Chapter 168: Chapter 146 Barbaric Wilderness Mountain and Sea Map
Previously, when Ye Chen arrived at Sky Extreme Cliff from the Outer Sect aboard the Flying Boat, he was already astonished by the scenery of the inner mountains of the Taixuan Sect.
Now, within the Escaping Light of Fairy Jia Luo, stepping into the true hidden Inner Peaks of the Taixuan Sect, accessible only to direct disciples and elders like the Peak Masters, Ye Chen was even more amazed by the grandeur of these Inner Peaks!
These were majestic and massive mountain peaks, standing tall one after another between heaven and earth.
The sea of clouds in the sky floated around the midsection of the mountains, making them appear as if they were mountains of the immortals.
Countless immortal cranes flew between the mountain peaks and the clouds, sometimes alighting on the peaks, at other times diving into the clouds, with their calls echoing in all directions.
Looking at these mountains, one could see the waterfalls cascading down a thousand feet, the majestic palaces and pavilions standing tall, and the secluded Cultivation Cave Abodes, surrounded by giant ancient trees with roots coiled like serpents and branches that thickly covered the skies, with exotic flowers and unusual herbs everywhere, their fragrance overflowing and the true qi of heaven and earth rich and unparalleled.
From time to time, one could encounter direct disciples of the Inner Peak in the True Qi Realm riding huge flying magical beasts in and out of the mountains, or powerful individuals in the Spirit Sea Realm or various Peak Elders clad in Taixuan Sect vestment robes flying through the sky.
Looking closely at the mountain peaks, you could see floating bridges connecting them, with warriors meditating and voices discussing the arts of martial practice emanating from various places.
This is the place where the Taixuan Sect's direct disciples live!
This is the Taixuan Sect's Inner Peak!
The Inner Peaks of the Taixuan Sect are divided into eight major cultivation mountain peaks and three elder mountain peaks.
The Snowdrift Peak governed by Fairy Jia Luo is one of these eleven Inner Peaks and is located at the very depths. Stay updated with NovelFire _emp _yr.
Snowdrift Peak, shaped like a proudly towering giant sword piercing into the heavens, is not only positioned at the deepest point but is also the tallest among the eleven Inner Peaks. After Fairy Jia Luo's Escaping Light descended, Ye Chen and the others already arrived at the midsection of Snowdrift Peak.
Ye Chen stood in the middle of the mountain, looking up towards the peak, unable to see the top of Snowdrift Peak with a single glance, and looking around, he could faintly see courtyards scattered about the waist of the mountain.
These courtyards were the residences of the direct disciples of Snowdrift Peak, while Fairy Jia Luo lived at the very top in the "Snowdrift Residence."
Behind Ye Chen, the large fire bird also descended, as did the other girls who had just joined Snowdrift Peak, such as Yu Luoxuan, all curiously looking around them.
Jiang Yao, at that moment, landed beside Ye Chen. Seeing him taking in Snowdrift Peak, she smiled lightly and said, "Ye Chen, from now on you will be cultivating at Snowdrift Peak!"
"Inside Snowdrift Peak, apart from master, there are many senior and junior sisters too. They are all very nice, and later I'll introduce you to them."
"When the senior and junior sisters find out how amazing you are and that you've joined us at Snowdrift Peak, they will definitely be very happy too!"
Returning to Snowdrift Peak, Jiang Yao became even more joyous. This was where she had lived for many years, and now that Ye Chen had also come here, she was naturally delighted.
Looking at the girl in front of him, wearing a light blue gown, lively and beautiful, and seeing that unstoppable joy deep within her eyes, Ye Chen felt warmth in his heart.
Being able to cultivate alongside Jiang Yao, the weariness from the relentless assessments and selections that came before had already been swept away.
Just as Ye Chen and the others had landed in the middle of Snowdrift Peak, numerous figures flew towards them from various parts of the mountain's waist.
These figures descended and were all bright and beautiful girls, who turned out to be direct disciples who had joined Snowdrift Peak before.
After these girls descended, they curiously looked over the newly entered disciples, and when they saw a youth like Ye Chen among the newcomers, they were particularly stunned.
"Huh, our Snowdrift Peak has never accepted male disciples before. How come there is one this time?"
After looking over Ye Chen, the girls' gazes turned towards Fairy Jia Luo and Jiang Yao.
"Peak Master!"
"Sister Jiang Yao!"
"Junior Sister Jiang Yao!"
The girls all surged towards Fairy Jia Luo and Jiang Yao.
Ye Chen had heard Jiang Yao say that there were quite a few direct disciples cultivating at Snowdrift Peak, but there were not many who were eventually taken as disciples by Fairy Jia Luo.
From these girls' address to Fairy Jia Luo, it seemed they were still just cultivating direct disciples.
Fairy Jia Luo looked at the girls who came over, a slight smile on her lips, "You all arrived just in time. Later, take the new disciples to their place of residence and help them settle in."
