my world double door.

In the valley at the back mountain, Xuan Qingzi, who had introduced Li Yang to the sect only a moment after the sect leader arrived, also appeared next to the teleportation array, looking at it with great anticipation.

When a flash of light appeared and Li Yang's figure appeared, an aura of martial arts master emanated, and the two men's eyes suddenly lit up.

"Martial Master, you are actually a Martial Master. Your potential really amazes me."

The Sect Master looked at Li Yang with emotion. Xuan Qingzi also smiled as he felt the aura of a Martial Honored One on Li Yang. He then looked at the Sect Master and said, "Sect Master, since you are already a Martial Honored One, can you go to that place?"

As his disciple, Li Yang's achievements would naturally be as high as possible. Seeing that Li Yang's cultivation had reached the Martial Honor realm after a trip to the Tianjiao battlefield, Xuan Qingzi couldn't wait to contribute to his martial arts career.

"Well, I see that Li Yang already has the way of ancient beasts. In that case, let's go to the spiritual place in the back mountain."

The sect leader smiled and nodded. As soon as he finished speaking, his figure disappeared from the spot, leaving only a token that floated to Li Yang's side.

"The spiritual land in the back mountain is a good place. There is our sect's sacred beast Xuanwu and its offspring. You can go and take a look."

Seeing the token, Xuan Qingzi blinked at Li Yang and looked at him with a smile. After he finished speaking, he patted the storage bag on his waist and handed another token to Li Yang: "Although Wuji is the founder of our sect's magic skill, our sect has produced many heroes and strong men over the years, and there are many outstanding ones, and there are also many who can create magic skills. After you subdue the Xuanwu cub, you can go to the top floor of the Sutra Pavilion to have a look. There may be something you are interested in there."

After saying this, Xuan Qingzi became more and more satisfied with Li Yang the more he looked at him. He waved his hand and said, "Let's go. Practice well!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Xuan Qingzi's figure disappeared from the spot, leaving Li Yang alone. He blinked, smiled friendly to the elder on duty, and then looked at the back mountain.

"Xuanwu?"

Li Yang naturally knew that there was a deep spiritual lake in the back mountain, which seemed to be connected to the origin of the world. The lake was quiet and deep, and was shrouded in a layer of light spiritual mist all year round, revealing an indescribable mystery and remoteness. In the center of the lake, an ancient and huge basalt stone sculpture was looming, as if it had stood here since the beginning of the world, witnessing the endless changes of time.

This stone sculpture is not an ordinary object, but the true body of the Wuji Sect's guardian beast, the Xuanwu beast. The Xuanwu beast has a unique and majestic shape, with a tortoise body as huge as a mountain. Ancient and mysterious runes are engraved on its shell. Each rune seems to contain the truth and mystery of the world, and flashes the vicissitudes of time in the faint light. Its snake neck is slender and flexible, its snake head is raised high, and its eyes are like deep stars, flashing with wise and distant light, as if it can see through the rise and fall, honor and disgrace of all things in the world.

Xuanwu, the mythical beast, takes longevity as the basis of its enlightenment. Over the long years, it has immersed itself in the profound exploration of the mysteries of life and has comprehended a unique and profound way to longevity. Its breathing is not simply to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, but a subtle extraction and transformation of life energy. It can capture the purest source of life from the alternating movement of the sun, moon and stars; it can extract the essence elements that help to prolong life from the flow of the breath of mountains and rivers. Every breath is like a profound and lasting dialogue with heaven and earth, slowly integrating the energy of the outside world into itself, nourishing the immortal body that has gone through countless years.

In battle, the Xuanwu beast uses its longevity to its fullest. Its tortoise body is as hard as sacred iron, like an unshakable ancient fortress, capable of withstanding the most violent attacks in the world. Whether it is the sharp flash of swords or the surging energy storm, once it touches the tortoise shell of the Xuanwu beast, it will be dissolved by the mysterious rune power and dissipated into nothingness. And its snake neck is like agile lightning, striking swiftly when the enemy least expects it. From its mouth, it can spew out a mysterious cold mist containing the power of time erosion. Once this mist covers the enemy, it will quickly erode its vitality, causing its body functions to age in an instant, and its movements to become slow and difficult.

