Xiao Hua was so shocked, but some of the voices beside him pulled him out of his shock.
"Brother Wen, I feel that the Sage Selection this time is a bit strange. Let's not talk about how the Heaven and Earth Pagoda opened 63 levels at the beginning, which is far more than the previous 49 levels. Let's talk about the Four Pieces of Ancient Poetry in the preliminary selection, which almost made me lose. Look at the second level of the Sage Selection. A painting from the mortal realm appeared. What's going on?"
"Who knows?"
Another voice said in dissatisfaction, "Such clumsy painting skills, such crude poetry, everything is clear at a glance. How do you expect us to stand out?"
"What do you know?"
The third person sneered and scolded, "The preliminary selection is to eliminate most of the students who are not suitable for the Heaven and Earth Pagoda selection. Naturally, they have to use powerful cursive calligraphy. Now, it's the real selection. Of course, this is only the second level. It's impossible for something that we can't comprehend to appear at the beginning. This is to take care of most of the Earth Immortals of the Shangqing lineage! "
"Hahaha ~"
The first person couldn't help but laugh and said, "Immortals don't have much time left. How can people from the mortal realm know that the Heavenly Court has unlimited time? This is what it means to look at the world with the eyes of ants. What a joke! "
"Haha, that's right ~"
The second person also laughed and said, "Five hundred years is a game of chess. Which one of us didn't play for thousands of years?"
Xiao Hua frowned unhappily. Only then did he see four lines of inscriptions next to the painting.
"Looking at the rotten woodcutter in boredom,
In an instant, grass and flowers bloom.
Five hundred years is a game of chess,
Immortals don't have much time left. "(Inscription: Rotten Woodcutter by Xu Wei, Ming Dynasty)
The four lines of inscriptions were ordinary and the handwriting was good. However, compared to the cursive calligraphy they had just seen, it was too different. It was no wonder that the surrounding students despised them.
Xiao Hua saw that the world around him was beginning to stir. Xiao Hua knew that the world and understanding that belonged to everyone was about to appear. Xiao Hua turned to look. As expected, Gu Yuan also looked confused.
Xiao Hua's eyes turned rapidly, and his gaze fell on the sunlight that filled the picture scroll. He hurriedly said to Gu Yuan, "Gu Yuan, don't look at anything else. Just look at the ray of sunlight above the treetop. Remember that the sun sets in the west, and time is like the past …"
Gu Yuan seemed to have woken up from a dream. He hurriedly bowed to Xiao Hua and said, "Yes, yes, this disciple understands. There are actually traces of the Secret Technique Containing Light here. This disciple thanks Master Xiao!"
"Bullshit Secret Technique of Containing Light ~"
Xiao Hua didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He reminded him again, "This is the evolution of the Light Concealment Secret Technique. It's about comprehension. Start with the Light Concealment Secret Technique, and use the sunset as the theme …"
Unfortunately, before Xiao Hua could finish his words, the surrounding wind and clouds transformed, and Xiao Hua was already in another world.
Xiao Hua had wanted to experience it first, but when he heard Gu Yuan say that every student who had the confidence to pass the Sage Selection would use the Hong Yun of the Heaven and Earth Pagoda to cultivate, he laughed in his heart.
"It's really strange. When the Hong Yun of the Human Race did not appear in the Heaven and Earth Pagoda, it was just an ordinary Hong Yun. What's the difference between it and the outside of the Heaven and Earth Pagoda?
"But now, this world is completely filled with the Hong Yun of time of this picture scroll. If it could be triggered, it would be similar to the Lin Quan and Gao Yi Painting. You guys don't absorb the Hong Yun of the Human Race but instead absorb the Hong Yun of the Heaven and Earth Pagoda. Isn't that like picking up sesame seeds and throwing away watermelons?"
However, this time, Xiao Hua did not dare to be as impulsive as before. He thought for a moment and tried to send out a shadow clone. After all, the shadow clone was not discovered by the Revelation of Heaven Record and the armillary sphere of the same realm during the Elite Selection.
