I became an immortal in the mountains

Chapter 97: The Road to Heaven (21 words, please read on!)

Guixu Island, the top of Lingxiao Mountain.

Li Miaoxuan stood on the edge of the cliff, looking towards the direction of the Daqian capital.

"Fellow Daoist Miaoxuan, are you really not going to go back and take another look?" Kuang Tongyi, dressed in a green Taoist robe, fell behind Li Miaoxuan.

Li Miaoxuan shook her head and said, "Forget it. Since I have already decided to embark on the road to heaven and leave this world, what's the point of going back to take a look? Besides, I am no longer fit to walk down the mountain at this moment."

Kuang Tongyi looked at the woman in front of him and sighed. Although Li Miaoxuan was standing there, she was actually wrapped in vital energy to prevent the breath in her body from leaking out. This was the same as the old ancestor in the hall.

This is because one's own cultivation has surpassed the limit of this realm. If one accidentally leaks the Qi, the space of this realm will be shattered, allowing demonic energy to penetrate inside.

And this is just a general consequence. There have even been people who, when practicing, had their vital energy shaken, space cracks formed in their bodies, demonic energy mixed with their true energy and poured into the Taoist fetus, causing them to go astray.

Kuang Tongyi took two steps forward and stood shoulder to shoulder with Li Miaoxuan, saying, "There is another person in this world who is as talented as you. I once invited him to enter the mountain and ascend to heaven, but to this day, he has not come to Guixu Island."

"Senior, you are talking about Gu Yuanqing, right?"

"You know him too?" Kuang Tongyi suddenly laughed, "It's unnecessary for me to ask. He is also from Daqian. This world is so small, how could you not know him?"

Li Miaoxuan smiled slightly and said nothing.

Kuang Tongyi sighed again, "Perhaps it's because he has a cause and effect relationship with my Lingxu Sect, so he is not willing to come. What a pity, otherwise he can still travel with you, Miaoxuan, on the road ahead."

Li Miaoxuan looked calm: "Everyone has their own aspirations, and they cannot be forced."

Kuang Tongyi also looked into the distance, as if looking through the sea into the Daqian Realm, and said, "Yes, it cannot be forced. Who made us born in this world? The floating world, huh."

Kuang Tongyi's expression and words were full of bitterness amidst his self-mockery.

Li Miaoxuan remained silent.

……

Three days later, when the first ray of sunlight shone on Lingxiao Mountain.

The withered old man in the hall slowly opened his eyes, and the surrounding vital energy poured into his body. In an instant, it seemed that all the spiritual energy on the top of Lingxiao Mountain was swallowed up by him.

His muscles began to bulge all over his body, his skin began to regain its luster, and black hair grew out on his head. In a moment, he turned into a middle-aged man.

He stood up and touched his face.

"Five hundred years, they locked up life but couldn't lock up time. But, it's finally over."

His name is Ji Qingyun, the supreme elder of Lingxu Sect. He has been sitting in the hall for four hundred years, all he wants is today.

He walked out of the hall slowly.

"Meet the ancestor/senior."

“I’ve met all of you fellow Taoists.

Outside the hall, seven people were waiting quietly. When they saw Ji Qingyun, they all saluted with their fists clasped.

These people are all at the Daohuo realm, and one of them is Li Shian. He has an old relationship with Lingxu Sect, and today is the day Li Miaoxuan ascends to Tianmen, so he can come here to watch the ceremony.

Ji Qingyun smiled in return and said, "Today the gate of heaven will be opened. Everyone, please follow me to the top of the mountain to watch the ceremony."

Directly above the huge square with a radius of one hundred meters, there are incense tables and offerings.

Behind the altar, there are ninety-nine steps leading directly to the top of Lingxiao Mountain.

Ji Qingyun led everyone to burn incense, and then bowed three times, to the heaven, to the earth, and to the ancestors.

Li Shianze stood at the back, looking at Li Miaoxuan who was standing behind Ji Qingyun.

At this moment, a ray of light suddenly appeared out of nowhere in the sky.

Ji Qingyun took out a bronze token from his waist, turned to Kuang Tongyi and said, "Tongyi, just wait and see. Maybe someone else will be able to reach the Heavenly Gate next time, and it will be you who will open it."

Kuang Tongyi's expression changed slightly, and he said anxiously: "Ancestor, you..."

Ji Qingyun smiled calmly: "Don't think too much, you will know in a moment."

