Chapter I

The top of the extreme east of Kyushu, the shore of the boundless Han Sea, a land of thousands of miles, like duckweed in the water, rises several feet from the ground, on it, a mountain peak is like a long sword standing on the ground, pointing directly to the sky.

This suspended place, called the ethereal spiritual realm, is the heaven and earth aura surrounding the birth of the peak, the ethereal spiritual realm center rises from the ground, called the ethereal peak, the ethereal peak is steep, the whole body is like a knife, because of sitting on the spiritual realm, the ethereal peak is surrounded by perennial fairy energy, from a distance, between the five-colored clouds and mist, hidden into the image of the city, towering and sacred.

Here, it is the general altar of the Ethereal Sect of Cangyun Continent in Kyushu, and the Ethereal Sect is the top three cultivation sects in Cangyun Continent, 'The white clothes and golden sleeves are as cold as ice, and the sword is cold and cold. It is to describe the cultivator of the Ethereal Sect.

The general altar of the Ethereal Sect, sitting on the top of the Ethereal Peak, the peak is divided into six palaces, namely: Tianyun Palace, Jade Palace, Tsinghua Palace, Hui Palace, Yuying Palace, Mirage Palace, Six Palaces all receive their own children, although there are exchanges, but they are divided into different teachers to preach, every year on October 18, the six palaces gather children in the main hall of the Huaqiong to compete with each other.

It was the cold winter of the wax moon, the snow was like a blade, the breath turned into frost, the ethereal spirit realm was covered with snow, and at the top of the ethereal spirit peak, in a dangerous place, several teenagers in gray clothes, about fifteen or sixteen years old, were forcing a young man who was also wearing gray clothes and was about the same age as these people to a dark ravine.

Here is a natural crack on the ethereal peak, called the Spirit Devouring Ditch, the ravine crack is five zhang long, one zhang wide, and there is a strong aura rushing out from time to time, like a blowout, powerful aura, will tear everything above.

Because it was too dangerous, it was explicitly ordered within the Ethereal Sect that it was forbidden to approach the range of the Spirit Devouring Ditch, but today, several of the Ethereal Sect's lowest-ranking gray-clothed disciples broke this clear order.

The disciples of the Ethereal Sect are distinguished by their clothes, in order, they are gray, green, white, purple and brocade, the gray-clothed disciples are the lowest-level disciples in the Ethereal Sect, and the disciples who have just entered the door wall, regardless of their identity and age, all wear gray clothes, so in the Ethereal Sect, the gray-clothed disciples are the children with the lowest status.

"What do you want?" Xiao Zhen asked in an indifferent voice as he looked at the leaders of these people who had forced themselves to the edge of the Spirit Devouring Ditch.

"Xiao Zhen, others don't know who you are, do you think I won't know? Your Xiao family is really powerful, you actually sent you out, and you still treat you as a person who has nothing to do with it, hehe, it's just that you also underestimate our Luo family, right?"

This young man who spoke, named Luo Yijun, was the leader of this group of gray-clothed disciples besieging Xiao Zhen, his age was the same as Xiao Zhen, and now his slightly immature and handsome face was full of a kind of yin that did not match that age.

Hearing Luo Yijun's words, the gray-clothed disciples who came with Luo Yijun all showed mocking looks, only Xiao Zhen's face became extremely ugly and gloomy.

It turned out that Xiao Zhen was from the Xiao family, a famous family in Cangyun Prefecture, and the Xiao family was the top family in Cangyun Prefecture since a hundred years ago, and the other five families were listed as the six major families in Cangyun Prefecture, and among them, among the six major families, the Xiao family and the Luo family were even more powerful.

And this generation of the head of the Luo family, can be said to be the highest achievement, became the state general of Cangyun Prefecture, in the Kyushu continent, each state has a state general and governor, the state general is in charge of the army of the whole state, the power is great, the head of the Luo family after becoming a state general, immediately began to suppress the Xiao family, under the crazy suppression of the Luo family, the Xiao family's family business was hit hard, although relying on the family's hundred years of accumulation, it can still fight with the Luo family, but after all, it began to gradually decline.

In order to avoid being involved by the family, Xiao Lie, the head of the Xiao family, secretly sent the young Xiao Zhen out of the Xiao family, let a reliable old servant raise him, let Xiao Zhen get rid of the connection with the Xiao family, and hoped that if the Xiao family couldn't support it, there would be a little bit of blood that could be passed on.

Since childhood, Xiao Zhen was raised by an old man surnamed Su, the old man not only raised Xiao Zhen, but also taught Xiao Zhen to play the flute, the old man took his granddaughter Su Zining and Xiao Zhen to live together in a small fishing village, although the life is poor, but it seems to be happy and happy.

