Chapter 151: Kexin Peak

  The third watch!

  ——

  Whoosh!

  A streak of light flashed and disappeared in the sky, hiding in the vast flowing clouds and mountains.

  Chen Xiao only felt a rumble, and then a stream of air enveloped him, the surrounding scenery was blurred, the scene in front of him was distorted into ripples, before he could react, he suddenly appeared on top of a mountain peak.

  "Is this the Space Shifting Technique?" Chen Xiao's gaze swept around the surrounding peaks, and he couldn't help but be shocked. He had already arrived at the entrance of the Flowing Cloud Sword Sect! To think that from the vicinity of the Floating Pagoda Trial Tower to the Flowing Cloud Mountain Range was a distance of over 10,000 miles, yet in just a few breaths, he had traversed nearly 30,000 miles?

  The Space Shift Technique, also known as Instant Shift, is a technique that only the Great Masters of the Broken Realm can master. When cultivated to the extreme, one step can span thousands of miles, extremely formidable.

  That's why the Earth Immortal can cast the spell, it's because after the Earth Immortal cultivator has gone through the heavenly tribulation, the true yuan in their body will gradually transform into immortal energy, and only with immortal energy can they drive such a powerful spell.

  "Little brother, how's the mountain peak I've chosen for you?" Beiheng pointed to the mountain peak below, smiling.

  "Bei Heng treated me with great kindness, and the majesty of this mountain peak has exceeded my imagination." Chen Tai raised his eyes and saw that the entire mountain was serene and elegant, its momentum like a sword, piercing through the clouds. On the mountain peak, five palaces were built, shining with golden light, pavilions, towers, lush forests, and bamboo groves, all looking brand new.

  "In the mortal world, it would take tens of thousands of people working for decades to build such a palace on this mountain peak. But in our sect, it can be built in just a few months." Chen Xuan sighed.

  "This is the method of the immortal, moving mountains and filling seas, plucking stars and stealing moons, transforming decay into wonder, possessing all sorts of heavenly abilities that surpass the imagination of ordinary people. It's precisely because of this that people in the world are so obsessed with seeking immortality and asking about the Tao, yearning to ascend to heaven in one step, rising straight up to the blue clouds." Beiheng said with a smile. As they spoke, the two had already arrived at the palace at the highest point of the mountain peak.

  Suddenly, many young disciples came out and bowed their heads in respect, "Greetings to the Supreme Ancestor, greetings to Chen Tai, the Supreme Uncle Ancestor."

  These are all inner disciples of the Flowing Cloud Sword Sect, not to be compared with true transmission disciples, but also higher than outer disciples by one level, each and every one is in the Xiantian realm cultivation, the fierce ones have already advanced to the stage of Zifu.

  Bei Heng arranged for them to come and serve Chen Yu's daily life, after all, on the vast mountain peak, there are palaces, medicine fields, alchemy rooms, and elixir rooms that need people to take care of. With these inner door disciples doing chores, Chen Yu only needs to focus on his cultivation and won't waste time on trivial matters.

  Seeing so many people bowing to him, including some who were even older than himself, Chen Xiao felt a mix of emotions and wanted to take out some gifts to give them. However, he thought about the two small eaters in his storage ring who had devoured all sorts of treasures, and the storage bags he had looted from the Floating Tower's trial tower that he hadn't even sorted through yet. Suddenly, he didn't know what to give, and his brow furrowed in embarrassment.

  Beiheng Ren grew old and wise, how could he not see what Chen Tang was thinking in his heart? With a wave of his sleeve, each disciple was given a bottle of foundation-building dan used to consolidate the foundation. "You all serve me well with this brother, and there will be great benefits waiting for you in the future, just look at your performance."

  "The disciples remembered the teachings of their ancestors and bowed down to pay their respects!"

  "Little brother, take a look at this mountain peak, what's still missing?" Bei Heng waved his hand and these disciples all dispersed, entering the largest palace with Chen Tai.

  "That's enough, I'm focused on my cultivation, and I don't pay much attention to external things. Brother Bei Heng's arrangement has already made me feel honored." Chen Tai smiled and said. He was indeed speaking from the heart, for cultivators, the pursuit of the great way is to ascend to the heavens, to live as long as heaven and earth, to roam freely with heaven and earth, compared to this, everything else is just fleeting clouds, not worth mentioning.

  "How wonderful! With your temperament, it's only a matter of time before you achieve great things." Beiheng laughed loudly and said, "Right, this peak will be the place where you cultivate and comprehend the Tao from now on. Why don't you give it a name?"

  "What's the name?" Chen Xiao thought for a moment, suddenly remembering a phrase that Ji Yu and Fu Xi had also said: "Conform to the heavenly way, guard your original heart." He immediately said: "Let's call it Qianxin Peak."

  "Good name!" Beiheng seemed to be deeply moved by this, and sighed: "The way of heaven is vast and unpredictable, I and other cultivators have our hearts set on the Tao, but the road is rugged, with thorns and demonic obstacles everywhere. How many people lose their way and fall? Too many, really too many..."

  After chatting for a while longer, Bei Heng bid farewell and left.

  Chen Yao looked around his residence, quiet room, alchemy room, pill refining room, medicine field, spiritual beast palace... and then returned to the main hall, summoning the 72 inner disciples who were doing chores on Kexin Peak.

  Among these seventy-two inner disciples, there were thirty-six males and thirty-six females. Two of them had reached the first star of the Violet Palace realm, while most of the others were hovering around the Pre-Heavenly Completion boundary.

