Start from a baby to become a Taoist

Chapter 326, Section 323. Nine-headed bird!

When this voice appeared, the already dark surroundings became even quieter, and Xu Ran's already slow breathing sounded like thunder at this moment.

"Buzz!"

"Buzz!"

"Buzz!"

"Buzz!"

Simultaneously.

Before Xu Ran could react, he heard a vibrating sound in his ears, and then a dazzling light suddenly came in front of his eyes. The next moment, his vision was restored.

A ray of light shone on Xu Ran's eyelids. The dazzling light made him slowly open his eyes, and only then could he see clearly what was in front of him.

At this time, Xu Ran was once again in a valley, but this valley was completely different from the valley outside just now.

The valley was lush and green, with giant trees and vines everywhere. The fragrance of leaves mixed with the scent of soil filled the air. Xu Ran, who had experienced many battles, stood in the valley and took a deep breath, as if all his fatigue had disappeared at this moment.

In addition to the lush greenery that can be seen before your eyes, there are also the sounds of wind, rustling leaves, and streams. From time to time, the clear chirping of birds can be heard in the valley, echoing in the valley.

"This is."

Xu Ran stood in the valley, muttering to himself, completely unaware of what was going on.

I was just in an arena, but the moment the voice appeared, everything went dark before my eyes. When I regained my vision, I came to a valley that was completely different from the previous one.

"It seems this is the test site that the voice mentioned!"

When the vision disappeared, I heard a voice in my ears, which was about the test of the nine-story tower. Now I came to this valley, probably because of that test.

Since it is a test, they naturally have to pay full attention to it. Moreover, Xu Ran has a hunch that this is the key to their successful escape from the valley.

Simultaneously.

In the previous arena, all the souls of different colors were looking at the center of the arena. There was a mirror, and in that mirror was the valley where Xu Ran was.

Souls of different colors looked at Xu Ran, their eyes full of the doting one would give to a junior.

"This child has a good heart. He came to an unfamiliar environment without any panic!"

"To be chosen by the Nine-Story Tower, how bad can one's character be?"

"Hehe, this newbie has bad luck. He actually encountered the most difficult monster in the first round!"

"That's not right. Isn't this level always tested later? Why is it so early this time?"

"Most of the people present here won't encounter this level, but this newcomer encountered it on the first try!"

The souls of different colors were extremely surprised when they saw Xu Ran appear in the valley, as if something impossible was happening!
At the front of this group of souls, there are three empty spaces, and in these three empty spaces, there are three souls with empty breath.

These three soul bodies are different from other soul bodies. They are gray in color, as if they are wearing a black robe. They do not emit any aura. It looks like three robes are sitting there.

Although these three soul bodies do not have as many colors as other soul bodies, the aura of nothingness emanating from them makes other soul bodies behind them dare not get close at all.

"Brother, what do you think of this newcomer?"

At this time, a shy female voice sounded from the left. Her voice seemed to be naturally charming, which made people feel itchy in their hearts.

She looked at the soul body in the middle, and the aura of nothingness kept beating.

As soon as her voice came out, the surroundings instantly became quiet. All the souls did not dare to make a sound at all. They could only listen quietly to the three souls in the front speaking.

Before the soul in the middle could speak, the soul on the right spoke first.

"Third sister, no matter what this new guy is like, at least he's better than you!"

The soul that spoke had a deep voice and sounded like a middle-aged man.

His voice was filled with a sinister aura that made people feel like no one was allowed to enter.

"What are you talking about? If you weren't older than me and came in earlier than me, would it be your turn to be the second in command?"

In an instant, the female voice became violent, and the sound stirred up layers of air waves in the arena, making it difficult for the soul body behind her to bear it.

Her attitude is completely different from her previous tone!
The strong male voice continued without any concessions.

"I remember that when you first entered the trial, you only encountered the cuckoo at the third level. This newcomer encountered it for the first time. Isn't it obvious that he's stronger than you?"

These words left the female soul unable to come up with any reason. It was indeed the fact, so she could only sit there angrily, constantly thinking about how to refute.

After a while, she finally found a way to refute it.

"It's true that he met the cuckoo before me, but who says he will definitely pass?"

"When I met the cuckoo in the third level, it took me quite a bit of energy to get through it!"

As she spoke, she turned to look at the silent soul in the middle, and her voice returned to its charming tone.

"Brother, you are right!"

"Hey!" The strong male voice sounded again, "You know, even in the boss's trial, the second level is the cuckoo. It's obvious that this newcomer in front of us will be the one with the highest potential among us!"

"Maybe, after he passes the test, you'll become the fourth apprentice sister!"

"Hahaha!"

A strong male voice rang out in the arena, causing these souls to tremble all over.

The soul known as the Fourth Junior Sister was about to continue to refute when the soul in the middle finally spoke.

"Okay, the trial has begun, be quiet!"

The voice was extremely cold, as if it came from an extremely cold ice cave. Although it seemed to be an extremely ordinary voice, it could make people feel extremely cold.

As soon as this voice appeared, the time in the entire arena seemed to be frozen. There was no movement at all, and all the souls looked into the mirror.

Compared to the beginning, the scene in the mirror has changed dramatically.

at this time.

Xu Ran stood in the lush green valley, his whole body focused, his eyes fixed on the giant tree forest in front of him, from which the sound of birdsong could be heard from time to time.

"The innate energy cannot be mobilized!"

Xu Ran muttered to himself.

He discovered that since he entered the valley, he could no longer feel the innate energy in his body, only the spiritual energy existed. What made him even more uncomfortable was that there was no spiritual energy in this valley. In other words, as long as the spiritual energy in his body was consumed, Xu Ran would become an ordinary person who could only rely on his physical body to resist.

