Wanguu Peak was delighted, while the other peaks around it were envious.
However, there was nothing they could do about it. In fact, some big peaks had branches in the Mortal World. However, the cultivation environment in the Mortal World was very bad now, and their Immortal Powers had been exhausted. Many years ago, Jin Xian could often come up from the Mortal World, but since their Immortal Powers were exhausted, the number of Jin Xian coming from the Mortal World became fewer and fewer.
Among the 3,000 Mortal Worlds, less than 30 people came to the Untainted Land every year. These 30 people were not all from the branches of Mount Shu. There were many other sects or rogue cultivators. Only a few people from Mount Shu would come from the Mortal World every hundred years.
Usually, even if someone came from the Mortal World, it was usually one person. This time, two people came at once. Many people could only sigh at Wanguu Peak's good luck recently. Not only did he get a good job, but he also got two Jin Xian. Wanguu Peak's ranking would probably rise again. In the resource distribution of the peaks, Wanguu Peak would definitely get more resources than before.
The location of the 3,000 side peaks of Mount Shu was not fixed. Besides, the cultivation resources on the peaks were mostly distributed by the main peak. If they only relied on cultivation, the resources would definitely not be enough. After all, many resources took thousands of years to grow, and most of them had to be supplied by the main peak.
The main peak firmly controlled all the side peaks by distributing the resources. This kind of management model had been in Mount Shu for a long time.
Every thousand years, the main peak would distribute the resources. The distribution was not based on the number of people, but on the strength. The stronger the side peak, the more resources it would get.
The strongest side peak would get the most resources, and so on. The lower the ranking, the less resources it would get. Over the years, the last main peak would get the least resources, and the last side peak would only get one share of the resources allocated by the main peak, which was not even enough for a Fairy Immortal.
The different resource distribution caused competition among the peaks. However, Mount Shu prohibited the use of underhanded means to compete with each other. Once it was discovered, it would be severely punished. In addition, the main peak of Mount Shu had an advantage in guiding people, so the competition among the side peaks was not bad and had always been on the surface.
Of course, it was impossible for there to be no underhanded tricks, but they were all small tricks that did not have a big impact on the overall strength.
Other than the allocation of resources, the ranking was also very important. The ranking meant the distance between the side peaks and the main peak. The closer one was to the main peak, the more immortal energy one would have and the better the cultivation environment would be. The various side peaks of Mount Shu were not fixed. They could be moved. After the ranking, they would move according to the ranking.
Many people were guessing whether Wanguu Peak would move up a few names and change its position after the allocation of resources this time.

. The arrival of Gu Zheng brought more than one surprise to them....
Gu Zheng actually had excellent culinary skills. In the past few days, Gu Zheng had made a total of three delicacies. Each time, they ate to their heart's content. They finally understood why He Zu Dao, one of the three heroes of Kunlun, kept following Gu Zheng.
Previously, He Zudao had used the excuse of visiting a good friend of his from Shushan as an excuse. When he arrived at Shushan, he simply stayed at Myriad Valley Peak and did not mention anything about visiting that good friend. Gu Zheng understood all of this and did not mention it either.
"Martial Uncles, Master invites you in!"
When the sun had just risen, a young woman in her twenties stood respectfully in front of Gu Zheng and Sora Aoi's residence. Originally, Chang Mei had given each of them a residence, but Sora Aoi had refused. He wanted to live with Gu Zheng and did not want his own residence.
Fortunately, the houses provided by Wan Gu Peak for Jin Xian to live in were very large. They all had several entrances and exits with courtyards. If Jin Xian accepted a disciple, the disciple could live with the master. The disciple also had the task of taking care of the master.
The woman's master was Long Mei. The woman was not old, less than forty years old. However, she looked like she was only in her twenties. She was already at the late stage of Qi Refining. In Untainted Land, the speed of cultivation was not slow, but it was not fast either. Many people practiced and became immortals before they were 20 years old. She broke through and became immortals in her twenties, which was slower than the real geniuses.
"I know. We'll go there right away!"
Gu Zheng nodded. Long Mei had asked him before whether he wanted to accept two disciples to take care of him first. Ordinary cultivators of Mount Shu were not allowed to enter. Those ordinary Divine Immortals were both disciples and servants. It was their responsibility to take care of the master.
