The Tao comes to all heavens: from the beginning of the Wilderness Period

Chapter 50
Directly north of the Blue Sky Mountain Range lies a huge stone tablet that is more than a thousand feet high and as smooth as a mirror.In front of this monument, there is a broad flat land with a radius of a hundred miles. At this moment, there are many people. Looking around, I am afraid there are not less than tens of thousands of people.

Cangji Sect recruits disciples every ten years, and today is the time for the mountain assessment.No matter what their origins are, even if they are from tribal forces outside Shangyang County, as long as they are early-stage cultivators of the Zi Mansion, they can come here to give it a try.

However, the Cangji Sect is, after all, a famous sect throughout the Great Xia Dynasty. It has an ancient heritage and possesses many top-notch Qi refining methods, magical powers, secret techniques, etc. If you want to successfully join the sect, even if you just become an ordinary Disciple, it is also extremely difficult for most Zifu monks.

Normally, Cangji Sect recruits hundreds of disciples for each examination, and sometimes less than a hundred.It is even rarer to be directly awarded the position of true disciple upon joining the sect. Generally, one needs to have the potential to become an Earth Immortal to obtain this honor.Most of the true disciples were actually promoted after they started practicing for many years.

As the assessment approaches, more and more Zifu monks gather in this square, and many of them have even arrived several days in advance.There were tens of thousands of practitioners gathered, many of whom brought their family members, spiritual beasts, servants, etc., but no one dared to make any noise here. They all waited honestly.

Finally, a few chime sounds were heard throughout the audience, and then a deacon from the sect stood up and shouted loudly: "The time has come, all Taoist friends who want to participate in the entrance examination, please be ready."

As soon as these words came out, everyone immediately fell silent and looked ahead attentively.At the same time, on the mountain peak in the south, there were several rays of light traveling in the air, falling like meteors and flying toward the square.As soon as the light dissipated, there were five Yuanshen Taoists standing above.

The man in the middle has a thin appearance, with a clear beard on his left and right lips and chin. He is Taoist Jingshan, one of the six elders of Cangji Hall.He loudly said to everyone: "The three entrance levels are the basic test, the actual combat assessment, and the final illusion inquiry..."

Among the many Zifu monks below, many have extraordinary backgrounds and have long been familiar with these processes, but they still listened very carefully, even some geniuses who thought highly of themselves.Let alone them, even if the elders of their respective tribes come here, they must bow respectfully in front of the powerful elders of the Cangji Sect. After all, they are immortals whose strength and status are comparable to those of other forces in Shangyang County.

Soon, Taoist Jingshan finished explaining the assessment matters.He reached out and pointed at the huge stone tablet in front of the square. The stone tablet was like ripples, and traces of light and shadow appeared. There seemed to be many streams of light circling and dancing inside. It was dazzling to see. At a glance, one could tell that it was some kind of Mysterious formation restrictions.

Then, under the guidance of some of the surrounding sect deacons, many Zifu monks in the square rushed into the air and poured into the formation channel like a tide.

The several Yuanshen Taoists above looked at this scene extremely calmly. In their long years of practice, they have witnessed too many entrance examinations.

……

An hour later, the entrance examination finally ended, and warships took off one after another, carrying the newly initiated disciples towards Cangji Hall on the main peak.

The Blue Sky Mountains are full of towering peaks that are as sharp as swords. Waterfalls rumble down from the mountains, splashing countless jade beads. There are cranes soaring and colorful butterflies flying. It is filled with a scene of vitality and all things competing.Many new disciples were deeply shocked after seeing such a beautiful scenery of the Immortal Family.

Even the children of some large tribes expressed their sincere feelings.The rare spiritual fruits, immortal birds and beasts in those mountain peaks are considered rare to them, and these are only on the periphery of the Cangji Sect.For a moment, all the disciples could not help but look forward to the scene in the core area of ​​the sect.

In one of the warships, Duanmu Yingzhuo was communicating with a slightly immature-looking young man.He is one of the gatekeepers for the actual combat assessment of the second of the three entry levels. At the same time, together with a dozen other true disciples, he is responsible for leading the new disciples to Cangji Hall to participate in the initiation ceremony.

There are more than 40 new disciples in the early stages of the Purple Mansion in this warship, but only the young man in front of him who was directly awarded the status of a true disciple is worthy of Duanmu Yingzhuo's attention.

"Ji Yun, you got the top three in the sect entrance examination this time and directly became a true disciple. You have done well. However, you must not slack off after entering the sect. Go to Daozang Hall as soon as possible to choose the Immortal Level Qi Refining Method, and strive to become Wanxiang Zhenren as soon as possible. . I believe that those old stubborns of your Ji clan will not treat you badly in terms of cultivation resources after getting the news." Duanmu Yingzhuo said slowly.

