“Middle tier Chess?!”
Yang Junshan suddenly stood up, he almost couldn’t believe his ears.
Seeing Yang Junshan’s reaction, Ouyang Xulin finally laughed proudly, and said: “Brother Yang, don’t be so excited, it’s a middle ranked Chess, a middle ranked Chess!”
Yang Junshan slowly sat down, the surprise and surprise on his face even surpassing his surprise. He asked hesitantly: “Brother Ouyang, the spirit materials I gave you all those years ago should only be able to be used to refine low rank Chess, right?”
Ouyang Xulin heard and laughed, then patted Yang Junshan’s shoulders and said: “Brother Yang, it seems like you do not know how precious the Chess’s inheritance is, but honestly speaking, if not for teacher’s help, it is impossible to refine a middle ranked Chess, it is just that after the Chess was refined, teacher intentionally opened his eyes for me, and considered the contributions to be paid for it all onto me, I am ashamed!”
Yang Junshan knew that Ouyang Xulin’s teacher was only an ordinary refiner at the Heaven-Shaken Sect’s Artifact Forging Hall, and his cultivation was only at the fifth stage of martial arts realm. Furthermore, he had lost hope in advancing to the realms of life, and his refining skills could not go further.
“Brother Ouyang, how can you belittle yourself?” Yang Junshan encouraged him: “I have seen your refining skills before, if not for you expending most of your energy in refining the Chess, I am afraid that even if your teacher wanted to open your eyes, you wouldn’t necessarily agree, right?”
Ouyang Xulin laughed, stood up and said: “Go, let’s go take a look at your Chess?”
Yang Junshan asked with doubt and excitement: “Where to?”
Ouyang Xulin pointed at him and laughed: You rushed over to the County City so suddenly and used a recommended jade token to call me down from Heaven-Shaking Peak, then why are you carrying me there?
“You want to take me to Heaven-Shaking Peak?” Yang Junshan suppressed his excitement and said: “I am not a disciple of Heaven-Shaken Sect, how can I enter Heaven-Shaking Peak?”
Ouyang Xulin pointed at him and laughed, “You do have the recommended jade tablet for our sect’s cultivators. With that jade tablet, you will be able to enter the Heaven-Shaking Peak, you know that, right? “Rest assured, when the time comes, I can recommend you to a grandmaster level artificer at the Artifact Forging Hall. That is an expert that can even forge spirit artifacts.”
Yang Junshan laughed and said: “Then there’s no need. There must be an end to the beginning of things, and in the end, the Mountain Monarch Seal s will all fall to you, Brother Ouyang.”
Ouyang Xulin did not decline, and said: “Your luck is not bad, if not for the fact that I have experience refining middle tier Chess, I would not dare to raise the Mountain Monarch Seal to a High quality magical equipment! But what is the high grade spirit material that you used to raise the Mountain Monarch Seal? ”
Yang Junshan took out a jade box with Spirit Sealing Talisman on it. Inside the box was the high-grade spirit material, Cyan Heaven Stone, that he had obtained from the Yu Family’s Fourth Steward previously.
The Heaven-Shaking Peak that towered into the clouds was actually located at the east of the Yu Cheng, however, when the people of the Yu Cheng gazed far into the distance, it was extremely difficult to see its entire appearance. Even in extremely good weather, at most, they could only seazy and enormous mountain.
“This is because the entire Heaven-Shaken Sect is enveloped by the great protective formation!”
When Ouyang Xulin was walking eastwards from the Yu Cheng, after a few hours, the two of them arrived at the foot of the Heaven-Shaking Peak. Further in front of them, Yang Junshan felt that an invisible membrane was blocking him, and the further he went, the greater the resistance became.
“This is our sect’s great protective formation. I only know of its name, ‘Sky Execution’, and it is an extremely strong precious array. It is said that once it is activated, meteorites would fall from the sky, but no one has seen it for thousands of years.”
Ouyang Xulin knew that Yang Junshan was an array master, thus, he did not remind him when he deliberately walked up, and only introduced him to him now.
When Yang Junshan heard the pride in Ouyang Xulin’s tone, he couldn’t help but think that although the “Sky Execution” formation was powerful, it could only be used to guard Han Tianfeng’s lair. The Heaven-Shaken Sect’s legacy was still around, but the scope of influence had been reduced from the entire Yuzhou to just one Yuxian.
“Then how do I enter the Heaven-Shaking Peak? Will it not cause trouble for you, Brother Ouyang?”
Ouyang Xulin laughed: “The recommendation jade in your hand iassage talisman. Besides the important locations of Heaven-Shaking Peak, you can travel unhindered in most areas.
Yang Junshan laughed and said, “To be able to enter the Heaven-Shaking Peak to see the glory of the number one sect in the cultivation world is already a blessing in three lifetimes.
Under Ouyang Xulin’s guidance, Yang Junshan used his spirit energy to drive a drop of the blood essence in his body into the jade tablet to refine. After that, he followed behind Ouyang Xulin and walked forward, discovering that even though his entire person was still moving forward as if he was in a swamp, he no longer had the power that was brewing and rebounding.
