Tianfu Mountain,
The surrounding mountains are surrounded by mountains, showing the appearance of hidden dragons and crouching tigers. The clumsy peaks stand majestically into the clouds. There are clouds and mist above, and cold smoke below. Sometimes there are flying birds circling among the clumsy peaks, and occasionally mountain eagles roar in the mountains.
A main peak is indescribably majestic, like a blue dragon entrenched in the world. It is surrounded by the surging spiritual energy of heaven and earth. There are thousands of nebulae above its head and the vast earth beneath its feet. From time to time, there are powerful cultivators walking on swords, and some even sit and stand on it. The beast's back pierced through the void.
"Here we are, this is Tianfu Mountain!" Xia Hongzhuo introduced Ye Tianxing.
They arrived at the foot of Tianfu Mountain. There was smoke from the cooking pots in the hazy sky. There were human villages at the foot of the mountain. Looking at the houses made of bluestone that looked like small hills, Xing Tianxing's heart was filled with excitement.
He was born in such a small mountain village. The memories of the past emerged before his eyes. The appearance of his mother and father could not be removed. The family was considered happy and beautiful. However, the night spirit destroyed his home and it turned into ruins, except for There are some small pavilions that are still intact, but nothing is left.
"God, God!"
Seeing Ye Tianxing and others coming out of the air, these villagers knelt down excitedly and kowtowed to them with extremely respectful expressions.
Ye Tianxing raised his right hand slightly, and they were all lifted up.
"These are villagers living at the foot of our Tianfu Mountain. They are protected by Hanlinxuan and can survive in this place." Several people introduced the situation of the surrounding areas of Tianfu Mountain to Ye Tianxing.
The eight people stayed at the foot of the mountain for a while, and Ye Tianxing scanned the village. Children and the elderly were enjoying rare family happiness. The front of the village was all cultivated land, and the back of the village was close to Tianfu Mountain. Some livestock were raised, and they lived and worked in peace and contentment.
Under the leadership of Xia Hongzhuo, a group of eight people came to the Tianfu Mountain trailhead. A ladder soared straight into the sky, towering into the clouds. The ladder at this moment was full of ordinary people walking, as well as some weaker cultivators.
They stepped on the ladder one after another and climbed up step by step. Even the cultivators did not fly upward.
Ye Tianxing and the others had just flown here when a monk at the peak of Huayuan Realm stepped forward and stopped the group of eight people.
"It turns out to be Senior Brother Hongzhuo. Have you returned from completing your mission?" A young man wore a fiery red robe and held a three-foot green peak. He had a look of pride on his face. He glanced at the eight people and looked at Ye Tianxing. Stayed for a long time.
"We're back. Junior Brother Fang, thank you for your hard work guarding the mountain gate." Xia Hongzhuo nodded slightly at the young man. Although the two people spoke in a polite tone, they didn't seem to be friendly.
Standing at the mountain pass were several young men wearing fiery red robes, all of whom were disciples of Hanlinxuan.
"Senior Brother Hong Zhuo, your Zilan Palace went out to perform a mission this time and suffered heavy losses. A group of fifteen people went out, and only seven came back. Tsk." A young man below joked with a playful smile.
As soon as these words came out, Xia Hongzhuo's expression changed slightly, while Liu Shengxia and others clenched their fists, and their expressions immediately darkened.
"You don't need your Fire Temple to worry about it. If your Fire Temple carries out this mission, I'm afraid no one will come back!" Jiang Mingzhu snorted coldly.
"Really? Tsk, tsk, then you are really capable." One person sneered.
Ye Tianxing was standing by, frowning slightly. Listening to their conversation, he could hear some clues. The disciple below wearing a fiery red robe and Xia Hongzhuo were not from the same temple. The former was a disciple of the Fire Temple, and the latter was a disciple of the Fire Temple. The disciples of Zilan Palace, the relationship between the two palaces does not seem to be friendly.
