"The Demon Lord's order." Meng Qi nodded thoughtfully. No wonder Su Junmo went to Sky Beyond to find Yun Qingyan. So it was for this.
"But why isn't he back yet?" Sikong Xing looked around anxiously.
There were already many people in the open space in front of the Ten Extremes Mountain. In just five minutes, there were still people coming.
Meng Qi looked around. There were more and more people, but it was getting quieter.
Not long after, Yan Shunbei also appeared in front of the Ten Extremes Mountain.
As soon as he appeared, everyone became quiet.
Meng Qi looked up at Yan Shunbei from afar. He was wearing a simple black robe. As the sect master of the number one dharma cultivation sect in the Three Thousand Worlds, he did not look overbearing at all.
In addition, Meng Qi thought of what Yun Qingyan said. He was also in charge of the Sky Beyond in the Demon Realm.
He wondered if the Sky Beyond there was similar to the Three Thousand Worlds.
"It's the sect master of Mirrormoon Heaven," Sikong Xing whispered to Meng Qi.
"Yes." Meng Qi nodded.
"Is the person you mentioned last time his son?" Sikong Xing lowered her voice and did not mention Yan Xuan's injury at all.
"Yes."
"He looks very powerful." Sikong Xing looked up at Yan Shunbei. "What a pity."
"By the way, Meng Qi." She was still holding Meng Qi's arm and said, "Su Junmo told me just now that we are itinerant cultivators without sects. It's equivalent to Mirrormoon Heaven specially giving us a spot. So when we enter the Ten Extremes Mountain later, we have to go with the disciples of Mirrormoon Heaven. "
"Yes."
This was good too.
Meng Qi thought of Yan Xuan. It just so happened that they could be together.
As the two of them were talking, a man in a black robe walked over to them. That person's entire body was covered by a cloak. The hood of the cloak was pulled up and covered his entire head.
Meng Qi could only see his lower jaw.
Sikong Xing looked warily at the man who had suddenly appeared beside them.
"Meng Qi." The other party did not remove his cloak and continued to hide Lian in the shadows. He called out to the Meng Qi in a low voice, "Let's go together later."
"Who are you?" Sikong Xing asked.
Meng Qi had already recognized Yan Xuan's voice and hurriedly said to Sikong Xing, "That person you just mentioned."
"Eh?" Sikong Xing was stunned.
Meng Qi raised his hand and pointed at Yan Shunbei who was standing on the high platform in front of Shi Jue Mountain.
The sect master of Jingyue Heaven was talking to the sect masters of the other sects in a low voice. The disciples were scattered around and were a little far away. Meng Qi and the others couldn't hear what he was saying.
Sikong Xing: "…"
Sikong Xing: "!!!"
She hurriedly turned around to look at Yan Xuan, who was standing behind her, his entire body wrapped in a cloak. Her bright eyes were filled with surprise.
Yan Xuan's jaw tightened and he took a step back.
Ever since he was injured, he didn't like to stay in the sect. Whether it was those sympathetic or disdainful gazes, they all made him very uncomfortable.
This was the bottom of Shi Jue Mountain and the people here were the most outstanding disciples of the top ten sects.
Yan Xuan had the reputation of being a genius in the past and had friendly relations with many of these people.
He didn't want to meet these people. Other than being embarrassed, they wouldn't bring him any benefits.
At this moment, Yan Xuan met Sikong Xing's eyes. His eyes covered by the cloak flashed with a trace of coldness.
He didn't know Sikong Xing. His cultivation was only equivalent to a qi disciple, so he couldn't see Sikong Xing's identity and cultivation level.
"This is my friend, Sikong Xing." Meng Qi said to Yan Xuan.
She pulled Sikong Xing's arm again, indicating for him not to stare at Yan Xuan like this. Then she said, "This is Dao friend Yan Xuan."
Her voice was very low.
They were originally at the back of the crowd. Plus, the disciples of the other sects were all gathered together, so no one came to stand with them.
Meng Qi said the words "Yan Xuan" very softly and lightly. Only Sikong Xing could hear it clearly.
"Oh oh oh." Sikong Xing nodded. "I know."
She didn't mention Yan Xuan's name, but her eyes still stared at Yan Xuan without blinking.
