Chapter 274
Celestial Star Array
The strange atmosphere didn't last for long. Master Huo Yun immediately smiled, "So this little girl is from your Broken Rock City's younger generation. Her talent isn't bad. She's younger than Su Qi and Su Yang, but she's already at the advanced third grade. That's not easy."
Although Master Huo Yun had a smile on his face, the depths of his eyes were filled with ridicule and mockery. He knew that if the Arcana Masters sent out by Broaching Rock City were only at this level, then their An Ding City's only opponent would be Yeyang City.
With Su Qi and Su Yang, two advanced third grade arcanists, Master Huo Yun knew that Ye Yang City had a great chance of becoming the champion this time.
"Hmph!"
Master Ku Ya coldly snorted and returned to his seat with Xue Nai. He didn't want to speak with Master Huo Yun anymore.
Xue Nai, on the other hand, clenched her hands tightly together and bit her cherry lips. She firmly said to Master Ku Ya beside her, "Master, I won't let you down in this Arcana Ceremony!"
Master Ku Ya was startled. Then, with a gentle gaze, he patted Xue Nai's shoulder and smiled, "You don't have to worry too much. Although the disciples sent by An Ding City and Ye Yang City are very strong, our Broken Rock City isn't weak either. You don't have to worry too much. Just do your best."
"Mm!
I will. "Xue Nai nodded and firmly said …
As time passed by, the arcana testing grounds became more and more lively. An endless stream of arcanists poured in from the entrance of the testing grounds, causing the originally spacious testing grounds to become a little crowded and noisy.
As time continued to pass, the anxious expression on Master Kuraki's face became more and more intense. He frowned and muttered to himself, "The Arcana Ceremony is almost here. Why hasn't Zhuowen arrived yet?
If he doesn't come soon, I'm afraid it'll really be too late. "
Xuan Ling beside him also saw the uneasiness on Master Kuraki's face. She sighed, "Kuraki, isn't that disciple of yours being too childish?
Why hasn't he arrived yet? If he doesn't come soon, there won't be any time left. "
Master Kuraki didn't reply. He only sat in his seat in silence. However, his furrowed brows showed that he wasn't in a good mood.
At this moment, a gloating smile appeared on Ouyang Xishui's face.
Dong!
Dong!
Dong!
In the end, a clear and loud sound of a bell suddenly rang throughout the entire Arcane Art Trial Grounds. The loud and clear sound continued to reverberate throughout the entire trial grounds, and the originally loud noise quietly quieted down at this moment.
The dense crowd of locust-like arcanists on the training field all raised their respectful gazes and looked towards the VIP seats at the very top. They knew that Master Ku Ya, the Arcanist with a lofty status in Broken Rock City, was sitting in the VIP seats …
At this moment, Master Ku Ya's weathered face was filled with a solemn expression. He stood up and looked down at the empty training field below. His calm voice slowly rang out, "I, Ku Ya, in the name of the president of Broken Rock City's Arcane Guild, announce that the Tenth Arcane Ceremony will now begin!"
Boom!
The entire place was in an uproar. Loud cheers shook the nine heavens.
After the announcement, a dozen figures immediately rushed out from the VIP seats. Among them, Master Ku Ya was the leader, and the rest were all Perfect Grade Three Arcanists.
Master Ku Ya led the dozen or so arcanists and stood in the air above the training field. Then, Master Ku Ya's hands quickly formed a complicated seal and shouted, "Form the Celestial Star Formation!"
After saying that, Master Ku Ya patted his Qiankun Bag. Then, countless sparkling Origin Crystals immediately scattered from his hands. They were like light that drifted across the air in a dazzling trajectory.
"The Celestial Star Formation, Only One Direction; Mountains Crumble in Front, Earth Shatters Into Peaks!"
The moment Master Ku Ya scattered the Origin Crystals, the dozen or so arcanists also drew a complicated trajectory with their hands. Obscure seals flashed past one after another. Then, everyone could clearly feel that the Origin Qi above the Arcane Art Trial Grounds had actually started to boil strangely at this moment.
Then, the countless Origin Crystals that were like meteors in the air suddenly intertwined and outlined in an extremely strange trajectory in the air. They actually intertwined to form a boundary with a radius of several hundred miles in the vast training field.
Rumble!
A deafening explosion suddenly sounded. Then, the ground within the boundary suddenly cracked open. A dazzling light, like a protruding peak, suddenly rushed out from the depths of the ground. When the light gradually faded, a pyramid-like mountain peak that was several hundred feet tall suddenly appeared in front of everyone.
This pyramid-like mountain peak was quite strange. There were layers of steps on its edge. The steps were ten feet long and ten feet high. Each step was enough to accommodate two to three people. There were tens of thousands of such steps from the lowest to the highest.
The surface of the entire pyramid-like mountain peak flickered with a faint blue light. Looking from afar, it looked distant and mysterious. Above the pyramid, there were countless twinkling stars. Above the Celestial Star Formation, the stars were bright and brilliant, mysterious and gorgeous.
