Chapter 23 Seeking progress while maintaining stability
The next half month passed very peacefully.
Ling Tian spent most of his time meditating in his stone house. He would only go to the cafeteria to help and eat during the three meals.
Because they had the opportunity to enter the Inner Sect Bipolar Tower to practice, all the outer disciples of the Blue Maple Sect who were in the later stage of gathering spirits have been cultivating hard these days, and no one will provoke Ling Tian again.
In addition, Ling Tian is now in the late stage of gathering spirits and is considered a master of the outer sect. Naturally, the outer disciples below the late stage of gathering spirits will not easily provoke him.
Junior sister Yuyan must have been busy practicing, and she never came to Ling Tian again.
Attacking the foundation building stage is a top priority for any outer disciple, and even those with a background dare not slack off.
Half a month passed by in a flash.
In the morning, just after breakfast, all the outer sect disciples in the late Spirit Gathering Stage who were preparing to attack the Foundation Establishment Stage gathered halfway up the Blue Maple Mountain and stood in front of the inner gate of the Blue Maple Sect.
"Senior Brother Erniu, why are you here too?"
Seeing that Ling Tian was here, junior sister Yu Yan asked in confusion.
"Haha, I want to give it a try and see if I can take this opportunity to successfully build the foundation in one fell swoop." Ling Tian replied with a smile.
"ignorance"
Before Junior Sister Yuyan could speak, Master Meng Junxu, who was standing on the side, sneered. He looked at Ling Tian with disdain and said: "I just luckily broke through to the late stage of gathering spirits, and my confidence skyrocketed. I thought I could still do it."
Advance to the foundation building stage in one go? It’s really ridiculous.”
Among the outer sect, Wang Erniu was originally a receiving bag. Anyone could boss him around and bully him. Some elite disciples of the outer sect who had some background did not take him seriously at all. Meng Jun was one of them.
Meng Jun did not often bully Wang Erniu, but he liked to tease Wang Erniu a few words to show his superiority. Who makes Wang Erniu always get tired of being with junior sister Yuyan?
If it weren't for the fact that junior sister Yuyan was too close to Wang Erniu, Meng Jun wouldn't even bother to bully or laugh at Wang Erniu.
"Master Zhu, don't you know that everything is possible?"
Although Ling Tian had been suppressing his temper, Meng Jun's words aroused his anger, and he retorted: "What you think is impossible and what you can't do, you still have to say that others can't do it.
Come on, do you really think you are the best?"
When Junior Sister Yuyan heard this, she couldn't help but be stunned, and thought to herself: "What happened to Senior Brother Erniu today? How dare you talk back to Meng Jun?"
Seeing Ling Tian's expression that also contained a hint of contempt, not only Junior Sister Yuyan, but also Meng Jun and other outer disciples were all very surprised.
You know, Wang Erniu has been outside for many years, but he has never spoken back to anyone.
Could it be that this guy has just advanced to the late stage of Gathering Spirits and his temper has increased?
"Even if I'm not the best, at least I'm much better than you."
Meng Jun quickly came to his senses and said, "Think about it for yourself, how can you compare to me?"
"Haha, please take a look at yourself, Mr. Zhu. Apart from your family background, what else is better than me?" Ling Tian smiled and asked confidently.
"oh?"
Meng Jun became interested and said: "Even if you don't mention my family background, I am better than you in many ways. For example, I started later than you, I am younger than you, but I am higher in cultivation than you."
"Are you higher in cultivation than me?"
Ling Tian raised the corner of his mouth and said, "I really didn't see this."
"You are only in the late stage of Juling, but I am at the peak of the late stage of Juling, so I am naturally better than you," Meng Jun added.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Zhu, I think you've got it wrong. I'm also at the peak of the late stage of gathering spirits."
As Ling Tian spoke, he used all his strength to mobilize his energy. The energy fluctuations at the peak of the later stage of Gathering Spirits immediately swept across like a strong wind.
"Wow, this is really the pinnacle of the late stage of Gathering Spirits."
"I am also at the peak of the late stage of Juling, but his momentum is much stronger than mine."
Some of the outer disciples who were watching were amazed.
"You...how is that possible?"
Meng Jun was also very surprised. The powerful aura released by Ling Tian made him stunned.
"No wonder you want to go to the Bipolar Tower to practice. It turns out that you have reached the peak of the late Spirit Gathering Stage."
Junior sister Yu Yan was the first to come to her senses after being surprised. She glared at Ling Tian angrily and complained: "It's useless for me to think that you are my only friend in the outer sect. Your cultivation has improved so much."
, and you didn’t even tell me.”
While saying this, Junior Sister Yuyan pinched Ling Tian's waist hard as punishment.
But this scene seemed a bit ambiguous in the eyes of other outer disciples. It felt like junior sister Yu Yan was flirting with Wang Erniu, and she couldn't help but feel a little envious in her heart.
"snort"
Meng Jun's face darkened, and after pondering for a moment, he added: "I got started later than you, and you have the same cultivation level as me, so you have the nerve to show off."
"Master Zhu, you don't understand this. I have accumulated a lot of experience. The reason for my slow growth in cultivation before is that I have to lay a solid foundation. Once I want to advance, it will be a matter of course."
