The most secure job in Dajin

Chapter 267, Veteran Figures
"It's Gu Xing and Meng Qingyao!"

Hua Changxi soon learned that the two newly appeared mountain peaks were summoned by Gu Xing and Meng Qingyao.

However, this time the commotion was not as big as the commotion she had made before.

Not only did the sacred tree not appear, but even its branches did not materialize, and there was no trace of it bestowing words or naming the mountain.

The two newly emerged peaks, one to the northeast of Danyuan Peak and the other to the southeast of Danyuan Peak, are not only shorter than Danyuan Peak, but also less imposing.

The three peaks stand together, with Danyuan Peak looking like the eldest, and the two newer peaks like the younger brothers.

This discovery brought a smile to Hua Changxi's face, and her previously gloomy mood, which had been caused by other secret realm masters imitating her without compensation, brightened considerably.

Hua Changxi was happy, but Meng Qingyao, Xia Zhen, and the others were not in a good mood at the moment.

Originally, it was thought that the three high-grade secret realms bestowed by the divine tree were of the same grade, but unexpectedly, the secret realm that Hua Changxi obtained was of a higher grade than the other two.

This was completely unexpected!

Xia Zhen's expression was particularly serious. He knew some of the rules governing the grade of the secret realm bestowed by the divine tree, one of which was based on a person's talent and potential.

The secret realm that Hua Changxi obtained was of a higher grade than Qing Yao's. Doesn't this mean that her alchemy talent and growth potential are superior to Qing Yao's Fire-Wood Spirit Body?

This was hard for Xia Zhen to believe and accept. He could no longer deny that Hua Changxi would become Meng Qingyao's strongest opponent.

As for Meng Qingyao, looking at the stark contrast between Xinfeng and Danyuanfeng was like watching a contest between her and Hua Changxi, and she was clearly at a disadvantage.

She, who never thought she would lose, was now somewhat overwhelmed.

On the other side, Gu Xing's emotions were not as volatile as Meng Qingyao's, and he naturally accepted everything.

Unlike Danyuan Peak, Xinfeng didn't carve his name on the summit. Instead, he took out a two-meter-high boulder, carved the three characters "Shenhe Peak" on it, and placed it directly at the foot of the mountain.

After Gu Xing erected the stone tablet, a green light flashed on it.

"This is?"

Gu Xing quickly took the green pill from the top of the stone tablet. Soon, he knew that it was a sacred pill containing a hundred protective tokens.

A storage marvel!

Unfortunately, Gu Xing had not yet developed his spiritual platform, so he could not store the sacred pill in his sea of ​​consciousness and could only quickly store it in his storage artifact.

"It's actually a sacred pill!"

Gu Xing now knows what the green light that Hua Changxi obtained when the Altar of Pills appeared was.

Xia Zhen witnessed Gu Xing obtaining the sacred pill and immediately signaled Meng Qingyao to do the same.

Because she had left many stone tablets after refining the oath tablets, Meng Qingyao immediately took one out, engraved the three characters 'Qingyao Peak' on it, and placed it at the foot of Xinfeng Mountain.

Soon, a green peony appeared at the top of the stone tablet.

Meng Qingyao took the green pill in her hand. After learning its function, her expression changed, and she looked at Xia Zhen: "This is a sacred pill, containing a hundred sacred protection tokens."

Upon hearing this, Xia Zhen's expression changed drastically: "It's actually the Holy Protection Order!"

The sacred tree connects the heavens, the human world, and the netherworld; the Holy Protection Token is the proof of the connection between the sacred land and the netherworld.

Those who uphold the sacred decree may freely pass through the Gen Gate and Zhen Gate gates of the Holy Land and the Nine Netherworld Guardian Dan Sheng Temple.

Xia Zhen looked at Meng Qingyao: "The Holy Guards are dedicated to protecting the safety of the Holy Land. We have people at the Genmen Pass and Zhenmen Pass of the Nine Netherworld. You should make good use of these hundred Holy Guard Tokens as soon as possible."

There was a pause.

"The Holy Guard is a legitimate Holy Land Guard. With this hundred-strong Holy Guard, our control over the Department of Medicine will definitely increase significantly."

Meng Qingyao paused for a moment: "Dan Yuan Peak is the main peak, so Hua Changxi definitely has more Saint Protection Tokens than we do. Also, she should have obtained a Saint Pill when the Pill Cauldron Altar appeared last time."

Hearing this, Xia Zhen laughed: "Even if she has a lot of Guardian Orders, she still needs to recruit the right people."

"The spiritual energy revival is not just happening in the human world, but also in the Nine Netherworlds. The spiritual energy has been slowly reviving for a long time, even before the founding of the Great Jin Dynasty."

"Although the nine gates guarding the Demon Prison were established by the human race, the Nine Netherworlds were revived even earlier than the human world. Over the years, they have long been infiltrated and even seized by the native demon races, ghost races, and soul cultivators of the Nine Netherworlds. The nine gates are no longer under the control of the human race."

"The current nine checkpoints are extremely complex."

"When the Yellow Springs Road connecting the human world and the Netherworld was opened, the members of the guardian families went down to the Netherworld, and many of them died or were injured. It took a lot of effort to establish strongholds at the nine checkpoints."

"Hua Changxi is a powerless and insignificant girl. She probably doesn't even know the true situation of the nine checkpoints, let alone recruit the demon-suppressing guards in the checkpoints."

