Qin Di couldn't help but feel shocked when he thought about the past. "The Four Divine Sect is that powerful? They actually have nine Earth Immortals! I wonder how many are left? "
Zhu Xianxing shook her head. "I've been away from the sect for too long. I don't know what the situation is like now. Little Qin, when I return to the Four Divine Sect, I want to find an immortal mountain to live in. Do you want to occupy a peak all by yourself? Or do you want to live on the immortal mountain with me? "
Qin Di looked at the seventy-three Dayan and the others. "Master Dayan, what do you think?"
The seventy-three Dayan answered, "I'm just a loner and don't want to occupy a peak all by myself. Qin Di, you should know that each peak here can accommodate three thousand people! You only have a dozen disciples and family members. You're too weak, so I want to live with you. What do you think? "
Qin Di was overjoyed. "Of course! Master Ancestor Shi, Master Ancestor Fang, what are your plans? "
Shi Babao and Fang Jiufu looked at each other. "We're fusing with the Dao, but our souls aren't complete. Compared to a true fusing with the Dao, our power is much weaker, so it's not suitable for everyone to occupy a peak. Before our souls are complete, we still want to rely on you."
Qin Di smiled. "That's good! I'll see if I can choose a peak next to Master Zhu's immortal mountain. Everyone will live closer, and it'll be more convenient to travel. "
As they spoke, a tall mountain appeared in front of them. It was extremely tall, and the clouds only circled around its waist.
The Sky-reaching Ship flew closer and pierced through the clouds. There was a heavenly pillar high up on the peak, but it was broken in the middle! It was like a skyscraper had been split in half by lightning! It fell head first to the ground, crashing into countless mountains and causing numerous avalanches.
Zhu Xianxing couldn't help but sigh. "This is the first peak of the spiritual mountain. It's two hundred thousand feet tall, and the heavenly pillar is eighteen thousand feet tall! There used to be many Perfected Cultivators on the mountain. Every cultivator who has reached the late-stage of Void Step or the early-stage of Dao Integration can ascend to the first peak of Spirited Mountain and climb up the Heavenly Pillar. At the top of the Heavenly Pillar, they can receive the baptism of the astral winds and absorb the Purplish-Green Qi to condense the Purplish-Green Great Medicine. "
"When my cultivation reaches a certain level, I can reach the second peak of the Spirited Mountain and climb to the top of the Heavenly Pillar to continue my baptism. The second peak of the Spirited Mountain was three hundred thousand feet tall, and the Heavenly Pillar was thirty-six thousand feet tall. The Heavenly Pillars of the Nine Peaks of the Spirited Mountain were each taller than the other. The baptism of the astral winds was getting more and more terrifying. Generally speaking, only those with high enough skills can withstand the devastation of the astral wind. "
"Look, now that the first pillar has fallen, and so has the second pillar. This means that the Enlightened Cultivator lacks two trials. Jumping straight to the third peak is too difficult."
Qin Di steered the Sky-reaching Ship forward, and sure enough, he saw an even taller mountain. The Heavenly Pillar at the top had also collapsed.
As he continued flying forward, he saw the third peak of the Spirited Mountain. The Heavenly Pillar at the top was like a bamboo pole, thin and long, piercing through the clouds. However, there was a platform at the top that looked like an umbrella, flat and wide. At this moment, there were many people sitting on the platform cultivating.
Zhu Xianmin introduced, "The third Spirited Mountain is eighty thousand feet tall, and the Heavenly Pillar at the top is eighty thousand feet tall. Generally speaking, one needs to cultivate on it for three hundred and sixty years to have a chance of achieving perfection. However, in less than three hundred years, this Heavenly Pillar will collapse, so these people will most likely fail. Sigh … "
The Sky-reaching Ship went around the third Heavenly Pillar and soon arrived at the fourth peak of the Spirited Mountain.
This peak was even taller. Just the flying ship flying past the peak made everyone shiver and shiver. Gusts of bone-piercing cold wind! Looking up at the Heavenly Pillar that was so tall that they couldn't see its peak, everyone felt even more terrified!
Zhu Xianmin continued, "The fifth Spirited Mountain is one hundred and forty-seven thousand feet tall, and the Heavenly Pillar at the top is one hundred and fifty-six thousand feet tall. One needs to cultivate on it for at least nine hundred and ninety years to achieve perfection. Those people won't stand a chance!"
Seeing that there were still people climbing up the thin Heavenly Pillar, Qin Di couldn't help but sigh. "Even though they know it's impossible, they still do it. These people can be considered as brave warriors among the cultivators!"
The Sky-reaching Ship continued flying forward. When they reached the sixth peak, Qin Di didn't feel anything, but the third generation disciples were already unable to endure the onslaught of the astral winds. Thus, he could only steer the Sky-reaching Ship past the middle of the mountain.
The mountain got higher and higher, and the Heavenly Pillar got higher and higher.
