Killing God - Chapter 190
Chapter 190 Immortal Cave
Golden Rainbow Mountain stood proudly in the sea. It was favored by Gan Jingcheng, the founder of the High Firmament Sect, ten thousand years ago. The founding of a sect here laid the foundation for the inheritance of a ten thousand year old cultivation sect. Today, the Ling Xiao Sect was one of the four great sects in the world. Its strength was unfathomable. The experts of the sect gathered like clouds of geniuses and were admired by the world. Golden Rainbow Mountain was also known as the number one mountain in the south of the Primordial Chaos, and it was one of the top spiritual lands in the Primordial Chaos Master Realm.
The entire Golden Rainbow Mountain was incomparably large, and hundreds of islands of different sizes were scattered in the surrounding sea area around the mountain range, surrounding this sea immortal mountain like stars arching across the moon. According to the rules passed down by the Ling Xiao Sect over the years, all new disciples had to go to Bluefish Island to cultivate. Only those with talent and intelligence that could break through to the Origin Condensation Realm would truly be admitted to the sect, step onto Golden Rainbow Spirit Mountain, and be recognized as direct disciples by the Ling Xiao Sect. Only then would they truly embark on the Grand Dao of Immortal Cultivation.
Ten thousand years of inheritance, Countless generations of management, Golden Rainbow Mountain naturally had a lot of things to do right now. Daoist Primordial Core Realm Daoists are naturally the top figures in the sect, and their residences are different. Although they can’t be counted, the highest part of Golden Rainbow Mountain is also the peak of one-third of the mountain with the most abundant Spiritual Qi. Almost all of them are caves cultivated by these Daoist Primordials. Of course, there are also some important palaces.
Apart from that, there were many pavilions and halls in the middle of the mountain peak, including the main halls of the various halls in the sect, as well as numerous buildings. Layers and layers of buildings were stacked here, which was usually a lively place, and was also the center of everyone’s activities in the Lingxiao Sect.
As for the bottom third of the mountain, It was also a delicate and verdant mountain, There are many cave dwellings built, It was where thousands of direct disciples of Lingxiao Sect lived and cultivated, Countless mountain paths, large or small, connected them one by one, leading from all directions to the high places of Jinhong Mountain. In this spirit mountain resort that was full of spiritual energy and peaceful, they cultivated, bravely advancing on the Grand Dao of Cultivation that only belonged to them.
There were no weaklings on Golden Rainbow Mountain. This was an old saying that had been passed down countless years ago. Those who were able to step foot on this Spirit Mountain were at least at the Origin Condensation Realm. As for the disciples of Lingxiao Sect who were ranked among the four righteous cultivators in the world, their Dao Cultivation was almost always much stronger than rogue cultivators of the same realm. Therefore, this sentence had long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
Shen Shi had cultivated on the Qingyu Island at the foot of Golden Rainbow Mountain for five years in his early years. He knew a little about the situation in the sect. In addition, Du Tiejian had roughly explained the situation on Golden Rainbow Mountain to him along the way from the top of the mountain. Therefore, he had some confidence in his heart.
But along the way, At the top of the mountain, Once we reach the middle of Spirit Mountain, With the increase in the number of palaces and pavilions, The number of disciples dressed in the clothes of Ling Xiao Sect disciples instantly increased. The majestic pavilions and palaces were either exposed in front of him, Or stand upright in the distance, Further away, behind the green and vigorous treetops of the ancient woods, More palaces appeared. Countless Ling Xiao Sect disciples came and went on this enormous mountain peak. Needless to say, every single one of them had at least the Origin Condensation Realm, and there were even a few disciples whose divine souls restrained their imposing auras. They were already faintly at the Divine Concept Realm. If they took any of them to the outside of the sect, they would probably be powerful figures for a while.
