Chapter 772 Extra Chapter: The First Test for the Human Emperor Candidates

In Jiuzhou, in front of the nameless secret realm, cultivators are rushing here one after another.

If you observe carefully, you will find that the monks who rush here are all geniuses. They are not very old, but their cultivation is far beyond their peers.

The geniuses looked at each other warily. These were all future opponents. Only by defeating them all could they take over Lu Renhuang's position and become the new Renhuang.

"The last disciple of the leader of the Corpse Driving Sect, Gui Banshan, the eldest sister of the Hehuan Sect, Meng Youyou, and Xuanyuan Gang who has the same sword spirit root as Jian Jun... They are all familiar faces."

The geniuses and heroes quickly recognized the identities of the others. They were all people of the same age who were famous in the rumors of the martial arts world. Each of them had their own unique characteristics, enough to dominate among their peers.

They straightened their chests slightly, they were confident that they could defeat all opponents and become the 72nd Human Emperor.

An imposing young man in white, with a sword on his waist, attracted the attention of many monks as soon as he arrived here.

"Look, that's Dao Sect's walking Bai Hongtu. I knew he would be on the list of candidates for the Human Emperor!"

"I heard that he is known as the most outstanding genius in Dao Sect in the past nine thousand years. He is proficient in setting up formations, refining pills and refining weapons, and his swordsmanship is unmatched. Some time ago, he was shining in the Sword Tomb of the Sword Lord. He sat in meditation for three days. When he stood up, two golden lights shot out of his eyes. The sword energy spanned thirty thousand miles, and six of the eighteen stone tablets were cut off. Xuanyuan Gang of the Sword Pavilion was defeated!"

Bai Hongtu has a handsome appearance, a confident smile on his face, and is in high spirits. He is the object of admiration of countless female cultivators and is worthy of the title of the most outstanding genius in Dao Sect.

Soon, another cold and aloof female cultivator arrived and quickly attracted everyone's attention.

The cold female cultivator had an unparalleled beauty. Many people who wanted to build a relationship with her backed off when they saw her aura that kept strangers away.

Bai Hongtu and the cold female cultivator nodded to each other as a greeting.

"That must be Yu Yin, the Crown Princess of Tianyuan. I heard that there is no one of the same generation who can fight with her in the Tianyuan Dynasty. Even when fighting with the older generation, she has won many times!"

When Yu Yin heard someone talking about her, she glanced at them coldly, scaring the person so much that he immediately stopped talking.

"Yu Yin, if you still have this temper, be careful not to make friends." A young man who was not familiar with the face arrived and happened to see this scene, and couldn't help but laugh.

Most people had never seen the unfamiliar young man: "Who is that? Do you know him?"

"I haven't seen him, but as a candidate for the Human Emperor, his talent is unquestionable. There are two possibilities for not seeing him. He is either a hidden disciple of some powerful force, or a casual cultivator. The latter is more difficult to deal with than the former."

Yu Yin was not surprised by the arrival of the young man: "Jiang Li, as expected, you have also become a candidate for the Human Emperor."

Jiang Li smiled and said, "The ground veins like me."

"Jiang Li? I remember this name. I heard that he was the best student at the Great Zhou Imperial Academy. After graduation, many forces wanted to recruit him, but he refused on the grounds that he was traveling around. After that, I'm not sure where he went."

"It seems he went there when the sword tomb was opened."

"Could it be that he is also a sword cultivator?"

"It's very likely that sword cultivators will be difficult to deal with in close combat, so be careful."

Jiang Li turned around and saw Bai Hongtu, and greeted him enthusiastically: "Old Bai, you are so good that you can get in?"

Bai Hongtu saw Jiang Li, walked over, and responded with the same enthusiasm: "When I become the emperor, I will definitely promote you to be the commander."

The two laughed, and Yu Yin was a little confused, not sure whether they had a good relationship or a bad relationship: "Do you know each other?"

"Let's get to know each other. The sword tomb was opened a few days ago, and I went to join in the fun and met Lao Bai. Lao Bai, this is Yu Yin, also a friend I met in the secret realm."

"I know Yu Yin, the genius of the Tianyuan Dynasty. Hello." With the relationship with Jiang Li, the greeting between Bai Hongtu and Yu Yin was no longer as unfamiliar as the nodding acquaintance just now.

Yu Yin was a little uncomfortable with Bai Hongtu's enthusiasm.

"When you were in the Sword Tomb, you were still in the Golden Core Stage, and now you are in the Nascent Soul Stage. Your cultivation speed is quite fast." Bai Hongtu looked at Jiang Li. One of the conditions to become a candidate for the Human Emperor is to reach the Nascent Soul Stage.

"It's a rare opportunity for you to become a candidate for the Human Emperor. Don't waste your talent. When this test is over, I will introduce you to Master and see if I can let you study in Dao Sect for a while."

