Gu Sheng and the others did not hesitate and flew directly towards the main peak in the northwest corner according to the instructions on the map.

During the flight, Gu Sheng and Ji Ziyue could clearly feel the disdainful looks from other new disciples.

Soon, they reached the main peak in the northwest corner.

The scenery here is completely different from other main peaks.

I saw that this mountain peak was unremarkable, and even the trees were a little undernourished.

It is said to be a mountain peak, but it is actually just a relatively large pile of rocks.

Gu Sheng and Ji Ziyue landed in front of the mountain gate of the main peak, and saw a white-haired old man sitting there.

Ji Ziyue stood there and secretly admired: "This old man's Zen has entered a state of perfection."

"What? Ku Chan?"

Gu Sheng frowned slightly.

"Let's go over and have a look."

After saying that, Gu Sheng took Ji Ziyue and walked towards the old man.

"Are you the new disciples?"

After the two people got close, the old man opened his eyes, his eyes like lightning.

After saying that, he closed his eyes again.

"Exactly."

Gu Sheng replied respectfully.

"This is the main peak with the lowest spiritual energy among the ninety-nine main peaks. If you want to learn some skills, go to other main peaks."

The old man closed his eyes and said.

"Swish swish!"

Suddenly, several rainbow lights flashed.

I saw a few other disciples of Taixuan Sect coming here with a few cultivators who had just entered the gateway stone.

"Meet Master Li."

One of the Tai Xuan Sect disciples bowed and cupped his hands into fists.

Only then did Gu Sheng know that this old man was an elder from Taixuan Sect, and his surname was Li.

Master Li did not open his eyes in a hurry, as if he could sense the situation outside.

His shoulders dropped slightly, and after sighing, he said, "The sun is coming out from the west today? Why are there so many people?"

"Hehe... Master Li, don't get me wrong. We just saw two cultivators who have just passed the gateway stone coming here, so we want to see what kind of intelligence these two people have, and they actually want to come to Zhuofeng to practice."

One of the entry-level disciples said in a joking tone and looked at Gu Sheng and Ji Ziyue proudly.

Clumsy peak?

Awkward peak?

Could it be that the main peak is also divided into stupid and smart?

Moreover, this introductory disciple of Taixuan Sect was obviously making fun of Master Li.

If it was Gu Sheng's temperament, he would have been slapped out of his humiliation long ago.

But now Master Li is calm and composed, as if he didn't hear the murderous ridicule.

"call……"

Master Li took a deep breath and opened his eyes again to look at Gu Sheng and Ji Ziyue.

"You two, this Clumsy Peak has been in decline for hundreds of years. It is of low quality and is not suitable for cultivation. You should move to other main peaks."

Master Li opened his mouth and spoke kindly.

"No."

Gu Sheng smiled and shook his head: "Senior... No, Master Li, I just like this place. Please let me and my companions stay. We hope to pass your test."

When several other Taixuanmen disciples heard Gu Sheng's words, their ridicules were like sharp blades, cutting through the tranquility of Zhuofeng.

One of the disciples sneered and mocked: "You have a beautiful idea, no one wants to come to this humble peak. Even if you test, it will be a useless test. You are just going through the motions."

"Haha, that's right, hypocritical!"

Another disciple echoed, his laughter full of contempt and disdain.

When Ji Ziyue heard these harsh ridicules, she felt a surge of anger in her heart.

"What are you talking about!"

Ji Ziyue clenched her hands into fists, and a cold light flashed in her eyes, wanting to step forward and teach these rude disciples a lesson.

However, Gu Sheng gently held her hand and signaled with his eyes that he shouldn't be angry.

Master Li looked at the two of them and saw in their eyes that there was no flinching, only trust in each other and desire for the future.

Master Li was also moved by this kind of determination and sincerity.

He sighed softly and spoke slowly: "Since you have made up your mind, I will give you this opportunity."

"Nine-story Mysterious Tower."

Master Li said and waved his hand.

Not far from a few people, I saw a tower several meters high rising from the ground.

The few entry-level disciples were stunned when they saw the nine-story mysterious pagoda, and a trace of surprise and uneasiness flashed in their eyes.

The Nine-story Mysterious Pagoda is a legendary existence in Taixuan Sect. It not only tests the physical strength and endurance of cultivators, but also tests their understanding and character.

In the history of Taixuan Sect, there are only a handful of cultivators who have successfully climbed to the top of the tower, and each of them is a leader in the sect.

Gu Sheng and Ji Ziyue looked at each other, without a trace of fear in their eyes.

For them, this test is a test of their abilities.

