Pick the stars!
As the first main peak of the Izumo Mountains, the mountain is 6,800 meters high.
There is a tower on the peak called the Star Picking Tower, which is 1,200 meters high.
The legendary Shuiyue Cave of the Moon Washing Sect is in this tower.
It is said that Star Catch Peak was originally 7,600 meters high.
One thousand eight hundred years ago, in order to build this peak, the Xiyue Sect Power cut off the head of the 800-meter peak and moved it into the Star Picking Tower. Since then, the Star Picking Tower has become the Shuiyue Cave Sky. The majestic spirit is many times larger than the Langya blessed land of Xiaoyao Palace.
The Star Reaching Tower was originally a Taoist soldier, with infinite space inside, and a world of its own. Not to mention that it can accommodate the 800-meter peak, no matter how many places it can accommodate.
There is another hall under the Star Reaching Tower called Shenshen Temple.
This hall is the main hall of the Xiyue Sect, and the internal discussions of the Xiyue Sect are held in this hall.
Sometimes when big events happen, all disciples are summoned, ceremonies are held, and speeches on stage are held in this hall and the square in front of the hall.
The main hall was originally a complete building complex, magnificent, with thousands of buildings, Yuyu Qionglou, carved columns and jade masonry, it can be described as extremely gorgeous.
The four purple palaces of the Xiyue Sect live in the Sanshen Temple.
Of course, it is now the five largest purple houses.
In other words, the entire Shuiyue Cave Sky was actually personally guarded by the five purple palaces of the Washing Moon Sect, which shows its significance!
On this day, a young man came up to the Peak of Star Harvest.
Tang Jie!
Standing in front of the Sanshen Temple and pushing open the huge gate, there is a vast starry sky in the palace.
Being in the temple is like being in the void, surrounded by stars twinkling, but there is a silver moon in the distance, no matter how the starry sky changes, that silver moon always hangs high in the sky, emitting a quiet and elegant light.
Tang Jie bowed to the silver moon.
Then a magnificent voice sounded in the hall: "Tang Jie!"
"The disciple is here!" Tang Jie Gong replied.
A cloud of light rose up in the void, like a small sun, floating and sinking on the edge of the silver moon.
Look carefully again, it is clearly a person sitting cross-legged, hanging in the air, but the whole body emits a strong light that makes him unclear. That light is clearly aura, in a special form, a kind of A more violent form was released, enveloping the whole body, making people float and sink in a sea of spiritual energy, and Tang Jie couldn't help but shake his head when he saw it.
"I am the true monarch Xuanyue, you have done well in front of you, to reward you, give you Shuiyuedongtian and his party, are you ready?"
"Yes, the disciple is ready." Tang Jie replied.
The light in the void diminished slightly, and Tang Jie could finally barely see the true face of True Monarch Xuanyue. He was a white man who couldn’t tell how old he was. If he sat there still, he would just make people think This is a statue.
True Monarch Xuanyue stopped speaking, and glanced at him lightly, Tang Jie only felt a chill in his heart.
He knew that with just this look, this True Monarch Xuanyue had already looked at him all over, and even the things he carried in the mustard bag had been checked clearly by him. Something that was prohibited would have been caught. He saw it.
Fortunately, Tang Jie made full preparations for this visit, and did not bring any contraband, such as Soul Refining Orbs and other things had been properly placed in his house, and Yiyi watched.
At this moment, True Monarch Xuan Yue inspected, a strange color appeared on his face, which seemed to be strange to those things that Tang Jie brought.
But he was weird, and after all he nodded in approval.
Then he squeezed out a fingerprint with one hand, and lightly tapped it towards Tang Jie, a ray of brilliance had already shot at the center of Tang Jie's eyebrows.
Tang Jie only felt that his forehead was hot, and there was already a silver moon mark on his forehead.
True Monarch Xuanyue said: "This is the mark of entering the tower. With this note, you can travel freely in the tower."
Then he waved his sleeves and said, "Go."
Tang Jie felt that a force had engulfed him, and flew towards the back of the palace with him.
Flying all the way, countless palace doors rumbling open automatically.
Until the last door of the temple opened with a bang, Tang Jie had already flown out of the Temple of Participation, and in front of him was a cloud-shrouded tower, which was precisely the Tower of Picking Stars.