  Two people advanced to the Purple Mansion Realm. One was a handsome young man, polite and courteous, with bright eyes that seemed clever and resourceful. His name was Dong Fang. The other was a woman of elegant appearance, gentle and mature in her movements, warm and refined, with an uncommon temperament. Her name was Wang Wan.

  "I will focus on my cultivation, and in the future, I will entrust you with handling all internal and external affairs of the entire Kehsin Peak. I hope that while handling affairs, you will also diligently cultivate and practice, and not delay your own journey."

  Chen Xiao sank into thought and said, "Dong Fang, you take thirty-five male disciples to be in charge of managing clothing, goods, purchasing various necessities when going down the mountain, and also have them take care of guarding the mountain gate and transmitting messages."

  "Yes!" Dong Fang bowed his head and accepted the order.

  "Wang Wan, you will lead thirty-five female disciples in charge of sweeping the Dan room, taking care of the medicine field, and raising spiritual birds."

  "Yes!" Wang Wan bowed and said.

  "Alright, as long as you all perform well at Kexin Peak, I will suggest that Master Ling Kongzi heavily reward you, and even consider promoting you to a true disciple, core disciples are not impossible either. However, if any of you commit unforgivable mistakes, I will be the first to deal with you!" Chen Tai said in a deep voice.

  It is said that without rules and regulations, it's hard to achieve perfection. If things are too free and disorderly, it's easy for trouble to arise, which is something Chen Ting absolutely does not want to see. He understands that his current position in the Flowing Cloud Sword Sect is extremely special, relying entirely on the prestige of North Heng. Even the sect leader, Ling Kongzi, has to show him deference. If he doesn't keep these disciples in check, they might take advantage of his prestige and do as they please.

  "Disciple obeys." Seeing Chen's gentle yet firm demeanor, with rewards and punishments clearly defined, everyone present couldn't help but feel a chill in their hearts, bowing to accept the order.

  Chen Xiao waved his hand and let them disperse, then walked into his own quiet room. His heart moved, a pagoda floated in his hand.

  The tower is divided into eight layers, the whole body is pure white like jade, emitting a peaceful and serene atmosphere, but it is dead and lacks a bit of spirituality.

  This object is actually a Floating Pagoda Trial Tower, a damaged and ruined, spiritless magical artifact!

  When conquering this tower, Chen Xiao had already realized that the tower was not divided into four layers: eight trigrams, four images, two instruments, and Taiji. Instead, it had eight layers. Under the eight trigrams layer, there were still four more layers. Each layer was an independent space, each space was a small world, larger than what he saw in the Floating Tower during the Hidden Dragon Ranking Competition, even more vast and boundless.

  Although the tower has been subdued, Chen Xiao can't grasp its usage method until it's fully repaired. For now, all he can do is put some items into the treasure tower and take them out, just like using a storage bag.

  Of course, the space inside the treasure pagoda is much larger than any storage treasure, enough to hold a river thousands of miles long, countless mountain peaks, and there is no need to worry about insufficient space.

  Moreover, this tower can be stored in the Zifu space, and its concealment is much stronger than that of storage rings and other treasures. Unless Chen Xuan is killed, no one can obtain anything from within the treasure tower.

  "Ling Bai, do you know of any way to repair a magical artifact?" Chen Tai furrowed his brow and said, treating the artifact as if it were a storage treasure. He felt that he was being wasteful with heaven's gifts, and if word got out, he would probably be laughed to death.

  "If I had known, I would have already become the world's unparalleled Grandmaster of Refining Instruments." Ling Bai chuckled and sat cross-legged in mid-air, staring at the treasure pagoda as he asked, "Chen Xiao, since this divine instrument is an empty shell, why not let me eat it?"

  "Roar!" Bai Kui let out a dissatisfied roar, as if he also wanted a share.

  "Stop messing around, I'm talking about something serious." Chen Xiao helplessly glanced at the two foodies and shook his head, saying: "It seems that it can't be repaired for now, so we can only use it as a storage treasure."

  "Why are you in such a hurry to repair it?" Ling Bai reminded: "Even if you can repair it now, but with your cultivation, you won't be able to use it. This is an immortal artifact, and only a broken calamity celestial being who possesses a hint of the celestial spirit's energy can barely wield one or two moves. To fully unleash its power, unless you reach the heavenly celestial realm."

  One sentence woke up the dreamer, Chen Ting slapped his forehead: "This is indeed a problem." Having said that, he completely lost interest in studying the pagoda and began to sort out the spoils of war from this participation in the Dragon Ranking Competition.

  Splash!

  A huge pile of treasure had formed a small mountain, these treasure bags, some were obtained from the young master of the Xie family, some were obtained after annihilating ninety-six elite sons of the Su family, and some were obtained from those thirty-two demon spirit guards...... densely packed, with as many as one hundred and thirteen pieces!

  "Wow, I'm rich! How long can this last?" Ling Bai suddenly dived into the pile of storage treasures, closing her eyes in bliss. Bai Jue also dug into the small mountain of treasure, jumping around lively.

  Chen Yu rubbed his forehead, looked up at the sky speechlessly, and the great sense of gain in his heart suddenly dissipated, disappearing without a trace.

  Finally, Chen Yao gritted his teeth and threw the two gluttons into the pagoda first. Only then did he dare to open various storage magic tools to count the spoils of war. There was no other way, if these two gluttons were present, they might have snatched away some good treasures. Ling Bai eating them would be fine, as it could supplement his cultivation. But if Bai Kui ate them, that would truly be a case of throwing a meat bun at a dog, with no return!
