For the outer peak disciples, the outer peak test every ten years is a matter of fate. Before entering the sect, every disciple of Yunxiao is repeatedly reminded of the idea of "not being lazy" and practices day and night for the opportunity to prove himself once every ten years.
In the outer peak test, one hundred people are selected from the seventy-two peaks, and then the remaining thirty-three elders are selected after the three main peaks of Wenqing Peak, Changji Peak and Tianqian Peak are removed from the inner peaks.
Whether you can enter depends on luck. Like last time, no one from the outer peak entered the inner peak.
The head of Zhongnan Peak frowned and said, "Isn't this too hasty?"
Pei Jing said: "Not in a hurry."
He turned around and walked towards the high main seat of the Tianqian Palace, his sleeves like a handful of snow, and ordered: "Go and tell the masters of the seventy-two peaks to come to the Tianqian Palace."
The leader of Zhongnan Peak was slightly stunned, but he did not dare to refute him. He nodded respectfully: "Yes."
She went out.
Pei Jing stood in front of the headmaster's seat, and pressed his finger on the delicate mechanism on the seat handle. With a crisp sound, a white jade bead wrapped with purple sword energy slowly rose from behind the seat. The jade bead was shining, and the purple energy was deep and vast. It was the core of the entire Yunxiao Mountain Protection Formation, and only the successors of Tianqian Peak could summon it. At the same time, it was also a magic weapon used by the headmaster to convey orders.
Pei Jing had met Yunxiao Zhenren twice in Changtian Secret Realm and Xuanqiao, and had received his approval, so this bead was also very close to him. The purple light wave gently wrapped around the fingertips, reflecting some warmth on Pei Jing's serious and cold eyebrows.
"As the temporary leader, the first thing I did when I used the Purple Jade Bead to order the entire sect was to conduct the outer peak test. My master might scold me." Pei Jing felt a little relieved, his lips curled up, but his eyes were full of deep thought: "But, we must lure him out."
He injected a trace of ice-blue spiritual energy into the purple jade bead.
Instantly a clear whistle was heard, shocking everyone.
Like a long sword coming out of its sheath, like a dragon entering the sea. The towering Tianqian Peak, with the main hall in the center, spreads a circle of purple light, ancient and profound, spreading outward, covering the 108 peaks. The inner peaks are either palaces with heavy lights, or caves with few people, or exquisite and simple. The white-haired old man opened his eyes, the gentle young man stopped writing, the lamp in the palm of the enchanting female cultivator went out, and everyone's eyes looked in one direction - the center, Tianqian Peak.
All the masters of the inner peaks were at the middle or late stage of the Golden Core, or even at the Great Perfection, just one step away from the Nascent Soul. Some were in seclusion or traveling, but they would leave their own disciples to take charge of all matters within the sect, including summons from the headmaster. As the purple light shone over, the deep sword intent dispelled the darkness of the night.
The head of Feihong Peak, one of the thirty-six inner peaks, walked out holding a lamp. A trace of surprise flashed across the ageless and charming face of the purple-clothed woman, and she opened her red lips slightly: "Pei Yuzhi?"
When all the ordinary disciples of Yunxiao closed their eyes to cultivate, the masters of the thirty-six inner peaks woke up. At the same time, the masters of the seventy-two outer peaks also received orders from Tianqian Peak.
The moment the purple jade bead was activated, a ripple appeared on the mirror stand that had been calm all along. Pei Jing retracted his hand and walked to the center of the main hall. He actually activated the array eye to transmit the order so that the master could sense it. As expected, the master, who had not appeared since he left him the words "return to nature" last time, appeared on the square pond in the center of the hall in a rage this time.
He was dressed in a dark green brocade robe, with white hair and eyebrows. He usually had no expression on his face, and looked like a Taoist master. But now he was angry, and he looked like the grumpy old man that Pei Jing was familiar with and afraid of. Taoist Tianya wanted to beat Pei Jing up from a distance! He gritted his teeth and said, "Why did you touch the purple jade bead?"
Pei Jing stood in front of the water mirror and said, "Master, I want to advance the outer peak test by three years."
Taoist Tianya became even more angry: "You're thinking of touching the purple jade bead just for a test outside the peak?"
