Gu Sheng and the other two did not hesitate and flew directly towards the main peak in the northwest corner according to the instructions on the map.

During the flight, Gu Sheng and Ji Ziyue could clearly feel the contemptuous looks from other new disciples.

Soon, they arrived at the main peak in the northwest corner.

The scenery here is completely different from that of other main peaks.

The mountain looked plain and ordinary, and even the trees looked malnourished.

It is called a mountain, but in fact it is just a pile of large rocks.

Gu Sheng and Ji Ziyue landed in front of the mountain gate of the main peak, only to see a white-haired old man sitting there.

Ji Ziyue stood there, secretly praising: "This old man's Zen has reached a state of perfection."

"What? Kuchan?"

Gu Sheng frowned slightly.

"Let's go over and have a look."

After saying that, Gu Sheng took Ji Ziyue and walked towards the old man.

"You are the new disciples, right?"

When the two men got closer, the old man opened his eyes and his gaze was as bright as lightning.

After saying that, he closed his eyes again.

"Exactly."

Gu Sheng replied respectfully.

"This is the main peak with the lowest spiritual energy among the ninety-nine main peaks. If you want to learn some skills, go to other main peaks."

The old man closed his eyes and said.

"Whoosh whoosh!"

Suddenly, several rainbow lights flashed.

I saw several other disciples of Taixuan Sect coming here with a few cultivators who had just entered the entry stone.

"Greetings, Uncle Li."

One of the Taixuan Sect disciples bowed and clasped his hands together.

Only then did Gu Sheng realize that this old man was an elder of the Taixuan Sect and his surname was Li.

Master Li did not rush to open his eyes, as if he could sense the situation outside.

His shoulders dropped slightly, and he sighed and said, "The sun rose from the west today? Why are there so many people?"

"Hehe...Uncle Li, please don't get me wrong. We just saw two cultivators who had just passed the entry stone and came here, so we wanted to see what kind of IQ these two people had to want to come to Zhuofeng to practice."

One of the disciples said this in a joking tone and looked at Gu Sheng and Ji Ziyue proudly.

Zhuofeng?

Awkward peak?
Could it be that the main peak is also divided into stupid and smart?
Moreover, this Taixuan Sect's new disciple was obviously teasing Master Li.

If it was Gu Sheng's temper, he would have slapped him in the face and told him to get out of Zhuofeng long ago.

But now Master Li was calm and composed, as if he didn't hear the murderous ridicule.

"call……"

Master Li let out a long sigh, then opened his eyes again and looked at Gu Sheng and Ji Ziyue.

"You two, this humble peak has been in decline for hundreds of years. It is of low quality and not suitable for cultivation. You should move to other main peaks."

Uncle Li spoke, his words were kind.

"Do not."

Gu Sheng smiled and shook his head: "Senior... No, Uncle Li, I just like this place. Please let me and my companions stay. We hope to pass your test."

When the other Taixuan Sect disciples heard Gu Sheng's words, their laughter was like a sharp blade, cutting through the tranquility of Zhuofeng.

One of the disciples sneered and mocked, "You are dreaming, kid. No one wants to come to this humble peak. Even if you test it, it will be in vain. Isn't it obvious that this is just a formality?"

"Haha, that's right, hypocritical!"

Another disciple echoed, his laughter full of contempt and disdain.

When Ji Ziyue heard these harsh ridicules, anger surged in her heart.

"What are you talking about!"

Ji Ziyue clenched her fists, a cold light flashed in her eyes, and she wanted to step forward to teach these rude disciples a lesson.

However, Gu Sheng gently held her hand and signaled with his eyes that he didn't need to be angry.

Uncle Li looked at the two of them and saw no trace of retreat in their eyes, only trust in each other and desire for the future.

This kind of determination and sincerity touched Master Li's heart.

He sighed softly and spoke slowly: "Since you have made up your mind, I will give you this opportunity."

"Nine-story Mysterious Pagoda."

Uncle Li said this and waved his hand.

Not far away from them, there was a tower several meters high rising from the ground.

When the disciples saw the Nine-story Mysterious Pagoda, they were stunned, and a trace of astonishment and uneasiness flashed in their eyes.

The Nine-Storied Mysterious Pagoda is a legendary existence in the Taixuan Sect. It not only tests the physical strength and endurance of practitioners, but also tests their understanding and character.

In the history of Taixuan Sect, there are only a handful of cultivators who have been able to successfully climb to the top of the tower, and each one of them is a leader in the sect.

Gu Sheng and Ji Ziyue looked at each other, without a trace of fear in their eyes.

For them, this test is a test of their abilities.

