Immortal and Martial Dual Cultivation Chapter 1669

Chapter 1669 (Raw 1681): Arrival at Last

The s.h.i.+p continued towards the Black Cave Mountain.

After seeing Xiao Chen's strength, all those self-important branch elites, who originally were unwilling to interact with him, started to try to befriend him.

Aside from Leng Yuan, who was also a bladesman, Xiao Chen had no interest in the others. Instead, he chose to remain in closed-door cultivation for these days.

Three days later, the s.h.i.+p pa.s.sed through an invisible barrier. The ambient Spiritual Energy suddenly changed.

Everyone felt like they had entered a strange s.p.a.ce. Many disciples on the deck could not stand stably, swaying left and right.

The pure and dense Spiritual Energy from the blessed land was everywhere, applying heavy pressure.

Xiao Chen's physique already reached the level of a Major Primal Core Venerate. Furthermore, he had the Azure Dragon bloodline. After adapting a little, he felt extremely comfortable; it was like encountering a spring wind.

As for the others, they were slightly flushed, clearly finding this hard to bear.

These people would need some time to adjust to the environment. After all, the level of s.p.a.ce and the Spiritual Energy contained in the blessed land were vastly different.

Xiao Chen looked around. This somewhat strange place had dark blue skies, looking like a sapphire. It had a dreamy beauty to it.

The strangest thing was that the seawater below the s.h.i.+p was clear and transparent. It had become ordinary seawater.

No, this water was even more transparent than ordinary seawater, replete with Spiritual Energy. The fish in the water seemed to abound with Immortal Qi, very similar to the Immortal fish that Xiao Chen once saw.

Every single blade of gra.s.s and every tree gave off a faint Daoist Immortal Qi. When one looked around, it felt like everything here was filled with intelligence.

After the elite disciples of the various branches adjusted somewhat, they all revealed excited expressions.

Everything seemed different in the blessed land. The gra.s.s and trees, the tiles and bricks, the buildings, and the level of s.p.a.ce were all stronger than in the outside world.

Elder Liu walked out from the hold and reminded the elite disciples with a blank face, "Don't just look around. Take the time to regulate your energy and quickly get used to the blessed land."

The others all sorted out their emotions and closed their eyes, sitting down cross-legged to regulate their energies.

Xiao Chen did not feel any discomfort. He boldly stood there and continued to look all around.

Everything about the blessed land shocked him. This place was like the description of heaven in his past life.

No wonder everyone fought for a chance to enter this place. The outstanding talents from the blessed lands also set their sights high and appeared very proud.

Back in the Pirate Hall, this was how Jiang Xuan and Ling Yu were.

Speaking of which, if Xiao Chen recalled right, Ling Yu was also from the Black Cave Mountain. However, he did not know which sect Ling Yu was in.

Elder Liu, who was across the deck from Xiao Chen, did not find this strange. He walked over and pointed to a peak in front. "That is our Purple Flame Sect's main peak.

"Behind that are several peaks, all secondary peaks to our main peak. The Rank 3 sects that can be stationed in this place hold two peaks of the Black Cave Mountain, at best. Our Purple Flame Sect has five, not including our main peak. These are the acc.u.mulations of a Rank 4 sect."

As Elder Liu spoke, he faintly radiated pride.

"The Rank 3 sects that can be stationed here are all among the peak of Rank 3 sects. However, compared to our Purple Flame Sect, they are not worth mentioning."

Xiao Chen looked around. Black Cave Mountain was an extremely vast mountain range in the sea. There was no pattern to its shape as if someone purposely made it so. The peaks were also very scattered.

Every peak had vast and pure Spiritual Energy spreading throughout them, moving in an endless cycle.

In fact, the summits of the peaks were covered in a dreamlike layer of Spiritual Energy fog, looking very majestic.

Xiao Chen's gaze paused and fixed on the peak that Elder Liu pointed to. He thought to himself, No wonder there are so many secondary peaks. It turns out to be one of the two main peaks.

"Which sect does the other main peak belong to?" he asked Elder Liu.

Elder Liu's expression changed slightly at that question. "It is the Divine Firmament Sect, the other Rank 4 sect of the Black Cave Mountain."

Xiao Chen understood some geomancy. The two main peaks were the center of the Black Cave Mountain, acting like huge pillars holding the sky up since ancient times, standing side by side in the world.

The peaks gave off boundless might. Even a Cloud Sea expert would not dare to barge into those peaks.

However, the ambiance of the two main peaks differed.

The Divine Firmament Sect's main peak had electric light soaring into the sky, emitting startling purple energy. There was also an air of blessing circulating above it.

The Purple Flame Sect's ambiance was slightly weaker. The Divine Firmament Sect probably held the upper hand in the compet.i.tion between these two sects in the past few years.

However, the difference was not really that great.

Within the blessed land, aside from the sea and mountain peaks, Xiao Chen also saw plenty of land and rivers in the distance.

Just at this moment, some of the spiritual fog around the Purple Flame Sect's main peak separated and formed a rainbow road stretching from far away to before the s.h.i.+p.

"Get on, then. That is the main sect's ushering light."

Everyone stepped onto the ushering light with excited expressions. Their bodies immediately floated into the air and started flying towards the Purple Flame Sect.

