In a simple hut, a young man sat on the bed, his hands were flat, his eyes were slightly closed, and the aura between heaven and earth was constantly inhaled from his nose and then slowly exhaled, forming a perfect cycle. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

There was silence all around, and after some time, the boy opened his eyes and sighed gloomily.

"Still hasn't made any progress." The young man muttered, and he couldn't help but feel a little deflated in his heart, "It's been ten years." ”

As early as ten years ago, he had already cultivated to the late stage of enlightenment. However, until now, he has not been able to break through to the realm of the Yudan stage.

The teenager began to practice when he was four years old, realized the Tao in one month, entered the middle stage of enlightenment in half a year, and cultivated to the late stage of enlightenment two years later, that is, when the boy was six years old. The speed and talent are unmatched.

However, after the boy broke through to the late stage of enlightenment, his cultivation immediately stagnated. For ten years, the young man has not advanced an inch, and he has been stuck in the late stage of enlightenment, and he has not been able to form a golden pill for a long time.

The so-called enlightenment period refers to the special period when mortals begin to comprehend a little bit of the way of heaven and earth through the practice of cultivating true exercises, and they have not formed a golden pill and have escaped from ordinary martial artists. Because the monks in the enlightenment period have not yet formed the golden pill, they do not yet have spiritual sense, and strictly speaking, they are not true cultivators. However, they have cultivated mana, can drive some low-level magic weapons, understand some superficial spells, and are actually out of the category of ordinary martial artists, so barely speaking, they can also be regarded as cultivators.

People with superior qualifications, as long as they have the cultivation of true exercises, can generally enter the enlightenment period after cultivating for thirty or forty years. And because the people in the Xiuzhen family and the Xiuxian sect are rich in resources, there is no shortage of exercises and pills, and it is easier to enter the enlightenment period. Some gifted disciples even succeeded in marrying at a young age. The young brother's brother is like this, as early as four years ago, his brother succeeded in marrying Dan with the help of the mountain gate.

His brother only stayed for four years in the later stages of enlightenment, and he was already a full ten years.

In ten years, he has changed from a genius boy who everyone envies to a waste material that everyone despises. Those who were inferior to him in the past have now surpassed him, and the endless praise and respect that used to be have all turned to ridicule and sarcasm.

In the past ten years, the teenager has been cultivating every day. Whether it was a hot summer day or a snowy day, he never had a day off. However, no matter how hard he tried, his cultivation still did not make any progress.

Although the young man's heart was extremely determined, he couldn't help but be a little discouraged at this time. Just then, there was a slight sound of footsteps outside the door. The corners of the young man's mouth couldn't help but show a smile, listening to the familiar footsteps, he already knew who was outside.

In the past ten years, because his cultivation has been stagnant, many people in the sect have looked down on him, and even the senior brothers who used to be close to him have gradually distanced themselves from him, and among them, only one person has been as good to him as ever. She was the owner of the footsteps outside the door.

"Brother Tianye." The door squeaked open, and a young girl walked in, it was the young girl's sister Shen Xixue.

Shen Xixue was wearing a snow-white long skirt, the long skirt dragged straight to the ground, and a pair of white lotus arms stretched out under the wide sleeves. She seemed to have just brushed her hair, which hung down like a waterfall of ink, only to be simply tied in a knot at the back. There is a hint of mischievous smile on her beautiful face, giving people a lively and lovely feeling.

Her eyes were as bright and clear as a baby, as pure as her crystal pure heart.

Shen Xixue is one year younger than the boy, and her master Su Yurou is the younger sister of the boy's mother. More than 10 years ago, the teenager's mother died. Soon, Shen Xixue and her master and sister came here from the Jialan Empire, a Buddhist resort, and since then they have joined the sect where the boy is located, the Star Gate.

The Star Gate is an unpopular sect of cultivation in Ruling County, Younan Prefecture of the White Cloud Empire, and is subordinate to the Daomen. The territory of the Baiyun Empire is vast, with a total of 9 states, 32 prefectures, and 360 counties, and millions of Xiuzhen sects and families, all of which belong to the rule of Baiyunguan, one of the six super forces on the mainland. Ruling County is located in the middle of the three super forces of the Demon Dao Witch, the area is small, and there are seven Xiuzhen families like the Star Gate in the territory, so it is also called the Seven Sect County.

"Xixue, why are you here?" The boy stood up and said in some surprise. Half a month ago, Shen Xixue dragged him down the mountain to play privately, but was discovered by his father and Shen Xixue's master. The two men were furious and locked them up.

The teenager was confined to his room for a month. At this point, there are still a few days left before the one-month deadline.

"I'm coming to see you!" Shen Xixue said and came in, gently closed the door, and carried a beautiful double-layer food box in her hand.

