The Little Junior Brother that Chen Suyun and Gu Wudi were talking about was called Xiao Yang.
More than twenty years ago, Chen Suyun happened to see him under the waterfall of the Nine Mountains and brought him back to the mountain to cultivate.
At that time, Xiao Yang, who was still a baby, was placed in a basket. He was covered in blood and on his last breath, carrying an ancient jade with two ancient words written on it.
It was because of those two ancient words that she knew Xiao Yang's name.
After that, Xiao Yang was pitied by her master, the Second Mountain Master, who felt that he was lonely and had no one to rely on, so he took him in as a disciple.
Xiao Yang became the youngest disciple in the Nine Mountains, and everyone called him the Little Junior Brother.
As for why Xiao Yang was abandoned under the Nine Mountains, it had always been a mystery, and no one knew.
Xiao Yang's background was still a mystery, and some people felt that he carried a deep hatred.
But now, not many people paid attention to it.
In many people's opinion, since he could find the Nine Mountains, it must be fate between him and the Nine Mountains.
In addition, Xiao Yang was likable, hardworking, and talented in cultivation, so he was very likable.
So, as long as the disciples in the Nine Mountains knew him, they would have a good relationship with him.
Chen Suyun and Xiao Yang were also like sisters and mothers.
After all, Xiao Yang was raised by Chen Suyun, and many of the ways of the world and cultivation methods were taught by her personally.
"Daoist, you want to ask Xiao Yang about the Nine Mountains Immortal Seal, right?"
"It's useless for you to ask him. You have to ask Master. Little Junior Brother has only been in the Nine Mountains for more than twenty years. How would he know about these things? "
Seeing Gu Wudi's expression, Chen Suyun frowned and said calmly.
Gu Wudi coveting the Nine Mountains Immortal Seal was no secret in the Nine Mountains.
However, the Second Mountain Master had clearly said that Gu Wudi was not suitable to take over the Nine Mountains Immortal Seal.
Instead, for countless years, only Little Junior Brother Xiao Yang was the most suitable.
Chen Suyun naturally did not doubt her Master's words.
However, Gu Wudi was proud and could not accept that the Nine Mountains Immortal Seal fell into the hands of someone who was not as good as him.
One had to know that the Nine Mountains Immortal Seal was the supreme treasure of the Nine Mountains. It gathered the faith, karmic luck, fate, and so on that the Nine Mountains had accumulated over countless years. It could be said to be mysterious and unfathomable.
Ever since the First Mountain Lord had gone into seclusion, the Second Mountain Lord had been in charge of the Nine Mountains Immortal Seal, maintaining the stability of the Nine Mountains' array formation, the Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth, the Laws of Heaven and Earth, the environment of the Great Dao, and so on.
"Senior-apprentice Sister Suyun, why do you say that? My master said that the Nine Mountains Immortal Seal should be taken over by a virtuous person. Back then, when the Great Mountain Master gave up the Nine Mountains Immortal Seal, it was for the other Mountain Masters to fight over it. My teacher, the Third Mountain Master, was one step behind and lost to the Second Mountain Master. That was how the Great Seal of the Nine Mountains ended up in his hands. "
"Today, how could there be a decision to directly hand over the Nine Mountains Immortal Seal to others without giving their disciples a chance to fight for it? I'm afraid that this method won't convince the public, and I can't accept it either. "
Hearing this, Gu Wu Di's expression was somewhat displeased. He frowned, his heart filled with unwillingness.
If it was a fair duel and he lost to Xiao Yang, then the Nine Mountains Immortal Seal would be taken by Xiao Yang, and he would have nothing to say.
But now, without even giving him a chance to fight, they thought that he wasn't suitable to take over the Nine Mountains Immortal Seal. How could he accept this?
Gu Wudi was prideful and thought highly of himself. He had cultivated in the Nine Mountains for many years, and his cultivation had already caught up with many disciples who had entered before him.
This method was tantamount to thinking that he was inferior to Xiao Yang, who had only entered the Nine Mountains for twenty years.
