"Congratulations to the two of you …"
"What the hell!? What kind of evildoer are you!? "
The voice that suddenly appeared behind Wang Lu startled him. He jumped up and turned around. He didn't know when, but there were two young men in blue and white robes behind him. They were about twenty-five or twenty-six years old. Although the color of their robes was different, the style was similar to the black and white brothers on the Golden Bridge. They should be Spirit Sword Sect's disciples.
The two disciples looked indifferent. The older one cupped his hands toward Wang Lu and the errand boy. "Lingjian School's Carefree Peak's disciples. I am Zhang Ying, and this is Lu Ming."
Wang Lu let out an "oh" sound.
"Congratulations to the two of you for climbing the Golden Bridge all the way to here. According to the sect's rules, you can return to the sect with us two brothers and enter the Carefree Peak to cultivate."
"…" Wang Lu frowned and didn't say anything.
Zhang Ying didn't urge him and silently waited for Wang Lu's response.
After a moment, Wang Lu was still silent, but the little errand boy softly said, "Immortal, immortal, you mean … we have, have been accepted by your sect?"
Zhang Ying nodded. "Yes, that's right."
Lu Ming added, "The Golden Bridge was personally built by the Sect Leader to judge the aptitude of a cultivator. The better the aptitude, the farther you can go on the bridge. To be able to reach here means that you have reached the entry standard. "
The errand boy froze for a moment and then became ecstatic. "Is, is this true?"
"Of course it's true."
"Young master! Did you hear that? We have succeeded! We have been accepted by the Lingjian School! "
Wang Lu shook his head. "Excuse me, the two people who fell on the Golden Bridge are …?"
Zhang Ying's face was slightly unnatural. "Them? They are the Misty Peak's Senior Brothers. "
"Misty Peak? Carefree Peak? What's the difference? "
Zhang Ying's face sank. "Why are you asking so many questions?"
Lu Ming wryly smiled and said, "Senior Martial Brother, there's nothing to be embarrassed about … From the outside, the Spirit Sword Mountain looks like a lone peak, but in fact, it has many peaks. The so-called Carefree Peak is actually the Outer Sect of the Spirit Sword Mountain, while the Misty Peak is the Inner Sect. Those two Senior Martial Brothers can't be compared to us."
Wang Lu smiled, "That's what I said, the two black and white students are obviously more arrogant than the two blue and white students." Then he was a little suspicious, "But, Lingjian School only relies on that golden bridge to recruit new students? Once he reached here, he would enter the outer sect, and then what? If I can reach the end in one go, will I be able to enter the inner sect? "
Lv Ming said, "Of course it's impossible. The Lingjian School's inner gate selection is extremely strict. Aptitude, temperament, and immortal fate must all be above the standard. Otherwise, just based on aptitude alone, even if you have a heavenly spiritual root, you probably won't be able to enter the eyes of the Misty Peak Master."
Wang Lu: "F * ck."
"What?"
Wang Lu smiled, "It's nothing. So, for new students like us, what's the problem if we want to enter the inner sect?"
Zhang Ying coldly snorted, "You want to enter the Misty Peak? That's easy. Look, straight ahead from here is the Misty Peak. If you can reach it, the Misty Peak Master will naturally accept you. "
Wang Lu looked at the direction where Zhang Ying's finger pointed. In the long narrow valley ahead, there was another cloud of mist blocking the way.
"How far is it?"
Lv Ming smiled, "That depends on fate. Maybe it's very far, or maybe it's right in front of you. The Immortal Path is always unpredictable."
Zhang Ying asked, "What are you going to choose? Do you want to go back to the Carefree Peak with us? Or do you want to continue on this Immortal Path? I'll tell you in advance, if you miss this village, you won't get another chance. "
Wang Lu said, "So, if you choose to continue, you can only go all the way to the Misty Peak?"
Zhang Ying sneered, "That's right. Either go all the way to the Misty Peak and enter the Spirit Sword Sect, or the Immortal Path ends here and you return to the mortal world. Since you look down on our Carefree Peak, don't expect us to be your guarantee. Although the Carefree Peak is an Outer Sect, we don't want sugar cane chewed by other people. "
"Do you have to be so serious? I don't think you're third-class citizens of Spirit Sword Sect, good-for-nothings who can't reach a high position, can't reach a low position. "
"What did you say!?"
Wang Lu shrugged, "In short, since we're already here and we know that the Immortal Path is not finished, of course, we have to go all the way."
"Humph, don't regret it … Don't think that just because the Carefree Peak is an Outer Sect Disciple, our Big Brother is not inferior to the Successor Disciples. Among the one thousand people here, only one out of ten can reach here. Cherish your opportunity. "
At this time, the errand boy also nodded and said, "Young Master, how about … we go to the Carefree Peak?"
"If you want to go, then go. There's no need to ask for my permission."
