324: Exquisite Sacred Body

After putting away your identity jade token, you headed straight toward one of the Reception Halls.

Actually, this identity jade token was of no use to you, but it was useful for Cultivators below the Nascent Soul stage.

Because a Restriction had been placed over the entire Shenkan Mountain Range that could suppress the power of Nascent Soul Cultivators, one could not enter by force without reaching Soul Transformation.

Using your identity jade token, you successfully passed through the great teleportation formation and arrived at the Fengyun Pavilion high in the firmament.

The place where you appeared was a plaza carved out of a mountain peak, and there was also a Reception Hall on the plaza.

Because task assignments and handovers for Disciples took place within this Reception Hall, people were coming and going at this moment, and everyone was very busy in the hall and on the plaza.

With a single glance, you saw that ninety percent of them were at the Qi Refining stage, ten percent were at the Foundation Establishment stage, and only the Elder inside the Reception Hall was at the Golden Core stage.

You also had a general understanding of the current situation of Fengyun Pavilion—

Almost everything you had previously instructed Qin Yu to do, she had done.

For example, helping you take in some people to be nurtured within the Fengyun Pavilion; the difference was that this time, there were no Personal Disciples of the Pavilion Master.

Aside from you, Qin Yu, and Qing Ming, the strongest were Cheng Rongrong, Xue Miaoyun, Song Yang, and Song Yu, all of whom had reached the Late Golden Core Stage.

Since joining Fengyun Pavilion, these four had spent almost the entire year in closed-door cultivation within their Immortal Caves, so many people didn't even know what they looked like.

Next were over a hundred Golden Core Cultivators; these people generally held important positions, such as rotating Elders of various halls, Elders of various peaks, Peak Masters, Protectors, and so on.

The rest consisted of over ten thousand Foundation Establishment Cultivators and a million Qi Refining Cultivators.

Such strength, if placed in the Immortal Realm, would be comparable to a third-rate power—

After all, you, Qin Yu, and Qing Ming raised the overall level.

In the entire Fengyun Pavilion, the most eye-catching person was none other than Chen Yuanyuan.

Her status was very special, acting like an acting Pavilion Master.

Because you, the Pavilion Master, and the Vice Pavilion Master almost never showed your faces, she handled almost all the affairs of Fengyun Pavilion, large and small.

This time, for convenience, Chen Yuanyuan had taken a spirit awakening pill to awaken a mortal-grade Spiritual Root, but her cultivation was only at the Late Qi Refining stage.

Even this level of cultivation was piled up using a large amount of Heaven And Earth Treasures.

She did this at Qin Yu's request because she had to possess a Spiritual Root to command some of the special powers bestowed upon her by "Qing Ming."

Therefore, although she was only at the Late Qi Refining stage, she seemed to possess some special abilities—comparable to a Nascent Soul.

Of course, this strength was bestowed upon her by "Qing Ming" and was limited to within the Tianhuang World.

This was perhaps what it meant to be a "darling of the Heavenly Dao"!

Looking at the atmosphere of Fengyun Pavilion, your heart surged with emotion, and at the same time, you felt a heavy responsibility.

In the midst of it all, a faint trace of an Epiphany flashed through your mind, but it was like sand slipping through your fingers, vanishing before you could grasp it.

You really hated this feeling—

It was like strange knowledge elegantly sliding through your brain without leaving a trace.

You knew you had missed out on a massive Opportunity.

Feeling a bit frustrated, you pulled Qin Han out of the ring and lightly patted his bottom.

Qin Han pouted: "Dad, are you unhappy again?"

He seemed to be able to sense your emotional fluctuations.

Seeing his Clumsy appearance, your mood immediately improved quite a bit. You promptly placed him on your shoulder and walked into the Reception Hall.

On one side of the hall, a deep black wall ten zhang wide and twenty zhang high was covered with tiny, densely packed characters.

As your gaze swept over it, they turned out to be the immortal regulations of Fengyun Pavilion.

Fengyun Pavilion immortal regulations:

Those who commit minor violations of the precepts shall be confined to the Secluded Pavilion to reflect on their mistakes.

