The Peak Master led them into Jiuli Peak, a place where new disciples resided. The houses were fairly clean, having been renovated half a month ago.

All around were grass and trees, lush and green, with fresh air.

"No one's living here, feel free to choose." The Peak Master said with a smile.

"Elder, may I ask, your Sect Master?" A Sword Saint approached: "How old are they?"

"Should be around fourteen or fifteen, right?"

"Should be?"

"Yeah!"

"You don't know?"

"I'm just like you, it's my first day meeting her too." When he said this, the Peak Master was rather embarrassed.

"..."

"It's her first day on the job." The Peak Master added.

"What realm?"

"Not quite sure." The Peak Master replied.

Everyone fell silent.

Fourteen or fifteen years old.

First day meeting.

First day on the job.

This is like a joke.

Are you sure this is a sect?

Moreover, her tone earlier sounded like a wealthy merchant looking down on the poor.

Thinking of this, another Sword Saint couldn't help but ask, "Is your Wuji Sect very wealthy?" His gaze swept around, thinking, "It's practically falling apart, isn't it?"

These scattered, broken buildings, not a single decent place.

It's not that they were despising Wuji Sect, but the tone and attitude of Liu Ting'er being superior was really intolerable.

After all, they came from the Heavens and were all in the Quasi-Emperor Realm.

The cultivation resources in their hands were things others could only dream of!

Cough cough!

Faced with the Sword Saint's question, the Peak Master was momentarily at a loss for words.

The Wuji Sect wasn't wealthy, at least not until Zhuge Wushuang returned, they were dirt poor, struggling to gather a hundred Spirit Stones across the entire sect.

But after Zhuge Wushuang's return, this situation changed.

Mountains of Ninth Grade Spirit Pills, supreme cultivation skills, Quasi-Emperor Weapons, etc...

And then compare that to what the Sword Saints brought out.

A clear difference.

The Peak Master twitching his eyelids couldn't mention this, afraid to affect their mindset, so he could only laugh awkwardly.

One of the Sword Saints pointed towards Qingfeng's direction and asked, "Why can't we cultivate there?"

This damn place...

That's the lineage of Qingfeng, a place where a Great Emperor came from.

But Zhuge Wushuang didn't bother explaining this, he couldn't be bothered, so he found an excuse: "You'll get beaten."

Hehe!

The Sword Saints smiled faintly.

All of them were Quasi-Emperor Realm experts, who in the old lands would dare beat them?

......

While the Peak Master was settling the Sword Saints.

Zhuge Wushuang took Liu Ting'er to the Central Continent, he sighed, "It used to be truly picturesque here."

"I believe it..."

"Really."

"I really believe it." Liu Ting'er said solemnly, "What's with that big pit?"

"Oh, it just mysteriously appeared when the Divine Clan activated their smelting plan, they say there's a God inside."

"Really?" At the mention of a God, Liu Ting'er's eyes lit up, "What realm do I need to cultivate to, to be able to slay Gods like Xiao An's father?"

"..."

"Why aren't you speaking?" Liu Ting'er looked at him, eager.

"Focus on your cultivation!" Zhuge Wushuang said, "Don't set your sights here, Brother Chen has been to this place before, and he left without taking action, after returning to Wuji Sect he revealed the truth to Sect Master Hongxiu, his chief disciple is currently in retreat inside!"

Back when the Blood Sacrifice Array was destroyed, Chen Pingping did come here but learning that Li Qi was inside, competing with the God for opportunities, he gave up the idea of intervening.

Liu Ting'er responded with an "Oh" without saying more, though her eyes remained eager.

An hour later.

The two arrived at the place marked by the Investiture of the Gods, the mountain body had not yet collapsed, protected by an array, and was guarded by some old members of the Wuji Sect.

Among them were those with ulterior motives, sporadically scattered, numbering at least several hundred, from the Supreme Mystery Realm to the Imperial Dao Realm.

The elders of the Wuji Sect guarding this place were under great pressure; their realms were not high, their combat power weak, if chaos broke out, no one could withstand it.

Fortunately, being from Wuji Sect, the news of Chen Pingping's Tao Verification and ascension to Emperor quickly spread, tales of slaying Emperor Realm, slaying Gods, and other terrifying achievements deeply rooted in people's hearts.

