The next morning, someone came to Ding Hong's residence and presented an invitation. They invited him and Suo Bing to the wedding ceremony. As if he knew that they could not fly, he called for the bearer of the post to bring two egrets to escort them.

With this thought, he couldn't help but feel a bit more admiration for the ability of the emperor of Shu.

The egret was waiting at a deserted cliff. After they climbed up, it flapped its wings and flew into the sky. He actually managed to pierce through the clouds and see the first rays of light in the sky. A sense of righteousness suddenly surged out from his heart.

Not long after, the egret folded its wings and sank into the clouds. It then started to descend and eventually landed on a huge mountain peak. However, this mountain peak was broad and flat. There were actually spiraling stone steps in the outermost area. From the looks of it, it was at least 50,000 feet long! At the back of the mountain, there was a slight protrusion. A gigantic stone sculpture stood tall, and within it was a door that was ten zhang tall.

Before Ding Hong landed on the ground, he carefully observed this place and found that there were almost no commoners here. There was spiritual energy circulating within his body, but it was very weak.

Could it be that these were all Magi?

Ding Hong had occasionally seen Magi in books, and it was rumored that they were descendants of the Great Desolation's Twelve Ancestral Magi. However, there was no record of who these twelve Ancestral Mages were. He really wanted to know who in the middle had created this historical fault. Was it intentional? Was it unintentional?

At this moment, the egret landed on the ground. Someone came to their side, bowed and asked, "Are you Young Master Zhuo and Lady Suo?" It was the Tianzhou True Earth accent.

Suo Bing did not answer, only Ding Hong nodded and said, "That's right."

"Please follow me. The Emperor has been waiting for a long time." After which, he led the way, and the two of them followed. Arriving in front of the stone statue, he bowed and said, "Wu Liu, welcome the guest here. Please open the Holy Mage's Sect."

With a loud clang, the giant door slowly shrank to both sides, revealing a stone path that spiraled downwards.

Wu Liu bowed and said, "Young Master, please."

They walked into the stone passage. There was a stone pillar in the middle of the stone passage, and there was a torch every three feet. It was unknown how many torches they saw along the way. Every two hundred feet or so, one could see a door about ten feet tall.

Although the stone path was deep, it was narrow. The sound of their footsteps echoed in the distance as they walked. After an unknown amount of time, they finally entered a five zhang tall door.

"Emperor Shu is inside. I beg your pardon for my lowly position and can't continue to lead the way. Please forgive me." Wu Liu stood in front of the door and whispered, afraid that the sound would echo loudly.

"Too modest." Ding Hong replied with a salute and then entered the building.

This was a spacious and empty stone room. The size of the room was just right in the area of the platform. It seemed like they had actually hollowed out the entire mountain! In the farthest place, there was a stone platform that had been gathered up. There didn't seem to be too many people here, and after a quick count, there were only about a hundred of them.

"Young master, you're finally here." Bai Yi and Xiao Qin suddenly walked over from not too far away.

"I came late, please forgive me." Ding Hong walked towards them and said with a smile.

"What are you talking about? It's my fault for not arranging everything properly! Come, come, come, come. I'll bring you all to meet my seniors. " Bai Yi was very cordial. She brought the group to a place where there were fewer people. There were three men in black talking.

"My three uncles, these are my friends. How about it?" cried Chetty from a distance.

When they heard his words, the three of them stopped talking and turned to look. They all turned to look at Ding Hong. Their eyes rolled around and they instantly felt a surge of Essence Qi shooting into his body. Ding Hong was stunned by their gaze and could not help but stop in his tracks.

"That's right, no wonder he was selected." One of the people in the middle said in a strange tone. The person on the right nodded, "Big brother is right. He actually cultivates Yin-Yang energy, not one of the five elements. I'm afraid his future achievements will definitely surpass the three of us."

"Bai Yi, this friend of yours is not bad." The person on the far left said.

Bai Yi smiled and introduced him to Ding Hong, "These are my three uncles. They are usually the closest to me. However, this name is a bit strange."

"What's strange? Is the name "One Two Three" weird? " The man who had spoken first glared at him.

Bai Yi smiled bitterly and said, "This is my uncle, Wu Yi. The one on the right is my second uncle, Wu Er. The one on the left …"

"Naturally, it's his Third Uncle, Wu San." Wu San was very dissatisfied with the final introduction and immediately snatched back his words.

Bai Yi smiled in embarrassment and said, "This young master is my husband."

Ding Hong cupped his hands, "Junior Xiaofeng greets the three seniors."