After speaking, he made a seal, muttered something, then raised his hand and threw the bronze token onto the high platform. The sky was filled with rosy clouds, and the bronze token glowed and turned into a three-meter-long bronze gate.

"Miaoxuan, go!"

Li Miaoxuan bowed and walked towards the top of the mountain.

A moment later, she arrived at the terrace, turned around, and bowed to the people below the mountain.

Kuang Tongyi and others responded with: "I wish fellow Taoist Miaoxuan a prosperous path to immortality!" Li Miaoxuan looked deeply in the direction of Daqian again.

Li Shian suddenly laughed and said, "Miaoxuan, don't worry, I'll take care of you!"

Li Miaoxuan bowed to Li Shian with court etiquette, then stood up, turned around and pushed open the bronze door.

Inside the gate, there were thousands of rays of light and auspicious aura, and a road made of white light led straight to the sky.

Li Miaoxuan took a deep breath, cleared her mind of all the thoughts, walked slowly inside, and stepped onto the stairs.

At this time, on the square, an old man in his twilight years jumped up and rushed towards the bronze gate.

Kuang Tongyi's expression changed: "Brother Zhou, what are you going to do?"

The old man laughed and said, "Instead of waiting to die, it is better to give it a try."

Ji Qingyun stood there and watched quietly, then turned his head away, shook his head and sighed with reluctance.

The bronze gate was slowly closing, and the old man was seen climbing up the platform and stepping into the bronze gate.

But the bronze gate that Li Miaoxuan easily stepped into suddenly burst into light, and the old man who had half a foot in it flew out backwards, spitting blood.

The old man suddenly laughed out loud: "Although I am dead, I have no regrets. It's just a pity that I never saw the scenery outside the sky!"

As he spoke, the life force in his body leaked out and burned in a raging Dao fire. When it fell to the ground, it had turned to ashes.

Ji Qingyun said softly: "It's not that I don't want you to try, but there are rules on the road to heaven. If you intrude without permission, you will only die. Fellow Daoist Zhou, have a safe journey!"

"Fellow Daoist, have a safe journey!"

Kuang Tongyi and others bowed, their eyes full of bitterness.

The light from the bronze gate faded, Ji Qingyun raised his hand to take back the token, then handed it to Kuang Tongyi, and took out a silk book and handed it over.

"That's right. From now on, these two items will be in your safekeeping."

Kuang Tongyi didn't dare to take it: "Ancestor, what are you doing?"

Ji Qingyun smiled and said, "I have guarded this world for five hundred years. Today is the end of my mission, and it is time for me to leave. The specific reasons are recorded in the silk book I gave you. From now on, the responsibility of guarding this world will be handed over to you."

As he spoke, a faint white light flickered on his body, as if there was a force trying to sweep him away, and his body gradually became illusory.

Suddenly, the entire Lingxiao Mountain shook, and the force that was about to sweep him away suddenly disappeared, and a thought fell into his sea of ​​consciousness.

Ji Qingyun's smile came to an abrupt end and his whole body stiffened.

"What happened?" The expressions of everyone present changed slightly.

After a moment, the shaking stopped.

When everyone turned to look at Ji Qingyun, they found that his expression was not right.

"Ancestor?"

"Perhaps I can give you these things later."

"Ancestor, what happened?"

Ji Qingyun took the things back, stepped onto the Ascension Platform, looked towards the direction of the continent, frowned, as if anger was burning in his heart.

"Who is it? Why are you causing trouble at this time?!"

In the wild mountains and ridges on the west side of Daqian, Zuoqiu's body gradually disappeared in the flash of white light. Just now he felt the earth shaking, but it had nothing to do with him anymore.

"It's finally over, but how can I compete with others for opportunities on the road of trial now?"

If he were given another chance, he swore that he would never go to Beiquan Mountain!
On Beiquan Mountain.

Gu Yuanqing stood on the cliff and looked into the distance, which was the direction of Guixu Island.

"She may have already left this world at this moment. With her cultivation level, she will definitely be able to pass the road to heaven."

The heavy snow fell, dyeing the Beiquan Mountain white. A nest of wild foxes rolled and played beside Gu Yuanqing.

Suddenly, the earth shook, and all the wild foxes became frightened, and countless birds flew up from Beiquan Mountain.

Gu Yuanqing's body shook slightly. He frowned in confusion at first, then looked down. His sight seemed to pass through the mountain and reach underground!
