Am I the only good person in this cultivation world?

Looking out, beneath the bamboo boat stretched a vast, deep blue lake, so expansive that Yao Han couldn't immediately tell whether it was a lake or a boundless ocean.

The sky was clear and blue, the clouds were like gauze, the water and sky blended into one color, and the lake shimmered.

Above the secluded waters, pavilions and terraces sway in the breeze, lotus flowers and green branches dance in the wind; beneath the vast sky, islands and strange mountains rise, connected by silver chains and jade corridors.

A crane's cry rises from the east; looking up, one sees roc and egret circling the clouds. Three waterfalls cascade down into the western forest; listening closely, one hears the crashing of rocks on the cliffs sound like thunder.

The most eye-catching feature is the six or seven flying islands suspended in the sky.

One of them is the largest, housing a magnificent palace, while the other islands surround it, encircling the main island like stars around the moon.

Surprisingly, in this vast blue sky, only the area above the main hall was pitch black, with a bright moon hanging in the center, as clear as a mirror and pure white!

Gazing at the boundless pool and the bright moon in the sky, Yao Han felt a surge of emotion, her eyes welling up with tears.

Since embarking on the path of cultivation, more than a hundred years have passed in a flash. My youthful aspiration for a great sect has finally been realized today!

What greets you is not only this magnificent scenery, but also an extremely rich spiritual energy of heaven and earth!

Yao Han took a gentle breath and immediately felt refreshed, her pores opened, and every inch of her skin was being bathed in spiritual energy.

Alan's reaction was even more exaggerated. With each breath, the magical power in his body surged and swayed like a raging river, as if he wanted to break through the bottleneck on the spot!

Yao Han and Lin Caichi turned around together and gently patted Lan'er's shoulder, which slowly calmed down the restless magic power in her body.

"As expected of someone with dual spiritual roots, just a little stimulation from this spiritual energy and they're already showing signs of a breakthrough!"

Lin Caichi sighed in admiration, scrutinizing Ai Lan before turning his gaze to Yao Han:

"Fellow Daoist Yao's magical power seems to be much more profound than that of an ordinary ninth-level cultivator. You two siblings are truly interesting."

Yao Han was not annoyed that his background had been exposed; he simply clasped his hands in a fist salute and responded with a smile.

"Senior flatters me. What I cultivate is merely the most basic Five Elements Technique, the Blazing Light Technique. However, this Blazing Light Technique was improved by Senior You Tian, ​​which may be why my magical power is slightly stronger than that of other cultivators of the same level."

"Oh? There's such a thing. Among the cultivators who came with Senior You Tian's jade token before, many of them were practicing basic techniques, but it seems that you are the first one to have such attainments. It seems that your talent is not limited to your spiritual root aptitude. This is truly enviable."

"Senior, your words are truly unbelievable. How can my meager skills compare to yours? I have always heard that Shuiyue Palace is the leader of the six sects of Dongling, but today I understand the saying that seeing is believing. The grandeur of this palace is truly awe-inspiring. We are newcomers and know very little about the palace's structure. We hope that you can enlighten us."

Yao Han abruptly changed the subject, steer the conversation elsewhere.

Lin Caichi smiled upon hearing this:

"No problem."

"We are going to the main hall in the center of the island, which is also the council hall of our sect and the place where my master... oh, the sect leader, handles daily affairs."

The bamboo boat passed through a covered walkway surrounded by lotus leaves, and the emerald light swept across it, leaving ripples on the water.

"On the other flying islands besides the main island, there are other important departments and offices within the sect, such as the Thousand Machine Hall, the Discipline Department, the Good Deeds Pavilion, the Ancestral Master Hall, the Star Gazing Platform, the Dharma Performance Ground, the Transmission Hall, and so on, each in charge of different areas."

Lan'er had been circulating her magic on the boat for half a day, and now she finally calmed down. She stood up and looked at each of the places Lin Caichi pointed to, her bright eyes sparkling with wonder.

"As for the Dan Ding Hall, the Spirit Beast Garden, the Bao Guang Pavilion, the Sutra Repository, etc., they are located among the islands below Fei Yu."

Yao Han also kept her eyes glued to the spot, carefully memorizing each location.

"Most of the sect's disciples and stewards usually stay in this area. Besides that, there are the 'Five Peaks and Twelve Isles'."

"Five peaks and twelve islets?" Ailan repeated.

"Um."

Lin Caichi nodded slowly:

"The five peaks are Jixing Peak, Shenmu Peak, Yunze Peak, Jingtian Peak, and Jinli Peak. The five Supreme Elders of my Shuiyue Palace live on these five peaks, and the peak names are their names."

Yao Han nodded almost imperceptibly; he had also heard of the names of these five Nascent Soul cultivators.

These people were all old monsters who had been famous long before he embarked on his path of cultivation. Among them, "Daoist Jingtian" had already entered the mid-Nascent Soul stage a hundred years ago, making him one of the strongest in the entire Eastern Ridge.

"The Twelve Isles are Flying Clouds, Hidden Stars, Forked Light, Deep Dew, Wandering Sky, Lotus Sword, Shengxiao, Summer Frost, Burial Dust, Zikun, Thousand Thoughts, and Burning Bamboo."

"These twelve islands represent the twelve lineages within the Water Moon Palace. Apart from You Tian, ​​who is currently without a successor, the other eleven islands are all guarded by Core Formation Realm experts, who are the backbone of our sect."

"Among them, the most outstanding are Feixia and Yinxing. Not only do these two islands have two Core Formation cultivators, but Senior Yingxi of Feixia Island and Elder Chenhuan of Yinxing Island are both late Core Formation cultivators, only one step away from forming a Nascent Soul."

Yao Han rubbed his chin, recalling how Fang Tingyu had introduced herself as a disciple of Feixia Island when she introduced herself at the Dharma performance platform in Jiuyin Market.

And He Muran, the one-in-a-million Heavenly Spirit Root mentioned by Zhang Yi, is also a person from Feixia Island.

So these two are actually fellow disciples.

"However, while these two islands are currently enjoying great popularity, it does not mean that the traditions of other islands are not strong. My Shuiyue Palace has existed in Dongling for thousands of years, and every tradition has its unique characteristics. When you two make your choice, you should carefully consider it. Reputation is important, but what suits you best is better."

Yao Han blinked. Although Lin Caichi's words were well-intentioned, he could detect a hint of making amends.

Before he could even speak, Alan asked him the question he wanted to know:

"I wonder which island Senior Brother Lin is from?"

Lin Caichi smiled kindly at Ai Lan:

"I, Lin, am a disciple of Wu Buyi, the Master of Still Water on Qiguang Island. My master is the current head of Shuiyue Palace."

Oh?

Just as we finished saying that Feixia and Yinxing were the top contenders, the position of sect leader actually fell to the Qiguang lineage.

It seems there are other tricks to this.

"Senior Brother Lin, may I ask what the specific lineages represented by these twelve islands are? Could you please explain them briefly so that my brother and I can have a better understanding?"

"These twelve inheritances... I can't explain them clearly in a short time. Actually, you should be able to get a glimpse from their names. For example, Lotus Sword Island is a sword-based inheritance, Thousand Thoughts Island teaches spiritual cultivation techniques, and my Qiguang Island uses the myriad spiritual lights of the world to enter the Dao."

As he spoke, Lin Caichi smiled freely:

"Actually, you two can rest assured about the island selection. With your talents, you don't need to worry about how to choose—I guess the elders in the sect are already impatient to wait."

"Please disembark, we have arrived."