Years go by, and time flows endlessly. The Xuanwu beast still quietly guards the Wuji Sect's spiritual lake. Its figure has long been integrated with this land and this sect. It has witnessed the rise and fall of the Wuji Sect, and the growth and rise of generations of disciples. In the endless years to come, the Xuanwu beast will continue to carry the glory and hope of the Wuji Sect with its longevity, and stand proudly and forever in the long journey of martial arts.

And in the spiritual lake behind this Xuanwu, there is a small and exquisite Xuanwu, which is its Houyi.

This little black tortoise is only the size of a palm. Its shell is round and smooth, like a carefully polished black jade, emitting a warm luster under the sunlight. The faint lines on its shell are like the mysterious code left by the years. Although it is immature, it also reveals an innate simplicity and depth. Its little head pops out of its shell from time to time, and its mung bean-sized eyes roll around, curiously looking at everything around it. Its short limbs paddle the lake vigorously, leaving behind a series of small and lovely ripples, as if it is its first "signature" in this world.

The character of the little black tortoise is just like the spring breeze, gentle and playful. It is full of endless curiosity about everything around it. A falling leaf or a stone flashing in the water can instantly attract all its attention. It often chases the small fish and shrimps in the lake, wanting to have a happy "playful competition" with them. However, its slightly clumsy movements always allow the small fish and shrimps to escape easily, leaving it flapping its limbs in place, splashing a small splash of water, looking very cute and funny. At this time, it does not seem to be discouraged, but will tilt its head and blink its eyes, as if thinking about how to successfully "capture" these smart little friends next time. In terms of diet, the little black tortoise shows a unique "picky and casual". It has a special liking for the spiritual herbs in the lake, especially those with sparkling stars on the leaves. Every time it finds them, it will swim over excitedly and nibble them gently with its small mouth, as if tasting the most precious delicacies in the world. But occasionally, it would be attracted by the flying butterflies on the lake, forgetting the delicious food in its mouth and trying to chase the "elves" dancing in the air. However, the butterflies would often fly away and it could only watch the flying butterflies sadly, then slowly swim back to the grass and continue to enjoy its "feast".

There are also warm and interesting stories between Xiao Xuanwu and the disciples of Wuji Sect. Whenever the disciples come to the Linghu Lake to practice or rest, Xiao Xuanwu will always swim to the shore happily, stick his head out, and look at them with his cute eyes, as if expecting something. Once, a young disciple was practicing sword by the lake, and Xiao Xuanwu was attracted by the flickering sword shadow. He actually climbed up the shore, followed behind the disciple, and imitated his movements. Its small body twisted hard, trying to make a decent sword move, but it always fell to the ground because of losing balance, making the disciples around laugh. The disciples also loved this cute little Xuanwu very much. They would select some exquisite snacks from their dry food and feed it carefully. Xiao Xuanwu would swallow it without hesitation, and then burp a little with satisfaction, which caused everyone to laugh again.

It was precisely because of these experiences that Xiao Xuanwu became known to the true disciples.

Many people in the sect were interested in this little black tortoise, but I didn't expect that this time it would be given to me.

Li Yang thought in his heart, raised his foot, unleashed his extreme speed, and quickly appeared outside the back mountain.

When you step into this area, the first thing that comes into view is a winding stone path, which is paved with ancient and huge bluestone slabs. The slabs are covered with moss and traces of time, as if silently telling stories of the past. On both sides of the stone path, there are tall and straight pine trees. The trunks of these pine trees are so thick that it takes several people to hug them. The bark is rough and presents a deep gray-brown color. The pine needles are slender and green. They sway gently in the breeze, making a rustling sound, as if they are humming ancient ballads.

Walking along the stone path, you can see a lush bamboo forest. The bamboos are slender and straight, rising higher and higher. The bamboo leaves are so dense that they almost cover the sky. The sun can only shine through the layers of bamboo leaves, casting golden spots like the twinkling stars in the night sky. The bamboo forest is filled with a fresh and elegant bamboo fragrance, which is refreshing and makes people feel relaxed and happy. Occasionally, you can hear a few crisp bird calls. It turns out that some spiritual birds are flying around in the bamboo forest. Their feathers are bright and colorful, adding a bit of agility and vitality to this bamboo forest.

