The Great Wild God - Chapter 70

Chapter 70 Dragon Binding Mountain
Azure Water City was extremely vast, and the black city walls stretched out like giant black dragons, surrounding the shallow valley basin at the west entrance of the Azure Water Gorge.

There were mountains and rivers in the city, and the Azure Water School was built on the Dragon Binding Mountain in the north city.

The Dragon Binding Mountain wasn’t very tall. It was about a thousand meters tall, but it gave off an indescribable feeling of majesty and uprightness. It was also the tallest mountain in Azure Water City, accounting for almost one fifth of its area.

Raising his head, he saw that the clouds gathered at the mountainside and did not disperse all year round, covering the buildings at the top of the mountain, so that mortals in the city would not be able to see them-Chen Xun and the others had just arrived at Azure Water City, and they could not see the figure of Dragon Binding Mountain from the ridge in the distance.

Along the way, Chen Xun vigilantly observed the backward Su Ling and the hook-nosed deacon, but when he arrived at the foot of Dragon Binding Mountain, his mind immediately shocked the Dragon Binding Mountain in front of him.

Although the Dragon Binding Mountain was only a thousand meters tall, it could not be considered a famous mountain in the Western Desolate Domain of the Azure Vast Expanse. However, the entire body of the Dragon Binding Mountain was covered in bluestones. At this moment, the Su Clan had been completely transformed into a gigantic altar that pierced through the clouds. It truly shook people’s hearts.

The Dragon Binding Mountain was sliced into a gigantic circular vertebra, and then the mountain was chiseled into a staircase.

Chen Xun raised his head and saw that the first step of the bluestone steps was like an azure dragon circling around, stretching up layer upon layer.

Although it was only a thousand meters tall, the bluestone stairs continued to extend into the clouds, giving people an infinite depth of seclusion.

Su Tang secretly said that the Dragon Binding Technique that he passed on should be named after this mountain. Perhaps this mountain is named after the Dragon Binding Technique …

The plaza at the foot of the mountain was several kilometers deep, and the east and west were incomparably vast. Even if there were two to three hundred thousand people gathered, they would not feel crowded.

The ground was paved with light gray diamond rock, and countless magnificent pillars were erected. The white stone pillars were carved with strands of moire beast shapes, making them exceptionally exquisite.

Apart from the newly promoted disciples of the Su Wu Lieutenant’s Manor, the other newly promoted disciples of the Three Commandments and Five Lieutenants’ Manor had also gathered at the foot of the mountain. There were nearly a thousand of them, but they only occupied a corner of the square.

Azure robes, brown belt, and over a thousand newly promoted disciples stood on the plaza beneath the Dragon Binding Mountain. Just looking at them made them look extraordinary.

The Azure Water College’s triennial introductory ceremony was also a rare event in the city. The square at the foot of the mountain had long been crowded with people, surrounding the periphery, commenting on the disciples of the College who were about to enter the sect.

Seeing Zuoqiu, Zong Ya, and the others waving their hands in the crowd, Chen Xun felt at ease. No matter how difficult the road was in the future, there was nothing to be afraid of.

Very quickly, several crane roars came from the depths of the clouds. The sound was long and distant, and then a profound bell rang on the summit of the mountain, as if the crane roars were in harmony.

The clouds that covered the peak of the Dragon Binding Mountain suddenly began to roll. It was like an invisible giant hand pulling open a curtain, pulling the boundless clouds to both sides, forming two enormous Heavenly Stairway Cloud Gates that gathered on both sides of the peak of the Dragon Binding Mountain.

“The Heavenly Gate is open …”

Chen Xun and the rest of the newly promoted disciples were shocked by the strange phenomenon of Cloud Qi, and the onlookers had long since burst into cheers.

It’s not strange.

The Azure Water School recruited a new batch of disciples every three years. The people living in Azure Water City had long treated the entrance ceremony as a lively program every three years.

Seeing the clouds covering the mountain peak disperse, the entire mountain peak that had been sliced off a thousand meters above the surface appeared. Countless grand hall pavilions were built on the sliced platforms on the mountain peak.

Chen Xun couldn’t suppress the shock in his heart.

This was the Azure Water College!

**********************

The crane’s voice was jittery. From the clouds at the top of the northern mountains, the nine of them quickly glowed with multicolored light. They either gathered clouds under their feet or rode on cranes and rode on roc. They slowly flew over from the clouds in the distance and landed on the mountain peak.

