Chapter 799 - 891 Daoist Mountain
The chief elder of the Talisman Master’s faction, Yimei Daoist, was certainly unable to compete, so he had to give up his thoughts on the Ice Spirit and instead turned his gaze to Bai Hua.
This person is not a disciple of any particular vein, surely no one will compete with me for him.
However, Bai Hua himself refused.
He yearned for the Alchemy Dao and had no interest in Swordsmanship or Array, so he politely declined.
Yimei Daoist, seeing that he repeatedly failed to recruit disciples, looked somewhat troubled. It seemed to be the first time he had encountered so many people who did not take him seriously.
But so many people watching, if he didn’t recruit any disciples, it would be even more embarrassing, so he symbolically recruited a high-level Purple Body disciple and then left.
Too embarrassing.
Subsequently, the elders of the Daoist Alliance came one by one to select disciples.
As for the disciples who were not chosen, they would not be left to their own devices after entering the Daoist Alliance; there would be specialized stewards to teach them.
The teaching level of the stewards might not necessarily be weaker than that of the elders.
For example, some basic things that the elders found troublesome, they would let the disciples comprehend themselves, unwilling to teach.
While the stewards would teach from the basics, step by step.
If you choose the Alchemy Dao, there will be specialized stewards teaching you from the very basics of identifying herbs, distinguishing which herbs cannot be combined, and which combinations have better effects.
However, since the stewards’ realm is not as high as the elders, they can’t teach some high-level knowledge, there is an upper limit.
...
After the selection of disciples was over, the Daoist Alliance assessment was completely announced to be over, and people began to gradually disperse.
Even though three days later was the official entry day for new disciples.
But this didn’t mean they couldn’t enter the Daoist Alliance during these three days.
Chen Mo had Qianyi and the others stay at the Shenxiao Sect’s station in Eight Trigrams City first, and then he and Xiao Jiu followed Zuoqiu Yiren into the Daoist Alliance.
According to Zuoqiu Yiren’s intention, she wanted to introduce them to the Daoist Alliance first and let them choose their caves.
...
Despite observing the extraordinary nature of the Daoist Alliance on the way to Eight Trigrams City, only upon truly entering it did they realize its vastness and immensity.
In the heavens and earth, True Qi faintly formed various phenomena, an innate feeling emerged spontaneously.
They then saw, amidst the numerous ancient mountains, clouds and mist curling, floating islands standing in the void.
High in the sky, a black and white Taiji faintly appeared, connecting the whole sky and forming an extremely huge barrier, covering down as if encompassing the entire world.
Indescribable might radiated out, just threads of it caused Chen Mo to feel a sense of fear.
When they entered here, they could clearly feel the barrier’s light shining down, as if conducting a second identity verification.
Every place here seemed like a blessed land of caverns and paradises.
"This heaven and earth within the Daoist Alliance is from before the Battle of Deification, when the Primordial Heaven’s True Qi was a hundredfold or thousandfold of what it is today, because it was sealed by the Innate Tai Chi Diagram, maintaining the state before the Battle of Deification for hundreds of thousands of years, without a bit of loss," Zuoqiu Yiren explained to the two, then said, "You can carefully feel it."
Hearing this, Chen Mo and Xiao Jiu closed their eyes, and they immediately sensed the heaven and earth seemed to clear up at this moment, and the rich Heaven and Earth Energy surged into their bodies with each breath, washing over their physiques repeatedly.
Zuoqiu Yiren’s voice echoed in their ears: "Before the Battle of Deification, there were only four realms: Qi Refining, Divinity Transformation, Void Realm, and Crossing the Tribulation. One could become an Immortal by fully cultivating these four realms to perfection. Later, the Great Dao was completed, Heavenly Court was established, the realms were divided into nine, which could better establish a foundation, but inevitably it was due to the changes in heaven and earth, making it more difficult to become an Immortal nowadays..."
Chen Mo understood the meaning in Zuoqiu Yiren’s words.
The heaven and earth within the Daoist Alliance is the heaven and earth before the Battle of Deification.
Cultivating within the Daoist Alliance allows one to become an Immortal faster, and it is relatively simpler.
"This is just the periphery of the Daoist Alliance." Zuoqiu Yiren smiled and said: "Now, I’ll take you to the place where the core disciples cultivate."
As her words fell, Zuoqiu Yiren summoned her Purple Gold Gourd, enlarged it, and the three stood upon it. Under Zuoqiu Yiren’s control, the gourd swept past giant mountains one after another.
During this time, Zuoqiu Yiren would also point out to the two that this is the Pill Island. If you need to refine pills or find a Guardian Elder of Alchemy, you can come here.
"This is the Array Island." Zuoqiu pointed to a large island surrounded by countless runes, saying.
"This is the Collection Hall, the place where the Daoist Alliance stores Cultivation Techniques and Divine Techniques. With the disciple level of you two, you can freely browse and cultivate the cultivation techniques and divine techniques inside, but you cannot take them out of the Collection Hall."
Zuoqiu Yiren pointed to a floating island at a distance. Saying it’s an island, it looked more like an open giant book, because the island’s shape was that of a great book.
As her words fell, a tremendously magnificent giant mountain appeared before them.
At the mountainside of the giant mountain, a tremendously large square was developed, where at that moment, there were constantly light and shadows howling in from all directions, landing on the square, the atmosphere lively and bustling.
"This is the Daoist Mountain. Every once in a while, a Daoism great figure from the Immortal Realm will descend a will through the statues built within Daoist Mountain and then impart Dao here, regardless of whether you’re an Outer Sect Disciple, Inner Sect Disciple, or Core Disciple, you can come here for enlightenment. How much you comprehend depends on your individual talent." Zuoqiu Yiren smiled.
"Yiren sis, is there a great figure from the Immortal Realm coming down now?" Chen Mo looked at so many people gathered here, asking curiously.
Zuoqiu Yiren shook her head: "If a great figure descends to impart Dao, the Disciple Token will notify you."
Zuoqiu Yiren took out her Disciple Token and waved it in front of Chen Mo.
She was an old disciple of the Daoist Alliance, but after breaking through to the Void Realm, she left the Daoist Alliance and stayed at Shenxiao Sect; otherwise, with her current strength, she could completely become a Guardian Elder of the Daoist Alliance.
"Because Daoist Mountain is closest to the Collection Hall, and Daoist Mountain has Enlightenment Rooms, even when no great figures are imparting Dao, this place also became a place where disciples come to cultivate Cultivation Techniques, Divine Techniques, and go into seclusion for training.
However, because too many people use it, there have even been fights over competing for the Enlightenment Room, so to enter the Enlightenment Room now, the Daoist Alliance charges a fee—a thousand Low Grade Spirit Stones per day, first come, first served. But even so, if you don’t stake out, it’s basically impossible to snatch a spot."
Chen Mo nodded.
Zuoqiu Yiren did not stop at Daoist Mountain; after explaining to Chen Mo and Xiao Jiu, she continued to fly forward.
"Isn’t that Zuoqiu Fairy?"
A disciple on Daoist Mountain saw the people on the gourd and exclaimed.
"It really is Zuoqiu Fairy, who is that man beside her?"
"Haven’t you heard? Zuoqiu Fairy recently took a disciple named Chen Mo, who tested for the Three Immortal Body during the physique test. Just now, that man was probably Chen Mo."
"What, Three Immortal Body..."