The anger shone through the mirror, and his expression was ferocious, as if he was about to jump out and hit someone.
Pei Jing was panicked, coughed, and said: "I used the purple jade bead just to lure you out. In fact, the more important thing is that I want to accept a disciple in this outer peak test."
After hearing this, Taoist Tianya was stunned and narrowed his eyes. "Accepting a disciple?"
Pei Jing was no longer so scared after he said it, and nodded, saying seriously, "Yes."
Taoist Tianya understands the temperament of his disciple.
Pei Jing had always been a disobedient person since he was young. No matter if he was beaten or scolded, he would say he was obedient, but he would behave differently the next time he turned around.
He dared to use the purple jade beads and told him specifically, which meant that he had the answer in his heart.
He gritted his teeth: "You want to accept me as your disciple now? I'm not dead yet."
The ancestor of the Yuanying stage, the head of the Yunxiao sect, a person who made the world of cultivation tremble with just a move of his feet, now can't even emit fire.
Pei Jing hurriedly explained: "I just saw a good seedling. I want him to enter Tianqian Peak as soon as possible so that he can have better training resources."
Taoist Tianya sneered: "People who can enter my Tianqian Peak, do they still need resources to practice?"
“… …” He was unable to refute.
Pei Jing thought for a moment and said, "Master, this disciple is different. But you have to believe that he will bring miracles to the entire cultivation world."
Tianya Daoist: "What guarantee do you have?"
Pei Jing: "Take my reputation."
Taoist Tianya sneered mercilessly: "You don't even have credibility with me." What a little bastard who only knows how to cause trouble.
"... ..."
He is really my dear master.
Pei Jing's expression became serious, and he said, "Master, he will really be the one who changes the world of cultivation, even including repairing the ladder to heaven."
The words "Heavenly Ladder" made Taoist Tianya's eyebrows jump. Looking at Pei Jing again, the anger in his eyes subsided a little, but his tone was majestic: "Do you know what the Heavenly Ladder is? How dare you say such a thing."
Pei Jing only had a rough idea about the Heavenly Ladder, and there was no record of it in history. He only knew that after a long time, the gods suddenly fell, the spiritual power of the cultivation world was exhausted, the Heavenly Ladder collapsed, and they completely lost contact with the upper world, and could no longer ascend.
Pei Jing hesitated for a long time, but finally said: "Master, do you know the Heavenly Demon Clan?"
Taoist Tianya’s eyes suddenly widened.
At this time, another voice came from the water mirror, smiling and very kind.
"Xiao Jing is already a grown-up. He will be the head of Yunxiao Sect sooner or later. Why are you worrying so much?"
Taoist Tianya turned around immediately, his anger subsided a lot, and he said respectfully, "Master."
Another person walked in from the side. He was short and skinny. His voice was kind and vicissitudes, but he looked like a child. The dark blue robe on his body had obvious traces of flowing at the cuffs as he raised his hand. It was not cotton, linen or silk from the human world, but was really woven from light dust.
The person who came was the current dean of Jingtian Academy and Pei Jing’s master—Xu Han Xianzun.
Pei Jing saw that his master’s head was even bigger.
During those three years in Jingtian Academy, Master Smiling Tiger was a nightmare.
He called out guiltily, "Master."
Immortal Master Xu Han was smiling. His face was round and his eyes were round too. However, unlike those of ordinary people, his pupils were bigger and three-colored. A layer of gray-green appeared outside the amber eyeballs and mixed in the whites of his eyes, as if accommodating the heaven and earth.
When one reaches the stage of Spiritualization, he or she will basically comprehend the heaven and earth and become the law of the world. In this world, there is only one known cultivator in the stage of Spiritualization, and that is the predecessor of Yunxiao, Hanxu Immortal Venerable.
It’s just that the Immortal Venerable Hanxu has been in seclusion for thousands of years, so long ago that he has become a legend and is rarely mentioned.
Immortal Master Xu Han said, "What did Xiao Jing just say? I didn't hear it clearly, old man."
Pei Jing didn't intend to hide it.
Even though he came from a book, even though he knew Ji Wuyou was the protagonist, but he didn't know the plot development, he still relied more on his ancestor who was already a senior in the Spiritualization Stage.
"Master, I plan to take a person with the blood of a demon as my disciple."
