Chapter 2188 Jiuyuan Lake
As soon as these words came out, everyone present showed surprise.
The owner of Xuanji Island has always been unpredictable. I didn’t expect that he would take the initiative to praise others, and even predicted that the other party would definitely be on the list.
You know, there are more than 60 masters of the Tribulation Realm in this venue, and each of them is extremely talented and magnificent. Which one is not the most famous one in the world?
At least half of them are not on the list. They came here specifically to challenge this year, but Baixiao layman didn't see anyone favoring them.
"Who is this person? How could he be praised so highly by the island owner!" Many monks who had never participated in the exchange meeting couldn't help but ask people.
"I don't know... It is said that he is a casual cultivator named 'Liu Xundao'. I have never heard of it before."
"Why did such a master suddenly appear? No way. Someone is disguising themselves and changing their identity, right?" someone questioned.
“My Taoist friend is joking, where is Xuanji Island? There is a treasured mirror on the island, as well as mysterious restrictions left by previous island owners. Who dares not to show his true face to others?”
"That's right..." The man from before nodded.
Everyone was talking a lot, guessing Liu Xundao's identity, and all kinds of fantastic ideas were all kinds of wonderful.
Hu Quandou, however, narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Liang Yan carefully for a moment, looking thoughtful.
As for Shen Biyou and Empress Yuhua, the former was smiling and could see that he was really happy; the latter was expressionless and seemed indifferent to Liu Xundao.
"The island owner is ridiculous. There are countless heroes in the world. Liu is just here to meet the world. I am afraid he will disappoint the island owner." Liang Yan laughed.
Practice Baixiao shook his head, said no more, turned around, and appeared in the main seat with Hua Qingdai.
The Taoist couple sat side by side and smiled at everyone.
"It is rare for heroes from all over the world to gather here, which makes Xuanji Island shine. Today, my wife and I will have tea instead of wine to toast all the heroes!"
After saying that, Hua Qingdai and Hua Qingdai simultaneously Raise your glass and drink it all in one gulp.
“The island owner is very polite.”
Everyone present raised their glasses and drank the wine together.
Baixiao layman put down his wine glass, sighed, and said leisurely: "Everyone knows that I, Yuan Qianfan, have no hope of becoming a saint in this life. Even if I live for a thousand years, I will just waste my time..."
Having said this, he suddenly laughed again: " However, I love following the power of the dragon and tasting the heroes of the world, just like tasting fine wine! No matter who among you has the hope of conquering the holy path, I am willing to help you!”
“The island owner is upright and upright, I’ll wait for you! I admire you!" someone shouted.
"Haha, the owner of Xuanji Island has extraordinary bearing. We have heard about it for a long time, and when we meet today, it is true!"
......
Listening to everyone's compliments, layman Baixiao smiled slightly, then turned his eyes to the three people beside him.
Hu Quandou, Shen Biyou, and Empress Yuhua all have cultivation levels in the sub-sage realm. Naturally, they do not sit with everyone, but are arranged next to the island owner's seat.
“My Xuanji Island has been able to stand for many years without falling down, thanks to the support of the Taoist League and the Confucian League. Yuan is really grateful that these two Taoist friends can come and bear witness in today’s grand gathering!”
"Island owner, you're welcome. Xuanji Island has a close relationship with our Dao Alliance. It's appropriate for Shen to come here." Although Shen Biyou is a Dao Alliance monk, he is like a humble gentleman and as gentle as jade.
In contrast, Empress Yuhua was much colder, as if it was just a routine matter, she nodded slightly to Yuan Qianfan.
Yuan Qianfan didn't care. After greeting Shen Biyou and Empress Yuhua one after another, he looked at the short old man sitting in the third seat.
"Brother Hu, you have become famous in the past hundred years!" Yuan Qianfan laughed.
"Easy to say, easy to say!"
Hu Quandou looked proud, showing no trace of humility: "I happened to be busy at the last Pindan Conference, otherwise those cats and dogs How can a dog be in the top twenty? I will definitely bring it when I come here this year. Island Master Yuan, don’t feel bad if you take away a ‘Tian-Building Pill’!”
“Brother Hu has the appearance of becoming a saint, so a mere ‘Tian-Building Pill’ is nothing, as long as fellow Taoist ranks among the top two! Ten, my Xuanji Island is willing to spend resources to help fellow Taoists become saints!”
"The island owner is so generous!" Hu Quandou was happy to be praised by him and couldn't help but smile: "If I become a saint, I will definitely take care of Xuanji Island in the future!"
"Haha, then I will rely on Brother Dao Yes." Yuan Qianfan smiled slightly.
