Lingxu Peak, the main peak of Qingyang Mountain, is the highest peak of Qingyang Mountain Range, located in the northeast of Nai He City, fifty miles away, towering and precipitous. Legend has it that the summit can listen to the language of the heavens at night.

It's just that Lingxu Peak is hidden in the arms of the seventy-two peaks of Qingyang, like the golden branches and jade leaves and the heavenly fairy hidden in the deep boudoir of nature, surrounded by peaks, coupled with the clouds and fog cover, it is usually not seen from outside the mountain at all, the world admires its name, but it is difficult to see its appearance, which is even more mysterious and wonderful, for hundreds of years, it has been the idol holy place that the people of the Dahua Dynasty admire. Only when autumn comes, occasionally catch up with a cloudless good day, and look at it from afar, can you glimpse her verdant face on the vast green peaks, but in fact, what you see outside is only the peak of Lingxu Peak. There is also a tall, looming, blue-white stone pillar-like building on the summit, which is said to be the nine-story pavilion Lingxu Pavilion on the peak where you can listen to the language of heaven and people at night.

In fact, the peak body of Lingxu Peak is not so huge, standing on the peak of the Ethereal Peak and looking at Lingxu Peak closely, I saw that it was verdant throughout, not like a big man with a bloated body, but like a beautiful woman with a slender figure, just steep and high as a pillar, towering into the sky, and the peak body is like a pagoda, layer by layer to the nine heavens. As the so-called is based in the sea of clouds, the body is like a pavilion. The lower body cliff is like a pretty skirt, looming in the faint sea of clouds in autumn; the upper body is dressed in emerald clothes and silver belts, and it is in a nine-layer circle, steep and upright; you can also see the green and white nine-story stone pavilion on the peak, such as the pointed silver crown jade ornament, which has a delicate beauty. It's just that Lingxu Peak is surrounded by clouds and mist on all sides, and there is no way to climb the mountain at all, only in the sea of clouds on the west side, there are a few misty ridges exposed, like faintly floating islands, and like a series of intermittent bridge piers, which seem to be faintly connected with the ethereal peak at your feet.

"Fourth Senior Brother, do you have a way to get by?" Liang Qingshan raised his eyes and asked Shang Qingtian.

Shang Qingtian shook his head, turned his face to look at Fairy Mei and said, "Little uncle, please turn the bridge!"

Fairy Mei smiled slightly, plucked the bird-shaped jade phoenix golden hairpin from her head, tore off two long black hairs, and threaded each of the two long hairs into two tiny eyelets on the jade phoenix golden hairpin, and tied a knot on each of them. The whole process is like threading a needle.

"The jade phoenix golden hairpin, the fairy spirit is boundless, the void builds a bridge, and breaks through the abyss. ”

Fairy Mei whispered silently, threw forward, and threw the jade phoenix golden hairpin. The hosta immediately turned into a strange emerald bird, carrying two long hair and green silk flew forward, and the two long hair flew long in the wind, instantly growing into two long green ribbon long ropes, skimming the pier-like ridges in the sea of clouds, connecting those ridges into a string, and when the bird landed on the Lingxu Peak, the two parallel green ropes were quickly covered with yellow wood horizontal boards, and a three-foot-wide pier pontoon bridge was quietly generated.

"Seventh Senior Sister, can you walk on this bridge?"

Looking at this soft bridge floating in the clouds, Xiao Fifteen Hua Qinglou hurriedly asked Jiang Qingyao.

"It should be!" Jiang Qingyao replied, turning her face to look at the fourth uncle, Fairy Mei. In fact, she didn't know it in her heart.

"Fourth!" Fairy Mei shouted to Shang Qingtian, "You are familiar with the bridge and the path, you should take the lead!"

Shang Qingtian took the hand of the eleventh junior sister Jiang Qingyu, stepped onto the pontoon bridge quickly, and walked forward more than a dozen steps.

"Keep up with you, look ahead, your eyes are fixed on the bridge, your heart is as calm as water, there is only the bridge in your heart, and there is only the bridge in front of you. Fairy Mei said.

The old ten Zhou Qingfeng took the hand of the fourteenth Chu Qingtai and followed closely. The fifth Liang Qingshan led the little seventeenth Li Qingtong, the seventh Jiang Qingyao led the little fifteenth Hua Qinglou, and the third senior brother Wu Qingyu of the Eastern Pulse held the little ninth sister Lan Qingyue and followed one after another. Fairy Mei walked at the end, like a helmsman.

