In the east of Central China, in the south of the glacier North Pole, there is a magnificent "Wuling Mountain" that is as high as a thousand feet. Where is the fastest update of the novel?Please look for Aishang Novel Network biquge.info which is close to the endless East China Sea, with beautiful scenery and pleasant climate. Although this mountain is not the tallest in the vast land of Shenzhou, let alone the most spectacular, it is definitely the most memorable.
"The spring mountains are light and smiling, the summer mountains are green and dripping, the autumn mountains are clear and clean like makeup, and the winter mountains are bleak and sleepy. This is Yun Youzi's description of Wuling Mountain in "Mountains and Seas - Mountains and Seas". "The rivers are boiling, and the mounds are broken. The high valley is the shore, and the deep valley is the mausoleum. It is the description of Wuling Mountain in the famous book "Leisurely Travel" in the world. The scenery of Wuling Mountain is beautiful and magnificent, which can be glimpsed from these poems.
Xu Qingfan has longed for the scenery of Wuling Mountain from various books a long time ago, but he has never had the opportunity to see it.
Two years ago, when I was traveling down the mountain, I didn't come here because of time constraints. And this newcomer competition, it just allowed Xu Qingfan to fulfill his long-cherished wish.
In the mortal world, there is a legend that the top of Wuling Mountain is the residence of the legendary immortals, and only the immortals can live in such a magnificent and mysterious mountain. And as long as someone can climb to the top of Wuling Mountain, they can be accepted as a disciple by the immortals. It's a pity that for thousands of years, no mortal has ever been able to climb to the top of Wuling Mountain, although the mountain of Wuling Mountain is not very steep.
For tens of thousands of years, there have been countless mortals in the mortal world, each with strange skills, strong bodies, and ambitious vows to climb to the top of Wuling Mountain to get a glimpse of Wuling Mountain, or be accepted as disciples by the gods. But without exception, they lost their way as soon as they reached the mountainside, and finally returned to the bottom of the mountain for some reason. Therefore, the fact that there are immortals on the top of Wuling Mountain is even more believed by the people of the mortal world.
Thousands of years ago, the king of a powerful kingdom vowed to go to the top of Wuling Mountain to see the legendary gods with his own eyes, so he recruited countless people from China to come to the foot of Wuling Mountain and open a mountain for him. But I didn't expect that the rocks of Wuling Mountain were extremely hard. It took ten years of work and countless manpower and financial resources to open up only dozens of miles of mountain roads. And it is precisely because of the opening of the mountain road that the king's royal people are not happy, the national strength is greatly weakened, and finally it is destroyed by the neighboring countries, and no one will mention the opening of the mountain road for Wuling Mountain since then.
In fact, there are no immortal cultivators living here on the top of Wuling Mountain, but there are confinements and formations set up by immortal cultivators, and mortals naturally cannot step into it.
The top of Wuling Mountain. It is a basin-shaped flat land that covers an area of about 10 inclinations, because it is a basin on the top of a mountain. Therefore, although the altitude is thousands of feet, the four seasons are like spring, and the climate is mild, and there is no such thing as the cold wind of 10,000 years of snow and cold wind on other mountain tops. And this basin is called "Zhantai" by immortal cultivators.
In order to ensure the fairness of the newcomer competition, the six holy places set up the newcomer competition in Zhantai, which is held every Jiazi year. The newcomer contest claims to be to urge the newcomers in the immortal cultivation world to progress and deepen the feelings of each faction, but in fact, each faction hopes to spy on the strength of the other factions through the newcomer contest every Jiazi year.
Although Zhan Tai has been the venue for newcomer competitions since the establishment of the Six Holy Lands, for the immortal cultivation world, Zhan Tai's significance is far more than that.
Tens of thousands of years ago. There are various powerful races in the vast land of Shenzhou, and the human race is only the most inconspicuous one, and it is oppressed. At that time, all the powerful people in the human race, for the survival of the human race, gathered in Zhan Taizhong to discuss how to expel other races and make the human race strong.
Ten thousand years ago, demon cultivators were rampant in the vast land of China. Immortal cultivators and mortals were killed and injured countless times. The immortal cultivators who couldn't bear it also held an immortal cultivator conference in Zhantai, vowing to exterminate the demon cultivators.
