The God descended to earth and led his son to chase his wife
Chapter 23: Cultivation Pavilion, Group Cultivation
——Xinghuai Continent——Royal Palace
"Sister Dongyue, when will mom and dad come back..." Jing An lay listlessly on the table, his little face full of loss and longing.
"Little Master, be good. As long as you listen carefully to the teacher's lectures every day and complete the homework assigned by the teacher on time, the prince and the princess will know that you are very sensible, and they will definitely come back to see you as soon as possible!" Dong Yue gently stroked Xiao Jing'an's hair and comforted him softly. Her eyes were looking into the distance, revealing a deep feeling of missing him...
——Middle World——
On a barren land, there stands a dilapidated house. However, what is unexpected is that underneath this seemingly abandoned building lies a mysterious underground palace.
A strange atmosphere filled the palace, and waves of eerie and terrifying sounds echoed in the cold and damp air. The sound was like the hissing sound of a poisonous snake, which made people shudder and tremble with fear.
"Is everything arranged? Has the thing been given to him?" A low and hoarse voice came from above, with a hint of coldness and majesty.
"Your Excellency, the demon pill has been handed over to him. According to your plan, he should have started refining and absorbing it." The person below answered respectfully, not daring to look up and look directly at the figure above.
"Okay, if we succeed this time, we will definitely return to the demon world!" the person above said passionately.
"Good! Good! Good!"
"Return to the demon world! Return to the demon world! Return to the demon world!"
"Be the master of the demon world! Be the master of the demon world! Be the master of the demon world!"
The sounds that came one after another filled the empty underground palace, deafeningly so, as if they were going to overturn the palace.
A group of figures wearing grey cloaks were waving their arms excitedly and shouting slogans. Their voices echoed in the palace for a long time. These people were wearing grey cloaks, making it difficult to tell their gender. However, when you look closely, you can see that their faces are abnormally pale, and their eyes have vertical pupils. There is no doubt that these are demons.
At the same time, in another place - the academy -
Three days before the competition——
The morning sun shone in the courtyard of the academy, and Huang Puquan arrived at Shangguan Wan'er's residence early. He asked expectantly, "Junior Sister Wan'er, what have you thought about? Should we go to Wangyou Tower today?"
Shangguan Wan'er looked at Huang Puquan, a hint of hesitation flashed in her eyes. After thinking for a moment, she replied: "I thought about it and decided not to go to the Forget Worry Tower for now. After all, there are only three days left before the competition, and we can't relax at all. If we get injured or fail in the Forget Worry Tower, wouldn't all our previous efforts be in vain? This would be more trouble than gain."
After saying that, Shangguan Wan'er cast her eyes on the other people who had arrived one after another. Her expression was firm and resolute, as if she had made the final decision. "Since we can't go to the Forgetful Tower at the moment, we might as well go to the Cultivation Pavilion first and do our best to improve our own strength. It won't be too late to challenge the Forgetful Tower after the competition is over. What do you think, brothers?" Shangguan Wan'er thought to herself. At this moment, the Feng Qing team had been gone for two or three days, and there was no news from Yuchi Xuan either. Without further ado, she felt that it was time to go to the Cultivation Pavilion to find out what was going on, and she must not let herself fall behind.
Huang Puquan showed a trace of disappointment on his face, but still nodded and said: "Well, what Junior Sister said is absolutely right. The most urgent task is indeed to prioritize improving our strength. Then let's set off immediately and rush to the Training Pavilion." He knew that time was running out and he had to race against time to improve himself in order to be invincible in future competitions.
Shangguan Wan'er and her team also set out for the training pavilion...
Unlike Feng Qing and others, Shangguan Wan'er and others followed the rules, found their seats, sat down and began to practice.
However, Shangguan Qing was left on the first floor. Minglang Kang also decided to stay on this floor, under the pretext of protecting her...
On this floor, Shangguan Qing happened to meet Liu Yueyao. Surprisingly, after just a few days of not seeing each other, Liu Yueyao had successfully obtained the right to use the fourth-ranked training room. It was really hard to judge whether she was lucky or talented.
