Nonsense! Master is not my wife.

Looking at the Qinglong sword in his hand, a smile flashed in Yin You's eyes.

Although he lost five days, he gained a lot!

Because of the experience of "feeding" almost with his own hands these days, his tacit understanding with Qinglong Jian has reached a higher level. Although it has not yet reached the stage of "oneness of man and sword", it is not far away.

"The senior sisters clearly agreed to gather at Qingcang Plains, but I waited there for three days and didn't see a single senior sister. Instead, I was attacked by countless ferocious beasts..."

Bai Wei'er on the side was still mumbling, as if she wanted to know why no one was willing to listen to her. The more she spoke, the more aggrieved she felt, her whole face fell, and she looked pitiful.

"With the help of the spiritual weapon bestowed by Master, I was able to leave the Qingcang Plain. Then I wanted to go to Xueyue Mountain, but I don't know why I ended up in the Purple and Green Sword Bamboo Sea, and then I saw the strange phenomenon of surging sword energy."

"I thought it was Senior Sister Xue Qingyou who was practicing here, but I didn't expect it to be you, Junior Uncle," Bai Wei'er looked at Yin You with her slightly red eyes.

Yin You listened to her quietly, then in her dazed gaze, he stretched out his hands and stroked her smooth, delicate and exquisite face.

next moment.

"what!"

Bai Weier cried out in pain, but it was Yin You who pinched her face hard.

"You said you're not stupid."

Yin You pinched her soft face and whispered, "You are obviously a person with poor directions, but you chose to gather in an area as large as Qingcang Plain. Have you ever thought that you went to the wrong gathering place?"

"Woooooooo..."

Bai Weier struggled for a while before escaping from Yin You's clutches. She quickly stepped back and glared at Yin You with a red face: "Stupid uncle, you are the idiot!"

But then, her voice gradually became quieter: "Could it be that I really went the wrong way? Woo... No wonder I felt that the place was not the same as the image in the virtual world!"

Yin You looked at her with amusement: "There are still five days left, what are your plans, Junior Sister Bai?"

Bai Weier snorted and said as a matter of course: "Of course I'm following Junior Uncle. I finally met a fellow disciple, how can I act alone again?"

Yin You nodded: "Okay."

Bai Weier was curious and asked, "Where is Junior Master going?"

Yin You smiled and said, "Snow Moon Mountain."

"Oh, Mount Setsugetsu...ah?"

Bai Wei'er widened her eyes again: "It's only five days, can we still make it to Xueyue Mountain?"

"Actually," Yin You paused and let go of the Qinglong Sword, "I know a thing or two about the art of flying with a sword."

I saw the Qinglong Sword floating in the air, and instantly it suddenly expanded into a giant sword that could support two or three people standing on it.

Yin You took a step onto the sword, called Bai Weier to come up, and with a pinch of sword formula, the Qinglong Sword soared straight up and flew at a high speed towards the Xueyue Mountain.

Chapter 9 Gathering at Xueyue Mountain

In the center of the Snow Moon Secret Realm, there is a mountain that rises from the ground and reaches into the sky.

This is Snow and Moon Mountain.

As the word "snow" in its name suggests, the area within thousands of miles centered on Xueyue Mountain is covered with snow.

At this time, at the foot of Xueyue Mountain, dozens of disciples were standing or sitting. Some of them closed their eyes to rest, while others talked in low voices, and from time to time they glanced at the only stone stairs leading to the top of the mountain.

There are a total of 99,999 stone steps. Only the first 24 people who reach the top of the mountain can have the opportunity to ask the "Spirit of Snow and Moon".

The time has not come yet, as the stone stairs are still covered by a magic circle.

The disciples closest to the stone stairs were several seventh-level disciples, and Zhu Yingqiu was one of them.

She sat cross-legged on the snow, with her long and narrow sword on her knees, and closed her eyes to practice.

Over the past ten days, Zhu Yingqiu had fought with countless ferocious beasts to hone his swordsmanship. During this period, he killed countless ferocious beasts in the sixth and seventh realms. Even though he had already given them a simple cleansing, there was still a trace of bloody evil aura on his body.