That power led him to fly forward. It seemed that it was only a short distance, but it took a long time to reach the tower. Tang Jie knew that this was mostly the hidden mechanism on the Star Picking Peak. True Monarch saw him off, I was afraid that I would never reach the tower for a lifetime.
At this moment in front of the tower, that power finally disappeared, and Tang Jie fell from the sky.
True Monarch Xuanyue's voice sounded again: "From here on, enter by yourself. After entering the tower, you must remember the rules and don't violate it!"
"Disciples, remember, don't dare to forget!"
True Monarch Xuan Yue said no more, Tang Jie strode forward.
In front of me was a bronze gate with a relief sculpture of a strange animal that looked like a little monkey with three eyes.
Tang Jie was about to push the door, but saw that the alien beast relief on the door actually moved, and smiled at Tang Jie: "Yeah, is there another kid coming into my stomach? Let me think about it except for those things. Tian’s, how long has there been no outsiders coming in here? One year... Two years... Well, it should be three years, there have been three years since no one has been here. What’s wrong with the Washing Moon faction? , Or are the big guys in the faction getting more and more stingy?"
Tang Jie looked at the relief of the strange beast: "Dare to ask you who is it?"
The three-eyed monkey beast laughed and said: "Me? Didn't I say, you are going to come in my stomach. Really stupid, so stupid!"
"Are you the Star Reaching Tower?"
Monkey Beast crouched his hips and nodded: "Yes, that's right, I am the soul of the soldier, the star-picking sky monkey, and the entire star-picking tower is under my control. If you dare to violate the rules, I can deal with you. Oh. Of course, if you are willing to buy me off, or I can open my eyes and close my eyes."
The star-picking sky monkey said he had laughed.
"Really, but I didn't bring a banana this time, so let's do it later." Tang Jie responded, but ignored it, and just opened the door like this.
The monkey beast watched Tang Jie ignore it and went in like this. It was sluggish at first, and then became angry: "Asshole, asshole, how dare you ignore me, Master Tianhou! Banana, he even said that he would use bananas to coax him." Me, Mingyesky, have you heard that!"
A chuckle came, and a piece of light appeared in front of the star picking tower, like the true monarch Xuanyue, like a sun, shining all directions, sitting inside, it was the bright night sky.
He has long hair in a cape, and sits slightly with his eyes closed.
Until this moment he appeared, he just raised his head slightly and looked at the star-picking sky monkey: "I told my senior that your tricks can't deceive him. How? He can see through you without even asking. If the guardian beast is like this It's easy to buy, and even take the initiative to ask for bribes... Hey, the six schools are not the six schools anymore."
Although this star picking tower has only been transformed into a Shuiyuedong genius for less than two thousand years, it has a history of more than five thousand years. Even the True Lord Ming Yekong must respect it as a predecessor.
"Cut!" The star picking sky monkey on the bronze door had already folded his arms, showing an unconvinced look. It also knows that the disciples who can enter the water moon cave sky must be easy to deceive. In fact, it has been here for nearly two thousand years. The fools it has deceived can count with a single slap, but like Tang Jie, he doesn’t even ask how to buy it. Still relatively rare.
"Then senior, what do you think of this?"
The sky monkey's eyes rolled around in a circle, and then he said: "It's still a manufacturable talent. As long as he doesn't violate the rules, I can help him when I see the opportunity."
"Then thank you senior." Ming Yekong smiled and bowed his hand to the sky monkey, and the person has gradually disappeared and left.
Seeing the night sky disappear, the star-picking sky monkey said with a deep face: "Which one can enter this water and moon cave sky, which one is not a good seedling? I don't know how many people have asked me to help guide for two thousand years. But even so, how many people can get to the summit? This son contributed 30,000, and the number of days he can stay is less than a hundred days. I want to hit the highest in a hundred days, it is impossible! Hmph, monkey, I still watch the show carefully, save Some effort."
As soon as I closed my eyes, the heavy relief didn't move anymore. I didn't care about Ming Ye Sky's request at all.
…
Entering the tower, Tang Jie saw that he was in a wilderness, surrounded by flowers everywhere, and the environment was extremely beautiful.
