Outside the gates of the Heaven-Dominating Sect!
Dozens of the Grandmaster Realm or above, and even some at the Martial King Realm, along with tens of thousands of disciples of the Heaven-Dominating Sect, all bowed their heads and knelt before the extremely young-looking man in the void. The scene was truly awe-inspiring.
Some martial artists who did not belong to the Heaven-Dominating Sect were all stunned by this scene, their mouths agape, their steps instinctively halting, and suppressed exclamations rising and falling around them.
In the void!
Standing beside Chen An, Shen Zongyue and the other two were equally moved by the sight of tens of thousands of martial artists bowing down at the same time.
Thunder Spirit, perched on his shoulder, swayed its tail listlessly, ignoring the thunderous worship below. It simply squinted its beastly eyes lazily and gently rubbed its little head against Chen An's neck.
"No need for formalities, please rise!"
Chen An's expression did not change much. With a wave of his right hand, a gentle and invisible force surged out. Subsequently, whether it was the Great Grandmaster Realm and Martial King Realm in the void, or the tens of thousands of disciples bowing down below, they all felt as if a gentle yet resilient force enveloped their entire bodies, and then they involuntarily stood up.
Once the entire arena fell silent, Chen An slowly swept his gaze over the disciples and elders of the mountain before speaking in a deep voice, "I, Chen An, broke through to the Martial Emperor Realm realm a few days ago. Invited by the Emperor Cang, I have joined the Heaven-Dominating Sect as a Supreme Elder. From now on, I am willing to work together with the entire sect to protect the Human Race's territory, safeguard the sect's heritage, and forge ahead on the path of martial arts!"
"Haha, what a great unity of purpose among the sect members! Protecting the territory of the Human Race and safeguarding the sect's heritage! It is an honor for our Heaven-Dominating Sect Heaven-Dominating Sect to invite Brother Chen to join us, and it is also an honor for this old man!" Cang Wanli laughed heartily from the side.
"I will obey His Majesty's decree!" Xue Changfeng said, bowing at the opportune moment.
"I will obey His Majesty's decree!"
Tens of thousands of disciples responded in unison, their voices booming and echoing through the mountains for a long time.
"Preparations for the grand ceremony are of utmost importance. Elders and disciples, please fulfill your duties and there is no need for you to gather here. Elder Chen has traveled a long way, so the sect leader and I can accompany him!" Cang Wanli said loudly, raising his hand.
"Yes!"
The elders and deacons bowed in agreement and dispersed one after another, some directing the arrangements for the banquet, others tidying up the defenses of the mountain gate. The scene of busy order gradually returned to normal in front of the mountain gate.
Everyone kept glancing up in the direction of the sect, whispering among themselves, marveling at the young Supreme Elder within the sect.
"Brother Chen, come with me. I've already had Changfeng arrange for you to stay at Thunderpeak. Take a look first, and if you're not satisfied, then let me know!" Cang Wanli said to Chen An.
"Alright, then I'll trouble Brother Cang and Sect Leader Xue!" Chen An nodded and said.
"I wouldn't dare. You may simply call me Changfeng, Your Excellency!"
Although he knew he was hundreds of years older than Chen An, Xue Changfeng dared not act arrogantly because of his age, nor did he dare to put on airs as the sect leader of the Heaven-Dominating Sect in front of Chen An. He quickly bowed respectfully.
"Okay!" Chen An didn't stand on ceremony and nodded.
"Your Excellency Cang, Your Excellency Chen, please follow me!"
Accompanied by Xue Changfeng and Cang Wanli, Chen An and the Shen Family family set off together into the sky towards the Heaven-Dominating Sect.
Along the way, Cang Wanli and Xue Changfeng also took the opportunity to introduce the structure and organization of the Heaven-Dominating Sect to them.
After the Heaven-Dominating Sect's explanation, Chen An finally understood why the Heaven-Dominating Sect was known as a holy land of martial arts.
It's not simply a matter of relying on the unique, dense, almost liquefied spiritual energy of the Vast Wilds Mountain Range, which is suitable for cultivators to meditate, cultivate diligently, and break through realms.
