Chapter 249: The Road to Heaven
With Blameless Temple being the host, coupled with the crushing ratio of five to three, several righteous sects’ attempts to utilize the topic to push the imperial court forces out of the World Martial Arts were declared bankrupt. Xue Mu won a seat without a doubt, and the world became the Nine Cauldrons of the World again.
Sitting at the table, Xue Mu sighed with a bit of emotion, “The Nine Cauldrons is the world’s great trend, and cannot be lightly reversed.”
It seems like he got a bargain, but in fact, he implicitly admonished. Certain sects have nothing to do with this matter, but to add to his chaos is just selfishness. But the world of rivers and lakes, whether the nine tripods side by side, or positive and evil, everyone looks down on the court, but if less than the court in the middle, can really be solid, it should have been messed up.
He is again antipathy Ji Qingyuan, will not deny the role of the court, this meaning in the previous and Yuan Zhong’s mouth gun has highlighted very clear.
But unfortunately, not many understood his meaning. Even Yulin and Zhu Chenyao, it was just a personal factor that supported him, and they didn’t have such a broad vision.
Leng Qingshi then expressed his disdain with a cold snort, with a look of a different path, even arguing with him was too much of a waste. The two from Haitian Pavilion and Wild Sand Sect also smiled faintly and didn’t say much.
The strange one was Wei Ruyi, who piled on a smile and said, “The Nine Cauldrons have been passed down for a thousand years, so naturally it’s not without reason.”
Everyone glanced at him strangely, and Leng Qingshi was so angry that he moved several seats away, unable to comprehend what was going on with this close friend. Xue Mu narrowed his eyes, somewhat playfully.
This goods a few days ago in the heavenly fragrance building to fight for the wind, a face and the devil’s door and the incompatibility of the stinking appearance, today the attitude has changed greatly, afraid that even he himself said that it is not twisted, look at that smile is how to see how to look at how to be reluctant.
So why bother, no that acting skills is not as good as silence. See how smart people Zhu Chen Yao, her acting skills are also bad, but play is cold and arrogant Fan, do not need expression ah. Just like the latter day’s fresh meat, acting skills are not enough, face paralyzed to come together, the fans will only say good cool and handsome ah, acting is not a problem, right?
He did not continue to pull this topic, asked Yuan Zhong: “It is said that the world gathered here more than 60,000 young martial artists, the preliminary round to how to race, this is going to fight until when to go?”
Yuan Zhong explained, “Naturally it’s not possible to fight that way, first enter our clan’s Ascension Road, and those who can climb to the halfway point are considered to have passed the preliminary round.”
Xue Mu curiously said, “What about those who climb to the top?”
Yuan Zhong shook his head, “For those who are not inquirers, halfway is the extreme, and it is simply impossible to reach the top.”
Xue Mu understood: “Please continue.”
Yuan Zhong said, “This level sifts the basic cultivation, and those who can pass the halfway point are less than ten thousand at most. Then we enter the Sumeru Realm test, and the thousand who can come out first pass the rematch. Then only then is the drawing of lots for the tournament, scoring out and advancing layer by layer. The entire process will almost take place for close to a month.”
Sure enough, it wasn’t the same as the Spirit State’s small-scale competition, and neither the scale nor the infrastructure was a concept. Xue Mu finally saw a truly metaphysical style of selection in this world, the so-called Road to Heaven and Sumeru Realm, I don’t know how many protagonists defeated the group and climbed to the top in such places. There might even be a protagonist’s brother, who was several realms short of the top on the Road to Heaven, shocking countless eyeballs.
Xue Mu was very interested in this, and it was much more interesting than watching a ring match. If it wasn’t for the fact that there was another chess game going on this time, he would have wanted to try to see how high he could climb on the so-called Road to Heaven.
What Xue Mu asked others already knew, the crowd hid in the secret room and met only to study whether they could kick out Xue Mu, since Xue Mu had already confirmed his participation, there was nothing to meet, it was long overdue to preside over the work. Yuan Zhong then got up and said, “The martial artists must have already arrived, let’s go to the Heaven Ascending Stage.”
Previously, when Xue Mu came to the Blameless Temple, it looked like he had walked both the front and back mountains, but in fact, he had walked just the two main paths, and what he saw was just the tip of the iceberg. In a thousand year old sect like the Blameless Temple, there were many scenic spots in the mountains that Xue Mu had almost never seen.
Ascension platform is one of them, in the back of the mountain belly side, opened up dozens of square miles of huge platform, platform side of the mountain, the other side of a colorful glazed barriers, up to ten miles wide, diagonal straight to the sky, a glance can not be seen at the end, under the sun, mysterious and vast.
This is the road to heaven, rumor has it that if you reach the top, you can see the Buddha.
