Wherever it went, the clouds and mist would disperse, as though they were performing the etiquette of a king and his subjects.
The flying speed of the magic cloud was very fast, but it gave Xiao Han a feeling of stability, as though he was not worried about falling.
After a while, the magic cloud began to descend.
Xiao Han looked down and could not help but swallow a mouthful of saliva. His eyes widened.
The inner mountain peaks of the Cloud Rain Mountain Range rose from the ground and pierced through the clouds. The majestic aura was indescribable.
Ethereal Immortal Qi was enshrouding the area. Indistinctly, celestial music could be heard.
Some of the mountain peaks were magnificent; some of the mountain peaks were full of vitality and were filled with flowers and fruits; some of the mountain peaks had hundreds and thousands of waterfalls pouring down from the peak, as though countless jade dragons …
There were thousand-year-old trees and ten-thousand-year-old flowers. There were also countless golden eagles, giant rocs, red-crowned cranes, and many other birds circling in the blue sky, chirping.
Xiao Han even saw some sky cities that completely defied the laws of nature. They floated in mid-air and were shrouded in layers of clouds.
The entire area exuded a primordial aura.
In addition, a layer of faint glazed light screen enveloped the entire area. It was rather mysterious.
To enter the inner mountain peaks, one had to pass through the glazed light screen.
"Young man, I will choose a mountain peak for outer sect disciples to cultivate on and let you participate in the assessment." The middle-aged man smiled. He rode the magic cloud and was about to pass through the glazed light screen.
"This is our Cloud Rain Sect's' Mountain-Guarding Immortal Screen '. It blocks all demonic Qi. No demons can enter in disguise," the middle-aged man said with a faint smile.
"Whoosh ~"
The magic cloud carried the middle-aged man and Xiao Han through the glazed light screen.
Shockingly!
"Hum ~" The strange thing that was hibernating in Xiao Han's heart trembled slightly. Then, it condensed into a speck of dust, as though it was treading on thin ice.
"Hmm?" Just as Xiao Han was surprised, the magic cloud had already passed through the glazed light screen.
"Eh?
What's going on?
The strange thing in my heart seems to be wary of this so-called 'Mountain-Guarding Immortal Screen'. "Xiao Han was a little puzzled.
"Let's go." The middle-aged man didn't notice anything. With a wave of his sleeve, he took Xiao Han with him and flew up into the sky. With Xiao Han in tow, they arrived at a mountain peak.
The cloud turned into streams of light and was absorbed into the middle-aged man's body.
As soon as Xiao Han's feet touched the ground, he looked up and found that the middle-aged man had brought him to a plaza at the top of a mountain.
The square was dozens of acres in size, and it was paved with white jade.
"Ah ~ ~ This true disciple has arrived. Apologies for not coming out to greet you, apologies for not coming out to greet you …" Immediately, a few old men came out from the middle of the square and greeted the middle-aged man.
Xiao Han looked at the old men. There were three of them in total, and all of them had white hair and a ruddy complexion. Their auras were mighty and majestic, and as they walked, they were like dragons and tigers. Clearly, they had tempered their bodies to the extreme.
"The physical strength of these old men is much stronger than mine," Xiao Han thought to himself.
However, even so, the three old men were still very respectful in front of the middle-aged man. It was as if they were afraid that they would offend the middle-aged man if they made a mistake.
At the edge of the square, there were also groups of three to five young men and women. All of them had dignified and proud appearances, and their physical bodies were strong.
"This outer sect mountain is managed by you guys, right?
I'm here for nothing. I just brought a young man to participate in the outer sect disciple examination, "the middle-aged man said casually.
"Ah?
You personally brought someone to participate in the examination? "The three old men were shocked, and then they carefully looked at Xiao Han.
With one look, they secretly frowned.
Xiao Han's clothes were shabby, and there were a few patches on his pants. He was dressed like a nobody.
He was standing together with a big shot in the true qi realm. It was really a little out of place.
One of the old men couldn't help but ask in a low voice.
"This true disciple, is this young man yours?"
"Oh … It has nothing to do with me.
He's a live target. Coincidentally, he had a fortuitous encounter and consumed a Red Radish Immortal Fruit. It cleansed his body and completed the bone explosion. "
The middle-aged man didn't say much. "With the strength of his physical body, it should be more than enough to be an outer sect disciple.
Alright, everything will be done according to the rules. You guys have the final say … "
With that, the middle-aged man didn't stay any longer. He transformed into a stream of light and flew away.
He was really elusive.
"Farewell, true disciple!"
The three old men hurriedly bowed.
Then, they all raised their heads and stared at Xiao Han.
And the many young men and women at the edge of the square also started whispering to each other …
"It can't be?
A live target, a servant, actually wants to be an outer sect disciple?
This is against the rules. "
"Yeah, I've never heard of a live target being promoted to the outer sect.
This is the first time this has ever happened. "
"Isn't a live target something that's born to be beaten?