Jiang Li was deeply moved: "Thank you."

Bai Hongtu waved his hand: "It is only right to show respect to the wise and humble."

"roll."

Yu Yin said seriously: "I didn't think it through. You and I joined forces to kill the enemy in the secret realm, and you have done me a favor. If you need it, I can copy a copy of the Tianyuan Royal Family's explosive skills for you."

In the secret realm, Yu Yin saw Jiang Li's amazing fighting power and forgot that he was a casual cultivator with no roots and lack of skills. It was only after Bai Hongtu's words that she realized this.

"Isn't it a secret?" Jiang Li asked cautiously.

"Don't ask too many questions."

"Do you know all three of you?" another voice came. It was the last candidate for the Human Emperor, Ji Zhi.

Jiang Li rolled his eyes at Ji Zhi and said, "I rely on my double pupils to be able to see the future, so I always come before the teacher."

As soon as Ji Zhi arrived, a kind old man appeared in the air.

Everyone bowed and shouted in unison: "Greetings to the Human Emperor."

The 71st Human Emperor, Lu Yu.

Lu Yu looked at the newly selected candidate for the Human Emperor with a smile on his face, feeling very pleased.

They are all the future of Kyushu.

"I have called you all here today for no other reason than to let you all get to know each other. To become the Human Emperor, you have to go through many tests, and we will have to interact with each other more in the future."

"Secondly, it is to test everyone's abilities. The secret realm in front of you is an unnamed secret realm that I accidentally discovered. Later, I will give each of you three wooden cards. You can compete with each other. After winning each time, you can get a wooden card. Whoever gets the most wooden cards will be the winner."

Everyone noticed that three small wooden tablets appeared on their waists and could not be put into the storage ring.

The others entered the nameless secret realm one after another, and Jiang Li and his four companions were the last to enter.

Before entering, the four were stopped by Lu Renhuang.

"Jiang Li, do your best."

A year ago, Jiang Li was traveling in the Wu Dynasty and encountered an outer disciple of the Qingtian Sect who bullied the weak. The two sides had a dispute and happened to meet Lu Renhuang who was on a secret visit.

Emperor Lu Renhuang admired Jiang Li very much. Later, the two of them ate noodles together on the street, and Jiang Li even gave him a few cloves of garlic.

"Bai Hongtu, the Immortal Elder told me about you. He said that if the Immortal Ladder still existed, you might be able to become the second Daoist Ancestor."

There was one more thing that Emperor Lu Renhuang didn't say. The Immortal also told him that if he didn't like Bai Hongtu, he should be beaten and Dao Zong would have no objection.

Lu Renhuang felt strange. He liked Bai Hongtu quite a bit and didn't know why the Immortal said that.

"Yu Yin, I already know your life story. The Human Emperor Palace can help you sever your relationship with the Tianyuan Imperial Family."

"Thank you for your kindness, Emperor Lu Ren. Yu Yin can handle this matter on his own."

"Ji Zhi, your father told me that your double pupils are too powerful. Using them cannot test your true level. I suggest you only use them during combat."

"yes."

Emperor Lu Renhuang said a few words and then let the four people enter the secret realm.

The secret realm is extremely large, with lakes, jungles and mountains. Once people enter, it is difficult to find them again.

"It seems like a secret realm left behind by someone who had transcended the tribulation period or an immortal. It is so old that even its original function has disappeared."

Ji Zhi analyzed: "To obtain the wooden sign, we will inevitably have to fight. The terrain of the secret realm is complicated. Once the battle begins, it will test our ability to respond on the spot."

Without saying a word, Yu Yin rushed straight into the dense forest and disappeared. Soon, the sound of fighting was heard from that direction.

"I'll go first." Ji Zhi realized the urgency of time and disappeared.

"I was originally thinking of working with four people, but how come everyone is gone in the blink of an eye?" Jiang Li was a little dissatisfied. There was no team spirit at all.

"What's the plan?" Bai Hongtu asked.

Jiang Li told Bai Hongtu about his plan, and he nodded frequently, feeling that it was very much to his liking.

Soon, Jiang Li and Bai Hongtu also chose to act separately and snatch other people's tokens.

In the secret realm, battles broke out from time to time, and the realms of the candidates for the Human Emperor were all suppressed by the Human Emperor Lu to the early Nascent Soul stage. But when it came to actual combat, everyone's combat power was not as good as that of the early Nascent Soul stage.

Among them, Yu Yin was the most ferocious. Once they met, he would choose to fight no matter who his opponent was. After winning three consecutive battles, everyone chose to avoid him and not waste their energy on Yu Yin, which was not worth it.

"Xuanyuan Gang, we meet again. Come, let me see how much of the Sword Lord's moves you have mastered." Bai Hongtu chuckled as he raised his sword. He already had five tokens on his waist.

