God Destroying Pearl

Chapter 18 Elders Recruit Disciples

"Okay, the next period of time is for the elders to recruit disciples. Even if no one is chosen, don't be discouraged. You can also choose the mountain you want to join. I wish you good luck!" The head of the sect pressed his hand and said.

In the following moments, it seemed as if the air had frozen, leaving only the exciting anticipation and a hint of nervousness in everyone's hearts.

The elders from each peak walked onto the square one after another, their eyes scanning the crowd as if looking for the bright stars that could light up their eyes.

Everyone in the square, whether they were young boys and girls or slightly more mature young men and women, were anxiously eager to be chosen by an elder to become his disciple.

They knew that once they were accepted as disciples by the elders, they would likely be superior to others and their starting point in cultivation would be much ahead of others.

Qingyun Sect, as a large sect, has a profound foundation and strong strength.

There are a total of six towering mountains in the sect, namely Qingyun Peak where the sect leader is located, Yanhuo Peak, Leiyun Peak, Muling Peak, Baoyao Peak and Qingjian Peak.

Except for Qingyun Peak, where the head of the sect resides and presides over affairs, the other five peaks serve as the sect's inheritance peaks. Each mountain has its own unique style and heritage.

Yanhuo Peak, symbolizing blazing passion and endless flames, is a holy place for practicing fire-attributed techniques; Leiyun Peak, towering into the clouds with thunder and lightning, is an excellent place for practicing thunder-attributed techniques; Muling Peak, full of greenery and vitality, is focused on the practice of wood-attributed techniques; Baoyao Peak is a treasure land for growing various rare medicinal materials, and the disciples not only practice techniques but also learn the art of alchemy; while Qingjian Peak focuses on swordsmanship, and the disciples on the peak all carry swords as their companions, pursuing the ultimate in swordsmanship.

An old man with red hair and beard spoke to Li Yan.

"Li Yan, are you willing to take me as your master and join my Yanhuo Peak?" An elder from Yanhuo Peak spoke in a loud and firm voice, as if carrying an unquestionable power.

Li Yan was delighted, he knew this was the opportunity he had always dreamed of.

He took a deep breath, calmed down his excitement, and then replied respectfully: "Disciple is willing!"

After saying that, he quickly walked forward and bowed deeply three times to the elder of Yanhuo Peak.

Every move he made was full of respect and determination, as if announcing to the world that he would become a member of Flame Peak.

Just as everyone was still marveling at Li Yan's luck, an elder from Qingjian Peak spoke up.

He was a middle-aged man with sharp eyebrows and bright eyes. He held a long sword in his hand. The blade was verdant and radiated a sharp sword aura.

"Lin Haoran, are you willing to join my Qingjian Peak? Your wind spiritual roots will be of great help in practicing swordsmanship." The voice of the elder of Qingjian Peak was cold and magnetic, as if it carried a fascinating power.

Lin Haoran felt excited when he heard his name being called.

He had long heard that Qing Jianfeng's swordsmanship was superb and that he was a major pillar of the Qingyun Sect.

Now that he has the opportunity to become a disciple of Qingjian Peak, he naturally wants it very much.

So, he walked forward without hesitation, bowed three times to the elder of Qingjian Peak, and replied respectfully: "Disciple is willing!"

As the atmosphere in the square became more and more heated, the top ten disciples in the assessment were successively selected by the elders of each peak and became the new generation of disciples of Qingyun Sect.

Their faces were filled with smiles of excitement and pride, as if they had already seen their future success on the road of martial arts.

However, among this group of happy disciples, there was one figure who looked particularly lonely, and that was Song Yun.

He originally thought that he would be chosen by the elders of Leiyun Peak because of his rare talents of both thunder and space spiritual roots, as well as his outstanding performance in the assessment.

But at this moment, he found that the elder of Leiyun Peak was standing there with a frown on his face, seemingly without any idea.

Song Yun couldn't help feeling a sense of loss.

He was aware of his own talent and strength, and thought that he would be chosen by the elders of Leiyun Peak without any suspense, but now it seems that things are not developing as he expected.

He couldn't help but start to wonder if his performance was not good enough, or if Elder Lei Yunfeng had some concerns about his spiritual roots?

Just when Song Yun was feeling uneasy, the head of the sect spoke.

His voice was deep and majestic, but at this moment it carried a hint of indescribable emotion: "Song Yun, I have seen your talent and strength. Your lightning spiritual roots and space spiritual roots are indeed what our sect needs. But..."

As the headmaster finished speaking, the atmosphere in the square suddenly became somewhat subtle.

The eyes of all the disciples and elders were focused on Song Yun with curiosity and surprise.

Song Yun stood there, feeling mixed emotions.

He had long known that his spatial spiritual roots were extremely rare, and he also knew that such spiritual roots would bring him a unique path of cultivation.

However, hearing the words of the headmaster at this moment, he realized that this road might be much more difficult than he had imagined.

"Your spatial spiritual roots are quite special. Leiyun Peak does not have any special spatial skills. And we don't want your spatial spiritual roots to be buried." The peak master's voice was low and frank. He looked directly at Song Yun, his eyes filled with complex emotions.

Song Yun was slightly startled. He had thought that his dual spiritual root talent would be enthusiastically sought after by all the peaks, but at this moment he was told that Leiyun Peak did not have any martial arts suitable for him.

This made him feel a little disappointed, but more confused about the unknown.

"In fact, there are not many space techniques in our sect." The head of the sect continued, revealing a hint of helplessness in his voice, "The attributes of space are mysterious and unpredictable, and the people who can comprehend and practice its techniques are rare."

Hearing this, Song Yun felt even more disappointed.

