Chapter 20: Out of the Mountain

Xuanhuang Mountain, an ancient famous mountain that everyone knows in the territory of Xiliang Kingdom, this mountain is famous for its strange and dangerous world, and it is one of the three forbidden places in the Nanyuan Continent.

According to those who have been to the mountains and come back alive, this mountain is so high that even ten Nanjian Mountains cannot compare.

Not only that, but the mountain is extremely steep, full of cliffs, and the only way up the mountain is potholed and rugged, and I don't know who chiseled it. And the road up the mountain, in fact, is only half of the digging, and those who enter the mountain have no way to go up the mountain, so they can only rely on the operation of the body to move up little by little.

As for the reason, it is because the second half of the journey is too dangerous, not only are there many unheard of and unseen fierce birds and beasts, walking in it, and even accidentally touching a high-level formation left by an ancient power, and inexplicably disappearing, and the bones are gone.

Let's talk about the god burial valley, this valley is located on the top of Xuanhuang Mountain, a rift valley, more than a thousand zhang long, a hundred zhang wide, the bottom of the valley is dark and dim, it is rumored that it is the burial place of the ancient gods, the valley is full of all kinds of elixirs, through calligraphy, and even if you are lucky, you can also find one or two ancient artifacts.

Since the Divine Burial Valley only appears once every hundred years on the top of Xuanhuang Mountain, all the countries and sects on the Nanyuan Continent, and even the chambers of commerce, will send countless elite monks to risk death to enter it, kill people and steal goods, and grab resources.

In such a place, even the old madman was reluctant to go to open the pulse for Chu Xuan in the first place, which shows its danger. Therefore, when Liu Qinghui announced that he would let the first son of the door go, everyone was silent for a while, and they were silent, and they were actually very resistant in their hearts.

At first, Li Shouyi and the old madman were reluctant to let Chu Xuan take risks, but when Chu Xuan learned about it, he said that he was willing to go.

A pampered flower that only hides in a greenhouse, once it loses its greenhouse, it will not be able to withstand the storms of the outside world. Chu Xuan didn't want to be that flower.

Li Shouyi and the old madman didn't understand this truth, seeing that the apprentice insisted on going, the two sighed helplessly for a long time, and finally agreed.

Before leaving, under the support of the old madman and Li Shouyi, Chu Xuan retreated in the old madman's dojo for several days. Since the last time he fought with Shen Tianyi, Chu Xuan had faintly felt that his bottleneck was coming.

This retreat breakthrough is to enter the Earth Yuan Realm from the Heavenly Spirit Realm. This is a great test for any monk, and it is also a checkpoint that must be passed on the path of cultivation, because in this process, the practitioner must be baptized by the Heavenly Way for the first time, commonly known as Heavenly Punishment. And this process is also called the tribulation.

Chu Xuan was not an ordinary person, he was born with thirty-six hidden veins, so the heavenly punishment he received for crossing the tribulation was naturally not comparable to the ordinary heavenly punishment.

On the day of the catastrophe, the dark clouds covered the entire sky above Nanjian Mountain at once, and the darkness between heaven and earth was extremely dark. Almost all the disciples in the Nanjian Sect, after seeing this vision, had a feeling of tightness in their chests and shortness of breath, as if they were oppressed by something.

Not long after, there was a strange explosion of thunder in the clouds, so loud that the people under the sky were torn apart. With the loud sound of thunder, I saw lightning slashing down like sharp swords, straight to the dojo of the old madman in the mountain behind the Sword Gate.

I don't know how long it took, the thunder became quieter and quieter, the lightning stopped appearing, and the dark clouds finally slowly dispersed from the sky above the Nanjian Gate.

In the old madman's dojo, the few enchantments that were originally set up had already been struck by a lightning bolt, and the cave was actually cleaved down.

Fortunately, Chu Xuan is still alive. It's just that he looks a little embarrassed, his clothes and pants have been scorched, and his hair is messy. When the two old men saw him limp out of the collapsed cave, their hearts finally let go.

After successfully advancing to the Xiaodi Yuan Realm, Chu Xuan's cultivation was on a higher level than before, and the spiritual sea was further expanded, and the spiritual power generated was more than before. All in all, it's a radical change.

At the beginning, Chu Xuan's father, Chu Yan, the emperor of the Great Zhou Empire, died of heavenly punishment because he wanted to survive this catastrophe, which created the current Chu Xuan. It's embarrassing to think about.

Before parting, the old madman lent Chu Xuan his weapon, a long sword with a simple shape, to defend himself. This long sword was forged by the hands of the old madman when he was young, and it was easy to sharpen iron like clay and break stones and divide gold. It's a pity that in a short period of time, he can't teach Chu Xuan a set of techniques about using a sword, so he has to tell him that in case of danger at that time, he can combine the formation that Li Shouyi taught him on weekdays with this sword, which may be able to save a momentary emergency.

Chu Xuan took note of his words.

...

The border of Beiliang is actually not far from Nanjianmen, but the place where Xuanhuang Mountain is located is not easy to reach in a day or two.

Chu Xuan and other Southern Sword Sect disciples, plus the senior brother who was responsible for protecting their safety, there were almost fifty or so people. According to the prior agreement, these fifty people had to make peace with the forces of dozens of other allied sects before they could march towards Xuanhuang Mountain. Therefore, everyone delayed for a few more days, and only officially set off when all the people from other sects had arrived.

At this time, Chu Xuan's team was huge and huge, and all the monks added up to no less than three thousand people. Among these sects of different sizes, the Southern Sword Sect can only be regarded as an upper-medium existence.

Along the way, Chu Xuan was tired of being with Liu Xuan every day. During the day, the monks in the team were all doing their work, and he was carrying Liu Xuan's hand and wandering around. It wasn't until nightfall that the team wanted to find a place to stay overnight, and he led Liu Xuan back.

The leader of the group in Nanjianmen was a middle-aged man about fifty years old, and he was also the senior brother of Chu Xuan and others, named Lu Kang.

Although Lu Kang had a lot of complaints about the unruly Chu Xuan and Liu Xuan in his heart, he did not blame the two too much because of the face of the door master Liu Qinghui, as well as Li Shouyi and the old madman.

Besides, Chu Xuan was already a cultivator of the Earth Yuan Realm, and Liu Xuan was about to enter the Great Heaven Spirit Realm. Lu Kang had just cultivated to the Zhongtian Spirit Realm at his age, and for such two young geniuses, he was really embarrassed to say anything reprimanding.

In the evening, the team set up tents at the foot of a hill, and then built bonfires.

"Xuan'er, are you hungry? ”

"Don't be hungry, Brother Chu Xuan eats. ”

Next to the bonfire, Chu Xuan held Liu Xuan in one hand, a wooden stick in the other, and a plucked and cleaned wild pheasant on the stick.

On all sides of the bonfire, there were more than two dozen other young disciples who represented the Nanjian Sect out of the mountain. These people present, except for Chu Xuan, who was special and accompanied by Liu Xuan in his arms, the others were all singles, a gun, and there was nothing else around them except for the cool breeze that blew from time to time. Therefore, the eyes that looked at Chu Xuan were also full of envy, jealousy, and hatred.

Especially Shen Tianyi on the other side, his black face was longer than a donkey, as if he had just crawled out of the charcoal pit.
