Big Bodhi

Chapter 37: Taiyu Sect, 6 Mountains and 3 Realms

Several hours passed by in the blink of an eye, and the members from various cultivating families all sat cross-legged on a futon in a hall beside the Xuanqing Hall, peacefully, waiting for Daoist Hexuans presence.

Although they were all in their teens, they had a more mature and calm mind than ordinary people. They sat on the futon for several hours, and there was no sign of impatience on their faces.

"Master asks you to wait outside the gate of the main hall of Xuanqing."

The woman wearing the blue robe stepped into the side hall, left a sentence, and then turned around to walk outside.

"This woman is only in the initial stage of the Profound Realm, but she just hit the big luck and was admitted by Hexuan Shangzhen. How dare she behave so arrogantly in front of us." A fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy complained with a displeased expression on his face.

"That's right, when she brought me to the side hall, she looked like everyone owed her dozens of spirit stones."

Immediately, there were several people who agreed, but most of the people didn't say a word, just stood up and walked towards the outside of the hall.

"Cousin, this woman seems a little strange."

Zhao Xiaoyun walked side by side with Ji Yuenian and whispered in his ear.

Ji Yuenian glanced at him sideways, shook his head, and said, "She's not human."

Zhao Xiaoyun's complexion changed slightly, and he asked in doubt, "I just noticed that her Profound Energy is a little obscure. From my cousin's point of view, what is she?"

"Eighty percent may be the Mirror Demon, and the remaining 20 percent, she should be the Mirror Ghost," Ji Yuenian said in a low voice, "When you leave the palace, you can carefully observe her pupils, which is her own mirror image."

Shes eighty percent a Mirror Demon, and the rest of should be a Mirror Ghost, Ji Yuenian said in a low voice. When you leave the hall, observe her pupils carefully. It should reflect her own mirror image.

The Mirror Demon was a mirror born with intelligence and turned into a demon, and the Mirror Ghost is an evil ghost living in the mirror. Although the two are somewhat similar, they are actually two completely different creatures.

Zhao Xiaoyun said: "Then this woman is definitely a demon. The ancient city of Taichu has the protection of the gods, so the ghost and demons should not enter."

"Stupid," Zhao Yanran walked up to the two of them, looking at Zhao Xiaoyun with some disdain, "Don't forget, Hexuan Shangzhen is a disciple of the Sixth Mountain of Ancient Taiyu Sect, and there are nineteen ancient cities. They are all under the rule of the Taiyu Ancient City, even the god of the land is concerned about the strength of Taiyu, why is it strange that Hexuan Shangzhen keeps a ghost here?"

Zhao Xiaoyun was speechless for a while, and glanced at Zhao Yanran angrily, then he quickened his pace and stopped looking at her.

On the contrary, Ji Yuenian looked at Zhao Yanran again with a thoughtful look in his eyes.

To be able to clearly observe the complex relationship between the gods of heaven and earth, such as the Supreme God of Earth, and the Taiyu Sect, this woman was obviously not as simple as she seemed.

While they were talking, many of the aristocratic cultivators had already walked outside the gate of the Xuanqing Hall. Daoist Hexuan and a boy about seventeen or eighteen years old were standing beside the gate of the palace. The three-foot-wide giant sword was suspended on the side, exuding a strong aura of forbidden defense formation.

"Flying magic weapon!"

"It also carries a defensive forbidden formation on it!"

"Such a precious flying magic weapon is probably worth more than twenty spirit stones."

"In my opinion, at least twenty-five spirit stones!"

Admiration could be heard from everyone, but Daoist Hexuan didn't care at all. He glanced back at random, counted the number of people again, and said, "I have other important things today, and Lu Han will lead you to the Luoxia Mountains. Many chores along the way has to be done according to his orders."

The young man was wearing a green Daoist robe. With a smile on his face, he clasped his hands towards Ji Yuenian and the others, and said, "Junior brothers and sisters, please."

"Yes, Senior Brother Lu."

More than a dozen people responded one after another and stepped onto the body of the giant sword. Some mortals were a little unsteady and almost fell down, but Lu Han stretched out his hand and pulled them back.

Seeing that everyone was already on the giant sword, Lu Han said with a smile, "I will open the protective forbidding formation later, and you will no longer have to worry about falling."

After speaking, he turned around and saluted Hexuan Shangzhen, and said respectfully, "Master Shangzhen, then I'll go."

Daoist Hexuaodded and said, "Let's go."

Lu Han activated the giant sword, and it gradually lifted into the sky with slight tremors. The speed became faster and faster, breaking through the clouds and soaring toward the boundless sky.

The translucent condensed light shield gradually emerged from the sword body, and the violent wind howled and whistled several meters away, but it did not affect the people inside the shield in the slightest.

"Senior Brother Lu, when you go to the Luoxia Mountains, are you also going to join the Taiyu Saint Sect?"

