"Could it be said that he has understood all the nine great methods and reached the Golden Immortal Realm?" Zhang Shaoyang said in shock.
It is important to know that almost all practitioners can specialize in one and reach the Golden Immortal realm. Only those disciples with extremely outstanding talents, unique understanding, and the support of the gate behind them can occasionally practice two methods at the same time.
It is rare to find three types of practitioners, and it is almost unheard of to have more than four types.
As for the nine types?
Where did this monster come from?!
After calming down a little, Li Wuji shook his head.
"Perhaps he has not realized the Golden Immortal, but he only has the notes of predecessors who have become Golden Immortals, so he can tell it."
"If you just follow the script, it is indeed very possible!" Zhu Haozhi nodded, "And you must have discovered that although the sermon just now involves the golden immortal principles of the nine methods, it is only a superficial taste and not profound. Obviously it is not
He understood it himself.”
"Phew! It really scared me!"
Zhang Shaoyang breathed a sigh of relief.
"But Fellow Daoist Xu is really broad-minded and willing to share such profound principles with everyone," said Zhu Haozhi.
Looking at the disciples of the three sects below who fell into enlightenment, Zhang Shaoyang nodded.
If it were them preaching, the immortals would have only touched upon it briefly, and would not have been able to explain all the truths that their predecessors had finally understood.
Just as Li Wuji was about to speak, he stopped again.
The three of them looked at each other and looked down.
On a huge rock halfway up a mountain next to Huanglong Mountain, a middle-aged man wearing a five-color Taoist robe and a serious expression was sitting cross-legged.
At this time, his eyes were slightly closed, his breath was long, six feet of Qingyun was floating above his head, and a round five-color Dao Fruit was held on the twelve-grade green lotus.
Obviously, this person is a true immortal who practices the Five Elements and is close to the state of perfection.
Suddenly, a trace of dense black energy emerged from the void.
It exuded a strong aura of calamity.
Whenever this kind of aura appears around a monk, it is a prelude to a catastrophe.
However, just when the calamity aura became stronger, a ray of light flew from above, the aura on the Taoist's body disappeared instantly, and the calamity aura also dissipated.
The Taoist slowly opened his eyes, felt something strange next to him, and quickly bowed and saluted.
"Thank you for your help, senior!"
Xu Junming's voice rang in his ears.
"I will teach you a set of techniques. When you are ready to overcome the tribulation, the seal will be released."
"Thank you, senior."
Although there are not many people like him who have already reached the level of magic but not enough realm, they have made up for their shortcomings by listening to the sermons, so they are plagued by the aura of calamity.
But among the nearly 20 million monks, there are quite a few.
Xu Junming sealed part of their mana one by one and gave them a way to unblock it.
Otherwise, if they are allowed to survive the tribulation, the monks within thousands of miles around will suffer.
Time passed little by little.
When twelve o'clock passed at noon on the 82nd day, the loud bell rang.
All the listeners woke up.
Subconsciously looking at the huge figure in mid-air, the eyes of everyone who felt that they had made progress while listening to the sermon had a touch more gratitude and respect than at the beginning.
"End of sermon on the 81st."
"Thank you, True Lord, for the gift!"
The crowd shouted loudly.
Feeling the sincerity in everyone's words, Xu Junming nodded slightly.
"That day at Qingyang Mountain, Pindao once said that after the sermon, he would set up a two-layered formation. Those who can pass it can enter my sect."
Most of the casual cultivators became excited.
The reason why they came from thousands of miles away was to join the Chongshan Sect and be protected by the Golden Immortal Patriarch, so that they would no longer be oppressed by the disciples of those sects.
With a wave of his sleeves, a black divine light turned into a huge black staircase.
This black staircase is two thousand feet long and one thousand feet wide, with a total of 999 steps!
At the end of the steps is a huge platform.
"Anyone who can cross the steps and climb to the platform can be my disciple."
The black stairs shed a divine light, and countless casual cultivators felt a powerful pinching force covering their bodies.
They were not allowed to resist at all.
He stepped lightly, and when he reappeared, he was already on top of the steps.
Today I heard that there are nearly 20 million monks, more than half of whom are casual practitioners.
But after tens of millions of casual cultivators landed on the steps that were only a thousand feet long, their bodies seemed to be compressed, only one-tenth the size, and they did not appear crowded at all.
Lin Lingsu's pupils narrowed slightly, with a look of shock on her face.
"What a mysterious Hutian Taoist artifact."
"It's not just a fairy weapon, you have to feel it carefully."
Lin Lingsu's heart moved. His senior brother had a higher level of cultivation than him. In addition to his major in Thunder Dao, he also dabbled in Hutian Dao.
He stared closely at the steps, and gradually a little bit of the innate Tao charm was reflected in the sea of consciousness.
"Innate Spiritual Treasure!!"
Looking at his disbelieving junior brother, Wang Wenqing looked solemn.
"It is conceivable that the Taoist method that Xu Junming is best at is not the Five Elements Tao and the Wind and Thunder Tao, but the Hutian Tao!"
The Tao contained in the innate spiritual treasure is the best teacher.
With an innate spiritual treasure of the Hutian Dao, the Hutian Dao, the most obscure among all the Dao, is not as difficult as imagined.
"No wonder he was willing to give us the 'Thunder Chisel'." Lin Lingsu said.
"Junior brother?"
Lin Lingsu turned her head.
"This person is very powerful. Don't provoke him unless necessary."