"This..." How is this possible? "

One of the new disciples' voices was so excited that it stammered.

"Yes, the Nine-story Mysterious Pagoda is a place that only cultivators with extremely high comprehension can set foot on. How could they...how could they do it?"

Another disciple also whispered.

Master Li looked at these new disciples and said calmly: "In Taixuan Sect, nothing is impossible. As long as you have determination and perseverance, one day, you will be able to step onto the Nine-story Xuan Pagoda."

Gu Sheng and Ji Ziyue ignored the noise around them and stood quietly in front of the Nine-story Mysterious Pagoda.

After a brief observation, Ji Ziyue stepped forward and said, "I'll do it!"

"She doesn't know her own limits. Just wait, she will soon become a meat pie."

"Well, a newborn calf is not afraid of a tiger."

The two new disciples said this with some pride.

Then, Ji Ziyue stepped forward and suddenly summoned his divine power.

In an instant, Ji Ziyue's feet left the ground and jumped onto the first floor of the Nine-story Xuan Tower.

"It's nothing..."

Ji Ziyue spoke somewhat speechlessly.

Then, Ji Ziyue exerted force again and prepared to jump to the second floor.

When Ji Ziyue was about to jump to the second floor, an invisible pressure suddenly came from above his head.

The intensity of the pressure suggested that an invisible hand was trying to push her back to the ground.

Ji Ziyue suddenly summoned his divine power and clenched his teeth.

In an instant, the divine power in his body flowed, and he withstood the pressure and landed lightly on the second floor.

"Hold on!"

Gu Sheng stood aside and cheered for Ji Ziyue.

"It's nothing..."

Ji Ziyue said this in a relaxed tone.

But Gu Sheng noticed that her forehead was already slightly sweaty.

Obviously, this pressure is not as simple as she said.

As she prepared to jump to the third floor, the pressure suddenly increased.

This layer was like carrying a heavy mountain on her back, making every step she took extremely difficult.

The people at the bottom of the tower also felt this pressure. Their faces turned pale, and some even felt chest tightness and almost vomited blood.

Gu Sheng also secretly activated the power of the green copper block in his body, and was able to withstand the pressure.

"Crack, crack, crack..." Ji Ziyue's figure shuttled between the floors of the tower, and every time she landed, there was a dull sound.

That sound was proof of her struggle against the pressure of Xuanta.

Layer after layer, Ji Ziyue's figure was getting faster and faster.

When she ascended to the ninth floor, the entire Nine-story Mysterious Tower vibrated slightly, as if cheering for her feat.

"Whoosh!"

But at the moment of reaching the top, a dazzling golden light suddenly shot down from the sky, pointing directly to the top of the tower.

Ji Ziyue bathed in this golden light, her figure seemed even more sacred and inviolable.

"call……"

Ji Ziyue took a deep breath, bathed in the golden light, then flew down and landed lightly in front of Master Li and everyone else.

Master Li looked at Ji Ziyue, his eyes full of shock and admiration.

He didn't expect that this seemingly weak woman actually had such amazing potential and perseverance.

The other disciples had already been frightened by the pressure to the point of nearly vomiting blood.

"You did it, Ziyue."

Gu Sheng stepped forward excitedly and said.

There was a tremor in Master Li's voice, "From today on, Zhuofeng will be your place of cultivation."

Ji Ziyue smiled slightly, "Thank you for your help, senior. However, I hope to bring my friends to practice with me."

"no problem."

Uncle-master Li Ruoyu replied directly.

"Great."

Ji Ziyue shouted excitedly.

"Whoosh whoosh!"

As soon as Ji Ziyue finished speaking, several rainbow lights suddenly flashed beside everyone.

The light faded, and dozens of old men with white hair and youthful faces, wearing Taoist robes, came near the crowd.

After seeing Li Ruoyu, they all bowed in greeting.

"Senior Brother Li."

"My fellow disciples, please don't be polite."

Li Ruoyu raised his hand slightly.

At this time, one of the old men looked to the side and wiped the blood flowing out of his seven orifices, frowned slightly and said: "Why are you guys here?"

"Master, we were passing by Zhuofeng and came to take a look. Unexpectedly, we were pressed down by such a strong pressure that we were bleeding from all seven orifices."

One of the disciples replied.

"Humph!"

The old man snorted coldly and said with a look of disdain: "I just activated the Xuantian Pendant. It's good enough that I didn't crush you to death. Why don't you thank your Master Li for showing mercy."

"what?"

These disciples, some of whom had nosebleeds and some of whom had blood coming out of their eyes, were stunned.

"Thank you for your teachings, Master Li."

"No no no!"

