The Heaven and Earth Pagoda's Sage Selection was different from the Five Great Forbidden Grounds' Elite Selection. The Heaven and Earth Pagoda had a total of 108 levels. Every Sage Selection would open up a different number of levels based on the results of the previous Sage Selection.
In every round of the Sage Selection, the works of the Celestial Court's predecessors would appear. They could be poems, calligraphy, or paintings. In short, every work had the unique charm of the Celestial Court.
After the Chosen Ones stepped into a certain level of the Heaven and Earth Pagoda, if there was a similar Hong Yun in the Hong Yun of the Three Flowers, then they would pass the level directly. If there wasn't, then they would have to comprehend the works of the Chosen Ones, and from there, they would be able to comprehend the edicts or restrictions approved by the Heaven and Earth Pagoda. If they couldn't get the approval, the Heaven and Earth Pagoda wouldn't directly eliminate them, and the Chosen Ones could continue to comprehend.
However, when the number of people who passed the selection met the requirements for the Selection of Sages, all the Candidates who were not recognized by the Heaven and Earth Pagoda would be eliminated! Of course, in some areas, other than satisfying the requirements, they also had to compete with each other.
Furthermore, even if the Chosen One was recognized by the Heaven and Earth Pagoda, if the Written Edict or Literary Restriction was not compatible enough with the Heavenly Court's unique Hong Yun, the Heaven and Earth Pagoda would still produce a repulsive force. If this force accumulated too much, the Chosen One would still be kicked out of the Heaven and Earth Pagoda.
Of course, this was not the strangest part. What made Xiao Hua's expression change greatly was that Wen Qu only had an impression of the first 35 stages of the Sage Selection, and her impression was becoming increasingly vague. As for what happened after the 36th stage of the Sage Selection, Wen Qu had no recollection of it at all. He didn't even know why he was eliminated, or which stage he was eliminated in …
Not only Wen Qu, but all the students who had participated in the Sage Selection, even the final victors, and even the students who had obtained the title of Sage of Literature, did not know why they had won!
"Damn it!"
When Xiao Hua saw this, he couldn't help but curse in a low voice. "No wonder that bastard Wenqu instigated Xiao to participate in the Sage Selection. So it turns out that he saw Xiao take the Minor Three Yuan of the Tianqi Selection and felt that it was unfair. He wanted to make Xiao suffer!"
"The Sage's Selection tests the Three Flowers' Grand Rhythm. Furthermore, it's the unique Grand Rhythm drawn by the Heavenly Court's predecessors. Then, any Grand Rhythm, Poetic Rhythm, Ci Rhythm, and so on can all be added into the Grand Rhythm. How can Xiao have these Grand Rhythms? Xiao can only comprehend these grand rhythms and then draw the Literary Seal. How high can the Literary Seal's compatibility be?! "
"Moreover, Xiao's Three Flowers are now in the Time Child. The Time Child can't leave his physical body. Xiao's physical body is at the level of Dao Immortal Origin. No matter how hidden the Origin Power is, it will still be repelled by the Heaven and Earth Pagoda's Hong Yun …"
"That is to say, from the first floor of the Heaven and Earth Pagoda, Xiao will have to go all out. And the higher he goes, the stronger the repulsive force of the Heaven and Earth Pagoda will be. Xiao will not only have to fight the Confucian Immortal, but also the Heaven and Earth Pagoda!"
"If Xiao is not careful, he will be sent out of the Heaven and Earth Pagoda and fail in the Sage Selection!"
"Not to mention becoming a literary saint!"
"If I can separate the Time Sub Body, this won't be a problem at all …"
"Also, what's the secret of the Sage Selection? Why would it erase everyone's memory?"
Xiao Hua sat on the Fairy boat and thought hard for a long time, but still couldn't find a way. In the end, he simply stopped thinking about it. He took out the Forest Spring High Altitude Painting and went directly to the Green Willow Forest on the third floor.
His physical body was still in the forest, but his mind was in the hollow of the Green Willow Forest.
Xiao Hua had already comprehended the [Great Nine Syllables of the Absolute Beginning], but he didn't have the chance to cultivate it. Now that he was going to participate in the Sage Selection, he still wanted to make a last-minute effort.
Unfortunately, White Jade Capital was too close. Xiao Huagang cultivated for ten thousand years, and Qiao Lunhui's call came from outside the Forest Spring High Altitude Painting …
In the Yellow City, a huge pagoda stood in a space. In this space, the sun and the moon were in the sky, and the clouds covered the sky. Under the huge pagoda, there was yellow soil as the foundation and mountains as the roots. On the five sides of the huge pagoda, there were five cloud paths condensed by clouds.
These clouds were of different colors. They were khaki, silvery-white, crimson, black, and aquamarine. Except for the khaki cloud path that directly landed at the edge of Huang City, the other four paths all meandered into the void. Obviously, they were leading to the other four cities.
At this moment, on each cloud path, there were human figures stepping in from time to time, slowly flying towards the huge pagoda.