The ninth peak of the Spirited Mountain was immeasurably tall, and the Heavenly Pillar at the top was said to be connected to the Spiritual Realm. It didn't matter if one was a Dao Integration Stage cultivator or an Earth Immortal. As long as one could endure the baptism of the astral winds and climb up the Heavenly Pillar to the top, they would be able to leave the mainland and enter the Spiritual Realm!
Looking at the tall mountain peak and the indistinct Heavenly Pillar in the clouds, Qin Di couldn't help but shake his head. "It's really not easy to cultivate. Such a tall Heavenly Pillar, it's scary just thinking about it!"
It was still okay for him. At worst, he could brace himself to climb up and make up his mind. But if it was a cultivator like his mother, Madam Wang Qin, she would never waste the effort to climb up!
Thus, Qin Di thought, Not to mention that the Spirited Mountain is about to collapse, even if it doesn't, it'll be difficult for me to lead everyone to the Spiritual Realm. Thus, the best way is to find the immortal-grade teleportation array left behind by Immortal Lord Liu and directly climb to the top!
He steered the Sky-reaching Ship and circled around the nine peaks of the Spirited Mountain. Then, under the guidance of the patriarchs, he turned east and flew toward the Immortal Willow Mountain Range where the Four Divine Sect was located. He only put away the Sky-reaching Ship when he saw that they were at the foot of the sect's Yunwu Peak.
Under the guidance of Zhu Xianmin and the three patriarchs, the group of people walked up the mountain.
Along the way, they passed through several inspections and passed through several large arrays. By the time they reached the top of the mountain, the four sect masters and many Dao Reunion Perfected Cultivators had already been alerted.
Many people came forward to greet the four patriarchs.
Zhu Xianmin was an Earth Immortal and had been the sect master of the Jindan Sect for many years. Although many generations had passed, she was still famous. Moreover, according to seniority, she was the patriarch of the sect.
Dayan 73 was the sect master of the Dayan Sect many years ago and was also supported by a group of people.
Although Shi Babao and Fang Jiufu had never been sect masters, they were still the elders of their respective sects. They were both famous Grand Masters back then and were naturally respected.
Thus, on the top of the Yunwu Peak, the four current sect masters held a big banquet to welcome the patriarch's return!
Qin Di didn't say a word and followed behind Shi Babao.
As the younger generation, the disciples' cultivation was too shallow and they had no room to speak.
Zhu Xianmin knew that Qin Di didn't like to play to the gallery, so she simply said, "They are all disciples of the Jindan Sect from the lower reaches of the Tongtian River. They came with me to the main sect of the Spiritual Mountain. You can arrange it as you see fit."
The Jindan Sect Master nodded quickly. "No problem! I will personally arrange it after the banquet. "
During the banquet, when everyone talked about the current situation of the Four Divine Sect, the sect masters shook their heads.
The Jindan Sect Master smiled bitterly. "Patriarch, ever since you left, the Four Divine Sect has become weaker and weaker. Now, the Four Divine Sect only has two Earth Immortals and eleven Dao Reunion Cultivators left. Not to mention being at the bottom of the nine orthodox sects, even many of the thirty-six unorthodox groups have surpassed us. "
The Celestial Seal Sect Master also said, "Our sect occupies the Immortal Willow Mountain Range. Fortunately, the patriarchs set up immortal arrays to protect us, so we can still keep half of the territory. The other half has been attacked by other sects and can't be taken back! Now, six of the nine immortal mountains are in the hands of the Four Divine Sect. We have lost sixty of the one hundred and eight main peaks and almost a thousand small peaks! Alas, we are really ashamed to face the patriarchs! "
The Celestial Artifact Sect Master sighed. "There is no other way. In recent years, the two Earth Immortal Patriarchs have been staying in the eighth and ninth peaks of the Spiritual Mountain. They want to climb to the Spiritual Realm before the Heavenly Pillar collapses, so they can't care about the sect. The remaining eleven Dao Reunion Cultivators are also immersed in alchemy and refining weapons. Few of them are good at killing, so the status of the sect is deteriorating. The sect's territory is also being nibbled away by others. The few of us are trapped and don't know what to do. "
The Grand Evolution Sect Master also said, "Patriarchs, you should know that in the last few hundred years, there have been two consecutive collapses of the Spiritual Mountain. Every time the Heavenly Pillar collapses, it causes tremors in the earth veins and destroys many mountains. Because of this, many sects have lost their homes. These sects have no place to cultivate, so they go around plundering and seizing other people's territory. Our Four Divine Sect occupies a treasured land. Not only is it rich in spiritual energy, but it is also not affected by the collapse of the Heavenly Pillar. When Patriarch Liu Huayang opened the sect, he had already calculated the scope of the collapse of the Spiritual Mountain, so our territory is extremely popular. Many sects want to come over and take a bite. All these years, in order to protect our territory, our sect has fought many times and lost many disciples. If not for the protection of the third-stage immortal array, the entire sect might have been wiped out! "
