Deep winter, northern border.

The night sky is as clear as washing, the moon is as bright as frost, shining on the vast forest, the snow lights surge thousands of miles away.

A lonely peak stands on the snowy land of forests and seas. The four big words "Tianxia Sword Sect" are deeply engraved on the cliff, overlooking the world southward.

A commotion came from the forest. A young man jumped out of the forest, looked up at the four big words, and smiled contemptuously.

He has a handsome face, his short black hair is mixed with golden color, his eyes are round, and he looks witty and changeable when he turns.

Then he landed lightly, stepped on the snow without trace, and his eyes fell on the tall back of a man under the cliff, and his complex expressions suddenly appeared, with both kindness and respect from the heart, and resentment and dissatisfaction.

But at least there is no doubt that in his heart, this man is far more majestic than the lonely peak and even a little unattainable.

So he walked up and bowed and said, "Father!"

Li Qingshan looked back and smiled, "Young man, you are indeed the first one."

This boy is his youngest monkey child.

"How could I not come in advance if my father summoned me?"

"But if it were before, you would definitely pounce on my back."

A trace of nostalgia appeared in Li Qingshan's eyes. People are not plants and trees, so who can be ruthless?

"Father, are you...you really leaving?"

The boy suddenly felt reluctant to leave. The person in front of him was not only the famous hero, but also his father.

Li Qingshan waved his hand: "You brothers and sisters, I'm afraid it will take a while to get some wild game. I want to have a drink."

The boy responded, turned around and threw himself into the forest, and in a moment he came back with a big brown bear.

Three more people were next to Li Qingshan, all of whom greeted him with a smile, and one of them said, "Youngest, you are so attentive!"

The boy snorted and went to deal with the bear meat on his own.

Li Qingshan ordered the three of them to find Ganchai.

When the bonfire rose and the bear meat still smelled, there were already shadows under the cliffs, including men and women. They were all heroes; they either stood or sat, and kept a distance from each other.

They are all princes and daughters, inheriting the best bloodline in this world, possessing wonderful powers that ordinary people do not have. Even if they have higher cultivation than them, it is difficult for them to surpass them. What's more, many of them have already possessed the best cultivation level and will definitely be the masters of this world.

The reason why it is not yet, is that the current master. Their father is still sitting here. Everyone knows that he will not stay here for a long time.

Half a year ago, the Tianxia Association's supervisor Yanying handed over the power of ruling, ended its decades of rule, and then announced that it was about to leave the world. The world was in turmoil. Fortunately, the law she had spent decades to establish ensured basic stability, and the hero was still there, who dared to make trouble?

However, the work that she once completed is now completed by dozens of people, and the most important thing is that it lacks a decision maker, and the world needs a new king.

The qualified people are among them, not just because of their identities. This is a world where strong people dominate. If they are not strong enough, no matter how powerful they are, they will not be able to sit firmly on the throne.

So only they can compete for this position.

In this way, not to mention half-brothers, even brothers of the same father and mother also became vigilant with each other. He also believed that Li Qingshan would gather his sons tonight to choose one of them to inherit the position of King of Heroes, and he would feel even more disliked when looking at others.

Li Qingshan seemed to be unaware of all this and ordered with a smile: "Tiger minister cuts meat! Fengxian, come and pour wine for his father!

A man with a beard and naked chest walked up, pulled out a long knife from his waist and waved it, cut out Xiong Shang's blood-stained heart, presented it to Li Qingshan, and then cut off a bear's paw and chewed it up as if no one was around. Except for Li Qingshan, no one was qualified to ask him for service.

Everyone else showed dissatisfaction, but knew that his temperament had always been like this. Although his cultivation was not the best among his brothers and sisters, no one was confident that he could beat him in a single fight.

A woman wearing a pure gold phoenix crown and a gorgeous long skirt came over with her mouth pouting. She was obviously unhappy to do such a drinking thing. Anyway, she didn't want to be a hero, so she was unhappy to curry favor with the "old man".

Li Huchen and Li Fengxian inherited the bloodlines of tiger demons and phoenixes respectively. They are unique among the sects and are the most arrogant. Li Qingshan likes to call them the most, saying that they want to get rid of their arrogance, but everyone does not believe this explanation. From the bottom of their hearts, they think that the "old man" is just bullying others.

