Like it? Li Qingniu remembered that the Sword Spirit asked a similar question not long ago.

But until now, he still wasn't completely sure what it was that he liked. If he liked it when he thought and thought about it, that should be what he liked, right? But aside from Gu Ruoqing, he would also frequently think about Grandma Long, Grandpa Quezi and the others.

Seeing him, Muyanhao hesitated and did not say a word. Muyanhao sighed: I'm finished, it's so hard to speak, it seems that he definitely likes it.

While he said that he was carrying Murong Lanyu, his expression made people feel that he was the one feeling the most heartbroken.

Didn't senior have some questions regarding cultivation? Now you can...

Muyanhao sighed: Right now, I do not have the mood to train in the forest, next time, I will ask junior for guidance. With that, he turned around and walked into the room.

Everyone seems strange today. Li Qingniu said as he rubbed his forehead.

Heh, what a naive young man ~ The Sword Spirit laughed softly.

Inside the solemn and dignified Celestial Star Sect, elders gathered and silently waited for Old Master to arrive.

Aside from Nine Halls, the true core of Celestial Star Sect lay in Star Heaven Hall. The elders in charge of the Nine Halls were only responsible for the affairs of their halls, while the ones in charge of the entire Sect were the Old Master s that stood guard in the Star Heaven Hall.

All of the past Master in the Celestial Star Sect had shocking abilities and were all rarely seen experts, but because they were mostly indifferent to fame and fortune, and did not admire the secular world, very few people had actually seen them.

But the most mysterious among them was still this generation's Old Master, because even within the Celestial Star Sect, and even if it was an elder of the Nine Halls, very few people had actually seen his appearance.

Every time he appeared, there would be a thick curtain that blocked everyone's line of sight. Even when he was outside, he would usually stay in a sedan chair or carriage that was covered by layers of curtains.

There were very few people who knew the reason. Even the core members such as the Head Elder did not know the reason.

However, there were people who suspected that the real Old Master was long gone. Right now, the Old Master was just an imposter, but a few years ago, in a foreign invasion, the Old Master only used one person to defeat the crazy attack of the near hundred experts. After that, no one dared to question his identity anymore.

Because, other than the Old Master, even within the many Celestial Star Sect s that were filled with experts, there was absolutely no other person who could display such strength.

The heavy curtain was slowly drawn before the throne, and all the clan elders knew that the Old Master was about to arrive. They stood up one by one, facing the throne, and remained respectful.

Old Master arrived behind a curtain, a clear voice sounded out.

They cupped their fists and bowed: "With Nine Halls in hand, Master welcomes Old Master."

Please sit down. Behind the curtain, a vigorous and forceful voice rang out: "Today's routine is to discuss the schedule for this trial. The Meeting Room has temporarily chosen the Tiangu Mountain as the destination for this trial, if any of you have any ideas or suggestions for what to do with it, you can all come forward and discuss it together."

Tiangu Mountain? Isn't that a Wildland?

That's right, does elder Ling Yun have any thoughts on this? Old Master asked.

This was because Nine Halls was respectively named after the names of the nine primordial elders who had just created it, and as a form of respect and recognition for the nine of them, the future generations would always use this method of calling them by their name, including the names of the elders of Nine Halls. Very rarely would they call each other by their real names.

However, Wildland s of at least the fifth level of Star-moon and above are generally only suitable to enter, especially when Tiangu Mountain s are located at the place where Savage Beast are most concentrated. It can be said to be extremely dangerous, and in the past, they rarely arranged such serious trials.

It has been ten years since the last beast tide. I believe you all should still remember the danger of the last beast tide, and that was also the first time in history when Fighter sacrificed the most. Especially the people who participated in the attack on the beast tide that time, they must still have some lingering fears.

Mentioning the beast tide from last time, sadness and lingering fear appeared on the Elders' faces. Even if they hadn't participated in that battle, almost everyone had friends or family members that had perished in that beast tide.

Therefore, after many days of discussion in the hall, it was decided that from now on, the training requirements of all the disciples would be strengthened. If they could not meet the requirements for training, they would be directly eliminated, so that everyone would have more time and energy to spare for the more outstanding disciples, which was how Elder Ling Yun treated the disciples in the past.

Elder Ling Yun furrowed his brows and said: "I wonder what elimination method it is?"

