Chapter 36: Chapter 34: Joining Pure Yang Peak
Translator: 549690339
Mt. Wendao, reaching straight into the sky, possesses stunning steep cliffs on all four sides. It radiates an imposing aura and currently houses countless trialists.
Most individuals have spent an entire night trying, but still couldn’t reach the mountain peak.
Therefore, they all stay on the mountain.
Not having eaten or drunk anything for the whole day, along with previously crossing through a jungle and battling exotic beasts at the foot of the mountain, their bodies and spirits are both extremely frail.
Wang Da Niu is one among them. At present, he appears weary, with a pallid complexion, bloodshot eyes, with very prominent traces of bloodshot veins in his eyes.
Despite this, he refuses to surrender.
“I can’t take it anymore! I give up!”
A gilded youth, dressed in brocade clothes and looking utterly bedraggled, lay on a rock like an old dog, devoid of strength, and yelled towards the dome of the sky.
Accompanying his shout of surrender, a golden streak of light immediately plummeted downwards from the sky, arriving in a blink of an eye.
It fell upon him, and his figure instantly disappeared from that spot. Clearly, he was instantly teleported out.
Seeing this scene, those around who were also struggling to continue were increasingly stirred.
Some had already collapsed on the ground, unable to even move a finger, saying in a weak voice:
“I give up too…”
Following this, he too turned into a streak of light and disappeared on the spot.
As more and more people began to witness others disappearing from their sides, a crack seemed to form in their psychological defenses.
They couldn’t help but want to give up as well.
“I might as well give up! I’ve been climbing for a day and still can’t see the mountain peak. If this continues, I’ll die here on Mt. Wendao.”
“Indeed, the Dragon Sparrow Sect is counted as a top-tier sect in Qingyun State. It’s truly not easy to get in.”
More than ten streaks of light vanished in one flash.
A large group of people disappeared on the stone steps of the mountain.
Those who vanished didn’t have the ability to sustain their bodily needs without food. Their bodies couldn’t withstand the prolonged hunger, hence they had no choice but to give up.
However, not all chose to give up.
Wang Da Niu clung to the stone steps with his five fingers, inching his way towards the mountain peak step by step. He muttered softly:
“Mom and Dad, I will make you proud, I will definitely make something of myself!”
“Hongliu, once 1 get into the Sect, I will definitely come home to marry you.”
“I’ve already come this far, how could I possibly give up!”
Wang Da Niu’s tone was extremely resolute, without the slightest hint of faltering.
Somewhat mystically, it was as though the power of some law had been invoked.
He suddenly felt his body become a bit lighter.
His expression brightened, and he began to climb even more vigorously.
Not long after.
A gazebo appeared before his eyes. At the side of the gazebo was the end of the stone steps. Two stone pillars stood tall, on which the small seal script characters for “Wendao” were carved in vermillion.
On the peak of Mt. Wendao.
After Han Ye reached the summit, met the Sect Master and Elder Jiang, officially becoming an Outer Sect disciple, he just started to inquire about the specifics of the ten main peaks.
Just now he found out that this Elder Jiang
He is the Peak Master of one of the ten peaks, the Heavenly Mystery Peak, and he imparts the teachings of life prediction and divination- a profound and abstruse art.
Moreover, each main peak has corresponding inheritances and divine powers.
For example, the divine power of Ziwei Peak is Purple Phoenix Startling Swan Sword Qi.
And Skyswallow Peak’s puppetry, God Cultivation Peak’s Three Thousand Thunder Seals and so on.
“Although you’ve performed well, you must not be proud or self-satisfied, giving rise to a Heart Demon, when you officially start cultivating, you still need to stay grounded, restrain arrogance and impetuosity. I’ve seen too many cultivators whose reputations gradually took off, but who died young because they were too anxious, giving rise to a Heart Demon.”
Hearing the increasing seriousness in Elder Jiang’s tone, Han Ye respectfully promised:
“Junior will definitely work diligently, and won’t dare to be negligent.”
Chu Xianyu gave a slow nod.
Seeing the seriousness from the two, Elder Jiang’s face softened and he said: “In consideration of being the first batch to reach the top, I’ll give you a chance.”
His gaze first settled on Han Ye.
“Your name is Han Ye, right?”
“Indeed.”
“Han Ye, you possess a Triple Spirit Roots of Fire, Earth, and Metal, along with a Tyrant King Bloodline. Your vital blood is abundant, and your body never ceases to emanate an overpowering Yang aura. Of the ten main peaks of the Dragon Sparrow Sect, Pure Yang Peak is mainly for physical body Cultivation. Elder Gai Mitian is highly skilled in this field with his ‘Supreme Limitless Skill’ and ‘Hanshan Five Elements Gang’, which are suitable for you. If you are willing, I can facilitate your entry there.”
Han Ye was overjoyed to hear this and hurriedly bowed in thanks, “Thank you, Elder Jiang.”
