"This road... is really f * cking long."
In the long and narrow valley, both master and servant were panting a little.
Wang Lu wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "Alas, I can't feel the abundant help from the Golden Bridge... even the luggage has become a little heavier."
The servant sighed and said, "What help, young master, are you confused..."
"Yes, I'm so tired that I'm confused, so you carry the luggage."
"Uh..."
While talking, Wang Lu suddenly became excited. He pointed to the front and said, "Look, the fog around us is getting thicker. This is obviously the sign of entering a new map!"
As usual, the servant was confused, "What do you mean by entering a new map?"
Wang Lu explained, "You don't think that the Immortal Path is a simple straight line, do you? There must be a lot of checkpoints in the middle to test a person's various qualities. If it's the root bone and knowledge, it's fine. A Golden Bridge and a piece of paper can test the depth of a person. But how can a person's temperament and fate be tested? Was it a written test, a quiz card, or a personality test? If Lingjian School wants to fully test the newcomers, it has to design sufficiently complicated scenes on the Immortal Path. This kind of scene may be an ordinary scene, or it may be an independent plane, like a dungeon. And the fog around us is very likely to be the buffer zone for changing maps. "
"Young master, I have no idea what you are talking about..."
However, it seemed that Wang Lu did not care whether the servant understood or not. He continued to explain, "Lingjian School is a famous ancient sect. The selection of disciples is very strict. In addition, the number of disciples is sparse. Generally, the elders in the sect go down the mountain to find disciples. The sect is not suitable for the mass production of the Immortal Path Assembly. That's why the opening of the mountain gate this time attracted so many people. But ancient sects are ancient sects. Even if it is a mass production ceremony, they will not accommodate it. The necessary procedures will definitely be more complicated than ordinary people think... "
Hearing this, the servant could not help but ask, "Young master, how do you know about the Lingjian School?"
In fact, the young master had only arrived at the Spirit Creek Town one day earlier. He had been staying in his room for a week. Where did he get so much information? Was it true that the Star of Literati had descended to the mortal world and was born with knowledge?
"Of course it was when I was doing the chain quests … Do you think I was just doing quests in the town that day? I listened carefully to the brief introduction of each mission point. Nowadays, many players were eager for quick success and did not care about anything other than quest objectives and quest rewards. Little did they know that what was truly valuable was the quest introduction! For example, when I completed the final segment, the old man at the gate would say that this was the first time that Lingjian School had organized an Immortal Gathering in the past hundred years, so they didn't have any experience. However, because they didn't have any experience, they put in a lot of effort. Even an old man like him, who had retired for many years, was hired to guard the town's gate … The amount of information in this was astonishing. But who would be able to hear it? Those young masters wanted to inquire about it, but if they didn't even do the task, why would they give the information to them? Is it because you have money? In a town where you can't even buy a carrot with five hundred taels of silver, money is nothing … "
The errand boy could not understand his young master's lament at all, but the disdain in his tone was vividly displayed. He had experienced this kind of strong self-confidence many times in the Wang Family Village. He did not expect that his self-confidence would still remain the same on the Immortal Path!
His young master was indeed his young master, he could not help but admire him.
According to Wang Lu, the fog on both sides of the valley was a buffer when switching maps. Behind the fog was a brand new test, which was related to whether or not they could enter the inner gate of Lingjian School, Misty Peak.
Although the errand boy did not really understand the difference between Carefree Peak and Misty Peak, it seemed that his young master attached great importance to it … That would not be wrong.
— — —
The range of the fog was much wider than expected.
They thought it was just a short buffer, but when they groped their way forward in the fog for a long time and still could not find the way forward, even Wang Lu was a little hesitant.
"Young master, could we have gone the wrong way?"
"Nonsense, it's the same path from the beginning to the end. Tell me, where did we go the wrong way?"
"Uh …"
The errand boy wiped the sweat off his head, speechless.
Wang Lu was carrying his luggage. Although he had been exercising, he was even more tired now. Therefore, although he was still confident, he slowed down his pace and began to look around.
The effective range of vision in the fog was less than three meters, and he could not see anything beyond that. Wang Lu only remembered that he was in a valley that was less than ten meters wide before he entered the fog, and then he went straight ahead …
"Wang Zhong, let's turn right."
"Ah? That's a cliff. "
"Not necessarily."
The errand boy was stunned for a moment, and then he followed Wang Lu to the right. However, he thought that they would bump into a mountain after a few steps …
"Eh, why … That's strange. I remember that before we entered this fog, the valley on both sides was very long. How come now …"
"We're not in the valley for a long time. The map change was completed unknowingly … I thought that the fog was a buffer, but it seems that it is also part of the map."
As Wang Lu spoke, he bent down and picked up the dust under his feet with his fingers.
"Young master, what's wrong with this soil?"
"How would I know? I'm not a geologist. " As Wang Lu spoke, he brushed off the dust on his hands. "I thought that I could find some clues from the soil, but it seems that I can't."
Wang Zhong suddenly felt a little worried. "Young master, is there any danger?"
Once Wang Lu was not paying attention, the little errand boy felt that the fog around him became ferocious, as if it could swallow him at any time. After all, this Immortal Path was not prepared for the little errand boy in the Wang Village.
"There's no danger, but there are no clues either."
"Ah!? Are we going to be trapped here until we die? "
"Of course not. The lack of clues itself is the biggest clue. As I said, the Immortal Path tests one's comprehensive qualities, so luck, or immortal fate, is also an important part. I've experienced it when I was doing the chain tasks. People who cultivate to become immortals value fate very much. "
"Uh, that is to say …"
Wang Lu smiled. "In other words, there's actually no wrong way to go on this road. Each direction symbolizes a person's chance … In other words, as long as you identify a direction and go to a certain extent, a new map will appear."
