Chapter 15: Ascending to the Roof
In the depths of Tiantai Mountain, in the dense forest where no one has set foot in it, Mei Xue followed the map of Tiantai Mountain that appeared in her mind and advanced step by step towards the sealed forbidden land "Tiantai".
"Roar! Roar! "The uncrowned king of the Tiantai mountain forest, the big horse monkeys who once chased Meixue and fled into the wilderness found this uninvited guest and let out an angry roar.
The entire group of horse monkeys came, and one by one they slapped their chests and killed Mei Xue menacingly.
But today's plum snow is not yesterday's plum snow, and it is not even the plum snow of the day. Now he is a powerful posture that has awakened the power of the bloodline of the golden-haired jade-faced nine-tailed fox.
Just like the little fox did to these big horse monkeys two years ago, he just opened his eyes and glanced at this group of big horse monkeys, and let these powerful big horse monkeys stay in place one by one.
The eyes that are like gods, like heavenly demons, directly dominate the simple divine consciousness of these big horse monkeys, and the terrifying "charm" of the talent and magic power "charm" from the golden-haired jade-faced nine-tailed fox is undoubtedly displayed at this glance.
The charm of the golden-haired jade-faced nine-tailed fox directly ignores the strength of the opponent's physical body, which means that even if you have the strength to pull out the mountain, if your inner will is not strong enough, you will have the slightest resistance to these eyes.
In the great world of the world, there are many sentient beings, and there are a few people who can have the will of an ascetic. Therefore, even if the golden-haired jade-faced nine-tailed fox only has this one magical power, it is enough to charm all living beings, and wherever it goes, it will inevitably cause disasters in the world, which is simply a natural red face and trouble.
If it weren't for the golden retriever and jade-faced nine-tailed fox who had been charmed by the supernatural powers, if it weren't for the golden jade-faced nine-tailed fox taking the initiative to lift the supernatural powers, it would basically be impossible to break free by his own will for the rest of his life.
"Bring all the horse monkey shochu!" Mei Xue gave an order at random, and the group of horse monkeys dispersed faster than when they came, and went home to offer Mei Xue the treasured horse monkey shochu that was regarded as their life.
Strange, why do I want this? Mei Xue looked at those wine gourds, he didn't drink much, what was the use of asking for these horse monkey soju?
However, after the last day, Mei Xue still accepted the horse monkey shochu that the big horse monkeys had saluted, and then let them disperse automatically.
With these horse monkey shochu, Mei Xue traveled through the entire dense forest area, and finally arrived at the most mysterious and legendary place of Tiantai Mountain, and the only forbidden place "Tiantai".
The white mist covered a cliff, and no matter how you looked at it, you couldn't see anything in the fog. The fog on the cliff never disappeared, and no amount of wind, rain, lightning or thunder could dispel the fog.
There, it is the "Tiantai", the origin of Tiantai Mountain, and the holy place that was once worshiped by countless people.
It's not the first time Mei Xue has come here, as early as when he obtained the Classic of Mountains and Seas and made a great wish, he had explored this ruin more than once, and then he always returned here in vain.
The white mist denied access to all, and although the rooftop in the mist was left with only ancient legends, the power to seal it did not disappear with the passage of time.
Perhaps, this is the most important protection of this once holy place, so that this dilapidated rooftop will never be disturbed again.
The rooftop, which has lost its power of chance, is just an ordinary relic, and people seem to have forgotten about this sacred place, and completely abandoned it after many failed restorations.
The once holy land of immortal arts, the rooftop that countless cultivators longed for, just withdrew from the stage of history, and watched the vicissitudes of life in this remote corner.
Today, after a thousand years, people are coming here again.
He possessed the power of the bloodline of the golden-haired jade-faced nine-tailed fox in the seas and mountains, and his body contained the remaining fragments of the Great Dao of the shattered heaven and earth, which was the Book of Heaven, which recorded countless strange things in the heavens and all worlds—the Classic of Mountains and Seas.
He wants to go up to the rooftop.
There was nothing he wanted to ask for from the rooftop, and there was no opportunity to cultivate, and the boy named Mei Xue just stepped on the stairs to the rooftop for the purest reason.
Why do you want to go to the rooftop? Because the rooftop is here, because this is the rooftop, the origin of the Tiantai Mountain.
So, go to the rooftop, because the rooftop is here.
The old rooftop struggled to open its eyes and look at one of its most despised guests.
It is a wisp of vague consciousness born after thousands of years of this rooftop, and thousands of years ago there was an infinite opportunity to become a god. If it succeeds that time, it can completely metamorphose, break away from the shackles of this heaven and earth, and become a "Sendai" that truly floats between heaven and earth, representing the spiritual light of heaven and earth.
However, it failed, and in order to compete for that glimmer of opportunity, countless people died, and it was also beaten to pieces, leaving only this most faint glimmer of aura lingering in its broken body.
Even so, it was already at its limit, having lost all its aura thousands of years ago, and now this last trace of Origin Power would be completely wiped out.