"It's actually a Grade Four Origin Array, Celestial Star Formation. It seems that Ku Ya has really put in a lot of effort to hold this Arcane Art Ceremony."
In the VIP seats, Huo Yun looked at the pyramid-like mountain peak in the boundary and the countless stars on the mountain peak. His eyes couldn't help but flicker as he muttered to himself.
All the arcanists in the entire Arcane Art Trial Field fell into silence and shock because of the great effort of Master Ku Ya and the others. After the silence, countless cheers and applause broke out.
After gathering the power of more than a dozen Perfect Grade Three Arcanists and outlining the magnificent Celestial Star Formation below, Master Ku Ya expressionlessly stomped his foot in the air again and shouted, "Sacrifice the tower!"
"Sacrifice the tower!"
"…"
As soon as Ku Ya finished speaking, the dozen or so arcanists in the surroundings immediately shouted in unison. Their loud and clear voices were deafening and shocking throughout the training ground.
Whoosh!
After saying that, Master Ku Ya patted his Qiankun Bag again and took out a palm-sized light tower. This pocket-sized light tower was emitting a glass-like brilliance. Waves of frightening Mental Energy constantly surged out from the light tower, and the surrounding air emitted some muffled tearing sounds.
A thought passed through grandmaster Ku Ya's mind after he suddenly took out the light tower. The incomparably powerful Mental Energy within his Niwan Palace surged out like floodwaters and poured into the light tower. The remaining dozen plus people did the same. Their Mental Energy poured into the light tower like it was pouring into the sea.
Buzz! Buzz!
Buzz! A strange sound rang out. Then, the palm-sized light tower suspended in the air suddenly trembled. After emitting a loud buzzing sound, it rapidly expanded at a speed visible to the naked eye.
65 feet … 05 feet … 655 feet … 755 feet … 055 feet …
Like a small sapling growing into a towering tree, the palm-sized light pagoda eventually turned into a gigantic pagoda that was five hundred feet tall. In the end, the gigantic pagoda rumbled and landed not far from the pyramid. The two gigantic buildings faced each other from a distance under the starry sky.
Watching such a shocking scene in the training field, all the arcanists could not help but feel their blood boil. They knew that they were going to have an arcane competition under the stars. Regardless of whether it was the huge scene or the vast area, it made all the arcanists' eyes light up.
After doing all that, Master Ku Ya's eyes narrowed. He looked down at everyone in the training field and loudly said, "The Arcana Ceremony is divided into three stages. The first stage is the Gold Peak. There are a total of ten thousand steps on the Gold Peak. Moreover, there is a powerful Mental Energy pressure. The higher you go, the stronger the Mental Energy pressure.
"At the top of the Gold Peak, there are a hundred bluestone platforms. The Seal Breaking Crystal, a grade two Origin Crystal, is placed on the bluestone platforms. Only the top hundred competitors who reach the peak will pass the first stage.
"Therefore, the first stage will now begin. The time limit is the time it takes for an incense stick to burn!"
Boom!
As soon as Master Ku Ya finished speaking, the arcanists who had been waiting in their seats for a long time rushed toward the Celestial Star Array like a swarm of locusts. They were heading toward the Gold Peak that was emitting a faint blue light.
"Su Qi, Su Yang!
The first stage shouldn't be difficult for you. With your strength, you should be able to quickly take the lead. Now, you should go too! "Master Huo Yun smiled faintly. His face was full of calmness as he said to the twins behind him.
"Yes!
Master! "
Su Qi and Su Yang respectfully cupped their hands toward Master Huo Yun. Then, powerful Mental Energy wrapped around them and they flew toward the Celestial Star Array.
Not far away, Master Han Yun cast a sidelong glance at Master Huo Yun's back and said to the four people led by Zhou Yi, "The most important stage of this Arcana Ceremony is the third stage. The four of you should be able to pass the first stage as long as you pay attention. You should go too!"
"Yes, Master!"
Zhou Yi was full of energy as he bowed from afar. Then, he led the three people behind him and flew toward the Gold Peak without looking back.
On the side of the VIP seats, Xue Nai looked at Su Qi, Su Yang, and the others with a complicated expression. She gritted her teeth and a determined look appeared in her beautiful eyes. Then, she also extended her graceful figure and shot out like the wind.
"I must win this Arcana Ceremony. This time, it's not only my honor, but also the honor of the entire Broken Rock City."
As Xue Nai left, Ouyang Yatao, who was beside Master Xuan Ling, also flew out without hesitation and joined the countless arcanists who were fighting for the materials.
At this moment, cold sweat faintly appeared on Master Kuraki's forehead. He sat in his seat somewhat dejectedly and muttered to himself with a bitter smile, "Sigh!
It's over, it's over. Zhuowen still hasn't come. It looks like he won't be able to make it. I shouldn't have let him leave Broken Rock City without permission. I shouldn't have! "
Xuan Ling looked at Master Kuraki, who seemed to be in a daze, and sighed. Just as she was about to say something, she suddenly frowned and raised her head to look at the horizon not far away …