Walking on the trembling pontoon, the blue sky overhead, vast and boundless, and the clouds and ravines under your feet, some places shallow and unfathomable. Just as people stand on the seashore and look at the sea and feel the clear blue, when they originally stood on the ethereal peak and looked at the sea of clouds, they were also full of white. When people swim into the sea, they see only transparent water and transparent or translucent seabed, and now they walk in the clouds and mist, and they see only transparent or translucent milky white mist, and shallow or deep, clear or semi-clear ravines. Several young disciples, young people who were in this place for the first time, also had a more or less fear of heights, and when they were so nervous, they had to close their eyes and hold the hands of their senior brother or sister tightly, stand up and follow forward with trepidation. A few older brothers and sisters, except for Shang Qingtian, although they are all walking on the fantasy pontoon bridge in this deep valley for the first time, they (or they) have no choice but to recite the four uncle's mottos in their hearts: "Look ahead, the heart is as calm as water, there is only a bridge in the heart, then there is only a bridge in front of you." As if he saw the steady figure of the fourth senior brother in front of him, such as a leisurely stroll, his heart gradually became clear, and his steps were steady, as if there was nothing beside him, and he moved forward steadily.

Walking down together, trembling and leisurely, they finally stepped on the stone steps on the Lingxu Peak, and the young disciples calmly let go of the hands of the senior brothers and sisters. Although the fourth merchant Qingtian had been holding the hand of the eleven herring fish, he did not feel any waves in her heart, and he couldn't help but sigh at her mental concentration, which somewhat understood the reason why the master chose her to learn the "Spiral Sword Array". Fifteen Hua Qinglou let go of the seventh Jiang Qingyao's hand, and cold sweat overflowed from the palms and brains. Seventeen Li Qingtong let go of the fourth senior brother's hand, and finally breathed a long sigh of relief in his heart. However, the fourteenth Chu Qingtai was on the side as if there was nothing, and the east vein Xiaojiu Lan Qingyue had been quiet all the time.

Now, Li Qingtong and his senior brothers and sisters have finally climbed this mythical and legendary immortal peak. Looking at the clear mountains of the green dragon, listening to the smart and clear stream, and looking around at the continuous green peaks of Qingyang, they are all intoxicated with heartfelt admiration. Only when you step on the peak with your feet can you really feel the abundant aura here, and it is really an excellent treasure place for cultivating the true way and refining the gods. The disciples stepped on the stone steps and circled up, cheering one by one, and their excitement was overflowing.

"Fourth Senior Uncle, tell us the story of this Lingxu Peak!" Jiang Qingyao said excitedly.

"The story of Lingxu Peak has already spread, most of you know it, what else is there to tell?" Fairy Mei said.

"We still want to hear what the Fourth Senior Uncle has to say, aren't you?" Liang Qingshan echoed.

"Yes!" was almost unanimous.

Seeing that the disciples were very interested, and she was quite infected, Fairy Mei also came up, so she said:

"Okay! I'll tell you a little bit more! Among the seventy-two strange mountains and peaks of Qingyang Mountain, the 'Qingyang Nine Uniques' is the crown, and among the 'Qingyang Nine Uniques', the main peak, Lingxu Peak, is the most legendary and mysterious. As everyone knows, this most mysterious Qingyan Xiufeng is the youngest of the seventy-two peaks in Qingyang. ”

"We have also heard of the legend of the Heavenly Emperor building the peak, but we don't know exactly how it was made, so please tell the Fourth Master in detail!" Wu Qingyu, the third senior brother of the Eastern Vein Sect, said seriously.

Fairy Mei said: "The existence of Qingyang Mountain has been at least thousands or even tens of thousands of years, but the appearance of Lingxu Peak has been a matter of more than three hundred years. There are many folk versions of the legend of the Heavenly Emperor's peak, which is recorded in the first volume of the "Qingyang Xiuzhen Secret Classic" left by the patriarch. Legend has it that there was no such peak, but one night at the beginning of the founding of the dynasty, the people in the town suddenly heard a deafening crackling sound, and the earthquake under their feet trembled, and the houses shook incessantly. People suspect that the war has started again, looking for sound to look northeast, only to see Qingyang Mountain, a bright and dazzling fire dragon from the peaks broke through the sky, rolled up, straight into the sky, the black clouds above the fire dragon rolled, the blasting sound was endless, but there were no soldiers, horses, carriages and cannons from far and near. After dawn, the fire clouds dispersed with the dark night, and a red peak appeared on the arch of the surrounding green peaks, and there was a holy white cloud floating on the top, white dazzling and dazzling; the white clouds were like crowns, but the surrounding sky was blue, and there was not a trace of clouds. Next, something even stranger happened, the white clouds like a crown slowly expanded, and after a while, they filled the sky of Nai He Town, all said that the morning clouds and twilight rain, but the morning clouds of that day did not wait for noon to fall the drizzle, the sky and mountains blurred in the weaving drizzle, and became full of confusion. Although the rain is not very heavy, it is very lingering, and it lasts for seven days at a time, which is extremely rare in spring, which is known for having little rain and more drought. After the clouds disperse, people look at the peaks of Qingyang Mountain, the peaks are like jade mountains, but they can no longer see the red peak, after careful searching, they find that in the middle of a group of green and jade peaks, there is more than a verdant peak like the top of the tower, which is more beautiful and extraordinary than the surrounding peaks. The legend of the strange peak descending from the sky and the creation of the favor has spread far and wide, and the Lingxu Peak has been born since then. ”

"It's really supernatural!" Fifteen Huaqinglou stuck out his tongue and said.

