Zhang Chuan looked at his mother's busy figure, and a touch of emotion flashed in his eyes.

At this time, Zhang's father also came over with his old pipe.

He tapped the pipe on the table and exhaled a puff of smoke, only to cough a few times because of the pungent smoke.

"Chuan'er, you are strong and have been very powerful since you were young. I have always suspected that you have a special physique. This time I have pieced together ten pieces of scattered spirit stones."

"I've connected with the deacon who is recruiting disciples this time."

"This time, I must join the sect no matter what."

"Although you have had some strength since childhood, you must know how to hide your weaknesses, your strengths, and your wisdom in a sect. You cannot stand out too much. You must know that the leading ship will be the first to rot."

"When encountering things, you should think more and consider more, so as not to cause trouble for no reason."

"We are both old now. We don't ask you to achieve great things. We just hope that you can live a peaceful life."

As she spoke, Zhang's mother gently wiped the corners of her eyes.

Father Zhang also looked a little lonely.

My child could walk at the age of three, could lift a cow at the age of seven, and now he is sixteen years old and is stronger than a cow.

But, after all, he is just a child and his mind is not mature yet.

I have some worries in my heart during this long journey.

"Father, Mother, rest assured, I will practice hard and achieve something to live up to your expectations."

"However, father, is the person you are looking for reliable? Will you be deceived? Now that the news of Feitian Sect recruiting disciples has spread, the streets are full of middlemen who communicate with the upper sect. I don't know whether it is true or not. Be careful not to be deceived."

Zhang's father and mother looked at each other.

"You know nothing. This matter concerns your future and destiny. Whether it is true or false, you have to give it a try. Even if you are deceived, your father is willing to do it."

At midnight, the winter night was completely silent.

There is a light in Chen’s Pharmacy, dim and hypnotic.

But at this time, the people in the house had no desire to sleep.

"Boss, the world is in chaos right now. I don't know what will happen to Chuan'er's apprenticeship, and I don't know what the situation is with Feitian Sect."

"Don't worry, my husband. I mortgaged this shop and borrowed 20 spiritual stones. I bought some spiritual materials for Chuan'er to replenish his body. In addition, I borrowed 10 spiritual stones from my mother's family. I have a total of 30 spiritual stones, which I have already put in Chuan'er's package."

"That's good... That's good."

"Madam, you come from a family of cultivators. Do you know the reputation of Feitian Sect? Is there any hope for Chuan'er to join the sect this time?"

“Although the Feitian Sect has a short history, it has a good reputation in the world of immortal cultivation. It acts in an upright manner and has always supported the poor disciples in the sect. There are five or six magic spells in the sect, all of which are very powerful. As long as you can cultivate one of them, it will be a rare and good inheritance.”

"In addition, whether I can successfully join the Feitian Sect is still unknown."

"This time, Feitian Sect is recruiting disciples with great momentum. There are countless disciples from the Dayun Dynasty, the Western Regions, and the Southern Wilderness, and there are countless peerless geniuses. Chuan'er has good qualifications, but you and I are just casual cultivators in the early stage of Tongqi, and ordinary mortals. The resources we can provide for him are limited."

"This background is still a little bit off after all."

"Having said that, I believe Chuan'er will definitely stand out. He has been extremely intelligent and studious since he was young. If it weren't for the misfortune in his family, he would probably have been a cultivator by now."

"Yes, my husband is right. Chuan'er is indeed very talented. With his hard work these days, I believe he will be able to seize this opportunity. However, things are unpredictable. Feitian Sect's standard for selecting disciples is extremely strict. Not only must they have extraordinary cultivation, but they must also have a tenacious character."

"Chuan'er has always been tough and steady since he was young. This may be his greatest advantage. Didn't you often say that the master of both swords and sabers, Ye Laozu of Feitian Sect, was also of average talent and relied on hard training to reach his current position?"

"Besides, since Feitianmen values ​​talents so much, I think they should also see Chuan'er's efforts."

"That's the only way. If all else fails, I'll go back home and ask my family to give me a cultivation method, so that Chuan'er can have a cultivation inheritance."

"This is really embarrassing for my lady. I know that since you followed me as a first-level mortal, you have not been welcomed by the family. This time when you returned home to raise spiritual stones, you must have been looked down upon by many people."

