A high mountain towers into the clouds in the plain. The mountain is like a sword, reaching straight to the ninth level of the sky, as if it wants to pierce the entire sky!
In a radius of thousands of miles, there is only this one high mountain!
The name of this mountain is ‘Gu’, which is where the Guiwu Sword Sect, one of the three sects and four sects, is located!
Yu Xian and others came to the foot of Jian Mountain and looked up at the sky. Their necks were sore from looking at it, and they didn't even see where the top of the lonely mountain was.
"As expected of the Guiwu Sword Sect..."
Qin Yi also expressed admiration. She looked at Yu Xian and said, "Husband, what kind of scenery do you think the top of this solitary mountain is like?"
"Ahem."
Yu Xian coughed twice.
All around were monks who were like them and wanted to join the Wujian Sect. Everyone's cultivation level was above the level of Establishment. They were around the Ningdan level, and there were hundreds of them.
This call of husband made Yu Xian a little embarrassed: "If there is a chance, can we go up and have a look?"
He didn't want to know what the scenery was like at the top of this solitary peak. He just wanted to be a salted fish here and wait for his fellow villagers or Luo Lingchuan to come over.
"Okay!" Qin Yi replied with a smile on his face.
"Want to go to the top of the lonely mountain? It depends on your chance."
An old sound floated from the mountain.
I saw a figure stepping on the flying sword, flying towards here quickly, and finally hanging above everyone's heads.
This old man had a cultivation level of Jindan. He was wearing a purple Taoist robe with sword patterns embroidered on the cuffs and front of his clothes. He was followed by several young disciples, all of whom had cultivation levels around Ningdan.
As expected of the Guiwu Sword Sect.
The monks in charge of recruiting students all have golden elixir cultivation. If placed in some small sects, they would probably be able to serve as elders.
"Fellow Taoists, veteran Taoist Zhang Tianrun is responsible for returning to Wujian Sect and accepting disciples this time."
The old man said this, but he kept standing on the flying sword and had no intention of coming down.
Being humble in words does not mean being humble in attitude.
After hearing this, everyone bowed their hands and saluted him, with a flattering smile on their faces.
"I won't say any more polite words."
"You have all cultivated on the basis of building the foundation, and you have more or less inheritance in your body. Now you have come to our sect for some reason. Let me ask the old Taoist first, and please answer it with your heart.
.”
"First……"
The old Taoist's eyes swept over everyone: "Please stand on the right side if you have a sect inheritance. Please stand on the left side if you have a family inheritance. If you have a chance, please stand on one side in front of me."
Soon, the crowd was divided into three columns.
Yu Xian and others naturally stood on the left side.
The left side is occupied by nearly 70%, the right side is occupied by about 30%, but there is no one in the column standing in front of Lao Dao.
Also, this foundation building is difficult. How many casual cultivators in the world have the opportunity to cultivate to the realm of foundation building?
"second……"
The old Taoist first looked at the people standing on the right side: "If any of you fellow Taoists have a sect whose inheritance has been destroyed, or if your sect's cultivation is higher than the Golden Pill, you can go to the left."
Half of the three people came over.
There's half left.
"third."
The old Taoist looked at the rest of the people standing on the right: "The rest of you, if there are people from the Immortal Mansion, you can also go to the left."
More than half of the people moved again.
Now there are only a few people standing on the right side.
The old Taoist's eyes when he looked at them changed obviously: "You are neither restricted in your development nor do you belong to my Immortal Mansion. Why do you abandon the sect and choose to join me and join the Wujian Sect?"
"I want to learn to sword!"
A young man shouted loudly: "Avenge my master!"
"Your master?"
"He was framed by the sect and his life was shattered."
"good!"
The old man's eyes suddenly lit up: "I belong to the Wujian Sect and uphold the principle of killing traitors with the sword! Go to the left!"
"Thank you, senior!" The young man thanked him and walked into the crowd on the left.
"Senior, I also want to learn swordsmanship!"
