Immortal Path to Heaven

Chapter 924 - The Seven Stars Sect

Chapter 924: The Seven Stars Sect

The Seven Stars Sect was divided into 7 divisions. Each division had 123 peaks, which were called the sea of peaks. In the middle of the sea of peaks was the highest peak, which was also the main peak. Each main peak was extremely majestic and towered into the clouds. Moreover, each division of the sect studied different aspects. Ling Yue’s division was the Ultimate Sword Division, which was full of sword cultivators. After becoming Intermediate Spiritualists, they would deliberately carry a sword case on their back and put a longsword in the case to nurture the sword using vitality. When they attacked with their swords, the attacks would be like continuous thunder and rain.

On a mountain path, 3 young men and a young lady hurried forward. Although the young lady was not stunning if one looked at her in a hurry, the more one looked, the more beautiful she became. She was Guan Yue.

Among these people, the most inconspicuous one was Ou Yangming. His cultivation was already of an Advanced Spiritualist, but he deliberately suppressed his aura. It looked like he was putting on airs, but he did not carry a charm. Furthermore, the young fellow even forcefully suppressed his essence, energy, and spirit. It was not that he was too careful but after the last time when the Beast King Sect was attacked by Qiu Chengwang, even Ai Hongli and the other venerables were suspicious. Since the Seven Stars Sect was AI Hongli’s territory, he had to be careful.

“The Seven Stars Sect is right ahead.” Ling Yue smiled and pointed ahead.

Following that, he looked at Ou Yangming in confusion and asked in a low voice, “Brother Yu, are you not feeling well? Why do you look so pale?”

Ou Yangming frowned slightly and answered softly, “Thank you for your concern, Brother Ling, but I’m fine.” After he hid his Qi momentum, energy, essence, and spirit, he looked soft to other people.

Following the direction that Ling Yue pointed, Ou Yangming raised his head and looked into the distance. He saw countless majestic mountains clustered together, each one competing for their beauty. Especially the 7 main peaks, they were even more magnanimous. In the sky, a mist that was tens of meters long descended just like a long river of mist that hung upside down from the nine heavens. It was constantly changing. Under the sunlight, this long river of mist that was surging down from the heavens emitted multicolored rays of light. Indeed, the auspicious colors flew at the same time, and the lights were boundless. Additionally, the cries of the immortal cranes sounded in unison. In the midst of the mountains, a boundless spiritual spring emitted spiritual power, causing the spiritual Qi in the whole of Seven Stars Sect to almost condense into substance.

Ou Yangming let out a soft sigh and remarked sincerely, “Sure enough, this is the greatest sect in Zhangzhou. Brother Ling, if you cultivate here, you’ll have a bright prospect!” He took a deep breath and thought, ‘Just this kind of atmosphere is more than twice as majestic as that of the Beast King Sect. Sure enough, the overall strength of Zhangzhou is much stronger than Danzhou.’ Concurrently, the young fellow warned himself to be careful as he was already deep in the tiger’s mouth. If he was not careful, he would definitely fall into eternal damnation.

If it were not for the recommendation slot to enter the Big Ruins, Ou Yangming would not have come to the Seven Stars Sect to take the risk.

Cao Jiuming was a handyman disciple. He had not walked far before he went straight to the area for handymen because disciples like him were not allowed to enter the main peaks.

Soon, the 3 others stood at the foot of the Ultimate Sword Peak. The Ultimate Sword Peak was the main peak of the Ultimate Sword Division.

In front of them stood 10 arched doors that were about 333 meters tall. 2 Rudimentary Spiritualists in front of the stone doors with swords in their hands. They carried murderous auras.

Behind the arched doors, one could see ancient roads made of bluestones. They meandered up to the peak of the mountain. The bluestone roads were bustling with people, and they were at least Rudimentary Spiritualists. On both sides of the ancient roads, there were many beautiful and glorious pavilions, which had carved railings that were built with jade. They were exceptionally gorgeous.

Ling Yue took out a purple token from his pocket. It was unknown what material this token was made of, but it was faintly emitting a fluorescent light.

The 2 Rudimentary Spiritualists nodded and let them in.

At this moment, an evil voice was heard. “Went out to train? You’re back so soon? You probably didn’t gain much, right? “The voice was frivolous, and every word said was deliberately drawn out, making people feel uncomfortable. Soon after, a man with a pointy mouth and monkey cheeks walked down from the mountain, carrying a sword case on his back.

“You?” Ling Yue wanted to counterattack but when he saw the sword case on his back, his expression changed, and he asked in a muffled voice, “You... You’ve broken through to become an Intermediate Spiritualist?”

“So what if I have? Junior Brother, you’re still too inexperienced to want to compete with me for the Seven Dazzling Pill. Hmph... This time, I’ve already broken through to become an Intermediate Spiritualist. Let’s see how you’re going to compete with me!” He shook his head and deliberately looked regretful to provoke Ling Yue.

There were many internal strifes within the Seven Stars Sect. Not only did the sect not stop them, but they even secretly encouraged them. As long as no one died, everything would be fine. Therefore, the sect’s common practice was to be brave and fierce. Disciples with the same master would compete with each other for cultivation resources while disciples from the same peak would fight for the qualification for cave dwellings. In fact, the competition between the 7 divisions was even more intense. After all, this concerned the allocation of resources between the various peaks. It was precisely because of this that the people of the Seven Stars Sect were much more powerful than the people of the other influential sects in one-on-one fights. Hence, they were rich in battle experience.

Despite that, when it came to the Seven Stars Sect, one had to mention the Law Enforcement Division. The Law Enforcement Division was special. It was independent of the 7 divisions, where they only listened to the orders of the sect master.

