Chapter 14 Zhou Ming’s Dream (6) Ascension to Immortality
This is a mountain with an unremarkable appearance.
Zhou Ming led dozens of children and climbed step by step from the foot of the mountain to the top.
The mountain breeze gently caressed my cheeks, bringing with it a slight chill.
In the lonely night sky, sparse stars flickered.
As if it was summer, the warm wind blew slowly, bringing the fragrance of the lush forests in the mountains.
The sound of the gurgling mountain stream, the rustle of the wind passing through the mountains and forests, and the singing of the nightingale are all mixed together to form a picture of nature that does not need to be modified with any words.
Standing on the top of the mountain, feeling the fresh fragrance of grass and trees in the mountain breeze, even though these children were exhausted and sweating profusely, they couldn't help but feel relaxed and happy at this moment, and their spirits were uplifted.
"Ahead is the starboard chess game set by Master Yuanshi Immortal himself." Zhou Ming looked at the group of children, his voice still cold.
"I rescued you from the orcs, and you have the qualifications to practice. I brought you here. I hope you can get the personal teachings of the Immortal Master, learn stronger skills, and avenge your dead relatives.
"
The children who were swept by his gaze tensed their bodies unconsciously, with solemn faces, looking at him seriously and excitedly.
Zhou Ming's eyes finally stayed on the face of a girl with a beautiful face, pursed lips, and a calm expression for a few seconds, and then moved away.
This girl was one of the children he rescued from the orcs last time, and she was also the one he felt was the most extraordinary.
Since the Yuanshi Immortal Lord created the sect system and established the Heavenly Court, he has placed astrolabes in many places, announcing to the world that as long as there are humans who can make six moves in a row on the starboard chess game, they can become his direct disciples.
This is not the first group of children that Zhou Ming has sent up the mountain to play the starboard chess game. In the past few years, he has gone through many alien forces and saved many human beings. He has sent young children with Gu master qualifications up again and again, but he has always failed.
No one can pass the Star Board chess game.
After rescuing the children last time and meeting the girl, Zhou Ming suddenly had a hunch in his heart that maybe the girl was the one who could walk through the Star Board chess game.
So not long after, Zhou Ming took these dozens of children and climbed to the top of the mountain again.
"Go ahead, you all go up and try."
As Zhou Ming stretched out his hand to point out, the children looked around and saw the famous starboard chess game.
The astrolabe chess game is carved on a huge, flat boulder.
On the stone surface, there are lines, which are either cross-cut, vertical or diagonal.
Whenever the breeze blows, traces of blue stars will flash on these lines.
The children looked at this mysterious chessboard, and with a bit of fear and expectation, they boarded the board one after another.
Suddenly, the stars on the astrolabe appeared directly through their eyes and appeared in their minds.
Those threads of stars suddenly expanded into streets. And the children were surrounded by stars, and they had become chess pieces, stopping in the intertwined network of these star roads.
Soon, some children stopped moving forward, and some even fainted on the spot.
But there are still children who are struggling to support themselves and take a step forward with difficulty.
Just the first step, more than half of the children fell down.
In the second step, 90% of the remaining children fell down, leaving only three children standing.
In the third step, the other two children passed out, leaving only the little girl Zhou Ming was optimistic about. Although she was sweating profusely, her hair was messy, and she was panting, she still stood and tried hard to take another step.
One step, one step, and another.
When the little girl walked through the sixth step, everyone was quiet, and even the mountain wind seemed to have stopped at this moment.
On the contrary, the little girl, after walking six steps, all the pressure disappeared. She raised her head and looked at Zhou Ming with some confusion.
"OK, successful!"
I don’t know which child shouted first, and then more cheers sounded.
"You succeeded! You really succeeded!"
"Great, you can become a disciple of Master Xianzun and learn the real skills!"
"Study hard, become stronger, and take revenge!"
The children cheered, jumped and screamed uncontrollably, celebrating the little girl.
Zhou Ming was also very happy. He sent so many people up, and finally one person succeeded, which made him happy.
They waited on the mountain for several hours before Yuanshi Immortal Lord arrived. Since the Immortal Lord could set up a starboard chess game, he could certainly sense someone passing by.
He accepted the little girl as his disciple on the spot and wanted to take everyone with him to heaven.
Zhou Ming hopes that Yuanshi Immortal Lord will bring the other people he rescued to Heaven. Of course, it is impossible for all those people to follow and live in the settlement established by Zhou Ming.
However, he himself declined the Immortal Lord's invitation.
The Immortal Lord was curious and asked Zhou Ming why. Zhou Ming could not answer and only said: "I have my own way to go."
In fact, Zhou Ming himself did not know why he rejected the Immortal Lord. He just had a vague resistance to Heaven in his heart. He didn't even know where this resistance came from. He just chose to follow his own heart.
The Immortal Master did not force him. He took everyone away and left Zhou Ming a book on his ascension to immortality, which was written by the Immortal Master himself. He hoped that Zhou Ming could successfully overcome the calamity and become an immortal, change his mind and join the Heavenly Court.
Taking the Notes on Ascension to Immortality, Zhou Ming left the deserted settlement.
He continued to travel around, killing aliens, saving humans, encountering alien masters several times, and narrowly escaped death, and his strength continued to improve. As long as the alien Gu Immortals did not take action, he would not be without the ability to fight back.
He also always studied the Immortal Ascension Notes left by the Immortal Lord. This Immortal Ascension Notes was indeed written by the Immortal Lord himself. It not only recorded in detail the three steps of the Gu Master's ascension to immortality, but also the situations that may be encountered in each step.
The key points, as well as many answers to questions and answers on spiritual practice, can be said to be a high-level guide, every word is precious, and it is of great value.
Year after year, Zhou Ming continued to overcome difficulties in cultivation, gradually improving his cultivation, and finally reached the peak of the fifth level.
Standing at the pinnacle of mortals, he is a perfect fifth-level Gu insect, and with his own swordsmanship, he has achieved great fame in bloody battles.
Even many Gu Immortals knew Zhou Ming's name, and there were even some alien Gu Immortals who wanted to deal with him personally because their descendants or people they valued were killed by him.
But in the end, these Gu Immortals either did not take action due to some reasons, or they did take action but encountered an accident and encountered the help of human Gu Immortals, or Zhou Ming escaped death by luck because of the favorable location and the right time.
When Zhou Ming was seventy years old, he finally felt that he had no progress. Both his realm and combat power were limited by his cultivation. He had reached the limit of what he could achieve, and he had done everything to overcome the tribulation and ascend to immortality.
Prepare.
So, one day, on the top of a bare short mountain, Zhou Ming resolutely broke his body and began to ascend to immortality.
