Everyone knows Lin Qingzhu's reputation now.

The first disciple of the Sword Immortal, this name alone is enough to scare a large number of people.

What's more, her reputation is not exaggerated.

The story of how she defeated Lu Yan of the Supreme Hall with one sword at the entrance of the Emperor's Tomb is still spreading everywhere.

"It's over, it's over. Why am I so unlucky? I have to meet her instead of anyone else."

What now?

Liu Yuan suddenly lost his composure, and didn't know where to put his hands, not knowing what to do.

It is not right to lift it up, and it is not right to put it down.

Lin Qingzhu looked at him, frowned, and didn't know what he was doing.

"Still fighting?"

After hearing this, Liu Yuan panicked for a moment, then calmed down and smiled again.

"Haha, the fairy is really good at joking. I don't think this is necessary, right?"

With an awkward smile, Liu Yuan knew that he was no match for Lin Qingzhu, and said, "Don't bother with the fairy, I'll go by myself..."

After saying that, he raised his hand and hit himself hard on the chest, and then left this area in a flash.

Lin Qingzhu was stunned.

"this……"

"People nowadays are playing around...beating themselves?"

She was a little confused. The fight hadn't even started yet, so why did he quit on his own?

Will you stop struggling?

Lin Qingzhu pursed her lips and thought, maybe... he is afraid of pain.

After all, this Zixia sword is very painful when it pierces people.

Although I won't die...

This is a good thing, as it saves her from wasting energy and allowing her to save her strength for the tough battle ahead.

Shaking his head, he saw a stream of luck coming from the sky, and part of Liu Yuan's luck was taken away and entered Lin Qingzhu's body.

I saw a name suddenly appearing at the end of the Hidden Dragon List.

Lin Qingzhu...

"Look, it appears..."

The moment Lin Qingzhu's name appeared, all the people who were paying attention immediately became excited.

The one who reacted most intensely was undoubtedly Qi Wuhui.

"I told you, this kid, I've known since she was little that she could do it, and she really can do it..."

Qi Wuhui grinned and Ye Qiu was a little surprised.

Isn’t this his little cotton-padded jacket? Why does it seem that Qi Wuhui’s reaction is even more intense than his, as if his little cotton-padded jacket was on the list?

"Master... Senior Brother, did we make a mistake? Junior Brother Qi is not even on the list yet, why are you so excited?"

Ye Qiu asked depressedly.

"Hehe, I'm happy for you. As for whether my Hao'er can make the list, it doesn't matter. Anyway, I don't expect him to win..."

Qi Wuhui said nonchalantly.

Listen, is this your biological father?

It seems like you are just trying to show off and you don't even care about your son?

The corner of Ye Qiu's mouth twitched, he felt embarrassed and didn't know what to say for a moment.

People were still discussing it here, and after a while, the ranking list changed again.

"Fuck, it's the fifty-sixth time."

Qi Wuhui said excitedly again, isn't the rising speed too fast?

Lin Qingzhu overcame all obstacles and rose to prominence very quickly.

At this rate, she would soon catch up with the rankings of those geniuses ahead of her.

Looking at it now, her potential value has reached 50,000 points.

The current highest scores are 90,000 points for He Wushuang, who ranks first, and 89,000 points for Fu Yao, who ranks second.

At this rate, she would soon be able to join the first echelon.

Seeing this scene, Gu Jianchang's old face suddenly darkened. He turned back and signaled Taoist Qingmiao, "The next level is to ask the heart. You know what to do."

"Disciple understands."

Taoist Qingmiao nodded, took out a communication talisman, and conveyed the message inside.

Entering the upper level, Lin Qingzhu came to a square.

Because she delayed for too long, He Wushuang and others in front of her had already entered the next level.

There are few people left on this floor that she knows.

Seeing her coming up, everyone on the platform immediately looked at her in surprise.

Several Supreme Hall disciples who had just received the news immediately revealed hostile looks.

"Don't be impatient yet. Let's see how she passes this stage of self-examination. Many people are stuck at this stage. If we can delay her for a while, that would be the best..."

"If we let her off easy, we'll take action later..."

A disciple suggested, and the others immediately agreed.

Lin Qingzhu frowned and looked at them, but ignored them and walked straight to a stone tablet and injected his spiritual power into it.