In just half an hour, Bai Hongtu had already grabbed two tokens.

Xuanyuan Gang was facing a formidable enemy. He possessed the spiritual roots of a sword and believed that his talent in swordsmanship was unmatched. But after the battle at the Sword Tomb, he realized that there are always people better than you.

Dao Zong's walking is worthy of its reputation!

"Let's fight!"

The two sword monks fought fiercely in the dense forest. Sturdy trees fell down in large numbers. Bai Hongtu was more skilled and defeated Xuanyuan Gang again, getting a token.

Bai Hongtu used swordsmanship to fight his enemies, and even Xuanyuan Gang of Jiange was defeated by him and a wooden sign was snatched away.

"See you later."

Bai Hongtu rushed to the scheduled meeting place.

"Are you Jiang Li? You only got your reputation by memorizing books. You'd better behave yourself... Don't hit my storage ring. Do you know how many spirit stones I spent to buy it from Mount Xumi... My wooden sign!"

"If you have the guts, fight honestly. Don't attack the storage ring... and don't steal the wooden sign!"

"Wait, I shouldn't be hanging the storage ring on my chest... Don't you know there are differences between men and women?"

Jiang Li's process of snatching the wooden sign went very smoothly. The only problem was that he aroused the emotions of too many people.

I have never seen such a shameless way of fighting. He came up and hit the position of the storage ring without saying a word. While their attention was on the storage ring, he took away the wooden sign.

Jiang Li's actions aroused public outrage, and the victims followed Jiang Li one after another.

"Chase him, don't let this grandson run away!"

Jiang Li ran for his life. Looking at the momentum of the group of people behind him, he suspected that if he was a step slower, he would be pinned to the ground and beaten.

Fortunately, Jiang Li is very experienced in being chased and will not be caught up by others.

"This grandson is too good at running. Let's split up and surround him. My Hehuan Sect has a secret method that allows us to transmit sound over a short distance without being discovered!" Meng Youyou, the eldest sister of the Hehuan Sect, commanded the other victims.

Read the error-free version on 6Ⅹ9Ⅹ bookⅩ bar! 6Ⅹ9 book bar first publishes a novel.

Everyone thought what Meng Youyou said made sense, and they dispersed to form a circle.

The encirclement gradually narrowed and finally surrounded a lake. This was the meeting point of Jiang Li and Bai Hongtu.

"Want to go?"

"Bai Hongtu is here. Wait and listen to what they are saying."

In terms of fame, Bai Hongtu is definitely the most famous among the candidates for the Human Emperor. Dao Sect is the strongest among all sects, and one can imagine how high the value of Dao Sect's actions is.

…

"Luckily I ran fast, otherwise I would have been caught up." Jiang Li panted heavily. Being chased by a genius of the same level, he naturally had to use all his strength.

"Tsk tsk, you're not popular enough."

"Stop talking nonsense. How many wooden signs did you get?"

Bai Hongtu proudly took out a few wooden signs from his arms: "If we compare the number of wooden signs, you definitely can't beat me... Hey, they fell into the lake!"

Accidentally, a wooden sign slipped from his hand and fell into the lake. Just as Bai Hongtu was about to go into the lake to pick it up, a strange phenomenon occurred.

Ripples appeared on the calm lake surface, as if golden spring water was gushing out, holding up the two wooden signs.

"How come there are two pieces!" Bai Hongtu was very surprised.

Jiang Li frowned: "Did your hand slip and drop two pieces in there?"

After saying that, Jiang Li also threw down a wooden sign. A miracle happened and the golden spring water lifted up two wooden signs again.

Jiang Li lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then suddenly raised his head and exclaimed: "Golden springs are gushing out, and all things are in pairs. Could this be the Treasure Lake left by the Treasure Immortal in ancient legends?"

Bai Hongtu was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized: "I remember that there is a book called "Immortal Strange Stories" in the Dao Sect's Sutra Library, which records the strange stories of the immortal world. There is an earthly immortal in the immortal world who became an immortal through wealth. His name is Jubaoxianren. His cornucopia can copy all things. It is very strange."

"Jubao Immortal was an immortal who lived 160,000 years ago. He died 60,000 years ago. If this secret place was left by him, it is reasonable that it has become desolate after 60,000 years."

Jiang Li nodded: "After all, this is a secret realm personally selected by Emperor Lu Ren, so it is normal for it to have such an origin."

"I am too narrow-minded. I thought Emperor Lu wanted us to fight each other to test our ability to perform on the spot. Now it seems that competing in knowledge and exploring the roots of the secret realm are also part of the test."

"Emperor Lu is very thoughtful, and we can't just look at the surface."

"You are right."

Jiang Li threw two more wooden signs in, but four wooden signs did not appear, so he had to fish out the two wooden signs.

