After rebirth, she discovered the space golden finger

Today was the day when the selection for the Genius Ranking was about to begin. Almost all the cultivators in and outside of the Divine Realm City were heading to the Dao Observation Platform. Pei Yun and his companions also followed the mighty crowd forward...

Most of the cultivators were blocked outside the Guandao Platform. Pei Yun and the other three were able to enter the inner area of ​​the Guandao Platform because they had signed up for the Genius List selection.

At this moment, the viewing platform was almost full of people. The Genius List was a major event in Dongcangzhou and even the entire Haoyu Continent. The top ten sects in Dongcangzhou, as well as some small and medium-sized sects and various aristocratic families had sent elders and disciples to watch the competition.

Among all the registered cultivators, the descendants of these sects and families accounted for nearly 70%, and the remaining 30% were cultivators from other continents or independent cultivators.

Pei Yun and his group found a secluded corner and sat down. Compared to the bustling other places, this place was filled with lone cultivators or cultivators from other continents and overseas, creating a rather lonely atmosphere of being alone and powerless.

Moreover, Pei Yun could sense that some of the Dongcangzhou cultivators were looking at him with a hint of superiority and disdain...

At noon, the elders of the Taoist Temple finally arrived at the Taoist Observation Platform. In the center of the platform were nine chairs, corresponding to the nine elders who would judge the Genius List.

Pei Yun did not expect that Venerable Qin Gu was also one of the elders judging the results. He was wearing the purple-gold Taoist robe of the Jijian Sect, with a golden sword-shaped badge on his chest.

Not only him, the other eight elders of the Taoist Temple all wore golden badges of different shapes on their clothes. This was a symbol of the temple's identity. Pei Yun believed that at this moment all the disciples and elders of the temple present were proud to be part of the temple, including her.

A temple elder stood up and explained the selection rules for the Genius List:

"... for three months. You can come out early. During the battle with the demons in the border battlefield, you are not allowed to fight with the Taoists. Only the top 100 are ranked on the genius list, and the number and level of demons killed will be judged. The final ranking will be decided by the nine elders of our Taoist Temple..."

“Now, each monk who has registered to participate in the competition please take a jade token and engrave his or her name on it. Wear it in a conspicuous place on your body…” After the temple elder finished speaking, he waved his hand, and countless ownerless jade tokens appeared in the air.

Pei Yun and the other three randomly selected a jade token, sucked it into their hands, engraved their names on it as required, and then hung it around their waists.

"Applicants will come up on stage one by one and be transported to the periphery of the border battlefield..."

The nine Taoist temple elders all injected spiritual energy into the Taoist observation platform’s magic circle. After a few breaths, a dazzling multicolored light instantly burst out, reaching the sky…

There were more than 30,000 cultivators participating in the selection this time, and Pei Yun's group was ranked last. After the four of them entered the magic circle, they nodded slightly to Venerable Qin Gu who was looking at them.

After the four figures disappeared from the spot, an old man beside Qin Gu smiled and asked tentatively: "Elder Qin, are you familiar with these little guys?"

You should know that when a large number of disciples from Lian Ji Jian Zong entered the formation, Qin Gu didn't show any special reaction. Instead, it was these four unknown people who looked like casual cultivators that made Qin Gu show a little concern.

"A friendship between gentlemen." Qin Gu said lightly and did not explain any more.

Ever since Qin Yun defected from the Taoist sect and he stepped down as the elder of the Jijian Sect, he basically stopped interfering in the sect's affairs. After Qin Yun's death, he even went into seclusion for many years. Apart from dealing with the demons, he didn't want to care about the power struggles in the Taoist sect anymore.

The reason why he served as the judge of the Genius List this time was because he agreed on a whim after hearing that Pei Yun and four others were going to participate in the selection of the Genius List.

Pei Yun and other monks who participated in the selection were not directly teleported to the border battlefield, but came to the guard post at the border of the battlefield. There were groups of monks guarding here all year round. At the same time, an ancient demon-suppressing formation was set up at the border to prevent the demons from attacking the mortal world on a large scale...

The two leaders of the guard are also elders of the Taoist Temple. One of them said:

"The border battlefield is divided into the outer and inner areas. The deeper you go, the higher the level of the demons. You can judge based on your own strength. If you encounter serious danger, you can activate your jade cards and the border guards will come to rescue you. But remember, the border battlefield is very vast and there are many monks inside. The guards may not be able to rescue in time. I hope you will do what you can. Life and death are in your own hands..."

As he spoke, he pointed to the large formation that was emitting a bright blue light not far away, and said, "Go in! You must not drop the jade token. The jade token is proof of your identity. Only by activating the jade token can you pass through the formation..."

Pei Yun and the other three followed a large number of contestants into the barrier. As soon as she entered, she smelled a strong smell of blood. The spiritual energy in the border battlefield was very turbid, with spiritual energy and demonic energy mixed together. Before entering, the outside world was still blue and white clouds, but the sky here was gray, making people feel extremely depressed and heavy...

Pei Yun swallowed a heart-clearing pill, exhaled lightly, and gave the pill to the other three people.

What came into view was a piece of cracked and dry land, with signs of decay all around. From time to time, bloodstains could be seen, as well as many gnawed corpses...

"Your Excellency, Senior Brother Liang, why don't you go to the inner circle first! I'll stay in the outer circle..." Pei Yun knew that she was not strong enough to go to the inner circle and would only be a burden to the two of them.

As soon as they came in, the more than 30,000 cultivators who had originally gathered together to participate in the competition dispersed in different directions. Many cultivators quickly headed for the inner circle, and some sect disciples also moved in groups. In comparison, the four of them were really outnumbered...

"Junior Sister Pei and I will act together. Master, you and Senior Brother Liang can do whatever you want. Don't worry about us."

Luo Qi also agreed. He understood that his master had a good chance of making it into the top 100, but he didn't want to drag him down.

"No rush. This selection has three months to go. Let's see how things develop first. We can't rush into the inner circle rashly." Luo Rufeng spoke. He waved his hand and said, "Let's act together first and wait until we are familiar with the environment..."

"What Elder Luo said makes sense." Liang Feng said.

The four of them randomly chose a direction with heavy demonic energy and flew towards it...

At the same time, a huge, dazzling light screen appeared in the sky above the Dao Observation Platform, showing the situation of each participating cultivator on the border battlefield. At this moment, the eyes of countless people inside and outside the Dao Observation Platform were focused on this light screen...

The underground palace deep in the border battlefield——

"Second Prince, all the young Taoist monks have come in. There are estimated to be more than 30,000 of them..." the demon spy reported.

"The Genius List has been opened. There are many talented disciples among the little guys who came from the Dao Sect. They represent the future of the Dao Sect and the fortune of the Haoyu Continent. If we can kill as many of them as possible, the better..."

Second Prince Ye Luo looked at the topographic map in front of him and ordered, "Send more magic beasts and blood demons to besiege, and focus on those sect disciples..."

"Yes."

……

Outside the Border Battlefield——

"Fly to the left, there is a large group of magical beasts behind that mountain wall..." Luo Rufeng's spiritual sense was the first to detect the traces of the demons, and the other three immediately followed him.

Sure enough, after going around the mountain wall, a large group of densely packed monsters and a group of low-level blood demons were rushing towards them.

This was the first battle in the Border Region battlefield. Pei Yun's fighting spirit instantly increased, and he used the Wind and Thunder Palm that he had practiced not long ago...
