The First Academy in the Cultivation World

Ling Yan'er's flying boat was forced to land shortly after Ling Ziye finished speaking.

The three of them had to get off the flying boat. Ling Yan'er folded up the flying boat and looked at the towering mountain.

Ling Ziye looked around. The closer he got to the mountain, the more inexplicable pressure he felt.

Following Ling Yan'er to the foot of the mountain, I saw a stone tablet with three words written on it: Dengyun Peak.

Not far away is a stone staircase leading to the top of the mountain.

Turning to the back of the stone tablet, there is a short biography written on it, saying that this peak is a test, and anyone who passes it will be able to have their wishes come true.

Ling Ziye and Dongfang Zichu both looked at Ling Yan'er. Ling Yan'er asked, "Why are you all looking at me?"

Ling Ziye retracted his gaze and asked, "Can your wish really come true?"

He wants to ascend to become an immortal. Can a secret mountain help him achieve his wish?

It sounds magical, not to mention that he felt tremendous pressure just by standing here.

Even Dongfang Zichu, who was flying by himself, landed on Ling Yan'er's shoulders and stopped flying.

"Maybe?" Ling Yan'er said uncertainly, "It says that your wishes can come true, right? It's probably not that good, but it's probably true that you can get some benefits."

For example, you can make a wish and ask for a recipe for an elixir or a magic weapon.

Although they felt that this mountain was a bit of a scam, Ling Yan'er insisted that the core of the secret realm was on this mountain and could be obtained by climbing up. Ling Ziye and Dongfang Zichu had no choice but to follow Ling Yan'er to climb the mountain.

Ling Ziye stopped as soon as he stepped onto the stairs. After he stepped up, he could not feel his spiritual power, and an illusion appeared before his eyes.

It happened before he entered the Tao. He closed his eyes and found that Ling Yan'er had already climbed two or three steps, and turned around to look at him who had not moved.

Dongfang Zichu said from Ling Yan'er's shoulder, "There's something wrong with this path. I've lost my cultivation since I started on it."

If they encounter danger now, the three of them can only sit and wait for death.

Ling Ziye said: "Me too."

He caught up with Ling Yan'er in two steps and asked, "Apart from going up the mountain, is there any other way?"

Ling Yan'er shook her head: "No."

When she saw the stone tablet, the side quest on her phone was updated to climb Dengyun Peak, which would reward her with the secret realm core.

It's different from the previous side quests.

And there was one thing she didn't tell Ling Ziye and Dongfang Zichu, which was that before this, the direction of her mission to seize the core of the secret realm had always been different.

Until I came out of the escape room in front, I pointed to this mountain.

But now that the mission has been issued and they are already on the mountain road, it should not be possible to change it.

"It's very dangerous to be without spiritual power here." Ling Ziye said.

Ling Yan'er said, "How about you wait for me at the foot of the mountain? It'll probably take two or three days to climb this mountain. It's quite high."

Dongfang Zichu asked, "What if you go up the mountain alone and encounter danger?"

"Teleport back to school." Ling Yan'er took out the teleportation wooden sign and said.

"And we're still here foolishly waiting for you to come back." Dongfang Zichu rolled his eyes.

Ling Yan'er was speechless. Ling Ziye took out the teleportation sign and said, "Let's go up together."

Even if they encountered danger in the mountains and were teleported back to the academy, the three of them had already gained enough in the secret realm.

Ling Yan'er said, "You shouldn't encounter any danger. You haven't cultivated on this path, and the others are probably the same."

Ling Ziye nodded thoughtfully: "That's true. If the monsters or people up there don't have any cultivation, then they won't be anything to be afraid of."

If it comes to simply competing in swordsmanship, he would be so confident that he is one of the best.

Ling Yan'er and the other two didn't know that when they decided to continue climbing, a thick fog surrounded the mountain. They were the only three living people on the entire mountain.

In the eyes of others, this mountain can no longer be seen.

Ling Ziye was a swordsman after all, and even without his cultivation, his physical strength was terrifyingly strong.

After climbing for three hours, Ling Yaner was panting and sat down on a step, saying, "No, I really can't walk anymore. Let's rest for a while."

Ling Ziye walked so easily that it seemed as if he hadn't walked at all. He even wondered, "If all I want is to be able to achieve my dream just by climbing up the mountain, that would be too easy."

