Cultivating Immortality, Starting from Childhood Sweethearts

The Heavenly Mystery Sect's Ascent to Heaven Mountain is also known as the Mountain of Asking the Dao, and also the Mountain of Asking the Heart.

Legend has it that this mountain was carried over from the Heavenly Mountain Range of the Southern Border's demon race by the founding ancestor of the Heavenly Mystery Sect when the sect was established.

When a cultivator steps onto this Ascent to Heaven Mountain, the path of cultivation you are pursuing will be tested, and your Dao heart will be questioned again and again.

The higher you climb, the more determined your Dao heart is.

Currently, among the younger generation, only Qin Qingwan has stepped onto the summit of Ascent to Heaven Mountain step by step, without any hesitation.

In comparison, these outer disciples participating in the inner sect selection are far inferior.

These outer disciples are all selected through the outer sect martial arts competition.

According to the rules of the Heavenly Mystery Sect, these outer disciples only need to reach the mountainside to completely pass the inner sect selection and officially become inner disciples.

But...

As it stands, Qin Qingwan feels that among the outer disciples participating in this inner sect selection, less than one in ten will succeed.

In Elder Chen's words, this year's outer disciples are the worst he has ever seen.

But she also heard Elder Chen say the same thing last time.

As expected, out of the three hundred disciples who climbed Ascent to Heaven Mountain, only twenty-five reached the mountainside.

Among them, the one who climbed the highest was still nearly fifty zhang away from the summit.

But regardless, the inner sect trial has finally come to an end.

Before Xia Donghua and the others could invite Qin Qingwan to the neighboring望海 Peak for a visit, Qin Qingwan couldn't wait to fly towards her Myriad Flowers Valley.

As soon as Qin Qingwan returned to Myriad Flowers Valley, she saw her master standing in the sea of flowers, waiting for her.

"Master," Qin Qingwan stepped forward and gave a salute, "Why have you come?"

"There is something I want to discuss with you, Qingwan," Wang Xuan slowly said.

Qin Qingwan tilted her head: "What is it?"

Wang Xuan reached out and rubbed her disciple's head:

"Qingwan, you have already reached the late stage of the Viewing Sea Realm. Your master has been suppressing your realm, preventing you from entering the Dragon Gate Realm. Firstly, it was for the trial of the Rootless Secret Realm, and secondly, it was to make the Dragon Gate higher when you 'Carp Leaps Over Dragon Gate'. And now, it is time for you to go down the mountain and take a look."

"Down the mountain?" Qin Qingwan was stunned for a moment, and then those beautiful peach blossom eyes sparkled with joy even more beautiful than this sea of flowers, "Master, can I go back to Wudu?"

Wang Xuan shook her head, a hint of helplessness in her eyes: "Your master is asking you to go down the mountain, but not to return to Wudu."

"Oh..." Qin Qingwan's peach blossom eyes immediately dimmed, "Then Master, what mountain am I going down to?"

Wang Xuan looked into her disciple's eyes: "Didn't your master just say? Your realm is sufficient, and you have almost finished cultivating the Heavenly Mystery Heart Sutra, but you have experienced too little of the world. This time down the mountain is both an experience and a quest for you to seize a treasure."

"Another treasure hunt?" Qin Qingwan felt that treasure hunts were quite boring.

Years ago, Qin Qingwan remembered that when she came to the Heavenly Mystery Sect, the first thing she did was to hunt for treasure, and in the end, she obtained a Dao Heart Lotus.

After her master had her consume it, she didn't feel any different.

What treasure are they going to seize now?

"Master, what is that treasure?" Qin Qingwan asked.

"This time, even your master doesn't know what the treasure is. I only calculated that in Baiwa City, Qingyang Prefecture, on the border of Wu Country, a treasure will be born.

Baiwa City is on the border between Wu Country and the Southern Border Demon Country. It is estimated that other sects have also calculated this treasure and have already sent cultivators over.

This time, the White Crane Peak Peak Master's personal disciple, the sect master's son, and the Sword Peak Peak Master's son will go with you. Depart tomorrow, so prepare yourself well. This time you go to Baiwa City, you must act cautiously."

"Yes," Qin Qingwan replied with a salute.

After informing her of the task, Wang Xuan did not say much, but only discussed with Qin Qingwan her recent understanding of Dao techniques before leaving.

After her master left.

Qin Qingwan quickly strode with her long legs under her skirt to the flower garden in front of the small wooden house.

Looking at the blood lotus that were about to bloom in front of the wooden house, the girl squatted down and gently stroked them: "You guys bloom quickly, preferably when I come back, you will bloom. If you bloom again, I will be able to see Brother Ming."

As if these blood lotuses heard the girl's voice, they swayed in the wind, as if nodding gently.

"Speaking of which, so many years have passed, does Brother Ming still remember the agreement he made with me back then? Does Brother Ming have a girl he likes?"

The girl, who was almost sixteen years old, supported her fair chin and muttered to herself with a pout.

"You dead dog, walk faster!"

"I'm already walking very fast!"

"Fast my ass, you take a few steps and then rest. At your pace, it will take half a year to find the Princess!"

"Hey, don't be so anxious, we have already determined the Princess's direction, isn't finding the Princess a matter of time? There is a saying in the human race, haste makes waste."

"Shut up!"

The one-legged firebird riding on a large black dog pecked hard.

The black dog grimaced in pain, but did not resist.

The black dog was very aggrieved and could only silently speed up its pace.

"To be honest, I really don't want to go to Wu Country," the black dog sighed as he walked, "When I was in Wu Country, I was almost killed by the Wu Emperor and stewed into a dog meat hot pot."

"You still have the nerve to say that! Not only did you not complete the mission, but you also wasted a Shattering Void Pearl. You were scolded terribly by the Prime Minister after returning home!" The firebird Bifang said angrily.

"Think about it another way, we already know about the Eternal Spirit Root, right?" The black dog grinned, "This can be considered making up for the mistake."

"That's just your good luck!" Bifang turned his head, "But speaking of which, Wu Country really has good luck. In recent years, there have been Innate Sacred Bodies, Innate Sword Bones, or Eternal Dao Spirit Roots."

"It's normal," the black dog smiled, "After all, Wu Country borders the Southern Border Demon Country, and the geographical location is terrible. The Heavenly Dao makes up for it. Wu Country's geographical location is not good, so naturally, it will give Wu Country some compensation."

"Let's not talk about this! This time our main tasks are two!" The firebird Bifang said, "One is to find the Princess and awaken the Princess's memory, and the other is to kill that Xu Ming and take out his Eternal Spirit Root!"

"If we fail this time, dead dog, you know the consequences!" The firebird Bifang looked at the black dog, his eyes narrowed.

The usually playful black dog put away his smile and nodded solemnly: "You don't need to tell me, I know."