In an instant, a shadow emerged from the stone tablet. A white-haired old man sat in front of the chessboard, looking at her.

The old man picked up a chess piece, slowly placed it under the chessboard, and said, "Little girl, do you know what Tao is?"

What is Tao?

This question seems simple, but there are many answers, and the answer is different in everyone's mind.

At this moment, the figure of Lin Qingzhu standing in front of the Questioning Heart Road caught the eyes of everyone outside the venue.

"Humph, it seems that she doesn't even know why she practices Taoism. Let's end this game here..."

Gu Jianchang said with a sneer, as if he had already won.

At this time, Qi Wuhui also became anxious and asked hurriedly: "Junior brother, you will not only teach her the secret method but not the Tao method, right?"

This question is very simple for many people. As long as you concentrate on asking the question and gain enlightenment every day, you will definitely be able to answer it.

But now, Lin Qingzhu stopped without any response. No wonder Qi Wuhui was so worried.

Ye Qiu did not answer his question, but looked at the white figure in the picture in silence.

What is Tao?

Once this question is raised...

Lin Qingzhu was stunned, frowned, and had many answers in his mind.

Looking back, I once saw a lonely figure on the cliff at Zixia Peak, rising at sunrise and resting at sunset every day.

Wake up three times a day, understand the truth, practice Qi, and examine your heart...

These were the three lessons she learned when she first got started.

At the beginning, she was ignorant and always knew in her heart that she practiced for revenge.

However, she didn't know why others practiced Taoism.

Therefore, she specifically went to ask her master, and her master said something that she still remembers vividly and is deeply touched by.

Thinking of this, Lin Qingzhu said without hesitation: "To establish a mind for the world, to establish a life for the people, to inherit the lost knowledge of the past sages, to bring peace to the world for all eternity, this is the Tao, the Tao in my heart."

When these words came out, the whole audience was shocked...

"Fuck..."

"I have heard countless answers to this question, but I have never heard such a domineering answer."

"What is the purpose of me practicing Taoism?"

"To establish a mind for heaven and earth, to establish a destiny for the people, to carry on the lost knowledge of the past sages, and to bring peace to the world for all eternity?"

"Oh my god, that's amazing! This is the most generous and beautiful answer I have ever heard."

As soon as these words were spoken, the whole audience was in an uproar. No one expected that Lin Qingzhu would say such a thing.

Even the people outside the venue were shocked. Who could have thought that Lin Qingzhu, who was cold and withdrawn, would have such great ambitions.

"Fuck, this is too cruel. Just one sentence makes my blood boil."

As soon as Lin Qingzhu said this, Qi Wuhui's heart was relieved.

Then came the bright spring, and the situation suddenly opened up.

"Hey, sorry, I'm so embarrassed, so embarrassed."

"I, the Butian Sect, have always taught my disciples in this way..."

At this moment, even True Man Zi Yang and True Man Yun Xu showed shocked expressions.

"call……"

He sighed deeply. Even they couldn't reach such a level of mind.

What a great ambition it takes to dare to establish a mind for the world.

"Friend Ye Qiu, your disciple is truly extraordinary. At such a young age, he has such a state of mind. I am truly impressed..."

True Man Zi Yang sighed and said with admiration.

Ye Qiu was also a little surprised. He didn't expect that she still remembered what he said to her so clearly. It really made Ye Qiu proud.

Hehe, you are worthy of being the teacher's most caring little cotton-padded jacket, so heartwarming.

"Haha, senior, you are too kind. I am a dull disciple, so how dare I be praised like that."

Ye Qiu said with a smile, and his expression didn't seem to be modest.

The corner of Master Zi Yang's mouth twitched. Wow... I really don't know if he is really humble or just pretending.

"Haha, my friend, you are really a man of character. I admire you..."

Master Yunxu also shook his head and smiled, feeling extremely envious.

Not only is Ye Qiu powerful himself and has unfathomable cultivation, but even his disciple is a rare genius among millions.

In a trance, he seemed to recall the fear he felt when he was dominated by Taoist Xuantian.

It seems like it has become a nightmare.

At this moment, Gu Jianchang's face looked a little unhappy. He did not expect that Lin Qingzhu would suddenly say such a thing.

Didn't the situation open up all of a sudden?

Compared with her, all the previous answers seemed particularly pale and powerless.

Even a little selfish.

"hateful!"

