The Clear Sky Heaven Stage was known to the world.
This path could be said to be the door of the Qingyun Sect. It was completely paved with bluestone, and its width could accommodate five people walking side by side. The path was either straight or curved, all along the cliff and towards a towering mountain peak. After passing through this mountain, it was the Ethereal Peak and the Seven Peaks of Green Cloud.
Clear Sky Heaven Stage, the entire journey was exquisite, but an ordinary person would need a day to complete it. As for cultivators, they could only obediently walk around like mortals. This was because there was a strange array on the peak of this journey. It was set up by Daoist Qing Ye, a mighty figure in the Qingyun Sect.
Investigating the reason, it was said that back then, after the Qingyun Sect's founding ancestor, Qingyun Zi, established the sect here, he took in ten disciples. But ever since Qingyun Zi passed away, of these ten disciples, two died early, four died in a vendetta battle in the pugilistic world, the remaining one was crippled, and one went missing. Only two lineages were passed down. Not long after, an unprecedented natural disaster and earthquake suddenly occurred within a hundred miles of the Green Cloud Mountain. Mountain torrents exploded, the earth shook, and countless people were killed and injured. It was actually another line of death. As for the only remaining descendant, he was limited by his aptitude and abilities. He was no longer as glorious as Qingyun Zi back then. Instead, because of that ancient scroll, he attracted external enemies to fight over it. After several bloody battles, if it wasn't for the few powerful restriction Dharma treasures Qingyun Zi left behind, the Qingyun Sect would probably have been destroyed.
This situation continued for a full 400 years. The Qingyun Sect did not improve at all. It could almost be described as "struggling on the brink of death." In the end, he was even bullied to the doorstep of his home. Among the seven peaks of the Green Cloud, other than the main peak, the other six peaks were occupied by foreign enemies. Among them were bandits and bandits who used them as strongholds to plunder everywhere. Those who did not know the truth misunderstood and thought that the Qingyun Sect had fallen to such a state. Although the Qingyun disciples had many excuses and wanted to kill the enemy to clear their names, they were powerless. It was pitiful.
Just as the Qingyun Sect was in danger, an amazing person suddenly appeared in the sect. It was Daoist Qing Ye. This person's cultivation was extraordinary. With his own strength, he resolved the crisis of Qingyun and brought Qingyun Sect to an incomparably dazzling glory.
In order to rebuild the prestige of Qingyun Sect, Green Leaf Daoist built the 9,999-level Qingyun Heaven Staircase under Ethereal Summit. After the construction was completed, he used his great magic power to set up a Heaven and Earth Strange Formation here. No matter how capable you were, you had to walk on land in front of this strange formation.
............
At that moment, Ling Xiao and his group were standing under an ancient tree not far away from Clear Sky Stairs.
At that moment, Ling Xiao looked at the Dao children seriously and said solemnly,""Remember, you have to be more serious later. This is the only way to pass through the Qingyun Sect. If you're lucky enough to be chosen by the inner sect elder who passes by, you'll be blessed!”
"Don't worry, we will definitely not let down Elder Ling's hard work.”A Dao child immediately replied.
Ling Xiao nodded his head in satisfaction and was about to head towards the Clear Sky Staircase.
"Elder Ling, you clearly have many opportunities to become an inner sect disciple, but why do you want to stay in the outer sect?”A Dao child suddenly said after Ling Xiao turned around.
Ling Xiao did not answer immediately with his back facing the Dao children. Instead, after taking two to three steps, he said,""Seven days later, the Qingyun Sect will be recruiting disciples. I want to join the Qingyun Sect's Great Bamboo Peak.“
All the Dao children looked at Ling Xiao in a daze, unable to come back to their senses for a long time.
"I think I heard Elder Ling mention Big Bamboo Peak just now!”A Dao child said.
"It seems so." A Dao child replied.
"I heard that the Great Bamboo Peak has only accepted seven disciples.”A Dao child said.
"Moreover, it's... The line with the least future." A Dao child boldly said, ending the conversation.
Following that, the Dao children took shovels, brooms, and shovels towards the Clear Sky Heaven Staircase with stunned expressions.
Below the Clear Sky Heaven Stairs, there were two huge stone pillars on both sides. The two stone pillars supported a huge square plaque made of diamond. The horizontal board had an ancient feel to it, and there were traces of it being trimmed. The most eye-catching words on the board were naturally: Qingyun Sect!
The handwriting was bold and heroic, and it was awe-inspiring! Although the three words were not neat, the handwriting that could be recognized at a glance was extremely charming. Upon closer inspection, one would feel as if those words had come alive.
In fact, these three words were mentioned by the Qingyun Sect's founder, Daoist Qingye. The handwriting was enhanced by the thick True Qi, the Taiji Mystic Pure Dao. After nearly a thousand years of wind and rain, it was ancient and mysterious.
Anyone who reads this writing needs to have a magnanimous heart. If this person's talent is outstanding, they can still gain something from reading it! However, if that person was a murderous and evil person, it would definitely cause the true qi inside to resist. If his cultivation was not enough, he would not have a good ending.
At this moment, there were two Green Cloud disciples standing beside the two stone pillars on the board. One was tall and the other was short. The two of them were dressed in the uniform of Qingyun Sect disciples, green brocade robes and Taoist robes. They stood there with their heads held high and their chests puffed out, like two statues.
