Chapter 125

Jiang Yuanchen saw that Zangyuan had brought two rogue cultivators over. He first greeted Zangyuan and then said to the two rogue cultivators, "One of you is a fire cultivator and the other is a wood cultivator. Are you looking for a Golden Core technique or a Heavenly Tribulation technique?"

"A Golden Core technique!"

"A Heavenly Tribulation technique!"

The two of them did not know each other. They only teamed up because they had the same goal. Cultivation techniques were different from other things. They could be copied and practiced together. Compared to treasures and herbs, there were fewer fights.

"Then let's go together. Everyone who sees it has a share. I'll let the two of you choose three techniques each," Jiang Yuanchen said generously.

The five of them entered the Scripture Depository together. This was an antique little pavilion. All kinds of books were sealed on the bookshelves. These bookshelves were made of thousand-year-old wood. They would not decay even after a thousand years. The scriptures on them were still intact.

"The first floor is for Daoist techniques. The second floor is for cultivation techniques. The third floor is for cultivation experiences. You two can look for them on the second floor!" Jiang Yuanchen said and went up to the third floor.

Compared to Daoist techniques and cultivation techniques, a Daoist priest's cultivation research was more important.

The hall on the third floor was a sand table. Before Lin Zixuan could say anything, Jiang Yuanchen's eyes lit up. "Kyushu sand table!" Wasn't this the sand table he had built in the Dream Realm?

"Sure enough, the path I am walking is also the research direction of the seniors."

For cultivators, cultivating the Dao was the most mainstream goal. Therefore, to study and comprehend the Dao of Heaven and Earth, most of them would imitate Jiang Yuanchen's actions and create a sand table to preserve their understanding. It was easy to add to and reflect on.

"Eh? This is the Sword Breaking Technique? "Zangyuan was also looking around the third floor. His eyes fell on a stack of paper on the table. Every piece of paper was engraved with a sword technique.

As soon as he looked at the picture, his spiritual consciousness was drawn into it. As the small person performed a sword technique, another small person appeared and broke his sword technique.

"Chixiao sword school, Jingyang Daoist sect, Taixu Taoism..." Lin Zixuan walked over and saw the papers. His expression suddenly changed.

These were the summaries of the sword techniques of the major sects. The Daoist priest's manuscripts found all kinds of flaws in their sword techniques.

Lin Zixuan and Cang Yuan glanced at each other. With a tacit understanding, they kept their own sect's method of breaking sword techniques. Lin Zixuan took out a pile of jade scrolls. The two started copying them so that they could slowly study them when they got back.

At this time, Jiang Yuanchen put away the sand table left behind by the Perfected Being and then took away all the manuscripts on the third floor. "Theory of the Nature of Essence Qi of Heaven and Earth", "Golden Core Walking Technique", "Four Seas Water Scripture", and "The Various Possibilities of Refining Dragons" were all the cultivation experiences of the Daoist priest. After that, Jiang Yuanchen went down to the second floor to meet the two rogue cultivators.

"Have you chosen?"

"Yes!" The two hurriedly handed their ancient books to Jiang Yuanchen. "Senior, we only need the copies." When the two came in, they saw Jiang Yuanchen's love for books. They knew that he would not let these authentic books wander around, so they consciously asked.

"Yes." Jiang Yuanchen put away the six books and flipped through them. He took the jade scrolls and made a copy for them. He asked the two to make another copy. "You two can't copy the visualization pictures in these scriptures, so I made one for you. In order to prevent me from tampering with it, the two of you can each copy it. With one more copy, you won't have any reason to fight in two days. " Jiang Yuanchen was considerate. He was worried that the two would fight for the cultivation methods in the future, so he made one more copy to stop them from killing and stealing the cultivation methods.

The two rogue cultivators agreed. After making a copy, they heard Jiang Yuanchen say, "You two came for the cultivation methods and lost the chance to find treasures. So, each of you will take a bookshelf here. These bookshelves made of thousand-year-old spiritual wood are also good magic weapons. Although they can't be used as offensive magic weapons, they can be used to store scriptures and display collections. "

The two of them each picked a bookshelf and left.

Before leaving, one of the rogue cultivators turned to look at the Scripture Depository and said to the person beside him, "I heard from the disciples of the big sects that Daoist Hyun Ho is vicious. Now it seems that this senior is a good person!" At least he didn't treat rogue cultivators like ants like the disciples of the other sects. He didn't bully them at will. He even kindly told them the way to leave.

When the other person heard this, he also nodded, "Hearing is not as good as seeing. I think the rumors are wrong! However, this senior has cultivated for such a short period of time. He is a model for us to learn from! "

"My lord, I didn't expect to become a senior too!" Hyun Jin's voice teased.

How could Jiang Yuanchen not bring his guardian when he came to explore? It was just that Hyun Jin hid in his Dragon Tiger Mystic Altar and only used his divine sense to cover the surroundings to check the actions of the two rogue cultivators. Seeing that the two did not tamper and really left, Hyun Jin retracted his divine sense.

