Ch. 606 - Ye Kai & Ye Xuan

When Xu Zimo gave the order, the man in yellow cried out in alarm.

He shouted, “Lin Qiu, what are you trying to do? We’re fellow disciples from the same sect. Are you trying to kill your own people?”

“You’re a disciple from Jade Heaven Mountain, yet you came to Grand Heaven Mountain acting arrogant and even tried to steal my maid. No matter how you spin it, I’m in the right here,” Xu Zimo replied calmly.

“If you dare touch me, Senior Brother Shen Lang won’t let you off!” the man in yellow said in a panic.

Before he could finish speaking, the two guards beside him moved.

Each landed a palm on his knees and then on his...

Painful cracking sounds echoed, and the man in yellow fell to his knees, screaming in pain.

The intense pain bent his body like a shrimp.

His forehead dripped with sweat. He glared at Xu Zimo with hatred and growled, “Y-you’ll regret this, you useless trash. I’ll remember this humiliation...!”

Xu Zimo chuckled and said, “Rip out his tongue and shove it up his ass. Let him crawl back to Jade Heaven Mountain. Oh, and I’ll be in seclusion for a while. Don’t disturb me unless it’s urgent.”

With that, Xu Zimo returned to his courtyard, ignoring the painful screams behind him.

…

After finishing his meal, Xu Zimo returned to his room to continue refining his body.

Restoring his strength was the foundation of surviving in this new world.

Because time flowed differently between the God World and the Eternal Lands, ten days in the God World equaled just one day here, he chose to train inside his own inner world, the God World.

Thanks to the strength of his divine soul, body refinement wasn’t too difficult anymore.

Still, for the sake of a solid foundation and maximizing this new body’s potential, he took things slowly and carefully.

Like that, Xu Zimo trained non-stop in the God World for three whole months.

Aside from eating to replenish energy, he devoted all his time to refining his body.

In the outside world, only one month passed before Xu Zimo finally walked out of his courtyard.

He planned to visit his father and then check out the Scripture Repository of Grand Heaven Mountain.

That would be his first step toward understanding this new world.

As he stepped out of his courtyard, Xu Zimo took his first good look at the scenery since arriving here.

Grand Heaven Mountain towered into the sky. From afar, it looked less like a mountain and more like a floating continent.

The peak was surrounded by mist, and his courtyard sat halfway up.

Around the mountain floated countless jade towers and pavilions.

Cranes flew elegantly through the sky, circling the towers and calling out clearly.

Others rode six-winged flying tigers. The beasts roared, lightning crackled around them, and purple arcs of energy surged in the air.

It all looked like a fairyland, beautiful and surreal.

The courtyards were not just for him. Other disciples lived nearby too.

Residences in Grand Heaven Mountain were strictly ranked.

The Mountain Lord lived at the summit, followed by the elders.

Below them were core disciples, then family members like Xu Zimo.

Even lower were the inner and outer disciples, and finally the servant disciples, too many to count.

Not long after Xu Zimo stepped out, he saw two people approaching.

A man and a woman, both a bit older than him.

The man wore the white robe of a core disciple, with a long sword at his waist.

His robe was embroidered with drifting white clouds and had gold-trimmed blue borders.

The woman beside him had a delicate, oval face and bright, lively eyes.

She wore her hair in a bun and dressed in a custom white robe for female disciples.

Her skin was fair and gave off an air that made others want to protect her.

When the two saw Xu Zimo walking over, the man stayed calm, but the woman gave a loud snort, clearly upset.

Based on his memories, Xu Zimo knew who they were.

They were Lin Beisheng’s personal disciples.

The man was Ye Kai, the woman Ye Xuan, a brother-sister pair who had joined the sect together under Lin Beisheng.

Xu Zimo also knew why Ye Xuan was angry.

His body’s previous owner had once secretly watched her bathe and then spread the story about the giant pimple on her butt throughout Grand Heaven Mountain.

That scandal had ruined her reputation. Even Lin Beisheng, who doted on Lin Qiu, had scolded him seriously.

Since then, Ye Xuan held a deep grudge.

Xu Zimo shook his head slightly. He really felt like he was paying off someone else’s debts.

But now that he had taken this body, there was no avoiding it.

“Junior Brother Lin,” Ye Kai greeted him with a smile.

Ye Kai had a good temper, calm and polite without the arrogance of a core disciple. He was well-liked among Grand Heaven Mountain’s people.

“Senior Brother Ye, Senior Sister Ye, where are you heading?” Xu Zimo smiled and asked.

“There’s a major event coming up among the Nine Mountains, it's called the Nine Heavens Grand Gathering,” Ye Kai explained with a smile. “Apparently, people from the main sect will be attending, so our Patriarch is taking it very seriously. He hopes our peak can perform well and outshine the others. That’s why he’s been personally teaching us lately.”

When Ye Kai mentioned the main sect, Xu Zimo found some useful info in his memories.

A long time ago, the Nine Heavens Imperial Sect was the strongest force in the northern region.

But internal conflicts and several major battles split the sect.

Some people left to form a new sect elsewhere.

Those who stayed behind slowly declined, falling from a top-tier force to a second-rate one.

The remaining seven peaks were now only united in name.

Meanwhile, the people who left formed a new Nine Heavens Imperial Sect, which only grew stronger and eventually became dominant.

Interestingly, the main sect didn’t abandon the old one.

They still helped the old sect regularly.

To distinguish the two, people referred to the new sect as the “main sect” and the old one as the “branch sect.”

Xu Zimo’s Grand Heaven Mountain was part of the branch sect.

Each year, the main sect would select talented disciples from the branch to train in their ranks.

So this Nine Heavens Grand Gathering, with main sect members attending, was a big deal.

As for what the gathering involved, his body’s memories didn’t have that info.

The “Patriarch” Ye Kai mentioned was Lin Juemie, Xu Zimo’s grandfather.

He was one of Grand Heaven Mountain’s founders.

Lin Beisheng, Xu Zimo’s father, inherited the role of Mountain Lord from Lin Juemie.

The one being groomed to take over as the next Mountain Lord was Xu Zimo’s brother, Lin Feng.
