Chapter 1456: Chapter 1415 Joining the Sect

The sound of the bell instantly echoed within the Penglai Immortal Sect, and everyone on every peak heard this sound. Some were baffled, not understanding why the bell was struck.

However, the Law Transmission Elders, who were truly aware of the matter, had their eyes light up and suddenly vanished from where they stood, hurrying towards the mountain gate!

“It succeeded…”

Lu Chuan let out a long breath, the pressure on his shoulders suddenly vanished, and he felt a sense of relief. His steps wavered slightly, almost falling backward. It was Shadow who quickly steadied Lu Chuan’s shoulder, with a rare trace of excitement in his voice, he smiled and said, “Congratulations, you are the only one in a thousand years to ascend this hundred-step staircase with a Golden Core First Layer cultivation, the only one.”

Although the records of the Penglai Immortal Domain are not lacking in geniuses comparable to ‘Qin Tao’, most are already too distant in time, even tracing back a millennium, and in this millennium, he is the only one.

Upon hearing this, ‘Qin Tao’ suddenly laughed.

“It sounds like I’m not too bad?”

“Quite outstanding, indeed. Look, quite a few people have come.”

As Shadow finished speaking, four Law Transmission Elders arrived in succession.

“Who struck the bell? Who finished the hundred-step staircase?”

“Elder Mu, he is the outer sect menial worker who completed the hundred-step staircase.”

“Are you… Shadow? How come you’re here?”

“It’s the lady’s order, but that’s not important, what’s important is him, Qin Tao.”

Shadow patted ‘Qin Tao’s shoulder and said with a laugh, “To complete the hundred-step staircase with a Golden Core First Layer cultivation under the gaze of all, he might be the only one in a thousand years. Elder Mu, are you thinking of taking on a disciple?”

“Hahaha, I knew I couldn’t hide it from you. Indeed, I haven’t taken on a disciple for a long time. Now that such a genius has appeared, taking him as a last disciple would be wonderful.”

As he spoke, Mu Changchen slowly walked to Lu Chuan, giving him a once-over, clearly very pleased with Lu Chuan.

“Qin Tao… right? Would you be willing to become my disciple and inherit my teachings?”

“Elder Mu is asking you, why aren’t you answering? You should know that Elder Mu is a mighty strong Nascent Soul Nine Layers practitioner, already preparing to break through to the Spirit Splitting Realm. If you can become a last disciple of someone in the Spirit Splitting Realm, there are numerous benefits for you.”

“Are the cultivation resources sufficient?”

Hearing this, Mu Changchen was momentarily stunned, then laughed loudly and nodded, saying, “Of course, Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, Spirit Pills, Spirit Stones, and cultivation techniques are yours to use and learn as you wish.”

“Then I agree.”

“You’re quite straightforward, alright, I’ll first take you to handle your identity token, and then you’ll follow me back to Sky-Reaching Peak.”

“Wait, I have one more condition.”

“Being able to enter Elder Mu’s tutelage is something many can only dream of, and you still have conditions?”

“I’m not entering your tutelage, so what’s it to you?”

Lu Chuan coldly glanced at the Law Transmission Elders behind Mu Changchen and said in a low voice, “I have grown used to being lazy in the outer sect and don’t like to be ordered around. Except for cultivation-related matters, you cannot force me.”

“No problem, I agree.”

“Elder Mu, you’re being too indulgent with just any outer sect menial worker, to even agree to such a condition?”

“Why not? The first in a thousand years should be given some privileges, shouldn’t he?”

“It’s just a tall man among dwarfs.”

Completing the hundred-step staircase is impressive, but many in the Immortal Sect can do it too. In truth, this Qin Tao is only exceptional compared to the bunch of outer sect wastes.”

“No need for your concern. Qin Tao had it right, he’s not entering your tutelage, why are you worrying?”

Mu Changchen merely glanced at his colleagues, then handed Lu Chuan a ring, saying in a low voice, “With this ring, you can freely enter and exit Sky-Reaching Peak. My lineage is not bound by many formalities, as long as you fulfill my requirements, you can do as you wish, does this sound good?”

“No problem.”

“Then come with me.”

With these words, Mu Changchen casually waved his hand, summoning a cloud from the sky and, with Lu Chuan, stepped onto it and left.

Of course, given that Lu Chuan wanted to, he could achieve the same easily; it was merely a display.

Flying all the way to Sky-Reaching Peak, Mu Changchen introduced Lu Chuan to the things on the peak, which were mostly useless chatter and not worth noting, so Lu Chuan perfunctorily went along.

After handling the identity of the sect disciples, Mu Changchen allowed Lu Chuan to wander around Sky-Reaching Peak to get familiar with the environment.

According to Mu Changchen, cultivation shouldn’t be rushed. Having just passed the trial, Lu Chuan suffered some internal injuries that needed careful nurturing to avoid future problems. He even left a few elixir pills for Lu Chuan, although not high in quality, they were indeed good for healing internal injuries.

Unlike others in the Penglai Immortal Domain, this old man left a good impression on Lu Chuan. He wasn’t as conceited as others and had a relatively easygoing personality. Even when Lu Chuan deliberately pushed boundaries with harsh words, the old man merely laughed and waved it off.

This was quite normal; after all, there are good and bad people everywhere; without good people, who can highlight the evil of the bad ones?

Mu Changchen was unmistakably one of those good people.

Though the name Sky-Reaching Peak sounds grand, the mountain itself is not large, only about two thousand meters high, and it seemed only Lu Chuan and Mu Changchen were on the entire mountain.

Lu Chuan heard upon arrival that Mu Changchen was nearing the end of his life and had not taken on disciples for many years.

If he could break through to the Spirit Splitting Realm, his lifespan would more than double, and his influence would naturally rise. But if not, as a dying old man, he would not want his teachings to dwindle away; passing them to Lu Chuan also counted as a stroke of fate.

Mu Changchen’s unworldly nature ironically made Lu Chuan feel a bit guilty.

After all, the reason he joined the Immortal Sect was to get closer to Kong Zhaozhao and extract more clues from her, naturally using all the resources at his disposal.

Yet the old man’s character made it hard for Lu Chuan to bring himself to hurt him.

“Oh well, I’ll take it one step at a time.”

…

Meanwhile, on Little Frost Peak!

Kong Zhaozhao nodded slightly, speaking gently, “I understand, you may withdraw, Shadow. Also, there’s no need for you to stand guard on Little Frost Peak at night any longer.”

“Yes, Miss. Additionally, there’s one more thing: although Qin Tao’s identity has been clarified, his purpose for appearing on Little Frost Peak that day remains unclear. I hope you will be cautious when interacting with this person.”

“Rest assured, I have my own judgment on this matter, you may leave now, I wish to rest.”