The spiritual energy in the air is extremely rich, it is almost the kind that can be transformed into spiritual liquid dripping into the body with a single breath, and its abundance is much stronger than the Jiujuezhu Immortal Formation.
It's no wonder that when the soldier returned to the ruins, he was the only one in the end, and what was transformed into such a large space.
This Shuiyue Cave Sky is the home of countless great abilities of the Washing Moon Sect, and the effect is naturally different.
If he could, Tang Jie really wanted to just sit down and meditate like this. He didn't need anything. Just breathing the spiritual energy here would increase his cultivation speed several times.
But if it was just for this, Tang Jie wouldn't have to spend ten years to make contributions.
Even if the concentration of aura here is ten times that of the outside world, a hundred days is only equivalent to three years of cultivating outside.
He was wasted more than three years in the past ten years.
A mountain peak can be seen in the distance of the wilderness.
Tang Jie knew that this peak was eight hundred and eighty-eight meters high.
There is a pool on the top of the peak called Yingyue Lake. According to legend, the ancestors of this school were the place where Shuiyue Tianzun entered the Tao and soared, leaving a rich legacy.
It is a pity that there is a large formation on the peak, and no one can fly here. Even if it is hiking on foot, it will feel great pressure.
For thousands of years, there have been countless Yingjie disciples of the Washing Moon School, but very few have been able to climb the mountain. Even the Tianxin Purple Mansion is no exception. The stronger the strength, the greater the pressure he feels. There is no advantage in the realm here, and the only thing that can be relied on is his own will.
In addition, the Millennium Fields of the Wash Moon School are also distributed around the mountains.
The 800-meter peak is full of spiritual fields cultivated by the disciples of the Xiyue farming hall. They are divided according to the number of years, planted and harvested. The higher the peak, the longer the year of spiritual planting and the higher the rarity.
These disciples wear special protective gear, so they can be exempted from the pressure of the big array and go up and down the mountain freely. However, under the supervision of the star picking sky monkeys, although they played with these spirit plants all year round, they had no chance to get even any one of them. Occasionally, there are those who take risks, but none of them end well.
According to the rules of the Xiyue School, the thousand-year-old field on this mountain peak can be free to choose a spiritual plant at the same height for every 100 meters.
If you get 600 meters, you can choose every 50 meters.
If you go up to 750 meters, you can choose once every ten meters.
In addition, it is the legacy of those predecessors.
There are too many predecessors sitting here and returning to the ruins, and too many predecessors leaving their own experience at different heights.
These precious experiences can only be seen and learned by those disciples who rely on their own efforts to climb up.
For this reason, for every disciple who enters the cave, trying to reach the top is an indispensable choice—for more valuable resources, for more precious experience, and for the more abundant and rich aura at the summit.
Looking at the far peak at this moment, Tang Jie's eyes were already burning like fire.
With a low whistle, he walked towards the mountain, seemingly slow but fast, and it didn't take long for him to come to the foot of the mountain.
At the foot of the mountain is a stone stairway, which leads all the way to the top of the mountain.
On both sides of the stairs are large terraces, and you can faintly see farm disciples in special formations dealing with Lingzhi.
Someone saw Tang Jie coming and shouted: "Look, someone is climbing!"
This shout attracted a lot of peasant disciples to watch. Tang Jie discovered that the number of disciples who are responsible for the spiritual field of emotions here is actually quite large, and there are hundreds of disciples in the terraces 100 meters below.
Those people looked at Tang Jie with envy in their eyes.
Don't look at them being in the water and moon cave sky all day long, but in the case of wearing a formation, it is hard for the aura here to breathe more. They are in Baoshan, but they can never take away a trace of precious energy. They can only watch those outstanding disciples come here year after year, breathe the aura here freely, and take away precious spiritual plants.
"It's Tang Jie." A farmer's disciple said in a deep voice.
Ten years ago, Tang Jie was allowed to enter the Shuiyue Cave. This incident was once a sensation. Many disciples in the farmhouse naturally knew about it.
"It turned out to be the lucky guy." A farm disciple snorted.
"Good luck?" A farm disciple dressed in a formation and holding a panlong stick said disdainfully: "If you can kill hundreds of disciples at the beast-refining gate in one go, you can get this good luck too. . I'm afraid that I'm afraid that I won't be able to take the opponent's head, and it will become a feat in the hands of others!"
