Chapter 205 The Golden Four! Entering the Devouring Demon Abyss! (Subscribe)
"It's started, it's started!"

At this moment, the cultivators in the Qingshan Sect's Trial Pavilion were all excited.

"This year it's not a mission-based competition, and Kyushu is the only one competing!"

"Am I the only one who cares about the number of spots for the Spirit Washing Pool this year? There are a full thousand!"

"But the difficulty is also much greater. It's a competition between all the cultivators from the Nine Provinces. Everyone knows about those monsters from the Central Province. They always win first place in the Nine Provinces Competition every year!"

"That's not the case. After all, there are still 100 extra places. If we divide each state, there will be 11 extra places. Our Qinzhou can be considered the second tier."

"That makes sense. I won't say any more. I need to go and meet up with my teammates as soon as possible. If I had known that I didn't need to accept the mission, why would I have stayed in the Trial Pavilion for so long!"

"Haha, the upper limit of the number of people in a team has been raised this year. There are two mid-stage or above Jindan cultivators missing. Is there anyone who hasn't joined the team yet?"

"The 2nd level secret realm is short of a late-stage bone forging physical cultivator. Brothers from the Physical Education College, please give one to me!"

"..."

For a moment, the tellers at the Trial Pavilion, who were originally preparing to work hard, were suddenly given an early shift.

The entire Trial Pavilion hall was transformed into a large recruitment site.

Many disciples crowded in the hall, shouting to recruit teammates.

Of course, there are also disciples who have formed teams long ago and have begun to gather together to discuss and prepare for the next secret realm strategy mission.

There are also some brave ones who have already taken the lead and entered the secret realm through the teleportation entrance of the Tiandao activity. The main thing is to race against time.

"Hiss~ This year's rules are so abnormal that they even opened up regional restrictions!"

Pan Peng took a breath of cold air.

The cultivators of the Nine Provinces of Diyuan still divided the land into sections and governed them even after they ascended to the Lingxu Realm.

Many activities, secret realms, and even rankings are divided into regions.

Apart from the Kyushu Competition held every ten years, there are very few activities in which monks from Kyushu can participate together.

The restrictions were lifted all of a sudden, catching everyone off guard.

"In other words, this year we will not only compete with monks from the same state, but also with monks from other states?"

He said so.

Diao Youcai frowned, obviously aware of the series of problems that would be caused by the opening of Kyushu.

The difficulty of competing for a spot in the Spirit Washing Pool...

Promoted.

Pan Peng looked around and said, "Where are Senior Brother Lin and Senior Sister Chu? They should have been promoted to the middle stage of foundation building, right? Why didn't they come to the trial pavilion?"

Diao Youcai then withdrew his thoughts and glanced at Pan Peng:
“Haha, kid, you’re not waiting for them to form a team together, are you? Do you think that just because Lin Mo is on the list, he can get a spot in the Spirit Washing Pool? I advise you not to be too naive!”

Pan Peng started learning more than a year earlier than Lin Mo and Chu Wange, which means that this year he will be able to catch up with their progress.

By next year, he will be left far behind by these two.

By then, let alone forming a team in the Tiandao event, it would be difficult to make an appointment even to go to an ordinary secret realm.

There is such a huge gap in cultivation level that it is useless no matter how good the relationship is.

However, Pan Peng shook his head very naturally and said, "If I team up with Senior Brother Lin and Senior Sister Chu, wouldn't that be a burden to them? Besides, I have already teamed up with the senior brothers in the same academy."

"But it's not for conquering the secret realm, but to form a maintenance team to grab business. My senior brother said that he would let me practice and gain experience at the same time!"

I almost forgot that this kid is from the Weapon Spirit Academy.

Diao Youcai reacted.

At this time, many monks of auxiliary professions would choose to form a team and enter the secret realm.

However, they come not for the purpose of clearing secret realms, but to earn extra money. Among them, the most are alchemists and weapon refiners, followed by formation practitioners.

Pan Peng's cultivation was not high enough, so his attempt to snatch a spot in the spirit pool was a bit far-fetched, and he was also not qualified to look for opportunities in the secret realm.

Instead of doing this, it would be better to follow my senior brother and join the maintenance team to earn some money.

"Hey, Senior Brother Diao, have you found your teammates yet?"

Pan Peng said in a teasing tone: "This time, the secret realm of Jiuzhou is fully opened. It is a good opportunity for our maintenance team to make money, but for someone like you who wants to rush to the top of the list, it may be difficult!"

