The night in the Bluestone Mountains seems even quieter.
Especially at this time, there was deathly silence everywhere.
The dark and dim depths of the forest give people an invisible psychological pressure. It seems that they can vaguely hear the rustling sounds of ghosts and spirits, which makes people feel a strong sense of fear from the bottom of their hearts.
Nangong Yun grew up in Fengming Mountain and was no stranger to nights in the mountains.
What was strange to him was that at this moment he actually faintly heard a mysterious voice coming from the forest ahead.
Nangong Yun quickened his pace and walked towards the woods ahead.
Before he could get closer, he was suddenly knocked back by an unparalleled wave of soul power.
"Who trespasses on my forbidden area?!"
A thick and powerful sound of soul power spread within a hundred feet around the woods.
Nangong Yun instantly judged that the opponent's strength and cultivation were at least the third level of the stars.
Because he had just helped Lan Yue break through to the Star Realm before, so he was more familiar with the strength of the Star Realm.
This man's soul power pressure has surpassed that of Lan Yue, but he is not as domineering as Wan Zhentian. Nangong Yun vaguely judged that his strength should be at this level.
Then, he suppressed the doubts in his heart and spoke slowly.
"Xia Yun Mietian, I'm just passing by, no offense intended, please forgive me!"
After a while, the voice was heard again.
"Who are you? You are sneaking around in the forest in the middle of the night. Do you know where this place is?"
When Nangong Yun heard that the other party didn't seem to want to let him go easily.
Moreover, this seems to be his training place.
He barged in unintentionally. If it interfered with his cultivation, it was normal for the other party to be slightly annoyed when he spoke.
"I am a disciple of Wanxiang Sect, and I was on my way to Qingshi County, so I passed by here. I didn't expect to disturb my senior's practice. I'm really sorry, I'll take a detour right now!"
Nangong Yun deliberately claimed that he was a disciple of Wanxiang Sect, because this place was originally the sphere of influence of Wanxiang Sect and was very close to Qingshi County.
By saying this, he not only showed the other party that he had Wanxiang Sect as his backer, but also was testing. Maybe the other party was a master from Wanxiang Sect who came to Qingshi County.
"Oh? You are my disciple, how is that possible? Come into the forest."
Hearing that the other party's tone suddenly became gentle, Nangong Yun lowered his guard slightly. Thinking again, if he said that he was his disciple, then this person must be a master of Wanxiang Sect.
Nangong Yun felt a little hesitant, but he was very sure that this person was definitely not Wan Zhentian.
In this case, he must have never seen himself, so Nangong Yun boldly entered the woods.
After not walking far, Nangong Yun came to the door of a quiet Yashe.
It turned out that this expert built a small building in the bluestone mountains.
Judging from the age of the structural wood of this small building, this person must have lived here for a long time, or this may be his fixed training ground.
Nangong Yun felt that the other party was a strong person of the third level of the stars, so he did not dare to be careless at all, and clasped his fists outside the small building gate to ask for instructions.
"I've already arrived at the door of senior. I don't dare to make any mistakes. Please give me permission, senior!"
"Well! Your disciple knows etiquette very well, so come in now!"
Immediately, he saw the wooden door of the small building slowly and automatically opened. It was obviously done by the master using his mysterious power to separate the air. Nangong Yun couldn't help but feel moved.
Because, judging from the intensity of the profound energy he released, this person's cultivation level is probably not only at the third level of the stars, but also has faint signs of the fourth level.
Nangong Yun moved into the small house and saw an old man with white hair standing with his back to the door and his hands behind his back.
He was dressed in gray robes and had a tall body.
Generally, at his age, he can still have such a strong waist, which means that he advanced to the star realm very early, so his body shape will not age too much.
But I saw the old man slowly turning around, with a kind and kind face full of energy and looking very approachable.
Under his white eyebrows, he could see a pair of round, round eyes that were full of embarrassment. After looking at Nangong Yun for a while, he asked with a smile.
"Which helm are you a disciple of? Why have you never heard of it before?"
The old man's question was very direct, because he saw Nangong Yun's level of cultivation, but he looked like he was only seventeen or eighteen years old at most. How could such a disciple never be discovered by anyone!
Nangong Yun naturally saw the old man's confused look, and then respectfully answered with his fists clasped.
"I am a disciple who has just joined the Wanxiang Sect and has not officially gone up the mountain yet. This time I am going up the mountain to meet the sect leader!"
"Oh, that's it. I mean, how could a young genius like you stay at the helm with no name?"
The old man smiled and continued.
"Then where are you from?"
"I'm from the Donghuang Yun family!"
Nangong Yun still pretends to be a disciple of the Donghuang Yun family.
Of course, there is indeed a Yun family in Donghuang. These are what he heard from his master Huang He since he was a child.
"Donghuang? The Yun family?"
The old man seemed to have some doubts and thought to himself.
Nangong Yun felt a little nervous. Could it be that this old man knew Donghuang very well.
Considering that at his age and being a master of the third level of the stars, it is very possible that he has been to Donghuang in person, and it is very likely that his nonsense will be seen through by him.
Immediately, Nangong Yunqiang continued calmly.