"This is a small matter. It has nothing to do with Chuan'er's future. Some mocking words are not worth mentioning. I just hope that Chuan'er can be safe and sound and achieve something in the future."

"Oh, my dear, I remember that one of your ancestors worked in Feitian Sect and left behind a jade bean, which was a symbol of winning three prizes in a row. Although the bean is a bit old due to age, it is made of extraordinary material. You might as well let Chuan'er wear it, maybe it can bring him some good luck."

"That's what the lady said."

After finishing speaking, the man walked to the side and took out a jade bean. Although it had gone through years of baptism, the bean still exuded a warm luster.

Father Zhang gently wiped the lucky bean and handed it to his wife.

"Madam, please put it on Chuan'er."

The couple looked through the window and saw Zhang Chuan practicing hard in the courtyard outside, and a glimmer of hope appeared in their eyes.

As the night deepened, the candlelight in the house flickered, as if foreshadowing the unknown and dangers ahead.

But they also know that for Zhang Chuan, this may be the only chance to change his destiny.

……

In Feitian Gate.

As the news that Feitianmen was recruiting disciples spread everywhere, all kinds of letters flew to Feitianmen like snowflakes.

The content is nothing more than that one's nephews, relatives or friends want to join the Feitian Sect and hope that there will be an acquaintance who can take care of them.

Even Ye Yang welcomed a friend he hadn't seen for many years.

He was tall, wearing a blood-stained robe, and was standing at the bottom. His originally cold face was now filled with a smile.

Ye Yang looked at the Blood Demon Saint.

After not seeing each other for many years, the Blood Demon Saint suddenly appeared. He was much more mature than before, and was holding a child in his hands. Ye Yang didn't need to think too much, he already knew the other party's intention.

I'm afraid he wants to entrust the child to Feitianmen for training.

However, he pretended to know nothing and just started talking about the past.

"Brother Xue Yao, time flies and years pass by. We have known each other for many years, and before I knew it, you have even had descendants."

Ye Yang said with a smile, his eyes falling gently on the child.

The Blood Demon Saint nodded slightly, with a hint of emotion in his eyes.

"To be precise, it has been one hundred and forty years. Time flies, and before we know it, we have all grown old. This is my son, named Xue Yan."

"He has shown an extraordinary spiritual root since he was young. I hope he can practice in Feitian Sect and become a true cultivator."

Ye Yang was a little confused.

"Fellow Daoist, the Blood Demon Sect is also a large sect with many years of inheritance, and you are a cultivator at the level of a real person. Why do you let your child come to the Feitian Sect to practice? Isn't that seeking something far away?"

After hearing this, the Blood Demon Saint's expression darkened slightly, and then he sighed.

"Brother Ye, you don't know that although the Blood Demon Sect is powerful, the path of cultivation is too extreme. They peel off the skin, pull out the tendons, dig out the liver, and open the abdomen. The various pains that must be endured are far beyond what ordinary people can endure."

"When I was practicing, I was able to force myself to gain pleasure from the pain, but now that I have a son, I don't know why I don't want him to endure this kind of pain anymore."

"I want to give him a quiet and peaceful environment for cultivation, so I hope that he can grow up in Feitianmen and learn to face the various challenges on the road of cultivation independently."

Ye Yang nodded thoughtfully, understanding the Blood Demon Saint's painstaking efforts.

No matter how high his cultivation level is, the feeling as a father is always the same.

Everyone hopes that their children can grow up safely and happily.

Ye Yang smiled and patted the Blood Demon Saint on the shoulder, comforting him.

"Don't worry, I already know your intention, but this time the sect takes the recruitment of disciples very seriously. All disciples need to pass the sect entrance examination. We will give him a fair chance."

"I believe that there will be no problem with Xueyan."

At this time, Xue Yan stood aside, listening to the conversation between the two elders, with a hint of curiosity in his eyes.

"Father, is this the Senior Ye that was mentioned in the legend?"

Xue Yan followed his father's gaze and saw Ye Yang standing not far away, emitting a faint light, as if he had merged with the surrounding environment. He was even more powerful than the father he had always admired.

It is an aura of transcendence that makes people feel awe involuntarily.