"It seems that one person can only use the Treasure Pool once. You and I have no chance. Yu Yin and Ji Zhi don't know about this place yet. Let's contact them separately. They have a lot of wooden cards in their hands and can copy them."

Jiang Li and Bai Hongtu separated, and Meng Youyou and others did not stop them.

…

After the two left, Meng Youyou and others looked at the lake, their hearts beating fast.

Good stuff.

"Jiang Li has read a lot of books, which is quite useful. Who has heard of "Strange Stories from the Immortal World"? " asked Gui Banshan from the Corpse-Driving Sect.

Several people shook their heads.

"Well, there are so many books in the world, it's normal that you haven't heard of them. The classics of our sect can't be compared with the Great Zhou Royal Academy and Dao Sect."

"I still need to read more in the future." Meng Youyou made up her mind.

"Let's not talk about this anymore, just throw the wooden sign in quickly."

"It's the most important thing."

"Jiang Li just proved that a person can only have one chance, so let's all throw in the wooden cards, so that we can get the most wooden cards."

"good."

Several candidates for Emperor of Humanity threw wooden signs in at the same time.

The lake calmed down for a moment, and then the formation under the lake began to shine, binding the wooden signs together to form a package shape, which jumped out of the water and flew towards Jiang Li and Bai Hongtu who were hiding not far away.

The two men hugged all the wooden signs in their arms and ran away. If they were caught this time, they would not just be beaten up.

Everyone's face changed drastically and they immediately realized that they had been cheated.

"Chase them! I'll strip them naked and hang them from a tree!"

The battle to escape began. Jiang Li and Bai Hongtu ran for their lives, and everyone else chased them desperately, determined to fight them to the death.

When the test was over, everyone still hadn't caught up with Jiang Li and Bai Hongtu.

"Emperor Lu, help us! They are going to sell us to the Hehuan Sect!" The two men shouted when they saw Emperor Lu coming out of the exit.

Lu Renhuang's eyes twitched, he witnessed the whole process.

Bai Hongtu made arrangements under the lake, while Jiang Li attracted hatred. The two met at the lakeside, pretending that this was the treasure pool of the Jubao Immortal, and put on a good show. In order to maximize their benefits, everyone had to throw out all the wooden signs, so the formation was activated, and everyone's wooden signs fell into the hands of Jiang Li and Bai Hongtu.

He finally understood what the immortal meant by "fight if you want to."

Don’t say that the candidate for Emperor of Humanity wants to beat someone up, he also wants to beat someone up!

Let you show your ability to adapt to circumstances in the test, is your ability just a lie? Having said that, Emperor Lu still protected the two behind him, like a hen protecting her chicks.

"Okay, stop making trouble. You are not as skilled as others. Be more careful next time."

After Emperor Lu Renhuang said this, everyone could only tolerate it.

This test only ranked the players and there were no rewards, so everyone suffered no actual losses.

But I'm angry.

"And you two, stop making faces to piss them off." Lu Renhuang hit Jiang Li and Bai Hongtu heavily. He couldn't stand seeing these two guys making faces behind him.

"Don't do that next time."

The trial results were based on the number of wooden signs. Jiang Li and Bai Hongtu tied for first place, and Yu Yin ranked third.

Yu Yin frowned slightly, not knowing how Jiang Li and Bai Hongtu did it. She had been fighting and winning all the time, so she should be the one with the best results.

"This test has ended. I hope everyone will summarize their shortcomings, adjust their mentality, and make persistent efforts. This test is just a small warm-up. The next test will be held in a month, and then we will disband."

When Emperor Lu Renhuang finished speaking, he glared at Jiang Li and Bai Hongtu who were showing off their achievements to Yu Yin and Ji Zhi.

The rules of the next test must be adjusted so that they are not allowed to find loopholes.

…

In the early morning, Commander Liu saw that the lights in the Sutra Library of the Human Emperor Palace were still on, as if someone had been reading from late at night till early morning and forgot to put out the candle.

"Kong Hu finally wants to read a book?" Commander Liu was delighted. The Sutra Library was full of serious books, so Ma Zhuo and his wife would not come.

He walked into the Sutra Library and found that it was Lu Renhuang who was flipping through a book.

"Palace Master, what are you doing..."

Emperor Lu shook his neck and said, "Oh, it's Commander Liu. Jiang Li and Bai Hongtu, those two little bastards, said that there is a record of a treasure-gathering immortal in the "Immortal World Strange Stories". I think what they said is very convincing and doesn't seem to be false. But I searched all night and couldn't find the book or the treasure-gathering immortal."

"Do you think I should go to Dao Zong's Sutra Library to look for it?"

Commander Liu was silent for a moment, then tentatively said, "Maybe, I mean maybe, they even made up the "Immortal World Strange Stories" and the Jubao Immortal."

Emperor Lu was stunned, and said with gritted teeth: "These two little bastards!"
