Chapter 735: Chapter 735: Mu Xiantian

On "Spirit Crane Mountain", the three peaks are ranked by altitude: "Spirit Crane Peak" being the highest, "Flying Dragon Peak" second, and "Wolong Peak" being the lowest.

According to Wu Caiyun, the ordinary disciples of the "Spirit Crane Sect" refer to Martial Artists below the Earth Level Realm, and they all reside on "Wolong Peak".

Once an ordinary disciple’s cultivation level reaches the Earth Level Realm, he or she can move to live on Flying Dragon Peak and is automatically promoted to core disciple, personally taught by the Sect Master and the four Great Elders.

The direct disciples living on "Flying Dragon Peak", if their cultivation level can reach Earth Level Perfection, can likewise move to live on the main peak, "Spirit Crane Peak", and will also have a seat among the elders.

It can be said that the three peaks of "Spirit Crane Mountain" symbolize the strength and status of the disciples in the "Spirit Crane Sect", with both ordinary and core disciples taking pride in residing on the higher peaks.

However, the Martial Dao path is difficult to cultivate, and ascending is easier said than done. Some ordinary disciples may spend their entire lives living on "Wolong Peak", and some core disciples can only long for "Spirit Crane Peak" with a sigh.

Wu Caiyun and Zhao Yuhe were both of exceptional talent, having reached the Earth Level Realm in their twenties, thus they were able to live on "Flying Dragon Peak". However, both women were ambitious and hoped to advance to the Heaven Level Realm and become Heaven Level Martial Artists during their lifetimes.

The Sect Master of "Spirit Crane Sect", Mu Xiantian, lived in the main hall at the summit of "Spirit Crane Peak".

On the mountain path leading to "Spirit Crane Peak", four Disciples at the Profound Level Perfection of the "Spirit Crane Sect" stood guard. Seeing Wu Caiyun and Zhao Yuhe approaching, two of the Profound Level disciples hurried up to greet them, respectfully saying, "Sister Wu, Sister Zhao, what brings you here?"

Looking behind Wu Caiyun and Zhao Yuhe at Fang Bai and Long Jingtian, dressed as commoners, they couldn’t help but show surprise.

Wu Caiyun, worried that the two junior brothers in front of her might not recognize importance and say something disrespectful, that could displease Fang Bai and Long Jingtian, quickly said to the "Spirit Crane Sect" disciple who was speaking to them, "Junior Brother Feng, we went to pick spiritual medicine today and were attacked by four disciples from ’Ghost Doctor Valley’. We owe our lives to these two seniors’ rescue. Both seniors are Heaven Level Experts, and they have come to meet our Sect Master to discuss some matters. Go inform the Sect Master at once!"

Hearing the words "Heaven Level Martial Artists", Junior Brother Feng was taken aback. He took another look at Fang Bai and Long Jingtian, feeling somewhat incredulous, but he didn’t dare neglect them and, saying "Please wait a moment, Sister Wu," he turned and flew towards the summit.

In the Hidden Sect World, only Heaven Level Martial Artists can be called true experts. Now that two Heaven Level Experts had come to meet the Sect Master, it was no small matter. In order to show respect, the Sect Master, at the very least, should send an Elder down the mountain to welcome them.

Not long after Junior Brother Feng went up to report, six figures hurried down the mountain along the stone steps of the path.

"The Sect Master himself has come to welcome the two seniors!"

Zhao Yuhe exclaimed excitedly, looking at the leading figure.

The six figures moved swiftly like the wind and soon descended the mountain, arriving in front of Fang Bai and the others.

The one in the lead was a man around his sixties dressed in a green robe. The old man was somewhat lean, with narrow eyes beneath two horizontal silkworm eyebrows, his long hair tied up, and a long beard that fluttered in the mountain breeze, giving him an air of an immaterial sage.

Following closely behind the long-bearded elder were two elder men and two elder women, all also around sixty years old and all clad in green robes.

Each of the five elders had a healthy, ruddy complexion and a spirit-filled aura, clearly high-level Martial Artists.

