Chapter 1027: Chapter 1025: The Saint! Yejian Jun!

Fifth Peak.

The spirit boat landed on a plaza.

At that moment, Lin Bai walked to the edge of the plaza, lifted his head, and gazed into the distance. Before him lay a vast world, containing collapsed buildings, towering dense forests, mountains soaring into the clouds, and winding rivers.

At the end of this world, before the Five Peaks, stood thirty-six high mountain peaks and twelve Demon Mansions, with countless demon beasts lurking in the woods! That was the Demon Clan’s territory.

In other words, the Five Peaks of the Miracle Ridge and the territory of the Demon Clan were facing each other across the entire Chi Xianzong ruins!

"Let’s go, Junior Brother Lin Bai," Jiang Jun called out upon seeing Lin Bai gazing at the Chi Xianzong ruins in the distance. "There will be plenty of time for you to explore the Chi Xianzong ruins in the future."

Lin Bai snapped out of his reverie and followed Jiang Jun into a majestic palace in the plaza.

The palace was empty.

There was only an old man, fast asleep with his head on a table.

Jiang Jun chuckled as he approached and shouted, "Elder Brother Tan."

"Hmm?" The old man woke up, rubbed his eyes, and looked at Jiang Jun.

"Haha, Elder Brother Tan," Jiang Jun said with a light smile, "I’ve brought the junior brothers and sisters from the Sword Art Academy to process the Five Peaks paperwork and collect some related materials for the Five Peaks."

Elder Brother Tan glanced at Lin Bai and the others and snorted with a chuckle, "Only five people?"

"The Sword Art Academy is really going downhill."

"At this rate, without fresh blood, the Five Peaks might be completely wiped out by the Demon Clan even before the disaster strikes."

"Those demon beasts from the Thirty-six Demon Mountains and the Twelve Demon Mansions are extremely ferocious."

"I heard that yesterday, more than a hundred warriors were killed by a Great Demon from the Thirty-six Demon Mountains in the Seven Stars ruins!"

"Not a single one of those who went to the Seven Stars ruins made it back alive."

Elder Brother Tan muttered on.

"The Seven Stars ruins, is it the recently discovered Seven Stars ruins? The one that’s said to be a cave mansion of an alchemist from the Chi Xianzong?" Upon hearing this, Jiang Jun’s expression became solemn.

Lin Bai, Yejian Qiu, Jian Ruohan, Longqing Feng, and Hua Yuxian, although they did not understand what was being said,

they felt that this Seven Stars ruins seemed to be very precious.

Elder Brother Tan nodded lightly and said, "Yes, it’s that recently discovered Seven Stars ruins. It’s been confirmed that it’s a cave mansion of an alchemist from the Chi Xianzong, and it hasn’t been explored by anyone yet, with lots of precious Elixir Pills still inside!"

"Now, Battle Peak has already called upon strong ones to head for the Seven Stars ruins, and it’s said that even seven top-notch experts from the Thirty-six Demon Mountains have arrived - even the Demon Clan’s top dogs from the Heavenly Elixir Realm have a hand in it!"

"The place has turned into a bloody battlefield."

"It seems that the situation is far from optimistic, even Battle Peak has started to intervene," Jiang Jun said with a somber expression.

Elder Brother Tan shook his head slightly and said to Lin Bai and the others, "Take out your identity tokens, and I’ll enhance them for you."

Jiang Jun looked at Lin Bai and the others.

One by one, Lin Bai and his companions stepped forward and handed their identity tokens to Elder Brother Tan.

After Elder Brother Tan made some changes to the tokens, he handed them back to Lin Bai.

Lin Bai checked his token and saw that before the words "Disciple of the Sword Art Academy," a few extra words had been added: "Martial Arts Alliance of the Miracle Ridge."

Once Elder Brother Tan had also enhanced the tokens for Jian Ruohan and the others, he took out five books from his storage bag and passed them to Lin Bai and the rest, "This book is called ’Five Peaks Chronicles.’ It contains introductions to the Five Peaks and the Chi Xianzong. Take it back and read it carefully."

At the same time, Elder Brother Tan took out a map from his storage bag and spread it out before Lin Bai and the others.

"On this map, any place marked in white is uninhabited, and you may choose any of them to settle down in."

"Places marked in red are inhabited by warriors and are temporarily not available for selection."

