Chapter 459 Assessment Lottery

The much-anticipated battle test for the leader of the sea hunting order has finally begun.

On this day, the square in front of the sea hunting hall of the entire sea hunting training camp was filled with monks who came to watch.

In the center of the huge square in front of the sea hunting hall, a strange forbidden formation with a radius of about a mile was located on it. This formation is a special space forbidden formation. The overall arrangement is arranged according to the directions of the eight trigrams, but there are nine independent spaces inside.

This formation is derived from the style of the ancient Luoshu. The center is the Wuwu Earth Palace, which has a huge stone platform about fifty feet high. This platform is the main control console for this battle test.

At this moment, the current heads of the four major families are all sitting cross-legged in all directions with expressionless faces. The Taoist Xuan Ya, who is responsible for controlling the entire formation, is sitting cross-legged in the center of this high platform at this moment, and his face is also indifferent. His eight disciples are divided into eight directions according to the directions, each holding a formation flag in their hands, and guarding the eight palaces with stiff faces.

This formation starts from the south and goes down along the periphery, namely Ren Water Palace, Kui Water Palace, Bing Fire Palace, Ding Fire Palace, Geng Gold Palace, Xin Gold Palace, Jia Wood Palace, Yi Wood Palace. In addition, there are six of the eight independent spaces surrounded by arenas of the same size but different heights. Only the Geng Gold Palace and Yi Wood Palace have nine and eight arenas respectively. Moreover, the size of the arenas seems to be much smaller than the arenas in the other eight spaces.

The arenas in these nine spaces are designed for different levels of commanders. Among them, six separate arenas are prepared for mid-level team commanders, and only the 17 arenas in the Geng Gold Palace and Yi Wood Palace are prepared for low-level team commanders.

In this square, within the entire formation, the inner layer is the Nine Palaces and Eight Diagrams space, which is separated by the special light curtain of this forbidden formation, so that the spectators outside can see the situation of the fight inside without any influence. At the same time, the mana fluctuations of the fight inside will also be separated by this light curtain and will not affect the outside.

And on the periphery of this Nine Palaces and Eight Diagrams space, there are densely packed seats of no less than ten thousand spectators arranged according to the direction of the big eight diagrams.

The top VIP observation seats reserved for high-level monks are located in the Renshui Palace in the south. This place is divided into dozens of separate VIP rooms, and there are special magic array light curtains between the VIP rooms, forming an independent space. The second is the Dinghuo Palace in the northeast, the Jiamu Palace in the west, and the Xinjin Palace in the northwest adjacent to the Jiamu Palace. These three palaces are all elite observation seats. Although there is no separate VIP room separated, the seats arranged are also far apart. Next are the ordinary seats in the three directions of Kuishui Palace, Binghuo Palace and Yimu Palace.

It is said that the VIP seats are reserved for Yuanying cultivators. The immortal ancestors do not need to enter this space forbidden array to watch the battle. If they want to understand the battle situation, they don’t even need to come here in person. With the super strong detection ability of the divine consciousness, they can easily know the situation in this forbidden array.

The elite seats are occupied by cultivators of different levels in the Jindan stage according to different seats. The cultivators in the foundation building stage can only watch one or two in the ordinary seats.

In addition, a large number of foundation building and Qi refining cultivators who cannot buy seats or are unwilling to spend money are all surrounded outside the entire forbidden array. The intermediate hunters of the hunting sea alliance are organized to patrol and guard the empty seats in the camp square. In the square, you can only see the general situation and results in the forbidden array.

The gambling house of the Yan family was placed in the direction of Gengjin Palace in the north. From high to low, there are nine different betting tables, each with a dedicated dealer who is responsible for receiving the monks who come to bet at any time. Today, almost all the celebrities in Liehai City gathered here, so naturally no one would dare to make trouble here.

The person responsible for presiding over the entire battle assessment and judging is the current head of the four major families, and the Yuanying ancestors of the other eight families are also present, all arranged to watch the formation in the VIP seats.

Many senior and intermediate sea hunters of the Sea Hunting Alliance were arranged to be responsible for the guard tasks inside and outside the formation.

Although the entire Sea Hunting Training Camp was crowded with people, it was operating in an orderly manner under the control of the Sea Hunting Alliance.

Most of the monks watching the battle in the forbidden formation were monks from the four major sects, and only a few were casual cultivators who wanted to observe the commander of the intermediate team and eventually chose to join the camp.

The rules of the battle assessment had been announced to everyone by the Lord of Liehai City, Ma Ming. Therefore, after all the personnel arrived, the Lord of Liehai City gave a few encouraging words, and the battle of the Lord of Liehai officially began.

Sixty-four mid-level team Lords and one hundred and twenty low-level team Lords, in order of ranking, entered the field one after another and walked towards the high platform of the Wutu Palace in the center. They had to draw the number for the battle in the Wutu Palace.

In the center of the Wutu Palace, there is a peculiar yellow mud stone platform. This yellow mud stone platform exudes a heavy ancient and vicissitudes of life. At first glance, it is an ancient object with the breath of Taoism.

When seeing this yellow mud stone platform, the whole formation inside and outside, all showed a solemn and fascinated look.

