Chapter 2211 - 2210: The Sect of Mount Shu
Northern Dipper Domain, the central area of the Cultivation World within this Star Domain, is also the domain most abundant in Spiritual Energy and resources.
Above the seven stars, various powers are intertwined.
Similar to the Nine Regions of the Frontier Desolation where Long Fei resides, each Star Domain has different cultivation forces.
The largest human force belongs to Tianshu Star, the head of the Northern Dipper.
In the past, the Twelve Golden Immortals of the Exposition Sect left their legacies throughout this Star Domain.
After the Divine Enthronement War, the Exposition Sect and Buddhist Sect flourished, while the Sect of Severance vanished and its inheritance became hard to find in the Seven Domains.
When Long Fei and his party arrived in this world, various sects in the Seven Domains sent their disciples down the mountain for training.
There were rumors in the Cultivation World about an important Magical Treasure appearing in the world.
The major sects did not know the exact nature of this Magical Treasure but knew it was a bell-shaped artifact.
The purpose of these disciples going down the mountain was to seize this artifact.
Some even claimed that with a great calamity approaching, only those who obtained this bell-shaped artifact could laugh last.
Rumors spread quickly.
Rumors spread like wildfire, and anyone who discovered a bell-shaped artifact could cause a stir, whether they were disciples of major sects or loose cultivators.
Ironically, this situation unintentionally made the Artifact Refining Division extremely popular.
Cultivators rushed to modify their bell-shaped artifacts into other forms to avoid being besieged as soon as they used them.
Long Fei and Wang Xiaoya sat in a restaurant, listening to the cultivators discussing, furrowing their brows at the talks.
They had been searching for Chu Feng and the others’ whereabouts since arriving in this world three days ago.
A massive spatial storm occurred in the teleportation passage.
The group was separated, Long Fei managed to protect only Wang Xiaoya, and even Kong Qing was swept away by the spatial storm.
This world is filled with Spiritual Energy, and plants can easily become spirits.
The land is vast, seemingly endless.
Long Fei and Wang Xiaoya landed in a mountain forest, taking Little Liuzi three days of flying to find a city.
The cities here still maintain a strong historical inertia; with abundant Spiritual Energy and strong cultivation civilization, technology hasn’t progressed naturally.
Each city has the ancient Huaxia wall structures, built tall, interconnected via teleportation passages.
In this world, human force is strong.
The Demon Clan has mostly been driven into the mountains, though occasional incidents of demon hordes massacring cities still occur.
The small city Long Fei and Wang Xiaoya were in, Jiangyang City, is under the jurisdiction of Shu State.
It was only after inquiries that they learned this world also has a great worldly dynasty power.
This dynasty is none other than the Li Tang!
Shu State is a provincial city under Li Tang, with a vast territory and a population of over a hundred billion.
This population surpasses that of Long Fei’s entire home planet.
In Shu State, the strongest cultivation force is the Mount Shu Sect.
This is not the Mount Shu Sect of Great Xia Country but rather the orthodox heritage of Mount Shu.
The patriarch is the Long Eyebrow Immortal, rumored to still be alive but in seclusion, with his disciple Qi Shuming managing the sect affairs.
In these three days, Long Fei and Wang Xiaoya gathered a lot of information about the Mount Shu Sect.
Comparatively, Mount Shu Sect is a rising star compared to the orthodox sects left by the Twelve Golden Immortals of the Exposition Sect.
The Sword Immortal path is fierce and fast in cultivation, gaining much favor among the younger generation.
In recent years, Mount Shu Sect has developed rapidly, almost controlling both the worldly and cultivation realms of Shu State, becoming the top force in Shu State’s cultivation world.
Long Fei and Wang Xiaoya happened upon a time when the Demon Clan’s forces rampaged through Shu State, reportedly looting over a dozen cities, with nearly a million people slaughtered by the demons.
Due to Shu State’s numerous towering mountains, the Demon Clan’s forces are particularly strong, more severe than in other places.
Jiangyang City’s City Lord has been unable to sleep for days, urgently recruiting loose cultivators while seeking aid from the Mount Shu Sect and Shu State Governor, asking for assistance for Jiangyang City.