"Senior Brother, don't worry. We have obtained the Sky Thunder Chisel, and we no longer have any conflicts with him."
Not only Lin Lingsu and Wang Wenqing, but also Li Wuji, Zhang Shaoyang and Zhu Haozhi who were gathered not far away also discovered the reality of the staircase.
The three people looked a little ugly, especially Zhang Shaoyang.
Xu Junming, who was already extraordinary in strength, added an innate spiritual treasure, and it was also an extremely mysterious Hutian Dao spiritual treasure.
It is conceivable that Chongshan Academy must be the "leader of the Taoist sect" of Tianshi Tao, a strong competitor second only to Shenxiao Tao.
And its potential is even greater than that of Shenxiao Dao.
As for Li Wuji and Zhu Haozhi, it is enough to worry about having Tianshi Dao and Shenxiao Dao on their heads, and now there is Chongshan Academy.
Just thinking about it makes me not very happy.
No matter how the five people feel, this test is still going on.
Ever since everyone climbed up the stairs, people were constantly being ejected.
Because there are many ordinary people who come here to admire the immortal fate, and even monks who have established the foundation and the innate realm, everyone who is eliminated is sent out of Huanglong Mountain with spiritual power.
When they woke up after landing, they all looked regretful.
They knew they were eliminated.
After about a day, the test ended.
Only 200,000 people climbed to the final platform!
Selecting 200,000 from 20 million is completely a one-in-a-hundred-to-one ratio.
Seeing that many people who became immortals were eliminated, everyone speculated that the other party's criteria for selecting disciples were not simply based on cultivation, but more on character.
That's right.
Ninety-nine and eighty-one illusions are set up with the transformed steps of the human soul divine gate.
As long as you have above average qualifications and understanding, a kind heart, and good perseverance, you can stay.
Cultivation is not important.
With the foundation of Chongshan Academy, as long as you have good qualifications and practice hard enough, becoming an immortal is not an extravagant hope.
Looking at the fiery eyes, Xu Junming nodded slightly.
"You will be my disciples of Chongshan Academy from now on!"
"See the Patriarch."
Those who stayed behind shouted excitedly.
After nodding slightly.
"In our Chongshan lineage, there is a difference between direct descendants and names. Although those who bear names are my disciples of Chongshan and accept my sect rules, they are not the heirs of my mantle. Those who are direct descendants join my sect, accept my mantle, and share weal and woe. They are just poor.
The Tao is very strict in accepting disciples, and those who do not have excellent xinxing, deep roots, and superior qualifications will not be accepted."
"Do you want to give it a try?"
"You still want to ask the Patriarch to test you?"
Every fool knows that direct disciples will definitely receive much more attention and teachings than registered disciples.
The opportunity is present, so naturally everyone wants to try it.
Xu Junming nodded and waved his sleeves.
A three-foot-long stone platform with a vast green light and a very simple appearance appeared next to him.
"If you can pass the test, you will come to this stone platform."
With a thought in his heart, a black brilliance enveloped the stone platform, and everyone's expressions instantly became sluggish, apparently falling into an illusion.
Looking around at the monks from various sects, Xu Junming said loudly.
"Dear Taoist friends, today's sermon at Huanglong Mountain has been completed. Please go back! I have important things to do, so I will send you off not far away."
As soon as he finished speaking, the thousand-foot-tall giant body disappeared in an instant.
Also disappearing were the 200,000 new disciples of Chongshan who remained on the altar.
Seeing this scene, those who failed the test shook their heads regretfully, turned around and left in the light.
"Everyone, let's go too."
Li Wuji said after taking a deep look at the main peak of Huanglong Mountain which was not very tall.
Zhang Shaoyang nodded.
"I thought people from Jin and Liao came back to interfere, but I never thought about it and never encountered them from beginning to end."
"They didn't go to Qingyang Mountain either." Zhu Haozhi frowned and said, "This is not like their style."
"Did something big happen to Jin and Liao that stopped them?" Zhang Shaoyang asked doubtfully.
Zhu Haozhi shook his head, "I don't know."
"Compared with the Jin and Liao countries, I'm more curious about why the people from the southern Xinjiang Wu clan didn't come? Doesn't Si Zhan not want the Witch God's battle ax?" Li Wuji said.
"It's a pity that I'm not proficient in deduction, otherwise I would be able to find some clues by then."
After a pause, Zhu Haozhi flew out of the cabin.
"Two fellow Taoists, Zhu has to rush back to Kongtong to sit in charge, so he will take his leave first."
"Friend Daoist Zhu, walk slowly."
After Zhu Haozhi left, Li Wuji didn't want to stay any longer. After a brief chat, he also said goodbye and left.
After Zhang Shaoyang took one last look at the vibrant Huanglong Mountain, he urged the spirit boat to leave.
Within a few hours, most of the monks who had gathered around Huanglong Mountain left.
There were some left. Seeing that the scenery of Huanglong Mountain was beautiful and the spiritual energy was stronger than the surroundings, they planned to set up the dojo here.
With Chongshan Academy at your back, you will be safer.
Most of the 200,000 people cannot meet the requirements of direct disciples.
From the beginning of the test, people have been eliminated.
The eliminated people woke up and saw that the surrounding environment was no longer Huanglong Mountain, but they did not dare to say anything and sat there quietly.
As time went by, more and more people were eliminated, but no one could appear on that enviable blue stone platform.
