"The problem is …"
The armillary sphere frowned and said, "He has already passed the second stage, but what if he is delayed like the last time?"
"I don't think so."
The Record of Revelation smiled and said, "Do you still remember those countless clones in the Elite Selection?"
"Oh, you mean he has already released his clones?"
The armillary sphere asked curiously, "Why didn't I see them?"
"This is the Heaven and Earth Pagoda, baldy."
The Record of Revelation said angrily, "It's not one of the five forbidden areas. How can you see them? He didn't understand the preliminary selection, but now he knows the rules. How can he be late? If I'm not wrong, he would have already released his clones to explore the surroundings … "
"Alright."
The armillary sphere, which was in the same realm as Xiao Hua, agreed. It no longer paid any attention to Xiao Hua and went to another place.
Xiao Hua didn't know any of this. He spent some time slowly comprehending it. By the time the voice of the armillary sphere faintly sounded in his ears, Xiao Hua had already gained a lot.
"Cough, cough."
Of course, the armillary sphere couldn't mention Xiao Hua's name. Instead, it coughed far away. "Many people have passed the second stage of the Sage Selection. The Heaven and Earth Pagoda is also free. If someone wants to refine the three flowers, it might be possible …"
Xiao Hua laughed in his heart, but he didn't say anything. He came out of seclusion and took back his time clone. Then, he spent a few years condensing his comprehension into a secret realm.
Looking at everything in front of him, he was quite pleased.
The afterglow of the setting sun was the result of his comprehension of the Light Concealment Secret Technique. The chess piece was the result of the Yin and Yang Grand Rhythm. The small star was naturally the Starry Grand Rhythm Secret Realm. The thing that looked like the Eight Trigrams with black and white flowing inside was naturally the Grand Rhythm Secret Realm.
There was also a dark cloud, which was the condensation of the Grand Rhythm of Darkness. This was Xiao Hua's biggest gain in the second stage of the Sage Selection.
"The inheritance of the human race is indeed amazing."
Xiao Hua kept the various Secret Realms and sighed in his heart. Then, he hurriedly activated the Great Void Technique and began to cultivate. With the Armillary Sphere of the same cultivation level as him, he should not attract too much trouble!
Strangely, Xiao Hua's shadow body returned after carving the fiftieth petal of the Earth Flower. According to his estimation, it was about time. If he continued to cultivate, he might exceed the time limit.
Hence, Xiao Hua hurriedly retracted his technique and took out the Afterglow of the Setting Sun that contained the secret technique. Just as he was about to speak, there was a buzzing sound all around them. Lei Ming's voice and the Revelation of Heaven's Revelation's voice rang out, "Students, the number of candidates for the second round of selection is sufficient. Students who have not been acknowledged by the Heaven and Earth Pagoda will be eliminated!"
"Senior ~"
Xiao Hua panicked. He hurriedly raised the sunlight in his hand and shouted, "Junior, this …"
"Haha ~"
Armillary Sphere, who was at the same level, laughed and threw the chessboard to Xiao Hua. Then, he said, "Old Qiming is just teasing you. Your Secret Realm of Chess Rhythm has already met the requirements for the Sage Selection!"
"Haha, thank you very much ~"
Xiao Hua was overjoyed. He took the chessboard and bowed to the sky.
"Let's go ~"
Armillary Sphere, who was at the same level, urged, "Old Zhaoming allowed you to pass, but he also placed you at the end of the second round."
"It's okay, it's okay ~"
Xiao Hua chuckled as he stepped into the cloud path. He said, "As long as I pass, I will be the last!"
Xiao Hua had entered the third round of the Sage Selection, which was the fifteenth level of the Heaven and Earth Pagoda. Outside the Heaven and Earth Pagoda, there was an uproar again.
In front of the Black City Five Phoenix Pavilion, Wu Dai from the Black City Academy was holding a wine bottle and drinking with a few good friends. After all, his proud disciple, Yao Zheng, was in the top ten of the second round.
"Buzzing ~"
When the Heaven Trampling List vibrated and the light on the second level extinguished, a familiar name once again flew up to the third level like a firefly. Wu Dai could not help but exclaim, "What's going on? Xiao Wenzong is the last again? "
"What else can it be?"
Those who could drink with Wu Dai were naturally not ordinary Confucian Immortals. South Foothill Academy's Dean Shen Yue sneered and said, "Xiao Wenzong has run out of ideas. He can still enter the next round with his tail hanging. After the tenth round, just wait and see. He will definitely not pass!"
"Haha, that's true ~"
Wu Dai raised his cup and said, "No matter what, he is still a Dao Immortal clone. How can he be compared to Yao Zheng and Fu Ying? After all, they have been immersed in the literature of the Heavenly Court since they were young. Only such students can be like fish in water in the Heaven and Earth Pagoda! Come, let's have a drink ~ "
"Hehe ~"
After Shen Yue finished his cup, he took out a jade coin and said with a smile, "I will bet with Dean Wu that Xiao Wenzong will not make it to the tenth round!"
"What's going on?"
Wu Dai put down the wine bottle and said with a smile, "No matter what, he is the only Confucian Immortal in the Heavenly Court's Elite Selection. Why don't you bet a jade coin? A jade coin is probably not even enough to buy the wine in Dean Shen's wine bottle, right?"
Shen Yue looked at the jade coin and said proudly, "This bet is not worth a jade coin, but there is nothing smaller than a jade coin in the Heavenly Court …"
"Haha, haha ~"
Without waiting for Shen Yue to finish, Wu Dai and the others laughed and said, "Well said. Xiao Wenzong is only worth a jade coin. Come, let's bet …"
Since there was a bet, everyone was interested. They stared at the Heaven Trampling List and wanted to see when Xiao Hua would be eliminated by the Heaven and Earth Pagoda!
Shen Yue was excited for a moment, but he didn't know that not only around him, but also in the vicinity of the Five Phoenix Pavilions in the other four cities, as long as they were paying attention to the Sage Selection, similar bets appeared. Without exception, these bets were all about which stage Xiao Hua would be eliminated in.
However, to Shen Yue's surprise, Xiao Hua's name kept falling to the last place until the tenth round.
"This ~"
Although the bet was small, it was only one jade coin, but Shen Yue felt that his face was somewhat hot. He saw Xiao Hua's name once again jump onto the tenth stage of the Heaven Trampling List, and could not help but cry out, "What's going on?? It's impossible for him to reach the tenth round! "
"Xiao Wenzong's luck is too good ~"
Wu Dai comforted him, "He's always the last one and is one step away from being eliminated every time!"
"I think there's a problem ~"
Shen Yue pondered for a moment and said slowly.
"What problem can there be?"
Wu Dai took out a Rosy Clouds Festival and handed it to Shen Yue, saying, "Take a look. This is the news from Jiangjin Academy, White Deer Academy, and others …"
"Haha ~"
Shen Yue quickly grabbed it and laughed after reading it. "So it's the oral account of the second to last place in each round!"
"Yes."
Wu Dai said, "These students were all eliminated without exception. After they came out, the first thing they did was to be questioned by their respective academies. They also confirmed that the Heaven Trampling List is accurate. Xiao Wenzong indeed passed after them every time!"
"In other words ~"
Shen Yue said with a smile, "Xiao Wenzong is really the last one, but he's lucky and has been hanging behind!"
