Lin Feng retracted his gaze and turned to look at the handsome young man who was dressed in a purple outfit and a black robe.
The young man's spirit was pressing but also imposing, he had already developed the bearing of a grandmaster. He was precisely Lin Feng's head disciple, Xiao Yan.
Xiao Yan said, "Other than some small and medium-sized forces, there are already nine large forces that have arrived at Cloud Peak, including the Reincarnation Sect and the Heaven Way."
"They are the Northern Militant Royal Palace, the Purple Cloud Path, the Thunderbolt Sword Sect, the Wilderness Sword Sect, the Celeritas Sword Sect, the Hell Path of the Reincarnation Sect, the Human Path of the Reincarnation Sect, the Red Cloud Sect, and the Heaven Path of the Reincarnation Sect."
The Scarlet Cloud Sect was a local sect in the southern foothills of Kunlun Mountain. After the destruction of the Wind God Sect, it was the first sect in the southern foothills of Kunlun Mountain to approach the Celestial Sect of Profound Gate. After the Celestial Mystic Realm was established, it was also the first force to express its full allegiance.
It was a medium sect. Although it didn't have a Primordial Soul Realm powerhouse, it had many Yuanying Stage Patriarchs. Its overall strength and potential were on par with Beyond Heaven Mountain. It could basically be seen as the number one follower of Xuanmen Tianzong in Kunlun Mountain.
Xiao Yan continued, "The guests from the Hell Path and Human Path of the Reincarnation Sect have been settled. They are separate from the accommodations we prepared for the guests from the Heaven Way of the Reincarnation Sect."
The Six Paths of Reincarnation had endless internal strife. As the Heavenly Path was the strongest, it was often resisted by the other paths. Although there were times when the other paths would submit to the Heavenly Path, the Asura Path and the Heavenly Path were sworn enemies. As for the Human Path and the Hell Path, they had always been closer to the Asura Path.
"I'll leave these matters to you." Lin Feng faintly smiled, Xiao Yan nodded his head. After thinking for a bit he asked: "Master, this time the internal competition of our Celestial Sect of Xuan disciples as well as the exchange of talents with other sects, will it be conducted separately?"
Lin Feng smiled and said, "It's different from the competition at the Barren Sea Assembly. We'll do it in a different way."
Xiao Yan's eyes lit up. "Oh? That's interesting. "
"This competition will be a test for all of you," said Lin Feng with a smile. "As for the true disciples of the sect, this competition will be a test. Those who perform outstandingly, in addition to being rewarded, will also be allowed to graduate from apprenticeship. The outstanding second-generation true disciples will also be allowed to begin accepting apprentices."
Xiao Yan smiled and said, "Are you saying that our sect will have three generations of true disciples?"
Lin Feng said: "If you have good seedlings that you like, you can still take them in as disciples. True disciples still have one chance to choose. First of all, you will have to choose between the caves of the few of you. After entering your cave, you guys can decide how to arrange it."
As he spoke, he glanced at Xiao Yan and lightly said, "This time, we are opening the mountain gate to invite guests and friends, and there will be a gathering of heroes. In addition to the competition between the younger generation of disciples, you guys should also keep your spirits up. You have a lot of work to do."
Xiao Yan smiled faintly. He, Wang Lin, and Shi Tianhao naturally knew what Lin Feng meant.
This time, inviting fellow daoists to attend the ceremony was actually equivalent to an alliance meeting led by the Celestial Sect of Xuan Men. In a relatively peaceful way, they would display their own strength, shock others, and constantly deepen and establish the position of the Celestial Sect of Xuan Men in the vast land of the Divine Continent.
During this period, apart from the competition between the younger generation of disciples, the core forces of their level would have to compete with experts of the same level from other forces.
Lin Feng looked at his eldest disciple and said with a smile, "Your little wife is coming this time too."
Xiao Yan heard that and instantly chuckled. "She should be here soon."
"Then go and pick her up." Lin Feng waved his hand. Xiao Yan smiled and bowed to him, then left.
Xiao Yan descended from Yujing Mountain and flew towards the southern mountain range of Cloud Peak. When he passed by Cloud Mirror City, his expression changed slightly. He looked down and saw a group of people walking in Cloud Mirror City.
"People from Beyond Heavens Mountain?" Xiao Yan immediately recognized Wu Yun Liang and Meng Chaoran, whom he had met a few times.
Under normal circumstances, foreign guests would be directly brought to Cloud Peak. Those who were qualified to meet Lin Feng were given the opportunity to go to Yujing Mountain. After Lin Feng received them, they would return to Cloud Peak to rest.
However, there were also some guests who wanted to tour around Cloud Mirror City and Mirror Lake. This was also allowed, and Xuanmen Tianzong would send people to accompany them.
A young man in his late twenties was currently accompanying a group of people from Beyond Heavens Mountain on a tour around Cloud Mirror City.
This young man had lively eyes and was dressed in a purple robe. There was a Tai Chi pattern embroidered on the lapel of his robe. There were white lines on his sleeves that outlined the pattern of a tornado with just a few strokes.
Although his cultivation was only at the middle stage of Foundation Establishment, Wu Yun Liang and Meng Chaoran did not dare to ignore him and politely conversed with him.
Although this young man was still young, he had a sense of propriety when dealing with people.
Xiao Yan looked at this scene and smiled in his heart. "Xiao Huan has also grown up. I remember when I first met him, he was also a child."
The young man accompanying Wu Yun Liang and Meng Chaoran was Yue Hongyan's direct disciple, Zhao Huan. In the past, he was captured by the Hundred Herb Sect and was almost refined into a Human Elemental Pill.