However, Gu Zheng refused. He did not have the habit of being served by others. Moreover, he had not practiced for a long time. If he accepted disciples, especially Divine Immortals' disciples, he did not know how to teach them. Therefore, he gave up.
"Junior Brothers, I'll take you to choose a Fairy Sword today!"
Long Mei had been waiting for them. When he saw them coming out, he immediately said with a smile. Choosing a Fairy Sword was something that every Mount Shu disciple had to do. After those ordinary disciples practiced and became immortals, they would go to the main peak to choose a Fairy Sword.
This Fairy Sword would accompany them for a lifetime until they died. Then, the Fairy Sword would return by itself.
However, although it was said that the Immortal Swords were chosen, it was actually the Immortal Swords that chose them. All the Immortal Swords of Shushan seemed to have spiritual intelligence. They would choose according to the potential of the person who came. Good Immortal Swords and high-level Immortal Swords were very arrogant. Those who did not have a certain level of potential would definitely not choose them. If a disciple was not chosen by the Immortal Sword, then he would be randomly assigned an Immortal Sword.
The randomly assigned Fairy Swords were naturally the most ordinary ones.
However, this kind of thing would not happen to Jin Xian. When Jin Xian went to choose a Fairy Sword, there would be good Fairy Swords flying out. Sometimes, there would be more than one. If there were many Fairy Swords, it would be the disciple's turn to choose. At that time, he could choose a Fairy Sword that he liked.
This kind of phenomenon was not common. These Fairy Swords were very arrogant. Once one Fairy Sword flew out first, the other Fairy Swords would not move. Generally speaking, when choosing a Fairy Sword, only one Fairy Sword would appear.
To choose a Fairy Sword, one had to go to the main peak. Long Mei did not call anyone else. He directly took Gu Zheng and Sun Yunsheng and flew towards the main peak.
The Myriad Valley Peak was very close to the main peak. It was less than a hundred miles away. It was much better than the furthest side. The furthest side was thousands of miles away from the main peak. If ordinary Divine Immortals wanted to go to the main peak, they would need to fly for a while.
Jin Xian's speed was very fast. In the blink of an eye, they arrived at the main peak. However, they could not fly on the main peak. They had to land halfway up the mountain. There was an anti-flying array set up on the main peak. Only when the array was removed could they fly in the main peak.
The main peak was very big. Looking up, they could not see the top at all.
"Fortunately, the Sword Sea is halfway up the mountain. We don't have to walk much!"
Long Mei told Gu Zheng and Sun Yunsheng that the Sword Sea was the place to choose a Fairy Sword. Every Shushan disciple would come to choose a Fairy Sword. Usually, there were many people in the Sword Sea. Sometimes, they would have to line up. However, they did not need to. They were Jin Xian. Jin Xian came to choose a Fairy Sword first and did not need to line up.
The Sword Sea was indeed not far. With Long Mei following, the three of them arrived there very quickly.
Recently, a batch of disciples who had become Immortals was sent over. The disciples who were trained outside could only come to Shushan after becoming Immortals. Before that, they did not have a Natal Immortal Sword. After becoming Immortals, they would come to the main peak to take their own Fairy Sword. Therefore, every time the disciples were sent over, there would be many people in the Sword Sea and they would often line up.
"Long Mei, these are your two Junior Brothers?"
The person in charge of the Sword Sea was a Jin Xian. Moreover, he was at the late stage of Jin Xian. His strength was not weak.
There were often disputes over queuing at the Sword Sea. Therefore, there were three Jin Xian overseeing it. Whoever dared to cause trouble in the Sword Sea would definitely be severely punished. Today, this Jin Xian was on duty. He knew Long Mei and the two of them had a good relationship.
"That's right. This is my Junior Brother Gu Zheng and Sun Yunsheng!"
Long Mei smiled and introduced Gu Zheng and Sun Yunsheng to Jin Xian. The two of them also cupped their fists and bowed. They were both Jin Xian. Everyone addressed each other as equals, unless it was their own master.
"That's right. This time, your Myriad Valley Peak will be in the limelight again. When the time comes, don't forget to treat us!"
That Jin Xian smiled and nodded. Long Mei laughed and directly agreed. "Of course. When Senior Brother Zhang Feng returns, we will definitely treat everyone to a grand banquet!"
