Chapter 741: Chapter 558: Resonating with the Heavenly Dao

"Disperse!"

With the escape of the Black Water Mysterious Snake, the crisis was temporarily lifted, and True Person of Qingcheng Mountain waved his hand, dismissing the protection of the Golden Bell.

Wang Yang glanced at the deep pit not far ahead, a flash of murderous intent gleaming between his brows.

With the cultivation level of True Person of Qingcheng Mountain, the Art of Summoning Thunder was enough to annihilate a newly transformed demon like the Black Water Mysterious Snake, but Wang Yang saw very clearly the sliver of Demonic Qi that surged into the snake while it was gathering Mysterious Thunder in its mouth!

Others might not have seen it, but it did not escape Wang Yang’s eyes!

It was precisely this Demonic Qi that helped neutralize most of the destructive power of the Divine Thunder, providing an opportunity and time for the Black Water Mysterious Snake to escape.

"Is this the mystical technique of an Immortal?"

Lu Feng, standing nearby, was completely shocked. For a child from an ordinary village, that scene was naturally stunning!

Su Yue felt the same, yet beyond the shock in her eyes, there was also a hint of determination!

"One day, I will also become an Immortal like Master, exterminating demons and upholding justice!"

The shift in their sentiments was naturally noticed by True Person of Qingcheng Mountain, until his gaze fell on Wang Yang, prompting a slight frown.

Wang Yang’s demeanor was too calm, as if everything before him was trivial, stirring no waves in his heart.

Indeed, for Wang Yang, such scenes genuinely weren’t worth mentioning. What concerned him now was where had that Demonic Qi-bearing Black Water Mysterious Snake gone?

The appearance of Demonic Qi signified that the Demon Clan had invaded this plane, and given the combat strength of this world, it was absolutely no match for the Demon Clan!

He must hasten to refine his Dantian Spiritual Qi, accelerate the absorption of the Power of the Celestial Way by the Heart of Pangu, and complete the transformation before the arrival of the Demon Clan!

"All right! I have gravely injured this evil beast. It should not appear to harm anyone for several years. Let’s continue our journey!"

True Person of Qingcheng Mountain waved his hand, a strong wind burst forth, sweeping up Wang Yang and the others, once again mounting the white clouds and speeding away.

Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, they arrived at the gate of Qingcheng Sect. The white cloud descended, and a towering peak piercing the clouds came into view.

The peak shot straight into the Clouds, majestic and towering. At the waist of the mountain, clouds and mist, swirling, created a hazy look that carried a hint of mystery.

Looking up, before them lay stairs built of white jade, at the end of which stood two huge pillars. Between the pillars, a stone plaque hovered in the Void, engraved with three big characters.

Qingcheng Sect!

The characters were bold and powerful, conveying a profound strength even from a great distance.

On either side of the pillars were two lifelike Qilin statues, their overwhelming presence almost suffocating.

"Alright! This is Qingcheng Sect, follow me!"

True Person of Qingcheng Mountain said with a smile, and then took a step forward. With that step, his figure vanished from the spot, reappearing beneath the gate’s pillars in an instant!

True Person of Qingcheng Mountain looked down with a smile, his eyes also filled with a bit of anticipation!

This mountain gate had exactly two thousand nine hundred ninety-nine steps, created according to the principle of "The Great Dao minus one," which tests how much a person’s body resonates with the Heavenly Dao.

In other words, the more steps that resonate, the higher future achievements will be.

In the past, Ling’er resonated with nine hundred ninety-nine jade steps, setting a new record for newcomers in nearly a century!

That was the reason True Person of Qingcheng Mountain held Ling’er in such high regard!

When it comes to cultivation, innate talent and aptitude far outweigh the efforts of acquired training!

"Please follow me and walk up the steps to the peak of the gate!"

Ling’er, clever as she was, naturally understood True Person of Qingcheng Mountain’s intentions and turned to speak to Wang Yang and the others.

As for Lu Feng and Su Yue, True Person of Qingcheng Mountain already had a clear judgment in his heart, but Wang Yang, he could not see through.

These Great Dao steps, what he wanted to test, was precisely Wang Yang!

Wang Yang’s eyes narrowed slightly, instantly recognizing the significance of the number of steps and their correspondence to the Great Dao, a slight smile appearing at the corner of his mouth.

It seemed that Qingcheng Mountain Sect was a bit more interesting than he had anticipated!

"Let’s go!"

Turning back, Wang Yang took Su Yue’s hand and stepped onto the first step.

He had previously promised Su Ding to take care of Su Yue.

Wang Yang would naturally not forget; having promised, he was determined to fulfill it.

A stream of warmth flowed into Su Yue’s body, circling her meridians before merging into the Dantian. Su Yue was greatly surprised and was just about to speak out when Wang Yang shook his head to silence her.

The warmth from Wang Yang’s hand passed to Su Yue, who also instinctively stepped forward, setting foot on the first step!

Buzz!

Suddenly, a resonating sound like the ringing of a bell emanated from within Su Yue, coursing through her body. At the same time, as if in response, the world around also slowly began to resonate with the sound of a bell!

The Voice of the Great Dao!

True Person of Qingcheng Mountain’s eyes narrowed slightly, somewhat surprised. He had examined Su Yue before, and although she had some aptitudes, they should not have caused such a degree of resonance!

This resonance was so profound that it far surpassed that of Ling’er at the beginning!

This sound, understandable to others, could only be sensed by those of a certain cultivation realm!

In Qingcheng Sect, besides True Person of Qingcheng Mountain, only the Sect Leader Qing Yuanzi was left!

At some point, a figure suddenly appeared beside True Person of Qingcheng Mountain, wearing a Daoist robe, with a very young appearance, around thirty years of age, his body tall and straight as a spear, even taller than True Person of Qingcheng Mountain by a head.

It was none other than the Sect Leader of Qingcheng Sect, Qing Yuanzi.

Upon appearing, Qing Yuanzi’s gaze fell immediately on Wang Yang, his eyes bursting with a brilliant light, as if trying to see through everything.