The conversation between these two people made Shen Biyou and Empress Yuhua frown slightly.
How can the road to sainthood be so simple? Listening to Hu Quandou talk and laugh, it seems that he is destined to become a saint. It is simply ridiculous!
“It’s getting late, can the Pindan Conference begin?”
Behind the veil, Empress Yuhua opened her red lips lightly and coldly interrupted the conversation between the two.
Although this woman's attitude was cold, Yuan Qianfan was not displeased at all. He smiled and nodded and said: "Okay, fellow Taoists, you have been waiting for a long time, and I will not waste everyone's time. I will take you here. Go to 'Jiuyuan Lake'."
After that, he took out a stone from his sleeve.
The stone is orange-yellow with many mottled moss on it. It looks very old, and there is an ancient rune engraved in the middle.
Even with Liang Yan's knowledge, he couldn't tell the origin of this rune.
Yuan Qianfan made a secret with one hand, drove several secrets into the stone, and then raised it high.
I saw a flash of light from the rune, and a moment later it burst out into a silvery gray light, flowing like mercury in the middle of the white jade square.
Everyone was attracted by this magical scene and looked at the ground of the square.
On the white jade in the sea of clouds, a huge rune appeared. It complemented the ancient runes on the stone, and soon formed a colorful glow.
This glow enveloped the entire square, and then there was a muffled "rumbling" sound, and the entire White Jade Square actually began to spin!
Many of the people present, like Liang Yan, were participating in the Pindan Conference for the first time.
Seeing themselves enveloped in the colorful glow, and the entire square starting to spin, these people couldn't help but become wary.
But when they turned their eyes and saw the calm expressions of Shen Biyou and Empress Yuhua, they felt a little more relaxed.
In Dongyun Lingzhou, the prestige of the Dao League and the Confucian League is still very high. With these two people in charge, Xuanji Island does not dare to play any tricks.
At this moment, the White Jade Square is rotating faster and faster, and the surrounding scenery is like a glimpse of light, which is dazzling.
Suddenly, there was another muffled sound, and the White Jade Square suddenly sank!
Caught off guard, even Liang Yan frowned slightly, feeling slightly surprised.
I saw the surrounding scenery changing, the sea of clouds and white mist gradually disappearing, the White Jade Square sinking rapidly, as if falling into a bottomless abyss!
Everyone gradually fell into the darkness, and the power of chaotic space surrounded the vicinity, forming turbulent winds, roaring, and terrifying.
It was like a big mouth that swallowed everyone mercilessly!
Most of the monks would be frightened when they saw this situation, but those in the White Jade Square were all Huajie Ancestors, and they were extremely talented Huajie Ancestors, and their expressions did not change at all.
Everyone sat in their seats in a daze, just waiting for the white jade square to descend to the bottom.
I don’t know how long it took, but the power of the surrounding space gradually stabilized, and dots of faint fluorescent lights appeared in the darkness. The White Jade Square finally came to a stop, and then split into pieces in mid-air, turning into the breeze and slowly dissipating.
Everyone was still sitting on the cloud platform. Looking around, they saw a deep lake below. There were dots of fluorescent lights on the lake, like stars in a quiet night, twinkling uncertainly.
"It seems that this is Jiuyuan Lake... I didn't expect that Yunhai Square was actually the entrance." Liang Yan looked around, feeling slightly surprised.
At this moment, Yuan Qianfan's voice slowly sounded: "Fellow Taoists, Jiuyuan Lake has arrived. This lake was built by my Yuan family ancestor, Old Man Xuanji. It can observe luck, character, and aptitude. ...and many other factors to infer a person's future. The holy path is elusive, this kind of inference is just a glimpse, you can use it as a reference.”
“Island Master, let’s get started!”
Some of you have participated in the Pindan Conference. I’m no stranger to this, and I can’t wait at this point.
Seeing this, Yuan Qianfan smiled slightly and took out a white lotus from his sleeve.
The white lotus has nine petals in total, each petal has complex veins, and together they form a mysterious rune.
“Go!”
Yuan Qianfan waved his sleeves and threw Bai Lian into Jiuyuan Lake.
As the white lotus slowly sinks, the lake surface fluctuates, and five colors of rays of light appear one after another, as if a gem is awakening in the darkness.
Liang Yan had been observing secretly. He suddenly noticed that his reflection on the lake moved strangely.
"Huh?"
Liang Yan raised his eyebrows and looked carefully.
I saw that the reflection seemed to have a life of its own. What was reflected was no longer my own movements and demeanor, but seemed to be another self.
