was a touch of joy on his face. The feeling of breaking his own limits was very satisfying.
He turned back to the queue.
"Wu Kui's stone moved, one foot and three inches."
Di Zang said calmly and reported Wang Qilin's results.
Afterwards, he interviewed many candidates one by one.
Most people can't even shake Wu Kuishi, and the best can only move an inch away.
It is not easy to move Wu Kuishi.
Sima Pudu also showed extraordinary energy, moving stones one foot and one inch under the eyes of everyone, which was slightly inferior to Wang Qilin.
Ye Yinping moved the stone nine inches.
Plant a peach blossom and remove a stone.
No one could surpass Wang Qilin'er, which made Duke Wang Guo in Tianxuan Palace couldn't help but smile with satisfaction.
However, when Ye Wenxi walked out and moved Wu Kuishi two feet and three inches away, there was an uproar in the audience.
The smile on Duke Wang's face disappeared and he snorted coldly but said nothing.
Ye Longsheng's most promising heir fought against the geniuses of the Yuanmeng Empire on the battlefield of Canglang River. He was determined and it was much easier to break his own limits.
The Wang family's Qilin'er had not yet been to the battlefield to hone his skills, so he was slightly inferior to Ye Wenxi, but in his opinion, it was nothing.
However, one thing is certain, Wang Qilin's performance can at least stabilize the top three in the martial arts test.
The only person left who can threaten his performance is Qin Huaan.
An Le, the leader of the Wen Examination, is comparable to the four realms of body training. With this level of cultivation, it is difficult to move Wu Kuishi even one foot, and he is not comparable to the Qilin'er of the Wang family.
Next, Di Zang directly named Qin Huaan.
Qin Huaan, who unexpectedly failed in the literary test, walked out of the queue step by step.
The arrogance in his body has disappeared. Anle used the green mountain to chop his soul into pieces, and he was the first one to be chopped out in the mountain and river map.
Qin Huaan's mentality was slightly ups and downs. He was at the bottom in the literary test. Even if he won the first place in the martial arts test, it would be difficult to reach the top three.
However, Qin Huaan suddenly felt a gaze cast from Tianxuan Palace.
His body trembled slightly, and his originally depressed mood was rekindled at this moment.
"I disappointed my father in the literary test, and the martial arts test..."
"I want to give my father hope again."
Qin Hua'an's eyes flashed with flames. As long as he ranked among the top three in the martial arts test, the possibility of Anle getting into the top three would become increasingly slim.
With this belief, Qin Huaan walked to Wu Kui Stone with energy and blood surging in his body.
He stared at Wu Kuishi, with energy and blood in his body surging and martial arts mysteries bursting out. However, when he pressed his hands on Wu Kuishi, a strange mountain suddenly appeared on Wu Kuishi...
Seeing this vision, Qin Huaan's eyes suddenly shrank, because this was exactly what Anle had imagined, the vision of Qingshan that shattered his spirit and caused him to fall to the bottom of the valley!
Qin Hua'an's mood fluctuated, and in the Niwan Palace between his eyebrows, the soul couldn't help but open his eyes calmly.
After Wu Kuishi.
Di Zang couldn't help but frown and yell: "Idiot!"
At the moment when the soul fluctuated, Qin Huaan also knew that he was about to suffer. Sure enough, a human face suddenly appeared in Wu Kui Stone, and the majestic energy and blood collapsed like a sea of blood, and instantly hit him like a broken bamboo.
Qin Huaan's energy and blood were directly pushed back into his body, and his martial arts mysteries and innate air secrets were all washed away to pieces.
The whole person flew out horizontally, with blood spraying from his mouth and nose, and smashed dozens of white jade and blue bricks in succession.
The whole place was quiet, and no one knew what to say.
Qin Huaan made a mistake and actually used his soul in front of Wu Kuishi...
In front of Wu Kuishi, who dares to touch the soul?
Isn't that looking for trouble?
Such a low-level mistake really makes people laugh out loud.
This is true both inside and outside Tianxuan Palace.
Qin Xiang's body couldn't help but tremble. Was this his only son sincere in playing him? Did he deliberately make Qin Lishi a laughing stock? !
He had indeed ignored Qin Hua'an before. It was understandable that Qin Hua'an was unwilling to take part in revenge for Qin Qianqiu, but he never thought that Qin Hua'an's performance today was like an actor on the stage!
Everyone's laughter was like a dagger piercing his heart.
