Although Ye Sisi couldn't see the woman's full face, she met the woman's gaze.
Those eyes were beautiful, and somewhat familiar. Damn, how could they not be familiar? Except for the color of the pupils, they were exactly the same as her eyes.
But those crystal-clear eyes were filled with indifference, devoid of any emotion.
Ye Sisi shuddered to bring herself back to her senses. She patted her slightly panicked heart and continued walking uphill.
But those cold eyes keep appearing in my mind.
The ladder was very long, the kind that seemed to have no end. She wasn't in a hurry and walked slowly forward, without feeling that strange gravity anymore.
I must say, the view of the mountains and rivers from the cloud ladder is quite impressive, just like a high-end version of a glass bridge.
After walking for an unknown amount of time, an old man with a white beard appeared in front of Ye Sisi.
Yes, he's like the kind of ethereal old man from martial arts novels, a handsome old man with a dignified and otherworldly air, the kind who looks like he's about to fly away on a crane at any moment.
Ye Sisi looked up at him, and the old man looked at her with a loving expression.
The old man and the young girl stared at each other strangely, and then Ye Sisi felt that something was wrong.
She took a few more steps up and then bowed, saying, "Junior Ye Sisi greets Senior."
The white-bearded old man stroked his beard with a smile and said in a kind voice, "No need for formalities."
Ye Sisi still felt something was off, so she tentatively asked, "Senior, does the spicy hot pot smell good?"
The old man's expression remained kind as he said to himself, "I am Wuyazi, and I have been waiting here for you for a long time."
Ye Sisi's lips twitched. She knew it! She always felt that the old man was looking at her, but also not looking at her. It just felt strange.
However, she found it quite amusing, so she asked, seemingly out of nowhere, "Senior, may I pluck a hair from your beard?"
Wu Yazi shook his head and said with a smile, "Young friend, we are not destined to be together."
Ye Sisi found it very strange that they could communicate on completely different frequencies. "Senior, I really have to pull your beard."
"What is destined to be yours will be yours, and what is not, you cannot force."
Ye Sisi...
Never mind, this should just be a program set by Senior Wuyazi when he left his photograph. Perhaps it will only be activated when a suitable successor is found.
She continued walking upwards, and this time she soon saw a colorful light gate. In front of the light gate sat a woman in colorful clothes holding a harp.
The woman had a bright and delicate appearance, with a shimmering light in her narrow, beautiful eyes. Her slender, white fingers rested gently on the strings of the zither. Just sitting there quietly was like a beautiful painting.
Although Ye Sisi wanted to be elegant, it seemed she didn't have the talent; the beautiful woman didn't even glance at her.
At least Senior Wuyazi had exchanged a few nonsensical words with her. Sigh, when she has time, she should also study things like music, chess, calligraphy, and painting. She always feels that spending all her time wielding a sword and fighting will affect her temperament.
Ye Sisi bowed slightly to the woman in colorful clothes before stepping into the portal of light.
On the other side of the gate was a magnificent white jade palace, in front of which was a huge white jade square, where a dozen or so cultivators stood.
Su Jiuli and Ye Shubai were among them. When they saw Ye Sisi arrive, they simply nodded slightly.
Just as Ye Sisi was about to ask what was going on, a Tai Chi diagram suddenly appeared beneath her feet.
The same Tai Chi symbol appeared beneath the feet of the others, and the Tai Chi symbol slowly began to rotate.
The next moment, a black and white beam of light appeared around the twelve people. The beams of light intertwined and spread, forming a huge circular shield of black and white.
Ye Sisi then realized that the twelve people standing in that position formed a circle. Could someone explain to her what was going on?
She looked at Su Jiuli questioningly, but Su Jiuli simply shook her head slightly, indicating that she didn't know either.
As the two disciples looked at each other, the tightly closed white jade hall doors slowly opened with a creak.
Ye Sisi narrowed her eyes as she sensed a strong ghostly and malevolent aura.
Not only her, but everyone else also sensed it, and their expressions all became serious.
Before everyone could figure out what was going on, the Tai Chi diagram beneath their feet suddenly burst forth with tremendous force, shoving them into the palace gates that resembled a gaping abyss.
The moment Ye Sisi regained control of her body, she used the momentum to do a backflip, which prevented her from falling flat on her face.
She was standing on a circular stone platform, where Su Jiuli and the others were also present.
Apart from the soft white light emanating from the stone platform, the rest of the place was pitch black.
A chilling, ghostly aura and malevolent energy lingered, and even the ground was black, surpassing even the forbidden land of the Yellow Springs.
Ye Sisi turned to Su Jiuli beside her and asked, "Senior Brother, what's going on?"
Before Su Jiuli could answer, everyone heard the creaking sound of bones grinding together. The sound was dense and seemed particularly eerie in the already dark and cold space.
Before long, a row of pale green flames appeared in sight. The flames were uneven and flickered irregularly. If you ignored the background, the flickering flames might actually be quite beautiful.
Ye Shubai and Su Jiuli stepped forward at the same time, completely blocking Ye Sisi's view.
She helplessly tugged at the two of them: "Senior Brother, Fourth Brother, that's going too far. I'm very strong, okay?"
The others remained silent. What time is it? Stop acting all lovey-dovey, okay? Can't you see the skeleton army getting closer and closer?
Yes, it was a real army of skeletons. The stark white bones looked even more eerie under the pale green firelight, and every step the army took produced a chilling sound as the bones rubbed against each other.
This image was originally quite frightening.
But these skeleton brothers are missing arms and legs, some are even just upper body bones, walking on their two skeletal arms, and some are hopping on one leg, which looks strangely comical.
The army of skeletons drew closer, but they all stopped at the edge of the white light illuminating the stone platform with perfect understanding, and then nothing more.
The lowest cultivation level among those who came in with Ye Sisi was Nascent Soul, so they were all quite bold.
A burly man in black jumped off the stone platform without any hesitation, carrying a meteor hammer.
Ye Sisi looked at him and thought this guy was really bluffing. Didn't he see that the other Nascent Soul cultivators were still standing there without moving?
