Chapter 1 Golden Cloud Examination
Liang Kingdom, Golden Cloud Valley.
The third level of the Immortal Sect Examination, the Illusory Heart Stage.
On the round platform made of white jade, one or two hundred teenagers were enveloped by a lavender stream of light, caught in a phantasmagoria, with expressions of either rage, fear, or grief......
"Hiss!"
Lu Chang'an stifled a grunt, suddenly awakening.
His brows stared up and beads of sweat overflowed from his forehead. It was as if a certain seal had been broken open in the depths of his brain, enduring a torrential onslaught of information!
"Not bad! The third awakening of the 'Illusory Heart Stage', the will is superior."
Not far away, several sect immortal masters privately commented.
The Illusory Heart Stage is the final level of the Golden Cloud Valley's entrance examination, examining the state of mind and will.
"Lu Changan, medium grade spiritual root, third place in the Illusory Heart Stage, considered a small immortal seedling......"
"Hmm? First level of Qi Refining, nearly eighteen years old?"
"Pity......"
A few sounds of regret came from the surroundings.
......
"The Liang Immortal Cultivation World...... Golden Cloud Valley Entrance Examination......"
"Lu Chang'an, nearly eighteen years old?"
"This time, he broke the mystery of the fetus, much later than in his last life, and missed the best age to enter Immortal Cultivation."
On the Illusory Heart Stage, Lu Chang'an's face was flushed with movement and his gaze was deep.
"However, after awakening in this life, and then being fed by the [Nine Seal Tablet], the initial strength of the soul is actually another step stronger than the second life?"
Lu Chang'an's brows relaxed and his expression returned to its natural state.
Right, the [Nine Seal Tablet]!
His eyes were slightly closed as he appeared to be recuperating.
Deep in his mind, an ancient and dark stone tablet appeared, with abstract textures outlined on its surface.
The "Nine Seals Tablet" is a mysterious monument that he accidentally touched on Earth, thus starting a mysterious journey of Immortal Cultivation and Reincarnation.
Lu Chang'an did not know the origin of the monument and named it according to its appearance.
The front of the monument.
From top to bottom, there are nine rectangular box-shaped branding.
Inside the first frame, a handsome man holding a talismanic brush with a straight body is depicted.
In the second frame, there is a white-bearded old man wearing an ink robe and stepping on a recluse.
The first two frames are dead and dark, and the figures are comparable to a life-span image.
The third frame is a young man's shadow with white light.
It has yet to take shape on the stone tablet.
This young man's silhouette is a perfect match for Lu Chang'an at the moment.
The remaining six box-shaped brands below are all blank.
"Counting from the first life of Earth crossing over to the world of Immortal Cultivation, it is now the third life."
Lu Changan's consciousness exited the [Nine Seal Tablet] and briefly combed through the experiences of his first two lives.
In his first life, when he first came to the Immortal Cultivation World, his qualifications were mediocre, he was a casual cultivator, and he barely managed to cultivate to the ninth level of Qi Refining.
The only thing I can do is to draw charms.
In the end, in order to compete for the opportunity to build the foundation, the skill is not as good as others, and died in the fight.
In his second life, he was born in a family of immortal cultivators, with a top-grade spiritual root, and with the cultivation experience and talismanic art of his first life, he advanced all the way to the peak of the late JieDan stage, which was a beautiful sight for a while.
But in the end, he failed to reach the Yuanying stage and died.
"In my first two lives, I have only scratched the surface of the Nine Seal Tablet. After speculation, at least to promote to the YuanYing stage, the soul qualitative change, in order to dig out the real secrets of the [Nine Seal Tablet]."
With this in mind, Lu Chang'an had already clarified the purpose of this life.
"YuanYing stage!"
If he fails to reach this realm, the [Nine Seal Tablet] might take him to continue his next reincarnation...... up to nine times.
Of course, this is optimistic speculation.
Maybe it's only "three lifetimes".
Then the failure of this life will be his total demise!
......
"Ah! Don't......"
As time passed, the teenagers on the Illusory Heart Stage woke up one after another, the scene was noisy, interrupting Lu Chang'an's thoughts.
"Lu Chang'an, when did you wake up?"
A few nearby teenagers, looking at Lu Chang'an, who had awakened earlier, looked a little surprised. "Luck, a little earlier than you guys."
Lu Chang'an was calmly surveying the two men and one woman in front of him.
All of them were Immortal Saplings who were brought over from Hengshui Province and met each other on the way.
Zhao Siyao, medium grade spiritual root, from a family of scholars.
She is only fourteen or fifteen years old, but she is already a beautiful girl with beautiful eyes and lips like vermilion sand.
Lin Yi, a lower-grade spirit root, the common son of the Marquis of Guang'an.
Lin Yi is a young man of 16 or 17 years old, with brocade clothes, sword eyebrows, and the highest cultivation level amongst the others, reaching the third level of Qi Refining.
At this time, Lin Yi's expression is depressed.
Li Ergou, a farmer with a lower-grade spiritual root.
Li Ergou, a farmer, was dressed in hemp clothes and had a thin body with dark skin, he was a bit panicky and timid, he didn't dare to come near Lin Yi and Zhao Siyao.
"Brother Lu, the third level is so difficult. If not for the sudden ringing of my family's old hen's morning song, almost fell into a life of brocade......"
