Three days passed by in a flash, and soon it was the day when the Tianhe Sword Sect held its founding ceremony.
Tianhe Town is said to be at the foot of Tianhe Mountain, but in fact it is still more than ten miles away from the real Tianhe Mountain.
When a group of young people and girls who were preparing to attend the founding ceremony of the Tianhe Sword Sect and their family members arrived at Tianhe Mountain, they could not help but be shocked by the scenery in front of them.
The entire Tianhe Mountain is like a sharp sword, reaching up to the sky, thousands of miles high!
This kind of mountain peak is not naturally formed at all. It really looks like a huge divine sword stuck in the ground.
Not long after, the appointed time arrived, and more than a dozen streams of light descended from Tianhe Mountain and stopped in the sky not far away.
When the stream of light stopped, everyone saw clearly that they were clearly a dozen immortal masters wearing the costumes of Tianhe Sword Sect disciples and flying swords!
It can be seen that these dozen people are headed by a man and a woman at the front.
The man has sharp eyebrows and starry eyes, and has a gentle temperament, while the woman has bright and white teeth, but her eyebrows look extremely cold.
The man said calmly: "My name is Guan Qingzhi, and I am the senior brother of the inner sect. On behalf of the sect, thank you all for coming to the founding ceremony of our Tianhe Sword Sect!"
As he said that, he raised his hand.
Everyone hurriedly shouted things like "I don't dare", "I don't deserve the gift of an immortal master", "Immortal master is too polite" and so on.
Lando felt a little speechless. How could there be any meaning of 'thank you' in this condescending salute?
However, whether it was Guan Qingzhi himself, other disciples of the Tianhe Sword Sect, or these people who came, they all acted as if they were taking it for granted, and many of the latter felt flattered.
This can also reflect to a certain extent the actual status of immortality in Dayong!
"So, without further ado, let's get started!" Guan Qingzhi took out a colored crystal ball and said, "First of all, all those who fail will be eliminated!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a ray of light emitted from the colorful crystal ball, which instantly passed over everyone present.
Lando felt that when the light swept across, part of his information was captured by it.
Of course, what is captured is only the part he wants the other party to capture.
The next moment, Guan Qingzhi said: "This time our Tianhe Sword Sect will open its doors and only recruit boys and girls between the ages of twelve and sixteen. Those who are not enough and those who are more than enough can be invited back!"
Then, rays of light descended, and those elders who came with their family members, as well as those who tried to fish in troubled waters, left the team.
"No, Immortal Master! Immortal Master! I just turned sixteen today! I should be a qualified person! Immortal Master, don't let me be eliminated!"
"Master Immortal, please be more liberal. My Hao'er will be twelve years old in a few days. I beg you!"
"Immortal Master..."
People's joys and sorrows are not the same. Lando also saw, not far from him, a young man dressed as a servant, carrying a big bag and saluting, watching blankly as his young master was driven away, and he himself
, was left behind!
The master and the servant stared at each other like this for a few breaths, and then, their temperaments changed subtly at the same time.
Guan Qingzhi watched this scene calmly, with no intention of responding.
Although this was his first time hosting a founding ceremony, he already had a plan in mind because he had consulted the elders of his sect beforehand.
Situations like this happen every time there is a mountain opening ceremony. It is not new and there is no need to pay attention to it.
After eliminating the irrelevant and unqualified ones, and looking at the tens of thousands of remaining boys and girls, Guan Qingzhi revealed a smile.
He said: "In our Tianhe Sword Sect, the first priority is the mind, and the second priority is the bones. Therefore, if you want to join the sect through this opening ceremony, you need to pass two tests!"
After hearing Guan Qingzhi's words, many boys and girls showed doubts.
They all have a certain family heritage, and everyone around them tells them...
In immortality, the most important thing is qualifications. If you have excellent qualifications, your path of practice will be extremely smooth and your achievements will be higher!
On the contrary, those with low qualifications cannot even enter the Immortal Sect, and can only become vulgar martial arts!
Of course character is important, but it can also be grown and tempered. How could it be more important than innate qualifications?!
However, how could they, a small family, understand that for the Tianhe Sword Sect, if they want to change their bones and improve their qualifications, there are many skills and treasures!
