In a moment, more than 5,000 candidates were eaten up by the resentful spirits, leaving behind skeletons all over the ground. The scene was like purgatory.
The cultivators lost their source of spiritual energy and were unable to gather their vitality and origin souls. How could they resist? After they died, they also turned into resentful spirits. Immediately, the ghost energy that covered the sky disappeared into the blood river.
The black-robed Emperor Yuan floated calmly in the void, disdainfully looking at the thousands of corpses below.
Even though these corpses had outstanding talent when they were alive, and they were the elite descendants of the major families of the continent, many of them were members of the royal family. In his eyes, they were no different from ants.
Over the past thousands of years, he had long been used to it.
However, today, he kindly gave Qin Hao a way out and let him leave this Imperial Bay. But he didn't expect that Qin Hao insisted on entering the Divine Palace. This was courting death!
Actually, it wasn't his original intention to leave Qin Hao a way out.
That junior had obtained the inheritance of Lord Wu, which meant that, like Lord Wu, he also had the potential to become a god. This was the nutrient that the black-robed Emperor Yuan urgently needed.
Qin Hao's death could bring him great benefits.
"A cold-blooded person like me should have nothing to do with this mortal world, but I actually became compassionate because of a ridiculous family relationship."
The black-robed Emperor Yuan laughed at himself a few times and looked up at the sky.
There were no gods in the Divine Wilderness, and he vowed to become a god.
In order to become a god, he killed countless people. The people he killed were the strongest and most talented people in the world, generation after generation.
He knew Qin Hao, and they were quite familiar with each other. Qin Hao obtained the inheritance of Lord Wu and attracted the divine brilliance. Maybe as long as he refined him and buried the peerless geniuses of Shou Wuque with him, he would be able to achieve his wish of stepping into the god realm.
He had been waiting for this day for thousands of years, starting from the day he personally destroyed the Divine Palace.
The world spun as they were enveloped by the formation energy of the Great Dao. Even though it had only been a few breaths of time, Qin Hao and the others felt as if countless years had passed.
Just when the people in the array couldn't hold on anymore, the dazzling platinum light dissipated. As their feet landed on the ground, everyone opened their eyes again. The scene in front of them was brand new.
This was a vast and boundless world.
Seven majestic mountain peaks were suspended in the air with white clouds lingering around the waist of each mountain peak. There were red-crowned cranes flying freely in the clouds, and waterfalls from the Nine Heavens were sloping down from the sky, making rumbling sounds. Seven majestic palaces were placed on top of the mountain peaks, giving people a sense of solemnity and grandeur. This whole scene was like a fairyland in a painting, so beautiful that it was impossible to take in.
"Where are we?"
Tsiogua had never seen such beautiful scenery before. Was this the Immortal World?
"Idiot, of course it's the Divine Palace."
Ye Shuihan lightly slapped Tsiogua's head and jokingly scolded him.
However, the scenery was indeed beautiful. Even though he was born in the most prosperous Luoshui Empire in Western Liang, Ye Shuihan was still intoxicated by the fairy-like scenery in front of him.
"This is the Divine Palace, the highest academy in the Divine Wilderness, the cradle that nurtured Emperor Yuan."
"We have finally become disciples of the Divine Palace."
"Senior Brothers and Junior Brothers, we are about to become the protagonists of a new era. In the future, we can all become Emperors."
For a time, the martial artists who came to the Divine Palace couldn't help but cheer wildly. Many people cried tears of joy, unable to extricate themselves from their emotions.
"So this is the Divine Palace."
Qin Hao sighed. The spiritual energy between heaven and earth was really rich, many times stronger than the outside world. With such superior innate conditions, the cultivation speed of martial artists would definitely be able to advance by leaps and bounds. It would be difficult for them not to become Emperors.
"By the way, why didn't I see Xing 'er?"
Qin Hao asked Ye Shuihan. This question had troubled him for a long time. Since the team gathered at Imperial Fallen Bay, everyone was there, except for Xing 'er.
"Boss, Sister Xing 'er, she …" Xiao Jiu stammered and finally gritted her teeth. "She went to the East Continent, so she didn't participate in the omen with us."
"To the East Continent?
Why did she go to the East Continent? "
Qin Hao asked seriously. He had a bad feeling in his heart.
"I don't know. On the first day of everyone's departure, Aunt Yue talked to her alone. I don't know what they said, but she gave up participating in the omen and went to the East Continent alone," Xiao Jiu said.