Not far from her were Xue Qingyou, Qin Muyun and other seventh-level disciples.

Further on, there are other disciples in the sixth and fifth realms.

There are a total of thirty-eight disciples here, and if nothing unexpected happens, they will be the final contenders for this Snow Moon Questioning Realm.

……

noon.

The forbidden magic circle dissipated instantly.

Zhu Yingqiu and other disciples from the seventh realm were the first to go out and show their magical powers.

In just a few breaths, they had already climbed hundreds of steps, while the disciples in the fifth and sixth realms behind them were just getting started.

Among the several seventh-level disciples, Qin Muyun was far ahead.

This young woman who was asking for the truth through magic had a ponytail, a heroic face, a long sword on her back, and was dressed in white. She walked in a very elegant manner, and seemed not to be affected by the stone staircase magic formation at all.

You should know that this test is not as simple as just climbing the stone stairs. There are also extremely powerful forbidden magic arrays on the stone stairs, which constantly suppress the physique of the challengers. The higher you go, the more severe the suppression becomes. There may even be illusions and tests of inner demons. If you are not careful, you will end up seriously injured and eliminated.

Therefore, the challenger not only needs to have a strong physique, but also an unswerving belief in order to overcome difficulties and reach the top of the mountain.

Behind Qin Muyun was a woman in a black robe with grey hair and white eyes.

She is Xue Qingyou, a genius in swordsmanship with a natural sword heart.

He has always been as famous as Qin Muyun, and the two of them are regarded as the future masters of the sword in Xuelingxu.

Compared with Qin Muyun's unrestrained and free-spirited style, Xue Qingyou is almost "empty" and ethereal.

If one's eyes were not fixed on her, one would not even be able to sense her existence. However, this mysterious Taoist rhythm similar to "harmony between man and nature" is always present in her, showing her extremely high talent.

Further back, there is Zhu Yingqiu.

She is different from Qin Muyun's carefree and relaxed style, nor like Xue Qingyou's ethereal style, but she is as sharp as a sword out of its sheath.

Her steps were extremely simple, yet swift and quick, with a sense of the simplicity of the Tao.

These three people were the leaders in climbing to the top of the stone stairs this time. They had opened up a huge gap with other disciples. Even the other disciples in the seventh realm were far behind.

……

Three hours passed in the blink of an eye.

The fastest group of Qin Muyun and his two companions had already walked up the 50,000-stone steps and were heading towards the 60,000-stone steps.

At this time, the suppression of the stone staircase restriction formation was already quite heavy. Not only were the three people's bodies under tremendous pressure, but even their souls were oppressed.

The speed of Qin Muyun and the other two obviously slowed down a lot.

at this time.

There was a sound of swords ringing at the foot of the mountain.

It was Yin You and Bai Weier who arrived.

Yin You put away the Qinglong Sword, looked up at the disciples climbing the stone stairs, turned his head and smiled at Bai Weier, "Nephew Bai, are you going to climb the stone stairs?"

Bai Wei'er looked a little tired after a few days' journey, but now, as she looked at her fellow disciples climbing the stone stairs, her face lit up again:

"Now that we're here, we must challenge the stone stairs!"

After saying that, she stuck out her tongue again and said, "I definitely can't reach the top. Little Master, don't worry about me. Go climb the stone stairs!"

Bai Weier waved her fist vigorously and cheered Yin You up, "Come on, Junior Master! You must reach the top successfully!"

Yin You also understood that time was running out, so he nodded and smiled at her, "Okay, then I'll borrow Master Bai's good words."

After saying that, his figure flashed and he climbed up the stone stairs.

As soon as he stepped onto the stone stairs, Yin You felt a faint force pressing down on him.

It was obviously a forbidden magic circle on the stone stairs. Yin You felt it carefully and no longer cared about it. He began to climb with all his strength and soon climbed up hundreds of stone steps.

The higher he went, the heavier the pressure Yin You felt, and his speed inevitably slowed down.

By the time he reached the 8,000-step stone staircase, his climbing speed had dropped to only 20% to 30% of its initial speed.

