Chapter 191: Chapter 191: Shura Peak

After looking around for a while, Lin Yi quickly discerned a pattern, nearly every mountain peak was home to an expert from the Heavenly Ranking serving as the Peak Master.

The duty of the Peak Masters was to guide the other disciples in their cultivation.

The disciples belonging to a mountain peak had to follow the commands of their Peak Master.

"The Heavenly Ranking," akin to the "Hidden Dragon List," was targeted at the young generation from various countries in the Eastern Domain, while the Heavenly Ranking was intended for the disciples of the East Domain Five Great Forces!

It held greater prestige and commanded stronger powers!

It was incomparable to the Hidden Dragon List.

However, Lin Yi felt that something was off about this rule.

In this way, weren’t the Peak Masters effectively rulers of their own mountains, free to exploit their subordinates at will?

"Elder Bai," are there any vacant mountain peaks available? Even a small one would do."

Lin Yi turned to Elder Bai beside him.

He wasn’t used to working for others.

"No."

Elder Bai shook his head, "Even if there were, it wouldn’t be given to a new disciple like you."

Elder Bai was succinct and clear, making it obvious that all Holy Mansion Disciples must go through this process, no exceptions.

"Don’t worry, generally speaking, every Peak Master will ingratiate themselves with their disciples, because the stronger the overall strength of the mountain, the more beneficial it is for the Peak Master."

"How much resources a mountain peak receives doesn’t depend on the personal strength of the Peak Master, but on the overall strength."

Lin Yi nodded; this meant that maybe the Peak Masters would be somewhat restrained and not too brazen in exploiting their subordinates.

"If one can defeat a Peak Master, is it possible to take over their position?"

Lin Yi stroked his chin and asked.

"Ha-ha, of course it’s possible, but even if you are the top talent of ten thousand countries, defeating a Peak Master listed on the Heavenly Ranking is no easy feat."

Elder Bai chuckled, "Moreover, there’s no need for you to come in and immediately try to defeat a Peak Master. Don’t you think it’s also good to first follow and train under a powerful Peak Master?"

These words were undoubtedly a reminder to Lin Yi that he was indeed being too eager. This was the Holy Mansion Main Courtyard, a place teeming with experts. It was better to keep a low profile temporarily.

First, he needed to secure his footing, then slowly investigate Master Wu Liang’s affairs.

Having made up his mind, Lin Yi began to pick from the mountains with higher rankings.

Soon, his gaze settled on a mountain peak with only five disciples.

This mountain was known as Shura Peak, with its Peak Master ranked sixth on the Heavenly Ranking, named Lou Tingyu.

Only five people, yet holding such a high ranking indicated that each one of them was strong, each a true elite. This was precisely the kind of place that suited him.

"You want to choose Shura Peak?"

A look of surprise crossed Elder Bai’s face.

"What’s the issue with Shura Peak?" Lin Yi asked.

"There’s no problem, it’s just that Shura Peak has rather stringent conditions for selecting people. I’m afraid you might not make the cut," Elder Bai explained, "and if you fail to join, you might suffer a severe setback."

Hearing this, faces of the other new disciples all showed incredulous expressions; if Lin Yi, the top talent of ten thousand countries, couldn’t get into Shura Peak, then they might as well not even dream about it.

Qianfeng Mountain.

Mountains stood tall and upright like a series of sharp swords reaching for the sky, emitting an extremely precipitous momentum.

In their midst was a particularly steep black mountain peak, the famous Shura Peak.

A group of Holy Mansion’s new disciples arrived near Shura Peak, riding on a flying demon beast.

"Lin Yi, I wish you good luck."

Lu Li and the others all clasped their fists towards Lin Yi, seemingly with the sentiment of a warrior who might not return.

However, Lin Yi merely nodded slightly, then leapt straight down from the back of the flying demon beast.

Watching Lin Yi’s figure, Lu Li and the rest couldn’t help but sigh. It was only someone as talented and brave as Lin Yi who would dare choose Shura Peak for his cultivation. They, with neither the strength nor the courage, had to honestly pick some beginner-friendly mountains as a starting point – that was the real way to go.

By this time, Lin Yi’s body had already landed on Shura Peak. Before him was a dense expanse of bamboo forest, arranged in an orderly fashion; it was clearly an array.

"Do I need to break through this piece of bamboo forest to join Shura Peak?"

Such an array of bamboo forest blocking the way certainly wasn’t just for show.

Without any hesitation, Lin Yi plunged directly into the Array of the bamboo forest.

Indeed, the moment Lin Yi entered the bamboo forest, it began to writhe rapidly, trapping him inside.

"An ignorant newbie dares to come to our Shura Peak; truly, the calf doesn’t fear the tiger."

"There are always such fools every year. In the end, they leave disheveled, unable to pass even the first challenge, forced to give up obediently."

"It’s said that this newbie is different this time, the champion of the Talent Battle of Ten Thousand Countries, who once defeated the top talent of the Hidden Dragon List."

"The Hidden Dragon List? That’s a joke in our eyes, hardly worth mentioning."

"..."

On Shura Peak, several figures appeared, watching Lin Yi enter the bamboo forest and starting to whisper amongst themselves.

"But I’ve heard that this time in the Talent Battle of Ten Thousand Countries, there was interference from the Blood God Sect’s Holy Daughter Shangguan Xin Yan,"

Just then, dressed in purple robes and wearing an Asura Mask, Peak Master Lou Tingyu of Shura Peak suddenly appeared above these shadowy figures and said coldly, "And the one who led Shangguan Xin Yan, that demoness, to a fiasco, is this very lad..."

"Impossible, right?"

A newbie making the Blood God Sect’s Saintess suffer? What an exaggeration!

The four experts from Shura Peak simply couldn’t believe it. Just how powerful was Shangguan Xin Yan? Even for someone like Peak Master Lou Tingyu of Shura Peak, a top expert ranked sixth on the Heavenly Ranking, facing the Blood God Sect’s Saintess might not be certain.

"He must have relied on external forces, but the person himself should have some merit as well."

Lou Tingyu spoke indifferently.

Hearing this, the faces of the four men also showed a slight change. If there were external forces involved, it indeed seemed somewhat possible.

But for these members of Shura Peak to admit that a newbie was remarkable was not that easy.

"He has already passed the array."

Just then, Lou Tingyu’s voice rang out again.

"What?"

The four immediately looked toward the Bamboo Forest Array and saw that, unbeknownst to them, Lin Yi had already walked out of the bamboo forest and was now heading step by step towards where they were.

Their Shura Peak’s Mysterious Array that had turned away countless newbies, had been so easily broken?

It had only been a few minutes, hadn’t it?

"I timed it; it was about one minute."

The tall man among the four swallowed hard.

The other three exchanged glances. Back when they first faced it, the quickest of them took a whole two hours, and even then, they still came out of the array with blurred vision.
