Night falls.
The towering Lingyun Mountain is like a huge stone pillar thrust into the clouds, majestic.
At the foot of the mountain, Nie Tian looked up at Lingyun Mountain, taking a deep breath and feeling excited.
"Lingzhu, you go up the mountain first." Li Fan said lightly.
Jiang Lingzhu turned her head and glanced at Nie Tian, her eyes a little complicated, and said, "Where is he?"
Li Fan responded, "Master has ordered us to take him directly to the back mountain."
Jiang Lingzhu was shocked and said: "Real or false?"
Li Fan smiled bitterly, "I also think it's a lie. Hey, it's a little hard for me to accept the thought of having an inexplicable junior uncle in the future."
"You guys are really unlucky!" Jiang Lingzhu glared at Nie Tian and said bitterly: "I don't care. Anyway, I won't call you Junior Uncle. You're not even older than me."
Saying this, she became a little angry and rushed towards Lingyun Mountain along the narrow stone steps.
Nie Tian touched his head with confusion on his face, "Uncle Li, what's going on?"
"You can still call me Uncle Li today. From tomorrow on, I will be your nephew." Li Fan looked helpless, but did not explain anything in detail and said, "Let's go to the back mountain."
Nie Tian followed with doubts.
Half an hour later, the sky turned completely dark, and a full moon gradually appeared in the night sky.
Behind Lingyun Mountain, under a mountain peak slightly shorter than Lingyun Mountain, Nie Tian and Li Fan appeared.
A stone path leading to the top of the mountain was pointed out by Li Fan. He said to Nie Tian, "I will send you here. Just follow this stone path to the end. When you reach the top of the mountain, someone will naturally meet you." That person will be your master in Lingyun Sect from now on."
"Ah, why is it the Back Mountain and not Lingyun Mountain?" Nie Tian was surprised. "As far as I know, shouldn't new disciples who join the sect should participate in a ceremony?"
"You are different." Li Fan shook his head and explained: "In the future, you will understand that the rules of Lingyun Sect do not apply to you."
Nie Tian was confused.
"Go ahead and go up the mountain along the stone path. After a while, you will understand how lucky you are." After leaving these words, Li Fan ignored him and left.
Under the moonlight, Nie Tian looked at the long stone road and the mountain peak that was slightly shorter than Lingyun Mountain, and his heart was full of doubts.
After thinking for a while, he couldn't think of anything, so he could only follow Li Fan's instructions and go up the mountain along the stone path late at night.
The stone path leading to the top of the mountain was rugged and long. It took him a whole night to reach the end at dawn, exhausted.
At the end of the stone path is a smooth stone ground with only a few thatched huts.
Exhausted, he took deep breaths to calm himself down. Before he could take a closer look, he heard a voice coming from one of the thatched huts, "Are you here?"
"Who are you?" Nie Tian was surprised.
"Come here." The man in the room spoke calmly, as if he had just woken up. "Be careful where you step."
Nie Tian subconsciously looked at his feet.
On the smooth stone ground, there was a little bit of strange light, and the strange light quickly intertwined crisscross and weaved into grids.
Waves of thrilling power fluctuations spurted out from the grid, causing Nie Tian's expression to change.
The next moment, he noticed the clusters of clouds near the top of the mountain. They were attracted and quickly flew towards the stone ground at his feet.
Soon, those clouds were like a gray-white carpet, spreading on the stone ground under his feet.
The stone ground beneath his feet was suddenly invisible, leaving only clusters of clouds.
At this moment, he seemed to have fallen into the clouds, stepping on clusters of gray-white clouds, standing in the void of the sky.
"Step by step, walk slowly." Among the thick clouds, the voices coming from the thatched house seemed to suddenly become ethereal.
Nie Tian looked around and saw thick clouds nearby. He could no longer see the mountains or the ground. In his eyes, only the thatched cottages seemed to be floating deep in the clouds.
He had never experienced this battle before, and he suddenly became extremely cautious.
He couldn't see the rocky ground, only the clouds. He was worried that if he took one step, he would fall from the mountain into the abyss, and he would fall to death.
He stared at the thatched hut closely, squinting his eyes and thinking carefully. After making sure that there was stone ground between him and the thatched hut, he took the first trembling step.
One foot fell suddenly.
"boom!"
A raging wave of energy rose from the soles of his feet. As soon as the power entered the soles of his feet, it instantly turned into millions of gossamers.
He suddenly felt sore and numb all over his body. He tried to feel it with his mind, but when he let go of his mental power, he found that the millions of hairsprings seemed to have found an outlet and poured straight into his mind.
Later, his mind became confused, his head was heavy, and his body was shaking.
Every piece of flesh and blood and every muscle in his body was penetrated by those weird hairsprings, and he gradually felt his body burning hot.
"The second step." The voice came again from the thatched house.
The dizzy Nie Tian, following the sound of the voice, took out his second foot and stepped forward slowly.
"boom!"
Another surge of energy poured in from the soles of his feet and reached his limbs and bones, seeming to fill his flesh and blood.
His body, just like when he was refining the blood he sucked in in the Qinghuan World, suddenly expanded like a balloon.
The heartbreaking pain came from every pore of his body, causing him to scream.
"Ouch!"
As he roared, sweat stains began to flow from his body. Those sweat stains... were mixed with filth and were expelled from the body.
"Continue!" the voice said again.
Nie Tian endured the severe pain, gritted his teeth, and walked forward again.
With every step he took, amazing energy would erupt from the clouds under his feet.
Those energies poured into his body easily and instantly, wandering around in his flesh, flesh and bones, stimulating him!
After he took seven steps, the pain from his body was already tormenting him and he was about to fall into coma.
He felt that his body was as heavy as a mountain, and it seemed difficult to take another step.
So he stopped there.
The voice that kept urging him also calmed down at this time, as if it was waiting for something.
"Hoo ho ho!"
Nie Tian exhaled deeply. Even this most ordinary exhalation cost him too much energy.
At this moment, he felt that this body... seemed to be no longer his. His muddled mind seemed unable to sense the existence of the body.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
At this moment, he heard an abnormal heartbeat in his chest. The heartbeat was getting louder and faster!
"Oops!"
Being surrounded by clouds and mist, he secretly sighed, feeling that his secret was about to be exposed nakedly.
His abnormal heartbeat would only appear when he was in desperate situations.
Every abnormal heartbeat can reverse his disadvantage, allowing him to fight again through a power he doesn't know.
This time, it is no exception!
As his heartbeat accelerated, he who was about to pass out from exhaustion seemed to feel his own existence again.
His body that could no longer move seemed to be reactivated by a new force at this moment!
"continue!!"
In the thatched house, the sound that had stopped for a while suddenly sounded again.
This time, Nie Tian could hear excitement and excitement in the voice.
