A Sect from a Spirit Vein

On Yun Mountain, there lies the unclaimed grotto heaven that was originally lost in the void. After countless ages, it gradually approached the Primordial Realm and slowly integrated with it, projecting its image into the Primordial Realm and forming a scenic grotto heaven illusion.

The scenic grotto heaven illusion represents the possibility of a grotto heaven emerging. Of course, there is also the possibility that after the illusion appears, the grotto heaven might be swept away again by void turbulence, never to manifest in the mortal world.

Such scenic grotto heaven illusions have no pattern to their occurrence—whether they appear, when they appear, and how long they last is all subject to the whims of fate.

Yet, the scenic grotto heaven illusion here is entirely due to the grotto heaven belonging to the Taiyi Paradise, which is firmly anchored to the back of the gigantic whale. This grotto heaven clings closely to the Primordial Realm, continuously projecting its illusory shadows stably upon the Primordial Realm and on the back of the whale.

It makes sense when you think about it: although this gigantic whale possesses Void Refining cultivation, allowing it to traverse the void with its physical form, how could the mountain gate buildings and sect disciples on the whale’s back withstand the void turbulence?

As it turns out, Taiyi Paradise placed the core of its mountain gate within its own grotto heaven and then had the gigantic whale ferry the grotto heaven across the void.

Just the thought of such an achievement made Lu Qian feel dizzy and tremble all over.

Who knew that the world’s top sects could have such grandeur and audacity!

Moreover, this is a Unity Sect; this grotto heaven is likely not a Void Spirit Grotto Heaven but rather an Immortal Spirit Grotto Heaven.

His heart dazed and overwhelmed, Lu Qian gazed at the gigantic whale and at the magnificent and exaggerated scenic grotto heaven illusion stretching out like a vast plain on the whale’s spine, unable to suppress an internal shout.

This is how a real man should be!

Eventually, the whale spread its massive fins, wind gusted fiercely, and an immense tornado suddenly formed, rampaging below with wild abandon, tilting forests and shattering rocks as the protective grand array of Plum Blossom Marketplace creaked audibly.

A chime echoed from the whale’s back, and instantly the winds ceased and clouds settled, rendering the world silent.

"Announcing, Xuanwei Sect’s Miaomiao Profound Monarch of Cangzhou, ascend to audience!"

A ray of radiant light extended from atop the whale, forming a grand staircase before Miaomiao Profound Monarch. A breath later, the staircase solidified into a thousand steps. Miaomiao Profound Monarch seemed very excited, taking deep breaths to steady his emotions, aligning his primordial spirit, before taking flight swiftly and ascending.

The light retracted, carrying Miaomiao Profound Monarch onto the whale’s back, whereupon he vanished from sight.

It was then that Lu Qian had the opportunity to ask, "Elder Xi Chan, what exactly happened in the void that day? What treasure did the four sects obtain that led them to invite Taiyi Paradise to descend?"

Xi Chan Daoist, eyeing the giant whale suspended silently, quickly recounted the events, leaving Lu Qian even more stupefied.

His heart was so deeply shaken by Taiyi Paradise that when confronted with this avalanche of information, he found himself momentarily unable to react.

The Xuanwei Sect, Spirit Beast Sect, and Qinglian Sect were ambushed by a giant purple figure in the void and suffered heavy losses—several Golden Cores were lost, and even Baoo Peng Spirit Monarch perished!

The death of Baoo Peng Spirit Monarch would trigger a chain reaction, causing a massive shift in Cangzhou’s landscape, potentially altering the strategic environment for Yunshan Sect.

Yet the impact of Taiyi Paradise on Lu Qian was so overwhelming that he struggled to focus on deducing strategies and calculations.

Ultimately, Miaomiao Profound Monarch managed to obtain the True Dragon Celestial Monarch’s Dragon Pearl, offering it to the Upper Truth along with a series of promises, with the rewards to be distributed to the Spirit Beast Sect and Qinglian Sect.

Currently, Lu Qian and Xi Chan Daoist, having been summoned, witnessed the arrival of Taiyi Paradise and the summoning of Miaomiao Profound Monarch to present the True Dragon Treasure Pearl.

At that moment, a long cry resonated once more from the celestial whale above. A voice echoed again: "Xuanwei Sect, for your contributions in offering treasures, a reward is due!"

Golden lotuses surged, and radiant light spread abundantly. Upon the whale’s back, spatial ripples continuously appeared as large treasure ships, each resplendent with myriad colors, began to slowly descend.

The Golden Toad’s eyes widened into round, gleaming orbs as it jumped about, chirping continuously. Xi Chan Daoist reassured it repeatedly, "Yes, yes, I know, these are treasures hard to find anywhere in heaven or earth... Stay calm, old friend; there’s a share here for our Spirit Beast Sect, and I’ll make sure to ask Master for a piece later."

Hearing this, Lu Qian’s heart was stirred.

Could it be that, given his contributions, he might also earn a share?