"Xingxing." Meng Qi pulled Sikong Xing's sleeve again.
Her good friend was passionate by nature. She knew that she didn't have any ill intentions.
Yan Xuan didn't even stay in his own sect and ran to Mirror Moon Heaven to mingle in the marketplace. It was definitely because he didn't want to be noticed like this.
"I just want to see." Sikong Xing said in a low voice, "Last time they said that they could continue to fight even if their inner cores were damaged. They didn't let go of the crack in the barrier they were guarding. They're really amazing!"
Her eyes were bright, and her face was full of admiration. "I fought with someone before. That person was very strong. With a wave of his sleeve, he beat me until I rolled on the ground. My inner core was shaken … Heavens! "
Sikong Xing's voice was still very low, but her tone was very exaggerated. "I immediately felt dizzy. Don't talk about fighting. I just wanted to lie on the ground and cry. I couldn't even sit up. So … "
She said in a small voice. Her eyes were still bright as she looked at Yan Xuan. "You're really amazing!"
Meng Qi smiled sweetly.
Even the coldness in Yan Xuan's eyes faded a lot.
No one would hate such a compliment, especially from a beautiful and sincere girl.
Yan Xuan was silent for a moment. Then he said indifferently, "It's not that amazing. I still ended up like this."
"When I became Master's disciple, he once asked me." Sikong Xing shook her head and continued, "Why did I become his disciple? Why did I cultivate?"
"What did you say?" Meng Qi was also curious.
"I told Master that it was to become stronger!" Sikong Xing said.
"Everyone wants to become stronger. Everyone also wants to become stronger." Yan Xuan seemed to chuckle. Then he said casually, "But with the Heavenly Dao above, cultivators go against the heavens. There are tribulations and many setbacks. Coupled with the influence of one's talent, there are only a few who can truly become stronger and reach the peak. Who knows how many people have died along the way, but no one knows. "
Meng Qi's heart moved slightly. Actually, Yan Xuan's words were quite in line with her experience.
Moreover, she was even more miserable back then. She died before she could become stronger.
"It's not like that." Sikong Xing shook her head again. "I haven't finished yet."
She paused and put one hand behind her back. Then she continued, "My Master asked me again. Why did I become stronger? I said, I want to protect the people I want to protect. "
She smiled at Yan Xuan. Even though she couldn't see the other's expression, she said seriously, "That's why I want to become stronger. I think Fellow must be the same. You want to protect them. That's why you were able to persist after your neidan was destroyed. "
She didn't say who "they" Yan Xuan was protecting.
Maybe his persistence didn't protect anyone.
Or perhaps, his persistence had protected many, many people in Western Kingdom.
Meng Qi looked at Sikong Xing and then turned to look at Yan Xuan.
Under the cloak, the youth stood tall and dazed. He didn't speak for a long time.
"So Fellow, you are persisting on your path. In the future, you will get better and become stronger." Sikong Xing continued, "You don't have to …"
She pointed at Yan Xuan's cloak. "You don't have to cover yourself like this. Those people who make you unhappy are only because they can't understand your path. You don't have to pay attention to them. My master said that the xiuzun who become especially powerful in the end are the xiuzun who can persist in their own path from the beginning. You are already one of the most, most … most powerful of those people! "
"… … Thank you," Yan Xuan said softly after a long while.
Meng Qi smiled at him. Holding hands with Sikong Xing, she turned around and continued to look at Yan Shunbei.
Behind them, the black-robed youth still didn't take off the hood of his cloak.
It was just that the enmity he had towards Sikong Xing had ultimately dissipated by quite a bit.
The low and deep sound of the bell rang after the time it took for an incense stick to burn.
The sound was distant and could almost spread through all of Mirror Moon Heaven.
The area in front of Ten Extreme Mountain became quiet. The sect leaders of the ten major sects of the four jie had all returned to their sects.
Yan Shunbei took a step forward and said, "This old man is the sect leader of Mirror Moon Heaven and has guarded Ten Extreme Mountain for the four jie for almost ten thousand years. Now, it is time for Ten Extreme Mountain to open once every ten years. "
He paused and then slowly said, "This year, it is not just Ten Extreme Mountain that opens once every ten years, but also once every hundred years, once every thousand years, and … …"
He looked around. While his voice was not loud, it clearly reached the ears of everyone present. "Once every ten thousand years."