As they passed by, Shen Shi finally truly saw Du Tiejian’s position in the Ling Xiao Sect. Almost all the Ling Xiao Sect disciples knew him. The greetings were endless, including those Divine Concept disciples who were looking at the profound Dao Cultivation. Du Tiejian looked careless and laughed. He waved his hand casually and walked past him easily.
Of course, there were quite a few people who noticed Shen Shi following Du Tiejian. When they saw that Shen Shi was still at the Qi Refining Realm without much effort, many people’s eyes were filled with surprise. However, perhaps it was because Du Tiejian had enough face to suppress the situation. Surprise was astonishment, but along the way, no one came out to ask.
As for the Little Hei pig following behind Shen Shi, it was also seen by many people. However, almost no one would take a closer look. Raising a demonic beast as a pet was not a particularly rare thing for cultivators. On this Golden Rainbow Mountain, Shen Shi had also seen many people carrying pets with weirder appearances than the Little Hei pig.
Just like that, Du Tiejian brought Shen Shi through the middle of this lively and bustling mountain. He also guided some important entrance buildings outside the hall and brought Shen Shi to the lower part of the mountain, which occupied the largest area and was also where most of the Ling Xiao Sect disciples were resting and living.
The scenery here was similarly beautiful. Looking from a distance from the mountain path, one could see the vast ocean rippling in the distance. Many islands were embedded in the beautiful seawater like pearls. The fresh sea breeze blew towards one’s face, causing one’s heart to open. It was worthy of being worthy of being called the location of the famous sects of Immortal Mountain.
Du Tiejian seemed to know. He led Shen Shi along the mountain path. Walking through the verdant forest, one could see many cave entrances along the way. However, it was clear that Lingxiao Sect valued the privacy of the two nearest caves very much. The distance between any two nearest caves was at least several dozen zhang, which was completely different from the caves that were tightly clung to each other on the Qingyu Island back then. Depending on the topography of the mountain, some caves were either yin or yang, or they went out to see the sea, or they were hidden deep in the forests of the mountain valleys. Some stood on dangerous cliffs, while others sat on flat and gentle slopes.
When they arrived at this gathering place, the surroundings instantly became much cleaner. There were few people around. The ancient trees and green pines sang faintly, the stone doors were tightly shut, and the Immortal Clan’s cave was silent. It was unknown what kind of owner was behind the stone doors of the cave and what kind of story they had with each other.
Du Tiejian said, “The number of disciples in the mountain has already exceeded two thousand. They all have their own caves. The rules on the mountain are different from those on Qingyu Island. I roughly told you about it on the way here.” “Although your situation is different and a little special, it is precisely because of this that it is easier to attract criticism. So, what should you do in the future? Have you thought about it?”
Looking at Du Tiejian turning around, Shen Shi nodded lightly and said calmly, “Thank you, Senior Brother. I think I know what to do.”
Du Tiejian glanced at him and nodded slightly without saying anything else. He took him along another mountain path before arriving at a valley wall and stopping outside a cave. This place was very quiet. There didn’t seem to be many caves in the surroundings. The nearest one was fifty zhang away. Moreover, almost all the caves in the valley were closed with stone doors. The doors were covered with withered branches and leaves. It seemed that very few people lived and cultivated here.
There was only one exception. It was about fifty zhang away from the Shen Shi Cave. Although the stone door was also tightly closed, the path in front of the cave was very clean. As he passed by the cave, Du Tiejian’s footsteps obviously paused for a moment, and his gaze seemed to have inadvertently stared at the stone door for a moment. However, he did not do anything else. He just lightly walked past the quiet cave.
When the two of them arrived outside Shen Shi’s cave residence, they saw a dense forest above the cave residence. There were many ancient trees and vines. They looked lush and verdant. In front of the cave residence was a mountain path, and outside was a hillside. The green grass was like a green grass carpet, slanted downwards. If it was somewhere else, it might be a good cave with a wide view, However, there was a towering mountain standing proudly in front of this mountain wall. It directly blocked all line of sight in front of it, and even sunlight rarely fell. In addition, there was a small stream flowing through the valley below the slope of the cave. The sound of rushing water came from upstream. Turning around, white water splashed everywhere, as if there was a small waterfall hidden behind dense trees, making the surroundings of the cave look extremely cold and humid.
