After Zhou Qing left the Ten Thousand Demons Tower, there was no more disciples inside, and the test ended there.

This test lasted for quite a while. It was just dawn when we arrived, and now the sun was setting.

Ermu immediately descended from the sky and landed not far above everyone's heads.

He glanced at all the disciples, staying a little longer on Zhou Qing.

Suwol Peak is really good at giving people surprises...

I don’t know what Zhou Qing has been through to have his current strength.

In this test, many people were injured, some seriously. After all, the monsters were very ferocious and would not show mercy to humans, but no one died.

That's enough.

"This month's True Transmission Qualification Test has ended." Ermu said: "Shuiyue Peak Zhou Qing, Ninth Peak Qi Yunyuan, Chunqiu Peak Fang Yuan, Twenty-first Peak Yin Xing, Thirty-sixth Peak Jiang Bei, a total of five people have passed the test."

Every time a name was called, the eyes of the other disciples would be focused there for a while, which allowed Zhou Qing to figure out who the other four people were.

Qi Yunyuan was a young man dressed in blue with a superior appearance, while Fang Yuan looked somewhat inconspicuous, with ordinary features and dressed in black.

Yin Xing was a woman dressed in coarse linen clothes. She had a pretty face but a cold expression.

Jiang Bei was a little strange. Zhou Qing always felt that he looked like he was still hungover.

These people can be considered his “peers”.

Ermu paused, then continued:

"Many disciples passed the test this time. I am very pleased, especially Shuiyue Peak's Zhou Qing. His performance was perfect and his talent is unparalleled. I will report everything that happened today to the temple truthfully."

Hearing this, many people looked at Zhou Qing with envy.

Anyone who is not blind will know how perfect Zhou Qing’s performance was. With such talent and strength, he will definitely be highly valued by the sect after this test.

The future is bright.

Five people passed the test, but can ranking first and ranking fifth be the same?

Every performance of a disciple in the sect will have a great impact on his future treatment and status in the sect.

I wonder how much attention Zhou Qing, who suddenly appeared, will get this time...

Some people wish they could replace Zhou Qing and take that position themselves.

"I also hope that other disciples can work hard in the future, take these five people as their goal, keep improving, and don't be discouraged or lazy!"

"Follow the Lord's instructions!"

Ermu's power surged out again, and he took all his disciples and left here directly, returning to the outside of Wangchen Palace.

"Zhou Qing, Qi Yunyuan..."

Ermu called out their names one by one, "When you go back, prepare well. The temple will conduct a true test soon."

"I hope that all five of you can successfully advance to true disciples and strengthen the reputation of Xuandu."

"I will not disappoint the Palace Master's expectations!"

No matter what kind of person Ermu is, he still has to say some polite words at this time.

"Go away."

Ermu entered the Wangchen Palace, and only the disciples were left there. Everyone looked at each other, some were extremely melancholy, some were absent-minded, and some had a determined look.

Every qualification test is a cleansing of the disciples’ souls.

It's a painful feeling to watch others pass the test and soar into the sky, entering a world that is completely different from the inner gate.

Every time a test ends, there will always be people who are confused.

Is there still hope for me?

Should I still persist? Am I really not as good as those people? No one can answer these questions for them, only they themselves can give themselves an answer.

Someone looked at Zhou Qing. This person is too dazzling.

Some people also wanted to talk to Zhou Qing and get to know him, the first person who suddenly appeared.

Everyone believed that Zhou Qing would definitely become a true disciple, and it would undoubtedly be a great thing if they could establish some relationship with him.

Once you learn the true teachings, things will never be the same.

Every true disciple is independent within Xuandu Temple and has many inner disciples following him.

I can't pass the test, can't take the assessment, and can't become a true disciple, so I might as well follow a true disciple.

If you can't have your own True Transmission Peak, then you can have a seat on a True Transmission Peak in this way! And if you want to follow, of course you have to choose the best one to follow.

But at this time, a cold and indifferent voice sounded, and Luo Liuli appeared again.

