On this day, Zhan Chen received a summons to summon the jade plaque and summoned him to discuss important matters. He already knew this in his mind. According to the gathering time, he rushed to the meeting hall and saw Ling Xiao Tianqiu Wuya already waiting there.
He hurriedly stepped forward and saluted, saying: Zhan Chen pays homage to Sect Leader Ling.
Ling Xiaotian said to Zhan Chen, the reply from Xuan Dao Sect has arrived, and they asked you to leave for Xuan Dao Sect immediately to discuss the important matter of fighting against Mo Luo Sect.
Great, the wait is finally here.
Yes, it's a pity that Xuan Dao Sect is far away and I'm busy with my affairs, so I can't go there with you, so I'll let Qiu Wuya lead the way for you this time. Go back as soon as possible.
Yes. Zhan Chen and Qiu Wuya both understood the answer. So they set off after a short rest. They went north along the road, climbing over mountains and ridges, crossing rivers and crossing rivers. Both of them had the cultivation of Emperor Wu.
The journey was very fast, and it only took about twenty days to arrive at Lake Unzen, a large and sparkling lake that stretches as far as the eye can see.
Here Qiu Wuya stopped, smiled at Zhan Chen and said: Zhan Chen, we are here.
Zhan Chen wondered: Elder Qiu, where is the mountain gate of Xuan Dao Sect?
Qiu Wuya pointed in the distance toward a looming mountain island shrouded in clouds and mist in the middle of the lake, and said: Look, it's Unzen Island right there.
You mean the seat of Gento Sect is on Unzen Island
Yes, the mountain gate is built in the middle of the lake, so it is easy to defend but difficult to attack. If outsiders want to go to Xuandao Sect, they can only go by boat.
Zhan Chen nodded silently and couldn't wait to board the island and have a glimpse of the Xuan Dao Sect.
Qiu Wuya then led him to Unxian Town. Unxian Town is on the edge of Unxian Lake and is the closest place to Unxian Island. Every day, many people who want to try their luck in immortality come to the town.
, over time, a huge area was developed. It is called a town, but in fact, its scale has long exceeded that of an ordinary big city.
The town is lined with buildings, streets and markets, practitioners come and go, and traffic is busy, creating a prosperous scene.
Qiu Wuya and Zhan Chen passed directly through Unxian Town and arrived at Unxiandu. From here, you can take a boat to Unxian Island.
When the two came to the ferry, they saw a lot of small boats parked there, covering the lake. There were so many people coming and going on the shore, it was so busy and lively, but what surprised Zhan Chen was that Qiu Wuya didn't
Go up and ask about the boats crossing the river.
He couldn't help but become curious and asked: Elder Qiu, there are boats here. Why don't we rent one and cross the lake?
Qiu Wuya smiled slightly and said: Zhan Chen, you don't know that ordinary ships are not allowed to approach Unxian Island.
oh
It is not easy to get to Unzen Island. You can only cross it by taking a boat from the Gendo Sect. There are usually only two boats running between Unzen To and Unzen Island every day. There are also restrictions on the number of people who can board the boat.
Those who are above the level of martial master must pay 5,000 high-grade Yuan Stones for shipping. This blocks the way for most ordinary warriors. Only warriors with strong strength or warriors with certain assets will be allowed to enter.
I see.
But even so, people who want to seek immortality and visit Taoism are still flocking to it. Every year, the number of people who go to Unzen Island is like a crucian carp crossing the river. Because only by going to Unzen Island, can you have the opportunity to join Xuan Dao Sect. Xuan Dao Sect entrance examination
It is held every ten years, and it is only for the warriors on Unzen Island.
Zhan Chen was thinking, however, that entering Unxian Island and the entrance examination are equivalent to two sieves. Those who can pass through the layers of screening must be the strongest among the strong. This is completely different from the low-threshold method of entry of the Demono Sect.
Seems to be taking the elite route.