"Brother Tianxing, I made you laugh, let's go." Xia Hongzhuo ignored them and led the way.
"stop!"
The young man surnamed Fang snorted coldly and blocked their way, "Senior Brother Xia, you can fly up the mountain, but he can't. Foreign cultivators must walk up the Stairway to Heaven, you should know it."
"Fang Shaojie, he is the person we brought back to join Hanlinxuan. The sect has rules. All talents with outstanding talents who want to join our Hanlinxuan do not have to go through the ladder." Xia Hongzhuo replied coldly, with a smile on his face just now. A touch of coldness appeared on it.
"Oh? You also said that it is the Tianjiao Immortal Miao. Do you have to prove it to us?"
"Yes, without proof, how do we know he is the Tianjiao Immortal Miao?" Another disciple said with a joking smile, stepping onto Konglai.
Beside Xia Hongzhuo, the faces of several Zilan Temple disciples darkened, and a hint of anger emerged, "Fang Shaojie, don't bully others too much. Why do we, the Zilan Temple people, need to prove to your Fire Temple! Keep an honest guard. Your ladder to heaven,"
"Hmph, it is precisely because our Fire Temple guards the ladder that we cannot allow you, the Zilan Temple, to mess around. No one can be an exception!"
At this moment, behind Ye Tianxing and a few others, another wave of people came through the void. The young man at the head stepped on a flying sword. There was also a woman in a white dress on the flying sword. Among the thirteen people, there were five. People are ordinary people.
Seeing the visitor, several young men from the Fire Temple immediately stepped forward and bowed slightly with smiles on their faces, "Senior Brother Lu and Senior Sister Ding, have you gone down the mountain to find five fairy seedlings again?"
"Well, all five of them came to join us at Hanlinxuan, and they all have earth-level spiritual roots." The young man at the head smiled calmly, folded his hands on his chest, and looked at Ye Tianxing and the others, with a touch of pride between his eyebrows. gas.
"Senior Brother Lu, Senior Sister Ding." Except for Xia Hongzhuo, the other disciples of Zilan Palace all bowed slightly to the young man and the beautiful woman who led them.
Both the young man and the woman were wearing the same clothes. They were neither from the Zilan Palace nor from the Fire Palace. Yan Zeming guessed that they were from other palaces in the Hanlin Pavilion.
"Hong Zhuo, are you back from your mission?" The young man glanced at Xia Hongzhuo and the others one by one, and suddenly clicked his tongue.
"Tsk, tsk, why are you in such a mess? Fifteen people went out in the morning, and only seven of you came back?" There was a touch of disdain on the young man's seemingly anxious face, and the other disciples behind him looked at them with disdain.
From their expressions, Ye Tianxing could preliminarily judge that the disciples of Zilan Palace did not seem to be welcomed by other palaces in Hanlin Palace.
"We were attacked by the Silver Wolf King and experienced a narrow escape from death." Xia Hongzhuo said solemnly.
"Oh, that's really a blessing. You can escape from the Silver Wolf King. It seems that the junior brothers and sisters have improved a lot. This year's palace competition seems to be promising." The young man smiled playfully, and Xia Hongzhuo and others looked at each other. It doesn't look good. There is a hint of anger in his heart, but he doesn't dare to show it. The young man in charge is clearly a master in the early stage of the Concentration Realm.
"Who is this brother?" His eyes fell on Yan Zeming.
"Back to senior brother, his name is Ye Tianxing. It was he who saved us from the Silver Wolf King. He is a casual cultivator, and now he is willing to defect to our Hanlin Pavilion." Xia Hongzhuo explained.
"He saved you from the Silver Wolf King?" Lu Songxian's face showed a hint of amusement, and a sense of consciousness shrouded Ye Tianxing unscrupulously. He wanted to spy on him, but Ye Tianxing did not deliberately stop him. The former could only watch at most. When he reached his spiritual roots, he couldn't see anything inside his body.
