Tian Yan.
When Wu Wang returned from the guest hall to the main hall of the Mysterious Female Sect, the word "Tian Yan" suddenly appeared in his mind, which made him feel a little confused.
Are the cultivation techniques of the Mysterious Female Sect and this Tian Yan Stone from outside the realm?
But according to the widely circulated saying in the Human Realm, the cultivation techniques in the Human Realm were initially explored by the generation of the Suiren Clan and flourished in the generation of the Fuxi Clan, eventually evolving into the diverse range of techniques we have today.
Cultivate oneself and transcend the ordinary.
Based on the books Wu Wang collected from the North Wilderness and the Human Realm, it can be confirmed that most of the cultivation techniques in the Human Realm were developed by the human race themselves.
Here's an inappropriate example:
[In the beginning, there were millions of followers of the Fire Emperor Suiren, who constantly explored and comprehended, and eventually a hundred people gained powerful strength. These hundred people, along with the other followers who had strong abilities, summarized and summarized the process of becoming stronger, leaving behind valuable experiences for future generations to avoid detours. These precious experiences are the prototype of the current cultivation techniques.]
Emperor Fuxi and the Book of the River Diagram deduced countless laws, which should have organized and improved the cultivation techniques in the Human Realm, establishing the path of cultivation and transcendence we have today.
But what about the cultivation techniques of the Mysterious Female Sect?
Are they really from outside the realm? What is outside the realm?
The Mysterious Female Sect now holds a high position in the Human Realm, and even if these techniques are from outside the realm, they were allowed to be spread by the previous generation of emperors.
Or is "from outside the realm" just a self-proclaimed label?
Wu Wang thought in his heart as he recalled the statue of the Mysterious Female Sect's founder that he saw when he arrived. She was a naturally beautiful fairy with a melon seed face, phoenix eyes, and a gentle yet dignified aura.
"I should ask Ling Fairy or Senior Sister Jingyue directly later."
Wu Wang thought to himself.
He had already become accustomed to calling Senior Sister Jingyue by that title.
A conversation came from the side door:
"Young Master Xing Tian, please take a seat in front."
"No need, no need. We don't have so many complicated rules in the North Wilderness. Everyone can do whatever they want. I'll go find Brother Ji Mo to sit with!"
As a result, a rockery quickly appeared between Wu Wang and Ji Mo's seats, and the clouds supporting the cushions and low tables underneath almost dispersed.
All eyes converged on this spot, so Wu Wang simply closed his eyes and focused, ignoring what was happening outside the window.
Ji Mo pondered for a moment and took the initiative to chat with Xing Tian.
He asked about the customs of the North Wilderness, talked about gossip in the Human Realm, and discussed the various human clans in the Great Wasteland that had gained some scale, so that Xing Tian wouldn't be too bored.
This also made Lin Qi, who had been focused on cultivation, frown and glare at Ji Mo a few times.
More and more children and young girls stood in the corner of the hall. The efficiency of the Mysterious Female Sect in selecting disciples was quite high, and many disciples were left behind.
Wu Wang also overheard some private conversations.
These children and young girls who were recognized by the Tian Yan Stone were not yet disciples of the Mysterious Female Sect. There were still several rounds of tests to verify their character and background.
The ceremony of accepting disciples was just the first round of "preliminary tests."
It was not easy to enter such a large sect.
The ceremony had been going on for an unknown amount of time when Wu Wang suddenly caught a glimpse of a faint fairy light and heard some soft exclamations.
"The talent of a Saintess! She has six stars!"
"The previous person who made the sixth star light up seems to be Ling Fairy! Whose sixth star shines brighter?"
"How can we remember that? It seems to be Ling Fairy. At that time, her star was full, but this girl's sixth star is a bit dim."
"Yes, Ling Fairy's sixth star was fully lit, while this girl's sixth star is only half lit. The difference of half a star is not small. Whether she can break through the bottleneck or not, it all depends on that thin line of height."
Wu Wang raised an eyebrow and looked at the Tian Yan Stone. He saw a young girl in a pink dress, who already had a faint cultivation base, appearing with a face full of joy.
