Killing God - Chapter 19

Chapter 19 Stone Staircase
The gigantic Celestial Worshipping Rock grew larger and larger in his line of sight. The two of them finally arrived in front of the giant rock. Only then did Shen Shi discover that there was a stone stairway on the other side of the giant rock that was about five people in parallel. It led directly to the top of the giant rock.

Two Ling Xiao Sect disciples dressed in green stood below the stone steps, their expressions solemn. Although they did not seem to have the slightest bit of anger or might, as long as they looked at them from afar, they would feel a faint sense of oppression.

Butcher, who was walking beside Shen Shi, narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at the two disciples of Lingxiao Sect Sect.

These two Lingxiao Sect disciples who were guarding the Immortal Worshipping Rock had extraordinary bearing, but it was obvious that they were not just standing there putting on airs. All the people gathered here from all directions had already exceeded a hundred people under the Immortal Worshipping Rock at this moment, and there were still people who continued to rush over from behind. However, all of them were directly stopped by the two Lingxiao Sect disciples below the stone steps.

Shen Shi saw it clearly. The people who were stopped did not show any anger. Most of them greeted them politely, and some even revealed flattering smiles. As for the two Lingxiao Sect disciples, they paid little attention and did not change their expressions. Soon, boys and girls walked out of the crowd, each holding a half-palm sized Profound Jade Talisman Token in their hands. They walked over to the two Lingxiao Sect disciples.

The two Ling Xiao Sect disciples took it one by one. It was unknown what secret technique they had used. Every time they picked up a Mysterious Jade Talisman Token, a wisp of white smoke appeared on it. It was as if there were words and images inside. After seeing a Talisman Token and confirming their identity, they let a youth pass.

As for some of the followers that followed these youths, there were a dozen or so of them. In the end, it seemed that they could only be sent to the Immortal Worshipping Rock. Apart from the young boys and girls, no one else could ascend to the Immortal Worshipping Rock.

It was at this moment that the butcher, who had arrived at the periphery of the crowd, pulled Shen Shi. He reached out and took out a Profound Jade Talisman token that was exactly the same as the hands of those youths. He gave it to Shen Shi in a precious and heavy manner and said, “Little Shi, this is the ‘Cloud Talisman’ token given by Lingxiao Sect, and it is also the only proof for you to join the sect. I will leave it to you now.” There will be a farewell to sending Jun Qianli away. Uncle, I can only send you here. ”

Shen Shi silently took over the Profound Jade Talisman Tablet called “Cloud Talisman”. The tentacles felt warm and smooth, With his eyesight that he had trained for many years on the Heavenly First Floor, It was almost immediately determined that this cloud talisman was most likely made from a grade two spirit ore jade called “Black Soul Jade”. Not to mention that there were also some restrictions on it, just the black soul jade itself should have been worth around ten spirit crystals on the Heavenly First Floor in Xilu City, Yin Province.

At this moment, the High Firmament Sect was merely using it as a token for these new disciples.

Sure enough, he was worthy of being the top cultivation family in the world. This kind of courage and wealth was truly astonishing.

After taking a deep breath, Shen Shi tightened his grip on the cloud talisman in his hand. He raised his head to look at the butcher and said softly, “Uncle, thank you very much.”

The butcher smiled and didn’t say anything else. He just waved his hand and signaled for him to hurry over.

Shen Shi turned around and walked towards the stone steps step by step.

At this moment, the surrounding area below the stone steps was already filled with people. Most of them were relatives and attendants who came to send their children off. There were also quite a few young men and women holding their own cloud talismans. Their faces were filled with excitement, excitement, and even panting nervousness as they walked towards the stone steps.

Looking up from the ground, this stone staircase rose to the top of the towering boulder. Its imposing aura was magnificent. In the eyes of many people, this might really be a path to the heavens, the path of immortal fate.

Shen Shi clenched the Cloud Talisman tightly and walked through the crowd. Someone by chance looked over and saw that the Cloud Talisman in his hand would automatically make way. At the same time, there were complicated and different expressions in his eyes. Some were filled with envy, some with vigilance, some with pure curiosity and inquiry.

Finally, he approached the stone staircase. At this point, there were very few adults and attendants who followed him to see him off. The young boys and girls who walked out of the crowd consciously lined up in two lines and walked forward one by one to receive the examination of the two Lingxiao Sect disciples. Apart from that, there were also a small number of adults who seemed to be worried. They pulled their children to the side and warned themselves of something.

It was a long journey. Immortals and mortals were separated from each other. It could not be said that they would see each other forever, but they would still be separated for a long time. Those adults were fine, so they only reminded them carefully. Some of the youths who were pulled away, especially one or two twelve-or thirteen-year-old girls, their eyes were already red.

Shen Shi casually glanced over and thought of his father in his heart. However, his temperament had been calm and self-control since he was young, and he did not lose his composure. However, when his gaze swept past somewhere, Shen Shi was suddenly stunned.

In a corner not far away, a father with a face full of flesh seemed to be pulling a twelve-year-old son to speak. After giving a few final instructions, he pushed his son with a hopeful expression, signaling that he could go up the mountain.

Afterwards, he saw Shen Shi, who was standing in the queue with an incredulous expression on his face.

The vendor in the Southern Heaven Gate of Liuyun City was stunned for a moment. He seemed to not dare to believe his eyes. He stared at Shen Shi and looked at him carefully. Only then did he confirm it. Instantly, anger arose on his face. He moved as if he was about to rush over and beat this stinking brat who dared to plot against your Lord Marquis to half-death.