"Low-grade spiritual roots of the earth? Or illusory earth spiritual roots? Tsk tsk, brother, your spiritual roots were taken from others, right?" The young man's voice suddenly became much colder.
"If you think it is, then it is." Ye Tianxing didn't want to explain anything. Even if he explained to them the origin of his earth spirit root, they might not believe it.
"Oh, I still have some temper. It's a pity that the low-grade spiritual roots of the earth level that were deprived of them are not even human-level spiritual roots. From now on, it will be difficult to improve the realm. The strength of the Guiyuan realm is everywhere in Hanlinxuan. , One more person is not more, one less person is not more." The man sneered, then waved his sleeves and robes, and left with his sword.
"Farewell, senior brother!" Fang Shaojie and others bowed.
Lu Songxian and others rushed towards the mountain, and a young man behind them came up and sneered, "Brother, do you really think these guys have met the Silver Wolf King?"
"Humph, how is it possible? There is indeed a Silver Wolf King in the Half Moon Bay generation, but his strength is comparable to that of the Concentrating Soul Realm. The people from the Wind Temple encountered the Silver Wolf King once, and in the end only one person escaped in embarrassment. With Xia Hongzhuo's strength, If I encounter you, can I come back?"
"Eighty percent are just encountering a more powerful monster. Otherwise, Jiang Mingzhu and the others would never be able to escape with their strength."
Several people nodded when they heard this.
"However, the guy they brought back looks very powerful, with a restrained and powerful aura."
"What's so great about that? A deprived of a low-grade spiritual root. No matter how hard it is to improve his strength, he will always be in the return-to-origin state. Furthermore, maybe he has been practicing for decades, and his talent is not as good as You and I have gone too far."
"That's true. If in a few years, I will definitely be able to step into the Concentration Realm, what will the Guiyuan Realm be?" A young man at the peak of the Guiyuan Realm sneered.
"As disciples of the Wind Temple, we should take a long-term view. Don't always compare yourself with those losers in the Zilan Temple. Our goal is the true pride of heaven in those Holy Lands!"
"Senior brother is absolutely right!"
…
Piedmont.
"Brother, if you want to join our Hanlin Pavilion, just go up the Stairway to Heaven," Fang Shaojie smiled, "However, in your current state, no matter how hard it is to improve your strength, you may not be accepted into Hanlin Pavilion. I kindly advise you. Just tell me, don’t go up the mountain and humiliate yourself, just go back where you came from.”
"Fang Shaojie, what do you mean!?" Xia Hongzhuo and others became angry when they heard this.
"What? Senior Brother Xia wants to force his way through by relying on his higher level than us?"
"Fang Shaojie, you are going too far. Senior Brother Lu and others are taking ordinary people up the mountain. Why don't you stop them? I think you are deliberately looking for trouble!"
"Yes, boys from the Fire Temple, let me tell you, our Zilan Temple is not easy to bully. If you dare to stop us again, don't blame us for being rude to you!"
The atmosphere suddenly became tense, and an elegant and gentle voice suddenly sounded in my ears, "We are all fellow disciples, who are we going to be rude to?"
The sound fell and the breeze came slowly.
A woman stepped down from the mountain. She had bright eyes and white teeth, and a fluttering white skirt. She was as beautiful as a hibiscus emerging from the water. She stepped down so lightly, her beautiful eyes shimmering with waves, like a lotus growing in a quiet valley, and her whole body was surging. With an invisible fairy charm, three thousand green silk threads hang down from the fragrant shoulders, drifting randomly in the gentle breeze in front of the mountain.
It is difficult to find a single flaw on her body. Although she is not as celestial as Ji Lan, she can still be regarded as stunningly beautiful.
As soon as she stepped over, the crowd's eyes were immediately attracted to her, and even Ye Tianxing's eyes lingered on her. If he had to describe her in one sentence, what he thought of was, Zhongtiandi's wise spirit, peerless in the world. Tacky.
