"I was lucky …" Yan Li cupped his hands and said gratefully, "Mountain Master, thank you for your help. Without Senior Brother Shen's help, I wouldn't be able to stand here. "
Ye Qinglan patted Yan Li's shoulder and said, "I really didn't expect that you could reach here step by step. Now I regret it."
"Regret?" Yan Li said.
Ye Qinglan smiled and said, "In fact, those who can reach the third realm will definitely join the Court Of Sword. If you can reach the fourth realm …"
She paused and looked up at the gate. "For so many years, every time a genius who can reach the fourth realm appears, the seven branches will fight for him. They even fight each other."
At this point, she looked back at Yan Li. "Do you think I should regret it? If I'd known earlier, I would've taken you in first without that agreement. "
Yan Li could not help but smile bitterly. If he could have accepted her as his master, he wouldn't have needed to go to the Heavenly Capital.
"But I don't know if you still have your original intention." Ye Qinglan's eyes became distant and quiet.
Yan Li said, "I will join Cangjian Peak."
Ye Qinglan was happy and said, "Don't forget your original intention. Go in. But remember, don't force yourself to reach the fourth realm. Otherwise, you will be lost forever. "
Yan Li looked up at the gate in front of him.
The gate was just big, and most of it was hidden in the fog. It was impossible to guess what was behind the gate.
"Mountain Master, I have a question." He suddenly turned to Ye Qinglan.
"Go ahead." Ye Qinglan said.
"Why did you help Cangjian Peak so much?" Yan Li said, "You even used Senior Brother Shen's trump card …"
Ye Qinglan's eyes flashed and she said, "The first question is correct. But who told you the second one?"
Yan Li was shocked. He lowered his head and said, "I thought of it myself."
Ye Qinglan clasped her hands behind her back and turned around.
"The original form of the Court Of Sword was the Hidden Sword Sect. At that time, there were only eight people in the sect, the founder, the Hidden Sword Elder, and his seven disciples. The eldest disciple inherited the Hidden Sword Sect. Although the rest of the disciples were new to the sect, due to their close relationship, they still acknowledged themselves as Hidden Sword Sect disciples. In the second generation, the Hidden Sword Sect had no choice but to split up due to the serious divergence in cultivation methods. In the end, seven branches were formed. "
"Although the Seven Branches existed side by side, for thousands of years, Cangjian Peak has always been the head of the Seven Branches in order to pay tribute to the Patriarch's contributions to the Court Of Sword, until recently …"
She sighed faintly, "The method of Cangjian Peak has never changed, and it's also because the later generations respected the founder and dared not change it. Senior Brother Mountain Sea appeared out of nowhere and made the Court Of Sword, which was originally at the bottom of the Nine Confucian orthodoxy, strong again with his own strength. Now, it is only second to the Taoist Court, which is a great contribution. Therefore, it is reasonable that the Sky Sword Peak leads the Court Of Sword. "
"However, Cangjian Peak still exists as the orthodoxy and occupies the Tianzhu Mountain of the Ancestral Court. However, in recent years, it has suffered too much criticism and pressure. Junior Brother Xiaojian has had a hard time supporting it alone. As the senior sister who introduced him to the sect, I naturally feel sorry for him."
Hearing this, Yan Li also sighed, "Does the Mountain Master invite me to save the world …"
"I don't think so." Ye Qinglan smiled.
"As for Shen Wanzhou," when mentioning this name, her tone became cold, "I drove him away myself. He is not a trump card buried in Tianjing. Did he say that to you? "
Before Yan Li answered, she continued, "It shouldn't be. According to his character, he wouldn't tell you these things. You guessed it yourself. So why did you guess it for no reason? "
"To test what?" She suddenly turned around and stared at Yan Li sharply.
Yan Li immediately broke out in a cold sweat and hurriedly lowered his head, "I, I just feel that Senior Brother Shen shouldn't be buried in the grassroots with his martial arts skills."
"He asked for it!" Ye Qinglan's eyes were sharp, "I have already shown mercy by not destroying his cultivation."
"Yes, yes, yes …" Yan Li thought of his promise to Shen Wanzhou, and his heart was beating fast. If the person he longed for was really the person in front of him, wouldn't it be extremely difficult?
"That, that …" He stammered, "This time, Senior Brother Shen also made a contribution. Is it impossible for him to come back?"
Ye Qinglan said with a faint smile, "Did you make any agreement with him?"
Yan Li was startled and hurriedly said, "Absolutely not."
"You'd better." Ye Qinglan suddenly became indifferent, "Well, don't mention this in front of me in the future. Go to the trial by yourself!" Then she turned into a light and flew away.
Flying in the air was a skill that only existed in legends.
Yan Li was fascinated for a moment, and then his thoughts sank again.
It seemed that the reason why Shen Wanzhou was expelled from the Court Of Sword was somewhat close to his own guess. But he still had to find someone to inquire about it carefully in order to find the right remedy.
If Shen Wanzhou joined the Yanshan Robber, it would be like adding wings to a tiger. But it seemed that things would not be so easy.
Shaking his head, he cleared his thoughts and pushed the door open.
The space inside the door was really not large. It was just a small room, and he reached the end after walking for a few meters. At the end was a small door that could only allow one person to enter and exit. Compared with the big door, the small door was so small that it seemed to be integrated with the surrounding bluestone slabs.
The big door. The small door.
There seemed to be a special meaning between the two.
Did it mean that he should recognize his own insignificance when he had a big goal?
There was a stone platform in the middle of the room, on which there was a stone bead with a palm print on it.
There were no other instructions around, and it seemed that he just needed to press the print.
Yan Li did not follow its instructions. Instead, he came to the small door first, but found that no matter how hard he tried, the door would not move at all.
He thought for a while, and then turned back to the door.
The door was open, but if he walked out, he would definitely be disqualified. Because it was clearly written in the booklet that if a cultivator went out from the other door, he would pass the trial.
After that, he used all his skills and tried all kinds of moves on the small door, only to find that the door was simply the strongest fortress in the world. Not to mention breaking it, not even a scratch was left on it.
Helplessly, he went back to the middle and carefully observed the stone bead.
There were only some unknown rune patterns on the stone bead. Apart from that, he couldn't see anything different.
Should he press his hand on it?
It seemed that he had no other choice, so he reached out and pressed on it.
Suddenly, the world in front of him was spinning, and the scene changed abruptly. He actually came to an extremely spacious square in the boundless sea of stars. There was a person standing in front of him, a person holding a sword. Although the face was expressionless, how could he not recognize it?