“Immortal Su Clan!”

The crowd erupted with enthusiastic cheers and even fanatical cheers. Many people couldn’t help but kneel on the ground and worship the nine people who landed on the summit of the mountain …

The onlookers cheered one after another, and many people couldn’t help but kneel and worship.

Seeing the Cloud Gate open and the nine of them descend from the sky, Chen Xun’s mind was also shocked. Looking at the newly promoted disciples, all of them were staring at the bridge with their tongues agape.

Chen Xun thought to himself that the Su Clan’s grand display was probably to shock the hearts of the disciples. It was to leave behind an indelible and mysterious impression in the hearts of the newly promoted disciples.

Even though it was thousands of meters away, Chen Xun could still feel the powerful auras of those nine people.

It could not be said to be particularly fierce, but people with a cold heart and a weak will would have an indelible impression. They probably wouldn’t dare to harbor any ill intentions towards the Su Clan in this lifetime.

These nine people appeared at the entrance ceremony of the new disciples. They should all be important figures of the Three Commandments and Six Commandants Manor. Their auras were truly so strong that they could not even be looked up to.

Su Junyuan, the current head of the Su Martial Commandant’s Manor, had been cultivating in seclusion for more than ten years, so he shouldn’t be among the nine of them.

Su Qingfeng was the deputy lieutenant in charge of external affairs of Commandant Su Wu’s mansion. After Chen Xun entered Azure Water City, he had never seen his figure before. He didn’t know if the legendary Fourth Master Su Quan, the other vice captain of the Su Wu Lieutenant’s Manor, was among the nine?

Zong Ling, Nan Xi, Qian Lan, and the others were completely shocked by the strange scene in front of them. It took Gu Jianfeng a long time to restrain his shock. He whispered to Chen Xun, “Ah Xun, if the Black Python and Black Mountain can build an altar from the Black Rock Peak in the future, can they surpass this mountain?”

Chen Xun smiled faintly, thinking to himself that it was good that Gu Jianfeng had such ambition.

The scene Chen Xun had seen was a hundred times more magnificent than before. His divine soul was as firm as a rock. Not to mention the Su Clan, even if it was a Heavenly Marquis Clan that was a level higher than the Su Clan, it would be extremely difficult for the Yunzhou Clan to leave an indelible impression in his heart.

However, Gu Jianfeng’s mind wasn’t shocked by the strange scene in front of him, and Chen Xun’s dark feeling was also very rare. He smiled and said to him, “Perhaps I can.”

“Quiet!” When a deacon saw that Gu Jianfeng and Chen Xun were still whispering to each other at this time, they didn’t have the slightest bit of solemnity that they deserved. He stared at them sternly and asked them to remain silent.

At this moment, a profound bell-like macro voice sounded from the peak of the mountain.

“Ascending the Heavenly Stairs!”

This voice was like a direct provocation to everyone’s ears. Chen Xun’s divine soul was firm, and when he heard this, he was slightly shocked.

Ascending the Heavenly Staircase, was this azure staircase before him the Cang Lan Heavenly Staircase?

Chen Xun didn’t know what the Heaven Ascending Staircase was. Looking at the deacons and newly promoted disciples in front of him, he raised his feet and walked towards the bluestone steps. He also followed behind and stepped onto the Dragon Binding Mountain.

After stepping onto the stone steps of the Dragon Binding Mountain, he truly stepped into the Azure Water School. From then on, he would be a person above a person, an immortal above an immortal in the Azure Water School. It was also appropriate to say that he was ascending the Heavenly Stairs.

The onlookers also revealed fanatical and envious gazes, but Chen Xun’s mind was calm.

He didn’t know what profound talisman formation was engraved on the Dragon Binding Mountain. The first step he took on the bluestone stairs was like stepping into a lake, and an invisible pressure was imprisoning his entire body.

Chen Xun was no stranger to this feeling. After the Black Python Nine Nether Barbarian Soul Flag devoured the beast soul, it could also release an invisible force field.

Zong Ling and Nan Xi were hesitant, but they weren’t panicking. Only Gu Jianfeng and Qianlan didn’t know what to do, so they looked towards Chen Xun.

Chen Xun suppressed Gu Jianfeng and Qianlan said, “It should be a test to enter the Academy!”

However, seeing that the other newly promoted disciples weren’t unusual in this situation, Chen Xun knew that the deacon of the monastery was secretly playing tricks on them. He should have already told the other newly promoted disciples about the trials they would encounter today. He had only missed them. It was likely that someone wanted to see them make a fool of themselves.