When the disciples of other sects saw this group being received by the ushering light, they all revealed envious expressions.

Only a Rank 4 sect, which occupied a main peak, could bring out the ushering light.

Although their sects were separated by just one rank, there was a world's difference.

After a while, the ushering light vanished, and the group landed at the foot of the main peak.

The sect's administrators had been standing by there for some time already.

"Elder Liu, I have been waiting for you for a long time," the red-clad administrator said as he stepped forward, appearing to be old friends with Elder Liu.

Elder Liu smiled and said, "Administrator He, you are too polite. These are the ones selected by the sect branches. They all have excellent potential and will bring new blood into the main sect."

"I hope so. The recent new-generation disciples of the Purple Flame Sect are not comparable to the Divine Firmament Sect's. I will arrange for them to join the outer sect first. As for the future, that will depend on themselves."

Elder Liu smiled in response. Then, he whispered some words into the red-clad administrator's ear.

The red-clad administrator's eyes lit up. As he looked at Xiao Chen, he showed a doubtful expression.

"Men! As usual, take care of these new disciples as always. Bring them to the Outer Affairs Office and let the outer sect Elders pick from them." The red-clad administrator issued instructions, and someone immediately came to take Yang Qing and the others away.

The red-clad administrator pointed at Xiao Chen as he ordered indifferently, "You stay behind."

As Yang Qing followed the person in front, she shot Xiao Chen a glance and sent a voice projection. The Fiendish Demon Battlefield will open in two months. I will use these two months to enter the inner sect. I hope you will not disappoint me.

One would be qualified to enter the Fiendish Demon Battlefield only by entering the inner sect.

These words expressed Yang Qing's worry that Xiao Chen could not enter the inner sect. In that case, she could only seek out someone else to work with, which would inevitably increase the risk.

Yang Qing hoped that Xiao Chen could enter the inner sect.

After she and the other branch disciples were far away, the red-clad administrator looked at Xiao Chen and said, "Show me your recommendation letter."

The red-clad administrator casually checked the letter. After verifying its authenticity, he stopped looking at it.

"Elder Liu told me of your talent. He guarantees that you do not need to be tested. In fact, he even asked me to ensure you enter the inner sect."

The red-clad administrator spoke slowly, addressing point by point.

Xiao Chen felt surprised. Unexpectedly, Elder Liu thought so highly of him.

"What do you think? If you agree to it, I will do that and directly send you into the inner sect. That is a place that many new disciples yearn for in their dreams," the red-clad administrator asked rather casually, as no one would reject such a thing. He did not believe that Xiao Chen would, either.

Xiao Chen did not reply directly. Instead, he tried verifying again. "I would like to ask if Senior Ye Zifeng is in the Purple Flame Sect now?"

There was no other way. He needed the most reliable answer.

Elder Liu was frequently outside. There was no guarantee that his information was accurate. It was still more reliable to ask this red-clad administrator, who generally remained in the sect.

"Why are you asking this? Senior Ye Zifeng has not come out of closed-door cultivation for close to ten years already. However, I am sure he is still in the sect." The red-clad administrator looked at Xiao Chen in doubt and confusion.

Elder Liu said helplessly, "Xiao Chen, it really is not this old man looking down on you. Just forget about getting Senior Ye Zifeng as your master. That is our sect's Supreme Elder. He is one of the anchors of the Purple Flame Sect and a disciple of Pan Huang. Why are you so…obstinately persistent about this?"

When the red-clad administrator heard this, he fondled his goatee and smiled faintly.

Many youths were like this. They entered the Purple Flame Sect all because of Elder Ye Zifeng. Unfortunately, Ye Zifeng was very picky. After so many years, he had taken in only one disciple. Furthermore, that was after the Sect Master personally persuaded him to.

Xiao Chen's expression did not show much change. As long as Ye Zifeng was around, it would be fine. As long as he was sure that Ye Zifeng was here, he could relax.

With a thought, Pan Huang's Saber Sovereign Medallion appeared in Xiao Chen's palm and started spinning quickly.

The aura unique to Pan Huang spread out from the medallion, radiating in rings to every peak of the Purple Flame Sect.

---

At the summit of a peak, where the Spiritual Energy was thickest, a stone door opened. A handsome, middle-aged man walked out.

This person revealed a dubious expression. "Master's aura?"

In the next moment, this person's figure flashed, silently arriving at the source of the aura.

---

When the middle-aged man suddenly appeared, he startled the red-clad administrator and Elder Liu. Just as they were about to shout at Xiao Chen, to ask him what he was doing, their expressions changed at the same time.

Both of them bowed simultaneously, trembling with fear. "Greetings, Martial Grand Uncle!"

The handsome, middle-aged man was none other than Pan Huang's disciple, Ye Zifeng.

"Junior Brother, you came. Why did you not send someone to inform me?" Upon seeing Pan Huang's medallion in Xiao Chen's hand, Ye Zifeng understood and realized who Xiao Chen was.

He immediately revealed a warm smile as he spoke to Xiao Chen.

"Plop!"

When Elder Liu heard this, his knees went weak with fright as his heart pounded heavily.

d.a.m.n, are you trying to scare this old man to death? Junior brother… Feeling dizzy, Elder Liu fell to the ground, completely confused.
