The qualification to participate in the Seven Treasures Mystic Grounds was not based on one's cultivation level, but on one's contributions. Thus, the disciples gathered on the Great Qiong Peak were of different ages. There were youths in their teens, and there were also elders in their seventies or eighties.)
"This fellow is only average in terms of talent, but he is actually so arrogant."
Weisuo scanned the area with his divine sense and discovered that among the seven hundred disciples, there were many who were younger than thirty years old, but had already reached the second level of the Severing Thought Realm. Furthermore, there were even a few who had spirit roots. Among these people, that handsome young disciple from the Great Foolish Peak did not stand out at all. However, when Weisuo thought about this fellow's words and actions, he could only sneer in his heart.
Great sects had their own benefits. They could have a stable cultivation environment and a certain amount of spirit stones. However, in the case of the Merit and Virtue Sect, a large amount of resources were still concentrated on the true disciples and elders. Many of the disciples of the outer peaks, if they didn't have any special opportunities, most of them would become cornerstones. A lot of time would be spent on doing things for the sect.
This kind of environment was like a few hundred relatively safe small cities supporting dozens of great cities. This allowed talents to emerge from the great cities to protect the safety of these few hundred small cities. However, the cultivation and development of the cultivators in the few hundred small cities were unknowingly restrained.
Perhaps many young disciples who had already reached the Severing Thought Realm were not recognized and could not become core disciples. They would remain in the Severing Thought Realm for the rest of their lives.
A moment later, a dozen silhouettes flew over from the top of a mountain hidden in the clouds. Most of them were white-haired old men. Wei Suo swept a glance over them without batting an eyelid. Four of them were at the Gold Core stage. One of them was at the late stage of the second stage of the Gold Core stage. The other three were at the first stage of the Gold Core stage.
This group of old men were all elders. According to Weisuo's understanding of the Gongde Sect, they were not outstanding figures among the core disciples. They were a group of people who worked for the sect and did not die. This group of people did not have any special encounters. They followed the prescribed order and cultivated normally. They spent a hundred years to reach the Jin Dan stage.
This group of old men landed in front of the square. Among them, the late Jin Dan second level yellow-robed old man spoke concisely. "We will bring you to the Seven Treasures Secret Grounds immediately. Remember not to make any sound, not to talk with telepathy, and not to use any spells. Otherwise, you will be disqualified from entering the Seven Treasures Secret Grounds to listen to the zen music. Depending on the circumstances, you will be punished severely."
"All disciples, board the ship." After saying this concisely and seeing that all the disciples did not dare to breathe loudly, the yellow-robed old man waved his hand. A white cloud rushed out from his hand and turned into a large white ship.
The large white ship was very large, more than enough to accommodate ten thousand people. It was covered with all kinds of treasure lotus and treasure vine patterns.
This large white ship shocked many disciples, but this was nothing to Weisuo. This was because, judging from the spirit energy rippling from the large white ship, although it was large, it was at most a low-grade Dao level magic treasure.
Weisuo just quietly followed the disciples of the surrounding peaks and boarded the ship.
The yellow-robed old man and the other old men did not waste any words. They did not remind anyone. After all the disciples boarded the ship, the yellow-robed old man waved his hand. The large white ship let out a rumbling sound and glided above the sea of clouds, flying towards the center of the Gongde Sect.
After a moment, the large white ship shook and passed through a transparent glass-like curtain of light.
"Hiss!"
Many people gasped at the same time. They did not dare to make any sound, but the sound of gasps could be heard.
"The Gongde Sect is a great sect with thousands of years of history. Its atmosphere is really amazing. The so-called back mountain of the Gongde Sect is only one of the thirty-three mountain peaks … "Weisuo could not help but squint his eyes. He was slightly shocked.
In this transparent glass-like curtain of light, there were a total of thirty-three mountain peaks.
These thirty-three mountain peaks were completely different from the other peaks in the periphery. The restrictions on each mountain peak emitted all kinds of grand Buddhist light, forming all kinds of strange phenomena. Most of the grand Buddhist light emitted by the mountain peaks dispersed all the surrounding clouds, forming all kinds of strange phenomena.
Some of the Buddhist light enveloped the entire mountain peak, forming huge lotus platforms and huge pagodas. Others formed all kinds of phantoms of Dao Sovereigns and Buddhas.
Within the Buddhist light of each mountain peak, there was a powerful aura. Although he was far away, Weisuo could feel a faint Mysterious Spirit aura from many of the Buddhist lights. It was obvious that most of these restrictions were left behind by The Great and Mighty.
The overall appearance of several mountain peaks was very shocking. One of them was completely golden. The entire mountain was carved into a four-faced golden Buddha. It had a dignified appearance, and there were countless caves on the Buddha's body. There were also cultivators' residences and many Buddha statues.
Half of the mountain peak was carved into a huge green palace. The spirit light on the palace formed a green lotus. This green lotus had a spiritual aura. Compared to the giant golden Buddha, it was clearly another kind of inheritance.
