Chapter 222

Lava Xian Gong.

Unlike Ning Zhuo heard the Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit's voice.

"You... are you the Palace Spirit of the Lava Xian Gong?" Unlike Ning Zhuo asked after being stunned.

"Yes, yes. Little master. You can call me Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit." The Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit's voice was low; a simple sentence forced it to take several breaths.

Unlike Ning Zhuo frowned and asked again: "What happened to you? Are you injured?"

The Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit took the opportunity to deceive: "Yes, little, little master. My state is closely related to the Lava Xian Gong. Now that the Lava Xian Gong is severely damaged, my state has also become very poor."

"Especially some time ago, there was a beast tide of Red Flame Spirit Beasts impacting the Xian Gong. I had to drive the Daoist machine to participate in the fierce battle. This made my already bad state even worse."

Unlike Ning Zhuo did not doubt it.

In the process of exploring the Xian Gong, he had speculated about the state of the Palace Spirit and guessed that its situation was worrying.

Now, the Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit's weak voice confirmed Unlike Ning Zhuo's speculation.

Unlike Ning Zhuo said: "Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit, you call me master; I just passed the trial, am I now the master of this Lava Xian Gong?"

The Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit couldn't help but roll its eyes in the main hall, took a deep breath, and pretended to be weak again: "Almost, little master, you are almost successful."

"So, in fact, I am not the master of the Xian Gong yet?" Unlike Ning Zhuo said.

The Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit took another breath; it knew Unlike Ning Zhuo was not easy to deal with and had long been fully prepared psychologically.

It explained: "It's that I can't wait. Little master, do you know? To wait for a qualified successor, how long have I suffered!"

"My state is getting worse and worse."

"Little master, hurry up; pass the Palace Examination, defeat other competitors, and you can officially become the master of the Xian Gong."

Unlike Ning Zhuo then asked: "What is the Palace Examination?"

The Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit explained: "According to the old master's rules, the Palace Examination is the highest-spec selection. Through the selection, cultivators who reach a certain standard will obtain corresponding positions in the Lava Xian Gong."

"Cultivators who have mastered relevant positions can use relevant facilities in the Lava Xian Gong, obtain certain permissions, and win contributions to the Xian Gong more efficiently."

"Palace Examination..." Unlike Ning Zhuo's eyes lit up.

When he just checked the stage-clearing rewards, he had many disappointments and did not find a way to become the Palace Master.

Unexpectedly, the next moment, he received the Palace Spirit's active contact.

"Then how do I participate in the Palace Examination?" Unlike Ning Zhuo continued to ask.

Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit: "The old master arranged two paths to select a new Palace Master."

"The first path is to enter the Xian Gong with your body, do many things for the Xian Gong, and accumulate contributions."

"When contributions are accumulated to a certain degree, the cultivator can obtain a position. There are many grades of positions, and the cultivator needs to constantly ascend along the grades, reaching the fourth grade and above, to have the qualification for the Palace Examination."

"This path is relatively difficult."

"The second path is to enter the Xian Gong with your soul, which is relatively simple. The trial disciple only needs to clear one of the paths of Buddha, Dao, or Demon to have the qualification to enter the Palace Examination."

Unlike Ning Zhuo listened to the Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit's explanation intently and understood a little.

To use a not-so-appropriate analogy.

Cultivators who enter the Xian Gong with their bodies are like minor officials becoming officials, accumulating credit and data step by step, ascending step by step, and finally ascending to the palace of the monarch.

Cultivators who enter the Xian Gong with their souls are like entering the Imperial College, becoming students of the Son of Heaven. Once they finish their studies, they can obtain the favor of the monarch and have the opportunity to ascend to the sky in one step.

Unlike Ning Zhuo felt suspicious and asked directly: "Cultivators who enter the Xian Gong with their bodies are almost all outsiders and have not mastered the Three Sects Ascendant Method. Is it really appropriate to let them become Palace Masters?"

Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit: "This is the old master's special arrangement."

"The old master treats all things in the world equally."

"In his heart, there is no distinction between far and near, no distinction between relatives and strangers."

"What he wants to do is just leave the Three Sects Ascendant Method and look forward to the successor carrying it forward."

"But waiting for a cultivator to cultivate the Three Sects Ascendant Method and gain something, and waiting for one of them to pass the Palace Examination and become the City Lord, the conditions are still a bit harsh."

"And even if an outsider becomes the Palace Master, they must be restricted by the Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit and the rules of the Xian Gong and cannot do whatever they want."

"Furthermore, there is always someone higher than someone else. Outsiders may also master better and more suitable techniques than the Three Sects Ascendant Method, right?"

"As expected of the Three Sects Ascendant." Unlike Ning Zhuo sighed after hearing the Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit's explanation.

Unlike Ning Zhuo asked in detail: "Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit, you supervise the entire Lava Xian Gong. Can you tell me, in the upcoming Palace Examination, what powerful opponents do I have?"

Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit: "There are indeed a few."

"The most powerful one is none other than Zhu Xuanji. This person is a member of the Southern Bean Royal Family and possesses a token, so he can obtain the recognition of the Lava Xian Gong from the start."

"He previously offered three quasi-Golden Core-level mechanical puppets in a row, establishing a huge contribution in an instant."

"Now, he has retrieved the Mechanical Demon General lost by the Xian Gong. Once handed over, there will inevitably be a sky-high contribution, enough for him to obtain a high position of the second grade."

The Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit continued to introduce the next five.

They are the Book Master of the Full Book Building, Yang Chanyu of the Empty Gate, the two Golden Core true disciples of the Taiqing Palace and Zixiao Pavilion, and Meng Chong of the City Lord's Mansion.

The Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit recognized the strength of these people.

Among them, Meng Chong, who possesses Immortal Talent, was ranked at the very end by it.

"These are just the candidates that Little Spirit is optimistic about for now."

"After them, there is a group of cultivators who have potential. After developing for a period of time, they also have the ability to participate in the Palace Examination."

In this regard, the Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit focused on the cultivators that the Meng family had specially dug up with heavy money to seize the Xian Gong.

Unlike Ning Zhuo did not expect there to be so many competitors.

Meng Chong, whom he was most familiar with, was the weakest among all the opponents.

At the same time, Meng Chong was also one of the only two people on the path of entering the Xian Gong with their souls who could participate in the Palace Examination.

Zhu Xuanji came from the Southern Bean Royal Family and had been the focus of key attention since he first appeared in Fire Persimmon Immortal City!

The Full Book Building is a super sect, determined to accommodate all the techniques and classics in the world. It is completely understandable that the Book Master responded to the Recruitment Order and participated quietly.

Yang Chanyu... Unlike Ning Zhuo had a deep impression of her.

Yang Chanyu came from the Empty Gate, and the disciples of this sect are usually versatile. It is not strange that Yang Chanyu possesses mechanical attainments.

It is worth mentioning that the weapon she used to sneak attack Luo Shang was a mechanical crossbow!

Meng Chong goes without saying.

The other two Golden Cores are true disciples of the Taiqing Palace and Zixiao Pavilion, respectively. Both sects are super sects, analogous to the Empty Gate and the Soul-Devouring Sect.

Among them, the Taiqing Palace does not have many people but has a very long history. The Zixiao Pavilion has a huge scale and is currently in its prime.

Unlike Ning Zhuo: "There are so many people competing for the City Lord, why do you, Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit, still recognize me as the new master? Why do you want to defect to me in advance?"

The Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit smiled: "Little master, I also made this decision not long ago."

"You are the first trial disciple to cultivate the Three Techniques to the peak of the ninth layer; compared to those outsiders, you are authentic!"

"Your spiritual roots are balanced in the five elements, and your talent is very outstanding."

"You have mastered the Human Life Thread supernatural power, and you also have the Buddha Heart Demon Seal. This precious treasure is the Palace Master's seal lost by the Lava Xian Gong."

"This is fate."

Unlike Ning Zhuo was not too surprised to hear that the Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit knew he had mastered the Buddha Heart Demon Seal.

After all, the Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit is the Palace Spirit of the Lava Xian Gong; it is not strange to know secrets and sense the Buddha Heart Demon Seal.

Especially every time Unlike Ning Zhuo draws out the power of the treasure seal, it flows in along the Human Life Thread. From the perspective of the Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit, this flaw is very huge, enough to judge that Unlike Ning Zhuo possesses the Buddha Heart Demon Seal!

After communicating for a while, the Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit used the excuse of declining state and having to rest to fob Unlike Ning Zhuo off and actively terminated the conversation.

It lay on the throne, feeling extremely exhausted.

It knew deeply: Unlike Ning Zhuo is very shrewd and sharp, with rigorous thinking. In this regard, Meng Chong cannot catch up!

Therefore, trying to fool Unlike Ning Zhuo is a difficult challenge for it.

Judging from the current communication results, the Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit succeeded.

It had to do this.

After the Recruitment Order, its situation went from bad to worse.

Unlike Ning Zhuo, Zhu Xuanji, Book Master, and other cultivators appeared one after another, roaming in the Lava Xian Gong; the pressure on the Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit can be imagined.

It felt deeply alone and, forced by helplessness, came up with a method of vertical and horizontal alliance.

Specifically, it was to first gain the other party's trust and then let the other party fight with the target person.

As long as these people confront each other, the pressure on the Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit will shrink sharply.

It is the one being besieged and fiercely attacked.

Its pressure is really too great!

Someone must share its pressure.

"I am really too difficult."

"So many people dealing with me?!"

"How can I still pursue the freedom that belongs to me?"

The Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit reminisced about hundreds of years ago.

At that time, it was still a free walking fire dragon.

Fire was its source of power, and magma was its paradise.

It roamed in the magma and crashed everywhere in the sky.

It acted violently, untamed, and willfully.

Until one day, a huge shadow shrouded it.

It looked up; it was a huge mechanical palace.

It let out a roar.

When it rushed into the sky, the ripples of flames spread in the air, and the scorching aura made the surrounding magma boil even more.

The volcano erupted with sky-high fire waves, seemingly wanting to burn the world to ashes.

It was extremely confident in its own power and never disdained to play conspiracy and tricks!

It rushed up.

It became the Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit.

In the long years, it was trapped by the huge cage of the Lava Xian Gong.

It spent countless thoughts and efforts to bring down the Lava Xian Gong step by step.

But now, too many people have flocked here, crazily earning contributions and going all out to repair the defects of the Lava Xian Gong.

The Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit was forced into a dead end; it could only play conspiracy and tricks, doing what it once disdained to do most.

"Everything for freedom!" The Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit felt ruthless in its heart.

"For freedom, I can spare nothing!"
