Fourth Tier Everywhere
The Five Peaks Immortal Mountain is named Qunxian, Zhixian, Meeting Immortals, Wangxian, and Gathering Immortals.
Zhongli Tianyu lived on Meeting Immortal Peak. When Chen Mobai followed him in, he had already applied in advance, and after verification, he was allowed to pass directly by the people at the foot of the mountain.
After entering, Chen Mobai discovered that although the place was sparsely populated, he could still occasionally see a few peaceful-looking cultivators on the way up the mountain.
They all greeted Zhongli Tianyu with smiles when they saw him.
Upon asking, they learned that they were all from families of the Nascent Soul stage.
"This is my classmate from university!"
Zhongli Tianyu introduced Chen Mobai. They had obviously heard of the Potential for Spirit Transmutation, and their eyes were filled with curiosity and realization.
Hello!
After exchanging greetings, Chen Mobai followed Zhongli Tianyu up the mountain.
"Most of the Nascent Soul families or forces that have left their mark on the history of the Immortal Sect have people here. In addition to guarding and protecting the relics left by their ancestors, they also make good use of this Fourth Tier Spiritual Vein."
Zhongli Tianyu began by asking why people from the Nascent Soul Clan were here.
After listening, Chen Mobai nodded slightly. Given the frugal nature of the Immortal Sect, if no one lived there, they would probably seal off all the spiritual energy of the Five Peaks Immortal Mountain.
"The mountain peak to the north is Immortal Gathering Peak, where the Ancestor Qianxing resides; to the west is Immortal Gaze Peak, where the Old Ancestor Bai Guang resides; next is Meeting Immortal Peak, which is right here; to the southeast is Immortal Will Peak; and finally, Immortals Peak."
Zhongli Tianyu began to introduce the Five Peaks Immortal Mountain, Chen Mobai looked around in the direction of his words.
The immortal mountains stretched out in a row, with clouds swirling around their peaks and springs emerging from the crevices of the rocks. They were embraced by lush green trees and pavilions, which could be vaguely seen. Although he dared not use his Void Glimpse Spiritual Eye to see them, Chen Mobai still felt an astonishing spiritual pressure.
"There have been thirteen Spirit Transmutation Ancestor in the history of the Immortal Sect, but there are only five Immortal Mountains. Therefore, each Immortal Mountain basically has traces of multiple ancestors. In addition to our Zhongli, Ancestor Xuanwu Meeting Immortal Peak also has descendants of Ancestor Xuanwu and Ancestor Guangjue."
As Zhongli Tianyu led Chen Mobai past a courtyard halfway up the mountain, he spoke.
"In other words, all the Spirit Transmutation Descendant the Immortal Sect can be found in this place."
Chen Mobai couldn't help but marvel. Although the Spirit Transmutation Ancestor of the Immortal Sect were well-known, their Spirit Transmutation Descendant had always kept a low profile, seemingly intending to downplay their presence in the public eye.
"That's not entirely true. Some ancestors were devoted to the Dao and did not Possessing the Dao partner during their lifetime, so naturally they had no descendants. For example, the Daoist temple where the Ancestor Yuanyang lived is now being managed by the Pure Yang Academy."
Zhongli Tianyu's words made Chen Mobai slap his forehead, realizing he had forgotten about such a thing.
"You are also Pure Yang Scroll cultivator. Would you be interested in visiting the Yuanyang Temple? The Five Peaks Immortal Mountain is actually a scenic area. Every year on the ancestor's birthday, people are allowed to come up the mountain to worship."
Of course, this only applies to three mountains. The two immortal mountains where the Ancestor Qianxing and the Old Ancestor Bai Guang reside are never open to the public.
"If possible, that would be best."
Chen Mobai nodded. He was very grateful to Ancestor Yuanyang. After all, without Ancestor Yuanyang revising the Pure Yang Scroll, he would have had no confidence in cultivating the Spirit Transmutation Great Law with his aptitude.
"Let me ask for you. Come to my house with me first."
Zhongli Tianyu took Chen Mobai to a large courtyard with white walls and black tiles on the mountaintop. The architecture was antique and elegant, and there were two horned tortoise statues at the entrance.
It is the family crest of the Zhongli Family, the Dragon Turtle.
After pushing open the red door, the two stepped over the threshold and entered.
Soon, a middle-aged woman came over upon hearing the sound. She had a gentle demeanor and a smile on her face.
