Perfection: I have a Tree of Ten Thousand Paths

"Hey!"

Suddenly, a sharp, long cry came from the sky, and a raptor with brightly colored and vividly plumed wings flew across the sky, with more than a dozen women standing on its back.

Many people on the street couldn't help but look up.

"This is a five-colored peacock, with the bloodline of an ancient divine bird. How wondrous!"

"roar!"

A thunderous roar shook the mountains and rivers, causing all the mountains and valleys to tremble.

Not far away, a nine-headed lion appeared, its body golden, spewing clouds and mist, its golden light radiating, like the song of a five-colored peacock.

"This is an ancient remnant species! Could it be a prince or princess from some ancient kingdom coming to the Heaven-Mending Pavilion?"

On the back of the nine-headed lion is a palace, and some figures can be vaguely seen, exuding extraordinary grandeur. Perhaps it really is a royal child being escorted here.

The three of them looked at each other in bewilderment. Before they even reached the Heaven-Mending Pavilion, they had already seen the figures of some powerful and influential forces.

Moreover, the closer one gets to the Heaven-Mending Pavilion, the more auspicious birds and beasts appear, and the more powerful forces are also present.

"The Heaven-Mending Pavilion is truly a place of outstanding people and abundant resources."

Qi Shi'an couldn't help but express his feelings.

"Hey, have you heard? This time, the Heaven-Mending Pavilion is opening its Holy Academy, and only the most outstanding talents will be allowed to enter."

"Really? Then won't the Heaven-Mending Pavilion be even more lively than before?"

"Well, I heard that those two brats who caused such a ruckus in the Void God Realm are coming, and the person with double pupils is also coming to escort his younger cousins. We might just run into each other."

"I heard that there's a little killer in the Void God Realm, that guy called... Demon Lord, who even spoke rudely to someone with double pupils. If they run into each other, who knows who will win."

The passersby were all talking about it, and Qi Shi'an and his two companions also overheard a lot of useful information.

Upon hearing the words "double pupils," Shi Hao clenched his fists tightly, while Qi Shi'an was more concerned about the Holy Academy.

.........

Traveling a hundred miles beyond Butian Pavilion, the mountains rise and fall, ancient trees cover the land, and mist swirls around. The closer one gets to Butian Pavilion, the more spiritual beauty there is. One after another, the not-so-precipitous mountains are shrouded in clouds and mist, and various auspicious beasts appear among them.

Along the way, we saw many lakes, clear and pristine, with lively fish swimming among them. Their colorful patterns made the lake surface shimmer and full of life.

"What a wonderful place! The spiritual energy is already so dense around the outer perimeter of the Heaven-Mending Pavilion. If we could enter the core, wouldn't our cultivation be even faster?"

"Hmm, no wonder it is an ancient pure land that has survived to this day."

Many people are praising the scenery outside the Butian Pavilion, and some are even fantasizing about what it will be like to enter the pavilion.

After traveling another hundred miles or so, we entered the outer area of ​​the Butian Pavilion. A huge stele stood in front of us, with three ancient characters engraved on it: Butian Pavilion!

The brushstrokes are vigorous and profound, with a vast and magnificent aura emanating from them, as if a giant spirit stands there, looking down upon everyone.

"How can there be so many people?"

Qingfeng exclaimed in surprise. Upon arriving at the place, he found that tens of thousands of people were already waiting, crowding the entire mountainside.

Someone nearby said dismissively, "The Heaven-Mending Pavilion is recruiting disciples. Who wouldn't want to join? This is an ancient pure land. Some large tribes would do anything to get a spot."

Tens of thousands of people had arrived long ago, waiting here for many days in advance. The hillside in front of the stone tablet was crowded, and even the nearby low hills were filled with people sitting cross-legged. Looking around, the hillsides were covered with crowds.

"The land is vast and boundless, the journey is long and the wilderness stretches for hundreds of thousands of miles. Many people simply cannot come here, otherwise there would be even more people," an old man sighed.

"This is nothing. There are only a few people now. Just wait a few days. When the selection actually begins, you'll find tens of thousands of people. It's not even a number."

A boy of about fifteen or sixteen sighed. This was his third time coming with the tribe. He had been rejected the first two times because he was not strong enough.

"Hey, little one, there are a lot of people moving around here for no reason. It seems like they're coming for us," Qi Shi'an said telepathically.