In the sky above the Five Phoenix Pavilion in the Yellow City, there was also a huge pagoda shadow. However, this huge pagoda shadow didn't have any cloud paths. Only the 108 floors of the pagoda could be seen clearly.
"What's going on?"
In front of the Five Phoenix Pavilion, the new dean of the Yellow City Academy, Zhu Ying, looked at the huge pagoda that was emitting golden light in the distance and asked curiously, "It's already so late. Why hasn't the Literature Song Sacred Palace opened the Heaven and Earth Pagoda?"
"That's right ~"
The dean of the Jiangjin Academy, Fan Yongru, was also a little anxious. "The students of the academy have already arrived in front of the Heaven and Earth Pagoda. At this moment, we don't even know how many floors have been opened. What is Lord Kong doing?"
"Ten thousand years ago, the previous Sage Selection opened 49 floors, right?"
Zhu Ying held his chin and looked at the golden light of the Heaven and Earth Pagoda. He said thoughtfully, "Could it be that it will be less than 49 floors this time?"
"It's possible ~"
Fan Yongru thought for a moment and nodded. "Because in the past, whenever they wanted to increase the number of floors, it would always open when the Heaven and Earth Pagoda appeared."
"Then it's no wonder ~"
Zhu Ying smiled bitterly. "If the number of floors is reduced, the number of people who pass the preliminaries will be greatly reduced. The Literature Song Sacred Palace also has to be careful. This is the first time I've brought students to participate in the Sage Selection, and I've already encountered such a situation. My luck is really bad! "
Fan Yongru looked at Zhu Ying. During the Heavenly Court's Elite Selection, the bet between the Yellow City Academy and the Heavenly Book Academy was still fresh in her mind. Because the Heavenly Book Academy had Xiao Hua's help, their results were unprecedentedly brilliant. The Yellow City Academy was defeated, and the dean of the academy, Jiang Yuanming, resigned from his position as dean. This gave Zhu Ying the chance to become the dean of the academy. And this time, Zhu Ying personally brought students to participate in the Sage Selection.
Thus, Fan Yongru smiled and said, "Compared to Dean Jiang, your luck is much better. This time, no matter what, Xiao Wenzong will not participate in the Sage Selection."
"Hehe ~"
Zhu Ying smiled and said, "I actually hope that he will participate in the Sage Selection this time, so that he can see the true strength of our Yellow City Academy!"
"Dean Zhu, you're thinking too much ~"
Fan Yongru secretly curled her lips, but she still said, "The Sage Selection this time has only been five thousand years since Xiao Wenzong left the Heaven and Earth Pagoda. Even if Xiao Wenzong stepped into the Shangqing Earth Immortal realm, he would at most be a second-stage Earth Immortal. How could he be a match for a third-stage Earth Immortal from your academy? Not to mention that Xiao Wenzong has been missing for many years … "
Fan Yongru had just said this when a yellow cloud rose to the sky from the Yellow City. On the cloud, Kong Xu stood with a scroll in his hands. The cloud flew across the sky, revealing three dragons.
"Roar, roar, roar ~"
The three dragons flew to the front of the Heaven and Earth Pagoda, roared, and rushed to the top of the pagoda.
"They're coming, they're coming ~"
Zhu Ying quickly interrupted Fan Yongru and said with a smile, "The Hetu Mountain appointed by His Majesty himself!"
After the three dragons rushed to the top of the pagoda with the cloud, they circled around and then retreated into the cloud. As for Kong Xu, he held the scroll in his hands and bowed to the four directions. Then, he waved his hand and opened the scroll.
When the scroll was opened, it was the Painting of Mountains and Rivers.
"Boom, boom, boom ~"
Around the space where the Heaven and Earth Pagoda was, the mysteries of heaven were immediately affected. Innate Qi poured toward the Painting of Mountains and Rivers. Various colors and fates rushed into the Heaven and Earth Pagoda like rivers in the sky. Dazzling golden light shone everywhere!
"Swish, swish, swish ~"
Around the Heaven and Earth Pagoda, the originally ethereal clouds began to surge. Layers of the pagoda were lit up in the flashing golden light!
"One, two, three …"
Not to mention Fan Yongru, even Zhu Ying could not help but count along with the flashing light of the pagoda!
This kind of stupid action was obviously disdained by the cultivators of the mortal world. But now, these immortals of the Heavenly Court were overjoyed because this was related to how many people could pass the initial selection of the Sage Selection!
"Forty-nine, fifty …"
Fan Yongru exclaimed, "President Zhu, it's over fifty!"
"Fifty-six ~"
Zhu Ying also exclaimed, "Why are there so many?"
In the end, a total of sixty-three floors of the pagoda were lit up. Everyone was stunned!
"My … My God ~"
Not to mention them, even Kong Xu, who was standing on top of the Heaven and Earth Pagoda, had his eyeballs fall out. He exclaimed in a low voice, "Why are there so many floors of the pagoda being lit up? What does His Majesty mean by this? "