Another young man stood up and shouted: "That sect can't teach me swordsmanship, so..."
"Please come back."
The old man said two words calmly: "The immortal ways are endless, and all the ways can be mastered by the sword. Since you think your sect can't teach you, then we can't teach you either."
"But……"
"Please come back."
Before the young man could finish speaking, the old man uttered two words again: "I don't want me to say it a third time."
The young man shook his head and finally walked away in dejection.
The old man continued to ask the next question.
Soon, the hundreds of people standing on the right side were all questioned. In the end, including the young man, only twenty-three people entered the Immortal Sect.
As for the remaining monks... they were all packed up and sent back home.
"Okay everyone."
The old man looked at the people standing on the right again: "This is the end of the preliminary screening. Since you are here and I belong to the Wujian Sect, you must know that the most famous thing about our sect is the sword, and what I practice is also the sword."
"If you don't have the talent for swordsmanship, then you shouldn't join in the fun."
"As for talent, it's pretty simple."
The old man raised his hand and pointed at the lonely peak not far ahead: "This peak is called 'Gu'. It is ninety-nine thousand ninety-nine feet, nine feet, nine inches and nine minutes high. If you can climb a thousand feet, you can
It can be considered as a figure of swordsmanship, and it can be considered as reaching the threshold of our sect."
"Fellow Taoists, the old Taoist is waiting for you on the mountain!"
"Remember, you only have one hour."
After saying that, the old Taoist headed towards Gufeng with his sword, and stopped about Qianzhang, as if he was really waiting for them.
"Fellow Taoists, please don't forget that you must not fly in the air on this journey, otherwise the Taoist will not be responsible for anything that happens."
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone rushed out!
Thousand-foot peak, if converted, is more than 3,000 meters.
One hour.
This is the time left by the old Taoist. It stands to reason that any immortal cultivator can climb to the thousand-foot peak within this time, even monks in the foundation-building stage are no exception.
But the premise is...this mountain is an ordinary mountain.
God knows what’s on this solitary peak, so it’s best to be prepared in advance!
"Let's go."
Yu Xian replied and rushed forward with the three people beside him.
Everyone came all the way to the foot of the lonely peak, and there was no problem just starting to climb.
But as the height continued to rise, some people could no longer hold on.
Everyone else is fine, only Hu You...
He had only climbed about a thousand meters, and he was out of breath from exhaustion, as if he might faint at any time.
"I...I can't do it anymore."
Hu You looked at Yu Xian: "Brother, it seems that my swordsmanship qualifications are not enough to get started. How about you go up first?"
This guy’s true cultivation level is the Nascent Soul realm!
He can't actually walk?
It seems that climbing the lonely peak is a test of qualifications, not realm. If the qualifications of swordsmanship are not enough, it will be difficult to advance even to the Nascent Soul realm.
But why didn't I react at all?
Could it be that my swordsmanship talent is very high?
Sensing Yu Xian's thoughts, Black Cat directly poured a basin of cold water on him in his mind!
"Don't think about it. You don't even think about the origin of the sword in your mind. It's just a restriction. Can it still stop you?"
"Is this okay?"
Yu Xian was stunned for a moment: "So my swordsmanship qualifications..."
"Without inheritance, he might even be inferior to Hu You. With the blessing of inheritance, he would be second only to the Demon Lord back then."
"That's okay too!"
Yu Xian came back to his senses and looked at Hu You, whose legs were trembling next to him: "Brother, hold on, we'll be there soon!!"
He comforted Hu You and at the same time gave the Ten Thousand Prisons Thunder Dragon a look.
Although Yu Xian didn't know what Wanji Leilong's swordsmanship qualifications were, he knew one thing...it was Mahayana!
Can this small peak be suppressed?
"Xiao Hu, keep on holding on."
Wan Yu Lei Long received Yu Xian's eyes, then took a step forward, raised his hand and patted Hu You's back.
moment!
Hu You felt relaxed all over. Not to mention just climbing Qianzhang Mountain, even climbing to the top was not a problem!
