Cultivation begins with harvest.

Chapter 241 The Secret of Tianheng Plain

"Once you successfully establish your foundation, you'll understand after flying along the boundless purple mist for a few years." Daoist Fusong didn't intend to explain further. The boundless purple mist is a special phenomenon that exists around the Qingheng Sect. Anyone who tries to enter it will lose their way and can only get out after becoming exhausted. It has always been considered a barrier for the Qingheng Sect.

It was only at this point that Chen Guang realized he had not truly understood the extent of the boundless purple mist. He had only heard that the two closest peaks of the Qingheng Sect were thousands of miles apart, but did Tianheng Plain really need to be so far away that it required the use of the Migration Corridor?

Master Fusong led Chen Guang towards the central stone path. Each stone slab floated in mid-air, slightly descending as one walked on it and slowly rising back to its original height after leaving. This led them through numerous pavilions and towers, leaving Senior Brother He behind: "From now on, you can entrust He Jing with any unnecessary matters. This is his job in the Earth Hall."

Chen Guang then turned around and saw that Senior Brother He was still in the same spot, piloting the Green Leaf Boat alone, watching the two of them leave.

"The Migration Corridor is also called the Migration Pathway. Compared to teleportation arrays that need to be restarted every time, the advantage of the Migration Corridor is that it connects two fixed, distant locations and maintains the teleportation effect continuously. Look at these pavilions and towers. In addition to the guards responsible for maintaining their operation, those huge buildings imprison second-tier demonic beasts with the power of the Universe Path. Almost every moment, they are contributing to maintaining the Migration Corridor. The Universe Pine alone cannot withstand this consumption, so it is very quiet here and it is difficult to encounter other people."

"Remember this path. This is the Xin-character migration corridor. To get to Tianheng Plain, you need to choose the far right at the first and third forks. That is, enter through the third fork and choose the middle one at the second fork. Just pay attention when you travel back and forth in the future. When you see the Chuqiao Mountains, you have flown past them. If you go the wrong way in the corridor, at most you will be blocked at the door."

Master Fusong led Chen Guang through the process of choosing the right intersection and how to enter the real Migration Corridor. The buildings mentioned earlier were merely structures for maintaining the system and were called "Building Fee Street." It was an unspoken rule that no fighting or making noise was allowed. As long as one's identity was correct, one could enter the corridor, which would automatically prevent unqualified cultivators from entering.

He walked along lightly until he stepped onto the wooden plank bridge. Only then did Chen Guang feel something was different. After taking one step, he was surrounded by clouds and mist. All he could see ahead was the long bridge made of wooden planks and iron chains.

"These are artifacts that only the Azure Artifact Stream can forge. Each plank here corresponds to a Yuanyu Pine. They are forged directly from them, and even after they are removed, they still maintain a connection, with the spiritual energy supplied by their own bodies. Therefore, the Migration Corridor is not afraid of damage. We just need to take good care of those Yuanyu Pine trees. Each plank covers ten miles," said Daoist Fusong.

Chen Guang looked at the wooden plank under his feet. The two planks were only four inches apart. Taking a step out of it corresponded to ten miles.

In silence, Chen Guang counted how many planks he had walked across, and there were a whopping 7,972 of them.

Tianheng Plain and Xingfeng Market are tens of thousands of miles apart?

You can't fly through the Skywalk, but you can walk down quickly. How long will it take to walk across thousands of wooden planks? It's still faster than actually flying tens of thousands of miles.

Emerging from the clouds, one finds a much smaller street, surrounded only by seventy-two flying rocks. The pavilions and towers are all closed, making it impossible to discern whether there are truly any second-tier Yu Dao demonic beasts within.

"Look." Fu Song Dao Ren led Chen Guang around a corner tower. As the clouds and mist cleared, they found themselves on the top of a green mountain. Looking out, amidst the swirling white clouds and mist, layer upon layer of clouds and mist covered the mountain peaks covered with lush green vegetation, which seemed to have been plunged down from the pass, stretching straight and slender towards the sky. Some of the mountains even had half of their completely exposed gray-white rock cliffs, filling the entire view with a strong sense of contrast.