The immature boy Ji Yun said: "Thank you, uncle, for taking care of me. I will definitely practice well."

Duanmu Yingzhuo added: "After the initiation ceremony is over, I will take you to the cave of your master, Taoist Yuntu, in a few days, and ask him to personally guide you in your practice."

Ji Yun's eyes were firm and he nodded solemnly.

Although the Ji clan from which he was born is not as powerful as the Dongxuan Sect, Qingyuan Guan, Mo clan and other top powers in Shangyang County, it still has an immortal ancestor sitting in charge.And his father became a true disciple of the Cangji Sect, and became a disciple of Taoist Yun Tu, the elder of the palace. He was the most promising prodigy in the tribe in the past few hundred years to become a return to the void. Unfortunately, he accidentally died during an adventure a few years ago. Death.

"I will definitely become an immortal in the future and do what my father failed to do." Ji Yun thought to himself.

Even if the true disciples of Cangji Sect are all extremely talented, the possibility of them successfully cultivating to return to the void world is very small.After all, cultivation is a path that defies heaven. God will send down various tests, causing many geniuses to perish along the way.Even reincarnated immortals are likely to perish in the Wanxiang stage or the Yuanshen Taoist stage, and they may not be able to achieve the achievements of their previous lives.

……

Duanmu Yingzhuo is considered the best among the true disciples of Cangji Sect. His speed in maneuvering the warship is naturally unmatched by others, and he soon arrived in front of the main peak of the Blue Sky Mountain Range.

After all, this is the important place of the sect. To show his solemnity, Duanmu Yingzhuo put away the warship from a distance, and then flew to Cangji Hall with dozens of disciples, including Ji Yun.

Not long after, everyone saw a magnificent palace in the distance that looked like a fairy palace.It was the first time for many disciples to see such a magnificent building, so they all took a deep breath and became more respectful and cautious.

After a while, they finally reached the top of the mountain, and in front of them was a crystal clear pond.The green lotuses here are beautiful, the white lotus roots are like jade, and there are mushrooms and grass all around. The scenery is quiet and quiet, which makes the grand hall colorful.

In front of Cangji Hall, there were already several figures waiting there.These people are all newly promoted true disciples in the past ten years, and they will also participate in this grand ceremony. Except for one disciple who has practiced the Nine Heavens of Chiming and reached the perfection level of Zifu, the others are all Wanxiang Zhenren.

"I've met senior brother." The new true disciples all saluted Duanmu Yingzhuo politely.

"Yes." Duanmu Yingzhuo responded calmly, "The entrance examination has ended. Several elders on duty will come over later. All juniors, please follow me into the palace."

At this moment, a clear light suddenly flew from a distance, as if jumping through the void. After a few flashes in the sky, it came to the crowd.He was dressed in a black robe, with a clear appearance and a high-spirited look between his brows and eyes, making him look extraordinary.

Duanmu Yingzhuo's expression became slightly solemn, he took a step forward, cupped his hands and said: "Junior brother Zhang, we meet again." Zhang Heng looked at the dozens of early Zifu disciples following him, felt relieved, and said: " It turns out that Senior Brother Yingzhuo also has a mission in this entrance examination."

As far as he knew, in the past entrance examinations, some true disciples would take the initiative to apply to become gatekeepers in the second actual combat assessment in order to earn merit points.However, as Duanmu Yingzhuo was a famous figure among the true disciples, he would not do such a thing for a mere ten or twenty merit points.

Although the other new true disciples on the field have never met Zhang Heng, they have heard some of his deeds. Knowing that although this person has only been in the profession for two years, he can already sit down and talk with the top true disciples, so they all greet him. Come up and greet him.

After a while of greetings, Zhang Hengcai and Duanmu Yingzhuo stepped into the Cangji Hall, followed by many other disciples who walked in with excitement and apprehension.The interior of this hall is very spacious. When the new disciples came here for the first time, they all seemed very reserved, while Zhang Heng and other true disciples chatted casually.

Duanmu Yingzhuo looked at Zhang Heng carefully for a while while talking, and he was particularly surprised. He felt that there seemed to be a majestic power hidden in the other man, which had undergone earth-shaking changes from what he had seen at Dongyuan Tower two years ago. .

"Master once mentioned that Junior Brother Zhang was accepted as a disciple by an immortal in the sect. I don't know which senior he was." Duanmu Yingzhuo secretly said.

Most of the true disciples of the Cangji Sect rarely have the opportunity to meet the immortals who cultivated in the Qing Dynasty on Xuanhe Peak. Even Duanmu Yingzhuo has only seen a few immortals after decades of entry.He doesn't even know how many Earth Immortals and Loose Immortals there are in the sect now. This is a top-secret matter, and I'm afraid some Yuanshen Taoists who have been practicing for a short time may not be able to tell clearly.

