Eternal Life: I Have the Favor System

"Lingshan is right ahead. Anyone want to get off the ship and go ashore?"

The captain shouted.

"Long-Eyebrow Monster, didn’t you set up a cave residence on Lingshan? You’re home. Aren’t you going to invite us up for a drink?"

"If you don’t mind, feel free to go to my cave and stay for a few days. I won’t stop you."

It turned out the Long-Eyebrow Monster was the one who had been selling medicinal herbs.

So the mountain range that jutted up from the sea, so vast you couldn’t see the end of it, was called Lingshan. The Long-Eyebrow Monster seemed to be afraid of some creature on the mountain. Clutching his bottles and jars of medicinal ingredients, he left the deck and returned to his cabin.

When the ship docked, a few Loose Cultivators disembarked and entered Lingshan, but most people continued on with the voyage.

Chu Lingguang and Guo Wei quietly observed the situation.

From the others’ conversations, the master and disciple pair could easily tell that Lingshan was a rare and precious land for cultivation, but also extremely dangerous. The mountain held Spirit Herbs and Medicines, as well as demons and monsters that even many powerful experts of the Foundation Establishment Realm feared.

Knowing their strength was insufficient, the master and disciple stayed obediently on the ship and never once went ashore.

"Master, where are we heading?"

Chu Lingguang didn’t have a destination in mind yet.

He thought about how Yun Hong, Yun Shu, and even Qin Yu were all at the Cyan Cloud Sect, which made him consider it a potential destination. However, the sect’s conduct left a bad taste in his mouth.

Even someone like Yun Shu, with her Dual Spiritual Root, had been toyed with by a Cyan Cloud Sect Elder. If he and Guo Wei went there, even if they managed to get in and cultivate, their future wouldn’t be much better.

"Let’s go check out the Profound Celestial Sect."

Guo Wei said after a moment of thought.

"What? Master, the Profound Celestial Sect is incredibly powerful and only accepts genius disciples. It won’t be easy for the two of us to get in."

Chu Lingguang pointed out.

"I know,"

Guo Wei said with a smile, looking at Chu Lingguang.

’What is Master planning?’

Chu Lingguang felt something was off.

"I will find a way for you to enter the Profound Celestial Sect,"

Guo Wei said.

"But... how could it be that easy?"

"You’re different from me. You were born with a Spiritual Root. I can’t get into the Profound Celestial Sect, but that doesn’t mean you can’t. Besides, Yan Zhen is at the Profound Celestial Sect right now. You two are as close as brothers. If he knew you wanted to join, he would definitely find a way to help you get in."

Guo Wei said seriously.

"Then what about you, Master?"

Chu Lingguang asked in return.

"We’ll cross that bridge when we come to it. Who knows, maybe the Profound Celestial Sect will take a liking to me, just like they will to you."

Guo Wei said with a laugh.

"The Profound Celestial Sect only recruits geniuses. I can’t compare to Yan. We should just find any random sect to cultivate at. I think the Cyan Cloud Sect is actually fine. It doesn’t matter what kind of people they are or how they treat us—we’ll just treat them the same way in the future. As long as we can find a good place to cultivate and obtain a Cultivation Technique, we can make a name for ourselves in the cultivation world."

Chu Lingguang knew what Guo Wei was thinking.

"Listen to me. We’re going to the Profound Celestial Sect."

Guo Wei said decisively, lying on the deck with his hands behind his head.

Chu Lingguang was helpless to change his mind.

The ship sailed on the sea for half a month.

After the silhouette of Lingshan had shrunk to a black dot on the horizon, Chu Lingguang and Guo Wei finally spotted an unfamiliar continent.

"We’ve reached Cyan Cloud Sect territory."

"Everyone off the ship!"

"Finally back."

"What a wasted trip. My Spirit Root Attribute barely improved at all."

"It’s better than nothing."

The ship was crowded, and everyone disembarked one after another.

After sailing for half a month, Chu Lingguang and Guo Wei had come to a general understanding of the situation on this new continent.

Just like with Yuanchu Mountain, the cultivation sects here liked to control mortal dynasties, using them to manage ordinary disciples and have them perform all sorts of tasks.

Under the Cyan Cloud Sect’s direction, a nation called Great Qin had emerged on this continent.

The system here was quite similar to that of Great Yuan, with the practice of cultivation through Martial Arts Examinations being just as popular. The only difference was that Great Qin would recommend talented individuals to the Cyan Cloud Sect from time to time. The Cyan Cloud Sect would generally accept them, and even occasionally dispatch sect disciples to guide the soldiers of Great Qin in their cultivation.

Compared to the Great Yuan Dynasty controlled by Yuanchu Mountain, the rules around cultivation here were more relaxed; there were almost no prohibitions against the leaking of Cultivation Techniques.

It was nothing like the Great Yuan Dynasty, where even leaking the Day and Night Breathing Technique could bring about a calamitous disaster.

"I’m going to buy a map."

Guo Wei had already learned that the gold and silver from the Great Yuan Dynasty were accepted in Great Qin, with a nearly identical exchange rate. Aside from some differences in customs, this place felt like another Great Yuan Dynasty, just with more lenient rules.

"The Profound Celestial Sect is here."

Guo Wei found the Profound Celestial Sect on the map.

He had imagined that a sect like the Profound Celestial Sect would have claimed over half the cultivation world’s territory as its own, but that wasn’t the case.

Instead, the Profound Celestial Sect’s territory only occupied a single mountain range less than a hundred li long.

Its geographical location was within the borders of Great Qin, looking like an isolated pocket that had appeared within the Cyan Cloud Sect’s domain. That isolated pocket was the territory belonging to the Profound Celestial Sect.

For all these years, aside from poaching talented disciples from other sects, the Profound Celestial Sect didn’t seem to have had any conflicts with the Cyan Cloud Sect or any other smaller factions.

Of course, this was mainly because the Profound Celestial Sect’s power was unmatched within Great Qin’s borders, and no one dared to provoke them. Even when the Cyan Cloud Sect had its genius disciples poached, they could only swallow their anger and say nothing. They had no other choice but to hide their most outstanding disciples away.

The days passed one by one.

Following the map, the master and disciple duo arrived at the gates of the Profound Celestial Sect a month later.

The mountain range where the Profound Celestial Sect was located was called the Profound Celestial Mountain Range, from which the sect took its name.

HUMMM!

Upon reaching the mountain gate, Chu Lingguang and Guo Wei both felt an extraordinary fluctuation of power. A natural Barrier blocked their path.
