Jinxu Peak is one of the five peaks in the inner gate of Chunyang Sect. It is controlled by the earth soul god Jinxu Taoist. It surrounds the main peak Yuxu Peak with three peaks, Jingxu, Lingxu and Dongxu.
Qingyun brought Zhou Cheng to the sky. When she arrived at the gate of Jinxu Peak, she pressed the flying divine light and landed in the clouds.
The mountains here are a little steeper and steeper than Yunxia Peak. There are countless abyss streams hidden among the thick white clouds and fog.
Zhou Cheng looked at the tall stone steps that were directly on the clouds and couldn't help asking: "Senior Sister, are we going to go up this step?"
The skillfulness of this step just made Zhou Cheng feel a little numb, not to mention walking from here to the top of Jinxu Peak.
"No." Qingyun shook her head, but before Zhou Cheng was happy, she heard her say again: "It's you who want to go up the steps, I'm not. I'll go to the top of the peak to wait for you."
After saying that, without waiting for Zhou Cheng to react, Qingyun took a step forward, jumped out of the mountain stream, and sank into the endless sea of clouds. Then a green light lit up, the sea of clouds spread out, and the strong wind surging.
It was like a blue whale coming out of the water. A huge blue vase penetrated the sea of clouds, lifted Qingyun up, and then flew straight to the top of Jinxu Peak.
Zhou Cheng stood there in a daze. The way his senior sister left was a bit too cool. Or do we all use weapons to control the weapon in the Yingpo stage?
From the process of flying in the sky just now, Zhou Cheng had learned about Qingyun's cultivation, clicked on Yingpo, condensed the fourth-level magical artifact, and also practiced the "Taixu Wuji Dao" among the two major inheritances of Chunyang Sect. This is already considered a top master of the young generation.
"It's amazing to be able to fly to the sky." Zhou Cheng looked at the huge treasure vase that was leaving, and he completely didn't expect his senior sister.
It seems that he can only climb the steps of countless layers.
Zhou Cheng didn't go to see how many steps there were on the top, so as not to get tired if he was not tired.
"I don't know if there will be any illusion arrays that will be used to test the mind and nature." Zhou Cheng thought as he walked, his mind diverged, thinking about the strange tests that most sects would have in the novels he had read before.
However, after he left for two hours, he didn't think so much. There was no need for any illusion formation. This step alone was a great test for ordinary people.
After two full hours, Zhou Cheng estimated that he had almost walked 100,000 steps, but the stone steps seemed to never see the end. There was always a sea of white clouds ahead, and there was no end at all.
Moreover, the scene around this step has not changed at all. Even though I have walked through hundreds of thousands of steps, the scene next to it is not that big as it was at the beginning.
It was as if I had been standing still, as if the 100,000 levels had gone completely in vain!
Monotonous, boring, unchanging, and unable to see where the goal is. Such a situation is completely a great torment for people with ordinary minds!
"A very good test method, well, it saves effort on body and mind." Zhou Cheng praised in his heart. If the introductory test of Chunyang Sect had such a link, the endless and monotonous stone steps alone would have eliminated many people.
At least Zhou Cheng believes that he would definitely not be able to pass through during the Earth period, but now he is different from the past, in addition to physical strength, and mentality.
He has reasons to stick to and things he must pursue, so-called obsession!
...
The space at the top of Jinxu Peak is not large, and it is even smaller than Kaiyang Peak where the outer gate is located. Therefore, there are not many buildings here. Except for Jinxu Palace, there are scattered other side halls, and Huaizhen Palace is one of them.
At this time, Qingyun was in Huaizhen Palace. A middle-aged Taoist priest wearing a white background and blue patterned Taoist robe stood in front of her. The Taoist priest had a quiet face, his sword eyebrows slightly raised, and his whole body was like an ancient long sword standing there. It was Zhou Cheng’s master Taoist Huaizhen.
In front of them was a light curtain standing in the void, showing the scene of Zhou Cheng climbing the stone steps.
"This guy is good." Taoist Huaizhen looked at the light curtain in front of him, a smile appeared on his face, and he praised him.
"The mind is tough, or a material that can be made." Qingyun looked at Zhou Cheng's face and climbed the stone steps with a firm expression. She was also a little amazed in her heart.
Normally, the mind and nature of outer disciples cannot reach this level.
This stone step is called "Signing the Xuantian Road". It is a fifth-level artifact that can stretch space. Its total length is ten times the height of Jinxu Peak. Only by walking all the stone steps step by step can it be considered to be passed.
This path is not for the first-time disciples, but is specially prepared for those who are at the peak of the spirit stage and want to further click on the Yingpo.
This is used to hone your mind and wisdom, strengthen your spiritual will, and to open up the heroic spirit!
If it is really like Zhou Cheng thought, adding such a link to the introductory test, I am afraid that Chunyang Sect will not even be able to recruit any disciples every time it recruits.
Taoist Huaizhen looked at Zhou Cheng in the light curtain and said, "Half a month ago, the head of the Zhou family in Yingcheng said that he would give me his sixth son a disciple. At that time, he said that he wanted to find a place for the child to settle down. I had a good relationship with him, so I didn't refuse. I didn't expect that the child knew that he was so tenacious, which was a surprise."
Qingyun suddenly said when she heard this: "It turns out that he is a disciple recommended by the aristocratic family. No wonder you said that someone would be considered my junior brother. I think that's the test of 'Wen Daoxin'."
Taoist Huaizhen nodded and said, "The initial neglect tests his 'peaceful mind', and fights with others to test his 'protect the Tao', and is unwilling to be willing to practice and test his 'respectful mind'. The three hearts have been tested. Although his mind may not be excellent, he is also qualified. However, he started with the method of warming the soul power of the immortal way, so he still had to take some guide to the mysterious path."
"The law of immortality has more tempering of mind and nature, and it is indeed necessary to lay the foundation at the beginning." Qingyun nodded and asked with some confusion: "However, why did the head of the Zhou family in Yingcheng send the child to Chunyang for protection? Zhou family has a god and a ninth-level magic weapon. If you use the magic array to assist, you should be fearless and the present."
"The world changes, disasters will begin." Taoist Huaizhen closed his eyes slightly, and he couldn't see what his expression was. He pondered: "Maybe after a while, even the Great Qi and Han Capital may not be peaceful. To be truly safe, you must have your own strength. Qingyuan had only studied in the Han Capital Academy and did not specialize in practicing. Once something happened, it would be difficult to deal with it."
Qingyun frowned slightly when she heard this. She heard some unusual information in the words of Taoist Huaizhen, but with her cold temperament, she would not ask more questions, but just listened quietly there.
Taoist Huaizhen turned his gaze to the light curtain again and said, "Qingyuan has come up, you go and bring him over."
