Chapter 2 Water Moon Cave Sky

Reach for the Stars!

As the first main peak of the Izumo Mountains, it is 6,800 meters high.

There is a tower on the peak, called Star Picking Tower, which is 1,200 meters high.

The legendary Shuiyuedongtian of the Xiyue Sect is located in this tower.

It is said that Star Picking Peak was originally 7,600 meters high.

Eighteen hundred years ago, in order to build this peak, Xiyue Sect's great master cut off the 800-meter peak and moved it into the Star Reaching Tower. From then on, the Star Reaching Tower became the Shuiyue Cave. The majestic spirit is countless times larger than the Langya Blessed Land in Xiaoyao Palace.

The Star Reaching Tower was originally a Taoist weapon. It has unlimited space inside and is a world of its own. Not to mention it can accommodate the 800-meter peak. No matter how much space it accommodates, there will be no problem.

There is another hall under the Star Picking Tower called the Shen Temple.

This hall is the main hall of the Xiyue Sect, and internal discussions of the Xiyue Sect are held in this hall.

Sometimes when important events occur, all the disciples of the sect are summoned, ceremonies are held, and speeches are performed on the stage, all in the square in front of this hall and that hall.

The main hall is originally a complete building complex, magnificent and magnificent, with thousands of buildings, jade buildings, jade buildings, carved railings and jade masonry, which can be described as extremely gorgeous.

The four major purple mansions of the Xiyue Sect live on the Shen Temple.

Of course, it is now the Five Great Purple Mansion.

In other words, the entire Shuiyue Cave is actually guarded by the five major Purple Houses of Xiyue Sect, which shows its great significance!

On this day, a young man came up from Zhaixing Peak.

Tang Jie!

Standing in front of the temple, pushing open the huge door, you will see a vast starry sky inside.

Being in the palace is like being in the void, with stars twinkling everywhere, but there is a silver moon in the distance. No matter how the starry sky changes, the silver moon always hangs high in the sky, emitting an elegant and quiet light.

Tang Jie bowed to the silver moon.

Then a majestic voice sounded in the hall: "Tang Jie!"

"Disciple is here!" Tang Jie replied respectfully.

A ball of light rose in the void,

Like a small sun floating on the edge of the silver moon.

If you look carefully, it is clearly a person, sitting cross-legged, hanging in the air, but the whole body emits a strong light that makes it difficult to see his appearance. The light is clearly aura, in a special form, a kind of aura. A more violent form was released, covering the whole body, making people feel like they were floating in the ocean of spiritual energy. Tang Jie couldn't help but tremble in his heart and lowered his head again.

"I am True Lord Xuanyue. In recognition of your meritorious service in the previous season, Yahai, I will give you the Water Moon Cave and the Journey to Heaven. Are you ready?"

"Yes, disciple is ready." Tang Jie replied.

The light in the void dimmed slightly, and Tang Jie could finally see a bit of the true face of True Lord Xuanyue. He was a man all in white, and his age could not be seen. If he sat there motionless, it would only make people think that he was This is a statue.

The True Lord Xuanyue stopped talking and glanced at him lightly. Tang Jie felt a shiver in his heart.

He knew that with just one glance, Zhenjun Xuan Yue had already looked over his whole body, even including the things he carried in the mustard bag. He was afraid that any prohibited items would be found. He saw it.

Fortunately, when he came this time, Tang Jie was fully prepared and did not bring any contraband. Things such as soul refining beads had been properly placed in his residence, and Yiyi had taken care of them.

At this moment, after True Lord Xuanyue inspected it, there was an inexplicable and strange look on his face, as if he was wondering about the gadgets Tang Jie brought.

However, he was surprised, and he nodded in approval after all.

Then he made a fingerprint with one hand and tapped it gently towards Tang Jie. A ray of light shot towards Tang Jie's eyebrows.

Tang Jie felt his forehead heat up, and there was a silver moon mark on his forehead.

Then True Lord Xuanyue said: "This is the mark of entering the tower. With this mark, you can pass freely in the tower."

Then he waved his sleeves and said, "Go."

Tang Jie felt that a force had wrapped around him and took him flying towards the back of the palace.

Flying all the way, countless palace doors opened automatically.

Until the last hall door opened with a bang, Tang Jie had flown out of the temple. In front of him was a tall tower shrouded in clouds and mist, which was the Star Reaching Tower.

