(On the first day of the new month, Six Paths blindly begged for monthly votes.)
The Taiyuan Continent was known as "one mountain every ten miles."
Although it was not as exaggerated as having a mountain every ten miles, it was enough to show that there were many mountains everywhere in the Taiyuan Continent.
According to statistics, the ratio of mountains to other terrains in the Taiyuan Continent was an astonishing five to five.
After getting off the Gale Intercontinental Flying Ship, Chen Zong did not stop and immediately looked for a way to go to the Taiyuan Heaven Sect.
All trades and professions on the Canglan Continent were very developed. Not only were there intercontinental flying ships that specialized in intercontinental travel, but there were also service industries that traveled between different continents. Of course, all of these services were paid.
After paying 20 substandard spiritual sources, Chen Zong spent half a month to cross Taiyuan City and finally arrived at the foot of Taiyuan Mountain.
Taiyuan Mountain was the first mountain in the Taiyuan Continent. Not only did it have the highest number of peaks, but its topography also stretched for hundreds of thousands of miles.
Standing at the foot of Taiyuan Mountain, Chen Zong could feel that the spiritual qi here was a little richer and purer than in other places.
Looking up, there were two mountain peaks that were more than two hundred meters tall but only a few hundred meters in size. They were like a door standing at the very front of the Super Yuan Mountain, and this was indeed the door of the Tai Yuan Heaven Sect.
Chen Zong had seen the mountain gates of some sects that were mostly carved out of various precious materials, but this was the first time he had seen a mountain gate like the Tai Yuan Heavenly Sect. Using two mountains side by side as the gate of the sect was indeed unique, and it also reflected a kind of imposing aura.
If the two peaks were naturally like this, it could only be said that they were lucky. However, if it was man-made, it showed that the experts of the Taiyuan Heaven Sect had extraordinary means.
Between the two portal-like peaks, there was a road that was ten meters wide. It went all the way up and there was no end in sight.
Taking a deep breath, Chen Zong felt a cool and refreshing aura enter his body, making his mind clearer.
Taking firm steps, Chen Zong walked along the winding road step by step. His speed was getting faster and faster. In the end, he was like a gust of wind.
The deeper he walked along the path, the more Chen Zong felt the changes in the Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth. It was a kind of nourishing feeling that made him feel refreshed, as if he would never feel tired.
This was the Super Yuan Mountain, which was completely within the boundaries of the Tai Yuan Heavenly Sect. Chen Zong did not dare to use his full speed, and with some reservations, he spent two hours to arrive at a huge heptagonal platform.
This heptagonal platform had a radius of tens of thousands of meters. On each side, there was a mountain peak that was about a hundred meters tall. The mountain peaks were like the fangs of a dog. They were sunken inwards as if they wanted to cover the entire platform.
Looking into the distance, there were countless overlapping shadows of mountain peaks. There were also thousands of clouds lingering around, making it seem like an immortal paradise.
Retracting his gaze, Chen Zong glanced at the seven fang-like peaks.
There were ancient words on every mountain peak. They looked like carvings, but they also looked like they were formed by the trees on the mountain peak. They looked very natural and harmonious.
Starting from the left, there were Rainbow Mountain, Yaoying Mountain, Green Feather Mountain, Zhen Yuan Mountain, Extreme Sun Mountain, Mingguang Mountain, and Yinyue Mountain.
The Tai Yuan Heavenly Sect was divided into seven mountains. Zhen Yuan Mountain was the Sect Master's mountain, and the other six mountains were controlled by six elders with real power in the Tai Yuan Heavenly Sect.
In a big force like the Tai Yuan Heavenly Sect, there were quite a few powerhouses with the title of Elder. However, there were only six people who could control a mountain and become a Mountain Master. Each of them was a super powerhouse, not inferior to the Sect Master.
Chen Zong wanted to enter Mingguang Mountain through the Vientiane Tower's door. Perhaps it was because the Vientiane Tower was easier to get to Mingguang Mountain, but no matter which mountain it was, it was fine as long as he could enter it.
He set off again and headed in the direction of Mingguang Mountain.
Mingguang Mountain was a mountain. It was more than eight thousand meters tall and covered an area of hundreds of miles. However, preparatory disciples could only stay at the foot of Mingguang Mountain and maintain a certain distance. Only after becoming an official disciple could they truly step into Mingguang Mountain and live there.
The higher one went, the higher the status symbol. When one reached the top, it was the cave residence of the Mingguang Mountain Master, who controlled Mingguang Mountain.
About an hour later, Chen Zong saw a gathering place in the distance. It was like a market, and there were many people walking around. There were also people who set up stalls.
"I want to find the steward of the preparatory disciples. How do I get there?" Chen Zong stopped a person and asked.
"Over there." The person hurriedly pointed in a direction and ignored Chen Zong.
As Chen Zong walked, he saw rows upon rows of wooden houses arranged in picturesque disorder. When he reached the end, he saw a large wooden house. It was several times larger than the other wooden houses. It also seemed to be sturdier and more exquisite.
The door of the big wooden house was open, and there was a symbolic plaque hanging outside the door: Preparatory Department.
