early morning.
Yu Ye walked out of the cave.
He held two wild orchids in his hands.
He put away the pearls in the cave, the spiritual tablets on the stone tables, and the ghost cultivating formations.
Yu Ye walked to the edge of the cliff, dug two holes, planted wild orchids in them, and cultivated them with fresh soil.
A slender figure walked behind him.
"Are you... planning to leave and never come back?"
Yu Ye clapped his hands and stood up, saying, "Why do you say this?"
It's Yuxing.
She looked at the empty cave and the wild orchids on the ground, bit her lip and hesitated to speak.
"Oh, the trip to Kongtong Realm lasts for one month. I was afraid that the wild orchid would not be taken care of, so I sent it back to its favorite place."
Yu Ye stretched out his hand and gestured: "This wild orchid is a gift from you. Maybe I have been waiting for it slowly, and it has not bloomed yet!"
A smile appeared on Yuxing's face, and she said angrily: "If I had known this, I should have given the wild orchid to me. Forget it, I will come and take care of it every day!" She turned over her hand and took out something with a hint of shyness and expectation. He said again: "The Kongtong realm is very dangerous, so I will give you this mysterious armor talisman for self-defense!"
A talisman made of fine jade!
Talisman paper, animal skins and jade can all be used to refine talismans. Jade talismans are the most powerful and precious.
Yu Ye was startled when he suddenly saw another woman and the Sancai Formation Flag presented by her. He waved his hand hurriedly and refused: "I am not short of self-defense treasures. Farewell!"
"Just accept it..."
Yu Xing still wanted to persuade, but Yu Ye turned around and left.
She still held up the jade talisman in her hand, and the smile on her face gradually disappeared.
Follow the winding stone stairs to reach Qianshan.
Groups of disciples gathered in front of Bohai Pavilion.
Yu Ye arrived in a hurry and was greeted by Dang Guiyi, Mu Sha, Shang Xin and Hong Qiaoer.
"Junior Brother Yu, what day is this, and you are so late?"
"I'm going to tidy up a little bit, I don't dare to delay!"
Today is the day to go to Kongtong Realm. Not only Danggui and others came to see him off, but many fellow disciples also gathered here. There are more than a hundred people participating in the Yunchuan Tianjue this time, all of whom are masters of the fifth level of Qi refining or above. Of course, there are exceptions. Yu Ye is the only outer disciple at the fourth level of Qi Refining.
After Dang Guiyi complained, he reluctantly said: "Junior brother Yu, you must come back alive. If there is one less person to throw stones at, we will not suffer a loss!"
Yu Ye rolled his eyes, shook his head and was speechless.
Mu Sha, Shang Xin and Hong Qiaoer warned softly——
"Be careful here!"
"Waiting for your return!"
"Take care of yourself……"
They are both outer disciples and have been getting along for a long time. They are honest with each other and have a sense of brotherhood.
At this time, the deacon Chang Ming, the masters Xin Jian and Mo Xiao walked to the stone platform in front of Bohai Pavilion.
All the disciples prayed and met.
Chang Ming took a step forward and said: "There are one hundred and twenty-eight outer disciples participating in the Yunchuan Tianjue this time. Junior Brother Xin Jian and Junior Sister Mo Xiao will take you to Kongtong Realm. Chang He will also accompany him, leaving Senior Brother Xiangxu as a housekeeper..."
Yu Ye stood in the crowd and looked around.
Although the fortunes in Kongtong were unpredictable, more than a hundred disciples still made the trip. Among them are some older disciples, some of whom are already gray-haired. They are still willing to take risks to look for opportunities. Their devotion to the Tao is admirable!
However, there are also deceitful and ambitious people, such as Chen Qi and Ming Ye...
"The time has come, let's go down the mountain——"
After Chang Ming explained the rules and related matters of Yunchuan Tianjue, he ordered everyone to set off.
Yu Ye said goodbye to Dang Guiyi, Mu Sha and others, but saw Yu Xing also appeared on the mountain terrace. He was about to raise his hand to signal, but the other party walked directly towards Yu Xing. No need to think too much, they came here to see off their clan brother.
Dang Guiyi, Musa, Shang Xin and others then saw each other off.
