238: Chapter 238 The Ninth Main Peak

Watching this scene, Liu Yuanzong became even more certain—this person was definitely not an ordinary Loose Cultivator.

Because the other party was too calm, terrifyingly calm!

However, he did not point it out, merely smiling slightly as he said, "Elder Cangxuan, please follow me. I will arrange a place for you to stay."

"Thank you, Sect Master."

Daoist Master Cangxuan cupped his hands in salute and followed Liu Yuanzong, directly tearing through the Void Realm to depart.

Back at the original location, everyone exchanged glances, all seeing expressions of relief in each other's eyes.

"Damn! They're finally gone..."

"Yeah... that Senior's aura was just too strong, I almost couldn't breathe."

"You're telling me? My legs went soft."

"Alright, alright, stop talking, let's continue the assessment."

At this moment, Daoist Master Cangxuan had already followed Liu Yuanzong to a mountain Peak deep within the Tianyuan Sect.

The Peak was not large, but it was fully equipped. Besides a few ordinary palaces, there was also an independent small courtyard.

In the courtyard were planted a few stalks of spiritual bamboo, and a small stream flowed through the bamboo forest. The water was crystal clear, and occasionally a few spiritual fish would leap out of the surface.

"Elder Cangxuan, this is the Chilian Peak of our Tianyuan Sect! Elder Cangxuan can stay here for the time being! If you have any needs, you can contact me, the Sect Master, at any time. As long as it is reasonable, I can satisfy all of Elder Cangxuan's requests!"

Daoist Master Cangxuan looked at everything around him. He was completely dumbfounded.

He couldn't help it. Because in his perception, he discovered that there wasn't a single person on the entire mountain Peak! No Disciples. No servants. Not even a gatekeeper.

The mountain wind blew, making the bamboo forest rustle, giving a feeling of extreme desolation, extreme bleakness, and a very "I've been exiled" kind of vibe.

Daoist Master Cangxuan's expression turned dark instantly.

What the hell is the meaning of this? I am a dignified expert at the Peak of the Unity Realm, having voluntarily come to your Tianyuan Sect to be an inner Sect Elder, and you give me a barren mountain? Not even a single person in sight? Are you looking down on me? Or is this how your Tianyuan Sect treats its guests?

The more Daoist Master Cangxuan thought about it, the angrier he became, and his face grew darker. He turned around to look at Liu Yuanzong, his eyes clearly saying—Sect Master, are you playing with me?

Seeing Daoist Master Cangxuan's expression, Liu Yuanzong was stunned at first, then quickly realized what was happening and hurriedly began to explain.

"Elder Cangxuan, please don't misunderstand! Please don't misunderstand!" He waved his hands, a slightly awkward smile appearing on his face.

"I was a bit rushed just now, and I haven't had a chance to explain the history of this mountain Peak to you yet."

Daoist Master Cangxuan did not speak, merely looking at him, the expression clearly saying—Go ahead, speak, I'm listening, let's see how you make this up.

Liu Yuanzong cleared his throat and began to recount the history of the mountain Peak.

"Elder Cangxuan, you are unaware. This Chilian Peak is not just some broken mountain; it is one of the nine main Peaks of our Tianyuan Sect!"

"Furthermore, over three hundred thousand years ago, it was the strongest Peak among the nine main Peaks!"

"Back in the day, Chilian Peak had thousands of Disciples, dozens of Elders, and even more than one Old Ancestor at the Domain Realm. Its prestige was unparalleled, even my own Taixu Peak had to bow to it."

Hearing this, Daoist Master Cangxuan's expression improved slightly. The strongest Peak? It seems it has some interest after all.

"However—" At this point, Liu Yuanzong suddenly changed his tone and sighed.

"Over three hundred thousand years ago, the Peak Master of Chilian Peak suddenly went missing during an outing to gain experience."

"Missing?" Daoist Master Cangxuan raised an eyebrow.

"Yes, missing." Liu Yuanzong nodded very seriously.

"That Peak Master had heaven-defying cultivation, with strength already reaching the Late Stage of the Domain Realm, even a cut above me."

"When he went missing, because it happened so suddenly, not only did he fail to choose a successor, he also took away all of Chilian Peak's Legacy—"

"This included Cultivation Techniques, Divine Abilities, Medicinal Pills, and Magic Treasures, and he even took away all the classics from their Scripture Pavilion at Chilian Peak."

Upon hearing this, the corners of Daoist Master Cangxuan's mouth couldn't help but twitch.

"He took it all?" "He took it all!!" Liu Yuanzong's face was filled with helplessness.

"That Peak Master had a habit of liking to carry important things with him, saying that he 'only felt at ease when they were on his person.'"

"As a result, with his disappearance, the Legacy of Chilian Peak was completely severed."

"Without Cultivation Techniques and resources, the Disciples left one after another, and the Elders scattered to the winds. In just twenty thousand years, Chilian Peak became the way you see it now."

Daoist Master Cangxuan fell silent after hearing this. He hadn't expected that this inconspicuous mountain Peak had actually once been glorious.

"So, for over three hundred thousand years, Chilian Peak has been like this?"

Liu Yuanzong nodded, then continued to speak.

"During this time, a few Elders were assigned here, but none of them stayed long."

"Some for a few years, others for a few decades, before applying to transfer away. After all, without a Legacy, without Disciples, staying alone on this mountain is no different from being in prison."

After finishing, he paused for a moment, then added.

"However, the Sect has always sent people to clean it regularly, so although it is desolate, it is not dilapidated."

"Look at that palace; although it's a bit old, it's still clean. And that courtyard, it can be used with just a little tidying up."

"And the spiritual fish in that small stream, I specifically had people put them there just to add a bit of Life Qi to this place."

Daoist Master Cangxuan glanced at the few lonely spiritual fish in the small stream, but couldn't help but retort inwardly.

With just these few fish, you have the nerve to call it "adding Life Qi"? Does your Tianyuan Sect have some misunderstanding of the word "Life Qi"?

"Elder Cangxuan, if you are not satisfied with this place, I can change the mountain Peak for you. Among the nine main Peaks of our Tianyuan Sect, you can go anywhere you like..."

"That will not be necessary." Daoist Master Cangxuan hurriedly waved his hand, interrupting his words.

He lifted his head. Looking at this somewhat desolate mountain Peak, looking at the slightly dilapidated palace, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes.

"I will stay here."

Liu Yuanzong was stunned. "Elder Cangxuan, are you sure?"

"Sure!!" Daoist Master Cangxuan nodded, then said with a serious face.

"I like this mountain Peak very much."

Liu Yuanzong looked at him, feeling somewhat puzzled in his heart. He was looking displeased just a moment ago, and now he likes it in the blink of an eye? This face-changing is too fast, isn't it?

"Since Elder Cangxuan likes it, I won't say anything more. If you have any needs in the future, just feel free to speak to me, the Sect Master."

"As long as it is within a reasonable range, I, the Sect Master, will definitely not refuse!!"

"Then many thanks, Sect Master."

"Elder Cangxuan is too polite. I won't disturb you further. If you have anything, you can come to Taixu Peak to find me, the Sect Master!"

After Liu Yuanzong finished speaking, he directly turned and tore through the Void Realm, disappearing from the spot.

Daoist Master Cangxuan stood on the Peak, standing with his hands behind his back, looking at the desolate mountain Peak before him. He couldn't help but mutter a few words under his breath.

"Chilian Peak... the name is quite good!"

"Before leaving this world, this will be my place of rest!"

[Should I take this opportunity to develop this mountain Peak a little bit?]
