After entering the Feiyu Kenshū Sect's forbidden grounds to meet Martial Uncle Wuling, he did not expect to be tested. The method of the test was very simple. It was to walk up the mountain path with one's own strength.
As an array master, Yi Tian originally scoffed at this. This array was not an ancient array, but it would gradually increase the burden on one's body. However, looking up, there were at least ten thousand steps from the foot of the forbidden grounds to the top of the mountain. If one really relied on one's own strength to reach the top of the mountain, the stress on one's body would be extraordinary.
However, Martial Uncle Wuling seemed to have seen through his plan. He even said that he would not be able to crack the array with ingenuity. He would only receive him if he walked up step by step with real strength.
Yi Tian had no choice but to follow the rules. He circulated the spiritual energy in his body and walked up the mountain path. After walking for less than two hours, he arrived at an open space halfway up the mountain. Yi Tian found a pavilion in front of him. Outside the pavilion was a stone tablet with some words carved on it.
Walking forward, the first thing that caught his eye was his Senior Brother Ji Xuanyuan's name. After reading it, Yi Tian learned that his Senior Brother had spent eighteen hours to reach here. However, his cultivation level was only at the early stage of the Unification Stage back then. As a late stage Unification Stage cultivator, it was reasonable for him to spend less than two hours to reach here.
Looking down, there were words left behind by Lu Jianling. Back then, he had spent an entire day to reach here. As for Sheng Zhuangxiong's name, it was engraved in the third place. It said that he had taken thirty hours.
With a smile, Yi Tian took out his Taiyuan Wood Sword. He injected spiritual energy into it and used it as a pen to write on the stone tablet. After ten breaths of time, he finished writing and looked at it with a smile on his face.
It said, "Li Fire Sect's Yi Tian walked forty-five minutes to reach here." Then, he put away his spiritual sword, turned around, and continued walking past the pavilion. This pavilion was originally meant for people to rest in the middle of their journey. However, Yi Tian found that he had used up most of his spiritual energy and no longer needed it.
The higher they went, the more rugged the mountain path became. The stone steps in front of them were only two feet wide, but the pressure on their bodies was a thousand times greater than when they first started at the foot of the mountain.
However, this did not seem to affect Yi Tian too much. As he walked, his skin glowed with a faint golden luster. Yi Tian unconsciously used the Buddhist Sect's Golden Sun Body Art. With the support of the body art, the weight on his body was once again lightened, and his footsteps naturally sped up by 30%.
When they were less than a quarter of the way to the top of the mountain, another temporary resting place appeared in front of them. There was also a stone tablet erected on top of it. Yi Tian walked up to it and swept his gaze over it. He discovered that it recorded that Senior Martial Brother Ji Xuanyuan had spent forty hours to reach this place.
As for Lu Jianling, he had spent less than six hours. As for Lu Jianling, he had spent a total of thirty-two hours. However, Yi Tian did not see Sheng Zhuangxiong's name on the list. He felt sorry for Sheng Zhuangxiong as he thought, 'I guess he didn't even reach the end of the list. It seems like it won't be easy to see Wuling's real body.
Yi Tian walked up and copied his name and the time he had spent on the stone tablet. After that, he once again quickened his pace towards the top of the mountain.
The further he went, the heavier the burden on his body became. When Yi Tian reached the last few steps, he felt that the gravity on his body was at least ten thousand times heavier than normal. After spending less than eight hours, Yi Tian finally reached the top of the mountain. When he stopped, he swept his gaze across and saw that this place was only half a mile in radius.
In the middle of the mountain, there was a thatched cottage. A cultivator in his forties was sitting cross-legged in the front yard, wearing a Daoist robe. The mountain peak was surrounded by a forest of strange stones. However, there were fine sword marks on them. Yi Tian spread out his spiritual sense and swept it over. After three breaths, he could not help but gasp.
These sword marks seemed ordinary. However, regardless of the depth or width, they were almost exactly the same. Speaking of which, these sword marks were left at different times. However, it was not easy to control the strength of these sword marks so perfectly.
If he wanted to do this, he could do it. However, if he used all his strength, there would always be some places where he could not control the thousands of sword silks. Needless to say, these were the marks left behind by Martial Uncle Wu Ling. In comparison, there was still a big gap in the path of Sword Dao.
Yi Tian walked up to the thatched cottage and only stopped when he reached the courtyard. He cupped his hands and bowed three times before saying, "Disciple Yi Tian greets Martial Uncle Wu Ling."
With a creak, the door of the thatched cottage opened automatically. Wu Ling, who was sitting cross-legged in the front yard, said, "Come in."
Hearing this, Yi Tian walked into the garden and closed the door. He turned around and bowed again in front of Wu Ling. Then, he found an empty seat in front of him and sat down.
After a while, Wu Ling opened his eyes and looked at him before saying, "Yi Tian, you secretly learned my Feiyu Kenshū Sect's Spirit Brilliance Thousand Transformation Technique. How do you judge this matter?"
In the end, this matter had to be explained clearly. Yi Tian knew that he could not avoid it this time. Therefore, he had already thought of a countermeasure. The key was to see Martial Uncle Wu Ling's attitude towards this matter. It seemed that there was no harm in doing so. If he really wanted to pursue this matter, he would not have allowed Meng Qi to enter his cultivation grounds.
Although he knew what he was thinking, he still put on a respectful face and replied, "Back then, disciple was forced by Ou Jinglong. I had no choice but to protect myself and obtain the entire set of cultivation techniques. Speaking of which, I did not dare to act rashly back then. Furthermore, this Spirit Brilliance Thousand Transformation Technique is a secret technique passed down from the upper sect. At that time, I was already the successor of the Li Fire Sect and was also a disciple of the Taiqing Pavilion. Master's original intention was for me to learn more about the strengths of other sects. Therefore, I had the opportunity to study the Feiyu Kenshū Sect's secret technique. It was not considered stealing. "
Wu Ling smiled and said, "I finally know why Wu Ye took a fancy to you and made you his successor. Your personality is very similar to his."
Hearing this, Yi Tian knew that this matter had more or less been covered up. Martial Uncle Wu Ling did not mean to make things difficult for him. Furthermore, with his current status, there was no need for him to pursue the matter. Even the death of a Deity Transformation Stage disciple with potential was nothing compared to the death of a Body Integration Stage cultivator.
Then, Wu Ling said, "Then show me the Spirit Brilliance Thousand Transformation Technique."
Although he knew that Wu Ling was testing him, Yi Tian was overjoyed. Wu Ling was prepared to give him a few pointers. Today's ceremony was carried out according to the ancestral rules. In the end, it was giving face to the Feiyu Kenshū Sect. As a Martial Uncle, it was not right for him to be stingy. However, as a Body Integration cultivator, he did not lack anything. Giving a few pointers could be considered as a form of support in return.
After thinking about it, Yi Tian hurriedly replied, "If that's the case, disciple will embarrass himself."