"Hmph! After all, I am also a second tier Golden Core cultivator! If I achieve the Primordial Spirit within five hundred years, won't I be a senior to many people? " After Jiang Yuanchen cleaned up the Scripture Depository, he turned around and called Lin Zixuan and Zangyuan to leave to look for Mu Qingyi.

"This is indeed an immortal abode left behind by the Taishang Daoist Sect. It might be connected to the Dao Sect's grotto-heaven. If we find it, we'll follow the old rules. How about it?" As they walked, Jiang Yuanchen and Zangyuan discussed.

The so-called old rules were, of course, an alliance between Taixu and Crimson Nimbus. The two sects had worked together for hundreds of years. Many mystic realms were developed together. Now that they had encountered the Qingxu grotto-heaven of the Taishang Daoist Sect, it was naturally the same.

"Alright!" This was a tradition, so Zangyuan would not break it.

When the three of them reached an agreement and arrived at the core hall, they saw Mr. Zhou fighting against Ouyang Yu, Yi Tuo, and the others.

Although Mr. Zhou's cultivation was profound, Ouyang Yu had a full set of Pure Yang Treasures. Mr. Zhou did not dare to kill him because he was worried that he would attract a counterattack.

Jiang Yuanchen tied the Bewitching Bell to the spirit whip. The long whip lashed out, and the sound of the bell shook the souls of everyone present, forcibly separating them.

"So it's the people from the Jingyang Daoist Sect!" Jiang Yuanchen shouted. The three of them walked beside Mr. Zhou. "Everyone, please. We have the upper hand here. If you don't want to hurt our friendship, the Taoist priest can point out the location of the treasure chamber. You can choose your treasures and leave. At least this trip will not be in vain." Although Jiang Yuanchen boasted that the combined strength of his two sects was not inferior to the Jingyang Daoist Sect, Qingli Monastery, and Hanyue Palace, he was not willing to become enemies for no reason. It would be best if they could settle this peacefully.

Yi Tuo looked hesitant. Of course, she knew the means of Jiang Yuanchen, Lin Zixuan, and Zangyuan. With the addition of Mr. Zhou, a Three-tribulation Ghost Immortal, it would be difficult for them to win even if they were to gang up on them. Therefore, she gradually thought of retreating, but she could not make the decision for the female disciples of Hanyue Palace. Hanyue Palace had a close relationship with the Jingyang Daoist Sect. Two of the female disciples were in love with Ouyang Yu. At this moment, they stood on Ouyang Yu's side and glared at Jiang Yuanchen.

"Who do you think you are? How dare you be the leader of Hanyue Palace! "

"Why should we listen to you?"

"Anyone who has a marriage alliance with the King Of Chess is the enemy of Hanyue Palace!"

The two disciples of Hanyue Palace had been cultivating in Bingzhou for a long time, so they would not swear. However, their attitudes showed everything. Originally, Jiang Yuanchen did not have a good impression of Hanyue Palace. Now, it was even worse.

Jiang Yuanchen smiled and then said to Wang Yu of Qingli Temple, "Senior Brother Wang, we all know what Qingli Temple has done in the northern region of Lingzhou these years. If we leave now, we will be on the same side. Otherwise, I will have to bear the anger of those people! "

Qingli Temple felt guilty for what they had done in the northern region of Lingzhou. With a conflicted expression, Wang Yu stole a glance at Ouyang Yu and said nothing, but he still stood beside Ouyang Yu.

The karma of the Seal of Mountains and Rivers alone would make Qingli Temple and the Jingyang Daoist Sect inseparable until the next Devil Tribulation.

"Another enemy!" Seeing this, Jiang Yuanchen could not help but sigh. From top to bottom, and from bottom to top, Taixu Taoism had been allies with Chixiao sword school for many years. Therefore, the disciples of the two sects had always been on good terms. But at the same time, if the disciples had a deeper level of communication, it would affect the direction of the upper echelons of the factions. For example, Taixu Taoism and King Of Chess Palace were close because of the relationship between Li Wen and his wife. His King Of Chess Palace, which was originally inclined to Taixu Taoism, was directly on Taixu Taoism's side.

Taixu Taoism, Chixiao sword school, and King Of Chess Palace formed an alliance. Similarly, Jingyang Daoist Sect, Hanyue Palace, and Qingli Temple formed an alliance. Of course, Haoming Faction, Taixu Taoism, and Chixiao sword school also cooperated in Zhongzhou, so they could be counted as an alliance. As for Heavenly Gate Taoism and Heavenly Craftsmanship Palace, they remained neutral as always. One had few disciples, and the other focused on research. Neither was willing to get involved in the conflicts of the outside world.

Bang!

After a loud noise, the roof of the grand hall was lifted. A five-colored brilliance shot up into the sky and gathered into a vortex in the air. In the next moment, a white light flashed before everyone's eyes. When everything returned to normal, everyone had entered another strange world.