Not long after, a luxuriously decorated treasure ship appeared in their sight. At this time, the surrounding area became lively, and many people rushed to the shore to watch from a distance, pointing, and talking. Zhan Chen heard the news around him
The two people were talking about Xuan Dao Sect.
Look at the Xuan Dao Sect's treasure ship coming.
Yes, landing on that island is like stepping into the gate of Xuan Dao Sect. If I can get there, I will definitely become an outer disciple.
Hey, just you, even if you are sent to the opposite side, it is impossible to pass the entrance examination. I heard that the entrance examination of Xuan Dao Sect is very strict, and only a thousand people can pass it each time.
Do you know that even if you practice on Unzen Island, the effect will be much better than here? I heard that there is a large spirit gathering formation operating on the mountain, making the spiritual energy of the entire island more than ten times richer. I want to do it here.
After practicing there for a few years, your cultivation level will definitely increase a lot.
That's true, but have you ever heard a sentence
What words
A rising tide lifts all boats. If you make rapid progress over there, others will stop moving forward. In the end, you still won't be able to choose.
you
At this moment, the treasure ship docked, and three disciples dressed in Xuan Dao Sect costumes stepped out of the ship. Each of them was full of energy, strong, and had the cultivation of King Wu. They said to the crowd: "We are going to get on the treasure ship."
Everyone should come here and line up. Everyone should know the rules. People who join us for the first time on Unzen Island must first
You must have a cultivation level of Martial Lord or above, and then you must pay an entry fee of 5,000 high-grade Yuan Stones. Of course, we will not accept your Yuan Stones in vain. As long as you pay the money, we will give each of you a cloud.
Xian Jade Card, with this jade card, everyone can travel freely between the two sides of the Taiwan Strait without paying any fees.
After hearing this, Zhan Chen couldn't help but nodded silently. If he had to pay 5,000 high-grade yuan stones every time he entered the island, then I'm afraid no one would be willing to do it.
Next, everyone got on the boat in an orderly manner under the guidance of the three disciples. Some of them showed their jade tokens; some handed over the yuan stones, and then happily received their tokens from the disciples and got on the boat.
Of course, there were a few who wanted to fish in troubled waters, but they were ruthlessly blocked by the three disciples, and no matter how much they begged for mercy, it was useless.
It was Qiu Wuya and Zhan Chen's turn. Qiu Wuya took out a letter directly, handed it to them, and said: We are from Lanfeng Sect, and were invited by your sect leader Xuan Haoran to come here to pay a special visit.
The three of them unfolded the letter and saw that it was actually the signature of the sect master. They hurriedly said: "You two distinguished guests, please come on board."
So Zhan Chen and Qiu Wuya boarded the treasure ship. After a while, the ship began to leave the shore and headed towards the center of the lake.
Zhan Chen walked to the side of the boat and looked towards the center of the lake, and was immediately overwhelmed by the scene in front of him. The closer he got, the more he could feel the magnificence of Unzen Island. The mountains on the island overlap one another, reaching straight into the clouds, like a ladder to the sky.
Pillar of the Sky. There are towns surrounded by mountains at the foot of the mountain. The houses in them are so densely packed that there are probably millions of people living in them.
Such a scale can no longer be described as a simple island. It is more like a country and a paradise for warriors.
After a while, the boat docked, and Zhan Chen followed the crowd off the boat and headed directly to the mountains in the center of the island, where the Xuan Dao Sect's sect was located where the clouds and mist arose.
They passed through the noisy town and came to a huge mountain range. They saw a wide ladder leading straight up and there were countless stone steps. Just one look at it made people feel swollen and dizzy. And a huge stone tablet stood on the stone steps.
On the side, there are four big characters written on it, "The Path to Martial Arts", and many disciples of the Xuan Dao Sect walk on this road.
Seeing Zhan Chen looking at the road in trance, Qiu Wuya smiled and said: Zhan Chen, let's go up. The Xuan Dao Sect's sect is on top of this mountain range.