Ling Yan'er took a short break to catch her breath and said, "How can it be easy? Don't you feel tired at all?"

Ling Ziye shook his head: "This amount of training is not as good as when I first started practicing swordsmanship."

Dongfang Zichu suddenly said at this time: "Are there two of us accompanying the princess to study? Only one person will be tested."

There is no need to think about the princess here, it can only refer to one person, Ling Yan'er.

When Ling Yan'er heard Dongfang Zichu's words, she immediately retorted, "How is that possible? There's no way such a thing could happen. This secret realm has been around for ages, and I've only been alive for a few years. The secret realm came first, and then I!"

The most important thing is that she traveled through time and space, and less than three years have passed.

This is also something that Dongfang Zichu doesn't quite understand, but there is no dispute that Ling Yan'er is not an ordinary mortal.

After Ling Yan'er had rested enough, the three of them continued their journey.

After climbing the mountain for several more hours, the three found a small hut.

In front of the house is a fertile field where various fruits and vegetables are planted. After entering the house, there is a fully decorated house and the kitchen is full of various seasonings.

Ling Ziye walked in and looked around the room before saying, "Would you like to rest here tonight before continuing?"

Ling Yan'er nodded without thinking: "Of course."

There was no way she could climb the mountain overnight, and she didn't lack this little time.

Although the vegetables here look very fresh, Ling Yan'er always feels that it is better not to eat things of unknown origin, so she still eats the things you took out from your mobile phone backpack.

Thinking that Dongfang Zichu and Ling Ziye could not use their spiritual power now, Ling Yan'er put all the dishes and chopsticks into her backpack after dinner.

After losing their cultivation, Dongfang Zichu and Ling Ziye were no longer able to open their storage rings, which made it even more strange that Ling Yan'er was still able to open her backpack.

The two looked at each other, and each of them chose a room to rest with Ling Yan'er.

The next morning, Ling Yan'er got up after a good sleep and felt a little pain in her calves. There was nothing she could do about it, as it was the aftereffect of climbing such a long stone staircase.

Ling Yan'er looked up and saw that the number of stairs didn't seem to have gotten any shorter. After dinner, she urged Dongfang Zichu and Ling Ziye to continue climbing the mountain.

Because they guessed that they were going to accompany Ling Yan'er to climb to the top of the mountain, Ling Ziye and Dongfang Zichu's expressions became visibly relaxed.

In order to lighten Ling Yan'er's burden, Dongfang Zichu didn't even carry the weight on Ling Yan'er's shoulders, but moved it to Ling Ziye's shoulders.

After another day of climbing the mountain, Ling Yan'er went from being very excited at the beginning to being visibly depressed.

She looked down and saw that she had indeed climbed a very long way, and it seemed that she had reached the ground halfway up the mountain. Then she looked up at the top of the mountain which was still towering into the clouds.

The next day, Ling Yan'er's legs hurt so much that she couldn't get up. Ling Yan'er asked, "If I say my legs hurt and I don't want to move at all, can you allow me to rest for a day?"

Before Ling Ziye could say anything, Dongfang Zichu said, "You can let Ling Ziye carry you on his back."

Ling Ziye:?

Sometimes I feel confused not because I think there is something wrong with me, but because I think there is something wrong with you.

If Ling Ziye and Dongfang Zichu still had spiritual power, they could use it to help Ling Yan'er relieve the pain caused by climbing the mountain.

But both of them have lost their spiritual power now, so they can only let Ling Yan'er massage herself and soak her feet before going to bed to relieve the pain.

Facing Dongfang Zichu's proposal, Ling Yan'er also looked at Ling Ziye and asked, "Is it okay?"

Ling Ziye originally wanted to refuse, but thinking that the sooner he reached the top of the mountain, the sooner he could recover his spiritual power, Ling Ziye agreed to Dongfang Zichu's proposal.

So Ling Yan'er was carried by Ling Ziye for a whole day. When Ling Yan'er was resting at night, she looked at her location on her mobile phone and then looked down.

Ling Ziye carried her on his back for a whole day, and he walked more than she had in the previous day and a half combined.

After not walking for a day, Ling Yan'er recovered a little. After waking up, she was thinking about whether she could let Ling Ziye walk for another day.

She looked at the remaining road and thought that if Ling Ziye continued to carry her up, they could finish the journey in less than a day.

But if she comes by herself, it's hard to say.