"Let's go."

Zhou Qing nodded and walked to the crane. Luo Liuli's special crane flapped its wings and flew away into the blue sky.

Those who wanted to get to know Zhou Qing stopped and watched the crane fly away. They suddenly realized that they and this extraordinary genius who had suddenly appeared out of nowhere were not from the same world.

With extraordinary talent, outstanding strength, and such a background, he could be picked up by Dan Jun.

Even among the true disciples, he is top-notch.

This "true disciple" suddenly appeared in the world, came with a high profile, caused a storm, and left silently without any stay.

The sun in the sky intersects with the ground at sunrise and sunset, but that is just an illusion seen by the eyes.

The sun and the ground are never on the same level.

Qi Yunyuan left with an expressionless face, unable to maintain his composure any longer.

He planned very well, passing the test in the best, most perfect and strongest manner, becoming the first person in this test, and then passing the true teaching assessment, and then rising rapidly.

For this reason, Qi Yunyuan deliberately chose to take the test this month.

Unfortunately, things don't always go as planned.

But it doesn’t matter, the future will prove who is the better one.

…

“Well done.”

On the back of the crane, Luo Liuli expressed her affirmation of Zhou Qing's performance.

"Not only is what Junior Sister said not exaggerated, but it was also a bit conservative and failed to fully describe your talent."

"It is rare in the world to be able to cultivate to this level in an environment like Black Cloud Town."

Zhou Qing said modestly: "It was just luck."

"There is no such thing as luck in cultivation." Luo Liuli shook his head and said:

"As for the phantom monster you met last time, everything she said was false. You don't have to take it to heart."

"There is absolutely no possibility for monsters, humans, and other races in this world to coexist."

"I won't believe it." Zhou Qing smiled.

"That monster is full of lies. I can see that even if it can retain its intelligence, it is still a monster dominated by a brutal desire for killing."

"The words of this monster are worthless."

A race that is born with a crazy and bloodthirsty nature, you say it doesn't want to invade other races, isn't that funny?

Man is born evil by nature and needs correct education and guidance to get on the right track. Even so, demons who lose their humanity are often born.

Not to mention this kind of monster which is violent by nature and cannot be educated.

They really don't deserve to hear reason, just send them directly to hell.

"But what exactly is this monster?" Zhou Qing asked curiously:

"I've never seen them before, nor heard of them."

"I don't know much."

Luo Liuli replied: "This is a secret in Xuandu Temple."

"Generally speaking, one needs to cultivate to the Huangquan Realm or the Chedi Realm to get some information about the origins of monsters, and one needs to reach the Biluo Realm or the Tongtian Realm to know all the information."

Even at Huangquan Chedi Realm, they could only obtain a little information. How could the confidentiality level be so high? Zhou Qing was secretly shocked, and then he immediately stopped asking questions.

Luo Liuli didn't know much, and he certainly couldn't reveal it to a potential disciple.

Zhou Qing suppressed his curiosity and made himself forget about the matter.

Sometimes the more you know, the more dangerous it is.

With this level of secrecy, it would be better for him not to ask about it right now. Otherwise, if anything happens, he won’t be able to bear it.

Zhou Qing then asked another question, "Five people passed the test this time. Is this a lot or a little?"

"A lot." Luo Liuli gave the answer without thinking.

"In the past, only one or two people would pass each test, and most of the time, no one would pass."

There are twelve true teaching qualification tests a year, and it is impossible for anyone to pass every time.

It is normal for no one to pass.

Zhou Qing was surprised, "Is this time so special?"

He suddenly appeared, which was not a normal situation, which means that even without him, four people would have passed the level this time.

Compared with the past, the number has increased dramatically.

"When you were undergoing the test, Palace Master Wangchen and his men mentioned this issue. They have some understanding of it."

Luo Liuli explained: "Yin Xing and Jiang Bei had already expressed their intention to take the test this month and pass the test to get promoted at the end of last year."

