The Spirit World

Chapter 48 Half-demon!

Old Li has been in Bailing Mountain for thirty-six years. He came here when he was twenty years old and asked for directions and marriage. The three words "Tu Zi Jie" (earth-shaped steps) completely cut off his thoughts.

He clearly felt that he was gifted, and both the people in that small village and the people in the city had extremely high expectations of him. He had thought of returning home in glory after completing his studies, but he never imagined that his talent was just an ordinary one among the vast number of people. The ambition that had been brewing for so long was suddenly overwhelmed. He refused to admit defeat and hated the injustice of the world. All the beautiful dreams encouraged him to try again, but the result made his heart as cold as ice. He refused to accept and shouted about the falsity of the fairy stone and all the deceptions. Before he could make a big fuss, he was severely beaten with a stick. The person who was holding the stick tightly and holding him down looked at him quietly, with sighs of incomprehension in his eyes.

Later he found out that the man who was suppressing him was his senior brother from the Earth Level Shura Dao. He had been with him for a period of time, but in the end, they had only met a few times during the past thirty-six years.

He caused a scene during the test and naturally lost the opportunity to study. He suddenly cried out in pleading, shouting about what the villagers would think of him after he failed to finish his studies, what the city people would think of him, and even about the dignity they had never had before.

The man in the long-sleeved black gown with white plum blossom patterns looked at him and smiled. He still can't forget that smile, so gentle, without a trace of contempt.

He eventually stayed and was able to practice, but he still couldn't enter any Taoist training. In order to punish himself willingly, he volunteered to clean the Thousand-foot Stairs every day, day after day, year after year.

At first, people who didn't know the truth thought it was incredible to see this young man sweeping up fallen leaves from dawn to dusk, and the new disciples were also surprisingly nice to him. But after knowing the reason, fewer and fewer new disciples got close to him.

Maybe the magic of time will give a special charm to those who persist in their own ways.

He cleaned Bailing Mountain day after day, year after year, and everyone respected him.

The more he saw over the years, the clearer the inexplicable resentment in his heart became, and it faded with time.

The new disciple bowed to him and he just waved his hand. Everything seemed so dull and unreasonable.

"Old Deng, it would be nice if you were still here." During every annual testing conference, Old Li would sit upright at the mountain gate, buy a pot of old wine at the foot of the mountain, and occasionally sprinkle it on the peach tree in front of the mountain gate.

Old Deng had been out of the mountains for many years. The last time he saw him was when he was going down the mountain. He called out to himself to go down with him. He was already forty years old at that time. The inexplicable resistance and the inexplicable fear in his heart when he heard about going down the mountain made him wave his hand to refuse. Old Deng looked back at him with a smile and bowed to him. He should have saluted him, and was busy returning the salute, but Old Deng had already disappeared in the mountains, leaving behind some regrets.

He took another sip. The wine from the mountain was strong, and it felt like a burning fire when it went down his throat, burning away all the years of his heart.

"Buzz~" The pure golden light on the top of the mountain was like a vibrating ripple that dispersed the cloud barrier of Bailing Mountain, but was resisted by the barrier and instantly gathered the cloud. Then, like a stone falling into calm water, ripples of air rushed over and were about to knock Old Li to the ground. The peach blossom forest and the fallen leaves in the mountains were all swept away, rolling in the air with the air waves. The birds, beasts, insects and fish in the mountains were all in chaos, and the calls of all kinds of spirit beasts came one after another, just like a pasture in the human world.

Before one wave subsided another came. Old Chen stood still in horse stance, and with great difficulty cast a protective barrier. After finally standing still, the gusts of air seemed to come and go without a trace, leaving only the falling peach blossoms and the lingering chirping of birds.

He watched the golden light on the top of the mountain dissipate, and for a moment he was filled with emotion: "It has been several years since a Tianzi level was produced, and today I finally have one."

The top of the mountain was in chaos and noisy. It was not just noisy, but festive. Most people were panicked by the air wave. Several people opened a protective barrier to protect the ordinary people. However, they were inevitably affected. But when they recovered, everyone was cheering!

"Tian Zi Ji!" The loud bell-like voice pierced through the noisy crowd and echoed on the top of Bailing Mountain. For a moment, everyone became more excited.

They all looked at the girl in purple clothes on the stage. They didn't know her name for a moment, so they could only cheer "Tian Zijie! Tian Zijie!"

"This girl is so extraordinary! So cool!" Zhou Xingliang looked at Lin'er walking onto the stage and touched his chin. His eyes were fixed on Lin'er's purple dress: "This dress looks exactly like someone I once knew!"

"Of course the Tianzi level is not simple, little brother of the Tuzi level!" Li Rongrong continued to flip through the book that people today are shy about under Zhou Xingliang's protective barrier. Zhou Xingliang kept staring at the girl on the stage, frowning: "Oh my God! It can't be her!"

"Who?"

