Taming Beasts and Cultivating Immortality from Two Realms

Chapter 88 Six Knocks on the Heavenly Steps
The southern wasteland, the Mirror Moon Sea.

The salty sea breeze carried the raging waves to the place where the water and the sky met, making a thunderous roar.

Chen Beiwu looked forward along the bow of the boat.

In the center of the whirlpool, an island like a sleeping dragon stood above the boundless sea, blooming with thousands of rays of light.

As the distance got closer, Chen Beiwu discovered that the cliffs on the edge of the island were as steep as if they were cut by a knife or an axe.

Unknown vines as thick as palace pillars meandered between the cracks in the rocks, emitting wisps of cloud-like light, which covered the seventy-two small islands scattered around the giant island with a hazy cloud. It seemed as if a real dragon was swimming, looking down on the world, and exuding endless water-shaped power.

"Is this Jingyue Island, controlled by the Jingyue Sect?" Chen Beiwu's pupils shrank slightly, and a look of shock appeared in his eyes.

Shu You didn't look surprised by this.

Thinking back, when she first saw the sect's formation [Eight Desolate Water Mirror Subduing Dragon Formation], she was so shocked that her scalp went numb.

In terms of performance alone, he is not even as calm as Junior Brother Chen now.

"Junior Brother Chen, when you look at the island, do you feel like you are facing the might of a real dragon?" Shu You smiled.

"Yes." Chen Beiwu nodded slightly, his eyes never leaving the island ahead.

Just the normal operation of the formation and the mobilization of the powerful essence of water-shaped power made him feel an extremely terrifying sense of oppression, as if a giant dragon was lurking on the side and watching him.

If the Jingyue Sect's protective formation really showed its power, the force it unleashed could easily crush even a Jindan Zhenren.

"The Eight Desolate Water Mirror Subduing Dragon Formation is a fifth-order protective formation set up by the sect's third-generation ancestor. The power of this formation is unfathomable."

Speaking of this, Shu You's face lit up with pride. "In history, there was a mid-stage Nascent Soul True Lord who dared to invade a sect. He was eventually suppressed by the Eight Desolate Water Mirror Subduing Dragon Formation for three days and three nights, and was refined into a pile of dust."

Upon hearing this, Chen Beiwu's expression changed.

Even a Yuanying Zhenjun could be killed. The amount of spiritual energy that the sect needed to consume to activate the Eight Desolate Water Mirror Subduing Dragon Formation was probably a terrifying number that he couldn't even imagine.

That is to say, the Southern Wilderness is rich in resources, and cultivators generally do not care about the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

If it were placed in the Immortal Alliance where Qi does not fall into the void, this formation would have been strictly banned by the top leaders of the Immortal Alliance long ago.

Seeing Chen Zi'ang's reaction, Shu You nodded secretly in his heart.

Every time she received disciples, she would introduce the glorious achievements of the sect's formation, so that the new disciples would understand how powerful the Jingyue Sect's ruling power was, and even the Yuanying Zhenjun had to bow down to it.

At this moment, a rainbow light suddenly flew out from the scattered small islands and stopped outside the cloud boat, revealing a young monk wearing the Taoist robe of Jingyue Sect.

"Deacon Yun." Shu You greeted him.

"Junior Sister Shu." The visitor was not arrogant and had a warm smile on his face.

The status of the outer sect deacons is similar to that of the inner sect disciples, and they are all foundation-building cultivators.

But in terms of potential and future, the latter is valued by the sect far more than he, an outer sect deacon.

Deacon Yun glanced at Chen Beiwu and said with a gentle smile, "Junior Sister, how many new disciples are there this time?"

"There are thirty-three of them, two of whom can enter the inner gate directly, and the rest of the disciples will be handed over to Deacon Yun." Shu You took out the jade slip and handed it over.

Deacon Yun's gaze lingered on Chen Beiwu, his eyes filled with curiosity. "Who is this?"

