Chapter 226: Palace Examination, Finding the Way in the Book Mountain, Creating Your Own 'Path'

'Discovered?'

Feeling the interesting look from Yunzhonglu, Lu Chen quickly realized that his actions had been noticed by the other party.

Although Yun Zhonglu had no ill intentions, Lu Chen still felt a lot of pressure.

This pressure had nothing to do with momentum or Yunzhonglu's attitude towards him.

It comes from Lu Chen's fear of Yunzhonglu.

You have to know that Lu Chen was able to detect even the information of Nascent Soul cultivators before, and they didn't even notice his spying.

But it’s different here at Yunzhonglu.

Not only was he unable to see the information about the Deer in the Clouds.

Even the other party can notice your little movements at the first moment.

There is no doubt that Yun Zhonglu's cultivation is most likely above the Nascent Soul stage and has reached the Spirit Transformation stage.

As for Lu Chen, the gap between him and the Spirit Transformation Stage is no exaggeration to say that it is the gap between an ant and an elephant.

If the other party wanted to, he could easily kill me.

It was this feeling of insecurity that brought a lot of pressure to Lu Chen.

Although Lu Chen had thought that the Bailu Academy was not simple, he did not expect it to be so complicated.

It is extremely rare for a white deer in the spirit transformation stage to appear in a mortal dynasty.

But this also reflects something from the side.

That is, the Bailu Academy definitely occupies a very important position in this True Immortal Trial.

Otherwise, the Deer in the Clouds would not appear here.

Just as Lu Chen was thinking about this, Yun Zhonglu looked around and said, "Those who want to enroll, follow me."

After saying that, Yun Zhonglu turned and walked towards the academy.

Seeing this scene, the disciples from the four major families of the Daying Dynasty, who were standing at the front of the crowd, immediately followed.

Once someone takes the lead, others will naturally follow.

As soon as they stepped into the Bailu Academy, everyone found that the scene in front of them had changed.

What comes into view is a huge mountain.

At this moment, everyone was standing at the foot of the mountain.

There is no doubt that they have stepped into a certain "Sumeru Space".

In a place that these candidates could not see, more than a dozen "teachers" from the White Deer Academy stood in an attic, looking at them curiously.

The so-called "Mr." is actually another name for "teacher" in Bailu Academy.

To be able to be teachers here, their accomplishments must be quite good.

Without exception, all of them are great cultivators above the third realm.

Moreover, their aura is very neutral, and you can tell at a glance that they are not the kind of third-level cultivators who have exhausted their potential.

They looked at the thousands of candidates below, as if they were judging which ones among these candidates were worthy of attention.

"How many candidates do you think will pass the test this time?"

After hearing this, a teacher from the academy thought for a moment and said, "If it is a normal enrollment, the maximum number of students will be 100."

"But now it is the True Immortal Trial that takes place once every five hundred years. I think there should be many geniuses from the outside world among these candidates, so perhaps more than a hundred people will pass this time."

When the other teachers in the academy heard this person mention the True Immortal Trial, they did not show much expression.

It was as if they had known this for a long time.

At this time, a lady standing on the edge of the attic said casually while drinking: "No matter how many people pass, we just need to do our own thing."

As she spoke, the female teacher noticed something and looked in the direction of Yi Hanqing in the crowd.

Rather than looking at Yi Hanqing, it would be more accurate to say that she was looking at the wine in Yi Hanqing's hand.

Although this place and the 'mountain of books and sea of ​​learning' where the candidates are located belong to two different spaces.

But the lady seemed to be able to confirm the quality of the wine in Yi Hanqing's hand in some way.

She looked greedily at the wine gourd in Yi Hanqing's hand, smacked her lips and said, "It's a pot of good wine. I hope you can be admitted to school smoothly, so that I can have a chance to drink the good wine in your hand."

Just as Mr. Xuegong was paying attention to the candidates.

The candidates also heard the voice of Yun Zhonglu.

"Only after climbing the mountain of books and crossing the sea of ​​learning can one enter the palace of learning."

These words are directed to everyone.

The following words could only be heard by Lu Chen and other participants of the True Immortal Trial.

"If any of you feel that you can no longer participate in the True Immortal Trial, you can come to the academy to find me at any time. I can send you back."

"Don't worry, only you can hear what I'm saying, don't think too much about it."

After saying this, Yunzhonglu’s voice disappeared completely.

Lu Chen and Shangguan Yunmeng looked at each other and understood why a spiritual beast like Yunzhonglu, who was at the Divine Transformation Stage, appeared in a mortal dynasty.

