My Cultivation Starting from Archery-Chapter 1415 - 515: Luoxiao Sect (Part 2)

Ding Xiu muttered to himself for a while, then put down his wine cup and asked, "So, how is it? As you walked along, did you notice anything unusual, young friend?"

Chen Sansi replied, "The Spiritual Energy in the Upper Realm is not as abundant as I imagined."

He observed and discovered.

The number of low-rank Spirit Veins in the Upper Realm is far beyond that of the lower realm, and even in places without Spirit Veins, there is an abundance of First Rank Spiritual Energy.

But...

The quantity of high-rank Spirit Veins is very scarce.

Sixth-rank Spirit Veins, corresponding to Harmonization Cultivators, are already extremely valuable resources, possessed only by the leading sects among the 183 Immortal Sects.

As for seventh-rank Spirit Veins, corresponding to Immortal Venerables, very few sects possess them besides the Eight Immortal Upper Sects.

As for eighth-rank Spirit Veins.

Chen Sansi didn't see any at all.

"Eighth-rank Spirit Veins no longer exist."

Ding Xiu informed him, "Cultivators who reach the Immortal Saint realm generally need to rely on Formations or Cave Heaven Blessed Lands to continue their cultivation. Moreover, the trend of Spiritual Energy decline continues to worsen…"

Following his lead, Chen Sansi asked, "Why is this happening?"

"Because of that great war in ancient times~"

Ding Xiu sighed, "That battle shattered the heavens and earth, depleted the Spirit Veins, nearly eradicating all Spiritual Energy from this world. Fortunately, a senior intervened in time, dividing the heavens and the earth, and preserving a pure land for the Upper Realm, free from the lower realm's contamination.

"But the problem of Spiritual Energy depletion has not been completely resolved.

"At this rate, the collapse of the Immortal Path is inevitable someday.

"The Demon Seed is said to be able to resolve the problem once and for all, which is why the Daoists of the Upper Realm are so eager to find it."

"The Demon Seed can restore nature's spiritual energy?"

Chen Sansi asked, "Can you elaborate, Senior?"

Ding Xiu chuckled, "Knowing too much isn't beneficial for you. The Upper Realm's Demon Clan has extremely ruthless Soul Search methods. When the time is right, you, as the future Supreme Elder of the Luoxiao Sect, will naturally know everything."

Chen Sansi chose not to press further.

The celestial Roc beast accelerated through the void, using some kind of Void Formation.

The scenery outside the window quickly blurred until it disappeared into the void.

...

The Tombstar Mountains.

A cultivator with gray hair and beard appeared at the place where Ding Xiu and the others had previously been.

He looked in the direction where the celestial Roc beast disappeared, his face extremely gloomy.

"Master!"

Beside him, a Divinity Transformation cultivator spoke, "Who is that cultivator from the lower realm? To be able to kill Senior Brother in such a short time is incredible. Moreover, what are Luo Yunshu and Ding Xiu, two human Immortal Saints, doing with him?"

Gu Hongying snorted coldly, "Who cares who he is, anyone who harms members of our Shenxiao Residence must be killed without mercy!"

"But, but..."

The disciple hesitated, "That person was taken by Ding Xiu, and Elder Ding seemed quite friendly towards him, probably intending to bring him into the Luoxiao Sect."

"What of the Luoxiao Sect?!"

Gu Hongying roared, "Anyone who kills our members must be killed in return! Send someone to investigate and find out the origin of this ascended cultivator!"

"Understood."

The disciple dared not object further.

...

The azure Roc soared through the wind, crossing countless layers of cloud seas and traversing innumerable mountains and rivers.

Inside the Cloud Stopping Pavilion, Chen Sansi felt the surrounding Spiritual Energy suddenly become incredibly dense, allowing him to feel completely at ease.

Chen Sansi ascended to the top floor of the pavilion, gazing down through the clouds to see a magnificent Immortal Sect coming into view.

The vast endless sea of chaos clouds opened up here, as if torn apart by an immense force.

Beneath the clouds, countless bluish-green jade mountains rose tall and imposing, not made of gold or stone, resembling a prehistoric Immortal realm.

Along the road forward, there stood nine towering giant doors, suspended from low to high within the torn cloud sea.