[ED: Taiyus name has both Holy/Saint and Ancient used interchangeably.]

When Lu Han heard the words, he turned around and looked at the young man who asked the question. He smiled kindly and said, "I followed Hexuan Shangzhen to practice for seven years, and I was able to break through to the first realm of the True Dao Realm. From here, I went to Taiyu Ancinet Sect and directly entered the Chaolu Mountains of the Sixth Mountain. I am an inner sect disciple of the sixth mountain range."

"After seven years of cultivation, you have reached the initial stage of True Dao Realm!" The person who spoke was stunned.

Zhao Yanran, Chu Lingyue and the others also showed shock. They had long thought that Lu Han should be in the first realm, but they never thought that he had only practiced for seven years!

It was only in the True Dao Realm that the Flying magic treasure could be used.

"Senior Brother Lu, what your Heart Fire Sequence?"

Lu Han squeezed a small sword in his hand, and the giant sword under his feet became faster and faster, and his voice echoed, Grade 5."

As soon as these words came out, even Ji Yuenian and Zhao Xiaoyun were a little surprised. After all, among the several cultivating families in Taichu Ancient City, there had been thousands of years since people have been born with a Grade 5 Heart Fire Sequence.

Zhao Sixing said with a look of admiration on his face, "Senior Brother Lu has such astonishing talent, he will definitely be a big shot when he goes to the Taiyu Holy Sect and will overwhelm his peers."

This time, Lu Han shook his head earnestly, and said, "You descendants of cultivating families are like frogs in the bottom of a well, living in a corner for thousands of years, used to being the emperors and empresses of your little land, and ignorant of the vastness of heaven and earth. The aptitude of a Grade 6 Heart Fire Sequence, even in the Chaolu Mountain Range of the Sixth Mountain Range, can only be called good."

Hearing this, more than ten teenagers and girls all looked a little nonplussed, but they didn't dare to refute Lu Han in person.

Lu Haoticed the change in their expressions, and his smile was still very kind. He shook his head and said, "The Taiyu Holy Sect has suppressed the Yuanyan realm for countless years, and the geniuses are like countless stars in the galaxy. The ancient city of Taichu is one of the nineteen ancient cities. Inside is one of the barren territories, and the spiritual energy is thin. An individual, even if he or she has the aptitude of Grade 7 or 8 Heart Fire Sequence, they will definitely waste a lot of time in the Outer Sect, and even breaking into the True Dao Realm might be a little difficult."

He had no malice in his words, he just told the facts, but such straightforward words still made these descendants from the cultivation families very depressed.

Only a few who had never ignited their Heart Fire felt better. After all, they hadn't shown their sequence yet, so they naturally didn't belong to the "seventh-rank" and "eighth-rank" Heart Fire sequence for the time being.

The atmosphere above the giant sword gradually fell silent, and more than a dozen people scattered in twos and threes.

Ji Yuenian walked to the tip of the giant sword, stood side by side with Lu Han, looking at the clouds that were far apart under the sword, and said, "Senior Brother Lu."

Lu Han turned his head to look at Ji Yuenian with a somewhat inexplicable smile, and said, "Ji familys Ji Yuenian?"

"Yes."

"I can't see through your rank (Heart Fire)," Lu Han said truthfully, "But according to the rumors in the ancient city of Taichu, it's at least at the 6th Grade.

Ji Yueniaodded and said, "Isn't Senior Brother Lu a native of Taichu Ancient City?"

"I can be barely considered one," Lu Han turned his head and looked at the mist in front of him, "I grew up in an outer city. When I was three years old, my parents were beaten to death by the government health workers who came to collect the spiritual tax because they stole some spiritual rice. The event ignited my Heart Fire when I was ten years old, and was accidentally discovered by Hexuan Shangzhen, and he took me with him. So I have been cultivating with him until now."

Ji Yuenian was a little surprised, and said, "It turned out to be the Grade 5 Heart Fire Sequence. Brother Lu's talent is really astounding."

In a giant sect like Taiyu Holy Sect, in fact what is most important isnt ones aptitude, but ones loyalty to the sect, and even more importantly, the adherence one has to the rules of the sect.

"The sect, the rules of the sect." Ji Yuenian had a contemplative look in his eyes.

"Yes, the sect rules of the Taiyu Holy Sect are extremely strict. Countless disciples in the Six Mountains and Three Realms need to abide by the sect rules at all times. The laws are ruthless."

As the two of them spoke, the giant sword had already pierced through the thick cloud layer that stretched for thousands of miles, and the bright white moonlight shone down, reflecting the huge sword body, giving it a dazzling silver halo.

Standing on the giant sword, the vast mountains and rivers under his feet could be seen in his eyes. From such a distance, the world looked unbelievably vast. It was pity. His eyes, unfortunately, couldnt see through the boundlessness, and he could only make out a blur in the place where the heaven and earth met.