He couldn't help but clench his fists and secretly vowed in his heart that he must practice hard and strive to reach this level as soon as possible.

The Blood Demon Saint answered softly, which was both an advice to the child and a compliment in front of Ye Yang.

"Yes, Brother Ye was already an outstanding figure among the younger generation at that time. Not only was his knife skills superb, but his sword skills were also astonishing to the world."

"Back then, he used the Thirteen Swords of Time to turn his black hair into white hair in the blink of an eye, and became famous on the Hidden Dragon List. Later, he repeatedly performed extraordinary feats in several crises, and even dared to go against the real person when he was at the warrior level."

"two"

Speaking of this, there was a hint of something special in the eyes of the Blood Demon Saint.

"If you are lucky enough to become his disciple, you must cherish the opportunity and study hard."

Xue Yan nodded in agreement, his heart full of anticipation.

He knew that if he could become a disciple of this legendary monk, it would be of great help to his future cultivation. At this moment, Ye Yang seemed to have noticed the father and son.

Over the past hundred years, those who have been able to cultivate to their level have experienced countless things in the world.

They are all the best of the best. How could he not understand the implied meaning of the Blood Demon Saint's words?

But he has always attached great importance to the matter of learning from his teacher.

After many years of practice, he only has two disciples, Huo Bingshuang and Chu Chuan.

Even these two people only obtained a part of his inheritance.

But one should not hit a smiling person. After all, the Blood Demon Saint has known him for many years. Besides, the other party has now reached the realm of true person, which is no trivial matter.

Ye Yang smiled and said.

"Brother Xue Yao, there is no rush now. We can discuss this later. You have not been to my Feitian Sect for many years. You must not leave until you are drunk today. I have already asked the kitchen to prepare spiritual food. Among them is the purple lion goose that you longed for so much back then."

"Uncle Ye, I am fully prepared. No matter how difficult it is, I will not give up!"

Hearing Xue Yan's words, Ye Yang led them out of the room with an approving smile.

"Good! You have ambition! As expected, a tiger father will have a dog son. Back then, your father was famous for his dragon-tiger golden wheel. I hope you can remember your promise today and don't bring shame to his reputation."

……

After sending away the Blood Demon Saint, Ye Yang continued to dive his consciousness into the imperial mausoleum of the Dayun Dynasty.

After the Black and White Twins were taken back to the Five-Colored Giant Nest by the Black Sin Peacock King some time ago, the Black Sin Peacock King has not appeared again. All matters are now under the responsibility of the Peacock Saint Yunqing.

The Peacock Saint naturally didn’t know that the person behind the black and white twins was Ye Yang.

Today, some spirit stones were delivered as usual and placed on the table.

At this moment, Ye Yang was controlling the black and white twins, carefully sensing the cultivation level of the Peacock Saint.

She had reached the pinnacle of the warrior realm many years ago.

But for unknown reasons, he has not been able to break through to the realm of true person for many years.

Actually, this Peacock Saint should be the first genius Ye Yang had come into contact with. Before she was even twenty years old, she was already ranked in the top 100 on the Hidden Dragon List.

At that time, the two met on Qingming Island and conspired to seize the inheritance of Lord Qingming, and later they formed a deep bond.

But times have changed and she has been blown away by the wind and rain, and gradually she has been unable to keep up with some people.

"Since Master has arranged for you to stay here, you should wait here. I think he will summon you in a few days."

Ye Yang heard the hidden meaning in her words, controlled the black and white twins to step forward, and then spoke.

"Fairy, I wonder what arrangements you have for next."

Yunqing smiled slightly, with a hint of admiration in her eyes.

"Since the master has arranged for you to stay here, I think it won't be long before you receive the news."

Ye Yang's heart moved when he heard this, knowing that Saint Yunqing didn't want to say more, so he spoke.

"Thank you fairy!"

"In that case, you should take a good rest."

After saying that, Yunqing walked out.

Ye Yang knew that the Black Sin Peacock King must be planning something in secret, but since the other party was not in a hurry, he was not in a hurry to take action either.

So he rested in the five-colored giant nest on the giant tree.

Although this place is in the imperial mausoleum, the five-colored giant nest is filled with rich spiritual energy. Ye Yang can see clearly that this is a magic weapon carried by the Black Sin Great Peacock King, which has opened up a place for cultivation in this space.

