Ye Fan felt that he and Li Xiaoman were already as calm as water. The only relationship they could have was that they were stranded in this world together.
Apart from that, it was difficult to have anything else. All the bits and pieces of the past had long passed with time, becoming blooming fireworks.
He had also thought that although they could not be together and were no longer as touched as before, they could still be friends. But the last time they met, he felt that it was wishful thinking.
Ye Fan did not intend to acknowledge Li Xiaoman. Instead of feeling that indifference, it was better to brush past her like a stranger.
Before coming to the Taixuan Gate, Ji Ziyue had smeared her pink cheeks, almost turning into a little tabby cat. Only her big eyes were still very lively, and at this moment, they were curved into crescent moons. She had captured the change in Ye Fan's mood.
In the endless mountains, there were 108 main peaks, representing 108 kinds of legacies. They were the root of the Taixuan Gate's everlasting prosperity.
Even though some of the legacies were showing signs of decline, there were still other legacies that were rising. After the change of dynasties and the passage of time, the Taixuan Gate had always stood tall.
Inside the gate, the terrain was open, and people were surging. There were tens of thousands of people gathered here, but it was not crowded at all. They were all waiting for the selection.
And this was only the first day. It would last for seven days. If there were so many people every day, one could imagine how many people would come here.
These people came from dozens of surrounding countries, and they all had a certain amount of talent, but only a very small number could stay. They had to be extremely talented and outstanding.
"So exaggerated?!" In front of him, there was a sea of people. Ye Fan was quite surprised. This was even stricter than the emperor choosing his concubine.
Ji Ziyue glanced at him and said, "Of course, the Taixuan Gate is very famous. At its peak, its strength was enough to rank in the top 100 of the Eastern Barren Territory. It is a rare super force that has existed for more than 10,000 years.
"If that's the case, isn't your Ji family even more terrifying? It is hard for me to imagine how powerful your family is and how strong they are.
"The Clan of the Ancients and the Holy Land have existed for a long time and cannot be measured. Even I have no way of truly understanding how deep their heritage is."
Hearing this, Ye Fan could only suck in a breath of cold air. He had no way of figuring out just how terrifying such a transcendent ancient clan was.
"Little brat, why do I feel like you don't have any concept of the major powers? You don't understand them at all."
"Don't call me a brat." Ye Fan felt very uncomfortable with this form of address.
Ji Ziyue chuckled and messed up his black hair, saying, "You don't look more than thirteen or fourteen years old, yet you want to act like an old man and pretend to be an adult. Seriously …"
At this moment, dozens of figures flew over from the one hundred and eight main peaks in the distance. All of them had white hair that draped over their shoulders. They were all hale and hearty old men. There were both men and women, and they looked like old immortals.
They floated in midair, looking down at the tens of thousands of people below. One of them spoke. His words were concise and to the point, and his voice spread to every corner. Everyone could hear him.
According to what the old man said, the most initial test only required one to pass through a door of immortality, and it was utterly impossible to pass if one didn't possess immortal fate. Only after passing through this door could one go to the one hundred and eight main peaks to take the test. If one was suitable for the inheritance of a certain peak, they could stay and become a disciple of the Taixuan Sect.
Ye Fan and Ji Ziyue blended into the crowd and followed the crowd forward. Soon, they arrived in front of the mysterious door. It was a thousand meters tall and formed from a natural stone barrier. Inside was a misty and endless canyon.
Although many people entered, ninety percent of them were sent back by the immortal light and were considered to have no immortal fate.
"This natural barrier of the Taixuan Sect that looks like a stone door is said to have been refined by the 19th generation patriarch. Those who are not suitable for cultivation cannot pass through," many people whispered.
Many of those who were sent out were very unwilling and walked forward again, but the result was no different.
There were many young disciples of the Taixuan Sect guarding this place, and no one dared to cause trouble. After being sent back several times, those people had no choice but to leave.
When it was Ye Fan and Ji Ziyue's turn, the two of them didn't have anything to be nervous about. They walked in at the same time as hundreds of people. Ji Ziyue easily passed and lightly stepped forward, but at this moment, there was a flash of light, and Ye Fan was sent back.
"This guy's physique … is clearly tyrannical, how can he be so useless?" Ji Ziyue's small mouth formed an O shape, her face full of disbelief.
Ye Fan had just sealed off the fluctuations of his divine power. The sea of bitterness was as hard as divine iron, unshakable, and as expected, he was sent back. He instantly understood the reason. His face flushed red and his heart did not jump. He walked forward again. People around him made fun of him, but he did not care.
This time, he overflowed with a bit of divine power, and without any accidents, he smoothly passed. This surprised the people outside who were waiting to see him make a fool of himself.
"You, what happened just now?" Ji Ziyue's expression was filled with curiosity. She sized him up and said, "Your physique is very special. There must be some secret."
In the end, only a few thousand people remained from the tens of thousands of people. They headed towards the 108 main peaks to search for their own immortal opportunities. Many of them would still fail, and only a few would be able to stay.
In the depths of the Supreme Mystery Sect, there were countless beautiful mountain peaks. Among them, the 108 main peaks were the most magnificent.
Some of the main peaks were filled with celestial music. Clouds and mist floated about, and multicolored light flickered. Some of the main peaks were full of vitality. The waterfall was thousands of feet long, and it fell down like the Milky Way falling from the nine heavens. On some of the main peaks, immortal cranes danced in the air and heavenly palaces floated in the air. It was extremely auspicious, as if it was a pure land outside of the world.
"Those palaces are not located on the mountains, but floating on the clouds …" Ye Fan was deeply shocked.