After being rescued by Lin Feng, he became a disciple of Xuanmen Tianzong. Later, he passed the test and became a direct disciple.
That batch of disciples had overdrawn their potential. Although they received guidance from Lin Feng, Kang Nanhua, and the others and digested the medicinal power in their bodies on their own, they had the hope of forming their Gold Core. However, they could only form a Yellow Core at most, and their path of advancement was cut off.
Only a few people had outstanding willpower and comprehension, and they had the possibility of changing their fate.
Zhao Huan was one of the most outstanding people. He had the power of a Void Core, so his cultivation realm would actually increase faster than Xu Yunsheng and the others. However, disaster and fortune came hand in hand. The result of blindly increasing his cultivation realm might lead him to a dead end.
Therefore, under Yue Hongyan's guidance, he deliberately suppressed his speed of improvement and advanced steadily step by step. Although it seemed to be slow now, it had changed his fate in the future.
Zhao Huan had advanced to the middle stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm and established a second grade Spirit Platform. If there were no accidents during the next round of condensing the Pill Cauldron, then he would have the hope of reaching the Purple Core when he formed his Gold Core.
At this moment, Zhao Huan had completely gotten rid of the haze of the past. He had grown up and was no longer the snot-nosed child from before. In front of Wu Yunliang, Meng Chaoran, and the others, he was neither servile nor overbearing.
Behind Meng Chaoran, a tall young man with bright eyes moved forward with the group at a moderate pace. Other than a pair of bright eyes, he seemed very ordinary in all other aspects.
However, Xiao Yan, who was in the sky, had a strange feeling when he looked at this young man. It was as if he was looking at a peerless divine sword hidden deep in its scabbard.
The young man was Chu Yang. He looked up at the sky in surprise, but did not discover anything. He could not help but mutter in his heart, "Is it my illusion?"
Shaking his head, Chu Yang once again focused his attention on the Cloud Mirror City in front of him.
The current Cloud Mirror City was no longer as desolate as it was when it was first built. The houses and buildings were arranged in rows and rows of pavilions. It looked abnormally prosperous.
The streets were crowded with horses and carriages. Pedestrians crowded shoulder to shoulder, flowing in an endless stream. There were all kinds of shops on both sides of the street.
"It's completely a bustling new city." Chu Yang observed the pedestrians. "It's not just cultivators. Most of the people in the city are ordinary mortals."
Although it was deep in the mountains, Lin Feng had set up a teleportation array, so it was not isolated from the world. Transportation was very convenient.
There were two arrays in the south and north of the city, connecting this place to the entrance of the Sand Continent City and the Mystic Heaven Realm respectively. The three places were interconnected and had a close relationship.
There was another array in the west of the city. It was a Spirit Gathering Array that guided the Spirit Qi of Heaven and Earth to gather in the city. Although it was not as powerful as the array on the Cloud Peak, it was still quite effective. It guided the Spirit Qi to nourish the people in the city.
Cultivators could use it to cultivate, and ordinary people living in the city had the effect of prolonging their lives.
Other than the relatives and family of the disciples, there were many other people who migrated here to make a living. After being examined by Xuanmen Tianzong, they could settle down here.
In the past few years of development, the Cloud Mirror City had completely changed. Because of the Celestial Sect of the Celestial Sect of the Mysterious Gate, many people in the Sand Continent City had started to move here. The Heavenly Trade Pavilion had also set up a branch in the city, making it even more prosperous.
Many small and medium-sized forces in the Kunlun Mountain Range also liked to come here to communicate with the outside world. They exported the local resources of the Kunlun Mountain Range to the outside world and received resources from the outside world at the same time.
Everything was carried out in an orderly manner, which gave these small and medium-sized forces a lot of security. It also saved them a lot of trouble. They did not need to leave the Kunlun Mountain Range to carry out trade, and they would not be bullied by the big forces in other places.
This also made them more closely united around Xuanmen Tianzong.
"However, in the past, the thing that gave other big forces the most headaches about Xuanmen Tianzong was that Yujing Mountain was unpredictable. Even if they wanted to block the door and cause trouble, they could not find the door.
"Now, with Cloud Mirror City and the Heaven Mystic Realm, although their development is getting better and their influence is growing, it is equivalent to setting up a target for those who have ill intentions. If someone wants to destroy them, there is a way to do so." Chu Yang thought to himself, "Although the core of Xuanmen Tianzong is still in Yujing Mountain, and even if Cloud Mirror City and the Heaven Mystic Realm are destroyed, it will not hurt their foundation, but not only will they lose face, all their previous efforts will be in vain."
Chu Yang's gaze turned and sized up the pedestrian streets in Cloud Mirror City. "This is a path that must be taken for the sect to develop and grow, but it also buries hidden dangers in the future. It is hard to say what will be gained or lost. It all depends on how the master of the Mystic Gate and his disciples handle it."
Thinking of this, Chu Yang's gaze drifted. He looked up at the empty sky. Although he knew that Yujing Mountain might not be there, Chu Yang could not help but look up.
"Qingwu …" Chu Yang took a deep breath and retracted his gaze from the sky. His gaze faintly flashed past the back of a middle-aged man in front of him.
That was his second martial uncle and also one of the core members of Beyond Sky Mountain.
Before this, he was a chess piece that Wu Qingrou had placed in Beyond Sky Mountain. In Chu Yang's memory, the destruction of Beyond Sky Mountain was directly related to this person.
But now …
Chu Yang's eyelids drooped and he completely withdrew all his sharpness. He continued to follow behind the elders without saying a word. His gaze swept across the streets of Cloud Mirror City again. Just like the other disciples of Beyond Sky Mountain, there was only pure admiration and curiosity.
