This small incident made Jade Heart Fox famous. It also allowed everyone to get to know Gao Zhengyang, a seemingly awesome Artifact Spirit!
Although Jade Heart Fox was smiling on the surface, she felt extremely bitter inside. The artifact spirit became the master while she became the slave. It would be a great humiliation if word got out. She hated that she could not hide in a ditch but attract everyone's attention.
This sense of humiliation was magnified by everyone's attention. It was only because Jade Heart Fox was rather shrewd that she was able to hide her thoughts and pretend that nothing had happened.
"Since all the sects are here, let's begin."
Perfected Lord Xuanshu took out a small jade chime and tapped it lightly. A clear ringing reverberated in everyone's ears and attracted everyone's attention.
Kong Yunxiang of the Vitality Sect also stood up and agreed, "Perfected Lord is right. Since everyone is here, let's begin."
The Essence Soul experts of the other sects nodded. As the leader of the four major sword sects, the Sky River Sword Sect had an extremely important position among the ten major sects.
Perfected Lord Xuanshu was a Four Tribulation Perfected Lord. Not only was his cultivation level high, he was also experienced. Everyone naturally responded to him when he spoke.
Perfected Lord Xuanshu said seriously, "All of you are the pillars of the sects and have extraordinary talents. This trip to the Demon God Palace is a cultivation and also a competition. However, you must not kill your fellow Daoists. Otherwise, heaven and earth will not tolerate it! "
As he said that, Perfected Lord Xuanshu's sharp gaze swept across the faces of the righteous disciples. Everyone had a stern expression and did not dare to be careless.
Kong Yunxiang of the Vitality Sect also said, "Let's not talk about cultivation level for the righteous path. The most important thing is to have a righteous heart. If one's heart is not righteous, one will be evil. No matter how high one's cultivation level is, one will definitely fall into the path of demons. Especially in the Demon God Palace where demonic qi surges into the sky. If one's thoughts are not pure, the demonic qi will definitely enter one's body and cause great trouble … "
Although the two Essence Soul experts' words were common, it had a different meaning when they emphasized it before entering the Demon God Palace.
For thousands of years, the Demon God Palace trials had no supervision and many accidents had happened. Many geniuses had died in there.
No matter how good one's cultivation was, one's true character and ability could not be seen. Only at the juncture of life and death could one see the true nature of a person.
It was the cruelty of the Monster God Temple that made it the best touchstone. Whether it was gold or a piece of rock, one would know the quality by throwing it inside.
The Essence Soul realm experts of the other major sects also said a few words. It was either a warning or an encouragement. However, they all reiterated one point, which was that they absolutely could not kill or persecute fellow Daoists.
The competition between the top ten sects was quite fierce. Every year, they would fight each other because of all kinds of conflicts and disputes. But on the whole, everyone remained restrained. Cultivators above the Nascent Soul level were not allowed to participate in the battle.
Such a rule limited the level and scope of the battle. Even if the Nascent Soul powerhouses did not participate, the foundation of the sect would not be shaken. Therefore, the Ten Great Sects had dominated the Righteous Path for tens of thousands of years, and no other sects had been able to shake their position.
The big shots of the sects were able to distinguish the severity of the matter and grasp the propriety. It was hard to say for the young disciples of the sect. The fierce competition, coupled with the encouragement and guidance from their teachers, made many people only have victory in their eyes.
The Monster God Temple was an environment that was hard to be monitored by external forces. Many people would go down the wrong path. The big shots of the sects hoped that the disciples would have a strong sense of competition, but they did not want them to go down the wrong path because of it.
Although the bodies of the Monster Gods sealed in the Monster God Temple were dead, their Divine Souls were not destroyed. If they were not careful, the Monster God's Divine Soul would sense them. If their Divine Soul and Qi interacted, the aura of the Monster God might invade their Divine Soul and they would fall into the Path of the Fiendish Demon.
