I have a little bit of talent

"After spending so much time in seclusion and practicing, I finally achieved some success,"

As Fang Mu's retreat came to an end, his consciousness withdrew from the sea of ​​​​consciousness and returned to his body. Fang Mu, who had been sitting quietly in the cave, slowly opened his eyes, and a green light flashed across his eyes.

"It's been almost two months. It's true that one never counts years when practicing."

Seeing that the floor of the cave and the table were covered with a thick layer of dust, Fang Mu couldn't help but sigh, then exhaled.

call!call!call!

With his current physique, if he was not restrained, even a normal breath would be like a passing gust of wind, which could easily blow away an ordinary person. At this moment, he opened his mouth and exhaled, and suddenly a wave of air gushed out, and under his control, it swirled around the entire cave, sucking all the dust into it, and then brought it out of the cave, floating on the mountains of Qingxu Peak.

"It's much better now."

Looking at the cave that had become tidy and clean again, Fang Mu nodded with satisfaction. Then he sat casually on the chair, took out a bottle of peach blossom wine from the mustard seed space, and drank it leisurely.

I haven't drunk for such a long time that I feel a little craving for alcohol.

The world of Great Zhou is vast and boundless. The area controlled by the Great Zhou court alone is tens of billions of miles long and is divided into thirteen states. Among these thirteen states, Yangzhou is in the middle, the center of the earth, connecting the twelve states in the southeast, northwest, northeast and southwest.

Yizhou is located to the west of Yangzhou, connected to Yizhou in the east and Chanzhou in the west. It is the place where many mountain ranges and water veins of the Great Zhou converge. Not only does the Tianshui River, the world's first river, pass through it, but it also has undulating mountains and rivers and countless towering peaks.

Precisely because of this, long before the establishment of the Great Zhou Dynasty, when the Taoist Ancestor had not yet taught his teachings, there were many demons in the Yizhou area that wreaked havoc on the people, holding humans captive for food, and the common people suffered terribly.

After the Taoist Ancestor appeared in the world, he spread his teachings throughout the world. The first time he appeared in the world was in Yizhou, where he wiped out countless demons and monsters. After he left this world, the Taoist Ancestor's disciples established Taoist sects and absorbed human disciples to practice and learn the Dharma. This is how he protected the stability and prosperity of the human race.

It was not until the Great Zhou Taizu emerged, unified the world, and together with the various sects in Yizhou defeated countless evil demons and heretics that Yizhou was completely recovered and the people were able to live and work in peace and survive.

Among them, the Great Zhou court was certainly the main force, and Taizu made the greatest contributions, but it was also indispensable that many disciples of the Yizhou sects fought one after another and dyed the mountains, rivers and lakes red with blood. In addition, countless sects were completely destroyed and disappeared in this earth-shaking and protracted war, and their heritage no longer existed.

After completely pacifying all the evil spirits in Yizhou, Taizu, impressed by the contributions made by many sects in Yizhou to pacifying the world, made a decision that profoundly influenced future generations.

The land of Yizhou is under the joint governance of the Yizhou clan and the Great Zhou court, rather than the dictatorship of the Great Zhou court alone!

The Yizhou Sect Alliance came into being as a result, and the entire Yizhou structure lasted for a thousand years and has not changed until this day.

Over the past thousand years, as the practice of cultivation in the Great Zhou world has become more and more prosperous, new sects have been constantly born, and the scale of the Yizhou Sect Alliance has also been growing.

To this day, although many sects have inevitably declined or even disappeared with the passage of time, their number cannot be compared with the increase. In addition, large sects from neighboring Chanzhou and Yanzhou have also joined in. Now the Yizhou Sect Alliance has become a huge organization spanning three states with thousands of sects.

It can be said that within the territory of Yizhou, the Yizhou Sect Alliance has more say than the Great Zhou government!

Such a large, complex organization with complicated influence must have its leader.

There is no doubt that the three holy places of Taoism occupy the highest position in the Yizhou Sect Alliance: Baiyun Temple on Qingxu Peak, Wangchen Sect on Ziyang Peak, and Jian Sect on Luojian Mountain.

These three sects were all taught by the Taoist founder himself, and have thousands of years of foundation. They also made the greatest contribution when Taizu recovered Yizhou, and countless disciples died in the battle, leading to a period of decline.