The leading elder was a Heaven Level early-stage Martial Artist; Fang Bai knew this man must be the Sect Master of the "Spirit Crane Sect" Mu Xiantian.

The four elders following Mu Xiantian all had cultivation levels at Earth Level Perfection and were likely the four Great Elders of the "Spirit Crane Sect".

If one observed carefully, they would detect an expression of indignant helplessness on the brows of these five elders at this moment.

Junior Brother Feng was the last to leave the peak, returning to his original position with respectful reverence to continue his guarding duties.

"Caiyun pays her respects to the Sect Master and the four Elders!"

"Yuhe pays her respects to the Sect Master and the four Elders!"

Upon seeing the five elders, Wu Caiyun and Zhao Yuhe immediately stepped forward to bow respectfully.

Mu Xiantian nodded, and after the two women stepped aside, his gaze settled on Fang Bai and Long Jingtian.

When his eyes met Long Jingtian’s, his eyebrows raised in a show of considerable surprise, but upon seeing Fang Bai, he couldn’t help but feel somewhat disappointed.

"Caiyun and Yuhe had Feng report up the mountain, saying that two Heaven Level Martial Artists had come to pay respects to me, but why is there only one? The young man’s strength isn’t weak, but he’s merely at Earth Level Perfection! Alas, I was hoping to borrow the prestige of two great Heaven Level Martial Artists to make Ghost Doctor Valley wary," he sighed internally.

Mu Xiantian let out a silent sigh.

"Distinguished guests come from afar, I, Mu Xiantian, have failed to welcome you properly! Forgive me! Forgive me!"

Despite his disappointment, Mu Xiantian did not show it outwardly, smiling and fist-palming towards Long Jingtian.

He merely smiled and nodded at Fang Bai.

The different courtesies Mu Xiantian extended to Long Jingtian and Fang Bai were not out of disregard for Fang Bai, but in the world of Hidden Sects, the strong are revered. As a Heaven Level Martial Artist, being able to smile and nod at an Earth Level Martial Artist was already quite rare.

Had it been another Heaven Level Martial Artist, they might have ignored an Earth Level Martial Artist entirely, treating them like thin air, and the latter would certainly not dare to get angry.

Seeing that Mu Xiantian was thorough in his courtesies to himself but somewhat perfunctory towards Fang Bai, Long Jingtian knew that Fang Bai’s Earth Level Perfection in cultivation had confused him. He burst into laughter and said, "Sect Master Mu, my Brother Fang is the main guest today. He has come to discuss matters with you! I’m just accompanying him! And let me tell you, Brother Fang may only be at Earth Level Realm, but he has the ability to challenge those above his level!"

"Challenge above his level?"

Mu Xiantian’s expression turned to one of astonishment as he began to seriously size up Fang Bai.

Fang Bai’s realm was Earth Level Perfection, and if he truly had the ability to challenge those above his level, it would mean his combat power could contend with a Heaven Level Martial Artist. No wonder the disciple who reported up the mountain earlier mentioned two Heaven Level Experts were coming to visit.

A martial artist with the ability to challenge above his level must possess extremely high natural talent, and the Martial Arts Techniques they cultivate are often extraordinary. If what Long Jingtian said was true, then this young man had a promising and limitless future ahead of him, and he must make a good connection with him.

Facing the scrutiny of Mu Xiantian and the four Spirit Crane Sect Elders behind him, Fang Bai maintained a smile, neither overbearing nor submissive.

In order to verify whether Fang Bai truly possessed the ability to contend with a Heaven Level Martial Artist, Mu Xiantian subtly released a strand of Heaven Level Martial Artist’s oppressive aura towards Fang Bai.

What Mu Xiantian didn’t expect was that the strand of oppressive force, potent enough to crush an Earth Level Perfection Martial Artist, seemed to sink without trace upon reaching Fang Bai, stirring no ripples whatsoever.

Fang Bai’s expression remained unchanged, his smile even growing broader.