This was clearly not a good cultivation cave. It was cold and quiet. Yin Qi was too strong and even Yang Qi was insufficient. However, when Du Tiejian turned around to look at Shen Shi, Shen Shi did not have any disgust on his face. Instead, he revealed a calm smile and nodded at him.
Du Tie’s swordsman tossed something over. Shen Shi reached out and caught it. He only felt that it looked familiar. A moment later, he remembered, wasn’t this the kind of cloud talisman he had used back then?
Du Tiejian pointed at the stone door of the cave. Shen Shi pondered for a moment before walking over. He recalled the time when he was on the Qingyu Island and gently pressed the Cloud Talisman towards the stone door.
The thick layer of fallen leaves carried a faint aura of corruption unique to the forest in the valley, making a soft sound beneath his feet. A moment later, as the light on the cloud talisman lit up, a deep voice came from behind the stone door. The two stone doors slowly opened, revealing a quiet and silent stone room cave in front of Shen Shi and Du Tiejian.
Du Tiejian brought him inside and said indifferently, “Most of the caves on the mountain are similar in size, but the difference is that the location is different. Generally speaking, a sect disciple will be assigned a cave for a long time, and unless they make great contributions, they will not change the cave again.”
Shen Shi walked into the stone door and quietly looked around. He sized up this stone room that he might live in for an unknown number of years in the future. Compared to the cave in Qingyu Island, the cave in front of him was obviously much bigger. Just the outer room where the entrance was, it was as big as the entire cave on that day.
There were five stone gates ahead, revealing that there was still more space inside.
Du Tiejian smiled and led him forward. At the same time, he explained to him, “Outside, this is a stone room for visiting guests. At the same time, it is also a place for dealing with some miscellaneous matters. There are five stone rooms inside. They are of different sizes and have their own uses. However, you may not be able to use them now.”
As he spoke, he walked to the stone room on the far left and said, “This is your bedroom. You should be living and cultivating here every day.”
At this point, he seemed to have thought of something. He turned to Shen Shi and said, “Although you are still on the mountain, the rules of the sect will not change for you. However, all the rules on the mountain are based on at least the Dao Cultivation Realm of the Origin Condensation Realm. It is probably a bit difficult for you. Therefore, all prerequisites are that you should break through to the Origin Condensation Realm as soon as possible.” After pausing for a moment, his voice seemed to be lowered a little. He said, “Take this cloud talisman and go to the Spirit Medicine Hall of the Pill Hall in the mountains. Someone will give you a spirit pill. When you break through the realm, it might be of some help.”
Shen Shi’s heart skipped a beat. For cultivators, Breaking through the Realm was a top priority, and the value of a spirit pill that could help break through the Realm was self-evident. This favor was truly not small. It was just that it was not known if it was the orders of Sect Leader Huaiyuan or Senior Brother Du’s favor. However, Du Tiejian did not seem to have any intention of explaining it in detail. Shen Shi did not ask any further, but sincerely said, “Thank you Senior Brother.”
Du Tiejian waved his hand and smiled, “It’s nothing. Compared to the other advanced realms, Qi Condensation Realm is the simplest. In fact, some aristocratic families’ disciples also eat it, but the effects are different.” However, if my cultivation level is higher, then those pills are heavenly materials and earth treasures. They are priceless, and even I have never seen them before. “Oh right, I heard that there are quite a few rookies in the Pill Hall. When you go over, you might even meet a few of your old friends. Don’t forget the reasons we agreed to.”
Shen Shi remained silent for a moment, then smiled and nodded. “Senior Brother, don’t worry.”
