"Yaojun order." Meng Qi nodded thoughtfully, no wonder Su Junmo went to Tianwaitian to find Yun Qingyan, it was for this reason.
"But why hasn't he come back?" Si Kongxing looked around anxiously.
There were already many people in the open space in front of Shijue Mountain, but within a short time, people kept coming.
Meng Qi looked around, and there were more and more people, but it became quieter and quieter.
Not long after, Yan Shunbei also appeared in front of Shijue Mountain.
As soon as he appeared, everyone became quiet.
Meng Qi raised his eyes and looked at Yan Shunbei from a distance. He was wearing a simple black robe, and as the head of the number one Dharma cultivation sect in the three thousand worlds, he didn't seem to be domineering at all.
In addition, Meng Qi thought of what Yun Qingyan said, he is also in charge of the world of the demon world.
I don't know if the Tianwaitian there is similar to the Three Thousand Worlds.
"It's the sect master of Jingyuetian." Si Kongxing said to Meng Qi in a low voice.
"Yeah." Meng Qi nodded.
"Is the person you mentioned last time his son?" Si Kongxing lowered his voice, and didn't mention Yan Xuan's injury at all.
"yes."
"He looks very powerful." Si Kongxing looked up at Yan Shunbei, "What a pity."
"By the way, Meng Qiqi." Still holding Meng Qi's arm, she said, "Su Junmo told me just now that we belong to casual cultivators with no background and no sect, which is equivalent to the quota specially given to us by Jingyuetian. So When we enter Shijue Mountain in a while, we will be with Jingyuetian's disciples."
"Ok."
fair enough.
Meng Qi thought of Yan Xuan, and it happened that they could be together.
The two were talking when a man in a black robe walked by. The man's whole body was covered by a cloak, and the hood of the cloak was pulled up to completely cover his head.
Meng Qi could only see his jaw.
Si Kongxing looked at the man who suddenly appeared beside them with even more vigilance.
"Meng Qi." The other party did not take off the cloak, continued to hide Lian in the shadows, and called Meng Qi in a low voice, "Let's go together in a while."
"Who are you?" Si Kongxing asked.
"That person you just said." Meng Qi already recognized that it was Yan Xuan's voice, and quickly said to Si Kongxing.
"Huh?" Si Kongxing was taken aback.
Meng Qi raised his hand, pointing his fingers at Yan Shunbei who was standing on the high platform in front of Shijue Mountain.
The sect master of Jing Yuetian was talking in a low voice with the sect masters of the various sects. The disciples were scattered around, separated a little far away, and Meng Qi and the others couldn't hear what he was talking about.
Sikong Xing: "..."
Sikong Xing: "!!!"
She quickly turned around to look at Yan Xuan who was standing behind her, her whole body was wrapped in a cloak, her bright eyes were full of surprise.
Yan Xuan's jaw tightened, and he took a step back.
Ever since he was injured, he didn't like to stay in the sect, whether it was those sympathetic or contemptuous eyes, all made him very uncomfortable.
This is the bottom of Shijue Mountain, and here are the most outstanding disciples from the top ten sects from all walks of life.
Yan Xuan was known as a genius in the past, and had friendship with many of these people.
He doesn't want to meet these people, it won't bring him anything but embarrassment.
At this time, Yan Xuan's eyes towards his boss Kong Xing, eyes covered by the cloak and hat, flashed a trace of coldness.
He doesn't know Sikong Xing, and his current cultivation level is only equivalent to that of Qi training period practitioners, and he can't see Sikong Xing's identity and cultivation level
"This is my friend, Sikong Xing." Meng Qi said to Yan Xuan.
She pulled La Sikongxing's arm again, signaling him not to stare at Yan Xuan like this, and then said: "This is Fellow Daoist Yan Xuan."
Her voice was kept low.
The place where the few of them were was also at the end of the crowd. In addition, the disciples of other sects gathered together, so no one came to stand with them.
Meng Qi's word "Yan Xuan" passed by, very lightly, only Si Kongxing could hear it clearly.
"Oh." Si Kongxing nodded repeatedly, "I know."