After the angry curse, Gu Jianchang's mentality completely collapsed. At first, he thought that Lin Qingzhu only practiced martial arts and not the way of mind.

Who would have thought that not only were they two fellow practitioners, but their state of mind was also so high that they directly crushed everyone.

If this continues, his Supreme Palace will probably lose all its face this time.

He felt a little regretful. Why did he go against Ye Qiu in the first place? Wasn't this just asking for humiliation?

Unfortunately, it’s no use regretting. I have already boasted about myself and now I’m in a difficult situation.

If they want to get their place back, they can only place their hopes on Lu Yan.

If he can't hold on, then the Supreme Hall will really lose.

After Lin Qingzhu finished speaking, the old man who was playing chess suddenly dropped the chess piece in his hand, and his expression froze for a moment.

"To establish a mind for heaven and earth, to establish a destiny for the people, to carry on the lost knowledge of the past sages, and to bring peace to the world for all eternity?"

"Wonderful, it's really wonderful."

After a moment of silence, the old man suddenly smiled, and a golden light slowly fell and poured into Lin Qingzhu's body.

That amount of human luck was so great, dozens of times more than what He Wushuang had obtained before.

Everyone who saw it was shocked.

"I have been examining my heart for several epochs, and this is the most wonderful answer I have ever heard."

"Little girl, congratulations, you passed the Questioning of the Heart."

The old man smiled faintly, the light gradually faded, and the door in front suddenly opened.

Lin Qingzhu was stunned, feeling the amazing luck coming upon her. She had not expected that her master's words back then would be of such great help to her today.

I admired Ye Qiu even more in my heart.

"I didn't expect that Master's understanding of the Tao is so profound."

"I am just taking advantage of Master's help."

Lin Qingzhu murmured to herself in her heart. She knew better than anyone who said this.

As I was in a daze, I suddenly felt a hint of murderous intent.

"Get started!"

At the critical moment, several disciples of the Supreme Hall attacked from behind and killed him the moment they felt this breath.

An icy and piercing sword intent burst out in an instant. Lin Qingzhu slowly turned around and stared coldly at the Supreme Hall disciples in front of him.

"court death?"

Lin Qingzhu dodged an attack from a Supreme Hall disciple by leaning sideways and kicked him hard, knocking him off the platform.

He drew out the Zixia Sword in an instant and nailed him to the suspended pillar with one sword. In an instant... the disciple turned into a ray of light and left Yunding Mountain.

"It was killed instantly?"

This sudden change caught everyone off guard and they were unable to react.

The Supreme Hall disciple who was killed in an instant was, after all, a cultivator of the seventh rank of Xuanzhi.

Is it really that unbearable?

The remaining few disciples of the Supreme Hall, seeing their brothers being killed in seconds, immediately felt that something was wrong and wanted to leave.

But Lin Qingzhu's sword intent had already locked onto them, and in an instant... a Dust-Breaking Slash slashed directly over.

In less than a breath, those disciples of the Supreme Hall who wanted to launch a sneak attack were defeated by Lin Qingzhu's sword and all driven out of Yunding Mountain.

Seeing this scene, everyone was scared, and they also deeply realized that Lin Qingzhu's amazing strength was not something that everyone could challenge.

"The Supreme Palace? It's nothing more than this..."

Lin Qingzhu ended the battle with one sword, left a cold sentence, retracted the Zixia Sword, turned around and entered the next level.

Off the field...

Looking at the disciples around him who were beaten, Gu Jianchang tried hard to hold back his anger and not let himself explode.

In this kind of sneak attack, the opponent was not hurt at all. In less than one round, they were all killed in seconds.

"Tsk tsk... The Supreme Palace? It would be fine if he just did some sneaky things, but he failed to do anything and ended up killing himself instead."

“How shameful…”

Qi Wuhui sneered, he was a professional at mocking people.

Faced with his ridicule, Gu Jianchang dared not say a word. If it were in the past, Qi Wuhui would have died hundreds of times already.

But there was Ye Qiu standing behind him, so he was so fearless.

It's obvious that they're disgusting to you, what can you do? You can't beat them, so you can only endure it.

"Damn, a bunch of rubbish..."

Gu Jianchang cursed angrily, turned his back and ignored Qi Wuhui's sarcastic expression.

As Lin Qingzhu passed the Dao of Questioning His Heart, a powerful luck was bestowed upon him.