Every side peak of Shushan was very happy to have one more Jin Xian, not to mention two Jin Xian. These two Jin Xian were outsiders and were not cultivated by them. Such a good thing should be a few banquets and a few banquets for friends around them.
"Follow me!"
After receiving Long Mei's promise, that Jin Xian smiled and said. The three of them followed him and walked inside. Not long after, they walked to the edge of a cliff. This cliff was very big. There were many disciples lining up behind it. At this time, a disciple was standing at the edge of the cliff with his eyes closed.
After the four of them arrived, no one spoke. They just stood there quietly and looked at the disciple in front of them.
Not long after, a white fog emerged from the bottom of the cliff. A shining green flying sword flew from the cliff and finally fell into the hands of the disciple with his eyes closed.
"Green Light Sword, not bad!"
Long Mei smiled and taught. The grades of Shushan Immortal Swords could be distinguished from the light. The best ones were red and purple, which were not on par with each other. Any color would do. The second grade was blue and pink, which were also very good. After that, it was green and yellow, which belonged to the third grade. After that, there were the fourth grade, the fifth grade, and the sixth grade.
This disciple got a green Immortal Sword, which belonged to the third grade. It was slightly above average, which was already very good.
After that disciple got the Immortal Sword, he walked down happily. A person in the line behind him came forward, stood at the edge of the cliff, and slowly closed his eyes.
"In a while, you just stand there and close your eyes. Don't think about anything in your mind. Release a blank space. The Immortal Sword will self-heat and you will sense it. When you sense a group of colors, you will be selected by the Immortal Sword. Soon, the Immortal Sword will automatically come out!"
Long Mei explained to Gu Zheng and Sora Aoi in a low voice. The other disciples already knew this step before they cultivated to become immortals. Everyone was eager to choose a superior Immortal Sword after they became immortals.
The two of them came from the Lower Realm and didn't know, so Long Mei explained a little more.
That disciple also got the Immortal Sword very quickly, but it was a black light. The black light was the lowest grade, which meant that this disciple's talent was very ordinary. That disciple's expression was gloomy, and he took his Immortal Sword and left.
"Wait a minute!"
The next disciple was about to go up, but the Jin Xian who received Gu Zheng and the others suddenly waved his hand. Immediately, a disciple next to him stopped the people behind.
"Junior Brother Gu, Junior Brother Ouyang, who will go up first?"
Stopping the people behind meant cutting the line. Jin Xian didn't need to wait to get the Immortal Sword. He directly cut the line. When the people waiting at the side heard him call them that, they also understood that Jin Xian was coming to get the Immortal Sword. They all looked at them curiously.
The people in the line didn't panic. They knew very well that Jin Xian was qualified to cut the line. They couldn't cut the line, because they didn't become Jin Xian. But then again, they couldn't wait for Jin Xian to choose.
"Elder Ouyang, you go first!"
Gu Zheng let Sora Aoi go first. He wanted to take a look. Sora Aoi nodded and didn't object. He directly walked up the cliff platform. No one else could enter here. Gu Zheng and Long Eyebrows stood outside.
Sora Aoi followed Long Eyebrows' instructions and closed his eyes. After a while, a blue light flew up from below. Blue was the second grade, which belonged to the top grade Immortal Sword.
The Immortal Swords that Jin Xian obtained here were generally not bad. Blue was also normal. Long Eyebrows secretly nodded.
Sora Aoi walked down with the Immortal Sword in his hand. There was still some curiosity on his face. Gu Zheng walked up. Many people looked at Gu Zheng. They all wanted to know what kind of Immortal Sword this young Jin Xian senior would get.
Generally speaking, the better the talent, the better the quality of the Immortal Sword. Although Sora Aoi was Jin Xian, he was after all old and looked like an old man. It was already very good to get a blue Immortal Sword. Gu Zheng looked very young. It was very likely that he would get a purple or orange Immortal Sword.
Gu Zheng stood on the edge of the cliff and slowly closed his eyes.
According to Long Eyebrows, he threw away all the distracting thoughts in his mind and quickly entered a meditative state. After a while, he saw clusters of colors. There were purple, orange, blue, red, and all kinds of other colors. There were many, many, many colors.
This made Gu Zheng feel a little strange. Generally speaking, only one cluster of colors would appear, but he saw many clusters. What was this situation? Senior Brother Long Eyebrows didn't tell him.