But he still showed a tough look on his face and gritted his teeth and said one word: "Okay! In order to live up to your expectations, I...I will climb up even if I die!"
Yu Xian:(?_?)?
This acting skill is almost catching up with mine.
Hu You had no problem, so everyone climbed all the way up and soon arrived at the thousand-foot position where the old Taoist was.
In order to ensure that he was not conspicuous, Yu Xian also deliberately slowed down his speed. The last 100 meters seemed extremely strenuous, but he still climbed up.
Qin Yi, who was next to him, had always been able to do it with ease, but still waited for him to join him. He waited until the deadline was about a quarter of an hour before he could climb to the designated position.
"call……"
Yu Xian let out a long sigh of relief: "We're finally here."
"yes."
Hu You sat down directly on the ground, looking a little more tired than Yu Xian: "Brother, I did it!"
"I really did it!"
Yu Xian actually didn't want to take part in this role, and thought to himself, how come you can act better than me.
But in order to maintain his character, he still had no choice but to go up and gently pat Hu You on the shoulder.
"You brothers have such a good relationship."
Qin Yi replied from the side and could only watch silently.
Along the way, except for occasionally chatting with her, her husband spent most of the time talking to his brothers and paid little attention to her.
But thinking about it, the two of them had only known each other for a short time, so maybe he was still not used to it.
It's okay, it's just time.
As immortal cultivators, what they lack most is time, and that is to slowly cultivate their feelings.
Yu Xian also noticed something was wrong, but couldn't say much.
Although he needs Yun Xiu's identity, he doesn't bother to deceive a little girl's feelings.
A quarter of an hour passed.
The last few people also climbed to the thousand-foot peak.
I just don’t know why, but the last monk to reach the peak is a little strange.
His eyes kept looking at Yu Xian, not knowing what he was looking at.
Yu Xian didn't care about this, he just thought he was jealous of him.
There is no way, Qin Yi's appearance is considered to be excellent among immortal cultivators, so it is normal for him to attract one or two envious, jealous and hateful male cultivators.
"Time's up."
The old Taoist uttered three words lightly and looked at the many monks in front of him: "Congratulations to all fellow Taoists for passing the first level. In terms of qualifications, you are already qualified to join the My Return Sword Sect."
"But this next level is also extremely important."
The old Taoist's eyes swept over everyone, as sharp as a sword: "This level is called asking the heart."
"Fellow Taoists also know that the Immortal Palace and the Demon Palace are currently at war, and those who join the sect naturally need to be strictly scrutinized to prevent traitors from sneaking in."
"This question of asking one's mind is very simple. Later I will ask the Patriarch to cast his sword shadow. As long as you have a clear conscience, you can pass under the sword shadow. If anyone has second thoughts..."
A meaningful smile appeared on the corner of the old Taoist's mouth: "Jian Ying, you will show no mercy."
The Ten Thousand Prisons Thunder Dragon naturally had no reaction after hearing this. After all, as a Mahayana realm, it was not afraid of sword shadows at all, let alone that the other party would see through its thoughts.
As for Hu You...
He was also prepared.
There is so much news in Tianming Tower, and I don’t know how much of it is delivered through the "Erwu Zai" method. There are many countermeasures to this method of asking people's hearts, and they can be used with ease.
But right now!
The monk who had been staring at Yu Xian before suddenly took a step forward and raised his hand to put on his shoulder!
Soon after, the Thunder Dragon of Ten Thousand Prisons had already reacted and was ready to take action at any time.
Yu Xian also noticed that something was wrong, but did not resist. Instead, he gave Wan Yu Thunder Dragon a look to signal him not to move.
"Brother Yun, long time no see!"
The man called Yun Xiu's name, and then a message came: "I know you are not Yun Xiu, help me pass the sword shadow!"
Um?
This guy... isn't even included in the records of the jade slips!
Yu Xian frowned, raised his hand and threw Luck Peeping away!
It doesn’t matter if you don’t see it, just show it to him and he will be stunned!