Even more delighted were the elders of the Mysterious Female Sect. Two elders came forward and took the girl to the side, asking her where she came from, her name, her family, and whether she was engaged...
Wu Wang scanned the figures outside the mountain gate with his spiritual sense, and there were not many people waiting outside.
Is Ling Fairy really going to compare talents with these girls who haven't even entered the sect yet?
Regardless of the outcome, this matter itself is quite embarrassing; but with the rules of the Mysterious Female Sect, it's not appropriate for Wu Wang, a Demon Sect Master, to say anything.
After about half an hour, the lotus platform brought in the last dozen or so girls, and only three remained in the hall.
This round of preliminary tests came to an end, and the hall was filled with the faces of two to three hundred young children.
As expected, Ling Xiaolan was called over by the elders to have her talent assessed.
As soon as she appeared, the entire hall became much brighter, and Wu Wang couldn't take his eyes off her.Ling Xianzi should be preparing for the upcoming sword dance, changing her usual style of wrapping herself tightly in layers of clothes. She is wearing a light pink strapless long skirt, with a white chiffon fairy belt floating behind her, and her long hair is styled in a cloud bun.
Her bare feet are not wearing shoes, only a few golden threads wrapped around her ankles, making her fair skin even more delicate.
At this moment, she is floating in the air, about an inch off the ground, refusing to let her feet touch the ground.
Xing Tian whispered, "This fairy looks amazing! She has a different style from the girls in our North Wilderness, but she is also very beautiful."
"Master Xing Tian," Ji Mo grabbed Xing Tian's arm and transmitted his voice to him.
Xing Tian's eyes lit up, he turned his head to look at Wu Wang, then at Ling Xianzi, and then his gaze became critical.
"She is just a little worse than my sister, but still not as good as my sister."
Ji Mo glared at Xing Tian and leaned in to look at the sect master.
Wu Wang twitched the corner of his mouth and looked to the side, not commenting on the matter.
Below, Ling Xianzi whispered a few words to the elder next to her, and then raised her left hand.
The hall became silent, and all eyes gathered on Ling Xianzi's fingertips, watching her slowly touch the Tian Yan Stone.
For some reason, Wu Wang became a little nervous.
As a good friend who had gone through hardships with Ling Xianzi, he naturally hoped that she would be fine and not be depressed because of today's events, feeling empty in her heart...
The Tian Yan Stone emitted a bright light!
The bright fairy light illuminated the entire hall, and from within that fairy light, stars lit up one by one from bottom to top, arranged in a certain pattern, seemingly corresponding to a constellation in the starry sky.
Four, five, six stars!
Six full stars, the appearance of a saintess, and the brightness of the fairy light at this moment was obviously several times stronger than the previous girl.
Suddenly, the Tian Yan Stone trembled lightly, and a burst of green light burst out from the damaged part of the stone tablet.
This green light became even brighter, and in an instant, it condensed into the seventh star!
As if touching some kind of restriction, the six groups of light below also showed their own colors, and the colorful light reflected on Ling Xiaolan's face, which was filled with astonishment, making her unable to recover for a long time.
The position of the saintess seemed... more stable.
...
That day, in the main hall of the Mysterious Female Sect, the colorful fairy light flashed five or six times.
Ling Xiaolan couldn't believe it and kept pressing on the Tian Yan Stone.
The elders were all alarmed, and the sect master Jing Yue also appeared and paid attention. Ling Xiaolan was soon surrounded by the elders and left the main hall.
The scene was as if someone was going to assassinate her on the spot.
Some elders also called the disciples who were in the same batch as Ling Xiaolan and let them try it one by one. Each person had the same "number of stars" as before.
The number of stars on the Tian Yan Stone had never experienced such an "increase" before.
At this moment, Ling Xiaolan was no longer the disciple with the highest talent in the traditional sense of the Mysterious Female Sect, but the current saintess.
Seven stars shining, colorful fairy light, this was the true saintess of the Mysterious Female Sect.