"Ah …" The errand boy's face suddenly turned bitter, "Young Master, I was specially sent by the Master to take care of you, how can I leave you alone …"
Wang Lu smiled, looked at the errand boy's wrinkled face, opened his mouth, and finally shook his head, saying, "In short, I want to go forward. If you want to follow me, then follow me."
Zhang Ying glanced at the two of them.
"You two, don't regret it. Let me remind you first, the second half of the Immortal Path is far more difficult than you can imagine. In the past three hundred years, there hasn't been a successful case. In the past Immortal Gathering, the number of disciples recruited was limited to the Carefree Peak. The way the Lingjian School recruits Inner Court disciples is that the Elders go out to travel and look for the Immortal Fate. Maybe in ten years, maybe in a hundred years, they can find a good seedling. But the Immortal Path is almost impossible. "
"It doesn't matter, I have been a professional adventurer for dozens of years. My nickname is the Immortal Awakening Dew, so there's no need to worry about the difficulties and dangers."
Zhang Ying turned his head, "… Hmph, that's all I have to say, you're on your own!"
Wang Lu laughed, and then waved to Lu Ming, saying, "Then, Senior Brother Lu Ming, I look forward to seeing you in the Mountain Gate in the future."
Lu Ming also laughed, "I have seen a few new disciples before, but none of them are as friendly as you. Alright, then I will say one more thing, the Immortal Path is not normal, every blade of grass and every tree is predestined."
"… Are you mocking me for being merciful?"
"Haha, what do you mean? Go figure it out yourself. If I say more, I will be punished by Master. Good luck!"
Zhang Ying pulled his Junior Brother, "Enough, I can't explain to you anymore … The next wave is coming, get ready to meet them."
While talking, the two stretched out their hands to tear the mountain mist around their ankles, and then slowly flew out of the valley and disappeared.
In the valley, Wang Lu and Wang Zhong looked at each other in dismay.
"Young Master, is it really good to give up like this?"
"Of course not, who said I am going to give up!? The test behind the Carefree Peak can make all the heroes in the world helpless for more than three hundred years. If you don't see it with your own eyes, will you be satisfied? "
However, the errand boy nodded very disappointedly, "I am willing, very willing! Young Master, I have never dreamed that you could reach this step. When you said you wanted to participate in the Immortal Gathering of Lingjian School, everyone in the village thought you were crazy. Before I left, Master told me that if I was eliminated, I could go to the nearby big city with Young Master to relax. Who would have thought that Young Master, you actually … actually reached this step? "
"… Which step? The real Immortal Path has just begun, okay? "
Looking at the puzzled look in the errand boy's eyes, Wang Lu made an exception and explained to him his own experience.
"There are three main points. The first is what Lan Bai said just now. The Immortal Path tests many factors, such as aptitude, temperament, and opportunity. Now we have just passed the test of aptitude. No, it is not even a real test of aptitude. We just crossed a threshold that we have to pass. How can you say that the Immortal Path has reached this step?"
"But …"
"But the Carefree Peak has already opened its doors? Don't be silly. The second point, Lan Bai just said that the Senior Brother of the Carefree Peak is not much worse than the Inherited Disciples. Even if it is an exaggeration, he should still be an excellent talent. But why does such an excellent Senior Brother stay in the Carefree Peak? Why not the Misty Peak? "
"Why, why …?"
"Just like the other people who think that they are very great and think that joining the Carefree Peak is already a great honor … because this is the limit of their ability. You chose the easy difficulty, so don't complain that you can't see the hidden plot. "
"Huh?"
"Forget it, you won't understand even if I tell you. Next, the third point … "
Wang Lu raised his head. His eyes became deep in the clouds, and there seemed to be a flame burning in his pupils.
"As an adventurer, you should have the momentum to break through the clouds and the sky, and get through all difficulties!"
"Ah!?"
"… Anyway, I must go on. Whether I follow you or not, those two Lan Bai have already left. You can't go back even if you want to, haha!"
As Wang Lu said this, he picked up his luggage again and strode forward.
"In addition, Wang Zhong, the next journey is going to be super long. Be prepared."
Wang Zhong, who was a little tired, asked, "How long?"
"If we use a storybook as an analogy, it is about 70,000 to 80,000 words."
"… That is really, really long."
—
"The Misty Peak is not as easy as the Spirit Sword Golden Bridge."
Above the boundless sea of clouds, a white-haired old man stroked his beard and said.
"Senior Brother Sect Leader set up today's meeting twelve years ago. Heroes from all over the world have gathered here, and it is indeed extraordinary. There are nearly a hundred people who have passed four-fifths of the Golden Bridge, and they are all geniuses who can enter the Carefree Peak by virtue of their spiritual roots."
A young cultivator in a black and white robe beside him said with a smile, "Master, do you already have a candidate in mind?"
The old man said disdainfully, "Humph, passing the Golden Bridge only shows that the quality of their spiritual roots is not bad, but it is not that easy to enter the Misty Peak. Among these 100 people, it will be good if there are only ten left."
While talking, a voice suddenly appeared behind him.
"Alas, there is no need to be so strict."
