Chapter 260: The Gift of the Biyi
Chapter 260: The Gift of the Biyi
Yunyang Sect had many disciples, but not all of them were present for this journey to the Cloud Ascension Platform.
Grandmaster Taiwu's reward was indeed meant for all the disciples.
However, within the vast sect, there were bound to be some who were unwilling to participate in this Cloud Ascension Platform trial.
And this number was not small.
Many Yunyang Sect disciples were slightly older and had no lofty aspirations for further advancement in their cultivation.
Instead, they focused more on handling backend affairs within the sect.
For these disciples, Yunyang Sect provided some contribution rewards.
It was impossible for Yunyang Sect to allow everyone to leave, as there were affairs within the sect that required attention and resolution.
A large group of people headed southwest in a grand procession.
Within two hours, they arrived at the location of the Cloud Ascension Platform.
The terrain here was flat, but it was surrounded by tall woody plants.
The plants obscured the view, limiting their line of sight.
In the center of this area was a wide and deep pit.
The so-called Cloud Ascension Platform was actually located within this pit.
After the refined ore was thrown in and the corresponding mechanism was activated, the Cloud Ascension Platform would begin to function.
Su Chen looked around, and among those who came to participate in the Cloud Ascension Platform trial, he recognized the top disciples of Yunyang Sect.
Fu Jianyun and Liu Xingwan still attracted the most attention.
Standing at the back of the crowd, they drew many gazes.
Grandmaster Taiwu once again offered a reminder to everyone.
His greatest concern was still that someone might overestimate their abilities and recklessly attempt to climb the platform.
Such disciples would almost certainly get injured.
At this moment, the Fourth Elder had already poured the refined ore and inserted the corresponding key into the mechanism.
A loud rumbling sound began to echo.
The Cloud Ascension Platform emerged from the pit, layer upon layer.
What was once at eye level now required them to look up.
At the same time, a powerful overwhelming aura enveloped everyone.
Disciples with insufficient strength were directly knocked to the ground.
"The overwhelming aura on the Cloud Ascension Platform is even stronger than here.
If you don't have the strength, don't be reckless and rush up!"
Grandmaster Taiwu looked at the crowd, unable to resist reminding them once more.
Before long, the complete form of the Cloud Ascension Platform appeared before everyone.
Each layer was about twenty feet high, seemingly weathered by years of erosion, making it appear somewhat dilapidated.
Buried in the damp pit, the platform also had moss growing on it.
At first glance, climbing the Cloud Ascension Platform seemed quite easy.
Each layer was about twenty feet high, and one could easily leap up.
But everyone present knew it wouldn't be that simple.
Even before stepping onto the platform, they could feel the overwhelming aura pressing down on their shoulders.
No one knew how heavy the overwhelming aura would be when they actually stepped onto the platform.
At this moment, the Yunyang Sect disciples felt the weight of the overwhelming aura, but they were still eager.
However, the guards were blocking everyone, preventing them from stepping onto the platform.
As the Cloud Ascension Platform had just been activated, the overwhelming aura on the platform was still somewhat chaotic.
Climbing at this moment would not only be more dangerous but also prevent them from gaining the intended benefits.
At the very least, they would have to wait for more than half a day before they could step onto the Cloud Ascension Platform.
If they wanted to reach the higher levels, they would need to wait even longer.
The Yunyang Sect disciples present were dispersed by the guards around the platform.
By doing so, they could avoid overcrowding when stepping onto the platform later.
The Cloud Ascension Platform narrowed as it ascended, with the bottom being the widest and the upper levels becoming narrower.
Although many disciples had come today, after dispersing, the platform should be able to accommodate them all.
However, with so many disciples coming for this trial, the refined ore consumed by Yunyang Sect was far more than usual.
For this Cloud Ascension Platform trial, the Yunyang Sect has indeed invested a great deal.
During the waiting period, three powerful figures gradually approached from a distance.
Grandmaster Taiwu and the several elders all looked towards these three figures.
They were the three Supreme Elders of the Yunyang Sect.
Grandmaster Taiwu's brows slightly furrowed as he glanced at the three Supreme Elders, then his gaze turned a bit angry as he looked at Sun Xuerong.
Sun Xuerong seemed to have guessed that her Sect Leader would be angry, so she dared not turn her head to look at Grandmaster Taiwu.
Although Grandmaster Taiwu is the Sect Leader of the Yunyang Sect, according to the rules of seniority, he must still pay respects to the few Supreme Elders.
Of course, the Supreme Elders also need to pay respects to the Sect Leader.
When the three Supreme Elders approached, Grandmaster Taiwu led the five elders to step forward and pay their respects.
"Today's Cloud Ascension Platform trial, I didn't expect to disturb the three Supreme Elders.
All the disciples present are truly honored."
The Great Elder spoke some polite words, trying to ease the atmosphere.
"We three old men have been a bit idle recently. We heard about today's Cloud Ascension Platform trial, so we came to take a look.
There's nothing major, just do as you please."
The leading Supreme Elder, Clear Cloud Elder, spoke these words.
However, his gaze was searching around.
Finally, under Sun Xuerong's subtle movements, the three elders' gazes all fell on Su Chen.
"Is this the disciple from the Eagleeye Sect, right?"
Clear Cloud Elder took a few steps forward and looked at Su Chen, speaking softly.
Before Su Chen could respond, Grandmaster Taiwu had already stepped forward.
"Clear Cloud Elder, in this Earth Demon Plague, Chen Su has made significant contributions.
This Cloud Ascension Platform trial is what he deserves."
Hearing this, Clear Cloud Elder waved his hand slightly.
"We three old men are not confused. We know that he made countless contributions during this Earth Demon Plague.
We mentioned his name today to give him some gifts."
Upon hearing this, Grandmaster Taiwu's brows furrowed even more.
This seemed to be far from what he had expected.
The three Supreme Elders had come to give "Chen Su" some gifts?
It didn't seem very likely.
The voices of the three elders were not loud, but their appearance naturally attracted many people's attention.
While the disciples were waiting to enter, they all looked over, wondering what was happening.
As he spoke, Clear Cloud Elder took two brocade bags from the two other Supreme Elders.
"This bag contains a bottle of Purple Blood Pills and a bottle of Frost Blossom Ointment.
These two items should be of great benefit to you.
They will certainly help your cultivation.
The other bag contains two Square Bamboo Tablets. Carrying them will help you see clearly and calm your mind, and they can also dispel bloating."
As he spoke, Clear Cloud Elder handed the two brocade bags to Su Chen.
But at this moment, Clear Cloud Elder continued.
"Old man I am, I also have a matter to discuss with young friend Chen.
Can our Yunyang Sect exchange these items for half a Heavenly Blossom Fruit?"
Hearing this, Grandmaster Taiwu was not at all surprised.
He had already guessed that the few Supreme Elders had come for the Heavenly Blossom Fruit.
"Three Supreme Elders, this item has already been given away by this Sect Leader, so it would not be right to ask for it back.
Previously, the Fifth Elder went to the Eagleeye Sect to demand the Heavenly Blossom Fruit, which caused quite a bit of embarrassment.
It would be inappropriate to make such a demand again."
Hearing this, Clear Cloud Elder quickly waved his hands.
"There are many Yunyang Sect disciples here, and everyone can hear clearly.
Old man I am, I am not demanding the Heavenly Blossom Fruit, but proposing an exchange.
In my opinion, the items we offer will be of even greater benefit to young friend Chen Su."
