The stone steps were covered with moss, and the path was secluded. When Sun Wu walked in the mountains, he lost sight of the Yuxu Palace. He really felt like he did not know the true face of Lushan Mountain. A solemn feeling arose in him.
After walking for a long time, the young Sun Wu's legs were sore. At this moment, his eyes lit up. The simple Ancient Daoist Temple at the foot of the mountain finally appeared at the end of his sight. It was bathed in golden light and hidden among the trees.
Sun Wu tidied up his clothes and took a step in that direction. Then, he saw four colors of red, green, black, and white rising from the Taoist Temple. The surrounding Earth, Fire, Wind, and Water seemed to be boiling, making his skin hot and bright, dry and wet.
It was as if the Yuxu Palace finally showed some signs of immortals.
After walking for a while, the red, green, black, and white lights around the Taoist Temple turned into a whirlpool and collapsed toward the core. It seemed to return to chaos and contained infinity.
Another step. Sun Wu saw the Taoist Temple suddenly turn dark. The void around it was wriggling and twisting as if it had its own spirituality. The originally constant distance was sometimes close and sometimes far away.
The illusion collapsed and seemed to turn into a thin piece of paper. The thin paper curled and condensed into a dot. After leaving the Yuxu Palace, the darkness returned to normal and the sunlight shone again.
Sun Wu's forehead was covered in sweat. He could not understand why such a scene would happen.
After a few more steps, he felt that the Ancient Daoist Temple seemed to have become heavy. It seemed to have become one with the whole mountain range, the Great Zhou Dynasty, and the boundless land. It was hard to shake anymore. His body became heavier as he walked, as if he was bearing more and more of the earth's suction force.
After a few breaths, Sun Wu's footsteps became light. The binding force and suction force disappeared and the Yuxu Palace seemed to have returned to normal.
Just as he heaved a sigh of relief, the cloudless blue sky collapsed with a loud rumble. The void split open, and the wind raged wildly. The surroundings became completely dark, and the heaviness came again. His body felt like it was about to be crushed into meat paste. It was a scene of doomsday.
After a short period of darkness, Sun Wu's perception returned. The Taoist Temple was still the Taoist Temple and the sky was still the same. Nothing had changed.
What was going on? Was it the entrance test? Confused, Sun Wu quickened his pace.
Just when he was about to reach the Yuxu Palace, a hazy purple gas rose from the Taoist Temple, expanding and contracting.
Thump, thump, thump! Sun Wu heard his own heart beating so violently and strangely, as if it was about to jump out of his chest and fly out of his throat.
Thump, thump, thump! His blood rushed. Sun Wu's head. His head was swollen and his legs were swollen. His vision turned red.
At this moment, the purple light dissipated, and the mist was absorbed by the vortex that had appeared out of nowhere. Sun Wu's heartbeat immediately returned to normal.
A cool breeze caressed his face and blew through the leaves, emitting a tranquil sound. He came back to his senses and found himself standing at the entrance of the Hollow Jade Temple. A strange green plant stood beside him.
"We're finally here …" Sun Wu let out a long sigh.
As soon as he finished speaking, a smiling voice was heard.
"The Sect Master is waiting for you."
Sun Wu was shocked. He looked toward the direction of the voice and saw the plant waving its branches, coming to life.
Strange … Sun Wu almost shouted. Fortunately, he had a lot of experience in his previous life. He had seen many ghouls and monsters, so he did not show his fear.
He forced a smile and said, "Thank you for leading the way, Senior."
Daqinggen smiled, "Haha, you don't have to call me Senior. I'm just a small gatekeeper of the Yuxu Palace. Back then, I listened to Heavenly Lord Yuanshi. Now, I'm in charge of Yuxu's express delivery. Occasionally, I manage some of the functions of the Myriad World Knowledge Ball. I'll have to call you Young Master in the future."
It held its head high and spoke of its proud deeds. It wanted to establish an image of Yuxu's elder and predecessor in front of the newcomers.
"Of course not, of course not. I'll have to trouble you in the future." Sun Wu was not a ten-year-old child on the surface. He was experienced and sophisticated, so he went with the flow and called him Senior.
The Yuxu Palace was really a holy land for immortals. It had lived for tens of thousands of years as gatekeepers!
Daqinggen became more and more proud. It led Sun Wu through the gate, through the patio, and arrived at the door of the hall. A thin black dog with shiny and smooth fur was squatting there, looking at them curiously.
Being stared at by that pair of dog eyes, Sun Wu immediately felt a sense of fear. It was not that the other party had evil intentions, but it was a natural and instinctive fear. It was like a mortal approaching a fierce tiger, or a martial artist encountering a zombie king.
This must be the Celestial Hound that made a name for itself in the battle of the Heaven Conferring Platform? Even the Future Buddha felt like he was bitten by a dog!
He was a genuine mighty person of the Legendary Realm. In today's world, many masters and powerhouses that he had to look up to were evaluated as worse than dogs because of this …
The Celestial Hound squatted with great momentum. When Sun Wu approached, it suddenly barked,
"You have to call me Senior!"
I'm the combat partner of the third generation of disciples in Yuxu. You're the disciple of Youngest Uncle, so we're of the same generation.
Sun Wu shivered at first, then he said joyfully, "Greetings, Senior Brother Celestial."
Directly having a mighty person of the Legendary Realm as his Senior, the imposing manner of the Yuxu Palace was evident!
