At the top of Tianmen Peak, Xiantian Hall, Lu Yang stood upright, respectfully waiting for his master to arrive.
Inside Xiantian Hall, it was cold and quiet, spotless, and the smoke rising made the heart calm.
Lu Yang noticed that there were three tablets in the hall, namely Xiantian Taoist, Guiyuan Tianzun, and Hanhai Daojun.
Lu Yang knew all three of them, and they had a very special meaning in the Dao Sect:
Twelve thousand years ago, Xiantian Taoist, who walked out of the Taoist temple, established his own mountain gate and founded the Dao Sect. At that time, Xiantian Taoist was just an ordinary cultivator. There were at least eight thousand cultivators like him in the Central Continent, so when the Dao Sect was first established, it was just a small sect.
100,000 years ago, the world was in chaos. An extraordinary genius emerged from the Daoist sect. In terms of his talent for cultivating immortals, he was not even in the top 50 at the time, but he was smart, good at making friends, loyal, and blessed by some kind of luck. He rose in the chaotic world, followed the trend of the times, stood at the forefront of the times, and was unparalleled in his glory. His cultivation was even more difficult to match. His title was Guiyuan Tianzun.
The Daoist sect flourished under the hands of Guiyuan Tianzun, and it became one of the most powerful sects at the time. At the 20,000-year celebration of the Daoist sect, many close friends came to celebrate. He took this opportunity to jointly establish the title of the Five Great Immortal Sects with the four top cultivators at the time, which was recognized by the world.
There is no eternal existence in the world, no eternal glory. After another 50,000 years, the Daowen Sect was weak. The elders in the sect were either approaching their end or died. There were very few who could hold up the situation. None of the disciples were motivated, and they were in an awkward situation of lack of successors. There were even rumors that they would fall out of the five major sects.
Perhaps the Daowen Sect really had good luck. One day, the elders of the Daowen Sect went out to kill demons and rescued a child from the ruins. They brought the child back to the sect and were surprised to find that the child was an extremely rare cultivation genius. The child lived up to expectations and improved his cultivation by leaps and bounds. In a few years, he became the strongest person in the Tribulation Crossing Period at that time.
The child was called Hanhai Daojun, and was called the ancestor of the Daowen Sect's revival by later generations. He continued the glory of the Daowen Sect for 50,000 years until today.
"Big sister, where is our master?" Lu Yang retracted his gaze and waited in the hall for a long time, but did not wait for the second person except Big sister.
"Master is in seclusion now. He is in a critical period of cultivation and cannot get away. I will accept you as a disciple on your behalf and teach you how to cultivate."
"Before you officially cultivate, let me briefly introduce our sect to you. Master has very few rules. As long as you don't go too far, violate ethical principles, and make people angry, he won't care."
"But my bottom line is higher than his. I will care about things he won't care about."
"Master has four disciples in total. In addition to you and me, you have a senior brother and a senior sister. One of them is in the Western Buddhist Kingdom and the other is in the Southern Demon Realm. They don't return to the sect all year round, so it's difficult to see them."
"When you have achieved success in cultivation and have the opportunity to travel around, you may meet them. As for now..." Yunzhi paused, took out three ink portraits, and laid them out in a row. They were the master, second senior brother, and third senior sister that Lu Yang had never met.
The three people in the portraits were smiling very happily.
The master has white hair and his eyes are not as cloudy as those of ordinary old people. He looks like a hermit who likes to play and have fun.
The second senior brother has a gentle smile, sword eyebrows and star eyes, and is as gentle as jade.
The third senior sister has a variety of styles and is a beauty who brings disaster to the country and the people.
"The master specifically told me that there are five people in our sect, including you. When you become my disciple, it will be too lonely for only you and me. For this reason, the master specially prepared portraits of the three of them to replace them."
Lu Yang looked at the eldest senior sister, and then looked at the lifelike black and white portraits placed around him, as if they were looking at him, and felt a chill in his back for some reason.
Just like the whole sect is full of loyal and brave people, only he and the eldest senior sister are left.
Three more incense sticks appeared in front of Lu Yang. Yun Zhi handed them to him: "This is the incense sticks. You can pass on your thoughts. Offering three incense sticks to Master can convey your gratitude and respect."
The three incense sticks were lit and inserted into the small incense burner in front of Master's portrait: "Master, please accept my disciple's worship."
Now it looks more like it.
After the worship, Lu Yang asked hesitantly: "Big sister, although it is a bit disrespectful to ask this, Master is still alive, right?"
Lu Yang was afraid that Yun Zhi would sneer and say that "Master died, and the high-level officials kept it secret" and let you know such a secret, so you can't stay.
Yun Zhi was confused and didn't understand why Lu Yang asked this question.
"Of course I'm alive."
"I've seen your test results at Yanchuan Peak. You remember the acupuncture points and meridians of the human body very accurately, and you can recite and write the basic mental methods. It's very good. Your enthusiasm for learning deserves praise."
"Next, we will start formal practice."
When Lu Yang heard this, he showed an excited smile on his face and listened more seriously.
He can finally start practicing.
When the formal practice began, the eldest sister said at the beginning: "This is my first time teaching a disciple, and this is your first time as a disciple. You and I will make do with each other."
"But you don't have to worry too much. I've made sufficient preparations for today."
Yun Zhi lined up various small medicine jars with the names of the pills. Lu Yang had heard of them:
The bone pill that can turn human flesh and bones into white bones.
One of the series of creations invented by the Buddha Kingdom to accumulate merits, the Seven-Level Pagoda Pill, which is better than building a seven-level pagoda by saving a life. Anyone who eats the Seven-Level Pagoda Pill can get a merit from the Buddha Kingdom.
Nine-turn reincarnation pills, there is a saying in the world of immortal cultivation that nine deaths and reincarnations can exchange for one life.
With these pills, Lu Yang can hardly die.
"Practice qi first and then practice body training. Although you have never been exposed to body training, let's start from scratch."
Yun Zhi casually cut through the space and took out two large water tanks from the storage space. Hearing the dull sound of the water tanks hitting the ground, Lu Yang's heart skipped a beat and he had a bad premonition.
"Sword cultivators pay attention to sword intent and arm strength, so the first thing to focus on in body training is to train arm strength. I will only demonstrate it once, please watch carefully."
Yun Zhi stepped on the edge of the water tank with both feet, as if walking on flat ground, then she pinched the edge of the other water tank with one hand, gently lifted it up and let go, while the water tank had not yet fallen to the ground, changed her other hand to pinch the edge of the water tank again, and repeated it, the movements were as smooth as flowing water, which made people feel pleasing to the eye.
If you don't consider the feeling of the arm, this method can indeed train arm strength.
"Just do this much."
Yunzhi put down the water tank and said lightly.
Lu Yang swallowed his saliva in fear. He could tell without lifting it that the water tank was half a person's height. It was more than enough to stuff him into the water tank, fill it with sand and bury it in the ground.
To play with such a big tank, it would take one's life.
Lu Yang strode forward, held his breath, and lifted the water tank with one hand. The whole action was done in one go.
He couldn't lift it.
He exerted force with both hands again, using all his strength, and the water tank shook reluctantly, indicating that Lu Yang was really trying hard.
