My heart felt extremely uncomfortable. My tightly closed eyes couldn't stop the tears from gushing out. However, other than my heart filled with reluctance and grief, there was also a trace of confusion and loneliness. There was also helplessness. After a long while, the white-clothed Immortal who was flying with me saw that I was sad, so he advised, "Don't cry anymore. There is always a banquet in this world. Leaving early might not be a bad thing …"

Seeing that I was still in tears, the young man seemed to be at a loss. "What is your name?" he asked me.

I suppressed the pain in my heart and replied choked with sobs, "My name is Zhang Fugui."

Of course, I couldn't guess, so I couldn't help but be curious. I heard the young man chuckle, "My name is Chen Dafu, isn't it more vulgar than your name?"

I couldn't help but laugh. This smile eased the grief in my heart a lot. "Say, your real name. Will you stop calling yourself by your original name once you become an immortal?"

"Yes, I haven't been calling my original name since I started on this path, because my master is called Adept Qiu Xi, so I've come up with a new name, Qiu Hong." Yes, I've been using my new name, because my master is called Adept Qiu Xi, so I've come up with a new name, Qiu Hong, because many people are using their Dao names, and of course, many people still use their names.

"Yes." I nodded. "Then, what about him?"

Just now, the other young man gave me a very cold and heartless feeling. Naturally, I had some grudges towards him in my heart.

"He … he's my senior brother, the head disciple of my master. His name is Qiu Xuan, and he's one of the top three youths in our sect!" Senior brother Qiu Hong's tone was filled with respect and envy. I couldn't help but feel displeased.

"What about you?"

Upon hearing my question, Senior Qiu Hong mocked himself, "Hur Hur, how can I compare to him?" After which, he shook his head.

However, hearing his tone, I didn't feel any sense of inferiority or unwillingness. After a long while, I couldn't help but ask, "Senior Brother Qiu Hong, how long have you been an immortal? Did you ever go home? "

Senior Brother Qiu Hong was obviously surprised, and after a long while, he spoke slowly as if he was talking to himself, "Hehe, home? Do you have a home!? "

"Sigh, I have been on the road of cultivation for more than ten years. Home? I have forgotten where my home is, and we are not allowed to go home! "

I was stunned and abruptly opened my eyes. The astral wind made my tears flow. I hastily shut my eyes tightly and asked anxiously, "Why can't I go home?"

"Haha, Master set a rule that unless he allows it, you must not go out on your own. What you're afraid of is being entangled by the secular world and affecting your dao heart. If you can't behead the demon in your heart, then you can't become an immortal!"

"So, cultivation to become an immortal is to have no family, and to live a lonely life …"

Immortal Ascension is eternal life. So what if it is a mere kinship? It doesn't matter if it is cut off!

I was stunned. "If you weren't happy, could you have endured thousands of years of loneliness?"

When senior brother Qiu Hong heard this, he did not reply and chose to remain silent.

I don't know how long I flew for, but I felt the whistling sound by my ear never stop. Just as I was about to open my eyes to steal a peek, the whistling sound of the wind stopped.

"Alright, open your eyes."

When I opened my eyes, what entered my sight was an extremely large hall. There were hundreds of stone steps at the entrance, and my entire body was snow-white and sparkling. I no longer knew what material was used to create it. As I stood in front of the stone steps, I understood what it meant to be imposing and I felt very small.

Looking at my shocked expression, Senior Brother Qiu Hong smiled in satisfaction. Senior Qiu Xuan's cold voice rang out at the wrong time. "To the thirteenth peak!"

I was stunned.

"The thirteenth mountain peak is the mountain where Master is. Since you've been taken in by him, you naturally have to go there." Senior Qiu Hong saw that I was confused, so he answered my question.

"Oh, oh..." Senior Qiu Xuan ignored me, grabbed my arm, and flew away. Senior Brother Qiu Xuan didn't fly very fast, so without that cold astral wind, I could open my eyes and look around.

Lin Youhe, Lin Yemao, and the other Senior Brothers and Sisters who passed by this part of the Sky Sect, they were all envious of me. They were arranged in an orderly manner, worthy of being called a land of immortals. From what senior brother Qiu Hong said, I already found out that Elder Qiu Xi was one of the pillars of the Sky Sect, and I was also its third disciple. Although I was a disciple, I still had to go through a trial before being officially accepted into the sect.

Senior Brother Qiu Xuan took me to the 13th Peak, but left me there to report to the local authorities, and then left. It was a good thing that the senior brother in charge of the registration had given him pointers and finally found his assigned residence and practice area. He had even gotten a bag of clothes. It was three or four sets of clothes that had been changed.

My room was pretty good, because it was taken in by the elder himself, so I didn't have to squeeze into a room with the others. It was a lot more free, but it was also a bit lonely. The room was not very spacious. It was about one zhang wide and two zhang long. There was a skylight which looked very much like a cage. There was a hidden ladder at the end of the room, which led to a training room with a radius of about 20 feet. The walls were made of some unknown stone, but it was extremely hard to the touch. However, there was nothing in the room. There was only a praying mat and an incense burner … Senior brother Lu told me that I had to go to the training grounds to practice martial arts every morning until the time of the challenge. Every day, I would also be provided with food, but it was only fruits. As for today, it was already past the afternoon.

The time of solitude was the time to think about home, which made him even more annoyed. After the time limit passed, I heard someone knocking on the door. I was extremely agitated. I didn't know which senior brother had come to preach. When I opened the door to take a look, I saw a thin boy about my age wearing the clothes of the Sky Sect. He was holding a plate of unknown fruits in his hand.