"Hmm, this kid knows how to be polite. Not bad." Wu Yi nodded his head and turned to Bai Gui. "Hurry up and prepare. The witch master will be here soon. Don't let those fellows from the bar become a laughingstock."

"Yes." After thinking for a moment, he said to Ding Hong and the others, "Please wait here for a moment. I will go and tidy up the mess." He turned around and walked out.

"Hey, Bai Tei, this kid is really not bad." Wu Er said.

"That's right. Back then, what we wanted to help him ascend to the next rank was to use all of his skills. Third Brother, you must work harder in the future and nurture him a little bit more. The position of the next Master of the Magi will definitely help him get to the top, snatching back the position of Master of the Mage from the hands of the paladins! " Wu Dai spoke as if no one else was present.

"Little kids, you guys can go for a stroll. The three of us have things to do, so we won't play with you anymore." Wu said, turned around and left.

Seeing that they had walked far away, Ding Hong frowned, "These three seniors, aren't they too open with their words?"

"My young master, you are wrong." Xiao Qin replied.

"Oh?" Ding Hong was curious.

"I'm afraid even the Mage knows what they are thinking. So what if they say it? "The Ba Wu and Shu Witch have been fighting for thousands of years, and it's not strange at all."

"The Ba Witch and the Shu Witch?" Ding Hong's interest was piqued.

"Yes, although the Ba Wu and Shu Wu are both of the Witch clan, but the matter that we are entangled with is something that we outsiders cannot figure out." Xiao Qin seemed to have thought of something and said, "It seems that the origin of this matter is related to a Senior Magus from 9000 years ago. "However, it is too old and there is no record of it, so we outsiders seem to be at a loss on these matters."

"Hehe, for Fairy Xiao to know so much, it must not be easy." At this moment, Bai Yi had changed into a new set of clothes. He was also dressed in black, and mysterious runes were embroidered on his clothes. He looked dignified and handsome, but he was even more mysterious.

"So fast?" Seeing his speed, Xiao Qin couldn't help but be a little surprised.

"Haha, of course I can't wait to get married." A red glow came into her face.

Suddenly, a figure rapidly approached and stopped in front of Bai Yi. He knelt down on one knee and said, "Great King, the Mage Lord has arrived."

"Got it, I'll be right there." "Okay, I'm going over, too. Remember to see if the bride is beautiful." With that, he followed that person into the distance.

Just as Bai Yi left, Xiao Qin asked, "Young Noble Feng, did you bring that sword spirit with you?"

"Sword Soul?" Ding Hong took out the stone that contained the sword spirit. If Xiao Qin hadn't mentioned this, he would have forgotten that he still had such a thing.

"Yes, that's it." Xiao Qin took out a simple and unadorned small bag. It was not much different from a scented bag, "How about I use this Mountain River Bag to exchange for your sword spirit?"

Ding Hong looked at the Mountain and River Pouch in her hand. It was gray in color, with flowing lines sketching out a mountain and river diagram on it. "What kind of strange uses does this bag have?"

Xiao Qin smiled, "Of course it's used to store things. Such a small bag can hold a mountain!"

Upon hearing that it could hold a mountain, Ding Hong instantly thought of something that could contain mustard seeds! However, why would Xiao Qin care so much for such a sword spirit?

Seeing him ponder, Xiao Qin said, "Actually, the reason I want this sword spirit is because of one of my junior sisters. She has been refining a mysterious sword recently. If she has a sword soul with wisdom like this, her power will definitely be much greater. "

Her expression was calm, not at all fake, but whether it was true or not, no one knew. However, thinking about it, it was useless for him to have a sword spirit like her in exchange for a Sumeru Mustard seed bag. This business was also worth it, so he nodded his head and smiled: "If that's the case, then I'll trade with Fairy Xiao."

Xiao Qin faintly smiled but didn't say anything. The two of them exchanged items. Not long after that, the stone room, which had been quite quiet, suddenly quietened down. After which, all the Magi stood on their own sides, opening up a path in the middle. Three people walked in from the outside. One of them walked in from the front with steady steps. He had a resolute expression on his face and his eyes were like an eagle's. His eyes shone with a sharp light. He was about half the height of an ordinary human. He wore a long robe with black and red stripes, making him look extremely strange.

Behind him followed the cymbals and another man. The man's face was pale, the flesh on his face deeply sunken in. His eyes were grey, and he was about the same height as Bai Tei. He wore a long black robe similar to the man in the platoon.

"Greetings, Mage Lord, King Ba, King Shu."

The surrounding people all quickly kneeled down and kowtowed. This instantly caused Ding Hong, Xiao Qin, and Suo Bing to be revealed.