Li Ruoyu waved his hands at everyone, and then explained to the elders: "My fellow disciples have misunderstood. It was not me who activated the Xuantian Pendant, but this disciple who tested it."

Everyone turned their eyes to Ji Ziyue.

"Is it him? Such a powerful force?"

One of the elders blurted out.

As he was talking, the elders gathered around, their eyes full of admiration and curiosity towards Ji Ziyue.

One of the white-haired elders stroked his beard and smiled, saying to Ji Ziyue: "Little girl, the power you just displayed is indeed amazing, especially the golden light, which is the spiritual light of Taixuan Sect, which only appears once in a hundred years, and can only be stimulated by innate strong people."

"Ah? So powerful?"

Ji Ziyue's heart moved, and she became more curious about the origin of the spiritual light, so she continued to ask: "Elder, may I ask what this spiritual light is? Why can I activate it?"

"Spiritual light is an extremely pure energy between heaven and earth. It can nourish the body and purify the soul."

Another elder stepped forward, his tone tinged with envy.

After hearing this, Ji Ziyue was extremely excited.

"Little girl, you have shown such potential. We in Taixuan Sect will naturally provide you with the best training environment. So we decided to let you go to the best spiritual peak in Taixuan Sect to train. The spiritual energy there is rich, which will be of great benefit to your growth."

One of the elders said with a smile.

"Lingfeng?"

Ji Ziyue was grateful and knew that this was a rare opportunity.

But at this time, she looked at Gu Sheng with anticipation in her eyes: "I wonder if he can go to Yunxiao Peak with me?"

"he?"

One of the elders looked at Gu Sheng.

He only glanced at Gu Sheng and said with disdain: "This boy has low luck and insufficient cultivation. It is better for him to stay in Zhuofeng."

"Forehead……"

Gu Sheng glanced at the old man with disdain.

If he had not sealed the power in the sea of ​​suffering, he would probably be slapping himself in the face right now.

"No, I want to go with him."

Ji Ziyue was a little unhappy.

"Little girl, listen to me. If you join Zhuofeng, you can't join other main peaks. Your qualifications are really wasted in Zhuofeng."

"That's right, let's go to Lingfeng."

"Lingfeng has all the resources you want. It's much better than here."

The elders seemed to be doing advertising promotion. If Li Ruoyu had not been present, they would have probably dragged Ji Ziyue to fly to the main peak by now.

Seeing that Ji Ziyue was in a difficult situation, Gu Sheng winked at Ji Ziyue, signaling her to go to Lingfeng.

Ji Ziyue understood instantly.

Because she knew that their purpose of coming to Taixuanmen was to find the secret technique.

If we can enter the sacred peak, the search range will be expanded.

Ji Ziyue thought for a moment, then nodded and agreed: "Okay, I'll go."

Then, Ji Ziyue, together with the elders and disciples of Lingfeng, rode the divine rainbow into the sky.

Soon, only Gu Sheng and Li Ruoyu were left on Zhuo Peak.

The contrast between the hustle and bustle just now and the desolation now is really sad.

However, this seems to be more like the environment that Gu Sheng and Li Ruoyu like.

Li Ruoyu saw Gu Sheng looking at the distant divine rainbow with a hint of envy in his eyes, so he said softly: "Although Zhuofeng is not as good as other spiritual peaks now, it was once one of the holy places of our Taixuan Sect."

As he spoke, Li Ruoyu led Gu Sheng forward.

"Five hundred years ago, this place was full of spiritual energy, not inferior to the Spiritual Peak at all."

Gu Sheng turned to look at Li Ruoyu and asked curiously, "Why did it become like this now?"

Li Ruoyu took Gu Sheng for a stroll on Zhuo Peak, explaining as they walked: "Five hundred years ago, there was a great cultivator on Zhuo Peak. He had a very deep cultivation and extraordinary comprehension. He was the best in Taixuan Sect at that time. He suddenly realized the secret of heaven, but did not pass on his enlightenment to the world. He only left behind four words - 'The Great Way is Simple'."

When Gu Sheng heard this, his heart moved, as if he had some realization.

"The Great Way is Simple, what does this mean?"

Li Ruoyu smiled slightly, pointed at the surrounding rocks and trees, and said: "Look at these natural things, they are simple and pure, but they contain the true meaning of life, because the way of cultivation is simplicity, purity, and originality."

"Ah."

Gu Sheng nodded thoughtfully.

Although this place no longer has any spiritual energy, it still has a unique charm and profound meaning.

Li Ruoyu continued to take Gu Sheng to familiarize himself with the environment on Zhuofeng Mountain.

They walked through the areas that were once holy places for cultivation, feeling the former glory. (End of this chapter)
