35: Shi Tian, Shi Wanhuo!
"Good, then we shall open the mountain to recruit Disciples in one month!"
"Yes!"
"Zhuge, from now on, you will be the Vice Sect Master!"
Hearing this, Nether Abyss and the others looked at Zhuge Ming meaningfully.
This was a good deal!
Then Zhuge Ming was dumbfounded.
"Sect Master, there's more to your words than meets the eye!"
"Not at all!"
Lin Daoyuan's eyes darted around.
Hearing this, Zhuge Ming was helpless.
"Sect Master, do you want to be a hands-off manager already?"
Zhuge Ming narrowed his eyes; he knew Lin Daoyuan. If it didn't mean that, what else could it be!
"Nonsense! Alright, alright, disperse, disperse!"
Lin Daoyuan coughed.
Zhuge Ming was helpless; who told him to be the Lord.
Su Qingli smiled speechlessly at Lin Daoyuan, and then Lin Daoyuan met Su Qingli's eyes. In the next second, he quickly looked away!
Su Qingli grit her teeth and left first with a wave of her sleeve. Then, everyone else left as well.
Only Lin Daoyuan sat in the main seat with a gloomy face.
"System?"
[What is it, Host?]
"Nothing!"
[Hmph, coward!]
Then, within a few days, a piece of news that shocked the East Domain spread far and wide!
The Changqing Immortal Sect, formerly of the Canglan Mountain Range, will open its gates to recruit Disciples in one month!
This news undoubtedly sprouted in people's hearts like bamboo shoots after rain. The young men and women who had been searching for the Changqing Immortal Sect suddenly had a direction!
Canglan Mountain Range!
But why does it feel so familiar?
At this moment, the Demon Spirit Palace was the most excited. Good for you, Changqing Immortal Sect, to actually be hiding in the Canglan Mountain Range!
However, hasn't the Canglan Mountain Range always been occupied by that Supreme Azure Dragon?
Could it be that it has been subdued?
"How is that possible!"
"Send someone to check it out? I want to know if this news is true!"
"Yes, Demon Lord!"
At this time, on the outskirts of the Canglan Mountain Range, a young man in white, drenched in blood, was fleeing rapidly through the dense forest.
"Teacher, what should we do now?"
"Your current physical condition is no longer suitable for fighting with my power, otherwise you will explode and die!"
"Dammit, is there really no other way?"
The young man grit his teeth, his eyes full of unyielding spirit!
At this moment, one dark shadow after another was seen rushing towards the youth from behind.
"The Canglan Mountain Range is ahead. Enter it, and perhaps there will be a glimmer of hope!"
The voice in the youth's mind said.
Hearing this, the young man looked at the mountain range ahead that seemed to have no end in sight.
He grit his teeth and went for it! My great revenge has not been avenged; I cannot die here!
"Xiao Tian, do not be afraid. Although the Canglan Mountain Range is said to be teeming with Yao Beasts, as long as you find a secret place on the outskirts to hide, there won't be any problems!"
"I understand, Teacher!"
Then, the youth suddenly erupted with a flame-like power, transforming into a streak of fire and charging straight into the Canglan Mountain Range!
The dark shadows behind him immediately stopped upon seeing this.
"Canglan Mountain Range, he escaped into the Canglan Mountain Range!"
"Hmph, a mere Foundation Establishment Mid-stage. Entering is certain death. It saves us some trouble; we can go back and report to the Young Miss!"
Then, several dark shadows disappeared from the spot simultaneously!
At this moment, several black-robed figures appeared in the Void Realm.
"Sima Family? Why would they appear here?"
"Don't worry about it. Completing the Demon Lord's mission is what matters!"
Then, those black-robed people looked at the Canglan Mountain Range that reached into the clouds, took a deep breath, and flew in!
Back to the youth's side, the white-clothed youth was a bit shocked. He looked at the Heavenly Stairway before him that reached into the clouds, and for a moment, a piece of news came back to him.
Canglan Mountain Range, Changqing Immortal Sect... the immortal sect that the East Domain is talking about with great interest is really here! Isn't this the territory of that legendary Supreme Realm Azure Dragon?
But at this moment, there was no time for him to think.
"Xiao Tian, there's no way back now."
"Teacher, let's just treat a dead horse as if it were alive!"
The white-clothed youth said, looking at the Heavenly Stairway that reached into the clouds.
"Xiao Tian, you want to...?"
Then, the white-clothed youth began to climb. But at the very first step, the youth was stunned because he found that the moment he stepped onto the Heavenly Stairway, all of his spiritual power and cultivation disappeared!
