Gou's Liver Experience in the World of Demons and Demons
Chapter 662: Expelled from the Holy Land
"Brother Ling Xiao, you are amazing! This really makes us proud!"
Ling Xiao raised his chin proudly, but his eyes involuntarily looked for Gu Sheng's figure.
When he saw Gu Sheng still standing there with no joy on his face, he suddenly felt uneasy.
Gu Sheng looked at Ling Xiao, who had become the focus of the whole audience, from afar with a frown on his face.
Things have completely deviated from the plan - Ling Xiao not only failed to control the time as agreed, but also completely offended the disciples of Qinghe Holy Land.
"It looks like trouble is coming."
Gu Sheng muttered to himself, his eyes sweeping across the square.
He noticed that the purple-robed youth Mo Qianjun was squinting at Ling Xiao. Several holy land disciples gathered together and whispered, casting cold glances at him from time to time.
Just as this undercurrent was surging, the voice of the elder in black robe sounded again.
"Next, Liang Yu."
The voice of the deacon elder sounded.
A thin young man walked out of the crowd and headed towards the formation.
Liang Yu’s test began. Although his speed was far slower than Ling Xiao’s, it was still considered smooth.
After an incense stick of time, Liang Yu successfully passed the assessment and his name appeared in fourth place on the ranking list.
“Fourth place!”
Liang Yu stood on the promotion platform and glanced at everyone proudly.
Gu Sheng's heart sank slightly.
Liang Yu’s talent is indeed good, as he was able to achieve such results in his first assessment.
"Next, Gu Sheng!"
Hearing his name, Gu Sheng straightened his robe and strode towards the entrance of the formation.
He could feel all kinds of gazes coming at him from behind - some expectant, some suspicious, and more of them indifferent.
In a place where geniuses gather, a monk like him who comes from an ordinary background has never been the focus of attention.
"Another one seeking death."
Some of the holy land disciples sneered.
Gu Sheng turned a deaf ear and stood at the entrance of the formation. He took one last look at Ling Xiao's name on the leaderboard and then stepped into the formation.
The scene in front of me suddenly changed, and the originally bright sky was replaced by a gray mist.
Gu Sheng immediately tensed up, he knew that the assessment had already begun.
"Whoosh!"
A black shadow attacked from the left. Gu Sheng instinctively dodged sideways and at the same time clenched his right fist and punched at the black shadow.
"boom!"
The imagined hard touch did not appear. The puppet actually exploded under his fist and turned into points of light that dissipated into the air.
Gu Sheng was stunned for a moment.
When did he become so strong?
Although these puppets are only the lowest level assessment props, they should not be so vulnerable.
There was no time to think, as more puppets came from all directions.
Gu Sheng quickly adjusted his state and shuttled among the group of puppets.
His movements seemed simple, but they contained a certain rhythm, and each move hit the puppet's weak point just right.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
A series of explosions were heard, and wherever Gu Sheng passed, the puppets exploded.
He only used a small part of his strength, and these puppets were so vulnerable.
"So weak?"
Gu Sheng thought to himself, his brows unconsciously frowned.
He originally thought that the entrance examination to the Qinghe Holy Land would be somewhat difficult. After all, it was one of the top holy places for cultivation in the Eastern Region.
However, these combat puppets in front of him exploded one after another under his casual attack, and turned into light spots in the sky and dissipated.
"It seems that we need to suppress some of our strength."
Gu Sheng was secretly calculating, his eyes scanning the already collapsed killing formation.
Rumbling--
With the collapse of the last puppet, the entire killing formation completely collapsed, and a colorful sky bridge emerged from the void, spanning in front of Gu Sheng.
The overpass was full of light and there were faint runes flowing. It was the second level - the speed test.
"Speed off."
The corners of Gu Sheng's mouth rose slightly.
He could have crossed the bridge with a single thought, but that would have been too shocking.
Gu Sheng deliberately suppressed the surging true energy in his body and stepped onto the colorful sky bridge at the speed of an ordinary cultivator.
There was indeed a repressive force on the overpass, and every step I took was like falling into a quagmire.
But for Gu Sheng, this was just scratching the surface.
He deliberately slowed down his pace and pretended to be moving forward with difficulty, but in fact he was calm inside.
"It should be almost done, right?"
Gu Sheng calculated the time in his mind and finally completed the whole journey "with difficulty".
When he stepped onto the other end of the overpass, he seemed to hear a slight exclamation.
Gu Sheng did not look back, he knew that there must be someone outside the examination room observing the performance of each candidate.
The scene of the third level then unfolds, with a volcano spewing raging flames standing in front of you.
