“Hmph, you haven’t even achieved Foundation Establishment, but you re already thinking about such matters. You’re not afraid you’ll crumble midway, are you?”
Shan Hongyi appeared to be displeased with E Yun, and his words were tinged
with criticism.
Upon hearing this, Yuan Chiye had no choice but to pretend he didn’t hear anything.
“Elder, all are present now.”
Finding it necessary to change the subject, he checked the name roster against his memory of the initial spiritual testing. Upon confirming its accuracy, he handed the roster to Shan Hongyi.
“Mmm, let’s go then.”
After glancing at the roster, Shan Hongyi returned it and stomped his foot, infusing a massive surge of spiritual power into the power source of the Floating Airship.
Amidst the creaking sounds—
The huge flying artifact, crafted from wood, began to ascend.
Many of the Loose Cultivators were amazed, standing at the vessel’s rail, their hands gripping the railing tightly. As they watched the Southstream Market on the ground grow increasingly smaller, they marveled at and enjoyed their first flying experience.
Quite a few people turned pale, but under the gaze of Shan Hongyi and the two true disciples, all of them insisted on standing.
Even the Luo Siblings were somewhat pale.
In contrast, Yu Lian stood there, his face as composed as ever.
Chen Mobai took a look around and then found a spot to close his eyes and meditate.
A day and a night later—
They finally arrived at Giant Tree Ridge.
In response to the commotion around him, Chen Mobai opened his eyes, walked to the ship’s edge, and looked down.
He saw towering trees reaching into the sky, forming a sea of green foliage.
As per his assessment, each tree had to be a hundred meters long, with a diameter equivalent to two people embracing. The three enormous trees at the center even reached the clouds, their tops were invisible. They must have been thousands of meters in length.
This was the famed “Three Divine Trees” upon which the Divine Wood Sect’s reputation was built, right?
Apparently, they were transplanted from an immortal’s secret realm by Yuan Daojun for cultivation of a secret longevity technique. After Daojun ascended, these three Divine Trees served as his cultivation site and survived countless wars because no one dared to destroy them.
They genuinely deserved their reputation as Divine Trees’.
Comparing them to the jade phoenix tree in Red Sandstone City, Chen Mobai conceded that due to the limitation of his realm level, he could not discern any difference.
As everyone admired the view, Shan Hongyi created a talisman, and a ripple emerged in the air, creating a portal.
An unprecedented dense spiritual qi flooded their senses, and in merely a moment, Chen Mobai felt his Five Elements Cultivation improving.
Was this truly the Rank-4 top-grade Spirit Vein?
While he was still marveling inwardly, they entered the portal. It felt as if a leaf boat fell into an endless sea. All they could see were dense green leaves and trees.
The Floating Airship significantly slowed its speed. After gliding for about fifteen minutes, they finally broke out of the sea of trees and landed on a vast plain.
A string of grand wooden halls carved with dragons and phoenixes appeared before their eyes.
A broad timber path, about ten meters wide, extended from the landing platform where their airship touched down, leading directly to a grand hall suspended in the air, between two giant trees.
“New disciples should first report to our Ancestor worship hall.”
Upon landing, Shan Hongyi withdrew the Floating Airship and vanished.
As the guide, Yuan Chiye immediately stepped forward to call them.
Chen Mobai and his group followed him along the long wooden path to the grand hall suspended between the trees.
Three disciples from the Divine Wood Sect were already waiting for them with writing materials in hand.
After Yuan Chiye led them to register their names, he brought them to a place called Bud Hall.
“All new disciples who join must chop wood for three months.
“After three months, if you have made no errors, you can choose a department
of your preference.”
“These are your nameplates. New disciples can go to the Book Pavilion to receive a Qi Cultivation Technique and a Spell.”
-Every month, you can also go to Spirit Treasure Pavilion to receive your share of Spirit Stones as a ritual of the Divine Wood Sect. The number of Spirit Stones will depend on your cultivation level and the number of tasks you’ve accomplished.”
“I’ll be addressing any queries regarding the rules of the Divine Wood Sect here for the next month. If you have questions about cultivation techniques, you can approach me as well. However, given the limitations of my cultivation level, it’s another story whether I can answer your questions.
After Yuan Chiye finished his explanation, he distributed the nameplates to everyone.
When Chen Mobai received his, he saw it was a piece of black ebony, inscribed with a sophisticated formation. After infusing it with a drop of blood, it turned into a magic artifact that only he could activate.
He could use the nameplate to enter or leave Giant Tree Ridge.
However, before entering or leaving, they first needed to apply to another department of the Divine Wood Sect. Specialists would input an additional restriction into their nameplate, which would be recognized by the Large Formation, granting them passage.
Chen Mobai learned all these details after Yuan Chiye’s explanation.
Three days passed without him noticing, and he had already been in the Divine Wood Sect for three days.
Every morning, he listened carefully to the rules of the sect explained by Yuan Chiye.
Initially, everyone else was also engaged, but soon enough, they started to lose interest.
While Yuan Chiye was lecturing, they were sitting below and meditating.
The spiritual qi in Giant Tree Ridge was indeed extremely dense. Compared to Yun Country, their cultivation progress was astoundingly fast. Everyone was eagerly refining the spirit qi.
“Alright, that’s it for today’s lesson. Those seven of you who are scheduled today, come with me to the Book Pavilion.”
After finishing his lecture, Yuan Chiye stood up and walked towards the exit of the lecture hall.
For the newcomers like Chen Mobai who had just joined the Divine Wood Sect, their most anticipated event was naturally selecting their cultivation techniques from the Book Pavilion.
However, with so many new disciples, it was impossible to let over a hundred people swarm in at once.
Moreover, they didn’t know the way.
Hence, the kind-hearted Yuan Chiye decided to take seven disciples to the Book Pavilion after finishing his lecture each day.
In this manner, everyone would have made their selection after half a month.
Because of their strong enthusiasm about picking a cultivation technique, many Loose Cultivators offered up their most precious spirit stones to Yuan Chiye. He accepted those with grace and arranged the order according to the number of spirit stones given.
Chen Mobai, being a prodigy, was scheduled for the third day just by symbolically giving one spirit stone.
It seemed that to remain in step with him, Liu Wenbo and Zhuo Ming were also scheduled for today.
Yuan Chiye guided the seven of them through numerous timber trails to a giant tree about ten meters in diameter.
This tree was, impressively, the Book Pavilion.
Yuan Chiye presented his nameplate for verification, following which a door appeared at the base of the tree.
“Follow me inside, make sure not to damage anything in there. Otherwise, you’ll be expelled from the sect.”
The usually gentle Yuan Chiye spoke in a tone that was unexpectedly serious, before leading them in.
All nodded their agreement.
Upon entering the giant tree, they realized its core was hollowed out.
A range of bookshelves were carved out around the circular tree walls, with ladders and walkways leading to various levels, all the way up to the hundred-meter-high ceiling. Truly spectacular..