She didn't mention Yan Xuan's name, but Miao Mu still stared at Yan Xuan without blinking.
"Xing Xing." Meng Qi tugged on La Sikong Xing's sleeve again.
The friend is passionate by nature, and she knows she must mean no harm.
Yan Xuan didn't even stay in his own sect anymore, and went to Jingyuetian to wander in the market, it must be because he didn't want to be so concerned.
"I just want to see it." Si Kongxing said in a low voice, "Last time they said that even if the inner alchemy was damaged, they could still fight on, and they never let go of the barrier gap they guarded. It's really amazing!"
Her eyes were bright, and her face was full of admiration: "I fought someone once before, and that person was very powerful. With a wave of his sleeve, he hit me all over the ground. The inner alchemy was shaking...God!"
Si Kongxing's voice was still very low, but his tone was very exaggerated: "I felt dizzy all of a sudden, let alone continue to fight, I just want to spit and cry on the ground, I can't even sit up. So..."
She said in a low voice, her eyes still looked at Yan Xuan brightly: "You are really amazing!"
Meng Qi smiled sweetly.
Even the coldness in Yan Xuan's eyes faded a lot.
No one would hate a compliment like this in person, especially when it comes from a pretty and sincere girl.
Yan Xuan was silent for a moment, then said lightly: "It's nothing serious, it turned out like this later."
"When I joined Master's sect, he once asked me." Si Kongxing shook his head, and continued: "Why did I join his sect, and what is the purpose of practicing."
"What did you say?" Meng Qi also became curious.
"I answered Master, to become stronger!" Si Kongxing said.
"Everyone wants to be strong, and everyone wants to be strong." Yan Xuan seemed to chuckle, and said casually: "But the way of heaven is above, and cultivators go against the sky. There are calamities and many encounters. Frustration, coupled with the influence of one's own talent, can really become stronger in the end, and there are only a few who reach the peak. I don't know how many people fell on the way, and no one knows."
Meng Qi's heart moved slightly. In fact, Yan Xuan's words were quite in line with her experience.
And she was even worse at the time, and she died before she even became stronger.
"That's not the case." Si Kongxing shook his head again, "I haven't finished yet."
She paused, put one hand behind her back, and then continued: "My master asked me again, what is the purpose of becoming stronger? I said, I want to protect the people I want to protect."
She looked at Yan Xuan with a smile. Although she couldn't see the expression on the other side, she said seriously: "That's why I want to become stronger. I think you must be the same, you want to protect them, so that you can destroy the inner alchemy." Then, you can keep going.”
She didn't say who "they" Yan Xuan was protecting.
Perhaps no one could protect him because of his persistence.
Or maybe, his persistence has protected many, many people in the western world.
Meng Qi looked at Si Kongxing, then turned to look at Yan Xuan.
Under the cloak, the young man stood tall, in a daze, and didn't speak for a long time.
"So fellow daoist, you are sticking to your way, and you will definitely get better and stronger in the future." Si Kongxing said again: "You don't have to..."
She raised her eyes and pointed to Yan Xuan's cloak: "You don't need to cover yourself like this. Those people who make you unhappy are just because they don't understand you, and there is no need to pay attention to them. My master said that the world will eventually become Especially powerful cultivators are those who can stick to their Dao from the very beginning. You are already one of the most... most powerful people!"
"...Thank you." After a while, Yan Xuan said softly.
Meng Qi smiled at him, held hands with Si Kongxing and turned around, continuing to look at Yan Shunbei.
Behind them, the black-robed youth still did not take off the cap of his cloak.
It's just that the hostility towards Sikong Xing in him has dissipated a lot after all.
The muffled bell rang after another incense stick.
The sound was so far away that it could almost spread throughout the entire Mirror Moon Sky.
It was quiet in front of Shijue Mountain, and most of the sect masters of the top ten sects in the four worlds returned to their sects.
Yan Shunbei took a step forward and said, "I am the head of Jingyuetian, and I have been guarding Shijue Mountain for the Four Realms for nearly ten thousand years. Now it is time for Shijue Mountain to open once every ten years."
