Gu Sheng The two of them 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 gray-haired old man sitting there.

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

"What? Withered Zen?"

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 in 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 Tai Xuan Sect disciples also coming here with a few cultivators who had just entered Entry Stone.

"Meet Uncle-Master Li."

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

Gu Sheng then realized that this old man was an elder from the Tai Xuan Sect, and his surname was Li.

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

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...Uncle-Master Li, don't get me wrong, we just saw two cultivators who have just passed Entry Stone come here, so we want to see what kind of intelligence these two people have, and they actually want to come to Clumsy Peak 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?

And this entry-level disciple of the Tai Xuan Sect is obviously making fun of Uncle-Master Li.

If it was Gu Sheng's temperament, he would have slapped him out of Clumsy Peak long ago.

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

"Huh..."

Uncle-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."

Uncle-Master Li opened his mouth and spoke kindly.

"No."

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

When several other Tai Xuan Sect disciples heard Gu Sheng's words, their ridicules were like sharp blades, cutting through Clumsy Peak's tranquility.

One of the disciples sneered and mocked, "You have a beautiful idea, Clumsy Peak, no one wants to come here, even if you test it, 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.

Ji Ziyue Hearing these harsh ridicules, a surge of anger surged in his heart.

"What are you talking about!"

Ji Ziyue clenched his hands into fists, and a cold light flashed in his 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 didn't need to be angry.

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

Uncle-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 Xuan Tower."

Uncle-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 entry-level disciples were stunned when they saw Nine-story Xuan Tower, a trace of shock and uneasiness flashed in their eyes.

Nine-story Xuan Tower is a legendary existence in the Tai Xuan Sect. It not only tests the physical strength and endurance of cultivators, but also tests their understanding and character.

In the history of the Tai Xuan 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 with no 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, Nine-story Xuan Tower, that 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.

Uncle-Master Li looked at these entry-level disciples and said calmly, "In the Tai Xuan Sect, nothing is impossible. As long as you have determination and perseverance, one day, you too can set foot on Nine-story Xuan Tower."

Gu Sheng and Ji Ziyue ignored the sounds around them and stood quietly in front of Nine-story Xuan 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 soon."

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

The two entry-level disciples said somewhat proudly.

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

In an instant, Ji Ziyue lifted his feet off the ground and jumped onto the first floor of Nine-story Xuan Tower.

"It's nothing..."

Ji Ziyue said speechlessly.

Then, Ji Ziyue used his strength again, preparing to jump to the second level.

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

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

Ji Ziyue suddenly summoned his divine power and gritted his 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 Green Copper Block in his body to be able to withstand these pressures.

"Kakaka..."

Ji Ziyue's figure shuttled between the tower floors, and every time he 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 is getting faster and faster.

When she soared to the ninth floor, the entire Nine-story Xuan 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 Bathed in this golden light, his figure looks even more sacred and inviolable.

"Huh..."

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

Uncle-Master Li looked at Ji Ziyue, his eyes full of shock and admiration.

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 Uncle-Master Li's voice, "From today on, Clumsy Peak 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."

Li Ruoyu Master replied directly.

"Great."

Ji Ziyue shouted excitedly.

"Swish swish!"

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

The light dissipated, and dozens of old men with white hair and young faces, wearing Daoist robes, came near the crowd.

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

"Senior Brother Li."

"Junior brothers, no courtesy."

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 his seven orifices, frowned slightly and said, "Why are you guys here?"

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

One of the disciples replied.

"Hmph!"

The old man snorted coldly and said with a look of disgust, "I just activated Heavenly Descent. It's good if I didn't crush you to death. Thank you Uncle-Master Li for showing mercy."

"Ah?"

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

"Thank you Uncle-Master Li for your teaching."

"No no no!"

Li Ruoyu waved his hands to everyone, and then explained to the elders, "Juniors have misunderstood, Heavenly Descent was not initiated by me, but by this disciple of the test."

Everyone turned their attention to Ji Ziyue.

"Is it him? Such a powerful force?"

One of the elders blurted out.

While he was talking, all the elders gathered around him, their eyes filled with 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 Tai Xuan Sect Spirit Light. It is a rare sight in a hundred years, and only Innate Expert can inspire it."

"Ah? So powerful?"

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

"Spirit Light 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.

Ji Ziyue After hearing this, I was extremely excited.

"Little girl, you have shown such potential, we Tai Xuan Sect naturally want to give you the best training environment, so we decided to let you go to the best Spirit Peak Tai Xuan Sect to practice. The spiritual energy there is rich and will be of great benefit to your growth."

One of the elders said with a smile.

"Spirit Peak?"

Ji Ziyue feels grateful, knowing that this is 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 Cloud Peak with me?"

"He?"

One of the elders looked at Gu Sheng.

He just glanced at Gu Sheng and said with disdain, "This son Fortune is lower and has insufficient cultivation, so it would be more suitable for him to be at Clumsy Peak."

"Forehead..."

Gu Sheng glanced at the old man with a look of disgust.

If he hadn't sealed the power in the Bitter Sea, he would probably be slapping himself at this time.

"No, I want to go with him."

Ji Ziyue is a little unhappy.

"Little girl, listen to me, if you join Clumsy Peak, you will not be able to join other main peaks. With your qualifications at Clumsy Peak, you are really overqualified."

"That's right, go to Spirit Peak."

"Spirit Peak has all the resources you want. It's much better than here."

The elders seemed to be engaged in advertising. If Li Ruoyu hadn't been present, they would have pulled Ji Ziyue towards the main peak.

Seeing Ji Ziyue a little embarrassed, Gu Sheng winked at Ji Ziyue and motioned for her to go to Spirit Peak.

Ji Ziyue understood instantly.

Because she knew that the purpose of their coming to the Tai Xuan Sect was to find the secret technique.

If you can enter Spirit Peak, it will increase the search scope.

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

Then, Ji Ziyue, together with the elders and disciples of Spirit Peak, drove Divine Rainbow away into the sky.

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

The contrast between the liveliness just now and the desertion now is really sad.

However, this seems to be more like the environment Gu Sheng and Li Ruoyu prefer.

Li Ruoyu saw Gu Sheng looking at Divine Rainbow in the distance, with a trace of envy in his eyes, and said softly, "Although Clumsy Peak is not as good as other Spirit Peak now, this was once one of our Tai Xuan Sect's holy places."

With that said, Li Ruoyu led Gu Sheng towards the front.

"Five hundred years ago, this place was full of spiritual energy, no less than Spirit Peak."

Gu Sheng turned to look at Li Ruoyu and asked curiously, "Then why is it like this now?"

Li Ruoyu took Gu Sheng for a walk on Clumsy Peak and explained while walking, "Five hundred years ago, there was a major repairman on Clumsy Peak He had extremely deep cultivation and outstanding understanding. He was the leader of the Tai Xuan Sect at that time. He suddenly realized the secret of heaven, but he did not pass on his understanding to the world. He only left four words - 'The Great Dao is Simple'."

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

"The Great Dao is Simple, what does this mean?"

Li Ruoyu smiled slightly, pointed to the surrounding rocks and trees, and said, "Look at these natural things, they are simple and pure, but they contain the true meaning of life, because the way of cultivation is simplicity, purity, and original intention."

"Yeah."

Gu Sheng nodded thoughtfully.

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

Li Ruoyu continues to take Gu Sheng to familiarize himself with the environment on Clumsy Peak.

They walked through areas that were once holy places for cultivation, feeling the glory of the past.