And he wants to be an outer sect disciple and cultivate the Martial Dao?
Isn't this too absurd? "
… …
Many young men and women directly expressed their disdain.
However, there were also people who laughed. "Didn't all of you hear what that true disciple said earlier? This live target accidentally consumed a Red Radish Immortal Fruit and completed the bone explosion.
Thus, he obtained the qualification to take the test to become an outer sect disciple. "
"What a pity, truly a pity. A treasure of heaven and earth like the Red Radish Immortal Fruit was actually obtained by a lowly person.
Just thinking about it makes me feel hateful. "
Xiao Han remained silent when he heard the criticism that came from all directions. He only stuck out his tongue and licked the corner of his mouth.
At this moment, an old man spoke to Xiao Han, "Live target?"
Xiao Han nodded.
The three old men looked at each other and exchanged glances.
One of the old men asked cautiously, "You really don't have any relationship with that true disciple?"
"Alright, Situ. How can a live target have any relationship with a true disciple?
Didn't that true disciple say it clearly just now? This live target was lucky and obtained a Red Radish Immortal Fruit and tempered his bone innards? This is his good fortune.
However, it's indeed a bit of a waste. "Another old man waved his hand at Xiao Han.
"The three of us are the managers of this outer sect mountain. We will now carry out the test for you.
Everything will be done according to the rules. If you can pass the test, then there's no harm in giving you a spot as an outer sect disciple. If you can't pass the test, then quickly leave this place.
You can go back and start as an inner sect disciple before advancing step by step. "
"Alright." Xiao Han nodded.
Then, the three managers brought Xiao Han to the center of the square.
In the center of the square, there was a row of large bronze cauldrons.
More and more young men and women stopped at the edge of the square to watch.
Xiao Han looked at the row of large bronze cauldrons and saw that there was a number on each cauldron. For example, '1', '5', '10' … and so on.
"This is the large cauldron used to test strength." One of the managers introduced to Xiao Han.
"To become an outer sect disciple, you need to reach the most basic condition of 100 bone explosions.
If you reach 100 bone explosions, you will have the strength of 3 cauldrons in an instant.
That is 3000 jin of strength.
Young man, how many bone explosions do you have? "
"Uh …" Xiao Han hesitated for a moment.
He thought that if he were to tell the truth, then 200 bone explosions would be too shocking.
After all, Xiao Han knew that no one in this generation of Cloud Rain Sect could reach 200 bone explosions.
Why should he be in the limelight?
Making a fortune silently was the way of the king.
Seeing Xiao Han stuttering, some of the young men and women who were watching the show let out mocking laughter.
"I knew it. A live target, a lowly small fry. Even if he had a fortuitous encounter, what can he do?
A stone in a sh * t pit will forever be a stone. It will never become a beautiful jade.
I wonder if he has reached the basic condition of 100 bone explosions.
I think it's enough. "
"Hmm?" The three managers looked at Xiao Han in dissatisfaction.
Xiao Han hurriedly said.
"I just happened to reach 100 bone explosions."
"Then go and try to move that cauldron.
Remember, lift that cauldron above your head with both hands and maintain it for ten breaths of time to pass. "One of the managers pointed at the cauldron with the number '3' and said to Xiao Han.
"Alright." Xiao Han rolled up his sleeves and rushed to the front of the cauldron.
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Xiao Han circulated his strength in his arms. The strength in his body surged and his tendons, bones, and skin opened up.
He let out a low roar and hugged the cauldron with both hands. The cauldron rose in response!
"Ah!!!!" Xiao Han pretended to roar in a low voice and put on a hysterical look. It was extremely strenuous.
However, he felt that this cauldron was not very heavy. If he used his full strength, it would not be a problem to lift two cauldrons of this weight …
"Roar!"
Xiao Han lifted the cauldron above his head with both hands. His legs were trembling as if he could collapse at any time.
Ten breaths later …
"Alright, that's enough." One of the managers said.
"Phew ~ ~ ~ ~" Xiao Han put down the cauldron and pretended to pant heavily.
"Just passed." The three managers nodded their heads.
"Look, even if I consumed the Red Radish Immortal Fruit, I only reached the most basic requirement. If I consumed the Red Radish Immortal Fruit, I would have at least 200 bone explosions." A young man looked at Xiao Han with hatred.
"It's a pity about that Red Radish Immortal Fruit. Sigh, sigh …" He repeatedly sighed.
One of the managers took out a thick book and a brush from his bosom and said to Xiao Han.
"Now, I will help you register. What is your name, how old are you, what is your family background in the secular world. Tell me everything and I will record it."
"Oh … my name is Xiao Han, 15 years old. I don't have any background. I have only been a live target for a few years." Xiao Han licked his lips and said.
Thus, in that booklet, Xiao Han's information was recorded …
"Outer Sect Disciple:
Xiao Han
15 years old
100 bone explosions.
3 cauldrons of strength