"What's so strange about this? It's only natural for such a super power to do so. Our family still has an ancient city that will never fall."
"This …" Ye Fan could only sigh silently.
"I'll wait here for a while. I'll observe in the dark to see who wants to deal with me. When the time comes, I'll drag them all out!" Ji Ziyue blinked her large eyes and then said, "However, since we've come here, we can't come here for nothing. The Supreme Mystery Sect has a few legendary mysterious ancient techniques that are unique. Even the Holy Lands and the Ancient Clans are envious of them."
Ye Fan was very tempted and said, "Then what's there to hesitate about? Let's choose the main peak that has this kind of inheritance."
"Unfortunately, it's said that those ancient techniques have almost been lost and have been in decline for many years. We can only try our luck." Ji Ziyue came from the Ancient Clans and was very knowledgeable. She had a certain understanding of the Supreme Mystery Sect. In the end, the two of them walked towards a very desolate main peak.
This main peak was not very majestic. It was only three thousand meters tall. There were dozens of "subordinate peaks" that belonged to it, and many of them were even taller than the main peak.
It was obvious that this was a declining inheritance. This place was very quiet and there was almost no one in sight. The main peak could be said to be a forest of ancient trees and old vines. It was very desolate, as if no one had appeared in a long time.
"Although it is one of the 108 main peaks and represents a powerful inheritance, it seems that it has completely declined. This place is too desolate, and there isn't even a disciple guarding the mountain gate." Ye Fan felt that it was difficult to gain anything.
Ji Ziyue rubbed her little flower face, and then two beams of divine light shot out from her big eyes, almost turning into a tangible substance, and began to sweep across the main peak in front of her.
"In the past, this main peak was incomparably prosperous. Unfortunately, five hundred years ago, the master of this peak fought with the supreme elder of the Yaoguang Holy Land and perished together. The inheritance was almost severed."
"Then why are we still here?" Ye Fan did not understand.
"The 108 main peaks of the Supreme Mystery Sect have never truly lost their inheritance, because each main peak is a natural scripture. Even if it has declined for hundreds or even thousands of years, sooner or later it will flourish again. The scripture will appear and the inheritance will open again. "
"What exactly is here that makes you so interested?"
"Legend has it that this peak has a kind of immortal technique that has unfathomable power, making all the holy lands jealous." Ji Ziyue's eyes lit up.
"Immortal technique?"
"That's right, because it is too mysterious, almost demonic, almost immortal, that is why it is called immortal technique."
"What's so special about it?" Ye Fan was very curious, and felt that this kind of inheritance must be extraordinary.
"If this kind of immortal technique is cultivated and used, it can occasionally increase a person's combat power by several times, or even ten times." Ji Ziyue was very yearning.
This was a mysterious inheritance. When this technique was used, it could sometimes unleash several times the strength of one's body. Although it could only happen occasionally and could not succeed every time, it was still very terrifying. If it was accidentally triggered when fighting against an enemy, it would often cause unimaginable lethality.
"There's such a technique?" Ye Fan was very excited.
"It is said that there was a very mysterious ancient scripture that did not record profound mental cultivation methods. It only recorded nine kinds of secret techniques, and it was as famous as the Dao Scripture, the Void Scripture, and other immortal scriptures. Unfortunately, that ancient scripture was split up, and it was difficult for the nine secret techniques to appear at the same time. They were scattered in all directions, and some of the secret techniques might even disappear forever. Rumor has it that the immortal technique of this main peak was one of the nine secret techniques back then. "
"Just nine secret techniques are comparable to the ancient scriptures of the holy lands …" Ye Fan sucked in a breath of cold air. The inheritance of this main peak was one of the nine secrets, and it had a great origin!
"I hope I can find this secret technique." Divine light circulated in Ji Ziyue's eyes.
"Is this the only secret technique in the Supreme Mystery Sect?"
Ji Ziyue nodded and said, "It is already fate that they were able to obtain a secret technique."
At this moment, it was quiet and desolate. The mountain gate at the foot of the main peak was overgrown with weeds, and it did not look like a celestial mountain at all. On an ancient tree not far away, a few crows cawed loudly and flapped their wings to fly.
The path on the mountain was completely flooded by thorns, and the vegetation was messy. It seemed that no one had cleaned it for a long time.
At this moment, a stooped, trembling old man walked out of a dilapidated palace on the mountain and walked down.
"Are you here to take the test?" His old eyes were turbid as he said, "It's been five hundred years, and the inheritance still hasn't appeared. It's almost severed. I don't know how long it will take. If you come here, you will only be wasting your time."
"We're not afraid. We have plenty of time to wait." Ji Ziyue smiled very sweetly and went forward to support the old man. She was very lively and intelligent.
There were many palaces on the three thousand meter high main peak, but many of them had collapsed. Ancient trees had fallen on them, vines were everywhere, and the weeds in the courtyard were half the height of a person.
"This is almost becoming a wilderness …"
"Yes, the inheritance hasn't appeared. Who would be willing to come here? It's naturally desolate." The old man sighed again and again.
At this moment, more than ten divine rainbows rushed past, flying towards the main peak in front of them. Ye Fan did not expect to see Li Xiaoman again so soon. She was already a Life Spring Realm cultivator and could fly on rainbows.
"The main peak in front is extremely prosperous. You might as well choose the inheritance there instead of this peak," the old man suggested with good intentions.
"We only care about the inheritance of this peak." Ji Ziyue smiled faintly.
The old man nodded with a smile and said, "Good, you have ambition. You must know that the inheritance of this peak is one of the legendary nine secrets. I hope you can obtain it. "