It is quite difficult... Diao Youcai refused to admit it, and said with a straight back:

"What's there to be afraid of? My teammates are all ranked around the top 2 on the Qinzhou Liangyu List, and they are all Daoyuan Warriors. Our team's strength is definitely ranked among the top dozens among Qinzhou's nd-level cultivators. A place in the Spirit Washing Pool is nothing more than a piece of cake for us!"

After saying that, he came out from behind the counter and snorted:

"Since I don't have to work overtime today, I'm going to meet up with my teammates and enter the secret realm earlier so that I can score points earlier!"

As he spoke, he left the counter and walked out of the Trial Pavilion.

Diao Youcai was right. The duration of Tiandao's activities was at least ten days and at most one month.

And since this year it is a points system, the earlier you enter the secret realm, the greater the advantage.

Pan Peng touched his chin and sent a message to the seniors of Huiling Academy:
"Senior, I still haven't contacted Senior Brother Lin."

The message came back quickly, just three words -

"understood."

Pan Peng took a look at the inspiration and muttered:
"Why do you care so much about Senior Brother Lin? Logically speaking, they shouldn't be able to form a team, right..."

"No, maybe the senior has other intentions. Anyway, it's not something I can worry about."

He immediately denied his idea.

Time is running out, and he needs to meet up with his fellow brothers early and make adequate preparations.

Be sure to take advantage of the Tiandao event and make a fortune!
This will also lay a good financial foundation for next year's practice, so that you can have more time to stay in the Weapon Spirit Academy to refine weapons, without having to run around for practice.

And at this moment, there are many monks who have the same idea as him.

Although there are limited places for the Spirit Washing Pool in the Tiandao activities every year, the Tiandao activities themselves are full of opportunities.

Some of the things that cultivators gain from exploring the secret realms are even more valuable than the Soul Cleansing Pool.

The Tiandao Secret Realm is itself one of the secret realms with the most opportunities.

……

In the square at the gate of Huiling Academy.

"Damn Lin Mo, why haven't you replied to my message yet!"

Yu Linglong, who was using an invisibility spell, was drawing circles with it in the corner, silently cursing Lin Mo, this "big fake", in her heart.

She had hinted to Lin Mo to form a team several months ago.

I didn’t expect that I wouldn’t be able to contact anyone after the September season leaderboard ended.

For three whole months, she received no reply to her messages. It was as if the other party had evaporated from the face of the earth, disappearing without a trace. "Could this guy have died in some secret realm?"

She thought bitterly in her heart.

But it is obvious that if such a thing really happened, the people of Qingshan Sect should have discovered it, and would not have kept it secret until now.

After all, Lin Mo is a hot figure in Qingshan Sect and even in the entire Qinzhou recently.

If he had died, the news should have spread throughout the Qinzhou cultivation world.

Just as she was silently cursing Lin Mo, suddenly an idea struck her again.

Her eyes lit up and she quickly picked up the message, but she found that it was not a message from Lin Mo, but a message from her father. Her eyes suddenly dimmed a little, but she still clicked on the pop-up window of the message.

[Grand Elder (Annoying Person)]: "My dear daughter, have you thought it through? Do you want to participate in this Heavenly Dao event? Daddy has prepared a team for you. As long as you agree, you will definitely get a spot in this year's top-level Spirit Washing Pool!"

Yu Linglong frowned and replied irritably: "There are too many people. I don't want to go."

[Grand Elder (Annoying Person)]: "You're not going again? Do you have to wait until next year? You might be promoted to Golden Core by then, isn't it too late?"

Yu Linglong: "It's not like I have to use the Spirit Cleansing Pool to advance to the Golden Core stage. Can't I make a Golden Core without using the Spirit Cleansing Pool?"

[Grand Elder (Annoying Person)]: "That's not the way to say it. Everyone knows that after washing the spirit in the Spirit Washing Pool, it is easier to produce a high-quality elixir..."

Yu Linglong: "No need, it's just a first-grade golden elixir, just like it can't be formed without entering the Spirit Washing Pool."

[Grand Elder (Annoying Person)]: "Ah, that makes sense. My precious daughter is the best! It's just a first-grade golden elixir, so it's no problem."

Yu Linglong: "That's good to know! Okay, stop talking nonsense and you can leave now!"

[Grand Elder (Annoying Person)]: "You really don't want to consider the Heavenly Dao event? Your teammate is Zheng Yulong, who is from the same class as you. Although his aptitude is not as good as yours, he is the only one who can be used on the Qinzhou Liangyu Ranking. Do you want to consider it?"