Her potential value increased rapidly, reaching more than 80,000 points in one fell swoop.

This amazing breakthrough directly brought the ranking to tenth place.

Lu Yan, who was originally ranked eleventh, dropped directly to twelfth.

"Haha, Taoist Qingmiao, is this the top disciple you mentioned? You're no good, how come you lost one in the blink of an eye?"

"Hmph, Qi Wuhui, don't get complacent too soon. The next level is to ask the top level. Let's wait and see who is incompetent..."

Taoist Qingmiao was very angry and continued to shout.

Qi Wuhui was not willing to be outdone, "Okay, then let's just wait and see. Don't let this old man get mad at you, that would be bad."

"You should worry about yourself."

Qing Miao said this coldly, turned around and left, not wanting to bother with this guy anymore.

Looking back.

At this time, Lin Qingzhu had already stepped into the top floor.

After entering this floor, Lin Qingzhu's expression suddenly froze.

"Um?"

His eyes were full of confusion as he looked at the familiar figures in front of him, feeling somewhat bewildered.

At this moment, on the top floor, He Wushuang, Fuyao, Liu Qingfeng, as well as Lu Yan and Gu Haitang were almost all here.

There were also some unfamiliar faces that Lin Qingzhu didn't recognize.

"Oh, someone else is coming?"

Seeing that the door loosened a little and someone else entered here, Lu Yan looked over with a sneer.

But when he saw Lin Qingzhu, his smile suddenly froze and turned cold.

"Interesting, this is going to be fun..."

Seeing that the person coming was Lin Qingzhu, He Wushuang was stunned for a moment, then smiled.

On the other side, Liu Qingfeng slowly walked over and said, "Junior Sister Lin, you finally came up..."

Lin Qingzhu nodded and asked, "Brother, what's going on?"

There were so many people present, but no one took action. They just stood there, and no one knew what they were looking at.

Liu Qingfeng explained: "This is the level where the last ten people are selected. In other words, only ten people can reach the top of the mountain, hence the name 'Top Level'."

"At the moment, there are only eighteen people at the top, including you. We are two more people away from reaching twenty. As long as we have enough people, we can enter the final competition."

"We are waiting for the last two people to arrive..."

After listening to Liu Qingfeng's explanation, Lin Qingzhu suddenly realized that the reason they had been here was to wait for the last two spots.

Currently, the highest ranked is He Wushuang, followed by Fuyao.

Gu Haitang ranked sixth, Lu Yan ranked twelfth, and Liu Qingfeng ranked seventeenth.

Who will take the last two spots?

The quiet atmosphere seemed particularly depressing, and a silent fighting spirit slowly rose.

Although the battle has not yet started, the atmosphere has reached a climax.

After Lin Qingzhu entered here, she locked her eyes on Lu Yan at once. Noticing her provocative gaze, Lu Yan returned it without giving in.

He Wushuang took a look at it from the side and immediately became interested, and an idea popped into his mind.

"Haha, Brother Lu, it looks like she's got her eyes on you?"

Lu Yan said disdainfully: "Humph, she's just a yellow-haired girl, I don't even take her seriously."

"Oh? So Brother Lu is very confident?"

He Wushuang said with a smile, and seeing Lu Yan's confident look, he also wanted to laugh.

"Well...but I think you are no match for her."

As soon as these words were spoken, Lu Yan became furious. He could accept losing to anyone present except Lin Qingzhu.

"He Wushuang, what do you mean?"

He Wushuang shrugged, "It's nothing, I'm just telling the truth, what's more, didn't Brother Lu also lose to her before?"

After these words were spoken, Lu Yan suddenly turned cold, and a surge of anger rose in his heart, unable to refute for a moment.

He couldn't wait any longer and wanted to start now, then defeat Lin Qingzhu and prove himself.

Fuyao, who was silent and calm, watched them silently. She guessed at a glance that He Wushuang was deliberately stirring up trouble...

Just when everyone was still waiting, a little head suddenly poked in from outside the door.

Sensing the arrival of the nineteenth person, everyone turned around to look.

Suddenly a little girl rushed in.

“Senior Sister…”

Xiao Linglong excitedly rushed towards Lin Qingzhu.

"this……"

For a moment, everyone was stunned.

"Why is this nineteenth person a child?"