Upon saying this, Fairy Jia Luo also turned to look at Ye Chen and the batch of new direct disciples, speaking aloud, "The Taixuan Sect is the number one great sect in the Eastern Domain of the Heavenly Wind Kingdom. Being able to pass the selection and become Inner Peak disciples demonstrates your remarkable talents!"
"However, you must not become complacent. After entering Snowdrift Peak, you must cultivate diligently and continually enhance your strength!"
"You should know, although our Taixuan Sect is a sixth-grade sect and ranks first in the Eastern Domain of the Heavenly Wind Kingdom, there are as many as nine other sixth-grade sects within the entire kingdom. Above the sixth-grade sects, in the Northern Domain of the Heavenly Wind Kingdom, there are even three more powerful fifth-grade sects!"
"Becoming a direct disciple means you will be competing with powerhouses from other great sects. Your current strength is still far from enough!"
As Fairy Jia Luo instructed, Ye Chen and the others listened attentively.
Fairy Jia Luo continued, "Ascending to the Spirit Sea Realm is your most important task for the time being. Only by stepping into the Spirit Sea Realm will you begin to stand out among the various sects in the Heavenly Wind Kingdom, and only upon entering the Rotating Pill Realm could you be considered a significant power within the kingdom!"
"Regarding some of the Sect rules about Inner Peak direct disciples, as well as other explanations, there are books on these topics in the various dwellings. Once you have chosen a residence, take a good look at these books,"
"There aren't many rules for cultivating at Snowdrift Peak. You only need to remember that within Taixuan Sect's Inner Peak, we conduct competitions among the disciples of the Inner Peaks and the direct disciples of the eight great peaks. If you perform too poorly, I will expel you from Snowdrift Peak."
"Alright, follow your senior sisters to find a courtyard residence. Your senior sisters will also tell you some things about being a direct disciple."
"Ye Chen, Yao'er, you two stay behind for a moment."
After Fairy Jia Luo said this, she made a slight gesture, and the senior disciples, who had flown down from halfway up the mountain, led people like Yu Luoxuan away to seek their dwellings.
As they left, the senior disciples couldn't help but glance at Ye Chen.
"The first place in the direct disciple selection conference this time is said to be named Ye Chen!"
"Is this young man Ye Chen?!"
"Ye Chen has come to our Snowdrift Peak?"
Once they were further away, the junior girls could no longer hold back their surprise and began questioning the newly joined girls of Snowdrift Peak about Ye Chen, while Yu Luoxuan and the others also spoke of Ye Chen's deeds to the senior disciples.
"Ah!"
"He's that impressive!"
The gasps of astonishment from the girls came one after another when they heard about Ye Chen's marvelous performances at the direct disciple selection conference.
"Senior Jia Luo."
"Master."
At this moment, Ye Chen and Jiang Yao walked up to Fairy Jia Luo.
Fairy Jia Luo smiled at Ye Chen, "Joining Snowdrift Peak, you no longer need to call me senior. Since you are not my direct disciple, just call me Peak Master."
"Yes, Peak Master," Ye Chen replied.
"Ye Chen, your strength has indeed surprised me. With your current abilities, not to mention within Taixuan Sect, but even compared to the geniuses of the major sects in the Heavenly Wind Kingdom, and even those from the five-rank great sects, you won't fall short!"
"Your vision should be like Yao'er's, not only on the Heavenly Wind Kingdom, but also on the entire Thirteen Southern Nations of the Barbaric Wilderness, and even the entire Barbaric Wilderness Continent. Competing with the geniuses of the whole continent is the direction you should be aiming for!"
As she spoke, Fairy Jia Luo looked at Jiang Yao and smiled, "When Yao'er stepped into the Spirit Sea Realm, I gave her some notes and insights from my travels in the Barbaric Wilderness. Now, I will bestow upon you the same treasure, and this treasure is called — 'Barbaric Wilderness Mountain and Sea Map'!"
Barbaric Wilderness Mountain and Sea Map?
Ye Chen looked towards Fairy Jia Luo.
At that moment, Fairy Jia Luo's fair palm stretched out gently, and a jade book appeared in her hand.
On the front of this jade book were the words "Barbaric Wilderness Mountain and Sea Map."
These five simple words carried an indescribable aura, as if encompassing the entirety of the Barbaric Wilderness Continent.
Not just Ye Chen, even Jiang Yao couldn't help but look towards the jade book.
Fairy Jia Luo lightly touched the jade book with her finger, causing it to slowly open with a list of glowing characters emerging on it.
"Thirteen Southern Nations of the Barbaric Wilderness!"
"Ten Great Demonic Sects of the Western Wilderness!"
"Ice Palace Snow Plains of the Northern Wilderness!"
"Star Extreme Scatter Islands of the Eastern Wilderness!"
"The Three Great Dynasties of the Central Wilderness!"
"Sea of Chaos!"
"Hidden Ancient Lands!"
"Void Cracks!"
"Minor Spirit God Mountain!"
The mere sight of these directory entries made Ye Chen tremble with awe.
Clearly, this "Barbaric Wilderness Mountain and Sea Map" contained information about various aspects of the Barbaric Wilderness Continent that he was completely unaware of!