"This is Tianheng Plain. It covers an area of ​​over six thousand miles. Every cultivator qualified to reside here can designate a hundred-mile radius as their own cave dwelling area. However, Qi Refining cultivators, just listen to this; you can't possibly oversee a hundred-mile radius. Some areas here are owned. Take this jade plate; it's a miniature view of the entire Tianheng Plain. You can see which areas are unclaimed." Daoist Fusong handed over a warm, smooth yellow jade. The center was as clear as a mirror, and the scene reflected in the mirror was exactly the same as the wonder before them. There were eleven areas covered in red, four pale yellow areas, and the rest were all white.

Chen Guang understood the principle as soon as he started: red meant the item had an owner; pale yellow meant it had been owned within the last thirty years; only white meant it was completely ownerless.

The area spans over 6,000 li, theoretically capable of accommodating more than 60 cultivators to choose their cave dwellings. However, in reality, the capacity may be somewhat limited. The area near the Migration Corridor is relatively well-maintained, forming a complete circle. But further outwards, the cultivators disperse, dividing the land into sections, which differs from the theoretical upper limit.

"What kind of place is Tianheng Plain?" Chen Guang asked, examining the jade plate and sensing the spiritual energy concentration here, which was ten times that of the outer sect.

Master Fusong paused for a moment before sighing, "These are the disciples of the Earth Hall with the most talent in spiritual plants in the past hundred years. Their talent in cultivation is not necessarily high. Sometimes, their talent in the various arts of immortal cultivation is not the same as their talent in cultivation. You are one of them. You have talent in this area, but your aptitude is poor. Otherwise, we would have placed you in the Chuqiao Mountains."

"Here, your spiritual talents can be fully utilized without being wasted on cultivation. The richness of spiritual energy here is something even Foundation Establishment cultivators crave. Moreover, it offers a sense of seclusion. Living here for about three years will add ten years to your lifespan. If you still cannot achieve Foundation Establishment, the sect will be powerless to help you. You must remember that for every person who gains ten years of lifespan in Tianyuan, Tianyuan shrinks by ten miles. To date, it is still more than 6,450 miles long and wide. This opportunity is very significant."

Chen Guang was shocked. The sect had actually thought this far. It could add ten years to one's lifespan, and that was an opportunity that would be consumed once used. Not to mention how abundant the resources would be if there were a cave dwelling here.

"This disciple still has a question, please enlighten me, Daoist." Chen Guang bowed and asked, only straightening up after Daoist Fusong nodded, "The Purple Spirit Peak I saw in the outer sect was countless thousands of feet high, visible from hundreds of miles away. There has always been a saying that Purple Spirit Peak is part of a mountain range, but that Purple Spirit Peak cannot be faked. Today, having arrived in Tianyuan, I still do not know what Purple Spirit Peak truly looks like. Is this?"

Master Fusong stroked his beard: "So that's what it is. Even if you hadn't asked, the people of Xiantang would have told you. Look at the bow of your flying boat; that position is equivalent to the location of Ziling Peak among the peaks. It's more than ten thousand ren high! The so-called Ziling Peak mountains are actually hidden behind it, cleverly concealed by the One Cave Heaven Formation. The outer gate and Xiangtian Slope are the closest places to the bow outside the flying boat. The Chuqiao Mountains are behind Ziling Peak, so after Xiangtian Slope, can you fly over Ziling Peak on your own? You'll definitely need to use the Sky-Moving Corridor."

Could it be that the foot of Ziling Peak is tens of thousands of miles wide?

There are also grotto-heaven formations?

Chen Guang's eyes widened.

Master Fusong said with a hint of sarcasm, "The Migration Corridor is ten miles per plank, but I forgot to tell you, how many miles is the first floor of Loufei Street, and how many miles is one step? Do you really think that just Yuan Yusong can operate so many stable universe passages? Knowing too much about some things will only disturb your mind. I've said enough. Have you chosen a place for your cave dwelling? We can't delay any longer. I also need magic power to maintain my True Peak."

Chen Guang quickly put aside his thoughts, but some lingering regrets still lingered: the endless purple mist meant that the distance to the other peak was definitely more than a few thousand miles; the Purple Spirit Peak was so vast and imposing, and he didn't know what kind of terrain it was. He thought he had clearly seen what the Qingheng Sect was, but now, looking at it, the thick fog covering the Qingheng Sect was even thicker than he had imagined.

The sect's power is so formidable; as a disciple, I am honored to share in it.
