Chapter 693 - 632: Stepping onto the Peak 41 (4,000 Words)
With Si Kaojing’s guidance, within just ten days, Tan Shuangshuang’s cultivation improved further. She is now a Martial Master Fourth Rank, about to break through to the Fifth Rank level, and her state is quite stable.
Tan Shuangshuang’s cultivation actually can no longer be considered something that only the younger generation possesses, because many who have been cultivating for decades may not necessarily break into the Martial Master level. Being able to have such cultivation at Tan Shuangshuang’s age makes her one of the most outstanding among geniuses.
When they arrived at the Wuji Sect, not only did Tan Shuangshuang feel a bit regretful at how quickly time passed, but even Si Kaojing felt that the time went by too fast. Guiding a bright child, who grasps things immediately, can draw analogies, is eager to learn, and can endure hardships, is truly a delightful experience.
At first glance, the location of the Wuji Sect seemed like nothing more than an ordinary mountain forest, due to the Array blocking the view from outside.
Only those with a Wuji Sect Identity Token can enter. Those without a token, even if they reach the front of the Wuji Sect, can only face a blank space, seeing and sensing nothing.
Si Kaojing raised his hand and threw a light yellow, unknown material small token; that token is an essential Identity Token for people of the Wuji Sect. Once released, it stopped in mid-air.
Then, Tan Shuangshuang saw ripples, visible to the naked eye, spread from the center of the token in the empty air before her. The ripples gradually waved in mid-air, slowly revealing a mist-covered path emerging from the center.
Si Kaojing maneuvered the Flying Heaven Palace onto the path, explaining to Tan Shuangshuang as they proceeded along the path shrouded in mist: "This is our Wuji Sect’s Mountain Protection Array. Without an Identity Token, one cannot find the entrance to our Wuji Sect. Even if by chance they discover the Mountain Protection Array and enter, they will immediately be trapped by the array, either stranded in an Illusion Array or attacked and killed by the attack array."
Tan Shuangshuang also showed shock and yearning for the array’s power. Moreover, Tan Shuangshuang always felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity with arrays, as if she had once intimately encountered countless mysterious arrays.
However, Tan Shuangshuang could confirm that she never actually encountered arrays before, and truly did not know where this feeling came from.
As Si Kaojing and Tan Shuangshuang conversed, the Flying Heaven Palace had already exited the mist-covered path, and an awe-inspiring scene unfolded in Tan Shuangshuang’s eyes!
Upon emerging from the mist path, they were greeted by a colossal mountain peak! Since Tan Shuangshuang and Si Kaojing were seated inside the Flying Heaven Palace, floating high in the sky, they could clearly take in the breathtaking scenery ahead.
This enormous mountain peak is so vast that its vastness is beyond measure, its summit disappearing into the clouds, reaching an unknown height. Around the mountainside, a white cloud belt like a jade ribbon wafted and moved. From afar, one could see people moving amidst those clouds.
Surrounding this gigantic mountain peak were eighteen other peaks, huge when viewed individually, yet small compared to the massive peak—like a giant next to a child. These eighteen peaks floated in mid-air, slowly revolving around the massive mountain peak continuously.
Whether on the gigantic peak or on the eighteen floating peaks surrounding it, numerous pavilions and houses were built in a neat and orderly manner.
Though these houses were constructed on the mountains, they relied on the environment for construction, maximizing the preservation of the mountainous terrain, and each house was finely carved and painted, resembling small palaces in their exquisite beauty.
This entire world was filled with rich Spiritual Energy, its abundance comparable to the Secret Realm of the Tan Family Tan Shuangshuang had visited before, but this Spiritual Energy arose from the natural Spirit Veins, ensuring its endless regeneration without the drawback of depleting as it was used, unlike in a Secret Realm.
Both the gigantic mountain peak and the eighteen peaks rotating around it were covered with various magical flora and fauna, Spiritual Medicines, Spirit Fruits, and various rare mutant beasts.
As Tan Shuangshuang was enchanted by the scenery of the Wuji Sect, she saw a flock of colorful giant birds with magnificent tail feathers flying by in the sky, with people sitting on the backs of these birds, chatting and laughing as they passed by her.
After passing through the Mountain Protection Array and officially entering the Wuji Sect, Si Kaojing did not stop but continued to propel the Flying Heaven Palace forward, quickly reaching the mountainside of the gigantic peak. Tan Shuangshuang could more clearly see the clouds enveloping the mountainside, as well as the people moving on these clouds.
