Chapter 38: The Ninth Floor of the Yuntai
Lingyuntai is divided into nine layers, from bottom to top, one layer is smaller than the other, but the first layer is more difficult than the other.
The first layer is called the cloud tilt, which is thousands of feet from east to west, and thousands of feet from north to south.
The second floor is called Dexian because it leads to Dexian Dwelling, with a radius of more than 800 zhang.
The third layer is called Edgeworth, and it is 600 zhang in front and back. The people who can ascend to the third layer are the ones who have already broken the Hongmeng and are about to succeed in finding the Dao, and after the success of the Dao, they will be able to resist the sword. Those with outstanding talents can rely on the stone bridge passage behind Edgeworth to go to the Sword Peak Sword Forest to find their natal immortal sword, and then go to Edgeworth.
Those who can step on the sword platform can walk with the sword, so from the fourth floor, there are few people.
The fourth layer is called Mingxin, and it is in the shape of an unsheathed sword, which is thousands of zhang long and 100 zhang wide. Leads to the Sword Washing Pavilion, which can wash the sword and clear the heart.
The fifth layer is called the view of the lake, this layer is round, with a diameter of more than 500 zhang. Lead to Jiujiang Pavilion, climb the Wangjiang Tower, and look at the big lake.
The sixth layer is called the Broken Bridge, and when viewed from a distance, it looks like a horse, spreading out in waves into the distance. The length of the training is 300 zhang, one end points to the two forgotten peaks, but the stone bridge after the broken bridge can not reach the two forgotten peaks, stay at a hundred miles away from the two forgotten bridges, just like the broken bridge, so it is named.
The seventh layer is called barren, and this layer is dark in color, like a wild land, a barren area, irregular in shape, less than a hundred feet in size, as if it was randomly selected from a broken mirror, and then the mirror is turned downward.
Above the first six floors, there will be some buildings more or less, or houses or halls, or towers or pavilions, and even a small restaurant on the third floor, but the restaurant has been abandoned for many years, I don't know which era it left over, but the people of Tianxuan did not try to demolish it.
But the seventh floor was desolate, and there was nothing but silence and darkness in sight. I heard that the seventh layer is the unnamed cliff leading to the Heavenly Desolate Peak, but no one has confirmed it.
Unlike the first six floors, you can complete the first six floors as long as you reach the patrol field.
If you want to set foot on the seventh floor, you must complete the winding paths, search the wilderness, and find Nagisawa. To put it simply, only people from the Nagisa Realm can go up to the seventh layer.
The first seven floors are separated by a mile from each other, connected by countless hanging strange stones, these strange stones hang in the air at will, there is no fixed shape, there is no fixed place, they are all slowly drifting, or front or back, left or right, or up or down, but as long as you wait patiently and search, you can use these stones to reach the upper layer, which is also a test and training for beginner disciples of Tianxuan Sect.
If you look at them from a distance, you will find that there are an indefinite number of cultivators on these stones, including those who look independently, those who wield swords and swords, those who sit cross-legged and meditate, those who engage with each other, and so on.
However, standing on the seventh floor and looking up, there are no suspended strange stones, and there is no upward passage, and the only thing that can be seen is the holy monument inserted into the mountain mist not far away.
It is not possible to see where the eighth layer is, let alone the most mysterious ninth layer.
Many people wonder if there is a ninth layer, but the ninth layer of Yuntai has been circulating in Tianxuan Sect and has not changed for tens of thousands of years, so the ninth layer exists, and there is a name that everyone knows.
The eighth floor is called Tianxuan, and the ninth floor is the Chai Gate.
No one knew why the ninth layer was the Chaimen, and the Tianxuan, which represented the entire Tianxuan Mountain Range, was only the eighth layer.
But the names of those two layers have been called for tens of thousands of years, and even if there are doubts and disputes, they can only be doubted in their own hearts and disputed with themselves, because everyone else is working hard to cultivate, and no one will have the time to answer for you.
According to the record of "Tianxuanlu", the ninth layer of Yuntai is not only a passage to all parts of the Tianxuan Mountain Range, but also a place to test talent, as long as it is a talented person, even if you do not pass through those hanging stone ladders, you can find a way to the upper layer, and the higher the talent, the higher the number of layers you lead, the easier it is to find a way to go up, and it does not have to reach the corresponding realm.