None of the xiuzhe spoke. Meng Qi and Sikong Xing also listened silently.
"According to past experience, every time Ten Extreme Mountain opens once every hundred years, once every thousand years, it will be more dangerous than usual. This is the first time it opens once every ten thousand years. The danger is self-evident. Friends, you can choose whether to enter Ten Extreme Mountain or not. "
Yan Shunbei explained the whole matter clearly with a few simple words.
After speaking, he retreated to the side as though he was not willing to speak more.
The area in front of Ten Extreme Mountain became noisy again. It could be assumed that it was the first time many of the sects had heard of this.
The enormous plaza in front of Ten Extreme Mountain was noisy. The ten major sects of the four jie would always change every hundred years.
Some sects might decline, some new sects would continuously produce a few genius disciples, and would rise strongly.
Sects like Heavenly Sea Pavilion became stronger day by day after obtaining the lost inheritance. Finally, they also became one of the ten major sects of the North Jie this time.
Therefore, among these people, it was probably the first time some of them heard of this.
Meng Qi stood there silently. No matter what, it had nothing to do with her. She had to go.
She retracted her consciousness and scanned her own spiritual sea.
In her spiritual sea, the Five Spirit Cauldron was still floating. The inner core slowly rotated. Threads of ling energy first entered the Five Spirit Cauldron, and then fell into Meng Qi's spiritual sea.
The bamboo scroll that Lin Yan left for her was wrapped in ling energy.
Right now, she still could not see some of the contents, but she had already memorized the parts that she could see.
Meng Qi quietly waited for those people to finish discussing.
Not only her, Yan Xuan and Sikong Xing also did not speak.
Those sects with long inheritances also did not have many people speaking. Comparing opportunities was always accompanied by risks.
Moreover, the sect leaders who were able to come here had all participated in the auction of the Sky Floating Island.
Although most of them did not manage to buy the jade scroll to Sky Beyond Heaven, who knew what would happen next if they could enter the Ten Extremes Mountain?
Even if those sects who bought the jade scroll ate the meat, they might still be able to get a share of the soup.
Therefore, the square was noisy for a while, and a sect leader said, "Thank you for your kindness, Sect Leader Yan, but since everyone is already here, and we're all cultivators, there's no reason to turn and run when we hear danger. Haha, hahaha. "
His forthright laughter was indeed echoed by a group of people. Soon, someone else said, "Yes, Sect Leader Yan, we've already thought about it. We won't hesitate or be afraid."
Some sect leaders even said, "Since this is a grand opening that only happens once every ten thousand years, then we have to go in and take a look. If we return empty-handed, I'm afraid we'll regret it. "
"Sect Leader Yan, don't dissuade us." At this moment, a lazy voice came from the crowd.
A middle-aged male cultivator in a green robe strode to the center of the square. It was Ling Ji.
There were many people here who knew Ling Ji, and someone immediately greeted him.
Ling Ji returned the greeting and strode to Yan Shunbei's side. "Open it, open it. Don't wait. The earlier we climb the mountain, the earlier we can finish and the earlier we can go home. If these children move faster, they might be able to make it in time for this year's Longevity Festival. "
There was a burst of laughter in the crowd. When Ling Ji told a joke, people would support him no matter how cold he was.
"Oh right, where's Meng Qi?" Ling Ji was already standing beside Yan Shunbei. He was already taller than everyone else.
He immediately looked around, looking for Meng Qi in the crowd.
Meng Qi was startled. She had never thought that this Senior Ling Ji would actually openly search for her in front of so many people.
"Meng Qi." Ling Ji's eyesight was so good that he quickly found her.
The crowd did not see him move. They only saw a green shadow flash, and he landed in front of Meng Qi.
"Are you ready?" Ling Ji asked.
There were at least a thousand xiuzhe in the entire square.
At this time, everyone's eyes were focused on Meng Qi.
"En." Meng Qi nodded dazedly.
"It's fine. Climb hard when you go in. If you can't climb anymore, find a place to rest. Then when the Ten Extremes Mountain closes, you can come out."
As Ling Ji spoke, he raised his right hand.
