The name of the mountain was Half-Day.
It meant that this mountain was like a knife that cut open the continent, dividing the north and south into half the sky.
The south was cold and the north was warm, the weather was abnormal, and there were many countries competing.
There were also the sects controlling the battle and the rogue cultivators controlling it from behind the scenes.
Xia Ji pondered for a moment and combined it with some records and local chronicles to understand the cause and effect.
After humans had mastered the power of ” divine arts “, they did not control it and used it as they pleased. There were various reasons, such as performance, benefits, and the characteristics of the Second Killing Tribulation itself, which led to this situation.
There was no record of the Second Killing Tribulation in the books of the Great Qi Book Pavilion, nor was there any record of the method to advance.
Xia Ji searched again and again, but he couldn’t even find books like the Ten Thousand Laws Scroll, the Green Bag Book, and the World of Confucianism that he had compiled a thousand years ago.
Then, he flipped to a small historical story with the title-Burning Books.
He roughly understood and laughed at himself. He was not too surprised.
The human heart had always been like this.
The Xuan cultivation was once again put on the shelf, and the fire seed became a forbidden object that mortals could not touch. The other methods of advancing to the twelfth and thirteenth states were even more secretive and could not be spread. Otherwise, they would be the mortal enemies of all the sects in the world.
During the third killing tribulation, the landscape did not change much, but the continents were completely independent and could not be connected to each other.
It seemed that there were many terrifying things hidden in the ocean.
What was that terrifying thing?
He did not know.
It seemed that all of them had been deleted because they involved transcendents.
Xia Ji had flipped through many books, but he could only take out a scale claw from a page to peek at the tip of the iceberg and deduce the whole picture.
The third tribulation should be related to the ocean.
The Tribulation Demons used an unknown method to cut off the connection between the continents.
However, the Tribulation Monsters seemed to only attack extraordinary humans, who had broken free from the lifespan of mortals.
Ordinary people or ordinary warriors might encounter sea demons and sea monsters and die at the bottom of the sea.
However, due to the age, there were still some records.
To the south of Yunzhou was the Sky Gate Sea. There seemed to be another continent on the other side of the Sky Gate Sea. There seemed to be another continent further north, but the records were vague. The source could not be investigated, but most of the literature should be hearsay.
In the underground world, there might still be human trafficking ships that came from the relatively safe sea area, but they could not be found for the time being…
Xia Ji put down his book.
He tilted his head.
Outside the window, the green willows were like smoke.
The white clouds drifted.
He took a sip of tea.
Now, it was the fourth killing tribulation.
What was this?
Fortunately, no matter what it was, it would not have anything to do with him for the time being, because he was now an “ordinary person”.
Entering the game was like drawing a knife. It did not matter whether you came out early or late, but whether you could cut your throat with a knife.
Today, Xia Ji had obtained another 28 Skill Orbs, and his speed was still maintained at 10,000 Spells per year.
When he walked out of the library, Little Wu was waiting for him.
He walked past the noisy crowd and walked to Xiao Wu’s side.
Little Wu was leaning against the railing, resting his chin on his hand as he looked at the lake in the distance.
There were boats on the lake and laughter.
Little Wu turned her head. All these years, her appearance had not changed. She still looked like a young girl.
Xia Ji walked to her side and climbed up a railing to maintain the same height as Xiao Wu. Then, he said, “”Are you thinking about your family?”
“Call me Aunt Wu. ”
Xia Ji was speechless.
This was a huge grudge.
“Aunty Wu, are you thinking about your family?” he asked with a smile.
Xiao Wu’s face showed some sadness. She shook her head but froze. ” I don’t know. I don’t know anything. ‘
“Aunty Wu is actually an expert, right?” Xia Ji asked casually. It is also thanks to Aunt Wu that Consort Mother can live un til now, right?”
Lil ‘Wu was still shaking his head. ” I still don’t know. I don’t even know where those powers came from. I can suddenly use them. ‘
Xia Ji wanted to ask more, but Xiao Wu had already revealed a pained expression. She closed her eyes and bit her lip, trembling and feeling cold.
But in the next second…
She felt her hands warm up.
A small hand held her hand.
She lowered her head and saw the Seventeenth Prince’s warm smile in the twilight.