Ling Yue’s face turned pale. Before he could say anything, Guan Yue glared angrily at the monkey-faced man and sneered. “Is it worth it to treat fellow disciples like this for a medicinal pill?” She looked fiercely at the man and appeared to be imposing.

“Wow, not bad. Junior Brother Ling Yue, I originally thought that you wouldn’t gain anything, but I didn’t expect that you’d find such a young lady to be your backer. Given your fair skin and clean appearance, you indeed have the potential to live off a woman.” Jian Chengzhe enunciated each word with a pause. His voice was scornful.

Ling Yue clenched his fists tightly, his fingernails sinking into his palms.

Guan Yue also had a sullen expression on his face. She gently bit his lower lip, and her body trembled non-stop.

“Haha, look, I was right. You must be angry from embarrassment!” Jian Chengzhe laughed so hard that he leaned back and forth, but his eyes looked deep as he thought, ‘As long as Ling Yue dares to make a move on me today, I’ll severely injure him! This way, even if Master doesn’t want to give the Seven Dazzling Pill to me, he’ll still consider the opinions of others. If I spread public opinion, the pill will be in my possession.

This was how the story went—Jian Chengzhe and Ling Yue entered the Ultimate Sword Division one after the other and became Wen Zhou’s disciple.

Jian Chengzhe started first for a decade. He was the oldest senior brother while Ling Yue was the youngest junior brother.

Before Ling Yue followed Wen Zhou, Jian Chengzhe’s cultivation resources were abundant. Furthermore, he worked very hard, so his cultivation base improved rapidly. Before he turned 18 years old, he had already entered the Extreme Grade boundary. However, after Ling Yue arrived, a cake was only that big, so the 2 of them naturally had to share what was available. As such, Jian Chengzhe felt that Ling Yue snatched those resources from him.

He had an extreme hatred towards Ling Yue.

There was already some friction between them before this, but it was all a private contest.

Now, when Jian Chengzhe’s cultivation base broke through to that of an Intermediate Spiritualist, he suddenly could not hold it in anymore.

More importantly, for the sake of the Seven Dazzling Pill, as long as Jian Chengzhe defeated Ling Yue in a tyrannical manner, the overall situation would be on his side. Now, at the foot of the Ultimate Sword Peak, how many people would be able to witness it? Once word spread, even public opinion would be able to force Wen Zhou to take his side.

Just as he was feeling smug about this strategy, Guan Yue’s face turned cold, and her voice was ice-cold as she uttered, “Shameless person, die!”

With a wave of her white clothes, countless green Trapping Formation Boards flew out like green clothes. The tadpole-like runes on them all jumped and enveloped Jian Chengzhe.

“Hmph, it’s just a Trapping Formation. You’re courting death!” Jian Chengzhe’s eyes turned cold as he sneered.

Jian Chengzhe grabbed his back with his finger and coldly shouted, “Sword, come!” The sword case quickly rolled like a spinning top. A 1-meter-long blade lightly rang and when it landed, it was already in his hand. This was the third day the man carried the sword case on his back, but this was his first time taking out the longsword inside. He felt wonderful. Before he became an Intermediate Spiritualist, he had longed for the day when he could look at the clear blue sky and shout out the word “sword”. All he could say was that it was f*cking cool.

The longsword flashed with a green light. It only had one characteristic, which was its speed. It was incredibly fast.

It was like a bolt of white lightning. In just an instant, it shattered all the formation boards. Having said that, the longsword did not stop as it went straight for Guan Yue’s face. Jian Chengzhe knew he could not kill her, but he could scratch her face with his sword. He was vicious.

Of course, this was also because he did not know Guan Yue’s identity. Otherwise, even if he was very bold, he would not dare to do so.

“Enough!” The voice was not loud, and it was even slightly soft. However, it made Jian Chengzhe’s heart turn cold, but he still did not have the slightest intention of stopping.

This was because he knew within the Seven Stars Sect, the fellow with an aura as deep as the sea would not dare to hurt him.

‘Hmph, stubborn!’ Ou Yangming snorted coldly in his heart. Quickly after, he made complicated gestures with both hands. When he pressed down with his arms, the ground within 33 meters from his feet began to surge like a tidal wave. One of the stone awls soared into the sky and spun non-stop with an indescribable sharpness. He directly struck the longsword that flew out from the sword case.

Ou Yangming sighed. He could not take out the Blood Spear Dragon Slaughterer, so he could only make gestures with both hands to cast magic arts. It was too troublesome.

That said, this immediately caused the spectating disciples to exclaim at the same time, “This... He’s actually a caster. Oh my god!”

“It has been many years since a new caster appeared in the Seven Stars Sect, right?” A man in green shook his longsword and exhaled two mouthfuls of cold air. His pupils contracted, and his heart was perturbed like a meteorite falling into a lake. One could imagine the waves that were stirred up.

“Yes, this person actually dared to offend a spell caster. In the future...” He did not finish speaking, but everyone understood what he meant. Jian Chengzhe’s days ahead will be difficult.

Among them, the one who was the most shocked was Jian Chengzhe. He never thought that his junior brother would go out and bring back a caster. ‘Are you trying to go to heaven? He’s a caster, not a cabbage!’

Jian Chengzhe still glared at Ling Yue and walked toward the mountain path. He dared not glare at Ou Yangming even if he hated him!

Ling Yue smiled bitterly and said, “Brother Yu, I’m sorry for making a fool of myself.”

“Brother Ling, what are you saying? Every clan has its difficulties. It’s getting late so let’s hurry up and go up the mountain.” Ou Yangming smiled.

He did not care about Jian Chengzhe’s sudden appearance at all.

The man was just a clown, who did not deserve Ou Yangming’s attention at all.
