Chapter 8: Blocked Upon Returning to the Peak, Qingxuan True Lord’s New Disciple, Ye Chen?

Seven days later, Gu Shengge slowly opened his eyes, his double pupils shimmering with golden and silver light, extraordinarily divine.

His gaze fell upon a majestic mountain gate thousands of miles away, towering like Mount Tai and piercing the clouds.

Engraved on it were the Yin and Yang Wuji, Qiankun Wanfa, and two colossal Qilin Beasts lay dormant, guarding the gate.

“Qiankun Taoist Sect, I’m back…” Gu Shengge murmured.

The Spirit Boat accelerated again, covering a thousand miles in a mere flick of a finger, and flew into the mountain gate.

Inside the mountain gate was another world entirely.

A brilliant sun hung in the azure sky, a hundred thousand miles of picturesque mountains and rivers unfolded, Spiritual Qi was as dense as rain, immortal cranes and spirit birds soared, exotic beasts leaped through the forests, and countless Dragon Qi coiled among the mountains, transforming into True Dragons, encircling the Sect and nurturing all living things.

As a super Sect that governs Qian Heavenly Province and Kun Yuan Province, the Qiankun Taoist Sect has a history of over 36,000 years, and even within the Qiongsang Domain, it ranks among the top ten.

The Sect is exceedingly powerful, at its zenith, with two hundred and seventy-eight Spirit Peaks.

The Revered Masters of these Spirit Peaks are all Nascent Soul True Lords, and the Elders under them are all Golden Core Immortal Masters; some Elders of the Great Peaks are even Nascent Soul True Lords.

The Qiankun Taoist Sect has two Sect Masters, one Yin and one Yang, both of whom are Soul Transformation Celestial Beings.

There are over a hundred thousand Outer Sect Disciples, but only eight or nine thousand Inner Sect Disciples, and Core Disciples are even rarer, numbering less than seven hundred, all of whom are top-tier Prodigies.

The Spirit Boat flew past dozens of Spirit Peaks, attracting the attention of many Disciples.

After all, in the Qiankun Taoist Sect, those qualified to pilot a Spirit Boat are invariably the Peak Revered Masters of various peaks, or Nascent Soul True Lords.

Several Inner Sect Disciples, who had joined earlier and had deeper qualifications, recognized the Spirit Boat and showed expressions of reverence.

A Disciple who had just been promoted to Inner Sect curiously asked, “Senior Brother Chen, do you know the owner of that Spirit Boat?”

“Junior Brother, you’re a newly admitted Inner Sect Disciple, so it’s normal that you don’t know.

The owner of that Spirit Boat is our Qiankun Taoist Sect’s Daozi, Shenxiao True Lord, an unparalleled Prodigy who achieved Nascent Soul at only eighteen years old!”

Senior Brother Chen introduced Gu Shengge to him, his tone filled with admiration and respect.

Upon hearing this, the Junior Brother’s face was filled with shock.

An eighteen-year-old Nascent Soul True Lord, that’s too Heaven-Defying!

Other Disciples who were unaware of Gu Shengge’s power were also stunned after hearing the older Disciple’s introduction.

“Are we sure we’re Cultivating the same immortal Dao? Why is he so abnormal!”

Soon, the news of Gu Shengge’s return to the Sect spread throughout the Qiankun Taoist Sect.

“Saintess! Saintess! Good news, Gu Daozi has returned to the Sect!”

On Saintess Peak, a joyous voice echoed through the Spirit Peak.

Nan Gong Qiyue, who was feigning sleep, heard this and her beautiful eyes suddenly opened.

A look of delight appeared on her exquisite face, and she transformed into a purple stream of light, vanishing from her soft jade bed.

The other Core Disciples and Personal Disciples did not react as strongly as Nan Gong Qiyue upon hearing of Daozi’s return.

They merely paused for a moment, then continued with their own affairs.

A few Core Disciples suddenly thought of something, stopped their Cultivation, and rushed towards Qingxuan Peak together.

At the center of the Sect, thirty-six Great Peaks stood, each tens of thousands of feet high.

Whether in terms of Spiritual Qi density or peak size, they were several times larger than other Spirit Peaks.

Those who governed these Great Peaks were all the cream of the crop among Nascent Soul True Lords, having Cultivated to the Great Perfection stage.

The Spirit Boat stopped before a towering, plain-colored Great Peak that reached into the clouds.

Spiritual Qi, dense as mist, enveloped the Spirit Peak, countless Spirit Beasts and immortal birds abounded, precious medicines and spiritual plants were everywhere.

A plain spiritual light enveloped it, making the Great Peak appear as serene and ethereal as an immortal maiden.

Gu Shengge put the Spirit Boat into his Storage Ring and flew towards Qingxuan Peak.