His eyes looked at Meng Qi's eyes. His slender right hand stopped in the air and seemed to tremble slightly.
Then Meng Qi felt a weight on her head. Ling Ji's hand came down and pressed on her hair. "I'll wait here."
He smiled slightly at Meng Qi, but there was faint worry in the depths of his eyes.
The entire square was still silent.
Everyone looked dazedly at this scene as if they were seeing something out of a fantasy.
Everyone knew Ling Ji of the Broken Space Sect.
The most talented sword xiu of the previous generation. The Ling Ji who once created miracles and ignored the dangers of the Fallen Star Sea, killing his way in and out several times.
He was also the Ling Ji who was used to being idle like a wild crane.
From how he brazenly snatched the position of sect leader of the Broken Space Sect from his shixiong, some people guessed that the sky of Broken Space City was about to change.
That Ling Ji who seemed to have lived in seclusion for eighteen years and did not care about worldly affairs, reappeared in everyone's eyes with such a valiant posture. Everyone was guessing why.
Everyone looked dazedly at the scene in front of them.
So Ling Ji and Meng Qi … … what the hell was this?!
Wasn't the Broken Space Sect looking for this female xiu before?
Ling Ji and Meng Qi, he … … he … …
Everyone had a head full of questions, but no one dared to ask Ling Ji.
If you want to ask him, you have to ask the sword in his hand first, okay?
Ling Ji's sword, how many people dared to take its edge?!
At this time, some people gradually came to their senses.
Ling Ji said to Meng Qi that he would wait for her here.
So if Meng Qi did not come out, what would Ling Ji do?
Some people's expressions changed instantly, but some people showed a faint smile on their faces.
"… … Okay." Meng Qi was stunned for a moment, but still nodded and said in a low voice that only the two of them could hear, "Thank you, Senior."
"Since everyone is ready, then … …"
As Yan Shunbei spoke, he slowly raised his hand.
Behind him, a bright moon rose up along with his movements.
If it wasn't for the fact that the sky was already dark and the moon was already rising, Meng Qi would almost think that it was the moon in the sky.
Sikong Xing stood closer to her and held Meng Qi's hand tighter.
Both of them felt the sweat and nervousness in each other's palms. Yan Xuan said in a low voice, "This is the Mirror Moon that I passed down from ancient times."
He looked up at the bright moon that was slowly rising with his father's hand. The moonlight poured down like water, enveloping everyone in the square.
Meng Qi felt a clear feeling sweep through her limbs and even her spiritual sea, making her feel very comfortable.
It was as if the moonlight had touched her, and even her spiritual qi had become more condensed.
Yan Xuan quietly looked at this scene that he was not unfamiliar with at all.
When he was a teenager, although his father did not let him in when the Ten Extremes Mountain was opened, he secretly came to the square to watch once.
However, there were not so many people at that time. Vaguely, he felt that some things in the trichiliocosm had changed after all.
"After you go in …" Yan Xuan said and stuffed a small jade pendant into Meng Qi's palm, "Hold it and don't put it in the storage brocade bag. This way, even if we are separated, I can still find you."
"Okay." Meng Qi clenched the jade pendant tightly.
The bright moon rose higher and higher, but the moonlight gradually faded away.
Soon, the cultivators who were standing at the front disappeared as the moonlight faded away.
Meng Qi saw Xue Chengxuan and his sister, Qin Xiumo, then Li Che, who was with her from the Cang Lang Academy, and Chu Tianfeng, who was standing beside her father …
There were originally many people in the square, and each sect could only send three people in.
Now that there were less than a hundred people, even if it did not seem empty, it was not as lively as before.
The moonlight faded faster and faster, and soon it reached Meng Qi.
She lowered her head and watched the moonlight brush past her fingers, her arms, and finally completely fade away.
Meng Qi's vision also gradually darkened as the moonlight left.
Finally, she only felt that her vision was black, and her surroundings seemed to have become empty. The mountain wind blew her hair, and Meng Qi's body swayed again, and her feet had already stepped on the ground.
She quickly opened her eyes and found that she was standing on a grassland. In the distance, the majestic green mountain towered into the clouds and pierced the sky, as if it had split this place into two halves.
Was that the Ten Extremes Mountain?