He paused, and said slowly: "This year, not only will Shijue Mountain be opened once every ten years, it will also be a hundred years, a thousand years, and..."
He looked around, and although the voice was not loud, it reached the ears of everyone present very clearly: "The period of ten thousand years of opening up."
No one among the cultivators spoke, and Meng Qi and Sikong Xing also listened quietly.
"According to past experience, every time Shijue Mountain coincides with the opening of a century or a thousand years, it will be more dangerous than usual. This is the first time that it will open for ten thousand years, and the danger is self-evident. You can choose it yourself. , Do you want to enter the Ten Absolute Mountains?"
Yan Shunbei explained the whole thing clearly with a few simple words.
After he finished speaking, he backed away, as if he didn't want to say more.
The front of Shijue Mountain became noisy again, and it was the first time for many sects to hear such a thing.
The huge square in front of Shijue Mountain is noisy, and the ten sects of the four worlds will always change in a hundred years.
Some sects may decline, and some new sects will rise strongly after producing several talented disciples in succession.
Sects such as Tianhai Pavilion have become stronger day by day after receiving the lost inheritance in the past, and finally became one of the top ten sects in the Northern Realm this time.
So some of these people are probably the first to hear about it.
Meng Qi stood there quietly, it had nothing to do with her, she always wanted to go.
She restrained her consciousness and swept across her spiritual sea.
On the spiritual sea, the Five Spirit Cauldron was still floating in it, and the inner alchemy was slowly turning, wisps of spiritual energy first entered the Five Spirit Cauldron, and then fell into Meng Qi's spiritual sea.
The bamboo slip that Lin Yan left for her was wrapped in spiritual energy.
Now she still can't see some content, and the part she can see has already been memorized.
Meng Qi quietly waited for those people to finish their discussion.
It's not just her, Yan Xuan, Si Kongxing also didn't speak.
Not many people in the sects with a long heritage speak up, and comparing opportunities is always accompanied by risks.
What's more, the sect masters who were able to come here all went to participate in the auction of the Tianzihao Floating Island.
Although most of them failed to buy the jade slips from Tianwaitian, but they were able to follow into Shijue Mountain, who knows what will happen next
Even if those sects who bought the jade slips ate the meat, they might be able to drink some soup afterward.
So there was a lot of commotion in the square, and a sect master said, "Thank you Yan sect master for your kindness, but since everyone has already arrived here, and they are all cultivators, there is no reason to turn around and run away when they hear the danger. Haha, Hahaha."
His bold laughter was indeed echoed by a group of people, and soon someone said: "Yes, Master Yan, we have already considered it, and we will not hesitate or be afraid."
Some sect masters even said: "Since this is a once-in-ten-thousand-year grand opening, it's even more important to go in and have a look. I'm afraid I'll regret it if I come back after passing through the treasure mountain."
"Master Yan, don't try to persuade you to quit." At this moment, a lazy voice came from the crowd.
A middle-aged male cultivator in a green robe strode towards the center of the square, and it was Ling Ji.
There are quite a few people who know Ling Ji here, and immediately someone saluted and greeted him.
Ling Ji returned the salute casually, and strode towards Yan Shunbei's side: "Let's go, let's go, don't wait any longer. Climb early, finish early, and go home early. If these children move fast, they might be able to catch up with this year's Longevity Festival."
There was a burst of laughter from the crowd, and Ling Ji told jokes, no matter how cold it was, there were more people to cheer him on.
"By the way, where's Meng Qi?" Ling Ji had already stood beside Yan Shunbei, who was already a head taller than everyone else.
He immediately looked around, looking for Meng Qilai among the crowd.
Meng Qi was taken aback, she never expected that Senior Ling Ji would look for her without any concealment in front of so many people.
"Meng Qi." Ling Ji's eyes were so good, he quickly found her.
Everyone didn't see him move, they saw a flash of green shadow, and he landed in front of Meng Qi.
"Are you ready?" Ling Ji asked.
In the entire square, there are at least a thousand cultivators.
At this time, everyone's eyes were all focused on Meng Qi.
"Yeah." Meng Qi nodded blankly.
