The Flying Cloud Boat swiftly glided through the Sect, and along the way, Cheng Xujing continuously explained the situation within the Sect to Zhang Yuhe, which was a refreshing experience for him.
According to Cheng Xujing, the Dao Saint Sect has had a Legacy in the Yu Fan Heaven World for over a million years, and almost every few tens of thousands of years, there are powerful Cultivators who Undergo Tribulation and Ascension.
Even now, the Dao Saint Sect still has Great Ascension Old Ancestors, but Cheng Xujing was unsure of the exact number of Great Ascension Old Ancestors.
These Great Ascension Old Ancestors basically Cultivate deep within the Sect, and have not shown themselves for over a thousand years.
Perhaps at some point, one of them might be able to pass the Great Heavenly Tribulation, open the Stairway to Heaven, and embark on the Immortal Dao of longevity.
The flying boat flew swiftly, passing over Immortal mountains and pavilions, occasionally brushing past unknown Immortal birds.
However, what surprised Zhang Yuhe was that they hardly saw any other fellow Disciples along the way.
It was as if the vast Dao Saint Sect only had a few people.
However, Cheng Xujing quickly explained to him that the Dao Saint Sect has numerous Disciples, with one hundred thousand Outer Sect Disciples and three thousand Inner Sect Disciples.
It's just that other Disciples are either on missions or Cultivating in their Immortal Caves.
Whether Inner Sect Disciples or Outer Sect Disciples, advancing in Cultivation is everyone's belief; when there's nothing to do, people rarely wander within the Sect.
That's why they didn't see anyone else.
Listening to Cheng Xujing's words, Zhang Yuhe couldn't help but nod silently.
At this moment, his perception of the Dao Saint Sect instantly rose by a level.
Originally, he thought that since the Dao Saint Sect dominated the Yu Fan Heaven World, its Disciples might all be incredibly arrogant.
Perhaps there would even be second-generation rich kids jumping out to show off and slap faces.
After all, 'I am the best in the world,' so being arrogant would be normal.
However, the reality was not like that.
After some interaction, whether it was Zhao Qianqian at the reception or Cheng Xujing at the Executive Hall, both gave him a feeling of humility and amiability.
As the world's number one and only Sect force, its hundred thousand Disciples showed no signs of slackness, each diligently Cultivating.
What kind of belief is this, what kind of terrifying power?
Thinking of this, Zhang Yuhe sincerely admired that the Dao Saint Sect could rule the Yu Fan Heaven World for over a million years; it was not without reason.
With such a Cultivation atmosphere, who in the world could be their enemy?
However, this kind of Sect Cultivation environment was exactly what he liked: everyone quietly Cultivating when there was nothing to do.
Once something happened, they would all charge forward and deal with it.
Zhang Yuhe felt that Cultivation should be like this, with less scheming and more down-to-earth effort.
...
The flying boat flew swiftly, suddenly stopping in front of a mountain peak.
Cheng Xujing pointed at the mountain in front of them and said,
"Senior Brother Zhang, we're here. This is Silver River Peak, the one you chose. You can open the mountain's Restriction with your identity token."
Zhang Yuhe took out his identity jade token, and as Spiritual Qi was infused, the full view of the mountain appeared before his eyes.
Looking at the mountain in front of him, Zhang Yuhe couldn't help but feel his heart surge; this would be his territory from now on.
"Junior Brother Cheng, would you like to come in and sit for a while?"
Zhang Yuhe didn't rush to inspect Silver River Peak but turned to invite Cheng Xujing.
Cheng Xujing waved his hand.
"No need. The Executive Hall still has matters to attend to. Senior Brother has just arrived at the Sect, so you should first familiarize yourself with the environment and settle down for a good rest."
"Alright then, Junior Brother, feel free to visit Silver River Peak whenever you have time in the future."
"Certainly."
After some pleasantries, Cheng Xujing controlled the flying boat, which transformed into a streak of light and disappeared into the distance.
After watching Cheng Xujing leave, Zhang Yuhe stepped onto Silver River Peak.
Standing on the peak, looking at everything around him, he couldn't help but feel excited.
"I hope one day, I can attain the Dao here and Ascend to the Immortal Realm."
Zhang Yuhe circled Silver River Peak, inspecting it. Along the way, small animals occasionally leaped on the mountain.
At first, he was startled, thinking there were Yao Beasts on the mountain.
But Zhang Yuhe quickly breathed a sigh of relief, as he found that these small animals were all Mortals and had not evolved into Yao Beasts.
