Liuyun Valley is located in the middle of the mountains. The mountain range is nameless but covers an extremely wide area, the veins of the peaks stretch for thousands of miles, and the spiritual veins of heaven and earth are countless, during which the four veins and the main peak each occupy a rare branch of the dragon vein in the world. It is a place where the five veins are full of spiritual energy, and it is worthy of the yearning of the people who cultivate the Tao in the world.

Although the Liuyun Valley mountain range stretches for thousands of miles, there are strange flowers and plants, mountain springs and waterfalls everywhere in the mountains. What's more, the veins are often accompanied by clouds and mist in the mountains, and there are occasional strange lights flashing in the sound of the phoenix crying, and it looks like the place where the immortals of the Nine Heavens gather. It is within a thousand miles, no matter the big cities and small towns, all ordinary people regard the clouds as a fairy forest in the world. Occasionally, some children with deep fortune and talent are connected to the clouds, which is even more enviable, and it has also become the talk of people everywhere after tea and dinner.

When the cultivation is prevalent today, especially after the great war of the hundred years, the strength of the two realms of righteousness and demon has been greatly reduced, although the reputation has not diminished, there are always some sects that are secretly restless. Therefore, recruiting disciples is the best way to restore the strength of the sect, but it is obvious that this cannot be achieved by relying solely on the way Liuyun Valley has accepted disciples for thousands of years. It is the world-famous demon breaking real person Zhao Mingyu is the first to open the door, and built a "cloud climbing step" at the gate of Liuyun Mountain, the intention of which is to announce that all people in the world who have the heart to cultivate the Tao can have a try, if they can pass the addition of all conditions are met, you can worship the mountain gate to get a glimpse of the avenue.

Although there are many drawbacks, the effect is immediate. A large number of gifted and determined children were included in the sect, so within a hundred years, Liuyun was also the sect that had the fastest recovery of eyesight among the parties involved in the war. It is rumored that there was a sect that could include children with good talents, and under the desire for profit, they actually did something to rob people secretly in the mountains outside Liuyun. When the matter came to light, Zhao Mingyu, the head of Liuyun Valley, did not hesitate, and sent the masters of the sect to directly end those sects with the power of thunder, and he acted decisively, ruthlessly and mercilessly. The world was shocked that Liuyun's strength had recovered so quickly, and his admiration was also a little more fearful. Of course, the saying that the righteous path is the first has also spread since then.

In the past six hundred years, this method of selecting apprentices has become more and more perfect, and Liuyun's strength is also the top in the world. I don't know if the amazing and glamorous Demon Breaker Izumi will smile proudly.

――――

On the cloud steps, a teenager is almost walking upwards in a climbing fashion. Not to mention the ugly movements, during the period, there were dangers on this steep stone step.

On both sides of the stone steps, the shade of green trees, strange flowers are everywhere, and it is like in a painting when you look closely. It's just that...... It's just not quite right now. Cheng Linyuan leaned his back against the stone steps, and he was still not very relieved, and his body moved back a few more points, until his back was squeezed and painful. He wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, and secretly complained in his heart, this cloud climbing step is called the nine thousand nine hundred and one steps, but the higher you go, the steeper it becomes. And when he arrived at this place, his feet were almost like hanging in the air, and he had lost the pride he had at the beginning, and the mountain wind in his ears was fierce, and when he was slightly older, his body was blown a little shaking. His face turned pale, and he hurriedly looked down, and the stone steps under his feet were like nothing, and in a trance, it seemed that he would fall into this abyss as soon as he stumbled.

He shook his body, closed his eyes, carefully turned over, and continued to climb up without hesitation. As soon as he moved, someone seemed to let out a soft "huh" in the dense forest next to the stone steps. It's just that Cheng Linyuan didn't pay attention at all at this moment, he gritted his teeth and walked up step by step with a pale face...... No, crawl.

The mountain breeze passed by, and the clouds and mist dispersed. A faint mist drifted quietly, and when I looked up, there was no shadow of Cheng Linyuan.

There was a slight sound of footsteps, and the clouds and mist dispersed. Yun Wanzhou's figure appeared at the place where Cheng Linyuan landed just now, his steps were calm and Cheng Linyuan was like two people, which was not surprising, but if he looked closely, his breathing was a little short, and it seemed that he didn't use the slightest cultivation, and walked up step by step.

Yun Wanzhou stopped in place, glanced up, thoughtful. Just as he was about to raise his leg and continue to walk up, he suddenly heard the wind next to him, and someone shouted: "Who is coming? Dare to trespass on my Liuyun Mountain Gate! Don't you quickly report your name to explain your intentions! Otherwise, don't blame me for being unkind!"

Yun Wanzhou was obviously stunned when he heard this, although he understood that this cloud climbing staircase seemed to be deserted, but in fact there were disciples in the sect patrolling all the time, but he had never heard of this strange statement. He looked at the place where the voice came from with a strange expression, and suddenly felt that the voice just now was a little familiar, and after thinking about it in his heart, he suddenly understood, and said with a slight smile: "Senior Brother Fang, you and I haven't seen each other for many days, and you scared me as soon as we met at the beginning of the year, is it itchy skin?"

The man in the forest froze for a moment, and said angrily: "You are nonsense! If it weren't for the fact that you started earlier than me, your Taoism is higher than mine, and your magic weapon is better than mine, how could I not win against you? If I hadn't been able to beat you, I would have killed you a long time ago!"