The power led him to continue flying forward. It seemed like it was only a short distance, but it actually took him a while to reach the tower. Tang Jie knew that this was probably a trap set up on the Star Picking Peak. If not, Zhenjun saw him off, and he was afraid that he would never reach the tower after walking for the rest of his life.

At this moment when he arrived in front of the tower, the power finally disappeared, and Tang Jie fell from the sky.

The voice of True Lord Xuanyue sounded again: "Start from here and enter on your own. Remember the rules after entering the tower and don't violate them!"

"Disciple, remember this and don't dare forget!"

When True Lord Xuan Yue remained silent, Tang Jie strode forward.

In front of you is a copper gate. On the gate is a relief sculpture of a strange beast that looks like a little monkey with three eyes. You can't tell where it came from.

Tang Jie was about to push the door, but he saw that the relief of the alien beast on the door actually moved. He smiled at Tang Jie and said, "Hey, is another boy trying to get into my belly? Let me think about it besides those tubers. Damn it, how long has it been since no outsiders came in here? One year... two years... Well, no, no, it should be three years. No one has been here for three years. What happened to the Xiyue Sect recently? Is the talent getting better and better? Is it withering away, or are the big guys in the faction becoming more and more stingy?”

Tang Jie looked at the relief of the alien beast: "May I ask your Excellency who it is?"

The three-eyed monkey beast laughed and said: "Me? Didn't I tell you that you are going to get into my belly? So stupid, so stupid!"

"Are you from the Star Reaching Tower?"

The monkey beast nodded with his hands on his hips: "Yes, that's right, I am Lord Star-Zhaining Monkey, the Soul of the Dao Soldier, and the entire Star-Zhaining Tower is under my control. If you dare to violate the rules, I can deal with you. Oh. Of course, if you are willing to bribe me, or I can turn a blind eye."

The star-catching monkey started laughing as he spoke.

"Really, but I didn't bring bananas this time, maybe later." Tang Jie responded, but ignored it and just pushed the door open.

The monkey beast saw that Tang Jie ignored him and just went in. He was stunned at first, and then became angry: "Asshole, bastard, how dare you ignore me, Master Tianhou! Banana, he actually said that he would use bananas to coax him. I, Ming Ye Sky, did you hear me!"

A chuckle came, and a ray of light appeared in front of the Star Picking Tower. Like the True Monarch Xuanyue, it was like a sun, shining in all directions. There was a person sitting inside, and it was the bright night sky.

He had long hair hanging over his shoulders and sat slightly with his eyes closed.

Until he appeared at this moment, he raised his head slightly and looked at the star-catching monkey: "I told my senior a long time ago that your tricks can't deceive him. How about it? He saw through you without even asking. If the guardian beast is like this They can be bribed easily, and even take the initiative to ask for bribes... Hehe, the six major sects are no longer the six major sects."

Although it took less than two thousand years for the Star Picking Tower to be transformed into the Water Moon Cave, it has a history of more than five thousand years. Even Zhenjun Ming Yekong respectfully calls it a senior.

"Tch!" The star-catching monkey on the bronze door had crossed his arms, showing an unconvinced look. It also knows that the disciples who can enter Shuiyue Cave are definitely not easy to deceive. In fact, it has been here for nearly two thousand years and can count the number of fools it has deceived with just one slap. However, like Tang Jie, it did not even ask how to bribe them. Still relatively rare.

"Senior, what do you think of this kid?"

Tianhou's eyes rolled around, and then he said: "He is quite a talent. As long as he doesn't violate the rules, I will help him when I see the opportunity."

"Then thank you, senior." Ming Yekong smiled and cupped his hands to Tianhou, and the man gradually disappeared.

Seeing the bright night sky disappearing, the star-picking monkey's face darkened and he said: "Whoever can enter the Water Moon Cave is not a good seedling that is favored by others? I don't know how many people have asked me to help guide them in the past two thousand years." But even so, how many people can reach the top? This guy contributed 30,000, and he can only stay for a hundred days. It is almost impossible to reach the top within a hundred days! Hum, monkey, I'd better watch the show, save the money Put some effort into it.”

As soon as he closed his eyes, he just reshaped the relief and stopped moving. He didn't pay attention to Ming Yekong's request at all.

——————————

After entering the tower, Tang Jie saw that he was in a wilderness, surrounded by flowers, and the environment was extremely beautiful.

The spiritual energy in the air is so rich that it can turn into spiritual liquid and drip into the body just by taking a breath. Its abundance is much more powerful than the Nine Jue Immortal Killing Formation.

