Tan Yue's prideful face darkened.
Long Yu turned around and left, not putting her in his eyes at all. How could a spoiled brat like her endure such humiliation?
"Bring him back, I want to slap his face!"
Tan Yue coldly said to the guards behind her. These guards were all bodyguards she brought from her home.
"Young Miss, he has already entered the Heaven Suppression Canyon, I'm afraid it's not convenient for us to make a move."
An older cultivator said with a troubled expression.
If it was outside the canyon, no one would care, but since Long Yu had already entered the canyon, they would undoubtedly offend the Zhentian Clan if they made a move.
Even the largest Tan Clan in Jade Pass City did not dare to offend the Zhentian Clan. As one of the seven major sects of the Great Tang Empire, the Zhentian Clan's foundation was unimaginable. A mere Tan Clan could be destroyed with a wave of their hand.
"Hmph, a bunch of trash."
Tan Yue snorted and walked towards the canyon, "From today onwards, I will be a disciple of the Zhentian Clan. As for that reckless brat, when he comes out of the canyon, break his arms and legs for me! "
"Yes, Young Miss."
The guards answered one after another. Looking at Tan Yue's figure disappearing into the canyon, they all felt a chill down their spine.
They knew their Young Miss's temperament the best.
That black-robed brat had offended their Young Miss. Whether he could become a disciple of the Zhentian Clan or not, his fate would be miserable!
… …
Long Yu stepped into the canyon, his mind completely focused on passing through it.
He couldn't be bothered with Tan Yue's princess syndrome.
Raising his head, Long Yu saw that the Heaven Suppression Canyon was a long and narrow valley with steep cliffs on both sides. In the middle of the cliffs, there was a long flight of stairs that led to the entrance of the Zhentian Clan.
This was a long flight of stairs with a total of three hundred steps. It was said that when one walked on this flight of stairs, there would be a heavy pressure descending from the heavens, preventing one from continuing forward. Without sufficient strength and comprehension, it was impossible to walk all three hundred steps.
As long as one passed these three hundred steps, they would be able to join the Zhentian Clan and become an Outer Disciple.
"Let's test the situation first."
Long Yu thought to himself as he walked towards the three hundred stone steps.
When he stepped on the first stone step, a heavy pressure descended from the sky. If an ordinary person who had never cultivated stepped on this stone step, they would have been crushed into pieces.
Long Yu was now at the third stage of the Martial Path. His own strength was four thousand kilograms, so it wasn't a problem for him to withstand the pressure.
He faced the pressure and stepped forward. With every step he took, the pressure that descended from the sky would become stronger. Fortunately, it was a gradual increase, allowing Long Yu to take a hundred steps in one go and arrive at the hundredth step.
At this point, the pressure on Long Yu was enormous!
Wave after wave of heavy pressure surged from both sides of the mountain walls, making Long Yu feel as if he was walking under a waterfall. Every step forward was extremely difficult.
He gritted his teeth, enduring the pressure that enveloped his body, but his back was still straight. His body was covered in sweat and his legs seemed to be bending under the pressure.
"The pressure here is too much for me to bear. It's impossible to walk three hundred steps with just the strength of the third stage of the Martial Path!"
He raised his head and saw that there was still two-thirds of the way to the end!
Sure enough, it was rumored that the Seven Great Sects of the Great Tang Empire were very strict in recruiting disciples. If one couldn't reach the fourth stage of the Martial Path before the age of eighteen, they basically didn't have the qualifications to join them.
However, Long Yu wasn't willing to give up. It wasn't easy to get here, but he still hadn't used his full strength. How could he back down now?
"The Zhentian Clan's recruitment of disciples can't just look at one's current cultivation. It must also include a cultivator's talent. Since that's the case, there must be another way … …"
Long Yu gritted his teeth as he thought about it. At this moment, he discovered that on both sides of the mountain walls of the Heaven Suppression Canyon, the sharp edges of the boulders seemed to be arranged in a special combination.
The special combination of these boulders seemed to contain spiritual energy, exuding a mysterious aura that made Long Yu's heart skip a beat.
Gradually, under the pressure that he couldn't bear, he entered a rather strange state. In his eyes, the edges of the boulders seemed to be one with the surroundings, as if they were expressing something to him.
Long Yu actually comprehended something from observing the mountain walls on both sides!
At this moment, the proud girl Tan Yue also entered the canyon. When she saw Long Yu's figure on the hundred steps, she couldn't help but smile disdainfully.
"And here I thought you had some ability, so it turns out that you're just a trash in the third stage of the Martial Path."
Tan Yue raised her head arrogantly and began to walk up the stone steps. Her figure under her red dress was graceful and exquisite.
Her brother, Tan Jian, had long been an inner disciple of the Zhentian Clan. He had once told her that the 300 steps required one to be at least in the fourth stage of the Martial Path. If a person in the third stage of the Martial Path came, they would only be able to walk up to 100 steps at most.
Seeing that Long Yu had stopped at the 100 steps, she guessed that he was only in the third stage of the Martial Path.
