Chapter 2: The Hall of the Seven Stars
Tianjian Gate is a major sect in the righteous path of cultivating immortals, it is located in the territory of Ningzhou in the Kyushu continent on the Ziyun Mountain, there are many masters in the sect, it is said that its head Tianyun Zhenren has reached the realm of transformation in the cultivation of the Taoist method that is not spread by the Heavenly Sword Gate - Yantian Jue.
Since ancient times, the Heavenly Sword Gate's recipe for deriving heaven and earth is to seize heaven and earth, and it is incomparably mysterious. It is also said that if someone is lucky enough to reach the highest level of the Heavenly Formula, he can go to heaven and earth and be omnipotent.
Of course, in addition to its power, Yantian Jue also has a major feature, it is rumored that it is the most difficult to cultivate in the cultivation realm of the Kyushu Continent, and it is also the most profound Taoist exercise. For thousands of years, the Heavenly Sword Sect has produced many clever and brilliant people. Nor has anyone ever reached the highest level.
However, the Heavenly Sword Sect is indeed a genius, and they have realized all kinds of thaumaturgical true techniques from the esoteric Heavenly Dao Method, and they are extremely powerful and unguardable. Because of this, the Heavenly Sword Gate has become a great sect of cultivation on the same level as the Fumo Temple, the Ethereal Peak, and the Water Spirit Palace. As for the demon cultivators, the people of the Heavenly Sword Sect disdained to compare with them.
This day is the ten-year disciple selection meeting of the Heavenly Sword Sect. In this selection of disciples, the Heavenly Sword Sect will select disciples for the entire Kyushu Continent, and the selection system is very strict.
They are only young men and women who can build a foundation before the age of 10, or who have already done so but are not yet 20 years old. Because of this strict condition, there is no doubt that the number of disciples is greatly limited, but it has to be said that every disciple who comes out of the Heavenly Sword Sect is a proud existence of the sky, and even the worst disciple will become the object of competition when he reaches the small sect. Not to mention the characters who dominate the door.
It was noon, and the Heavenly Sword Gate, which was usually quiet and unusually quiet, was already boiling at this time. There are nine peaks in the Heavenly Sword Gate, of which the long gate is Tongtian Peak, and the other eight peaks are Tianxing Peak, Lei Xiao Peak, Shuiling Peak, Xuantu Peak, Chiyan Peak, Grass Planting Peak, Refining Peak, and Zixia Peak. On the day of the selection of disciples, the first of each peak will gather at Tongtian Peak to select disciples who are in line with their own cultivation techniques. It can be described as very lively.
In today's world, the Dao is the foundation, but under the Dao Law, there are also spells, body methods, true techniques, and sword techniques...... They are derived from the Dao Method, and it can be said that a person's strength does not depend entirely on his Dao realm, but also on the techniques, body techniques, true techniques, and sword techniques they practice.
Let's ask if a person's Dao realm is higher than others, but the techniques he practices are the lowest, and the other party can use powerful spells, then he can only drink hatred and defeat. Of course, it is also true that the strength of the spell does not have as much impact on the battle as the Dao realm. Therefore, cultivating a good Dao method is not known how many times better than cultivating a good technique.
The most important thing in cultivating techniques is to look at the spiritual power of the cultivator, if the spiritual power is biased towards the fire system, then the technique of cultivating the fire system is better, and if it is biased towards the water system, it is best to cultivate the spell of the water system. Therefore, the Heavenly Sword Sect divided the disciples of different spiritual power systems into different peaks, which also meant that the major peaks would compete with each other.
The Sea of Clouds is a large open field on Tongtian Peak, and at the beginning of its establishment, it was used to provide a place for the disciples of each peak to rest. Because the Heavenly Sword Gate was originally located on the highest peaks of Ziyun Mountain, and Tongtian Peak was the highest existence among the nine peaks. Therefore, this open field is shrouded in clouds and mist all year round, which is why it is named "sea of clouds".