If you perform well, the elders of the sect will be happy to reward you with one or two items. Even a person with mediocre abilities can turn into a genius monster in a short time!
On the contrary, the country is easy to change, but the nature is difficult to change. For the experts of Tianhe Sword Sect, the innate character and temperament are more important.
This is the difference in vision and the gap in values.
Guan Qingzhi said: "This first test..." He pointed to Tianhe Mountain behind him and continued: "...it is to climb up Tianhe Mountain!"
The boys and girls were quiet at first, and then in an uproar!
They couldn't see the end of the mountain on this day, and it was almost at a 90-degree right angle. How could they climb it?!
Mount Everest, the world's highest peak in Lando's previous life, was only 8,848 meters high, but even so, the bones of countless people who tried to conquer it were buried on it!
All the boys and girls looked at Guan Qingzhi with hesitation, shock, and disbelief.
Even if humans in the real world are physically strong, and even if many of these boys and girls have practiced martial arts, this is still an impossible task.
Guan Qingzhi said calmly: "Don't worry, there is an immortal formation on Tianhe Mountain that will suppress all other forces except Tianhe Sword Sect. Even if any of you have practiced martial arts or immortality, they will be suppressed to the level of ordinary people.
Don’t worry about unfairness!”
Boys and girls:......
Don't worry, they feel even more desperate!
Someone boldly asked: "Master Immortal, isn't this first level a test of your character? But this..."
Guan Qingzhi said: "You can't go back to the past without fear of life and death. You are not worthy of entering the immortal way! You are not worthy of being called a disciple of my Tianhe Sword Sect!"
Go forward indomitably? Not afraid of life and death?
Many people suddenly thought that if they stumbled and fell halfway up, wouldn't it be...
Someone asked this question tremblingly, wanting to know whether the immortal masters would save them then.
However, Guan Qingzhi looked dull and didn't bother to answer at all. He said directly: "Then, let's get started!"
Although it was said to start, all the young girls were hesitant and seemed to be waiting for others to take action.
Lando didn't care about this, chuckled lightly, and walked out from the crowd.
In the eyes of everyone who were either scrutinizing, mocking, jealous, or curious, I walked to the side of Tianhe Mountain.
Looking up, you can find that Tianhe Mountain looks almost 90 degrees, but it is only almost, there is still a certain tilt angle, although it has no practical significance.
Huh?
A strange thought suddenly popped into Lando's mind... From this angle, for some goat spirits, it might be as if they were walking on flat ground?!
He quickly erased these thoughts and continued to observe.
The surface of Tianhe Mountain is extremely rough and seems to be suitable for climbing.
He has also felt those immortal formations, and his powerful energy and blood that have reached the limit of eight blood exchanges seem to have completely disappeared.
As for something more in-depth...
The formation also includes illusions and recovery abilities, which can exert effects similar to... As long as he still unswervingly wants to move forward, he can continuously restore his physical strength and endurance.
But once it shakes, the recovery effect will be significantly weakened.
In addition, there are many formations that are used to manifest and amplify the thoughts and desires in the heart.
Lando speculated that the so-called climbing to the top of the mountain was just a way to scare them.
At such a height, for ordinary people, even if they have unlimited physical strength and do not eat or drink, they will not be able to reach the top in less than a year and a half.
After briefly understanding this, Lando no longer hesitated and started...
warm up!
Twist your waist, stretch your muscles, move your hands and feet...
The eyes of the young girls looking at him became more and more strange.
After about five minutes of activity, Lando stopped, just when everyone thought he was trying to pull something off again.
He jumped up to Tianhe Mountain and climbed up as fast as a monkey. He moved so fast that he climbed two to three hundred meters in almost a minute or two!
This gesture made many people's eyes light up, and they quickly left the crowd and joined the climbing ranks.
Tianhe Mountain is so big that even if tens of thousands of people spread out, it would only occupy an extremely small corner.
Almost as soon as the boys and girls climbed up, the gap was revealed...
Many people only climbed a few meters, but suffered backaches, limbs, and bodies with multiple scratches. When they looked up Tianhe Mountain, their hearts were suddenly filled with despair.
In their opinion, climbing up Tianhe Mountain is simply an impossible task. Maybe the Tianhe Sword Sect doesn't intend to recruit disciples at all, so it uses this method to make them quit!