Thanks to its profound foundation and endless stream of talented disciples, there are many masters in the realm of True Person with Three Flowers Gathering at the Top of the Head in every generation, and there are also many masters in the realm of True Lord with Five Qis Converging to the Origin. This is how it can maintain its transcendent status, and it is still at the top of all sects. Only the holy academies of Confucianism and several holy places of Buddhism can be compared with it.

Ever since the Xuanmen Heavenly Stele was obtained by the Taoist Ancestor and successfully imitated by a master, the original body of the Heavenly Stele has been within the world of Qingxu Peak and is managed by Baiyun Temple. The three imitation Heavenly Steles are owned by the other two Taoist holy places and the Great Zhou royal family.

While Fang Mu was practicing in seclusion, the news that he had previously topped the Heavenly Stele List had already spread from the small worlds where the replica Heavenly Steles were located and became known to the world.

Of course, the Xuanmen Heavenly Stele, even a replica of it, belongs to the Holy Land and the Great Zhou royal family. Ordinary practitioners naturally cannot easily access it and have no way of knowing about it. Even in these small worlds, only those who have reached the upper realm of spirit training and can enter the Heavenly Stele space to accept tests are qualified to know. Therefore, not many people knew about it at the beginning.

But everyone is curious, and it is inevitable that those who know the news will show off everywhere. So after more than a month of fermentation, the news that Fang Mu topped the Tianbei list has spread throughout the Great Zhou cultivation world.

Now it was good. Fang Mu had already become famous after the battle at Yunding Mountain, and even spread to the capital, with many people writing books to record this story. It had only been less than two months, and the heat had not yet faded, and the news of Fang Mu's ascent to the top of the Heavenly Monument was spread again, and once again became a sensation throughout the world.

As a result, the Xuanmen Tianbei, a treasure of inheritance that had rarely been shown to the world, began to become widely known. All of a sudden, the number of people who wanted to join the three major Taoist holy places increased dramatically. Fortunately, the three major holy places were all located in a small world and difficult for outsiders to enter, otherwise their mountain gates would be overcrowded with people.

Shengxian Lake is located deep in the core hinterland of Yizhou, almost in the center of Yizhou. About a thousand miles west of Shengxian Lake, there is an extremely high and steep mountain.

Different from other mountains which are wide at the bottom and narrow at the top, rooted in the vast earth and extremely solid, this mountain is rare in that it is narrow and straight, with little difference in width between the upper and lower parts, and the top of the mountain is more obviously protruding. From a distance, it looks like a huge sword with the hilt facing down and the tip facing up. This is the most amazing work of nature!

Due to the unique shape of this mountain, it looks like a sword falling from the sky, hence the name Luojian Mountain. The Sword Sect, one of the three major holy places of the Taoist sects, is located here!

At this time, there were suddenly many people around Luojian Mountain, which was located deep in the hinterland of Yizhou and had always been sparsely populated. It was obvious that because of the news of Fang Mu's ascent to the top of the Heavenly Stele, the information of the Xuanmen Heavenly Stele became widely known, attracting many practitioners to gather and want to join the Sword Sect.

However, as the holy land of Taoism, the Sword Sect has a very high entry threshold, and only those with superior aptitude can enter. And those who come to become disciples obviously cannot reach the threshold, so naturally they have no way to enter and are just wasting their time.

As time went by, many people chose to give up and leave, but many others came after hearing the news, and the number has not decreased to this day.

"I have a strong will towards the Dao, and I hope that you will open the door of convenience and allow me to join the sect. I may not be worse than Fang Mu from Yangzhou in the future!"

Someone shouted loudly, with a determined expression and kept bowing.

"That's right. The Sword Sect is a holy place for the Taoist sect. It has a treasure like the Xuanmen Heavenly Stele. We should all be allowed to enter and receive the inheritance."

There are also people who use righteous words to attract the crowd's support.

"That's right. The Heavenly Stele was passed down by the Taoist Ancestor. It should belong to everyone in the world, not just one sect or one school!"

"My physique is not bad, why don't you accept me as your disciple? It's really infuriating!"

"........."

Just as everyone was talking and arguing, a crack invisible to the naked eye quietly appeared on the top of Luojian Mountain. It paused for a moment and then closed again, allowing the mob to continue making noise.
