Episode 64

  The body's strength has reached its peak, light as a swan feather, powerful like a dragon elephant. High Master Wu Xun has already reached the pinnacle of his physical form, so he is as light as nothing, and can carry others on his back to climb up. Although it looks dangerous, it's actually quite easy! In just an instant, they've already reached the summit. Above, there's a forest with dozens of ancient trees, their trunks twisted and gnarled, some dead and leafless, others full of life. The trees are home to spiritual birds that flit about, while below, the dense foliage blocks out the sun. A gentle breeze stirs, clouds drift lazily by, a faint mist arises from thin air, and the scent of greenery wafts up, refreshing the spirit! Truly, the atmosphere is clear and the forest is secluded, the scenery is beautiful and the colors are extraordinary!

  "Feng Shidi, go straight ahead!"

  Elder Brother Gao saw that there were only two of them and found it strange in this scenic place, and smiled slightly, saying:

  "Brother, hold on tight!"

  Insufficient to take big strides, moving forward, only a few hundred feet out of the forest. Suddenly, the sky opens up! The pink clouds show golden halos like purple mist, in the distance, floating high above the sky is a magnificent palace with golden and jade splendor, radiant for thousands of miles, forming a small world of its own. Upon closer inspection, a staircase leads directly into the clouds, winding and twisting all the way to the palace. Insufficient's face is shocked, as if in a dream.

  "Stairway to Heaven?"

  "Feng Shidi, you haven't seen this kind of thing from the immortal's family before, have you? This is normal! In this immortal realm, only our Yi Xiu sect has it, other families don't!"

  Gao Wuyou smiled proudly and said.

  "Oh! I've only read about it in books, but I never actually saw it. So the Heavenly Ladder is really like this!"

  Only saw the ladder to the sky, level by level towards the distant clouds, and each step was floating alone in the air, with no connection between them. Each step was less than a foot wide and only three feet long, with each step being the same length and width. Before I could turn my head, I saw Chang'er staring at me in surprise, and said:

  "Chang'er, don't be afraid, the heavenly ladder is even sturdier than flat ground. Look at that person coming!"

  Not enough to say, he had already turned his back and was walking up the stairs. One step at a time, the steps swayed slightly, not enough to startle him, yet he continued to climb. He walked only a few steps, but it was as stable as walking on flat ground. Chang Er also happily followed Not Enough, gradually disappearing into the clouds.

  The surroundings were filled with colorful clouds and mist, making it difficult to discern the path. The steps beneath my feet continued to sway as if they were still in motion. My weak cultivation was restricted by the grand formation of this land, preventing me from releasing my gaze to observe objects afar. Thus, I could only rely on my senses to proceed, and after walking for a short while, the clouds suddenly dispersed, revealing a vast platform before me. On it stood a magnificent palace, with a massive gate at its entrance, several dozen meters high and hundreds of meters wide. To the left of the gate stood a golden figure, over ten meters tall, grasping a spear as if guarding the place. Upon closer inspection, I realized it was a golden armored beast, crafted by a skilled artisan using sacred materials and infused with the soul of a divine creature, allowing it to move freely and possess combat abilities far surpassing those of ordinary cultivators.

  Enter the main gate, a hall is tens of meters high, square and simple. It stands on a high platform, with dozens of steps below, climbing up to the platform, a white jade path leads directly to the grand hall. On both sides of the hall are several ancient buildings and elegant pavilions. Each has a unique style. Not enough to feel that the interior is vastly different from the outside world, the golden light is dazzling, and it's hard not to look up at the sky. But then you see that the sky is actually golden!

  "Insufficient elder brother, is this the Yi Xiu Immortal Mansion?"

  "Ah! You're like a junior sister, this place is where I cultivate my immortal abode. Inside, the primordial energy of heaven and earth is dense, and the speed of cultivation far surpasses that of the outside world!"

  "It's really true! The ancient repair is far beyond our imagination!"

  Sighing and lamenting, saying:

  "Feng Shidi, put me down! Thanks a lot!"

  "Yes, Senior High."

  "You're like a younger sister to me, you two come with me to see our master uncle!"

  "Hmm!"

  Chang'er glanced around while responding casually.

  "Senior Gao, why are there so few people in this place?"

  "Feng Shidi, this place is a crucial location for our sect. Ordinary disciples may only come here once or twice in their lifetime! You and the others coming to the temple this time to pay respects, perhaps it's because you refused to yield to Lei'zi that you've caught the attention of the higher-ups!"

  "You're just lucky! Where's the real deal?"