The purpose is to give those who want to give up the trial a chance to leave.

Thinking of this, Lu Chen and the other trial participants no longer had any worries.

Now that they have found a way out, all they have to do now is focus on dealing with the trial.

In addition, through this incident, the trial-takers also understood the attitude of neutral forces like Yun Zhonglu towards the trial-takers.

Not only do they know the existence of the True Immortal Trial, but they also have no hostility towards the trial-takers.

This is undoubtedly very good news for the trial participants.

After all, if even neutral forces like the Bailu Academy are hostile to the trial-takers, they don’t know what they can do to pass the trial.

Bailu Academy, in front of the mountain of books.

Since I already know the requirements for passing the academy assessment.

The candidates at the foot of Xueshan Mountain began to take action.

I saw some of the more anxious students immediately walking towards the top of the mountain of books.

But they soon discovered that they had thought this assessment was too simple.

There are many roads leading to the mountain of books. Some of these roads are winding, some are straight, and some lead to nowhere.

And in front of each road, there is a special stone tablet without any words.

The reason why the first batch of candidates who set foot on the Mountain of Books failed to successfully climb the mountain was because there was an invisible wall blocking them from climbing the mountain, and they hit a wall.

When seeing these people, the candidates in the crowd began to think about something.

Not long after, Cui Lingfei from the Cui family was the first to come out.

"Get lost."

Cui Lingfei waved his hand and pushed away the two candidates who were blocking his way, and came directly to a blank stone tablet.

Then he discovered something and stood in front of the stone tablet, closed his eyes and began to think.

Although the candidate who had just been pushed away by him had an ugly look on his face, after seeing that the person who pushed him away was the son of the Cui family, one of the four major families, he could only hide his dissatisfaction in his heart.

He soon discovered that many people around him also followed Cui Lingfei's actions and stopped in front of a random blank stone tablet.

There is no doubt that the key to climbing the mountain of books lies in these wordless stone tablets.

Soon, everyone discovered that these wordless stone tablets seemed to be "wordless", but in fact, the way they observed the stone tablets at the beginning was wrong.

The words will appear on these stone tablets only after being perceived with the soul.

Each of these stone tablets contains a corresponding martial art.

Moreover, these skills are not ordinary ones, and the worst ones can reach the Nascent Soul stage.

Some of these techniques can even reach the state of transformation into a spirit or even Mahayana.

When it comes to Mahayana, it can actually be considered as "immortal law".

Because after a cultivator reaches Mahayana, if he wants to go further, he cannot just follow in the footsteps of his predecessors, but must also walk his own path.

There is a path to the mountain of books through diligence. What these candidates have to do now is to choose a path that suits them among these vast number of stone tablets.

It was also from these stone tablets that everyone knew the key to climbing the Mountain of Books.

That is, they must learn a certain skill from these stone tablets and improve this skill to a certain level before they can completely ascend the mountain of books.

This requirement is undoubtedly very demanding, because it is equivalent to asking the candidates to start all over again.

Moreover, it is not enough to just choose a 'path'. Candidates must also judge whether the path they have chosen is right based on their own circumstances.

If they choose the right one, their practice will be twice as effective with half the effort.

If you choose the wrong one, you will get half the result with twice the effort.

Sometimes, choices also determine a person's upper limit.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Among the crowd, Cui Lingfei, who was the first to comprehend the stone tablet, had already opened his eyes.

"No, this is not the preaching monument that the old man told me about..."

Let’s talk, Cui Lingfei walked towards the other stone tablets.

The other descendants of the four major families did the same as him and began to walk over to the stone tablets one by one.

That’s right, unlike those other ordinary candidates who knew nothing about Bailu Academy.

These disciples from the four major families knew very well what the assessment content of the Bailu Academy was.

And the Bailu Academy had no intention of hiding this.

After all, birth can sometimes determine a person's upper limit, and there has never been absolute fairness in this world.

Besides, the assessment of the "mountain of books and sea of ​​learning" of the White Deer Academy has remained unchanged for thousands of years.

The assessment is placed here, and whether or not one can pass it depends entirely on the candidate's understanding and qualifications.

Knowing the exam content in advance only gives them more time to think about their future path.

But it is hard to say whether you can finally climb the mountain of books.

Seeing that everyone had already begun to comprehend the stone tablet, Shangguan Yunmeng beside Lu Chen asked curiously: "Sir, shouldn't we go over now? I see that some people have already gone up the mountain."

