Chapter 52: Guanxia, Ji Qing
A peak master said in shock, "If my eyes did not deceive me, Ji Yuenian just ignited a Grade 4 Heart Fire Sequnce!"
Peak Master Xuanyuan looked solemn and said with a heavy voice, "Also, this child not only raised the Grade of his Heart Fire previously from Grade 6 to 5, he has once again done the same. This matter is really too unbelievable."
"This disciple seems to continue to go up!" Liao Xun, the deputy peak master of Tongming Peak, looked a little suspicious, and murmured, "A superior bloodline that ignites the Heart Fire of the 4th Grade. Even in the six mountains and three realms of the Taiyu Holy Sect. It's not bad. It seems that Yu Yan girl won't be able to get first place in the assessment this time."
Although Yu Yan also had a superior bloodline with a Grade 4 Heart Fire Sequence, but according to the scene above the climbing cloud stone steps, Ji Yuenian's potential had clearly surpassed her.
Outside the Chaoxia Hall, there was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps.
A black-clothed disciple who was in the True Dao Realm entered the hall, looked up at the peak masters, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Reporting to Peak Master Liao, there is some news about that Ji Yuenian..."
Liao Xun's eyes narrowed, and he said, "What's the news?"
"This person is a disciple who was recommended by the ancient city of Taichu not long ago. He has been assigned to the Eclipse Peak by the Shanwu Palace. Now he should have an official Outer Sect disciple token." The disciple silently deliberated his wording, and spoke truthfully to the peak masters.
"What!?"
Peak Master Xuanyuan suddenly turned his head to the side and looked at the black-clothed disciple with an extremely fierce look, "It turns out that this child has already entered the Eclipse Peak! Why didn't you find out about it earlier? The entrance examination is related to the continuation of the inheritance of the Taiyu Sect. How dare you be so careless!"
Another peak master also had an angry look on his face. "Even though he has an amazing talent, Ji Yuenian is already a disciple of the Outer Sect, why should he take part in the entrance examination again? Such a blatant violation of the sect rules. It would be really hard to convince people not to punish him severely for the blatant violation of the sect rules."
Liao Xun's eyes were slightly cold. He took a step forward, and said towards Peak Master Xuanyuan, "Peak Master Xuanyuan, what do you mean by our Tongming Peak? There are nearly 200,000 souls in the entrance examination this time. According to the practice of previous years, the verification of identity is almost always done after the fourth level is over. The vast majority of unqualified people are first screened out and then checked one by one. At this time, they are only at the third level. Peak Master Xuanyuan is excellent, such authority!"
This was the Chaoxia Hall of Tongming Peak. Liao Xun, as the deputy peak master of Tongming Peak, naturally could not allow Peak Master Xuanyuan to scold his disciples from Tongming Peak like this.
"Everyone seems to have forgotten something." When the atmosphere between the two peak masters was a little tense, a faint voice spread throughout the Chaoxia Hall.
More than ten peak masters all looked at the person who opened the mouth, and it was Ji Qiong, the peak master of Guanxia Peak.
Ji Qiong, dressed in a green dress, stepped down from the throne, looked around for a second, and said softly: "Although this Eclipse Moon Peak is not well-known among the hundreds of peaks in the Luoxia Mountains, I suppose you haven't forgotten its owner?"
"It's just an unnamed mountain, Peak Master Ji Qiong. What is the origin of this Eclipse Peak?" A peak master looked unhappy, and even his words to Ji Qiong were quite disrespectful.
Ji Qiong glanced at him and said, "Peak Master Ying Ye, which mountain of the six mountains are you from?"
There was a hint of arrogance in the eyes of Peak Master Ying Ye as he said, "The second mountain range, the Luoyin Mountain Range."
"If that's the case, then peak master Ying Ye should know the name of the master of Eclipse Peak," Ji Qiong said with a smile, "This mountain is named after her."
Peak Master Ying Ye was stunned for a while, then muttered, his face gradually becoming hideous, "Eclipse Moon Peak... Eclipse moon, could it be her!!!"
Ji Qiong didn't blame him for the rudeness of calling him by his name, but nodded and said, "Yes, the peak master of Eclipse Peak is the Saintess Eclipse of the second mountain range."
"Peak Master Guanxia is really thoughtful."
Peak Master Xuanyuan sighed and shook his head, "I was a little hesitant when I heard the three words Eclipse Moon Peak. After all, although this mountain has been established in the Luoxia Mountains for a long time, it has never been known by its name. It didn't attract attention at all, and it made me forget about it for a while."
Peak Master Ying Ye was stunned for a while, then he clasped his hands towards Ji Qiong, and said, "Peak Master Guanxia, I have been rude."
"No matter," Ji Qiong shook his head. "I've heard some rules of the Saintess of the Luoyin Mountains back then. Although the Eclipse Peak is only a temporary mountain, it also has quite a few weird rules. Even the recommended disciples have to retake the assessment before they can be included in the Eclipse Peak."
Liao Xun glanced at the Peak Master Xuanyuan, and then said, "And if the disciples who were allotted to Eclipse Peak pass the assessment, they can only return to the Eclipse Peak, and cannot choose another mountain."
Peak Master Xuanyuan looked at Ji Yuenian above the climbing cloud stone steps through the light curtain, and there was a trace of pity in his eyes.
The Luoxia Mountains were only the Outer Sect of the Taiyu Holy Sect. Compared with the Six Mountains and Three Realms, they were extremely insignificant. Eclipse was the Holy Maiden of the Second Mountain Range. The rules set by her could not be shaken by him.
"The woman is really abominable. Hundreds of years ago, she erected a mountain here at will, and she never paid attention to it. The arrogance of a Grade 4 Heart Fire really is something!"
The blatant sarcasm spread throughout the Chaoxia Hall, but the person who spoke was a frivolous young man in white.
The expressions of the rest of the peak masters changed slightly, and when they saw the boy in white, they all showed a wry smile.
The Peak Master Xingyuan dared to directly state the omissions and mistakes of the Saintess of the Second Mountain Range because he had a very deep background and was not afraid of the Eclipse Moon. He turned his head away and pretended not to hear this.
At this moment, Ji Yuenian, who shone with red flames inside the light curtain, stepped up to the 286th stone step!
As Ji Yuenian ignited the Grade 4 Heart Fire Sequence, the invisible barrier in front of him gradually dissipated. Although it was also invaded by a huge and unparalleled pressure, the stone step was not impossible to cross.
The violent astral wind swept across the sky, and the huge cloudy vortex above his head swirled around. Ji Yuenian raised his head and glanced at the top of the unreachable stone step, and took another step!
287th step!
Behind him, Yu Yan was completely stunned, staring blankly at the young man's fluttering long jet-black hair not far ahead. She was unable to utter a complete sentence.