He understood that although he had talent, it would be difficult to display this talent without the right skills to guide it.

The headmaster walked forward slowly, his eyes were deep and bright, as if he could see through people's hearts.

He stared at Song Yun and spoke slowly: "Song Yun, there is only one place in my sect that is suitable for you to go, and that is Zhaixing Peak."

Hearing this, Song Yun couldn't help but feel confused. He clearly remembered that Qingyun Sect had five main peaks, namely Yanhuo Peak, Qingjian Peak, Leiyun Peak, Muling Peak and Baoyao Peak. These five main peaks each had unique cultivation resources and skills. However, the head of the sect mentioned a "Zhaixing Peak" that he had never heard of.

Song Yun was puzzled. He asked doubtfully, "Master, doesn't the sect have five main peaks? How come there is a Zhaixing Peak that can be compared with the five peaks?"

The head of the sect smiled and explained, "Song Yun, you don't know. Although Zhaixing Peak is not one of the five main peaks of our sect, it has a special status. It is located deep in the sect, towering into the clouds, as if it can touch the stars. Hence the name 'Zhaixing Peak'."

"On Zhaixing Peak, there are the most precious space skills inherited by our sect." The head of the sect continued, "These skills were created by our predecessors with great efforts, or obtained with untold hardships. They are extremely powerful, but also extremely difficult to practice. Only those who have space spiritual roots can comprehend the mysteries within them."

After hearing this, Song Yun's doubts gradually dissipated, replaced by excitement and anticipation.

He didn't expect that he would have the opportunity to come into contact with the sect's most precious space skills.

"However, the training environment on Zhaixing Peak is also extremely harsh." The head of the sect changed the subject and said seriously, "The spiritual energy there is thin and the environment is harsh. You need to have enough perseverance and determination to persevere."

As the headmaster finished speaking, Song Yun's mood went up and down like a roller coaster.

He was looking forward to the upcoming journey to the Star-Picking Peak, but at the same time he felt a little nervous about whether he could join the Peak.

"Song Yun, although Zhaixing Peak hasn't accepted any disciples for a long time, your spatial spiritual roots are extremely rare, so you should have a great chance of joining." The headmaster's voice was encouraging, trying to calm Song Yun's emotions.

Hearing this, Song Yun's tension eased a little.

He knew that his spatial spiritual roots were his greatest advantage and the key to his joining the Star-Picking Peak.

He took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down.

Song Yun took a deep breath and said with a firm look: "Master, I am willing to give it a try. I believe that as long as I work hard enough, I will be able to overcome all difficulties and succeed in my cultivation."

The headmaster nodded with satisfaction and said, "Okay, since you are so determined, I will introduce you to the master of Zhaixing Peak. But you must remember that the path of cultivation on Zhaixing Peak is full of unknowns and challenges, so you need to be fully prepared."

Song Yun bowed deeply and said gratefully, "Thank you for your cultivation, Master. I will definitely live up to your expectations!"

"Okay, you wait here first and follow me later." said the leader.

"Yes." Song Yun bowed.

Soon after, all the disciples entered the mountain of their dreams.

"Song Yun, let's go." The voice of the headmaster broke the silence around him. He turned around and looked at Song Yun with gentle and firm eyes.

Song Yun nodded, took a deep breath, and suppressed the tension and anxiety in his heart.

He followed the footsteps of the master and set foot on the mountain road leading to Zhaixing Peak.

The mountain road is winding, with lush trees on both sides. The sunlight shines through the gaps between the leaves onto the ground, creating mottled light and shadows.

As Song Yun walked, he admired the scenery along the way, but his mind couldn't help but imagine the scene on the Zhaixing Peak.

"Can you really touch the stars at Zhaixing Peak?" Song Yun couldn't help but ask.

The head of the sect smiled slightly and replied, "The reason why the Star Picking Peak got its name is because it is so high that it seems that you can touch the stars. But the real Star Picking does not refer to physical touch, but refers to the fact that when the cultivator practices the space technique, he can sense the power of the stars and even use the power of the stars to enhance his own cultivation."

Song Yun was fascinated by what he heard. He imagined himself standing on the top of Zhaixing Peak and feeling the baptism of the power of the stars. That feeling must be wonderful.

After walking for a while, they finally arrived at the foot of the Star-Picking Peak.

When Song Yun actually stood at the foot of the Zhaixing Peak, he was deeply shocked by the scene before him.

The mountain in front of us is so high that it seems to reach the sky, making it impossible to look up at its entire view.

The clouds and mist linger around the mountain, making the entire mountain appear looming, full of mystery and majesty.

Song Yun looked up and saw the outline of the mountain looming in the clouds.

It is like a huge stone monument standing between heaven and earth. The top of the mountain is completely covered by clouds, as if the stars in the sky have descended to the earth, forming this magical Star-Picking Peak.

A strong feeling of awe surged in Song Yun's heart.

He felt as if he was in a sacred area, and every step he took was cautious, for fear of disturbing this peaceful and solemn world.

And when he approached the mountain, the aura emanating from the mountain was as vast and boundless as a surging ocean, and like an invisible mountain, pressing him so hard that he could hardly breathe.

He felt as if he was in an endless starry sky. The stars seemed within reach, yet out of reach, giving him a wonderful feeling of both closeness and distance.

"Let's wait here for a moment. The master of Zhaixing Peak will be here soon." said the headmaster.

"Yes." Song Yun replied.

Suddenly, a strong spatial fluctuation spread around, accompanied by an indescribable sense of oppression.

This force seemed to solidify the entire space, making Song Yun feel a heaviness that made it difficult to breathe.