It's no wonder that in the end, he was the only one in the place where the soldier returned to the ruins, and what he transformed was such a large space.

This Shuiyue Cave is the place where countless great masters of the Xiyue Sect return to their ruins, so the effects are naturally different.

If possible, Tang Jie really wanted to sit down and meditate, without using anything else. Just breathing the spiritual energy here would increase his cultivation speed several times.

But if it was just for this, Tang Jie wouldn't have to spend ten years to save his contribution.

Even if the concentration of spiritual energy here is ten times that of the outside world, a hundred days is only equivalent to three years of training outside.

He had wasted more than three years in the past ten years.

A mountain peak can be seen in the distance in the wilderness.

Tang Jie knew that this peak was 888 meters high, which was exactly the part of the peak that was cut off from Zhaixing Peak.

There is a pool on the top of the mountain called Yingyue Pool. It is said that the ancestor of this sect was the place where Shuiyue Tianzun entered the Tao and ascended, leaving a rich legacy. Whoever can climb this mountain will be blessed with great blessings.

Unfortunately, there is a large formation on the peak, and no one can fly here. Even if you climb the mountain on foot, you will feel great pressure.

For thousands of years, Xiyue Sect disciples have countless heroes, but there are very few who can climb the mountain. Even Tianxin Zifu is no exception. The stronger the strength, the greater the pressure you feel. There is no advantage in this realm, and the only thing you can rely on is your own will.

In addition, the Qianyue Sect's Millennium Fields are also distributed around mountains.

The 800-meter peak is filled with spiritual fields cultivated by Xiyue Sect farm disciples, and they are divided according to age, planting and harvesting. The higher you go up, the longer the spiritual planting years and the higher the rarity.

These disciples wear special protective gear, so they are exempt from the pressure of the formation and can freely go up and down the mountain. However, under the supervision of the Star-catching Monkeys, although they played with these spiritual plants all year round, they had no chance to obtain even one of them. Occasionally, there are people who take risks, but they all end badly.

According to the rules of the Xiyue Sect, for every hundred meters of the Millennium Field on this mountain peak, one can freely choose a spiritual plant at the same height.

If you go up to 600 meters, you can choose one every 50 meters.

If you go up to 750 meters, you can choose one every ten meters.

Other than that, it’s just the legacy of those who came before us.

There are too many seniors who have passed away and died here, and there are also too many seniors who have left their experiences and insights at different heights.

These valuable experiences can only be seen and learned by those disciples who have climbed up through their own efforts.

For this reason, for every disciple who enters the cave, trying to climb to the top is an indispensable choice - for more valuable resources, for more valuable experience, and for the more abundant spiritual energy at the peak. .

At this moment, looking at the distant peak, Tang Jie's eyes were already burning with passion.

He let out a low whistle and walked toward the mountain peak, seemingly slowly but actually quickly, and he reached the foot of the mountain not long after.

At the foot of the mountain is a stone staircase that leads all the way to the top.

On both sides of the stairs are large terraces, and you can faintly see farmhouse disciples wearing special array uniforms handling spiritual plants.

Someone saw Tang Jie coming and shouted, "Look, someone is coming to climb the mountain!"

This shout attracted many farm hall disciples to watch, and Tang Jie discovered that there were actually a lot of disciples in charge of the spiritual fields here. There were hundreds of disciples in the terraced fields a hundred meters below.

Those people looked at Tang Jie with envy in their eyes.

Even though they have been in this Shuiyue Cave all day long, when they are wearing array clothes, it is difficult for them to even take one more breath of the spiritual energy here. They are in the treasure mountain, but they can never take away a trace of the treasure. They can only watch those outstanding disciples come here year after year, freely breathe the spiritual energy here, and take away the precious spiritual plants.

"It's Tang Jie." A disciple from the farm hall said solemnly.

Ten years ago, Tang Jie was allowed to enter Shuiyue Cave Heaven. This incident once caused a sensation in the sect, and naturally many people in the farm hall knew about it.

"It turns out to be that lucky guy." A farm disciple snorted.

"Good luck?" A disciple from the farm hall wearing a formation suit and holding a dragon-coiling stick said disdainfully: "If you can kill hundreds of disciples of the Beast Refining Sect in one go, you can also get this good from the two Tianxin Masters. Luck. I’m afraid that if I can’t take the opponent’s head, I will become a meritorious deed in the hands of others!”