"This path is extraordinary, Xiao Tian. It seems to be testing some kind of willpower. Hold on!"
Hearing this, the youth clenched his fists. Climbing with a Mortal's body? I, Shi Tian, can do it just the same!
At this moment, a pair of deep eyes opened in the Void Realm.
"Sect Master, this?"
"It's fine, let him climb. Although the time is set for a month later, it doesn't matter!"
"Yes, it's also a good chance to test this Heavenly Stairway of mine and Yu Chen's!"
As the youth named Shi Tian climbed higher, cold sweat poured down more and more.
This Heavenly Stairway! So strange!
Shi Tian discovered that after a hundred steps, the higher he climbed, every step contained an illusion! It could evoke the place you feared most in your heart! Also, it tested the things that could most easily shake you!
"Haha, Shi Tian, you are just a piece of trash. How could you be worthy of me!"
"Sima Qinger, you can humiliate me, but why did you kill my entire family!"
"Your father wouldn't break the engagement, so I could only kill him!"
"And you, you must die too!"
"You! So ruthless!"
"Qinger, don't waste your breath on him. Cripple him!"
"You pair of bastards, you won't die well! I, Shi Tian, swear that if I don't kill you, I am not human!"
"Ah! Die for me!"
At the five-hundredth step, Shi Tian suddenly stopped, his whole body emitting a thick Evil Qi, as if he were about to fall into madness.
"Xiao Tian, wake up, wake up!"
The voice in Shi Tian's mind was incredibly anxious.
"Xiao Tian!"
"This little old man is a bit noisy!"
Chen Mingdao in the Void Realm said impatiently. Then he hooked his finger, and in Shi Tian's mind, an illusory figure was forcibly hooked out and brought before Chen Mingdao.
That phantom was greatly shocked! He was a super powerhouse of the Star Venerable Realm; how could he be sensed by someone!
When he saw Chen Mingdao sitting nearby in the Void Realm, the phantom was instantly terrified. He couldn't see through him, he couldn't see through him at all!
"Senior!"
"Shh, don't be noisy. Let's see if that kid can pass this trial!"
Hearing this, the phantom seemed to understand.
"Senior, could you be...!"
"That's right. This seat is a member of the Changqing Immortal Sect!"
Hearing this, the phantom also quieted down, looking at Shi Tian who was struggling in pain on the Heavenly Stairway below, his face full of worry.
Please don't lose yourself, Xiao Tian!
After a while, Shi Tian opened his eyes and knelt on the Heavenly Stairway, exhausted.
"Such an illusion, don't even think about trapping me!"
"Teacher! Teacher!"
After calling out to the old man repeatedly and finding no response, he grit his teeth and looked at the Heavenly Stairway ahead that still had no end in sight.
He steeled his heart.
I must persevere. Perhaps this is the chance to change my fate. How can I stop here!
"He certainly has a story!"
"And he has an Endless Divine Fire Body!"
Chen Mingdao chuckled. At this time, several figures appeared beside Chen Mingdao as well.
Yu Chen, Ye Kong, Ye Kong, Ling Tian, and Li Danqing.
Seeing the newcomers, Chen Mingdao began to chat with them.
"By the way, Old Li, you've been traveling outside all these years. Haven't you found any Disciples you like?"
"Haha, this old man has been listening to plays, fishing, and storytelling in the Mortal world, and hasn't found any good seeds. However, I have a slight feeling that in this Disciple Recruitment Assembly, there will be some!"
This scared the phantom old man so much that he didn't dare to move at all!
Heavens, where on earth has he ended up? How can there be so many terrifying existences!
Afterwards, the others also noticed the phantom.
"This is...?"
"This is that kid's teacher!"
Chen Mingdao pointed at Shi Tian, who was struggling to climb below, and smiled.
Hearing this, the phantom no longer dared to be negligent.
"This old man, Shi Wanhua, pays his respects to all Seniors!"
"A remnant soul of the Star Venerable Realm, interesting!"
Ye Kong laughed.
Then everyone looked at Shi Tian again, wanting to see what he was ultimately capable of. They also saw through Shi Tian's Physique; it shouldn't be too bad!
"What was the classification of Disciples stipulated by the Sect Master and Zhuge?"
Dugu Jianyi asked.
"It seems to be: four hundred to seven hundred layers are Handyman Disciples, seven hundred to eight hundred are Outer Sect Disciples, eight hundred to nine hundred are Inner Sect Disciples, nine hundred to nine hundred and fifty are Core Disciples, and nine hundred and fifty to nine hundred and ninety-nine are True Inheritance Disciples! Of course, that's excluding the Disciples we take a fancy to."
