Starting My Cultivation With Time Management

Chapter 677: The Test of Refining the True Monarch

There are twelve masters of the Golden Que, and if more than twelve monks enter it, it means competition and elimination will inevitably come.

According to Qiu Changtian's speculation, the Orthodoxy originally arranged for twelve people to enter, on the one hand to avoid excessive competition, and on the other hand to prevent being discovered by the Demon Sect.

After all, the more people who know about the secret realm, the easier it is for the information to leak out.

On the contrary, if the scale is controlled in the hands of a few elites, it will be relatively safer-after all, the probability of traitors among the elites is the smallest.

Unfortunately, word of it eventually got out.

Judging from the relationship between the righteous and demon factions, the next competition and elimination must be extremely cruel, and it is very likely that they will attack and kill each other when they meet.

Qiu Changtian pinched a formula with his left hand, evaporated the moisture from his body and Junior Sister Xu's body, and then walked outside with her in his arms.

Thinking about it carefully, Jindan real people who enter the secret realm can be roughly divided into two types:

The first type is to take the initiative to attack and kill others; the second is to try to hide yourself to avoid conflicts.

After all, as long as there are no more than twelve people left, it will be fine. Unless you have absolute confidence in your own strength, you don't have to take the initiative to fight others. It is actually more beneficial to preserve your strength.

However, the rules of the Golden Que Secret Realm really only require us to fight each other until there are only twelve people left?

Qiu Changtian was deeply suspicious of this.

After walking on for a while, suddenly a few maids turned out from the front, and said with a smile:

The young master is here, my master is here to invite you.

Qiu Changtian:?

He soon realized that these maids were all illusions and had no physical existence.

May I ask who your master is? He frowned and asked cautiously.

My master is the True Monarch Liandu. The maids said with a smile, and they came to surround Qiu Changtian and lead him to go.

After turning a few corners, they entered a main hall.

I saw that the hall is magnificent, with two rows of tables and cases, and many precious and exotic fruits are displayed on it. There are also fairies playing the piano, singing and dancing in wonderful clothes, and the sound of silk and bamboo, which can be heard endlessly.

Sitting at the main seat is an old man, wearing a crown of seven stars, dressed in Qingxia crane clothes, and long scarlet shoes. In front of the lower table, there are several Jindan real people sitting.

Qiu Changtian scanned with his spiritual sense, and saw that two of them were real people from the Demon Sect that he didn't know, one was a real person of Jindan in Shushan (the Taoist name seemed to be called Miaodan), and the other was a master of Kunlun Jindan Realm. Senior sister Luo Baiyuan.

Although the expressions of the four were calm, they couldn't hide their uneasiness.

Two more distinguished guests! The old man in the upper seat clapped his hands and smiled, Come, please sit down!

Just as Qiu Changtian was about to answer, he felt an involuntary force pushing him to sit beside Luo Baiyuan.

The person in your arms has damaged spiritual consciousness. The old man said with a smile, You only need to drink half a ounce of wine to recover.

Thank you, my lord. Qiu Changtian didn't doubt that he was there, and after scanning the wine in the cup, he fed it to the junior sister in his arms.

After a few breaths, Xu Yinglian really woke up and turned around, propped himself up and looked around.

After a while, she realized that something was wrong, and asked Qiu Changtian a few words in a low voice.

I don't know, I think it's part of the trial arranged by the secret realm. Qiu Changtian replied, calmly savoring the food and drink at the table.

Seeing how calm his senior brother was, Xu Yinglian felt relieved and just scanned his surroundings vigilantly.

After a while, a round of singing and dancing ended, and the old man waved his hands to tell the dancers to step down, and said with a smile:

This old man is the true master of refinement. I invite you to come here, but I have something to ask for.

All the real people looked at each other, each speechless.

It wasn't that no one wanted to leave before, but as long as someone tried to get up, he would be pressed back on the seat by some invisible force.

Acting so domineeringly, it is clear that it is difficult to act by force, and it is just a fig leaf to say that it is begging.

So the Master Miao Dan in Shushan asked with an ugly face:

I don't know what the real king wants to ask for? I wait for my magic power to be low, I'm afraid I can't handle the things that the real king asked.

Hahahaha. Zhenjun Liandu stroked his beard and said with a smile, It's okay, just listen to me first.

In the Golden Que, the twelve main seats are in the hands of our twelve real monarchs stationed in the secret realm. If you want to take the seat, you must first pass our test.

Of course, there are many competitors in previous years, so the test often has several rounds, and a large number of competitors will be screened out.

Only twenty-four people entered this time, so there is only one round of trials.

Only twenty-four people entered? A thought quickly flashed through Qiu Changtian's mind.

In other words, only twelve people were dispatched from the Devil's Cult.

If it is said that the Orthodox Church dispatched twelve people in order to control the scale as much as possible and avoid leaking news; then, as a latecomer, why did the Devil's Cult also choose to control the scale?

Combined with the words of this Alchemist True Monarch, it is not difficult to draw a conclusion:

The more people there are, the more difficult the test will be, in order to wipe out as many people as possible.

Keep the number of people at a minimum of twelve in order to reduce the difficulty of the test as much as possible.

In other words, the basic difficulty of the test itself may have reached a level where it is difficult for us to pass...

The test on my side is very simple. Zhenjun Liandu smiled and said, I made a bet with Zhenjun Jiuhua who is next door. I want to choose one of you to teach a Taoism.

Before noon tomorrow, if anyone among you can guess who the person I selected is, then I will change the person I originally selected to the person who guessed correctly.

As for the original candidate who was guessed, it is counted as a failure in my trial. It is impossible to get the position of the Golden Que from me, so I can only try my luck with other true monarchs.

Of course, if the guess is wrong, the person who guessed wrong will also be counted as a trial failure.

On the other hand, at noon tomorrow, if someone can tell me who the chosen one is on the side of Zhenjun Jiuhua, I will give him the seat of the Golden Tower in my hand.

On the other hand, if someone from True Monarch Jiuhua guesses who my chosen one is, then all of you will be counted as failures in the trial.

Then what if someone on both sides guessed right, or neither side guessed right? Xu Yinglian said suddenly.

Both sides guessed right, or they didn't guess right, it is also counted as a failure of the trial. True Monarch Liandu said leisurely, Of course, the agreed teaching of Taoism is still valid.

Qiu Changtian: ……………

What a hassle!

If the content of the test is to kill each other and eliminate each other, it would be considered simple.

Now it is a battle of wits and schemes, which is obviously a lot of trouble.

To put it simply, we should try our best to find the selector of Jiuhua Zhenjun on the opposite side, and don't let the selector of our refining Zhenjun be found by the other party.

However, due to the possibility of notifying Zhenjun in advance and then changing people, this test is much more complicated than werewolf killing and guessing the identity.

You know, as long as you guess the chosen one of your own side, you can replace the person who learned Taoism from Zhenjun with yourself.

For example, if I find out that the selected person is the Miaodan real person from Shushan, I can secretly notify the real master Liandu, so as to replace the selected person with myself.

Due to the existence of the above rule, everyone has a strong enough motivation to do so.

In this way, not only is it necessary to compete with the real person opposite, but even our companions here cannot believe it...

Um?

If it's Junior Sister Xu, you shouldn't hide it from me, right?