His divine sense had now surpassed that of many others at the same level, and upon entering the outer area of ​​the Heaven-Mending Pavilion, he had already sensed something amiss.

He had already sensed something was wrong; some people inexplicably exuded a murderous aura, and their eyes were shifty.

It was obvious they weren't there for the Heaven-Mending Pavilion. If they weren't targeting the Heaven-Mending Pavilion, then they must be after the two of them. Fortunately, they were prepared and had disguised themselves.

"Yes! I noticed that too." Shi Hao nodded heavily.

The news that the two of them were coming to the Heaven-Mending Pavilion had already spread far and wide. Many powerful forces, including kings and nobles, had sent their generals to guard the place, including the six great clans and the Kun clan.

Unfortunately, there were too many people here, and they were simply unable to identify them.

"Furry, stop pretending to be dead. Get up and change your appearance so no one recognizes you."

Shi Hao didn't want to cause big trouble because of the fur ball.

The furball grumbled a few times in dissatisfaction, its fur turned gray in an instant, and its eyes became lifeless, looking dull and radiating stupidity. Then it lay on his shoulder again and fell fast asleep.

"Qingfeng, take the talisman that Little Dot gave you and go in first. With the talisman, you won't have to take any tests and you can directly become a key disciple of the Heaven-Mending Pavilion."

Qi Shi'an thought that he should let Qingfeng go in first, so that the two of them wouldn't have to worry and could show their skills.

"Yes, Qingfeng, you don't need to be so polite with us. With our combined strength, we can pass the test with ease."

"But with you by our side, we're afraid something might happen and we wouldn't be able to take care of you."

Shi Hao quietly took out the talisman and handed it to Qingfeng to prevent others from seeing it.

"But......"

Qingfeng lowered his head, feeling somewhat ashamed. This talisman was obtained by the young man, but now he had to give it to him.

"Hey, listen to me, we're all good brothers. We'll feel at ease if you go in first. I'll have Ah Jin go in with you," Qi Shi'an said earnestly.

"Young men, you don't want to leave, do you?" Qingfeng asked worriedly, fearing that the two of them would leave him.

"Don't worry, I won't leave, and neither will Shi'an. How can we come to this ancient pure land without learning something? There's no reason to enter a treasure mountain and return empty-handed."

"That's right, we never leave empty-handed!" Qi Shi'an smiled slightly at Qingfeng, then stroked Ajin, "Ajin, you carry Qingfeng inside first, we'll be there shortly. Don't let him get bullied."

"roar!"

Ajin called out, indicating that he knew.

"Someone went in with a talisman!"

"This is the fifteenth one already. In the past few days, more than a dozen children have entered with their talismans."

Each person who entered with a talisman caused quite a stir, making everyone envious; tens of thousands of people present were green with envy.

"This is not the most glorious thing. Do you see the many palaces in the distance? They are all inhabited by some very important people."

"The special children they send here certainly don't need any talismans to enter the highest level."

Someone pointed ahead, where the scenery was beautiful, with palaces dotting the towering peaks where distinguished guests stayed, and auspicious beasts roaming the mountains.

There are people from Little Western Paradise, children of the Supreme Human Emperor, descendants of ancient species, visitors from other regions, and even the most mysterious and powerful Shi Yi and others.

Several days later, the day finally arrived for the Patching Heaven Pavilion to begin its trials and select its new disciples.

Sure enough, the number of people surged dramatically, reaching tens of thousands, densely packed in the outer area of ​​Butian Pavilion.

Finally, a group of people sped in from the distant mountain gate. An important figure from the Butian Pavilion appeared and, without saying much, led everyone toward the real mountain gate.

Along the way, the mountains resembled coiled dragons lying down, exuding extraordinary power. From time to time, one could see medicinal herbs taking root in the cliffs and crevices of rocks, but no one picked them.

Qi Shi'an and Shi Hao had witnessed the profound heritage of this ancient pure land, and they were still somewhat apprehensive.

"We'll look into it later and see if we can let the furball out more often to help the Butian Pavilion's medicinal herb fields catch bugs, weed, and collect some herbs."

Shi Hao's eyes were only on these medicinal herbs; he couldn't wait to go up and pick them right now.

"I think it's feasible. Anyway, we're raising them just to eat them, so it doesn't matter who we feed them to." Qi Shi'an nodded, agreeing with this view.

Only Qingfeng was startled by the two people's thoughts and dared not say a word.