Upon entering the hall, he first saw the solemn, majestic, and imposing statue of the Heavenly Lord Yuanshi, as well as Mengqi, who was sitting cross-legged below the statue. He looked deep and unfathomable, as if he was another Heavenly Lord.
He was wearing a Taoist robe and a Fan Cloud Crown. His hands were casually placed on his knees. He did not speak or move, but it was as if he was at an infinitely high place, overlooking everything in the world.
He was no longer the Su Meng of the past … The memories of Sun Wu's previous life surged, and it was difficult to see the shadow of the Frenzied Blade Su Meng on the face of the Primitive Emperor Celestial. His appearance had not changed, but his aura had.
He was already the strongest person under the Creation Realm, the first person to achieve the Legendary Realm after the Middle Ages, and the leader of the Ancient Celestial Holy Land Yuxu Palace. He was not a young man who teamed up with Sun Wu to take risks and complete the Samsara task.
In the midst of his thoughts, Sun Wu's rationality won over his emotions. He took a deep breath and sealed the memories of the past in the depths of his mind. He knelt on the ground and paid his respects,
"Disciple Sun Wu greets Master!"
From now on, there would no longer be Luo Shengyi in front of the Primitive Emperor, but only his disciple, Sun Wu!
Mengqi nodded slightly, and a smile appeared on his face,
"You and I had a relationship in the previous life, so I led you into this door."
"Those who enter the Yuxu Palace need to abide by seven commandments. First, do not deceive the master or destroy the ancestors. Second, do not do evil. Third … if there is any violation, don't blame me for personally punishing you. Are you willing to abide by the above commandments?"
Sun Wu kowtowed again and said solemnly,
"I am willing to abide by them."
"Very good. You will be considered to have officially entered the sect after kowtowing three times and nine times to the statue of the founder, Heavenly Lord Yuanshi, and me," Mengqi said with a smile.
Sun Wu took another deep breath and felt that his life had changed. He solemnly and solemnly began to kowtow three times and nine times.
Dong!
He Mu rang the ancient bell in the main hall, and his figure flew up to the sky.
Dong!
The sound of the bell reverberated, and the mist rolled again. The magnificent Ancient Daoist Temple in the eyes of the people at the foot of the mountain was once again covered by the clouds.
"Congratulations, Master Sun," "Congratulations, Master Sun," many faces looked at Sun Wu's father with either sincere or hidden envy and jealousy.
Master Sun stroked his beard and beamed with joy, unable to maintain his composure.
In the main hall of the Yuxu Palace, Mengqi pointed at He Mu who was ringing the bell,
"This is your Eldest Senior Brother He Mu, who has now become a Great Guru and is only one step away from Dharmakaya."
Then he pointed at the three people sitting on both sides and said, "This is your Second Senior Sister Fang Huayin, who is also a Great Guru. Third Senior Brother Yu Banshan, who has just become a guru. You should get to know him well in the future. Fourth Senior Sister Qi Jinxiu, a Peerless Master."
The vision that Sun Wu saw just now was the result of Mengqi refining and sublimating the Four Elephants Seal, the Seal of Void, the Seal of Fifth and Sixth, the Seal of Fan Tian, and the Yuan Xin Seal into the Infinite Chaos. Even the four sword arts of the Fairy Slaying Sword Formation were partially integrated into the meaning of the final, hence the vision appeared.
Sun Wu looked over and saw that the Eldest Brother, He Mu, was refreshing and had the temperament of a well-read scholar. The Second Sister, Fang Huayin, had a slightly stiff face, but it complemented her determination and decisiveness, so she did not look ugly. Both of them were well-known figures in the Terrestrial Rankings in Jianghu.
Third Senior Brother Yu Banshan looked like an elegant young master, but in fact, he was mature and steady. Fourth Senior Sister Qi Jinxiu was a beautiful woman dressed in palace attire, gentle and elegant.
After greeting them one by one, he sat down again and heard his master, the Primitive Emperor, say,
"There are two fundamental exercises in our sect, one is the Premier Golden Scripture, and the other is the Arts of Eight-Nine. Which one do you want to practice, or both?"
Various scenes and wishes of the previous life appeared in Sun Wu's mind, and he said in a deep voice,
"Don't be greedy, I want to learn the Arts of Eight-Nine."
The Arts of Eight-Nine was invincible, had infinite strength, and had many changes, which was a good match for his favorite path of invincible iron fist.
"Not bad." Mengqi praised and said casually, "In my Taoist temple, you don't have to be too restrained. Your senior brothers and sisters are easy to get along with. Do you have any doubts along the way?"
Sun Wu thought for a while and smiled, "Our sect is the holy land of celestials. I thought I would see celestial birds flying, auspicious beasts coming and going, Taoist children serving me, and strong men doing their work. Who knew that it would be so natural."
Mengqi shook his head and laughed, "Why pursue the appearance? Big Green Root will handle the trivial matters, you and your brothers can just help out. Alright, all of you go and work hard. "
…
After a few days, there was suddenly an additional reward in the Myriad World Mall:
"I'm looking for young celestial birds and auspicious beasts with the corresponding bloodline at a high price!"
…
When Sun Wu began to practice, the Celestial Hound was called into the quiet room by Mengqi.
"Little Uncle-Master, what can I do for you?" The Celestial Hound squatted down.
Mengqi nodded and said,
"Take my decree and infiltrate the Nether World. Take a look at the current situation."
The Emperor of Feng Du was dead, and the Netherworld had lost its master. There would definitely be turbulent waves and fights, so he had to plan early.
