"That was a close call!"
The moment Xuanyuan Yan's jade feet in embroidered shoes stepped onto the mountain gate, even though she had no doubt that she could pass the path to immortality, she couldn't help but feel joy in her heart.
Just now, when she was on the Ascension Path, she saw with her own eyes someone fall off the Ascension Path and be rescued by a disciple riding a crane. The crane grabbed the person and flew him to the foot of the mountain. Needless to say, she knew that all these people were eliminated and would never have the chance to become an immortal again in their lifetime.
Xuanyuan Yan walked alone on the path to immortality. He had no idea how long he had walked. When he felt extremely irritated, he suddenly remembered that with his level of cultivation, it would not take that long to reach the Xianyun Peak.
With her strength and firm belief, the path to immortality alone can never stop her!
After calming down, Xuanyuan Yan quickened his pace and reached the top of the mountain in less than a quarter of an hour.
On the top of the mountain, there was a fog ahead. About thirty or forty people were already waiting, including Xiao Yuan, who had been in the limelight before. He retracted the Qingluan Sword, lowered his hands, clenched his fists slightly, and looked at the fog in front of him without saying a word.
"This is an illusion, which means...it's actually to prevent Xiao Yuan from seeing Fairy Xiyue!"
Xuanyuan Yan easily figured out the purpose of the fog. After all, they had already reached the top of the mountain, so there was no need to test them with the fog.
The only purpose was to prevent Xiao Yuan from seeing Fairy Xiyue too early because he ran too fast.
"This Xiao Yuan... is quite impressive. He's worthy of being the man favored by Fairy Xiyue."
Xuanyuan Yan smiled slightly and did not go forward to chat with him, even though Xiao Yuan had some value that could be utilized and she could make friends with Fairy Xiyue through him.
But it might also lead to criticism, making it difficult for her to make progress in Xianyun Sect, which would be counterproductive.
There were some people who came to make friends with him in order to establish connections for future entry into the Immortal Sect. Xuanyuan Yan agreed indifferently, neither being overly indifferent nor showing enthusiasm.
About three hours later, when the number of people climbing the mountain reached over seven hundred, Uncle Zhou's voice suddenly spread throughout the Immortal Mountain:
"The path to immortality has ended. Those who fail to reach the top can turn to other immortal sects."
As the sound fell, thousands of radiant stairs crumbled inch by inch, and the people walking on them, feeling terrified and anxious, fell down screaming, all the way to the foot of the mountain. After falling limply to the ground, they all burst into tears.
If he fails to pass the Xianyun Sect's test of ascension to immortality this time, it will be almost impossible even if he switches to another immortal sect.
Not to mention the other four major immortal sects, the other second-rate and third-rate sects and families have extremely strong sectarian concepts. The vast majority of disciples are descendants of internal families. Unless there are too many accidental deaths of disciples, they will consider recruiting disciples from outside.
The only exception is the imperial examination held by the Kyushu royal family, where one can take the exam by paying money.
However, to pass the county examination, prefectural examination, provincial examination, metropolitan examination, palace examination, and finally become a Jinshi, and truly come into contact with the cultivation method of the Jiuzhou royal family, is far more difficult than the Xianyun Sect's path to immortality!
The people standing on the top of the mountain were naturally excited and proud, holding their heads high and chests puffed out, waiting to join the Xianyun Sect.
"Don't be too happy too soon."
The elder who was teaching the skills appeared before them and said calmly, "Just now, I just confirmed that your minds are strong enough to endure the hardships you will endure on the path of cultivation. The next step is to test your spiritual roots. Those with poor spiritual roots will still be eliminated."
There was a commotion among the crowd.
But fortunately, they had also heard of a theory that everyone in the world has spiritual roots, the only difference is good or bad.
"After testing your spiritual roots, we will test your talents. The Four Books and Five Classics, the Six Arts of a Gentleman, street acrobatics, and sword and knife skills are all acceptable."
Uncle Zhou said this, waving his hand forward, and the fog slowly cleared away.
