C1 Profound Heaven Treasure Body
The Gallanmagne Mountains were located in the southwest part of Silkmore City. The mountains were high and towered into the clouds. It was a place that was rarely visited. The mountains were covered in snow all year round, and the cold wind blew fiercely. Only some Demonic Beasts could survive here.
There was a towering mountain in the middle of the mountain range that was extremely eye-catching. The mountain seemed to have been cut in half, turning into a wide and flat square. There were pavilions and towers on the top of the mountain, and the immortal aura was curling up. It was breathtaking.
This was the Cloud Traversing Sect, which was famous throughout the entire Ogremid. It was famous for its powerful sword cultivators, but after thousands of years, the Cloud Traversing Sect no longer had its former glory. As the spiritual energy in the world became thinner and thinner, the Cloud Traversing Sect no longer produced any powerful sword cultivators in the past thousand years. They could only abandon a large area of their territory and live in seclusion in this snow mountain.
On this day, all the elders of the Cloud Traversing Sect gathered in the center of the square of the Cloud Traversing Sect. The Sect Master Bai Chen stood in the crowd and announced happily, "This child is called Liu Yang. He is eight years old this year and is born in the Illusory Snow Mountain, thirty miles away from Swanspell. He has the Profound Heaven Treasure Body and is extremely talented. If he is properly cultivated, his future is limitless!"
As he spoke, everyone's eyes were filled with shock as they looked at the boy standing beside the Sect Master.
The boy was dressed in a small green jacket. His thin and thin body was perfectly straight, and his pitch-black eyes were extremely firm. Under the gazes of dozens of people, he did not seem to panic at all.
"He has a firm gaze, and he is fearless. He is indeed a good seedling! Sect Master, with such talent, if you nurture him well, he will be the hope for our Cloud Traversing Sect to rise again in the future!" An old man in a white robe praised loudly after looking at the boy.
"Elder Qin and I think the same. This child must be nurtured with all the resources of the sect. Our Cloud Traversing Sect cannot continue to be like this and let down the ancestors of the sect!" A middle-aged elder in a white robe agreed excitedly.
Before the two of them finished speaking, a black-robed old man said, "I think Elder Qin and Elder Sun are a little too optimistic. Our Cloud Traversing Sect's foundation is not as strong as it was in the past. If we want to nurture a Profound Heaven Treasure Body, I'm afraid we will have more than we need."
As soon as these words came out, countless people echoed.
"That's right. The resources for guarding the gate are scarce, and the cultivation resources needed for the Profound Heaven Treasure Body are huge. Moreover, it takes a long time to cultivate. Our Cloud Traversing Sect is indeed powerless!"
"Elder Lin is right. The Profound Heaven Treasure Body's growth is too long, and it will almost delay the cultivation of two generations of disciples of the sect. I think this matter should be discussed from the long term."
In the ancient times, those who possessed the Profound Heaven Treasure Body were all people who could turn the clouds and the rain, and they were all people who could devour the heavens and the earth. If this boy was able to cultivate well in the future, he would definitely stand at the top of the cultivation world. Then, the entire sect would soar with him, and the development and expansion of the sect would be imminent.
However, today, cultivation resources were scarce, and it was extremely difficult to support a Profound Heaven Treasure Body. If he failed to cultivate it, it would be a complete waste.
In the end, the Sect Master Bai Chen decided, "The Great Dao is difficult, and we should seek it out. The Profound Heaven Treasure Body is extremely rare, so I have decided to invest in it for three years first, and then we will decide based on the situation."
In front of the temptation of the Profound Heaven Treasure Body, the Cloud Traversing Sect decided to gamble once. If the cultivation of this boy named Liu Yang advanced by leaps and bounds in three years, then the Cloud Traversing Sect would continue to invest in him and turn him into a pillar of the sect. If his progress was not satisfactory for the sect after three years, then the sect would give up on him and let him be an ordinary disciple.
Just like that, Liu Yang stayed in the Cloud Traversing Sect and began to cultivate with the sect's hopes on his back!
...
The snow had just stopped falling, and the morning sunlight shone down. The ground was covered in silver, and the snowy mountains in the distance seemed to be piercing straight into the sky like a peerless sword.
At this moment, a small square at the waist of the mountain was filled with disciples in black. Their faces were filled with excitement and anticipation, and their eyes were all looking straight at the red-clothed man at the front.
"Today is the day of the monthly draw, and it's still the same as before. We will divide into eight groups, and each group will have a hundred people. Those who draw the red lot will be able to cultivate in the Celestial Deriving Cave for five days. Let's begin!" The red-clothed man at the front of the crowd checked the time and said to the disciples in black below.
Every month at the fifteenth of the month was the day when the lowest level disciples of the Cloud Traversing Sect looked forward to drawing lots. The disciples who drew the red lot would be able to cultivate in the Celestial Deriving Cave for five days. The spiritual energy in the cave was abundant, and it was like a fairyland. The speed of cultivation would also be much faster than outside, and the difference between inside and outside was like the difference between heaven and earth. It was an important benefit that the gatekeeper gave to the black-clothed disciples.
However, there were many outer sect disciples, and with limited resources, there were only eight spots every month. Therefore, whether or not they could be drawn was all dependent on luck.
As the elder who presided over the ceremony announced the start, these black-clothed disciples were divided into eight groups. Each of them walked to the front to draw the bamboo stick. Those who drew the red lot were naturally overjoyed, and those who didn't draw it all had faces full of dejection. They prayed that they would have good luck next month.
"I've got it! This is really a great opportunity. My cultivation has always been stuck at the Early Period of the Bright Lamp Stage. This time, I will definitely break through to the Middle Period when I go to the Celestial Deriving Cave!"
Everyone looked over when they heard the announcement. They saw that the fourth person in the seventh group who had stepped forward to draw the bamboo stick was lucky enough to draw the red lot.
"The red lot in the seventh group has been drawn. The rest of the people in this group can leave now!" The red-clothed man shouted.
Hearing that, the disciples of the seventh group all had disappointment on their faces. A short and skinny youth even complained, "This month has come in vain. It's really depressing. I haven't entered the Celestial Deriving Cave for almost two years. I really miss the rich spiritual energy there!"
"Don't be too full of yourself. I have never drawn the red lot before. I don't even know what the Celestial Deriving Cave is like!" A disciple from the same group beside him also came over and said.
Just as the two of them were exchanging bitter words, there was a sudden commotion in front of them.
"Look, it's the Bottomless Pit. He has been assigned to the eighth group. Don't let him win the last draw!"
"Right, with his abnormal physique, most of the Spiritual Qi in the cave will be absorbed by him. It's too much of a scam."
"Yeah, he cheated us for so many years in the Celestial Deriving Cave, and his cultivation is still stuck at the fluorescent stage. If I absorbed so much Spiritual Qi, I might have even reached the Stars Stage!"
As the crowd discussed, a slightly thin black-clothed youth slowly walked in front of the crowd. He had a delicate and pretty face, eyes like bright stars, and a straight spine like an unsheathed sword. His chiseled face contained a calmness that was not present in his peers. He ignored the mockery around him.
This youth called the Bottomless Pit was Liu Yang, who had the Profound Heaven Treasure Body. After being cultivated by the sect for three years, his cultivation was still stuck at the fluorescent stage and could not advance. He had no choice but to give up and was sent to be an ordinary disciple in the outer sect. It had been more than two years since then.
He calmly stretched out his palm and slowly took out a bamboo stick from the box. On it was a red dot.
"He won! Bottomless Pit has won the red draw!"
