The Tao is far away

Taoist Tianqin took Xu Qianyu and Wang Chi with him, transformed into a blue light, and left Lingyuan in an instant.

Wang Chi was extremely surprised. The speed of this Jindan cultivator's escape technique was beyond imagination, as fast as lightning, which was more than a hundred times faster than his flying speed with a sword!

Mountains, rivers and streams were constantly moving away from his feet. Wang Chi thought that the speed was almost supersonic.

I don’t know how far I flew, but I finally arrived in front of nine mountains.

The nine peaks are quite far apart and vaguely form a nearly circular shape. The nine peaks are of different heights, weights and shapes. Some are soaring into the clouds, as if to pierce the sky; some are low and gentle, like small mounds.

These mountains are of different shapes. Some are covered with green trees, while others are like barren land. For example, the low mountain is bare and lifeless, as if the vitality has been sucked out of it.

On the mountainside, on the top of the mountain, or in the valley in the center of the nine peaks, a group of temples are scattered like stars in the sky, some standing on the top of the mountain, and some hidden in the woods.

Shrouded in mist, they appear and disappear, just like an ink landscape painting, hazy and mysterious.

This was the first time Wang Chi came to such a high altitude in the world. After marveling at the mountain scenery, Wang Chi looked toward the horizon and noticed a detail.

The horizon is still a straight line, but the skyline should be curved.

Could it be that this world is not a planet, but a world where the sky is round and the earth is flat? Wang Chi thought to himself, maybe I just didn't fly high enough, it won't be too late to explore when I reach a higher level of cultivation.

"This is the Tianji Gate..." Taoist Tianqin said.

The Tianji Sect is one of the six major immortal cultivation sects in the South. It has been passed down for thousands of years and has a profound heritage. It has nine major peaks.

They are Tianji Peak, Huofen Peak, Qingzhu Peak, Tianqin Peak, Baixue Peak, Yudi Peak, Hongyan Peak, Tianshui Peak and Huangsha Peak.

In recent years, the sect has recruited many disciples with excellent qualifications, and is showing signs of surpassing the Chunyang Sect and becoming the number one immortal cultivation sect in the South.

Taoist Tianqin did not take the two of them to follow the normal procedures for paying homage to the mountain gate. Xu Qianyu was a disciple he personally accepted, so naturally she was different from those ordinary disciples; Wang Chi held an internal entry order, his origin was unknown, and the power behind him was unfathomable, so they must be dealt with carefully. Taoist Tianqin looked at the two of them and thought secretly.

We arrived at the door of the most magnificent hall in the central valley of Jiufeng. This is the headmaster's hall.

Taoist Tianqin led the two people into the hall, registered their names and left the hall directly. The white-haired head of the sect sitting on the first seat seemed not to see the three of them and lowered his head to deal with things.

Later, Wang Chi realized that the so-called head position was not as glorious and powerful as he had imagined. In fact, this position was more responsible for handling the complicated and trivial daily affairs within the sect.

Generally speaking, the person who serves as the head of the sect is often a disciple who has no hope of forming a golden elixir but has certain management skills and experience.

They may have made little progress in their cultivation, but they were able to manage the sect's affairs in an orderly manner.

This would not only allow these disciples to display their talents, but also allow the sect to operate normally, rather than causing chaos and disorder due to the high-level monks focusing on cultivation.

Most of the Jindan cultivators serve as elders or peak masters. They do not need to deal with trivial matters and only need to practice and teach their disciples.

As for the double-dan cultivators, they are usually the holy leaders of the sect, and they can enjoy priority use of the sect’s resources.

The Nascent Soul cultivator is the ancestor of a sect. Most sects have almost no Nascent Soul cultivators, and the same is true for the Tianji Sect where Wang Chi is.

Taoist Tianqin brought Wang Chi to the cave that had been opened up in the valley. This was the residence for new disciples who had not yet entered the peak, or for those miscellaneous disciples.

"My friend, you rest here for one night. I will pick you up tomorrow." Taoist Tianqin gave Wang Chi a few instructions, then left with Xu Qianyu.

Wang Chi looked at the small and exquisite cave in front of him. There was only a bed and a table. Then he lay down on the soft bed, put his hands behind his head, closed his eyes and began to think.

"This Taoist Tianqin is so kind? Is there something wrong with the entrance order?"

"Or maybe this order is fake, and Li Xiaoxiao deceived me?"

Wang Chi thought a lot, but they were all random guesses, and he fell into a deep sleep soon after.

Taoist Tianqin, who was in the escaping light, said to Xu Qianyu: "Qianyu, are you familiar with him? Do you know his origins?"

Xu Qianyu lowered her head and thought, could it be that this Wang Chi had some special identity?

He said, "Master, I am not familiar with him. We met once in Shangshan County of the Southern Kingdom, and later in the capital."

Taoist Tianqin nodded slightly, and the mysterious token on his palm slowly emerged like a phantom. He said in a deep voice: "If this thing is true, then this person's background must be amazing, and his background is profound beyond imagination. In the future, you might as well try to get in touch with him more."

“Of course, if this token is a fake, you don’t have to waste your time on this person. After all, with the aptitude of three spiritual roots, it is already a great honor for him to have been able to successfully build the foundation.” Tianqin Taoist’s tone was as calm as dead water.

When Xu Qianyu heard these words, she felt a chill in her heart.

Do you want me to use the same old tricks again? In the past, as a killer, I used my sex appeal as a weapon to seduce my targets to complete the mission. Although I was very reluctant, I had no choice but to obey because my life was controlled by others.

I thought that once I entered the immortal path, all the immortals would be compassionate, otherworldly, and free of desires.

However, all the monks he met along the way showed ugly faces.

At this point, Xu Qianyu's beautiful fantasy about immortals was shattered like a mirror, and her understanding of immortals instantly fell to the bottom.

It turns out that the so-called immortals are just like this!

After arranging a quiet and elegant cave with pleasant environment for Xu Qianyu at Tianqin Peak, Taoist Tianqin rushed to the Elder Hall at the top of the main peak like a gust of wind. This is where the elders of the sect discuss important matters, and the atmosphere is solemn and dignified.

As soon as he entered the hall, an old Taoist named Huoxuzi, whose face was ruddy and whose beard was fluttering, asked impatiently, "Tianqin, you came to us in such a hurry to tell us something. What big thing happened?"

The other seven elders also looked at him with curiosity and doubt.

Facing everyone's gaze, Taoist Tianqin sat down on the chair calmly, took out a token from his arms, and placed it gently on the table.

Everyone's eyes were drawn to the token like a magnet. They saw that it was pitch black and engraved with mysterious and complex runes, like the twinkling stars in the night sky.

"What! This is..." One of the elders was dumbfounded. He obviously recognized the origin of the token, but seemed a little unbelievable.

The other elders looked at each other, exchanged glances, and read a sentence from each other's eyes: How could this giant Buddha be here?
