On the small bamboo peak, Wen Min asked worriedly in a low voice,"Master, Junior Brother has been gone for half a year. There's been no news from him until now.”
The rest of the people also looked at Master Shuiyue, hoping that she would say something.
Master Shuiyue muttered," This is also a kind of cultivation for him. As for when the time will be up, even the Dao Xuan Sect Master doesn't have that kind of ability." You should cultivate in peace.”
All the disciples accepted the order and left. After everyone left, Master Shuiyue looked at the sky in a daze.
There was a mountain called Kunlun. This mountain did not have white clouds winding around it like the Green Cloud Mountain, nor did it have the grand occasion of strange peaks and strange rocks competing to stand tall, nor did any cultivation sects establish their sects here.
There were no clouds on Mount Kunlun, but the fog was very thick. Layers of clouds covered Mount Kunlun, making it impossible to see what was inside. This made Mount Kunlun even more mysterious and strange.
However, there was a legend that had been circulating in Kunlun since some years ago. The legend vividly described an immortal who comprehended Dao in Kunlun Mountain and later ascended to the Immortal World. However, when the immortal ascended, he left behind many secrets of Dao techniques and divine artifacts that he used before he ascended. They were all left in a cave abode in Kunlun Mountain.
Many ancient books also recorded that there was a Goddess of Jade Lake in Mount Kunlun, and phoenixes perched on trees. There were all kinds of bizarre legends.
Legends were legends after all. In the beginning, some cultivators or devil cult magnates curiously headed to Kunlun according to the records in ancient books, hoping to obtain immortal treasures or spiritual fruits and strange beasts.
However, what was disappointing was that there was nothing valuable here other than the barren mountains, black water, and all kinds of ferocious and brutal mutated beasts. Even many people with profound Dao techniques had fallen here.
Gradually, the number of people who came to Kunlun to explore the secrets decreased. As time passed, most people forgot about this matter and only treated it as a story or a legend.
Zhang Xing was like a traveler admiring the scenery along the way. He did not know how long he had been living in the wind and sleeping in the open. Naturally, he would get tired after seeing too much. This kind of walking was no different from an ascetic monk. It would be great if he could have his own flying sword.
However, time passed quickly and he still found nothing.
After walking for an unknown distance, the cries became even stronger. One day, he arrived in front of Mount Kunlun. The voice seemed to urge him to go up the mountain to find out.
When he stepped into the thick fog of Mount Kunlun, the fog automatically parted from both sides. A winding stone staircase that extended all the way to the top of the mountain appeared in his eyes. There were countless steps.
At this moment, the jade on Zhang Xing's chest felt inexplicably hot. It floated out from under his clothes and flashed with a warm light. It pulled the rope as if it was pulling Zhang Xing up.
The jade's reaction made Zhang Xing very curious. Although he knew from birth that this jade was not an ordinary item and that it would absorb spiritual energy at his own pace during cultivation, he had never seen such a strange thing like this.
Zhang Xing gently lifted the spiritual jade and said,""Are you asking me to go up the mountain? I will go." After saying that, Zhang Xing gently touched the surface of the jade, and the jade responded to him with an abundant spiritual qi seeping into his skin.
At this moment, a voice suddenly appeared in the sky and whispered into Zhang Xing's ear,""Fated person, you can hear my voice. Separating the thick fog means that you have obtained my inheritance and are qualified to inherit the Dao and treasures I left behind. But before that, you have to get up these stone steps first.”
The voice floated in the air, and the Dao seemed to come from all directions, making it impossible to capture it.
"There are a total of 1,080 stone steps, and every few steps, you will face a test. Only by passing the test can you enter the cave abode and inherit my legacy and fulfill my long-cherished wish. Every test is very dangerous, and there is the danger of losing your life at any time. Have you thought it through?”
"Thank you, Immortal, for your guidance. Since I'm here, I won't back down." I have benefited a lot from this spiritual jade since I was born. Today, I was guided here. There must be a reason. Maybe it can solve the mystery of my pregnancy. I must go there. Moreover, I'm very curious about the Immortal's Dao techniques. It's a blessing to be able to see plastic surgery.”
The voice praised," You're a promising child. I hope you can pass the test and inherit all my knowledge. I've waited so many years for someone to finally come."”
Zhang Xing's expression changed slightly. There was an unprecedented determination and persistence on his face.
As they climbed up the stairs, the fog would disperse a little more with every step they climbed. All kinds of strange beasts were running around in the mountain, and from time to time, they would let out a few deafening strange cries, which was very terrifying. On both sides of the stone steps were towering trees that reached the clouds.
When he reached the twenty-first step, Zhang Xing suddenly felt that his body had become heavier for no reason. What was even worse was that he heard a hissing sound coming from his right, making his scalp go numb.
A bowl-sized, colorful snake coiled on a tree. It stretched its neck and stared at Zhang Xing, its scarlet tongue extending and retracting from time to time.
Zhang Xingqiang swallowed and slowly turned his head. His feet moved slightly to an angle as he carefully looked at the snake.
The snake was eager to swallow its prey. The tree trunk around its body creaked. Then, its tail suddenly straightened and let out a fluttering sound. It opened its bloody mouth and pounced at Zhang Xing like an arrow.
Even from afar, he could feel the fishy wind. The snake was very fast, but Zhang Xing's reaction speed was not slow either. In addition, his Dragon Transformation was a Dao technique that increased speed. He quickly pulled out his sword from his back and did not stop moving. He slipped and dodged the giant snake's attack.
However, something unexpected happened. The snake's tail was like a scissors, and it swept towards Zhang Xing's back almost at the same time. Zhang Xing was caught off guard and was swept directly. He staggered and fell on the stone steps, grimacing in pain. Even though he had cultivated the Longevity Form and his body had been greatly strengthened, this attack had still caused him considerable injuries.
He felt his blood boiling and suffocating. Blood flowed out of the corner of his mouth.
Zhang Xing jumped to his feet and stared coldly at the snake. He said regretfully,""I was too careless. I was actually tricked by this beast. If the Spiritual Venerable saw this, I don't know how he would humiliate me.”
With a slight movement of his mind, the Longevity Form began to circulate naturally, and in a short while, the annoyance disappeared.
Seeing that its first attack had succeeded, the snake intensified its attacks. Without giving Zhang Xing any time to think, the snake's second wave of attacks arrived. Zhang Xing's hands moved and formed a few seals in a row. The sword in his hand flew out to meet the snake's attack.
The snake's tail collided with the sword, but the sword had no effect on the snake.