The youngest son has grown into a teenager and has a rebellious heart.

Many of them, based on the lifespan of mortals, have entered middle age. They are no longer innocent children at the time. Even Li Qingshan's orders cannot make them obey from the bottom of their hearts.

Of course, this is exactly what Li Qingshan wants, loyal ministers and filial sons are the most boring.

He smiled and shook his head, bite the bear heart one-third in one bite, chewed it a few times and swallowed it, and drank the wine in the bottle in one go: "Gui Nian, come and divide the meat!"

"Yes, Father."

The young man who had come to help Yang Miaozhen convey the news came forward, thought for a moment, and pointed it at the knife, and distributed the bear meat to his brothers and sisters one by one. No one was dissatisfied. This was obviously not just because he had considered it carefully and had no dispute over the distribution.

Li Guinian is the only person who inherited the blood of the Spirit Turtle and the only person who has no interest in the power of the world. However, he is very similar to his mother Yang Miaozhen. He is focused on his mind and seeks the truth, and adds a spiritual turtle's forbearance strategy. Therefore, although he is not old among all the scholars, he is the only person who has no rivals.

Li Qingshan's eyes swept across the monkeys. Except for the three of them, most of them were monkeys. This is naturally because the ape demon bloodline has the absolute upper hand and his temperament is free and unrestrained.

The remaining few are calves, and their temperaments are much more peaceful, but they are all very stubborn.

One of them was bare-headed, the only one who had not received the bear meat because he wanted to be a monk. I don’t know how many times he was beaten by Li Qingshan, but he ended up becoming a monk. He was very strict in keeping with the precepts. At this time, he was folding his hands together and reciting the scriptures silently to save the poor bear.

Li Qingshan thought that he had a connection with the Buddha, but in the end he could not convert to me, so he gave birth to such a "freak". He picked up a ball of snow and rubbed his hands, stood up and looked at the top of the mountain: "Children, eat and drink enough, warm up your body, and prepare to climb the mountain with me. Be careful not to fall down. You can do your best. If you can't go up, stay here. If you fall to death, don't blame me, the father, for not reminding you."

All the philosophers thought he was joking again. Just a mere mountain. How could he fall down?

Even at that youngest and least cultivated, he didn't think it was difficult. He grew up climbing mountains and trees.

Li Guinian suddenly looked to the north and lowered her head and said, "Father, I want to stay here."

"Son of Turtle, you have always been the smartest." Li Qingshan also thought he was a child and touched his head, "But not everything can be calculated. If you blindly seek good fortune and avoid bad luck, you will miss many wonderful things."

Li Guinian was thinking, and suddenly looked up at him, as if she understood something, "Then I'll go too!"

There was no problem for him simply climbing a mountain, but just as he was talking, a dark cloud in the north swept over quickly, covering the stars and closing the moon, and snowflakes fell.

"Let's go!"

Li Qingshan climbed up to the cliff, and the sects followed closely behind. Only Li Fengxian spread her wings and flew around her, and she was so proud of her ability to fly. But when the snow turned into heavy snow, turned into blizzards, and the strong wind yelled between the sky and the earth, she could not fly like this again.

After all, she is not a real phoenix. With her current cultivation level, her human body still seems too heavy. She can only climb onto the rock wall in a mess and shout at Li Qingshan: "You must be sure!"

Li Qingshan laughed loudly and opened his arms to the sky: "Let the blizzard come more violently!"

It seemed as if God heard his voice, the wind became more and more fierce, and the forest was undulating violently. The snow was no longer falling, but rolling unscrupulously between the world, and even the thick snow was rolled up.

With a click, a towering giant tree that was above the forest was broken and swept into the sky by the strong wind, falling dozens of miles away.

Faced with such a powerful force of heaven and earth, even the prince and daughter are as small as mortals, which not only makes climbing very difficult, but also makes the sudden drop in temperature even worse.

Originally, no one cared about the cold. With their bodies, they were almost invincible with the cold and heat. No one was wearing winter clothes. At this time, they exhale and turned into ice, and only then did they realize that they were powerful. They could only lift a breath of true energy to resist the severe cold, but they were quickly consuming the true energy.

