Chapter 216 - Gathering for Cultivation (16) (2/2)
Who didn’t want them under their wing?
After a disciple passed the Nine Zigzag Mountain Array, they would be chosen by the Seven Peaks and become an official disciple of the Seven Peaks.
Every peak had a different way of cultivation so they would choose their disciples based on their natural talent and select the ones that were most suitable. That way, they would be able to go further in their cultivation.
However, Yun Yao and Zi Luo were different. They had supreme-spirit roots. They could learn anything.
The sect leader was full of anticipation too. “It will be an interesting match this year.”
“Sect Master, you won’t be fighting with us for disciples too, right?”
The sect leader smiled gently and didn’t reply. But, everyone knew that he had silently agreed to the statement.
The sect leader’s Wuying Peak was lacking disciples. Since supreme-spirit root owners appeared, how could he not be moved?
Luckily, they still had one more to choose from.
They had started their fight even before anyone appeared.
The time passed.
“Someone is coming.” One of the peak leaders stared intently at the gate.
Waves started appearing at the gate.
After a while, a person stepped out.
There weren’t many signs of fighting on her and she appeared to have easily passed the array. Her expression was also very calm.
“It’s Yun Yao.”
“Good!”
Yun Yao had seen the Nine Zigzag Mountain Array before and knew some tricks. She went ahead of Zi Luo and was the first to be out of the array.
The disciples of Wuying Peak asked Yun Yao to rest by the side while waiting for the other disciples to pass through.
There was a time limit to this test. If someone didn’t pass within four hours, they would fail the test.
The second one who passed through was Zi Luo. However, she was in a worse state compared to Yun Yao.
Yun Yao gave a cold smile in her heart. Despite her having the upper hand, Zi Luo was still the second to pass.
After that, more and more disciples appeared.
Lin Jin was the sixth. His sidekicks appeared after him and they all passed the Nine Zigzag Mountain Array.
Lin Jin strained his neck and looked toward the door. None of the people coming out was the one he was looking for.
“The time is up.”
“There are still a lot of people stuck inside.”
“Don’t worry, there is still some time…”
The conversations around Lin Jin made him even more anxious. He knew that Ming Shu was very good at fighting, but that skill was useless in the Nine Zigzag Mountain Array. She needed to use magic arts to pass.
Will she be able to pass?
“Sigh… they most probably failed the test.”
The incense stick was already fully burnt.
“I knew that Xuan Ji would not be able to pass the Nine Zigzag Mountain Array!”
“Tsk, as a three-spirit root owner, she still wants to enter the internal division. Is she daydreaming?”
The sect leader waved his hand and ordered, “Close the gate.”
The disciples of Wuying Peak went to close the gate. Just as they were about to apply their magic arts, the gate started to move and a shadow walked out.
A strange fragrance dispersed through the air.
There was a sudden moment of silence.
“WTF!”
“She managed to pass…”
The crowd burst into a series of conversations.
Yun Yao looked at the gate with a long face. Ming Shu was holding a piece of meat and munching on it.
” Aiyah , I passed in time.” Ming Shu’s tone was relaxed.
Wuying Peak’s disciples: “…”
The sect leader and the people around him looked at the meat in Ming Shu’s hand and fell into deep contemplation.
Ming Shu was too special compared to the other disciples.
It wasn’t just referring to the fact that she was eating. Her image and aura both made her seem as though she had walked through the Nine Zigzag Mountain Array casually.
This is Xuan Ji…
“Sect Master, what is wrong with this Xuan Ji?” She was definitely a three-spirit root owner and had never learned the foundation of cultivation before.