"Auntie, do you have the contact information for the manager of Yuanyang Temple? My classmate is also a practitioner of the Pure Yang Scroll and I would like to pay him a visit."
The woman's name was Zhongli Yue, and she was in charge of the Zhongli Residence. Chen Mobai glanced at her and couldn't help but be slightly shocked.
He's Golden Core True Person! No wonder he's from the Zhongli Family, who are based at the Five Peaks Immortal Mountain. This is their true strength!
"You should let the guests rest first. I'll go to Yuanyang Temple."
Zhongli Yue spoke gently, inviting the two inside. She then instructed Zhongli Tianyu to take good care of Chen Mobai before leaving to attend to the matter.
"Thank you, Auntie!"
Chen Mobai was a polite child and immediately thanked him.
With Golden Core True Person in charge, success is assured.
Soon Zhongli Yue called. She had already arranged to play chess with the abbot, but the abbot knew they were coming to visit and had arranged for a tour guide to lead them through the Yuanyang Temple.
Zhongli Tianyu immediately took Chen Mobai over.
"It's you!"
To his surprise, upon arrival, Chen Mobai discovered that the tour guide was actually an acquaintance.
Sima Xingyu of the Pure Yang Academy.
The two were sworn enemies, but this place was special, and Chen Mobai had a powerful background, so when Sima Xingyu saw him, he only frowned.
Chen Mobai: "You're here to Open Up Golden Core Domain too?"
Although the Immortal Sect cannot freely check other people's cultivation levels, when they first saw Sima Xingyu in the Lesser Red Heaven, he was already at the Foundation Establishment Eighth Layer. Although he later crippled himself to the Foundation Establishment Sixth Layer in order to snipe Chen Mobai, after so many years, with his talent, he must have reached the Foundation Establishment Ninth Layer.
"Hmph, I won't lose to you this time."
After hearing this, Sima Xingyu spoke in a cold tone, which was considered as confirmation of Chen Mobai's question.
"You don't actually think you can succeed in opening this door, do you?"
Zhongli Tianyu said this, glancing at Sima Xingyu and speaking sarcastically. The latter glared at him, thinking that as long as everyone failed to open up the path, he wouldn't have lost.
But Sima Xingyu couldn't say that. He glanced at Chen Mobai again, then turned and left without a word.
"Wait, we're here for a visit. I remember the abbot arranged a guide for the two of us..."
Zhongli Tianyu immediately called out to him, because if Sima Xingyu left, he would lose face.
"Come in with me, I'll only show you around once."
Sima Xingyu paused for a moment, hesitated for a second, then turned around and said expressionlessly.
On these Five Peaks Immortal Mountain, there are all people with the background of Nascent Soul, but compared to them, the two people in front of them are from the Wuqi Dao Academy, and their superior is the still-living Old Ancestor Bai Guang. The Pure Yang Academy cannot afford to offend them.
"This is Fourth Tier Spiritual Vein, so the Chief graduates from the Pure Yang Academy are basically assigned to cultivate here. However, because the number of people in Five Peaks Immortal Mountain cannot be too large, a maximum of five can come. Only after one of them reaches the Foundation Establishment Ninth Layer can the next Chief enter."
After Zhongli Tianyu led Chen Mobai into Yuanyang Temple, he began to tell Chen what he knew.
Resources are scarce on Earth Origin Star. For Foundation Establishment Cultivator, being able to cultivate above the Fourth Tier Spiritual Vein is already the best treatment the entire Immortal Sect can offer.
This is why the competition for the Chief at the Pure Yang Academy is extremely fierce.
"Light an incense stick as soon as you enter!"
At this moment, Sima Xingyu was walking at the front, spoke up and then took out two incense sticks from somewhere and handed them over.
Chen Mobai stepped over the threshold and saw that Sima Xingyu had already lit the incense in his hand, bowed three times, and then inserted it into a bronze cauldron full of incense ash.
"This is..."
Chen Mobai looked at the cauldron and was deeply moved.
"The Fourth Grade Pure Yang Cauldron of Ancestor Yuanyang has self-sealed and can only barely maintain its grade by relying on the spiritual energy here and the Spirit Stone allocated by the immortal Immortal Sect."
The person being introduced was Zhongli Tianyu, who had visited once before. As he spoke, he skillfully lit the incense in his hand.
After offering incense, Chen Mobai looked at the unremarkable bronze cauldron and barely managed to calm his wildly beating heart.
