Reborn as the Strongest Immortal Cultivator in Modern Times

The morning sun shines through the clouds and mist onto the cliff face, waking the birds perched on the tree branches.

Ye Yu, who was cultivating in the tent, heard the clear chirping of birds, opened his eyes, and crawled out of the tent.

She looked around at the scenery and exhaled a breath of stale air.

As expected of the location of the Hidden Sect, Shenxianjia is incredibly mysterious, yet it is rich in spiritual energy.

She cultivated here for a day and a night. Although her spiritual power only recovered to 40% of its original level, her internal and external injuries were almost completely healed after taking a large number of pills.

Ye Yu packed up the tent, took some food from her storage ring and ate it, then slowly slid down the cliff using the spider silk.

She couldn't possibly go back to the cliff. What if the Spider Queen was waiting there or caught up with her after recovering? Ye Yu dared not gamble again.

The bottom of the cliff was still shrouded in mist, and nothing could be seen except for a few rays of sunlight shining through the mist.

Ye Yu extended her divine sense and carefully walked forward. The direction she was in now should be close to the Hidden Gate.

Therefore, there is a high possibility that many members of the Hidden Gate will appear nearby. If a conflict were to break out with them, things would be very bad.

Fortunately, she did not encounter any danger along the way, and the surrounding scenery gradually overlapped with the scenes in the Taoist man's memory.

As you walk further, a golden expanse comes into view, as if you have stepped into a fairyland.

Ye Yu arrived in front of two huge ginkgo trees. The trunks of these two ancient ginkgo trees were very thick and tall. It would take about fourteen or fifteen people to encircle them. Their branches and leaves were lush, like a huge golden umbrella.

Golden leaves drifted down from the trees, carpeting the surroundings with a golden hue—a truly breathtaking sight.

"This should be the entrance to the Hidden Gate," Ye Yu muttered to himself, looking up at the two tall ginkgo trees.

Following the Taoist man's memory, she walked between two ginkgo trees. Suddenly, the scenery around her changed, and a tall stone gate appeared before her.

The stone gate was built into a towering cliff face, and Ye Yu guessed that the location of the hidden gate should be behind this cliff face.

This must be a concealed formation set up by the secret gate to block the entrance. Only by passing through two ginkgo trees can one enter the formation and reach the door.

She gathered her strength in both hands and pushed the two stone doors back, opening them to reveal a straight passage.

The passageway was brightly lit, but all of them were oil lamps; there were no electric lights.

She stepped into the passage, and the stone door behind her closed automatically.

Even after entering this place, Ye Yu's divine sense could only detect a distance of a few dozen meters. She fully extended it and walked forward along the passage.

After walking about 800 meters, Ye Yu noticed someone not far away and guessed that it should be the gatekeeper of the hidden gate.

To avoid arousing suspicion, she took out a black cloak from her storage ring and put it on to cover her clothes.

Judging from the clothing of the people she had fought before, they were all dressed like people from ancient times. Her clothes were too modern, which would easily arouse their suspicion.

Ye Yu wrapped herself in a cloak and calmly walked up to the gatekeeper.

The gatekeepers, dressed in Chu-style brown clothing, looked Ye Yu up and down several times as she approached, but they didn't say anything.

Ye Yu calmly followed the Taoist man's memory, took the card, and walked to a square device. Next to the device was a generator humming to supply power to it.

She inserted the card into the slot, and the words 'Taiyi Sect' appeared on the display screen above, which was probably the sect the Taoist man belonged to.

Seeing that Ye Yu's identity was not problematic, the man standing closest to the iron gate said, "Go in."

He pushed open the iron gate, and a beam of light shone in from outside. Ye Yu calmly nodded to the group and walked out of the gate.

The iron gate behind her closed again, and Ye Yu breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the identity recognition machine did not display a human face, otherwise her identity would have been exposed immediately.

Ye Yu observed her surroundings and felt as if she had entered another world. The trees were lush and the vegetation was abundant, and the hazy mist that had been there before was nowhere to be seen.

She was pleasantly surprised to find that her divine sense could be fully extended here, which gave her an extra layer of protection.

Ye Yu pondered for a moment, wanting to find an outfit suitable for this place to change into. Although she was wearing a cloak, she was still very conspicuous.

She looked around, chose one of the winding mountain paths, and started walking.

There were many wildflowers and trees along the way, and even occasionally one or two small animals would run by.

Ye Yu sighed inwardly, "This is indeed a small world. The ancestors of the Hidden Sect were geniuses to have found this place."

It's so secluded and hidden from the world; I wish I could have a place like that someday.

She walked along the mountain path for more than an hour until she arrived at the foot of a mountain.

The area at the foot of the mountain is very open, and not far away, there is a large piece of land where many fruits and vegetables are grown.

She walked across the fields for several hundred meters and then saw a courtyard in front of her, with a stone tablet on the side with the character '静' (quiet) engraved on it.

Ye Yu stopped in front of the courtyard, wondering what kind of sect this was. She wondered how many experts were inside. Could it be Xia Zhong's sect?

It seems like this is the only sect around here. Should I sneak in and find some clothes, or...?

While she was still considering, she saw two girls dressed in light blue dresses and wearing veils come out carrying buckets of water.

Seeing Ye Yu dressed in a black robe, they looked wary. One of the girls, who looked about sixteen or seventeen years old, asked, "May I ask what brings you to our 'Tranquil Mind Sect'?"

Ye Yu saw that there were two girls opposite her, and her expression became somewhat wary. After thinking for a moment, she took off the hood of her cloak, revealing a pale face.

She coughed twice and said weakly, "I am injured. Seeing your sect here, I wanted to come forward and ask for some water and rest for a while."

The two girls exchanged a glance and, seeing that Ye Yu was indeed pale and very weak, asked, "Which sect are you from?"

Ye Yu once again borrowed the sect of the Taoist man and replied, "I am from the Taiyi Sect."

The girl nodded and said, "Taiyi Sect is indeed very far from here. Please wait a moment while I go back and report to my master."

Hearing her say that, Ye Yu thought there was hope, so she nodded and thanked her, saying, "Thank you very much, little sister."

The older girl nodded to Ye Yu, put down the bucket in her hand, and said to another girl beside her, "Yinling, wait here for a while. I will go and report to my master and then come back."

The girl named Yinling replied in a clear voice, "Senior sister, go and inform Master. We'll wait for you here."

Seeing that Yinling agreed, the girl jogged into the gate.