Of course that’s just a rumor, in fact, if you climb to the top, there will indeed be some benefits, because the top of the virtual floating a copper hall, the hall enshrines the world’s most mysterious and most important thing: ZhenShi Nine Tripods of the Tripod. The number of senior monks who guarded the copper hall alone was unknown.
When the crowd arrived at the Heavenly Ascension Platform, more than 60,000 people stood densely waiting below, just as if they were counting soldiers in the fall on a sand field. Countless monks were maintaining order and reading out the rules.
Nine people were seated on the platform, with Yuan Zhong sitting in the center, delivering the opening speech.
According to the seating order in the past, the representative of Department Six was at the head of the presiding officer’s left side, and was considered one of the most important “elders”. But this time, Xue Mu didn’t try to compete with the eyeing righteousness sects, and casually sat in the far corner, smilingly listening to Yuan Zhong’s bullshit.
All worlds are the same, this kind of stinky and long leadership speech is useless, and the people below still have to listen to it under the June sun. The most tragic thing is that Yuan Zhong is also a monk, the speech is also mixed with a large number of cloudy Buddhist teachings, but also listen to the people a face of confusion.
So why do people want to be a leader, just for this kind of time can sit on the stage and drink tea, rather than below the sun cursing, but also to try to climb up ah right?
But then again, in fact, tens of thousands of people present, there is no anxiety in the heart. Not because of the high level of cultivation, but because this place is filled with the light of meditation, there are thousands of Brahmin voices singing in the ear, so that people’s state of mind is calm, quiet and clear. There was also a feeling of compassion arising from the heart, and the heart was filled with good thoughts.
Xue Mu’s palms warmed slightly and he looked up.
The Zhen Shi Ding …… shared the common characteristic of suppressing evil and driving away charm, while each had characteristics.
The one in the capital city can suppress cultivation without violating its orders. It seems that this one in Heron State is to awaken compassion and promote goodness and eliminate evil. Xue Mu secretly mused that this World Suppressing Cauldron was extremely relevant to his own Golden Finger, and that sooner or later, he would have to come into close contact with it one day.
Unfortunately, the tripod that each clan protects is the most important thing to guard, I don’t know if there is any chance ……
But at the moment, he didn’t have the heart to think that far, this time, the World Martial Arts, due to the plague incident, it was destined to be impossible to have no wind and no waves, Xue Mu was almost certain that something was bound to happen when the ten thousand people gathered. The vast majority of his attention was actually observing the martial artists in the arena.
Yuan Zhong’s ramblings hadn’t even ended yet, and the field was really starting to change.
Chu Tianming was a teenager who loved to explore and was extremely curious, his strong curiosity made him often intrude into places he shouldn’t have intruded into without knowing what to do, and it was also considered that there was a cause and there was a consequence, and under countless times of nine deaths and one chance to survive, it actually allowed him to obtain a powerful inheritance in a certain ancient secret realm. Of course, because of the damn curiosity, he also crashed through many things that should not be crashed, offended countless people who should not be offended, in a variety of hunting down and breaking down a heck of a battle.
That’s right, he is the first phase of the Jianghu rookie spectrum and Mu Jian Li Feng Lieyang Zheng Haoran with the list of scattered people, the first phase of the five rookies, he is the most no background, if not because of the rookie spectrum, it is estimated that his name simply do not know a few people.
This time, he came to participate in the World Martial Arts, coinciding with the pandemic in Lushu State, the young man’s heart is not cold yet, the first time to go to the infected area to help.
He had heard the rumors of Xue Mu’s poisoning, but he didn’t really believe them. Department Six’s Rookie Spectrum had made him famous all over the world, and he was very favorable to Department Six and to Xue Mu, the advisor of the Rookie Spectrum. Sure enough, he saw Xue Mu in the infected area, running around exhaustingly to absorb the toxins in several quarantine zones, which further convinced him that Xue Mu was a man of benevolence and justice.
Of course he didn’t bother to climb into friendship with Xue Mu, he was going to participate in the competition after all, and didn’t want people to think that he was climbing into a relationship with the referee.
But at this moment, his gaze towards Xue Mu on the stage changed from friendly to confused.
It was because he sensed that he had been poisoned.
The exact same exact poison that he had seen and heard in the plague zone.
His cultivation wasn’t low anymore, so he could be sure that he definitely didn’t smell any poisonous smoke or gas, and without any medium, he was inexplicably poisoned.
I heard that some days ago Xue Mu and Meng Fei Bai in the Tian Xiang Lou fight for wind, also let Meng Fei Bai so inexplicably poisoned, all the characteristics of the whole match, could it be that this Xue Mu is still really the real culprit of the plague?
But the teenager’s heart vaguely still feel wrong, Xue Mu figure what, to expose themselves in this public?
“Bang!” Someone beside him fell to the ground, “I, I’m poisoned!”
