Chapter 1 Beginning
Qingyun Sect, Yuxuan Peak.
The vast snow pressed on the treetops and fell on the ground, accumulating into a silver-white mass. In the cave, a woman in green clothes was holding a book, her thin willow-shaped eyebrows twisted into a ball.
The reason was simple: it was because she had picked up a storybook called "The Road to Becoming a God" from the back mountain not long ago.
This story mainly tells the story of a young man named Ye Qingzhou who, with the help of a mysterious being, defies fate and cultivates to become a god.
Logically speaking, there is nothing to worry about in fictional stories, but "The Road to Godhood" also writes about her and several of her unfortunate disciples.
She could write it anyway, but in this book, all her disciples were portrayed as villains, and each one was killed by the righteous protagonist, while she herself was just a cannon fodder who was killed off early.
Who on earth was so bored as to plot against her and her apprentice?
Jane Anning thought to herself a little angrily.
At this moment, the barrier outside her cave was gently triggered. The person outside the door was a handsome young man. He whispered, "Master, disciple Fan Qingyue requests to see you."
Fan Qingyue is Jian An Ning's most beloved disciple, and he is also the one who wants to wipe out the entire family in the story.
When he walked in, he found Jane Anning holding a book in her hand, reading it intently.
Fan Qingyue thought, when did Master become so fond of reading?
But as a considerate eldest disciple, he just silently noted this detail and did not ask about it. Instead, he talked about business with Jian An Ning.
"Master, the Great Elder just sent someone to say that Yuxuan Peak hasn't accepted any disciples in nearly a hundred years. If we don't accept any more disciples for this initiation trial, the sect will reduce the resources provided."
When Jian Anning heard this, she stopped even reading the tattered book. Her expression became more melancholy as she said, "How could a hundred years have passed so quickly?"
As the leading super sect in the world of immortal cultivation, Qingyun Sect provides its cultivators with very rich cultivation resources. Every time they break through a major realm, the resources will increase accordingly.
Correspondingly, monks also have certain obligations.
For example, as an inner sect elder, Jian An Ning must accept at least one disciple every hundred years.
Fan Qingyue knew clearly that his master was somewhat different from the other elders, because for the elders, disciples were not accepted for nothing. For every additional disciple accepted, the sect would also provide more resources to the elder.
He once asked Jian An Ning why she was unwilling to accept a disciple.
But Jian An Ning only replied him with one word.
tired.
But the inner sect elders are all at the Nascent Soul stage, and his master is no exception. Do Nascent Soul cultivators also feel tired?
Only Fan Qingyue, who was in the foundation-building stage, didn't know.
"Where do those who come to participate in the entrance trial live?" Jian An Ning was distressed for a while, and then asked.
Fan Qingyue was brought back to his senses by Jian Anning's words. He bowed and replied, "They are all on Luoyun Peak."
He thought for a moment and added, "If Master is unwilling to go, it's not a bad idea for me to go on your behalf."
This kind of operation is also often seen among other elders. After all, even if they are outer sect elders, their cultivation has at least reached the Golden Core stage. If they are more experienced, they would have countless disciples and would not personally accept disciples.
But Jian An Ning waved his hand, rejecting his proposal, and said, "Go back and practice. After the entrance trial, it will be the sect competition, right? You are the eldest brother, you must do your best and don't lose face for Yuxuan Peak."
“It’s natural!”
Jian Anning aroused Fan Qingyue's fighting spirit with just a few words. She felt a little relieved when she saw her sensible eldest disciple going back to practice with full momentum.
Look, how could such an honest disciple be the one who killed an entire clan in the storybook?
Jane Anning hated the book more and more. She threw the book on the table and left her cave.
She only has two disciples now, and she wants to see what the disciple who is "destined to destroy the world" mentioned in the story looks like.
The next moment, Jian An Ning cast a spell and turned into a ray of light, escaping towards Luoyun Peak.
Luoyun Peak.
In order to accommodate people coming from all directions, Qingyun Sect built many guest rooms here, but the number of these guest rooms is still dwarfed by the number of people who want to join Qingyun Sect.
An unknown amount of time ago, a set of Qing Jue techniques that could be practiced by anyone was introduced into the world, thus ushering in an era of universal cultivation.
However, cultivation still has different levels of talent. Those with high talent may be able to break through to the God Transformation stage in just 1,800 years, while those with low talent may struggle in the Qi training stage their entire lives.
In addition to talent, the resources obtained by the cultivator himself are also crucial, so being able to enter a wealthy and powerful sect is definitely more advantageous than joining a small force.
Therefore, the Qingyun Sect's entry trial is always crowded.
Jian An Ning stood at the highest point of Luoyun Peak, lowered his eyes and looked at the crowds of people on the mountain, his spiritual sense spreading out, looking for someone suitable to be his disciple.
Suddenly, among the vast crowd of people at Luoyun Peak, someone seemed to sense something and looked up.
When he looked up, his eyes met Jian An Ning's.
Jian Anning was startled and flew down to the man's side. She grabbed his wrist and asked, "What's your name?"