"Hello, Senior Brothers!"
At that moment, Ling Xiao came down from the Heaven Staircase and bowed to the two of them.
Although the Qingyun Sect's inner sect did not recognize outer sect disciples, no matter how old they were, outer sect disciples had to bow respectfully when they saw inner sect disciples. Senior Brother!
The two Qingyun Sect disciples looked at Ling Xiao, then at the group of people who were panting as they slowly walked over from the distance. They then looked at Ling Xiao.
"Junior Brother Ling! In the past, weren't the Heaven Rank cleaned by those older outer sect disciples? You're..." The tall inner disciple seemed to recognize Ling Xiao as he asked in surprise.
Ling Xiao smiled faintly." The Qingyun Sect's recruitment of disciples is the top priority of the Qingyun Inner Sect. These few days, the important figures of the inner sect should come out often." I hope they will be chosen!"
"You really put in a lot of effort. But Ling Xiao, what about you?”The short inner disciple asked with concern.
"Me! Of course, I still insist on my principles!" Ling Xiao laughed.
"That's good. After all, the other six peaks have too many people, and there are only eight people under Big Bamboo Peak's Martial Uncle Tian, including his daughter.”The tall inner disciple consoled.
"I'm afraid it's not that simple now!”the short inner disciple suddenly said.
"Oh! What's the problem?" The tall inner disciple asked.
"I heard that Big Bamboo Peak's new disciple's aptitude wasn't good, and he wasn't liked by Martial Uncle Tian, causing him to be very unhappy. Therefore, the requirements for accepting disciples at Big Bamboo Peak were extremely strict. It was said that this time, it was personally checked by Big Bamboo Peak's Martial Uncle Su!”the short inner disciple said.
Ling Xiao remained calm after hearing that. Deep down, he naturally knew the reason. Tian Buyi's seventh disciple should have been Zhang Xiaofan, and the person he originally wanted was Lin Jingyu. However, Cang Song was the one who took him. With Tian Buyi's personality, it was normal for him to be uncomfortable. This was because in the past few years, the Great Bamboo Peak had always been at the bottom of the Qingyun Sect's competition. Therefore, in Tian Buyi's heart, he had always hoped that a disciple with outstanding talent would appear on the Great Bamboo Peak to change the situation. Now, he had finally found a talented disciple, but not only did he not get one, he even got Zhang Xiaofan, who was just a good-for-nothing.
"Ling Xiao, why don't you join our Longshou Peak? Although your aptitude isn't high, with our recommendation and your own popularity, entering the inner sect is completely easy.”The tall inner disciple said sincerely.
"That's right! Why must you treat that Big Bamboo Peak as a treasure? You must know that this Big Bamboo Peak has no future. In my opinion, the Great Bamboo Peak will definitely return empty-handed when the Qingyun Sect accepts disciples this time.”The short inner sect disciple seemed to dislike Big Bamboo Peak as he spoke with a mocking tone.
"Thank you for your concern, Senior Brothers, but my life was saved by Senior Brother Song of Big Bamboo Peak. I once swore that if I had the chance to enter the Qingyun Sect, I would definitely join the Big Bamboo Peak.”Ling Xiao said seriously.
"You're quite thoughtful, but they might not be willing to accept you!”The tall inner disciple shook his head and sighed.
Ling Xiao smiled lightly and said casually,""Let fate take its course! After all, my aptitude is only so-so."
"You…Sigh!" The tall inner disciple knew that it was useless to say more, so he said emotionally.
At this moment, the Dao children had already arrived beside Ling Xiao.
The short inner court disciple had a warm expression on his face. When he saw the Dao children standing respectfully beside Ling Xiao, he said solemnly,""Seven days later, it will be the day when our Qingyun Sect will recruit disciples. The Heaven Rank is the only path for those who come because of its reputation, so you need to clean it carefully. Don't slack off, understand?”
"Yes, sir! Senior Brother!" The Dao children replied in unison.
The two inner disciples nodded in satisfaction.
"Senior Brothers, I'll bring them to start cleaning. After all, these 9,999 stone steps are not easy!”Ling Xiao said in a low voice.
"Yes! Then Junior Brother, you should urge them to start cleaning!”The tall inner disciple smiled.
Ling Xiao nodded and said to the Dao children,""Alright, we're going to start fighting!”
The Dao children responded excitedly and followed Ling Xiao to that level.
It was obvious that the Dao children had practiced martial arts to strengthen their bodies. Their steps were very relaxed, and they walked up three steps with each step.
When they were halfway there, Ling Xiao smiled at them and said,""Leave this to me. You guys will be in charge of the rest!”
The Dao children were stunned. One of them said,""Elder Ling, let us do this kind of rough work. You can rest.”
"Yes, I am!" The Dao children replied.
Ling Xiao shifted his gaze to the endless Blue Cloud Heaven Staircase and said seriously,""Since you still acknowledge me as your big brother, don't reject me!”
After Ling Xiao finished speaking, he took a set of cleaning tools from one of the children and smiled.""Don't be lazy!"
Following that, Ling Xiao leaped up the Heavenly Steps with clear and elegant steps. It was as if he was taking a leisurely stroll in the courtyard, taking three or four steps with each step. He was as fast as a ghost and extremely unrestrained.
