Chapter 85

The vast and majestic aura of the great sun permeated the entire sea of clouds, like the sun at noon, pressing down so heavily that many cultivators below involuntarily bowed in respect!

"Pay respects to the three venerable ancestors!"

"Please rise, everyone!"

The voice was calm, yet it seemed like a wondrous sound between heaven and earth, seeping into the hearts of all, bringing a sense of peace to the depths of their souls. It was as if the inner turmoil had been purified by this mysterious heavenly sound, making their souls feel relaxed, as if they were in a warm ocean.

Purifying the soul with pure yang?

Among the many powerful figures, there were those with keen eyes. Seeing the pale golden aura from the sky, they were overjoyed and eagerly absorbed the pale golden essence.

Rumble!

As the pale golden gas was absorbed by these powerful figures, several of them instantly broke through, their uncontrollable aura of breakthrough bursting out with terrifying power!

"Fourth Rank!"

"Third Rank!"

...

Various auras soared into the sky, causing many powerful figures in the crowd to envy and regret, lamenting the missed opportunity!

"Thank you, venerable ancestors!"

The few who broke through were overjoyed, taking a few steps forward to thank the three venerable ancestors, who were emitting boundless and majestic power from the sky!

"You do not need to thank us; this is your opportunity!"

"The rest of you do not need to envy. Greater opportunities are still to come. The third-place reward for this trial is three months of cultivation in the Pure Yang Spirit Pool. The second-place reward is a Green Peach Spirit Fruit. The first-place reward is a Green Peach Spirit Fruit and the freedom to choose a Silver Rank scripture from the family's scripture library!"

Boom!

As the divine voice fell, the crowd below instantly boiled over!

"Pure Yang Spirit Pool? It is said to be refined from the boundless pure yang essence of the nine heavens. Cultivating there can not only transform our bodies, but even breaking through a major realm is possible!"

"Haha, great! This Silver Sky Grand Ceremony reward is truly prepared for this young master. As long as I obtain the 'Moonlight Heavenly Wheel Sutra' from the scripture library, my Moonlight Heavenly Wheel technique will surely reach perfection!"

"Just you? Daydreaming! Who else but me deserves the first-place reward!"

"Get lost, you insignificant ants dare to dream of the moon in the sky!"

...

Jun Wuming was also greatly moved, his eyes flashing with unusual light. His mastery of ice true intent was already at a divine level, but unfortunately, without a corresponding technique, he could not fully unleash his power. If he could win the championship and obtain a high-level ice technique from the scripture library, his strength would surely reach new heights!

Ignoring the noisy crowd below, in the center of the sky, a blazing yellow sun slowly spoke, each word heavy as a thousand pounds, striking the hearts of all!

"The champion of this grand ceremony will be determined by the number of demon blood crystals obtained."

"Like in previous years, one superior demon blood crystal can be exchanged for ten medium-grade crystals, and one medium-grade crystal can be exchanged for ten inferior-grade crystals. If you obtain other precious treasures within ten years, they can be exchanged for demon blood crystals at the logistics elder in the center of the arena."

"Our Lianyun Fort has stood for a thousand years, protecting a million lives, dominating this region!"

"Countless people respect us, countless people fear us, but there are also countless enemies! They are either cunning, cruel, or vicious. But in the face of our Lianyun Fort's overwhelming strength, they all cower!"

"They are all enduring, waiting, waiting for the day when our Lianyun Fort declines, to strike us a fatal blow!"

"To seize our territory, our wealth, your positions, and to make you and your descendants slaves like beasts!"

"But what we need to do is not to defend, but to advance, to advance further!"

"Use your efforts and wisdom to crush them, to obliterate them!"

A mighty aura burst forth, and with a roar, the blood in everyone's hearts instantly boiled!

"Obliterate! Obliterate! Obliterate!"

At this moment, the crowd below instantly became frenzied, shouting loudly, their powerful auras being unleashed together!

The surging auras were like smoke signals in the sky, vast and boundless! The excited auras were like countless dragons and snakes ascending, shaking the cloud sea!

Jun Wuming also felt a surge of inexplicable bloodlust, making his heart boil. However, Jun Wuming ultimately had strong self-control. Although his heart could not calm down for a long time, his expression remained unchanged, watching the crowd cheer and celebrate.

Looking up, Jun Wuyou, Jun Wuheng, Jun Wushang, and other young masters could not resist the influence of the clouds, showing varying degrees of excitement.