Even those with schemes, no matter how envious of the imprint, dared not act rashly and could only watch for changes.

Zhuge Wushuang took a few steps into the place marked with the Investiture of the Gods, directly ignoring the array and overlooking the elders stationed there.

"How bold!" An old man suddenly opened his eyes, though his blood was thin, his gaze remained sharp, and a hint of Sword Intent quietly blossomed, "Wuji Sect's forbidden ground, all idle people must leave quickly.

"Huh? Two fearless ones have come."

"Isn't there a Great Emperor in Wuji Sect now? These two are too bold, aren't they?"

"Great Emperor? That guy named Chen Pingping? Haha... it's just that our clan's Master doesn't involve himself with worldly matters, if he did, who knows who would verify their Dao..."

"I heard that in the Ancient City battle, Chen Pingping was severely injured, and he's already gone into seclusion. It will probably take thousands of years for him to recover since he is a Great Emperor."

"And then there's Wuji Sect of the Nine Heavens, countless deaths and injuries in the Ancient Road battle, or else they wouldn't have brought people over from here, wanting the Wuji Sect disciples here to hold the line."

"Pitiful..."

In the shadows, lurking adversaries sneered.

Despite rumors that Chen Pingping indeed suffered serious injuries and went into seclusion, and Wuji Sect underwent many changes and wouldn't be able to take care of themselves for a while,

They remained cautious and wouldn't strike lightly.

No one wanted to be the lead bird.

Of course, if someone did, they were happy to watch the show.

Hundreds of people were closely watching the two who intruded into the marked place.

"It seems they don't recognize us." Liu Ting'er mumbled, feeling a bit awkward. It was one thing not to recognize her as the new Sect Master, after all, it was her first day on the job.

But Zhuge Wushuang had lived for hundreds of years.

He smiled faintly, "It's normal, let's ignore them for now."

The Sword Intent cut into this place but was invisibly dissolved by Zhuge Wushuang. He turned his back to the old man, facing the mountain body, "The intelligence from the past said that this mountain was as high as the clouds, and then it slowly sank down, with the Investiture of the Gods imprint nurtured inside like a heart."

Liu Ting'er pondered thoughtfully.

"Do you have confidence?"

"Huh?"

"Your task is to obtain the mark."

"..."

Her little face crumpled again, and she said in a faint tone, "Shouldn't such a big task be done by a master?"

"In the entire world, within the Human Clan, only a Taoist Body can fuse with the mark of the Investiture of the Gods. This is your opportunity," Zhuge Wushuang said.

"You rascal, daring to trespass into the forbidden area of the Wuji Sect, leave quickly or do you really want this old man to call for help?" The old man scolded angrily, though his heart was filled with shock.

The sword intent he sent out vanished instantly, unbelievably fast.

That middle-aged man is a strong one!

Perhaps it's a fight that can't be won.

But since he's tasked with guarding this place, he has to take action.

Now, he could only use words to intimidate the opponent, hoping that this person recognizes the might of the Wuji Sect and leaves on his own.

"We have a Great Emperor guarding the Wuji Sect. If you don't leave, you are destined to encounter disaster." The old man moved closer step by step, feeling a more terrifying aura emanating.

Just by getting slightly closer, his internal blood and energy surged, flowing like rivers in reverse, and even his Divine Soul was convulsing.

It was extremely intimidating.

How could this be?

Is there really someone unafraid of a Great Emperor?

The old man was suffocating.

Sigh!

Zhuge Wushuang let out a light sigh, turned around, and glanced at him.

The latter was taken aback, his body trembling, retreating repeatedly.

Liu Ting'er: "..."

"No need to panic, just driving him back a little, saves me from explaining it. It's troublesome if he doesn't believe the explanation," Zhuge Wushuang said helplessly.

This was a last resort.

In secret!

Someone sneered, "Interesting, actually daring to provoke the Wuji Sect."

"Truly fearless of death."

"Very good, paving the way for us. If no one from the Wuji Sect comes, we can take action!"

At the foot of the mountain.

Zhuge Wushuang continued, "Your spear is the destiny of the Human Clan."