Four thousand years ago, the Demon Lord was born, causing a catastrophe in the immortal cultivation world. The six holy places united with the various sects to discuss countermeasures. The location is also Zhantai.
Therefore, Zhan Tai is not only the venue for the newcomer competition in the immortal cultivation world every Jiazi year. It is the first place that immortal cultivators think of when the immortal cultivation world encounters a catastrophe, and it is a fixed place for the various sects in the immortal cultivation world to hold meetings when discussing major events, and in a way, it is a symbol of the immortal cultivation realm.
It is precisely because of the great significance of Zhan Tai that although the land of Zhan Tai is full of spiritual energy and there are many strange beasts and spirit grasses, no sect has ever dared to take Zhan Tai for itself in the face of the world's disapproval.
Thinking silently about the various materials of Wuling Mountain and Zhan Tai in his mind, Xu Qingfan couldn't wait to get a glimpse of them.
Wuling Mountain is about 69,000 miles away from Jiuhua Mountain, but the white clouds that Xu Qingfan stepped on at this time were the joint efforts of several elders of Jiuhua Gate. Although Xu Qingfan and other hundreds of Jiuhua disciples were carrying at this time, the speed was still far above Xu Qingfan's earth magic weapon "Wanli Cloud". So in less than three days, the mountain scenery of Wuling Mountain has appeared far away in front of Xu Qingfan's eyes.
I saw that on the eastern edge of the bustling Middle-earth, countless mountain peaks, large and small, stood tall, and the mountain waves were high and waved, layer upon layer. Among the peaks and peaks, a majestic mountain stands majestically and towers in the sky. The mountain is high and steep, but it is not devoid of elegance and beauty, which makes people unforgettable, and it is the famous Wuling Mountain in the vast land of Shenzhou.
Looking at the mountain scenery of Wuling Mountain from afar, when Xu Qingfan just sighed "The ancients are honest and do not deceive me", the mountain scenery in front of him has quickly approached, and in an instant, the white clouds under his feet have carried everyone to the mountainside of Wuling Mountain. Looking at Wuling Mountain closely, the mountain is even more handsome. But before Xu Qingfan and the others had time to take a closer look, several elders of Jiuhuamen had already ordered the white clouds under everyone's feet to quickly rise towards the top of the mountain.
When the white clouds carried everyone up more than 100 zhang, the light suddenly flashed on everyone's heads, and the fairy light shone, and the white clouds around Wuling Mountain slowly cracked a gap, so that everyone in Jiuhua Mountain could continue to rise.
During the rise, after this scene appeared three times, the top of Wuling Mountain finally appeared in front of the eyes of everyone in Jiuhua Mountain.
I saw that the top of Wuling Mountain is a basin covering an area of dozens of inclinations, the basin is lined with ancient trees, many strange flowers and plants, and the aura is abundant, just like a paradise scene.
In the basin, a jade platform several zhang high stands in the southernmost part of the basin, and there are hundreds of imposing immortal cultivators sitting majestically on it, either with white hair, or with a majestic complexion, or with a Taoist bone fairy wind. But no matter what the image is, it is the aura of the eyes, and the aura fluctuations on the body are faint but extremely powerful. Obviously, they are all the heads and elders of the various sects who came to participate in this newcomer competition.
Under the high platform, four or five thousand immortal cultivators stood quietly, compared to the immortal cultivators on the high platform. These immortal cultivators are much younger, and their strength is much lower, from the Spiritual Silence Period to the Qi Refining Period.
Looking at so many powerful immortal cultivators in front of him, Xu Qingfan couldn't help but sigh a little in his heart. Xu Qingfan had never seen so many immortal cultivators gathered together before, not to mention that the strength of these immortal cultivators was not weak.
These immortal cultivators are expected to be the elites of the immortal cultivation world in the next hundred years, although they have different temperaments, they all contain strong self-confidence, and they are obviously often proud of their talents and strength in ordinary times.
But among the four or five thousand elites of the younger generation of immortal cultivators, how many of them could reach the stage of attaining the Dan Dynasty? Xu Qingfan suddenly thought.
