The sky is high and the clouds are clear, and the breeze is refreshing.
In this pleasant golden autumn September, Shushan ushered in the summit meeting that takes place once every ten years.
Looking over there, walking forward majestic and high-spirited, is the team from Yinjian Peak. They are composed of three humanoid creatures and a golden retriever. They are high-spirited and walking vigorously...
"Why are there so many people?" Liu Xiaoyu nervously tugged on Chu Liang's clothes from behind.
The little girl has never seen such a big scene since she went up the mountain, so she is inevitably a little timid.
In fact, not to mention that she had never seen it, neither had Chu Liang, but he was still calm and said softly: "Just stand quietly, there are only a few people in Yinjian Peak. If you don't come, Master How can I go up to the stage to watch the ceremony, and I’m the only one left at the bottom?”
In the huge square of Tongtian Peak, disciples from various peaks in Shu Mountain lined up in dozens of lines under the leadership of their respective peak masters. Some teams have as many as a hundred people, and they are so majestic that they overwhelm those around them in terms of momentum.
Some teams only have a handful of three or two...and rely on monsters to blend in to support the scene.
A high platform has been set up in front of the square, and the top officials of Shushan, led by the four Zhenshan elders, are all sitting on top. In addition to them, there are also guests from the Nine Heavens and Ten Earthly Places and court officials from Yudu City watching the ceremony.
After all, it is an important event inherited from Shushan for thousands of years, and it is an old rule to come to watch the ceremony from all over the world. Not only to give Shushan face, but also to take this opportunity to see the quality of Shushan's new generation. The characters sent by various immortal sects to watch the ceremony are often of certain status, so they can represent their sect, and young people can also accompany them if they are interested.
Chu Liang looked far away and saw several familiar figures.
Standing on the other side of Tiangang Gate was a muscular man, naturally Yun Chaoxian who had told him he would come before. There seemed to be a woman beside him, whom Chu Liang didn't recognize.
Yun Chao Xianzheng stood there waving his arms towards Chu Liang without caring about his image. His well-developed arm muscles bulged like an enthusiastic orangutan.
It seems that the girl next to him must not be the one he likes... Chu Liang secretly cursed.
There is a white-haired girl in Sanjue Valley, who is naturally Luo Yao.
In Yunque Temple, there is a bald man whose teeth can be seen reflecting the sunlight. There is no doubt that he is Pu Shan.
These two old friends haven't seen each other for a while since the last time in Canglong Secret Realm, so it's a good time to get together this time.
On the Taiyin Sect side, there is a lonely Luo Xiaoyong. There had been a brief encounter before. As a person of this generation walking in the world, it was natural that he would do this kind of thing.
These were a few acquaintances that Chu Liang glanced at. But he quickly retracted his gaze because everyone stood up on the high platform in front of him.
A figure floated down.
This is a middle-aged man in Tsing Yi who looks about forty years old. He has a jade face, long sideburns, and deep eyes. He looks quite handsome.
He was standing there, seemingly unsurprising, but the moment he appeared, he immediately became the center of everyone's attention. People around him even looked at him involuntarily.
Although most Shushan disciples did not know this person, judging from the respectful attitude of the four Zhenshan elders towards him, it was not difficult to guess his identity.
The current leader of Shushan, Master Wen Yuan!
There are not many things in the sect that warrant the leader's personal appearance, and the Shushan Mountain Summit is certainly one of them.
Seeing that the crowd was slightly agitated by his appearance, Master Wen Yuan pressed his hands lightly, as if there was an invisible ripple of breeze passing by, and the huge square suddenly became quiet.
As soon as he spoke, his clear voice spread throughout the thirty-six peaks of the distant mountains. The voice was not loud, but extremely clear.
"The heavens are full of energy, and my Taoist sun is prosperous!"
…
Master Wen Yuan's follow-up speech was very brief, nothing more than some official saying that Shushan is becoming more and more prosperous, and I believe that this generation of disciples can lead Shushan to become better and better.
The subsequent conference was presided over by the Dharma Protector Elder.
As the organizer of the Mountain God Festival, the guardian elder was the first to announce the rewards of the Mountain God Festival.
The reward for the first place is a set of Tianluo Five Elements Formation Diagram.
As soon as this reward was announced, there was a slight sensation. Because of the nature of the Mountain God Festival in previous years as a game, although the magical weapons that were rewarded were valuable, there were very few of them of this level.
In the world of cultivating immortals, there is an indispensable and important criterion for precious magic weapons or magical powers, and that is cross-border challenges.
Because the cross-border challenge is extremely difficult, those who can do it are considered powerful. Just like the Demon Suppressing Tower became the number one artifact because of the battle across the border to suppress the Demon God.
As for the Tianluo Five Elements Formation, those below the seventh realm are capable of cross-border challenges. The five golden elixir realms work together and have the strength to suppress the five elements realm. This is the reason why it is precious.
When Chu Liang heard about this reward, he also jumped for joy. But when I think that this reward is divided among the five of them, and that I will have to perform it with this top team in the future... I feel like it's just ordinary.
But even if there is no reward in this Mountain God Festival, his harvest is already big enough. The harvest of so many sword coins is still small. The most important thing is that through the opportunity of alchemy, I got the approval of the Alchemy Elder. He has already agreed with Elder Danding that after the Shushan Mountain Summit is over, he will spend more time and energy going to Danding Hall to systematically learn the art of alchemy.
