Chapter 295: Climbing the Ladder

"Declined?" Ye Chunyang was greatly surprised when he heard this, and said: "Since Tianji Peak has a general outline of the Taoist treasures of each peak, why did it decline?"

Mu Ling'er spread her hands and said helplessly: "We have to ask the real people of Tianqi Sect. Maybe the Daozang of Tianji Peak is too difficult to understand. Now the 'Gui Dao Sutra' and the 'Seven Star Sword Formation' have disappeared. It has been nearly a thousand years. It is said that when Tianji Peak was at its peak, there were tens of thousands of disciples under the peak, overwhelming the other six peaks. All the Tianqi Sect's supreme elders also came from here, but no one could understand the 'Return to the One Sutra' anymore. Tianji Peak also gradually declined, but Tianshu Peak began to rise. There were often disciples under the sect who understood the scriptures in the stele and completed the 'Zixia Sutra', which made this peak famous and became the most popular one in Tianqi Sect over hundreds of years. A strong peak.”

After saying this, she looked back and said with a smile: "I wonder which main peak of Tianqimen, Brother Ye, is more interested in Daozang? If you don't have a goal, why not join Ling'er and worship at Tianshu Peak?"

Ye Chunyang really didn't know much about Tianqi Sect, and he didn't have much idea about the so-called Seven Branches of Taoism. What he thought at this time was that there were many disciples on Tianshu Peak, and there must be many masters. He had a secret, and if he worshiped at this peak You have to be on tenterhooks all day long, but it might be safer if you choose an inconspicuous main peak.

Even though he thought so, he showed no emotion on the surface. He just shrugged and said, "Let everything take its course. We won't look at it until we pass the assessment."

Seeing his noncommittal and casual attitude, Mu Ling'er couldn't help but stick out her tongue, showing a delicate look on her face, but she no longer forced herself.

While the two were chatting, the assessment rankings had reached them. After registering at the assessment office, Mu Linger walked up the mountain gate ladder without saying a word.

Ye Chunyang followed without hesitation.

But they didn't realize that shortly after walking up the ladder, a gaze behind them seemed to be looking at them with a strange look.

"Junior brother, what are you looking at this person for? Is it possible that you know him?"

An eighteen or nineteen-year-old Taoist boy in blue bumped into the man next to him with strange eyes and asked with a puzzled look on his face.

The man's age and attire were similar to those of the Taoist boy in blue. Both of them were at the eighth or ninth level of Qi Refining. They were responsible for registering new people to become disciples. Hearing the Taoist boy in blue's question, he frowned and did not answer. He picked up the register in his hand and looked at it, and after a while he said: "Junior brother, do you think you have heard the name Ye Xiaobao somewhere before?"

"Ye Xiaobao?" Upon hearing this, the Taoist boy in blue also took the register and glanced at it.

But he immediately shook his head and said: "Senior brother, there are not ten thousand but eight thousand people named Ye Xiaobao in the world. We register here all year round the disciples who come to be our disciples. It is not surprising that we occasionally meet a few with similar names. I guess you have seen them before." After hearing this name, is it a little confusing?"

The senior brother frowned and didn't answer. He only stared at the three characters "Ye Xiaobao" on the registration book, looking thoughtful.

But after a long time, he shook his head and said with a smile: "Maybe I am just confused. After all, the name 'Ye Xiaobao' is indeed very common. There are too many people calling this name in the world, so it feels familiar."

The boy in blue smiled, not taking it to heart, and waved to the next person to become his disciple.

The ladder to heaven is surrounded by fairy clouds, leading directly to the mountain gate. At the top, seven main peaks can be seen arranged in sequence, majestic and majestic. At this time, people are climbing up the ladder one after another. However, when Ye Chunyang stepped on the ladder to heaven, he discovered that there was amazing spiritual pressure on the ladder. , obviously to test the cultivation and endurance of the apprentice.

Ye Chunyang's heart moved. If it were any other test, that would be fine. Instead, it was based on spiritual pressure. Considering that he had cultivated Yuanshen, his spiritual consciousness was as strong as that of a mana monk, so this spiritual pressure was nothing to mention.

However, he naturally couldn't let others see his secret, otherwise even if he entered Tianqi Sect, he would never have peace in the future. Therefore, he did not use all his strength when walking, but walked slowly step by step.

The same is true for Mu Ling'er. I don't know if it's because of her special skills or something else. She walks on the ladder as if walking on flat ground without any panic. It's like walking in her own garden. She occasionally chats with Ye Chunyang. It's very pleasant. look.

Seeing this, Ye Chunyang couldn't help but think that since this woman was the apple of the Mu family's eye, and the ancestor of the Mu family was a powerful person in the pill formation stage, I'm afraid she had learned the true talent. But everyone has their own secrets, so Ye Chunyang naturally won't ask any more questions.

While walking, he also secretly sensed that at this time, the only few monks on the ladder had climbed to the mountain gate, and only the Qi Refining monks were left. He didn't care at the moment and continued to walk steadily.

As they were walking forward step by step, Ye Chunyang and Mu Ling'er suddenly heard a low laugh coming from in front of them, with a hint of arrogance in the words.

"Let me tell you, young master, I am the Zhou leader of Xutong Mountain. Taoist Master Zhenxu of Tianqi Sect Tianshu Peak is my fourth uncle. Today, young master came here to join him and worship at Tianshu Peak. It just so happens that you are waiting for me. Come here together to become my master, if you don’t obey my orders from now on, I can protect you from being bullied by others.”

