Chapter 2: Senjo Falls
The continent where Xiao Xuan is located is vast, and there have been ancient powerful monks who have traveled the world, roughly dividing the continent into five parts, namely Dongzhou, Nanling, Beihai, Western Regions, and Zhongdu.
The Sword Cloud Sect is located in the territory of Dongzhou, and it is one of the top immortal sects in Dongzhou, although there are countless sects such as the Sword Cloud Sect on the entire continent, but it is also quite famous in a corner of Dongzhou, so there are countless people who come to apprentice to the Taoist.
Xiao Xuan looked at it, there were many people in front of the mountain gate of the Sword Cloud Sect, there were no less than a thousand people, and they were all secular young men and women who wanted to step into the immortal path and enter the Sword Cloud Sect to cultivate.
In front of the mountain gate, dozens of Sword Cloud Sect disciples maintained the order of the scene, although the number was not large, but no one dared to make a mistake, because these disciples pulled out one casually, it was enough to suppress these thousands of people backhanded, so the scene was extremely quiet.
In the past few days, Han Chen has briefly introduced some basic knowledge of the cultivation realm to Xiao Xuan, the realms of the cultivation path are, practicing qi, building the foundation, Jindan, Yuanying, transforming the gods, practicing the qi is the lowest, and building the foundation is second, as for the realm above the transformation of the gods, there must be some, but it is not something that people at their stage can touch.
"Xiao Xuan's apprentice, if you want to become a disciple of my Sword Cloud Sect, you must first go through two introductory assessments, the first is to test the spiritual root, if you don't have a spiritual root on your body, then you don't have the conditions for cultivation, and you have to be eliminated. ”
"And after passing the first assessment, my Jianyun *one* book * read * small * said that the YBDU Sect will classify the disciples with spiritual roots, which is the so-called second test, then the second test is to stand under this thousand-zhang waterfall, accept the impact of the current, and the longer you persist, the higher the status you will gain among the disciples after entering the sect. ”
The disciples of the Sword Cloud Sect are divided into three categories, the first type is the outer disciples, this type of disciples is the most common in the sect, their cultivation is uniformly taught and guided by the lecturer, and the cultivation resources are extremely limited.
The second category is the inner disciples, second only to the outer disciples in number, and the cultivation of the inner disciples is under the responsibility of a few elders in the sect.
The third category is the personal disciples, the highest status of the Sword Cloud Sect is the first of the nine main peaks, and the head of the Sword Cloud Sect is also one of them, but the head of the sect is different from the other eight first seats, he also manages the affairs of the entire sect, and his status is the most respected, and the so-called personal disciples are the first of the eight and the disciples personally accepted by the head of the sect.
In the entire Sword Cloud Sect, there are only a few personal disciples accepted by each of the first seats, which shows the high status of the personal disciples, and Han Chen is the first of the Sword Shaofeng among them.
And this second assessment before us is to determine which of these young men and women will become these third-class disciples.
Han Chen pointed to the Qianzhang Waterfall in front of the mountain gate, and explained to Xiao Xuan carefully, the waterfall is flowing thousands of feet, its impact can be imagined, and those who do not have great perseverance can not insist, and Xiao Xuan observed that the cranes in front of the mountain gate are different from the ordinary white cranes, they are larger and can lift two or three people, and the water that these cranes drink is the water of this waterfall, and the leopard in the tube shows that the water of this waterfall is extraordinary, and there must be something special.
Xiao Xuan said, "Master rest assured, although the disciple does not know what the difficulties of this test are, he must go all out." ”
It is said that this Qianzhang Waterfall is also a well-known place in the Jianyun Sect, and it is said that it is the ancestor of the sect, Jianyun Zhenjun, an old monster who has reached the stage of transformation into a god, personally built it, which is specially used to test the mental and physical qualities of the disciples of the sect, not only that, but also has an excellent tamping effect on the disciple's entry foundation, which has the effect of strengthening the root bones and washing the marrow and cutting the bones.
