Chapter 238: Luo Tian Immortal Sect
Now, Chen Jingzhai understood why senior brother Fuyunzi came to take him in person.
Because he truly deserved to be called a genius talent.
And because he was different from the other cultivators in Pulao Kingdom. He was made possible completely through the accumulation of resources.
The Path of Technique Creation complemented him perfectly, then a lot of resources were used to lay the foundation.
Just this alone had surpassed many cultivators in Pulao Kingdom. Even in Pulao Territory, it was considered top-notch.
More importantly, he cultivated both internally and externally. The acupoints of his body as well as all the meridians, formation patterns, and divine mind were cultivated to the fullest.
Chen Jingzhai even thought that senior brother Fuyunzi’s silent and sudden appearance might not have been simply waiting for him. Perhaps, he was also observing his performance.
If he, like the others, had to take time to process the essence power, it would suggest that he was really not up to snuff.
And Fuyunzi probably would not show up if that was what he saw.
“Senior brother, how many people will be participating in Battle of the Genius Talents this time?” Chen Jingzhai asked.
“Seven,” Fuyunzi said with a smile. “You are the seventh.”
“So many?” Chen Jingzhai asked in surprise.
“It’s really just a coincidence,” Fuyunzi said with a smile. “One from each of the four main lineages and one from each of three side lineages. Only the Iron Sword lineage and the rest of the side lineages have no candidates.”
“Is there anyone I know?” Chen Jingzhai asked after thinking about it for a while.
“No.” Fuyunzi knew what he meant. “The other six are from outside of Pulao Kingdom. Of course, you should refer to it as outside of the Woods Ocean. The place of hidden lineages has a special name.”
“Understood!” Chen Jingzhai responded.
As they were chatting along the way, the clouds and mists flew past them.
Their speed was much faster than Chen Jingzhai’s tower ship. If it wasn’t for the shield, he wouldn’t even dare to open his eyes.
The power of True Venerable Spirit Plane was mighty and majestic. It was not something that Foundational cultivators could hope to compare.
This was what they called a step that crossed over heavens, and each heaven was a world unto itself.
It was referring to the transformation from Golden Core to Spirit Plane.
Golden Core was a true starting point for cultivators. After that, each step would take them further than the previous one.
And their power, naturally, would get stronger with each step.
Even though the Pulao Territory was vast, much bigger than hundreds and thousands of Pulao Kingdoms; however, ultimately, it was beneath the feet of cultivators. Only cultivators in True Venerable Spirit Plane dared to fly this fast.
Nascent Zhenjuns who were without spiritual items would never have dared to fly like this, for fear of being hunted.
After several hours, Luo Tian Immortal Faction appeared in front of him, but there was still a long way to go. Chen Jingzhai was captivated by its massive magnificence and was amazed to no end.
The convergence of six atavistic leylines was the best of the southeastern region of Pulao Territory.
The essence power gathered into a fog, and there was a celestial city in the midst of mountains.
Holding the whisk, Fuyunzi took Chen Jingzhai as they lowered the cloud and flew into the mountains, gliding close to the ground.
At a glance, Chen Jingzhai saw several cities, all built around mountains.
“Luo Tian Immortal Sect has thirteen cities for cultivators and their families to reside.
“The forces of all sides are intertwined, but any conflicts or disputes are to be taken outside of the city.
“You will understand this later.
“I’ll take you to see a few elders first.
“The four immortals are not usually in the clan, and it takes luck to meet them.”
As Fuyunzi was speaking, he gently waved the whisk in his hand.
Beneath the mountains, an elusive path was gathered by the light and was revealed out of nowhere.
Fuyunzi didn’t explain much. The cloud flew into the mountains and followed along this elusive path.
As soon as they entered, Chen Jingzhai felt that he was immersed in an ocean of essence power.
The slumbering spirit deities in his body opened their eyes, quickly absorbing and digesting the essence power.
A tiny vortex that was invisible to the naked eye appeared on Chen Jingzhai’s body.
A massive amount of essence power poured in, and Chen Jingzhai felt incredibly refreshed everywhere in his body.
The cloud under his feet was moving fast and directly entered the interior of the Luo Tian Immortal Faction.
Chen Jingzhai also felt a lot of attention to them. Clearly, Fuyunzi and he had already been noticed.
Six atavistic leylines; one for each of the five immortals.
That’s why the main lineage was also called the celestial leyline.
The last celestial leyline that was facing the south was the entrance of Luo Tian Immortal Sect.
Major palaces were located within, obscured by trees and surrounded by clouds and mists.
Fuyunzi first took Chen Jingzhai to the ninth lineage, where they made an offering of incense in the Hall of the Masters.
Then he took Chen Jingzhai to visit many elders.
Because the master of the ninth lineage was absent, the elders shouldered most of the responsibilities.
They obviously had heard about Fuyunzi and Little Master-Uncle from the hidden branch.
They were all from outside of Woods Ocean and they were of the same line. Naturally, they felt closer to each other.
