"Medicinal pellets? It's already good enough for a commoner like me to have enough to eat, how can I afford to eat only medicinal pellets? "
Zhong Yue shook his head, he picked up the copper lamp and prepared to return to Swords Gate. Suddenly, he stopped and turned back. Xin Huo looked at him curiously, Zhong Yue took out the hoe from the herb basket and spent half an hour digging a hole. He then bowed to the skeleton and invited it into the hole. He then filled the hole with soil and bowed again before leaving with the copper lamp.
Xin Huo looked at Zhong Yue in the copper lamp and praised him. He then quietly waited for Zhong Yue to finish his work. Seeing Zhong Yue hanging the copper lamp in front of his chest and climbing up the cliff, he couldn't help but say, "You are a celestial, you can't even fly, and you have to walk on your own two legs, what a disgrace to the celestial race! The pure-blooded celestial race is born with the ability to fly with just a flick of their tail. "
Zhong Yue climbed up the cliff, he laughed and said, "I don't have a tail, and I'm not a celestial, of course I can't fly."
Xin Huo jumped out from the copper lamp, he walked on Zhong Yue's clothes and touched his tailbone, he shook his head and said, "You have a tail, it's just that it hasn't grown out yet. The Fuxi celestial race I've met before all had a snake tail, why didn't your tail grow out? You don't believe me? Then touch your buttocks and see if there's any trace of your tailbone. "
Zhong Yue touched his buttocks and as expected, he touched his tailbone, his heart thumped.
Could it be that we humans are really the descendants of the Fuxi celestial race? Impossible, we humans are weak, we can be said to be the weakest among the races, how could we be the descendants of the most honorable royal race among the celestial race?
He recollected his thoughts and climbed up the cliff. With Xin Huo and the copper lamp, the black mist couldn't penetrate through. Soon, Zhong Yue reached the top of the cliff, he looked around and saw the black mist shrouding the world.
"Xin Huo, can you see what's in the black mist?"
"You are a celestial race, yet you don't know how to use your divine eyes … Oh right, your divine eyes have degenerated. Touch the space between your eyebrows. Is it slightly sunken? That is the third eye of the Fuxi celestial race, the location of the divine eye! "
Zhong Yue touched his forehead, and sure enough, there was a sunken spot on his forehead. He became even more suspicious and thought, The Sui Sovereign in the 【Sui Sovereign Flame Order Palace Visualization Art】 also has a third eye, could it be that the human race also has a third eye?
The copper lamp shone brighter and brighter, and the distance was getting further and further. The black haze was extremely thick, but this light seemed to be able to pierce through all the haze.
Zhong Yue followed the light and looked around, his heart was filled with shock.
A gigantic foot descended from the sky and stepped into the deep valley. This foot had no flesh and only bones. It was white and eerie, and was about half an acre in size!
He looked up and saw a skeleton giant standing in the dark haze in front of him. Its body was covered in tattered armor that was covered in rust. It was mottled as if it had been corroded by thousands of years of time.
All of a sudden, a tattered flag glided past Zhong Yue and fluttered in the air. Then, one after another, huge skeletal feet descended from the sky and walked silently in the black smoke. These skeletal feet were much taller than Zhong Yue!
All of a sudden, a tattered flag silently glided past Zhong Yue and fluttered in the air. Then, one after another, huge skeletal feet descended from the sky and walked in the dark haze. These feet were much taller than Zhong Yue!
Many more White Bone Giants floated up from the ground and joined the White Bone Army, but the ground was not damaged at all.
These skeletons were covered with totem carvings that didn't fade away even after the passage of time. It was as if they didn't have a real body, they would pass through mountains, tread on water, and follow behind the banners in the air. Only when they encountered living beings would they suck their flesh and blood away!
Then, there were more and more skeletal giants and beasts. However, they were too far away and Zhong Yue could not see them clearly. He could only see the flickering ghostly flames that were the eyes of the skeletal giants and the skeletal giants!
Further away, there were more and more skeletal giants and beasts. However, they were too far away for Zhong Yue's eyes to see clearly. He could only see the ghostly flames that were dancing in the air. Those were the eyes of the skeletal giants and the skeletal giants!
The Swords Gate Mountain was originally lush and green, but now, it had turned into a demonic realm filled with ghosts and spirits!
"These are the devil souls, the devil souls formed by the lingering resentment of the gods after their deaths!"
In the lantern, Xin Huo whispered, "The resentment is so strong, something earth-shattering must have happened here for these guys to have such strong resentment. Moreover, what were the souls of these dead Fiendgods searching for? These fellows are still looking for something after they died, so it must be some amazing treasure! "
Zhong Yue was shocked, "They are the celestial race?"
"There are the celestial race and the demon race, but most of them are the low-level celestial race. Only the Fuxi, Nuwa, Huaxu, and Yanzi races are the real celestial emperors, their bloodline is the noblest. You have the bloodline of the Fuxi celestial race in you, but it is too thin. You are not even comparable to these dead gods. You are not suitable to inherit Xin Huo, or else, you would be the inheritor of this generation's Xin Huo. "
Zhong Yue identified the direction and walked towards the Swords Gate Mountain.
When he walked out of the Juyun Mountain, the devil souls in the gloomy haze had already dispersed. Half a day later, the gloomy haze had also disappeared.
As the gloomy haze dispersed, Xin Huo in the lantern also stopped talking. These few days, Zhong Yue did not feel lonely even though he had this strange little living being as his companion. Suddenly, Xin Huo stopped talking, Zhong Yue was not used to it.
