At the foot of the mountain, Xie Tian had changed into an ordinary disciple's attire. He held a token and followed a low-level deacon.
"This is where you'll live."
The low-level deacon pointed at the ruined cave in front of him and threw a book to Xie Tian. He said perfunctorily, "Ordinary Emptiness Realm Disciples can receive ten thousand Mortal Rank Spirit Stones and ten Profound Pills every month. You can read the rest yourself."
With that, the deacon left.
Xie Tian did not mind and was about to enter the cave when he heard sneers.
"Newcomer, why don't you know the rules?"
"According to the Physique Sect's rules, new disciples need to show respect to their senior brothers of the same realm to repay their daily teaching."
"Heh, of course you can not show respect, but don't blame us for teaching you too harshly."
Seven or eight Emptiness Realm Disciples walked out of their respective caves and looked at Xie Tian as if he was a fat sheep.
"Okay." Xie Tian nodded and walked towards his cave.
"Ha, this Junior Brother is quite tactful. He said 'okay' and it's over."
The group of people looked unfriendly, but Xie Tian ignored them and entered the cave. After a few breaths, a huge stone slab fell and blocked the cave.
"He's good!"
Everyone realized that the 'okay' Xie Tian said meant that he wanted them to teach him harshly.
"You have guts. I like this kind of ruthless person."
"Brothers, go back and prepare. He will be crippled in three days and killed in five days."
Xie Tian sat cross-legged in the cave and frowned.
He was not worried about being ostracized by the followers or the troubles of the ordinary disciples. He was worried about the various dangers he would face now and in the future.
As a spy, not to mention the danger of running into the enemy's base camp, just the two words "Xie Clan" made him feel very heavy.
"Soon, someone from the She Clan will guess that I have the Evil Vein Dao Fruit. Just a guess is enough to make the She Clan go crazy."
Xie Tian had to go back to the Middle Prefecture. However, going back meant that he would have to face the She Clan. Just thinking about it made his back numb.
A moment later, he took a deep breath and cut off all distracting thoughts. If he wanted to solve this problem, the only way was to become stronger.
Half an hour later, he closed the book in his hand, a thoughtful look in his eyes.
The book introduced the various aspects of the Body Sect. What he cared about the most was naturally the cultivation methods. Unfortunately, as an ordinary disciple, the level of cultivation methods he learned was about the same as when he was in the You Family.
"Apart from that, there's another path, the Minor Ascension Peak."
Somewhere on the broken mountain peak, there was an extremely wondrous stone staircase that went straight up for three thousand zhang. This was the small peak.
The three thousand feet of stone steps were filled with the cultivation imprints left behind by the past masters of the Physique Sect. These imprints contained the experiences of body refinement, as well as mysterious cultivation techniques that could only be comprehended.
"Go now."
Xie Tian acted swiftly and decisively. He immediately opened the stone door and headed towards the Little Ascension Peak.
"This is the Minor Ascension Peak."
When Xie Tian saw the Minor Ascension Peak for the first time, his face was filled with astonishment. Among the rubble and weeds, there was a shabby path. It was almost impossible to see the edges of the stone steps. It was obvious that it had been abandoned for a long time.
However, no matter what, Xie Tian would not give up a trace of hope. Just as he was about to step onto the first stone step, a mocking voice came over.
"I have been out of the sect for a few months. Since when did an ordinary initial Void Realm disciple dare to go up the Minor Ascension Peak?"
Xie Tian raised his head and saw a young body cultivator walking down the stone steps. His face was pale, and his forehead was covered in sweat. His slightly tired eyes were filled with sharpness and arrogance.
"It's him!"
Xie Tian had some impression of this person. He had seen him at the Exchange Conference.
"Those who can go to the Exchange Conference are either core disciples or legacy disciples."
Feeling the slight beating of Xie Sha, Xie Tian immediately confirmed that this person was a legacy disciple. To avoid unnecessary trouble, he walked to the side and opened up a path.
"The Minor Ascension Peak tests aptitude and cultivation, not courage and temperament. Don't waste your time."
Seeing that Xie Tian was tactful, Xu Shaoxiang said one more sentence and left. As for whether the other would listen or not, it was not within the scope of his consideration.