Aunt Yue was Ye Shuihan's mother, the former master of Dan Ge, and the dean of Red Sun Academy, Xin Keyue.
Qin Hao's face instantly became serious. Others didn't know, but he could guess a thing or two. Xin Keyue sent Xing 'er to the East Continent to inquire about information.
It seemed that Western Liang would make a big move next.
Of course, if they were to send troops to the East Continent, it was not impossible to send someone to investigate Sunset Peak and Daqin in advance.
The key was that it was too dangerous for Xing 'er to be alone, not to mention that the girl was good-looking.
"Don't worry. Master must have her reasons for sending Miss Xing 'er there. I don't think there will be any accidents."
Yun Ying Chang saw the change in Qin Hao's expression. Although she didn't know who Xing 'er was, she must be extraordinary to be chosen by Xin Keyue.
"We'll talk about this after we leave the Divine Palace."
Qin Hao said in a low voice, feeling a little dissatisfied.
At present, he had just passed the assessment and came to the Divine Palace, so he couldn't interfere with the people outside.
In fact, he didn't attach too much importance to the matter of taking back Sunset Peak and crusading against Han Linghan and Zhan Wu. On the other hand, Xin Keyue was more obsessed with it than Qin Hao.
But since Yun Ying Chang said so, Xing 'er's safety should be guaranteed. After all, Yun Ying Chang disappeared to meet the descendants of Zhan Lang in the Southern Region. Now that Xing' er went to the East Continent, could it be that Xin Keyue had found out about the descendants of the other four war generals?
Would it be Yu Feng or Qingcheng?
Qin Hao couldn't figure it out now. For now, he could only step into the Emperor Realm in the Divine Palace first, and then make plans.
He hoped that when he went out, Western Liang would not be in chaos.
Dong, dong, dong … A few solemn sounds of bells came from a mountain peak in the clouds. At this moment, the noisy crowd immediately quieted down. Everyone knew that the peak masters were selecting disciples.
"Congratulations to the juniors for coming to the Divine Palace. The Divine Palace has the method to enter the Emperor Realm and the Way of the Great Emperor. However, the peak masters of the Seven Peaks cultivate differently. You juniors can choose which peak master to study under according to your strengths. Once you enter the peak, you will remember it for life."
A vicissitude and extremely majestic voice came from the clouds, making the sacred paradise even more solemn.
The voice continued, "Tai Wei Peak, the master of the Way of Life, the master of the Peak is Tai Wei Immortal."
"Yun Yi Peak, the master of the Way of Array, the master of the Peak is Yun Yi Immortal."
"Yao Guang Peak, the master of the Sound of Ten Thousand Laws, the master of the Peak is Yao Guang Immortal."
"Daozang Peak, the master of the Way of the World, the master of the Peak is Daozang Immortal."
"Xuantian Peak, the master of the Inscription Technique, the master of the Xuan Tian Immortal."
"Mizang Peak, the master of the Way of Killing, the master of the Peak is Mizang Immortal."
Every time the voice mentioned a peak, Qin Hao would see a word flashing on the peak.
In the void of Tai Wei Peak, there was the word "Life".
Yunyi Peak, the word "Formation".
Yaoguang Peak, the word "Sound".
Daozang Peak, the word "Dao".
Xuantian Peak, the word "Tool".
Mizang Peak, the word "Kill".
Each peak represented a different direction of cultivation.
Except for the peak in the middle, which was the main peak of the Divine Palace and also the place where the Palace Master cultivated, there were no big words floating on that peak.
"All disciples of the third rank and below can choose a peak of their own. The master of the Peak will teach from time to time. During the teaching period, you can listen to whatever is said. Do not make a noise, do not ask questions, and digest the teachings of the Peak Master on your own."
"Second-rank disciples can also choose a peak. When the master of the Peak is teaching, you are qualified to ask the master of the Dao and ask for guidance."
"First-rank disciples, pending."
The voice said.
At this time, everyone realized that a token was tied to their waists.
This token was the Divine Palace token that they had obtained through the challenge of the Battle Platform.
Now, a number appeared on everyone's Divine Palace token.
Some were engraved with three, some with two. Qin Hao, Xiao Han, and the other people who had achieved perfect results in the five challenge rings were engraved with one. This meant that the best group of people were first-rank disciples of the Divine Palace.