Xiao Zhen, who has been a childhood sweetheart since childhood, has a deep relationship with Su Zining, Su Zining always likes her brother's adherence to Xiao Zhen, and Xiao Zhenhe cherishes Su Zining very much.

However, three years ago, a brocade-clothed ethereal sect cultivator who passed by the fishing village saw the potential that Su Zining had, and directly proposed that he wanted to accept Su Zining as an apprentice and bring him to the Ethereal Peak.

Losing Su Zining's son, Xiao Zhen was like losing his soul, several times, Xiao Zhen wanted to sneak away to see Su Zining, but Old Man Su's health was worse day by day, Xiao Zhen couldn't leave, he could only look up at the starry sky every day.

Because Xiao Zhen knows that Su Zining's favorite thing is to look up at the starry sky, only in this way will Xiao Zhen feel that he and Su Zining are under the same starry sky, and at this time, Xiao Zhen will blow the bamboo flute under the moonlight, pinning his thoughts on this flute.

Although Xiao Zhen took care of the old man Su meticulously, but more than a year ago, the old man Su still withdrew his hand, and in the end, he was not able to take a last look at Su Zining, and before he died, the old man Su also told Xiao Zhen about Xiao Zhen's life experience and everything, from then on, Xiao Zhen knew that he was not an orphan, but a person with a family, and in order to protect him, his family could only choose to send him as an ordinary person.

Xiao Zhen knows better, in fact, the Xiao family doesn't care about themselves, every year, the old man Su will pass Xiao Zhen's situation to the Xiao family through letters, so that Xiao Lie knows Xiao Zhen's current situation.

Knowing his life experience, Xiao Zhen's heart trembled, and Xiao Lie's practice of sending Xiao Zhen out in order to protect Xiao Zhen made Xiao Zhen's heart sweet and bitter, each with its own taste, and finally, Old Man Su said Don't hate your father, and resolved the resentment in Xiao Zhen's heart.

The sad Xiao Zhen, after burying the old man Su, what kept flashing in his mind was Su Zining's smile, and Xiao Zhen, who had lost his direction in his heart, began to embark on a journey to the Ethereal Sect.

Relying on his immature feet, Xiao Zhen walked to the place of the ethereal spiritual realm, and with his small arms, he lay on the suspended spiritual realm along the fallen old vines, and with supreme perseverance, Xiao Zhen climbed the ethereal peak like a cliff.

When you are hungry, you eat the plants that grow on the rock wall, drink it, and lick the dew flowing on the cliff, three meals are the same, under that firm will, in half a year, Xiao Zhen actually climbed to the middle of the ethereal peak with the body of **mortal fetus, and endured it with all means, just to see Yiren.

It was Xiao Zhen's amazing perseverance that moved Chun Hao, the palace advocate of the Mirage Palace, and he accepted Xiao Zhen into the Mirage Palace and became the gray-clothed disciple of the Mirage Palace, but Xiao Zhen's acceptance of the matter was that it made the gray-clothed disciples of the Mirage Palace dissatisfied, Xiao Zhen and a civilian had no background, but it made Zhang Chunhao look at it differently, which made these people who were somewhat powerful how could they accept it, and Xiao Zhen did not reveal his identity as a member of the Xiao family, since Xiao Lie tried his best to send Xiao Zhen out, he just didn't want Xiao Zhen to be involved in the family struggle, Xiao Zhen, who knew this, just put his life experience in his heart。

As a result of the exclusion, the gray-clothed disciples of the Mirage Palace threw all the work that belonged to them to Xiao Zhen to do, such as chopping wood and fetching water, and Xiao Zhen, who knew that he was not likable, also gritted his teeth, endured the humiliation, endured the constant contempt and indifference gaze, and listened to the fact that even outside the Mirage Palace, they were talking about belittling themselves, Xiao Zhen gritted his teeth and endured it so much, just to see Su Zining again.

"I don't know what you're talking about. Suppressing the surprise in his heart, Xiao Zhen said to Luo Yijun in a hoarse voice, in the Ethereal Sect, disciples are forbidden to fight privately, once they are caught, the end is to be expelled from the Ethereal Sect, for Su Zining, in order to be able to return to the family after becoming stronger, no matter how great the humiliation, Xiao Zhen also chose to endure!

"I don't know what I'm talking about? Do you really don't know or fake don't know? Otherwise, Young Master Ben can dig up the bones of the old mongrel who raised you and send them to you, maybe you ask the bones and they will answer you, haha......" Luo Yijun's words fell, and immediately made all the gray-clothed disciples laugh, and Xiao Zhen's face changed suddenly, and his eyes instantly turned blood red!