Zong Ling and South Stream’s Enlightened Barbarian Soul had both reached the peak of the fifth level of Bone Tempering. Qianlan cultivated Wu Man and was born with a Spirit Channeling Sword Heart. She was more than enough to deal with the current situation, and for Gu Jianfeng, who had already advanced to the seventh level of Blood Transformation, it was a piece of cake.

Chen Xun leisurely followed behind the crowd and rose up the stairs.

After walking more than three hundred steps, there was a slightly larger platform. Chen Xun felt that the pressure on his body was more than a thousand jin.

However, to all the newly promoted disciples who participated in the trial and were strictly selected through other methods, a thousand jin of strength was nothing. Chen Xun turned around and saw all the newly promoted disciples. Not a single one of them could easily ascend the first level of the Heavenly Staircase Platform.

A few disciples of the Xuanyi Academy had already gathered here. Seeing everyone climb onto the platform, they couldn’t help but feel a little disappointed in their eyes.

“It’s really strange that not a single fish or two were removed from the first floor of the Heavenly Staircase this year?”

‘”Why didn’t you prepare for the entrance to the Academy earlier? It’s a bit too easy to pass the first level of the Ten Heavenly Stairs. It depends on whether anyone can pass the five levels and enter the Academy to become a Purple-clothed Disciple this year …”

Chen Xun raised his head and looked towards the top of the mountain. Indeed, there was a platform every three hundred steps. He knew that the pressure on his body would increase step by step as he climbed up the bluestone stairs.

He didn’t know how much pressure the Dragon Binding Mountain would release when he reached the fifth level of the Heavenly Staircase Platform. He actually asked the newly promoted disciples who had passed the test to be directly selected into the inner court of the academy.

After Chen Xun followed the crowd, he slowly walked up. When he climbed onto the second platform, the pressure on his body increased by 2,000 jin, almost doubling. As he climbed the third level of the Heavenly Staircase Platform, the pressure on his body doubled again, to over 4,000 kilograms.

The subtle depths of his muscles, bones, skin, and flesh were all being squeezed by boundless and powerful force. Chen Xun felt indescribably comfortable. It was as if he had consumed a spirit pill, and all the pores on his body had been opened.

Although it was only at the foot of the Dragon Binding Mountain, the Profound Breath Spiritual Qi was already abundant. Moreover, it was gentle in nature. It seeped into the depths of muscles, bones, skin, and flesh like a gossamer. It nourished flesh and blood, cleansed hair, and even removed impurities from the internal organs bit by bit, and then discharged them with sweat.

Chen Xun secretly felt that the Dragon Binding Mountain Heavenly Staircase was truly extraordinary. Climbing the Heavenly Staircase was even better than eating spirit medicines.

However, Zong Ling, Nan Xi, and the others were already at their limits, and it was difficult to walk. Every step they took, beads of sweat oozed out from their foreheads.

More than a thousand new disciples, nearly half of them were comparable in strength to Zong Ling, Nan Xi, and the others. They stopped before the third Heavenly Staircase Platform and no longer forced themselves to climb high. Instead, they took out medicinal pills from their bosoms, sat down cross-legged, or practiced their fists and feet. They knew that this was a rare opportunity, so they seized every moment to cultivate.

Zong Ling, Nan Xi, and the others were currently at the peak of the fifth layer of bone tempering. At this moment, if they consumed medicinal pills to refine their medicinal power, they might be able to advance to the sixth layer of the Barbarian Martial Technique, where they could temper their tendons and cultivate their strength in one go. Immediately, they took out all the remaining Essence Gathering Paste and swallowed it, practicing the Great Roc Fist stance …

Seeing Zong Ling and Nan Xi quickly immerse themselves in the subtle realm of parataxis, Chen Xun was secretly gratified, and he continued to ascend.

However, Chen Xun only took the first step on the fourth level of the Heavenly Staircase. Apart from the powerful pressure that was about to crush the muscles, bones, skin, and flesh from the deepest depths, there was also an extremely terrifying aura that leaked out from the depths of the mountain, directly suppressing the souls of the crowd to the point of extinction.

At this moment, more than a hundred newly promoted disciples were unable to withstand this terrifying aura. They directly fell onto the platform of the third level of the Heavenly Staircase. Their faces were pale. No one had expected that the difficulty of the fourth level of the Heavenly Staircase would far exceed their imagination.
