Ch. 58 - Where the Power Lay

Ji Yuenian pondered for a moment, bowed to the people from the Six Mountains and Three Realms, and said, "Thanks to all Sect Seniors for coming here. When I was in the Luoxia Mountains, I wanted to enter the Xingyuan Peak to cultivate."

Eclipse gave him a deep look, then he directly turned around and went to the Silver Rainbow Imperial Chariot. The nine graceful women drove the Luan birds and left the Luoxia Mountains with a clear chirping sound.

"Every Tong Xuan Heart Ghost bloodline is extremely rare." Holy Son Tai Qing seemed to imply something with his words, "Before coming to the Luoxia Mountain I went to Taichu to see if there were any others with a similar bloodline but found out ... it was too late, if you have time to spare, go back and take a look."

After he finished speaking, he went straight to Qingming with a sword, and with a flash, he disappeared in an instant.

The status of Tai Qing Holy Son was extremely noble. Even the disciples within the Six Mountains and Three Realms rarely see him. The reason he has such amazing patience with Ji Yuenian was that he had a Tong Xuan Heart Ghost bloodline that had ignited the Grade 4 Heart Fire Sequence. There was a great possibility for him to ascend the Holy Son's throne in the future, so there was no harm in leaving a connection behind.

Li Shixuan, the Master of Xingyuan Peak, with a smile on his face took out a token from his sleeve and handed it to Ji Yuenian, saying: "From now on, you are a General Disciple of Xingyuan Peak (Star Year Peak), and you have the power to enforce the law on over 1,000 disciples within the peak!"

Each mountain would have several powerful General Disciples to oversee and manage the disciples within it. The general disciples had a great deal of authority and could control various affairs, not only that they could also receive more cultivation resources. The Eclipsed Moon Peak, where Ji Yuenian stayed before, had no General Disciple because of the scarcity of disciples.

Xingyuan Peak, the sixth-ranked mountain in the Luoxia Mountains, had over 400 Outer Sect Disciples and more than 1,300 Handymen Disciples, so there were 19 General Disciples in it.

His first step into the Outer Sect was to directly become a disciple of Xingyuan Peak. It could be said that he had rocketed upwards, just from the starting point alone which exceeded the rest of the disciples by a huge margin.

"Thank you, Peak Master." Ji Yuenian stepped forward and took the token of Xingyuan Peak's General Disciple and put it away.

"Peak Master Liao, this fourth level .... what should I do?" Ji Qiong's gaze moved slightly, and went toward Liao Xun and said in a low voice.

"Naturally we have to continue, otherwise what will happen to the tens of thousands of disciples who have passed the third level on this stone platform?" Liao Xun looked at the densely packed figures in all directions of Tongming Peak, raised his Profound Energy, and said loudly, "All the Outer Sect Disciples and Handymen disciples, leave Tongming Peak immediately, if you want to watch the entrance examination, you can return to the peak and watch it through the light curtain!"

"Ji Yuenian, do you still want to take part in the fourth level?"

Li Shixuan had brought Ji Yuenian to his side long ago. At this time, he watched Liao Xun reopen the light door on the nine stone platforms and smiled sideways.

"Yes, Peak Master, I'm quite curious about this illusionary level."

"Then you can go. You've reaped a windfall this time, and you need to prepare well in the mountain." Li Shixuan pointed to the lofty light door which was rising above the stone platform, "The usual rewards are special rewards for the superior bloodline, qualification rewards for the Grade 4 Heart Fire, the reward for entering my Xingyuan Peak, and the rewards for General Disciples. The most important is the reward for ranking first in the entrance examination and the even more amazing reward of 300 stone steps. In addition, there should be several other rewards, even I can't remember them."

Ji Yuenian nodded his head, then bowed towards the Peak Master Xingyuan, and leaped towards the stone platform below.

The Imperial Chariot was just 10 meters above the ground, Ji Yuenian's black robe fluttered and danced, and there was a natural yin of heaven and earth under his feet, and he landed firmly on the ground.

"Senior Brother Ji, can you leave your communication jade talisman?" A young man in a Taoist robe hurried over, holding a jade talisman high in his hand, with an anxious and desperate look on his face.

Ji Yuenian frowned, just as he was about to speak, another man came over beside him, directly put the jade talisman in his hand, and said with a smile, "I have admired Senior Brother Ji for a long time, so I will leave a transmission jade talisman for now. I hope senior brother will not refuse."

"Senior Brother Ji!" A pretty girl in a bright red dress leaned over with a blushing face.

"Senior Brother Ji ..."

Ji Yuenian landed on the stone platform for only a few breaths, but unexpectedly dozens of disciples rushed frantically, wanting to give him the communication jade talisman.

"The light door is about to close." Ji Yuenian said softly while pointing to the light door in the center of the stone platform, which gradually dimmed.

This remark had little effect, and even the members standing on the other eight stone platforms were frequently watching him with eager eyes. If it weren't for barriers between the nine stone platforms, he was afraid that some of these people would've directly rushed over long ago.

Ji Yuenian has been identified as a candidate Holy Son, and he might be listed as the Holy Son of the Six Mountains in the future. If one could be lucky enough to befriend him within the Luoxia Mountains, then it would be unimaginable help for one's future cultivation.

This was not a facile act of favoritism, but within the nature of living spirits to seek profit and avoid harm.

No matter what the outcome was, if it could bring benefits to cultivation, then it was worth trying.

The people who eagerly handed in the jade talisman were not stupid. On the contrary, those disciples who were proud of their status, while saying disdainful words, could not stop the sourness in their hearts.

Ji Yuenian shook his head slightly, flicked his sleeve, and put away all the dozens of jade talismans, saying: "That's it, I'll head to the fourth level assessment, if it's too late, I won't make it."

"Yes, Senior Brother Ji!"

"Senior Brother Ji, I will find a way to enter the Xingyuan Peak and follow you!"

Those who had their jade talismans accepted were excited and spoke with great respect.

After Ji Yuenian entered the light gate first, they followed closely into the light gate.

Seeing Ji Yuenian take those jade talismans away with him, those disciples who had previously prided themselves on their status had a change of  expression slightly and could not help but regret in their hearts.
