The Liuli Sect has declined, and the Qingxin Pavilion has remained uncontested. It is only a matter of time before the title of the head of the three major sects falls on the Peach Blossom Hall.

However, these sect disputes have nothing to do with Yan Ling. Now she just wants to become Chu Liuli's disciple in the disciple selection competition three months later.

But three months is not a short period of time. In addition, Peach Blossom Palace does not have a residence specifically for selected disciples. Yan Ling at least finds a home by himself so that he can practice quietly and wait for the selection competition in three months.

Yan Ling took out the guide plate left to her by Nangong Yan in the storage ring, and accurately determined the location of the place where the disciple selection would be held - Zijin State, Holy Imperial City.

In this world, there are a total of nine states, each of which has its own characteristics——

Among them, Yan Ling is located in Yunzhou City. The state where Qinghe City is located is called Lingze State. Because it encompasses Buzhou Mountain on the edge of the heaven, it has received some immortal energy and the blessing of Buzhou Mountain. The state has the most spiritual energy left.

.

The state where the Spirit Sword Sect is located is called the Demon-Sealing State, because the Demon Clan Lord is sealed under the Duan Nian Cliff, so it is also the state that the major sects are most concerned about.

Wangchuan lives in the wilderness state. Because the Demon Realm is located here, there are almost no people in this state. Apart from the bustling scene in Wangchuan, the surrounding area is also a wilderness.

The Imperial City of the Human World is located in the Zijin State. From ancient times to the present, the royal family has always been the supreme existence in people's hearts. Even those who have achieved cultivation will obey the arrangements of the royal family of the human world. Even those powerful people in the sect

They will also have some respect for the people of the royal family, but the people of the royal family know that their mortals are fundamentally different from these cultivators, so they will not ask the monks to intervene in some wars in the human world.

The remaining five states are named Cuiwei Prefecture, Tianlei Prefecture, Yaofeng Prefecture, Xianyu Prefecture and Liren Prefecture.

At this time, Yan Ling did not know that she would set foot on the territory of each state in the future. As for the characteristics of the other five states, the mystery would be revealed through Yan Ling's exploration one by one.

Having said that, because the royal family of the human world is located in the Holy Imperial City of Zijin State, it is also the most powerful and heavily guarded city. Therefore, the five-year disciple selection competition will be held in the Holy Imperial City three months later.

.

Yan Ling learned from the information revealed by the guide plate that the Yunzhou City she was in was some distance away from the Holy Imperial City in the Zijin State. Even the flying boats of the major sects had to travel for several days and nights to reach this distance.

To arrive, for Yan Ling, a monk in the Nascent Soul stage, it would take at least three days and three nights to fly with a sword.

Without saying a word, Yan Ling stepped on the Snow Soul Sword and headed towards the Holy Imperial City.

In the early morning of the third day of the journey, Yan Ling finally saw a corner of Zijin State. She made a rough estimate. Judging from her progress in the past two days and two nights without stopping for a moment, she could arrive at the Holy Imperial City at noon today.

, several hours ahead of schedule!

However, just when Yan Ling was glad that the trip went smoothly, he suddenly noticed that there was thunder rolling not far away in front of him, and the sky in the east that had already ushered in the dawn also darkened instantly, and the rolling thunder kept moving towards Yan Ling.

Ling was attacking, Yan Ling had no time to think and quickly flew down with his sword.

After finding a relatively safe place to settle down, Yan Ling slowly put the Snow Soul Sword back into its scabbard. While looking at the scene of several giant thunders striking in the sky, he murmured to himself: "It seems.

Which senior is going through the tribulation again!"

But no matter who is overcoming the tribulation or which level of thunder tribulation she is crossing, it has nothing to do with Qing Yanling. However, this thunder tribulation blocked her way to the Holy Imperial City. Fortunately, the disciple selection competition

It was still early, so Yan Ling was not in a hurry. Without thinking too much, he found a cave nearby and prepared to enter samadhi.

Yan Ling had no distracting thoughts when practicing, so she quickly became immersed in concentration.

After practicing for a long time, Yan Ling opened his eyes again. It was already clear outside the cave. It seemed that the thunder tribulation had passed, but he didn't know what the situation would be like for those who experienced the thunder tribulation.

But these had nothing to do with Yan Ling. She stood up and brushed off the dust on her body, intending to continue flying with her sword, but her eyes were attracted by a shabby book on the ground in front of her.

Yan Ling took a closer look and saw a few large characters written on the shabby cover of the book - Encyclopedia of Kyushu.

The name was quite interesting, and Yan Ling couldn't help but pick it up and read it.

I saw that the content of the book is indeed very consistent with its title. In addition to introducing the names and past of the nine states, this book also lists the various sects included in each major state. In addition to the various sects,

In addition to the names of the sect leader, elders and some powerful people, it also includes the names of some disciples with outstanding abilities, as well as the attributes of the monks within the sect.

For Yan Ling, a monk who only focused on cultivating the Sage Sword and ignored what was going on outside the window, these were simply treasures.

But, was this book left out here, or was it deliberately discarded?

Of course, Yan Ling hopes that the latter situation will be the case, so that she can keep this encyclopedia in her bag with peace of mind. However, the current situation is undecided, and Yan Ling is unwilling to take the book away without authorization, in case the owner of the book comes back to find her.

Isn’t the book a waste of time?

With this in mind, Yan Ling began to look around in the cave, hoping to get some clues about the owner of the book.

After searching around, Yan Ling suddenly discovered that in an inconspicuous corner of the cave, there was an old man meditating.

When she first saw this meditating figure, Yan Ling was really startled. With her Nascent Soul stage cultivation, she could easily detect that there were other people besides her in the cave, but in her case

From the first moment she entered this cave, she didn't feel the breath of any living creature, so she concentrated here to meditate.

Thinking of this, Yan Ling was surprised. He tentatively put his finger on the old man's pulse. After a moment of pause, he found that although there was still some warmth in the old man's wrist, it was gone.

breath.

Suddenly, Yan Ling took a few steps back, suddenly fell to his knees, kowtowed three times, and muttered:

"Congratulations to the Immortal for his ascension!"

"The younger generation has eyes that cannot recognize Mount Tai, and has disturbed the immortal. Please ask the immortal to atone for his sins."

It turned out that the quiet and breathless old man in front of me was the owner who had just experienced the thunder tribulation. This time he had successfully passed through the thunder tribulation and ascended to immortality, leaving this body in this cave.

After apologizing, Yan Ling stood up and was about to leave, but her eyes glanced at the encyclopedia in her hand, she thought for a moment, and then she suddenly turned around and knelt before the immortal's body again.

Three times, this time is not an apology but a thank you:

"Thank you, Immortal, for the book!"
Chapter completed!