"If you are bold enough to touch Grandpa Su's grave, I will kill you!" angrily swept Luo Yijun and his party, Xiao Zhen drank angrily, and Luo Yijun and his party were slightly shocked when they saw Xiao Zhen suddenly being so tough, and then Luo Yijun's expression became extremely cold.

"Kill me? Who do you think you are! Even if the head of your Xiao family is here, he doesn't dare to touch me, do you think your Xiao family is still the former Cangyun Six Great Families? Tell you, your Xiao family has long since declined, and it is because of this that you bastard were sent out, but the people of your Xiao family thought they could deceive others!"

"Don't deceive people too much!!" Luo Yijun's words made Xiao Zhen's anger no longer able to hide, and when Luo Yijun's words were interrupted with an angry shout, Xiao Zhen's clothes began to dance on his own strangely, as if being blown by a strong wind.

"Hehe, a guy from Ning Yuan Duo Tian, he is actually brave enough to show his teeth and claws here!" Looking at Xiao Zhen, Luo Yijun sneered and stepped forward, and his clothes also began to hunt.

The so-called Ning Yuan is the entry realm of the practitioner, and the cultivator is divided into nine realms, namely the Ning Yuan, the Shaping Body, the Refining Body, the Cheng Dan, the Void, the Golden Body, the Great Achievement, the Chaos and the Nine Realms of Imperishability, the Ning Yuan, that is, the cultivator can condense the Yuan Qi in the body Qi Sea, and will not let the Yuan Qi gradually dissipate, only when he steps into the Ning Yuan realm, can it be truly called the introduction to cultivation, and each cultivation realm, with strength and weakness and separate the Nine Heavens.

Between Luo Yijun's hands, a faint strange black light began to surround him, and the gray-clothed disciples who came with Luo Yijun next to him began to retreat and give up their positions.

'Flutter'

Just when Xiao Zhen looked at Luo Yijun intently, there was a strong wind, but Luo Yijun had already swept towards Xiao Zhen, on the thick snow, there were obviously only one or two shallow footprints, and Luo Yijun in front of Xiao Zhen's eyes, after his right hand bent his fingers into claws, he grabbed Xiao Zhen on the spot, and the dark breath was faintly turned into a sharp eagle claw when Luo Yijun's claws fell.

Seeing the thunderous claw falling, Xiao Zhen gritted his teeth, and then met it with a punch, seeing Xiao Zhen's punching style, the gray-clothed disciples who were watching the battle around laughed, it turned out that what Xiao Zhen used was the Five Elements Fist, which was just the simplest fitness boxing method taught by the sect after the disciples of the Ethereal Sect went up the mountain, and it couldn't even be called martial arts!

The so-called martial arts are the skills that can maximize the vitality of the cultivator, and if you don't know martial arts, it's like holding millions of fortunes but not knowing how to use them.

'Smack!!'

The fists and claws slammed together, and countless wounds immediately appeared on Xiao Zhen's arm, as if he had been cut by a knife, but Xiao Zhen's punch did not affect Luo Yijun, Luo Yijun, who has been in contact with cultivation since he was a child, is stronger than Xiao Zhen, who became a monk halfway, no matter what aspect.

"This martial art is called Golden Eagle Claw, you can take a good look at it, the gap between us!"

While sneering, Luo Yijun's pair of claws surrounded by black gas kept attacking Xiao Zhen, the strong wind blowing from the hunt was as sharp as a blade, in the face of such an attack, Xiao Zhen could only continue to retreat and seek opportunities to counterattack.

Although he had the upper hand, Luo Yijun's expression was extremely hideous, and the mocking smiles of the gray-clothed disciples around him had also dissipated, replaced by silence.

It is a miracle that a guy who only understands the Five Elements Fist can support Luo Yijun for so long, even they themselves do not have the slightest confidence to be able to hold on to Luo Yijun for so long, but Xiao Zhen did it, and he did it with the Five Elements Fist that they all scoffed at.

And after a long time of attacking, Luo Yijun felt even more gloomy on his face, and everyone's eyes made Luo Yijun's heart suddenly appear, and together with the killing intent, Luo Yijun's moves began to become vicious, grabbing a stumble when Xiao Zhen retreated, and the next moment, Luo Yijun's terrifying eagle claw came down towards Xiao Zhen's head.

"If you want me to die, I won't let you live!!"

The anger in his heart erupted, and the humiliation that he had been suffering from the Ethereal Sect surged out in an instant under Luo Yijun's too pressing offensive, and in an instant, Xiao Zhen's right hand was wrapped in a layer of faint red light, and the next moment, Xiao Zhen did not dodge or dodge Luo Yijun's claw, and at the same time, the punch that filled Xiao Zhen's whole body strength without reservation also blasted towards Luo Yijun's chest!