Ling Tian said plausibly: "We cannot blindly pursue speed in cultivation. We need stability. Striving for progress while maintaining stability is the right path."
"The right way is to make progress while maintaining stability."
Just as Meng Jun was about to retort, he heard a compliment coming from the other side of the gate.
The sound was very loud, and the breath was long, and it could echo in the mountains. It was obviously made by a master.
Everyone looked around and saw an old man of medium build with black and white beard and hair walking over with a smile on his face.
Even with a smile on his face, the old man gave people a rather majestic feeling.
Behind the old man, Uncle Lu, who usually sat in the outer law enforcement hall, followed with great respect.
"Meet the head master"
Many outer disciples bowed in unison.
The people standing here are all disciples who have been practicing in the outer sect of the Blue Maple Sect for many years. Over the years, they have met the leader Dou Yunzi. After all, as the leader of the Blue Maple Sect, Dou Yunzi has to come occasionally.
Check out the outer door.
"It is really valuable to be able to learn to be restrained at such a young age, and to know how to work slowly and steadily and not to rush forward in a hurry."
Dou Yunzi stood in front of the gate and said loudly: "Everyone says that cultivation is like sailing against the current. If you don't advance, you will retreat. Therefore, cultivation requires hard work, steady improvement, and no slacking off; but sometimes, cultivation will be like going with the current.
While sailing, or even going down a rapid, you have the opportunity to rapidly improve your cultivation. However, you need to be more steady at this time, because there is most likely a rock in front of you waiting for you to hit it, and you will be smashed to pieces."
"Thank you, Master, for your guidance."
When Dou Yunzi stopped talking, all the outer disciples bowed and thanked him.
As a result, Meng Jun was naturally even more angry. He was originally mocking Wang Erniu, but what he never expected was that the usually honest and honest Wang Erniu would dare to talk back. He also did not expect that Wang Erniu's words,
It actually provoked a burst of praise from the head master, Dou Yunzi.
Looking at the high spirits of the nearly a hundred outer disciples who were preparing to enter the Foundation Establishment Stage, Dou Yunzi nodded with satisfaction, and then waved his hand to create a ray of glow.
The glow rose in the wind, and in a moment, it turned into a giant blanket.
The giant carpet was more than a hundred feet long and wide, half a foot thick, covering the sky and the sun, shaking slightly, and emitting bursts of spiritual light.
"fall"
Dou Yunzi shouted softly, and the giant blanket that was originally suspended in the air fell down, but it did not fall to the ground, but stopped one foot above the ground.
"Come up, everyone."
Dou Yunzi said to a group of outer disciples.
Everyone did not hesitate and jumped up one after another, landing firmly on the giant carpet.
The giant carpet trembled slightly, its surface resembled water waves, and the outer disciples standing on it undulated with the waves.
After everyone jumped onto the giant carpet, Dou Yunzi also flew up and stood at the end of the giant carpet facing the mountain gate.
"rise"
Dou Yunzi shouted again, and the giant carpet rose up in response, slowly rising into the air, and released a circle of spiritual light, covering everyone in it, and then accelerated towards the top of the mountain.
Obviously, this giant blanket is a flying magic weapon of Dou Yunzi. It has a certain defensive power, and its specific grade is unknown.
"In the future, I will also get a magic weapon like this, fly over thousands of mountains and rivers, and travel throughout the entire Wei Kingdom."
Standing on the giant carpet, everyone did not dare to say anything, but junior sister Yuyan didn't seem to have too many scruples. She stood next to Ling Tian and said full of longing.
At this moment, little junior sister Yu Yan has her arms spread wide, her body is slim and graceful, and her beautiful face is full of hope, but even more delicate. Wearing a white dress, she is like a lily in bud.
"Haha, there will be such a day." Ling Tian said with a smile.
Meng Jun, who was on the side, looked at Ling Tian angrily. The woman he admired was actually talking and laughing with that bumpkin. If he weren't on the giant carpet at this moment, there would be the master master Dou Yunzi in front of him.
, he might not be able to help but rush over, slap Ling Tian several loud times, and step on him hard.
It was just a tea time when the giant blanket penetrated the clouds and landed on the top of Lanfeng Mountain.
Not only Ling Tian, but almost all the outer disciples of the Blue Maple Sect present came to the top of the Blue Maple Mountain for the first time.
Standing on the top of the mountain and looking far into the distance, you can see countless peaks piercing the clouds. However, the peaks that can be seen are shorter than Lanfeng Mountain, giving everyone a feeling of seeing all the small mountains at a glance.
There was no reason in my heart to have the pride that was already at its peak and looked down upon the world.
The top of Lanfeng Mountain is a relatively flat square, and the ground is paved with large bluestone slabs.
In the center of the square, a three-story iron tower stands.
Although the iron tower only has three floors, it is no less than 20 feet high, and the tower base is no less than 50 feet vertically and horizontally. The entire tower seems to be made of black iron, giving people a heavy and simple feeling. It is an extremely majestic building.
Around the iron tower, there are still six large iron pillars standing. Each one is as tall as the iron tower, but only about ten feet in diameter. The surface is engraved with complex and mysterious runes, and at this moment, the Xuan lines are not there anymore.
There are mysterious waves flowing.
"follow me."
Dou Yunzi put away his giant carpet magic weapon and walked towards the big iron tower.
