The nine Demon Masters were all very mysterious. Each Demon Master was shrouded in a mythical aura.
Although Lin Feng had met other Demon Masters before, he did not know their names.
The Demon Master Li Xing he met today was the first Demon Master Lin Feng knew of.
…
"Li Xing! Li Xing! Li Xing! "
The old man muttered this name to himself, as if he was lamenting about something.
In the end, the old man nodded.
"Little brother, please stay in the mansion for a few days. After that, I will arrange for you to go to the sect to take the test."
"Thank you, sir!" Li Xing thanked the old man and bowed.
Under the old man's arrangements, Li Xing stayed in the mansion for the time being. As for Uncle Wang, he left the mansion.
He was in charge of bringing Li Xing here, and his mission was now complete.
"Why is mother acquainted with such a noble person? Why is such a noble person helping us? "
Li Xing lay on his bed, staring blankly at the ceiling.
There were too many questions in his heart, but no one could answer them for him. Li Xing planned to find an opportunity to ask the old master of the Liu Clan.
Perhaps he would be able to find out some information.
At night, the old man came to Li Xing's place. He smiled and asked, "Little brother, have you gotten used to living here?"
Li Xing replied, "I've gotten used to it. Thank you for your hospitality, sir. However, I have some questions in my heart. I wonder if you can answer them for me?"
The old man said, "Little brother, feel free to speak your mind. If I know, I will definitely tell you."
Li Xing asked, "Do you know this junior's mother?"
The old man sighed and said, "I do know her."
Li Xing then asked, "Do you know this junior's father?"
Li Xing didn't have any impression of his father, ever since he could remember.
As far as he could remember, he only had images of his mother. He did not have any memories of his father.
Li Xing had once asked about his father.
However, his mother had said that his father had been killed by a wild beast while out hunting.
After saying that, Li Xing saw his mother hiding in the room alone, crying very sadly.
Since then, Li Xing had never mentioned his father in front of his mother.
Li Xing didn't want his mother to cry again.
Later on, Li Xing secretly asked some people in the village about his father, but those people in the village were hesitant about this matter.
At this moment, Li Xing realized that something was wrong.
However, in the end, he was unable to get an answer.
Now that Li Xing had come to the Liu residence, he felt that Master Liu already knew about what had happened back then. He hoped that he could ask Master Liu what he wanted to know.
"Didn't your mother tell you anything about your father?" The old man asked.
"I did!" Li Xing said.
The old man continued asking, "What did your mother say?"
"Mother said that father died during a hunting trip! We couldn't even find his corpse! "Li Xing said.
The old man took a deep look at Li Xing. He patted Li Xing's shoulder and said, "Your father did die like this. Live well, stand out, and take good care of your mother!"
"I will!" Li Xing said firmly.
"Rest well for two days. The day after tomorrow, this old man will bring you to the sect!" The old man said and then left.
After returning to his residence, he opened a scroll. There was a picture of a man and a woman on the scroll.
The man was handsome and elegant, like an immortal.
Although the woman's clothes were ordinary, she was also beautiful and had the bearing of a peerless beauty.
The ancients said that golden phoenixes were born in the depths of the mountains.
The golden phoenixes here naturally didn't refer to the phoenixes, but to a peerless beauty.
It meant that peerless beauties often appeared in the depths of the mountains and rivers.
The woman in the scroll was Li Xing's mother.
"What happened in the past made me sigh endlessly. However, I'm just a mortal and can't say much. Otherwise, my entire family would suffer a great calamity. The only thing I can do is to send him to the sect to cultivate. His future fortune can only depend on himself!"
The old man muttered.
Two days later, the old man brought Li Xing to the sect.
This sect wasn't a very powerful one. It was just an ordinary sect with not many cultivators and not many experts.
However, in the eyes of mortals, even an ordinary person in a sect like this was like an immortal, unapproachable.
The old man brought Li Xing to this sect. It was naturally not easy to join the sect. One had to pass a test.
Anyone who passed the test could join the sect.
Many youths who wanted to join the sect gathered in front of the sect. The older ones were 15 or 16 years old, and the younger ones were only 5 or 6 years old.
After about seven days, more and more people gathered in front of the sect. Only then did three cultivators fly out from the depths of the sect.
The cultivator in the lead was wearing a Daoist robe. He had a sage-like demeanor, as if he was an immortal who had attained the Dao.
"There's a sequence to Dao Seeking, and there's a specialization in each field. The path of Dao Seeking doesn't care about the sequence of Dao Seeking. It only cares about one's comprehension. There are 3,000 Daos, and if you can achieve something in one of them, it's enough to benefit you for the rest of your life! If you want to join the Immortal Sect, you need to climb 108,000 stone steps! This test will test your patience, willpower, and perseverance. Only by reaching the peak can you pass. After passing the first test, you'll be qualified to take the talent test. Those who pass the test can become a disciple of the Immortal Sect! "
The Daoist waved the horsetail whisk in his hand gently. Suddenly, a stone step appeared behind the Daoist.
The stone step extended upwards, lingering in the clouds. No one knew where it ended.
108,000 stone steps. Many people's legs turned to jelly when they heard this.
"This time tomorrow is the deadline. Everyone can climb the stone steps now!"
The Daoist said.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh …"
Some youths with some cultivation couldn't wait to rush up the stone steps. They quickly climbed up the stone steps. Each of them was as light as a swallow, quickly climbing up.
"They're too impatient!"
The Daoist looked at the young cultivators who couldn't wait to show off their abilities and couldn't help but shake his head.
Li Xing also climbed up the stone steps. He had never cultivated before and was just an ordinary person.
In reality, he was almost 12 years old. It was already very late for him to start cultivating at this age.
This was because ordinary children would start cultivating at the age of 5 or 6. This was the most crucial time to build their own foundation.