He lifted up the lampshade and saw that Xin Huo had disappeared from the wick, leaving behind only a small flame the size of a finger.
"Xin Huo, are you still there?" Zhong Yue shook the strange lantern and asked.
"Don't disturb me."
The flame swayed and Xin Huo's finger-sized head could be vaguely seen. He yawned and said, "I've been fighting against the black haze for the past few days, I need to rest. I have to find the inheritor of Xin Huo as soon as possible and reside in his soul. Otherwise, I won't be able to hold on for more than a few years. I've slept for too long, I'm not as good as before …. "
He then went back to sleep. Zhong Yue thought for a while and placed the lantern in the herb basket, covered it with herbs and walked into the Swords Gate Mountain.
The outer hall disciples, those who have cultivated the Soul Ejection Realm and those who haven't are treated very differently. Those who have cultivated the Soul Ejection Realm will live in the upper house and receive ten Yuling Pellets every month. The cultivation techniques they will be taught will also be more profound! I have to go to the outer hall's Cloudless Hall first, pass the test, and raise my treatment!
Zhong Yue went straight to the Cloudless Hall, the test of the Soul Ejection Realm was only held once a month. Today was the day of the test, if he missed it, he would have to wait until next month.
There were more than 50,000 outer hall disciples. Zhong Yue's disappearance for three days did not attract any attention from the Swords Gate. For an insignificant person like him who came from a small tribe like the Zhong Shan Tribe, even if he died outside, no one would care.
I can't use the 【Sui Sovereign Flame Order Palace Visualization Art】 that Xin Huo taught me. I can only use the 【Swords Gate Visualization Art】, I wonder if I can achieve the Soul Ejection Realm with this technique?
Zhong Yue was a little worried. The Swords Gate valued the heritage very much, if he was discovered to be cultivating something other than the Swords Gate's cultivation technique, it would be a small matter if he was expelled from the Swords Gate.
When he reached the Cloudless Hall, he saw more than a hundred outer hall disciples gathered there, waiting for the test. There were a few outer hall disciples holding totem pillars in their hands, on which there were strange carvings drawn with the blood of mutated beasts.
The totem pillars were the godly pillars used by the human tribes in the Great Wilderness. They had a miraculous effect on nourishing the soul and cultivating the visualization art would be much easier.
Those who were qualified to hold the totem pillars were the upper-class families in the tribe.
Only Qi Practitioners could forge such totem pillars, hence, only the tribes with Qi Practitioners would have them. The spirit that the Qi Practitioners cultivated was also a kind of totem, called the totem spirit, meaning the spirit of the totem.
The spirit and the totem were closely related. There was a tribe where the totem spirit of the Qi Practitioner was a Xuan Tortoise, hence, the whole tribe worshipped the Xuan Tortoise as their totem. The totem spirit of the Xuan Tortoise was also worshipped by the tribe, and to a certain extent, the Qi Practitioner's cultivation base was enhanced.
As for the tribes without any Qi Practitioners, they would naturally not have the totem pillars. The Zhong Shan Tribe that Zhong Yue came from was the smallest tribe, of course, they would not have the totem pillars.
Just as Zhong Yue reached the Cloudless Hall, a commotion could be heard, people were shouting, "Someone died!"
"Someone was beaten to death in the assessment, and his soul was destroyed!"
Zhong Yue's heart thumped, he saw two men in white carrying the body of a young man out of the Cloudless Hall, it was the outer disciple who died in the test.
This scene made the hearts of the outer disciples tense up, the test of the soul out of the body was extremely harsh, just having the soul out of the body was not enough to pass the test, the strength of the soul and combat awareness were also tested, there were many dangerous parts, a slight mistake could result in injuries!
In fact, it was common for people to lose their lives!
Outside of the Cloudless Hall, the outer disciples who came for the test felt uneasy, they had all heard that there were deaths in the Cloudless Hall test, but hearing about it and seeing it with their own eyes was different, the impact on their hearts was stronger, many of them could not help but feel nervous, they even had the thought of retreating.
Zhong Yue strode forward, he thought, The Dao of cultivation, is all about bravery, if the heart is defeated, then everything will be lost, what is the point of cultivation?
In front of the Cloudless Hall, the white-robed old man in charge of the hall looked down, as if he did not see Zhong Yue's arrival, he said indifferently, "Which clan are you from?"
"Zhong Shan Tribe, Zhong Shan Clan, Zhong Yue!"
The white-robed old man raised his head, he looked at Zhong Yue, "Go in. Next! Which clan are you from? "
"Wei River Tribe, Shui Tu Clan, Shui Qingyan."
Zhong Yue walked into the Cloudless Hall, suddenly, he heard a pleasant voice coming from behind, "Zhong Yue? Brother Yue of the Zhong Shan Clan? Is it really you? I haven't seen you for a few days, how did you become so thin? "
Zhong Yue turned his head, he saw a young lady following closely behind him into the Cloudless Hall, the young lady was also thirteen or fourteen years old, her skin was fair and beautiful, she wore a white fur hat on her head, her eyes were clear like water, her whole person carried an elegant fragrance, a small totem god pillar on her back, she walked quickly to his side, she said happily, "It's really you! A few days ago when I went to look for you, you were not around, I thought something happened to you, I was scared to death! How did you become so thin? I almost couldn't recognize you just now …. "
