C1105 The Gate Is Wide Open
As the sun rose, time finally came.
All the cultivators had gathered in front of the mountain gate, waiting for the once every ten years opening of the Heart Sword Sect.
"Dong... Dong... Dong... Dong..."
An ancient and melodious bell sound suddenly sounded, and the entire Qing Yun Shan instantly became silent. At this moment, not to mention the cultivators gathered in front of the mountain gate, even the birds, fishes, and insects in Qing Yun Shan's mountain range... It was as if they had been affected by the bell sound, causing them to quieten down.
Only the sound of the bell could be heard echoing in the sky. It was followed by forty-nine rings of the bell. All the cultivators looked at the huge mountain gate with eager eyes.
BANG!
The huge sound echoed in the mountain gate, and the cultivators' eyes became fanatical.
Between the two of them... The air in the huge mountain gate began to fold and distort, and an invisible door slowly opened.
As the invisible door opened, a gust of strong wind instantly rose outside the mountain gate. It was the airflow that surged out of the mountain gate, and it contained a dense divine soul aura. It made all the cultivators excited, their mouths were wide open, they tried their best to breathe in the mountain breeze, like a desert traveler who was about to die of thirst seeing clear water.
"So this is the opening of the mountain gate?" Ye Bufan was shocked in his heart. He also began to devour the mountain breeze. He absolutely did not want to miss out on the rich divine soul aura.
A strong divine soul aura gushed out from the mountain gate, filling the cultivators' stomachs.
Ye Bufan also swallowed a lot of it, feeling that it was very nutritious. His entire body felt very comfortable from inside out, as if he had finally taken a hot bath after a tiring day.
As the divine soul qi that rushed out of the mountain gate gradually dissipated, Ye Bufan also understood why so many cultivators had come.
It wasn't just for the slim chance of becoming a disciple of Heart Sword Sect, but also to obtain the nourishment of the divine soul Qi when the mountain gate was opened.
The divine soul energy that surged out from the mountain gate was the same as the divine soul energy in the Soul Stone, or perhaps even richer.
As long as they came here and took a few breaths of divine soul energy, it was equal to having a lot of Soul Stone for no reason. Such a cost-effective thing, even a fool would know that it was worth it.
Ye Bufan calculated the divine soul energy that he absorbed and it really surprised him. It was actually equivalent to consuming ten low-grade Soul Stone!
A Soul Stone was a very rare thing, and it could only be circulated among Shape Changing Stage cultivators. It was very rare for cultivators below the Shape Changing Stage to have such a thing in their hands, and even if they were from aristocratic families, there weren't many of them. Ye Bufan didn't even have the worst Soul Stone in his possession.
It was just the Qi of the divine soul that rushed out when the mountain gate was opened, and it had been divided into countless portions when it was distributed to Ye Bufan. The result was still the same as ten pieces of low grade Soul Stone. How could he not be shocked? He felt that this trip was worth it?
Only now did he understand why there were cultivators who knew that the Heart Sword Sect's ten years of Recruiting Conference was just a tool to accumulate wealth. They would still come again and again. In fact, they weren't here for the sake of becoming a disciple of the Heart Sword Sect. They were here just for the opening of the sect. It was worth it to absorb so much divine soul energy.
Looking around, almost all the cultivators had satisfied expressions on their faces. It was obvious that they had gained a lot from the opening of the mountain gate.
Ye Bufan sighed in his heart. He felt that he had underestimated the people of the world. Even in the past, the Heart Sword Sect had only used the recruitment event as a tool to accumulate wealth. However, the way they released the spiritual energy of their souls had made many cultivators yearn for it. It had to be said that they were thinking about it. They had an excellent grasp of the mentality of a cultivator.
The heroes of the world were all included in the calculation!
Although it was a bit exaggerated, it was not far away.
But very quickly, Ye Bufan's mood became better.
Because the examination this year had changed, he really began to sincerely recruit disciples. This way, besides the spiritual Qi of the divine soul that gushed out when the mountain gate opened, there was something more attractive.
"I wonder what kind of examination this year will be?" Many people had such guesses in their hearts.
They were filled with anticipation and apprehension, afraid that the news that they had released earlier would not be accurate. This year, it would not be a true recruitment of disciples, nor would it be a gathering to amass wealth. That would be disappointing to the end.
Ye Bufan didn't feel troubled. He had already gotten the news from the 'Monarch'. He felt that since Sung Qing and the others would take the opportunity to enter the Heart Sword Sect, this news should be true.
After all, Sung Qing's organization had spent a lot of money to come up with such a plan. It should be more reliable.
Ye Bufan looked around the mountain gate. He couldn't wait for the exam to arrive.
Just as everyone was looking forward to the start of the examination, the gate of Heart Sword Sect suddenly blossomed with seven colored lights.
Orange, orange, yellow, blue and purple. The colors of the rainbow shone on the mountain gate one by one. No one knew when, but a person had appeared on top of the mountain gate.
This person was wearing a green robe, and a sword was hanging from his waist. He stood on top of the gate, his clothes fluttering in the wind. His long hair was fluttering in the wind, and he had a tough face. He had a cold temperament, and he looked like the skin of a peerless expert.
