9 Zhentian mysterious mood (1/2)
Above the Zhentian canyon, there was a peak always crowned with clouds, and at the summit of this peak, the Zhentian Sect had constructed a peaceful and elegant pavilion.
In the pavilion, at this time, two old men, clad in black and white colored Chinese robes, were sitting facing each other before a checkerboard and playing chess.
Suddenly, a surprised look appeared on the faces of the two elders. They had just perceived the waves of the profound Mysterious mood coming from the bottom of the Zhentian canyon.
”Elder black, you also felt.”
The elder wearing white robe said in a moderate voice.
”Mysterious mood.”
The black robed elder said in a faint voice.
”So young but has comprehended the mysterious mood, although only a trace, but it is still very commendable.”
The white robed elder said with a smile on his face.
Two elders continued to play chess again. Outwardly, they did not seem to care about the things going on at the bottom of the Zhentian canyon, but in reality, their attention had been concentrated on the young man present on the stairs who had been able to comprehend the mysterious mood.
This terrifying young man, who had comprehended the Mysterious mood, was none other than Long Yu!
......…
When Long Yu opened his eyes and felt that heavy pressure of the Zhentian canyon had instantly weakened.
”Now it should not be a problem.”
A confident look flashed in the eyes of Long Yu. Now, he could embark on the 300 stone steps of the Zhentian canyon with just the strength of Wudao third layer!
Even if he had just got the slightest grasp of the Mysterious mood, but he was sure that it would greatly help him in his future cultivation.
Long Yu felt that unexpectedly the Azure Dragon Mark on his chest had been quietly giving off heat all this time. He knew well that he could comprehend this Mysterious mood thanks to his inescapable relationship with the Azure Dragon Mark. He would never forget how the Azure Dragon Mark greatly helped him when he was in need.
Gradually, step by step, his climbing pace increased more and more, and he realized that his comprehension of the mysterious mood was also progressing as he continued to climb up.
On the 300th stone step, Tan Yue, Wu Qing and Han Jian stood together, and all of them were looking at Long Yu with a contemptuous look in their eyes.
”Tell me, how far can he climb at his current cultivation level?”
Tan Yue asked with interest, as if playing a fun game.
”In my opinion, depending on his Wudao third layer strength, he can arrive at most at the 150th step, that should be his limit.”
Wu Qing said in a very affirmative way but his voice revealed a deep disdain.
As soon as he finished the sentence, they saw that Long Yu was climbing the stone steps with a good pace and he unexpectedly crossed the 150th stone steps and continued to gradually climb up.
Wu Qing's complexion immediately became unsightly. Wasn't this like a direct slap on his face?
”Maybe 200 stone steps is his limit.”
Han Jian said in a relaxed tone. He did not seem to be too much concerned about someone at the Wudao third layer, because there was a two layers difference in strength between him and the masters of Wudao third layer and their strength was really too weak in comparison to his own strength.
But, as he just said these words, the unceasingly climbing figure of Long Yu easily reached 200th stone step and continued to climb further!
At this time, Tan Yue and the other two disciples felt that they had gone wrong in estimating the strength of Long Yu.
”Did he break through?”
Tan Yue was a little bit surprised.
”How can anyone have a breakthrough in such a situation? This guy is certainly cheating and even if he successfully climbs up all the 300 steps, I will make him know that cheaters are not allowed to join the Zhentian Sect!”
Wu Qing said and a dark look appeared on his face.
Tan Yue nodded ats these words in somewhat satisfied manner. It seemed that Wu Qing was very intelligent and he knew that if they would not find an excuse then they would not be able to put their hands on this waste.
Even if that waste boy had a temporary breakthrough into the Wudao fourth layer but they wouldn't allow him to join the Zhentian Sect!
Soon, Long Yu stepped over the 250th stone step and continued to climb up towards his goal.
280 steps.
290 steps.
300 steps!
Long Yu finally reached the 300th stone step and after crossing further, he felt that the heavy pressure of the canyon had immediately swept away. He succeeded in passing the assessment exam of the Zhentian Sect by climbing up the Zhentian canyon, and according to the rule, now he could become an outer disciple of the Zhentian Sect!
Moreover, Long Yu also had the biggest harvest because he gained an insight about the mysterious mood of Zhentian canyon and he was able to comprehend some of it which would benefit in his future developments.
After comprehending the mysterious mood, Long Yu felt as if he had become one with the world, and now, even his random punch could display a greater strength than before.
However, before he had enough time to familiarize himself with the just comprehended mysterious mood, three figures came in his sight.
”Is that Tan Yue?”
Long Yu's brow wrinkled slightly. He looked up and saw Tan Yue and two disciples of the Zhentian Sect walking towards him with evil intentions apparent in their eyes.
Long Yu looked at two young men. Their appearance looked as arrogant as the general appearance of Tan Yue, and it was absolutely impossible that they were coming to congratulate him on passing the assessment test.
One of them had small eyes, thin physique like a monkey, who jumped to arrive in front of Long Yu. It was Wu Qing.
With a teasing expression on his face, Wu Qing shouted loudly: ”You are a waste and still want to join the Zhentian Sect?”
By directly calling him ”waste”, he was precisely aiming to enrage Long Yu. If Long Yu became furious and attacked first then he would easily teach this guy a lesson and he would also get a chance to show off in front of Tan Yue and win her heart.