“Chu Xianyu, you possess a Water nature Heavenly Spiritual Root and are a natural-born Sword Cultivator whom the Chu Family has nurtured. While Ziwei Peak can’t compare to some of the renowned Sword Cultivator sects in Fuyao State, they also have some credentials and are among the best in Qjngyun State. The swordsmanship and sword moves you have learned in the Chu Family are solid, and when it comes to the foundation of both Divine Powers and Spells, our Dragon Sparrow Sect is only better, not lesser. You can study there with ease.”
“Thankyou, Elder.”
Chu Xianyu nodded slightly.
Han Ye noticed that it was always Elder Jiang who guided them, while Yun Xuzi didn’t speak much. He took a covert glance at Yun Xuzi, who maintained a serene and composed smile and did not say anything. However, his gaze seemed to penetrate Han Ye, suggesting certain profound implications.
For a moment, it was hard to tell who the Sect Leader was.
Han Ye seemed to understand something in that split second — these tedious matters were precisely what the Elders should be handling. Although Yun Xuzi was the Leader of the Sect, he just needed to guide and manage the various Elders.
When it came to instruction, Elder Jiang was more adept. He could provide detailed information about the different characteristics, rules, and regulations of each Immortal Peak, as well as every law of the Sect. This gave Han Ye a comprehensive understanding of the Dragon Sparrow Sect.
Beneath the Sect leader, besides the Masters of the ten Immortal Peaks, there were also Elders of Enforcement, Internal Affairs, External Affairs, Supervision, and Guest Elders.
Disciples were divided into: Outer Sect disciples, Inner Sect disciples, Direct Disciples, and True Inheritance Disciples.
For instance, Han Ye was now an Outer Sect disciple, they all wore blue garments, were eligible to participate in experiential missions and they enjoyed the resources distributed by the Sect. They shared mountain peak residences with other Outer Sect disciples, much like shared dormitories.
Inner Sect disciples were the elite disciples of the Dragon Sparrow Sect. They donned green robes, and were eligible for some small posts within the sect. They also got more resources.
Direct disciples -were the ones held in the highest regard by the elders, they wore white robes, could compete for the role of senior disciples, manage many fellow disciples and had the right to allocate Cave Mansions for themselves.
Last were the True Inheritance disciples. They were given items like the Purple-Phoenix Treasure Scarf as tokens, and potentially qualify to become Elders and Peak Leaders. They had independent Immortal Peaks and Palaces. “I have already transmitted a message to Elder Gai. You just need to carry this command token and report to Pure Yang Peak.”
Jiang Taixu extended his hand, and the surrounding Spiritual Qi gathered, forming a crystalline jade order.
Han Ye slowly received the order and observed it for a moment.
It seems like he now understood what the purpose of the Inner Sect token Liu Lingqi accepted earlier was.
It was for acknowledging a Master.
Because even if you are very interested in one of the main peaks and want to join, they may not necessarily accept you.
At such times, you need to use your command token for access.
He heard Elder Jiang say, firstly, each of the ten main peaks select disciples for themselves, then the Sect makes further distributions.
Most disciples will be assigned to Yangshen Peak, which is where alchemy is learned. They do not refuse those who come and there are no conditions, even if you join other main peaks first, you can then further progress on Yangshen Peak. The Sect does not impose restrictions.
Upon hearing this, Han Ye raised a question.
Does this mean one can learn something from each of the ten main peaks?
Jiang Taixu smiled lightly, although he didn’t say anything, Han Ye could feel that the other party found this question amusing.
Elder Jiang explained that no one can learn everything from the ten main peaks. Even mastering one to proficiency is challenging enough. Being able to master even two or three out of them is a sign of an extraordinarily heavenly talent because, after all, a person’s energy is limited.
“Understood, thank you, Elder!”
After receiving the token and expressing his thanks, Han Ye prepared to leave the mountaintop.
He only needed to wave the token lightly, and a fairy crane would arrive to transport him to his desired location.
Before leaving, Han Ye smiled gently at Chu Xianyu,
“Miss Chu, until we meet again, and thank you for your Tranquil Heart Mantra.”
“Uh-huh.”
Chu Xianyu slightly nodded and also beckoned an Immortal Crane, climbed on it, and gracefully headed toward Ziwei Peak.
Han Ye was careful as he stroked the soft feathers of the Crane. The Crane shivered a bit. It was his first time on such a creature; he was both frightened and curious.
In the end, he took a bold leap and climbed onto it.
A crisp cry echoed from the Snow-White Immortal Crane as it spread its wings and gently started to rise.
Flying into the sky, Han Ye watched as Yun Xuzi and Elder Jiang gradually became a black dot, and he himself, under the dazzling moonlight, felt the cool night breeze.
His heart was filled with expectation.
Pure Yang Peak, I’m on my way.