The mist around it is not a formation or a supernatural power, but a fragment of its own remnants, and the effect is only to confuse ordinary people, and cultivators with a little supernatural power can enter it without turning a blind eye, and then return disappointed after discovering that the rooftop that has already collapsed.
No one knows that there is still a trace of spiritual light left behind in these fogs, which is the remaining hope behind the roof of this rooftop.
It was waiting, although even it didn't know what the Dao was waiting for, but after being beaten to the fall after that catastrophe, it vaguely felt a trace of the law of heaven and earth, and it seemed that it had failed and had not completed some mission.
What is that mission? It didn't understand, but it lingered, waiting for its last task with what little life it had left in this corner where no one would ever pay attention again.
Then, tonight, it waited for the person it was waiting for.
Needless to explain, when it found that he suddenly appeared at the foot of Tiantai Mountain, it felt the aura that attracted it from him, it was an incomparably ancient vicissitudes of life, an aura that was older and more distant than that of Tiantai.
The young man, who was not as handsome as a human being, as if he were not a creature of this world, came from the distant wilderness, and then walked gently towards it.
Golden fox ears, soft fox tail, a pair of indescribable big eyes on the bewitching handsome face, innocent, curious pupils, full of desire to learn, wisdom and simplicity in the flow of eyes vividly interpreted.
Tiantai, who has given countless great cultivators the opportunity, can see at first glance that this is a young man with a wise root, whether he joins the Buddhist Sect or the Immortal Gate, he has a bright future, and what he has is the top bloodline in the seas and mountains - the golden retriever and jade-faced nine-tailed fox.
Strange, aren't the golden-haired jade-faced nine-tailed foxes all females? Tiantai was a little puzzled, wondering if Lu Dao had made a mistake.
But none of that matters, because the final trial is about to begin.
This is the last trial, and as a loser, it has to do the last thing to do - the rooftop trial.
In front of Mei Xue, countless clouds and mist began to churn, and then converged into a white cloud staircase, which had a total of ninety-nine steps, leading to a broken rooftop.
This is the complete posture of the rooftop of the holy land that was once worshiped by countless immortal cultivators 10,000 years ago.
The ninety-nine steps represent the ninety-nine tribulations, and stepping on these ninety-nine steps means that you will face your own ninety-nine tribulations.
No one knows what kind of calamity you will encounter, because these ninety-nine steps reflect the sins and uneasiness in your own heart, and only those who overcome these and finally clarify their true heart can ascend to the final rooftop and move the world.
Even mortals can go up to the third level if they are strong-willed, and from the fourth level onwards it is the realm of cultivators. Whether it is a Buddhist gate, a fairy gate, or even a demon, they will all encounter natural enemies on this ladder, and the more they go up, the more terrifying the test they encounter.
From the discovery of the Tiantai Holy Land to the end of the great war that affected the seas and mountains, a total of eight people have ascended to the Tiantai, all of whom have slashed their own demons and cultivated into earth-shattering supernatural powers.
Their names have also remained forever in the legends of the seas and mountains and have become myths.
I don't know where this kid will go, what kind of calamity he will encounter, I hope he can go farther, otherwise this most difficult trial will be meaningless...... The rooftop that exhausted his most powerful strength to open the ladder looked at the young man walking towards him with expectant eyes.
The first step, the second step, the third step, step by step, very good, without any hesitation, I walked through the mortal steps, and I really deserved to be a genius with the blood of a golden-haired jade-faced nine-tailed fox.
Step 4, Step 5, Step 6...... In the ninth step, the steps of the immortal fan walked directly, representing the full flow of spiritual veins, and from then on, he embarked on the road of cultivation.
Step 10, Step 11...... Step 18, stopped? It is no wonder that the eighteenth step is a crucial step for all races, a step connecting the origins of the seas and mountains, and in this step, there will be visions of heaven and earth, representing the "ring" of the sublimation of life.
Wait a minute! What is that, what is that cloud! Cheating! Seeing the scene that happened on the ladder, Tiantai's consciousness almost exploded.
"Yunqi!" Mei Xue summoned her own little cloud, stepped on the cloud and flew over the ninety-nine ladders, and then stood on the rooftop with her feet on the ground.
"Okay, it's here!" Mei Xue looked at the dilapidated rooftop under her feet with satisfaction, and the blank space behind the map of Tiantai Mountain in her mind was being filled up little by little.
However, unlike other places where the map is easily filled, the filling of the most rear-end rooftop location is extremely slow.
This, this teenager is...... No...... No way...... How could it be......
"Boom!" In the midst of countless rubble, the rooftop shattered, and a white light fell on Mei Xue's body, taking him to fly over the ocean in an instant and return to the floating mountain.
In the "Classic of Mountains and Seas", a new rooftop emerges, which is a small, newborn young rooftop, a new life born from the ruins of the dead ancient rooftop, the original incarnation of Tiantai Mountain.
"Looks like it worked." The dragon with the candle lying across the earth looked at the new life in the Book of Mountains and Seas and nodded with satisfaction.