"This..." How is this possible? "

One of the entry-level disciples stuttered in excitement.

"Yes, the Nine-story Mysterious Pagoda is a place that only cultivators with extremely high understanding can set foot on. How could they... how could they do it?"

Another disciple also whispered.

Master Li looked at these disciples and said calmly: "In Taixuan Sect, nothing is impossible. As long as you have determination and perseverance, one day you will be able to set foot on the Nine-story Mysterious Pagoda."

Gu Sheng and Ji Ziyue ignored the sounds around them and stood quietly in front of the nine-story mysterious tower.

After a brief observation, Ji Ziyue stepped forward and said, "I'll do it!"

"Don't overestimate your abilities, just wait, she will become a meat pie in no time."

"Well, newborn calves are not afraid of tigers."

The two entry-level disciples said somewhat proudly.

Then, Ji Ziyue stepped forward and suddenly summoned her divine power.

In an instant, Ji Ziyue lifted her feet off the ground and jumped onto the first floor of the nine-story mysterious tower.

"It's nothing..."

Ji Ziyue said speechlessly.

Then, Ji Ziyue used her strength again and prepared to jump to the second level.

When Ji Ziyue was about to jump to the second floor, an invisible pressure instantly came from above her head.

The intensity of the pressure suggested an invisible hand was trying to push her back to the ground.

Ji Ziyue suddenly summoned her magical power and gritted her teeth.

In an instant, the divine power in his body flowed, and he withstood the pressure and landed lightly on the second floor.

"Hold on!"

Gu Sheng stood aside and cheered for Ji Ziyue.

"It's nothing..."

Ji Ziyue said in a relaxed tone.

But Gu Sheng noticed that her forehead was sweating slightly.

Obviously, this pressure is not as simple as she said.

As she prepared to jump to the third floor, the pressure suddenly increased.

This layer seemed to carry a heavy mountain on her back, making every step she took extremely difficult.

The people at the bottom of the tower also felt this pressure. Their faces turned pale, and some even felt chest tightness and almost vomited blood.

Gu Sheng also secretly activated the power of the green copper block in his body to be able to withstand these pressures.

"Kakaka..."

Ji Ziyue's figure shuttled between the floors of the tower, and every time she landed, there was a dull sound.

That voice was proof of her struggle against the pressure of Xuanta.

Layer after layer, Ji Ziyue's figure became faster and faster.

When she soared to the ninth floor, the entire nine-story tower shook slightly, as if applauding her feat.

"Whoosh!"

But at the moment when they reached the top, a dazzling golden light suddenly shot down from the sky, pointing directly at the top of the tower.

Ji Ziyue was bathed in this golden light, and her figure looked even more sacred and inviolable.

"call……"

Ji Ziyue took a deep breath, bathed in the golden light, then flew down and landed lightly in front of Master Li and everyone.

Master Li looked at Ji Ziyue, his eyes full of shock and appreciation.

He didn't expect that this seemingly weak woman would have such amazing potential and perseverance.

The other entry-level disciples were already so shocked by this pressure that they almost vomited blood.

"You did it, Ziyue."

Gu Sheng stepped forward excitedly and said.

There was a hint of trembling in Master Li's voice, "From today on, Zhuofeng will be your place of cultivation."

Ji Ziyue smiled slightly, "Thank you, senior, for helping me, but I hope I can bring my friends to practice together."

"no problem."

Uncle Li Ruoyu replied directly.

"Very good."

Ji Ziyue shouted excitedly.

"Swish swish!"

As soon as Ji Ziyue finished speaking, several rainbow lights suddenly flashed around everyone.

The light dissipated, and dozens of old men with white hair and young faces in Taoist robes were seen approaching the crowd.

After they saw Li Ruoyu, they all made a fist salute.

"Senior Brother Li."

"Junior brothers, you are exempt from the gift."

Li Ruoyu raised his hand slightly.

At this time, one of the old men looked to the side and wiped the blood flowing out of the seven orifices, frowned slightly and said, "Why are you guys here?"

"Master, we were passing by Zhuofeng and came over to take a look. Unexpectedly, we were pressed by such strong pressure that all the orifices bleeded."

One of the disciples replied.

"snort!"

The old man snorted coldly and said with a look of disgust: "I just activated the Xuantian Pendant. It's a good thing that I didn't crush you to death. I still don't thank you, Master Li, for showing mercy."

"ah?"

These disciples, some with nosebleeds and some bleeding from their eyes, were immediately stunned.

"Thank you, Master Li, for your teaching."

"No no no!"