  As they spoke, they entered the grand hall, which was as spacious as a martial arts arena. In the center stood a colossal statue of a middle-aged man, over 30 feet tall! In front of the statue was an offering table about 10 feet high and over 40 feet long, with exotic fruits and flowers arranged on it. A incense burner stood in the middle, about 8 feet high, emitting a gentle mist of fragrance that lingered deeply and far away. Under the offering table was another platform, about 5 feet high, roughly 10 to 20 feet in diameter. On top of it sat a large chair, upon which sat an old man in white robes, his eyes gleaming brightly as he stared at the two people who were insufficient. To either side were several chairs, but on the left side sat a middle-aged man with a gentle appearance, while the other seats were empty. The two of them quickly pulled Yan'er to kneel down and pay their respects.

  "It's all right! Get up!"

  In the middle of the hall, the warm and gentle way is not enough for two people to stand up, with hands hanging down in respect.

  "Are you badly hurt?"

  "Reporting back to Master Uncle, your disciple can still hold on!"

  "Hmm! That young man with the Thunderbolt Technique does have some ability. However, it's hard for you to withstand even one of his attacks. Are you two the ones who were recommended by someone to come and train under me?"

  "Yes!"

  Insufficient answer.

  "I heard that you actually blocked the Thunderbolt's one-hit knockout blow, is this true?"

  "Yes! That's him underestimating someone! Someone is just lucky!"

  "Hmm!"

  "Master Palm Gate, this Feng Cheng has a letter for our Third Master!"

  "Present!"

  "Yes!"

  Gao Wuyou handed over the letter with both hands. His previous actions were still limping and stumbling.

  "Unexpectedly being struck by a thunderbolt is no trivial matter!"

  "Hmm, Hai Tian Ge's Master Yue is indeed something. His disciples are all arrogant. On the other hand, my Yi Xiu Sect has been managed by my third junior brother for nearly a hundred years, and our disciples have always been very respectful of the law!"

  "Master's praise is undeserved! I'm ashamed and dare not accept it."

  "Oh! This letter is for you, take a look, younger brother!"

  "Yes, senior brother."

  Insufficiently tense staring at the middle-aged man beside him on the stage, it turned out that this person was actually Ye Wen Tian.

  "Oh! Elder brother, these two children are actually people entrusted by old friends who have joined our sect. Please decide their fate."

  "Hmm! Since it's a request from an old friend and junior fellow apprentice, I'll take him in as my disciple then!"

  "Thank you, Master! Thank you, Teacher!"

  Insufficient, La pulled out a moon daughter again knocked her head, and again curtsied, busy can't open the intersection.

  "Oh Lord, when did I ever look down on you, yet receive such punishment! I've crossed the tribulations and cultivated, but only managed to attain a tiny bit of insignificant cultivation!"

  Chang'er secretly scolded in her heart. After the two of them finished paying their respects, she cleverly stood behind Ye Wen Tian with her head bowed and eyes cast down.

  "How could Wu Yu's Thunderbolt Attack possibly harm you?"

  "Returning to Master Bei, the magical powers of the Thunderbolt Sages are not much greater than mine, but why is it that their application of magic tools is so successful, while my disciples cannot resist?"

  "What's the law?"

  "It was a wolf-shaped magical instrument, the sound it produced confused people's hearts and souls. My magic couldn't resist, I was struck by its wolf-shaped object and heavily injured again by its repeated thunderous blows. The Saint Sword Gate's Judge Wang had already declared my victory, but that guy still came at me with another soul-searching strike to my disciple's dantian, causing severe injury and unconsciousness. When my disciple woke up, Master had already rescued me; otherwise, I would have lost my life."

  As soon as they heard the wolf-shaped artifact, Master Shi Bo and Ye Wen Tian exchanged a glance. They remained silent until Gao Wu Yu finished speaking. With just a wave of his hand, a black light flashed by, and an object fell into Gao Wu Yu's hands. Before he could even take a good look at it, he knew it was a celestial pill.

  "Let's take them both down first."

  "Yes!"

  He bowed and backed out.

  They came out of the grand hall, but it wasn't enough to excite Chang'er. Pulling High Master to sit outside in a cool pavilion, she kept asking this and that. Gao Wuyou was also very happy, carefully explaining the affairs of the sect. Meanwhile, the two people inside the hall were worried and anxious.

  "Junior brother, this wolf-shaped vessel must be the Howling Moon Wolf! The Sea Sky Pavilion has bestowed the treasure of the Town Faction to our sect for use. Could it be that their treasured offspring has been born?"

  "It's possible that if this treasure appears, the ten sects will no longer have a peaceful day!"

  "Hmm! We should also make early preparations, lest when the time comes, we'll be caught off guard."

  "Yes! Older brother!"

  "Disciple brother, you go and make arrangements, then inform big sister afterwards, be careful in your response!"

  "Yes!"

  Watching Ye Wen Tian go out, the master of Yi Xiu Men frowned slightly and flicked an object in his hand. It was a magic talisman. The object flashed in the wind and transformed into a blue bird that suddenly disappeared. Its speed far surpassed that of ordinary magic talismans for transmitting messages!
