Chapter 643 - 350: Choosing a Spiritual Land (Part 2)
"However, so many years have passed, and many people have searched for the Chaos Secret Realm after obtaining this Spiritual Land without finding it. It should just be a rumor, right? Elder Li, just treat it as a story. Don’t have too many expectations about this matter." Qiu Yuanhong paused and said with a smile.
Qiu Yuanhong no longer believed in the existence of this Chaos Secret Realm. The two Daoist Monarchs of the Profound Celestial Sword Sect had personally inspected this place and found nothing to indicate a Secret Realm.
"Elder Qiu, can you take me to see those seven Dao Arrays?" Li Mu asked in a deep voice.
"Of course! Let’s go!" Qiu Yuanhong nodded with a smile, signaling the way.
Soon, the two of them were swiftly flying toward the direction of the Seven Gods Mountain.
Qiu Yuanhong led the way ahead, with Li Mu closely following behind.
They traversed between Spirit Peaks, the surrounding scenery quickly coming into view. Towering Spirit Peaks reaching the clouds, enveloped in Spirit Mist, lush greenery between the mountains, ancient trees touching the sky, the sound of birds and fragrance of flowers, as if a magnificent fairyland.
At the top of each Spirit Peak stood an Array Pillar, with complex and mysterious Array Patterns, seemingly containing the Heaven and Earth Ultimate Truth, giving a solemn and mysterious feeling.
Li Mu’s eyes shone with brilliance. This was not some Five Elements Seal Grand Array but rather an Array of Yin Yang Five Elements Spirit Gathering. Using the seven Spirit Peaks as the foundation, it gathered the Heaven and Earth Five Elements Spirit Qi and the Yin Yang Qi, forming an incomparably powerful Spirit Gathering Array.
Due to the years of erosion, the Array Patterns on these Array Pillars had faded, causing the Array Power to become loose. However, they still haven’t lost their function.
No wonder the Seven Gods Mountain gathered the attributes of Yin and Yang, Five Elements. The real reason is the effect of this Array of Yin Yang Five Elements Spirit Gathering, constantly drawing the Heaven and Earth Five Elements Spiritual Power and the Yin Yang Qi, altering the topographical structure and Spirit Vein orientation of the Seven Gods Mountain over thousands of years.
"Elder Li, what do you think of the Seven Gods Mountain?" Qiu Yuanhong looked at Li Mu and asked with concern.
"Not bad. If there were no risk of the Chaos Secret Realm here, I would cultivate in this Spiritual Land!" Li Mu nodded quickly and decided.
The Spirit Veins of the Seven Gods Mountain, along with the attributes of Spiritual Power, perfectly complemented the Yin Yang Five Elements Scripture Li Mu practiced. Each Spirit Mountain had its own Spiritual Power attribute, the terrain very unique, ideal for setting up the Primordial Spirit Array, specifically for cultivating corresponding Spirit Plants.
Li Mu took an immediate liking to this Spiritual Land, already mulling over how to arrange arrays and utilize several Spirit Mountains, planning the cultivation of Spirit Fields.
"Elder Li, you’re joking. If the Chaos Secret Realm truly existed, this Spiritual Land couldn’t be parceled out to you." Qiu Yuanhong laughed heartily as if he had heard a joke.
"Oh! Why?" Li Mu asked, puzzled.
Qiu Yuanhong restrained his smile, looked at Li Mu seriously, and said, "Elder Li, it seems you know nothing about the value of the Chaos Secret Realm. It’s related to the matter of achieving the Dao, and its importance cannot be overstated. If it truly exists, this Spiritual Land cannot be easily granted to you."
Li Mu sensed the seriousness and earnestness in Qiu Yuanhong’s words, realizing he wasn’t joking, thus feeling somewhat perplexed, not knowing exactly what the Chaos Secret Realm was that made it so vital.
"Elder Qiu, could you explain to me what exactly the Chaos Secret Realm is?" Li Mu asked sincerely.
Seeing Li Mu’s confused expression, Qiu Yuanhong was slightly amused but understood that although Li Mu was exceptionally talented, he knew very little about this world. Therefore, he decided to give Li Mu some hints.
"Elder Li, it seems you still have much to learn! However, what I can tell you is that the Chaos Secret Realm relates to the significant event of achieving the Dao. If you have time, you can visit our sect’s Scripture Pavilion to check the relevant books and understand the mysteries of the Chaos Secret Realm." Qiu Yuanhong said with a smile.
Li Mu appreciated Qiu Yuanhong’s goodwill, feeling grateful. He realized that Qiu Yuanhong didn’t directly answer his question, hoping that he would find the answer himself in the Scripture Pavilion.
"Thank you, Elder Qiu, for the reminder. I will visit the Scripture Pavilion." Li Mu nodded in gratitude.
Li Mu knew that his understanding of this world was still quite limited, and he needed to continually learn and explore. Besides the Chaos Secret Realm, there was much more knowledge he needed to understand and master.
