Everyone listened quietly. No one was speaking, and apparently, they knew what the old man said but they did not feel that anything was out of the ordinary.
The old man paused for a while before he continued.
"Those who passed the guarantor qualification review are 33,613 in total. Before the official start of the trial, the elder had routinely asked if anyone possessed the blood of a beast or abyss and other physiques. If you do, please stand up and come closer to me. Upon confirmation, you will be directly exempted from selection. You will immediately rise up to the upper disciple rank."
As soon as this statement came out, the crowds who were not shocked at the scene previously were once again turbulent. A burst of arguments could be heard from time to time.
"The blood essence of a heavenly beast!"
Shi Mu was also shocked and he could not help but think of the azure ape ancestors. All he could do was let out a smile.
However, he was lucky enough to obtain the blood essence of the ancestors of the azure ape. It was not really the blood of the beasts unless it could be evolved to the remnants of the giant azure ape's blood essence.
The other party had also said this probability was minimal but in his nature to not give up.
After a time, no one stood up.
"Well, since there are no people, then according to the usual practice, I will explain to you the rules and precautions for the selection of disciples."
Despite the scene he just caused, the old man did not seem surprised and continued to speak.
Shi Mu regained himself to listen to what was coming next.
"The trial will be carried out in the secret territory of the Verdant Hills in the Green Waters for a period of one month. All of you have already obtained a Watery Vault Heaven Jade and a Qingshan Order. All you need to do is to enter the secret chamber by killing the beast demon and obtain their demon nucleus. The demon nucleus will be inhaled into the Qingshan Order. After the expiration of one month, the winner will be determined according to the points accumulated from the Qingshan Order. Note that the demon in the secret chamber was raised in a special way but it does not produce intelligence. However, its strength cannot be underestimated. If it is self-aware, it will immediately smash everything in its way to escape from the secret chamber to save itself. This means with the initiative to waive the eligibility for the election, the Qingshan Order will remain in the secret chamber," the old man said.
"I do wonder, will we be allowed to kill each other in the process?" a tall man with blue skin and a big mouth full of fangs asked, not far from the old man.
The voice just fell and many people showed a type of sinister smile.
"Silence! Although fighting is restricted in Qinglan City, there is no such restriction in the secret territory of the Verdant Hills in the Green Waters. Everyone can fight each other to seize the Qingshan order from others and classify each other's points as their own. The Holy Land of Qinglan will just look at the end result without enquiring about the process of it. In addition, since fights are inevitable, life or death is in your own hands." The old man said with an arched eyebrow.
The words intrigued the tall blue-skinned man but a few of the others around him seemed horrified at the idea.
Shi Mu was not surprised at all. After all, there were so many people participating in the trails, there was no need to fight each other.
Within the secret territory, compared with the less intelligent demon monsters there, the threat from the candidates was far greater.
"Well, this old man has said what he needs to. Lastly, I would like to remind you that the selection of disciples must be at the age of 100 years old and achieved an Earth-Grade Warrior rank or of Moon-Ranked Magician. If you use medicinal herbs, secret techniques or any other means to temporarily improve yourself and people who do not meet the requirements of the age, I advise you to retreat early. Don't dig yourself a hole," the old man said while looking to the side slowly.
Dozens of people in the crowd began to leave the scene.
However, the majority of them had an excited expression across their faces, eager to try out.
"Time's up!" The old man screamed at the top of his lungs.
As he said, the old man's body swelled up and walked toward the tall purple tree that stood three or four hundred feet.
His eyes were bright and gleaming as his hands lifted. The fingers turned like a wheel in front of his chest and the roads were shot and smashed into the purple trees.
With the fading of the charm magic, the surface of the seemingly calm purple tree suddenly lit up and the light quickly spread along with the roots to the thick trunk to the waterfall-like vines dyed with a layer of purple crystal rays.
Once the old man with the arched eyebrows saw this, he opened his mouth wide and a triangular-shaped bronze key flew out of it.
The key slowly floated to the top of the old man's head and lit up with a purple glow. As it turned into a purple light, it shot into the giant tree behind the old man and disappeared.
Buzz buzz…!
Along with the strong spiritual fluctuation, the purple vines that floated down like a waterfall slowly turned and became blurred until they disappeared, forming a huge purple vortex.
There was a wave of space fluctuations in the center of the vortex. The surface of the purple giant tree was distorted and blurred. There was a huge space door covering almost the entire tree, though it was blurred and had a strong spatial fluctuation.
"There's an inbound!"
As the old man screamed, thousands of shadows appeared everywhere. He immediately rushed to the grounds and and flocked to the huge space door.
At the moment these people touched the huge space door, they were like mud cows entering the sea. They all flashed in and disappeared.
A few more screams that could be heard!
There were seven or eight people at the moment of entering the space door. As their bodies were covered with purple light, they burst into a bloody fog.
Shi Mu's eyes flashed with golden light and imprinted such a scene into his eyes that he was left stunned.
Obviously, these people are the ones known as the Muddy Water Demon Catcher and all of them had used their secret technique to enhance the realm. They were desperate to get into the secret chamber but due to the ban on the restriction, they all died as a result. The end of it was quite miserable.
The violent sound of tens of thousands of people surging and the buzzing sounds from the space quickly slammed those screams. The remaining of them instantly rushed into the space door.
A variety of individual shapes converged into a huge torrent which rushed into the huge space door where the purple trees were located. The scene was quite spectacular.
Shi Mu observed for a moment and just when he was about to enter, he suddenly turned his head and looked in the direction not far away. Several figures immediately caught his eyes.
Two of them were red-haired though one was a male and another female. They looked somewhat familiar.
The red-haired girl had an eye-catching figure while the young man was none other than the one he had once had an encounter with.
The red-haired girl did not look at him but Na Ma Lie was already looking at him. After seeing Shi Mu, he did not show any sign of anger but smiled at him kindly.
But then, under the urging of the girl next to her, several people jumped up and flew toward the space door.
However, as the red-haired girl turned to the front of the space door, she turned to look at Shi Mu. Just as quickly, she swayed and disappeared into the space door along with the others.
Shi Mu looked at the figures disappear one by one and smiled slightly too as he flew in the same direction.