Finally, they were led to a huge mountain gate, where two stone mountains stood side by side, forming a natural gateway, majestic and imposing, shrouded in a hazy auspicious mist.

"Qingfeng, go ahead," Shi Hao urged.

"Um!"

"Ah Jin, protect him well. The divine liquid I gave you can be refined after we get to our place and settle down."

Qi Shi'an poured two drops of divine liquid into A Jin's mouth and gave it some instructions.

"roar!"

Akin growled, indicating that he understood.

Then Qingfeng rode on Ah Jin, holding a talisman, and headed towards the mountain gate.

"Ah, another genius! This must be the sixteenth talisman!" the crowd exclaimed, their eyes filled with envy.

Just then, a giant bird appeared in the distance, spreading its wings and flying like a dark cloud, its aura sending chills down one's spine.

"This is King Wu's mount; it must be that godlike youth who has arrived!"

"Are you talking about Shi Yi?"

"yes!"

Previously, everyone thought that the news that Shi Yi was going to join the Heaven-Mending Pavilion was false, but now it has been confirmed, which is absolutely sensational news.

"Hey, I didn't expect to meet this legendary 'young man' so soon." Qi Shi'an said with a slight smile.

Shi Hao clenched his fists, his eyes following the giant bird the whole way.

Many people present thought that if they could cultivate in the same ancient pure land as Shi Yi, they would definitely have the opportunity to challenge him. Thinking of this, everyone was filled with excitement and enthusiasm.

"Fellow Daoists, what is the meaning of this? What is your purpose in coming to my Butian Pavilion Mountain?"

Before the mountain gate, as an old man opened and closed his eyes, runes appeared like a sea, rumbling and making everyone present feel dizzy and disoriented.

There are far too many people here today. Besides the group of young people who want to enter the mountain gate, there are also spies from various kings and nobles and many powerful forces, all looking for two children.

"Fellow Daoist, please forgive us. We are merely here to observe the ceremony on orders," said a warrior clad in silver armor.

As for the truth, everyone knows it, but no one has said it out loud.

The old man sitting cross-legged on the large rock in front of the mountain gate didn't say anything more, but it was clear that he wouldn't stand idly by if something happened.

The events in the Void God Realm have caused quite a stir, and all the major powers and clans know about them, including the Heaven-Mending Pavilion.

"brush!"

A flash of light appeared, and a five-colored phoenix appeared, swirling in the clouds, its divine light flowing.

Seated atop the throne was a woman clad in golden armor, with exquisite features, a radiant face, and flowing hair, resembling a beautiful goddess of war.

"It's the Goddess of War from Zhulu Academy! She's actually come here in person!" the crowd exclaimed.

The female war goddess's sharp gaze swept over tens of thousands of people, checking them one by one, her purpose very clear.

The old man in front of the mountain gate shouted, "Young friend, you've crossed the line!"

"Senior is overthinking it," the female war goddess said dismissively.

With the female war goddess leading the charge, other forces also began to take action without any hesitation.

Because they are still outside the mountain gate and have not yet truly entered, but if the selection ends and those two children blend in, it will be even more difficult for them to find them again.

"The assessment will now begin!"

The old man in front of the mountain gate roared, "The best solution now is to let these young people pass through the barrier immediately, so that outsiders will not be able to get in."

A group of people appeared and led everyone to the primitive battlefield.

"This battlefield is divided into eight areas, and we have laid runes in all of them to ensure that the ferocious beasts cannot enter."

The students of Butian Pavilion were explaining the rules; all that was needed was to pass through the areas marked with runes to pass.

"If someone is strong enough to break through the rune array, they can enter the second level, where a surprise awaits them."

"However, there are many ferocious beasts there, making it extremely dangerous. The choice is entirely up to yourselves."

"Alright, let's enter the array."

At a command, the eight groups marched off in a grand procession toward their respective areas.

"Little one, there might be some precious bones inside the array. Why don't we...hehe!"

A sly smile appeared on Qi Shi'an's face.

He and Shi Hao were assigned to two different areas; he was assigned to the third area, while Shi Hao was in the eighth area, which meant they could obtain several precious bones.

"Then let's take them all without revealing our identities!"

A glint flashed in Shi Hao's eyes, and he revealed a bright smile.

The two rushed towards their respective areas, fearing that if they were a step too slow, the precious bone would be snatched away.

However, the Realm of the Void Gods was also in an uproar at this time.