Mortal animals would not affect his Cultivation; on the contrary, they could add some Life Qi to Silver River Peak, so keeping them was just right.
Silver River Peak was not large, about ten-plus li in circumference, with only one mountain and one Lake.
But for him, it was enough; after all, he was a solitary person and didn't need such a large place.
After an inspection, Zhang Yuhe was very satisfied with the environment of Silver River Peak, but he quickly discovered a problem.
There were no buildings on Silver River Peak.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but scratch his head.
"There's not even a single house, so where do I sleep tonight?"
"Are all Dao Saint Sect Disciples sleeping outdoors? That can't be right."
"Forget it, I'll do it myself."
Zhang Yuhe summoned his Flying Sword and pointed it casually; large swathes of trees in the distance fell to the ground.
Carving wood into pillars, cutting stone into bricks.
Zhang Yuhe worked tirelessly alone on Silver River Peak.
By evening, a beautifully scenic courtyard appeared on the mountaintop.
In front of the courtyard stood a huge stone, on which were carved the four large characters: "Silver River Courtyard."
"Not bad, not bad. This is much more impressive than the garden mansions on Blue Star."
Looking at the courtyard he had built, Zhang Yuhe nodded in satisfaction.
A Cultivator building a house would naturally not do a poor job.
"I'll get something to eat well, then have a good night's sleep. Tomorrow, I'll go to the Scripture Building to choose a Cultivation Technique."
Elder Lu had said that he could choose any Cultivation Technique from the Scripture Building.
The Cultivation Techniques that could be included in the Scripture Building were all Heaven-grade Cultivation Techniques.
Heaven-grade Cultivation Techniques were absolutely unique in the entire Yu Fan Heaven World; only the Dao Saint Sect possessed them.
As for other forces, let alone Heaven-grade Cultivation Techniques, if they had a slightly better Profound-grade Cultivation Technique, that would already be a blessing from their ancestors.
Aside from the Qi Induction Art given by the System, Zhang Yuhe had not yet encountered any other true Cultivation Techniques.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel a little excited about his trip to the Scripture Building tomorrow.
...
The silver moon hung high, and its soft moonlight quietly bathed the entire Dao Saint Sect.
Under the moonlight, Zhang Yuhe sat on a stone stool in the courtyard, silently eating roasted meat.
Yes, it was still roasted meat; besides that, he temporarily couldn't find any other better food.
Although he had entered the Dao Saint Sect, his living conditions had not improved.
The Dao Saint Sect provided its Disciples with an excellent Cultivation environment and top-tier Cultivation Techniques, but in terms of daily life, it offered nothing, and one had to rely entirely on oneself.
Perhaps living rough and eating simple food was a common state for Cultivators.
"Let's see what other players are doing."
Zhang Yuhe opened the chat channel while eating roasted meat.
"Another day, and night falls. Although I've been in Yu Fan Heaven World for over a month, why do I still feel a little scared when night comes?"
"What are you scared of? Cultivate with confidence. If wild monsters come knocking, kill them and eat their meat. If a ghost comes in, push her down."
"F*ck, you're ruthless."
"Are there any brothers in Flowing Sand City? Let's team up to kill monsters tomorrow."
"Envious again of the big shot who has already left the wilderness."
"Same here, envious."
"Excuse me, where is Flowing Sand City? I stay in this dilapidated temple every day, and besides occasionally going out to pick some wild fruits to eat, I don't dare to go anywhere else. I don't even know what's outside."
"Brother, you need to be brave and go out."
"I don't dare, I'm scared."
"What's there to be scared of? Choose the right direction and just walk out. If you see powerful wild monsters, just bypass them. Leaving the wilderness is absolutely no problem."
"Indeed, I'm still a Mortal now, and I've also already left the wilderness."
"No way, are you guys that fierce?"
"Don't underestimate yourselves. As long as you Cultivate for a period of time, even if you haven't leveled up, your strength will still increase significantly. Dealing with some small monsters is absolutely no problem."
"Yeah, I can now break a bowl-sized tree with one punch, and I haven't even leveled up; I'm still a Mortal."
"By the way, how many big shots have entered Qi Condensation Layer One now?"
"I don't know, big shots usually don't show themselves."
"Haha, I'm already at Qi Condensation Layer One, and I've also learned a Fireball Technique. After I go offline, I'll give everyone a live performance."
"Big shot is awesome."
"Truly envious."