This is a plan Pei Jing has been considering for a long time. After the matter of the blue bird is resolved, he will enter the Changji Peak for a retreat to break the Nascent Soul. It is unknown how many years this retreat will take. Therefore, Ji Wuyou's affairs must be arranged early. Now Ji Wuyou still has a pure heart and has not turned evil, but there is no guarantee that something will go wrong during his retreat. If he accepts him as a disciple after the outer peak test, he will be the next head of Yunxiao, and no one will be blind to make things difficult for him.
After all, it is not easy to enter Tianqian Peak.
Immortal Master Xu Han heard it clearly, and his smile faded. He asked him, "Where did you hear the term celestial demon?"
Pei Jing: "I... I saw it in an ancient book." The ancient book was called "Zhu Jian".
Immortal Master Xu Han narrowed his eyes and said slowly: "Do you know how terrifying the blood of the Heavenly Demon is? If it awakens one day, it will be a disaster for the world."
Pei Jing said: "I know. But as a descendant of the Heavenly Demon, it is impossible for him not to awaken. Awakening anywhere in the world will bring disaster, so why not let him stay in the clouds."
As soon as he said this, Master Yunxiao and Grandmaster Yunxiao frowned. If other people heard this, Pei Jing's behavior would undoubtedly bring disaster to Yunxiao, but Taoist Tianya and Immortal Xuhan were both the masters of Yunxiao, and the justice of the world was deeply rooted in their hearts, just like every Yunxiao disciple was taught when they entered the sect, to take slaying demons and eliminating evil as their responsibility.
They would not object to leaving the seeds of disaster in the sky.
"Besides," Pei Jing said softly, "the child is still kind-hearted now."
Upon hearing this, Immortal Master Xu Han said meaningfully, "Is that so? One's nature cannot be determined. Many times, right and wrong can be reversed in just a moment. It has nothing to do with whether his nature is good or evil, or whether he was good or evil in the past."
Pei Jing was stunned: "Yes."
Compared to the hesitant Taoist Tianya, Ancestor Xu Han seemed more relaxed and open-minded.
"However, you should do as you wish. You are the future head of Yunxiao Sect, and you should make your own decisions on many things."
Pei Jing looked up suddenly, in disbelief. He thought he was going to drag Ji Wuyou over to show him to his master.
"Master, do you... agree?"
Immortal Master Xu Han smiled. His youthful appearance did not reveal a trace of childishness. Deep in his eyes was the calmness of having seen through all the sails. "Whether it is right or wrong, time will tell. Xiao Jing, are you close to breaking through the Nascent Soul stage now?"
Pei Jing was stunned for a moment, then nodded: "Yes."
Immortal Master Xu Han said: "After you break through the Nascent Soul stage, come to the Heavenly Scripture Academy as soon as possible."
Pei Jing was stunned and nodded again: "Yes."
Yu Qinglian had talked about this matter before. Her grandmother warned her to go to Jingtianyuan after she broke through the Nascent Soul stage. Even the Wusheng Buddhist sect had similar instructions. Did something really happen in Jingtianyuan
Taoist Tianya frowned his gray eyebrows and said, "Master, is it inappropriate to accept a son of the Heavenly Demon into Tianqian Peak?"
Immortal Master Xu Han smiled, his words were full of mystery: "What's the problem? As soon as he is born, we must make it right."
Tianya Taoist sighed: "It's too dangerous."
Immortal Master Xu Han rolled his eyes at him and said, "On this point, you should learn from Xiao Jing. Be more confident. You're just a little brat. How can you cause such a big fuss?"
Pei Jing, who was suddenly called, touched his nose in disappointment. He really didn't dare to accept the praise from his master.
After being told that by his master, especially in front of his own disciple, Taoist Tianya could no longer save his face and stopped talking.
"Yuzhi." The ancestor suddenly called his name.
Pei Jing stood in the center of the main hall, looking up.
On the water mirror, the ancestor in the Spiritualization Stage, dressed in dust, had three colors in his eyes that blended into the vast abyss, and said earnestly: "Remember, this is a decision you made yourself."
Pei Jing slowly clenched his hands hidden in his snow-white sleeves.
"yes."
The water mirror slowly dissipated.
