My Legend Still Exists in the Cultivation World

During the walk, spiritual birds could be seen flying around and roars from the beasts could be heard from time to time, as if they were in a celestial realm.

“Hmph, this Frostcloud Sect of yours is not too bad, just barely worthy of this phoenix.
But these spiritual birds are really lacking.
Don’t they know that they should greet me?”

The blue phoenix ranted its dissatisfaction in his divine consciousness, but Jing Yue ignored it.

Qianyue glanced at them surreptitiously.
She saw awe and wonder in Liu Tianhao’s face, but Jing Yue was absolutely calm, and she was surprised again.

When they arrived at a short bridge, Qianyue said, “I’ve to report back to Shizun^.
The two of you can wait here, don’t simply walk around.”

(TN: 师尊 Shizun = Supreme Master)

“Okay.”

As soon as Qianyue left, Liu Tianhao looked around and saw no one else.

He relaxed a little and glimpsed at Jing Yue from the corner of his eyes, “Hey.”

Jing Yue flicked a glance at him but did not respond.
Even the blue phoenix perched on his shoulder turned around, showing its furry little butt at him.

Liu Tianhao felt insulted.
In the past, everyone treated him respectfully, so he said indignantly, “The fairy was kind enough to bring you in, and you have your nose up in the air already? Do you think your attitude will be favored by any Zhenren? You should thank your lucky stars if you are not sent to the outer gates.”

Seeing Jing Yue’s unrepentant stance, he was furious and threatened, “You think there’s nothing else to worry about once you’ve joined the Frostcloud Sect? Let me tell you, if you’ve no backing, you’ll only be bulled.
All the resources given by the sect will be snatched away from you, all the dirty and tiring work will be thrown at you, leaving you with no time to cultivate, and you’ll end up getting expelled from the sect!”

Jing Yue’s expression sank, “How do you know?”

Liu Tianhao thought his threats were effective and he said ostentatiously, “Hah, who doesn’t know that? The serious rivalry between the internal and external gates is no longer a secret.
Only those who could survive in the cruel competition are the true disciples of the Frostcloud Sect.”

He wanted to continue, but a young man dressed in green robes approached them from a distance.

That person asked, “Are you Liu-shidi^ and Jing-shidi^?”

(TN: 师弟Shidi = Junior brother)

“Yes, we are.”

“Follow me.
The Sect Leader would like to meet you.”

“Sect… Sect Leader?”

When Liu Tianhao heard the words ‘Sect Leader’, he almost buckled in surprise, but excited at the same time.
That was the Sect Leader of Frostcloud Sect! Wei Tianli-zhenjun was ranked one of the top ten Amethyst Abode cultivators on the Flying Immortal List! Before today, he was just a legendary character, completely out of reach.

Such a person would like to meet him? Could it be… could it be that he was the person destined to bring great fortune to the Frostcloud Sect?

After that, Liu Tianhao was in a daze all the way until he reached the main hall of Bluecloud Summit, before he realized that Jing Yue came along too.

Liu Tianhao wanted to bow down, but he was prevented by a force.
A majestic voice rang, “Let’s examine your spiritual root first.”

Liu Tianhao’s body was frozen stiff and he dared not raise his head.

That voice asked, “Who is Jing Yue?”

Liu Tianhao’s heart was shaken, his mind was in a mess, and he barely heard Jing Yue’s reply.
That voice said, “Wait for a moment.”

Who? Me? Or that kid?

“Liu Tianhao.”

“Yes!”

He replied reflexively, lost control of his voice due to sheer nervousness and nearly yelled himself hoarse.
The loud echoes in the hall added to his shame in waves, and he trembled violently.

The person who called out his name chuckled, “Haha, so energetic.
Very well, you may start first.”

“Liu-shidi, please go ahead.”

Liu Tianhao lifted his head blankly.
The man in green robes who brought him here handed him a transparent stone in the shape of a gourd.

He knew it was a magic item used by Frostcloud Sect to examine spiritual roots.
Although he was already found to possess the water and metal double spiritual roots when he was three, he could not help his nervousness at this time.

Liu Tianhao’s palm was quickly drenched with sweat.
He held the stone tightly, afraid of dropping the stone accidentally.
Very soon, he felt a warm sensation in his palm.

“That’ll do,” the green-robed man said.

Liu Tianhao opened his hand and found that most of the stone had turned blue with just a tinge of gold at the corner.

He exhaled in relief and looked ahead expectantly.

More than a dozen men and women were seated in the main hall, and at a center was a Daoist in purple robes.
Liu Tianhao looked down quickly, fearful to look at them for too long, but he knew without a doubt that the man in purple robes was the Sect Leader of Frostcloud Sect, Wei Tianli.

His future was in the hands of these people!

Liu Tianhao clenched his fists tightly and he heard the green-robed man saying, “Double spiritual root of water and metal, water dominant.”

His head was lowered, so he did not see Wei Tianli nodding with approval and asking, “Is there anyone who’d like to accept him?”

A few Golden Core Zhenren stirred, but one of them said, “Let’s examine the other one first.”

Wei Tianli, “That’s fine.”

The green-robed man put two fingers together, rubbed the gourd-shaped stone lightly and it became transparent again.
He approached Jing Yue, “Jing-shidi, it’s your turn.”

Jing Yue took the stone, closed his eyes, mobilized his spiritual energy and injected it into the magic item.

Just like before, after a little while, the green-robed man indicated that it was done.
Jing Yue opened his hands slowly, but the stone was still transparent.

“Eh?”

The green-robed man gave Jing Yue a strange look.
Could this person not possess any spiritual root? It was not possible, since he was already a level 2 Qi Refining.

Could there be a problem with the stone? He said hesitantly, “Jing-shidi, try again…”

Suddenly, he heard a soft cracking sound.

By reflex, the man lowered his head and saw a thin line of crack on the surface of the testing gourd.
Before he could react, however, the main hall was flooded in blue light, and he squinted from the radiance.

It seemed as if there were fiery storms and raging waves, mighty and earth-shaking, the white waves almost formed mountain ranges.
A ray of lightning struck down from the inky sky, splintered on the angry waves, spray exploded, rain poured, and the force of it was akin to collapsing mountains and cracking grounds.

At the same time, all the celestial beasts in Frostcloud Sect roared and bowed towards Bluecloud Summit.

Twang…

The sound of the bell was long and ancient, and everyone in the main hall reacted to it.

“That is…”

The Jadecloud Bell had rung again.

Author’s Note: Mini-theater

Burly man: I think that boy is having an epiphany.

Jing Yue: In the last chapter, you obviously scorned me and said I was distracted, thank you very much.

…

Before entering the mountain

Qianyue: He didn’t respond to the grandmaster’s sword character coercion.
It’s impossible!

Jing Yue: Because I’m the grandmaster.

After entering the mountain

Blue phoenix: They didn’t come to worship me! No foresight!

Jing Yue: Because they treat you as a wild pheasant.