"These two have been practicing a certain technique. They completed it completely last month and are confident they will pass the test this month."

For various reasons, some inner disciples have obtained opportunities that allow them to take their strength to a higher level, but they also need time to digest and improve, so they will lie dormant for the time being.

Once your strength has greatly improved, take part in the test as soon as possible.

Xuandu Temple is very large, and every disciple has to come into contact with many people, including fellow disciples or elders in the sect.

It is not surprising that their plan would spread outside. After all, it is not something that needs to be kept absolutely confidential, and there is no limit to the number of people who can pass each test.

Even if some disciples are confident that they can pass the test at a certain time in the future, he will take the initiative to leak the news and make it known.

This is beneficial. The deacons and elders of the inner sect have completely different attitudes towards those disciples who have the potential to be promoted to the true teachings.

And if the news is confirmed to be true after verification, then that disciple may be able to receive a certain degree of resource support in the future.

In any of the thirty-six inner peaks, the birth of a true disciple is considered an achievement of the deacons and elders on the peak and will be rewarded by the temple, so they have no choice but to pay attention to it.

"And Qi Yunyuan, after learning about the intentions of those two people, deliberately took part in the test with them." Luo Liuli continued:

"He already has the ability to pass the test, he is just waiting for Yin Xing and the others."

"Moreover, he also persuaded Jiang Bei to take the test this month as well."

Zhou Qing was a little surprised when he heard this, "Did you choose this month on purpose?"

Luo Liuli was very patient with Zhou Qing and didn't seem annoyed talking to him about these things.

Or maybe with Luo Liuli's personality, she doesn't think it matters whether she speaks or not.

"The more people who pass, the better the reward for ranking first that month."

Having said that, Luo Liuli glanced at Zhou Qing.

"There are five of you who have passed this time. This is considered excellent in previous tests. Your performance is obvious to all. After you complete the true teaching assessment, the temple will give you a very good reward based on your ranking in the test."

"It's a good thing that you took part in this month's test."

Zhou Qing's eyes were filled with joy; he had not expected such a surprise.

Xuandu Temple is indeed very generous.

However, it can also be seen from these aspects that Xuandu Temple does encourage competition among disciples.

"No wonder I always feel that there's something wrong with the way Qi Yunyuan looks at me. This time he probably bears a grudge against me..."

Please...collect 6_9_book_bar (Six//Nine//Book//bar)

The case was solved. It turned out that it was his sudden appearance that snatched away the center position on the stage that he had carefully prepared for him.

Qi Yunyuan must be thinking of stepping on Fang Yuan and the others to gain more attention and rewards in the temple.

What can I do?

Zhou Qing actually didn't mean it, and he didn't know Qi Yunyuan's plan. After all, he came to Xuandu Temple at the end of February and was bound to take part in the March test. He couldn't wait another month.

But if Zhou Qing knew Qi Yunyuan's plan in advance...

Then he will still come and interfere.

"With your current strength and cultivation speed, Qi Yunyuan will not pose any threat to you, but he has two older brothers, so you have to be careful."

Luo Liuli was obviously a smart person and reminded Zhou Qing directly.

"His second brother, Qi Yunhai, has long been a true disciple, and is ranked third among the top ten true disciples. He is a marrow-washing warrior."

"His eldest brother Qi Yunxiao was the first true disciple of that generation. He cultivated both the soul and martial arts, and is now an elder in the temple."

Zhou Qing's expression became more solemn. He didn't expect that the three Qi brothers were so talented and all three of them had true inheritance.

Zhou Qing took Luo Liuli's reminder to heart.

Although he and Qi Yunyuan had never spoken a word to each other, for Qi Yunyuan, his first place was undoubtedly an offense to him.

The first position belongs to the capable one. Can you blame others if you are not capable enough?

able.

Instead of reflecting on yourself, it is better to blame others.

Perhaps Qi Yunyuan is a generous person and doesn't care about these things, but Zhou Qing cannot prejudge that he is generous.

