The Green Cloud Mountains were towering and dominating the Central Plains. There was a great river, Hongchuan, in the shade of the mountain, and Heyang City, the important town in Shanyang, which held the throat of the world. Its geographical location was very important.
Green Cloud Mountain stretched for hundreds of miles, with seven peaks rising and falling. They towered into the clouds. Usually, one would only see white clouds surrounding the mountainside, and one would not be able to see the true appearance of the peak. Qingyun Mountain was densely covered with forests, waterfalls, strange rocks, and rare birds and animals. The scenery was secluded and dangerous, and it was famous all over the world.
However, the more famous one was the cultivation sect on this mountain, Qingyun Sect.
The Qingyun Sect was divided into the inner sect and the outer sect. The inner sect was made up of cultivators. They comprehended the truth of the Heavenly Dao and wanted to cultivate the art of longevity, living freely between heaven and earth.
As for the outer sect disciples, they were all orphans who had gone out to find them or people who had gone up the mountain to become disciples but had no immortal fate. They were taught some methods to strengthen their bodies. One of them roamed the world, some fled to the Shang Dynasty, some used martial arts to uphold justice in the world. The two of them stayed in the Green Cloud Mountain as handymen, responsible for the trivial matters of the inner sect disciples.
Of course, only inner sect disciples would call themselves Green Cloud disciples. As for outer sect disciples, they could not consider themselves as Qingyun Sect disciples. Firstly, they did not have the strength and would be attacked by enemies who were hostile to the Qingyun Sect. Secondly, outer sect disciples were all ordinary people after all. They would always have the concept of being separated from cultivators by heaven and earth. Therefore, outer sect disciples often only had a vanity title. Usually, they were just servants. To put it bluntly, they were slaves! However, it was a great honor for them.
.................
Below the seven peaks of Green Cloud Mountain, there was a high peak called Ethereal Peak. This was where the outer sect lived.
At this moment, under a towering ancient tree on the mountain peak, a few boys who looked to be about twelve or thirteen years old and wore white Daoist robes were hiding under it, avoiding the scorching fireball in the sky. They were either sitting on the lawn, standing, leaning against the ancient trees, or lying on the ground, extremely satisfied!
"Elder Ling seems to have been taking on missions for a long time today!”A child Daoist sitting on the lawn asked in confusion.
"It is indeed very long, because we have been waiting here for two hours.”The Daoist child who was leaning against the pine tree said seriously.
"What do you think is the reason?”The Daoist child sitting on the lawn asked.
"Haha! I know!" A Daoist child lying on the grass said with a smile.
"Hurry up and tell me!" All the Dao children looked at the reclining Dao child at the same time and said in unison.
"A few days ago, I heard from the official disciples of the Qingyun Sect that they will be recruiting new disciples soon! In the past, the Qingyun Sect's recruitment of disciples was always held in our Ethereal Peak. Elder Ling must have been delayed because of this!”the reclining Daoist child said.
"You, you actually hid such an important matter?”The Daoist child, who was leaning against the pine tree, complained with an excited expression.
"After all, this concerns the inner sect. I don't want to be blamed.”The Dao child who had just spoken said seriously.
"This..." The Dao children didn't know what to say.
The rules for outer sect disciples were very strict in the Green Cloud Mountain. If it involved inner sect matters, no matter how big or small, they couldn't even mention it.
"Don't worry! Now that the news had spread in Ethereal Summit, the higher-ups wouldn't blame them. Even if they were to blame him, with Elder Ling around, what was there to be afraid of!”The Daoist child who was lying down seemed to see what they were worried about and comforted them.
"That's right! With Elder Ling around, what are we afraid of?" The Daoist child who was leaning against the pine tree laughed.
At this moment, when these people were talking about Elder Ling, their eyes would always be filled with respect and affection.
"You little fellows, did you do something bad again?”
A warm voice suddenly drifted over.
All the Dao children looked towards the source of the voice and saw a young man in a blue Daoist robe strolling over. The youth was thirteen or fourteen years old, and his face was delicate and warm. Compared to other Dao children of the same age, his thick outline had a maturity that did not match his age. At this moment, there was a smile on his lips, and he was kind and warm.
When they saw who it was, the Dao children hurriedly straightened their bodies and bowed respectfully."Elder Ling!"
"I told you, you don't have to be so serious when there's no one around.”The blue clothed youth said helplessly.
"We forgot!" The Dao children lowered their heads, looking as if they were admitting their mistakes.
The youth in blue shook his head and said solemnly,""Alright, listen up. I'm going to announce today's mission now!”
The Dao children immediately listened attentively.
"Seven days later, the Qingyun Sect will recruit disciples once every 30 years. Today, we are assigned to clean up the Qingyun Heaven Staircase below Ethereal Summit.”The blue-robed youth said.
"Clear Sky Heavenly Stage! Elder Ling, are you sure you're right?”One of the children swallowed his saliva and said in surprise.
The blue-robed youth nodded slightly." Don't think about getting lucky. Our mission is the Clear Sky Heavenly Stage. Moreover, it must be completed within five days.”
The Dao children rolled their eyes and fell to the ground.
The youth in blue smiled and continued,"Don't look like you're about to die. I spent a lot of effort to get this mission!”
"Ah! Elder Ling, aren't you trying to harm us?”A Daoist child wailed.
At the same time, the other Dao children also joined in the jeering and chattering.
Faced with the ruckus of the Dao children, the blue-robed youth shook his head helplessly and muttered,""Children are children!"
However, it was extremely awkward for a young man to say such words to a group of his peers.
At this moment, the blue-robed youth suddenly had a nostalgic look on his face as he faced the noisy group of Dao children.
"It has been two years. I wonder how those little fellows are doing without my care…They must be quarreling right now, right?.. Haha! At this moment, Grandpa must be having a terrible headache!”The youth in blue murmured softly.
In the past, little by little, looking back, it was sweet and painful!
................
In the heart of the blue-clothed youth, there was always a secret hidden.
His name was Ling Xiao, and he was actually not from this world. He had transmigrated from a blue planet to this place.
He was raised by an old man in an orphanage. When he became an adult, he managed the courtyard and took care of a group of children and teenagers who had the same experience as him.
He still remembered clearly that he had a sudden impulse that day. He downloaded a whole set of standalone games with a high-tech gadget called computer. All the games were in the Legend of the Sword and Fairy series. His goal was naturally to break through it and reminisce about the classic games that had once been popular all over the country.
That night, there was a storm, lightning, and thunder. He was sitting by the window, and the computer was playing the same battle scenes in the Legend of the Sword and Fairy! The fierce wind and rain outside the transparent glass did not seem to affect his focus on controlling the game at all.
It was as if his actions had angered the heavens.
"Rumble!" It was followed by a deafening thunder.
Ling Xiao was a little surprised at the time, and then he shifted his gaze to the pitch-black sky. Then, his pupils dilated infinitely, and his face was filled with fear and shock.
The eye was focused on a thick bolt of purple lightning, and the target was himself.
Thus, after being struck by the purple lightning, he came to this world, and his soul occupied another person's soul. Then, he was reborn.
What surprised him was that both his name and appearance were exactly the same as his original body.
According to the information of the soul that he had occupied, the world he had come to was Celestial Bane!