Those who violate the moral principles shall have their cultivation stripped and be permanently expelled from the Sect.

Those who commit heinous crimes shall be bound and taken to the Immortal Execution Platform to face Heavenly Punishment by the sword, resulting in the total silence of their Divine Soul.

Below that, thousands of detailed rules were listed, clearly defined in every aspect—

Rule 1: No Disciple of the Pavilion shall harm the life of a fellow member for any reason. Violators will be punished with anything from ten years of reflection to the stripping of their cultivation, depending on the severity.

Rule 2: Without permission, no one shall leak Fengyun Pavilion's Cultivation Techniques, Pill Formulas, array diagrams, etc. Violators will have what they shared reclaimed, be expelled from the Sect, and held accountable for related responsibilities.

Rule 3: Any betrayal of Fengyun Pavilion, once verified, will result in being immediately bound to the Immortal Execution Platform to face execution by Heavenly Punishment, with both body and soul being extinguished.

Rule 4: Without holding a command or mission from the Pavilion, it is strictly forbidden to interfere in the political affairs, conquests, or Legacies of secular Dynasties in the capacity of a Cultivator. Minor offenders will face reflection and confiscation of resources; serious offenders will have their cultivation stripped and be permanently expelled from the Pavilion.

You glanced slightly to the side as a figure silently walked up behind you.

The newcomer's face was covered with a veil that was a Magical Artifact, and her aura was gentle and restrained. She whispered respectfully, "Pavilion Master, you have finally returned."

The person was none other than Protector Qiao.

She knew your location through your identity jade token and had rushed over immediately—

Every Disciple's identity jade token had such a tracking function, and you were aware of this.

Not only that,

This identity jade token also contained a defensive Restriction and an emergency rescue Restriction—

For instance, if one suffered a fatal attack, a defense could be triggered.

Or, for example, crushing the identity jade token would teleport one back to Fengyun Pavilion, just like an light evasion talisman.

You raised your hand and pointed at the wall of regulations, asking, "These... were they all drafted by Chen Yuanyuan?"

"Yes," Protector Qiao replied softly, "every single rule came from her hand."

"She does not yet know your true identity. Does your subordinate need to summon her to pay her respects?"

"No need," you said calmly. "She has done very well; do not disturb her. Just arrange a quiet Immortal Cave for me. I wish to enter closed-door cultivation in peace for the next few days."

Protector Qiao complied, "Yes. There is one more thing..."

"The Vice Pavilion Master once mentioned that there are four Disciples whom you personally named to be taken as Personal Disciples back then. Because you have been away for so long, they are still only Core Disciples."

"However, all resources have been distributed according to the specifications of Personal Disciples."

She paused for a moment and asked, "Does your subordinate need to arrange for them to come and pay their respects?"

"No need for now," you replied directly.

After a brief hesitation, you reached out and took out seven qiankun rings, handing them to Protector Qiao.

"There are seven portions of resources here. You, Chen Yuanyuan, Ye Wuhen, and the four including Cheng Rongrong should each take one."

Protector Qiao was startled upon hearing this and did not immediately take them. She said in a low voice, "Your subordinate has been nurtured by the Sect for many years but has not yet achieved any merit. This is truly..."

"Take them," you interrupted her. "These things are no longer of much use to me. They are just some Heaven And Earth Treasures, which should be beneficial to your cultivation."

"And... I had intended to leave them for you all anyway."

You pointed to one of the qiankun rings again: "Give this ring containing the void flower and great void illusion grass to Cheng Rongrong."

"I have heard that she possesses the Exquisite Saint Physique and specializes in the Divine Soul and illusions... This void flower and great void illusion grass are perfect for her."

Only then did Protector Qiao respectfully accept them, sweeping her Divine Sense inside—

Her body suddenly shuddered, and her breathing became a bit ragged.

"Pa... Pavilion Master... this... this is too..."

Her voice trembled, and for a moment, she couldn't even finish her sentence.

Although she was currently only at the Golden Core stage and didn't recognize most of these Heaven And Earth Treasures, she knew just from the majestic Dao rhythms and the soul-stirring spiritual aura flowing within them that none of them were ordinary.