At this time, above the sea of clouds, eight long queues had already been consciously formed. And Ye Xiaotian took the giant eagle at this time and arrived above the sea of clouds. He glanced at the eight teams and stood silently in the smallest group. Because he had heard Ye Shi'er say that Zixia Peak was the weakest peak in the Heavenly Sword Sect, and the inheritance time was also the shortest, he felt that there should not be many disciples who entered Zixia Peak!
Not to mention the bustling pomp and circumstance on the sea of clouds. At this time, in the Seven Star Hall of Tongtian Peak, the first seat of the eight veins of the Heavenly Sword Gate was actually gathered here, and even the head of Tianyun Zhenren, who was said to have closed the life and death for a long time, was also sitting in it. And their expressions were all solemn.
"Senior Brother in charge, is this true?" a middle-aged Taoist priest with a green beard suddenly said to Tianyun Zhenren, who was sitting in the middle.
Tianyun Zhenren was wearing a dark cyan robe, his face was extremely ruddy, he nodded, and said in a deep voice: "I'm afraid it's true, Senior Brother Liu can't lie to us!"
"I know too!" "I know!" the Qingshu Daoist sighed, "It's just that this sounds really hard to believe, the Xue family, one of the four major families in Blackwater City, actually wiped out the clan overnight?
"Yes, Senior Brother Aoki, have you forgotten? The elders of the sect once told us about the battle between good and evil thousands of years ago!" said an old man in a moon-white robe, sitting on the right side.
"Senior Brother Qingyuan, you mean...... That mysterious force? You said that the Xue family was destroyed, and they did it?"
Qingyuan Daoist glanced at Aoki Daoren and was noncommittal.
"Okay, Senior Brother Aoki, whether it was done by that mysterious force or not, we have to be prepared, this time the battle between good and evil is estimated to not be simple!"
Only then did everyone turn their eyes in another direction, only to see a young man, who was lying quietly in the Hall of Seven Stars, and under him, there was a piece of colorful jade, which was exuding a soft light, enveloping the young man. And the young man was dressed in a snow-white brocade robe, which was already tattered, and there were even patches of blood, and the printed clothes of the young man were all over his body! At this time, although the young man had his eyes closed, his brows were tightly locked.
It was Aoki who opened his mouth and said, "Senior brother in charge, I don't know where this child came from?"
Tianyun Zhenren pondered for a while, and said slowly: "Early this morning, as usual, I came to the Seven Stars Hall early, ready to meditate for a while. Who knows, as soon as I sat down, I smelled a strong smell of blood. I followed the smell for a while, and then I found the child, who was also in a coma, covered in blood, and had a note pressed under him...... Well, that's it!"
As he spoke, a white light flashed in his hand, and a note was already in his hand. I saw that it was a red note, and there were about 20 large black characters written on it. Everyone hurriedly looked closer, only to see that it was written, "This son is still young, but he is lonely, I hope your faction can take him in!"
It's just that after everyone watched it, they all looked solemn. After a long time, Daoist Qingyuan suddenly spoke: "Senior Brother in charge, what do you think of this person who wrote the note?"
"Well, in my opinion, since this person was able to ascend the Seven Star Hall without the uncles of Nagato noticing, and then left safely, his strength must be extraordinary, and the young man he brought over must not be a child of an ordinary family!
"Senior brother, in that case, let's send this kid down the mountain and let an ordinary family take him in!"
"Aoki, our Heavenly Sword Sect is a famous sect of righteousness, how can we not do good deeds because we are afraid of some evil forces?" but a short and fat middle-aged man suddenly scolded angrily.
Hearing this, Aoki Lao's face turned red, but he still said to himself: "Hmph, Yunshan, do you think you have justice? I also did this to take into account the safety of the sect." Besides, the senior brother in charge used the colorful divine jade to heal this son's injuries, which can be regarded as the end of benevolence and righteousness, senior brothers, do you say yes or no?"
Although everyone didn't reply to Aoki's words, a few of them nodded secretly, including the Qingyuan Dao Chief.