I think it was four or five hundred years ago. People like Zhang Hualing and Zhou Huahai, as well as those elders on the high platform, are probably also standing quietly under the high platform. Waiting for the newcomer Dabi to begin? At that time, they were surrounded by thousands of senior brothers of equal strength, but now how many of them can step into the land of the Jiedan? Just look at the two or three hundred great masters of the Yudan-stage on the high platform.
Just as Xu Qingfan sighed, the white clouds under his feet did not stop, and slowly drifted towards the high platform. At the same time, the hundreds of great masters on the high platform also stood up one after another, and Yuyun greeted the people of Jiuhua.
"I'm ashamed, I think my Jiuhua Mountain is the closest to Wuling Mountain, but I didn't expect it to come at the latest, I'm really ashamed of you. When he was about to approach the great masters of the Dan Period, Zhang Hualing suddenly said with a smile.
"Master Zhang is polite. We've only been here for a short time.
What's more, there is still more than a moment before the time limit, Master Zhang, you are not late, but we are early. A middle-aged man with a rich face replied with a smile.
Along the way, Bao Qingfang, the number one master in the middle of the Jiuhuamen's "Qing" generation, had already introduced the characteristics of the heads of the various factions and the more famous elders who were going to come to participate in the newcomer competition to Xu Qingfan and the others, because Xu Qingfan saw this person now, looked at it slightly, and knew that he was Zeng Lianxian, the head of the "Five Elements Sect" in the six holy lands.
A total of seven people were ushered in first. Among them, the emaciated old man with a face full of misery. The barefoot Mai is the Venerable Xuan Jian, the representative of the Ascetic Valley; the old woman with a cold face in white next to him is Li Tianying, the master of the "palace" in the six holy places; as for the bald old man in a gray robe with a harmonious face, he should be the head of the "Qingxu Gate"; and the white-eyed old monk on the far left, who is full of solemnity, is the abbot of the "Zenyun Temple", Master Xuhuan.
Except for the heads of the six holy places. There were also two people who also attracted Xu Qingfan's attention. One was extremely tall and ragged. With a cloak and a golden ring on his limbs, he should be the main hall master of the Eight Desolations Palace, and another white-haired Taoist wearing gossip clothes should be the head of the "** Gate".
And the "Eight Desolation Palace" and the "** Gate" are second only to the six holy places in terms of strength and prestige in the immortal cultivation world, and they have always had a snooping heart for the status of the holy land of Jiuhuamen. In every newcomer competition, the results of these two schools are also the closest to Jiuhuamen, and even a few times they are still above Jiuhuamen. Xu Qingfan often listened to Zhao Qingxuan, and every time he went out and met the disciples of these two sects, the words of these two disciples were often arrogant and rude, and they obviously did not take Jiuhuamen seriously.
Among them, the "Eight Desolation Palace" is a greater threat to Jiuhuamen. It is said that the eight hall masters of the Eight Desolation Hall each have the cultivation of the late stage of Jindan, and there are many disciples under them, and the Taoism is treacherous, and they are good at using physical skills and envoys, demons, insects, and beasts, and their strength is extremely strong. Moreover, because the Eight Desolation Hall was established late, it did not occupy those spiritual mountain treasures with sufficient spiritual energy in the vast land of Shenzhou, and in desperation, he could only find eight remote places with the most sufficient spiritual energy, and established the palace to live in it. Because these eight halls are located in remote places and the surrounding environment is barren, they call themselves "Eight Desolation Palaces".
But it is also because the aura where the Eight Desolation Hall is located is relatively thin, and although this sect is unique in the world of cultivating immortals in terms of physical skills and envoys, demons, insects, and beasts, in general, the exercises are still not as subtle and profound as the six holy places, and the sect has less savings due to the short time it took to establish the sect, so it is the most peeky of the Jiuhua Mountain, which is rich in spiritual energy in Jiuhua Gate, the savings of thousands of years of sects, and the Xuangong methods in the door.
At this time, Xu Qingfan looked at the hall master of the "Eight Desolation Palace", his face was honest, he was looking at Zhang Hualing nodding and smiling, his eyes were kind, and he didn't seem to have the slightest malice. But Xu Qingfan also knows. Any person who can cultivate to the Jindan stage immortal cultivator is a person of great intelligence, and this barbarian is the same, his true character will never be as honest as his appearance. It's as if his opinion of Jiuhuamen won't be as kind as his expression.