Dang Guiyi seemed to feel doubly disappointed and said with emotion: "I think back then, I took Junior Brother Yu to slay demons and conquer all directions. How satisfying it was. Now that his wings have become stronger and he wants to fly solo, I can't take advantage of him. Already..."
Yu Ye is not flying alone, but has more than a hundred companions.
Everyone walked down the mountain along the stone stairs.
After a while, they arrived at the foot of Jishui Peak, climbed over an adjacent hill, and finally arrived at the mountain gate. After leaving the mountain gate, Chang Ming stepped on his sword and left. Xin Jian and Mo Xiao walked with their disciples, one leading the way and the other following behind, so as to look after each other. The disciples used the light body technique and headed south. There were more than a hundred monks, and they all gave way to passers-by on the way...
In the evening, a valley appeared ahead.
Kongtong Valley.
This place is located southwest of Yunchuan Peak, more than three hundred miles away. At the southern end of the valley, there are towering cliffs and majestic mountains. Between the cliffs hundreds of feet high, a mist-filled canyon can be seen.
It is said that the canyon is the Kongtong realm.
More than a hundred outer disciples arrived in the valley one after another and rested on the spot.
Yu Ye also found a piece of grass and sat down, and couldn't help but take a few deep breaths. From morning to evening, he ran non-stop for more than three hundred miles. With his current cultivation level, it was no problem. Most of his fellow travelers were disciples of the seventh, eighth, and ninth levels of Qi Refining, and they all ran too fast. He was afraid of falling behind, so he could only catch up with all his strength, and he couldn't help but feel a little tired.
"Disciples rest here and are not allowed to move around without authorization. The older disciples, please take care of your junior brothers and sisters. Wait until early tomorrow morning and follow your orders!"
Xin Jian checked the number of disciples and found that there were no more than 128 disciples. He gave an order and left with Mo Xiao.
Three or five miles away from the resting place, there were several other groups of people gathered. There might be elders from Baichuan Hall and Shenqi Hall among them, but it was getting late and they couldn't see clearly.
Yu Ye Shang looked intently, and a faint scent of fragrance floated in the wind. He couldn't help but feel nervous, but he still couldn't help but glance up.
Bai Zhi arrived casually, stretched out her hand to wipe the hem of her clothes, and sat down not far from him.
Along the way, the two of them didn't seem to know each other, and neither of them paid attention to each other. At this time, she took the initiative to approach. Could it be that she had something to say?
"It is already October. At this time, Baijia Village should be rustling in the autumn wind and with colorful fallen leaves. However, the jujube trees at the head of the village are a bit red with frost. They are the favorites of children. The sweetness of jujubes is still unforgettable..."
Yu Ye's tense mind suddenly relaxed.
Baijia Village and Yujia Village are only a few dozen miles apart, so the scenes in autumn and winter are no different. When Bai Zhi talked about the past in his hometown, he couldn't help but recall the days in Xingyuan Valley.
"In the blink of an eye, more than ten years have passed. If I had not become a Taoist disciple, I would have become a married woman, a wife and a mother. What about you?"
"I...I just want to be a man like daddy, and he is gone!"
"Everything in the world is confusing, whether it's fate or evil! My uncle's death was actually related to overseas monks. At that moment, you and I couldn't help ourselves."
The same words and the same past events made Yu Ye lower his guard, and also made Bai Zhi feel a little closer to her.
"Have you ever thought about going home?"
"Um!"
"I want to return to Xuanhuang Mountain and rebuild the Taoist Gate."
"I want to hold the enemy's head and worship the tribesmen who died tragically!"
"You still can't let go of your grudge against Chen?"
"Can you let go of the disaster of Xuanhuang Mountain?"
"The strong are easy to break, but the soft will last forever. Heaven is merciless, and destiny is determined by natural selection. This is the purpose of this trip to Kongtong Realm!"
"I'm just a mortal, I don't know so much!"
Bai Zhi probably can't let go of her hatred, but she knows how to work around it. The thirty-two lives of Yujiacun were always weighing on Yuye's heart. He could not forget or let go. If he could not avenge them, what would be the use of cultivating immortality.
"That's it for now, let's talk about the present. A group of fellow Taoists are coming over there, do you see it?"
