NOVEL WEB Chapter 59: Passing The Sect’s Task
[Inner Domain, The Great Mount Kunlun Mountain, Third Layer]
The morning sunlight glowed on the entire area at the third layer of the Great Mount Kunlun mountain, along with the sound of the birds chipping, the clear spring, and the fresh leaves that fell upon the land from the trees, creating a peaceful and unforgettable scenery.
The white cloud surrounded it while floating around the mountain, bringing a misty and foggy feeling.
Spreading her spiritual sense to explore the surrounding environment, Huang Ying Yue then took Huang Wan Yan to a clear lake covered by huge rocks and trees. She asked him to take a shower, and after he finished, she cleaned herself and took out a new Hanfu dress to wear.
She can't go to the Ethereal Small World now because it is controlled by the sect. If she wasn't careful, she might expose her space.
Huang Ying Yue and Huang Wan Yan walked back to the old place. Again, everyone looked at her with unknown gazes.
"Oh, the beggar is finally back!" The spoil girl, Xiang FongFong in a beautiful pink Hanfu dress, scoffed and raised her face highly as if she were looking down on Huang Ying Yue.
Huang Ying Yue ignored the girl again. She didn't waste her time dealing with this kind of person who looked down on other people unreasonably.
Huang Wan Yan glanced at the girl for a second; his eyes turned cold. But a second glance was enough to make Xiang Fongfong react to the danger.
Feeling that her back was cold, Xiang Fongfong looked around in vigilanteness and found nothing. She doubted if this was her illusion.
Huang Ying Yue found a big tree, jumped on it, and then closed her eyes to rest. These days, she worked hard without having time to relax. She closed her eyes to enjoy the freshness of nature.
The girl's long satin black hair swayed gently as the breeze blew by, and her breath was always calm and quiet. The beautiful face at this time was soft. Huang Ying Yue closed her eyes without caring about the surrounding gazes.
.....
(A week later)
Finally, the end of the sect's task and the beginning of a new challenge were coming. One by one, the number of rookies who successfully reached the third layer of the Great Mount Kunlun mountain increased day by day.
12 rookies reached the third layer of the Great Kunlun Mountain. These rookies will undoubtedly become extraordinary in the future.
"Good! Good! The result is much better than every year I've seen!" Out of nowhere, Elder Li appeared with Elder Lou as he touched his white beard in satisfaction.
"...…." Everyone looked at the two figures in doubt as they stood up and stood neatly in front of the two elders.
"You know, climbing the third layer of the Great Mount Kunlun mountain without using any spiritual power in three months was an impossible task." Elder Lou explained as he gazed at everyone.
"Elder Lou was right! Think about it: which normal person would climb such a high mountain that reached the sky in just three months? Here, we talked about the person who is not using any spiritual power. Who could do it in just a short period of time?" Elder Li shook his head, seeing the rookies' weird expression.
"What's the meaning and the objective behind this task, then?" Huang Bai Xing's cold voice sounded. Dressing in the white hanfu dress, her beautiful face was expressionless yet attractive because of the extraordinary breath that emitted from her body.
Deserving to be the heroine, regardless of what she said or did, she was destined to be in the limelight and high-profile.
"Good question! Before I answer all your doubts, let me bring all the other rookies here." Elder Li nodded as he waved his hand.
A moment later, around four thousand people in tattered and dirty clothes appeared in the third layer of the Great Kunlun mountain.
Fortunately, the mountain was extremely massive, so it wasn't crowded at all. Elder Lou separated the rookies in each place according to their performance.
"What happened?"
"Ugh! I remembered that I was struggling to fight with the windy snake war beast in the first layer. Where am I? Why are there so many people?"
"What! I was just seeing the pile of mountain treasures in front of me; where were those?"
Countless shocking voices sounded as the quiet environment suddenly turned noisy like a market of fish.
"Be quiet!" Elder Lou unleashed 0.01 of his pressure as he used his spiritual power to command the rookies.
The rookies immediately shut up and looked at the two elders respectfully.
"I believed that everyone had doubts about what was happening and why you were here. Do you remember what day it is today?" Elder Lou asked sternly with a serious face.
"...…" The rookies were quiet for a moment.
"Today is the deadline for your task. What did Elder Li say? He asked you to reach the third layer of the Great Mount Kunlun mountain in three months." This sentence made the rookies, who were in confusion, suddenly open their eyes wide.
"Don't show me this kind of expression. I won't bubble much nonsense. I am summoning you all here now just for three main objectives."
"Firstly, congratulations to those who appeared here. You all passed the task and will now officially become our sect's disciples. You are destined to be a part of our sect's glory and receive prestige that ordinary people cannot have." His words made all the rookies' faces turn from stun to delightful.
"I passed! I passed hahaha, I really passed!"
"I can do it! Mother, father, look at your child! I'm not useless anymore! I can finally bring back glory and my achievements to you."
"I've never imagined that I would pass with my weak ability and poor spiritual root!"
"We can do it! All our struggles and perseverance finally paid off!"
The sound of joy ran throughout the entire mountain, and the sunlight shone on everyone's tearful and exciting expressions. The bird seemed to sing a song to congratulate all of these rookies' successful accomplishments.
Some rookies hugged each other tearfully in their dirty clothes.
Elder Li and Elder Lou lifted the corner of their lips in a good mood, as if they'd returned to the old days when they used to be the rookies too.
Huang Ying Yue's expressionless face softened as if she were affected by this warm celebration.
Huang Bai Xing frowned. What a newborn baby! Just passing this road made them so happy like this? So naive!
After a long time of cheering, Elder Li raised his hand to stop them.
"You might be wondering why you all here have passed. For those who persist and keep on climbing the sharp step just to reach their goal, we, the Divine Kunlun sect, will never wrong these kinds of talented people with such courageous and dauntless minds."
"The moment you decided to accept the sect's task of climbing from the foot of the mountain until the first layer, the second layer until you've reached the third layer of the Great Mount Kunlun mountain, you have our special regard."
"The moment you've decided not to give up on this task's difficulty in the moment of your life and death, we have recognized your effort and bravery of soul as well as your desperation and resoluteness to become strong." Elder Li's powerful words seemed to echo throughout the entire mountain.
The rookies felt so proud of their accomplishments and were so emotional that they couldn't speak or think properly. Such a powerful person praises them; how could they now feel delightful?