Upon passing through the final Heavenly Gate, the sight ahead stirred the Divine Soul.

Beneath his feet was an endless Taoist arena paved from blue jade, with Sword Cultivators coming and going in the sky, and several elegantly shaped Immortal cranes stretching their long necks, calling clearly.

Looking further into the depths.

Several massive Immortal Mountains quietly floated above the swirling cloud sea, their peaks majestic and perilous, some like sharp swords piercing the sky, others like divine turtles lurking amongst the clouds.

The mountains were lush, ancient trees reached the sky, and countless oddly-shaped, spirit light adorned palace and pavilions were ingeniously embedded into the steep cliffs, hidden in swirling cloud mist.

The flying eaves and brackets appeared faintly in the clouds, the glazed tiles reflecting specks of gold under the celestial light that pierced through the gaps in the clouds. The sound of the distant morning bell and evening drum penetrated the thin mist, faintly reaching the ears.

Amidst these floating Immortal Mountains, an unimaginably vast and majestic waterfall was surging and roaring upward from an unfathomable cloud abyss below, defying the natural laws of the universe.

Around the waterfall, there were thousands of flying springs.

Their target was directly at the palace floating above all the Immortal Mountains.

This palace, entirely constructed of glazed divine crystals, was surrounded by dazzling seven-colored spirit mist from the impact of the waterfall and flying springs, forming a flowing sea of Immortal light around the entire Heavenly Palace complex.

This is the first Immortal Sect in the Human World, the Luoxiao Sect.

This palace is the most coveted holy land for cultivators worldwide, the Luoxiao Heavenly Palace!

A Golden Light Barrier enveloped the entire sect.

As the azure Roc approached, the golden light parted automatically like the receding tide, creating a pathway.

All disciples stepped aside, bowing while standing on flying swords.

"Greetings, Supreme Elder!!!"

"..."

"This is the Luoxiao Sect."

Ding Xiu said earnestly, "Within the sect, there are eighty-one peaks in total, of which twenty-four are Inner Sect, and fifty-seven are Outer Sect.

"Oh, to be precise, the Outer Sect is not only here.

"In every Dao path within the four Immortal Continents of the Human Race, the Luoxiao Sect has established a 'Heavenly Dao Department', managed by Outer Sect disciples, overseeing the Cultivation World and Human Race affairs.

"In total, the Luoxiao Sect has millions of disciples, and if you add the servant disciples, the number could exceed ten million.

"What do you think? Isn't it more numerous than your mortal soldiers and horses?"

Chen Sansi nodded, "Indeed magnificent and vast, worthy of being the head of ten thousand Immortals."

"Hehe~"

Ding Xiu laughed, pointing with his cane to a corner in the southeast where there was an Immortal Mountain: "This mountain is named 'Guanlan,' possessing a Sixth-rank Spirit Vein. All of its disciples have been transferred to the frontier and probably won't return for a thousand years.

"From now on, you will serve as this mountain's Elder.

"But I must remind you, you're currently only an Outer Sect Elder.

"In the Luoxiao Sect, to become an Inner Sect Elder, you need to be at least at the Unity Realm Stage.

"If I were to directly appoint you as an Inner Sect Elder, the younger folks would accuse me of favoritism; I hope you understand."

"Senior speaks well."

Chen Sansi said, "Without any achievements, having a foothold here is already deeply appreciated; I wouldn't dare ask for more."

"That's the spirit, but judging by your qualification, in a few years you'll probably astonish the whole sect, and by then, they will naturally accept you."

Ding Xiu said, "If the young friend has no objections, then I'll take you to register; from today, you are a member of the Luoxiao Sect."

Under the personal guidance of this Human Race Immortal Saint, Chen Sansi completed the entire process of joining the sect.

Along the way, they attracted the attention of many Luoxiao Sect cultivators.

They were all shocked.

Ding Xiu, a Golden Immortal of the Ancient Times, now a genuine Immortal Saint of the Human Race, actually personally accompanied an outsider through these trivial matters, which was simply unbelievable.

"Who is this person?"

"Late Divinity Transformation, not that high a realm."

"Even as an Outer Sect Elder, it's usually extremely hard to meet the Patriarch, yet he has such treatment?"