Zhou Qing asked: "The three Qi brothers are all so outstanding, is the Qi family also a strong family?"

“The three brothers Qi Yunxiao are not from a big family, but from a True Blood family in Hanzhou.” Luo Liuli shook her head.

"However, Qi Yunxiao first worshipped a reclusive Huangquan Peak Master as his master, and then married into the Su family. The power behind him is already extremely huge."

Zhou Qing nodded silently. He now only hoped that Brother Qi would be kind.

If you're not kind, that's okay.

It's as if he has no thighs.

He held Luo Liuli's thighs very tightly.

"What about Jiang Bei? Did he already have the strength to pass the test?"

"Jiang Bei... He is a disciple of the Jiang family. He has great talent. I have heard about him."

Now Zhou Qing had a general impression of Jiang Bei's good talent.

Since even the nerdy girl Luo Liuli has heard of him, his talent must be beyond doubt.

"However, two years ago, when his fiancée, who was engaged to Jiang Bei, was undergoing the true teaching test, she unexpectedly encountered an evil demon and was killed. After that, he fell silent."

"Palace Master Wangchen and the others don't know how Qi Yunyuan persuaded him to take part in this test."

Zhou Qing was silent, it turned out that he was trapped by love.

He thought of the situation at Suwol Peak.

Lu Qingmo's eldest senior brother and second senior sister were a pair of Taoist companions, but his second senior sister died outside, and then the eldest senior brother also left Xuandu Temple not long after, and has not appeared for many years.

The crane arrived at Shuiyue Peak. After Zhou Qing came down, Luo Liuli left again.

She was going to go find Deputy Abbot Zhuge and talk about Zhou Qing's assessment of the true teachings, and try to arrange it as soon as possible.

Not long after Luo Liuli left, Qin Ming came to Shuiyue Peak. When he saw Zhou Qing, he smiled and congratulated him, obviously having received the news.

After congratulating, Qin Ming solemnly reminded Zhou Qing to be careful of Qi Yunyuan.

Obviously, Qin Ming also thought of this.

Zhou Qing nodded and said, "Senior Luo has already told me about the situation of the Qi brothers."

"It's good that you know the pros and cons." Qin Ming said again:

"In fact, even if there is no today's incident, you and the Qi brothers will most likely not be the same kind of people in the future."

"They are the rising stars of the aristocratic family lineage, the stars of tomorrow, and they conflict with our master-disciple lineage in many ways."

"Didn't Qi Yunxiao first take a peak master from Huangquan Realm as his master?" Zhou Qing wondered.

"Logically speaking, shouldn't he also be from the master-disciple lineage?"

Factions are divided according to first come first served. You will be regarded as a member of the faction that you are marked by first.

Even if there is contact with other factions later, this generally will not change.

Even if a person from an aristocratic family takes the master of Shuiyue Peak as his master, others will not think that he is a master-disciple relationship unless he openly, resolutely and thoroughly cuts ties with the aristocratic family.

The Qi family, from which the three Qi brothers came, was only a true blood family in Hanzhou. The aristocratic family that Qin Ming mentioned referred to the big families within Xuandu Temple.

The families outside Xuandu Temple have nothing to do with it.

Qin Ming sneered when he heard this:

"It should have been so, but Qi Yunxiao later joined the Su family completely, betrayed the master-disciple relationship, and even changed his master's position."

In other words, the master and disciple lineage lost a Huangquan master...

Zhou Qing shook his head. "If an outsider completely joins the Su family, wouldn't that make him a son-in-law?"

Zhou Qing respects other people's choices, but he definitely won't become a son-in-law.

"Anyway, you should be careful of the Qi brothers in the future."

"Let's not talk about that. You are now completely famous in Xuandu Temple. At least among the disciples, everyone knows you."

Zhou Qing smiled and said:

"It seems that I have to continue working hard to let more people know my name, not just my disciples."

On the thirty-six inner peaks and the seventy-two outer peaks, notices were immediately issued to inform all inner and outer disciples of the results of the true transmission qualification test.