Shen Shi was shocked, and his heart was filled with bitterness. He never thought that this matter would be so coincidental. He actually met this person on the Immortal Worshipping Rock. Isn’t this too unlucky?

Just as they were in a hurry, the two Lingxiao Sect disciples standing at the foot of the stone steps seemed to have sensed something. Suddenly, they snorted coldly. Their voices weren’t loud, but they heard a thunderous rumble in the ears of everyone nearby.

The old duke was the first to bear the brunt. His ears were filled with chaos. He couldn’t help but take a step back. He was immediately filled with fear. How could he dare to make a mistake? He hurriedly nodded and bowed to the two Lingxiao Sect disciples before retreating.

Seeing this scene, Shen Shi heaved a sigh of relief in his heart. He thought to himself that it was too dangerous. If this rough guy really caught him and attacked him, wouldn’t he lose face in front of his fellow disciples and even the onlookers? Even if he worshipped Lingxiao Sect, it wouldn’t be easy for him to raise his head and behave himself.

However, he suddenly saw that although the old duke had retreated, he pulled his son, who looked quite similar to him, and whispered something. He would occasionally raise his head to look at him. After he said a few words, his son, who was holding the Cloud Talisman in his hand, revealed a look of resentment and disgust as he stared at him from afar.

Shen Shi rolled his eyes and turned his head. He smiled bitterly in his heart, thinking that he had not even entered Lingxiao Sect yet. It seemed that he had made an enemy in his sect first …

④

The group of youths continued to move forward calmly and quietly. From the beginning until now, all those who carried cloud talismans on the Immortal Worshipping Rock had successfully passed the examination of the two Lingxiao Sect disciples. Then, they followed the stone steps and walked step by step towards the top of the boulder.

Shen Shi stood in the queue and looked to the left and right. He saw that the young men and girls around him were about twelve or thirteen years old. Occasionally, he saw one or two young men who were obviously taller than the young men around him. Their faces were also filled with childishness. Apart from being taller and taller, there wasn’t much difference in age.

Generally speaking, Ever since the humans in the Primordial Chaos Realms started cultivating Dao Laws, After tens of thousands of years of development, So far, it has formed a complete system recognized by everyone, there is a general well-known recognition that, The human race’s physique was indeed far inferior to that of the other races. Although the creation of spirit crystals could allow the race to absorb spiritual energy from heaven and earth and cultivate, the bodies of ordinary children were still unable to withstand it. They had to wait until they were at least twelve years old before they could start cultivating the most basic cultivation methods and try to absorb spiritual energy from spirit crystals into their bodies.

Right now, the surroundings were almost filled with teenagers of the same age. Clearly, the reason why the High Firmament Sect had accepted disciples was precisely because of this.

He was thinking in his heart, This line had already walked quite a bit. Unknowingly, Shen Shi had already arrived before the stone steps. When a girl standing in front of him handed over the Cloud Talisman and passed it smoothly after a while, he happily stepped onto the stone steps. Shen Shi took a step forward and faced the Lingxiao Sect disciple standing on the right side of the stone steps.

This was a young man in his early twenties. He had a straight face and a gentle expression. However, when he approached this person, the pressure he had felt before suddenly increased by a lot. It made Shen Shi feel as if he was having difficulty breathing.

However, after that man glanced at Shen Shi, he seemed to feel something. He smiled slightly and the inexplicable pressure suddenly relaxed. Shen Shi immediately felt much more refreshed. At this moment, he naturally understood the reason behind this. He hurriedly smiled at this disciple of the Soaring Firmament Sect and said in a low voice, “Thank you very much.”

As he spoke, he handed over the cloud talisman in his hand.

The Lingxiao Sect disciple took the Cloud Talisman and casually asked, “What’s your name?”

Shen Shi respectfully said, “Shen Shi.”

The Lingxiao Sect disciple nodded slightly. It seemed that he was just doing his routine. He exerted a little strength in his hand, but he didn’t know how to move. Shen Shi’s cloud talisman immediately turned into a cloud of white smoke. A head image and two words flashed across it. It looked like it was Shen Shi’s appearance and his name.

This was the first time Shen Shi had seen such a strange phenomenon of a magical artifact at close range. For a moment, he was extremely curious. He stared at it endlessly. At the same time, he thought to himself, when had his name and head been inserted into the Cloud Talisman, and who did it?

The Lingxiao Sect disciple swept his gaze over the portrait and glanced at Shen Shi’s appearance. After confirming it, he nodded and said, “Not bad, you can go over.”

After he finished speaking, he casually shook his arm a few times, and the white cloud instantly dissipated with the wind, transforming back into the gentle and smooth cloud talisman profound jade, and handed it back to Shen Shi.

Shen Shi respectfully took it. He didn’t forget to thank him first. Then, he walked past this disciple of the Soaring Firmament Sect, lifted his foot, and stepped onto the first floor of this Heavenly Ascension Staircase.

After climbing more than a dozen stone steps and looking back, the crowd below the stone steps had become much smaller. Looking into the distance, the sea breeze blew over, clothes fluttering about. The sound of waves could be heard. The sea and sky were high, and the future immortal dao was boundless, as if it was already beneath his feet.

“Hey, what’s your name?”

Suddenly, a voice that did not seem too friendly suddenly sounded from behind. Shen Shi was stunned for a moment. He turned around and saw a youth with a face similar to that of the old duke at the foot of the mountain standing behind him angrily, staring at him and asking with hostility.