Although the Sword Cloud Sect is gradually lonely, except for the patriarch of the Kai Sect, there has never been any monk in the Transformation Period, in this generation, the Sword Cloud Sect has not even had the Yuanying Monk under the Transformation Period, and only the head of the sect has reached the late stage of Jindan, but this highly symbolic Qianzhang Waterfall is still well preserved.
And today's assessment test for this introductory disciple is also conducted here.
Seeing that Han Chen led a young man in a cloud-patterned white robe over, although the disciples who were maintaining order on the side were puzzled, they still stepped forward and saluted, "Disciple see Senior Uncle......
Han Chen's current realm is in the late stage of foundation building, among his peers, Han Chen's cultivation is mediocre, but this does not hinder his status in the sect, Han Chen bowed slightly, "This is my new disciple Xiao Xuan, and he is also counted in the assessment today." ”
"Xiao Xuan has seen all the senior brothers......" Xiao Xuan said with neither humility nor arrogance.
"Senior Brother Xiao Xuan doesn't have to be polite. Xiao Xuan could feel it from the attitudes of these senior brothers, and there was a hint of disdain in their words, after all, although his master Han Chen belonged to the same generation in the Sword Cloud Sect and the Zhangjiao, his cultivation was too bad, and the cultivation of these disciples was higher than that of Han Chen, so there was such a situation.
One of the men with a gloomy face stepped forward and said to Xiao Xuan, "In Xia Yan Feng, he is the person in charge of this assessment of the introductory disciples, forgive me for taking the liberty of being presumptuous, I don't know if Senior Brother Xiao Xuan has a spiritual root." ”
"Spiritual Root...... Naturally, there is. Xiao Xuan nodded slightly.
"Oh, I don't know how many attributes Senior Brother Xiao's Five Elements Spirit Root has?"
"Five. Xiao Xuan was stunned for a moment, but still answered truthfully.
The "Five Kinds of ......" is not just Yan Feng, the same door present gasped, as we all know, the spiritual root is divided into five elements, gold, wood, water, fire and earth, the fewer attributes of the spiritual root, the easier it is to absorb the spiritual energy in cultivation, and the stronger the innate advantage, if your spiritual root only has a single attribute, congratulations, then you must be blessed on the road of cultivation.
A person like Xiao Xuan, who has five attributes of spiritual roots, is destined to only be reduced to the lowest level of cultivation in the future, and this new junior disciple has not an ordinary poor qualification.
"Hey, I didn't expect that Uncle Han Chen's talent was mediocre, and the disciples he received were not so successful......" The spiritual root possessed by the person who spoke had three attributes, which were two levels higher than Xiao Xuan, so in his words, the contempt was not concealed, although the voice was extremely small, he was still listened to by Xiao Xuan.
"yes, maybe it's like like gathering......"
"If I were him, get out of here as soon as possible, so as not to be embarrassed here!"
......
"You ......" Xiao Xuan himself was humiliated, but seeing that these people were so disrespectful to Master Han Chen, he was about to step forward to theorize, but was stopped by Master Han Chen in time, and Han Chen's spiritual power transmission that could only be heard by Xiao Xuan sounded in Xiao Xuan's ears, "Xiao Xuan's disciples, don't be impatient, cultivators should be calm and calm, not moved by external objects, in the future, you will work hard to cultivate, so that they will be impressed, you must know that this is also a kind of training for your mind, have you forgotten the teachings of the teacher to you in the past few days?"
"The disciple has not forgotten, the master said to me yesterday, the world slandered me, deceived me, insulted me, laughed at me, despised me, despised me, hated me, deceived me, how to deal with me......?
Xiao Xuan understood what Han Chen meant, and was in awe of the master's open-mindedness, "Yes, the disciple understands......"
Han Chen nodded with satisfaction, nodded slightly, and said, "Xiao Xuan'er, how can Ling Zun be less tempered before he moved to Dongzhou, and there is no lack of bullying and ridicule, but in the end, Xiao Han Daoyou went farther and farther on the road of cultivation with perseverance, and gave that group of rats a resounding slap in the face......"
Mentioning his father, Xiao Xuan's eyes couldn't help but flash a trace of gloom, the son wants to raise but does not treat, this kind of pain can not be experienced by those who have experienced it, although in the end, the father was abolished because of an accident and became a mortal, but the image of his father in his mind is always the highest.
