Chapter 376 Observing the Mountain and Comprehending the Dao
Yu Huan Continent, Central Region, Mount Taihua, is covered with strange rocks. Its majestic peaks rise over ten thousand feet high, suppressing the earth's veins below and soaring into the clouds above. It is the number one sacred mountain in the Central Region. Centered on this sacred mountain, eight huge branches have emerged, each of which is a large third-order spiritual vein. These branches have further differentiated, giving rise to spiritual peaks, spiritual lakes, and spiritual islands.

Among them, Lingfeng Town is located in the ground, and Lingdao Island floats in the air. They are like satellites, jointly guarding Taihua Mountain and forming the mountain gate of the Taixu Wuchang Dao Sect.

At a certain moment, a whale's roar resounded, the void was opened up, and an ancient whale carried the spirit boat.

After the outer clouds and mist were separated, and after passing through the invisible array, Jiang Chen truly entered the sect. The magnificent scenery of the Wuchang Sect was presented before him. Here, the spiritual energy was extremely rich, turning into spiritual mist that filled the mountains and fields. Looking down from above, the entire mountain gate seemed to stand in a boundless sea of ​​clouds, appearing ethereal.

"Is this Mount Taihua?"

On the spirit boat, the view was immediately dominated by Mount Taihua, and ripples spread across Jiang Chen's heart.

Although he had not yet gotten really close, he could already feel the immense power of Mount Taihua. The mountain stood there as if it had fixed the world in place.

Sensing the fluctuations in Jiang Chen's mind, the figure of Daoist Yuan Gang quietly appeared.

"That's right, this is Mount Taihua, the location of the Wuchang Sect's mountain gate. Although Mount Taihua is now majestic and seems like a pillar supporting the sky, it was just an ordinary spiritual mountain a long time ago."

With the image of Mount Taihua reflected in his eyes and a hint of melancholy on his face, Daoist Yuangang recounted the past of Mount Taihua.

Long ago, Mount Taihua was not what it is today. It was just an ordinary spiritual mountain. Although it had some spiritual beauty, it was not particularly special. It was only later that the Wuchang Sect moved to Yuhuan Continent and chose this mountain. They used great methods to gather the earth's energy. Through the continuous refinement by generations of Purple Mansion and Celestial Phenomenon cultivators, it rose one zhang higher each day, resulting in the magnificent scenery we see today.

In the past, the first sacred mountain of Yu Huan Continent should have been Qingming Mountain. As its name suggests, the mountain goes straight into the azure sky. Although it is not as majestic as Taihua Mountain, it has an ethereal and otherworldly quality, which is extraordinary. It is said that by passing through this mountain, one can break through the heavens and escape to the outer realms. It has always been occupied by the Yu Clan, led by the Lei Peng Clan.

Until five hundred years ago, when the human and demon races fought a great war, the Lei Peng clan was destroyed, and Qingming Mountain was broken, Taihua Mountain truly replaced Qingming Mountain and became the number one sacred mountain in Yu Huan Continent.

Of course, the collapse of Qingming Mountain had a great impact. The earth's veins shattered, and the celestial phenomena were turbulent. The reason why Yu Huan Continent was trapped in a low spiritual energy state for five hundred years was largely due to the collapse of Qingming Mountain. To this day, there is still a huge hole in Qingming Mountain, which continues to generate void turbulence, turning the original sacred mountain and blessed land into an extremely dangerous place.

Once trapped, not only the Purple Palace (a concept in Chinese astrology) could be in danger, but even celestial phenomena could be perilous.

Hearing this, and looking at Taihua again, Jiang Chen had a different feeling. In a daze, he seemed to see a small mountain that, under the erosion of time, went through all kinds of tribulations, and grew continuously, eventually achieving the appearance of supporting the sky.

"The majestic Mount Taihua possesses boundless power."

As the spirit of Taihua entered his heart, Jiang Chen suddenly entered a state of clarity. In that instant, his mind seemed to transform into a divine mountain.

This change was immediately noticed by Daoist Yuan Gang.

"He actually had an epiphany at this moment, but I wonder what he's come to understand."

Yuan Gang Daoist's gaze fell on Jiang Chen, and he became somewhat interested.

Mount Taihua was created by the powerful cultivators of the Wuchang Sect through their supernatural abilities, naturally containing many traces of true Dao principles. While it appears to be a sacred mountain, it is essentially a reflection of the Wuchang Sect's cultivation methods. In the past, some disciples have gained enlightenment by observing Mount Taihua, receiving some inheritances from it. In a sense, this can be considered a glimmer of opportunity left to future generations by the Wuchang Sect's predecessors.

As the ancient whale roamed freely through the void, many eyes gathered at the foot of Mount Taihua. Mount Taihua possessed immense power, and the surrounding void had long been suppressed. Those who could directly open up the void and appear here must be high-ranking members of the sect.

"But we don't know which Purple Mansion Immortal has returned from his travels."

"Could it be that an elder has returned from gathering disciples outside? Quite a few things like that have happened recently. The sect has been closed for five hundred years, and it really needs new blood to replenish itself. I heard that in order to continue the lineage, the sect left behind many branches outside."

As the ancient whale cruised closer and closer to Mount Taihua, the crowd began to discuss it animatedly.

As everyone was discussing, Mount Taihua in Jiang Chenyu's mind became more and more vivid and concrete. In that instant, the originally restrained and majestic spirituality of Mount Taihua was suddenly stirred, and a divine will naturally entered Jiang Chenyu's heart.

As this divine intent descended, the Taihua Mountain that Jiang Chen had originally envisioned collapsed, leaving only a huge boulder. However, at this moment, this ordinary boulder truly possessed the grandeur of Taihua Mountain; it was not merely a resemblance in form but a resemblance in spirit.

At that very moment, a strange method was imprinted in Jiang Chen's heart.

As the teachings entered his mind, Jiang Chen's mind was instantly overwhelmed, and all sorts of principles began to unfold within him.

At the same time, the mountain shook as if a bell was ringing, and the spiritual energy within Mount Taihua surged. A resounding bell rang throughout the entire Wuchang Sect's mountain gate, and the moment they heard this bell, figures emerged from their own caves.

"Mount Taihua has moved. What's going on?"

"Could it be that someone has truly comprehended the fundamental secret technique from Mount Taihua? Who is it? Which newly initiated disciple is it? Such talent promises a bright future."

As their spiritual senses collided, the once peaceful and tranquil Wuchang Sect suddenly became bustling with activity, as each of the Purple Mansion True Persons began searching for the source of the disturbance at Mount Taihua.

Mount Taihua is extraordinary. Cultivators who can comprehend the fundamental secrets within it must possess unique qualities. Most importantly, Mount Taihua contains methods left behind by powerful figures from the Wuchang Sect. Only disciples who have entered the sect within the last ten years have the potential to comprehend the Dao from these methods.

Once ten years have passed, the disciple's aura will be tainted by Mount Taihua, and there will be no more opportunities for enlightenment. If they wish to obtain various extraordinary methods, they can only do so by following the sect's formal procedures.

Naturally, many people in the sect would be interested in such a disciple.

In fact, at the moment when Mount Taihua shook, not only the many spiritual peaks and islands, but even the three main halls located on Mount Taihua lowered their gazes.

Under such circumstances, Jiang Chen's figure was naturally captured quickly, but after seeing Yuan Gang Daoist standing next to Jiang Chen, the enthusiasm in everyone's hearts immediately dissipated.
