At the age of one hundred, I inquired about the Dao, awakening the supreme spiritual root that shatt

The disciple guarding the mountain gate led Ling Xiu into the Xuan Yang Sect, taking out a communication talisman to inform the elders.

Before long, an elder dressed in the robes of a sect elder and with the cultivation level of the Profound Realm flew over.

After he verified the Xuan Yang Token and confirmed Ling Xiu's identity, he was extremely respectful and polite.

"Elder Li, the Sect Master already knew of your arrival today and specifically instructed that upon your arrival, you should be led directly to Xuan Yang Peak, where the main hall of our Xuan Yang Sect is located!"

Ling Xiu nodded slightly and followed the elder into the sect.

Only now did he truly feel the profound and powerful aura of this top-tier sect.

The spiritual energy within the sect is far richer than that outside.

Strange peaks rise one after another, streams murmur, countless pavilions and towers are built against the mountain, and cranes soar in the sky, their clear cries seeming to come to welcome him.

Many disciples flew through the air on their magical artifacts. In the center of the sect was a huge white jade plaza where many disciples were exchanging techniques.

The air was filled with the grandeur of a celestial sect, a stark contrast to the perilous and life-or-death environment of the outside world.

This place is peaceful and serene, exuding an ethereal, otherworldly atmosphere.

The main peak of Xuan Yang is even more magnificent and grand, serving as the residence of the sect leader.

Sect Master Nangong Xun is already a powerful figure in the late stage of the Profound Realm. He appears to be a middle-aged scholar, with an elegant demeanor and unfathomable depth of knowledge.

It seems that Feng Qingyang sent the message in advance, and he already knew that Ling Xiu was coming and that he had achieved the ninth-order Golden Core.

"Junior Brother Li, welcome to my Xuan Yang Sect!"

Nangong Xun took the initiative to introduce himself, with a gentle smile and a friendly demeanor.

"My senior brother Feng Qingyang has already sent me a message, detailing your past."

It's unbelievable! My junior brother is a once-in-a-millennium genius. Meeting him today, he is indeed handsome and outstanding.

To have reached the Profound Realm and condensed a ninth-order Golden Core at such a young age, and to be appointed as an honored elder of our sect, is truly a great fortune for the sect.

Seeing the other party's courteous treatment, Ling Xiu quickly bowed and replied humbly.

"Sect Leader, you flatter me."

"Junior Brother, it is truly a great fortune that you were able to enter the Xuan Yang Sect. I hope Senior Brother will offer you much guidance in the future."

Inside the main hall of the main peak are several other elders, all of whom are important figures in the sect.

Nangong Xun introduced everyone to Ling Xiu one by one.

After exchanging pleasantries for a while, Nangong Xun ordered someone to take Ling Xiu to obtain the exclusive identity jade tablet for the elder and register it in his Daoist record.

He was also given a jade slip containing information about the sect's rules, a map of the entire sect, and the powers and responsibilities of the elders.

Elder Ling Xuan, who was in charge of the explanation, spoke up.

"Elder Li, the elder can settle on Lingshan Peak."

This place is serene and tranquil, filled with spiritual energy. It is adjacent to the residences of the elders, so I can often discuss and exchange ideas with them in the future.

After saying that, he handed over another jade slip.

"The jade slip contains a complete set of array formations and matching array flags. Junior brothers can set up the cave's restrictions themselves."

As an honored elder, the monthly allowance is 1,200 spirit stones and 1,000 sect contribution points.

Junior disciples can also go to the Hall of Affairs to accept sect missions and exchange them for more cultivation resources.

Furthermore, junior disciples are free to browse the sect's scripture library, but the fourth level of the forbidden area is off-limits.

Elder Ling Xuan was humble and clearly intended to befriend a promising junior like Ling Xiu.

"Junior Brother Li, I heard that you have just broken through to the Profound Realm. I suppose you do not yet have a magic weapon suitable for your current level."