In response, Lu Chen did not respond, but instead looked intently in the direction of the mountain of books.

You know, he has been maintaining this posture since he came in, as if the mountain of books has some kind of huge attraction to him.

Not only that, Lu Chen's eyes became empty, as if he had entered into some kind of enlightenment, so he turned a deaf ear to Shangguan Yunmeng's words.

Seeing this scene, Shangguan Yunmeng immediately became curious.

As Shangguan Yunmeng, who considers himself a "smart guy", his main skill is to pretend to be smart in front of smart people.

The best way to achieve this is to just do what smart people do.

In her eyes, Lu Chen was not only a smart man, but also the smartest one among her peers.

Whatever he does, just follow his lead, you won’t go wrong!

With this thought in mind, Shangguan Yunmeng immediately imitated Lu Chen's actions and looked towards the mountain of books.

But she looked at it for a long time and didn't find anything special about the mountain of books that was worth Lu Chen's attention until now.

Obviously in her eyes, there was no big difference between this mountain of books and an ordinary hill.

Thinking of this, Shangguan Yunmeng suddenly felt a little bored.

But she didn't want to act like she didn't understand anything, because when Lu Chen woke up, he would probably think she was a fool.

Therefore, in order not to be considered a fool, Shangguan Yunmeng forced herself to resist sleepiness and stared at the mountain of books with watery eyes.

But after watching for a while, Shangguan Yunmeng finally couldn't help but close her eyes and fell asleep while standing! And the change happened after she fell asleep.

Shangguan Yunmeng had just closed her eyes for a while when she opened them again.

This time, her eyes were the same as Lu Chen's, very empty, and she was in some kind of enlightenment.

At this moment, the two of them seemed to be under a spell of immobilization, standing there motionless.

Some candidates around passed by the two people, looked at them in surprise and then paid no more attention.

Some people guessed that the two seemed to have found some other way to climb the Mountain of Books besides comprehending the wordless stone tablet.

I also followed their example and looked at the entire mountain of books.

But after wasting some time, these people gained nothing and left shaking their heads, thinking that Lu Chen and Shangguan Yunmeng might be deliberately making things mysterious.

But no matter whether it is Lu Chen or Shangguan Yunmeng, they are both the legendary first-grade great Dao foundation.

They naturally won't do meaningless things.

Although the direction to climb the Mountain of Books is to choose one that suits you from a large number of preaching tablets, and then climb the Mountain of Books along that path.

But this does not mean that this is the only way to climb the mountain of books.

It’s not that no one has thought of this other method.

It’s just that few people think they can do it.

Because this other method is to carve your own path out of the mountain of books.

That is to say, to create a new technique for yourself.

Moreover, this technique cannot be put together randomly. It must be cultivated to at least the Nascent Soul stage.

Such conditions are undoubtedly countless times more difficult than following the path of our predecessors.

Not to mention that for these cultivators who are at most at the second level.

The second realm is just the beginning of the journey of cultivation.

How can a person who has just started out create a path that suits him or her?

But there are exceptions to everything.

Lu Chen is, and so is Shangguan Yunmeng.

Most of Lu Chen's skills are improved by experience points.

But the understanding of these skills is real.

Coupled with his own terrifying talent, Lu Chen's understanding is naturally not comparable to that of ordinary people.

Although Shangguan Yunmeng himself does not have the help of "experience points".

But she also has her own special features.

That is the fairy who appears in her dreams every time she falls asleep.

Just because Shangguan Yunmeng couldn’t understand many things didn’t mean the fairy in her dream couldn’t understand them.

This is Shangguan Yunmeng’s current situation.

Although she was asleep, the fairy in her dream appeared.

The other party's vision was far superior to Lu Chen's.

Even Lu Chen could see that the mountain of books in front of him was actually equivalent to a giant "preaching monument", and Shangguan Yunmeng, the fairy in the dream, could naturally see it as well.

Therefore, at the moment, Lu Chen and Shangguan Yunmeng were not looking at a mountain of books, but rather standing at a huge "preaching monument".

What is recorded in this wordless stone tablet is no longer a single technique.

Rather, it was all the "skills" that appeared in the mountain of books, even some incomplete skills that failed to become "monuments of preaching".

Lu Chen looked at the vast amount of skills appearing in front of him, and a lot of insights appeared in his mind.

Under the cleansing of these techniques, a brand new technique that belonged to him alone slowly appeared in his mind...
