"You are also a reincarnated immortal?"

A cold voice rang in his ears, and in a daze, Zhou Hao seemed to see a glimmer of hope in Yun Yuchan's eyes.

"No," Zhou Hao replied telepathically.

If we consider past lives, then yes, I have been reincarnated, but I am not an immortal.

I guess... he can't be considered a reincarnated immortal.

After receiving a response, Yun Yuchan withdrew her divine sense, but a hint of disappointment flashed in her eyes.

Sudden--

The surrounding clouds and mist paused for a moment, then began to slowly dissipate.

The scene before everyone's eyes gradually became clearer.

They discovered that they were inside a tower-shaped formation that was about a hundred feet high and incredibly complex.

The entire magic array emitted a hazy gray light. Its frame was made of metal and engraved with a large number of runes, densely covering this tower-shaped array that was about a hundred feet tall.

"This is a teleportation tower array?" Liu Yu exclaimed in surprise.

"Is this the teleportation array?" Zhou Hao asked curiously, examining it.

At this moment, a faint white light still lingered at the tip of the tower-shaped array, not yet completely dissipated.

"I used it once with my sister when I went from Great Wild City to Guangling City," Liu Yu Yulian said. "Teleportation tower arrays are only found in the main city directly under the Xia Clan royal family and the county cities of each prefecture."

In Guangling Prefecture, only a very small number of people from the Yinglong Guard and the Marquis of Guangling's Estate were entitled to use it; I never expected to find it here as well.

Zhou Hao nodded. It seemed that the unusual spatial fluctuations he had just sensed were due to the teleportation.

At that moment, a gentle voice echoed inside the metal tower.

"Come out, everyone."

Swish!

One wall of the enclosed metal tower opened up, and the crowd filed out.

They were currently atop a thousand-foot-tall mountain peak, with a hundred-foot-tall metal tower-shaped teleportation array behind them.

Before them stood a mountain peak three thousand feet high.

The mountain peaks are covered with evergreen pines and cypresses, and cascading waterfalls and flowing springs.

One after another, cave dwellings and courtyards are nestled on the mountainside.

At the very top of that extremely high mountain peak stood a magnificent and splendid palace.

"Is this the Mystic Heaven Upper Sect?" Zhou Hao looked at the mountain peaks not far away.

"That is Fool's Peak, the place where you outer disciples will live and cultivate for the next ten years," the gentle voice from the teleportation tower array rang out.

Zhou Hao turned around and saw that in front of the metal tower, besides two simply dressed elderly men, there was also a young man in a blue robe.

"My name is Yan Xun, and I am your senior brother who guides you in the outer sect," the man in the green robe said with a smile.

"Greetings, Senior Brother Yan Xun." Everyone clasped their hands in greeting.

The man in the green robe Yan Xun, nodded to the crowd.

"Let's go, I'll take you to the Golden Platform Palace first. The other newly initiated disciples have already arrived."

After he finished speaking, he waved his hand, and a black flying boat appeared in front of everyone.

Yan Xun boarded the flying boat first and urged the others to hurry up.

"Today is your first day at the academy, and there's a lot to do, so don't waste time."

Soon, the flying boat soared into the sky, heading towards the summit of Fool's Peak.

Upon arriving at the palace atop Fool's Peak, the flying boat landed on a Qingshi plaza.

As Zhou Hao stepped off the flying boat, he was awestruck by the spectacular sight before him.

Previously, at the teleportation tower array, with Fool's Peak blocking the way, I didn't think much of it.

At this moment, Zhou Hao stood on the summit of Fool's Peak, with a wide-open view in front of him. As far as the eye could see, there was a vast, continuous mountain range that stretched as far as the eye could see.

There are twelve towering peaks, each twice the height of Fool's Peak, reaching over six thousand zhang in height.

Further away, surrounded by twelve mountain peaks, a towering main peak, over ten thousand feet high, pierces the sky. Amidst the swirling clouds and mist, one can vaguely see an incomparably dazzling palace.

"This must be the true Mystic Heaven Upper Sect."

Zhou Hao said quietly, a smile appearing on his face.

Not only him, but everyone else who came with him was also shocked by this sudden and extraordinary sight.

"Senior Brother Yan Xun, what are those mountains?" Yan Huisou asked in a low voice.

"Those twelve peaks are the twelve inner peaks of our Mysterious Heaven Sect. The highest main peak is Profound Pole Peak, and the palace on its summit is the ' Profound Heaven Palace '."

Yan Xun knew that most of the newly initiated disciples were full of curiosity about the sect, so he gave a brief introduction to everyone.

"Alright, after you've sworn your initiation blood oath, you'll know everything you need to know. Now, come in with me."

Yan Xun headed towards the palace atop the mountain, and Zhou Hao and the others quickly followed.

The three large characters ' Golden Platform Palace ' on the plaque hanging above the palace gleamed brightly.

Inside the main hall of the Golden Platform Palace, there were already more than thirty people waiting. When they saw Zhou Hao and his group enter, many of them cast curious glances at them.

A bald old man dressed in gold sat high in the main seat, looking down below.

