Chapter 88 Chiming Mountain Yangguan Road
After copying down the four selected spells.

Ying Chan then hurriedly left Cangming Cave and headed towards Chiming Mountain.

Indeed, the spell he desired was the Crimson Bright Supreme Radiance Innate Divine Light!

This divine light is a great technique of our sect that is famous throughout the world. It is only passed down in Chiming Mountain. Ying Chan originally intended to go and try it out. Isn't now the perfect time?

Ying Chan rode the gentle breeze and sped away.

Before long, the mist lifted, and Mount Chiming was right in front of us.

He hovered in mid-air, looking towards the Crimson Bright Mountain, and couldn't help but squint his eyes slightly.

When Ying Chan first saw Chiming Mountain, he felt that the mountain seemed to be shrouded in a rosy robe, as if the sun shone upon it.

When I came back, it was still the same old feeling.

Looking at Chiming Mountain from afar, one can clearly see the majestic temples and towering pagodas within. However, upon closer inspection, it is as if one is looking directly at the sun, with only bright light shimmering in one's eyes and halos spinning endlessly, making it difficult to see anything clearly.

Ying Chan pondered for a moment, then tried to fly closer to Chiming Mountain.

But after only a short while, he immediately realized something was wrong.

In Ying Chan's perception, he was still flying forward, but the distance between him and Chiming Mountain did not decrease at all.

Chiming Mountain was clearly right in front of him, but Ying Chan was like a shadow chasing the sun, unable to get even a fraction closer no matter how he flew.

With a thought, Ying Chan lowered his body and descended towards the foot of Chiming Mountain.

Sure enough, this time there was no problem.

Moreover, as he descended, the halo around his eyes seemed to dissipate somewhat, and the view at the foot of the mountain became clearer.

Ying Chan glanced around and quickly found a long staircase with a stone tablet at the bottom, inscribed with the two characters 'Chi Ming'.

He landed at the foot of the mountain and climbed the long steps. Sure enough, he no longer felt like he was chasing the sun. After only a hundred or so steps, a platform appeared at the end of his sight.

Ying Chan's spirits lifted, and he quickened his pace, soon reaching the platform. Before he could even observe his surroundings, he discovered that there were already people there.

The man appeared to be a young man, not wearing a Taoist robe, but only a thin shirt that looked like a training outfit.

However, he did not seem to be practicing martial arts. He had been resting with his eyes closed when he noticed Ying Chan stepping onto the platform, so he opened his eyes and looked over.

"Ok?"

The young man said with some surprise, "A new face? Is this your first time here?"

"A new face?" Ying Chan seemed to understand something, then stepped forward and bowed: "I am Ying Chan, and this is indeed my first time in Chiming Mountain. I have not yet asked my senior brother for permission to visit."

"Clouds bring wind."

The young man returned the greeting and said with a smile, "I was just saying that. I've been going to Chiming Mountain quite often lately, and I should already know my fellow disciples who frequently travel this 'Yangguan Road'."

Ying Chan asked doubtfully, "The Yangguan Road?"

"Oh, Junior Brother, I haven't heard of it." Yun Youfeng smiled. "Before you came to Chiming Mountain, didn't you inquire about what trials are required to learn the 'Chiming Taiyao Innate Divine Light'?"

"To be honest," Ying Chan said, "I haven't been a disciple for long, and I have never heard of it before."

"Has only been a disciple for a short time?" Yun Youfeng suddenly realized, then clicked his tongue and said, "Junior brother is quite ambitious, aiming for the Crimson Bright Taiyao Innate Divine Light so soon after entering the sect."

Ying Chan simply smiled, cupped his hands, and asked, "I am new here and do not know what kind of test this 'Yangguan Road' is. May I ask my senior brother for guidance?"

"Hey, what's there to advise? It's just common knowledge."

Yun Youfeng said, "Junior brother should have already realized it. If we follow the usual methods, we cannot enter this Crimson Bright Mountain."

Ying Chan nodded, and Yun Youfeng continued, "Unless you have received the teachings from Chiming Mountain and successfully cultivated a wisp of 'Taiyao True Fire,' you can fly directly into Chiming Mountain with this true fire as a guide. Otherwise, there is only one way."

Yun Youfeng pointed upwards, and Ying Chan looked in that direction and saw another platform about a hundred feet above this place.

At the edge of the platform, directly opposite this spot, there was a bronze round gate resembling a moon gate. Its purpose was unknown. Behind it, there seemed to be palaces and pavilions, but they were not clearly visible.

If he was right, the area above should be 'Mount Chiming', but the long staircase only goes this far and there is no way to go any further.

“As you can see, there is no road between that place and here.”

Yun Youfeng said, "Only at noon, when the sun passes through the sky, will a ray of light pass through the bronze gate and fall down."

"At this point, we will fly upwards following the light of the sky and enter the Red Bright Mountain."

"This is what we jokingly call the 'Yangguan Road'."

“I see…” Ying Chan pondered, “This Yangguan Road is probably not just about flying into the mountains following the sunlight, is it?”

“Not bad.” Yun Youfeng chuckled and said, “This Yangguan Road is the first test for Chiming Mountain.”

"As you fly upwards following the light of the sky, you will feel as if you are being scorched by the true fire of the great sun, burning inside and out, and the higher you go, the more intense it becomes."

"And be careful, this feeling is by no means an illusion, and it cannot be withstood by simply holding onto the strong thought of eliminating delusions. If you cannot subdue it, you may accidentally ignite real fire!"

"At that time, although they may not die, they will inevitably suffer a great loss."

Ying Chan felt a slight chill run down his spine.

Wei Yun's words about the perilous trials were indeed true. Judging from Yun Youfeng's description, let alone learning the Crimson Bright Taiyao Innate Divine Light, simply entering the Crimson Bright Mountain was no easy task.

He pondered for a moment, then asked, "The trials of this 'Yangguan Road' are so rigorous, I wonder what the reason is?"

"Junior brother, you must know that cultivating superior Taoist arts is not only difficult, but if you do not know the right method, you may actually harm yourself."

Yun Youfeng said, "I suppose the meaning behind Yangguan Road is to obtain this."

"I see……"

Ying Chan glanced at the sky; it was still some time before noon. He then asked, "Just now, my senior brother said that you've been going to Chiming Mountain quite often lately. I wonder if you've crossed Yangguan Pass yet?"

"Cough cough."

Yun Youfeng coughed lightly: "Never..."

"However, the reason I come to Chiming Mountain so frequently is because I am not far from crossing the Yangguan Pass."

Ying Chan's eyes lit up. "Could there be some secret?"

"Is this..."

After a moment's thought, Yun Youfeng generously said, "Alright, I'll teach you the 'Ice Purification Mantra,' junior brother, please remember it well."

"what?"

Ying Chan was slightly taken aback. He had wanted to shamelessly ask for some tips, but he hadn't expected to be taught a spell for nothing. He quickly said, "How could I bear to do that?"

"What's there to be willing or unwilling about? It's just a minor incantation. In the Cangming Grotto-Heaven, one can borrow it without even needing any cultivation."

Yun Youfeng waved his hand: "Of course, it is still somewhat mysterious. I have studied it for more than ten days and my confidence in crossing the Yangguan Pass has improved a lot."

"Today I pass this on to my junior brother, hoping that you can also cross the Yangguan Pass soon."

"listen……"
