When the world was hazy, the sky turned bright. The Nine Heavens trembled, and a distant and heavy bell echoed in the mountains.
Dong…
Dong…
Dong…
As the three bells rang, the Heaven Mending Divine Mountain, which had been silent for the night, immediately became lively. People were lively and discussing.
"Haha, it's finally starting after waiting for so long! I can't wait."
"I wonder how many talented young juniors will appear this year. I'm really looking forward to it."
Under the divine mountain, more and more people began to go up the mountain. These people all lived in some aristocratic families in the nearby town. Because of the shortage of residences on the divine mountain, they had no choice but to live at the foot of the mountain.
Early in the morning, a large group of people went up the mountain. The entire divine mountain was very lively and filled with people.
On Violet Cloud Mountain, Ye Qiu stood by the cliff early in the morning. This time, Lian Feng wasn't standing beside him. This was because she had not returned after being summoned by Meng Tianzheng yesterday.
Ye Qiu really wanted to ask Meng Tianzheng personally. What did he want? However, on second thought, he gave up. The reason was very simple. If Meng Tianzheng wanted to tell him, he wouldn't need to ask at all. Meng Tianzheng would naturally tell him.
But now that he didn't say anything and didn't care about Ye Qiu, it was obvious that he was making the next move. This move was very likely related to Meng Tianzheng's departure and some secrets of the outer realm.
"Hmm… The feeling of a storm coming! What kind of medicine is the old man selling?"
Ye Qiu spent the entire night thinking about this problem as he muttered. However, he couldn't figure it out no matter what, so he simply gave up on this thought and placed all his remaining energy on this Heaven Mending Assembly.
This grand meeting would last for a month. It was the grandest event in the Heaven Mending Pavilion. They would use sparring and exchange to summarize the cultivation differences and experiences of the various factions.
Among them, many of the inheritances between the mountains had huge differences. They were completely two extremes, so there was a battle of right and wrong.
For example, the Wangchuan lineage and the Heavenly Dao lineage.
When Daoist Tianfeng was young, he was once a close friend of Lang Wangchuan. They were as close as brothers, they cultivated together, but their understanding of the Dao differed. From then on, they became strangers.
The two of them each opened their own Dao, established their own orthodoxy, and passed down their inheritance. They tried their best to prove that the other party was wrong.
The Heavenly Dao was particular. The seven emotions were shackles. Abandon the dregs and be kind and heartless!
The Wangchuan lineage followed the principle of love. Love was a double-edged sword that contained endless power. If one could control it well, it would be a sword of kindness that represented the justice of the world.
If it was not controlled well, it would become a demon sword that slaughtered the world.
Therefore, one could tell that the Heavenly Dao treated their fellow disciples with incomparable disregard. They even treated them as if they were nothing.
However, after Ye Qiu's observation, Daoist Tianfeng seemed to have some doubts about the Dao he insisted on. It was said that he was heartless, but he had feelings for the Heaven Mending Pavilion that were harder to bear than anyone else. He could not let go at all.
Ye Qiu had never seen Lan Wangchuan before. He still didn't know what the obsession in his heart was.
Apart from these two factions, there were also many mountains on the divine mountain, such as the Flower Burial lineage that had a calamity with Ye Qiu back then.
Ku Muhai, this old fellow, was not very strong, but he was still a stubborn person.
"Master!" Early in the morning, Ye Qiu stood at the top of the mountain. Lin Qingzhu led Linglong and Yaya behind him.
Previously, when the bell rang, the people from the Ye Clan and Xiao Clan headed to the Seven Stars Hall to watch this golden age battle.
Therefore, Violet Cloud Mountain returned to its usual leisure at this moment. Apart from Lin Qingzhu and the other two, there were also a hundred labor disciples that Lin Qingzhu had found from the Zenith Heaven Hall.
"Lord Deity! The bell of the meeting has already rung. Should we set off?" Standing at the back, the hundred labor disciples said nervously. Their eyes were filled with anticipation and eagerness.
This was a chance for them to defy the heavens and change their fate. Although they could not compare to Lin Qingzhu and the other personal disciples, if they performed well, they could still break through their original limitations and advance from a labor disciple to an outer sect disciple.
This was a huge turning point in their lives for them because the outer sect disciples' obvious cultivation resources were ten times higher than the labor disciples.
Ye Qiu turned around and looked at them. These people were generally still very young. They had grown up on the mountain and were on average around fifteen or sixteen years old. After working all year round, their skin seemed a little dark, but they were all full of energy and were very energetic.
Even though the conditions were hard enough, they never complained, nor did they lose their disappointment in life.
Ye Qiu admired this very much. Their mentality was very good. To be able to maintain a beginner's heart towards the Immortal Dao in such adversity was something worthy of admiration. "You didn't forget your original intentions! It's all good to push forward."
It was fate that they could appear on Violet Cloud Mountain. Ye Qiu had never been stingy with these children.
Ye Qiu had considered this problem from the moment Lin Qingzhu found them. Violet Cloud's principle had always been that everything depended on fate. If fate arrived, it didn't matter how poor one's aptitude was. However, fate hadn't arrived. No matter how talented you were, Ye Qiu wouldn't take a look at you.
This was Ye Qiu's thought since he took over Violet Cloud Peak. Lin Qingzhu had been implementing it. Unfortunately, Ye Qiu no longer took in disciples. If he had to take in disciples, it would be Lin Qingzhu.
However, after a few days of understanding, Lin Qingzhu didn't seem to have much intention of taking in a disciple. Helpless, Ye Qiu could only give up.
This kind of thing could not be forced! Principles could not be broken. Since he couldn't accept it, he would give them a good fortune. At least he didn't disappoint this fate.
Ye Qiu turned around and looked at them. He looked at their tender and young eyes that were incomparably firm.
"You are fated with Violet Cloud to be able to gather at my Violet Cloud Mountain. Today is the Heaven Mending Assembly, and also a huge opportunity for you to change your appearance.
"Since it's fate, I, Ye Qiu, have never been stingy! Today, I'll give you a good fortune. If you can successfully change your fate because of this and become famous in the future, I don't expect you to repay me with anything. I only hope that you won't forget about today's karma."
As soon as he finished speaking, the crowd instantly erupted. Everyone's tense expressions instantly became excited.
They did not dare to expect anything to begin with, let alone take the initiative to ask for opportunities. This was because Lin Qingzhu had already paid the fee in advance before looking for them.
Although there were often disciples from other peaks who received the favor of some senior experts because of their good work, this rarely happened.
However, no one expected Ye Qiu to want to give all of them good fortune today.
"Heavens! Everyone says that Lord Deity is very generous. He never hides anything from his disciples and juniors. I didn't believe it in the past, but now I do."
"That's right! The entire divine mountain is saying that it will be a blessing that you won't be able to accumulate in a hundred lifetimes if you can become a disciple of Violet Cloud."
Everyone discussed animatedly. They looked nervous, excited, and overjoyed. It was difficult to hide.
They were all young people who had yet to undergo tempering. How could they hide anything?