This scene made Liang Yan extremely surprised.
But something even weirder was yet to come. In just a moment, his reflection actually stood up from the lake!
"What kind of secret technique is this?"
Liang Yan was wary, looking around and found that the same scene appeared in various places in Jiuyuan Lake.
Except for the island owner, deputy island owner and a few others, the reflections of all the monks who participated in the Pindan Conference stood up from the lake.
"The holy path is vast and the journey to the stars is unpredictable!"
Yuan Qianfan groaned softly, made secrets with both hands, and drove several secrets into the lake in succession.
At this moment, the lake surface boiled, and different colors of glow appeared on each reflection. Some were cyan, some were purple, and some were golden.
Everyone looked at their own reflection. For a moment, their faces had different expressions of sadness and joy.
"Golden! Haha, I am actually golden!" A middle-aged scribe exclaimed.
This man’s name is Ximen Hai, and he is the master of Yanlong Castle.
Although he is the leader of a sect, the power of the sect is far inferior to that of major sects such as the Burning Sky Sect and Tianyi Sect. He has been unknown before and is not favored by everyone.
Unexpectedly, his reflection in Jiuyuan Lake was actually golden!
As long as there is a golden reflection, it means that Ximen Hai must have something special about it, and it is almost certain to enter the top thirty of the Hidden Dragon List.
For example, if his understanding, qualifications, and character are all average, then his luck must be ridiculously strong!
Ximen Hai was full of joy at this time.
However, some people are happy and some are sad.
Of the more than 60 reflections on the lake, less than half are blue. These people have almost missed the list. Only monks with purple reflections are eligible to compete for the chance to be on the list.
The reflections of Zhao Sheng, Zhang Chong and Wen Wangqiu are all red.
They were originally monks on the Hidden Dragon List. This time they came to participate in the Pindan Conference just to challenge higher-level existences, so the result was not surprising.
None of these three people looked at their own reflections carefully. Instead, they all looked at Liang Yan's reflection.
The next moment, the three of them were surprised.
"Brother Zhao, am I right?" Zhang Chong murmured.
Zhao Sheng also looked confused: "I also suspect that I saw it wrong... Look carefully, his reflection seems to be a rare... gray color?!"
Gray reflection Appearing on the lake, it immediately attracted everyone's attention.
The grades of Jiuyuan Lake, from high to low, are gold, red, purple, green, and gray. If you want to enter the Hidden Dragon List, you must at least be purple. Cyan is hopeless, and gray...< br>
Gray is unfashionable!
At this moment, Liang Yan was sitting on the cloud platform, looking down at his reflection, his face changing.
"What is going on? Jiuyuan Lake means...I, Liang Yan, will never become a saint in this life?"
In an instant, everyone's eyes fell on Liang Yan On Yan's body.
These people had different expressions. Some showed regret, while others were gloating...
"Seeing how seriously the island owner paid him so much, I thought he was some kind of hidden master. No. I thought it was actually a silver pewter gun tip, which looks useless!”
"Haha, I have long seen that this person has no hope of becoming a saint. How can he be compared to me, Ximen Hai?" Ximen Hai said with a proud look on his face.
"This is the truth. Not only is he inferior to Brother Ximen, he is inferior to all of us!"
"Gray... Haha, as far as I know, the Pindan Conference is about to begin. There has never been a gray reflection in thousands of years, right? Because a monk with such poor qualifications would never go to the island. Isn’t this self-defeating? "
...
Everyone There was a lot of discussion, and most people were watching Liang Yan's joke.
On the contrary, Zhao Sheng and the other three did not show disdain at this time, because they knew that even if Liang Yan's reflection was gray, it would be easy to defeat the three of them.
So, they were the most surprised.
"You think...could it be that Jiuyuan Lake made a mistake?" Zhao Sheng whispered.
Zhang Chongshen nodded in agreement: "Nine times out of ten, we are mistaken. This guy's strength is terrifying. If he doesn't even have a chance to attack the holy way, then we have no hope in this life. ”
Wen Wangqiu is like He almost recalled what happened a moment ago, swallowed involuntarily, and murmured: "Although I don't believe Jiuyuan Lake will make a mistake, if I am forced to choose one of the two, I still think Jiuyuan Lake will make a mistake." The lake is wrong..."
Just when everyone was paying attention to Liang Yan, a laugh came from the distance:
"Hahaha, double color! It is indeed double color! I have said it a long time ago, with my qualifications Must be among the top twenty!”
This laugh attracted everyone’s attention.
I saw it was Hu Quan Dou, and there were purple and blue reflections below him!