In their conversations, most of them were eager and expectant, not cold or arrogant at all. Their attitude was excellent.
Starting from the ninth lineage on, then to the tenth, eleventh, and twelfth lineages, Chen Jingzhai received many gifts from the elders during this round of visit. All of them were spirit stones of excellent quality.
Chen Jingzhai was a little surprised, but Fuyunzi told him this was a common courtesy.
In the future, Chen Jingzhai would also need to prepare gifts of his own, especially the officers-at-large, direct disciples, disciples of the elders, etc. They were the true inheritors of the main lineages and they were his own people.
Finally, Fuyunzi took Chen Jingzhai to Iron Sword Pavilion and replaced his identity token with a brand new one. Then Chen Jingzhai’s name, seniority, and branch information were recorded.
After everything was done, Fuyunzi brought Chen Jingzhai to the residence of the ninth lineage.
“After seven days, the Battle of the Genius Talents will begin.
“Make use of this time to get yourself oriented.
“Here is the information on the participating genius talents. You can take a look.
“Don’t be in a hurry to cultivate. And don’t worry about the cave residence or anything about the Archive Pavilion.
“This time, if you can emerge as the No. 1 from the Battle of the Genius Talents, you will have everything you need.”
Fuyunzi gave him three jade slips and then left immediately after.
Chen Jingzhai didn’t pay too much attention as he walked around the residence.
After getting familiar with the place, he activated the restrictive formation of the residence.
Then he went to the training room to read up on three jade slips.
One jade slip spoke of the common knowledge and the geography of Pulao Territory.
The other jade slip talked about the rules, structures, and many aspects of Luo Tian Immortal Sect.
The last jade slip talked about the opponents participating in the Battle of the Genius Talents with detailed information on the six participants.
Chen Jingzhai read them one by one, then closed his eyes in deep thought.
The spirit deities in the acupoints of his body automatically absorbed the essence power. Soon, nine gigantic vortices appeared around him.
Some common customs and the geography of Pulao Territory were easy to understand. After all, Chen Jingzai had the inheritance of Venerable Ning, so he was not unfamiliar with all the territories in Heaven Essence Realm.
As for Luo Tian Immortal Faction, with Fuyunzi’s explanation, he quickly figured out everything. After making the rounds with senior brother Fuyunzi, he gradually became familiar with the clan.
In fact, the Luo Tian Immortal Faction was simpler than the Luo Sheng Sword School. There were just the six atavistic leylines!
The ones who entered the Luo Tian Immortal Faction were, in fact, the atavistic Leyline of the clan. Iron Sword Pavilion was the fifth atavistic leyline, with the other four lineages occupying the four major atavistic leylines. He had plenty of time to learn more about them later, so there was no rush to do it now.
On the contrary, the six opponents were worth his pondering.
The genius talent from the tenth lineage was found by their officer-at-large from the west of Pulao Territory. He possessed the Innate Lightning Body. Not only did he possess a special physique, but he had also awakened a Lightning Magic Eye with a third eye on his forehead.
The genius talent from the eleventh lineage possessed the Innate Indestructible Body, whose four limbs could grow in one day if chopped off, a perfect prototype in the art of Body Cultivation. It was said that he had also comprehended the power of Will.
The genius talent of the twelfth lineage was born with the Innate Body of a Hundred Flowers, which was a special physique of the wood attribute. It was said that the eleventh lineage had fought over her. Not only did she possess a special physique, but her beauty was peerless and caught a lot of attention as soon as she was admitted.
The genius talents from the three side lineages were not to be ignored either. One with metal attribute heaven spirit root, though without sword bone, was noticed by the Iron Sword Lineage, which seemed very interested in recruiting him.
Another one had the Body of All Methods, who comprehended spells as easily as eating or drinking. And he had already comprehended Dharma Intent. Besides his considerable strength, his family was also very powerful.
Then the last one with Body of Ice Core, not from any familial principalities but accepted as an apprentice by a family side lineage, who was more tyrannical than the ice attribute heaven spirit root. She had an ice-cold temperament that was oddly attractive.
Six genius talents, four men and two women, all of whom were extraordinary beyond measure. Each of them possessed tyrannical strength and sufficient foundation. For Chen Jingzhai to compete with them, the odds were surprisingly not very good.
Chen Jingzhai comprehended the Dharma Intent and the sword’s will, but these people did the same as well.
Others had special physiques or heaven spirit roots. However, Chen Jingzhai, except for his head, had his entire skeleton transformed into celestial bones which were far more superior than special physiques.
Celestial Bones reign above spiritual roots. Above the celestial bones were special physiques, and among the special physiques, specifics like double pupils, double ears, divine olfactory, etc. also belonged to special physiques, but they were slightly inferior to an entire body made of celestial bones.
Judging this way, Chen Jingzhai’s only advantage was his innate physical body because he couldn’t find any edge in cultivation or methods. After all, Luo Tian Immortal Faction had a profound background, and these opponents’ cultivation must be in sync with the methods they cultivated. So it was not easy for Chen Jingzhai to win in that aspect.
