Upon seeing Ji Yun's serious demeanor, Yue Xi quickly abandoned her playful thoughts and began to sit upright and attentively.
Ji Yun spoke solemnly, uttering Taoist scriptures.
"The Tao that can be spoken of is not the eternal Tao; the name that can be named is not the eternal name. The nameless is the origin of Heaven and Earth; the named is the mother of all things. Therefore, one should always be without desire, so as to observe its mystery; one should always have desire, so as to observe its mystery. These two are the same in origin but different in name; they are both called profound. Profound and yet more profound, the gateway to all mysteries..."
As the ferryboats swirled and turned, everyone began to comprehend their profound mysteries.
In a short time, one disciple after another broke through to the next level, and even several elders broke through to the next stage.
One of the disciples shouted excitedly, "Hahaha, I've broken through! It's been so long, finally!"
The composed senior brother next to him angrily rebuked, "Shut up, sit down. Have you ever seen anyone who hasn't broken through?"
They were all utterly astonished. Such a scripture could actually help them break through a stage; if they could truly comprehend it, wouldn't that be...?
Yuexi opened her eyes: "Master, it seems that Yuexi has only broken through to the second stage of the Nascent Soul realm."
"It's okay, take your time, and gradually come to understand it."
The night was completely silent; no one dared to have any wild thoughts, and everyone was contemplating the scriptures they had just read.
The next morning, sunlight bathed the entire ferry.
The disciples woke up one after another, their faces beaming with satisfaction, clearly having had a very fruitful night.
The ferry soon arrived at its destination.
At the height of Zhongyue, a huge plaza was set up with rest areas for various sects.
Someone immediately recognized the person: "The people from Lingyun Sect have arrived."
The various sects that had arrived were greeting each other.
They all landed at the Lingyun Sect's location, where disciples chatted animatedly around them, creating quite a lively atmosphere.
A moment later, all the sects had arrived.
The host is from the Piaomiao Sect, the number one sect in Zhongyue.
"All sects have arrived. In the first round, each sect will select five people to enter the Luoshan Map. As long as they reach the top, they will be considered victorious. The ranking will be based on the number of sects that reach the top."
Ji Yun asked, "What is the Luoshan Map?"
Yuexi explained, "It is a supreme treasure of heaven and earth. There is a mountain inside. Once inside, you cannot use your cultivation. There are various trials inside. Only by passing the trials can you continue. Otherwise, you will fail and have to come back."
Ji Yun suddenly realized: "Oh, I see."
Bai Xiao spoke up: "Those who pass the test will gain some insights. Elders, who do you plan to send in?"
Zuo Xintao said, "It's best to choose someone with good stamina for this round, as the mountain climb is long and will consume a lot of energy."
Ji Yun quickly said, "If Yuexi and I go in, there are three more spots available. You can choose whichever you like."
The elders all nodded and began to discuss who should go in.