But in recent millennia, this test of aptitude seems to have been forgotten, and only a small number of people know about it.
At this time, on the PTZ, the number of onlookers was as many as hundreds.
Originally, there were only dozens of people, and the other disciples were all practicing seriously, and they didn't have the heart to come over to join in the fun, but then they heard that the senior brother was here, so they all hurried over, wanting to see who this senior brother of the Tianxuan Sect was.
But many people are like those immortal swords that stay in the sky, and as soon as they arrive here, the senior brother has already disappeared from the height of the holy monument. After the holy monument entered the clouds, an invisible pressure permeated its surroundings, suppressing the space, like an enchantment, and those who did not reach the realm could not go up at all.
Therefore, Yan Yan wanted to catch up, but she could only reluctantly turn back to the PTZ.
Originally, he came for the senior brother, but now that the senior brother is gone, she feels that it is not interesting to stay here, and is ready to turn around and return to the Heavenly Desolate Peak.
But when she saw Ye Yichen on the gimbal, as well as Uncle Yan, who had only seen the portrait for a long time, and looked at the same door in the air around her, she had no intention of leaving.
What's even more outrageous is that seeing Senior Brother Li Yiang, the eldest disciple of Sword Peak, came with four disciples carrying the ancestral sword, she immediately dispelled her desire to go back and wanted to see what would happen here.
Those outstanding disciples who came from all over Tianxuan, after staying in the air for a while, landed on the cloud platform one after another.
Almost none of them had ever seen Yan Shigu himself, but like Ye Yichen, they had seen his portrait and some of his deeds in Tianxuan's library.
"Look at Jianfeng, Li Yiang has seen Uncle Yan!" Li Yiang took the lead in bending down to Yan Shigu and saluting.
"Jiujiang Pavilion Su Tianxin has seen Uncle Yan!" Su Tianxin followed.
"Washing Sword Pavilion Fang Junshi has seen Uncle Yan!" Fang Junshi, the eldest disciple of Washing Sword Pavilion, hurriedly stepped forward to salute.
"Two forgotten peaks and Chu Dusk, Chaoqing has seen Uncle Yan. Greetings to Uncle Yan. "The two chief disciples of the two forgotten peaks, Chu Duan, and Chaoqing bent down to Yan Shigu one after another and bowed.
"Heavenly Desolate Peak Yan Yan has seen Uncle Yan. Yan Yan bowed to Yan Shigu, she was originally not interested, and when she saw Ye Yichen smiling in front of Yan Shigu, she was even more reluctant to salute in that direction, but just bowed politely.
"Disciples, I've seen Uncle Shi..."The other Tianxuan Sect disciples who came with a few of them, seeing that their senior brothers and sisters had already saluted Yan Shigu, they bowed to Yan Shigu in unison.
Yan Shigu nodded calmly, which was considered a return gift.
At this time, the other disciples of Yuntai who had just started woke up like a dream, and this inconspicuous-looking old man had such a big background.
They all stepped back a bit, giving up their places to those who had just come down from the heavens, because they were the real outstanding disciples of the Tianxuan Sect, and they could be regarded as true cultivators.
"Senior sister, I heard from the master that there is a senior brother here, and he is not a senior brother. I thought it was the second senior brother who came back, but the second senior brother is not here, you have been here for so long, and you have not introduced us to that senior brother. After the Tianxuan disciple who had just arrived finished saluting Yan Shigu, Li Yiang asked Ye Yichen.
"Now, it's this hairy boy. Ye Yichen saw that the senior brother was gone, and he was still indignant for Yan Shigu, and he didn't give Su Yun a good look.
"Senior brother, since all the young people in the sect are here, the senior brother will leave and will not participate in the affairs of your young people. Hehe, if you want them to call you senior brother convincingly, you have to show some skills, such as walking this nine-layer cloud platform. Since Yan Shigu guessed Su Yun's identity and was confirmed, he was in a good mood, and he was saying to Su Yun with a playful look at this time.
"This is not a problem, junior brother, you can go back first, the wind is strong here, and it is not good for you to blow. Remember to come over tomorrow, I also brought an apprentice with me. Su Yun also quipped.
"Got it, brother. After Yan Shigu finished speaking, he no longer paid attention to the others, nor did he pay attention to the expressions and doubts of the others, and a simple flying sword appeared under his feet, without any brilliant brilliance, and then stepped on the sword and flew into the distance.
