The Feiyun Boat quickly passed through the mountain gate. Along the way, Cheng Xujing occasionally explained the situation in the sect to Zhang Yuhe, which provided him with a refreshing feeling.
According to Cheng Xujing, the Daosheng Sect had been passed down in Yufantian for millions of years, with powerful figures transcending tribulations and ascending to heaven every tens of thousands of years.
Even now, the Daosheng Sect still had Mahayana ancestors. As for how many Mahayana ancestors there were, Zhang Xujing couldn't say for sure. These ancestors were mostly secluded deep within the sect's mountains, where they hadn't been seen in thousands of years. Perhaps some of them would survive the great heavenly tribulation, ascend to the immortal realm, and achieve eternal life.
The flying boat continued its swift course, passing through immortal mountains and pavilions. Occasionally, unknown immortal birds fluttered by them.
But what surprised Zhang Yuhe was that they hardly saw other disciples along the way. It seemed as though there were only a few people in the vast Daosheng Sect.
However, Zhang Xujing quickly clarified that the Daosheng Sect had many disciples—100,000 outer disciples and 3,000 inner disciples. The absence of other disciples was because most of them were either on missions or practicing in their caves.
Whether inner or outer disciples, cultivating immortality was everyone's belief. When they had no other tasks, they rarely wandered around the sect.
Listening to Cheng Xujing's words, Zhang Yuhe couldn't help but nod silently. His impression of the Daosheng Sect instantly improved.
Originally, he thought that the Daosheng Sect, as the dominant force in Yufantian, would have arrogant disciples. He had expected there might be second-generation heirs who would show off or act in a condescending manner. After all, it would be natural for someone who believed themselves to be the best in the world to display a little arrogance.
However, this wasn't the case. From his interactions with Zhao Qingqing at the reception desk to Cheng Xujing in the Deacon's Hall, he found the disciples humble and kind.
As the most powerful sect in the world, the 100,000 disciples of Daosheng Sect had no intention of slacking off, and all of them were diligently practicing. What kind of belief was this? What an immense power!
Zhang Yuhe couldn't help but feel admiration for the Daosheng Sect. They had ruled Yufantian for millions of years, and it wasn't without reason. With such an environment, who in the world could rival them?
This kind of cultivation environment was exactly what Zhang Yuhe liked. When everyone had the freedom to immerse themselves in cultivation, and when something important happened, they would come together to handle it.
He believed cultivation should be like this—less intrigue and more straightforwardness.
The flying boat swiftly continued and soon stopped in front of a mountain.
Cheng Xujing pointed to the mountain ahead and said, "Brother Zhang, we have arrived. This is Yinhe Peak, the one you chose. Use your identity token to open the mountain restriction."
Zhang Yuhe took out his identity jade card, and as spiritual energy flowed into it, the full image of the mountain appeared in front of him.
Looking at the mountain before him, Zhang Yuhe couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement. This would be his territory in the future.
"Junior Brother Cheng, would you like to come in and rest for a while?" Zhang Yuhe asked, not immediately heading to Yinhe Peak but turning to Cheng Xujing.
Cheng Xujing waved his hand. "No, I still have matters to attend to in the Steward's Hall. Senior Brother has just arrived at the sect. It's better to get familiar with the environment and settle in first."
"Alright, Junior Brother. You're always welcome to visit Yinhe Peak when you're free."
"Sure."
After exchanging a few pleasantries, Cheng Xujing piloted the flying boat away.
Watching Cheng Xujing leave, Zhang Yuhe stepped forward and flew toward Yinhe Peak.
Once on the mountaintop, he surveyed the surroundings and couldn't help but feel thrilled.
"I hope one day I can prove my way here and ascend to the immortal realm," Zhang Yuhe mused.
As he wandered the peak, small animals occasionally leaped across his path. At first, he was alarmed, thinking there might be monsters on the mountain. But soon, he relaxed, realizing the animals were simply ordinary beasts that hadn't evolved into monsters.