"Golden Platform Elder, all the new outer disciples from the Xia Clan Great World have arrived," Yan Xun, bowing to the bald old man.

"Hmm." The bald old man, Golden Platform Elder, nodded slightly.

Yan Xun then arranged for Zhou Hao and the others to stand on the right side of the main hall.

After Golden Platform Elder and everyone else had taken their places, he said, "From this day forward, you will all be considered outer disciples of my Mysterious Heaven Sect."

Many people in the hall wore smiles, and even Zhou Hao couldn't help but feel joy in his heart.

"But this is only the beginning of the trial. If you fail the inner sect assessment ten years from now, you will still have to leave and will not be able to stay in the Mysterious Heaven Sect."

Golden Platform Elder's voice echoed throughout the hall, causing the joy that had just risen in everyone's hearts to falter, and their hearts to grow heavy.

"As is customary, the outer disciples of the seven major sects of the Profound Heaven Realm enter the Southern Academy."

"Those who pass the test at the mountain gate will enter the North Academy."

" In the Xia Clan Great World, the outer disciples of the Five Veins of the East Sea enter the West Academy."

With Golden Platform Elder sent dozens of streaks of light flying toward all the disciples in the main hall.

Zhou Hao reached out and took it, and saw that it was a white token with writing on both sides.

On one side is the character "", and on the other side is the character "Xuan Tian".

"The token contains the introductory blood oath. Once you've sworn the oath, you can refine the token, which marks your formal entry into the sect," Golden Platform Elder continued after everyone had received their tokens. "Begin swearing your oaths."

Zhou Hao's divine sense seeped into the command talisman, and sure enough, a passage of text entered his mind.

He read it carefully and found it to be nothing more than something like "willingly joining the Mysterious Heaven Sect and abiding by its rules".

Since every disciple who enters the Mysterious Heaven Sect is willing to receive gifts, it is clearly quite fair.

The only slightly unusual part is that the oath stipulates that everything within the Mysterious Heaven Sect must never be revealed to outsiders.

However, after so long, Zhou Hao had already gotten used to the mystery surrounding the Mysterious Heaven Sect.

"If we don't want to disclose it, then we don't need to disclose it."

Without further hesitation, he made a vow to Heavenly Dao in accordance with its contents.

Dozens of people took an oath together, and a mysterious, ancient aura enveloped the entire hall, making the atmosphere even more solemn and dignified.

After everyone had finished swearing their Heavenly Dao Blood Oath, Golden Platform Elder nodded in satisfaction.

"Very well. My Mysterious Heaven Sect belongs to the Dao Sect. Now that you have joined, you should have Daoist titles."

"You may choose a Daoist name that you like. Those who do not wish to adopt a Daoist name may use their given name as their Daoist name."

"When refining the token, imprint your chosen Daoist name into it. Afterward, you will be able to freely enter and exit Fool's Peak, as well as any place that outer disciples can go."

Road number?

Zhou Hao looked at the talisman and began to ponder.

In the Dao Sect, a Daoist name is an honorific title for a Daoist priest. Daoist practitioners often address each other by their Daoist names as a sign of respect.

Just like his master before his transmigration in this life, ' True Person Daoyi ', whose Daoist name was 'Dao Yi'...

Thinking of True Person Daoyi, Zhou Hao seemed to see his master calling him by his childhood name "Changsheng" and teaching him boxing.

"... Let's call it Changsheng)."

With a thought, Zhou Hao refined the token in his hand.

Under the word '' on the side of the white command talisman, the word 'immortality' slowly emerged.

As soon as he refined the token, Zhou Hao immediately sensed the entire Fool's Peak and even the great formation that enveloped the mountains further away.

At the same time, the talisman contained countless messages, which transformed directly into a book in his mind.

"The Profound Heaven Manual?"

Upon seeing the book cover, Zhou Hao immediately began to mentally manipulate the pages.

It turns out that this Profound Heaven Manual is a compilation of information about the Mysterious Heaven Sect, intended for newly joined outer disciples.

"The Mysterious Heaven Sect is actually a separate small world, the Profound Heaven Realm?"

Upon first looking at it, Zhou Hao was taken aback.

"No wonder Golden Platform Elder mentioned the Profound Heaven Realm and the Xia Clan Great World earlier. It turns out we didn't just leave the East Sea, but we actually left the Xia Clan Great World directly."

I'm not feeling well. I felt unwell last night, and even after a night's sleep, I still have a splitting headache, cold hands and feet, and my cervical spine is also stiff.

In addition, I was so focused on updating in the past few days that I didn't have time to summarize some main ideas, including the setting of the Mysterious Heaven Sect.

Although I felt terrible this morning, I could only grit my teeth and finish this first before writing.

The settings are almost complete. They were already there, but I hadn't written them down, so they weren't perfect. I've finished them today.

This is just the beginning, and the earlier parts will be a bit challenging because I need to constantly consider whether it makes sense.

After writing a few chapters, it will become easier and easier.

I should be able to write another chapter today. If I don't post it before midnight, it means I couldn't hold on and didn't finish.

Please forgive me, everyone. I'll make up for the missed updates later.