"Chen Lin'er!" "Who is that?" Li Rongrong put down the book for the first time and looked at Zhou Xingliang, who was a head taller than him: "Are you secretly thinking about another woman?"

"No, I saw her once in a while! Chen Lin'er! Her Royal Highness the Princess!" Zhou Xingliang whispered in Li Rongrong's ear. Just in case, he also looked around to see if there were other fellow disciples looking at him.

"When did you get to know the eldest princess? How come I didn't know?" Li Rongrong put her hands on her hips, and the sachet on her waist swayed inadvertently.

"Hey, when I met you, you were still crying in your father's arms. I didn't say that you were really the eldest princess, but I just felt that you looked very much like her. Maybe you really are a little princess!"

"Don't talk nonsense. Not many people have seen the eldest princess's appearance. Don't talk nonsense. Be careful or I'll cut your tongue. Even my father can't protect you!" Li Rongrong nudged Zhou Xingliang with her elbow and opened the book again in annoyance, causing the book to rustle.

Meanwhile, Luo Yiqing was blowing away the dust on his body, "Big Brother, this girl is amazing. She has golden stars all over her body. It's not an exaggeration to say that she is at the top of the Heavenly Rank! She is almost exactly like Big Brother!"

"Well, be more careful next time you meet her." Zhao Yunfei looked at the little girl. She walked down calmly, looking happily at the delegation's position from time to time. The young master of the Ning family gave her an affirmative look, but the young master of the Ning family still looked a little unhappy and only responded bitterly.

They know each other? No wonder, it's hard to say that someone who knows the young master of the Ning family is not powerful. Zhao Yunfei cast his eyes on another little boy who had already come on stage. His black hair had grown to his waist, but it was combed very neatly. The blue fur clothes looked very fitting, and even revealed a trace of blue spiritual power. Looking at the sword on his back, the scabbard and the blade were all blue, giving people a deep feeling. His face was full of confidence and pride.

"Why would such a powerful kid come to Bailing Mountain? Does he still need to practice?" What Luo Yiqing said was exactly what Zhao Yunfei was thinking at the moment. There were so many people with extremely high potential in this testing conference.

However, the three Tianbu disciples of the Tian level in Bailing Mountain did not seem to attend the test conference. Even the prime minister and the general manager canceled their attendance at the last minute. What is the mystery behind this?

Just as he was thinking about it, there was an uproar around him. Zhao Yunfei looked carefully and found that the fairy stone light gate that the young man communicated with was actually blue. The crowd was talking about it.

This kid looks so nonchalant, just as I expected!
Just stay at the Earth Level, little brat! You are so arrogant! You thought you were so powerful?
"No." Zhao Yunfei looked at the boy. Luo Yiqing asked in confusion what was wrong. Zhao Yunfei did not look at him, but kept staring at the boy: "He is the child of a human and a monster. He is half-monster!"

"Half-demon!" Luo Yiqing looked at the young man on the stage and found nothing special. The three short words "Earth Level" that many people had been waiting for for a long time did not reach his ears.

The young man shouted loudly, and a large amount of blue aura began to flow out of the hand that was touching the fairy stone. His originally round eyes began to become pointed and round, and his teeth under his wide-open mouth grew rapidly and became extremely sharp. His ears began to appear hairy and became more and more pointed.

The blue light on his body suddenly became fierce, gradually swirling around him, and the blue light gate suddenly turned into a sharp purple.

The whole audience looked at him in surprise, and the discussion began to die down. Everyone used objects to block the sharp purple light, and Chang Yufeng slowly walked away from his position and disappeared.

"Ah ha!" The young man on the stage shouted even louder, and the aura on his hands became more ferocious, like a blocked stream of water that was diverted and overflowed. The blue aura on his body gradually transformed into a beautiful woman. The woman seemed to be transformed by spiritual power. She was dressed in blue, and her white eyes burst out with blue light. She roared, and a pillar of blue demonic power burst out from behind the young man!

"Buzz~" On the stone pillar that communicates with the fairy stone, the light gate rotated rapidly, and the sharp purple light quickly turned into golden light. The majestic golden light was very different from Lin'er's golden light. This time, the rushing air wave only affected the stage and was not that fierce.

Monster! A half-monster!
"Heavenly level!"

Everyone was stunned! They had forgotten to encourage this young man with great potential. They watched the young man, who had returned to his original appearance, arrogantly walk off the stage. They were speechless and only started to applaud after a long while.

"Interesting, really interesting!" Zhao Yunfei laughed loudly. Luo Yiqing looked at him. Although he didn't know what the senior brother was laughing at, he also smiled.

As for Chang Yufeng, he really didn't care whether it was a demon or a half-demon, a heavenly level or an earthly level. He looked at the little kid in front of him who was laughing at him and blinking his big eyes as if to say "don't worry", he really couldn't laugh, tears were welling up in his stomach!