Yin You knew that this was the limit of his physical strength, so he circulated his mental skills, and the five elements of spiritual energy filled his whole body. His speed instantly increased, even half as fast as when he first started climbing!

……

Seeking the truth at the peak.

A giant light curtain hung across the sky, most of which showed the scene of people climbing the stone stairs. Moreover, at the top of the light curtain, the position of the climbers was also displayed.

Among them, the last light spot is approaching dozens of light spots in front at a terrifying speed.

"what!!!"

"Master Yin has just been using pure physical strength to climb the stone stairs!?"

As one of the last two disciples to arrive at Xueyue Mountain, and with his special status, Yin You attracted the attention of many disciples from the very beginning.

Seeing that he had just started to circulate his spiritual energy, many disciples couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

Climbing the stone stairs with pure physical strength is not surprising. Many physical practitioners have done this in the past, but everyone knows this Uncle Yin well.

He started practicing at the age of ten, and just broke through the fifth realm a month ago. He has been practicing swordsmanship, magic and supernatural powers all this time. When did he develop such a pure physique that is comparable to that of a physical cultivator?

Wait, magic powers?

When some disciples thought of this, they suddenly trembled.

On the high platform, many elders, including the guarding elder, had been paying attention to Yin You's actions.

Seeing that he still had so much spiritual power, it was obvious that he would be able to catch up and become one of the top 24 disciples.

The guarding elder had a kind face and a gentle tone: "Yin You has always been very hardworking."

"Well, last time I secretly observed the fight between Yin You and Zhu Yingqiu, his physical fitness and combat reaction were very strong."

An elder beside him also spoke out with a smile.

"Yes, I also watched that battle. Even though Zhu Yingqiu suppressed his realm to the peak of the fourth realm, it took a lot of effort to defeat him."

Many elders expressed their opinions.

Yin You is the first and only male disciple of Xuelingxu. When Yin Ci first brought him into the sect, many elders strongly opposed it, believing that this violated the sect's ancestral laws. It was Ao Qingyue, the master of the sect, who suppressed the matter.

However, many elders were still secretly dissatisfied, and even the elders guarding the border had complaints about it.

You should know that although this elder who guards the territory is not among the people with the highest realm in Xuelingxu, his seniority is extremely high. In addition, he has been guarding the sect's secret realm for many years and has a high prestige in the sect.

Later, when she met Yin You, his delicate and graceful appearance softened her heart. In addition, Yin You was a sweet-mouthed and polite child, which won the hearts of many elders.

Many elders who were secretly dissatisfied also put aside their prejudices and truly began to like this child.

It can be said that Yin You is not only popular among many disciples, but also a lovely and friendly junior in the eyes of many elders.

This made Yin Ci, who was originally worried, feel relieved and instead became concerned about his disciple's growth. That's why he took care of this precious disciple personally and never left his side for more than ten years.

Chapter 10: Battle Fantasy

Dusk.

Yin You had already reached more than 48,000 stone steps, passing several disciples.

But he didn't know how many disciples were still climbing, nor did he know whether he was among the top 24 disciples.

After all, he had only just entered the fifth realm. Even though his meridians were naturally thicker and tougher than those of others, and he had been nurtured by his master with secret methods for more than ten years, his spiritual energy storage was several times more than that of people in the same realm.

But this time, he climbed more than 40,000 stone steps in one breath, using his magical powers and spells many times, and his spiritual energy was almost exhausted.

Moreover, Yin You knew that there would be an illusion test at the 50,000 stone steps, and in his current state he was not 100% sure he could pass it.

He sat down on the ground, practicing his mental skills, trying to recover his spiritual energy as quickly as possible.

The forbidden magic array of the stone stairs does not prevent them from absorbing spiritual energy, and the stone stairs trial does not require the climbers to reach the top in one breath. It mainly tests the climbers' character, will and spirit.

The other disciples did the same. When their spiritual energy was exhausted, they sat on the ground. After their spiritual energy was restored, they started climbing the mountain again. The same was true for Qin Muyun and the other two who were the leaders.

At this time, the positions of the three leading people at the top of the stone stairs also changed.
