Xiao Hua looked at Li Fanqing with disdain. He moved his body and flew up without looking back.
However, just as he flew up, he suddenly realized that out of the 1049 Earth Flowers he had just engraved, nearly 220,000 of them were imprisoned!
"Eh?"
Xiao Huayu was puzzled and thought, "What's going on?"
Then, he carefully examined for a moment and did not find anything strange. It was as if the imprisonment was natural.
"It's a little strange."
Xiao Hua looked around and said curiously, "Could it be done by the Heaven and Earth Pagoda?"
However, Xiao Hua did not have time to think too much. Boom! Boom! The majestic voice of the Revelation of Heaven Revelation sounded in the sky again. "Students, congratulations on passing the preliminary test and reaching the second stage of the Heaven and Earth Pagoda's Sage Selection. After half an hour, the second stage of the Sage Selection will begin. Please be prepared!"
"The first stage of the preliminary test is the Four Pieces of Ancient Poetry."
Xiao Hua looked at the sky and saw the stars gradually appearing. His eyes lit up and he was looking forward to it.
At this moment, from where Xiao Huagang had just flown over, there was another sound of breaking air.
Xiao Huayu looked at it with some annoyance and was about to dodge when a surprised voice sounded. "Teacher Xiao, it's really you!"
"Oh?"
Xiao Hua stopped and looked at the person who came. He said with some surprise, "It's Wen You from the Heavenly Book Academy."
The person who came was somewhat familiar. In Xiao Hua's memory, he should be a student of the Heavenly Book Academy. However, Xiao Huazi did not know his name.
The student flew over with a surprised expression. Before Xiao Hua could finish speaking, he hurriedly bowed and said, "Disciple Gu Yuan greets Teacher Xiao!"
"You're too polite."
Seeing that this disciple named Gu Yuan was also a second-stage Earth Immortal, Xiao Hua knew that Gu Yuan should be a famous student of the Heavenly Book Academy. He hurriedly helped Gu Yuan up and said with a smile, "Xiao has already left the academy. I don't deserve the title of Teacher Xiao."
"A teacher for a day is a teacher for life ~"
Gu Yuan was still very respectful as he said, "Teacher Xiao left behind a secret realm in my Heavenly Book Academy. Countless students of the Heavenly Book Academy have benefited from it. Therefore, Teacher Xiao will forever be the Teacher Xiao of my Heavenly Book Academy."
Xiao Huagang had just been bullied by Li Fanqing and the others, and now he was being treated with respect by Gu Yuan. Even if he was a Primordial Dao Immortal, he could not help but feel happy. He smiled and asked, "Why are you nearby? Did you also just enter the second round of the Sage Selection?"
"Yes, Teacher Xiao ~"
Gu Yuan hurriedly replied, "According to this disciple's strength, if it wasn't for the fact that the Heaven and Earth Pagoda's 63rd floor had been opened, this disciple definitely wouldn't have been able to pass the preliminaries …"
"That's strange."
Xiao Hua looked at Gu Yuan and asked, "Since you know you can't pass, why did you still participate?"
Awkwardness appeared on Gu Yuan's face and he said in a low voice, "Master Xiao, I have already passed the Elite Selection, but I did not dare to participate in the Sage Selection because my strength has been hovering around the Second Grade of the Shangqing Earth Immortal, unable to break through for a long time."
"It was also because of Master Xiao that I had the opportunity to enter the Secret Realm to cultivate, that I was able to reach the Ninth Grade of the Second Grade of the Shangqing Earth Immortal …"
"To tell you the truth, Master Xiao, I also wanted to wait, but I know that my talent is limited. I am afraid that I can only be a Shangqing Earth Immortal for the rest of my life. As time passes, my ambition will be obliterated, and I won't even dare to participate in the Sage Selection."
"Mm ~"
Xiao Hua nodded and said, "Then Xiao understands. This is your only chance. Do your best!"
"Master Xiao ~"
Gu Yuan looked at Xiao Hua, and his face flushed red. He seemed to have mustered up his courage and said in a low voice, "You … you don't have to worry about your ranking in the preliminaries. This disciple knows … knows Master Xiao's background and strength. Even if you can't become the Sage of Literature, in the eyes of us Heavenly Book Academy disciples, you are still … the true Sage of Literature!"
Xiao Hua was touched by Gu Yuan's encouragement. He patted Gu Yuan's shoulder and said, "Thank you, Xiao will remember it."
"Mm, mm ~"
Gu Yuan looked even more excited than Xiao Hua. He nodded vigorously and said, "You have to do your best too!"
"Oh, right ~"
Xiao Hua remembered something and asked hurriedly, "You should know a lot about the Sage Selection, right?"
"Mm, mm ~"
Gu Yuan nodded like a chick pecking rice and said, "This disciple prepared a lot for the Sage Selection. Master Xiao, if you have any questions, please ask."