Xie Tian thought for a moment and stepped onto the Minor Ascension Peak.
"Ever since Ancestor Poshan, the Minor Ascension Peak has experienced the comprehension of countless disciples for hundreds of thousands of years. All kinds of cultivation techniques have disappeared, and only the peak of the peak remains."
Xu Shaoxiang sighed. The Exchange Conference made him realize how big of a gap there was between him and the top geniuses of the nine prefectures.
Therefore, after his cultivation broke through to the Nirvana Realm, he came to the Minor Ascension Peak full of confidence and tried to obtain the cultivation experiences of the ancestors. In the end, he was still stopped at 2700 feet.
"It is said that our Physique Sect had two supreme geniuses who reached the peak and obtained extraordinary opportunities. Sigh!"
Just as Xu Shaoxiang was sighing, he suddenly felt a darkness in front of him. He quickly looked up, and his expression immediately darkened.
"Huang Hua!"
Huang Hua was also a legacy disciple of the Physique Sect. He was ranked fourth, and he had shone brilliantly during the exchange, becoming the only genius disciple of the Physique Sect to enter the top ten.
"Junior Brother Xu," Huang Hua looked at Xu Shaoxiang with a smile that was not a smile, and said, "What, you went to Little Ascension Peak?"
"Hmph, you don't have to worry about it."
"Haha, Junior Brother Xu, you've already broken through to the Nirvana stage. Why are you still unable to ascend to the top? If this goes on, I'm afraid you won't be able to become a legacy disciple."
"Try reaching the top if you can!" Xu Shaoxiang sneered.
Huang Hua chuckled and said proudly, "I am one of the top ten geniuses of the Nine States. It's just a small matter of ascending the peak."
"Shameless boasting! If you can reach the top, I'll kowtow and call you brother!"
Xu Shaoxiang returned to his courtyard with a dark expression. Just as he was about to adjust his breathing, his attendant walked in.
"Young Master, Jin Wang Zhong Huai has set up a banquet to welcome the Third Miss of the You Clan. He has invited Young Master."
"Alright."
The distraught Xu Shaoxiang rested for a moment before walking towards Zhong Huai's courtyard.
At this time, Xie Tian had already ascended six thousand feet.
The stone steps of the small peak were very strange. Every time he stepped on them, he would feel a pressure. This pressure wasn't just like the pressure of heaven and earth. It was very special and indescribable.
"Looks like this is the case. This small peak really tests one's cultivation and aptitude."
Thinking of Xu Shaoxiang's words, Xie Tian finally understood that the mysterious pressure he felt from his bones was aimed at his body's aptitude.
Apart from aptitude, the pressure also targeted one's cultivation. This part of the pressure was the pure pressure of heaven and earth. It was very similar to the force field that Xie Tian had passed through.
"Six thousand feet is almost effortless, but there are no signs of cultivation. I wonder if there are any opportunities in the remaining three thousand feet."
Xie Tian stepped onto the second stone step in front of him and his expression changed slightly.
"The pressure has doubled. The pressure of heaven and earth seems to be eight thousand times!"
Eight thousand times the pressure, which was equivalent to the middle section of a rank two force field, was still easy for Xie Tian.
After three thousand feet, the pressure changed again, reaching nine thousand times. But the pressure targeted at his aptitude made his Evil Body tremble.
Xie Tian was not surprised but happy. According to his experience, to be able to make the Evil Body react, even if it was just a trace, it was already very impressive.
"As expected of the small peak. Continue!"
After five minutes, Xie Tian stood where Xu Shaoxiang had stopped. He frowned as he felt the Evil Body's speed increase.
"Within seven thousand feet, there is still no harvest. The pressure has reached more than ten thousand feet. Although it is nothing to worry about, the Evil Body …"
The trembling of the Evil Body more or less made him a little worried.
Although his Evil Body Dao Fruit was strong, it had only evolved once, and its potential had not been unleashed. The pressure targeting his aptitude at two thousand seven thousand feet seemed to be the limit of the Evil Body.
"My Evil Body can bring me to the top of the nine heavens. Why should I be afraid of a small peak?"
Xie Tian took a step forward and stepped into the last three thousand feet.