Meng Qi stared at it for a long time. When she saw it at the Mirroring Moon Sky Sect, she did not feel that the Ten Extremes Mountain was so majestic.
Because after leaving the Ten Extremes Mountain, no one knew what happened here, so before the cultivators entered here, they did not know how to climb this mountain.
The only thing those cultivators who left here remembered was whether they had reached the top or not.
Meng Qi looked around, but did not see Sikong Xing and the others.
They originally thought that after entering the Ten Extremes Mountain, they would be at the foot of the mountain, and then climb up together.
They did not expect this place to be so big.
She looked into the distance, this grassland was very vast, and she could not see the end at a glance.
So this time, there were only a hundred or so people who came in, it seemed that everyone was sent to different places.
Meng Qi lowered her head and looked at her palm, the small jade pendant was still there.
Yan Xuan said not to put it in the storage brocade pouch, so she hung it on her belt, and then walked towards the Ten Extremes Mountain.
Meng Qi had just taken a step forward when a grand and deep voice suddenly sounded beside her ear.
That voice seemed to come from the ancient times, distant and empty: "Little friend, stop."
Meng Qi obeyed and stopped.
She looked around, but still did not see anyone.
"From here to the Ten Extremes Mountain, there is a total of one hundred li." That voice continued: "The entrance to the Ten Extremes Mountain is already closed, there are a total of one hundred and thirty people entering the Ten Extremes Mountain this time, and they will be ranked according to the time taken to pass through this one hundred li. The Ten Extremes Mountain is also one hundred li high, the cultivator ranked first can directly climb halfway up the mountain. The rest of the cultivators will appear on the Ten Extremes Mountain according to their ranking. The last cultivator will land at the foot of the mountain, do you understand? "
"Yes." Meng Qi responded.
"Remember, the shorter the time taken, the better." That voice said again.
"Junior understands, thank you, Senior." Meng Qi did not know who was speaking, so she simply bowed with her hands folded in front of her.
It seemed that Yan Xuan would not be able to meet up with her. She just did not know if he could pass through this one hundred li.
"Senior." Meng Qi saw that the voice did not speak anymore, and bowed again. "Junior has a companion, although he is an Insightful Emptiness Realm cultivator, he is only at the Qi Disciple Realm now, may I ask if he also wants to pass through this one hundred li grassland?"
"Of course." That voice said: "Little friend, there is no need to worry, this one hundred li is not meant to stump everyone, everyone can pass through, the problems you encounter are also problems that you can solve now."
Tomato novel
"Alright, thank you, Senior." Meng Qi bowed for the last time.
"You may begin." That voice said again.
Meng Qi took a deep breath, and reached out to touch her storage brocade pouch.
She could use her storage brocade pouch here, she had already tried it earlier, and even the magic weapons she bought could be taken out at will.
In other words, the Ten Extremes Mountain did not restrict the methods one could use, only the results.
After Meng Qi understood all of this, he strode forward.
She had just taken a step when the scenery in front of her suddenly changed.
Just a moment ago, it was still a scene of green grass, flourishing and thriving. Now, Meng Qi was standing by a swamp.
The water in the swamp was very muddy, and it emitted a strange smell.
A gray mist pervaded the swamp, and in the mist, there were green and lustrous dots of light, which looked very frightening.
It seemed that this was the beginning of the test.
She looked into the distance, and could see that there was a road in the middle of the swamp that led straight ahead. It was more appropriate to call it a single-plank bridge than a road.
It was a road paved with narrow and thin planks, and it looked very dangerous.
Meng Qi took out a handful of medicinal herbs from her storage brocade pouch, and with a wave of her finger, the Five Spirit Cauldron flew out of her spirit sea.
She threw those medicinal herbs into the Five Spirit Cauldron, and with a light flick of her finger, a handful of Grade-8 spirit stones were embedded under the Five Spirit Cauldron.
The spirit stones emitted a faint light, and the Five Spirit Cauldron began to churn.
In almost the blink of an eye, the medicinal fragrance overflowed from the Five Spirit Cauldron.
Meng Qi took a step forward, and her natal magic weapon naturally had some tacit understanding with her.
The Five Spirit Cauldron immediately flew above her head, and the medicinal fragrance inside rolled and seeped out, completely enveloping Meng Qi.