The sect's profound foundation is beyond ordinary people's imagination.
The sect has a total of over a million disciples, both outer and inner. The entire Vast Wilds Mountain Range is divided into seventy-two main peaks, with three hundred and sixty exclusive auxiliary peaks extending outwards. In addition, tens of thousands of large and small surrounding mountains are all under the sect's jurisdiction.
Deep within the mountains lie medicinal valleys and ancient medicinal fields of varying sizes, where countless ancient and precious herbs and rare old medicines grow naturally.
They also specially opened up a vast hunting ground for ferocious beasts, tamed many different kinds of monsters, and provided their disciples with opportunities to train in combat and hone their fighting skills.
Even underground, there are top-tier Yuan Crystal earth veins that run deep through the core of the entire Vast Wilds Mountain Range, constantly gushing forth pure essence to supply the cultivation needs of high-level martial artists.
With its own resources, resources, formations, weapons, alchemy workshops, weapon workshops, training halls, and punishment halls, each with its own responsibilities, strict laws and regulations, and self-sufficient taxes, the city and post roads connect the entire Cang Prefecture region. Its operational system is complete and comprehensive, making it virtually a small, independent kingdom.
" Yuan Crystal Earth Vein?!"
Upon hearing Xue Changfeng's introduction, a strange light suddenly flashed in Chen An's eyes, whose expression had been calm and composed.
Seeing that Chen An seemed interested, a glint of light flashed in Cang Wanli's murky eyes.
He suddenly remembered that during a previous investigation into Chen An's past, it seemed that Chen An was quite obsessed with Yuan Crystal?!
The investigators mentioned that before Chen An revealed his cultivation level, when he became Beigong Mo's disciple, he did not choose cultivation resources, but instead chose eight million Yuan Crystal.
In addition, it is suspected that he previously agreed to a bet with a spoiled young master from the eldest branch of the Shen Family in exchange for one million Yuan Crystal.
In addition, it seems that the Essence Marrow Jade Ganoderma Fruit that Xuan Zhantian gave him will be auctioned off in the next two days, and it was also mentioned that only Yuan Crystal will be accepted.
"This Yuan Crystal ley line was discovered by our Heaven-Dominating Sect's third-generation patriarch through surveying the heavens and earth. It is said that the seventh-generation patriarch was a Yuan Earth Master!"
Cang Wanli pondered for a moment, then picked up where Xue Changfeng left off, and slowly said to Chen An, "This Yuan Crystal Earth Vein stretches for nearly two thousand miles, spewing out countless amounts of pure Yuan Qi from heaven and earth every year for high-level martial artists to cultivate. It is an important foundation for our Heaven-Dominating Sect to spread for tens of thousands of years!"
"A Yuan Dynasty geomancer?!"
Noticing the three words Cang Wanli said, Chen An raised an eyebrow and turned to look at Cang Wanli.
"Indeed, the Yuan Di Shi is a special profession that has been passed down since ancient times, different from martial artists, alchemists, and weapon refiners!"
Cang Wanli nodded slightly, knowing that Chen An had been traveling alone for many years and knew very little about these unorthodox ancient traditions. He paused for a moment before continuing, "Ordinary Yuan masters can only find mines and veins, and determine yin and yang by observing feng shui. But true Yuan geomancers can observe the movement of stars, explore the origin of earth veins, discern the trends of mountains and rivers, find ancient hidden places, and avoid evil spirits."
"Even more powerful ones can draw upon the torrent of primordial energy within the entire primordial vein, using the power of heaven and earth to set up unparalleled formations. They truly possess the ability to change the world and move mountains and rivers. Even a great power surpassing the Martial Emperor Realm can be suppressed!"
"And it is said that above the Yuan Earth Master is the Yuan Celestial Master."
"It is said that the Celestial Master Yuan can even communicate with the will of heaven and earth, draw upon the power of the stars to empower himself, and with a wave of his hand, he can move stars and change constellations, pluck stars from the sky and seize the moon, and break through the cycle of life and death!"
