Before one's eyes, it is already sunset, with only half of the outline still visible.
"It ends here for today, those who wish to join my Black and White Academy, please come early tomorrow." The black-haired man on the bow of the boat said loudly, at the same time he beckoned with his hand, the bronze mirror in mid-air quickly shrunk down to the size of a palm and fell into his hand, then the boat automatically headed towards the lakeshore.
Moored the boat and went ashore.
The black-haired elder looked at the bustling crowd of young people, nodded slightly: "Those with confidence usually come to pay homage on the first day. My Black and White Academy has been recruiting disciples for many years, and most successful ones are those who came on the first day."
"Today, 962 people passed the initial screening, but those who can truly become part of my Black and White Academy are countable on one hand, so it's essential to be cautious and give it your all."
"Yes."
Nearly nine hundred people all responded in unison.
"Uh-huh." The black-haired young man nodded, "Wait and follow me."
He turned around and walked inside.
At that moment, a group of young cultivators followed one after another. Ji Ning turned back to take a look and saw that there were still many people waiting silently on the other side of the lake. They should be the relatives, friends, servants, etc. of these over 900 people. There was also a white water dog quietly watching this side.
……
Heibai Academy is located in the western city of Anping City, covering an area of about 900 square miles.
In the immortal sect, this is considered relatively small, but it's 900 miles in circumference... If it were on Earth, one of the billions of small worlds, it would be comparable to the size of a province in my previous life. Like the entire Ancheng County, the core gathering place for countless powerful beings, Ancheng City, is even larger than an entire country in my previous life.
The size of a province, strictly speaking, Heibai Xuegong is not small either.
Inside Heibai Academy, there is also a continuous mountain range.
Ji Ning and his group followed the lead and soon walked a hundred miles to come to a canyon.
"Halt." The black-haired man said.
Almost 900 people stopped.
"Rise." The black-haired young man said.
Rumble...
This vast valley was several miles in circumference, and suddenly the ripples of clear water appeared everywhere in the distance, directly forming a huge seal array. The seal array was extremely large, including not only the valley but also several surrounding mountain peaks. Naturally, these more than 900 people were also trapped in the seal array.
"Whoosh..." "Whoosh..." "Whoosh..." The mechanical sounds echoed one after another.
Only the mountain wall cave entrance wrapped in a large array of seals, began to fly out one by one giant phantoms, as many as eight hundred and ten phantoms flew into the air before stopping.
There are 810 dragon heads, all of which have their mouths wide open and facing downwards.
"It's a puppet array."
"A formation of 810 puppets!" Someone immediately shouted from the valley below, where over 900 young cultivators were gathered. Many faces turned pale.
Whoosh!
The black-haired young man suddenly rose into the air and flew directly above the 810 dragon heads. At the same time, five more figures flew out from the cave entrance on the side of the mountain. Each of them had a strong aura. Including the black-haired young man, there were five men and one woman in total. They all looked down at the scene below.
"Listen carefully." The black-haired man shouted, "Later, the puppet array will start attacking... What you need to do is withstand the attack, rush into the sky, and fly to this cave beside us within one incense stick. That's considered a winner. If no one flies into the hole within one incense stick, they won't be qualified to enter my Black and White Academy!"
Below are over 900 young people. Some are confident, some are timid. Some wait quietly.
"Hmph."
A black-haired youth suddenly had a stick of incense appear in his hand, and it automatically ignited. At the same time, the 810 dragon heads simultaneously burst forth with dazzling green light, each dragon head's mouth shooting out streaks of green lightning, crackling and booming! The bolts of lightning all shot downwards.
A thousand thunderbolts strike simultaneously!
"It has begun." The black-haired youth said.
……
As soon as those dragon heads all spouted out lightning, that incense stick also ignited, and everyone knew it had begun.
"It's not easy to rush into that cave." Ji Ning looked up and suddenly understood, because those 810 dragon heads were right next to the cave. So to enter the cave, one had to fly towards those 810 dragon heads... It was known that those thunderbolts were striking downwards randomly.
In the lower part, the place is big and everyone gets bombed less.
If it is a morning mountain cave flying, the lightning struck will increase dramatically.
"Hong!" Ji Ning wielded the North Ming Sword, and with one sword strike, he directly cleaved apart the thunderbolt that was striking him. The North Ming Sword contained primordial energy, which could also hinder the lightning.
"Awesome." Ji Ning felt his hand tremble violently, "The power of thunder and lightning is not trivial."
"Up!"
"Go!"
Charge!
Suddenly there were several figures riding on magic treasures, and with a burst of energy they rushed up into the sky.
The higher they went, the more dense and intense the thunder and lightning became.
They only lasted for a breath of time before flying halfway up and being struck by dense lightning, forcing them to land.
……
Above the Dragon Head Formation, six people from the Black and White Academy's Yuan Shen Dao were chatting with each other.
"Everyone says that among these over 900 young people, how many can enter the cave?" a long-bearded old man said with a smile.
The short and stout bald man chuckled: "Maybe none of them can get in."