"Elder Li, are you sure you want this Spiritual Land and won’t check other places?" Qiu Yuanhong asked with a gratified smile, confirming with Li Mu.
"Yes! Here it is." Li Mu confirmed.
"Very well, Elder Li, please give me your Elder Token. I will allocate this Spiritual Land to you now." Qiu Yuanhong nodded, requesting from Li Mu.
Upon hearing this, Li Mu quickly retrieved the Elder Token from the Nine Treasures Spirit Pearl and handed it over with both hands.
Qiu Yuanhong received the Elder Token, took out a larger Mother Order, combined the two, infused his Divine Sense, and manipulated it.
"Elder Li, the authority of this Spiritual Land of the Seven Gods Mountain now belongs to you." Qiu Yuanhong returned the Elder Token to Li Mu and further introduced and asked, "The Seven Gods Mountain spans 525 square miles, with 7 main peaks, 172 Little Spirit Mountains, and 32 Spirit Veins... Currently, this Spiritual Land of the Seven Gods Mountain is used by the disciples of the sect’s sub-sect Seven Profound Sect. Do you wish to accept them and become the Sect Master of the Seven Profound Sect?"
"Sub-sect Seven Profound Sect?" Li Mu took the Elder Token, puzzled, and asked.
"Yes!" Qiu Yuanhong nodded with a smile, continuing, "Let me introduce you to the promotion situation of our sect’s disciples! The Central State Spirit Realm is vast and boundless, with the Profound Celestial Sword Sect being the largest sect in the entire Central State Spirit Realm, dominating countless territories. To better manage the sect, we have separated the Outer Disciples to form the sect’s sub-sect, appointing the sect’s Steward Elders as the Sect Masters of the sub-sects to manage them personally."
As they traveled through the sky, Qiu Yuanhong introduced the organizational structure of the Profound Celestial Sword Sect to Li Mu.
With Qiu Yuanhong’s introduction, Li Mu gradually gained clarity and understood the organizational structure of the Profound Celestial Sword Sect.
The Profound Celestial Sword Sect’s influence is vast and boundless, with various Spiritual Lands and Spirit Mountains scattered across the entire Central State Spirit Realm. Such a large territory cannot be managed integrally. Therefore, three thousand Steward Elders became the Sect Masters of three thousand subordinate sects, sent below to act as a sect leader, managing Spiritual Lands and Spirit Mountains, providing auxiliary cultivation materials and outstanding talents for the Profound Celestial Sword Sect.
The three thousand subordinate sects are essentially the lifeblood machines of the Profound Celestial Sword Sect. These subordinate sects are distributed throughout the Central State Spirit Realm, each possessing a certain level of strength and influence. They cultivate and supply talents for the Profound Celestial Sword Sect, providing resources and support, becoming an important cornerstone for the continuous growth of the Profound Celestial Sword Sect.
...
"Elder Qiu, I’m not good at social interactions. Becoming a sect leader, I, I really find it difficult to take on such a great responsibility!" Li Mu couldn’t help but smile wryly, wanting to decline the task.
"Elder Li, the path of cultivation is long, how can one touch the Great Dao by burying one’s head in cultivation all day? In life, how can one exist without attachments? If you are not good at socializing, just show up occasionally. Without some helpers, how can you manage the entire Seven Gods Mountain alone?" Qiu Yuanhong looked at Li Mu, advising him kindly.
Upon hearing this, Li Mu furrowed his brows slightly, having to admit that what Qiu Yuanhong said made sense.
Although he had obtained the entire Seven Gods Mountain, it wasn’t without a cost. Such a large piece of Spiritual Land requires a certain amount of Sect Contribution annually. While Li Mu could earn these contributions through Array Formation tasks and Artifact Refining tasks, relying on himself alone would be exhausting.
If there were a group of people at his disposal to exploit and manage Seven Gods Mountain well, there might even be an extra profit!
"Elder Li, let it be settled then. If there’s anything you don’t understand, don’t hesitate to come to me for guidance." Qiu Yuanhong looked at Li Mu, persuading again.
"Alright!" Li Mu reluctantly agreed.
"Haha, that’s the way! Let me tell you about the Seven Profound Sect..." Qiu Yuanhong laughed heartily, introducing the situation of the Seven Profound Sect to Li Mu.
The two conversed as they traveled through the sky, passing through several Spirit Peaks, finally arriving at the core area of the seven main peaks of the Seven Gods Mountain.
On the seven main peaks of the Seven Gods Mountain, magnificent palatial buildings were built, resplendent and magnificent, imposing, giving a solemn and mysterious feeling.
Qiu Yuanhong brought Li Mu down to a main peak’s plaza, a vast area where many cultivators were gathered for cultivation. Around the plaza were many stalls filled with various wondrous Spiritual Objects and Cultivation Manuals.