These days, the streets and alleys of Jiangyang City are crowded, packed with cultivators drawn by the City’s Lord’s high bounties.
This place has another name: Wine City.
Winemaking workshops are everywhere, and the air is filled with the fragrance of wine.
The reward from the City Lord includes wines aged over ten thousand years.
Long Fei and Wang Xiaoya drank an old wine brewed from sorghum, precisely this kind of fragrant aged wine.
The wine is sweet and mellow, a jug of the ten-thousand-year-old wine costs a hundred thousand Spirit Stones.
For the average cultivator, this is already a substantial amount.
Wang Xiaoya sipped her wine and said to Long Fei, "When we set out, Shen Feng and his sister accompanied us. If they came here and knew the Mount Shu Sect has a legacy here, they’d definitely be pleased."
Long Fei smiled, "The Mount Shu here is where the Esoteric Sect Sect Master resides in our Star Domain. Even if they attempted to ascend the mountain, they might not be valued and would likely be frustrated. If I were Shen Feng, I wouldn’t seek opportunities here."
Wang Xiaoya smirked, "Of course, you wouldn’t seek them out, you’ve already offended the Mount Shu Sect badly. If Shen Feng reported your deeds to Mount Shu, they’d undoubtedly want to kill you immediately."
Long Fei’s expression was calm, but his eyes were filled with fighting spirit, "There are rumors in the Cultivation World that among the disciples of Mount Shu, there are the Twelve Eldest Disciples of the second generation, Three Yings, Two Yuns, and the Seven Dwarfs in the third generation, all quite famous. I wonder if they live up to the legend when seen."
"I don’t wish to see them, it would definitely lead to fighting and killing upon meeting!"
Wang Xiaoya grumbled slightly, "I suggest we use the teleportation passage to quickly head to Shu State, and then directly go to this Great Tang Dynasty’s Capital City to check things out. Based on what I know about Chu Feng and the others, they’d certainly head to the Capital City, so we can definitely find them there."
"Fine, you’re practically a fortune teller now."
Long Fei laughed, pinching her nose, finished their food and drinks, and went to the teleportation center.
The Teleportation Altar was set up inside an inner city surrounded on all sides, heavily guarded by soldiers on the city walls.
Previously, the four gates of this inner city were always open.
Just like a worldly station, you only needed to pay at the entrance to pass through the teleportation passage.
Today, as the two approached the gate, they were stopped by soldiers.
It turned out that a notice was posted at the main gate, stating that since Jiangyang City was preparing for war, the teleportation passage was only open for exits, not entrances, these days.
Outsiders could come here, but locals wanting to leave had to report to the City Lord and obtain his permission.
Long Fei shrugged, smiling at Wang Xiaoya, "Well, it seems we’re stuck."
Wang Xiaoya felt a headache, thinking to herself this guy probably doesn’t want to leave.
If he wanted to leave, how could a few people stop him?
As she and Long Fei were about to turn and leave, a group of people emerged from inside, causing even the soldiers guarding the entrance to salute them, treating these individuals with great respect and courtesy.
Lots of people gathered at the gate to watch the commotion.
These people were all dressed in Mount Shu Sect attire, wearing cyan robes with golden borders at the collar.
The belt of the long robe was also embroidered with a golden sword pattern.
Such flamboyant Taoist robes perfectly matched the temperament of Mount Shu.
The leading youth walked with swagger, bearing handsome features and an air of heroism, causing the surrounding female cultivators to scream as he appeared.
Someone exclaimed, "Isn’t this gentleman the Mount Shu Sect Leader’s son, Senior Brother Jin Chan?"
"Indeed, he is Qi Jinchan."
"My god, I’ve always heard of his renown; seeing him today, he truly is extraordinary!"
"Brother Qi, I want to marry you!"
A female cultivator dramatically emerged, holding flowers in both hands, kneeling directly in front of Qi Jinchan.
Qi Jinchan merely nodded politely, exchanged a few pleasantries with the City Lord who came to greet them, and together they boarded the carriage to leave for the City Lord’s Mansion.