Qin Lishi's expression was terrifyingly cold.
On the White Jade Square, Qin Huaan covered his face in despair. He who was ranked third on the Little Saint List... was hit by a green mountain today and had a psychological shadow.
A green mountain appeared on the Wu Kui stone, asking him to break the green mountain to break his limit.
But……
He actually used his soul uncontrollably.
At this moment, Qin Huaan's heart dropped to the bottom. After so many years of preparation, he didn't want to disappoint his father, but in the end it turned into a joke.
Wu Kui Di Zang didn't even bother to look at Qin Hua'an, so he was extremely stupid to use his soul in front of Wu Kui Stone.
"Qin Hua'an, bear thirty feet."
Di Zang said.
As the words fell, the laughter all around became increasingly uncontrollable.
"Anle, it's your turn."
Di Zang looked at Anle, and the tattoo on his face made many people who wanted to laugh, but did not dare to laugh out loud.
An Le's clothes were fluttering, and he wore two Mochi Qingshan swords on his waist. He walked out slowly, bowed to Wu Kuidi Zang, and then walked towards Wu Kuishi.
As he stepped forward, he circled above his head, transforming into the invincible power of a heavenly dragon, and roared out.
Qi and blood spread bit by bit, moving rapidly under the skin.
In front of Wu Kuishi, Anle closed the sword furnace between his eyebrows.
In the dantian, the inner alchemy trembles, there are ancient demon tigers roaring, ferocious roars, and demon apes neighing...
There is a strange phenomenon of Qi and blood growing behind his back!
Ye Wenxi, Sima Pudu, Wang Qilin and others all stared at Anle.
In the Tianxuan Palace, one after another sharp gazes were projected.
Mrs. Hua, Li Youan, Mrs. Yu and others looked with some expectation.
Qin Lishi's expression was neither happy nor sad, and he looked indifferently.
An Le clapped his palms, and an ancient demonic phenomenon suddenly appeared on Wu Kui Stone.
However, the invincible dragon that snaked above his head suddenly pounced down and crashed into An Le's body, causing An Le's momentum to rise steadily and his blood to boil.
Boom!
Wu Kuishi was instantly pushed.
One inch, two inches, three inches...
Although blessed by the invincible force that transformed into a heavenly dragon, Anle broke through the limit and quickly pushed Wu Kuishi.
But after all, there is still a gap in cultivation among the four realms of body training.
When the boulder was pushed to one foot or two inches, I felt a huge obstacle and weakness.
When everyone and even Anle himself thought that the martial arts test score would stop at one foot and two inches, ranking third.
An Le's whole body was squirming with the ancient demon scriptures taught by Wu Kui. Inexplicably, An Le had changed and turned into the words of the ancient scripture that An Le had learned when he was visualizing the green mountains in the mountain and river map.
The text of the scriptures melted into the color of Qi and blood, and slowly climbed onto Anle's face.
The whole person seems to be inked with cinnabar, using his skin as paper to write quickly with ink.
The green mountain around his waist suddenly let out a clear sword cry.
A majestic pure sword energy penetrated into his body from the Qingshan Sword.
Above Anle's inner elixir, sword energy lingers, and the sword energy turns into a green mountain, like a mountain, blending into the inner elixir.
On top of the inner elixir, the mysterious meaning of the five animals of the ancient demon was once again integrated into the mysterious meaning of the Qingshan Mountain!
Invincible power, ancient demon energy and blood, and Qingshan mysterious meaning suddenly erupted in Anle's body at this moment.
The relationship between the sword and the stone seems to be renewed at this moment!
His face was filled with the happiness of Qi and Blood scriptures, and his eyes seemed to have a bloody light flashing suddenly.
boom! ! !
Wu Kuishi, who was originally unable to push, started to move again.
On the Wu Kui Stone, one after another Wu Kui's phantoms intertwined and appeared, flying and hovering around the blood stone.
The boulder rubbed against the chain, making an extremely harsh sound.
In the disbelieving eyes of Ye Wenxi, Sima Pudu, Wang Qilin and others.
An Le almost ran wildly, pushing Wu Kuishi out and hitting Di Zang who was standing three feet behind the stone.
Di Zang was stunned for a moment, his eyes narrowed, and he subconsciously raised his hand to catch Wu Kuishi who was hit by Anle's push.
There was a muffled sound.
Di Zang remained motionless.
But under his feet, two white bricks...
Silently shattered.