"Can't see clearly."
"I learned from Chen Qi that every year when the Kongtong Realm opens, there will be casual cultivators, family disciples, or other immortal sect disciples from all walks of life coming to look for opportunities."
"Can other monks also participate in the Yunchuan Heavenly Jue?"
"Heaven's Judgment is just a saying of the Immortal Sect. But under the opportunity, everyone is equal. Therefore, it will not prevent others from entering the Kongtong Realm."
"You mean..."
"Someone may be against you, so be careful!"
Bai Zhichuan gave an instruction, closed her eyes and breathed out.
Yu Ye still wanted to ask more questions, but had to give up and looked around, lost in thought alone.
Who will be unfavorable to him during this trip to Kongtong Realm?
Either Chen Qi or Ming Ye.
At this time, the two of them couldn't see anything unusual. If something happened, it would definitely be related to the outside monks.
And since he is a genius, if he fails to pass this level in the wild, he will be unlucky. No wonder others are plotting. Let's look at the success or failure of life and death, how will God choose!
Yu Ye took out the spirit stone and put it in his palm, slowly closing his eyes.
A few days ago, I asked Angelica to inquire about it. The Kongtong realm is thousands of miles in circumference, with countless treasures of heaven and earth, and birds and monsters everywhere. However, it is surrounded by mountains. There is only one exit, and it is sealed to avoid harming the peace of the world. The so-called Yunchuan Tianjue lasts for one month. You must return early, otherwise the consequences will be unpredictable...
It's early morning again.
A red sun jumped over the mountain.
Led by Xin Jian and Mo Xiao, Yu Ye and his fellow disciples arrived a hundred feet away from the canyon.
Perhaps to avoid suspicion or fear of being implicated, Bai Zhi has left him and gathered with Chen Qi, Gu Muzi, Yu Gu and others.
Separated by dozens of feet, there were more than a hundred people gathered, with different ages, looks, and costumes. Although it was difficult to tell the depth of their cultivation, there was no doubt that they were all monks. Compared with the uniform robes worn by the Yunchuan Immortal Sect disciples, that group of monks obviously came from a different place.
Chang Ming, Hong Lie, three other middle-aged men, and two old men stood in front of the canyon. The three middle-aged men should be senior foundation builders. An old man was Fang Xunzi from Baichuan Hall. Another old man, with a strong body, a ruddy complexion, and an unfamiliar appearance, should also be an expert at the Golden Core stage.
At this time, the weather was fine.
The canyon is still shrouded in thick fog.
On both sides of the canyon, cliffs reach into the sky, forming a barrier, sealing off the mysterious Kongtong realm.
The seven senior figures of the Yunchuan Immortal Sect nodded to each other, then walked towards the canyon together, stopped more than ten feet away, and cast a series of spells at the same time.
"Rumble--"
There was a roar, followed by the earth shaking, and then strong winds rolled in smoke and dust, forcing everyone waiting at the scene to retreat. At this moment, the fog shrouding the canyon opened a hole. The seven seniors of Yunchuan Immortal Sect put away their magic formulas, and Fang Xunzi among them raised his voice——
"Yunchuan Tianjue begins on the fifteenth day of October and ends on the fifteenth day of next month. We, Fang Xunzi and Elder Heshan, are waiting here for the return of all disciples. Comrades from all sides who have heard the news, please also take care of it. , Seize the opportunity wisely!”
Chang Ming then spoke out——
"There is a difference between the inside and outside of Kongtong. For the sake of fairness, outside foundation-builders are not allowed to enter. My two masters who teach Kung Fu will accompany you to supervise it to prevent unscrupulous people from causing trouble secretly!"
Among the crowd, Yu Ye nodded secretly.
That strange old man was Elder Heshan from Shenqitang.
However, the Immortal Sect is very thoughtful and does not allow outside foundation-building monks to enter the Kongtong Realm, and has two masters who teach them to accompany them to supervise them, which really avoids potential dangers.
Even if Ming Ye wants to cause harm, I'm afraid he won't be able to succeed.
Then he saw Xin Jin taking the lead towards the canyon, waving his hand and shouting: "Disciples of Baichuan Hall, follow me -"