The young man was dressed in red, with delicate features, a pair of phoenix eyes with slightly upturned corners. If he smiled, he would probably win the hearts of many girls.
But he didn't smile, and his expression was unusually calm.
Even though he was surrounded by countless envious and jealous eyes, he remained expressionless and only replied with two words to Jian Anning's words:
"Lu Fei."
Jane Anning thought to herself: Interesting.
It is also the custom of Qingyun Sect that elders who want to recruit disciples will come to Luoyun Peak in advance to look for suitable disciples. Therefore, no matter what they looked like outside in the past, everyone in Luoyun Peak will pretend to be a decent person here.
They will be extremely flattering to the elders who actively choose them as disciples. Jian Anning has seen many such people.
But Lu Fei is different.
What's more, although she did not deliberately hide her figure and aura, Lu Fei, who had not yet embarked on the path of cultivation, was able to sense her presence.
This is already a very high talent.
In this world, there are no such things as spiritual roots as are often written about in vernacular novels. Cultivation talent cannot be measured directly, so it can only be understood indirectly from various angles.
Therefore, even a super sect like Qingyun Sect will receive many disciples who will never be able to break through the Qi training stage in their lifetime, so selecting disciples is particularly important for the elders who accept disciples.
However, this young man should be able to at least break through the foundation-building stage. Jane An Ning thought happily that the Great Elder would not bother her for at least a hundred years.
"This Immortal, can you please let me go?"
Perhaps it was because Jian An Ning had been silent for too long, so long that Lu Fei spoke directly.
Jian An Ning was slightly embarrassed for a moment, then naturally let go of the hand that was holding Lu Fei's wrist. She stood there with an immortal look, looking like a hermit.
"Are you interested in becoming my disciple?"
If the envious, jealous, and hateful gazes around Lu Fei could materialize, he would probably be stabbed to death right now.
The number of disciples recruited by Qingyun Sect is extremely small compared to the huge number of people seeking the truth. Anyone who can join Qingyun Sect, even if he is just an outer disciple, will be very lucky.
However, Lu Fei shook her head, which made Jian An Ning a little confused.
Although she had used some tricks to obtain the position of inner sect elder, being able to become her disciple was definitely much better than being a disciple of those outer sect elders.
How can there be such an ungrateful person?
Lu Fei seemed to be looking at Jian An Ning, but also seemed not to be looking at her. Her expression was a mixture of extremely complicated emotions. Then she lowered her eyes slightly, hiding her thoughts, and continued, "I don't know."
Jian An Ning became more confused and was about to take Lu Fei away to question her alone when she heard a voice coming from not far away.
"Elder Jian, what are you doing at Luoyun Peak?"
There was some impoliteness in the man's words, and Jian An Ning naturally didn't have a good face towards him.
"Of course I'm here to choose an apprentice," she pointed at Lu Fei and said, "I want this person."
The man had a serious expression and a businesslike demeanor. He said, "The entrance test hasn't started yet. Your request is invalid."
Jian An Ning knew him. He was also an inner sect elder named Zhao Tan. However, unlike Jian An Ning, an elder who spent all day doing nothing, Zhao Tan was also in charge of the Discipline Hall. He was well-known in the sect and was a very strict and argumentative person.
Jian An Ning had no intention of competing with Zhao Tan. She turned around and said to Lu Fei, "My name is Jian An Ning, and I'm an inner sect elder of the Qingyun Sect. If you pass the entrance test, you can join my Yuxuan Peak."
Then, she glanced at Zhao Tan secretly, and said to Lu Fei quietly, "In short, don't go to Yuxu Peak."
Zhao Tan ignored Jian An Ning's little movements.
Although the Discipline Hall was fully responsible for the situation at Luoyun Peak, he didn't have to go out in person. Asking a few Foundation Establishment disciples was enough to manage these people who hadn't even reached the Qi Condensation stage.
However, in order to avoid any mistakes, Zhao Tan still took charge of every detail and took action personally.
He showed up just because he discovered that some inner sect elders were coming here, so as to prevent some individuals from relying on their status and acting recklessly in the area under the jurisdiction of the Discipline Hall.
Such a situation had indeed occurred before, and it ended in an extremely embarrassing way, so Zhao Tan was particularly worried.
But based on his understanding of Jane An Ning, he knew that Jane An Ning probably would not do such a thing.
So Zhao Tan watched Jian An Ning leave from Luoyun Peak, but he transmitted a message to Jian An Ning over a thousand miles, saying, "Lu Fei is an extremely talented person. I also intend to take him under my wing."
When Jian An Ning turned into a beam of light and returned to Yuxuan Peak, she heard Zhao Tan's belated message.
She was thinking about how to find Ye Qingzhou, the protagonist of "The Road to Godhood", and didn't care about Zhao Tan's words.
Lu Fei must be her apprentice, this guy can’t possibly snatch her away from her, Jian An Ning thought secretly in her heart.
Apart from anything else, it was clearly written in the tattered book she had picked up earlier that her little disciple who was destined to destroy the world was called Lu Fei.