"Didn't Uncle Su punish you?" The boy was surprised. Uncle Su is Shen Xixue's master Su Yurou. After Su Yurou joined the Stargate, she took over the position of the young mother's mother and became the elder of the Stargate. And the boy's father is Shen Yueshan, the current head of the Interstellar Gate.

The boy is Shen Yueshan's youngest son, named Shen Tianye, who is just sixteen years old this year.

Shen Xixue put the food box on the table in the room, looked at Shen Tianye and smiled, playfully stuck out her tongue and said, "Hehe, I ran out secretly." Brother Tianye, are you hungry, I'll bring you something to eat. ”

Shen Tianye opened the food box and saw a roast chicken and a small pot of good wine inside, and he couldn't help but be overjoyed. In just a few moments, Shen Tianye wiped out the entire roast chicken, and the wine bottomed out. Shen Xixue put the food box back away and said, "Brother Tianye, I heard from others that there are many strange flowers and plants in the Demon Gate Grottoes, maybe it will help you break through the bottleneck." Why don't we ask the master to let us go inside and try it out? ”

Demon Gate Grotto! Shen Tianye was startled, and hurriedly objected: "Don't! What kind of place is that in the Demon Gate Grotto, it is very dangerous inside. It's okay for us to go outside and have fun, but if we go to that kind of place, forget it, we'll die. ”

The Demon Gate Grottoes are a famous dangerous place on the mainland for junior disciples to experience, located in the southeast of the Baiyun Empire, millions of miles away from the Star Gate, and belong to another super force in the continent - the Demon Gate. The inside of the Momen Grottoes is dark, the terrain is complicated, and it is very dangerous.

However, a long time ago, the Demon Gate Grottoes were a blessed land, full of spiritual energy, full of exotic flowers and plants. Until one day, a heaven and earth spirit treasure was conceived and formed in the Demon Gate Grottoes, and was born on its own, turning into red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple colorful divine light for a while, penetrating through the nine skies, and rushing straight to the bull fight. For a time, Shenzhou shook, and the heavens and the earth were discolored.

The major forces of Buddhism and Demon in the Shenzhou Continent, even the Southwest Wizards, overseas hermits, and vampire zombies, all rushed over, and a shocking war began. In the end, the treasure was mysteriously lost in the war, the spiritual land was destroyed, countless strong people fell one after another, turned into resentful spirits, thousands of years later, it became a great danger, and finally occupied by the Demon Gate, and since then it has been called the Demon Gate Grottoes.

The Momen Grottoes were originally a natural spiritual land, giving birth to a lot of strange flowers and plants, so many years, there are countless people who have entered it to explore and experience and fall, among which I don't know how many treasures have been lost, so although it is very dangerous, there are still many monks who rush to it every year, and are willing to risk the danger to enter it.

Shen Tianye was really startled when he heard Shen Xixue say that he was going to the Demon Gate Grottoes. Although most of the people who practiced in the Demon Gate Grottoes were low-level disciples, he and Shen Xixue, one in the late stage of enlightenment and the other in the early stage of the Dan Festival, would undoubtedly be sent to death if they entered.

"There won't be any danger." Shen Xixue said: "When the time comes, I will ask the master to give me a life-saving magic weapon, if there is danger, just withdraw immediately, and it will be fine." ”

Shen Tianye said nothing: "No!" It's too risky, we're too weak to go to that kind of place. ”

Shen Xixue said coquettishly: "Brother Tianye, you can go with me." As she spoke, she hugged Shen Tianye's arm and shook it from side to side.

Shen Tianye was tossed out by Shen Xixue more than half a month ago, and now he is still being punished, this time he can't be soft-hearted anymore: "It's useless for you to tell me about this, you have to agree with my father and uncle." ”

Shen Xixue said: "That's good! I'm going to tell the master and the master now, you want to go down the mountain and go to the Demon Gate Grotto with me to practice. With the help of the master, the master will definitely agree. ”

"Hey, cherish the snow." Shen Tianye hurriedly grabbed her. This is not a joke, a dangerous place like the Demon Gate Grottoes, but you must not go. "Are you serious?"

"Of course." Shen Xixue said: "You just wait for my good news." After finishing speaking, he left without looking back, taking advantage of the situation to take the door around, only to hear a "bang", and almost knocked the nose of Shen Tianye, who had caught up.

"Cherish the snow, don't go!" Shen Tianye shouted. There was only the sound of footsteps moving away from the door, and I don't know if Shen Xixue heard it.

I guess she wouldn't pay attention to it even if she heard it. Poor Shen Tianye was grounded and couldn't leave this room, so he could only stay in the room and be anxious.