The more they thought about it, the more helpless and angry they became. So, after finding enough reasons, they chose to give up with peace of mind.
In their opinion, since the Tianhe Sword Sect does not intend to recruit disciples, then all the efforts they are doing must be in vain. They are still laughing at the 'idiots' who are working hard for not overestimating their own abilities. Although they dare not say it clearly, they still say it in their words.
The implication behind the words is that it is simply impossible to climb Tianhe Mountain!
The easy giving up of these people really affected the judgment of many people. Some people also chose to give up after hesitating for a long time. Although some people did not give up, they were already shaken in their hearts and could not get the support of the Tianhe Mountain formation. They had no physical strength at all.
Support yourself and climb up!
Therefore, as soon as this first test started, more than 95% of the boys and girls were eliminated. In the end, only less than a thousand people were able to climb up unswervingly!
Looking at the climbers who were getting farther and farther away and gradually disappearing from sight, the expressions of the boys and girls below were either confused, envious, longing, jealous, or resentful... just to name a few.
Many people seem to be inspired to climb again, but very few succeed.
The mountain is high and I don’t know the way, and I don’t remember the years when I climb.
As if it was just a trance, they crawled for a long, long time, maybe a few days, maybe dozens of days!
During the climb, although they ignored hunger and exhaustion, the environment became worse and worse...
Some people find that they have no way forward while they are crawling. It seems that they made some mistakes at the beginning, and now it is difficult to turn back, so they can only choose to retreat.
Some people encountered wind, frost, rain, dew, thunderstorms, and it was a bumpy road, and they could only grit their teeth and endure it.
From time to time, some people will see scenes of other climbers slipping and falling. The confusion and fear flashing in the latter's eyes are enough to shock the soul!
However, these are nothing. What really makes everyone feel desperate is... there is no end!
They looked down and saw an endless abyss of darkness. Looking up, they saw an endless road ahead. It seemed that no matter how hard they climbed, they would never reach the end!
If there is no end to the road ahead, doesn't it mean that no matter how high they climb, the final result will only be...fall?!
It’s just a matter of how long they can struggle!
Under such various blows, many people can no longer strengthen their beliefs and begin to waver.
However, once it falters, the original blessing power will suddenly weaken or even disappear, and the road to climb will become even more out of reach!
On the top of Tianhe Mountain, Tianhe Sword Sect.
As the leader of the entire Dayong Immortal Sect, the Tianhe Sword Sect is naturally extremely prosperous.
In addition to the main peak at the top of Tianhe Mountain, there are twelve sword peaks floating around the main peak.
Each Sword Peak has its own advantages and expertise, but without exception, each Sword Peak is extremely powerful. Even if taken alone, it is not weaker than many large immortal sects!
At this time, the peak masters from all the peaks gathered at the main peak. After all, it was the opening ceremony of the mountain once in a hundred years. With the convergence of luck, one or two good seedlings might be born.
At the same time, this is also a rare gathering of the Tianhe Sword Sect’s senior officials.
The spirit fruit fairy wine is mouth-watering, and the excitement becomes even more intense as you sip and drink it.
The master of Yijian Peak suggested: "Everyone, the first test has already begun for some time. Why don't we see the performance of the little guys?"
The master of Xingjian Peak smiled and said: "Good!"
Then he waved his hand and scattered large swaths of starlight. These starlights continued to combine and deform in the sky, and finally formed a huge picture, reflecting the situation of young girls climbing Tianhe Mountain.
Almost instantly, all the senior officials of Tianhe Sword Sect present were attracted by the figure leading the way.
In a short period of time, the distance he climbed was more than ten times that of others!
Although the test of this first level is not based on distance, winning or losing is not judged by distance, but being able to open such a big gap with others in such a short period of time is enough to show that it is excellent!
Everyone looked intently and saw a handsome young man with a rich spirit, who was running fast on the Tianhe Mountain like a spiritual ape.
What made everyone even more amazed was that the young man's eyes were firm and pure, without any impurities. Any difficulties and obstacles encountered on the road would not linger in his eyes at all!
It’s like once you lock a goal, you will move forward and never give up!
An idea occurred in everyone's mind at the same time...