Li Ruoyu waved his hands to everyone, and then explained to the elders: "Juniors have misunderstood. It was not me who activated the Xuantian Pendant, but this disciple who was testing it."

Everyone turned their attention to Ji Ziyue.

"Is it him? Is he so powerful?"

One of the elders blurted out.

While he was talking, the elders gathered around him one after another, their eyes full of admiration and curiosity for Ji Ziyue.

One of the white-haired elders stroked his beard and smiled, and said to Ji Ziyue: "Little girl, the power you just showed is really amazing, especially the golden light, which is the aura of Taixuan Sect. It is rare to see in a hundred years, and only innate people can do it." Only the strong can inspire.”

"Ah? So powerful?"

Ji Ziyue's heart moved, and she suddenly became more curious about the origin of the spiritual light, so she continued to ask: "Elder, may I ask what this spiritual light is? Why can I inspire it?"

"Aura is the extremely pure energy between heaven and earth, which can nourish the body and refine the soul."

Another elder came forward with a hint of envy in his tone.

After hearing this, Ji Ziyue was extremely excited.

"Little girl, you have shown such potential. Our Taixuan Sect naturally wants to give you the best training environment, so we decided to let you go to the best spiritual peak in Taixuan Sect to practice. The spiritual energy there is rich and will be beneficial to your growth. Very helpful.”

One of the elders said with a smile.

"Lingfeng?"

Ji Ziyue was grateful, knowing that this was a rare opportunity.

But at this time, she looked at Gu Sheng with a look of expectation in her eyes: "I wonder if he can go to Yunxiao Peak with me?"

"he?"

One of the elders looked at Gu Sheng.

He just glanced at Gu Sheng and said with disdain: "This boy has a low luck and insufficient cultivation. It is better for him to stay in Zhuofeng."

"Uh..."

Gu Sheng looked at the old man with disdain.

If he hadn't sealed the power in the bitter sea, he would have slapped himself at this time.

"No, I want to go with him."

Ji Ziyue was a little unhappy.

"Little girl, listen to me, if you join Zhuofeng, you can't join other main peaks. Your qualifications are really a waste of talent in Zhuofeng."

"That's right, go to Lingfeng."

"Lingfeng has all the resources you want, which is much better than here."

Several elders seemed to be doing advertising and promotion. If Li Ruoyu hadn't been there, they would have dragged Ji Ziyue to the main peak.

Seeing that Ji Ziyue was a little embarrassed, Gu Sheng winked at Ji Ziyue and signaled her to go to Lingfeng.

Ji Ziyue understood instantly.

Because she knew that the purpose of their coming to Taixuanmen was to find secret techniques.

If they could enter the Spirit Peak, the search range would be expanded.

Ji Ziyue thought for a moment, then nodded and agreed: "Okay, I'll go."

Then, Ji Ziyue and the elders and disciples of the Spirit Peak flew away on the divine rainbow.

Soon, only Gu Sheng and Li Ruoyu were left on Zhuofeng.

The contrast between the bustle just now and the desolation now was really sad.

However, this seemed more like the environment that Gu Sheng and Li Ruoyu liked.

Li Ruoyu saw Gu Sheng looking at the distant divine rainbow with a trace of envy in his eyes, and whispered: "Although Zhuofeng is not as good as other spiritual peaks now, it was once one of the holy places of our Taixuanmen."

As he said, Li Ruoyu led Gu Sheng to the front.

"Five hundred years ago, the spiritual energy here was abundant, not inferior to Lingfeng at all."

Gu Sheng turned his head to look at Li Ruoyu, and asked curiously: "Why is it like this now?"

Li Ruoyu took Gu Sheng to stroll on Zhuofeng, and explained as he walked: "Five hundred years ago, there was a great cultivator on Zhuofeng, with extremely deep cultivation and superior understanding. He was the best of Taixuanmen at that time. He suddenly realized the secret of heaven, but did not pass on his understanding to the world. He only left four words-'the great way is simple'."

When Gu Sheng heard this, his heart moved, and he seemed to have some understanding.

"The great way is simple, what does this mean?"

Li Ruoyu smiled slightly, pointed to the surrounding rocks and trees, and said: "Look at these natural things, it is simple and pure, but it contains the true meaning of life, because the way of cultivation is simple, pure, and original."

"Yeah."

Gu Sheng nodded thoughtfully.

Although the spiritual energy here is no longer there, it has a unique charm and profound meaning.

Li Ruoyu continued to take Gu Sheng to familiarize himself with the environment on Zhuofeng.

They walked through the areas that were once holy places for cultivation, feeling the former glory. (End of this chapter)