The system would be released one after another after the meeting hall, and each disciple would need a long time to enter the Sect, then set up the strength requirements for the different stages, and those who could not reach the goal would directly release their Sect. Of course, because they could not pass the trials, if an accident happened, it could also be considered as a type of elimination.

But since all the disciples will be participating in the trial, and many of them have only been in the trial for less than half a year, it would be inappropriate to rashly bring them into Wildland. So, he decided to separate the new and old disciples, and the ones that had only been in the sect for a short time, would be sent to Green Tooth Valley …

Everyone had discussed this before in the meeting room, but they all felt that it was unnecessary. Besides, the purpose of the survival training was to train their teamwork and the spirit of helping each other in times of crisis.

At this time, another elder said: I express my support for this proposal, but actually, Elder Ling Yun do not need to be too worried. There is no lack of Star-moon amongst them, and they are even close to outstanding disciples of Starry Sky Level.

Not only that, I heard that this year's Lingyun Hall has an outstanding disciple, in a short few months, he has already become the topic of conversation for the entire Celestial Star Sect. With such a powerful disciple under his command, why would Brother Ling Yun be so worried?

Elder Ling Yun could not help but frown, as if he suddenly had a feeling that he had become the target of everyone. He could not help but smile bitterly in his heart: "In the end, human is still human, even the strongest person in the universe cannot escape the heart of mortals."

He sighed in his heart, and then said: This is exactly what I want to request of Old Master today, I hope that during this trial, Li Qingniu can be left to cultivate within the Celestial Star Sect.

Oh? Why? Unless there is a special reason, all disciples must participate in the trial. This is a rule of the Celestial Star Sect, I have also heard about this Li Qingniu frequently mentioned before, is there any reason why he can't participate?

Although Li Qingniu has talent in the world, it doesn't seem like the legend said that he is omnipotent, but I don't know why his matter would spread throughout the entire Celestial Star Sect. Almost everyone was talking about him now, and I felt that it would cause waves if he were to travel together, affecting the other disciples' focus on cultivation.

Brother Ling Yun had looked down upon the other eight halls too much. Although Li Qingniu's name had recently attracted quite a bit of discussion within the Sect, he had no influence on the entire Sect at all. Everyone was merely finding a new topic to discuss while cultivating bored.

Yeah, we can understand how Elder Ling Yun is trying to protect his disciple, but I think it's a good thing for everyone to see for themselves what kind of person you, Qing Niu, really are.

Brother Chi Lie …

Ling Yun, you're saying that you're not participating in the trial just because of a few words that others have discussed with you? This is not justified, and your Celestial Star Sect has never been like this before. Old Master said in a dignified tone.

But, Old Master …

Alright, this matter doesn't need to be discussed anymore. This old man also wants to see just what is so special about this young man who caused the entire Sect discussion?

Seeing how determined the Old Master was, Elder Ling Yun could only sigh: "Yes."

After observing them for the past few months, he realized that even though Li Qingniu had high innate talent and comprehension skills, he was still unwise when it came to dealing with human affairs. Or rather, his previous relationships were too simple and he did not understand the complexities of human hearts.

Normally within the Lingyun Hall, because Li Qingniu was diligent in his studies, and because he got along well with his fellow disciples, everyone was learning together, helping each other out, Ling Yun was relatively relieved.

Outside, in the eyes of the other eight halls disciples, Li Qingniu had long been more than just a topic of discussion. Elder Ling Yun had foreseen this point and thus did not wish for him to participate in the trial, but did not expect that everyone else would object to his suggestion.

Not only was he worried about Li Qingniu, he was also worried that the trial would bring about unexpected losses to his Celestial Star Sect.

A large group of Savage Beast resided in the deepest part of the Tiangu Mountain and most of them were Savage Beast from the first level of Star-moon to the eighth level of the Star-moon.

For example, a Star-ranked Barbarian Beast usually needed at least a Star-ranked warrior to have a chance at victory, and a Star-ranked Barbarian Beast required at least a stellar rank strength to suppress it.

In a word, in the same level of cultivation, Savage Beast's strength was usually one tier higher than a human's.

To the majority of the current disciples, this was an opponent that they could not defeat. Even if there were a few experts who had already stepped into the Starry Sky Level, their numbers were limited, so it was difficult for them to take care of everyone else.