There is no other reason, because the origin of the yellow mud stone platform is too shocking. It is said that this yellow mud stone platform is the stone platform where the Dayan Sword God sat in seclusion in the Dayan Stone Bamboo Forest for fifty years to realize the Tao. It is said that the aura of the innate Dao is bred within this yellow mud stone platform. Anyone within a hundred feet of this stone platform dares not do anything that goes against the will of heaven, otherwise this stone platform will emit a bright yellow light, indicating that the people nearby have impure thoughts, do things that are not in accordance with the will of heaven, or are unfair and upright, and will become the laughing stock of the world of immortal cultivation.

Today's battle assessment concerns the fate of the young cultivators in the Xumi Sea Cultivation World for the next hundred or even thousand years. After the four major sects and the four major families unanimously agreed, they decided to take this stone platform out of the Majiabao City in Liehai City and place it in the center of the forbidden formation to suppress all those who want to cheat.

Two green bamboo tubes, one large and one small, were placed on this vicissitudes of the yellow mud stone platform. The large bamboo tube contained sixty-four lot numbers, and the small bamboo tube contained one hundred and twenty lot numbers.

The current leaders of the four major families, Ma Ming, Ni Daoxi, Yan Fu, and Wang Tianlie, all sat cross-legged on the four sides of the yellow mud stone platform with expressionless faces, staring at the two bamboo tubes on the yellow mud stone platform with cold eyes.

There was a faint green spiritual light emanating from the two bamboo tubes.

Xuanyuan Jie was the first in line. He immediately climbed onto the platform with a solemn expression. He stood still when he was several feet away from the yellow mud stone platform. He respectfully bowed to the yellow mud stone platform, then raised his hand and cast a spell, which turned into a green spiritual light and fled to the large bamboo tube.

As soon as the green spiritual light touched the emerald spiritual light outside the bamboo tube, a green bamboo stick jumped out of the bamboo tube out of thin air. It was caught by the green spiritual light controlled by Xuanyuan Jie and slowly flew towards it.

After Xuanyuan Jie took the green bamboo stick in his hand, he glanced at it and raised it to the people on the platform.

"Xuanyuan Jie, number two." Taoist Xuan Ya said to everyone in the formation in a loud voice with an expressionless face, and at the same time picked up a pen and recorded it on a piece of green bamboo slip in his hand.

After putting the lot number back on the stone platform, Xuanyuan Jie hesitated for a moment, then left the platform and walked to the rest seat below the platform to sit cross-legged.

Shi Wuming then walked up to the platform, bowed to the yellow mud stone platform, and like Xuanyuan Jie, cast a spell, turned into white spiritual light, took a lot number, and then waved it to everyone.

"Shi Wuming, lot number four." Taoist Xuan Ya continued to sing in a blank expression and recorded it on the bamboo slips.

One by one, the leaders of the intermediate teams went up, and they all bowed respectfully to the yellow mud stone platform, cast a spell, and took out their own lot number.

Strangely, even with this ancient yellow mud stone platform that inherited the Dao of the Great Evolution Sword God suppressing the whole scene, the lot numbers drawn by all the leaders of the intermediate teams still showed unexpected situations.

In this first round of random battles, none of the thirty commanders on the list of genius cultivators had a duplicate number. This means that this first round of battles will definitely not eliminate any young genius cultivator.

When this result came out, not only the current patriarchs of the four great families on the high platform of Wu Tu Palace were stunned, but also all the cultivators sitting in the observation seats in all directions were stunned.

Therefore, when Wu Yan, who ranked last, stepped onto the high platform and got the number one sign, the patriarchs of the four great families and all the cultivators stood up solemnly and bowed three times respectfully to the yellow mud stone platform.

The reason why Xumi Sea has been suppressed by the sea clan and the beast tide for thousands of years and has been unable to gain greater development space is, on the one hand, because the sea clan and the sea beasts are too fierce and powerful, forcing the Xumi Sea cultivators to cope with it, and on the other hand, isn’t it related to the endless infighting of the four major sects?

Unexpectedly, this year's Sea Hunting Assessment Battle invited this ancient yellow mud stone platform representing the Great Dao Tian Gang. Through this lottery, all the cultivators in Xumi Sea were foreshadowed that if they wanted to develop steadily, they must first let young talents with high qualifications and potential stand out, and not get too involved in internal fighting and waste their strength.

The cultivators of Taoism believe in the warning of the Heavenly Dao more than ordinary people. When this situation came out, everyone's heart was shaken for a while.

No matter what happens in the future, at least everyone has such an idea in their hearts at this moment.

After sitting back, everyone's mood was different from the beginning. One by one, with a solemn expression, they watched the low-level team leaders file onto the high platform to draw their own lot numbers.

Such a solemn atmosphere frightened the low-level team leaders who were on the stage to draw the numbers. They walked up to the stage carefully, bowed respectfully to the yellow mud stone platform, drew their own numbers, wiped the cold sweat quietly, announced the numbers, and walked down carefully.

Wu Yan sat cross-legged on the cushion in the rest seat, his eyes indifferently swept through all the leaders, and finally stopped at a mid-level team leader who drew the same number as himself.

This leader was named Gui You, a casual cultivator from the sea area of ​​​​Lianhun Island, with the cultivation level of the early stage of Jindan. At this time, Gui You, who was covered by a black cloak, also revealed a pair of green eyes, looking at Wu Yan. There was a hint of a mysterious sneer in his eyes when he looked at Wu Yan.