"You ...... Anyway, if you don't dare to adopt this child, I'll adopt him!"
"Senior Brother Yunshan is angry!" Tianyun Zhenren, who had not expressed much of his attitude since just now, suddenly said, "Senior Brother Aoki is indeed reasonable, but Senior Brother Yunshan is also right, as a famous and decent family, we should not be afraid of some evil people, so this child, I will personally accept him as a disciple!"
Hearing this, everyone was stunned, and Qingyuan even said: "Senior brother in charge, I'm afraid this is not appropriate! The Heavenly Sword Sect has door rules, and only the remaining eight veins can accept disciples, and the Changmen One Vein is a retreat and cultivation place for the elders of each vein to retreat and cultivate, and impact the retreat of immortality, and now Senior Brother wants to accept this son as a disciple, wouldn't it be against the door rules?"
Tianyun Zhenren nodded, and said lightly: "Yes, there is indeed such a rule in my sect, but the door rule also says that if the head of the sect needs to retreat and cultivate for a long time, he can choose one person to be accepted as a disciple for the purpose of inheriting the mantle in the future." Am I right or not?"
"Well, that's what I said!" Aoki nodded, "But Senior Brother Boss, you are still in your prime, why do you need to close the life and death barrier...... Isn't it ......?"
"Oh, I didn't say this first, I'm going to apologize first, well, not long ago, I just broke through, and now I only need to consolidate for about a hundred years before I can impact the realm of immortality, so in this hundred years, it's best to give this inheritance mantle!"
Everyone was shocked again, and then they couldn't help but be disappointed, Tianyun's Dao realm had entered the realm so quickly, I was afraid that it was really possible for him to reach the realm of immortality, and they were far from being able to achieve cultivation success!
"Alas, Senior Brother is really a genius in the sky, it seems that we will never be able to catch up!" Qing Yuan sighed, "Although this kid's cultivation qualifications are excellent, I don't know what his spiritual talent is, if he can't do it, I'm afraid he won't be able to become the future head of the Heavenly Sword Sect!"
"Well, that's right," Tianyun Zhenren nodded, "I'll test this child's spiritual root talent!" I didn't see how he moved, and after the white light flashed, he already had a round platform in his hand. The material of the round platform seems to be green jade, and there are eight small swords made of jade of different colors on it, and a small white jade ball.
Tianyun Zhenren walked in front of the young man with the round platform, while Aoki put the young man's hand on the white jade ball and activated the round platform with mana. After a short silence, I saw that the round platform that was still calm suddenly shone brightly, and eight jade swords of different colors emitted different degrees of light one after another, but without exception, the light they emitted was very bright.
"This, this can't be said to be a genius, it can only be said that he is a demonic existence!" "Looking at the shiny eight small swords, Aoki muttered.
"Yes, this may be the first person I have ever seen, the talent of the eight spiritual roots is very high! I'm afraid that the talent of the Chongguang Master and Uncle Ancestor was not like this back then!" said the old man with a green beard.
"With excellent qualifications and such a demonic spiritual root talent, it is unknown that this son may be able to cultivate the Heavenly Technique to the legendary supreme realm. Alas, I don't know if our Heavenly Sword Sect has this son, is it a blessing or a curse!"
Even Master Qiu Han, who had not said a word and was not shocked, frowned, faintly worried.
Such a rare genius in 10,000 years actually appeared in front of him at this moment, and the people present all revealed a strong heartbeat, and even Tianyun Zhenren, who looked down on everything, couldn't help but show a knowing smile.
Although everyone wanted to take the young man for themselves, because they had said in advance that they would not accept it, they could not pull down their faces and regret it, so they had to congratulate Tianyun Zhenren with a smile on accepting a good successor! This person was naturally Yunshan, because he saw that the disciple he wanted to accept was snatched away by Tianyun, and it was strange that he could be happy. I saw that he opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but after all, it turned into a cold snort and left angrily!