The Heavenly Yan Saintess!
Since the establishment of the Mysterious Female Sect, such a phenomenon had only occurred once before, and there had only been one Heavenly Yan Saintess.
That was when the Mysterious Female Sect was newly established, during the reign of the Human Emperor Fuxi, which was quite a long time ago.
The previous Heavenly Yan Saintess who caused such a phenomenon later met a young man named Jiang who had not yet emerged. The two became Dao companions for only more than twenty years. The young man rose up and took over the human fire passed down by Emperor Fuxi, becoming the current Human Emperor.
This person was Shen Nong!
The previous Heavenly Yan Saintess was Ting Yao, the master of the current sect master Jing Yue!
With the spread of this story, the spectators at the ceremony were in an uproar.
With the deeds of Senior Ting Yao in front of them, it was hard not to think of such an association—could Ling Xiaolan be the Dao companion of the next Human Emperor?
The young cultivators were naturally moved, and the older generation of cultivators began to think about how to propose marriage.
The calmest one was Ji Mo. He turned his head and glared at Wu Wang, as if trying to see something from his face.
"Wu Wang?"
Wu Wang, who was lost in thought, glared at Ji Mo and transmitted his voice, cursing, "Dare to say half a word, I'll tie you up when we go back and let the disciples of the Black Desire Sect open their eyes!"
"Oh, is that so?"
Ji Mo hurriedly said, "I just wanted to ask if we should go and congratulate Ling Xianzi."
"Let's go, let's go for a walk behind."
Wu Wang stood up and fastened the short sword given by the sect master Jing Yue in his hand. Lin Qi also stood up immediately.
Xing Tian reached out and grabbed Wu Wang's arm, suddenly realizing that he couldn't directly acknowledge Wu Wang, so he grabbed Ji Mo's neck instead.
"What are you guys doing?"
Wu Wang said, "Xing Tian, you wait here for now. The Mysterious Female Sect will arrange for you to drink and eat later. We're going to visit a friend."
"Okay," Xing Tian let go of Ji Mo and waved his hand disinterestedly, "We'll have a good drink with him for several days and nights when we come back."
Immediately, Wu Wang and the other two quickly went to the side door. Just as they arrived, some elders came and said that the sect master wanted to see Wu Wang, so Wu Wang went to meet him.
The ceremony of accepting disciples could not proceed due to this phenomenon.
The scheduled fairy sword dance was also canceled.
An elder from the Mysterious Female Sect announced that the ceremony of accepting disciples had officially ended, and the position of the saintess of the Mysterious Female Sect still belonged to Ling Xiaolan. Female disciples were arranged to invite the guests back to the guest hall to rest.
There would be several days of fairy banquets to follow.
In the back mountain, in the familiar bamboo forest, in the attic where Ling Xiaolan usually practiced and lived.
This novel is available on "p𝑎wread.com".
The experts of the Mysterious Female Sect surrounded this place, and both the inside and outside were filled with old women and cultivators. There were also many disciples staying in the distance, watching attentively.
When Wu Wang arrived with Ji Mo and Lin Qi, they only stayed outside the attic.
The three of them whispered for a while, and the voice of the sect master Jing Yue came from the attic, "Alright, you can all come in."
The immortals all agreed and slowly left the bamboo forest.
Not long after, only Jing Yue and a few elders were left in the attic, and Ling Xiaolan's master, Jue Tian Xianzi, also came with her injuries.
Ling Xiaolan sat on the edge of the bed, her eyes a bit hollow, as if she had lost her soul.
Until she heard these words:
"Please come in, three of you."Ling Xiaolan's eyes sparkled as she rose from her bed.
The Heavenly Immortal and several Supreme Elders exchanged glances, each revealing a gentle smile.
Wu Wang's voice came from outside: "Junior pays his respects to the seniors."
Ji Mo and Lin Qi also greeted them, entering the room with Wu Wang. Today, they had the chance to see Ling Xiaolan's boudoir.
It was impeccably clean.
Wu Wang looked at the stone floor that had been scrubbed until it shone like a mirror, feeling somewhat embarrassed to step on it.