Seeing this, Shangguan Qing became even more angry. She tried to challenge Liu Yueyao, but was told that today's challenge quota was full and she could only try again tomorrow. She angrily glared at the innocent Minglangkang.
Originally, Ming Langkang planned to challenge the first place and then give the first practice room to Shangguan Qing. But he didn't expect that there was a restriction here: high-level people can stay in the low-level practice layer, but they are not allowed to challenge anyone, let alone occupy resources, otherwise they will be punished. Faced with this situation, Ming Langkang had no choice but to give up and chose a relatively quiet place to silently guard Shangguan Qing for practice.
When Shangguan Wan'er and the others arrived at the second floor, they saw the lobby was crowded with people, but when she looked around, she found no familiar figures. She couldn't help but frowned and fell into deep thought: Where did Minglang Yue and the others go?
Shangguan Wan'er stared at the nine training rooms opposite, wondering in her heart: Could it be that... they have all successfully challenged and entered the training room! Thinking of this, her eyes became more determined.
At this time, Shangguan Yan on the side noticed Shangguan Wan'er's actions and asked, "Sister Imperial, are you looking for someone?" Shangguan Wan'er shook her head gently, and when she was about to sit down with the others, she suddenly heard a slight noise - the door of a training room slowly opened.
Her eyes immediately focused on the open door. However, when she looked inside with expectation, she only saw a strange face. She closed her eyes in disappointment. That person was not the one she was looking for...
At this moment, some disciples around had already finished their training and were packing up to leave. When they passed by Shangguan Wan'er and the others, they seemed to be still discussing something.
"Hey, have you heard? Three days ago, a group of people came here, and they were all at the spiritual master level! What's even more outrageous is that they dared to run to the upper level. I don't know what the situation is now."
"Oh, not only did I hear about it, I also saw it with my own eyes! I heard that there was a new student in that team, and his strength has reached the peak level of Spiritual Venerable! Maybe he was the one who led everyone up!"
"No way! If that's the case, then I have to find a way to get along well with the senior brothers in the upper ranks and strive to move up to the next level. That way, there will definitely be more opportunities!"
"Haha, I think you are daydreaming! How can it be so easy to let the senior brothers take you up? Besides, if such a good thing really exists, why has no disciple in the academy succeeded in all these years? In my opinion, maybe they have some extremely powerful spiritual weapon! And I heard that there is a weapon refiner in their team. Even if he can't refine spiritual weapons himself, he must have spiritual weapons on him."
Others waved their hands: "Let them do whatever they want. How they get there has nothing to do with us! Let's just build our own house."
"Yes, yes, no matter how envious, jealous and hateful you are, you can't get ahead." Someone echoed.
As the crowd sighed, they gradually dispersed and the voices became quieter.
Shangguan Wan'er and Shangguan Yan looked at each other, knowing that these words were actually directed at Minglang Yue and the others. They actually went up! Shangguan Wan'er nodded slightly and turned her gaze to Shangguan Yan. The two of them stood up and began to ask the people around them about the situation.
"Hey? Junior Sister Wan'er, where are you going? There will be no good seats soon." Huang Puquan called Shangguan Wan'er and thought to himself that he had come too late today and had missed the opportunity for the challenge. He must come earlier tomorrow and try to enter the training room in the challenge room to practice.
"Brother, don't worry about me. You practice first. I'll be back soon." Shangguan Wan'er said without turning her head. Her voice revealed a kind of firmness and determination. At this moment, her heart was filled with desire for answers, as if there was an invisible force pushing her forward.
This double-story lobby is very spacious and grand. You have to go through the depths of the lobby to see the stairs leading to the upper level. As you gradually approach the third floor, the surrounding spiritual energy becomes more and more dense, even comparable to the training room on the second floor. However, at the same time, the air is filled with traces of the pressure of the Spirit King, which makes people feel depressed and awed.
The second floor of the lobby was already full of people, but when Shangguan Wan'er walked to this empty area, she couldn't help but sweat on her forehead and trembled slightly. She was obviously unable to withstand such a strong pressure. At this moment, she noticed Shangguan Yan walking towards her, so she waved her hand and said: Go back quickly! "
Shangguan Wan'er's eyes revealed concern and anxiety. She was well aware of the danger of this place and did not want to put Shangguan Yan in trouble.