"What are you doing here?" A middle-aged man was sitting inside. When he heard Chen Zong's footsteps, he opened his sleepy eyes and glanced at him casually, then asked lazily.
Chen Zong took out the jade tablet that Wan Xiang Tower gave him and handed it to the man.
After the man took it and looked at it, he seemed to be a little more serious. He sat up straight, opened the register, and picked up a pen. However, his tone was still lazy, "Name? Age? Cultivation? "
"Chen Zong, 26 years old, mid-Nine-star level," Chen Zong answered truthfully.
Then, he realized that he was already 26 years old. Probably, he didn't pay much attention to the issue of age. He also didn't care much about the passage of time. He should be around 26 years old, not 27 years old. Chen Zong said again in his heart.
If others knew what he was thinking, they would probably find it funny. He wasn't even sure about his age. This kind of situation often happened to those experts who had lived for hundreds or even thousands of years.
After all, for those experts, sometimes they would go into seclusion for a few years or even longer. No one would be so bored as to calculate their own age.
The lazy middle-aged man was the deacon of the preparatory department, and he was in charge of the registration and arrangement of the preparatory disciples. When he heard Chen Zong's age and cultivation, he was shocked, and his sleepiness disappeared without a trace, and his expression became serious.
It was as if he went from being sleepy to being full of energy.
At 26 years old, he had a mid-Nine-star level cultivation. This was not an ordinary warrior. He was already a genius, enough to be compared with the core disciples in the mountain.
This person entered Mingguang Mountain through other means to become a preparatory disciple because he missed the mountain gate's general election.
Otherwise, there was a problem with his identity.
In any case, this was not something he should care about. If it was the former, it was naturally a good thing for Mingguang Mountain. However, if it was the latter, there would naturally be someone to deal with it.
The registration was completed quickly. After all, preparatory disciples were treated very poorly in the various mountains of the Tai Yuan Sky Sect. It was fine as long as they didn't cause any trouble. Therefore, even if a spy sneaked in, no one would care.
What benefit could a spy get from mingling among the preparatory disciples?
He would get nothing and would just be wasting his time.
After all, non-official disciples were not allowed to step into the mountain. Otherwise, they would be killed.
"This is your preparatory disciple token." The middle-aged deacon took out a token. After carving it, he handed it to Chen Zong.
Chen Zong glanced at it. His name was on it.
"How can I become an official disciple?" Chen Zong put away the token and asked at the same time.
"Every three months, the preparatory disciples will undergo an assessment. After passing the assessment, you can become an official disciple." The middle-aged deacon answered quickly. It seemed that he intended to leave a good impression on Chen Zong. After all, with Chen Zong's talent, if there was no problem with his identity, he would definitely become an official disciple. He could even become a core disciple.
Every core disciple was the mainstay of the younger generation in each mountain. Their status was not comparable to that of a deacon who could only manage the preparatory disciples.
"There are still two months before the next preparatory disciple assessment. At that time, an announcement will be made three days in advance. If you are interested, you can sign up for the assessment. I believe that with your talent, you will definitely become an official disciple." The middle-aged deacon smiled and said, "Let's go. I will take you to the place where you live."
"Thank you." After saying that, Chen Zong turned and left.
The middle-aged deacon was too lazy to pay attention to ordinary preparatory disciples. He would usually give them the key and let them find their own house.
However, Chen Zong's type naturally had to be treated differently. It was nothing more than showing him the way and saying a few words. Maybe he could make some connections.
Along the way, the middle-aged deacon used the simplest words to introduce Chen Zong to the preparatory disciples. Chen Zong also asked about other things, such as official disciples and so on.
There was nothing special about a wooden house. The layout was simple, that was all.
"The conditions for a preparatory disciple are relatively ordinary. However, if you become an official disciple, it will be different." The middle-aged deacon opened the door and said to Chen Zong with a smile, "You have to bear with it for a while."
"It's okay." Chen Zong responded calmly. It would be good to have better conditions. However, if he did not have better conditions, Chen Zong would not complain.
After all, it was just a temporary place to stay.
"If you have any questions, feel free to come to me. My surname is Wang. I am responsible for all kinds of matters regarding the preparatory disciples." The middle-aged deacon smiled and said.
"Thank you, Deacon Wang." Chen Zong responded with a smile.
Of course, Chen Zong knew that the other party was trying to befriend him. Of course, Chen Zong wouldn't reject him outright. Everything was up to his heart. If he had the energy to spare, it wasn't impossible for him to help him in the future.
Deacon Wang was very sensible and did not continue to stay. That would only cause resentment.
According to Deacon Wang, the number of preparatory disciples was as many as ten thousand. This was undoubtedly a very shocking number because this was only Mingguang Mountain. If all the seven mountains of the Tai Yuan Heaven Sect were counted, then the number of preparatory disciples might reach as many as one hundred thousand.
However, this was also very normal. After all, this was the Blue Waves Continent. Whether it was the population, the cultivation environment, the cultivation resources, the inheritance and so on, it was many times better than Chaotian Island. It was like the contrast between a firefly and the bright moon.