Ordinary beasts wouldn't interfere with his cultivation and could even add some vitality to the peak. It was fine to let them stay.
The scope of Yinhe Peak was not large—about a dozen miles in radius, with just one mountain and one lake. But for Zhang Yuhe, it was more than enough. After all, he was a solitary person and didn't need much space.
After touring the peak, Zhang Yuhe was satisfied with the environment. However, he soon discovered a problem—there were no buildings on Yinhe Peak.
He scratched his head in confusion.
"There isn't even a house. Where am I supposed to sleep tonight?"
"Do all the disciples of Daosheng Sect sleep under the stars? That can't be right."
"Forget it. I'll figure something out."
Zhang Yuhe summoned his flying sword, pointed it casually, and began to chop down trees in the distance. He cut the wood into pillars and stones into bricks.
For the rest of the evening, Zhang Yuhe worked alone on Yinhe Peak.
By dusk, a beautiful pavilion had taken shape on the mountaintop. In front of the pavilion, a large stone stood with the words "Yinhe Villa" engraved on it.
"Not bad, not bad. This is much better than the garden mansion back on Blue Star," Zhang Yuhe said as he looked at his handiwork, nodding in satisfaction.
"Now, time for some food, a good sleep, and then I'll visit the Sutra Tower to pick a practice tomorrow."
Elder Lu had mentioned that he could choose any practice in the Sutra Tower. The practices available there were all heavenly grade techniques.
Heavenly grade techniques were unique to Daosheng Sect and could not be found elsewhere in Yufantian. Other forces might have better Xuan grade techniques, but that was due to their ancestors' merits.
Aside from the Qi-inducing technique given by the system, Zhang Yuhe had never come into contact with any real techniques. He couldn't help but look forward to his visit to the Sutra Tower the next day.
The silver moon shone brightly in the sky, its soft light quietly spreading throughout Daosheng Sect.
Under the moonlight, Zhang Yuhe sat on a stone bench in the pavilion, silently eating barbecue.
Yes, barbecue. He hadn't found any better food for the time being.
Although he had entered Daosheng Sect, his living conditions hadn't improved much. The sect provided an excellent training environment and top-level techniques, but when it came to daily life, there were no special provisions. Disciples had to fend for themselves.
Perhaps eating in the wind and dew was a normal part of being an immortal cultivator.
"Let's see what the other players are doing," Zhang Yuhe muttered, opening the chat channel as he ate.
"Another night has fallen. Although I've been in Yufantian for over a month, why am I still a little scared at night?"
"What are you afraid of? Just focus on your cultivation. If wild monsters come, kill them and eat their meat. If A Piao shows up, just push her down."
"Zhuo, you're ruthless."
"Are there any brothers in Liusha City? Let's team up to kill monsters tomorrow."
"I envy the big guys who have already walked out of the wilderness."
"I envy you too."
"Excuse me, where is Liusha City? I stay in this broken temple every day. I only occasionally go out to pick some wild fruits. I don't dare to go anywhere else. I don't even know where the outside world is."
"Brother, you need to get out more."
"I can't, I'm afraid."
"What are you afraid of? Just pick a direction and go. If you see a strong monster, just avoid it. There's no problem walking out of the wilderness."
"That's right, I'm still a mortal, but I've already left the wilderness."
"No way, you're that strong?"
"Don't underestimate yourself. Even if you haven't upgraded yet, your strength will still improve. You can handle some monsters now."
"Yeah, I can break a big tree with my bare hands now, and I haven't leveled up yet."
"Speaking of the big shots who have reached the first level of Qi training, how many are there now?"
"I don't know. The big shots don't usually show up."
"Haha, I've already reached the first level of Qi training and learned Fireball. I'll give you a live demonstration after I log off."
"Big shots are amazing."
"I'm so jealous."