Pei Jing took a deep breath, the look in his master's eyes kept lingering in his mind.
Looking outside the temple gate, purple light was like smoke, illuminating the mountains.
The masters of the 108 peaks are heading here.
at the same time.
The water mirror dissipated.
Inside a palace in Jingtianyuan.
Taoist Tianya was still worried: "Master, Xiaojing himself doesn't obey discipline now, how can you have the ability to discipline someone who has the blood of the devil?"
Because of his height, Ancestor Xu Han could only take the whisk and hit Tianya Taoist hard on the head. It was a pity that the immortal Tianya Taoist had to be taught a lesson, but he did not dare to resist.
Ancestor Xu Han said lazily: "Why do you worry so much? There is a saying in the world that children and grandchildren will have their own blessings."
Taoist Tianya: "..."
Ancestor Xu Han added: "If it was before, I wouldn't let him take it."
Tianya Taoist was puzzled: "Then today..."
Ancestor Hanxu stretched lazily, without any of the mysterious feeling that a cultivator in the Spiritualization Stage should have, and changed the subject: "Last time, didn't you tell me that Xiaojing encountered a bottleneck in breaking through the Nascent Soul stage, and was always blocked by an inexplicable force?"
Taoist Tianya concentrated his mind and said, "Yes." Then he realized - wait, is Pei Jing about to break through the Nascent Soul stage
Ancestor Hanxu smiled and said, "When this child came to Jingtianyuan, I discovered that for some reason, there was a demonic aura swirling in his body."
Taoist Tianya widened his eyes.
Ancestor Hanxu said: "I know that his retreat will fail. So I asked you to persuade him to break through 'Cangsheng' first. After all, the devil's energy is not so easy to eliminate. But this time," he narrowed his eyes: "the devil's energy in Xiaojing's body is gone."
Tianya Taoist opened his mouth: "This..."
Ancestor Hanxu said with a smile: "This little liar, the blood of the devil is not recorded in any ancient book. However, that person can help Xiaojing draw out the energy of the devil, so he should not have the intention to harm him. With such a person by Xiaojing's side, what does the descendant of the devil who has not yet awakened have to fear?"
He walked out muttering, "You actually kept this secret from us." The Spiritualization Stage cultivator shook his head, like an old man sighing and worrying about his children: "I'm getting old, and my children have secrets too."
Taoist Tianya: "..."
He stepped forward, his pale hair and beard fluttering, "Master, why don't you destroy the son of the demon while he's still young?"
Ancestor Xu Han raised his head.
Above Jingtianyuan is a sea of stars, the Milky Way is flowing, vast and deep, like the eternal and unchanging river of time. He stretched out his hand, a young man's hand, healthy and strong, and then gradually became old, gray-brown and covered with spots.
"Not to mention that evil people may not necessarily do evil in the end."
The voice of the cultivator in the Spirit Transformation Stage was vague and ethereal, mixed with a hint of coldness.
"How do you know that we can kill him?"
The highest point of Jingtian Temple is three feet high into the sky, and the clouds are golden.
Ancestor Xu Han said: "Many people who practice cultivation all respect the Way of Heaven. But in the end, they will understand that cultivators are actually going against Heaven."
His voice trailed off, with a hint of weirdness in it.
"Since you are defying heaven, how can you blame heaven for being unkind?"
Chen Xu almost spit out a mouthful of tea when the purple light spread over Wenqing Peak.
Feng Jin was temporarily living in Wenqing Peak. When he saw this scene, he just thought it was beautiful. After all, he just preferred the rich and colorful things in the world, and was attracted by all the bright red, gold and purple.
"What is this? It's more beautiful than fireworks in the human world."
Chen Xu held the sword and walked out, saying grimly: "Hehe."
What is this? It is the purple jade pearl light! It is the eye of the Cloud Formation! It is the master's important order!
What is Pei Yuzhi doing
When he arrived at Tianqian Peak, there were already a bunch of people standing there, and every one of them was a powerful boss who was feared by everyone.
Now, they either ride on cloud cranes, or control long swords, or lie on flying carpets, descending from the sky and stepping onto the cold mountain road of Tianqian Peak. "What's going on?" A man covered in golden clothes yawned, rubbed his eyes, and looked sleepy: "Why did you suddenly call us all here?" This is the leader of the inner peak Liuyan Peak, who is usually sleepy.