The hot magma gushed out from the mountain pass, and the air was filled with a scorching breath.
"Physical Test"
Gu Sheng stepped into the sea of fire.
The flames that were strong enough to melt gold and iron fell on him, but only a few wisps of white smoke rose up, failing to burn even his skin.
Gu Sheng felt the temperature of the flame and felt somewhat disappointed - this test was too easy for him.
“It’s still too fast.”
Gu Sheng shook his head secretly and deliberately stayed in the sea of fire for a while longer.
When he walked out of the volcano, his frown deepened.
Even if he deliberately slowed down, his performance was still far beyond that of ordinary people.
Gu Sheng began to worry that if this continued it might attract unnecessary attention.
"I have to work hard on the willpower test."
Gu Sheng made up his mind and his eyes fell on the huge guillotine hanging above the Milky Way in front of him.
The guillotine was pitch black, with a cold glow on the blade and a terrifying murderous aura surrounding it.
If an ordinary cultivator gets close to it, he would probably be directly shocked by this evil spirit and lose his mind.
Gu Sheng walked closer slowly and immediately felt the oppressive feeling against his soul.
He evaluated it secretly - to him, this bit of evil spirit was just a breeze on his face.
But on the surface, he still pretended to be shocked and walked with heavy steps.
"That should be slow enough."
Gu Sheng calculated the time in his mind and deliberately stayed under the guillotine for a while longer before he passed this level "with difficulty".
When he walked out of the range of the guillotine, he felt even more helpless - even if he delayed like this, the total time was still too short.
"I have to stay at the level of understanding for a while."
Gu Sheng made up his mind and set his sights on the last level.
In front of me is a huge stone monument that is a thousand meters high. It is completely black and its surface is as smooth as a mirror.
This is to comprehend the profound principles of Taoism contained in the stone tablet.
"Finally, I can delay time legitimately."
Gu Sheng sat cross-legged in front of the stone tablet, pretending to be fully focused.
His spiritual sense penetrated into the stone tablet and immediately sensed a lifeless seed contained within it.
The seed exudes a cold and chilly aura, which is the entry level secret of the Yin Dao.
"So simple?"
Gu Sheng almost laughed out loud.
This level of Taoist mysteries is like child's play to him.
He originally wanted to study it casually and then withdraw his spiritual consciousness, pretending that he couldn't understand it.
Just as his spiritual consciousness touched the seed, something strange happened!
The originally lifeless seed suddenly trembled, and tiny cracks appeared on the surface.
Gu Sheng's heart skipped a beat and he hurriedly tried to withdraw his spiritual sense, but it was too late.
click-
A crisp cracking sound echoed in the sea of consciousness, and the seed completely cracked. A tender sprout emerged from it, blooming with dazzling white light!
"Oops!"
Gu Sheng was horrified.
White light shot up into the sky, instantly illuminating the entire examination space. The ground began to shake violently, and countless cracks appeared on the surface of the stone tablet.
Before Gu Sheng could react, he felt a powerful repulsive force pushing him out of the range of the stone tablet.
"boom!"
Gu Sheng staggered out of the enlightenment barrier, and the scene before him changed rapidly.
In the blink of an eye, he was back outside the examination field, surrounded by a dense crowd of onlookers.
The whole place was silent, and everyone stared at him in shock.
Gu Sheng felt a headache - this time he was in trouble.
"Om-"
In the sky, the huge ranking list suddenly shone brightly, and all the names began to float violently.
A curtain of light was projected directly into Gu Sheng's sea of consciousness, waiting for him to write down his name.
"Ugh"
Gu Sheng helplessly wrote the word "Qing Feng" on the light curtain.
As soon as the word "Qingfeng" came out, it immediately burst into a dazzling green light and rushed to the top of the list, pushing "Lingxiao", which was originally ranked first, to the second place!
"One hundred and ten breaths"
Someone read out Gu Sheng's results with trembling voice, his voice full of disbelief.
The whole place was eerily silent, and everyone was so shocked by the result that they were speechless.
"Isn't this impossible?"
"Faster than the eldest brother?"
"Monster! It's a monster!"
Whispers gradually began to rise and soon turned into an uproar.
The disciples of Qinghe Holy Land could no longer sit still, and they all whispered to each other with grim expressions.
"Big Brother is a rare genius in our Holy Land!"
"Who is this Qing Feng?"
"Could there be something wrong with the assessment formation?"
Gu Sheng felt the shocked or suspicious looks from those around him, and groaned inwardly.
He wanted to keep a low profile, but ended up making things worse and ended up becoming the focus of the whole audience.
At this moment, a familiar voice sounded in his ears, with obvious dissatisfaction in the tone.