"Young master, how can you be so sure?"
"Do you still remember what the two blue and white guys said? Every blade of grass and every tree is fate. Didn't they say that you can walk any way you want? More importantly, if I were the designer, I would probably do it this way … When I was in Spirit Creek Town, I felt that the designer of the Immortal Ascension Assembly of Lingjian School was quite professional, so it shouldn't disappoint me. "
As he spoke, Wang Lu suddenly raised his head. His eyes seemed to see through the thick fog and saw the mountain peak standing on the clouds in the distance.
Lingjian School, wait for me ~

At the same time, far above the clouds in the valley, the Misty Peak was in a mess.
"What the hell, why is the Punisher Elder here?"
"Hurry up and inform Master and Uncle Zhou Ming to clean up the mess!"
"Black and white over there, go and find the Punisher Elder to stall for time!"
"Ha!? Senior Brother, you're a True Disciple, you should go! "
"Come on, the Punisher Elder is even stricter with True Disciples! If I go, I'll definitely be locked up until the Nascent Soul Stage! "
"Congratulations, Senior Brother, you'll soon become a Nascent Soul Stage old monster!"
"Congratulations my ass! I'm only one step away from the Xudan Stage, I won't be able to come out of this confinement for at least one or two hundred years! Stop talking nonsense, go and stop the Punisher Elder! "
"Who wants to stop me?"
"Ah ah ah ah!"
—
"… Senior Brother Liu Xian, Junior Brother Zhou Ming, what are you doing?"
"Ah ah ah ah! Who is it! Who is pretending to be Junior Brother Fang He! How dare you pretend to be the Punisher Elder, I'll report to the Sect Leader and punish you! If you have the ability, stay here and don't run! "
"… Senior Brother Liu Xian, are you done? Also, Junior Brother Zhou Ming, don't think about using the Light Shadow Sword to escape, I've already set up the Star Shadow Screen, you can't escape. "
"… Senior Brother Fang He, the Sect Leader didn't teach you the Star Sword Technique to deal with your fellow disciples!"
"As the Punisher Elder, if I don't punish my fellow disciples, should I punish the people of the Spirit Creek Town? You … are all dignified elders of the Heavenly Sword Hall, responsible for supervising the important Immortal Gathering, but you neglect your duties and openly violate the rules of the sect by gathering people to gamble, you … according to the sect rules, don't even think about leaving the mountain within a hundred years. "
"F * ck, no way!? What version of the sect rules is this? "
In the Misty Peak, a group of sect elders were quarreling, when suddenly a sword light pierced through the clouds and turned into a black and white disciple who landed on the platform.
The disciple had a solemn expression on his face. It was as if he did not see the overturned mahjong table and the sect elder who was arguing until his ears were red. He coldly said, "Reporting to the elder, someone has walked out of the Cloud Wave Map."
"What? So fast!? "
The Misty Peak Master, who had been arguing with the Disciplinary Elder until his ears turned red, was startled. He abandoned the other party and walked to the edge of the cliff. Looking down at the ever-changing clouds, his expression became even more astonished.
"It's actually those two …"
The Brilliant Peak Master, Zhou Ming, quietly tore off the white strip on his face and came over. "What's wrong with those two? You know them? Their results are not bad, to be able to walk out of the Cloud Wave Map in just four hours … wait, only four hours!? "
At this time, even the usually rigid Punisher Elder Fang He could not help but raise his eyebrows. "Four hours? Doesn't that mean they walked out of the mystery without any confusion? The people in the Cloud Wave Map will not only have their five senses blocked by the array, but even the flaws in their hearts will be magnified. Unless they have absolute confidence in themselves, they will definitely be lost for a long time. Four hours, and they are moving in a straight line without any twists and turns. What an extreme temperament! "
Liu Xian was stunned for a moment. "When was the last time I saw such a fast speed?"
Zhou Ming shook his head. "Well, I've never seen it before."
Fang He said softly, "You've never seen it before? Junior Brother Zhou Ming, your memory is getting worse and worse. We've all seen the last person who could walk out of the Cloud Wave Map in four hours … "
"We've all seen it before? From what I remember, the person with the best performance should be Sect Leader Senior Brother. He also spent more than eight hours, even more than him … "Zhou Ming said with a frown. Suddenly, he froze." Senior Brother Fang He, could it be that … "
"… Who else could it be?"
A figure flashed in everyone's mind at the same time, and they all sighed.
After a long time, Liu Xian said, "As expected of a talent that even Sect Leader Senior Brother has taken a fancy to. His aptitude is only between the third and fourth grade, but his temperament is probably at the first grade."
Fang He shook his head. "We can't make such a conclusion so early. The Cloud Wave Map is only the preliminary test. Temperament is not the only factor that affects the result, but also the opportunity. Let's see what their next test is … Hey, Senior Brother, when did your Misty Peak design such a test?"
At this time, the clouds changed again. In addition to the little cloud people that reflected the master and servant pair, there were also dozens of building protrusions. It turned out to be a small village.
Fang He became more and more puzzled. "The Cloud Wave Map … should be connected to the Red Ridge Mountain, the Frozen Wind Valley, the Blue Cloud Gorge, or the Netherworld Path according to the participant's performance. If you can walk all the way to the end, you will be qualified to enter the Misty Peak. But I don't remember this test. Could it be that Senior Brother changed the test of the Immortal Gathering? "
Liu Xian was also puzzled. "Junior Brother, you know me. How could I change the rules of the sect at will?"
Fang He glanced at the overturned Mahjong table on the side and didn't say anything. Although Senior Brother made a mistake, he wasn't the type to make decisions without authorization. In other words …
"Fifth Junior Sister, what are you trying to do?"