At that moment, Jiang Yuanchen unconsciously exclaimed, "Qingxu Grotto-Heaven!" This grotto-heaven felt very similar to Zixia Grotto-Heaven. However, the foundation of this grotto-heaven was the Innate Primordial Qingxu Dao Qi, which was different from the Innate Pure Yang Purple Qi of Taixu Taoism.

Then, before Jiang Yuanchen could make a move, he suddenly felt that his magic power had been sealed by the grotto-heaven, and he was like an ordinary person. Then, a green light flashed, and he appeared in a stone room.

Looking around, there was an incense stick, a praying mat, and a round plate at the side of the stone room.

Just as he was thinking of ways to contact Mr. Zhou and the others, he suddenly heard a cold voice coming from above, "The Taishang Daoist Sect's inheritance test has begun. Those who pass the five tests will automatically become the Taishang Daoist Sect's successor."

Was this the test mechanism left by the Taishang Daoist Sect in the grotto-heaven? Jiang Yuanchen frowned. He realized that the stone house had isolated all divine thoughts and spiritual senses, and his magic power had been completely locked in his body. He looked at the stone plate in front of him again.

"This plate is called the Nine Consecutive Plates. There are nine round holes on it to deal with nine mechanisms. Every gem beside it can be used to activate a mechanism. However, seven of the nine mechanisms are blank, and two of them are filled with poisonous gas. Please do not be confident that you can resist the poisonous gas refined by the Eight-Treasure Soul-Shattering Powder. "The voice was monotonous.

Jiang Yuanchen's expression suddenly changed, "The Eight-Treasure Soul-Shattering Powder?" This thing was a kind of highly toxic poison, a poison that specifically targeted the soul. It was said that originally, a pill cultivator wanted to refine a secret medicine for breaking through to the Primordial Spirit. He used eight kinds of top-notch elixirs in succession, but in the end, a highly toxic poison was produced! It was a poison that even Gold Core cultivators did not dare to deal with, and even Yang Spirit Masters had to be careful about!

Jiang Yuanchen could not help but smile bitterly. It was true that in the past thousand years, there had been a lot of progress in the research of Taoism, but at the same time, there were also some things that were revolving in the same place. For example, poison. This kind of thing was a banned existence. Because there were few experimental subjects, not many people studied the antidote. At least, it was very difficult for Jiang Yuanchen to figure out a way to detoxify this kind of poison!

"Do you see the nine gems on the left? Seven red and two black. As long as you put the red gems in, a light shield will be created for you, temporarily avoiding the poison of the Eight-Treasure Soul-Shattering Powder. And the black gems are ordinary gems that have no effect at all. If you put them in an empty mechanism, naturally it will be fine, but if you put them in the wrong place and encounter a poisonous mechanism, then please destroy your soul! "

After listening to the explanation, Jiang Yuanchen played with the nine gems in his hand. This test was very simple. He only needed to aim the red gems at the mechanism of the poisonous gas!

But what about the ratio of life and death? Jiang Yuanchen thought silently.

"My Lord, this test is not easy for you!" Hyun Jin reminded him secretly.

That's right, he only needed to choose the corresponding gems to put in the hole. But if all seven gems were used up, and the next mechanism happened to be poisonous gas, what should he do? Wouldn't it be a dead end?

Especially smart people who liked to think more. They would think more about this mechanism, and when that time came, they would be the ones who would suffer.

"Decisiveness! This trial was a test of one's own decisiveness. Of course, there was also a bit of luck and risk! My Lord, what you lack the most is decisiveness and the spirit of adventure! Based on your character, you definitely won't do it unless you have more than 50% confidence, "Hyun Jin analyzed calmly.

Jiang Yuanchen took a deep breath. Just as he was about to speak, he suddenly heard a voice from above. "Begin. Please solve the nine chains before the incense sticks burn out."

"..." Jiang Yuanchen frowned and reached out to touch the first hole. The incense sticks could last for an hour, so he needed to open nine mechanisms within an hour!

"The first mechanism, is it poisonous gas or a safe one? If the first mechanism is safe, and I put in a black gem, then I can leave a red gem at the back as a guarantee of survival! "Jiang Yuanchen thought silently.

The candlelight flickered, and a dim shadow appeared in the corner. Jiang Yuanchen sat quietly beside the round plate and pondered. The others were also facing this problem.

Red or black? Should they choose to pass the test safely, or take a risk?

"Red!" Lin Zixuan threw a red gem inside.

"Black!" Gu Yuan threw his own black gem inside.

"Black!" Zangyuan.

"Red!" Ouyang Yu.

A total of more than forty cultivators were forcefully brought here to begin the Taishang Daoist Sect's trial. Before this first test, they all began to make their own choices.

"My choice — —!" Jiang Yuanchen picked up a gem and threw it inside. He could only hear the clicking sound of the mechanism, as if it was the sound of death.
