Does This Count as Rare?

"After thirty years of study, I've finally gained some insight and am ready to enter the Seeking Dao Mountain!"

On the shores of the Myriad Seas, the dynasty closest to this place was called Western Chu, while the dynasty separated from Southern Chu was the Western Xia Dynasty.

At this moment, on Gold and Jade Mountain within the Southern Chu Dynasty, in a grand hall shrouded in mist, an old man was somewhat excited.

Having spent thirty years honing his skills in the mortal world and thirty years in the monastery, he is now over seventy years old.

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that he's now buried in the earth.

Seeing many of his fellow disciples die with regret because they could not enter the Seeking Dao Mountain.

Now that he was finally able to enter the Seeking Dao Mountain, how could he not feel emotional?

"Senior brother, have you attained enlightenment?"

Beside the meditation room, other disciples were also peacefully cultivating and seeking enlightenment.

Suddenly sensing a movement beside him, he opened his eyes and heard the old Daoist priest's words.

Upon hearing this, her eyes widened, revealing a deep sense of envy.

Seeking Dao Mountain!

Upon entering the mountain gate, I heard the sect leader or senior brothers mention the importance of this place.

Only by entering the Seeking Dao Mountain can one be considered to have truly embarked on the path of cultivation.

The path of cultivation values not only character but also aptitude.

If one cannot ask the question, then one cannot cultivate.

Being able to enter the Seeking Dao Mountain means being able to cultivate oneself.

Moreover, entering the Seeking Dao Mountain can extend one's lifespan by a hundred years!

This would be a temptation for any cultivator.

With a hundred years, they had ample time to comprehend the Dao.

"Hmm, looking at this manuscript, I've gained some insight. I'm finally able to enter the Seeking Dao Mountain."

Upon hearing this, the old Daoist priest stroked his beard to calm his excited emotions.

A true cultivator should remain calm and composed, like still water, even if a mountain collapses before them.

We must not let this disrupt our current State of Mind.

"Congratulations, Senior Brother! Our Daoist Sect has gained another cultivator!"

Upon hearing this, the junior disciples nearby quickly offered their congratulations.

The congratulations in his tone were genuine.

My senior brother is over seventy years old, and today he was finally able to enter the Seeking Dao Mountain. For them, that is also an inspiration!

The old Daoist priest nodded slightly upon hearing this, ultimately unable to contain his emotions.

"Fellow disciples, please wait a moment. I will also go to the Seeking Dao Mountain and have a look around. I will then return and discuss the Dao with you all."

Generally speaking, disciples who seek the Dao will discuss the Dao with their fellow disciples.

In this way, it is very likely that other fellow disciples will also gain some insight, thus achieving enlightenment and entering the Seeking Dao Mountain.

This has become a tradition.

However, for now, he wants to go and take a look at the Seeking Dao Mountain first.

The other junior brothers, upon hearing this, understood their senior brother's perspective.

If it were them who had cultivated for thirty years before finally being able to enter the Seeking Dao Mountain, they would probably be even happier than their senior brother is now.

Can't wait to enter the Seeking Dao Mountain?

"Please proceed, senior brother. We can certainly wait."

"That's right, Senior Brother, hurry inside! There might be other fellow Daoists inside the Seeking Dao Mountain!"

The words of his fellow disciples made the old Daoist shake his head and smile.

Enlightenment itself is extremely difficult; to enter the Seeking Dao Mountain and meet other fellow Daoists is even more difficult.

Therefore, he merely listened to these words.

Calm his mind and guard his nature, the old Daoist immediately entered a state of cultivation.

The next moment, he felt a daze, and before his eyes stood a majestic mountain.

"This must be the Seeking Dao Mountain!"

Looking at the towering mountain before him, he realized that he had finally entered the Seeking Dao Mountain and would be able to cultivate using Spiritual Qi from now on.

Thinking about it this way, even though he had just calmed State of Mind, he still felt a surge of excitement.

However, the next moment, a noisy sound reached his ears.

"So you're a fellow Daoist from Jade Void Mountain. I've long admired Jade Void Mountain, but I've never been there. It's truly a pity."

"So you are a fellow Daoist from Northern Liang. Back then, demons roamed the land, Human Race to eat their own children. Corpses littered the ground, and countless of us cultivators perished. We were fortunate to have your assistance, fellow Northern Liang. If you come to Jade Void Mountain, we will certainly welcome you with open arms."

"Is this fellow Dinggui Mountain? So many disciples, truly a great sect! Far beyond what my Great Qian Daoist Sect can compare to!"

"May I ask, fellow Daoist, how many years have you been cultivating within this mountain sect?"

A series of greetings rang out at that moment.

This made the old Daoist priest feel a little dizzy.

What's going on? Am I possessed by Heart Demon? Is this the Seeking Dao Mountain?

Why does it feel like I've stumbled into a bustling marketplace? It's so noisy!

But that doesn't make sense either. Judging from the content of their words, everyone around them should be fellow Daoists.

But why are there so many cultivators in the Seeking Dao Mountain?

With this thought in mind, the old Daoist hurriedly turned his head to look.

Upon seeing this, he almost cried out in surprise.

As far as the eye could see, there were countless cultivators here.

A rough count reveals nearly a thousand fellow cultivators!

And judging from the different clothes these fellow Daoists wore, they clearly came from various Daoist Sect.

Judging from their attire, each sect has dozens or even hundreds of fellow Daoists on this Seeking Dao Mountain.

This caused the old Daoist priest to momentarily lose his composure.

What's going on? Is this still the Seeking Dao Mountain?

Why are there so many fellow cultivators here?

"Fellow Daoist."

The old Daoist priest tried to calm State of Mind down, then bowed to the cultivator beside him.

"Ah, where do you come from, fellow Daoist, to wear such attire?"

Upon hearing the voice, Fellow Daoist Yang Xiang turned around, returning the greeting while giving the other Daoist a quick glance.

Seeing that the other person's clothes were quite unfamiliar, he couldn't help but ask with a strange look on his face.

Judging from the appearance of the fellow Daoist in front of me, he did not resemble a cultivator from either the Northern Liang or the Great Qian Dynasty.

"This humble Daoist priest inquired about the Golden Jade Mountain of Southern Chu."

Upon hearing this, the old Daoist priest immediately revealed the place where he sought enlightenment.

"This humble Yang Xiang, seeks the Dao at Jade Void Mountain in the Great Qian Dynasty."

Upon hearing this, Yang Xiang also revealed the place where he sought enlightenment.

After saying that, he looked at the fellow Daoist in front of him with some pleasure.

"It is quite rare to meet a fellow Daoist in the Seeking Dao Mountain. Fellow Daoist, you are seeking guidance in the Southern Chu region. If you have some free time, you are welcome to visit the Jade Void Mountain of the Great Qian Dynasty."

The old Daoist priest in front of him, upon hearing Yang Xiang's words, would normally have nodded in agreement, deeply empathizing with his sentiments.

But in today's terms

Turning around, he saw so many fellow Daoists here; how could they be considered rare?

Seeing that the fellow Daoists here are chatting happily without the slightest surprise, they must be frequent visitors to this place and often see other Daoists here.

The old Daoist priest remained speechless as he thought about his own suspicions.

Has it been because I've been cultivating in seclusion within my own sect for too long, without exchanging ideas with fellow Daoist Sect, that my cultivation has fallen behind?

Otherwise, how could he be completely out of touch with the cultivation practices of his fellow cultivators outside?