The one walking right in front should be the Mage Lord, and the one who looked like he was about to die was actually the Ba-King!

Seeing Ding Hong and the others standing there without moving, the Sorcerer stopped in his tracks and looked over. Ding Hong felt that his gaze had instantly turned into something solid, like a piece of solid rock pressing down on him. Immediately, he felt his blood boiling. Suddenly, a hand pressed against his back, transmitting a power that Ding Hong had never felt before. He looked over and realized it was Suo Bing!

Xiao Qin also felt the Mage Master's gaze, but she only frowned and didn't find anything abnormal. After seeing Suo Bing's actions, the depths of her eyes suddenly lit up, as if she had discovered something.

"Humph!" The Master of the Mage snorted and looked at Suo Bing, deep in thought. Then he continued to walk forward. Arriving at the front of the stone platform, he sat down on the stone chair, while Bai Tei and Ba Wang stood on either side of him.

The people kneeling down below also stood up at this moment, and moved closer to the front. However, they were all separated by ten feet.

"Today is the day of the wedding of the Emperor of Shu, so I won't say too much. As usual, let's pass the third stage!"

"Bai Yi, do you dare to accept?"

"Why would I not dare? "Please test me, Master Mage." The cymbals stepped out from behind him and bowed in reply.

When Ding Hong saw this scene, he could not help but ask, "Isn't this the wedding ceremony? How did it become like this? "

"Of course, normal people don't look like that, but they are the upper echelons of the Shaman Tribe. If they want to get married and have children, then their abilities must be acknowledged by everyone, especially those above the king level!"

"Above the king?" Ding Hong frowned. "Could it be that after the King of Shu, the King of Ba and the Magus Lord have other positions?"

"That's right, above the Master of the Magi Palace, there is also the Magi Palace of Wu Shan. That is where I met Bai Yi by chance." Xiao Qin explained.

"The power of this Witch clan is really complicated." This was the first time Ding Hong had heard of this. He couldn't help but feel it was a little strange.

"Open three trials!" The voice of the Master of the Mage suddenly rang out, and even some broken rocks that had been loose for a long time fell down from the stone room.

"The first stage, here."

"The second test, here."

Two loud, sharp, and short voices came from the crowd, and two people walked out from two different places. However, the third trial had not appeared for a long time.

Bai Yi's face was calm, but the light in his eyes kept changing.

"The third test is here." The Ba-Wang suddenly took a step forward and stared at him coldly.

The surroundings suddenly became deathly silent. The sound of the torch burning reverberated in the stone room. Bai Yi looked at him coldly, then bowed to the Mage Lord and said, "Mage master, may I ask, since when did the Ba-King become the test of the third trial?"

"Don't be angry, Lord Shu. I only recently thought of this rule because I don't have time to notify you. It would seem rude." The Sorcerer actually had a smile on his face.

"Oh? "Wu Du, aren't you going a little too far?" Wu Yi, Wu Er, and Wu San suddenly walked in from outside.

"Oh three kings, I was wrong not to welcome you all." The Witch Master slowly stood up from the stone chair and smiled.

Ding Hong suddenly found out that Wu Yi, Wu Er, Wu San and the pronunciation of them were all true to their words. As for the Mage Lord and the Ba-Wang, as well as those from the two stages earlier, they all had a Ba-Shu accent.

That voodoo poison must be the master's name.

"Heh, alright. We've been fighting for so many years, why are we pretending to be so hypocritical?" Wu Er said coldly.

"I'm afraid that you've gone a bit too far to let our King Ba take the third stage. What's the point of fighting like this?" Wu San answered.

Wu Dai nodded his head and was about to say something, when Bai Tei suddenly said: "My three uncles, Sorcerer, I've taken over the third stage!"

"Oh?" The face of the Master Magus twitched, and he said: "If that's the case, then I don't need to argue with my three uncles, let's start now!" You should go back and get a wife soon! "

"Hmph, this kid." Wu San snorted and was very dissatisfied with Bai Yi's decision.

"Forget it, forget it, Bai Gui is already so old. If he wants to make his own decision, then let him be." Wu San waved his hand to stop him.

The three of them walked over to Ding Hong.

Everyone hastily saluted, "Greetings, three seniors." After Ding Hong, Suo Bing just felt lucky and didn't say anything.

Wu waved his hand. "No need. Look carefully at how the doll has passed the three trials. "

Wu Yi, Wu Er, and Wu San weren't interested in them at the moment, they just wanted to see how Bai Yi would get through these three trials.