Yun Wanzhou: "......" After a while, he muttered: "Yes... Senior Brother Fang is reasonable. ”

The man in the forest didn't seem to care about the almost shameless words just now, and snorted as a matter of course: "Did you bring that child just now?

Yun Wanzhou didn't care about his refusal to show up, and said with a faint smile: "That's right." Trouble Senior Brother Fang, you go to the main peak and report to the real person in charge, saying that I brought that young man back, and I will bring him to the main peak later. ”

Senior Brother Fang let out a strange sigh and said, "The real person in charge wants to see this kid?"

Yun Wanzhou bowed slightly, slowly raised his right hand, and smiled gently.

There was a few "snaps" with the sound of branches breaking, as if someone had accidentally stepped on them while retreating. Senior Brother Fang gritted his teeth and said, "You bastard!" After speaking, there was a sharp sound, followed by a distant sound of breaking the air. Yun Wanzhou stood in place and smiled with satisfaction, and raised his head to climb the stairs.

――――

Cheng Linyuan suddenly exerted his strength, used all his strength to directly cross the last two stone steps, and lay on his back on the ground and let out a sigh. He closed his eyes with a relieved expression, enjoying the unreal feeling as much as he could. He raised his hand to his forehead, and suddenly realized that cold sweat had already flowed down his cheeks. He burst out laughing, and the laughter echoed far away.

In the middle of the night, the non-stop mountain wind has blown away the sweat on his face. Cheng Linyuan took a deep breath and opened his eyes with a bit of anticipation.

The mountain peaks stand in the eye, several white cranes pass through the clouds and come out of the clouds, looking at the sky like washing jade, and the blue sky and clouds seem to be out of the dust!

Reluctantly, he withdrew his gaze and got up to look forward. A mountain wall is more than 100 zhang high and smooth, as if it was cut open by a sword of the Heavenly Immortal Weapon, and there are only two ancient big characters on it, "Broken Boundary", and the strokes between the two words are continuous, as if they are completed in one go. Looking closely, it's daunting.

Cheng Linyuan's heart tightened, and his eyes turned slightly to look under the huge mountain wall. A stone tablet more than three people high stands here, and there are only two words "flowing clouds" on it. Although this stele is insignificant under the mountain wall, the momentum of the word "flowing clouds" does not fall behind at all, on the contrary, it has a faint demeanor that surpasses the former.

His gaze kept exchanging between the two, and after a moment he realized that the two handwriting seemed to be the work of the same person. I don't know what it was used to engrave it, but it is the same between the lines. The difference is that although the word "Broken Boundary" is huge and extraordinary, the closing place is quite dignified, as if it is suppressing something, and a solemn meaning comes to the face. On the other hand, "Liuyun" is smooth and handsome, and it seems to have a faint sense of pride.

Cheng Linyuan didn't know what was so special about these words, but if he thought about it carefully, the person who could leave his handwriting at the gate of Liuyun Mountain would never be a mediocre person. But I don't know what kind of past stories have been sung and weeping under this big character that has gone through the vicissitudes of life.

"Huh, who are you?" Just as Cheng Linyuan was distracted, a man wearing azure clothes and carrying a long sword came out of nowhere. Cheng Linyuan hurriedly gathered his thoughts, and saluted respectfully: "This senior brother is good." ”

The person who came was stunned and said, "Senior brother, are you my disciple of Liuyun Valley? Why don't you cultivate in the valley?" When the disciple saw that he didn't know what he was asking, he suddenly became suspicious in his heart, and walked forward a few steps further and said coldly: "Who are you, why don't you answer?"

Cheng Linyuan saw him slowly approaching, so he had no choice but to say, "I'm here to apprentice." Just walked up the ladder of the clouds... Come up. This person carefully looked at the young man in front of him, and saw that he was indeed uncultivated, and did not look like a person from another sect, and his words at the moment had lost the coldness just now: "Apprenticeship? Then you are really unlucky, the big test in the door only ended at the end of the year three months ago, and if you come here now, unless you can be favored by the master of the sect, I am afraid that you will have to wait for another three years." ”

Cheng Linyuan suddenly said anxiously when he heard this: "But Brother Yun and I didn't say that?" "Brother Yun, is it me from Liuyun?" Cheng Linyuan nodded hurriedly and said, "Yes, his name is Yun Wanzhou." ”

This person raised his eyebrows, Yun Wanzhou naturally knew it. The second disciple of Zheng Dongliu, the first seat of Songdang Stream, is a well-known person among the second generation of disciples. Before he could speak, a figure slowly appeared on the steps of ascending the clouds, it was Yun Wanzhou.

Yun Wanzhou only looked at it and roughly guessed a little, and immediately stepped forward to explain a little to this disciple. The disciple smiled and said, "In this way, I will rest assured, Senior Brother Yun, please." Saying that, he also nodded to Cheng Linyuan.

After Yun Wanzhou hugged his fists and thanked him, he was about to take Cheng Linyuan and walk inside. Suddenly, Cheng Linyuan whispered: "Brother Yun, who wrote these four words?"

Yun Wanzhou looked up when he heard this, although he had seen it many times, there was still an indelible respect in his eyes. After pausing for a while, he respectfully saluted in the direction of the stone wall, and then turned his head to Cheng Linyuan and said, "From the hands of the ancestor of my Liuyun Valley Sect, the ancestor's name is Qin Chengjiu. ”
