Sheng Ning was still worried that something might happen to Qiu Qiu.
Just as their necks were getting sore from looking up, the two vines that had been standing on the ground finally started to move.
"Chirp chirp!"
Upon hearing the commotion, Sheng Ning's expression grew increasingly serious.
With a click, the towering gate standing before them opened.
The golden light was dazzling.
Sheng Ning and the others instinctively raised their arms to shield their eyes, and at the same time, a dense spiritual energy rushed towards their faces.
Before they could remove their arms, a calm and kind voice rang in their ears.
"My dear young people, did you drop this golden stick or this silver stick?"
Sheng Ning lowered his arm and saw an old man in a white robe standing at the door, holding a golden branch and a silver branch in his hands.
As for her chirping...
With a serious expression, Sheng Ning spoke in a deep voice, "This... Venerable One, what I threw away was just an ordinary twig. Did you see it?"
Someone who can appear in such a place, in such an awesome way.
Their status must be extraordinary.
Sheng Ning thought of Jiu Jiu in her heart, regretting that she hadn't formed a bond with it.
She had mentioned several times before that she wanted to form a bond with Chiu Chiu, but the little tree branch had its own temper.
Whenever she mentioned forming a bond, it would run to a big tree on the back hill and pretend to be a branch, ignoring her.
After several attempts, Sheng Ning finally stopped mentioning the matter of forming a contract.
Now that Qiuqiu is gone, Sheng Ning doesn't need any gold or silver sticks; she just wants her little twig.
As soon as Sheng Ning finished speaking, the old man in front of her smiled even more.
“My lovely young people, since you are so honest, please come with me.”
Upon hearing this, Sheng Ning frowned, "Where's my little twig?"
The old man chuckled and turned around very slowly. "My lovely young man, please come with me."
What's the meaning?
Is he a broken record?
Sheng Ning frowned and stepped forward, but she had only taken two steps when she overtook the old man beside her.
She had to stop and wait.
Yu didn't have as much patience as her.
Seeing that the old man was walking at a snail's pace, he couldn't help but bend down and hoist the man onto his shoulder. "Grandpa, tell me, where do we go?"
The old man was so frightened that he screamed on the spot.
He wanted to go down, but Yu didn't understand his meaning at all and carried him to continue walking forward.
"Young man, you are not cute at all."
Sheng Ning was anxious to find Qiu Qiu, but all she could see was a blinding white.
One side is absolute black.
On one side, there is pure white.
Sheng Ning's lips pressed into a straight line, and after a long while, she finally spoke in a deep voice, "May I ask, Venerable One, where is this place?"
The old man was carried on Yu Ye's shoulders, and the bumpy ride made him look pale and sickly.
Upon hearing Sheng Ning's question, he subconsciously smiled, "Yes... this place is Tianling Mountain, an ancient blessed land, and also Yue..."
"It is a metaphor to put down the venerable one."
Su Daiyuan raised his hand to his forehead and reminded Yu Ye to put the person down.
"Tianling Mountain? Is that the legendary Tianling Mountain where the divine beast Xuanwu resides?"
Lu Qing'an frowned, seemingly not expecting them to come to Tianling Mountain from the secret realm.
However, the place where they were located did not look like a mountain at all.
Seeing their disbelief, the old man suppressed the urge to collapse to the ground due to his weak legs and continued to speak with a smile, "My dear young man, this is not the Heavenly Spirit Mountain where the divine beast Xuanwu resides."
Lu Qingan looked up at the old man, gesturing for him to continue.
"This is the sacred mountain where the four divine beasts reside!"
When Sheng Ning first read this book, the author did not describe in detail how the female protagonist, Shi Yueyao, led the disciples of the Taixu Sect to obtain the inheritance in the treasure cave.
The author only wrote that they had been in the treasure cave for a long time, so long that five days had passed after the sect competition ended before they reappeared on Wuwang Island.
The sect competition had already ended by then, and that was the only time the Taixu Sect did not win first place in the competition.
Even though they didn't get first place, they gained so much more.
Ancient traditions.
It seems they have entered Tianling Mountain and obtained many more and better treasures.
Thinking of this, Sheng Ning lowered her eyes to hide her emotions. "May I ask, Venerable One, where is my little branch?"
The ever-smiling old man seemed to sigh.
He picked up the golden staff in his hand, pointed to a corner, and said, "Congratulations, young man, for passing my test. Your little branch is over there. Go now."
After he finished speaking, he tapped his finger lightly.
The white light before Sheng Ning and the others suddenly transformed into towering mountains.
Unlike Chongwu Mountain, the spiritual energy here is noticeably stronger.
After thanking the old man with clasped hands, Sheng Ning and his companions headed in the direction he indicated.
After Sheng Ning and the others left, the old man spoke with a beaming smile, "This world is bound to change eventually."
"Bai Ze, don't let everyone down."
He had barely finished speaking when he heard another knock on the door.
A smile returned to his wrinkled face.
The old man took out a gold sword and a silver sword from his robes and walked forward with a smile.
"My dear young people, may I ask which sword you dropped: the gold one or the silver one?"
However, this time he did not encounter a cultivator as easy to talk to as Sheng Ning.
A long sword was held against his neck.