"This is the main hall, where the statue of the Ancestor is enshrined!"
Sima Xingyu seemed eager to complete his role as a tour guide as quickly as possible, and led them directly to the largest main hall of the Daoist temple.
"Could this be..."
After Chen Mobai walked over, he stopped in his tracks when he saw the dusty mirror hanging on the lintel.
"The ancestor's Fourth Grade Pure Yang Mirror lights up every morning, automatically absorbing and refining the Great Sun Purple Qi. Without anyone activating it, it will produce a stream of Pure Yang Purple Qi every ten years, benefiting many Golden Core True Person in the immortal Immortal Sect who have broken through their cultivation levels."
Sima Xingyu fulfilled his duties as a tour guide, answering Chen Mobai's questions.
"Pure Yang Purple Qi..."
Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai recalled his experience of condensing purple energy at the Immortal Sect, where the Solar Vitality he had painstakingly absorbed could not be obtained by him.
Is it because of something special about Five Peaks Immortal Mountain? But he couldn't ask that question, since it involved High-grade Spirit Stone.
"This thing belongs to the Immortal Sect. After the Pure Yang Purple Qi is condensed, the Immortal Sect will exchange it for a High-grade Spirit Stone with the Pure Yang Mirror. Because there is a reward, it is considered the best-lived among the Pure Yang Set Magic Artifact of the Ancestor Yuanyang."
At this point, Zhongli Tianyu started sabotaging things again.
Upon hearing this, a flash of anger crossed Sima Xingyu's eyes. However, what Zhongli Tianyu said was true. Although the Pure Yang Set Magic Artifact belonging to the Ancestor Yuanyang were nominally from their Pure Yang Academy, these precious Magic Artifact might have already been downgraded if it weren't for the Spirit Stone allocated by the Immortal Sect.
"Come in and pay respects to the Ancestor!"
Sima Xingyu was now only thinking about taking these two annoying guys for a walk and then sending them away.
Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai swallowed hard, suppressing the urge to steal the Fourth Grade Pure Yang Mirror. His face stiffened, and he reluctantly followed into the main hall of the Daoist temple.
Upon entering, one is greeted by a nine-meter-tall full-color statue of the Ancestor Yuanyang, whose face is so lifelike that it is clearly the work of a master. However, what catches Chen Mobai's eye the most is the robe he is wearing, embroidered with Red Sun and flame patterns.
"Pure Yang Immortal Robe!"
Without Chen Mobai to ask, Zhongli Tianyu, who had been there once before, automatically took on the role of tour guide and explained the origin of the robe.
After Chen Mobai followed Sima Xingyu to pay homage to the ancestor's statue, he began to look forward to the remaining Pure Yang Set of the Ancestor Yuanyang.
Now all that remains are the bell, the sword, and the Treasure Pearl.
The sword was the only Fifth Order in the Pure Yang Set, and Chen Mobai knew that it had already been thrown into Lesser Red Heaven by Gongye Zhixu.
"Let's go to the Bell Tower and ring the bell!"
Before he could even ask, Zhongli Tianyu had already instructed Sima Xingyu to lead the way to another place.
It should be where the Pure Yang Bell is located, right?
Thinking this, Chen Mobai followed along and, sure enough, saw a Great Bell hanging in the highest pavilion on the mountaintop.
Zhongli Tianyu bypassed Sima Xingyu and went straight to the pavilion. He picked up the thick wooden stick from which the bell was hung and struck it heavily.
Dong! The moment he heard the bell, Chen Mobai felt the complicated emotions he had caused because of the Fourth Tier Magic Tool suddenly melt away like ice and snow, and his mind became incredibly clear.
"This Pure Yang Bell can purify the Purple Mansion Sea of Consciousness Consciousness every time it is rung, but a Foundation Establishment Cultivator can only run it once."
Sima Xingyu spoke into Chen Mobai's ear.
As expected, after Zhongli Tianyu finished knocking, he sat upright on the ground of the pavilion, seemingly entering a meditative Trance State, his face solemn and dignified.
Half an hour later, Zhongli Tianyu opened his eyes. Although he looked well, he had almost no spiritual energy left and was a little weak when he walked.
"You can also try knocking it; it's quite useful for purifying Spiritual Sense."
After Zhongli Tianyu walked over, he also made a suggestion to Chen Mobai, who smiled slightly and shook his head.