"That mountain peak should be one of the most important places in the Gongde Sect besides the Seven Treasures Hidden Ground. It might be the place where the scriptures are stored." Weisuo looked around attentively. Among the thirty-three mountains, a yellow mountain peak attracted his attention. There were many palaces on this yellow mountain peak, hidden between many towering ancient trees. The Buddhist light on this mountain peak was seven-colored. In his perception, there seemed to be a strong power of the Principle of Great Way in the restrictions on this mountain peak. It seemed to be much stronger than the restrictions on other mountains. At least, The Great and Mighty had engraved divine runes that he had comprehended.
The old man on the white ship seemed to have known that this group of disciples would have such a reaction. He did not say anything at all and just continued to steer the ship forward.
Weisuo frowned unconsciously. He was now very clear about the location of the Seven Treasures Hidden Ground. It was in the middle of a mountain peak in the shape of seven precious flowers formed by the Buddhist light. However, the thirty-three mountains were illuminated by the Buddhist light so that even a bird would find it difficult to hide its tracks. It would be extremely difficult to sneak into the Seven Treasures Hidden Ground and steal the Holy Enlightenment Fruit. Even if the Linglong Tian had the ability to break through all restrictions, the hope of not being discovered in such a large area was too slim. Unless someone brought the Linglong Tian to the vicinity of the Seven Treasures Hidden Ground and then she secretly took action, there was no chance of obtaining it.
After a while, the white ship landed on the mountain peak that Weisuo had secretly identified.
The mountain peak looked solemn from the outside with seven precious flowers blooming in the air. However, it was very plain inside. All that could be seen were ordinary limestone paths and old trees and withered vines. It was even somewhat similar to Little Ling Valley.
This gave Weisuo the feeling that the Buddhist light restrictions on the mountain were added by later cultivators. The entire mountain peak had a very ethereal and hidden feeling. It did not fit in with the aura of the Buddhist light.
He secretly observed the landscape and terrain. However, the mountain peak where the Seven Treasures Hidden Ground was very ordinary. It was completely an ordinary stone mountain that had existed for a long time.
"Follow us." The old man who put away the white ship had a very serious expression. After saying this, the ten old men led the way in front. They walked towards the back of the mountain and came to an open valley.
A gravel path led into the valley. The entire valley was like a simple and unadorned courtyard. There was a small pond and some green stones around it.
In front of the pond was a pinewood monastery. There were some pine trees and bodhi trees around it. The entire valley did not have much rest. It was like the residence of an ordinary hermit.
"These direct disciples and elders have already taken up more than half of the seats!"
Many of the disciples of the peaks who walked into this open valley with Weisuo could not help but feel uneasy and gloomy. Because there were no less than seven hundred cultivators gathered in this valley. Right now, the surroundings of the pinewood monastery, including the rocks by the pond, were filled with cultivators.
The places closer to the monastery could not hold people at all. Even if they chose a place to sit now, they probably would not even be able to see the appearance of the Buddhist Sound Wooden Fish in the monastery.
These white-haired old men didn't say anything. They only made a hand gesture, indicating that Wei Suo and the other ordinary disciples could choose a place to sit. Immediately, almost all the disciples of the peaks scrambled forward, but they didn't dare to make any noise. They fought for a place near the monastery.
However, Wei Suo was not in a hurry. He swept his gaze around, sizing up the surrounding scene once.
Inside the monastery, there was an extremely powerful aura that made him secretly apprehensive. It was clearly the aura of a Spirit Xuan expert, and it was certain that the current Sect Leader of the Merit and Virtue Sect was also inside. According to the records on Mingde and Great Ying Peak, The Great And Mighty who left behind the Buddhist Sound Wooden Fish was the most powerful person in the history of the Gongde Sect. He was infinitely close to becoming a true immortal. His abilities were definitely far above the current Gongde Sect leader's. Thus, the current Gongde Sect leader also came in person to comprehend the mysteries of the Buddhist Sound.
The monastery itself seemed to have an inexplicable spiritual aura that made one's divine sense feel illusory. Other than feeling the powerful aura of the Gongde Sect leader, Weisuo could not clearly sense the existence of any other ancient figures who could pose a threat to him. There was no sign of Mingde outside the monastery. As for whether or not he was inside, Weisuo could not sense it either.
He quickly glanced at the northern end of the valley. He knew that there was a concealment restriction in that area. The Holy Enlightening Fruit should be behind that area. However, looking at the current situation, with the Sect Master of the Merit and Virtue Sect present, he would not be able to sneak over and obtain the Holy Enlightening Fruit himself unless something unexpected happened.
Then, he looked around and immediately saw the place that Zhang Yun had drawn for him on the drawing that Zhang Yun gave him. That place was not far from where he was now. It was on the left side of the valley in front of him. On one side of the valley, there was a short old Bodhi tree. Below it was a bumpy, toad-like rock covered in moss. Beside the rock were some weeds.