After passing through the bamboo forest, the view suddenly opened up to a quiet spiritual spring. The water of the spiritual spring was so clear that you could clearly see the round and smooth stones and swaying water plants at the bottom of the spring. The spring water gushed out from deep underground, forming small whirlpools at the spring eye, and then slowly flowed out and gathered into a gurgling stream. The stream meandered down along the terrain, making a clear and pleasant sound of flowing water, as if it was a beautiful piece of music played by nature. On both sides of the stream, there grew all kinds of spiritual flowers and plants, these flowers and plants have different shapes, some flowers are delicate and gorgeous, like burning flames; others are elegant and fresh, like shy girls. Their petals are sparkling with crystal dew, and under the reflection of the sun, they are like bright pearls.

Not far from the spiritual spring, there is a steep mountain. The mountain is soaring into the clouds, and the mountain body is shrouded in clouds and mist, looming, giving people a mysterious feeling. The stone wall of the mountain is steep and rugged, standing almost vertically on the ground, but on this cliff, there are some tenacious spiritual vines growing. These spiritual vines climb up along the stone wall, their vines are thick and tough, and some are even embedded in the stone wall. There are also some strange spiritual fruits growing on the spiritual vines. These fruits exude an attractive aroma. It is said that eating them can increase the power and improve the realm of the cultivator.

Under the mountain, there is a vast spiritual valley. In the spiritual valley, there grow large areas of spiritual rice, the grains of which are full and gleaming with golden light. When the breeze blows, the rice ears sway in the wind, forming a golden wave of rice. Around the spiritual valley, there are some ancient stone houses, which are the places where the ancestors of the Wuji Sect practiced in seclusion. The architectural style of the stone houses is simple and quaint, and the walls are engraved with various martial arts runes and practice experiences, providing valuable reference and inspiration for later practitioners.

In the sky of the back mountain of Wuji Sect, there are often strange celestial phenomena. Sometimes there will be colorful spiritual clouds, which are like fairy ribbons, dancing freely in the air, decorating the entire back mountain like a dream. Sometimes there will be mysterious spiritual cloud vortexes, which contain powerful spiritual energy of heaven and earth, attracting many practitioners to come and comprehend and absorb. At night, the starry sky of the back mountain is particularly bright, and the stars are like gems inlaid on the sky, densely packed and countless. The Milky Way spans the sky, like a river flowing with star sand, exuding a vast and boundless atmosphere.

This back mountain is not only a holy place for the Wuji Sect disciples to practice, but also the habitat of countless spiritual plants and creatures.

Li Yang walked along the back mountain to Xuanwu Lake. He first bowed respectfully to Xuanwu, who looked like a stone statue, and then turned to look at the lake behind him.

After a long time, circles of small ripples appeared in the center of the lake. Li Yang was delighted, knowing that the little black tortoise was about to appear. The small black tortoise slowly emerged from the water, with a few strands of water grass hanging on its shell, and its black bean-like eyes looked at Li Yang on the shore vigilantly.

Li Yang quickly showed a friendly smile and said softly: "Little Xuanwu, don't be afraid, I mean no harm." However, little Xuanwu seemed unmoved. It paddled quickly with its short limbs and turned around to dive to the bottom of the lake.

How could Li Yang give up so easily? He tapped the ground with his toes and performed the "Fresh Breeze Step", and his figure flew towards the lake like lightning. When he was about to fall into the water, he gathered his energy with both palms, and slapped out a gentle spiritual power, supporting his body to glide on the water. The little black tortoise noticed the movement behind him, and the snake neck swung violently, and the snake mouth opened, and a weak water arrow shot towards Li Yang. Li Yang was prepared, and dodged to the side, and the water arrow flew past his clothes, splashing water.

"Xiao Xuanwu, I just want to make friends with you, and I have no intention of hurting you." Li Yang said as he took out a spiritual fruit from his arms. This spiritual fruit was found by chance deep in the back mountain of the sect, and it exuded an alluring fruity fragrance. Xiao Xuanwu's nose seemed to move, and a hint of hesitation flashed in his eyes, but he still maintained a defensive posture.

Seeing this, Li Yang slowly squatted down and gently placed the spiritual fruit on the water. The spiritual fruit slowly floated towards the little black tortoise with the waves of the lake. The little black tortoise stared at the spiritual fruit, then looked at Li Yang, and finally couldn't resist the temptation of the spiritual fruit, and swam over carefully. When it got close to the spiritual fruit, it suddenly stretched out its neck and swallowed the spiritual fruit in one gulp, then quickly retreated, staring at Li Yang. (End of this chapter)