Li Qingshan chose the most dangerous path, and even deliberately took the winding and twists.

Everyone believed that this was a test. Even if they were not for the power of the world, and for the dignity of the prince and the prince, no one gave up.

The team gradually grew into a long curved line. The young man following at the end had his lips turned blue with cold, his hands were a little out of control, and his brother and sister were blurred in the wind and snow, and he couldn't see his father walking in front.

I looked down and saw nothing except the wind and snow. I had already climbed up and I didn’t know how high it was. If I fell down, I would have to fall to pieces. I could only grit my teeth and continue to move upwards.

In an instant, all the figures in front of him disappeared. Apart from the wind and snow, there was no other business. It seemed that he was the only one left in the world, and his blood seemed to be about to solidify.

Suddenly, a piece of rock he grabbed loose and fell off. This was something that he often encountered during climbing. However, his stiff body made him lose his center of gravity and fell straight downward without time to change his movements.

"ah!"

"Youngest!"

Li Fengxian suddenly looked back, spread her wings, jumped, grabbed the boy, and tried to return to the rock wall.

However, in the blizzard, it was impossible to keep her flying alone, let alone carrying a person, like a kite with a broken string, swirling by the strong wind. Seeing that they were about to fall, another figure jumped out of the rock wall and shouted: "Monkey fishes for the moon!"

This is not the name of a powerful move, but the name of the game that all monkey children played when they were young. The story of the monkey fishing for the moon was told to each of them.

Seven or eight figures pounced on the sky with wind and snow. The first person grabbed Li Fengxian and felt his legs tightened, and finally formed a long ladder, swaying in the blizzard.

Li Huchen roared with a tiger and drew his sword to cut through the strong wind.

The bald prince and several other brothers worked hard to pull everyone back, and kept chanting the Buddha's name: "Amitabha, Amitabha!"

The boy came to his senses and felt several strong arms pressing him tightly against the rock wall. A stream of true energy flowed into his body. He was worried faces in front of him. For a moment, he couldn't tell whose arms were all. A warm current surged in his chest, tears rolled down and immediately condensed into ice.

When he just rushed out of the cliff, if anyone was hesitant, he would fall down at this moment.

"Idiot, why are you crying? You can't hold on anymore and don't know how to greet us?"

Li Fengxian said: "Li Zunfei, you were just in front of the youngest and don't know how to take care of him."

"Grandma, I can't hold on myself anymore, so I can't take care of it. If I hadn't reacted quickly, you would have been gone."

Li Zuofei looked unfair, and just now he rushed out, shouted "Monkey Fighting the Moon" in the air, and summoned all the brothers.

"Ha ha ha ha!"

A hearty laughter came from his head. Everyone looked up and saw Li Qingshan crossing his arms and standing horizontally on the rock wall. From beginning to end, he said proudly: "How is it, thanks to me who taught you this trick!"

Everyone glared at him.

Li Qingshan hooked up at them: "Come on, whoever reaches the top of the mountain first will be named the King of Heroes!"

They looked at each other, and in the blizzard, their faces became clear, and their long-lost friendship surged in their hearts.

Li Guinian said, "I'll come to the palace!" Li Fengxian said, "I'm with you, what a shitty king, I don't care about it!"

So they formed a new team, and several strongest men took turns to open the way, digging holes for climbing on the cold and hard rock walls. They no longer followed Li Qingshan's pace with all their might, but climbed straight to the top of the mountain.

Li Qingshan smiled and shook his head, jumped and shot towards the top of the mountain, sank into the wind and snow, disappearing.

As he disappeared, the wind and snow began to become smaller. All the princes and daughters believed that the violent and abnormal blizzard that had just been so violent and abnormal. Although they didn't know how he controlled this vast power of heaven and earth, they believed it so much and were still full of anger for it.

Perhaps in the hearts of all children, fathers are omnipotent, but most children will find that this is not the case when they grow up, but Li Qingshan still retains this feeling. No matter how friendly and casual he is, he is still like a mysterious mountain, standing in the sky from afar, only looking away, not approaching.
