Tread the Sword Platform, Ascend the Immortal Path-Who Could Stop a Cry of "Sword, Come"?
A tranquil little mountain village is nestled amidst lush green mountains and clear waters.
Anyuan Village is a remote mountain village with only twenty households.
On the dirt road in the village, five children were playing and laughing. Each of them Central City, and they were gesturing with their swords and shouting the names of the sword moves.
One shouted " Three Ultimates Sword," another shouted " Shadowless Sword," and yet another shouted " Returning Cloud Sword "...
On the roadside, there was a seven or eight-year-old child who looked mentally challenged, holding a wooden sword in his right hand, while sucking on his left thumb.
In a fleeting moment, the child's previously blank gaze suddenly cleared.
He took his thumb out of his mouth, wiped it on his clothes with obvious disgust, looked at the wooden sword in his hand, and muttered with a sneer, "This time, the identity I've been given is that of a silly kid?"
She's seven or eight years old and still can't speak. She wets the bed from time to time, and she can't even tell the difference between raw and cooked food. She'll eat if someone gives her food, and she'll go hungry if they don't.
The key point is that he's an orphan. It's truly remarkable that he's survived this long. It just goes to show how kind and simple the villagers are.
Now that he's been replaced in Anyuan Village, there's bound to be a storyline unfolding here.
At this moment, Ling Yi looked towards the village entrance, where a middle-aged strong man was riding a black horse and slowly walking over.
The original owner of this body had this person in his memories. The children all called him Third Uncle. He was the village chief's third son, named Guan Kuo, and ten years ago he joined the Immortal Gate Heaven and Earth Sect.
The last time he came back was two years ago, when he stayed in the village for a month.
During that time, I talked a lot with the village children about Immortal Gate.
The "sword moves" those kids were talking Guan Kuo earlier were the sword techniques Guan Kuo used to show off; their power was hard to say.
The original owner of this body had mental problems and didn't remember much.
Judging from the few scenes I remember, this third uncle's cultivation level was terrible.
This was true at least two years ago.
A cultivator who can't even cut down a tree as thick as an arm with a single sword strike—what kind of cultivator is that? Any Martial Arts Expert is stronger than that.
Ling Yi Perception the other party's cultivation level; it was the Early Qi Refining Stage, just Entry.
As soon as Uncle San appeared, the children surrounded him, clamoring for him to tell them stories.
"Telling stories is nothing. Your third uncle is back this time to test your aptitude. If you have the aptitude for cultivation, you'll have to follow your third uncle to cultivate immortality."
These words drew cheers from the children.
"You all go home first and tell your families that you'll all come to my house later."
The children dispersed, leaving only Ling Yi, who quietly watched him.
" Ling Yi, do you remember your third uncle?" Guan Kuo walked over, squatted down, and said to Ling Yi.
Ling Yi remained silent.
Guan Kuo didn't take it to heart, patted Ling Yi on the shoulder and said, "Third Uncle is now considered a member of the Immortal Gate. The immortals and mortals are separated, and the next time he returns may be decades or even hundreds of years later."
"Forget it, why bother talking to you about this?" Guan Kuo stood up and turned to leave.
However, after taking only a few steps, he turned back, took out a Shitou engraved with mysterious runes from his pocket, and placed it in front of Ling Yi.
Then the mysterious Shitou was placed on Ling Yi's forehead.
"Boom!"
A dazzling light shot into the Guan Kuo.
"This, this, this, a perfect Spiritual Root? How is this possible!" Guan Kuo exclaimed in shock.
Ling Yi didn't seal his own strength this time, so Ling Yi wasn't surprised by this result.
However, Ling Yi still didn't say anything.
Guan Kuo stared at Ling Yi in a daze for a long time before finally saying with a wry smile, "But, why are you an idiot?"
Ling Yi could tell that Guan Kuo's expression was somewhat conflicted.
After a long pause, he said, "Never mind, I'll take you back to the sect. Whether the elders are willing to accept you depends on your own Creation."
After saying that, Guan Kuo took Ling Yi's hand and walked towards home.
Two days later, Guan Kuo left Anyuan Village with Ling Yi and a child named Yun Feng, heading towards the Heaven and Earth Sect.
Guan Kuo the way, Guan Kuo shared a lot of information about the Immortal Cultivation Realm with Ling Yi and Yun Feng.
Of course, Guan Kuo was mainly introducing him to Yun Feng; as for Ling Yi, in his eyes, he was still just a silly boy.
This is a world of cultivation where the sword reigns supreme.
Only those who possess Sword Soul can be called sword cultivators. Even if others have mastered Sword Control Technique and can Combat with the Legend of Sword and Fairy, they still cannot be called sword cultivators without Sword Soul.
The reason for this is that every hundred years, a Immortal Ascension Platform appears in this world, and only sword cultivators with Sword Soul are allowed to climb the Immortal Ascension Platform. Other cultivators, no matter how high their cultivation level, will be excluded.
It is said that if one can climb all the way to the top of the Immortal Ascension Platform, one can become a god.
Gradually, those who possess Sword Soul will be valued more and more, and sword cultivators will become figures revered by everyone.
"Step onto the Sword Platform, ascend the Immortal Path, with a single shout of the sword, who can stop me!" Guan Kuo eyes.
"This is a quote left behind by the Sword God who ascended to the Immortal Ascension Platform a hundred years ago."
"Third Uncle, can one become a god as long as they step onto the Immortal Ascension Platform?" Yun Feng asked with bright eyes.
"I've told you so many times, from now on you have to call me Senior Brother, not Third Uncle."