Xia Zhen paused, then looked at Meng Qingyao: "Now that the Protectorate Tokens have appeared, you'll have to find ways to acquire as many as possible in the future."

"The Guardians of the Holy Land safeguard the safety and order of the Holy Land. They are the enforcers and maintainers of the Holy Land's order. The more they control, the more stable their position and the greater their influence."

Meng Qingyao was somewhat discouraged: "I obtained this Saint Pill by imitating Hua Changxi. How can I obtain another Saint Pill?"

Xia Zhen paused for a moment, but quickly added, "Hua Changxi's actions are not without reason. Every time she causes a big commotion, in essence, she is pushing for the revival of the Holy Land." "We just need to act in this direction."

After hearing this, Meng Qingyao seemed to be deep in thought.

At the summit of Danyuan Peak, Hua Changxi witnessed Gu Xing and Meng Qingyao erecting a monument at the foot of the mountain, and also saw that they had both obtained a Saint Pill.

However, at this moment, her mind was not on the sacred pill, but on other things.

When Dan Yuan Peak appeared, she not only received the character 'Yuan', but the branches of the divine tree also emitted green light, merging the oath monument and the entire mountain into one.

All of this indicates that the name of Danyuan Peak cannot be changed, and her position as peak master cannot be replaced unless the Divine Tree takes back the character 'Yuan'.

However, neither Gu Xing's Shenhe Peak nor Meng Qingyao's Qingyao Peak received the "green certification" from Shenmu.

Hua Changxi wondered if the two mountain steles with their names engraved on them were removed and replaced with other names, would the two mountain peaks then be renamed?

In other words, the names of these two mountains can be changed at will.

If the name of a mountain peak can be changed, then can the peak master also be changed to someone else?
If that's the case, then her Danyuan Peak, Gu Xing's Shenhe Peak, and Meng Qingyao's Qingyao Peak are not on the same level.

The name of Danyuan Peak cannot be changed, and she, as the peak master of Danyuan Peak, cannot be changed at will. When the Holy Land is fully restored in the future, does that mean that she will also be considered an elder of the Dansheng Hall?
Thinking this, Hua Changxi's eyes sparkled with a smile, her mood was quite bright. Ignoring the two newly appeared mountain peaks, she flashed into the Dan Yuan Secret Realm.

Now that she has nearly a thousand apprentices, she needs to hurry up and refine the first-grade Yuanling Pill.

"Neither Shenhe Peak nor Qingyao Peak is as good as Danyuan Peak!"

Knowing that Gu Xing and Meng Qingyao were going to follow Hua Changxi's example today, the other secret realm masters all arrived at the square early to watch and see what would happen.

When I saw Shenhe Peak and Qingyao Peak, I was shocked to see that they were not only shorter than Danyuan Peak, but also less majestic.

Xia Ziyang's expression was somewhat unpleasant: "Hua Changxi's Dan Yuan Secret Realm is an eighth-grade secret realm."

The other secret realm masters' expressions fluctuated upon hearing this.

If judged by the grade of the secret realm, then Hua Changxi should be the top secret realm master!
Mu Qingying sighed inwardly, just as her master had said, once you reach a certain level, the competition is no longer solely based on individual strength.

Among all the secret realm masters, Hua Changxi is undoubtedly the strongest in terms of personal strength, yet she, as the head of the secret realm masters, has been excluded from the Spirit Realm Pavilion.

After a moment of silence, Yan Qianying spoke with a serious expression: "It seems that the size of the mountain peak is directly related to the grade of the secret realm."

Shenhe Peak and Qingyao Peak are one-fifth shorter than Danyuan Peak, so the peaks they obtain will only be smaller.

The three high-level secret realm masters each received a mountain peak, and everyone else looked at Yan Qianying.

"Fellow Daoist Yan, your secret realm is a fifth-grade one, which is above ours. Would you like to summon your mountain today?"

Yan Qianying: "Of course." Even if he got a smaller mountain, he would still be very much looking forward to it.

Hua Changxi spent a considerable amount of time crafting the oath tablet, devising the oath text, and formulating the conditions and benefits for recruiting apprentices.

Other realm masters followed her example, and with the support of their respective forces, they spent two days creating the oath monument and the apprentice recruitment process.

Yan Qianying, along with hundreds of direct descendants of the Dong'an Prince's Mansion, began to swear an oath of inner demons before the erected oath monument.

The next moment, Yan Qianying and the hundreds of people behind him were moved to a mountain peak that was lower than Shenhe Peak and Qingyao Peak.

Upon seeing this, the other secret realm masters sighed in unison.

"Hopefully, the mountain we reach won't be too small."

The other realm masters stopped dawdling and began to swear oaths of inner demons with their own loyal followers.

However, an unexpected change occurred.

None of the masters of the fourth-grade and third-grade secret realms summoned the mountain peaks.

"what happened?"

"Why hasn't a single mountain peak appeared?"

The masters of the secret realms immediately panicked.

"Is it because there aren't enough people coming to swear an oath against their inner demons?"

Each of the secret realm masters had a powerful backer, and they quickly gathered another group of people to swear an oath, but unfortunately, no mountain appeared.

This made all the secret realm masters panic!
"What's going on here?"

Where did we go wrong?

Just as the masters of the secret realms were extremely anxious, Mu Qingying suddenly asked, "Could it be that only secret realms of the fifth rank or above can summon mountains?"

Upon hearing this, all the secret realm masters were dumbfounded.