"Senior brother has something here to give you. Junior brother, if you don't mind, please accept it."

As soon as he finished speaking, a low-grade Xuan-level Crimson Sky Sword was handed to Ling Xiu.

Lingxuan Daoist looked at the mysterious spiritual light flowing around the sword and laughed heartily. This sword had accompanied him for half his life and was of extraordinary quality.

"Thank you for your kindness, Senior Brother Ling Xuan. I would be impolite to refuse!"

Ling Xiu readily accepted the Crimson Sky Sword, sincerely thanked it, and could not hide his joy.

I never expected that I would receive such a precious magical artifact as a gift so soon after joining the Xuan Yang Sect.

He carefully sheathed the Crimson Sky Sword, bid farewell to Elder Lingxuan, and then, guided by a disciple, headed towards Spirit Mountain Peak.

Lingshan Peak is located in the back mountain of Xuanyang Sect, with abundant spiritual energy and an excellent location.

Not far from the other peaks, the sect's nine peaks are: Weiyu Peak, Xixuan Peak, Qingxuan Peak, Chixuan Peak, Luofu Peak, Qushan Peak, Lingshan Peak, Cangshan Peak, and the main peak, Xuanyang Peak.

Senior Brother Ling Xuan, whom we just spoke to, resides on West Xuan Peak and is also the peak master of West Xuan Peak.

The peaks are several miles apart, facing each other from afar, so that in case of an accident, all parties can rush to the rescue immediately.

Each mountain peak is shrouded in a protective array, with spiritual light descending upon it, ensuring that the peaks do not interfere with each other.

Before long, Ling Xiu arrived at the foot of Ling Mountain Peak.

He used the Xuan Yang Token to decipher the protective formation of the peak, and the beautiful mountains and rivers, mountain springs and waterfalls came into view, a pleasant scene that soothed his mind and spirit.

Deep within the mountain stands a large cave, with a spacious interior and all kinds of supporting facilities.

The room is fully equipped with an alchemy room, a weapon-refining room, a spirit beast enclosure, and a spirit herb garden, all of which can be customized to his liking.

Ling Xiu was very satisfied with his residence.

He first set up the Xuan-level array recorded in the jade slip throughout the entire Lingshan Peak. This array is both offensive and defensive, and can draw upon the Qi of Gangsha to defend against enemies. If any external enemy attacks, it can spontaneously unleash Gangsha Qi to strike the attacker.

In addition, he layered and set up various restrictions that he was proficient in.

After all the formations and barriers were activated, the entire Spirit Mountain Peak was isolated from the outside world, but the flow of spiritual energy was not hindered in the slightest, and the safety of the dwelling was greatly improved.

"From now on, this will be my place of long-term cultivation and peaceful settlement!"

Ling Xiu was filled with excitement, and his heart, which had been hanging in suspense, was finally at ease.

With the main peak at his back, Lingshan Peak was safe and secure, and with elders guarding the surrounding area, he was finally able to lower his guard and calmly plan his future cultivation path.

He sat cross-legged in the quiet room, his mind racing with thoughts.

"I have already entered the Profound Realm, and I can steadily cultivate the Profound Chapter of the True Scripture of Longevity. I just need to steadily improve my cultivation level."

In terms of combat strength, I still need to find a few superior spells that suit me.

The magical artifacts and techniques he used in the past could still exert considerable power in the Condensing Truth Realm, but now that he has entered the Profound Realm, he urgently needs a personal supernatural power to match his current cultivation level.

The Crimson Sky Sword is good, but it is far from enough.

"It seems I need to go to the Scripture Pavilion to seek out profound Taoist techniques and then personally refine a few unique magical artifacts."

He immediately focused his consciousness into the jade slip in his hand, flipping through the relevant records in the Scripture Pavilion to see what Xuan-level techniques he could exchange for with his current contribution points.