Moreover, this process was mostly irreversible. Once the Divine Soul was invaded by the aura of the Monster God, it was difficult to get rid of it completely. Those who were infected by the aura of the Monster God would be killed by the ten sects once they were discovered.
Regardless of whether the disciples listened or not, the teachers had to emphasize it repeatedly.
After the Essence Soul realm experts finished speaking, they looked at each other. Under the lead of Perfected Lord Xuanshu, each sect sent one Essence Soul realm expert to form an array.
The ten Essence Soul realm experts each held the Divine Weapons of their sects. The Milky Way Sword Token, the Book of Morality, the Jade Bodhi, and other Divine Weapons shone together. Under the guidance of the array, the sealed door of the Monster God Temple was activated.
The ten Divine Weapons were like ten keys. Only when all of them were gathered could the Monster God Temple be activated.
As the leader of the array, Perfected Lord Xuanshu felt that it was about time. He formed a hand seal with his left hand and a sword art with his right hand. He slashed at the void in front of him and shouted, "Open!"
A dark red light flashed in the void in front of him. Then, as if two invisible doors were opened, a square black hole appeared in the void.
Light and shadow changed in the black hole. Smoke rose and they could vaguely see a magnificent palace with a strange style and huge and hideous figures of demons. Although it was just an entrance, the thick demonic, bloody, and boundless aura coming from inside made everyone's heart tighten.
Perfected Lord Xuanshu said to the disciples, "The Monster God Temple is open. You can go in now. Remember, the door of the Monster God Temple will close in six months. You must come back before the door closes. "
It was the first time for the disciples of the various sects to come to the Monster God Temple. Although they had heard about it from their teachers many times, they could not help but feel fear after experiencing the terrifying aura of the Monster God Temple.
Kong Haoqiu was the first to walk out and enter the door of the Monster God Temple. He followed closely behind.
Now that someone had taken the lead, the others suddenly came to their senses and no one wanted to be left behind. The group of people crowded around each other and entered the Monster God Temple together.
The door of the Monster God Temple was like a deep well. After the disciples entered, there was only a flash of light and no trace of them could be seen.
Perfected Lord Xuanshu and the other Essence Soul Realm experts watched with solemn expressions. After all the disciples entered, Perfected Lord Xuanshu sighed and said, "The demonic aura in the Monster God Temple is getting thicker. I'm afraid the Monster God will revive in a few hundred years!"
"If the Monster God revives, we will seal it again," Kong Yunxiang said confidently.
Times were different now and the laws of heaven and earth were very different from the ancient times. Although the Monster God was strong, if it really escaped from the Monster God Temple, it might not be able to adapt to the current laws.
Moreover, the ten sects had been around for tens of thousands of years and their forces were all over the world. They also had many Essence Soul Realm experts. Kong Yunxiang felt that even if the Monster God revived, it could be easily killed.
Perfected Lord Xuanshu's face darkened and he did not say anything. He was not so optimistic.
According to the ancient records, these Monster Gods had extraordinary origins. In order to seal the Monster God, they even sacrificed a few Immortal Kings. However, there was no point in talking about such things and it would only cause confusion.
The other Essence Soul Realm experts were not so optimistic either. The Monster God Temple was right there and they could not enter. This showed how powerful the Monster Gods were.
For a moment, the atmosphere was a little gloomy.
Perfected Lord Xuanzhen waved his horsetail whisk and said with a smile, "Immortal Masters from the upper world will plan such a big event. Why don't we guess who will be the champion this time? "
This topic was more interesting and the Essence Soul Realm experts were interested too.
Kong Yunxiang said proudly, "It's not that I'm arrogant, but my junior, Kong Haoqiu, is a peerless genius that appears once in a thousand years. He will definitely ascend to the immortal world in the future. This time, who else will be the champion if not him?! "
Kong Yunxiang's arrogant manner made the Essence Soul Realm experts very unhappy. However, Kong Haoqiu was indeed powerful. Be it cultivation level or wisdom, he was far superior to the other geniuses.