"What happened later?" Li Qingtong hurriedly asked.

"Soon after the birth of Lingxu Peak, the ancestor Qingyang Zhenren came to the shore of the East China Sea, and it was sitting on the top of this Xuxu Peak Lingding, holding Yuan Shouyi, fasting and breathing, absorbing the star power of the nine heavens, gathering the aura of the Eight Desolations, taking the body as the Dan furnace, imitating the luck of heaven and earth and the wilderness, sitting and practicing for nine hundred and eighty-one days, and then obtaining the Great Dao Gongfa, which opened the mountain in Qingyang Mountain, and built the nine-story secret pavilion Lingxu Pavilion on the top of the peak. Fourth, you don't know the situation in the Lingxu Pavilion, so let's tell the junior brothers and sisters about it!"

Shang Qingtian said: "Lingxu Pavilion has a total of nine layers, the first floor is called the Sitting Dao Pavilion, the second floor is called the Refining Pavilion, the third floor is called the Qi Pavilion, the fourth floor is called the Freedom Pavilion, the fifth floor is called the Divine Pavilion, the sixth floor is called the Void Pavilion, the seventh floor is called the Ascending Immortal Pavilion, the eighth floor is called the Tongtian Pavilion, and the ninth floor is called the Wuji Pavilion. This nine-layer pavilion corresponds to the ninth-order products of cultivation, each layer has its own wonderful use, and only people of the corresponding level can ascend the corresponding level of pavilions, and it is difficult to jump from the level of the pavilion without Taoism. Therefore, this nine-layer Lingxu Pavilion also has the unique role of school examination skills, fourth-order disciples can only climb to the fourth-level Qixu Pavilion, and sixth-order Xuanhuang masters can only climb to the sixth-level Void Pavilion. If you reluctantly ascend one level, you will be counterattacked by the spiritual power in the pavilion, the light ones will be dizzy, nauseous and vomiting, people will be like food poisoning, and it will be difficult for the spirit to return for a few days; It is said that in the past three hundred years, only the founder of the mountain, Qingyang Zhenren, has climbed the eight-story Tongtian Pavilion, sat on the eight and looked at the nine, nostalgic for the past and the present, and never went up again; ”

In addition to the Lingxu Pavilion, Qingyang Zhenren is also on the shoulder of the mysterious boulder mountain on the north side of the Lingxu Pavilion, and there is a three-story Returning Void Pavilion, which is also called the Little Lingxu Pavilion by the masters, mainly for the life of sudden illness or sudden death in battle, and the only remaining soul to refine the gods and return the void. Thirty years ago, the Qingyang faction began to gather and refine the gods and return the immortals to the eight disciples who died honorably in the bloody battle of the East China Sea in the Returning Void Pavilion. The flat peak of the green and beautiful Lingxiu on the east side of the Lingxu Pavilion and the craggy storm rock on the west side are each split into a practice dojo, and with the help of Zhong Lingxiu's qi on the peak, they carry out a dive cultivation for the disciples above the fifth order every year, so as to accelerate the integration and sublimation of their own skills and exercises, so as to achieve Xuanhuang as soon as possible. Of course, these are the secrets of the Qingyang faction itself, and the participants are strictly forbidden to preach to others, let alone disclose to the secular outside the mountain, so there are so many magical legends about Lingxu Peak in the world.

In addition, the disciples who are fortunate enough to be able to climb the Spirit Void Peak are the disciples of the "Spiral Illusion Sword Array" who can only be fortunate enough to have the opportunity for decades or even a hundred years. Therefore, the ten people who were recommended to learn the "Spiral Sword Array" this time were all lucky, and the two little disciples of the fifteenth flower Qinglou and the seventeenth Li Qingtong were the lucky stars of luck, but the two of them had never known the details. Among the ten people, only Liang Qingshan has ascended the Lingxu Pavilion. The first time was thirty years ago when he came to learn and practice the "Spiral Illusion Sword Array" with the four senior brothers of Qingcang, Qinghai, Qingsang, and Qingji, and he was also the lucky one among those disciples; the second time was ten years ago when he came to practice with his master as a fifth-order disciple; since then, he has come to practice once a year, and in terms of his own skills, he really feels a different increase.

Listening to the legendary story told by Fairy Mei and Shang Qingtian, everyone had unconsciously climbed to the peak, and there was a towering blue and white pavilion in front of them, which should be the Lingxu Pavilion that was rumored to be the world.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and finally came to the front of this Divine Pavilion, but they heard a "Pu Ling" sound, only to see a huge divine bird suddenly descend from the sky, landing in the stone steps in front of them, standing tall in front of them, squinting at them. I saw that this divine bird was nine feet tall, with a snake neck and a fish tail, a chicken beak and a swallow's jaw, a dragon and a turtle's back, a stork and a mandarin duck, four wings on its back, and a colorful feather.

The young disciples were stunned for a moment.
