Chapter 148: Lingjue Peak
Within the Heavenly Palace of Langxuan, there are ten peaks.
Langxuan Peak is the main peak, and there are nine supporting peaks, namely:
- Lingjian Peak, dedicated to martial arts and the spirit sword.
- Lingqi Peak, dedicated to refining tools and the spirit tool.
- Lingdan Peak, dedicated to alchemy and the spirit pill.
- Lingfu Peak, dedicated to talismans and the spirit talisman.
- Lingshu Peak, focused on the study of various spells and the spirit spell.
- Lingji Peak, emphasizing research in various techniques and the spirit mechanism.
- Lingxi Peak, the central hub for intelligence gathering.
- Lingyan Peak, known for its eccentric and mysterious teachings.
- Lingjue Peak, inhabited by disciples with various exotic and mythical beasts, regardless of their backgrounds.
Each peak has its own expertise, but it does not mean they are ignorant of other fields; they simply do not excel in them.
Ultimately, each peak has its own agenda, maintaining a dynamic balance and mutually constraining each other.
Among them, Lingjue Peak is considered one of the most joyful and leisurely peaks. After all, many disciples are non-human species like Shen Yingzi and Bai Ying. In the natural setting of Langxuan Tiangong, far away from the core power, no matter how much they compete, it is futile. It is better to follow the footsteps of the Holy Lord and lie down peacefully on ordinary days.
The Holy Lord arranged Chu Shen here, also with the intention of protecting him, not wanting him to get involved in unnecessary power struggles in other immortal peaks. Otherwise, wouldn't it be more appropriate to arrange him in Lingdan Peak?
Chu Shen controlled Bai Ying, and Bai Ying stepped on the clouds and mist, passing through the mountain gate formation, and headed towards Linglan Peak.
The scale of Lingjue Peak is larger than most immortal peaks. It is called a peak, but in reality, it is a mountain range. After all, most of the disciples of different species are large in size and need enough space to move around.
Here, there are wandering dragons, proud phoenixes, qilins roaming in the mountains, Xuanwu sleeping in the lakes, fox fairies accompanying mountain trips, and flower spirits wandering around... Most of them are intellectual beings who have shed their wildness, and a few newcomers who rely on their physique to act recklessly are usually beaten and become obedient after a few beatings.
After all, being taught a lesson by senior brothers and sisters is much better than being taught by senior cultivators.
Being bound by the Dragon Binding Rope and hung on a cliff for public display, a rebellious dragon roared, indicating that it wouldn't dare to do it again next time. This can truly deter many young and hot-blooded individuals who don't listen to advice.
As soon as Chu Shen arrived, he was stunned by this bizarre scene, especially when he saw Shen Yingzi, that scoundrel, squatting on top of the punished dragon, happily taking pictures with her senior sisters using a crystal stone for capturing images. He couldn't help but feel sorry for the dragon. He wondered how many years of dark history it had been eaten by Shen Yingzi.
"Oh, it's Bai Ying!"
"Sister Bai Ying, long time no see. Is your punishment over?"
"Sister Bai Ying, give me a hug!"
There were shape-shifters and non-shape-shifters. A group of eccentric Lingjue Peak disciples quickly surrounded Bai Ying and greeted her.
Most of the disciples of different species have simple minds, like children. Fortunately, there are Shen Yingzi and a few others with enough experience to guide them.
"Chu Shen, Junior Brother Chu? Why have you come to Lingjue Peak? Are you here to see me?" Shen Yingzi, as always, was sociable and cheerful, patting Chu Shen's shoulder with a laugh. "Did you bring me something delicious or fun? You didn't come empty-handed, did you?"
Chu Shen felt embarrassed. He really didn't bring anything. He had come to report, who would have known he would run into her...
"Really nothing?" Shen Yingzi looked disappointed.
After being caught and brought back, she hadn't found a chance to go out and have fun. Her supplies had long been used up. She had thought an old acquaintance had come to help her out, but it turned out to be empty-handed.
Chu Shen didn't want to lose this opportunity, so he explained, "Senior Sister, please forgive me. I just recently entered the inner sect and came to Lingjue Peak to report. I also wanted to find a place to build my cave dwelling. I've been busy, you know? Next time, I'll definitely bring you a bunch of delicious and fun things!"
"Huh? You've been promoted to the inner sect? So quickly?" Shen Yingzi seemed surprised, as if she didn't know about Chu Shen's "great achievements."
Chu Shen then recounted his series of impressive actions to her, finally dispelling her doubts.
"Wow, I knew you were talented, but I didn't expect you to be this amazing. To think of gaining fame outside and then promoting the sect from within... Or rather, you're really impressive. Even if others could come up with this method, they wouldn't have the ability to gain fame outside to the extent that even the Unpredictable would take notice."
Shen Yingzi was quite fair in her assessment and quickly thought of the difficulties in Chu Shen's method. After all, she didn't need to beat around the bush and could speak directly, which made her admire Chu Shen even more.
Chu Shen modestly responded and told Shen Yingzi his purpose, "Senior Sister, you overpraise me. I didn't expect to enter the inner sect so quickly either! But now I'm faced with so many troublesome matters without even understanding the situation in the inner sect. I'm really at a loss."
Shen Yingzi still valued their old relationship and wanted to give Bai Ying face, so she clapped her hands and said, "What's so difficult about that? I'll help you. Come, let's first take care of the registration!"
Other disciples of different species immediately started making a commotion, following behind Shen Yingzi, Chu Shen, Bai Ying, and others, without bothering to play with the unlucky punished Jiaolong. They went straight to the main hall of the Lingdi Peak.
With the help of an old acquaintance, things went smoothly as expected. The disciple in charge of registration at the Lingjue Peak clarified the situation and quickly sorted out the list of personnel for Chu Shen and the Chu family to move into the inner courtyard.
However, there was one small problem.
"There are no vacant caves here. Besides the peak masters and elders who reside in the main hall, everyone else has to find their own place to live."
The Lingjue Peak has the most relaxed atmosphere among the nine branches, and it is also the wildest among the immortal peaks. Many disciples come from the mountains, wilds, and lakes, accustomed to a free and wild lifestyle. Many of them can't adapt to living in houses. They dig holes, hollow out tree trunks, and hide underwater... Over time, no one is interested in expanding the buildings outside the main hall.
Human disciples who choose the Lingjue Peak naturally accept this way of life. Most of them prefer to live in caves, while some build houses and buildings, usually on a small scale.
If they want to find a place suitable for Chu Shen's large family, unless the peak masters and elders give up the main hall, it would be difficult.
Chu Shen was quite dumbfounded. He had to build his own residence again?
"Well, there is a place called Tianyao Mountain in the Lingjue Peak. There is a relatively intact palace ruins on the mountaintop called Qunyu Palace. There is even a hot spring there. If you are interested, you can clean it up and live there," said the disciple on duty, suddenly remembering something, and said to Chu Shen.
Chu Shen clasped his hands and said, "Please enlighten me, senior brother."
The disciple on duty said, "There is a haunted place called Qunyu Palace. No one has been able to clean it up for many years. Are you really going to let this kid move in with his family? How can you be so heartless?"
The disciple on duty quickly waved his hand and said, "Senior sister, there is really no other place. If this junior brother is willing to rough it out, then so be it. If he really needs to find a place to live in such a short time, Qunyu Palace is the only option here at the Lingjue Peak.
Besides, those ghosts and spirits don't harm people... "
