Chapter 2056: Chapter 2056: On Qingcheng Mountain
The azure light pierced the clouds, and the mountains and rivers receded.In a moment, Ning Chenxin felt his body lighten, and the scenery before him suddenly cleared.
Clouds flowed like the sea beneath his feet. Several green peaks pierced the clouds, standing majestically, with ancient pines and strange cypresses on their summits, verdant and vigorous. There were no resplendent palaces in the mountains, only a few simple Taoist temples built against the mountain, with blue tiles and white walls, blending perfectly with nature. A gentle breeze carried the refreshing fragrance of vegetation and a faint hint of sandalwood, cleansing the body and mind.
The concentration and purity of the spiritual energy here far exceeded any place Ning Chenxin had previously seen.
More peculiarly, the air was filled with an upright, harmonious aura, resonating vaguely with the righteousness he cultivated, causing his pores to involuntarily open.
"This is Qingcheng Mountain." The Qingcheng Old Daoist lightly waved his horsetail whisk, his voice carrying an unusual warmth, "A mountain doesn’t need to be high to be famous if there’s a celestial being. Our Qingcheng lineage cultivates the grand energy of the world and guards the clarity of the heart."
Ning Chenxin took a deep breath, feeling the turbid air in his chest dissipate, leaving him unprecedentedly serene.
The Qingcheng Old Daoist observed Ning Chenxin’s relaxed expression and couldn’t help but chuckle, "If you went to the Supervisory Temple, you wouldn’t have the chance to experience this kind of aura."
As he spoke, the Qingcheng Old Daoist pointed to the tallest peak deep in the clouds, "That is Righteous Peak, with the Righteous Pool at its summit, one of the treasured sites of Qingcheng Mountain. The pool’s water is formed by the convergence of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Mechanism and righteousness by the sages of the past, greatly beneficial for your cultivation. In the future, you must recite the Dao Law by the pool every day, channel righteousness into your body, and refine your soul."
Ning Chenxin followed the direction of his pointing and saw Righteous Peak soaring into the clouds, with a faint white glow flowing around it.
He then pointed to another lower peak, cloaked in bamboo groves: "That is Sutra Storage Peak, which houses the Cave of Scriptures inside the mountain, containing the ’Heavenly Master’s Righteous Scripture’ and the righteous texts and sages’ insights collected and written over generations at Qingcheng Mountain. As a True Disciple, you may freely enter to peruse. Cultivation begins with cultivating the heart; one can only act steadfastly after understanding reason."
Ning Chenxin turned to look at the Sutra Storage Peak, finding it elegantly serene, exuding the scholarly aura of a reclusive studio.
"Hmm, these two peaks typically require permission to enter, but for you, there’s no such restriction." The Qingcheng Old Daoist waved his hand, "Now, follow the old Daoist to meet the other True Disciples at Qingcheng Mountain."