Following him was the head of Feihong Peak. The purple-clothed beauty kicked him and said, "I can't sleep with you. Get out of the way. If you don't leave, the people behind you will have to leave."
The head of Liuyan Peak was furious: "Old woman! How dare you hit me!"
They started fighting.
But Chen Xu was already upset and too lazy to try to stop the fight.
The few people in front are elders with some experience in the inner peak. Most of them have been semi-secluded from the world and have seen many storms, so they are calm now.
Another voice was heard from behind, and the masters of the outer peaks also arrived one after another.
When everyone saw that everyone was present, their expressions became solemn.
Someone asked Chen Xu: "Master, what are you doing?"
After all, as one of the three main peaks, Changji Peak is used for retreat. As the master of Wenqing Peak and a good friend of Pei Yuzhi, he has the most say.
Chen Xu knew nothing, his face was gloomy: "Why are you in such a hurry? It will be clear soon."
Tianqian Peak was particularly lively that night.
Purple air came from the east above the palace, and cold moonlight flowed all over the ground.
When everyone entered the hall, they saw the lonely and cold Night Pearl, the clear and flawless pool in the center, and the young temporary leader standing in front of the highest seat, looking at them.
The snow-white clothes and jade crown are of unparalleled elegance.
"Greetings, Master." More than a hundred people knelt down in unison with loud voices.
Pei Jing looked at them one by one, met Chen Xu's questioning and hateful eyes, and smiled slightly: "Everyone, I summoned you here today just to announce one thing."
"I will move the Outer Peak Competition, which takes place once every ten years, forward to a week later."
"Also, I will accept a disciple during this outer peak selection."
Send away the 108 peak masters who were very confused at first and then suddenly exploded.
Chen Xu's expression was very complicated: "You are really amazing."
Pei Jing said: "I have already consulted my master and my great master."
Sometimes Chen Xu really admired Pei Yuzhi's courage, "So this time the outer peak test has become a sect competition? One venue for inner peak disciples and one venue for outer peak disciples."
Pei Jing said, "Yes, what are they thinking? They actually thought that I wanted to pick the best person to be my disciple, and they had to give the inner peak disciples a chance. Don't they know that I have already chosen the person?"
Chen Xu was already confused: "So you really plan to take Ji Wuyou as your disciple?"
Pei Jing lowered his head and smiled, with an ambiguous meaning: "Maybe."
Chen Xu said: "Master, Grandmaster agree, I am too lazy to say anything."
Pei Jing said: "Don't worry, I may have to ask you to take care of this competition again."
Chen Xu: “… …” Too tired to even breathe.
Pei Jing smiled and said, "The disciple from Zhongnan Peak, please arrange a competition with me. Remember, this is Zhang Yiming from Shangyang Peak."
Chen Xu: “… …” Why don’t you go to heaven
Then send Chen Xu away. Pei Jing heard a bird cry. He stood in front of the Tianqian Hall and tilted his head. It was a small yellow bird flapping its wings and flying over. It flew to his palm. Perhaps the words of his master made him a little dazed, so he held this stupid bird - he lowered his head, was silent for a long time, smiled, and said softly: "It seems that the key to the matter of the Tianmo clan can only be found in Jingtianyuan."
The little yellow bird didn't understand and blinked in confusion.
Pei Jing tapped its head, made a decision in his mind, turned around and walked towards Wuya Pavilion.
The author has something to say: In fact, what Pei Jing is doing now is not necessarily wrong~ The kindness and justice of a young man do not mean stupidity.
There were reasons for Chu's previous life, but it wasn't his fault.
Then, the plot line is almost clear, and the love line will begin soon, the sect competition, Brother Chu is tall and handsome, yes.
I originally planned the love line in Tianyan City, _(:3j∠)_ the city lord’s wife who travels thousands of miles to chase her wife, haha (you guessed it right, Chu is the city lord, I feel like there’s no need to guess... )
No more words, no spoilers
Then, the timeline, I forgot my initial outline when I was writing more than a dozen chapters, I... My memory is very bad, I forgot, it's very messy. This Saturday, I will fix the timeline. But it doesn't really affect...