Yu Linglong: "If you keep saying that, I won't let you find me for three days, no, three months!"

[Grand Elder (Annoying Person)]: "Okay, okay, I won't say anything more. I won't say anything more. It's up to you to decide whether to go or not, my dear daughter."

Yu Linglong snorted and closed the dialog box. After thinking for a while, she stretched out her fair finger and clicked on Lin Mo's profile picture. She edited a message and clicked send:
"Lin Mo, if you don't come out, I won't take you with me to Tiandao activities!"

After sending the message, she reached out and closed the dialog box.

Unexpectedly, the next second, the inspiration began to vibrate "beep beep", and the message popped up -

[Qingshan Sect’s most handsome guy (stupid thing)]: “No, little loli senior, please take me with you~”

She was delighted, but the next moment the other party sent another message: "Oh, I have two more people here, one physical cultivator and one sword cultivator, just the golden quartet."

Yu Linglong's fingers froze, and as she had severe social anxiety, she subconsciously wanted to reject the other party.

Unexpectedly, Lin Mo seemed to have predicted her thoughts and sent the third message without interruption:

"You don't want to reject me, do you? You'd better not. Senior Little Loli, you don't want your photo to be posted on the sect forum, do you?"

Damn Lin Mo!
Yu Linglong's hands were shaking as she held the inspiration. Her mood changed from the eagerness of waiting at the beginning to the desire to kill this "bastard" immediately.

But after a moment, she still typed a few words with trembling fingers:

"Who said I would refuse! Besides, I can lead you, but I have to be the captain!"

Lin Mo on the other side immediately replied: "Okay, okay, you are the captain and I am the commander, okay?"

Yu Linglong gritted her teeth and said, "If you are the commander, then why do I need the position of captain?"

Lin Mo: "... looks good?"

"..."

Yu Linglong argued with him for a long time with her inspiration, tears almost coming out of her eyes, but in the end, under the threat of the other party's "photo", she had to give up the power struggle.

"Damn Lin Mo, can't you just let me go?"

Yu Linglong held her breath and muttered something aggrievedly.

But after a moment, she burst into laughter again:

"This guy is still such a dog!"

About a quarter of an hour later, she received a system prompt on her panel:

[Ding! Do you accept Lin Mo's invitation to form a team in the Heavenly Dao Secret Realm? ]

[Ding! You have accepted the team invitation. ]

[Ding! Lin Mo has given up the captain position, and "Yu Linglong" will take over the captain position. ]

After receiving a few messages, she noticed the names of the team members.

In addition to the familiar Lin Mo, there are also Chu Wange and Long A.

"This guy really brought his 'girlfriend' with him, but who is this Long Ah?"

A hint of doubt flashed across Yu Linglong's brows.

Suddenly, a message came in the team chat box.

[Long A]: "How old are you, sister from the academy? Where do you live? How many people are there?"

[Lin Mo]: "Don't mess around, this is a 'senior'!"

[Lin Mo]: "Young... Senior, when will we enter the secret realm?"

Seeing that Lin Mo was still very respectful, Yu Linglong coughed and sent a message:

"Are you ready?"

[Lin Mo]: "Of course, the supplies are ready, even the urine has been cleaned in advance, so you can flush at any time!"

This guy!
Yu Linglong gritted her teeth and finally sent it over:
"In that case, let's get ready and teleport together!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the three people on the team list moved quickly and clicked "Ready" directly.

She saw several people preparing for the reminders in unison and wondered in her heart: Are they all together?
Yu Linglong didn't think about it any further and clicked the transmission button of the Tiandao activity.

As the teleportation light flashed, she was teleported into the secret realm of Heavenly Dao like the other academy disciples in the square.

Before the light disappeared, a system prompt sounded by my ear:

[Ding! Your team has entered the 2nd level Heavenly Dao Secret Realm: Devouring Demon Abyss.]

At the prompt, she slowly opened her eyes and regained her sight.

The first thing that caught his eye was not the surrounding environment, but Lin Mo's familiar face.

The other person seemed to have lost a lot of weight, with some red bloodshot eyes and a scruffy beard, looking a little unkempt.

Lin Mo raised his eyebrows first, then called out uncertainly: "Young...Senior? Are you here?"

Yu Linglong came back to her senses and coughed lightly. A baritone voice sounded in everyone's ears:

"coming."