“Hmm?”

Suddenly, Gu Shengge stopped, his brows slightly furrowed, and a faint hint of confusion flickered in his double pupils.

Before him, a spatial barrier had appeared at some unknown time, blocking him from entering Qingxuan Peak.

Logically speaking, even if Qingxuan Peak activated its protective formation, Gu Shengge, with his Disciple token, should not be isolated outside.

Unless someone had deliberately modified Qingxuan Peak’s protective formation, causing his Disciple token to become ineffective.

Who would be so bold? Who dares to target him!

His home’s lock had been changed, and Gu Shengge felt quite displeased.

His right pupil glowed with a faint silver light, and a surge of spatial power emerged, ready to directly break open the protective formation.

“Who dares to trespass on Qingxuan Peak!”

Suddenly, a scolding voice rang out, and a handsome young man in black robes flew out from Qingxuan Peak.

He looked to be only about twenty years old, but his cultivation was pitifully weak, having just recently reached Foundation Establishment.

Logically speaking, a Disciple who only reached Foundation Establishment at around twenty years old wouldn’t even qualify to enter the Inner Sect, let alone appear on a Great Peak like Qingxuan Peak.

Gu Shengge frowned, his sword-like brows furrowed, and he coldly questioned, “Who are you?”

“Me? I am Qingxuan True Lord’s Disciple, Ye Chen, and who are you?!” Ye Chen retorted.

Upon hearing this, Gu Shengge became even more confused.

Although he didn’t know much about his Revered Master, who Cultivated the Dao of ruthlessness, given the general quality of Disciples on Qingxuan Peak, how could she possibly take a liking to this Ye Chen?

“This Immortal Master Gu Shengge, is also Qingxuan True Lord’s Disciple.”

Unexpectedly, as soon as Gu Shengge finished speaking, Ye Chen seemed to be provoked and roared at him loudly.

“Impossible, Revered Master clearly only has me as her male Disciple!”

Seeing Ye Chen’s extreme reaction, Gu Shengge’s brows furrowed even tighter.

Is this guy really Revered Master’s Disciple? He, himself, is renowned in the Qiankun Taoist Sect; besides those new Disciples who just joined, who doesn’t know that he is a Qingxuan Disciple?

Unless this Ye Chen is not a Qingxuan Peak Disciple, but rather a servant who just entered Qingxuan Peak.

Thinking of this, Gu Shengge found it reasonable; if not a servant, how else could this Ye Chen enter Qingxuan Peak?

Too lazy to waste more words with this Ye Chen, Gu Shengge’s double pupils shimmered with silver light, directly tearing open a spatial rift.

To Ye Chen’s astonishment, a spatial rift also appeared within Qingxuan Peak, and Gu Shengge stepped out from it.

At this moment, two more streaks of spiritual light flew over, landing beside Ye Chen.

They were two beautiful young women.

The woman on the left wore a white dress, with a curvaceous figure, as elegant as a secluded orchid in an empty valley; the woman on the right wore a purple flowing immortal dress, although charming and bright, she was otherwise unremarkable.

They were none other than Qingxuan True Lord’s second Disciple, Su Youwei, and third Disciple, Lin Wan’er, both already in their twenties.

Compared to the weaker-Cultivating Ye Chen, the two women’s Cultivation was considerably higher: one was at the Early Stage Golden Core, and the other at the Late Stage Foundation Establishment, which was still acceptable among Inner Sect Disciples.

“Xiao Chen, what’s wrong? Why did you suddenly crush the jade talisman I gave you? Did you encounter any danger?”

Su Youwei asked Ye Chen with concern, not noticing Gu Shengge.

And in Ye Chen’s left hand, some fragments of the jade talisman still remained.

Lin Wan’er also chimed in, “Junior Brother Chen, don’t worry, tell Senior Sister who bullied you, and I’ll beat him until he’s looking for his teeth all over the ground!”

“Senior Sisters, it’s him! He suddenly broke into Qingxuan Peak, startled me greatly, and even claimed to be Revered Master’s Disciple, even though Revered Master only has me as her male Disciple.

Senior Sisters, quickly kick him out!”

Ye Chen immediately hid behind Su Youwei, pointing at Gu Shengge, who had been ignored by them, and feigning fear, he complained to them.

Su Youwei and Lin Wan’er turned their heads and finally saw Gu Shengge, who had been silently watching Ye Chen’s performance.

They first froze, then their expressions suddenly changed, and panic flashed in their eyes, thinking inwardly, “This is bad.”

“Junior Brother Gu…”

Su Youwei’s greeting was cut short by Gu Shengge.

“You should address this Immortal Master as Shenxiao True Lord, or Daozi.”
