The radius of five hundred miles around the Grand Cloud Mountain couldn't be said to be big, but the mountain terrain was continuous and complex. In particular, the spiritual energy along the Feng Shui line changed rapidly, which converged and surged in the mountains, making the mountain environment even more changeable. When flying from the sky, perhaps the Grand Cloud Mountain couldn't be considered as vast, but when walking on the ground, in ten days or half a month, one could only walk a corner of the mountain.
Wang Lu has been walking on the Grand Cloud Mountain for a whole week, but he still hasn't walked through the surrounding several peaks. On one hand, the landlord of this place, Beast Master School, has strengthened their vigilance. The number of patrolling disciples and spirit beasts were far more than usual, which brought a lot of obstacles to Wang Lu's hiking plan. On the other hand, the stupid dog that led the way also got into trouble. It often went around in circles, leading Wang Lu for half a day before it innocently whimpered and said that it was lost.
Wang Lu walked on the Grand Cloud Mountain in order to borrow the quasi-immortal beast Quan Zouhua's power of resonance to find the immortal beast with the moon flavor ahead of the Beast Master School. Unfortunately, after a week, he found out that this stupid dog was really useless.
Of course, the stupid dog has its own explanation for this.
"Resonance should be useful. In the moonless night, I can feel the traces of its existence on the mountain, and I can even lock its approximate position. However, the other side clearly doesn't want to see us, deliberately hiding... The resonance is weak, so even if it deliberately disguises itself, I can't do anything about it."
With the stupid dog's level of intelligence, to organize such a well-organized speech, it could be seen that it was really anxious and crazy. Therefore, although Wang Lu was helpless, he could only throw the marinated bone from his mustard seed bag to it, letting it gnaw to its heart's content.
After a week of climbing the mountain, this was the result. Wang Lu couldn't help but frown, inwardly thinking about how to proceed to the next step.
As for the other two people, they didn't seem to have any pressure. Liu Li was naive and only longed for the beautiful scenery of the mountain. In any case, along the way, Wang Lu entertained her with good food and drinks, so she had no worries and had a particularly carefree time. As for the immortal beast and Beast Master School, obviously, she didn't care.
However, the other companion seemed intriguing. In the past few days, Senior Xiao Qi and Liu Li had a very pleasant conversation. Her Buddhist name was Gluttonous Dog Meat Master, and obviously, she had quite a bit of understanding about food. Needless to say, the characteristics of Liu Li were also needless to say. In the past few days, the two of them wished they could become sworn sisters. When they talked about delicacies from all over the world, even the genius Wang Lu couldn't get a word in. Although he had read a lot of books, he hadn't tasted many delicacies in person, so he couldn't participate in the conversation between the two professionals.
However, Xiao Qi's activity was limited to this. In addition to eating, drinking, and having fun, he didn't talk about anything else. When he didn't talk to Liu Li, he just silently followed behind Wang Lu, following Quan Zouhua around in circles, seemingly indifferent.
Therefore, Wang Lu asked, "Qiniang, aren't you anxious?"
"What's the hurry?" Xiao Qi asked. "I'm not interested in that immortal beast anyway."
Wang Lu asked, "You and the Beast Master School have an irreconcilable enmity of killing your father?"
Xiao Qi spat, "You're the one who has an enmity of killing my father! Originally, I really don't like the Beast Master School. However, in the past few days, my interest in the Beast Master School has faded. If I can destroy this Division, then I'll destroy it. If not, then it doesn't matter. I'm not the same as you, Master and disciple, so I don't necessarily have to do things with results. The most important thing for people to live is to be happy … How about I cook a bowl of noodles for you to eat? "
Wang Lu snappily said, "Even if you cook a bowl of noodles for me to eat, I won't be happy … Alas, there's no one under me, I have to do everything by myself!"
Xiao Qi, on the other hand, found it funny. "Who forced you to do things? You and the Beast Master School don't have any enmity of killing your father or snatching your wife. Even if the scene in the valley that day, as well as the wrongdoing of some of their Elders, made you two have enmity, it's not that you can't let it go, so why are you so persistent? "
Wang Lu, on the other hand, seriously answered this question. "Since I've decided to do it, then I'll try my best to do it. Professional adventurers don't have the habit of giving up halfway."
"Oh, this explanation makes sense." Xiao Qi very simply accepted Wang Lu's explanation and nodded. "You two are indeed worthy to be called master and disciple, your style of doing things is exactly the same. But this is strange, your master has no choice but to work hard. She has already become used to working hard. Your aptitude and opportunities are far better than your master's, is it necessary to work so hard? "
The two of them were just casually chatting, but upon hearing Xiao Qi's words, Wang Lu's interest was immediately piqued.
"My master has no choice? I'd like to hear the details. "
Xiao Qi was surprised. "You're her disciple, didn't she tell you about her matters?" Then he immediately felt relieved. "That's true, with her temperament, she definitely wouldn't tell you about those things."
Wang Lu immediately said, "So it's up to you, Qiniang, to uncover her dark history."
Seeing that Wang Lu's eyes were sparkling, Xiao Qi couldn't help but find it funny. "Usually, you always talk bad about your master, but now you put on the face of a fan … Actually, it's not a big deal. I don't know much about the specific things. After all, she and I are just fair-weather friends. It's just that we've known each other for a long time, so I know more. In fact, you've been cultivating with her for so many years, so you should've already seen the clues. "
His words were like a mountain of mist, but Wang Lu actually understood and nodded.