As the precious granddaughter of the Tan family's head, she had naturally reached the fourth stage of the Martial Path. She was confident that she could walk up the 300 steps and pass through the canyon.
Compared to the third stage of the Martial Path, the fourth stage of the Martial Path was a watershed. There was also a bottleneck. If a cultivator couldn't break through this bottleneck, then no matter how long they cultivated, it would be impossible to reach the fourth stage of the Martial Path. Just like Feng Luo who had one of his legs crippled by Long Yu.
However, if one broke through the bottleneck, then one would be able to cultivate Qi and Inner Strength in the body. Not only would one's attack and defense be greatly improved, but one would also have the terrifying strength of 4,000 pounds.
Tan Yue's footsteps were light and quick. She quickly arrived at the 100th step where Long Yu was at. She glanced at him with disdain.
"Trash, you dare to come here and embarrass yourself with only the third stage of the Martial Path? You really don't know what's good for you."
Tan Yue mocked him with disdain. "Since you've embarrassed me just now, there's no need to keep your trash cultivation. However, I'm too lazy to do anything. When you leave the canyon, my followers will naturally let you understand what it means to be superior!"
Originally, after saying that, she had hoped to see some panic and fear on Long Yu's face. However, reality had disappointed her.
Now, Long Yu was in a mysterious state. He closed his eyes to comprehend, as if he didn't hear her at all.
Just like outside the canyon, Tan Yue was once again ignored!
"Good, you're good."
Tan Yue's face darkened. She glared at Long Yu, who had his eyes closed, and continued to move forward.
In the Heaven Suppression Canyon, she didn't dare to make a move on Long Yu. However, she believed that when this brat failed to join the Zhentian Clan and left the Heaven Suppression Canyon, it would be his death.
Long Yu's first time ignoring her made Tan Yue decide to cripple his cultivation.
Long Yu's second time ignoring her made Tan Yue decide to take his life!
As the person involved, Long Yu knew nothing about it. He was still immersed in that mysterious state of mind.
Not long after, Tan Yue continued to move forward. She condensed twice the strength of Long Yu and finally reached the 300th step. According to the rules, she was now an outer disciple of the Zhentian Clan.
Two disciples guarding the mountain immediately came to welcome her. They were also outer disciples of the Zhentian Clan, and they were ordered to arrange the new disciples to pass through the Heaven Suppression Canyon.
"Junior Sister Tan Yue, congratulations on becoming an outer disciple of the Zhentian Clan."
A skinny man with small eyes said flatteringly, "My name is Wu Qing, and I'm in charge of arranging Junior Sister Tan Yue's entry. Senior Brother Tan Jian told me to wait here for a long time."
"Wu Qing."
Tan Yue looked at the skinny man, Wu Qing, and nodded in satisfaction. Wu Qing's flattering expression obviously made her feel very comfortable, making her feel like a high and mighty princess.
"I'm Han Jian. Greetings, Junior Sister Tan Yue."
The other person had a square face, but when he looked at Tan Yue, there was also a hint of passion in his eyes.
Tan Yue's identity was outstanding, and she was beautiful. He was attracted to her at first glance. If he could gain her favor, he would have more authority in front of Senior Brother Tan Jian in the future, right?
"Very good. What's your cultivation?"
Tan Yue nodded arrogantly and asked in a commanding tone.
"I'm in the fourth stage of the Martial Path, and Senior Brother Han is in the fifth stage."
Wu Qing immediately replied in a flattering manner.
"Fourth and fifth stage, not bad."
Tan Yue nodded as a fierce light flashed in her eyes. "Follow me and wait here for a while. There's a piece of trash a hundred steps down. I want to see how he rolls down."
"Oh? There's actually someone here who dares to offend Junior Sister Tan Yue? When he comes up, I, Wu Qing, will teach him a lesson. I'll let him know that he can't afford to offend just anyone! "
Wu Qing's eyes lit up. He was just thinking of a way to please Tan Yue, but someone came knocking on his door. This was exactly what he wanted!
"You're overestimating him. That trash is only in the third stage of the Martial Path, how can he come up?"
Tan Yue snorted with disdain.
"So he's only in the third stage of the Martial Path. Then, I'll accompany Junior Sister to watch a good show."
Han Jian, who was standing by the side, smiled. "I heard that the pressure of the Heaven Suppression Canyon will often kill those who don't know their limits. Those who try to barge in without sufficient strength will only end up with their bones crushed."
Tan Yue's eyes lit up.
If that's the case, why don't we use words to provoke that trash and force him to barge in? Wouldn't it be interesting to watch him die under the pressure?
The three of them quickly arrived at the vicinity of the three hundred stone steps. Looking down, they saw the black robed Long Yu still standing at the one hundred stone steps.
"He's indeed a piece of trash in the third stage of the Martial Path."
Wu Qing said with disdain. Although his cultivation was only one stage higher than the third stage of the Martial Path, the difference was like the difference between heaven and earth!
Right at this moment, Long Yu, who was immersed in a profound state, finally opened his eyes and raised his head.
"This is the feeling, as though I'm one with the surroundings!"