"This is Master's decision. If you have any opinions, you can tell Master."
"Moreover, your current cultivation has already surpassed Junior Brother's by a lot. If it's a fair decision, then who is fair to? "
Chen Suyun said indifferently, her brow still tightly furrowed.
Gu Wudi was indeed very talented, and could be said to be the most outstanding disciple of the Nine Mountains in recent years.
But he was too arrogant, and always thought that he was invincible. His usual gentle appearance was just a disguise.
"I can suppress my cultivation to the same level as Xiao Yang. If you still think it's unfair, then I can give him a big realm."
"Or if we're in the same realm, he can withstand three of my moves. How about it?"
Gu Wudi's expression was very sinister, and his words were very impolite.
"How many years have you cultivated? How can Junior Brother compare to you in terms of Divine Powers and comprehension of Laws? "
"Originally, it was unfair for you to fight him."
Chen Suyun's expression was still unmoved, and she said indifferently, "And this is Master's decision. It's only useful if you tell him."
After all, she had watched Xiao Yang grow up, so from the bottom of her heart, she was very partial to Xiao Yang.
And now, Gu Wudi was already in the Supreme Realm, and had cultivated for millions of years.
Xiao Yang had only cultivated for twenty years, so how could the two be compared?
"Good, very good."
Gu Wudi's expression was completely gloomy, and he had already torn off the disguise on his face. He said coldly, "In that case, don't blame me."
With that, a golden light appeared under his feet, and he left with the cultivators behind him, unable to hide his anger.
Chen Suyun shook her head, thinking that Gu Wudi was just talking and didn't take it to heart.
Then, she turned into a divine rainbow and left this place, heading towards the Second Mountain.
In the vast clouds, the Azure Cloud Airship broke through the waterfall and flew towards this place, resisting the terrifying pressure. The immortal fog was dense, and the runes flickered, unmoving like a rock.
The Cloud Tomb was also known as the Cloud Tomb of No Return. It was said to be the burial place of all the clouds in the world.
It was easy to get lost in this place, and even cultivators with high cultivation would find it difficult to find the right exit.
Therefore, the Nine Mountains used the Cloud Tomb as a natural barrier to isolate it from the outside world.
However, the Empyrean Deer Mystic Maiden clearly had a special method to pass through this area. Steering the Azure Cloud Airship, they quickly crossed the waterfall.
"It seems that the Nine Mountains are very confident. They don't even have disciples guarding it, and there's no protective array …"
Gu Changge stood on the airship, his white robes and hair dancing in the wind. He looked into the distance, feeling a little strange.
Hearing this, the Empyrean Deer Mystic Maiden nodded. "Because the Nine Mountains know that not many people in this world can find this place."
"Really? Didn't you find me anyway? "
Gu Changge smiled, and then said somewhat mockingly, "Tell me about the enmity between you and the Nine Mountains. I'm suddenly interested."
"Young Master Gu, are you planning to avenge me? I really don't know how to repay you. It's a pity that you don't want my body. "
The Empyrean Deer Mystic Maiden controlled the Azure Cloud Airship as she replied. There was a faint smile on her lips, calm and composed.
However, her words seemed to be mocking. If someone who knew her was here, they would definitely be dumbfounded.
They wouldn't dare to believe that this woman before them was the holy, dignified, and aloof Empyrean Deer Mystic Maiden.
"Why can't I devote myself to you? Even if I can't warm your bed, I can still be your servant." Gu Changge smiled.
The Empyrean Deer Mystic Maiden's smile didn't diminish in the slightest. She said, "I didn't think there would be a day when the great Young Master Gu would be so afraid of me."
As she spoke, she combed the hair in front of her forehead, appearing extremely seductive.
Gu Changge was already very familiar with her repeated seduction.
He knew that the Empyrean Deer Mystic Maiden was doing this on purpose, whether it was because her Dao Heart had changed, revealing her true nature, or because she was pretending.
However, this couldn't hide the fact that he couldn't devour her.