Liu Ting'er's heart trembled. Although she couldn't understand the phrase, it carried a deep sense of antiquity, making her glance at the mountains ahead, then at Zhuge Wushuang.

At that moment, she seemed to understand something.

After a long while...

Liu Ting'er turned around and approached the old man.

The old man's face changed dramatically once more, full of horror, thinking she was going to strike him dead, so he instantly gathered Sword Dao.

"I am the Sect Master of the Wuji Sect." She said seriously.

Old man: "???"

Everyone: "..."

Soon, the message was relayed back to the Wuji Sect, and a response came. The aged Peak Master hurried over without a word.

Upon arrival, panting, his first words were, "Do not act rashly, she is the Sect Master."

......

The Heavens, Northern Wing.

This is a gathering place for the Human Clan, a vast and boundless area.

In this place, there are many powerful sects, families, forces, and hidden loose cultivators, among others.

Among them is a super sect called "Luoyang Sect."

This sect spans over a hundred miles, with tens of thousands of disciples, strong individuals like clouds, rich in heritage, it is also a place many young people of the Human Clan yearn to visit for cultivation.

Next is the holy land for cultivation a hundred thousand miles away, named "Tianxuan," equally as powerful, albeit a bit stronger than Luoyang Sect.

After all, it's called a "holy land."

However, there are very few disciples in the holy land, and they are extremely stringent in accepting new entrants.

Yet, anyone who emerges from the holy land is undoubtedly a peerless strongman, suppressing contemporaries, deterring peers, with various abilities to kill above their level.

Furthermore, the holy land gathers several "Emperor Sons." 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

In the Northern Wing, there is such a saying that the holy land is the Sky City for Emperor Sons. If you are an Emperor Son, coming here is a sure choice.

Here you can find many Emperor Scriptures, Ancient Emperor's reflections, Ancient Emperor Scriptures, Battle Scriptures, and various unconventional ways to verify the Tao.

As for Luoyang Sect, most of it is based on Different Bodies, Divine Bodies, and various constitutions.

When An, Mo Lai, Fairy, Void Body, Wen Qingshan, and Zhang Ziyu heard about the news of Luoyang Sect and Tianxuan Holy Land, they all showed longing expressions.

"I think, Tianxuan Holy Land is good." After a long while, An calmly said this sentence.

"I agree." Mo Lai echoed.

"Luoyang Sect is also good, with a lot of cultivation methods for Divine Bodies and ways to advance Taoism." Wen Qingshan said, then looked at Zhang Ziyu.

"Why are you looking at me?" Zhang Ziyu spat blood, "I'm a sword cultivator, damn it."

"Luoyang Sect has Sword Dao."

"What's that got to do with me?" Zhang Ziyu said irritably, "I want to go with the Fairy to the Divine Clan to find the Goddess."

"No ambition!" Wen Qingshan rolled his eyes, "What if you find the Goddess?"

"Of course, to have offspring! Our Zhang family should leave a descendant, right?" Zhang Ziyu replied...

He is, after all, a descendant of a Sword Immortal!

Once the news spreads, it will surely make him the target of everyone, significantly increasing the danger. At that point, who knows when he might kick the bucket?

So, it's better to leave a seed!

After a moment of silence, the Fairy said, "Are you planning to join a sect for cultivation?"

An was eager, "I want to try."

Wen Qingshan sighed, "I've already reached Perfection, but it feels like the Void Taoism can't advance, as if it's stuck at a bottleneck!"

If there weren't a place like Luoyang Sect, he naturally wouldn't consider it, but now that it exists, he's itching to go.

As a perfect Divine Body, a Divine Body stuck in a bottleneck, it's hard to refuse such temptation.

An felt the same.

It's said that Emperor Sons cannot verify the Dao because their father is there.

But now, there are many alternate methods within the Tianxuan Saintess, and the holy land has numerous successful examples throughout its history.

She was quite tempted.

"Do you want to find the Goddess?" the Fairy asked Zhang Ziyu.

"Of course!" Zhang Ziyu answered.

"Alright, we'll separate for now, but we must keep in touch frequently, especially you, An. You must report to me at all times. If you encounter any danger, transmit a message to me immediately," the Fairy said.
