This was the route out of the Innate Yin Sha Great Formation.
Gu Changsheng calmly stepped forward.
With an air of detachment, he soon stepped out of the Innate Yin Sha Great Formation.
Gu Changsheng let out a long breath, and his tense mood gradually eased.
He had succeeded?
Unable to hide his delight, Gu Changsheng hurriedly used a minor technique to leave.
Gu Changsheng hurried for a hundred li before finally stopping.
The Great Desolation was vast. Gu Changsheng found a secluded place and took a sip from the Spiritual Spring.
Who knew how long the journey to Kunlun would take.
But the Great Desolation was immense, with dangers lurking everywhere.
If he did not go to Kunlun to seek a master, then as a mere human, he might be casually killed at any time.
Worse still, he might become food for the demon race.
That was not what he wanted.
"Now that the Three Pure Ones have founded their sects and become Saints, Primordial beings will all go to seek them as masters."
"Among the Three Pure Saints, Saint Yuanshi is the most protective of his disciples. If I can successfully become his disciple, it will be like gaining a protective talisman."
As Gu Changsheng pondered this, he decided to take Yuanshi as his master.
"The journey to Kunlun will likely be quite dangerous. Fortunately, I have the Primordial System. At critical moments, it can still save my life."
Gu Changsheng sat cross-legged and absorbed Innate Spiritual Qi.
Looking up, beneath the Sky Dome, many Primordial beings flew on artifacts or rode the clouds.
They were all part of the great throng heading to Kunlun to seek a master.
After giving it some thought, Gu Changsheng had the Primordial System plan the shortest route to Kunlun Mountain for him.
Ding. It has been detected that the host requires a travel route map. Calculating a route for the host.
Ding. Calculating... 30... 60...
Ding. Route successfully planned for the host!
Before Gu Changsheng's eyes, a shortcut leading to Kunlun suddenly appeared.
The Three Pure Ones Accept Disciples! Taking Yuanshi as Master!
With the shortcut, Gu Changsheng used Human Magic and headed toward Kunlun Mountain.
Kunlun was vast, shrouded in immortal mist.
The dome of Kunlun was enveloped in Auspicious Clouds and Purple Qi. A vast pressure seemed to descend slowly from above.
Though this place was still tens of thousands of li from Kunlun, that pressure made Gu Changsheng's heart pound wildly and his body tremble.
"Mighty Saintly Might... so this is what it truly feels like."
Gu Changsheng did not have time to think further and used his technique to continue onward.
Along the way, he saw many Primordial beings racing ahead.
As he passed through a valley, he suddenly felt a bone-piercing chill, as though it had seeped into his marrow.
Gu Changsheng focused his gaze and saw a Red-scaled Giant Python coiled within the Cold Pool at the bottom of the valley.
Its enormous body seemed to cover the entire valley.
"A human actually dares to intrude here."
The Red-scaled Giant Python's voice was as cold as ice, and Demonic Qi surged around him.
Those eyes seemed to see through Gu Changsheng's heart, sending chills through his entire body.
Gu Changsheng's heart trembled, and he suddenly felt as insignificant as a grain of sand.
Yet although the Red-scaled Giant Python revealed a greedy look, he did not open his mouth to devour Gu Changsheng.
"Since this is beneath a Saint's feet, I shall spare your life!"
The Red-scaled Giant Python's voice shook the valley.
Gu Changsheng could tell that he was a snake demon.
He recalled how his clansmen had died miserably and been reduced to ashes at the hands of great demons.
A surge of impulse suddenly welled up within him.
But Gu Changsheng quickly suppressed it.
"It seems this Red-scaled Giant Python has his eye on me. This time, when I reach Kunlun, I must become a Saint's disciple."
Beside the Red-scaled Giant Python, several thousand skulls emitted a strange, ghastly green glow.
Gu Changsheng knew that if he failed to become a Saint's disciple,
then if he returned from Kunlun empty-handed, he would surely be harmed by this Red-scaled Giant Python.
He clenched his fists and stared resolutely at the towering Kunlun Holy Land.
Becoming a Saint's disciple was something he was determined to achieve!
Gu Changsheng hurried onward.
The Red-scaled Giant Python let out a sinister cackle.
"This brat is tender and delicate. He looks rather tasty. I can wait until you return before savoring you."
Donghuang Taiyi and Demon Emperor Jun had founded the Demon Court.
This Red-scaled Giant Python was one such great demon.
He was naturally fond of eating humans, which was why he waited here.
Who would have thought that he would encounter Gu Changsheng?
Thus, a grudge was formed between them.
At the foot of Kunlun Mountain, Primordial beings gathered together.
Beings from every race of the Great Desolation raised their eyes, their faces filled with yearning.
However, some cast disdainful looks at Gu Changsheng, a human.
"Even a human dares come to a Saint's domain? You truly overestimate yourself."
That Primordial being was burly and looked upon Gu Changsheng's slight frame with utter contempt.
Gu Changsheng did not concern himself with it.
He had come here for one purpose: to seek a master.
He paid no attention to anything else.
Just as Gu Changsheng stood among the other beings, eagerly looking ahead,
Boom!
Suddenly, a tremendous roar rang out from above Kunlun's peak, Above the Nine Heavens.
Purple lightning streaked across the sky, and it was as though a Heavenly Gate had appeared atop Kunlun Mountain.
Holy light enveloped a region spanning hundreds of millions of li.
"The Heavenly Gate has opened! The Saints are emerging!"
A Primordial being exclaimed in shock.
Gu Changsheng held his breath as well and looked on intently.
From within the Heavenly Gate came a voice that seemed to have arrived from ancient eternity, reverberating through the heavens.
In an instant, vast sound waves swept across hundreds of millions of li.
The sound waves surged, driving out every wicked being.
At that moment, the Dao Hearts of all beings trembled sharply.
Gu Changsheng only felt as though his Dao Heart had been peered into, leaving his mind unsettled.
Under the heavenly light, Immortal Music rang out from Kunlun's peak.
Immortal Cranes danced from time to time, light and ethereal.
As though from the end of the River of Time, a voice resounded.
"I, Primordial Heavenly Venerate, am accepting disciples of the Chan Sect at Kunlun today. Any who possess great perseverance, great wisdom, and great courage may ascend the one hundred twenty-nine thousand six hundred steps and enter my mountain gate!"
The Primordial beings were all startled.
One hundred twenty-six thousand six hundred steps—that was the count of one Yuan!
Gu Changsheng's heart trembled, and he wished to try.
But another voice rang out from Above the Nine Heavens of Kunlun.
Supreme Purity Laozi and Sect Leader Tongtian were also beginning to accept disciples.
All beings erupted into excitement!
"All Three Pure Saints are accepting disciples. This is truly a difficult choice."
"Still, this gives us options."
"If we fail Saint Yuanshi's test, we can also take Saint Tongtian as our master."