Above the clouds, the two cultivators, one old and one young, were startled. When they turned their heads, they were even more frightened.
"Senior, Senior Brother Sect Leader!?"
The one who suddenly appeared behind them was the leader of the Lingjian School, Feng Yin Daoist Master.
"Yo, don't be so nervous." Feng Yin Daoist Master smiled and waved his hand, "I just came to have a look. Behind the Golden Bridge is your Misty Peak, Junior Brother Liu Xian, which is the backbone of our sect."
Liu Xian looked serious, lowered his head and said, "Senior Brother entrusted me with such an important task, Liu Xian will not dare to neglect it."
"You have worked hard these years. Look at the grand occasion of the Misty Peak now, it is really hard to imagine the scene in the past … However, since we have specially held this meeting, there is no need to be too strict with the newcomers. If there is anyone you like, just accept them."
Liu Xian was a little embarrassed, "Senior Brother, that is against the rules."
"Oh, the rules are set according to the situation. The number of people in the Lingjian School has been declining for a long time, don't you think it should be lively?"
"To be honest, I don't think it is lively enough with Fifth Junior Sister."
"… Let's not talk about her. I asked her to help me design the Immortal Gathering, but she made a mess of it. These days my brain is about to explode … Hmm? I have an impression of this child. His aptitude is quite good, and he is worth paying attention to. "
As he said this, the Immortal pointed at the clouds, and two illusionary little people came to life. They were the master and servant from the Wang Family Village.
Liu Xian was very surprised, "Senior Brother, you think highly of them? Well, their results on the Golden Bridge are really good … "
"Oh, the Golden Bridge is just a small thing I made casually, don't take it too seriously."
"Senior Brother, you are too modest. The Golden Bridge can precisely control the innate spiritual energy. The higher the quality of the spiritual root, the easier it is to get natural spiritual energy, so it is easy to walk on the bridge. However, the further you walk, the stronger the resistance. When the resistance is equal to the help, you can judge a person's best position … Although you can also overdraft your physical strength and continue to walk, if you consume too much physical strength on the Golden Bridge, you will not be able to walk the rest of the road. Although the principle is simple, the design is really clever, and it is the best for preliminary judgment of aptitude. With the results of these two people, Senior Brother should look at them in a different light. "
"Uh, actually, it's not me, it's little Ling 'Er who thinks highly of one of them … It is said that he solved that damn chain of tasks. His aptitude is similar to what I saw before, between the third and fourth level, not bad. "
"Then …"
"It doesn't matter, just follow the rules of the Misty Peak. How far he can go will depend on his ability …"
While speaking, a burning sword talisman suddenly appeared, almost igniting the Sect Leader's beard.
"Hey!? Who is this? You have nothing better to do, using the Spirit Sword Heavenly Talisman to find me … Sure enough, it's you! What are you doing? Is it the end of the world?! Is the demon race invading!? What? Overtime pay? You want overtime pay for the Immortal Gathering? Do you have any shame!? Forget it, we can talk when we meet! Ouch, I'm so angry, my primordial spirit is about to collapse … "
Feng Yin Daoist Master took a few moments to calm his anger. However, when he turned his head, his field of vision was thousands of miles of clear sky, and the clouds and mist that surrounded the mountain range were unexpectedly dispersed!
The young Spirit Sword Sect's cultivator was aghast, but Liu Xian showed a look of sincere admiration. "Sect Leader's cultivation base is unparalleled. Just a little bit of your residual power was able to break the Misty Peak's Misty Cloud Array … Junior Brother is sincerely convinced."
"I've only broken through the first level, not to mention a mere Deity Stage is nothing in the Nine Regions. Hehe, ten years ago when I went to the Union of Ten Thousand Immortals for a meeting, several standing committee members were already in the Unity Stage."
"Humph, a demonstration?"
"Demonstration my ass, I slept from the beginning to the end … Forget it, let's not talk too much, I'll go first. Otherwise, if Junior Sister burns a few more heavenly talismans, I'll go bankrupt … Junior Brother, I'll leave the Immortal Gathering to you. Don't mind what I said, just follow the rules."
With that, the Sect Leader turned into a beam of light and left. Liu Xian sighed. Through the Misty Peak's Great Cloud Array, he saw the master and servant pair walking in the canyon.
Both the Sect Leader and little Ling 'Er fancied them …? Although the Sect Leader said that everything should be done according to the rules, this kind of courtesy itself had already broken the rules.
"Pay attention to those two people, I hope they won't let me down … Then, we'll prepare for the logistics work!"
The black and white cultivator nodded and was about to leave …
"Oh, by the way, remember to tell your Junior Brothers to bring spirit stones and sword manuals … Alas, bring mahjong as well. This Immortal Gathering will probably last for a long time, don't make it too boring …"
"Em … Master?"
"Hehe, remember to call your Martial Uncle Zhou Ming. Last time, their Brilliant Peak won more than ten magical treasures from us. This time, I'll help you win it back."
"... Master?"