Li Ergou palpitated, patting his chest, very naturally close to Lu Changan.
Due to the difference in the level of origin, a few immortal seedlings from the same region are different from each other in terms of affinity.
Lin Yi's aura of kingship and nobility, and his hidden arrogance made Li Er Dog instinctively fearful.
Zhao Siyao, as a famous girl from a famous family, is well educated and polite to everyone, and has never belittled Li Ergou and Lu Chang'an, who are of poor backgrounds.
But Li Er Dog didn't dare to look at the beautiful Zhao Si Yao directly.
When the eyes of a beautiful woman would occasionally settle, it would make him blush and he would not know what to do. Luckily, his face is dark, so he can hide it.
Li Er Dog is the only one who is close to Lu Chang An.
Lu Chang'an is an orphan.
He also has another identity, he is a gangster and a master of the gang.
To be exact, he is the son of the leader of the "Nujiang Gang" in Hengshui Province.
Lu Chang'an had excellent martial arts qualifications since he was a child, and was already a second-rate expert in the Jianghu world at such a young age.
According to the original plan, in a few years, he will take over his father's position as the leader of the gang.
Until the year before last, he befriended a poor Taoist priest, and learned that he had a spiritual root, or a middle-grade spiritual root with not bad qualifications.
The path of his life took a turn for the worse.
In the third level of the Golden Cloud Valley, he regained the memories of his past life in the "Illusory Heart Stage".
......
"Two Dogs. You have a spiritual root, once you set foot on the road to immortality, no matter whether you were once a king, a general, or a farmer, a car dealer...... the past is all floating clouds."
Lu Changan looked at the humble and timid Li Ergou and patted his shoulder.
After two lifetimes of Immortal Cultivation, Lu Chang'an's heart is like the beginning, and has not turned into an old monster with a few hundred years of mentality.
This is the magic of the Nine Seal Tablet.
It was as if he had awakened from an immersive movie, and his consciousness had been stripped away and returned, only with the memory of two more Immortal Cultivation lives.
He has more life experience and his insights have been greatly expanded.
His heart is the same as when he first traveled to the world of Immortal Cultivation.
"Uh-huh, I know, thank you Brother Lu......"
Li Er Dog rubbed the back of his head and felt a trace of warmth.
"Lu Chang'an, what was your third place in the third level of 'Illusory Heart Stage'?"
At this time, Lin Yi looked annoyed and couldn't help but ask.
Lu Chang'an glanced at Lin Yi, the son of a royal concubine, and pondered.
If I remember correctly, in the third level of the "Illusory Heart Stage", Lin Yi was the last one to awaken among the several people.
In terms of cultivation, Lin Yi was the highest amongst them, reaching the third level of Qi Refining.
However, in the third level of the examination of the will of the heart, Lin Yi's performance was surprisingly the worst!
Li Ergou, who was a farmer, was slightly better than him.
"It seems to be the third place." Lu Chang'an thought about it.
"Third place?"
Lin Yi's pupils shrunk slightly and his face did not look good, as if he could not accept the discrepancy.
In the first two levels, his overall performance had steadily surpassed Lu Changan.
"I didn't expect Brother Lu's will to be so great, worthy of being a young martial arts warrior! Congratulations......"
Zhao Siyao was also surprised, raising her diaphanous brow line, her eyes turning slightly.
On the way to the sect, Lu Changan, as a jianghu person with rich experience and easy-going personality, talked to Zhao Si Yao and got acquainted.
In addition to being the oldest, the latter called him Big Brother Lu. The relationship between the two, even if Lin Yi, who came from a royal family, befriended Zhao Siyao, it was not as good.
Lin Yi mood more and more bad, barely regained composure, as if nothing happened to mention:
"It's a pity that if Brother Lu could achieve first place in the 'Illusory Heart Stage', he would be able to disregard the results of the first two levels and directly pass the examination to become an outer disciple of the 'Golden Cloud Valley'."
"First place in the Illusory Heart Stage and directly enter the sect?"
Lu Chang'an was stunned, not knowing this inside story.
He had a slight regret in his heart, if he had cracked the mystery of the fetus a few days earlier and obtained the soul increase from the Nine Seal Tablet, the entrance examination would have been a sure thing.
Even with the memories of two lifetimes of immortal cultivation, Lu Changan didn't want to be a casual cultivator.
In his first life, he experienced the hardships of being a monk.
In the immortal path, "wealth, couple, law, and land" are indispensable.
The last of these is "land", which refers to the cultivation site.
In the Immortal Cultivation World, almost all of the spiritual veins and blessed caves are occupied by clans, families, and powerful demonic beasts.
Mundane areas are called "spirit-poor lands", where the spiritual energy is incredibly thin and barren.
It is not suitable for cultivation at all!
Without a spiritual vein, the difference in efficiency can be more than tenfold!
The first ranked "wealth" refers to cultivation resources, such as spirit stones, pills, magic treasures, and so on.
There is no cultivation dojo and no resources for immortal cultivation.
At the stage of first entering the Immortal Dao, even a big brother's re-cultivation won't be that smooth.
Therefore, the opportunity to enter the sect would not be missed by Lu Chang'an.
"Those who read out their names come forward!"
Not long after, a deacon from Golden Cloud Valley floated in mid-air and began to announce the list of those who had passed the test.
