Cosmic Hegemony: I Just Want To Be A Wealthy Tyrant

Chapter 71 Twelve Earthly Branches Trials

Some words are only suitable for mentioning, and it is useless to say more.

Elder Li also understands that everyone has their own opportunities. If you ask too many questions, you will be suspected of prying into other people's privacy.

"There is no problem in recommending you to participate in the selection of core disciples, but there are some things I must say up front. The risks of selection are far beyond your imagination, and the proportion of disciples who die in each selection is more than 70%. Don't say that for someone with no background like you, even if you are There is no guarantee that the direct descendants of the elders of each peak will survive the selection. Once you participate in it, even if you regret it halfway and want to quit, it will be too late."

Tang Xiaoyu was shocked when he heard this. He did not expect that the selection of core disciples of a sect would have such a high mortality rate. Elder Li seemed to have seen what Tang Xiaoyu was thinking, and continued to say:

"There are some things that I shouldn't tell you now. But with your cultivation level, you will know some secrets sooner or later. Core disciple selection is actually just the internal name of our Primordial Origin Sect. Its real name is [Ten 2 Earthly Branches Trials].”

Speaking of this, Elder Li paused deliberately, as if he was trapped in a distant memory.

"One hundred thousand years ago, the Demon Race began to invade our world. In order to resist the invasion of the Demon Race, the three religions abandoned their sect differences and united with all the sects of the Human Race to start a 10,000-year-long war to exterminate demons. That battle, The fight turned the world upside down, and blood flowed like rivers. Countless sects were destroyed in that battle, countless people were displaced, the earth was mourned, lonely souls were everywhere, and the vegetation was withered. Demon Race also suffered heavy losses due to this war. No more. In the end, we had no choice but to sign an armistice agreement with us. How tragic this battle was, we descendants can't even imagine. The Human Race originally had tens of thousands of sects, but after the war, there were only twelve left. In order to keep us The Taoist inheritance of the land of China, the twelve disciples collected the inheritance of each sect and helped other sects rebuild the Taoist tradition on the ruins. Our Primordial Origin Sect and the other sixty-three middle sects were also rebuilt after that battle."

Tang Xiaoyu was stunned when he heard this. What kind of war would that be? In the end, only twelve sects were left after tens of thousands of sects were defeated. Countless sects have lost their orthodoxy. In the end, even after reconstruction, only the inheritance of sixty-four sects was restored. The remaining nearly ten thousand sects and the orthodoxy behind them were simply lost in the long river of time. I don’t know how magnificent the era when thousands of sects coexisted must have been before the war!

"It was also at that time that, in order to avoid internal friction in our Human Race, and at the same time to strengthen ourselves, the Twelve Great Sects gathered the inheritance of all sects and gathered the foundation of the entire Human Race to jointly form Three Great Sacred Lands. Three Great Sacred Since its creation, Lands has not belonged to any sect, but has been the treasure of our entire Human Race. Elites selected from all sects can enter Three Great Sacred Lands for further study. For tens of thousands of years, Three Great Sacred Lands has cultivated countless Prodigy for the Human Race. These Prodigy of the Human Race have improved and created more unique skills and inheritance based on their predecessors. Some of these unique skills and inheritance have been left in the Sacred Land for future generations to admire. Learning, part of it was inherited by later generations, creating new sects. It is no exaggeration to say that if the Twelve Greats did not come to visit, there would be no so-called Three Great Sacred Lands, and without the establishment of Three Great Sacred Lands, there would be no human race. The situation in front of us. Therefore, our Human Race has abandoned the suspicion of sects since tens of thousands of years ago and established a learning system with Three Great Sacred Lands as the core. Three hundred and sixty gates can pass thirty-six Heavenly Dipper Trials Enter the Sixty-fourth Middle School for further study. The Sixty-fourth Middle School passes the Twelve Earthly Branches Trials and enters the Twelve Great Branches for further study. The Twelve Great Branches also have their own selection methods to select places for cultivation in the Sacred Land."

Tang Xiaoyu listened to Elder Li's words and asked thoughtfully:

"Elder Li, if you have passed the Twelve Earthly Branches Trials and gone to the Twelve Sects, are you still not a disciple of our Primordial Origin Sect?"

Elder Li shook his head and smiled when he heard this:

"The Twelve Upper Sects and the Sixty-four Middle Sects have long been connected with each other. All our inheritances were collected and sorted out by the Twelve Upper Sects. Do you think the Twelve Upper Sects would not have the inheritances we have? Trial The fundamental purpose of the Prodigy of the Human Race is not to compete for those talented disciples. The reason why the trial mechanism is established is to allow us, Prodigy of the Human Race, to unite together and avoid infighting among the various sects. Therefore, as long as you can pass the trial, you You are not only a disciple of our Primordial Origin Sect, but also a disciple. If one day you are lucky enough to enter the Three Great Sacred Lands, our Primordial Origin Sect will only be proud of you, as long as you still exist. , we will have more say in Human Race."

Tang Xiaoyu asked with some confusion:

"In other words, I passed the Twelve Earthly Branches Trials, and not only am I a core disciple of the Primordial Origin Sect, but I can also become a disciple of a certain Twelve Earthly Branches Trials. Doesn't that mean that all the core disciples of our Primordial Origin Sect are coming to study? "

Elder Li smiled bitterly and said:

"Is it so easy to pass the Twelve Earthly Branches Trials! No disciple has passed the trial in the Primordial Origin Sect for seven consecutive years. Do you know why there are two core disciple quotas this time? Because no matter whether there are disciples who pass the trial, as long as you If you can survive the trial, you will have a chance to be selected as a core disciple. Of course, this also depends on your performance in the trial. So not all core disciples are coming to study. But as long as you can enter the door to study, , are all core disciples. It is a good thing for us, Primordial Origin Sect, that disciples can enter and study at home. In this way, we can save a lot of training resources for the sect, and the sect will have the opportunity to train more talented disciples. "

Tang Xiaoyu rolled his eyes and asked First Revolution:

"Then if the disciple is lucky enough to pass the trial and enter the door to study, will he be squeezed out by the door disciples? Will the door open up resources to us outside disciples?"

Elder Li looked solemn when he heard this and said in a deep voice:

"Where there are people, there will be rivers and lakes. Not to mention the door-to-door, even within our Primordial Origin Sect, there is no crowding out? If you don't even have this kind of character, I advise you not to participate in any trial. As for In terms of resources, you can rest assured that all disciples who pass the trials, whether they pass the thirty-six Heavenly Dipper Trials or the twelve Earthly Branches Trials, will be recorded in the Three Great Sacred Gates. All sect resources will be released to these disciples. , as long as you make enough contributions, you will be able to get everything that the disciples can redeem."

Tang Xiaoyu nodded secretly when he heard this. It is true. Places with many people will inevitably encounter various disputes. Just like in our real society, if you want to get ahead, you must learn to face this kind of dispute. Tang Xiaoyu glanced at Elder Li quietly and asked in a low voice:

"Disciple, I have one last thing to ask. I wonder if Senior Brother Wu Daozi from Heaven-Connecting Peak has participated in this trial?"

Upon hearing this, Elder Li's eyes showed a glint of light, and he smiled and said to Tang Xiaoyu:

"Is that Wu Daozi causing trouble for you? But you don't have to worry too much. Although he has also signed up for this selection, he will be despised if he attacks his fellow disciples in the trial place. As long as you don't leave him alone If you have a chance to get along, he won’t dare to attack you.”

Tang Xiaoyu's eyes lit up when he heard this, so Wu Daozi also signed up for this trial. In this case, I couldn’t even think about not participating.