After a while, the white fog on the edge of the cliff began to roll more violently than before.
Many people raised their heads and looked forward. They all wanted to know what kind of Immortal Sword this Jin Xian senior would get. Would it be the highest grade purple or red?
A light finally appeared and quickly flew out of the cliff.
"Black?"
"It's actually black?"
"This is impossible. How can such a senior only get a black Immortal Sword?"
After seeing that it was a black light that flew out, the disciples in line exploded. Even Long Eyebrows was dumbfounded and looked in front of him in disbelief.
Black Immortal Swords were generally obtained by disciples with particularly poor talent. Such disciples were destined to be unable to break through to Jin Xian. It was even difficult for them to break through their own realms. They might be stuck in the Qi Transformation Realm for the rest of their lives. The better ones could only reach the Soul Formation Realm. Without the help of outsiders, it was basically impossible for them to reach the Void Return Realm.
If they had the help of elders who spared no effort, they could also reach the Void Return Realm. However, this was already the end. There was no way to go further with their talent.
Why would such an Immortal Sword choose a disciple who had already become Jin Xian's disciple?
Not to mention Long Eyebrows, even the guard, Jin Xian, didn't understand. He frowned and no one knew what he was thinking.
"The Immortal Sword didn't fall into his hands. What's going on?"
Soon, someone noticed that something was wrong. After the Immortal Sword flew out, it just floated in front of Gu Zheng, unlike other Immortal Swords that directly flew into his hands and could be recognized on the spot.
"Bang, bang, bang, bang!"
Suddenly, there was a series of loud bangs at the bottom of the cliff. Balls of light flew out from the bottom of the cliff. There were all kinds of colors, many of which were purple and red. Countless balls of light flew out and floated in mid-air, all floating in front of Gu Zheng.
There were a lot of Immortal Swords. At a rough glance, there were at least 10,000 of them.
"10,000 Swords Choose Master!"
The guard, Jin Xian, was completely stunned. He was still thinking about the reason, but after thinking for a long time, he didn't expect this result. It wasn't just one Immortal Sword with black light that chose Gu Zheng. Instead, there were many Immortal Swords that chose Gu Zheng. The Immortal Sword with black light probably had the geographical advantage and was the first to fly up.
10,000 Swords Choose Master meant that 10,000 Immortal Swords had come out together for Gu Zheng to choose. This meant that 10,000 Immortal Swords had put down their pride and were willing to compete with their companions for Gu Zheng to choose them.
If many Immortal Swords flew out, it meant that the Immortal had chosen the Immortal Swords, and not the other way around.
It wasn't that such a situation hadn't happened before, but it was rare. It was rare for hundreds of Immortal Swords to appear together, and even rarer for thousands. As for 10,000 Immortal Swords, it had only happened three times since the establishment of Shushan.
This was Gu Zheng's fourth time.
As for 100,000 Immortal Swords coming out together, such a thing hadn't happened yet, and it was impossible. The sea of swords didn't allow too many Immortal Swords to come out at once. As long as there were more than 10,000 Immortal Swords, it meant that countless Immortal Swords had competed, and only 10,000 Immortal Swords had come out in the end.
10,000 Swords Choose Master. This was the fourth time it had happened in Shushan. The guard, Jin Xian, felt his heart beating faster. He had been guarding the sea of swords for many years, and this was the first time he had seen 10,000 Swords Choose Master. He had only heard of it before.
The three seniors who had shown 10,000 Swords Choose Master were all great seniors in the sect. All of them had reached the realm of Daluo Jinxian, and the highest among them had reached the realm of Sage-to-be. He was the Grand Elder of the sect, and the spiritual pillar of the sect.
This meant that Gu Zheng had the potential to reach the realm of Sage-to-be. Only with such potential could the Immortal Swords disregard their pride and fly out for Gu Zheng to choose.
The disciples in the queue were discussing even more fiercely. The 10,000 Immortal Swords coming out and floating densely on the edge of the cliff was a spectacular sight. Many people had never even thought about it, let alone seen it.
"Changmei, I have to report to the Sect Leader. You guys wait here!"
Jin Xian said quickly and left. The 10,000 Swords Choose Master was definitely a big deal for Shushan. He had to inform the Sect Leader as soon as possible.