The giant nest is shrouded in spiritual energy all year round. The five-colored giant nest is brightly lit, and there is a special spiritual energy hidden in it. The air is fresh, and although it is filled with fog, the glittering light creates a unique scene.

After waiting for another three or four days, the Great Peacock King of Evil Sins still did not appear.

It is already early morning.

But the weather today is very strange. There is no sun. When I walked out of the giant nest, there was heavy fog in the distance, and there was an indescribable chill!

Woo! Woo! Woo!
Suddenly, a strong wind blew up between heaven and earth.

Ye Yang keenly felt that something was wrong, so he controlled the black and white twins, holding swords, and remained silent, scanning the surroundings with sharp eyes, always alert to any possible threats.

Gradually the strong winds stopped and bloody rain began to fall from the sky.

Blood rain poured down, as if gushing out from the depths of the Nine Nether Hell, instantly dyeing the ground an eerie red.

The air was filled with a strong smell of blood and decay, which was terrifying.

With a thunderous roar.

Lightning bolts tore through the sky, and in the rumbling fog ahead, the outline of a magnificent, huge and ancient city appeared.

The huge city seemed to have awakened from the dust of history, exuding an indescribable pressure.

On top of the city walls, countless skulls piled up like a mountain, forming a daunting barrier.

At this moment, with a creak, the huge and ancient city gate slowly opened, and inside there were countless demons of various shapes and sizes. They made deafening roars and looked extremely ferocious.

Seeing this scene, Ye Yang's face showed horror. Even though he was knowledgeable, he had never seen such a weird scene.

"This...what is going on? How could a huge ruined city suddenly appear in this imperial mausoleum?"

"That is!"

Ye Yang observed everything around him from the perspective of the black and white twins, and couldn't help but exclaimed, seeing that the city wall was full of corpses.

Some are human, some are animal, and so on.

"It's Huang Tian Zhenren from Jiu Tian Sect."

"And the great elder of the East Sea Jiaolong clan!"

"The previous leader of the Nisha Sect"

"Also, what is that? It's a King Kong from the Western Regions of Demonic Land."

Ye Yang also saw a Vajra Master, wearing a Vajra crown and a golden red robe, with his eyes closed and a peaceful face, as if he was sleeping.

However, his body was tightly bound with iron chains and hung on the city wall, looking particularly desolate.

The scene before him was indeed too horrifying.

Ye Yang saw the dragon's corpse hanging on the wall. The blood had already drained out, and the ruins of the city wall were covered with black bloodstains.

"These are all well-known figures in the cultivation world. How could it be..."

He didn't say anything else, but just nodded solemnly, obviously having a bad premonition in his heart.

“It seems that the secrets hidden behind this ancient city and the imperial mausoleum are far deeper than imagined.”

"Those corpses didn't seem to be hung there after being chased by someone. Instead, they were pressed directly against the city wall with great force, leaving marks."

Ye Yang guessed secretly in his heart.

At this moment, a beam of blood-red light suddenly rose up from the center of the huge city, and then the entire ruins of the huge city seemed to begin to shake.

Countless bones and wronged souls broke out from the ground, with chains wrapped around their bodies and green light flashing in their eyes. They fled in all directions.

However, just as the three were preparing to evacuate, an extremely huge hand suddenly reached down from the air and grabbed directly towards where they were.

The palm was as black as ink and exuded an icy cold aura. It was obviously something beyond human power.

"Retreat quickly!"

Ye Yang shouted loudly, and immediately drove the black and white twins to perform light skills in an attempt to avoid the attack.

But the giant hand was extremely fast and it was right in front of him in the blink of an eye.

But the giant hand had already arrived in front of him, and the huge palm covered the five-colored giant nest. At this moment, a five-colored divine light suddenly appeared between heaven and earth.

The two collided with a deafening roar.

The moment the giant hand came into contact with the five-colored divine light, it seemed to be blocked by an invisible force and stopped in the air.

But soon, the five-colored divine light quickly collapsed. It seemed that all the colors of the five-colored divine light were sucked away in an instant, and it became dim and finally dissipated into the air.

The giant hand regained its power and continued to press down, with a speed and force even more ferocious and powerful than before.

"There is some terrible curse hidden in this!"