At this moment, Yan Feng, who was in the lead, stopped and said, "Since Senior Uncle Han Chen personally identified that Senior Brother Xiao Xuan has a spiritual root, then we can naturally trust it, so let's ask Senior Brother Xiao Xuan to go through this second test with the fellow disciples who have passed the first test." ”
Yan Feng pointed to the Qianzhang Waterfall in front of the mountain gate and said to the crowd behind him: "You have a spiritual root, it doesn't mean that you have truly become the true disciples of my Sword Cloud Sect, you can only be regarded as truly stepping into the sect after passing this second test, all you have to do is to stand under this Qianzhang Waterfall and accept the impact of the torrent, there are a total of five hundred people in this assessment, only the last three hundred who persist in front of the waterfall can worship the sect......"
"As for the first 200 people who can't withstand the impact of this current and quit, they will not be admitted. ”
"Remember, this second assessment will determine your status within the sect after you enter the sect, the top 300 can become outer disciples, the top 100 can become inner disciples, and the top 10 can become personal disciples. ”
"If a person who is knocked down by a waterfall in the middle of the course fails to regain his or her feet under the waterfall within two breaths of time, it will be considered the final result, everyone, please ......."
This waterfall is high into the clouds, and there is no end in sight, as if it has fallen from the sky, which is extremely weird, but the young people know that they have come to the Immortal Cave Mansion, and they are not too surprised by this.
Hearing the way of the test, everyone also had a slight bottom in their hearts, and when Yan Feng's order began, they suddenly screamed and rushed up frantically.
Xiao Xuan didn't move, and asked Han Chen: "Dare to ask Master, what kind of realm did my father reach when he was at the peak of his life?"
Han Chen was slightly stunned, and replied truthfully, "Xiao Han Daoyou cultivated at the age of fourteen, entered the realm of qi cultivation, successfully built the foundation at the age of eighteen, and condensed the golden pill at the age of forty, and was a Jindan monk......
Xiao Xuan gasped, you must know that the Jindan monk is also a top-level existence in the Sword Cloud Sect, and he is not the same as the Qi cultivation monk and the foundation building monk, and his master Han Chen has stayed in the foundation building realm for many years and has not been able to take that crucial step, which can be seen from the general.
"Ancestor and Jindan, Xiao Xuan will definitely not lose his old man's name, this test, the apprentice must do his best, not for anything else, just for the ancestor and the master to fight for a breath......" Xiao Xuan said, resolutely turned around, and walked under the Qianzhang Waterfall.
Looking at Xiao Xuan's thin and resolute back, Han Chen couldn't help but look up to the sky and sighed, "Xiao Han Daoyou, you have a good son, and the poor Dao also has a good apprentice......
Although Xiao Xuan was a monk, he was born with a weak physique, and after entering the waterfall, his body suddenly seemed to be strengthened by dozens of catties, and his originally easy steps suddenly became difficult.
Generally speaking, when a thousand zhang torrent rushes down, the disciples who are tested will inevitably be instantly swept away more than ten zhang away, but this situation has never occurred, and this waterfall is strange......
Whew, whew!
Taking a big breath, although the waterfall was clear, Xiao Xuan felt that his internal organs were full of hot and spicy taste, and dense beads of sweat rolled down.
At this time, Xiao Xuan felt that the strength of dozens of catties pressed on his body had unconsciously increased to a hundred catties, and he couldn't stand the heavy pressure, and he was directly crushed to the ground.
The corners of Yan Feng's mouth, who was standing on the side, were raised, and the ridicule on his face was even worse, "It's only been a cup of tea for less than a time, and you can't hold on, your qualifications are really mediocre......
Xiao Xuan endured the heavy pressure on his body, "There is only two breaths of time, if you can't stand up again, you'll be out, and you can't just give up." ”
A hysterical voice roared from the depths of Xiao Xuan's heart, and the next moment, Xiao Xuan supported his body with one hand and actually stood up again, making Yan Feng, who was about to announce Xiao Xuan's out, stunned.
