The sky is high and the clouds are clear, and the breeze is refreshing.

In this pleasant golden autumn month of September, Shushan ushered in the summit meeting that takes place once every ten years.

Looking over there, walking forward with high spirits and high spirits, is the team from Silver Sword Peak. They are composed of three humanoid creatures and a golden retriever. They are high-spirited and marching vigorously...

"Why are there so many people?" Liu Xiaoyu nervously tugged at the corner of Chu Liang's clothes from behind.

The little girl has never seen such a big scene since she went up the mountain, so she is inevitably a little timid.

In fact, not to mention that she had never seen it, Chu Liang had not seen it either, but he was still calm and said softly: "Just stand quietly. There are only a few people in our Yinjian Peak. If you don't come, Master will come soon."

How can I go up to the stage to watch the ceremony and I’m the only one left at the bottom?”

In the huge square of Tongtian Peak, disciples from various peaks in Shu Mountain lined up in dozens of teams under the leadership of their respective peak masters. Some teams had as many as a hundred people, and they were so majestic that they overwhelmed the surroundings.

Some teams only have three or two people... and rely on monsters to blend in to support the scene.

A high platform has been set up in front of the square, and all the senior officials of Shushan, led by the four major Zhenshan elders, are sitting on top. In addition to them, there are also guests from the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths and the court officials from Yudu City watching the ceremony.

After all, it is an important event inherited by Shushan for thousands of years. It is an old rule to come to watch the ceremony from all over the world. It not only gives Shushan face, but also takes this opportunity to see the quality of the new generation of Shushan. People sent by various immortal sects to watch the ceremony

Usually only those with certain status can represent the sect, and young people can also accompany them if they are interested.

Chu Liang looked far away and saw several familiar figures.

Standing on the other side of Tiangang Gate was a muscular man, naturally Yun Chaoxian who had told him he would come before. There seemed to be a woman beside him, whom Chu Liang did not recognize.

Yun Chaoxianzheng stood there waving his arms towards Chu Liang without any concern for his image, his well-developed arm muscles bulging like an enthusiastic orangutan.

It seems that the girl next to him must not be the one he likes... Chu Liang secretly cursed.

There is a white-haired girl in Sanjue Valley, and she is naturally Luo Yao.

In Yunque Temple, there is a bald man with vaguely visible teeth reflecting sunlight, which is undoubtedly Pu Shan.

These two old friends haven't seen each other for a while since the last time in Canglong Secret Realm, so it's a good time to get together this time.

On the Taiyin Sect side, there is a lonely Luo Xiaoyong. He has had a relationship before. As a person of this generation walking in the world, it is natural for him to do such things.

These were the few acquaintances Chu Liang glanced at. But he quickly looked away because everyone on the high platform in front stood up.

A figure floated down.

This is a middle-aged man in Tsing Yi who looks about forty years old. He has a jade face, long sideburns, and deep eyes. He looks quite handsome.

He was standing there, seemingly unsurprising, but the moment he appeared, he immediately became the center of everyone's attention, and the people around him even looked at him involuntarily.

Although most Shushan disciples do not know this person, judging from the respectful attitude of the four Zhenshan elders towards him, it is not difficult to guess his identity.

The contemporary headmaster of Shushan, Master Wen Yuan!

There are not many things within the sect that warrant the leader's personal appearance, and the Shushan Mountain Summit is certainly one of them.

Seeing that the crowd was slightly agitated by his appearance, Master Wen Yuan pressed his hands lightly, as if there was an invisible ripple of breeze passing by, and the huge square suddenly became quiet.

As soon as he opened his mouth, his clear voice spread throughout the thirty-six peaks of the distant mountains. The voice was not loud, but extremely clear.

"The heavens are full of energy, and my Taoist sun is prosperous!"

…

Master Wen Yuan's follow-up speech was very brief, nothing more than some official saying that Shushan is becoming more and more prosperous, and I believe that this generation of disciples can lead Shushan to become better and better.

The subsequent conference was presided over by the Dharma Protector Elder.

As the organizer of the Mountain God Festival, the guardian elder was the first to announce the rewards of the Mountain God Festival.

The reward for the first place is a set of Tianluo Five Elements Formation Diagram.

As soon as this reward was announced, there was an immediate sensation. Because the Mountain God Festival in previous years was a game, although the magical weapons rewarded were valuable, there were very few of this level.

In the world of immortality, there is an indispensable and important criterion for precious magic weapons or magical powers, and that is cross-border challenges.

Because the cross-border challenge is extremely difficult, those who can do it are considered powerful. Just like the Demon Suppressing Tower, which became the number one artifact, it was because of the battle to suppress the demon god across the border.

As for the Tianluo Five Elements Formation, it has the ability to challenge across borders below the seventh realm. The five Golden Core realms work together to promote it, and they have the strength to suppress the Five Elements realm. This is the reason why it is precious.

When Chu Liang heard about this reward, he was also excited. But when he thought that this reward was divided among the five of them, and that he would have to perform with this top team in the future... he felt that it was ordinary.

But even if there is no reward in this Mountain God Festival, his harvest is already big enough. The harvest of so many sword coins is still small. The most important thing is that through the opportunity of alchemy, he has been recognized by the Alchemy Elder. He has already worked with

Elder Dan Ding promised that after the Shushan Mountain Summit is over, he will devote more time and energy to the Dan Ding Hall to systematically learn the art of alchemy.