Compared with the "Eight Desolation Palace", although the threat of "** Gate" to Jiuhua Mountain is smaller, it is by no means easy to match. The establishment of the "** Gate" has not been under the six holy places for a long time, and it is good at formations, spells and seals, and the exercises of this sect are even more mysterious, which can lightly attract the power of wind, rain, thunder and lightning between heaven and earth. Because the low-level disciples of this sect travel in the mortal world all year round, occasionally exorcizing demons for mortals. Shi Yun Buyu, so the prestige in the mortal world is extremely high, and all kinds of fairy legends in the mortal world. I'm afraid half of it was made by the pie.
It is precisely because the sect has a very high reputation in the mortal world, so countless talented people in the mortal world have worshiped under the "** Gate" door, so the ** Gate immortal cultivators are also the highest among the various sects in the world of cultivating immortals. The reason why the "** Gate" has such strength is not one of the six holy places or the seventh holy land is because the sect's immortal cultivation method has some kind of defect, so that the speed of cultivating immortals after the disciples of the sect reach the Dan period becomes extremely slow, so there are only four or five masters in the Jindan period of the sect, and there is no master in the Mahayana period.
Therefore, although the ambition of the "** Gate" to annex Jiuhua Gate is not as strong as that of the "Eight Desolation Palace", if they are given the opportunity to obtain all kinds of mysterious exercises in Jiuhua Gate, and confirm each other with their own exercises, they must definitely not miss it. Not to mention. **The people of the sect have always been paranoid about the title of "holy land", so Jiuhuamen will never dare to take this sect lightly.
At this time, the head of the ** door, Jiu Zedao, had a calm face, no joy and no worries in his eyes, no trace of emotion fluctuations, and only nodded slightly at Zhang Hualing, so that people couldn't see what he was thinking in his heart.
In addition, Xu Qing
Among the many great masters of the Dan Period, they saw Bao Wei, Xuan Xian, and Xuan Xiu, and they obviously also saw Xu Qingfan. They all nodded slightly to each other.
When Zhang Hualing, Zhou Huahai and the others finished greeting the heads and elders of the various factions that ushered in them, dozens of white clouds branched out under their feet, carrying the elders of the Jiuhuamen and the heads and elders of other factions to fly towards the white jade platform. And the huge white clouds under the feet of Xu Qingfan and the others carried everyone slowly towards the direction where the thousands of disciples of various factions were standing under the jade high platform.
After coming to the white jade platform, the huge white cloud first carried everyone to the ground slowly. Then it dissolves into nothingness. And Xu Qingfan felt down-to-earth after feeling down-to-earth. On the contrary, his mood couldn't help but tighten, because he knew. I am about to represent Jiuhuamen to participate in the newcomer competition between the various sects.
Along the way, Xu Qingfan and the other four disciples who participated in the newcomer Dabi also talked a lot, Jin Qinghan is Xu Qingfan's best friend for many years, and whether it is Lu Qingshang or Wang Qingjun, they are very kind to Xu Qingfan, although Lu Qingshang's expression is somewhat lost, and Wang Qingjun is as silent as ever. As for Feng Qingtian, he was as arrogant as ever, and Xu Qingfan would only reply to him after saying two or three sentences to him. But no matter what, the situation that Xu Qingfan was worried about at the beginning did not appear.
But because of this, Xu Qingfan was under more pressure in this newcomer competition, because he knew that if Jiuhuamen still didn't have any good results under his leadership this time, he would have no reason to find it.
After landing, Xu Qingfan first looked at the high platform and found that Zhang Hualing and other people in the Jiuhua Gate had already sat down, among which Zhang Hualing sat on the six chairs that were slightly larger at the front, and the heads of the other five holy lands were sitting with him.
Behind these six seats, there were more than twenty smaller ones, and the Barbarian Heaven and the Nine Daoists were all seated in them, in addition to more than twenty immortal cultivators with different temperaments, which were obviously set up for the heads of other sects except for the six holy lands.
The rest of the Jiuhuamen elders, including Zhou Huahai, sat in the last seat one after another, and there were as many as two or three hundred people sitting with them, obviously all of them were elders of various sects.