Only then did Zhan Chen come back to his senses, nodded, and continued walking forward with Qiu Wuya. They walked up the stone steps for thousands of steps, and felt that the spiritual energy around them was getting thicker and denser.
They condensed together, like smoke and mist, lingering beside me, playing catch-and-hide with others. When I reached out to catch them, I found that they ran away automatically again, as if they had turned into air.
The spiritual trees beside the road are whistling, the spiritual grass is luxuriant, and the spiritual flowers are fragrant; the spiritual springs are tinkling, and there are birds singing and apes singing in harmony, just like a beautiful mountain tune. This scene is very pleasing to the eye.
At the end of the shade, a majestic stone gate appeared. On the eyebrows were the three characters of Xuan Dao Zong, which made it look like a chivalrous and handsome person.
When Zhan Chen saw these three big characters, he stopped and stood still, fascinated by the words. He seemed to have understood some martial arts secrets from them.
Qiu Wuya shook his head with a smile and had to stop and wait for him to finish reading.
After a long while, Zhan Chen woke up from his addiction. When he saw Qiu Wuya waiting for him, he suddenly felt embarrassed and said apologetically: Elder Qiu, I'm so sorry, I was fascinated by this sight.
Hahaha, Zhan Chen, it doesn’t matter, it doesn’t matter. It’s my first time here and it’s not much better than you. Let’s go.
So the two came to the stone gate and showed the letter from the leader to the disciples on duty again. The disciples on duty were shocked and immediately sent someone up the mountain to deliver the report. Not long after, a young man came down the steps.
Zhan Chen took a closer look and found that he actually had the intermediate level of Emperor Martial Arts. He was suddenly awe-struck and thought to himself: This young man does not look much older than me, but his cultivation level has reached the intermediate level of Emperor Martial Arts, which is higher than me. It seems that
My efforts are not enough, I still need to work hard day and night and keep improving.
The young man bowed his hands to them and saluted them, saying: "Two friends of Lanfeng Sect, I am Wu Xu, the elder of Xuandao Sect, and I am here to welcome the distinguished guests up the mountain."
Elder Wu is welcome.
Without further ado, Sect Master Xuan is still waiting, please invite me.
good.
So Zhan Chen and Qiu Wuya followed Wu Xu and officially entered Xuan Dao Sect. Inside the mountain gate was another scene, the vast martial arts training field, tall buildings, and the disciples who were busy practicing and competing, all gave people a deep impression.
impression.
As Wu Xu walked, he introduced the situation in the sect to Zhan Chen and Qiu Wuya. Xuan Dao Sect has more than 30,000 outer disciples with Martial Master cultivation level, which is only one-thirtieth of the number of Mo Luo Sect, but all of them are
They are geniuses who practice martial arts. They are all the most elites selected through layers of screening. Therefore, the inner disciples of Xuan Dao Sect are not much less than those of Mo Luo Sect. There are nearly three thousand, and all of them have the cultivation of King of Martial Arts. Elite disciples
Nearly a hundred of them all possess the cultivation level of Martial Emperor or above.
Through his introduction, Zhan Chen's previous guess was confirmed that Xuan Dao Sect followed the elite route; while Mo Luo Sect had to rely on cruel competition to rise to the top. This also made him have a hidden worry in his heart, and he was truly fighting for his life.
, can the elites trained by Xuan Dao Sect win over the disciples of Mo Luo Sect who have been struggling from the line of life and death?
While thinking about it, they had arrived in front of the main hall where Xuan Dao Sect welcomed guests and held meetings. Zhan Chen looked up and saw a splendid palace standing in front of him. On the lintel were the three golden characters of Hao Qi Palace, which were written brightly.
You two, please come in, our sect master is waiting. Wu Xu said as he walked into the door.
Zhan Chen also subconsciously tidied up his appearance and followed his footsteps, but his heart was quite uneasy. He was about to meet Xuan Haoran, the leader of Xuan Dao Sect. He was a figure who could be on equal footing with Yin Xuehai, and he would