The Empyrean Deer Mystic Maiden wasn't surprised that Gu Changge ignored her. She continued, "Back then, one of my Senior Sisters betrayed Sky Deer City, betrayed me and my Master, and finally came to the Nine Mountains."
She didn't say who that Senior Sister was, but at this time, the more casual she appeared, the more it showed the seriousness of the feud.
Gu Changge was somewhat interested. "Now, that Senior Sister of yours has become the Mountain Master of the Nine Mountains?"
The Empyrean Deer Mystic Maiden shook her head. "Her talent is far inferior to mine. Now, she is at most in the Quasi-emperor realm. The Mountain Master of the Nine Mountains is at least in the Dao Attainment Realm."
"That's a really generous amount of resources." Gu Changge couldn't help but sigh in admiration.
The Empyrean Deer Mystic Maiden glanced at him. Cooperating with such a terrifying person was tantamount to asking a tiger for its skin.
She also didn't know whether her choice at that time was right or wrong.
Soon, the Azure Cloud Flying Ship passed through layers of clouds and mist. Suddenly, an ancient and majestic continent appeared in front of them.
"Who are you?"
Almost instantly, a cultivator there noticed the Azure Cloud Flying Ship and couldn't help but shout, turning into a divine rainbow and flying over.
In this world, only the Azure Cloud Flying Ship could find the Cloud Tomb.
However, before that person could get close, a giant golden palm had already reached out from the Azure Cloud Flying Ship, covering all directions, grabbed him, and brought him over.
This scene alarmed Gu Wudi and the others, who were planning to return to the Second Mountain after falling out with Chen Suyun.
"Who dares to trespass into the Nine Mountains?"
Gu Wudi had been suppressing a lot of anger in his heart and was unable to vent it. Suddenly, he saw someone trespassing into the Nine Mountains and immediately took the initiative to attack.
A wave of golden sword Qi intertwined, gushing out from the weapon in his hand. It was incomparably mighty, slashing towards the Azure Cloud Flying Ship in front of him.
The other cultivators also took out their own techniques. A wave of blazing light flew out, as if a large galaxy was drowning out.
However, on the Azure Cloud Flying Ship, there was still only a giant golden palm that descended, as if it was condensed by golden runes. It was the hand of the Celestial Emperor, capable of suppressing eternity.
Whoosh, whoosh …
All the brilliance was annihilated, instantly turning into ashes.
"What?"
Gu Wudi's expression changed. He didn't expect the person who attacked to be so terrifying. Just one palm was enough to destroy all their techniques.
Moreover, the remaining power did not diminish and was still falling towards them. The skin of the others almost burst open, and blood was already oozing out.
"Stop!"
He snorted coldly, and his aura changed. A true dragon appeared behind him, and primal-chaos mist spread out in all directions. His golden battle armor made him look like a golden god of war, looking down disdainfully at the mortal world.
Gu Wudi displayed the terrifying strength of a Supreme and charged towards the Azure Cloud Flying Ship.
However, the palm did not stop at all. Chaotic Qi filled the air, as if heaven and earth had fallen, directly covering his body with a poof, causing the True Dragon behind him to collapse. He coughed up blood, and his body almost exploded.
"How is this possible …"
Gu Wudi was shocked. Sensing that the situation was not right, he turned around and tried to escape. However, the palm seemed to have turned into a universe in the palm, suppressing him within, making him unable to move.
At this moment, in the deepest part of the continent.
In the majestic and ancient Second Mountain's main hall, the atmosphere was particularly solemn.
The main hall was grand, with white jade as the pillars and colored glass as the roof tiles. A misty immortal light filled the air, just like the legendary Immortal Palace.
A white-robed old man with white hair and a slightly stooped figure was standing there.
He was squinting his eyes and bending his back, saying something to the others in the main hall.
Behind the white-robed old man stood a young man with a delicate face, a tall and straight figure, and a faint green light in his eyes. He seemed to have achieved a high level of cultivation.
"Second Mountain Lord, please forgive me for not agreeing with this decision."
