"Alright, I'll report this to the sect master …"
As Cang Wu spoke, a white divine beam flew down from the main peak. Yi Yun focused his eyes and saw that it was a man with a seductive look.
The man had slender eyes and he looked as beautiful as a woman. He floated high in the air and looked at Yi Yun. "Sect Master is in seclusion. He just sent me a voice transmission to bring you to a temporary place to settle you down. If there's anything you don't understand in cultivation, you can ask me!"
Sect Master Master?
For the man to address the sect master as master, it was obvious that he was a personal disciple of the Myriad God Ridge's sect master.
Typical personal disciples would address the Myriad God Ridge's sect master as Grandmaster. For this person to address him as master, it was enough to prove his status. It was probably not inferior to Mo Shanqing's.
"Come with me."
After the man said that, he led Yi Yun to a quiet residence. In front of Yi Yun was an elegant-looking three-story building. Behind the building was a simple herbal garden, and on the other end was a cultivation chamber.
In the Myriad God Ridge, many buildings were constructed from jade. However, the building that Yi Yun was given was made of wood.
Although it was made of wood, Yi Yun knew very well that the building's construction materials were incomparable to jade used by mortals.
He was well-versed in the divine alchemist's notes, so he instantly recognized that the building was made of precious Sunken Moon Wood. This type of wood grew in spirit springs and relied on absorbing the essence of the moon to grow. It took a thousand years to grow a foot. Furthermore, it was difficult to artificially plant it.
A building made of Sunken Moon Wood could nourish the soul. It was very beneficial to cultivators!
"How extravagant."
Yi Yun sighed. This was only a building for personal disciples. If it were for the sect master or Elders, it would probably be even more precious.
"Stay here for the next few days. Master might come out of seclusion in another seven to eight days. He will naturally meet you then."
"You can use everything in this building as long as there are no restrictions protecting it. As for those with restrictions, you won't be able to open them. You may enter."
The seductive man gave a simple introduction before leaving behind a few personal disciple robes, a token, and a jade slip that introduced the rules of the Myriad God Ridge before leaving.
The personal disciple robes of the Myriad God Ridge were all purple in color. The words' Myriad God 'were embroidered on the chest. The disciple robes themselves were excellent enchanted artifacts.
Yi Yun flipped open the door rule jade scroll. With the strength of Yi Yun's perception, he finished reading it in a few seconds.
There were many rules in the Myriad God Ridge, but most of them were targeted at ordinary disciples. At the level of personal disciples, any rules were meaningless. Strength was what mattered. As long as one had strength, it was not a big deal to violate some of the sect's rules. And corresponding to being a personal disciple, there were all sorts of privileges that ordinary disciples did not have.
As for the final personal disciple token, as long as it was produced in the Myriad God Ridge's territory, one could command the monarch. If one disobeyed, it would be considered an affront to the Myriad God Ridge. The monarch could even be killed and a new monarch could be appointed.
Upon seeing this, Yi Yun felt wistful. He also understood why so many people wanted to enter the Myriad God Ridge. This was the shock and awe brought by strength. Ordinary dynasties without the support of large sects were no different from mortals in front of the Myriad God Ridge. They were powerless to resist.
Yi Yun had joined the Myriad God Ridge because he was looking for Old Snake, but after seeing the situation in the Myriad God Ridge, he felt that it was not a bad idea to stay here for a period of time. After all, he had just arrived in the Sinkhole and had nowhere to go. He needed an environment that was suitable for cultivation.
Yi Yun put away the token and jade slip and changed into the purple disciple robes. He then came to the cultivation ground that was connected to the building.
In this small building, Yi Yun could feel the subtle nourishment of the Sunken Moon Wood to his soul no matter where he went. It made his mind exceptionally calm, and all the acupuncture points in his body were constantly taking in the surrounding Yuan Qi. Cultivating in such a place was twice the result with half the effort.
Yi Yun used his personal disciple token to open the cultivation chamber's door. The room's layout was extremely simple. There was only a long bookshelf and a cultivation array formation. There were more than a hundred Spirit Jade embedded around the array formation.
Yi Yun focused his eyes and found that the Spirit Jade looked a lot better than the Spirit Jade Snake Girl had taken out previously. He had no idea what grade they were.
As for the bookshelf, it was filled with jade slips.
Yi Yun took out a few to take a look. Not only did the jade slips contain cultivation techniques, they also contained introductions to the various major factions in the Sinkhole, natural treasures, and local customs. It was all-encompassing and had everything!
As Yi Yun read on, he unknowingly became engrossed in it.
At that moment …
Dong! Dong!
There was a knock on the door.
Yi Yun got up and opened the door. He saw a slender girl about fifteen or sixteen years old standing by the door. Her round face was flushed red like a lotus that was about to bloom.
"You are?" asked Yi Yun curiously.
The girl blushed as she mumbled, "My name is Zuoyan Xiaoyu. I passed the test a few days ago and entered the Myriad God Ridge. I'm now an outer-sect disciple …"
"Outer-Sect disciple?" Yi Yun was taken aback. He knew that the Myriad God Ridge's entrance test had three stages.
