Chapter 2935: Entering the Exquisite Pagoda

Chapter 2935 -2936: Entering the Exquisite Pagoda

Hearing this, Ye Luo felt a bit helpless!

Out of nowhere he’d gotten himself a whole pile of trouble, but if it was just challenges from the younger generation, what was there for him to be afraid of?

“Little junior brother, I know you’re gifted and your Strength is decent, but among the other Sects there are bound to be some strange Cultivators you can’t guard against, so you absolutely must stay on your guard!” Qiu Xia said in a low voice, her expression more solemn than ever.

Ye Luo, however, was bold because of his skill, and didn’t take it to heart at all—of course, he still nodded with a grave look.

“At this conferment ceremony, your teacher can’t do anything for you. Everything will depend on you alone. If you truly face mortal danger, then you are to concede at once, so your teacher can save your life!” The Sect Leader stepped forward and said.

Only then did Ye Luo realize something seemed off. The Sect Leader knew his Strength; even if he hadn’t shown his full power before, among his peers, there should be few who could be his match!

Could it be those old undying bastards were going to challenge him too?

However, before Qiu Xia and the Sect Leader could explain things to him in detail, people from the other Sects began to arrive one after another.

Qiu Xia and the Sect Leader immediately went up to greet them.

There was no helping it; everything had been too rushed, so Ye Luo and the Sect Leader hadn’t had any proper chance to talk.

Earlier Ye Luo had thought this was nothing more than a simple ceremony, just going through the motions, but now it seemed that was absolutely not the case.

And the number of Cultivators arriving this time was truly large. These Cultivators wore the robes of their respective Sects—there were at least dozens of Sects present, and more Sects were still arriving!

This left Ye Luo somewhat surprised. He was just a True Disciple, was there really a need to make it this grand? This lineup might be more ceremonious than an Elder taking office!

Moreover, the Ice Gate Sect’s Disciples all began bustling about; it seemed this had already turned into a grand event for Ice Gate Sect!

What was going on? Ye Luo immediately felt something was wrong.

Only after the time for one incense stick to burn did all the guests take their seats. Ye Luo looked around and saw that there were actually several thousand people present! This spectacle was almost on par with the previous selection.

Though to Ye Luo, this was nothing but a small scene.

“Everyone! Today is the day I take a Disciple. For you all to come and show support is truly this old man’s good fortune!” The Sect Leader walked up onto the high platform, smiling as he spoke.

His smile was kindly, only when facing Ye Luo it was different! Within that kindness, there was a trace of majesty!

Clearly, this Sect Leader was anything but simple.

“Haha, the Sect Leader taking a Disciple is something we’ve all been paying close attention to. We thought we’d have to wait a while yet, but we didn’t expect the Sect Leader to find a candidate so quickly!”

“The Sect Leader taking a Disciple is no small matter. Naturally we must help the Sect Leader keep watch! After all, this concerns the survival of over a hundred Sects large and small! It’s truly no trivial affair!”

Several Elders below immediately raised their voices and shouted.

Only, their words left Ye Luo utterly confused. It seemed his identity as True Disciple was actually tied to the other Sects?

Thinking of this, he got a headache. It felt like the Sect Leader had tricked him! So this kindly old man was actually an old fox!

He’d come to Ice Gate Sect just to scout for information on An Alliance, yet now he’d been dragged into some inexplicable event.

But with things as they were, he couldn’t back out. Ice Gate Sect he might be able to escape from, but among these thousands of Cultivators in front of him, not a single one looked easy to deal with!

“Everyone is right, so let’s just proceed according to the rules!” The Sect Leader seemed unwilling to say more. With a sigh, he stepped down from the high platform.

At once the area below grew quiet. This scene left Ye Luo utterly baffled.

Very soon, an Elder of Ice Gate Sect walked up onto the high platform, cleared his throat, and said, “According to the rules set previously by the Alliance, the first trial will naturally be to break through the Seven Apertures Exquisite Formation! This Formation has forty-nine levels in total! Passing twenty stages counts as qualified! Does anyone have any objections?”

At these words, the Cultivators below all nodded.

Seven Apertures Exquisite Formation? Ye Luo furrowed his brows. How had the Sect Leader never mentioned this to him?

Could it be the reason everything was arranged in such a rush was that he feared Ye Luo would back out if he learned the truth? More and more, Ye Luo felt this was the Sect Leader’s trap! After all, where in the world did free pies fall from the sky?

Ye Luo also noticed that Qiu Xia’s expression was obviously a bit ugly; clearly she had also broken through this Seven Apertures Exquisite Formation back then.

“True Disciple Ye Luo, where are you? Hurry and get up here on the platform!” the Elder called out sternly.

Ye Luo could only grit his teeth and go up. He wasn’t afraid of this so?called Exquisite Formation, he just felt it was troublesome.

“Ye Luo, this Seven Apertures Exquisite Formation is no ordinary thing. Inside, it forms its own space, with many dangers. Once you enter, if you find you can’t hold on, crush this crystal at once. Remember, you must not force it! According to the rules, passing twenty stages counts as qualified! If you fail within the first ten stages, your identity as True Disciple will be stripped from you!”

Ye Luo’s eyes widened. There was actually such a clause!

Then, before him, a small Transmission Array appeared. Clearly this should be the entrance to that Exquisite Formation.

With things at this point, Ye Luo stopped hesitating. He took a step forward and entered the Transmission Array. He wanted to see just what tricks this Seven Apertures Exquisite Formation had.

He’d encountered this kind of trial space before; it wasn’t anything novel, so Ye Luo didn’t feel nervous at all.

Only, when he saw the scene inside the Exquisite Formation, his expression changed.

There were Demon Beasts in here, of course—and these Demon Beasts were actually mutated! Or rather, modified.

Could it be this Exquisite Formation was also related to Zhongzhou civilization?

If the Formation was full of Demon Wolf?type creatures, then Ye Luo might truly be in danger!

Still, this was the first level, after all, and the Demon Beasts here were quite weak.

Ye Luo casually threw a few punches and blasted apart dozens of Demon Beasts! A flash of white light, and a Transmission Array appeared before him.

He nodded slightly. This should be the entrance to the second level. It seemed that in each level, he had to slaughter enough Demon Beasts to clear the stage!

Only, he suddenly raised his head. Could those outside see what he was doing in here? If that were the case, he couldn’t use his hidden trump cards!

With a thought, his Divine Sense spread outward. At the same time, his Clairvoyant Eye opened!

Very soon, he relaxed.

His Divine Sense was completely blocked, and even using his Clairvoyant Eye he couldn’t make out the situation outside. Clearly, this space was extremely strange, which meant the Cultivators outside also couldn’t truly see what he was doing in here!

“In that case, that’s a lot more reassuring!” With a light chuckle, he stepped into the second level.