He himself possessed a Morning Bell, which was also the most suitable embryonic form of his Natal Magic Tool. Over the years, its occasional ringing had refined his Spiritual Sense to perfection.
Although this Pure Yang Bell is only of the Fourth Grade, its effect is similar to that of the Morning Bell.
"Then you've basically seen everything that's available in this Daoist temple."
Zhongli Tianyu saw Chen Mobai shake his head, he shrugged, indicating that Sima Xingyu could leave. The latter pointed to the way out, said nothing more, and then disappeared from the spot.
"Isn't the Pure Yang Treasure Bead located in this Yuanyang Temple?"
After Sima Xingyu left, Chen Mobai asked Zhongli Tianyu.
"The Treasure Pearl is in Nangong Xuanyu's hands, and together with the Primordial Yang Sword, it is considered a symbol of the past principals of the Pure Yang Academy. However, he does not want to activate the Primordial Yang Sword, so he mainly uses the Treasure Pearl to comprehend the true meaning of Pure Yang."
Zhongli Tianyu was indeed very knowledgeable, and he was extremely familiar with the secrets between the Nascent Soul stage.
"With so many Fourth Tier Magic Tool just sitting there, exposed to the wind, sun, and rain, isn't there any Golden Core True Person willing to take them in and nurture them?"
Chen Mobai asked again, and Zhongli Tianyu looked at him with a strange expression.
"Golden Core True Person cultivator doesn't have enough spiritual energy to cultivate on their own. Moreover, to be compatible with these magical Magic Artifact, it would be best to be a Pure Yang Scroll cultivator. They would love to split their time in half to cultivate the Pure Yang Dharma Body, so how could they do something that would delay their own cultivation?"
After hearing this, Chen Mobai nodded with a wry smile, confirming that it was indeed true.
If the people of the Sky River Realm were to see the scene at Yuanyang Temple, they would surely be heartbroken and feel deeply aggrieved.
This is Fourth Tier Magic Tool; nobody would even pick it up if it were lying on the ground.
As the two were leaving Yuanyang Temple, Zhongli Tianyu suddenly received a phone call saying that the information he had provided about Chen Mobai was not detailed enough, and asked him to go to the property management office again to register it.
"This is such a hassle. You can wander around, I'll go."
As Zhongli Tianyu spoke, he had already left Chen Mobai behind. The latter didn't mind and slowly walked along the mountain path, admiring the scenery of the Five Peaks Immortal Mountain.
"Uncle, I'm lost. Can you take me home?"
Just as he was passing a corner, a little girl, about five or six years old, called out to him.
The little girl held a wooden figure in her hand, wearing a black dress that made her skin look snow-white. Her exquisitely sculpted face was endearing, and her eyes held a slight hint of trepidation and unease.
"May I have your name?"
For some reason, the moment Chen Mobai saw the little girl, he felt an instant connection, as if he had met a family member. He couldn't help but squat down and speak in the gentlest tone, reaching out his hand to her.
"My name is Xiao Hei."
The little girl's slightly apprehensive expression relaxed when she saw his kind face.
Then she carefully extended her right hand and grasped Chen Mobai.
"Xiao Hei? That doesn't sound like a girl's name. What's your surname?"
Chen Mobai inwardly criticized the girl's parents for giving her such a mediocre name.
Like him, Mo Bai also means black, but it sounds much more cultured.
"I don't have a surname, so I'm called Xiao Hei."
The little girl shook her head and said something that reminded Chen Mobai of Qing Nü's words.
Qing Nü also has no surname, only a given name.
Could it be...?
When Chen Mobai thought of Qing Nü's origins, he was startled and tightened his grip on the little girl's hand. But then he remembered that this was the Five Peaks Immortal Mountain, with two Spirit Transmutation Ancestor guarding it, making it the safest place in the entire Immortal Sect.
"Where do you live? Uncle will take you home."
"My house is in that direction!"
The little girl pointed westward with her left hand, holding the wooden doll.
Chen Mobai looked up and was slightly surprised.
Isn't that the Immortal Gaze Peak of the Old Ancestor Bai Guang? "No one lives over there, Xiao Hei, are you sure you're looking in the right direction?"
"Maybe so. I ran away secretly. My mother-in-law is very strict and doesn't let me go down the mountain."
After hearing Chen Mobai's words, the little girl pouted and nodded, realizing that she had run for a long time and might have really gone in the wrong direction.