"Gu Sheng! What are you doing? Didn't you agree to keep a low profile?"
Gu Sheng knew without looking back that it was Ling Xiao's voice.
He sent a message back with a bitter face.
"It was an accident. I didn't expect the seeds to sprout suddenly."
"Accident?"
Ling Xiao's voice rose.
"Do you know that everyone's eyes are on you now? Liang Yu's eyes are looking at you in a strange way!"
Upon hearing this, Gu Sheng subconsciously looked in the direction of Liang Yu.
Sure enough, Liang Yu was staring at him with a complicated look.
"It's over."
Gu Sheng's heart sank.
Liang Yu is the key figure in their trip. If he becomes suspicious, the entire plan may be affected.
"Friend Qingfeng!"
A loud voice suddenly sounded, interrupting Gu Sheng's thoughts.
Gu Sheng turned his head and saw an old man with white hair and beard walking towards him with a rosy face. He was the examiner of this test.
"I am the third elder of Qinghe Holy Land and I am in charge of this assessment."
The old man said with a smile.
"My friend, you have amazing talent. It really opens my eyes!"
Gu Sheng saluted quickly.
"Thank you for the compliment, senior. I am just lucky."
"luck?"
The third elder laughed.
"You passed five tests in 110 breaths. This cannot be explained by luck. I want to introduce you to my master. He likes to support the younger generation the most."
Gu Sheng was about to decline politely when a cold voice suddenly interrupted him.
"Third Elder, I think this matter is strange. Qing Feng's origins are unknown, but he was able to pass the test so easily. I'm afraid there must be something fishy going on."
The person who spoke was a young disciple wearing the uniform of Qinghe Holy Land. He stared at Gu Sheng sharply, with suspicion written all over his face.
"There must be some cheating method!"
"Elder, please take a closer look!"
Disciples from other holy places also echoed this, and the scene was temporarily a little chaotic.
These proud children who usually look high and mighty were now humiliated by a little-known person called "Qing Feng".
The monks in Gu Sheng's camp were also whispering to each other. Although they were on the same side, the suspicion in their eyes remained unchanged.
"Fellow Daoist Qingfeng, your results..."
An old man with a white beard from the same camp seemed to be hesitant to speak.
Gu Sheng smiled calmly.
"Senior also thinks it's impossible?"
The old man coughed twice awkwardly and didn't respond, but the doubt in his eyes became even stronger.
"boom!"
A burly disciple of the Holy Land slammed the table and stood up, shaking the surrounding tables and chairs.
His face was sinister, with veins bulging on his forehead.
"Qing Feng! What do you think this place is? How dare you play tricks in my Qinghe Holy Land!"
Gu Sheng raised his eyes and saw that the disciple was wearing a dark green robe with three golden clouds embroidered on his chest - this was the symbol of the inner disciples of the Qinghe Holy Land.
"What advice does this senior brother have?"
Gu Sheng's tone was flat.
"Advice?"
The burly disciple sneered.
"I want you to explain in front of everyone how you cheated!"
There was an uproar in the square.
Questions, objections and scoldings came one after another.
The corners of Gu Sheng's mouth curled up.
"Since you all believe that I cheated, then just treat me as a cheater."
He was originally worried about breaking through the formation too quickly, but now he had the chance to back off.
If a re-evaluation is possible, it can not only delay the time but also reduce the attention.
"you--!"
The burly disciple had not expected Gu Sheng to react like this. He was speechless for a moment and his face turned red.
The other holy land disciples were furious, with murderous intent in their eyes.
Gu Sheng keenly sensed that at least a dozen hostile spiritual senses were locking onto him, some of which even carried murderous intent.
"What a sharp-tongued boy!"
"Wait until the test is over and see how you die!"
"How dare a mere casual cultivator run wild in my holy land!"
Vicious curses came from all directions.
Gu Sheng originally wanted to settle the matter peacefully, but he did not expect these holy land disciples to be so violent.
"quiet!"
A clear shout sounded like thunder, instantly suppressing all the noise.
The examiner had stood in the center of the platform without anyone noticing, his white beard fluttering in the wind, looking majestic without even getting angry.
"The test formation was set up by the master himself. How can you question it?"
The examiner's eyes were as fast as lightning as he swept over the restless disciples of the holy land.
"Anyone who disturbs order again will be expelled from the holy land!"
A powerful pressure swept across the entire place, and those clamoring disciples were suddenly silenced. Although they were unwilling to do so, they could only bow their heads and retreat.
Gu Sheng cast a grateful glance at the examiner, but found that the examiner was looking at him meaningfully, with inquiry in his eyes. (End of this chapter)
