Chapter 202: Daoist Venerable! Public Fury! Get Over Here!
Immortal Platform Mountain.
This mountain towers a thousand feet high, enveloped in mist with eternal Dao resonance, and a grand array tightly seals the area.
As the Immortal Spirit Sect's crucial Inheritance Land, it is usually strictly forbidden for others to approach.
But today, atop Immortal Platform Mountain, several extraordinary young men are laughing and chatting.
"I've heard that the Immortal Spirit Emperor is one of the three incarnations of the Daoist Venerable. I wonder if that's true?"
"It should be true. It's said that the Daoist Venerable left a Secret Technique in the Immortal Spirit Sect. Anyone who can perfectly comprehend the Divine Acupoint can unlock the seal."
"Tsk tsk, connecting 365 perfect Divine Acupoints, what an extraordinary Immortal Technique. I wonder if anyone among us can comprehend it this time."
The gathered prodigies discussed excitedly, their eyes filled with anticipation as they gazed at the cliff on the opposite mountain, sealed by the grand array.
The background of the Immortal Spirit Sect has always been talked about with great interest.
Ordinary Great Emperor inheritances are ample on the Cangyan Continent, yet they are not unusual.
But if it's the fabled Daoist Venerable's legacy, its significance is monumental.
The Daoist Venerable, one of the most powerful Great Emperors, rivals the Martial Ancestor who opened the heavens.
Unlike the Martial Ancestor, the Daoist Venerable's legacy has spread widely, creating a dominating situation for Taoism in the Eastern Domain.
Of those who cultivate Daoist arts, nine out of ten come from the Eastern Domain.
Strangely, despite the vast legacy left by the Daoist Venerable, many legendary powerful Dao techniques have been lost.
Some speculate that the Divine Acupoint Dao Map in the Immortal Spirit Sect, along with the rumored sealed Secret Technique, might be the true inheritance of the Daoist Venerable.
This has led many Taoist prodigies, upon initially entering the Spirit Realm, to come to the Immortal Spirit Sect at any cost.
And now, atop the mountain stands an exceptional Taoist prodigy.
"If anyone's Cultivation Technique comprehension is closest to perfection this time, it must be the young Daoist 'Jing Tong'."
Someone chuckled, drawing everyone's attention to the person at the center of the group.
He is still young, merely fifteen or sixteen years old, draped in a Dao robe, his emotions vividly expressed, and his small face full of arrogance.
"The technique I comprehend must be over three hundred Divine Acupoints!"
Jing Tong spoke confidently, his small hands clasped behind him, without the slightest hint of humility.
"Ha ha, young Daoist hails from the leading Taoist sect 'Profound Pure Sect', and possesses the ethereal Sacred Body, naturally extraordinary."
"But Brother Mu Yun's Flame Spiritual Body surely isn't weak either."
Someone said playfully, his eyes twinkling.
"Ha, merely three hundred Divine Acupoints, a mere flick."
Mu Yun stood tall, his demeanor calm, his tone no less arrogant than Jing Tong's.
"We'll see then!" Jing Tong replied disdainfully.
The Immortal Platform Mountain has yet to open, but the atmosphere here is already tense.
Those who can come here are all exceptional prodigies from major forces, their prowess and talent are rare in this world, naturally harboring thoughts of rivalry.
Now, provoked by others, each is eager to begin.
"Why is it so slow this year? I've been here for half a month, why hasn't it started!"
A prodigy impatiently questioned, others also frowned, discussing among themselves.
It was then.
Xian Yuchen, who had been closely monitoring for Xian Banmeng's return these past two days, walked over with a somber face.
Xian Banmeng had returned, and brought back a man, he saw it himself.
His suspended heart finally fell, and that indescribable rage peaked.
"Brother Yuchen, wasn't the quota filled? Why hasn't it started?"
Seeing Xian Yuchen, Mu Yun frowned and asked irritably.
Others remained silent, but their expressions weren't pleasant either.
Xian Yuchen saw this, his eyes flickering as he suppressed the anger in his heart, and smiled with clasped hands:
"My apologies, everyone, there has been a change in this year's opening of Immortal Platform Mountain."
"The quota was initially sufficient, but someone intervened, resulting in some alterations."
"Unexpectedly, one of us will have to withdraw."
Upon hearing this, everyone immediately boiled with anger.
"What a joke! I spent a lot and waited so long, now I'm told to leave?"
"Indeed, I won't leave. This is not how you Immortal Spirit Sect should treat people!"
"No matter who arrives! Tell him to get lost, he has no place this year..."
The Immortal Spirit Sect is strong, but everyone present is from influential backgrounds.
They have refrained from cutting the line, now someone wants to push them out of it?
No need for Xian Yuchen to elaborate, the group immediately united.
No matter who arrives, they absolutely will not yield!
"Sigh, I'm helpless too."
Xian Yuchen smirked inwardly but showed a helpless expression:
"The Sect Leader said, since an extra person arrived, whoever enters Immortal Platform Mountain relies on their ability, the rules thus set."
"Mm... That person should arrive soon."
Just as he finished speaking, Mu Yun disdainfully smiled: "Rules decided? That's easy."
"Since we're here to comprehend the Dao Map, it must be early stage of the Spirit Realm."
"At the same realm, which one of us isn't a prodigy? Scared of him alone?"
Jing Tong nodded at his words, spoke arrogantly, "Watch from the side, I'll defeat him in three moves!"
Upon hearing this, everyone burst into confident laughter.
"Someone who doesn't know their place, wanting to cut in line, not knowing what this place is!"
"Ha ha, it'll be amusing. I've been bored waiting all these days."
"Hey, wonder if that kid will be scared by us when he arrives..."
The group of distinguished prodigies barely gave a thought to the approaching Su Changqing.
With their backgrounds, brilliant talents, and battle prowess, each was filled with confidence.
Seeing this situation, Xian Yuchen couldn't help but coldly smile as he looked into the distance,
"Kid, I'll make Banmeng witness you begging for mercy on your knees!"
...
At this time, beneath Immortal Platform Mountain.
"Mr. Su, this is Immortal Platform Mountain, you can go up on your own."
Seeing Su Changqing before her, the usually stern Xian Lan couldn't help but show a gentle smile.
When Su Changqing underwent the personal disciple assessment path, she watched nearby, thus fully understanding how outstanding the young man is.
Top-notch in temperament and wisdom, even though he didn't take on the final challenge, his achievement is remarkable.
Even someone as rigid as her couldn't find fault.
"Thank you for escorting me, Elder."
Su Changqing smiled and bowed respectfully, then leisurely made his way up Immortal Platform Mountain.
On the way, Xian Lan had briefly explained the illusion trial he just experienced as a test to enter Immortal Platform Mountain.
Therefore, he felt nothing was amiss.
"Banmeng found herself a nice Dao companion."
Looking at the steady and polite young man, Xian Lan lightly chuckled, then vanished with a sweep of her large sleeve.
"I wonder what the Divine Acupoint Dao Map is like, and how to comprehend it..."
Filled with anticipation, Su Changqing quickly ascended to the top of Immortal Platform Mountain.
The thick Dao resonance enveloped the area, clouds churned, and ahead stood a group of outstanding youths.
Seeing these prodigies, Su Changqing understood they were the candidates to soon comprehend the Dao Map.
Being new here and unfamiliar with everything, Su Changqing intended to seek advice first.
Thus, he stepped forward with a gentle smile and clasped hands:
"Greetings, fellow Daoists, I am here..."
However.
Before Su Changqing could finish his words, a sneer suddenly rang out from the crowd.
"Who's your Daoist friend? Get over here!"