This is an absolute disaster for practitioners. After all, any magical power, any method, or technique requires spiritual energy to activate.

Moreover, the test of this nine-story tower is definitely not ordinary difficult. In this case, without any replenishment of spiritual energy, the trump card method of innate energy cannot be mobilized. This is a great weakening for Xu Ran.

"Ha!" Faced with such a situation, Xu Ran grinned. He was not affected at all, but rather a little excited.

“That’s a bit challenging!”

Ever since Xu Ran mastered the [Innate Saint Body], he has not had any chance to display his full strength. Now, this is his chance to show his full potential and also let himself know how far he can go.

When the soul bodies in the arena saw Xu Ran’s grinning mouth, they instantly exploded.

"This newcomer laughed, how could he possibly laugh!"

"He should have sensed by now that his spiritual energy was no longer replenished, so how could he still be laughing?"

"Once the postgraduate entrance exam begins, there will be no way to replenish spiritual energy. Why is he still so confident?!"

The soul bodies on the scene were puzzled by Xu Ran's smile. Facing a situation where spiritual energy cannot be replenished is an extremely dangerous situation for any practitioner.

Unless you are a practitioner who specializes in cultivating the physical body, even so, there will be times when you are exhausted.

No matter what, the nine-level huge trial is absolutely difficult, and no normal person can smile.

Unless it's the three people in the front.

"Brother, this newcomer can actually laugh? Could he be scared silly?" The shy female voice sounded again, and her body subconsciously moved closer to the soul body in the middle.

"People who are confident enough in their own abilities can naturally laugh. You won't have such a feeling!" The strong voice quarreled with the female voice again.

"He was just scared silly!" Then he turned to look at the soul in the middle, "Brother, you are right, right?"

The soul in the middle did not speak, and its illusory face stared quietly at the mirror in the middle of the arena.

A slight fluctuation appeared on the face that no one could see, and a cold voice came out of the mouth that only he could hear.

"The Holy Body of the Innate Saint!"

His gaze returned to the valley again.

"Cuckoo!"

"Cuckoo!"

"Cuckoo!"

"Cuckoo!"

After Xu Ran felt that his spiritual energy could no longer be replenished, the clear calls of cuckoos suddenly rang out in the silent forest of giant trees in front of him. The sound seemed to be carried by the wind, colliding and echoing back and forth between the cliffs of the valley, with a sense of ethereality in the crispness.

Then, in the forest of giant trees, the cuckoo calls rang out one after another, with the tones rising and falling, as if they were holding a strange chorus.

To Xu Ran, these strange cuckoo calls sounded like whispers from hell, making him shudder.

The moment Xu Ran heard the cuckoo calls, his hair stood on end and he stared intently at the giant tree forest in front of him.

This was the first time he encountered such a thing in this so-called test. Even if he had high confidence in himself, he still had to be cautious.

"Hmm?" As the cuckoo's voice became louder, the strange feeling in my heart became stronger.

next moment.

Before Xu Ran's eyes, without warning, the surrounding light was quickly swallowed by darkness, and the entire world fell into a deadly blackness. The thick darkness, like a heavy quilt, tightly wrapped everything, making it impossible to breathe.

At this moment, in the darkness, pairs of cuckoo eyes emitting faint green light slowly emerged. The light was as deep as an ancient pool, exuding a chilling aura.

Each pair of eyes that appeared in the darkness seemed to have an independent consciousness. They were arranged neatly, with sharp eyes, staring intently at the front, as if there was some unspeakable secret ahead, and as if they were waiting for a certain moment to come.

These pairs of eyes made the already gloomy darkness even more oppressive. Every glance was like a sharp blade, cutting into people's hearts, making their backs cold and afraid to act rashly.

At the moment these eyes appeared in the darkness, Xu Ran's eyes also burst into a dazzling purple light. This purple light was like the light of purple air coming from the east in the early morning, dispelling all the darkness before his eyes.

In Xu Ran's eyes, the scene that was dark just now is now bright.

In his eyes, he saw little cuckoos, all emitting black mist, with their wings covered with all kinds of strange patterns. They looked like a kaleidoscope, and it seemed that one would fall into an illusion just by looking at them.

The black mist emanating from the cuckoo slowly drifted around Xu Ran's body, tightly surrounding him.

Apart from his body, the rest of the valley was still lush and green.

"It's quite interesting. It can actually cover my field of vision alone. What era is this cuckoo from? Its methods are so strange?" Xu Ran murmured.

The [Secret Book of Body Refining] that Mr. Qi accidentally obtained records most of the monsters, including various strange monsters.

However, among the tens of thousands of monsters, there is no such strange cuckoo.

After thinking for a moment, Xu Ran saw that hundreds of cuckoos began to flap their wings continuously, and the patterns on their wings began to echo continuously, combining together to form rings of ripples.

These ripples were silent, but wherever they passed, the leaves were cut in half.

These invisible ripples came directly in front of Xu Ran.

"Buzz!"

"Buzz!"

"Buzz!"

"Buzz!"

The ripples hit Xu Ran directly, and immediately, his clothes began to tear into pieces, with dozens of cracks appearing.

However, when the ripples hit the body, they disappeared without a trace.

Moreover, at this moment, a layer of light purple mist appeared on the surface of Xu Ran's body. The purple mist directly blocked the invisible ripples floating over.

No harm was caused to Xu Ran's body.

The soul bodies in the arena looked in front of the mirror and saw circles of ripples hitting Xu Ran's body, but leaving no scars. They all widened their eyes in disbelief and began to talk among themselves.

"He can actually block the attack with his body!!"

"When did the attack methods of this test become so weak?"

"Could it be that it's been too long since new people have come, so the difficulty has been lowered?"
