Honghuang: My understanding is beyond heaven, I am the ancestor of the stars.

Chapter 55: Ninth Grade of Flower Blooming, the Foundation of Proving the Way

However, compared to Xihe, Changxi's determination was not as firm, and her cultivation was also weaker. Although their cultivation levels were almost the same when they transformed, after the sermon, Changxi fell behind Xihe by a whole small realm, and she is only in the late Daluo stage now.

So naturally I fell behind.

After all, this is Mount Buzhou, and you have to bear pressure all the time. If you don’t have enough cultivation and determination, it will be difficult to move forward.

Xihe couldn't do anything about this.

Even if she wanted to help, she was powerless.

And if she insisted on doing so, the end result would be that she would not be able to enter Taixuan Palace!

Changxi knew this very well, so no matter how uncomfortable she felt, she would not want to be a burden to her sister, but would climb alone silently.

Because even if you can't enter the mountain gate, it would be good to go up as much as possible and see a few more stone tablets.

That is also a rare opportunity!

In this situation, time passed quietly.

One thousand years, two thousand years, three thousand years...

It was not until nearly ten thousand years later that Yabuhe finally touched the last stone tablet.

And at the moment she felt the stone tablet, she felt that her soul, body, and blood seemed to have been sublimated.

More importantly, she also realized a method of cultivation from the stone tablet.

Different from the quasi-saintly method of beheading corpses!

But what shocked her even more was the transformation in his spirit!
"Recast the foundation of Taoism, and the flower will bloom to the ninth level!"

"What kind of magical power is this to be able to do this?"

"Nine is the number of the extreme, and it means perfection in the prehistoric world. In other words... after ten thousand years of climbing, have I laid the foundation for enlightenment?"

At this moment, Xihe was shocked.

She originally thought that climbing the stone steps and comprehending the stone tablets along the way would be a great opportunity. If she could become Taihao's disciple, it would be an even greater opportunity.

Unexpectedly, there was actually good fortune waiting for her!
It made her spirit, energy and spirit, which were originally only at the eighth level, suddenly have an extra level! From then on, she laid the foundation for the path of enlightenment!
This means that from now on, she has the potential to break through to Hunyuan! It took Xihe a long time to recover from the shock brought by the three flowers' breakthrough, and then she had time to comprehend the quasi-saint method she had just obtained.

Without even realizing it, Xihe was greatly shocked after just a slight feeling.

"This is not only a method for becoming a quasi-saint, but also a method for attaining enlightenment!"

"I have been accepted as a disciple by Senior Taihao?"

Xihe was in a state of unrest, and her pretty face couldn't help but turn slightly red with excitement.

"As I guessed, these more than 120,000 stone steps are the entrance test!"

"So, I'm a beginner?"

Just as she was thinking this, an extremely mysterious Taoist voice sounded from Taixuan Palace.

"Foolish child, you have not yet entered the Taixuan Palace, let alone learned the Freedom Method, how can you say that you have entered the door?"

Hearing this voice, Xihe's body trembled, and she quickly bowed and shouted, "Disciple, I pay my respects to the Master!"

After saying that, she looked back.

At this time, Changxi had already been left far behind, and it was unknown how far behind she was. Xihe had no good solution for this and could only pray silently for her sister.

Then she no longer hesitated and hurriedly stepped into Taixuan Palace.

As soon as she entered, she felt the difference from Zixiao Palace.

Although Zixiao Palace is also a place of practice for saints, it emphasizes the majesty of heaven and makes people feel awe.

Taixuan Palace is different. Although there is pressure, it is much smaller than the Buzhou Mountain that we climbed all the way up. It is obviously weakened intentionally.

What’s more important is that the Taixuan Palace is full of Taoist charm and spiritual energy that is so abundant that it seems as if it is real. It seems that if you just find a place to sit cross-legged, you can get a good sense of it.

This made Xihe sigh again.

"Master is worthy of being called Master. The mysticalness of the Taoist temple is so great that even a saint would be inferior to him!"

However, when Xihe followed the guidance of the qi and walked to the place that seemed to be the preaching hall, he found that it was not empty.

On the contrary, there were many monks sitting there.

Among them are relatively familiar ones, such as Nuwa and Hou Tu.

There was also a strange female cultivator who had never been seen before, but who had an extremely powerful aura and was sitting at the first seat.

Also, there are other ancestor witches who I only met once.

In addition, there was another cultivator who made Xihe particularly surprised.

"Changxi?!" Xihe exclaimed with confusion.

"Sister!" Changxi also stood up with a happy face.

"Changxi, you are not... I mean, you are obviously after me, how can you be better than me..."

Surprised, Xihe was a little incoherent.

Fortunately, Changxi understood Yihe and knew that her sister did not mean to look down on her, so she explained.

"It was Sister Huo Ling'er who brought me up here, about nine thousand years ago? You don't know, Sister Huo Ling'er is amazing! The stone steps are like nothing to her! She even brought me along! By the way, sister, is it difficult to climb to the back of the stone steps?"

Changxi blinked, not realizing that there was anything wrong with what she said.

Xihe took a deep breath and resisted the urge to teach Changxi a lesson, even though she was so worried.