As time passed, other new disciples came to the temple one after another, and each found a place to wait.In addition, many true disciples also came. They were not the protagonists of this ceremony, they just came to watch the ceremony.

"Under normal circumstances, it would be difficult for so many true disciples to come to Cangji Hall to watch the ceremony." Zhang Heng looked at Master Su Yi, Master Fei Lang and others in the corner, and thought to himself: "If the battle on Dao Peak had not begun, These top true disciples may not return to the sect."

The initiation ceremony takes place once every ten years, and usually only a few elders on duty preside over it. It is not too solemn, and all the true disciples are not forced to come to Cangji Hall to observe the ceremony.But most of the time, as long as they stay in the sect and have nothing important to do, many true disciples will come and take a look out of curiosity.

"The elders are here." Someone suddenly spoke.

Immediately, some of the true disciples in the hall who were still chatting casually looked serious, and the hundreds of new ordinary disciples were even more silent, and they all turned their heads to look outside the hall.

"Huh? All six elders on duty are here. It seems that it is because there are several disciples who have been directly taught the true teachings in this entrance examination."

Zhang Heng couldn't help but look solemnly at the six Yuanshen Taoists who came here. This kind of formation was rarely seen in previous initiation ceremonies.As far as he knew, the initiation ceremony ten years ago was only hosted by two elders on duty.

The six elders on duty stood on the jade platform in front of the hall, overlooking the crowd of Wanxiang Zhenren and Zifu monks in the hall.

Each of them is the top Yuanshen Taoist in Cangji Sect. Their realm is by no means as simple as just comprehending a Tao. Their strength is probably stronger than some immortals in the outside world.The six people standing together immediately brought great mental pressure to the new disciples.

"Everyone." Taoist Yuntu waved the dust in his hand and spoke loudly, echoing in the entire hall, "This is the first time for most of you to stand here. From today on, you are a member of the Cangji Sect. Members must abide by the rules of the sect and are not allowed to kill each other in the same sect.”

In fact, in the eyes of many Yuanshen Taoists and immortals in the sect, only a handful of true disciples can be called disciples of the Cangji Sect.However, Taoist Master Yuntu doesn't think so. In his view, even a disciple with mediocre qualifications may not be unable to achieve great achievements as long as his Taoist heart is firm.

After hundreds of ordinary disciples each made a blood oath of heaven, they headed to the outskirts of the Blue Sky Mountains under the leadership of the sect's deacons.The true disciples did not disperse, because the six elders on duty still had some things to formally announce to them.

"What? Senior Brother Xuan Yu has already broken through to become a Primordial Spirit Taoist. In five years, the new chief disciple will be decided on Lundao Peak?"

"This doesn't seem to have much to do with us, but when the time comes we can go over and watch the battle to see how far behind we are compared to the top brothers and sisters."

"Go together."

Many true disciples who had not known the inside story were suddenly excited when they heard the news, and started communicating secretly.

……

After the initiation ceremony, the name of "Master Taiheng" also spread among the true disciples. After all, this is a figure that even several of the top true disciples are full of praise for.

Many true disciples who had previously been in retreat or traveled abroad paid attention to Zhang Heng, a highly qualified junior disciple, for the first time.Including Ji Yun, several new true disciples all admired Senior Brother Taiheng who was only slightly older than them.

Soon the half-moon scene passed again.

"If I try to break into the ninth floor of Dongyuan Tower now, I should be quite confident that I can pass. However, I am still far from leaving my name on the stone tablet in that cave."

Zhang Heng was thinking in the quiet room.Although his Qi Lianqiu cultivation is still at the early stage of Wanxiang, he has recently gained a lot from studying the secret knowledge taught by Immortal Baiwei, and he feels that he has made great progress compared to when he first broke through.

"Other Wanxiang masters who practice the Immortal Level Qi Refining Method, from the early stage of Wanxiang practice to the perfection of Wanxiang, the amount of Yuan liquid needed to be refined ranges from several thousand kilograms to as much as ten or twenty thousand kilograms. But ten thousand kilograms of Yuan liquid, It’s not enough for me to break through to the middle stage of Vientiane.”

"The reward on the ninth floor of Dongyuan Tower is only [-] merit points, which is equivalent to [-] kilograms of Yuan liquid. This is just a drop in the bucket for me. Do I have to go to Master Bai Wei to ask for it?"

Zhang Heng shook his head secretly, not to mention that Immortal Baiwei had asked him not to disturb him again in a short period of time. Even if this was not the case, he would not have said this.