The two of them felt strange. When they looked up, they saw a man in brocade clothes on the tenth level of Qi Refining on the ladder with his hands behind his back, his head held high and his chest held high. He looked down at the people below with a look of arrogance.

Behind this person, three or five monks lined up, blocking the ladder tightly. Their formation was obvious. If you wanted to pass by, you had to obey his will.

Many apprentices showed anger on their faces, but when they heard the man named Zhou mentioning the senior from Tianshu Peak, they all looked horrified. Most of the people present were at the seventh or eighth level of Qi Refining. How could they resist such a move? The majesty of the seniors.

What’s more, the followers beside the Zhou monk were all at the ninth or tenth level of Qi Refining, which was enough to surpass most of the people present. Even if they were dissatisfied, they did not dare to provoke him, and could only grit their teeth and curse in their place.

Moreover, Tianqimen has always had competition for apprenticeship. Before officially entering the mountain gate, Tianqimen will not interfere with it, and everyone is in a dilemma for a while.

Mu Linger waved her little fist, and a layer of frost covered her pretty face: "Hmph! What a fool, you dare to be arrogant at the Qi Refining stage. Do you think this Tianqimen is your home?"

Ye Chunyang glanced at the front, then looked at Mu Linger, and after a pause, he continued to move forward expressionlessly.

Seeing this, Mu Linger chuckled and followed without saying a word.

As the number of people seeking to become disciples increased, the area where the Zhou monks were intercepting had become very crowded. Everyone was angry, but they had heard of the name of the "Zhenxu Taoist Priest" of Tianshu Peak, and they were all very afraid. After all, they came here today to become disciples. This Taoist priest was a disciple of Tianshu Peak, and it was rumored that his cultivation had reached the late stage of foundation building. How could they dare to offend him?

But how could they obey this person, so the two sides were deadlocked here.

At this moment, some whispers suddenly came from the crowd, and some people turned back one after another, and saw a man and a woman following each other, walking steadily towards here.

Everyone looked at them, with surprise on their faces, and involuntarily separated to the sides, leaving a path in the middle for the two to pass through.

Ye Chunyang ignored the others, and seemed not to see the tigers blocking the road in front, and continued to move forward indifferently.

Mu Linger followed naturally.

Upon seeing this, the cultivator surnamed Zhou glanced at Mu Ling'er and saw her delicate appearance, his eyes could not help but brighten, but when his eyes fell on Ye Chunyang, his expression became cold.

The man in brocade clothes looked high and stared at Ye Chunyang with a teasing look: "Didn't you hear what I just said? If you want to pass by here, you must kowtow three times to this Taoist master and obey me from now on, otherwise you will never be able to climb Tianqimen today."

Ye Chunyang's breath was restrained and his face was expressionless.

He stopped, slowly raised his head, only glanced at the man in brocade clothes and then retracted it, spitting out two words: "Get out."

The cultivator surnamed Zhou was stunned, looked around, and said in astonishment: "The Taoist master didn't hear clearly just now, what did you say? Try to say it again?"

No one present had reached the foundation-building stage, and at most they had reached the tenth level of Qi Refining. Ye Chunyang and the other two were restrained and had profound merits. How could they find out the cultivation of the two? They just thought that the blind disciple wanted to provoke the majesty of the cultivator surnamed Zhou.

This time, Ye Chunyang hesitated. He frowned, tilted his head to look at Mu Linger beside him, and asked, "Wasn't what I said just now clear enough?"

Mu Linger nodded, and said with a serious face, "Very clear, you said let him go away."

"Looking for death!"

A trace of anger flashed in the eyes of the Zhou monk, but he looked at Mu Linger, smiled and said to the followers, "This female fairy is pretty, you can keep her as a concubine for this Taoist master, and throw the man out, it's an eyesore here."

When several followers heard this, they all looked ferocious and took a step forward.

Ye Chunyang's eyes turned cold. He didn't want to meddle in other people's business, and he didn't want to bother with these young people in the Qi Refining Stage. But the other party was so entangled, it was really annoying.

With a cold snort, he suddenly covered his body with green light, and layers of powerful spiritual energy spread out like raging waves. The faces of the Zhou monk and his followers changed wildly. In an instant, they felt dizzy and had a lot of illusions in front of their eyes. They seemed to vomit blood and faint. They were shocked by the breath and knelt on the ground.

"Plop!" "Plop!" "Plop!"

There were several muffled sounds in succession, and even the Zhou monk, who was still pretending to be powerful just a moment ago, was now pale. They knelt on the ground with stars in their eyes, unable to lift their heads, and only their bodies kept shaking.

"This person is actually a foundation-building monk!"

The Zhou monk's heart seemed to jump out, and his face was full of horror.

He didn't dare to look at Ye Chunyang and the others, and could only lie on the ground like a dead dog.

Ye Chunyang's expression did not change. With his cultivation level, he naturally would not have the same views as the cultivators in the Qi Refining period. He immediately walked past the crowd with steady steps and never said a word from beginning to end.

Everyone was stunned.

They never expected that this person was actually a senior in the foundation-building stage. Looking at his back, he unconsciously looked taller.

Seeing this scene, Mu Linger chuckled and didn't bother to argue with these low-level cultivators. She stepped directly over the face of the cultivator surnamed Zhou and followed Ye Chunyang's steps.

The cultivator surnamed Zhou looked up with a pale face, as if he saw a glimpse of the scenery under the skirt flashing before his eyes.