The farm disciple who had spoken earlier was immediately choked back by these words.

At this time, Tang Jie had arrived at the foot of the stone ladder and started to climb the mountain. Just as he was about to step on it, he suddenly thought of something. He turned around and gave a salute to the Nongtang disciples on both sides, and said loudly: "Tang Jie has met Nongtang Senior Brother. Thanks It took thousands of years of cultivation for my senior brothers to have this important place in the cave world, Xiyue Sect. Tang Jie has the opportunity to enter this treasured place today, thank you all!"

The words he spoke were sincere and clearly came from the bottom of his heart.

Everyone didn't expect Tang Jie to be so polite, and they were all at a loss for a moment.

Over the years, they have planted and cultivated spiritual plants here, and have seen many senior brothers come here.

There are those who are more polite, and they just nod to them as a sign of respect; there are those who are surly and bastard, who will even make fun of their incompetence, go up the mountain without saying anything, and even say all kinds of humiliating words.

This is the first time in all these years that I have seen someone like Tang Jie say thank you before going up the mountain.

A large group of farm disciples looked at each other, and finally a senior brother who looked like a Cong leader stood up and said: "Junior Brother Tang, you are so polite. Junior brother has only been in the Shuiyue Cave for ten years after joining the sect. He is destined to be an elite figure of the Xiyue Sect in the future. , we can only look up to him. Zhao Hui, I wish Junior Brother Tang success in his mountain climbing, and he will rise high all the way!"

The other farm hall disciples also bowed their hands to Tang Jie.

Tang Jie saluted in return: "Thank you all!"

This person turned around and took the first step to the top of the mountain.

After taking this step, Tang Jie immediately felt a sudden weight on his body and almost fell down.

It's gravity!

Tang Jie had realized something and looked at his feet.

There was only one step between them, but there were completely different feelings on the stairs and down the stairs. When Tang Jie stood on the first step, he clearly felt that there seemed to be something pulling on him on the ground below, which made him step forward for a moment. No pace.

Fortunately, the force was not too great. Tang Jie was unprepared just now, but now he was mentally prepared. He continued to step upward. When he stood on the second stone step, the gravity was indeed stronger.

Tang Jie finally understood why flying was not allowed here.

Obviously, the gravity comes from the land at the foot of the previous mountain.

This is not actually gravity, but a pulling force.

The further away from the ground, the stronger the pulling force from the land. When it rises to a certain height, it may not even be possible to move forward.

Sure enough, the farm disciple named Zhao Hui said: "Junior brother Tang, this place is controlled by a large formation. The higher you go up, the more difficult it becomes. However, this power works from below to above, so as long as you can get up the steps Just do it, don’t support it too hard, it will only make the power act on you for a long time and consume your strength in vain.”

After hearing what Zhao Hui said, Tang Jie immediately understood the purpose of this arrangement.

Obviously, this bottom-up pull is to give the disciples a chance to break through and rest.

If the pressure is from top to bottom, then the climber will be trapped in a permanent state of weight-bearing, which means that they will not get any rest.

If it's an ordinary person who doesn't get a rest, that's fine. If he doesn't get a rest during that kind of extreme test, it's tantamount to killing someone.

What can reach the limit will not last; what can last will certainly not be called the limit.

"So that's it. Paili really has far-reaching thoughts. Thank you senior brother for reminding me." Tang Jie said with a smile.

Although these farmhouse disciples have not had the opportunity to climb mountains, they have been here for many years and have seen many things. At this moment, Zhao Hui's words cleared away the fog in his heart, allowing him to save a lot of effort in the future, which also meant saving a lot of time.

At this moment, as Zhao Hui said, he climbed up the mountain in one breath, but he didn't hold on. He sat down and rested every few steps.

The first hundred meters are the best to climb, so it didn't take long for Tang Jie to climb the first fifty meters.

There is a curve at the first fifty meters. There is a stone tablet next to the curve, marking the height, and there is a stone bench next to it for visitors to rest.

Tang Jie was resting on the stone bench and saw Zhao Hui walking around with the Coiling Dragon Stick in his hand. His heart moved slightly and he said, "Senior Brother Zhao, what are you doing with the weapon?"

Zhao Hui replied: "Of course it's to prevent those damn monsters from coming to cause trouble."

"Monster?" Tang Jie was slightly startled: "Are there any monsters in this Shuiyue Cave?" rg