Just when Xu Qingfan looked at the great masters of the Yudan stage on the high platform, he suddenly felt more than a dozen fierce eyes looking at him, most of them were provocative, and he couldn't help frowning slightly, but he knew that this was not the time to show weakness, so he also looked back calmly.
Looking at those who looked at him with his eyes, Xu Qingfan found that these people all had at least the cultivation of the late stage of Bigu, and even most of them had the cultivation of the Spiritual Silence Period, and their expressions were proud, and they were probably the best among the middle and low-level disciples of the various sects.
And the biggest thing these people have in common is that the robes on their bodies all have three purple marks on them without exception, and they are obviously the leaders of the disciples of the various factions who participated in the newcomer competition this time.
Looking at the three slender but conspicuous purple marks on his robe, Xu Qingfan couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart, obviously these people regarded themselves as fierce enemies.
Among the leaders of these factions who participated in the newcomer competition, a few people particularly attracted Xu Qingfan's attention.
The first is a middle-aged man with a vicissitudes of life and kind eyes, and he is one of the few who does not look at him with provocation. And beside him, Xu Qingfan also found Lu Ziqing, Shang Nian, Xu Xiurong and other disciples of Qingxumen, who were obviously the leaders of Qingxumen who participated in the newcomer competition this time. What surprised Xu Qingfan was that with the strength of Lu Ziqing and Shang Nianyao, they were not the leaders of Qingxumen who participated in the newcomer competition this time, and the strength of Qingxumen can be seen.
Seeing that he had met an acquaintance, Xu Qingfan smiled and nodded to Lu Ziqing and the others, and Lu Ziqing and Shang Nianyao also nodded in response to Xu Qingfan. And Xu Xiurong, when he saw Xu Qingfan's eyes seeing him, his cheeks couldn't help but blush slightly, and he lowered his head.
Seeing Xu Xiurong's appearance, Xu Qingfan couldn't help but smile, he didn't expect that after nearly three years, Xu Xiurong was still so shy.
But what attracted Xu Qingfan's attention even more were several other people.
First of all, it was a young man in a Taoist robe, with a proud face, and a cultivation in the middle stage of spiritual silence. More than a dozen immortal cultivators wearing Taoist robes surrounded him in the middle like stars and moons. Obviously, it is the monk of the "** Gate" who came to participate in this newcomer competition.
Then there was a girl in white with a cold expression, who was looking at herself coldly at this time, without the slightest concern for the gaze she looked back. Although he looks ordinary, he has a lonely and self-appreciating temperament. And her side is also full of women, obviously a disciple of the "palace".
On the other hand, there are five middle-aged people who look very similar, wearing gold, red, blue, yellow, and blue clothes, representing the five elements of heaven and earth, and are obviously disciples of the Five Elements Sect. It's just that these five people look so similar that Xu Qingfan wonders if they are brothers.
But what caught Xu Qingfan's attention the most was a person with a child's body and appearance. But this person's eyes have a cold indifference that is not commensurate with his appearance, his body and face look a little dirty, his clothes are shabby, and he wears gold rings on his limbs. Looking at the costume, he should be a disciple of the "Eight Desolation Palace", and he was also standing in the crowd of the Eight Desolation Hall at this time. But what was strange was that the disciples of the "Eight Desolation Palace" were far away from him, as if they were very afraid of this child-like person. And Xu Qingfan also felt a stronger sense of threat from this child than Feng Qingtian.
"Knock~~~"
Just as Xu Qingfan and the leaders of the disciples of the various factions participating in the newcomer competition looked at each other, a clear bell suddenly rang. At the sound of the bell, Xuan Jian of the Ascetic Valley stood up from his seat and slowly floated into the air.
Because of the particularity of the sect of Ascetic Cultivation Valley, even the people with the lowest cultivation in the sect have been cultivating in the immortal cultivation world for many years, and their strength is much stronger than the disciples of other sects who have been in the sect for less than a hundred years. Therefore, the Ascetic Valley has always not sent people to participate in the newcomer competition, but generally saves as a referee.
After Xuan Jian flew to the place of three zhang on the jade platform, he first glanced at the disciples of various sects on the ground, and then said slowly: "The newcomer competition is about to start, and now I will announce the content of this competition to all fellow Daoists." ”