"Not even one can get in, it's not that bad, there should be three to five people who can enter the cave." A woman in white clothes smiled and commented, "Look, this one rushing upwards now, should have considerable strength."
At this moment, several other Yuan Shen Taoists also looked carefully.
Only to see a black-clothed woman suddenly rise into the air, and around her, vines danced wildly. The thunderbolts struck her, but those vines actively welcomed them, blocking every single one of them.
It quickly rushed over half of the height.
Getting closer and closer to the dragon's head formation.
"One half of the puppet array." The black-haired man suddenly spoke lightly, and in an instant, 405 of the original 810 dragon heads were aimed at the black-clothed woman. For a time, thousands of crazy lightning bolts densely bombarded the black-clothed woman, and no matter how hard the vines struggled, it was all in vain.
Boom!
A large number of vines burst forth, and the black-robed woman directly fell from mid-air.
"Not even half can hold on." The raven-haired person shook his head.
"It doesn't count as genius." The woman in white also shook her head.
……
Ji Ning didn't rush to charge, but instead observed for a short while. When he saw that the black-clad youth who was also cultivating the Vermilion Mark of the Nine Heavens Diagram was also extremely close to the Dragonhead Array and was struck by all the dragonheads, Ji Ning completely understood.
"Occasionally being struck at the bottom, then upwards, with more strikes. If rising over half the distance, then hit by half of the dragon heads. At closest range, then attacked by all dragon heads together."
"You must get past all the dragon heads' siege in order to enter the cave."
"In such a small distance, even if two or three people join forces. But once they are surrounded by all the dragon heads... whether they join forces or not, it doesn't make much difference." Ji Ning understood. Because when he got closest to the dragon head, the space was too small, and tens of thousands of lightning bolts had formed a nearly saturated attack.
Lightning completely enveloped that area.
If you want to cross, you must rush across.
There is no shortcut!
"Charge!" As soon as he understood there was no shortcut, Ji Ning immediately transformed into a flower with six layers of water and fire lotus leaves, while a flying sword appeared under his feet, and he rode the sword to charge into the sky.
"Go!"
Rush.
Almost at the same time as Ji Ning, eight figures shot into the sky simultaneously.
All of these were quietly observed beforehand. It was discovered that after the black-clothed man was surrounded and attacked by all the dragon heads... they found no shortcut, only then did they decide to charge forward.
"Charge!" The black-clad man who had fallen halfway down gritted his teeth and charged upwards again.
……
Eight hundred and ten dragon heads are almost gathered together, and they are close to the cave. To enter the cave, one must pass through these dragon heads... destined to be surrounded and attacked by more than eight hundred dragon heads.
Six former Shinto priests looked down from above.
"This one is quite a talent, it's unbearable." The black-haired man laughed and said, "Guess, which of them can pass?"
"That one controlling the green dragon puppet." The white-clothed woman's eyes lit up, and she fixed her gaze on a white-robed young man standing on a green dragon. This young man looked very youthful, with a hint of shyness still on his face, but the green dragon puppet he controlled was extremely agile, dodging and weaving, and occasionally unleashing bursts of lightning.
"In our Tian Da array, only a puppet that has been refined by oneself can be used." The woman in white said, "Looking at how he manipulates the puppet, it's as if it's an extension of his own arm. He is the puppet, and the puppet is him. In terms of puppetry, he is absolutely a genius."
"Uh-huh."
"Right."
"Awesome."
They all nodded one by one.
These Yuan Shen Taoists are not ordinary Yuan Shen Taoists, but rather those from the Hei Bai Xue Gong. Each and every one of them is extraordinary, with piercing gazes that can see right through you. At a single glance, they saw the astonishing innate talent in that white-robed youth's mastery of puppetry.
"What about you others?" The black-haired young man asked with a smile.
"Anyone else?"
"It seems like there's nothing impressive."
"Ordinary."
The gaze of these Yuan Shen Taoists was incredibly high, and although the methods employed by each of them, including Ji Ning, were very formidable, they were unable to make these Yuan Shen Taoists feel astonished.
"Haha." The black-haired elder burst out laughing, "You guys are all so focused on your cultivation, this time letting you come out to take in disciples is also a rare occasion. Old Daoist me... has been listening to news from all directions and knows that among them there is one true talent, look, it's the beast-skin youngster surrounded by blooming water-fire lotus flowers."
"Who is he?" The other five Yuan Shen Taoists looked over.
"This Water Fire Lotus may be ingenious, but it's hardly breathtaking. What's wrong with him?" the white-robed woman asked, and the other Yuan Shen Dao people were also puzzled.
The black-haired youth laughed and said, "He wears beast skin, displays the Water Fire Lotus Flower, and uses a sword... Ten to one, he's that young man from Worry-Free Cave named Ji Ning, a young man who has already grasped the 'Domain of the Way' at the early stage of the Violet Palace."
"Has he comprehended the realm of the Dao?" The other five Yuan Shen Daoists were shocked, each and every one of them lowering their heads to look at that ordinary-looking Ji Ning.