"Greetings Senior Apprentice Brother!" I hastily bowed. Since I have just arrived at this place, even a little boy who was carrying a plate would have more seniority than me.

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" The little boy's body trembled. He quickly put down the plate and bowed in fear. "Junior apprentice brother Hui Sha, you are just an outer disciple of the Sky Sect. How could you accept such a big gift?"

"Eh …" In a foreign land, it wasn't easy to meet a fellow student of the same grade. My heart was overjoyed as I hurriedly took the plate and said, "Fugui has just arrived. I don't know your name, but there are many rules here."

Seeing that I did not put on airs, the little boy was relieved, but he still hesitated and said, "I am called Chen Ah Hu, but I am only a lowly outer disciple of the Sky Sect. I am responsible for sending some fruits every day."

Speaking of fruits, I was surprised. I didn't recognize any of these fruits, so I humbly asked for advice. "Erm, I don't recognize any of these fruits. Can you tell me more about them?"

Hearing my words, Chen Ah Hu also laughed, as if he was proud of himself.

"Speaking of this fruit, I am very clear about it! Look, this yellow-skinned fruit is called the autumn orchid fruit, eating it can provide some spiritual energy to the body and help strengthen one's body, and this azure-red half-moon fruit is also called the Crescent Moon Fruit, it can recover one's strength, ordinary people can eat it for a day and not eat it for a day, and here … "

This conversation lasted for more than half an hour. The gap between the two gradually filled as they became friends that could talk about anything. I slowly came to understand from his mouth that he came here on his own accord. He originally wanted to be a chef, but due to his spiritual roots, he was forcefully captured more than two years ago.

Of course, I'm also curious why this immortal gate would act like a bandit to take in disciples. Ah Hu only said that the Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth had become thinner, and there were fewer and fewer people with Spiritual Roots.

There are many disciples in each mountain, and once the cultivation has met the requirements set by the Peak Master, they can leave the mountain for a few years to gain experience, or even go out for a few years. But the seventh mountain is not good, because Qiu Xi has cultivated the heartless path, so unless he has permission, we cannot go down the mountain, but it is extremely difficult to get approval from him.

I suddenly recalled that Qiu Hong said that he never returned home after twenty years. Could it be that I will have to wait for dozens of years?

Seeing that the sky was about to turn dark, Chen Ah Hu quickly said goodbye. These outer sect disciples have a lot of chores to do every day, unlike me, who was called in by the elders, but I can't be happy no matter how I look at it.

When night falls, I walked out of the door and looked up at the night sky. The Sky Sect does not allow weak disciples like us to run around, not to mention that I am still just a mortal.

It was unknown if the sky was exceptionally clear tonight, or if this immortal Blessed Land was originally like this. The vast sky of stars lit up the land. I can't help but think of the past. Father and mother hugged me together with several stars in the sky. At that time, I was still naively asking if there is a legendary immortal living on top of the stars. I don't know what Mom and Dad are doing right now. Do you miss me, does Mom have a weak body, and will you cry until you pass out again, and Little Fatty at the village entrance, is he holding candy and not being able to hear the story, or is he still being lectured by his mother? Where's Mister, are you still suffering from that painful memory, and Little Yu, did you change her name with her dog … I don't know when the tears will fall onto the ground, but I didn't notice it. I was just lost in my thoughts and drifted back to my hometown I don't know which way I came from … " "Rich son, come in …"

Grandpa Sun's voice! Why is Grandpa Sun here?

I was stunned for a moment. Then I turned around and ran back into the house.

Returning to the room, I saw Grandpa Sun standing by the bed, smiling at me.

"Are you homesick …"

I nodded.

"Sigh, this is fate. It can't be changed." Grandpa Sun shook his head. No need to think about home, your parents and the villagers, I have already erased their memories. "

Hearing that the most important person in my life has completely forgotten about me, for a moment, I don't know whether to laugh or cry. The corners of my mouth twitch, but tears are already flowing down.

"I don't have time left …" Grandpa Sun continued, his voice full of exhaustion and helplessness, "In the future, you have to properly leave your life."

What do you mean? It sounded like his last words!

Seeing my surprised face, Grandpa Sun smiled. "I should have died a long time ago. I just waited until now."

Immortal, isn't Immortals immortal? How could Grandpa Sun die?!

I opened my mouth, but no words came out.

"In the future, perhaps one day, you will understand."

Grandpa Sun sighed. His eyes were filled with kindness as he looked at me. "Perhaps you hate me. I was the one who pulled you into this world."

Hatred? I don't hate it anymore. If hate could reduce my pain, I wouldn't be in such pain.

"Rich son." Grandpa Sun raised his head and looked at the night sky outside the window. He lightly smiled, and traces of flames came out from his body.

"Fire!" It's on fire! " Looking at Grandpa Sun's entire body covered in fire, I was terrified, but there was nothing I could do.

But on Grandpa Sun's face, there was relief and an expression of enjoyment. Seeing him in such a state, I panicked and stood rooted to the spot.

"Keep walking. We, will meet again …"

The fire was extinguished very quickly. Grandpa Sun was burnt away, leaving behind a fist-sized ball of light that floated in the air. Everything that happened today gave me a shock that numbed me and made my heart fall into chaos. Grandpa Sun is dead. Actually, I didn't really hate him when he died.

Trembling, I wanted to touch the ball of light with my fingertip, but the ball of light moved extremely quickly from my arm to my head. I only felt an explosion in my head.