Many Essence Soul realm experts saw this very clearly, but no one dared to challenge Kong Yunxiang.
Perfected Lord Xuanzhen was a gambler. He rolled his eyes and said, "Kong Haoqiu is indeed extraordinary, but the Monster God Temple trial also depends on luck. It doesn't matter who has the highest cultivation level. This old Taoist feels that our sect's Jade Heart Fox's purple aura covers her head and her luck is flourishing. I'm willing to bet a Nine Transformation Golden Pill. "
The Nine Transformation Golden Pill was a Daoist supreme-grade spirit pill. Normally, no matter how serious an injury was, a Nine Transformation Golden Pill could heal it. The Nine Transformations of Yin and Yang could immediately heal any injury. To Essence Soul Realm experts, it was also a top-grade spirit medicine.
Kong Haoqiu was energized when he heard this. He clapped his hands and said decisively, "I'll bet a Level One Morality Sticker."
The Morality Sticker was written by the Morality Sect's powerhouses. It could suppress demons and devils, calm one's nerves and nourish one's Qi, cure diseases and exorcise evil spirits. Those with high comprehension could even comprehend high-level martial arts and spells from it.
The Morality Sticker was divided into nine grades according to its rank. The first grade was the highest and its value was similar to the Nine Transformation Golden Pill.
Perfected Lord Xuanzhen agreed readily, "Alright, it's a deal." He paused and said to the other Essence Soul Realm experts, "Everyone, who else wants to bet?"
Perfected Lord Xuanshu looked at Xuanzhen. This bet was actually very disadvantageous. This was because Jade Heart Fox was obviously at a disadvantage. Her chances of winning were very slim.
However, to Essence Soul Realm powerhouses, these were just worldly possessions. Although it could not be considered a small bet, it was not a serious injury. Xuanshu might be his senior brother but he could not interfere with Xuan Zhen's hobby.
Moreover, Xuan Zhen was good at divination. His Innate Divination was very impressive. Although he could not predict the future, he could always be one step ahead of others. He might not necessarily lose this bet.
A few Essence Soul Realm powerhouses were tempted. They did not believe in heresy. Innate Divination was powerful but it was useless in the Demon God Temple. Many people placed their bets on Kong Haoqiu. Of course, there were also people who placed their bets on their own disciples.
Perfected Lord Xuanzhen did not reject anyone and accepted all the bets with a smile. Perfected Lord Xuanshu could not stand it anymore and reminded him, "There are too many bets, don't go overboard."
"What if I lose because of you …"
Perfected Lord Xuanzhen laughed weirdly and said, "That girl will have to compensate me with her weapon spirit!"
Perfected Lord Xuanzhen wanted to bet but if he lost, he wanted Jade Heart Fox to take responsibility. This was very unreasonable. However, he was an elder and a Essence Soul Realm powerhouse. Even if it was unreasonable, no one dared to say anything.
At this time, Perfected Lord Xuanshu also understood Xuanzhen's plan. He was a little disdainful of such petty tricks but would not interfere.
Treasures were a crime! Who asked Jade Heart Fox to have a precious weapon spirit despite being so weak? It was better for her to be taken away by her own people than by others!
Jade Heart Fox, who was deep in the Demon God Temple, suddenly shivered. Her expression changed slightly as she pinched her fingers and calculated, muttering, "Who wants to harm me?"
Gao Zhengyang glanced at Jade Heart Fox and said curiously, "What's the point of calculating?"
Jade Heart Fox raised her eyebrows and wanted to say, "What do you know!" But when she thought of Gao Zhengyang's identity, she hurriedly lowered her eyes and said honestly, "I have the Innate Star Spirit of the Fate Element. My senses are the most accurate. I will not be wrong."
"I am an Aries, what is your constellation?" Gao Zhengyang asked casually.