"After you’ve made your choice, tell me, and I’ll give you a token for your residence."

Elder Brother Tan spoke again.

Right then and there, Lin Bai and the others began to make their choice one by one.

Lin Bai was surprised to find that this map only allowed one to choose from the Third Peak, Fourth Peak, and Fifth Peak as places of residence.

The First Peak and Second Peak were areas that were not available for selection.

"Why can’t the First Peak and Second Peak be chosen?" Lin Bai asked, somewhat puzzled.

Not only Lin Bai had this question, Jian Ruohan and Yejian Qiu also shared the same doubt.

Jiang Jun explained with a smile, "The First Peak is where the high-level executives and Saints of the Five Peaks reside, while the Second Peak is also known as the Battle Peak, which is not open to the public, so ordinary disciples can only live on the Third, Fourth, and Fifth Peaks."

"Including myself, I only reside on the Fifth Peak."

"Saint? Spiritual Child?" Upon hearing Jiang Jun’s words, Lin Bai quickly asked, "Elder Brother Jiang Jun, do you know how one can become a Saint of the Five Peaks of the Miracle Ridge?"

Jiang Jun asked with a curious look, "Why do you ask that?"

Lin Bai replied with a smile, "I want to become a Saint of the Five Peaks."

"Hmph, the disciples nowadays are really getting out of hand. They’ve just arrived at the Five Peaks and already wish to become Saints. Alas, it seems the Five Peaks are truly heading towards their end," Elder Brother Tan scoffed disdainfully as soon as he heard this.

"Junior Brother Lin Bai, you’ve just stepped foot into the Five Peaks. It’s impossible for you to become a Saint in a short time!"

"The Five Pinnacle Saint is the strongest among all the Warriors of the Five Peaks."

"To become a Saint, you must earn the recognition of all the disciples of the Five Peaks, and even become the strongest Warrior after the three Sect Leader Supremes in order to claim the title of Saint."

"The Saint also has another title, he is known as the fourth Sect Leader Supreme!"

"Now you understand how far you are from being a Saint," Jiang Jun said indifferently.

Upon hearing this, Lin Bai’s expression turned sour.

So becoming a Saint of the Five Peaks is this hard!

The Five Pinnacle Saint must be the strongest disciple among the Five Peaks.

In other words, the Five Pinnacle Saint is the strongest Warrior below the three Sect Leader Supremes.

Moreover, the Five Pinnacle Saint is also designated as the fourth Sect Leader Supreme of the Five Peaks of the Miracle Ridge!

Reaching this step is surely not an easy task for Lin Bai at this moment.

"To become the strongest Warrior below the three Sect Leader Supremes, I would need to have a Cultivation at least above the seventh level of the Heavenly Elixir Realm..." Lin Bai’s Eyes narrowed as he pondered silently.

With Lin Bai’s fighting ability, once he reached the seventh level of the Heavenly Elixir Realm, he had enough confidence to defeat Warriors at the Great Perfection of the Heavenly Elixir Realm and become the strongest below the Flying Sky Realm!

"What is a Spiritual Child?" Jian Ruohan now asked, curious.

Jiang Jun replied with a smile, "Spiritual Children are selected from those in the Earth Elixir Realm!"

"Every year, the Five Peaks hold a Martial Arts Competition, inviting all the Warriors of the Earth Elixir Realm to participate!"

"They choose the strongest Earth Elixir Realm Warrior and confer the title of Spiritual Child upon them!"

"In other words, if a Warrior can become a Spiritual Child, then he is definitely the strongest Warrior within the Earth Elixir Realm, with boundless potential, even possibly having the chance to become a Saint!"

"Moreover, every Saint has emerged from among the Spiritual Children. So, the Spiritual Child is also known as the ladder to becoming a Saint!"

"Every time there is a change of Saint, it is almost always one of the Spiritual Children who ascends to the position!"

"For example, Elder Brother Yejian Jun. Five years ago, he was a Spiritual Child, but in the Saint Battle five years ago, he defeated the Saint and became the Five Pinnacle Saint!"

"Saint! Yejian Jun!" Lin Bai muttered this name softly.

Meanwhile, Yejian Qiu, who was standing beside Lin Bai, upon hearing this name, a subtle and nearly imperceptible smile flashed across his lips, a strange smile...