"Actually, I can see the problem from your cultivation method. Look at Liu Li beside you. She cultivates the ancient inheritance of Brilliant Sword Heart, which pays particular attention to the unity of man and nature. Therefore, when she walks, sits, or lies down, her whole person seems to be integrated with the environment. Look at her walk, the distance of each step is different, but all of them fit the needs of the environment. The surrounding spiritual energy brushes past her body and comes out from her back, completely unaffected. However, when she really wants to move, the surrounding spiritual energy within a kilometer radius will move according to her heart … Of course, this is still far from the highest level of Brilliant Sword Heart, but its nature has already manifested. As for you, when you walk, the distance of each step is exactly the same. Except for when you meditate, when your whole body is sealed, the surrounding spiritual energy can't penetrate even the slightest bit, and the magical power within your body won't flow out … What do you think this means? "
Although Xiao Qi didn't clearly say the answer, how could he not understand it?
"Brilliant Sword Heart is an ancient inheritance. In ancient times, the surrounding spiritual energy was rich, and opportunities were everywhere. At that time, the cultivators were also high-spirited. As long as their aptitude wasn't too bad, they would advance triumphantly on the road of Immortal Cultivation. After all, the environment was too good. Therefore, the cultivation method that was born at that time often emphasized the integration with the environment and more use of the environment. As for this Non-Phase Method … it's clearly a cultivation method that was born in a barren land. When Master invented this thing, she must've been under a lot of pressure. "
If not, how could ten years ago, when he first passed this method to her, he solemnly said that the most important thing in Immortal Cultivation was to be hard enough!
"However, I can't guess what it is exactly."
As a result, Xiao Qi shrugged his shoulders. "You can't guess? There are so many obvious clues, how could you not guess? Twenty years ago, when I went on experiential learning with your Master, even a simple and honest person like me could see a lot of things, how could you not see it? Although your Lingjian School has always been weak among the Five Uniques of the Wanxian League, at least two hundred years ago, the number of people in your school can't be considered to have withered. More than one hundred years ago, it was known as the golden generation in your school. More than a hundred talented Immortal Cultivation disciples shone brightly like the stars in the sky. That period of history might not be mentioned in your Spirit Sword Mountain, but most of the elders in the Immortal Cultivation World in the Nine Regions know about it. "
However, Wang Lu hadn't heard much about this. He had been cultivating for ten years, but he didn't go down the mountain for experiential learning for a long time. Thus, he didn't know about the concept of the golden generation.
However, at this time, he could roughly guess the follow-up.
That golden generation was now only left with ten people from the Heavenly Sword Hall. Obviously, the Lingjian School had suffered an unusually tragic blow, which led to less than one out of ten talented disciples. What was even more frightening was … perhaps even the teachers of that era were also lost.
Other sects, whether it was the Five Uniques of the Wanxian League, or the first rank sects like the Wanxiang Sect, in addition to the Sect Leader and Elders, most of the time, there would be some Grand Supreme Elders who were in closed-door training, whose seniority was even higher than the Sect Leader. And the number and strength of the Grand Supreme Elders were often the direct reflection of a sect's heritage.
Lingjian School didn't have a single Grand Supreme Elder. Above Feng Yin, all of them were enshrined in the ancestral hall. There was not a single living person, which formed an unusually conspicuous gap.
Now, it seemed like this was also the result of that great catastrophe.
And his Master Wang Wu, in the great catastrophe, invented the Non-Phase Method in order to survive. She said that the most important thing in the Immortal Cultivation was to be hard enough, not to act like a hoodlum in broad daylight, but from the bottom of her heart.
Perhaps that set of defensive survival method seemed ridiculous to many people, but a hundred years ago, the golden generation was almost extinct, and Wang Wu, who had a mediocre spirit root, actually survived. The dead genius was just a corpse, but the living Wang Wu could bring harm to the world. Who was superior and who was inferior, at a glance, was clear.
Then, as mentioned by Xiao Qi, his Master loved to work hard, it was obviously not because she was diligent in cultivation, but purely because, if she didn't work hard, she would die.
Thinking of this, his Master was really a pitiful person … However, a pitiful person must have a hateful side. Among the ten Heavenly Sword Hall Elders, the other nine were in good condition, but she was the only one who constantly broke the lower limit. It could be seen that this person also had her own nature.
Thinking of this, he heard Xiao Qi sigh, "Lingjian School, your generation of disciples is really blessed."
Wang Lu frowned and was about to speak when he suddenly saw Xiao Qi's expression freeze.
Not long after, a feminine, cold, and particularly unpleasant voice came from behind.
"I finally meet you."
Turning around, Wang Lu saw a gray robe, and under the gray robe was a dark brown face. That person seemed to be only thirty or forty years old, but his eyes seemed to have experienced the vicissitudes of life … With Wang Lu's current eyesight, although he could not accurately judge his cultivation level, he knew that this person was not as young as he looked. He must have cultivated for at least a hundred years.
That person had a smile on his face, but there was not a trace of friendliness. And behind that person stood a petite and exquisite girl. The girl was wearing a large cloak, covering her head and face … However, the hood was pushed up by the girl's two pointed ears. And her figure and appearance also looked particularly familiar.
It was the peak of King Pill that he met a week ago, the cat-eared girl.
Being approached by the people of Beast Master School, Wang Lu frowned. The Sword of Mount Kun naturally appeared in his hand. His cultivation level was not high, so in front of a King Pill level expert, he simply had no power to protect himself. However, when he used his Non-Phase Sword Defense, even a King Pill level expert would have to spend some effort.
This effort should be enough for Xiao Qi to open the door and escape.
However, that dark brown cultivator was the first to open his mouth and said, "We have no malice."