A fairy as beautiful as the one in the Moon Palace appeared in front of everyone, with a pair of cold and holy eyes slowly sweeping over everyone.
"!!!"
In an instant, everyone held their breath, shocked by the sudden appearance of the beautiful fairy.
Her skin is as clear as autumn water and her bones are as jade, and her skin is as white as cream and as beautiful as a painting.
She was wearing a white long dress, had black hair like a waterfall, and a pair of jade-like arms. The mountain breeze blew gently, lifting her hair and her pure white long dress, revealing a hint of snow-white calves, giving people endless imagination.
"What a nice view!"
Everyone's heart was deeply shocked. The beautiful girl before them looked like a fairy descending from the sky. She was really as beautiful as a fairy from heaven, not caring about worldly matters and not bothered by worldly dust.
Especially her temperament, as bright as moonlight, quiet and holy, her eyes swept over everyone without emotion, and finally, the fairy's gaze stopped on a young man whose body was trembling slightly.
"Xiao Yuan, you're here."
A gentle smile suddenly appeared in the fairy's cold eyes, and in an instant all the flowers bloomed, making people feel warm all over.
Everyone was stunned.
As a woman, Xuanyuan Yan couldn't even feel jealous because the girl in front of her was just too perfect.
At the age of eight, she was unknown. In order to seek the Phoenix elixir that could change the spiritual roots of her childhood sweetheart, she begged her parents to take her to Songjia City. She resolutely climbed up Phoenix Mountain and played a song "Harmony of Luan and Feng" with an extremely ordinary piano. In an instant, the fairy mountain shook and the sound of the phoenix could be heard thousands of miles away.
It is said that the Song family members at that time were so moved that their eyes filled with tears. A phoenix had once landed on Song's Phoenix Mountain, but no one had ever seen it. Many people even suspected it was fake. If the Song family had not mastered the Phoenix elixir that could transform a person and change their appearance and qualifications, people all over the world would have laughed at them.
But after Xiao Xiyue played a song, no one had any doubts anymore.
A phoenix really once landed on Phoenix Mountain.
At this point, Xiao Xiyue became famous throughout the world, and Bai Hexian and his wife Nangong Wan personally visited the Xiao family, accepted him as their personal disciple, and taught him attentively.
Xiao Xiyue lived up to the name of Fairy Xiyue. She broke through the three realms of foundation building, Danxia, spiritual fetus, and fetus one by one within ten years. Her rapid advancement once again attracted the attention of the world.
Just like now, the fairy Xiyue was standing right in front of Xuanyuan Yan, as if a fairy from a painting had walked out.
"Xiyue."
A smile finally appeared on Xiao Yuan's silent face. He walked quickly forward and wanted to hold Xiyue's hand, but was stopped by the man standing next to her with a look.
"My name is Jin Wenyun, a true disciple of Xianyun Sect." The man did not show any hostility. Instead, he smiled gently and bowed to Xiao Yuan.
"My name is Xiao Yuan, nice to meet you, Senior Brother Jin!"
Xiao Yuan could only suppress his excitement after seeing Xiao Xiyue and returned the greeting.
"Senior brother" and "junior brother" are polite terms between practitioners, and are suitable for the current situation of the two, that is: because of Xiao Xiyue, they have a slightly close relationship.
It's just that most people in Xianyun Sect don't recognize this relationship.
Jin Wenyun smiled gently and did not deny it. She said, "Today is the day when our Xianyun Sect opens its doors to the immortals. Junior Sister Xiyue will be in charge of the music theory assessment. Junior Brother Xiao, please wait for a moment. After Junior Sister's assessment is over, we can talk again. How about that?"
"...good."
Looking at Xiao Xiyue, who was as cool and elegant as an immortal with flowing dress, Xiao Yuan agreed and walked up to her and looked at her deeply.
Xiao Xiyue, on the other hand, looked at him for a moment with her clear and pure eyes, as if everything was self-evident.
Everyone looked strange. Could it be that the senior sister really liked this boy?!