Shangguan Yan didn't understand what was going on and could only stand there and look at Shangguan Wan'er.
After Shangguan Wan'er took a few minutes to relax, she hurriedly retreated to Shangguan Yan's position, gasping for breath with a pale face.
"What's wrong with my royal sister?" Shangguan Yan looked at Shangguan Wan'er with his peach blossom eyes slightly flashing.
"This is the path to the third floor. The spiritual energy here is extremely rich, but it also contains huge risks because there is a strong pressure from the Spirit King here." Shangguan Wan'er said solemnly: "There are still vacancies here. Go and call them over quickly. If they have already entered a state of meditation, there is no need to disturb them."
"Yes, my sister." Shangguan Yan paused for a moment and then said, "My sister, I have just found out that the group of people three days ago was led by Feng Qing. They have all headed to the upper level and no one has returned. They must have successfully reached the top." Shangguan Yan looked towards the place leading to the third floor. However, standing there, his vision was blurred, as if there was a barrier in front of him. I heard that someone in their team had stopped here to practice, and this scene was witnessed by someone who came down from the third floor yesterday. In addition, the two doors of the practice room on the third floor were closed again. I wonder who this person in seclusion is?
Shangguan Yan couldn't help but sigh: "They are so lucky!"
Shangguan Wan'er glanced at Shangguan Yan and replied calmly: "Good luck is important, but without strong enough support, it will be difficult to succeed. Go back and call the others."
Shangguan Yan walked slowly in the direction he came from. When he arrived at the place where everyone was practicing, as expected, several old students had already entered a state of meditation, except Minglangru, who frowned and fell into deep thought.
"Ru'er, what's going on?" Shangguan Yan narrowed his iconic peach blossom eyes, revealing a charming expression, and his gaze fell on Minglangru.
"Brother Yan, I feel a little uncomfortable and can't absorb spiritual energy calmly as usual." Minglangru replied slowly and gently.
Shangguan Yan was surprised, "How could it be?"
At this time, Song Lingchen woke up from his meditation, and his voice sounded gently: "This situation is most likely caused by coercion. After all, there are spiritual masters all around here, and you, Junior Sister, have just reached the realm of a spiritual master. The spiritual energy in your body will naturally become restless, and your mood will be so impetuous that it will be difficult for you to absorb the spiritual energy from the outside world."
"Senior Brother Song, then what should I do?" Ming Langru asked anxiously.
Shangguan Yan also turned his gaze to Song Lingchen, as if waiting for his advice.
"In my opinion, it might be helpful to go to the outskirts. Most of the people gathered there are spirits and spirit servants. Although the spiritual energy is relatively weak, it is at least better than you being under pressure here and unable to absorb spiritual energy effectively." Song Lingchen put forward his suggestion.
Ming Langru looked at Shangguan Yan hesitantly, and the latter nodded slightly in approval. So, Ming Langru slowly stood up, thanked Song Lingchen, and walked towards the periphery alone. Sure enough, when she arrived at the periphery, she felt that her breathing became much smoother. Ming Langru found an open place to sit down, and then began to concentrate on practicing...
Shangguan Yan narrowed his eyes and stared in the direction of Minglangru. He waited until she started practicing before he shifted his gaze and carefully looked at Song Lingchen in front of him.
"Brother Song, my sister and I just found some open space near the third floor. There is a lot of spiritual energy there. Brother Song has woken up, so how about we go to another place?"
Song Lingchen smiled gently, "That's fine. There are too many people here, and I can't get much spiritual energy."
Shangguan Yan nodded slightly and began to lead the way to meet Shangguan Wan'er.
Shangguan Wan'er looked at the two of them in confusion and asked, "Where are the other brothers? Ru'er didn't come either?"
"The other brothers have already entered into meditation, Ru'er has gone to the outer circle, so the inner circle must also be somewhat oppressive," Shangguan Yan explained.
Shangguan Wan'er gave up and started to sit down with Song Lingchen and Shangguan Yan one by one and began to practice...