This is a routine occurrence after every test, but this time the announcement has set off a storm unlike anything seen before.

Countless disciples stood near the notice, reading its contents. At first, they were a little confused at first glance.

First place: Zhou Qing from Shuiyue Peak.

"Zhou Qing? Who is this? Where did he come from? Why haven't I heard of him before? He is actually the first place in this qualification test? Where is Senior Brother Qi?"

I have many doubts and am quite confused.

But in the next moment, after seeing Zhou Qing's results, all the people in front of the notice seemed to be strangled by the neck and could not speak.

Minor success in bone refining, passed the second level of the third round of the Ten Thousand Demons Tower! In the late stage of the day tour, passed the first level of the fifth round of the Ten Thousand Demons Tower! Senior Brother Qi, who some people were concerned about, had his information below Zhou Qing, but no one looked at the information after the first place, and everyone was staring at Zhou Qing's results.

It's getting dark. Could it be that we are already dreaming? Or are we mistaken? But how could such a low-level mistake appear in the notice issued by Wangchen Palace?

Everyone quickly calculated in their minds what level of opponent Zhou Qing would face in the Ten Thousand Demons Tower with his strength...

Hiss! One after another, the sound of people sucking in cold air continued to be heard on each peak, and the entire Xuandu Temple seemed to have become much warmer.

"What's going on?"

"Too horrifying, unbelievable, such a record is like a miracle, and he is just an inner sect disciple!"

"Where on earth did this fierce man come from? There is no such disciple in Shuiyue Peak?!"

“…”

Countless discussions were heard in each peak. The discussions were extremely intense, and everyone was guessing about Zhou Qing's identity and why he was so strong.

This is not normal. How could such a person be unknown before, and was only an inner disciple? As for Senior Brother Qi Yunyuan, who had a long-standing reputation in Xuandu Temple, he had long been forgotten in the corner.

Even if someone mentioned it, it would appear at the same time as Zhou Qing's name.

For example: Zhou Qing is so much stronger than Senior Brother Qi! There is a huge gap between Senior Brother Qi and Zhou Qing.

The 108 mountains quickly received the news, and then some disciples who had connections with the Xuan Du masters began to spread the news to the major true teaching peaks.

Those who have already mastered the true teachings of Xuan Du will generally pay attention to the information of later true teachings, because when the later ones formally complete the true teaching assessment, they will become their opponents and competitors, and they cannot ignore them.

But this time the information was too shocking and outrageous. After receiving the news, many true disciples fell silent and felt the pressure.

Many people had a hunch.

The fierce dragon is coming across the river.

At the same time, he also developed a strong curiosity about Zhou Qing.

Who is this terrifying figure who suddenly appeared? What is his origin? Investigate, investigate this Zhou Qing thoroughly!

The news about Zhou Qing continued to spread, and some elders in the Yin Shen Zhen Xue realm also heard about it. They were all surprised, and were even more shocked after learning more about it.

Later, the news also reached the ears of some higher-level powerful people. In these Xuanfa Mountains, no one knew who was connected to whom.

Generally speaking, senior executives at this level rarely care about qualification tests.

Not to mention the qualification test, even among those who have received the true teachings, it is hard to say how many will be able to reach their current level in the future.

But this time the commotion was really shocking.

They have seen many geniuses, and they don't care about some of the most outstanding ones, but if they are really outstanding to the extreme, they will still attract attention.

This young man named Zhou Qing didn't look like an inner sect disciple who went to take part in the test. Instead, he looked like a true disciple who went to sweep the area, to give strength to other disciples and to attack them.

And many people, after sighing and collecting some information about Zhou Qing, became keenly aware of something.

Today's young people are not simple. They carry so many opportunities and fortunes on their shoulders.

How did he end up at Shuiyue Peak? On this day, all the people in the Xuanfa Mountains were talking about a name.

After only three days in the mountains, his fame spread throughout Xuandu.