As soon as this man appeared, the entire mountain gate fell silent. It could be seen how powerful his aura was. Although he had borrowed the reputation of the Heart Sword Sect, it was enough to show how extraordinary this man was.
"Wow! It's the Cold River Swordsman, Zuo Bo!"
"This man is Zuo Bo?"
"Of course, did you see that Cold River Sword? That's his famous Divine Weapon! "
Ye Bufan narrowed his eyes and recalled the information he had heard earlier.
Since he was prepared to join the Heart Sword Sect, he naturally had to know more about it. Later on, in order to help him, Zhang Han sent him more detailed information.
Zuo Bo was thirty years old and was known as the Cold River Swordsman. The Cold River Sword he used was a divine weapon. It was said that it was forged from ten thousand year old ice at the bottom of the river.
There were nine divisions in the Heart Sword Sect. Zuo Bo was the chief disciple of the Heavenly Go Sword Hall, one of the nine divisions. Not only was his cultivation base extremely high, his combat strength was also extremely strong. He was also a person who held great power. He was truly a mainstay of the Heart Sword Sect.
Such a person had actually appeared at the mountain gate. It seemed like he was going to be the one in charge of the Recruiting Conference. This immediately made the cultivators in front of the mountain gate feel their hearts heat up.
The Recruiting Conference would never send such a person to preside over the sect. It would be great if they could just send an inner sect disciple to preside over the sect.
This time, even Zuo Bo was sent out. This showed how much importance they attached to this disciple of the Recruiting Conference.
Ye Bufan's eyes couldn't help but start searching the crowd. Sure enough, he saw Sung Qing.
Sung Qing's performance was no different from the other cultivators. His face was full of excitement, and he was rubbing his fists, as if he really wanted to participate in the examination.
Those who didn't know wouldn't be able to guess that he was a spy.
Ye Bufan somewhat admired Sung Qing.
When Zuo Bo appeared, he thought that Sung Qing would be nervous and scared. After all, who was Zuo Bo? Even if Sung Qing hid himself very well, there was a possibility that he would be found out.
But now, it seemed that Sung Qing did not show any unusual behavior on the surface, which made Ye Bufan admire him for being able to keep his composure.
Zuo Bo stood on the mountain gate and glanced at the numerous cultivators outside the mountain gate, causing the scene to once again quieten down.
Zuo Bo's voice was cold and detached, and he didn't look at anyone else. He said in a formal manner, "The test this time is divided into three stages: Video Projection, Potential, and Combat. I will be in charge of the Video Test. All of you, get ready. It will start right away. "
"What!? Even Zuo Bo is only in charge of one test subject?"
All the cultivators were shocked. They thought that the Recruiting Conference had attached great importance to the task of letting Zuo Bo preside over this event. They never thought that this Swordsman Han Jiang was only the host of the first test. Then, would the host of the next test be the higher ups of the Heart Sword Sect?
All the cultivators were looking forward to it even more.
Of course, most of the cultivators only focused their attention on Zuo Bo after the thought crossed their minds.
After all, if they couldn't pass the first test, it would be meaningless even if they knew who was supporting them in the next test.
It was naturally good to see their idol. The most important thing was to pass the test.
Apart from a few brainless fans, most of the cultivators were focusing on the first test that was about to arrive.
"Projection? What is a projection, how can it be shown, and how can it be determined whether or not it passed?"2
Many cultivators were guessing in their minds.
Not long after, Zuo Bo took out a fist-sized rock in the shape of an egg. He threw it on the ground, and the rock immediately swelled up against the wind. Soon, it became a big rock as tall as a man, standing in the middle of the mountain gate. It emitted a faint fluorescent light.
The cultivators looked at the egg-shaped rock, not knowing why.
Zuo Bo said, "Now all of you come up and touch this Illuminating Divine Stone with your hands. The fluorescent light on the rock will turn into the way you use your Divine Sense, can you pass this stage? It will depend on whether your divine sense talisman meets the requirements of the Heart Sword Sect. "
"Ah! I can't believe it!"
The cultivators all took a deep breath, some of them were hesitating.
Spiritual Sense was the thing a cultivator wanted to hide the most, especially before reaching the Shape Changing Stage, it had to be kept a secret.
Because before reaching the Shape Changing Stage, most cultivators only had one or two passive abilities. This passive ability might not be able to directly increase the combat strength of a cultivator, but it could allow them to have a very strong defensive ability when facing a specific attack in a certain environment.
It was just like Ye Bufan's light immunity. It could not help him increase his damage when attacking others, but it could give him a very strong resistance when he was attacked by a light type attack.
He tried his best to hide his spiritual sense form so that others would not know which kind of attack had a stronger defensive ability. This was a decisive factor in a battle.
Therefore, it was very important for a Shape Changing Stage warrior to hide his spiritual sense properly.
Now, the Heart Sword Sect was trying to expose their spiritual will to the public. Naturally, many of them couldn't stand it anymore.
The commotion among the warriors was getting bigger and bigger, but Zuo Bo ignored it. He just had a cold smile on his face, and his cold eyes swept across the few warriors who had the most intense reactions.
Zuo Bo's aura was too powerful. Although his words had stirred up a commotion among the cultivators, they quickly calmed down and looked at Zuo Bo, hoping that he would give them an explanation.
Ye Bufan frowned slightly. He didn't want to expose his divine sense.