The farm disciple who had spoken before was immediately held back by these words.
At this time, Tang Jie had come under the stone ladder and began to climb the peak. He was about to step on his feet. He suddenly thought of something, turned his head back and bowed to the farm disciples on both sides, and said loudly: "Tang Jie has seen the farmer brother, thanks Brothers who have been nurtured for thousands of years, I have just had my moon-washing sect, and Tang Jie has the opportunity to gain a treasure today. Thank you!"
What he said was sincere, and it was obviously from the heart.
Everyone didn't expect Tang Jie to be so polite, and feel a little at a loss for a while.
Over the years, they have planted and cultivated spiritual plants here, and they have also seen many seniors come here.
There are those who are more polite, that is, nodding to them, which is regarded as respect; there are those who are surly and bastards, and even make fun of them for incompetence, go up the mountain in a big manner, and even say all kinds of humiliating words.
People like Tang Jie who paid tribute before going up the mountain have seen him for the first time in so many years.
A large group of peasant disciples looked at each other, and in the end they still looked like a senior brother who stood up and said: "Junior Brother Tang is polite. After joining the school for only ten years, he will have to enter the water, moon and cave sky. He is destined to be the elite of the future moonwashing sect. , I can only look up to it. Now, Zhao Hui, I wish Junior Brother Tang a smooth climb and ascend all the way!"
The other farm disciples also bowed their hands to Tang Jie.
Tang Jie returned to Shi Yili: "Thank you all!"
This side turned around and took the first step to the top of the mountain.
After taking this step, Tang Jie immediately felt his body heaved suddenly and almost fell.
It's gravity!
Tang Jie had realized something and looked at his feet.
It was just a step away, but there were totally different feelings on the stairs and under the stairs. When Tang Jie stood on the first step, he obviously felt that something on the ground below was pulling him, making him a little stepped for a while. Don't take steps.
Fortunately, this strength was not too great. Tang Jie was just unprepared just now. He was psychologically prepared at this moment. He continued to step up, and when he stood on the second-level stone steps, the gravity was a bit stronger.
Tang Jie finally understood why it was impossible to fly here.
Obviously, gravity comes from the land at the foot of the mountain before.
This is not actually gravity, but a kind of traction.
The farther you are from the ground, the stronger the traction from that piece of land. When you rise to a certain height, you may not even be able to step forward.
Sure enough, the farm disciple named Zhao Hui said: "Junior Brother Tang, this place is under the control of the big formation. The more you go up, the more difficult it will be. However, this kind of power works from the bottom to the top, so as long as you can climb the stairs. Just do it, don't support it hard, it will only let the strength act on you for a long time and consume your strength for yourself."
Hearing what Zhao Hui said, Tang Jie immediately understood the purpose of this arrangement.
Obviously, this pull from bottom to top is to give the disciples a chance to break through and rest.
If the pressure is from top to bottom, then climbers will fall into a long-term load-bearing state, which means they will not get rest at all.
If it's an ordinary person who doesn't get a rest, it's nothing more than an ordinary person who doesn't get a rest during the extreme test.
What can be limited is not lasting; what can be lasted is inevitably not called the limit.
"So that's the case, Perry really thought deeply, thank you brother for reminding me." Tang Jie hurriedly smiled.
Although these farm disciples have no chance to climb mountains, they have seen many things here for many years. At this moment, Zhao Hui's words cleared away the fog in his heart, allowing him to save a lot of energy next, and it also meant saving a lot of time.
At this moment, as Zhao Hui said, he climbed up the mountain in one breath, but didn't force it, and sat down to rest for a while every few steps.
The first 100 meters was the best to climb, so it didn't take long for Tang Jie to climb the first fifty meters.
There is a bend at the first fifty meters. There is a stone monument beside the bend, marking the height, and there is a stone bench next to it for the visitors to rest.
Tang Jie was resting on the stone bench. He saw Zhao Hui walking around with the Dragon Stick in his hand, his heart moved slightly, and said, "Brother Zhao, what are you doing with your weapon?"
Then Zhao Hui replied: "Naturally, it is to prevent those damn monsters from coming to make trouble."
"Monster?" Tang Jie was slightly startled, "There are other monsters in the water and moon cave sky?"
