"Silence. Everyone, there is no need to be confused. The entire process of this competition will be shown to everyone through the Hanging Sky Mirror. Everyone can watch carefully." Zhou Yu suppressed the chaotic situation and slowly said.
As his voice fell, a burst of dazzling green light appeared behind the statue of the Thousand Armed Guanyin in the square. Seven huge bronze mirrors flickering with green light slowly rose up and floated in mid-air.
Each of the green mirrors reflected a yellow halo and looked even more blurry than the bronze mirrors used in ordinary homes.
But immediately after, Zhou Yu formed a seal with both hands and raised his hand to shoot a green light at the seven tall yellow bronze mirrors one by one.
As the green light flew in, a circular rune was reflected on the surface of the bronze mirrors. Then, a layer of green light lit up from the center of the rune and spread out in all directions. Soon, all the yellow light on the mirrors was swept away.
The halo on the mirrors dissipated and soon, different scenery of mountains and rivers appeared on them.
Among the crowd, many of them were seeing this kind of magic tool for the first time. They couldn't help but feel amazed and exclaim repeatedly.
"What is shown on the Hanging Sky Mirror is the scene of the Hualien Secret Realm. Everyone can use this to watch the performance of each sect's fellow disciples in the secret realm. Next, I'll have to ask Martial Uncle Wei Qing to explain the rules of the competition in detail. "Zhou Yu was very satisfied with everyone's reaction and nodded.
Hearing this, Wei Qing hesitated for a moment before walking forward and saying,
"Fellow Daoists, this Hualien Secret Realm Trial will last for a total of seven days. After the secret realm opens, you will be randomly teleported to the border area of the secret realm. Whoever can pass through the numerous obstacles in the secret realm first and reach the center of the secret realm under the neem tree and take the flag placed there will win."
When Shen Luo and the others heard this, they began to secretly think about the rules mentioned by Wei Qing.
"Martial Uncle Wei, if no one can reach the neem tree after seven days, what will happen?" Lin Qianqian was the first to ask.
"The trial of the secret realm is limited to seven days. If no one wins after seven days, then this competition will end as a failure." Wei Qing slowly said.
"Senior Wei, what if someone doesn't need seven days to reach the Neem Tree in advance and gets the flag? What will happen? Will the trial end early?" Shen Luo asked.
"No, staying in the secret realm for seven days is also a kind of test." Wei Qing shook his head and said.
"In that case, if someone obtains the flag in advance, they must guard the flag and prevent others from snatching it until seven days later?" Shen Luo muttered.
"You're right. That's exactly the case. Also, I must remind you that the person who obtains the flag must stay under the Neem Tree. You must not hide your tracks or escape, "Wei Qing said.
When everyone heard this, their expressions involuntarily changed. They all frowned and began to ponder.
In this way, the Immortal Apricot Meeting this time would be much more difficult than the previous ones. If one wanted to obtain victory, then one didn't just have to compete in every aspect of the Secret Realm and strive to arrive beneath the Neem Tree as soon as possible.
However, once one obtained the flag, it was tantamount to becoming the target of public criticism. One would have to accept the continuous challenges of others. It would naturally become extremely difficult to persist to the end.
Shen Luo was depressed. He even felt that the sudden change in the content of the trial was made by the Azure Lotus Sect Master to target him.
"In the process of the trial, you must act according to your ability. If you encounter danger, don't try to be brave. If there is competition among you, you must not deliberately kill people. Violators will be severely punished. If there is not a fatal crisis, our Mount Putuo will not intervene in the trial. Do you all understand? "Wei Qing rarely spoke so much at once. After he finished speaking, he couldn't help but ask.
"Understood," Shen Luo and others looked at each other and hesitated for a long time before replying in unison.
"Now that the rules have been clarified, we can get ready to start." Wei Qing saw this and nodded to Zhou Yu.
Seeing this, Zhou Yu raised his hand and took off a palm-sized oval-shaped token from his waist. He made a gesture with one hand and pointed at the token, injecting a strand of spiritual power into it.
Immediately afterward, the oval-shaped token flashed, and a silver array pattern spread from it, turning into a three feet square virtual light image. There were bursts of strange fluctuations coming from it.
Then, he raised his hand and threw the token into the air, flying above the lotus pond. The virtual light image emitted from it expanded several times again, covering a cluster of lotus flowers in the middle of the pond.
Shen Luo looked over and found that the lotus flower was very different from the others. The pink petals seemed to be inlaid with a circle of golden lines, painting the whole lotus flower with a golden edge. All the petals showed a jade-like feeling under the virtual light image, which was very extraordinary.
With the strange appearance of this lotus flower, the virtual light image covering it began to solidify little by little. Finally, it turned into a circular entrance with a radius of ten feet. There were bursts of slightly undulating cyan light inside.
"Fellow Daoists, please enter immediately," Zhou Yu ordered.
The Taoist nun of Tai Ying Temple, whose name Shen Luo still did not know, was the first to jump directly into the passage. She was swallowed by the cyan light and disappeared.
Green Lotus Temple's Dhuta Ku Lin and Mount Jiuhua's Zen Master Chuan Yue followed closely behind and flew into the passage.
"Everyone, I'll go first." Lin Qianqian said with a smile and flew into the passage.
"Senior Sister Lin, wait for me." Zheng Jun rose from the ground and chased after her.
Only Shen Luo and the other two were left. They looked at each other. Although they knew that even if they entered together, they would be teleported to different areas, they still flew in together.
"Be careful."
Shen Luo subconsciously instructed Nie Caizhu. Before he could get a response, his eyes were filled with light that was getting brighter and brighter, and he couldn't see anything.
He only felt a huge force tugging at the air and his body was involuntarily deviated in a direction. Soon, he could no longer sense the presence of Nie Caizhu and Bai Xiaotian beside him.
However, soon, the blinding light began to shrink and darken little by little. Shen Luo immediately felt that his body was falling rapidly. Before he could summon the Pure Yang Sword Embryo, his feet had already landed on the ground.
"Puff!" A soft sound was heard.
Shen Luo's feet were cold. He then realized that he had landed in a swamp.
As far as the eye could see, the area within a radius of several hundred meters was almost entirely filled with pools of water of various sizes. They were all dark and bubbling with white bubbles from time to time.
As for the places further away, they were all covered by a layer of pale white fog. It was impossible to see clearly.
He raised his hand and made a gesture. With a wave of his hand, the water in the pool began to gather and turned into a thick transparent anaconda. It lifted its head and lifted Shen Luo from the ground.