Apart from the first stage, which involved stirring the cauldron, there were people who failed to stir the cauldron but passed the second and third stages of nomological and cultivation tests to enter the Myriad God Ridge. However, such people were typically outer-sect disciples. It was just too difficult to become an inner-sect disciple or core disciple.
However, Yi Yun was puzzled. His tiny building was a residential area for personal disciples. How did outer-sect disciples enter?
"Why are you here?" asked Yi Yun.
"Uh …" Zuoyan Xiaoyu's voice turned a lot softer as she said in embarrassment, "All outer-sect disciples have to do miscellaneous chores after entering the Myriad God Ridge. I was assigned to be a maidservant in Sunken Moon Tower. As for Sunken Moon Tower, it's the building you live in."
"Oh?" Yi Yun was truly taken aback. He turned his head to take a glance and saw a plaque hanging above the building he lived in. On it were the words' Sunken Moon Tower. '
From the looks of it, every building in the core region of the Myriad God Ridge was constructed with different materials. Hence, they were named after the materials they were constructed with.
Sunken Moon Tower was not a bad name. However, this maidservant …
Yi Yun rubbed his nose in embarrassment. Perhaps the people of the Myriad God Ridge were used to having people serving them due to their prolonged high status, so they did not think much of it. However, Yi Yun had never been served by anyone before, especially by such a delicate young lady. He found it a little awkward.
"About that … you entered the Myriad God Ridge to be disciples, but you ended up serving others as maidservants. Don't you feel aggrieved?" Yi Yun could not help but ask.
"Aggrieved?" Zuoyan Xiaoyu shook her head. "How can that be? A personal disciple like Young Master has a much higher status than an outer-sect disciple like me. Besides … being a maidservant in a personal disciple's residence is a job that others would fight over."
"This is much better than taking care of spirit beasts, patrolling the mountain gates, supervising the mining of the mines, and so on. Take the Sunken Moon Tower, for example. Just the cultivation speed here is much faster. It's all thanks to you that I'm able to come here. If there's no one staying in Sunken Moon Tower, I wouldn't be able to come in as I please. "
As Zuoyan Xiaoyu spoke, Yi Yun noticed that the girl was looking at him with a look of adoration.
This made him feel that he had belittled his status as a personal disciple. When he first came to the Calm Sea, he had not come into contact with the local customs before becoming a personal disciple of the Myriad God Ridge. As he had obtained it too easily, Yi Yun had yet to fully realize the nobility of his status.
Although there were many experts in the Sinkhole, there were even more mortals. The worship of strength here even exceeded that of the 12 Empyrean Heavens.
Under such circumstances, no one would think that serving a personal disciple was beneath them. Instead, it was an honor. Furthermore, they could enjoy some of the benefits of being a personal disciple. It was naturally something they wished for.
"Then how did you get this job?" Yi Yun asked out of curiosity. He noticed that other than the disciple robes Zuoyan Xiaoyu wore, the rest of her items were not worth much. Clearly, she came from an ordinary background.
"Xiaoyu obtained this opportunity because her results at the entrance test were slightly better. Back then, the people who entered the sect with her were extremely jealous. It's said that the Duanmu family's daughter of heaven, Duanmu Qingwen, failed to obtain this job despite using some of her family's resources."
"The Duanmu family?" Yi Yun asked casually.
"Oh … It's a large family clan in the country Xiaoyu comes from. As their family head has a seventh-storey Dao Palace cultivation level, his status is even higher than the emperor's."
"I see …" Yi Yun nodded. To the Myriad God Ridge, a family clan with a family head with a sixth-storey Dao Palace cultivation level naturally had too little power.
However, even such a family clan enjoyed a transcendent status in the country they came from. They enjoyed endless riches and glory, and the young mistresses of the family clan were definitely pampered. It would probably not be comfortable to be served by such a young mistress. It was still better to serve a girl from an ordinary background like Zuoyan Xiaoyu.
Upon thinking of this, Yi Yun felt wistful. The path of martial arts was extremely difficult. If one wanted riches and glory, it was easily obtainable. However, to become a peerless Godly Monarch, to live for tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of years, to the point of living as long as the Heavens and Earth, was just too difficult.
"By the way, Miss Zuoyan, why did you call me here?"
Upon being asked, Zuoyan Xiaoyu hurriedly said, "Young Master, please don't address me in such a manner. I can't accept it. Young Master, just call me Xiaoyu. I'm calling you to have a meal."
"A meal?" Yi Yun was taken aback. Why was there a need to call her for a meal? Furthermore, warriors could abstain from eating at very low realms. Typically, they would not eat unless they wanted to satisfy their appetites. All they needed to do was breathe in and out the Heaven and Earth spiritual energies.
Zuoyan Xiaoyu said, "That's right. The meals of Myriad God Ridge's personal disciples are different. Such meals are only available once a month. Young Master, it just so happens that you are here."
