Chapter 1294 He is a born hard worker
I saw the mist on the waist of Dengtian Mountain quickly condensed together to form thick clouds one after another. The clouds then merged together in a very short time to form a long and thin cloud belt.
The cloud belt spun in the air like a ribbon and then fell to the ground in the front row.
The leaders of various major sects stepped onto this cloud belt one after another, including the remaining four sects of the seven major sects that did not make the top nine, and many well-known leaders of sects in the upper cultivation world. A careful count revealed that there were ninety-one people in total.
This long and thin platform carried the ninety-one people quickly into the air and stopped at a position slightly lower than the altar. However, for people on the ground, it was still an unattainable and excellent viewing position.
They were the leaders of the top one hundred sects at the Ascension Conference a hundred years ago. The top nine were on the highest level of the spirit platform, one seat each, and were quite honorable. The top one hundred after the top nine were on the cloud platform, one level lower than the top nine.
I have to say that the Qingxuan Sect back then was really good at design.
Such a conference that differentiates levels based on performance can easily arouse people's yearnings. They want to be the best, to be looked up to by those below them, and they want their own sect to be high above, hanging at the top, and to share in the glory.
When Ye Linglong saw this, she suddenly thought, if the old man Hua Xiuyuan had not acted like a demon during the Worry-Free Tree a hundred years ago, perhaps he would have his own place in the Cloud Platform or even the Spirit Platform today.
The thought came quickly and went away just as quickly.
Because this idea is too absurd, Qingxuan Sect will never be the same as other sects.
There were no seats on the cloud platform, but it was not crowded with ninety-one people. Many leaders took out their own chairs and sat together with other leaders with whom they had good relationships, so that they could watch the ascension ceremony together.
In just a short while, all the leaders on the platform were seated.
In the very center of the platform, the perfect C position, Ye Linglong saw the remaining four leaders of the seven major sects. There were not many smiles on their faces, as if this was as it should be.
Ye Linglong chuckled.
That’s right, they are all from the seven major sects, some are high and mighty, some are inferior, and being on the same platform with the more than 80 sect leaders who are ranked lower than them, they do feel wronged.
Sitting on the altar is the treatment they deserve.
Ye Linglong's gaze did not stay on them for long, because soon another bell sounded in the air. This sound was different from the previous ones. It was long and distant, with an ethereal feeling, as if it came from the distant past.
Everyone raised their heads, including the distinguished leaders on the spirit platform and the cloud platform, and flew towards the top of Dengtian Mountain.
I saw an old man standing on a few simple white clouds flying down from the top of Dengtian Mountain with a cane. He was not dressed gorgeously, his appearance was not outstanding, and he did not even have the aura of a strong man.
He just flew down from the mountain as if he was going out to greet guests coming from afar.
But all the people looked at him with awe. Even the leaders on the spirit platform and cloud platform stood up one after another. No one dared to sit in front of him.
He flew down with a smile on his face, looked at the people below and waved his hands gently.
"I'm sorry for not welcoming you in person. Please forgive me, all the distinguished guests. Please sit down. Please don't be so polite. I'm very happy to see this lively event that only happens once every hundred years, but I'm old now. I don't know if I can see you again next time."
"Zhongsheng, you are joking. You are still strong and can watch this excitement for many more years."
The leaders on the altar responded to his words respectfully.
Ye Linglong looked up at the old man who was at the highest point at that moment, Mr. Zhou Zhongsheng.
I heard that he has been guarding this Dengtian Mountain for many years and is responsible for its opening and closing. His cultivation has reached the late stage of transcending tribulation, but for some reason he has not ascended yet and has been guarding it for so many years.
The Qingxuan Sect disappeared ten thousand years ago, and Senior Zhongsheng could not have lived for more than ten thousand years without ascending to heaven, so he had no direct contact with the Qingxuan Sect.
But he has been guarding this Dengtian Mountain here, which makes Ye Linglong feel that he may know something about the young Xuanzong.
Ye Linglong also had a feeling that no one knew that the Worry-Free Tree came from the Qingxuan Sect, but everyone knew that the Dengtian Mountain came from the Qingxuan Sect, so it must be related to Senior Zhongsheng.
No matter what, she must get good enough results in this Ascension Competition so that she can meet and talk to him, and she will not let go of any clues.
Zhou Zhongsheng in mid-air was seen smiling kindly and waving his hands vigorously.
"I know my own body, but don't worry, even if I go, there will be no one to take care of this Dengtian Mountain."
Having said that, he turned around and waved towards the clouds above Mount Dengtian.
"What are you waiting for? Come down to me quickly. You are so slow. Are you some weak, sickly person from someone's family? If you can't even come down the mountain, what use do I have for you? Come on!"
After he finished speaking, everyone raised their heads in surprise and looked above the clouds, only to see a figure hurriedly and staggering down from above. When he came down, his face was pale and his whole body was covered in sweat, and it was obvious that every step he took was difficult.
“Here it comes…”
When Senior Zhongsheng's disciple appeared, everyone gasped.
Although Senior Zhongsheng said it lightly, everyone knows that the higher you go up Mt. Tianshan, the harder it is to climb. That is the highest point of Mt. Tianshan, and he actually came down from the top!
Although the process is difficult, but... this is normal, isn't it?
But then he thought, if he was not a disciple of Senior Zhongsheng, who would believe that someone could come down from Mount Dengtian?
Although the journey was difficult, no one looked down on him, because although he looked very young, his cultivation had already reached the late Mahayana stage!
Needless to say, he will definitely take over Dengtian Mountain in the future, but does that also mean that Senior Zhongsheng is really coming to an end?
This was Ye Linglong's first reaction when he heard that Senior Zhongsheng had a disciple.
Fortunately, she made it in time, and fortunately she came this time. If she came again next time, Senior Zhongsheng would have passed away. Who would she go to for inquiries about matters related to the Qingxuan Sect?
But soon, her relief was replaced by shock.
Because she knew the person who had crawled down from the top in such a difficult situation!
At this moment, all her fellow disciples from the Qingxuan Sect turned around and looked at her. She felt very complicated for a moment.
"How should I put it? He seems to like to meddle in other people's business. Whenever there is a big meeting, he will show up. He is young and always nagging. Previously, he promised to manage the sect alliance and not come to the upper cultivation world. Now, he has been captured by the master to manage Dengtian Mountain. Maybe he is born to be a hard worker."