"Why is it that no one remembers what the Sage Selection is after the Sage Selection?"
"This ~"
Gu Yuan was dumbfounded when he heard this. He did not hesitate at all and answered, "To tell you the truth, this disciple has never thought about it!"
"Haha ~"
Xiao Hua understood and said with a smile, "Is it because you know that you can't pass the Sage Selection?"
"Yes."
Gu Yuan's face was red, but he still nodded and answered with certainty.
"Alright then ~"
Xiao Hua did not ask any more questions. He looked at the starry sky and knew that the Heavenly Revelation Record was about to select the Hongyun, so he said, "Follow Xiao. When the Hongyun appears, perhaps Xiao can help you!"
Gu Yuan did not dare to believe Xiao Hua's words, but he still smiled and said, "Yes, this disciple understands!"
"Everyone ~"
Sure enough, the Heavenly Revelation Record's voice sounded. "The second round of the Sage Selection is about to begin. You wait …"
Hearing this, Xiao Hua's heart suddenly moved again. He hurriedly asked Gu Yuan, "Oh right, Gu Yuan, did you feel it? From the first round of the Sage Selection to here, are your Three Flowers somewhat restrained? "
"Ah?"
Gu Yuan was shocked and hurriedly checked. After a moment, he shook his head and said, "No, Master Xiao ~"
"Oh, oh ~"
Xiao Huayu was a little disappointed. After nodding, he prepared to listen carefully to the Heavenly Revelation Record's words. At that moment, the students' voices were deafening. "Yes, we are ready …"
"Oh, I remember now ~"
Gu Yuan also hurriedly said, "Master Xiao, some people have said that during the selection in the Heavenly Pagoda, one's Wen Qi cannot be replenished in time. Therefore, many students who are confident that they can pass the Sage Selection will pay attention to the use of their Wen Qi from the beginning. Every time they pass a level, they will immediately cultivate on a new level. However, this is in the later stages of the Sage Selection. It won't appear now!"
"Hehe ~"
After hearing this, Xiao Hua laughed in his heart. How was this only in the later stages of the Sage Selection? It clearly began in the second round. However, others had Three Petal Earth Flowers, and the Heavenly Pagoda did not restrict many of them. Others could not sense it. Only he, who had a hundred million Earth Flowers, could sense it.
As Xiao Hua came to a realization, the Heavenly Revelation Record once again raised his hand and grabbed at the air. Another star fell into his hand.
Then, the Heavenly Revelation Record's gaze swept across the students. With a wave of his hand, a golden light flashed. He shouted, "Let's go ~"
Whoosh ~
This time, it was different from the Four Pieces of Ancient Poetry. After the golden light flashed, there was no Lei Ming's voice. There was only a flash of light like the setting sun, and a picture scroll fell into the air.
"Woo ~"
As if there was a sudden wind, the picture scroll slowly unfurled in the air. The light of the setting sun slowly spread across the sky.
As the picture scroll unfurled, Xiao Hua was completely stunned. Seeing everything in front of him, he felt that he could not even breathe.
It was a picture scroll that was yellowed. On the picture scroll was a seemingly leisurely scene.
On the picture scroll, an ancient tree that could not be seen took up half of the space. The ancient tree was painted with thick ink, like graffiti. But in between the graffiti, there was a ray of sunlight that pierced through. It looked dim and then lit up the whole picture scroll.
Under the big tree, there was an irregular boulder. There were three people around the boulder. Two boys were casually sitting on the two sides of the boulder. In the middle of the boulder was a chessboard. On the chessboard, the black and white pieces were blurry. As for the third person, he was standing on one side of the boulder. He was looking at the chessboard with his head tilted. Next to this person, there was an axe with a rotten handle that was also blurry.
"How … How is this possible??"
Xiao Hua's gaze fell on the picture scroll and immediately fell onto the handle of the axe. He almost exclaimed in his heart, "There … There is someone who can leave time on a picture scroll? What … What kind of painting skill is this?! What kind of Tianchen Hong Fan Silk can bear such a grand rhythm?? "
"No, this is definitely not Tianchen Hong Fan Silk. This should be the Turtle of Ten Friends!"
"The Turtle of Ten Friends is the Divine Turtle, the Spirit Turtle, the Absorbing Turtle, the Treasure Turtle, the Scholar Turtle, the Turtle of Five Friends, the Turtle of Six Friends, the Mountain Turtle of Seven Friends, the Turtle of Eight Friends, the Turtle of Nine Friends, and the Turtle of Ten Friends. This Turtle of Ten Friends is a painting of the Immemorial Heavenly Court's treasure. "
"This is just the second round of the Sage Selection, and the Turtle of Ten Friends has appeared. Oh my god, this is the real Sage Selection of the Heavenly Court!"