"It's fine," Ling Xiaolan said, "I'll clean it again later."
Ji Mo clasped his hands and laughed: "Congratulations to Fairy Ling and the Mysterious Female Sect."
Lin Qi, however, asked: "Does a higher star count mean higher aptitude? Can men try the Heavenly Stone?"
"Brother Lin, let's not go there," Wu Wang quickly intervened, noticing that Sister Jingyue's expression was somewhat solemn. He didn't dare to make any frivolous remarks, and instead asked: "Senior, you called us here. May I ask why?"
"Sit down."
Jingyue, dressed in a Taoist robe, sat by a round table. Wu Wang and the others took their seats as instructed.
A Supreme Elder set up a barrier on the side to ensure their conversation wouldn't be overheard.
Jingyue stared at Wu Wang and asked directly: "Wu Wang, what do you think of this matter?"
Ji Mo and Lin Qi exchanged glances, both somewhat puzzled, apparently not yet aware of the seriousness of the issue.
"It's a bit troublesome."
Wu Wang slowly uttered these four words, turning to look at Ling Xiaolan, who was still dressed in her sword dance attire. He noticed that she had applied a light makeup today, adding a touch of charm to her willow-leaf eyebrows.
He said: "With the stories of the seniors before us, and the imminent change of the Human Emperor's position after a thousand years, the pressure Fairy Ling will face is not only from the Heavenly Palace and the Ten Evil Gods, but also from the major forces in the Human Realm."
Fairy Ling said: "I don't care about them. If anyone forces me, I will remain unmarried for life."
Wu Wang laughed: "Fairy, don't be agitated. Who can force you to marry? Can't the Mysterious Female Sect, with its great power, protect you?"
"Alas," Jingyue sighed softly, "If Master's lifespan hadn't run out and he could see the reappearance of the Seven Stars, he would be extremely gratified."
Wu Wang asked: "Is the Seven Stars phenomenon really related to the next Human Emperor?"
"There's no direct correlation."
Jingyue's eyes held a hint of reminiscence.
"My master and the Emperor were childhood sweethearts, deeply in love. They weathered many storms together, but unfortunately, Master couldn't accompany the Emperor on his final journey.
The seventh star of the Heavenly Stone does not represent aptitude, but personal luck.
Master once said that if she hadn't met the Emperor, she wouldn't have been able to light up the seven stars."
Wu Wang immediately understood.
A person of great luck!
Senior Shen Nong once boasted that he was a person of great luck, a Heavenly Immortal who could turn misfortune into fortune in any dangerous situation. The position of Human Emperor was not difficult for him to obtain.
Ji Mo whispered: "Could it be that Fairy Ling has already met the next Human Emperor?"
"It's too early to say. A person of great luck is not necessarily the next Human Emperor."
A Supreme Elder said gently:
"But this person will certainly have a fortune and destiny comparable to Emperor Shen Nong.
He can turn danger into safety, breakthrough in cultivation as if in a dream, and may even advance three or four stages after waking up. He can also provide considerable help to those around him..."
Wu Wang suddenly said: "Why are you two looking at me like that!"
Ji Mo and Lin Qi exchanged glances, then stood up in unison.
Ji Mo laughed: "It seems this matter has nothing to do with us. If there's nothing else, we'll wait outside."
Lin Qi said seriously: "My master once slept for three days. Before he fell asleep, he hadn't condensed his Elixir, but when he woke up, he had become an Elemental Infant."
The two of them bowed together, saying: "We take our leave."
After saying this, they turned and walked towards the door, their backs full of determination. After leaving the pavilion, they both burst into laughter.
Wu Wang's forehead was covered in black lines. Just as he was about to complain about these two guys betraying their friend, he suddenly felt a sharp gaze on the back of his neck.
The Sect Master Jingyue raised her eyebrows, her eyes icy. She transmitted a voice to Wu Wang:
"What? Is Xiaolan's phenomenon today related to you and your disciple?"
A huge word "danger" was now hanging over Wu Wang's head.