"It's okay, go in and climb hard, find a place to rest if you can't climb, and then wait for Shijue Mountain to close, and you will come out."
As Ling Ji spoke, he raised his right hand.
His eyes looked at Meng Qi's, his slender right hand stopped in the air, and seemed to tremble slightly.
Then Meng Qi felt a weight on her head, and Ling Ji's hand fell down, pressing on her hair: "I'll wait here."
He smiled slightly at Meng Qi, but deep in his eyes, there was hidden worry.
The entire square was still quiet.
Everyone stared blankly at this scene, as if they saw something mysterious.
Of course, everyone knows about Duankongmen Lingji.
The most talented sword cultivator in the previous generation, that Ling Ji who once performed miracles, ignored the danger of falling into the sea of stars, and fought in and out several times.
It was also the Ling Ji who was used to being idle like a wild crane.
Since he blatantly took away the head of the Duankong Sect from his senior brother, some people guessed that the sky of Duankong City might change.
That Ling Ji, who seemed to have been living in seclusion for eighteen years, reappeared in the eyes of everyone with such a powerful figure, and people were all guessing why.
Everyone also stared blankly at the scene in front of them.
So Ling Ji and Meng Qi... what the hell is this? !
Wasn't Duankongmen looking for this nun earlier
Ling Ji to Meng Qi, he... he...
Everyone was full of questions, but no one dared to ask Ling Ji.
You want to ask someone, but first ask about the sword in his hand, okay
How many people would dare to plunder the edge of Ling Ji's sword? !
At this time, some people have gradually come to their senses.
Ling Ji told Meng Qi that he would wait for her here.
So if Meng Qi didn't come out, what would Ling Ji do
Some people's faces changed instantly, and some people showed faint smiles on their faces.
"...Okay." Meng Qi stayed for a moment, then nodded, and said in a low voice that only two people could hear: "Thank you, senior."
"Since fellow daoists are all ready, then..."
As Yan Shunbei spoke, he slowly raised his hand.
Behind him, a bright moon is rising along with his movements.
If it wasn't for the fact that the sky was already dark and the moon was already rising in the sky, Meng Qi would almost have thought that it was the moon in the sky.
Si Kongxing stood closer to her and held Meng Qi's hand even tighter.
Both of them felt the sweat and tension in each other's palms from each other's hands, Yan Xuan said in a low voice: "This is what I passed down from ancient times, Jingyue."
He looked up at the bright moon that was slowly lifted up by his father's hand. The moonlight poured down like water, enveloping everyone in the square.
Meng Qi felt a clear feeling swept over her limbs, even her spiritual sea, which made her very comfortable.
As if being caressed by the moonlight, even the aura became more condensed.
Yan Xuan quietly watched this scene that he was not unfamiliar with at all.
When he was a teenager, Shijue Mountain was opened that time. Although his father didn't let him in, he also quietly ran to the square to watch once.
But at that time, there were not so many people, and he vaguely felt that some things in the Three Thousand Worlds had changed after all.
"After entering..." Yan Xuan said, and stuffed a small jade pendant into Meng Qi's palm, "Hold it, don't put it in the storage bag, so even if we separate, I can still find you."
"Okay." Meng Qi held the jade pendant tightly.
The bright moon is getting higher and higher, but the moonlight is gradually fading away.
Soon, those cultivators who stood closer to the front disappeared in place as the moonlight faded away.
Meng Qi saw the brothers and sisters Xue Chengxuan, Qin Xiumo, Li Che who was with him from Canglang Academy, and Chu Tianfeng who was standing beside his father...
There were originally a lot of people in the square, and each sect could only enter three people.
Now that there are less than a hundred people, even if it doesn't look empty, it still doesn't have the excitement just now.
The moonlight receded faster and faster, and soon reached Meng Qi's place.
She lowered her head, watching the moonlight brush past her fingers and arms at last, and then completely suppressed it.
Meng Qi's eyes gradually darkened as the moonlight left.
In the end, she only felt that her eyes went dark, and her surroundings seemed to become empty. With the mountain wind blowing her hair, Meng Qi's body swayed again, and her feet had already stepped on the ground.