In fact, Chu Liang had no intention of becoming a full-time alchemist, but Elder Dan Ding was so sincere that he could not refuse. It’s also good to learn a skill that will help you find more ways to go in the future. With this idea in mind, he still agreed to become the deacon disciple of Dandingtang.
The second place reward is a set of white jade sword formations, also activated by five people.
Jiang Yuebai's teammates are all her own junior sisters from Biluofeng, so they are naturally very easy to use.
The reward for the third place is actually five sibling spiritual pets. Five spiritual beasts born from one litter are spiritually connected, and their combined fighting power is outstanding.
Zhao Zhizhu, who had auctioned off the clues to Chu Liang, was a little fat man. He was smiling with wrinkles on his face like a big stuffed bun. Even if he sold these five spiritual pets for money, the sword coins he invested could be doubled several times. It also made those Shushan teammates off the court who hesitated in the later stage and did not continue to rush for the shot regret.
After that, the protector elder announced the first session of the Shushan Mountain Summit.
"Tomorrow at this time, the Heavenly Stairway will be opened, and the Dao Heart Test will be conducted on the disciples of the various peaks. The top sixty-four disciples on the Heavenly Ladder Path will be able to enter the arena competition. Please prepare well for the disciples of the various peaks."
Chu Liang could understand this prerequisite. The number of disciples participating in each summit ranged from hundreds to thousands. It would be too much to have them all go to the ring and be eliminated, so it was normal to have one round of auditions.
But what is this ladder to heaven?
…
"The Stairway to Heaven is just a road, you just keep going up." Emperor Daughter Feng said.
"Huh?" Chu Liang blinked.
After the opening ceremony, he originally wanted to ask the master who once held a high position in the Shushan Mountain Summit about his valuable experience. Unexpectedly, Emperor Nvfeng's answer was quite simple.
"The elders arrange completely different illusions every year. It doesn't make sense to tell you what I saw. But just remember who is farthest and who has a higher ranking." Emperor Daughter Feng Dalala waved. Waving his hands, "Anyway, it's a test of the school's Taoist heart. My Taoist heart is to hit whoever I see. It doesn't matter if it's true or not. I'll punch you first. If you hit me, you'll pass."
Chu Liang frowned suspiciously.
Will the Dao Heart Test carefully arranged by the elders really be as simple as Master said?
Is it possible that this is the so-called...stupid master in the legend?
When he walked out of the master's attic, he saw two people waiting for him on the hillside.
It was the girl who was with Yun Chaoxian.
The girl looked young, with her hair tied into a bun wrapped in a cloth. Standing next to Yun Chaoxian, she looked petite and short. She was wearing a neat blue and white ribbon dress, and her eyes were very big and sparkling.
She also carried a long weapon wrapped in cloth on her back, which should also be some kind of magic weapon handed down from ancient times.
"Brother Chu." Yun Chaoxian greeted warmly, "I'm here to cheer you on."
"Thank you, Brother Yun." Chu Liang thanked him and looked at the girl: "Who is this?"
Yun Chaoxian smiled heartily and said: "This is my junior sister Tang Shi, who is also the core disciple of our Tiangang Sect."
The four core disciples of Tiangang Sect are armed with swords, spears, swords and halberds.
The girl in front of me is actually a gunsmith?
Chu Liang looked at her in surprise, finding it difficult to associate her petite figure with a long gun.
Yun Chaoxian introduced Tang Shi again: "This is the Chu Liang I told you, the Shushan disciple who is slightly more intelligent than me."
There's no need to add the last sentence... Chu Liang smiled sarcastically.
"Wow, that's amazing!" Tang Shi looked at Chu Liang, blinked his big eyes, and his voice was soft and waxy.
Okay.
This girl doesn't seem to have much inspiration either.
Chu Liang was about to entertain them when he saw a silver light flying over from the other side. It was Xiaoyu playing Frisbee with Big Head and Bai Ze.
A hissing sound.
A ball of golden wind then flew over violently.
Yun Chaoxian and Tang Shi were having trouble at the back of their minds. Chu Liang was about to tell them not to panic, but the reaction of these two martial arts masters was slightly faster than him and they had already responded.
I saw the two of them turned over and pulled out their weapons at the same time. Yun Chao was the first to hold the big halberd, his eyebrows raised and his eyes raised.
And Tang Shi instantly pulled out a Overlord Spear that was two ends taller than her body, and then her whole body suddenly straightened up, her whole body muscles bulged and filled her sleeves, and her whole body glowed with golden light! As if King Kong was alive, he bowed, twisted his waist, and shouted: "Where is the monster!"
Chu Liang's pupils shrank in shock at the rough voice, and he quickly shouted: "You are my spiritual pet from Silver Sword Peak, you two don't need to panic!"
Not only him, but also the Golden Retriever was so frightened by this roar that his golden fur shivered! It held the Frisbee in its mouth, moved its big head from side to side, and then step by step... quietly walked backwards.
"Oh, so it's playing." Yun Chaoxian had seen the golden retriever before, and immediately put away the halberd, waved his hand and smiled.
Tang Shize also instantly restrained her figure, which was three sizes larger, and transformed into the soft and waxy girl again. She pursed her lips and chuckled: "I gave you a shock..."
