The Endless Immortal Mountains

With pressure came motivation.

Aside from resting or stepping out to chat with the Yu Family members, Li Yunjing spent all his time sitting cross-legged inside the carriage.

He continued to use the Qi Refining manual he had obtained to draw Qi into his body.

Li Yunjing did not know much; he only knew this one nameless Qi refining method.

The origin of this technique was simple: he had begged it off a beggar without paying a single cent.

The beggar had no idea what was written on it and had simply tossed it to Li Yunjing.

The nameless manual contained only the method for cultivating a sense of Qi; it recorded no spells or other content.

Naturally, Li Yunjing did not know any minor spells, let alone supernatural powers, alchemy, artifact refining, array formation, or talisman crafting.

However, not knowing spells did not mean Li Yunjing was weak in combat.

How could he dare to travel the world and wander about without exceptional martial arts skills?

Li Yunjing was proficient in various styles of unarmed combat, and he was no stranger to blades, spears, swords, and halberds.

It could be said that Li Yunjing possessed excellent talent for martial arts; he learned things the moment he was taught and mastered them the moment he learned them.

He was a clever man with the memories of two lifetimes and supreme natural talent.

Meanwhile, the power of the "Creation Divine Thunder" continued to constantly reshape his body.

Li Yunjing's bones, muscles, internal organs, blood, and even his brain were being continuously strengthened.

His vision could see further and more clearly than before.

His ears could hear the slightest rustle within a three-mile radius.

His sense of smell was also incredibly sharp; he could distinguish every member of the Yu Family just by their scent.

Likewise, Li Yunjing's reaction speed, strength, and even his mental clarity had improved.

The parts of the nameless manual that had previously seemed obscure and difficult to understand were now easily grasped by him.

At this moment, sitting in the carriage, he had fully comprehended the nameless Qi refining manual and could even draw inferences about other things from it.

Sigh! It really is a piece of trash! Not worth the anticipation at all. It's exactly as the young miss said!

Finally, Li Yunjing confirmed that this nameless manual was garbage.

He was clearly not some child of destiny who could just pick up a divine cultivation manual and rise to prominence.

"We're here! We're here!"

Suddenly, the voices of several riders came from outside the carriage.

"Have we arrived at the Divine Firmament Dao Sect?"

Li Yunjing was startled; had half a day passed without him noticing?

Arriving here, Li Yunjing felt a bit nervous.

He lifted the carriage curtain, poked his head out, and looked ahead.

At a single glance, he saw that in the distance, amidst the rolling mountains, there were towering peaks everywhere.

Mountain after mountain stretched on endlessly, straight as arrows.

Some peaks were covered in blooming flowers, and one could vaguely see numerous pavilions and towers.

"Whoosh!"

Countless waterfalls, thousands or even ten thousand feet high, poured down from the peaks.

They were like countless jade dragons, and the sound of the crashing water, like muffled thunder, carried from afar.

The vast, continuous mountain range seemed endless, and its true size was impossible to fathom.

With Li Yunjing's eyesight, he could not see the full picture at all.

Above the sprawling mountain range, the sky was as blue and clear as crystal, without a single dark cloud.

The bright sun shone down, and the sky was spotless.

On those hundreds of peaks, pine trees with gnarled roots and twisted branches stood tall, and exotic fragrances drifted on the breeze, revealing the atmosphere of an immortal realm.

Taking a breath, he felt refreshed; even a beginner like Li Yunjing could deeply feel the density of the spiritual energy here.

This was the location of the Divine Firmament Dao Sect's mountain gate: the Divine Firmament Mountain Range.

"If one were to live in a place like this for a long time, even without cultivating, there would be no problem at all in prolonging one's life and living to a hundred!"

Li Yunjing jumped down from the carriage, filled with the same yearning as the others, gazing into the distance at those divine mountains.

"So this is the Divine Firmament Dao Sect!"

One of the riders couldn't help but exclaim.

"It truly lives up to its reputation as a great immortal sect!"

Another rider looked at the massive mountains with a complex expression.

It was a pity that they were all guards of the Yu Family, possessing inferior aptitude and lacking the qualifications to be initiated into the sect and become disciples of the Divine Firmament Dao Sect.

This was an invincible, grand sect!

The strictness of their recruitment was enough to drive the thousands of geniuses in the mortal world to despair!

Did you think you were someone important?

Once you arrived at the Divine Firmament Dao Sect, you would realize that so-called important figures were nothing more than the bottom of the barrel!

Here, the one thing they were never short of was so-called geniuses!

Gazing at the immortal mountains, everyone was filled with excitement; this was the place where cultivators truly belonged!

Within the crowd, Li Yunjing's expression was equally stirred as he gazed into the distance—this was a true blessed land of paradise!

"Ahem! Alright, everyone, calm down!"

Steward Li spoke up, casting a glance at Li Yunjing before saying to Yu Yunyi, "Eldest Miss, from here, we enter the mountains. Once we cross three peaks, we will reach the gates of the Divine Firmament Dao Sect!"

"Understood!"

Among these people, only Yu Yunyi remained relatively calm.

At this very moment, her breathing was steady, and she showed no signs of being particularly agitated.

Clearly, the Eldest Miss was someone who had seen the world.

How shameful!

Seeing this, Li Yunjing reflected inwardly, realizing his composure was far inferior to that of the Eldest Miss.

Even having lived two lifetimes, he had still lost his composure before such a divine mountain.

"We cannot take the carriages any further from here. Eldest Miss, we must proceed on foot, pass through three trials, and reach the mountain gates."

Steward Li was very familiar with the situation and continued his introduction.

He was the old steward of the Yu Family and a master at the Foundation Establishment Realm.

He had already escorted several geniuses to the Divine Firmament Dao Sect for the family; this was his fifth time coming to the Divine Firmament Mountain Range.

He had long since learned to face everything here with a calm heart.

No matter how magnificent the immortal mountains were, it was a pity that he was not destined for them and could not be initiated into the sect.

"Very well! Then we shall ascend on foot!"

Yu Yunyi nodded, her crisp voice ringing out.

She was no delicate flower, but a young talent who had achieved success in cultivation; her strength was second only to Steward Li among this group.

Steward Li instructed the guards to remain where they were and watch over the carriages.

Only the Eldest Miss, Li Yunjing, Steward Li, and Ling'er, Yu Yunyi's maid, prepared to head toward the mountain gates.

"Li Yunjing, let's go! Once we reach the Divine Firmament Dao Sect, whether you can be initiated into the sect depends entirely on your own ability."

Yu Yunyi offered Li Yunjing a smile and took the lead, walking forward.

Steward Li and Ling'er followed closely behind.

"I must be initiated into the immortal sect!"

Watching their retreating figures, Li Yunjing said softly.

His expression was extremely solemn; clearly, he took this matter of changing his destiny very seriously.

Stepping into the mountains, the path was filled with thorns, the ridges were steep, and the trees were lush as everyone followed Steward Li's guidance.

"There are footprints!"

Suddenly, Li Yunjing said in a low voice.

Ten yards ahead, he saw a series of footprints—messy and of varying sizes—clearly indicating that more than one or two people had passed through here.

"It is currently the time for the Divine Firmament Dao Sect to recruit disciples, so it is not surprising that some people have passed through this area."

Steward Li offered an explanation.