Suddenly, Jun Wuming's eyes narrowed, gazing at a figure in green in the center, a hint of seriousness flashing in his eyes.

"Jun Qing?"

"Jun Wuming?"

In an instant, the green-clad figure seemed to sense it, following the gaze and looking directly at Jun Wuming.

The gaze felt like a venomous snake, the dark aura seeming to follow the gaze, making Jun Wuming frown.

Sizzle!

The two gazes met, as if crossing infinite space and colliding fiercely. It was like a clash of thunder, with lightning flashing!

"Hmph!"

Jun Wuming coldly snorted, turning his head away, ignoring Jun Qing's venomous gaze. Jun Qing was a madman, and Jun Wuming was not bothered to deal with him!

"Good!"

The central sun slowly descended, its aura becoming even more powerful. The voice fell, majestic and solemn, with a touch of emotion:

"This journey is a matter of life and death, which you all understand. The warriors of our Lianyun Fort are never afraid of life and death, never afraid of challenges. I also hope that you do not disappoint me and do not tarnish the glory of Lianyun Fort!"

"This trial will last one month. We will judge your performance. Go!"

With a sigh, the voice instantly turned into a streak of light, piercing through the clouds and disappearing.

As the voice fell, the trial disciples all fell silent, then shouted loudly: "We will not disappoint the venerable ancestors!"

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

Without further ado, countless beams of light instantly rose from the platform, like a thousand-colored fireworks ascending, countless streaks of light flying in all directions!

Jun Wuming was also among the various lights, turning into a black streak of light, flying north!

This trial was in the outer area of the Misty Forest! The danger level was high, and although Jun Wuming was confident in his cultivation, he did not want to fall behind!

Perhaps seeing that all the trial participants had flown away, a black and white sun in the sky instantly descended, emitting a black and white light. This light grew rapidly, one becoming two, two becoming three, and three becoming myriad things.

The black and white light was rich and substantial, flowing with a crystalline black and white color, forming countless huge black and white mirrors, spanning the entire cloud sea, creating an incredibly mysterious great array!

Seeing this, the elders on the side chairs all shouted, each casting a spell into the black and white mirror light on the cloud sea.

"Open!"

The black and white light shot straight up, and a light command came from the black and white sun in the center of the array.

The black and white light instantly rotated, like mysterious Taiji fish swimming in the cloud sea!

The sky was filled with flying mirrors, and countless images appeared in the mirror light. The figures were clearly those of the participants flying through the air!

On the cloud platform, everyone fell silent, each focusing on the young men in the mirror!

...

Jun Wuming flew forward, black light enveloping his body, his long hair dancing like a carefree immortal, a smile in his eyes as he looked at Jun Quanming, who was flying on a green sword not far away.

Suddenly, a streak of light flew past behind him, a huge red glow dyeing the cloud sea red, catching everyone's attention!

Red mist spread, and countless streaks of light flew. The participants were not to be outdone, their powers surging, and seven-colored beams of light like rainbows flew into the forest mist in the blink of an eye.

"Lin Yan!"

Seeing the red light pass by, Jun Wuming's lips curled, and he laughed aloud, his blood surging. With a loud, piercing howl, a black beam of light flashed, and he took the lead, entering the misty forest.

"Is that? Jun Wuming?"

On the square, the female cultivators' eyes lit up, admiring the handsome young man! Among them, two women were particularly attentive.

In front of the female cultivators, a cute and beautiful girl with a rosy face, full of excitement, was jumping with joy. Her features were delicate, her waist slender like a water snake, and she was excitedly pulling the arm of a beautiful and graceful woman beside her.

"Sister, look, look, Brother Wuming is there!"

Lin Bier smiled helplessly, "Xiu'er, you need to be more reserved. Look, everyone is staring at you, aren't you embarrassed?"

Lin Xiu'er turned her head, looking around, and saw that all her sisters were staring at her. "Oh!" Her face turned red with embarrassment, not knowing what to do.

But in an instant, she lifted her shy face from her sister's embrace,叉着小腰，小脸通红，柳眉倒立：

"看什么，再看我就不理你们了！"

众女不由莞尔，望着这般小悍妇模样，心中好笑。只是眼中却流光溢彩，对君无名略微注意了几分？

这君无名先前名声不显，但望其方才气势，只怕也不是普通强者？