Then, Guan Kuo shook his head and said, "It's not that easy. The Immortal Ascension Platform has tens of thousands of steps, and every step is subject to the baptism of Thunder. Moreover, there are ancient Mutant Beast blocking the way."
"In the thousands of years, only the Sword God of a hundred years ago has successfully reached the summit; all others have failed."
Ling Yi raised an eyebrow, instinctively sensing that this Immortal Ascension Platform was probably not very respectable.
Why only sword cultivators? More importantly, why only sword cultivators with Sword Soul? Why not other cultivators?
It's probably not that it's impossible, but rather... it's unnecessary.
Ling Yi chuckled. Immortal Ascension Platform Immortal Ascension Platform... that seemed quite interesting. He'd create his own, turning the fake into the real, and then directly enter his own Ling Realm after ascending to immortality...
However, there's no rush for now.
"Senior brother, are there very few sword cultivators?" Yun Feng asked.
"It's not many, but it's not few either; roughly one in a hundred cultivators possesses a Sword Soul."
"If only I had Sword Soul." Yun Feng's Guangzhi were filled with longing.
Guan Kuo laughed heartily, "If you possess Sword Soul, then I, your senior brother, will have to benefit from it!"
The three of them walked along, stopping frequently.
After spending seven days, they arrived at a huge city called " Heaven and Earth City ".
" The Heaven and Earth Sect is located in this Heaven and Earth City. Do you see that tallest building? That's our Heaven and Earth Sect's headquarters," Guan Kuo said, pointing to a tower-shaped building in the middle of the city.
Ling Yi and Yun Feng both looked at Heaven and Earth City with curiosity.
The city was bustling with activity, filled with people hawking their wares.
Every now and then, a group of Heaven and Earth Gate disciples dressed in blue robes would patrol the street in neat steps.
These people have very low cultivation levels; some haven't even reached the Qi Refining Stage yet, and have only just begun cultivating.
On their shoulders, they all wore epaulets shaped like cauldrons. Guan Kuo also had one, but it was a different color. These epaulets were symbols of status and rank within the Heaven and Earth Gate.
It seems that the Heaven and Earth Sect is Shrouding the Heavens in Heaven and Earth City.
"In Heaven and Earth City, there are many rules, but even more emphasis is placed on interpersonal relationships. It's best not to offend anyone if you can avoid it, because you never know which person might have a Foundation Establishment Stage elder or a powerful sword cultivator at the Soul Nascent Realm standing behind them."
Guan Kuo took Yun Feng's hand and led him forward, saying as he went.
Ling Yi followed behind the two. Guan Kuo wanted to hold his hand, mainly because he was afraid of getting lost, but how could Ling Yi be willing to let a grown man hold his hand? That feeling was just too awkward.
The three of them walked forward, and as they approached the Heaven and Earth Sect, Guan Kuo stopped talking.
But along the way, Ling Yi noticed many things. It seemed that the Heaven and Earth Sect wasn't very popular among the common people.
Ordinary people look at Guan Kuo with resentment, hatred, jealousy, and awe.
Jealousy and awe of Ling Yi are understandable; it's like some people's resentment towards the rich.
But resentment and hatred are quite intriguing.
Based on Guan Kuo said, Ling Yi gained a general understanding of the Heaven and Earth Sect, or rather, of the cultivators in this world.
The Heaven and Earth Sect is called Immortal Gate, but it's more accurate to call it a cultivation school.
Although the architectural styles are different, the layout of the Heaven and Earth Sect is not much different from that of modern schools.
It consists of the Instruction Hall, Martial Arts Training Square, Cultivation Room, Dormitory Building, Skill Transmission Building, Trial Hall, Elders' Pavilion, and Sect Master's Hall.
The Heaven and Earth Sect covers a large area, roughly equivalent to the size of a regular university.
On the training ground, there were low-level cultivators practicing various spells and physical techniques, while some slightly higher-level cultivators were occasionally pointing out the mistakes of others.
Ling Yi also discovered that many disciples with cultivation levels similar to Guan Kuo had also returned to the sect with children. It seemed that these people, like Guan Kuo, would go out every now and then to find new disciples with cultivation potential.
However, this method of recruiting disciples by finding one person inevitably leads to the formation of certain small groups. Just like Guan Kuo, his first priority was to return to Anyuan Village to find qualified children.
No wonder Guan Kuo repeatedly warned them not to provoke others, because provoking one person could easily attract a whole bunch of others.
At this moment, the three of them had arrived at the entrance of the Elders' Pavilion. According to Guan Kuo, they would be taking their final test here, and then they would be assigned to different elders based on their aptitude.
The doors to the Elders' Hall were closed, and in front of them, a group of people were waiting, each accompanied by a child, some with one or two, others with six or seven.
The scene was very quiet; there was no communication between them.
The door to the Elders' Hall was opened, and a person came out with three children. Then, leading the three children, he turned and walked towards the dormitory building.
Meanwhile, the next group of people entered the Elders' Hall.
About an hour later, it was finally Guan Kuo and his Guan Kuo's turn.
Guan Kuo led Yun Feng by the hand and walked into the Elders' Hall, with Ling Yi following behind them.
There were six elders in the Elders' Hall, of varying ages and genders. The oldest had gray hair and looked old, while the youngest was not yet thirty.
They were all Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators, and in Ling Yi's eyes, their strength was quite weak.
They each sat in a chair, their expressions clearly showing signs of impatience.
Upon seeing Ling Yi and his group enter, without saying a word, one of the young female elders, nearing thirty, waved her hand at a black Shitou standing on a table in the center of the hall, indicating that Ling Yi and his group should conduct the test first...
