Chapter 487 Challenging the Main Peak (2/2)
Countless figures were standing on Genesis Qi clouds in the sky above the plaza. If one took a closer look, one would discover that they were the disciples from the other peaks. In the past, not many of these disciples would come to watch, because Saint Genesis Peak declined far too much in the Cangxuan Sect, and the disciples from the other peaks would often even forget the existence of this seventh peak.
However, the current Saint Genesis Peak was clearly somewhat different than before.
Due to Zhou Yuan’s performance in the chief disciples selection, the other disciples no longer dared to underestimate Saint Genesis Peak, which only had three factions. Hence, the number of disciples who came to watch today was much more impressive than usual.
After all, the current Zhou Yuan was quite an famous figure in the Cangxuan Sect, and everything he did naturally drew the attention of others.
Clang!
As more and more disciples arrived, a gong reverberated across the land. Next, all the disciples saw six glowing lotuses descend from the sky as a vast aura spread, rippling the surrounding space.
It was sect master Qing Yang and the other five peak masters.
These six hegemons would appear here every year when the chief disciple challenged the main peak. After all, Saint Genesis Peak had been the place where patriarch Cang Xuan would often lock himself away in secluded cultivation.
“I wonder whether Saint Genesis Peak will be reopened this year.” Sect master Qing Yang gazed at the giant misty mountain as he sighed softly.
The other five fell silent as they stared at the giant peak before them. They could still remember that when patriarch Cang Xuan established the Cangxuan Sect long ago, there had only been a single peak, which was this very peak that still stood before their eyes.
All of them had once cultivated here.
However, due to the passage of time, their teacher, who once taught and led them by example, was now dead, and many many changes had happened in the world around them.
Sect master Qing Yang gently tidied his sleeves as he withdrew his emotions, making them no longer visible. His deep gaze was cast towards the dilapidated plaza below as he said, “Zhou Yuan, you may begin if you’re ready.”
Every gaze converged towards the young figure at this moment.
Under the numerous watching eyes, Zhou Yuan cupped his fists towards sect master Qing Yang and the rest, before slowly walking forward.
Before the large ancient hall stood old Xuan in his simple clothes, holding his bamboo broom. A faint glimmer flashed in his murky eyes as he looked towards Zhou Yuan.
“Are you confident?” Asked old Xuan in his raspy voice.
Zhou Yuan chuckled, before he replied with a calm expression, “There is no such thing as absolute confidence, but I will not be afraid nor retreat in the face of any difficulty.”
Old Xuan nodded. He gaze Zhou Yuan one last deep look, before suddenly swinging the broom his hand..
Whoo whoo!
Wind suddenly rose, and countless gazes watched as a crack was gently torn open in the mist that clothes the main peak all year round.
Inside the crack, one would just barely be able to make out an old mountain path.
However, space also seemed to twist and distort inside.
Old Xuan slowly said, “Go, follow this path…”
Zhou Yuan stared at the ancient mountain path within the mist, as he took in a deep breath and tightly clenched his fists. In the end, all hesitation dissipated from his eyes, replaced by the firm light of determination.
He had come to the Cangxuan Sect and endured tough training for a year. Wasn’t all of it for this very moment...
Therefore, he would not shrink back no matter what kind of challenges awaited him on this path.
Amidst the innumerable gazes all around, Zhou Yuan’s figure slowly walked forward and stepped into the mist. As his foot landed on the old mountain path, the mist surged towards him, blocking everyone’s vision.
