Chapter 1532: Celestial Asking Road
“This is the Celestial Asking Road.” Xin Yuyao pointed at the road of auspicious clouds with a smile. “This path will take you to the celestial mountain. After that, you simply need to pass through the Heart Asking Door to become a disciple of the Eight Views Sect.” The group cheered when they heard this.
Xin Yuyao continued, “The key to the Celestial Asking Road is ‘celestial asking’. It means to ask from a celestial the way to complete one’s Dao. In more pragmatic terms, celestial energy will purify your bodies so that you may shed your tainted mortal shell and attain a flawless body.”
Everyone grew even more excited when they heard this. If Xin Yuyao wasn’t still here, they would probably be rushing up the road already. “Of course, it’s inevitable that you will feel some pain when the celestial energy purifies your body. Moreover, you cannot retreat once you’ve set foot on the Celestial Asking Road. The pain will not stop until you have reached the top of the mountain, or if your purification is complete. Please take note of this.” “Of course, the pain will not threaten your lives.”
“Those unwilling to join the Eight Views Sect may leave now.” “We’re not leaving!” “As if a mere obstacle is enough to impede our desire for the dao!” “We came all the way here to join the Eight Views Sect. Why would we back down now?”
“Yeah, celestial. We won’t back down. We will join your sect one way or another.”
......
If crossing the Celestial Asking Road might threaten their lives, then they might have hesitated a little. But Xin Yuyao promised that it wouldn’t, and it would purify their bodies. Even if they failed to join the Eight Views Sect in the end, they would have walked away with a flawless body. With that in mind, who in their right mind would withdraw now?
“Very well.” Xin Yuyao nodded in satisfaction when she noted that not one person chose to leave. “In that case, please step onto the Celestial Asking Road. Yuyao wishes you all success in your journey to meet the celestial and attain your Dao.”
“Thank you, celestial.” The group saluted her before running up the Celestial Asking Road in a hurry.
The Celestial Asking Road was completely made up of clouds. Stepping on it was like stepping on cotton or water. It felt soft, effortless, and comfortable.
Not only that, they could feel wisps of profound and miraculous, light and unfathomable qi slipping into their body and swimming about their flesh, blood and bones; meridians and bodily points; five organs and six viscera. They immediately felt pain like a snake or an insect was biting their bodies, or a rapid current was attacking a bottleneck. It was painful.
However, they could also sense that their flesh and blood was growing denser, their bones and muscles were becoming stronger, their meridians were becoming increasingly smooth, their inner organs were growing tougher, and their minds were growing purer...