Shu You is well-known in the sect for being fond of women but not men.

A new disciple who could sit next to her and chat and laugh cheerfully must have either extraordinary qualifications or an extraordinary background.

"This is the junior fellow disciple that Zhu Zhenchuan values, Chen Ziang." Shu You smiled.

"Greetings, Deacon Yun." Chen Beiwu bowed slightly. Hearing this, Deacon Yun did not dare to be careless.

The only true descendant of the Zhu clan is the infamous God of Killing.

He also bowed, praised Chen Zi'ang a few words, then left his contact information and left with Yunzhou's new disciples.

"Outer disciples need to report to Xijiang Island under the guidance of a deacon and undergo a one-year training mission.

Those who pass the test will be registered and officially become members of the Jingyue Sect's outer sect, while those who fail will be assigned to affiliated sects to continue their efforts." Shu You explained.

"I see." Chen Beiwu nodded, looked at Gu Chun who was standing beside him, and asked, "Then where do Junior Sister Gu and I need to report?"

"I will take Junior Sister Gu to report to the Personnel Hall later." Having said this, Shu You looked towards the mountain at the core of the giant island with longing in his eyes.

"As for you, Junior Brother, you can go directly to the Nine-Aperture Sun Moon Lake on Shuiyue Peak to cultivate for a month. During this month, if a Jindan Elder values ​​you, he will grant you a Jindan decree and accept you as his disciple."

Hearing this, Chen Beiwu was slightly stunned, "Sister Shu, haven't I already become a disciple of Master Zhu?"

"That's right, so Junior Brother, you just need to carry the Hantan Spirit Sword with you and go through the process." Shu You said enviously.

Most of the Jindan elders in Jingyue Sect are aiming at the path to immortality and have no time to accept disciples.

There are very few Jindan elders who are willing to accept disciples. Some of them have no hope of breaking through to the Yuanying stage and want to leave a lineage before they die. Some of them have no disciples on the island and have to delay their cultivation and choose a talented person to train.

Therefore, in the history of Shuiyue Peak, there was once a cultivator with natural spiritual roots who was not valued by the Jindan elders and was thus eliminated from the selection sequence.

And Chen Zi'ang has the Hantan Spirit Sword in his hand, which is equivalent to having a backup plan.

You should know that Master Zhu is the Jindan Master who is closest to the Yuanying Master in the sect. Even the cultivators from the five major sects recognize him as the number one person below the Yuanying.

In consideration of Master Zhu's token, even if the Jindan elders in Shuiyue Peak were not optimistic about Junior Brother Chen, they would at least arrange a status for him that was higher than that of the inner disciples.

"Thank you, senior sister, for your guidance."

Hearing this, Chen Beiwu immediately took out Hantan from his storage bag.

Soon, the cloud boat arrived at Shuiyue Peak smoothly.

"Junior brother, this is the stairway to the Sun Moon Lake at the top of the mountain. Just follow the stairs to the top, and a cultivator will guide you."

After saying that, Shu You took Gu Chun away on the cloud boat, leaving Chen Beiwu alone to face the green jade staircase formed by thousands of rays of light.

"call!"

Chen Beiwu exhaled, took a step forward and stepped onto the stairs, and a burst of information suddenly flooded into his mind.

[Six knocks on the steps to heaven: knock on the mirror, knock on the heart, knock on delusion, knock on the soul, knock on fate, and knock on the Tao.]

[New disciples only need to pass the "Knocking on the Mirror" stage before they can ascend the steps and reach the summit.]

"boom!"

As the information dissipated, the ripples in the space in front of Chen Beiwu's eyes suddenly changed, forming a crystal clear mirror.

In the mirror, he saw an identical self.

No, that's not right!

Chen Beiwu frowned slightly, and then he saw himself in the mirror showing a strange smile, then he took a step forward, breaking the restrictions of the dimensional wall and appearing in the real world.