As a result, all her worrying for more than nine thousand years was in vain.

That's fine, but now I have to be provoked by Changxi.

But Changxi didn't notice it at all, and even blinked to act cute.

After calming down, Xihe hurriedly thanked Huo Ling'er. She knew without guessing that Huo Ling'er must be the eldest disciple, otherwise her strength would not be so unfathomable, and she would not be the first seat. At this moment, a mighty aura descended, and with it, there appeared its infinitely majestic figure.

This figure was none other than Taihao!

Taihao glanced at Xihe, nodded with satisfaction, and then spoke.

"From now on, you will be my second disciple under Taihao!"

However, as soon as Taihao finished speaking and Xihe hadn't spoken yet, Nuwa spoke first.

"Eh?"

At this moment, Nuwa's face was dull.

She felt something was wrong.

The second disciple?
"what about me?"

Nuwa reacted immediately and at an incredibly fast speed.

Because according to Taihao, if Xihe was the second disciple, then wouldn’t she be the third disciple?

How come a good senior sister became a junior sister?
And she’s a junior sister!
Nuwa refused to accept and she wanted to fight back.

So she quickly expressed her doubts.

"Master, I don't accept it. I entered the sect so early, why can't I be a senior sister?" Nuwa asked with a puffy face.

Even after so many years, Nuwa has not grown up and is still a little girl.

Including personality, too?
Of course Taihao couldn't say that this was why he put her at the back, but he reminded her earnestly.

"Silly disciple, have you forgotten that you are still registered!"

Named?
Why does it sound like it was picked up?
Nuwa frowned, looking a little depressed.

But Taihao's subsequent words made her happy again.

"You did a great job on this trip to Zixiao Palace. Your master is very pleased. Just tell me what reward you want. As long as your master can give it, I will do my best to satisfy you!"

"Really!"

Nuwa's eyes lit up, and all the depression in her heart disappeared, with happiness clearly shown on her face.

If Taihao told her that he could give her a treasure, she would probably be grinning foolishly now.

Seeing this scene, Taihao felt more and more that he had done the right thing.

Nuwa really can’t be a senior sister.

After all, compared with the dignified and steady Xihe, she is just a little girl!
Maybe it’s because he has never experienced setbacks, so he still has a childlike innocence?
In comparison, both Huo Linger and Xihe have experienced more.

There is no need to mention Xihe. She has not had many opportunities since she transformed, and her talent is also inferior to that of Nuwa. In Zixiao Palace, she is even more blessed by the Three Pure Ones, and her Taoism is almost unbalanced.

After all, others can easily behead a corpse and even take another step on the road to becoming a quasi-saint.

But she didn't even reach the threshold of quasi-sainthood.

It is precisely because of this that her determination is so firm.

Although Huo Linger did not encounter any setbacks after her transformation, she spent every year in fear before she became Taihao's disciple.

Once you have instincts, you worry that they will be erased. Once you have consciousness, you worry that it will be erased.

It can be said that there is not a single moment of peace.

Nuwa was undoubtedly in a much better situation. From the time she gained consciousness until now, the only danger she had ever encountered was that she was almost eaten by a little Taotie.

Apart from that, there were no other setbacks.

At the same time, it was because Xiao Zantie left a profound impression on her that she became this image when she transformed.

"Does she think that the appearance of a little girl is a symbol of terror and deterrence?"

Taihao suddenly realized it, and the more he thought about it, the more likely it seemed.

At this moment, Nuwa spoke with hope on her face.

"Master, I want one... treasure. If that doesn't work... a top-grade innate spiritual treasure, a few more will do. I don't mind!"

Nuwa's embarrassed expression was totally inconsistent with what she said.

Taihao was both angry and amused.

But some things were already decided to be given to her, so Taihao did not keep her in suspense and directly took out a small tripod with flowing laws.

"This is the Qiankun Ding, an innate treasure! It is similar to the Shanhe Shejitu, but it cannot be said to be a world of its own. It should be said to be a heaven and earth of its own! It can accommodate all things, and can even reverse the acquired into the innate! Now I give it to you, I hope you will use it well!"

"Thank you, Master!"

Nuwa could not wait to take the Qiankun Ding, then shrunk it and held it in her shriveled arms, rubbing her cheek against it and grinning foolishly.

"Hey, hey, I have an innate treasure!"

Taihao shook his head helplessly and looked at Huo Linger.

"This is the Chaos Immortal Gourd. It was originally an opportunity for you. It was formed by the fusion of seven mature gourds on the innate gourd vine. It has the ability to devour, smelt and decompose everything. It is also an innate treasure! Now, I will return it to you!"

"Thank you Master!"

Compared to Nuwa, Huo Linger is undoubtedly much calmer.

However, there was also joy in her eyes, but it was not known whether it was because she had obtained a treasure or because the treasure was made by Taihao himself.

Then, Taihao turned his gaze to Xihe.

But before he could say anything, Xihe spoke first.

"Xihe has only been a disciple for a short time, so she doesn't dare to obtain spiritual treasures or even supreme treasures like her senior sisters and junior sisters. As long as she can listen to the teachings and comprehend under the master's seat, Xihe will be satisfied!"