“This sect protecting formation is alsest for sect cultivators, and only after advancing in martial arts realm can they freely enter and exit the sect, so unless they borrow help from someone else or some other person, if they want to exit the sect protecting formation, they can only rely on hard work to cultivate.”
After walking forward about 30 meters, Yang Junshan felt the pressure on his body suddenly disappear, and his entire being relaxed. The scene before him suddenly changed, as dense spirit energy rushed towards him, pressing into his pores, mouth, nose and ears, even though Yang Junshan had experienced this before, he was still unable to breathe evenly, and immediately coughed loudly.
Yang Junshan coughed, while pointing at the gloating “Heh heh” Ouyang Xulin who was laughing merrily, to the point that he couldn’t even utter a word, but Ouyang Xulin obviously did not remind him on purpose.
After struggling to catch his breath, Yang Junshan raised his head and saw a tall memorial archway in front of his eyes. In the center of the memorial archway were carved four bold words, “Heaven Shaking Sect”, and below this memorial archway was the path to the top of Heaven-Shaking Peak.
Ouyang Xulin did not notice the strange expression that appeared in Yang Junshan’s eyes the moment he saw this decorated building, and introduced it: “This decorated building was personally built by the greatest Patriarch Nine Toughness in the history of our sect. Back then, when Ancestral Master Nine Toughness was still alive, my Heaven-Shaken Sect ruled over the entire cultivation world, and our Heaven-Shaking Peak was passed down as having four Daoists overseeing it.
Yang Junshan ignored the nostalgic look on Ouyang Xulin’s face and asked: “And then, what about that Nine-tailed Old Ancestor?”
“Naturally, it is to become an Immortal and roam freely in the Outer World’s firmament!” Ouyang Xulin said hesitantly, “However, there were rumours within the sect that there were people who questioned the authenticity of Ancestor Jiu Tou’s Immortal Ascension. However, most of the disciples believed that he had already become an Immortal and had long transcended this world!”
As if he was extremely interested in the Nine-limbed Old Ancestor, Yang Junshan hurriedly asked, “Why would there be people who suspect?”
Ouyang Xulin hesitated for a moment, then said, “This is not a secret in the Heaven-Shaken Sect, it’s not a big deal if I tell you about it. The reason why someone once doubted whether or not Patriarch Nine Toughness enjoyed the Immortal Path is because thousands of years after Ancestor Nine Toughness, when the sect gradually declined, the ancestor never appeared again!”
“The reason why some of the major sects in the cultivation world are able to thrive and survive is because they have the protection of their ancestors, who enjoy the protection of the immortal path. When the sect is in danger, these ancestors will lend a helping hand, and it is because of this reason that there was once someone in the sect who suspected that Martial Ancestor Jiu Tou had taken that step back then!”
As the two of them spoke, they walked under the huge memorial archway. At this point, it could already be considered that they had arrived at the foot of the Heaven-Shaking Peak.
Yang Junshan looked at the layers of terraces that circled around the foot of the Heaven-Shaking Peak, forming half a circle in front of his eyes. He could not help but be shocked: “These are all Ling Tian?”
Ouyang Xulin nodded his head: “That’s right, there are Ling Tian at the bottom of the mountain. At the bottom, there are low-ranked Ling Tian, and above are mid-ranked Ling Tian and high-ranked Ling Tian.
Yang Junshan’s eyes were filled with shock, and he said: “How many acres are there?”
Ouyang Xulin shook his head: “I don’t know the specifics, but the foot of the mountain is the largest.
Yang Junshan’s heart pounded violently, but he still asked. “This is only the foot of the mountain? “What about the mountainside?”
Ouyang Xulin laughed: “A large number of spiritual plantation s have also been cut into the mountainside, and all kinds of spirit herbs and materials have been planted there. However, this is also where the Martial Realm Cultivator creates his cave abode, and further up is the area near the peak of Heaven-Shaking Peak, where the sect’s realms of life’s cave abode is.”
Yang Junshan raised his head to look, only to see that the peak of the Heaven-Shaking Peak was already enveloped by dense white clouds, it was impossible to see his true face.
“Even though you have the recommended jade tablet, you are still a Martial Realm Cultivator, so you can only move about below Heaven-Shaking Peak’s mountainside. However, this place is densely packed with restrictions and you have disciples that are not from Heaven-Shaken Sect, so you can only move within the designated safe zone.”
Ouyang Xulin purposely instructed before saying: “Let’s go to my cave first, since we are going to upgrade the Mountain Monarch Seal to High quality magical equipment, I’m afraid we will need to be busy foeriod of time, at that time we can’t care about you, you should stay in my cave!”
Walking in the green and vitality filled Spirit Grass Garden, looking at the various spirit herbs growing below their feet, while calculating how many Jade Coins would they be able to earn if all of them were sold and harvested. Hmm, jade coin, the two of them had already arrived in front of Ouyang Xulin’s cave.
“I don’t really like staying in caves, so I set up a flat ground here. I built a few bamboo houses and built a small courtyard.
Ouyang Xulin snapped his fingers, a light Spirit Qi rippled out, and witumbling sound, a Spirit Monkey Puppet came out from the inner room with two cups of steaming Spirit Tea.
“Wait for a moment, I’ll go get the Chess for you!”