"Yes, this junior is a disciple of the Yun family in the Eastern Barren. Because of a grudge against someone, he had no choice but to leave the Eastern Barren and come to the Western Region!"
"Oh, so that's it. It's just that the Yun family has a transcendent status in Donghuang. Who did you have a grudge against that couldn't even save the Yun family and forced you to leave Donghuang?"
The white-haired old man still smiled and asked Nangong Yun in confusion.
"It's because I offended someone, and his grandfather is related to the elders of the Donghuang Presbyterian Church, so our Yun family had no choice but to let me run away overnight!"
Nangong Yun had deceived Wu Tianyong like this before. Just in case, he couldn't change his story anymore.
Although no one here at Wanxiang Mountain knew what he had done in Wanshou City, he couldn't take risks, so he continued to say this.
The old man nodded and said.
"In this case, there is really nothing we can do. Although the Yun family is powerful, it cannot compete with the Presbyterian Council in the Eastern Wasteland!"
Then the old man slowly sat down and stretched out his hand to signal Nangong Yun to sit opposite him.
Nangong Yun also bowed his fist in humility and thanked him, then sat down.
Just listen to the white-haired old man continue to speak.
"I am Gu Hongshan, the elder of Wanxiang Sect. It is fate that I meet you today. I have been practicing in this small bluestone building, and I haven't been out for many years. If I hadn't happened to break through the realm today, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to Meet you!"
Nangong Yun was immediately shocked when he heard this. It turned out that the white-haired old man in front of him was Gu Hongshan, one of the founders of Wanxiang Sect!
However, the turmoil in his heart was perfectly concealed by his calm and calm appearance, and he said with a smile.
"Congratulations to senior for your breakthrough in cultivation, I believe it will greatly increase the prestige of our Wanxiang Sect in the future!"
Nangong Yun wasted no time in flattering Gu Hongshan, and he expected that he would be very useful.
However, I found that he just smiled and nodded, not much different from before.
Nangong Yun murmured in his heart, thinking that a strong man with his level of cultivation would no longer care too much about other people's praise.
What's more, he is a young boy who seems to be a young boy like him.
At this time, I heard Gu Hongshan sigh.
"Well, it's a bit of comfort to be able to make a breakthrough now. I don't know if I can make further progress and reach that level of cultivation in my lifetime!"
Nangong Yun thought that what he hoped for might be the peak of the Star Realm.
After all, beyond that realm, you may come into contact with the City in the Sky, which will definitely be a paradise for practitioners!
Then, he also said with a smile.
"The ancient elder will definitely be able to make a breakthrough soon and form the heart of the stars. Perhaps such a state will not be unattainable!"
Gu Hongshan also smiled slightly when he heard Nangong Yun say this, then looked at Nangong Yun carefully and said with a smile.
"You are full of confidence in your cultivation, but also, with a genius like you and your current cultivation, I'm afraid it won't be long before you can break through to the Star Realm!"
Nangong Yun also smiled modestly when he heard this.
"Elder Gu is very grateful. If I can be appreciated by the sect master and be accepted as a direct disciple, under his personal guidance, I may be able to break through to the Star Realm within ten years!"
Nangong Yun said this deliberately. Of course, in order to praise Wan Zhentian, he reluctantly said it was within ten years.
Because, in the eyes of others, if he wants to break through to the Star Realm, he will have to wait until he is at least thirty years old.
At this time, Gu Hongshan slowly shook his head and said with a smile.
"You are extremely talented. If you have his guidance and full cultivation, I think it will never take that long!"
"Haha, thanks to Elder Meng's respect, I want to join Wanxiang Mountain and strive for an early breakthrough. In this case, maybe I can go home and have a look in a few years!"
The reason why Nangong Yun said this was because he was afraid that Gu Hongshan would become suspicious.
Because he had just joined the Wanxiang Sect not long ago, it would look suspicious if he didn't miss his hometown at all.
Therefore, he not only had to say that he was very eager to join the Wanxiang Sect and be able to improve his realm, but he also had to pretend that he had left home not long ago and was still thinking about it.
However, he didn't realize that from the beginning to now, Gu Hongshan's only expression was a smile.
Even when he sighed because of the difficulty of cultivation, he still had a smile on his lips.
How can a person have only one emotion and one look? No matter how kind and approachable he is, he cannot only have this one expression.
At this time, I heard Gu Hongshan say with a smile.
"I mean, it's very likely that you can break through to the Star Realm within a year or two!"
When Nangong Yun heard this, the smile on his face suddenly disappeared.
"When did you find out?"
"From the beginning."
Nangong Yun's expression was a little stiff. He didn't expect that he would be discovered from the beginning.
But he was confused. Until now, Gu Hongshan still had no murderous intention in his body.
"It seems I was too naive and thought I could hide it from you!"
"You could have been more satisfied than me!"
"Why?!"
Nangong Yun didn't understand what Gu Hongshan meant.
If Gu Hongshan knew from the beginning that his true cultivation was at the peak of Yuanhun, instead of only at the seventh level of Yuanhun, then he should have had doubts.
Because a person who deliberately hides his cultivation realm cannot avoid being suspected by others, let alone within the sphere of influence of Wanxiang Sect.
At this time, Gu Hongshan stroked his long beard and smiled.
"It's because of your name!"