As expected, after the shadow clone appeared, there was nothing unusual in the surroundings.
Feeling his heart skip a beat, Xiao Hua patted his chest and said, "This is the only time. I won't try it again!"
Xiao Hua did not dare to send out more shadow clones. He only let this shadow clone wander around and estimate the time to wake himself up. Then, Xiao Hua immediately sat down cross-legged and activated the Great Void Technique!
Xiao Hua's guess was right, and it was even more magical than Xiao Hua's. Just as Xiao Huagang activated the technique, he felt his eyes light up with a whoosh. The afterglow of the setting sun on the picture scroll broke free and landed on Xiao Hua's time clone.
However, wherever the ray of sunlight passed, the clouds in the surroundings distorted, and the sky changed color. He did not know if Xiao Huazi had already fallen into the picture scroll or if the picture scroll had suddenly covered him. In short, when Xiao Hua's perception changed, he realized that he was already in the picture scroll.
"Great!"
Xiao Hua was overjoyed and immediately activated the Great Void Qi Fusion Technique. However, the ray of sunset began to carve on Xiao Hua's Earth Flower like a brush!
Xiao Hua's Time Subsidiary Body was originally the Three Flowers of Time. When this multicolored light containing the grandeur of time descended, it wasn't just a bit stronger than when it was under the Four Pieces of Ancient Poetry. In just a few hours, that half of the Earth Flower had already begun to take shape.
Xiao Hua was free and unfettered, but the rest of the Heaven and Earth Pagoda was in trouble!
Buzz! Buzz!
The entire fourteenth floor of the Heaven and Earth Pagoda emitted a buzzing sound, and wisps of clouds surged toward the space where Xiao Hua was. The picture scroll in front of the other students lost its color and gradually fell into darkness!
"What … What's going on?"
Not to mention Gu Yuan, even Mu Yun from the White City Academy turned pale with fright.
"Not good!"
The armillary sphere of the same level stood in midair and saw all the Grand Essence of Time surging toward Xiao Hua. He stomped his feet anxiously and shouted, "Old Qiming, are you not going to do anything?"
"I can't be bothered!"
The Record of Revelation stood weakly at the corner of the picture scroll and said gloatingly, "Didn't they say that Xiao Hua controlled me to cheat? I'll prove my innocence and ignore Xiao Hua … "
"What!"
The armillary sphere of the same level was shocked and shouted, "That person from the White Jade Capital asked you to go over just now. Did he say this?"
"That's right!"
The Revelation of Heaven's Record coldly looked at the panicking students in the various spaces and said, "It's their teachers who are all heartless and unscrupulous. I, your father, am doing my best to take care of their disciples and create fairness for them, but they are slandering me outside. Xiao Hua is nothing, how could he control me??"
"I quit! I quit!"
The armillary sphere of the same level was also furious and shouted, "Let Xiao Hua absorb all the Grand Essence of Time and let him go to the next level of the Heaven and Earth Pagoda himself. He did it with his true abilities and didn't cheat at all …"
"And no teacher complained to the Five Great Emperors!"
The Record of Revelation didn't forget to add.
It didn't matter if the Record of Revelation gave up, but it would be troublesome if the armillary sphere of the same level didn't do it. This was because the Grand Essence of Time was controlled by the armillary sphere of the same level in the Heaven and Earth Pagoda. After Xiao Hua absorbed the Grand Essence of Time from the Rotten Ke Tu, he lost the control of the armillary sphere of the same level. The Grand Essence of Time on the fourteenth level of the Heaven and Earth Pagoda was no longer enough. The entire fourteenth level began to tremble, and the sky and earth gradually distorted.
Outside the Heaven and Earth Pagoda, the clouds on the fourteenth level also produced a glaring afterglow of the setting sun. Wherever the afterglow shone, the space was lifted, and ripples that looked like fish scales appeared!
The entire Heaven and Earth Pagoda, from the fourteenth level up, trembled slightly, eroded by the afterglow of the setting sun. There were even some rust spots on the floors!