She quickly opened her eyes and found that she was standing on a meadow. In the distance, towering green hills towered into the clouds and pierced into the sky, which seemed to split this place in two.
Is that the Ten Absolute Mountains
Meng Qi stared there for a long time. When she saw it at Jingyue Tianzong, she didn't feel that the Ten Jue Mountains were so majestic.
Because after leaving Shijue Mountain, no one knew what happened in it, so the cultivators didn't know how to climb this mountain before entering here.
The only thing those cultivators who left here remembered was whether they reached the summit or not.
Meng Qi looked around, but did not see Si Kongxing and the others.
They all thought that after entering Shijue Mountain, they would be at the foot of the mountain, and they would just climb up together.
I didn't expect it to be so big here.
As far as she could see, this piece of grassland was so vast that it was almost impossible to see the end at a glance.
So this time there were just over a hundred people who came in. It seemed that everyone was sent to different places.
Meng Qi looked down at her palm, the little jade pendant was still there.
Yan Xuan said that she didn't want to keep the storage bag, so she hung it on her belt, and then walked towards Shijue Mountain.
Meng Qicai took a step forward, when a loud and deep voice suddenly sounded in his ear.
The voice seemed to come from ancient times, distant and empty: "Little friend, stop."
Meng Qi stopped as she said.
She looked around, but still saw no one.
"From here to Shijue Mountain, there is a total of one hundred miles." The voice continued: "The entrance to Shijue Mountain has been closed. A total of 130 people who entered Shijue Mountain this time will pass through the hundred miles. The ranking is based on the length of time. The Shijue Mountain is also hundreds of miles high. The first cultivator can go straight to the middle of the mountain. The rest of the cultivators will appear on the Shijue Mountain according to the ranking. The last cultivator will fall at the foot of the mountain. You understand ?"
"Yes." Meng Qi replied.
"Remember, the shorter the time, the better," said the voice again.
"Junior understands, thank you senior." Meng Qi didn't know who was talking, so she simply bowed to the front.
From this point of view, there is no way for Yan Xuan to join him. I just don't know if he can pass this hundred miles.
"Senior." Seeing that the voice stopped talking, Meng Qi saluted again, "This junior has a companion, although he is a cultivator of the hole, but now he only has the ability to practice Qi, may I ask him if he will also go through this?" Baili Grassland?"
"Naturally." The voice said: "You don't need to worry, this hundred miles is not for you, everyone can pass, and the problems you encounter are all problems that you can solve now."
"Okay, thank you senior." Meng Qi made a last bow.
"Go ahead," said the voice again.
Meng Qi took a deep breath, and reached out to touch her storage kit.
You can use storage kits here, she has tried it just now, and even the magic weapons she bought can be taken out at will.
That is to say, Ten Absolute Mountains does not limit you to any method, all you want is a result.
Meng Qi wanted to understand this, and walked forward.
Just as she took a step, the scene in front of her suddenly changed.
It was a scene of green grass and thriving just now. Now Meng Qi was standing on the edge of a swamp.
The water in the swamp was very muddy and gave off a strange smell.
A gray mist permeated the swamp, and in the mist were green, dots of light, which looked very frightening.
It seems that this is the beginning of the test.
She stared into the distance and could see a road in the middle of the swamp leading directly to the front. It would be more appropriate to say it was a single-plank bridge rather than a road.
It was a road paved with narrow and thin planks, which looked very dangerous.
Meng Qi took out a handful of medicinal herbs from the storage kit, and with a flick of his finger, the Five Spirit Cauldron had already flown out of the Linghai Sea.
She threw those herbs into the Five Spirit Cauldron, flicked her fingers, and embedded a handful of eighth-grade spirit stones under the belly of the Five Spirit Cauldron.
The spirit stone shimmered, and the Five Spirit Cauldron began to churn.
Almost in the blink of an eye, the medicinal fragrance overflowed from the Five Spirit Cauldron.
Meng Qi took a step forward, her talisman naturally had a tacit understanding with her.
The Five Spirit Cauldron flew to the top of her head, and the medicinal energy inside rolled and seeped out, completely enveloping Meng Qi.
