MTLNOVEL Chapter 16: 16 The Phoenix Awakens
16: The Phoenix AwakensYe Wenzhu, who had just stepped onto the 100th step, wiped the sweat off his head with one hand, looked up at Luo Mingyi and the purple-clothed youth Ling Hao in front of him, and said to himself in his heart: "Ye Wenzhu, you have to persevere! Go to the end!"
With firm belief, Ye Wenzhu jumped over five steps at once. This action attracted the attention of the three elders.
"Did you see that orange-dressed woman? She is the only one among these people who has a top-grade fire spirit root. This woman is determined and has a bright future. It seems that someone from the Seven Peaks will be unable to hold back and take action this time!"
The three elders smiled at each other and continued to look at the series of prospective disciples who were climbing to see if there was any that caught their eye.
Luo Mingyi ignored the strange expression of the purple-clothed boy next to her. Once her strength recovered, she continued to climb up.
One step, two steps, "Phew, finally the 240th floor!"
But at this moment, Luo Mingyi's expression suddenly changed, and an extremely strong pressure came upon her face, suppressing the bones in her body and making them creak.
Luo Mingyi could not bear it any longer and retreated to the next floor, the 239th floor, where he could barely stand.
"The pressure on the 240th floor is ten times that of the 239th floor!"
Perhaps she would have to wait until she had refined the first turn of the "Nine Turns to God" to its peak before she could step onto the 240th level.
The sky gradually grew dark, and the three elders transformed into three streams of light, appearing halfway up the ladder to heaven.
"Time is up, everyone, stay where you are and wait for the record."
After a stick of incense, all the disciples' results were recorded in the book. One of the elders waved his hand, and all the children standing on the ladder to heaven suddenly felt a gust of wind coming, gently placing them on the ground.
"The result of this trial is out! There are five disciples who have not yet walked up the ladder to heaven before nightfall. Now, I will give you two choices: either leave here, or become a menial disciple!"
These five people are not very old, and none of them is over ten years old. Being named in public at this time, he looked very ashamed. But if there is a chance to stay here, they certainly won't give up.
"We are willing to stay in the sect and become menial disciples."
The three elders still had no expression on their faces. They were just five menial disciples, so they wouldn't care too much whether they left or stayed.
"The rest of you have all passed. Next, it's the third stage, passing the Mirror of Inquiry!"
"I'm going to make this clear. If there are spies from other sects or demons among you, they will immediately reveal their true colors in front of the Mirror of Inquiry. It's not too late to leave now!"
As soon as the elder said this, some of the more than 500 children standing underground suddenly became panicked. Could it be that among them, there were people from the demon and monster tribes!
At this moment, a young man in black quietly retreated while others were not paying attention. Until he retreated to the end, he suddenly took out a piece of talisman paper in his hand, a black light flashed, and the young man in black disappeared instantly.
"Hmph, you dare brat! Don't run away!" An elder suddenly appeared among their group of new disciples and grabbed with his big hand the young man in black who had just tried to escape.
"Which sect or faction sent you as a spy? Tell me quickly, or I'll kill you!"
All the disciples hurriedly ran to the side. This scene was really too scary.
Unexpectedly, the young man in black looked fearless and spat at the elder.
"Bah, you lackeys of the immortal sect don't deserve to know who I am!"
This really angered Elder Ma.
"How dare you! Come here, Mirror of Conscience!" Elder Ma waved his hand, and a palm-sized emerald bronze mirror suddenly appeared in front of the young man in black.
"Ahhhhhhhh!" A layer of black smoke suddenly appeared on the face of the young man in black, and the emerald light emitted by the Mirror of the Heart hit him directly in the face.
Elder Ma threw the young man in black to the ground with disgust. He waved his hand and a silver rope flew out from the sky, binding the young man tightly and making him unable to move.
"Humph, he turned out to be a low-level demon soldier! He is really courting death! Come, take him to the Discipline Hall and make sure to find out his purpose for sneaking into the sect!"
Immediately, two monks in black came forward and took the young man away.
After this little incident, the remaining 500-odd disciples were so frightened that they dared not say a word.
"Okay, all disciples, line up and walk to the mirror one by one." After Elder Ma finished speaking, more than 500 new disciples began to line up.
The first person to come forward was a woman in red. She was very beautiful and about the same age as Luo Mingyi, but she had a very arrogant look on her face.
"Zhu Xuan'er, six years old this year, has dual spiritual roots of wood and fire!" Seeing Luo Mingyi looking at the woman in red, Ye Wenzhu turned her head and said to her.
"Wenzhu, how do you know all this?" Luo Mingyi was puzzled. They came from the same place, so how did she know all this?
"Just now, Zhu Xuan'er was not far from me when she was on the ladder to heaven. I heard from a girl next to me, yes, it was her, the one wearing a green dress."
Luo Mingyi looked in the direction Ye Wenzhu pointed and indeed saw the woman in green.
"Her name is Liu Qingqing, she is eight years old, and has already reached the second level of Qi Linking."
Luo Mingyi was surprised, "Hasn't she just entered the sect? How come she has already reached the second level of Qi Linking!"
"She and Zhu Xuan'er are both from a family of immortal cultivators. I heard from the people around me that their families seem to be affiliated families of the Danxia Immortal Sect."
"I see."
At this time, a ray of emerald green light emanated from the Wentian Mirror, completely enveloping Zhu Xuaner.
A blue-robed disciple was asking various questions nearby, and everyone's attention was immediately attracted to the blue-robed boy. He is about twenty years old, but looks very handsome.
"Who are you? Where are you from?"
"Zhu Xuan'er, from the Zhu family." Luo Mingyi noticed that after Zhu Xuan'er was enveloped by the emerald green light, her eyes seemed to become a little blurry.
"What is your purpose in coming to Danxia Immortal Sect?"
"Learn the art of alchemy!"
"Okay, passed, next one!" The blue-robed disciple held a green pen in his hand and gently waved it at Zhu Xuan'er. The green light shield disappeared and Zhu Xuan'er immediately regained consciousness.
She bowed slightly and said, "Thank you, uncle-master." Then she walked aside amid the envious looks of others.
So that's how it is. After being enveloped by this green light, one seems to lose consciousness, and all answers are based solely on the memory in the mind.
Luo Mingyi was a little scared. What if she blurted out Blue Star when asked where she was from?
She was a little panicked, but at this moment, a voice sounded in her mind.
"Don't be afraid, I'm here, just go ahead!"
It's the voice of the Divine Phoenix! Luo Mingyi felt calm immediately and waited for her test with peace of mind.