"Now that the Eight Desolates and Ten Regions are in great trouble, and the Upper World's army is pressing in, it is the best time for the disciples of the Nine Mountains to come out, travel the world, and gather faith. How can we seal the mountains because of this?"
"If we miss such a heaven-sent opportunity, we will regret it for life."
Opposite the white-robed old man, a black-robed old man frowned and said with some dissatisfaction.
He had a ruddy complexion and white hair, and his spirit was vigorous. When he opened and closed his eyes, chaotic light filled the air. His cultivation was extremely terrifying. He was the current Third Mountain Lord of the Nine Mountains, and also the Master of Daoist Gu Wudi.
The white-robed old man was the current Second Mountain Lord, and the young man standing behind him was his youngest disciple, Xiao Yang.
There were other Mountain Lords of the Nine Mountains in the main hall, both men and women. Their figures were blurry, and their auras were powerful. Their Qi and blood were like a terrifying cosmic furnace, making people's hearts palpitate.
It could be said that all the strongest people of the Nine Mountains had gathered here.
At this moment, after hearing the Third Mountain Lord's words, the other Mountain Lords all agreed, expressing their dissatisfaction with the Second Mountain Lord's decision to seal the mountains.
Only a small number of people remained silent. They felt that the Second Mountain Lord's decision was not without reason.
"A while ago, I used the Nine Mountains Deity Seal to perform a divination and peered into the River of Time. The result showed that the Nine Mountains are facing a crisis of destruction, and it is imminent. The only solution is to seal the mountains.
"I am doing this for everyone. This time, it is not only a disaster for the Eight Desolates and Ten Regions, but also a disaster for the Nine Mountains."
Hearing this, the Second Mountain Lord could only shake his head and sigh softly. He was somewhat helpless.
"How many times have you said this? Every time the Upper Realm invades, you say that a great disaster is imminent, but in the end, it is all bark and no bite. When have the disciples of the Nine Mountains ever encountered danger?
"Do you know that if we seal the mountains this time, the prestige and faith that the Nine Mountains have accumulated over countless years will disappear? How will the cultivators and living beings of the Eight Desolates and Ten Regions view us? Will they think that we are afraid of the Upper Realm and are retreating? "
When the Third Mountain Lord heard this, he could not help but laugh coldly. He was quite disdainful of the Second Mountain Lord's divination methods.
4.9
As soon as he said this, the great hall instantly fell silent.
Even the Second Mountain Lord opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but in the end, he swallowed his words and sighed.
However, he felt that the situation shown by the divination this time was different from the past, which was why he was so cautious.
However, the others did not believe him.
"Furthermore, this time, I can't agree to your insistence on giving the Nine Mountains Deity Seal to Xiao Yang.
"Wudi is far superior to Xiao Yang in terms of cultivation and ability. Why won't you give him a chance?
"If the Nine Mountains Deity Seal was fought over fairly, I have nothing to say. However, since you are so biased towards your little disciple, I have to fight for Wudi!"
The Third Mountain Lord continued to speak. His eyes shone brightly as he stared at the Second Mountain Lord in front of him. He wanted to seek justice for his disciple.
When the other Mountain Lords heard this, they nodded in agreement.
"Master, the Third Mountain Lord is right. Senior Brother Wudi is far superior to me in terms of cultivation and ability."
"Senior Brother Wudi is more qualified for the Nine Mountains Deity Seal. Furthermore, Senior Brother Wudi is already a Supreme Martial Artist. How can I be his opponent?"
"Therefore, Master, please take back your order. It is more suitable to give the Nine Mountains Deity Seal to Senior Brother Wudi."
At this moment, the young man who had been standing silently behind the Second Mountain Lord suddenly spoke.
He rubbed his nose and laughed bitterly. He looked as if he was not capable enough and had to consider the big picture.
"Xiao Yang, you …"
The Second Mountain Lord turned around and shook his head. He did not say anything.
However, at this moment, the others understood Xiao Yang's words. Their eyes flashed. It sounded like he was being modest, but in reality, he felt that this was unfair to him.
Xiao Yang was not old, but his shrewdness was not simple.