Xia Ji jumped down from the railing and walked in front. He pulled the young girl along. When she had nowhere to go and lost her way, he pulled her along and walked into the bustling street. They walked into the distance and reached a restaurant. He threw some silver and shouted, ‘”Waiter, two bowls of mutton soup noodles.”
Moments later…
Xiao Wu was still in a daze, but he suddenly realized that there was a steaming hot mutton soup in front of him.
The milky white soup, sprinkled with pepper, could resist the cold spring and warm the body.
Little Wu looked at the mutton soup, and for some reason, her eyes turned a little red.
However, her tears did not fall because she did not know where the sadness came from.
Because the Seventeenth Prince was already shouting, ” Eat it while it’s hot! ”
Xiao Wu raised his head and looked at the exceptionally handsome boy opposite him. He couldn’t help but laugh.
“Little Yu, when you grow up, who knows how many women you will charm.”
“Do I care?”
“Ah Little Yu doesn’t like girls?” “That’s not what I meant…Drink the soup, don’t talk about this.”
“Then what should we talk about?”
“The three of you are all geniuses among Transcendents. If the position of Sect Master is to be settled, you still need to bring out something that can convince others. Otherwise, what right do you have to be the sect master of my Green Peak Five Sects?”
“That’s right. The fourth killing tribulation is about to begin. We still don’t know what this tribulation is, but according to the records, it will arrive in the next few years.
If he isn’t the most far-sighted and capable person in our sect, how can he be the sect master?”
The green peaks were like five fingers, piercing into the clouds.
The gate stands high.
The mountain path led to the top of the clouds.
In the main hall on the cloud peak.
The sects above the Qi Kingdom, the Green Peak Five Sects, had already completed the trial for the candidate sect master. Three people had already stood out from the trial. These three people each had support, each had their own forces, and each had their own connections. Naturally, no one was convinced by the other.
Obviously, a new competition was needed to select the true candidate for the sect master.
In the main hall.
The hundreds of experts in the sect, including the elders, all sat in a row, but they also separated and looked at the three people in the center.
“What are you trying for?” asked a white-haired elder in a blue robe. Peak Master Bai Li is the top expert of our Green Peak Five Sects. With his aptitude, can’t he become the sect master?
Or is it that everyone doesn’t believe that Peak Master Baili can lead us through the killing tribulation?”
Another beautiful woman in red smiled and said, “”You can’t say that. The future of the sect is not a small matter. Peak Master Baili is indeed experienced and prudent, and is powerful.
However, as the saying goes, the new waves push on the previous ones. Although Peak Master Chu was a rising star, the speed at which he rose was obvious to everyone, right?
Only Peak Master Chu can become the sharp sword of our sect and expand our sect in the new era, gaining more benefits.”
After the two of them finished speaking, another person who looked like a scholar laughed. He shook his head and said, “Peak Master Bai Li is calm and steady, and can be a commander. Peak Master Chu is sharp and can be a tiger general.
However, I think that mortal countries still know that the monarch is not a commander-in-chief or a tiger general, but needs to control the overall situation…
In terms of controlling the overall situation, Peak Master Qin shouldn’t be inferior, right? What do you think?” “This one cannot agree…”
The crowd started arguing again.
No one gave in to anyone.
This matter was obviously not something that could be solved with a few words.
After the endless debate, the topic returned to ” another round of competition.
“With what?”
“Naturally, it is a problem that our Green Peak Five Sects have yet to solve.”
“Oh … Men, bring me the sect book.”
Soon…
The elite disciple outside the door took out a thick book and lowered his head to respectfully send it into the hall in the clouds.
First Elder took the book and slowly flipped through it.
This sect book recorded the sect’s matters and missions in order of time.
If the mission had not been completed, or if it had become a difficult and complicated mission, it would be specially recorded. The Great Elder was looking at those special records.
After a long time…
He stroked his beard and said, ” Let’s not talk about the ancient missions. In recent years, there are three missions that the sect has not solved. In that case, the three peak masters will each take one. Whoever can solve it first will be the sect master. ‘
The first task was about the disappearance of the State Preceptor of Qi State and Elder Ji Yun.
The second mission is about the frequent disappearance of my sect’s disciples in Fenghe Village.
The third mission was the deadlock between the Wan Jian House.
How do you choose the three peak masters?”
