Soon, it was the day of opening Kunlun Mountain.
Qiu Changtian was too lazy to think about how Master Ziwei had managed to cope during this period.
He only knew that the threshold of his own cave had been trampled down, and Xu Yinglian was so annoyed that he had recently locked the door of his cave.
Pretend not to be there!
Finally, they made it to the day of the opening of the mountain, and they left the cave early to avoid being surrounded by those enthusiastic elders.
As the Qiongying Zhenren, Xu Yinglian had no rigid requirements on where to go, so today he planned to patrol the Kunlun Sky Pillar to see these young new generation disciples.
As an elder of Changgeng, Qiu Changtian could not wander around, so he had to stay in the main hall during the opening period and wait for the results of the initiation ceremony.
The other elders were also in the main hall, each of them just closed their eyes and rested.
At this time of day, everyone's expression is extremely calm, in order to show that they have many talented people under their tutelage and will not compete with other elders for disciples.
In fact, this is indeed the case. In the past few hundred years, only Qiu Changtian's class was fiercely fought over because of his clear mind of Taoism. The rest of the time, everyone was very harmonious and would choose to respect the opinions of the disciples. They would not turn against each other because of fighting over who was who.
Only this time, everyone's expressions seemed a little anxious.
The reason for his anxiety was not because there was a disciple that he had to snatch away, but because he was worried about whether the younger generations in his own clan could catch the supernova train of Master Chang Geng.
Obviously, being able to complete the road to heaven within the specified time is only the minimum qualification to participate in this competition, but since there are too many qualified people, Master Chang Geng must make a choice among them.
In other words, not only do you have to complete the journey to the top, but you also have to get into the first few spots to have a slightly better chance of winning.
For example, there are three people, A, B and C.
After Jia completed the journey to heaven, he asked to take Elder Chang Geng as his teacher in the main hall of Kunlun Yuxu Palace.
Chang Gung: Okay.
The next person to finish was B, who also named Chang Geng Zhenren.
Chang Gung: Okay.
The last one is Bing, which also refers to Master Chang Geng.
Chang Geng: I'm sorry, although you have excellent qualifications, I have already accepted many apprentices, and I'm afraid I don't have the energy to take care of you...
Thinking of this, all the elders wished they could take their place, and walk all the way in place of their juniors, open the road to heaven in seconds, and then designate Elder Chang Geng before anyone else.
Of course, if you think about it, you will know that it is impossible, so everyone can only frown worriedly and secretly pay attention to the result of the road to heaven.
As elders, their words and actions must be dignified. It is impossible for them to ask about the movements of the Road to Heaven all the time. Therefore, the Jindan disciples under their tutelage shoulder the important task of reporting the news.
Sword lights kept flying out of Yuxu Palace and flying back, and people were walking in a line at the side doors of the main hall, and then they told the master in secret how far your junior had gone, how fast he was, who was in front of him and behind him, etc., making the entire main hall of Yuxu Palace look like a secret base for spies to meet.
Master Ziwei saw this and wanted to set some rules, but after thinking about it, he gave up.
The main reason was that there were too many elders, and the law did not hold everyone responsible. In addition, he had previously blocked a favor for Chang Geng, and everyone had already become very resentful. Now it would be inappropriate to further incur public anger.
Forget it, forget it. Everyone is just worried about the younger generation in the clan, so I will just turn a blind eye.
Near the Kunlun Pillar of Heaven, Xu Yinglian flew around the mountain on his sword. Looking at the black spots clinging to the steps below, he recalled the experiences of climbing the mountain in the past and couldn't help but sigh.
She saw that the person who was walking the fastest was Luo Chuan, the Taoist prodigy of the Luo family.
Although he is currently closest to the finish line, his expression shows that he is close to exhaustion. It is obvious that he has overdrawn most of his strength in trying to resist the demon's illusion.
Walking one or two steps behind him was Xu Jin from the Tiannan Xu family, a descendant of one of Xu Yinglian's cousins... What should the other party call him? Great-great-great-great-aunt?
Xu Jin's complexion was much better than Luo Chuan's. She walked at a leisurely pace, maintaining a distance of one body length. As long as she chose to exert force, she could easily overtake and take first place at any time.
Five or six steps further back was Ge Juan from the Ge family, a girl who looked very weak and delicate, with sweat on her face.
These three people belong to the first echelon, and they are obviously a long way behind the other disciples. I think if senior brother were to accept disciples, he would probably choose from these three.
When there were still about a hundred steps left, Luo Chuan suddenly stopped, bent down, supported his knees, and began to gasp for breath.
"You win." He said breathlessly, "Xu Jin, right? As expected of a Tiannan Xu family, you can actually follow me here."
"It's a pity that I used up too much energy before, and now I don't have the strength to continue walking... Damn it!" As he said this, Luo Chuan punched his thigh hard, revealing a look of remorse and unwillingness, "Otherwise, why would I give up this first place?"
"You're acting too much." Xu Jin said calmly, standing two steps behind him in silence.
Luo Chuan: ...
He looked at Xu Jin silently, and when he saw that the other party had no intention of continuing to walk, he narrowed his eyes slightly.
Soon, Ge Juan, who was walking in third place, caught up with the two people who were still standing there.
"Excuse me, how far is it up there?" Ge Juan asked, panting.
"About a hundred steps." Luo Chuan replied, pretending to be exhausted, and simply sat down on the steps, "I really can't walk anymore."
"Oh." Ge Juan nodded and looked at Xu Jin again, "You can't walk either?"
"Rest." Xu Jin answered concisely.
"Then I'll take a break too." Ge Juan said with a smile, and then stood aside.
The three of them looked at each other, and for a moment they felt like they had met their match.
This situation was soon noticed by the immortals who came to investigate, and then spread to Yuxu Palace through the information network.
The elders looked at each other in bewilderment when they heard this, wondering what was going on with the three cultivation seeds from the Xu, Luo, and Ge families? They were clearly about to reach the end, but suddenly gave up and stopped moving forward?
Looking at the elders of the Xu, Luo and Ge families, only a few of them had frowns on their brows, but most of them had strange expressions on their faces.
Sitting on the main seat, Sect Leader Ziwei's eyes twitched for a moment, thinking that this was not going to be easy.
Because after hearing the news, he suddenly remembered a certain rule of Kunlun for accepting disciples.
A rule that everyone in a certain hall has forgotten, but the children remember by heart, is:
The first disciple to complete the Kunlun Road to Heaven will be the chief disciple of this generation and will be accepted as a disciple by the master himself.