In fact, Chu Liang had no intention of becoming a full-time alchemist, but Elder Dan Ding was so sincere that he could not refuse. It would be good to learn a skill and find another way to go in the future. With this idea,

He still agreed to become the deacon disciple of Dandingtang.

The second place reward is a set of white jade sword formations, also activated by five people.

Jiang Yuebai's teammates are all her junior sisters from Biluofeng, so they are naturally very handy in using them.

The reward for third place is actually five sibling spiritual pets. Five spiritual beasts born from one litter have spiritual connections, and their combined fighting power is outstanding.

Zhao Zhizhu, who had auctioned clues to Chu Liang, was a little fat man. His smile was so wrinkled that it looked like a stuffed bun. Even if he sold these five spiritual pets for money, the sword coins he invested could be doubled several times.

This made those Shushan teammates who hesitated in the later stage and did not continue to snap the shot regret it.

After that, the protector elder announced the first session of the Shushan Mountain Summit.

"Tomorrow at this time, the Heavenly Stairway will be opened, and the Dao Heart Test will be conducted on the disciples of the various peaks. The top sixty-four disciples on the Heavenly Ladder Path can enter the arena competition. Please prepare well for the disciples of the various peaks."

Chu Liang can understand this preparatory process. The number of disciples participating in each summit ranges from hundreds to thousands. It would be too much to all go to the ring and be eliminated, so it is normal to have one round of auditions.

But what is this ladder to heaven?

…

"The Stairway to Heaven is just a road, you just keep going up." Emperor Daughter Feng said.

"Huh?" Chu Liang blinked.

After the opening ceremony, he originally wanted to ask his master, who once held a high position in the Shushan Mountain Summit, about his valuable experience. Unexpectedly, Emperor Nvfeng's answer was quite simple.

"The elders arrange completely different illusions every year. It doesn't make sense to tell you what I saw. But you just remember who is farthest and who has a higher ranking." Emperor Daughter Feng Dalala waved.

Waving his hands, "Anyway, it's a test of the school's Taoist heart. My Taoist heart is to hit whoever I see. No matter if it's true or not, I'll punch you first. If you hit me, you'll pass."

Chu Liang frowned suspiciously.

Will the Tao Heart Test carefully arranged by the elders really be as simple as Master said?

Is it possible that this is the so-called...stupid master in the legend?

When he walked out of Master's attic, he saw two people waiting for him on the hillside.

It was the girl who was with Yun Chaoxian.

The girl looked young, with her hair tied into a bun wrapped in a cloth. Standing next to Yun Chaoxian, she looked petite and short. She was wearing a neat blue and white ribbon dress, and her eyes were very big and sparkling.

She also carried a long weapon wrapped in cloth on her back, which must have been some kind of magic weapon handed down from ancient times.

"Brother Chu." Yun Chaoxian greeted warmly, "I'm here to cheer you on."

"Thank you, Brother Yun." Chu Liang thanked him and looked at the girl: "Who is this?"

Yun Chaoxian smiled heartily and said: "This is my junior sister Tang Shi, who is also the core disciple of our Tiangang Sect."

The four core disciples of Tiangang Sect, armed with swords, spears, swords and halberds.

The girl in front of me is actually a gunsmith?

Chu Liang looked at her in surprise, finding it difficult to associate her petite figure with a long gun.

Yun Chaoxian introduced Tang Shi again: "This is the Chu Liang I told you, the Shushan disciple who is slightly more intelligent than me."

There’s no need to add the last sentence... Chu Liang smiled sarcastically.

"Wow, that's amazing!" Tang Shi looked at Chu Liang, blinked his big eyes, and his voice was soft and waxy.

Okay.

This girl doesn't seem to be very bright either.

Chu Liang was about to entertain them when he saw a silver light flying over from the other side. It was Xiaoyu playing Frisbee with Big Head and Bai Ze.

A hissing sound.

A ball of golden wind then flew over violently.

Yun Chaoxian and Tang Shi were having trouble at the back of their minds. Chu Liang was about to tell them not to panic, but the reaction of these two martial arts masters was slightly faster than him and they had already responded.

I saw the two of them turned over and drew their weapons at the same time. Yun Chao was the first to hold the big halberd, his eyebrows raised and his eyes raised.

And Tang Shi instantly pulled out a Overlord Spear that was two ends taller than her body, and then her whole body suddenly straightened up, her whole body muscles bulged and filled her sleeves, and her whole body glowed with golden light! It was like King Kong was alive, bowing

He twisted his waist and shouted: "Where is the monster!"

Chu Liang's pupils shrank in shock at the rough voice, and he quickly shouted: "You are my spiritual pet from Silver Sword Peak, you two don't need to panic!"

Not only him, but also the Golden Retriever was so frightened by this roar that his golden fur quivered! He grabbed the Frisbee in one bite, moved his big head from side to side, and then step by step... quietly walked backwards.

"Oh, it turns out it's playing." Yun Chaoxian had seen the golden retriever before, and immediately put away the euphorbia, waved his hand and smiled.
Chapter completed!
