Chương 9: Qingcheng Immortal Abode

When Fang Yang became a direct disciple of the Jie Sect, he knew that he would inevitably become the focus of attention of all immortals, gods, demons, ghosts, and witches.

There are very few direct disciples of the Three Pure Ones in the entire prehistoric world, so it would be abnormal if no one paid attention to them.

Fang Yang, however, did not care. The saying "a tree that stands out in the forest will be felled by the wind" only applies to those who lack strong backing. His backing was more stable than Mount Buzhou. The Tongtian Sect Leader would shield him from all the storms until he grew up.

However, the moment Fang Yang became a direct disciple, he also shouldered a heavier responsibility.

If he were an outer disciple, he could indeed protect himself. A monthly salary of three thousand yuan wouldn't motivate him to risk his life. But once he became a direct disciple, he became indistinguishable from the Jie Sect.

After the Tongtian Sect Leader left, Fang Yang began packing his things, preparing to move. He planned to move to Qingcheng Mountain to establish his own base. Ningzhen Island was good, but it certainly couldn't compare to Qingcheng Mountain.

Of course, as a direct disciple, Fang Yang is entitled to establish a training ground on Jin'ao Island.

However, Jin'ao Island is a place teeming with all sorts of people, and immortals come and go; it's not a place for quiet cultivation. Fang Yang, an outer disciple, suddenly being promoted to a personal disciple will definitely bring a lot of trouble.

It was precisely because of this that the Tongtian Sect Leader had Fang Yang move to Qingcheng Mountain.

Firstly, he could avoid the troubles on Jin'ao Island. Secondly, Qingcheng Mountain and Emei Mountain are not far apart, and Fang Yang could befriend the rare pure immortals in the sect while on Qingcheng Mountain.

Fang Yang roamed freely between heaven and earth, pausing briefly at Wuyi Mountain along the way.

Now that he had come to the primordial world, how could he let go of this opportunity? However, when he arrived at the foot of Mount Wuyi and learned that there was a powerful being in the mountain, he decisively left.

What kind of divine object is the Primordial Spiritual Treasure? How could it possibly recognize Xiao Sheng and Cao Bao, two worthless scoundrels, as its masters?

Fang Yang had guessed from the beginning that Xiao Sheng and Cao Bao had teachers, and that the Luobao Coins were inherited from their teachers.

He came only to find out if that powerful being had perished. Since the person hadn't, he certainly wouldn't bother making a fool of himself. However, he had already decided to learn more skills to deal with the various rare treasures and supernatural abilities in the primordial world.

Cultivate the Great Art of Resurrection to deal with the Yin-Yang Realm.

Cultivate the Standing Still Without Shadow Technique to deal with the Heaven-Turning Seal.

Cultivate the Reversed Heavenly Gang Great Technique to deal with the Seven Arrows of Nailhead.

Cultivate the Shangqing Divine Talisman to deal with the Falling Treasure Coin.

......

That's right, the supernatural powers and magical treasures that Fang Yang wants to cultivate are specifically designed to deal with the Chan Sect, Lu Ya, and others.

He wanted to let the inherently evil disciples of the Chan Sect know who was truly born from moisture and eggs, and who was covered in hair and horns.

Fang Yang believes that "wearing fur and horns, being born from wetness and eggs" is actually an insult, just like the usage of "not being a human being".

You should know that some of his junior brothers and sisters often turn birds and beasts into various kinds of food.

If they still considered themselves birds and beasts, how could they eat their own kind?

Fang Yang's journey lasted eighteen years. That was a long time, enough for Wang Baochuan to dig up all the wild vegetables on the mountain.

The primordial world is too vast. If it weren't for his recent great progress in cultivation and the new divine skills he learned from the Tongtian Sect Master, he wouldn't have been able to reach Qingcheng Mountain even if he flew for another eighteen years.

When he stopped his escape light, Mount Qingcheng was already close at hand.

Mount Qingcheng is covered in lush, evergreen forests, with its peaks forming a fortified city. From above, the scenery is breathtaking and imbued with spiritual energy. Even more remarkable is the presence of a vast, blessed grotto within Mount Qingcheng.

Grotto-heavens are the acupoints of the great god Pangu, and also the places where the energy of heaven and earth converges. The master of a grotto-heaven or blessed land can receive the blessing of its energy.

Fang Yang landed on a mountain peak shaped like a crane. The crane spread its wings as if about to take flight, raised its head, and cried out to the heavens. As soon as Fang Yang's feet touched the mountain, a powerful and profound spiritual energy flowed into his body through his feet.

"Beneath this mountain peak should lie the heart of Qingcheng Mountain's earth veins. According to Master, the Qingcheng Mountain Grotto-Heaven is located in the void above the heart of the earth veins."

Fang Yang took out the Daoist token given to him by the Tongtian Sect Master. The token was made of a deep purple immortal jade and covered with law runes that formed the four characters "Qingcheng Immortal Mansion".

Qingcheng Immortal Abode is another name for Qingcheng Grotto-Heaven.

According to the Tongtian Sect Leader, the original form of Qingcheng Cave Heaven was a celestial abode. Pangu left behind ten such celestial abodes, each containing rare treasures of chaos collected by Pangu during the primordial era.

The Tongtian Sect Leader, along with his two elder brothers, broke through the restrictions of the Immortal Abode and entered. The three brothers obtained countless treasures within the Qingcheng Immortal Abode.

The Three Pure Ones were able to establish three great sects of saints by relying on the treasures they obtained from the Qingcheng Immortal Mansion.

The alchemical furnace of the Supreme Purity Sage never went out, and the Primordial Sage and the Tongtian Sect Leader had a large number of disciples to support. Without this secret treasure, the three brothers would have been penniless long ago.

Although the treasures within the Qingcheng Immortal Abode were looted, the Qingcheng Immortal Abode itself is an excellent place for cultivation. Besides being rich in spiritual energy, the Qingcheng Immortal Abode also possesses the power of time. One day outside is equivalent to one year inside.

This mystery reminded Fang Yang of Rotten Axe Mountain, and the Rotten Axe Mountain Grotto should also possess similar mysteries.

Through the incident at Qingcheng Immortal Abode, Fang Yang deeply felt the Tongtian Sect Leader's good intentions towards him.

The Tongtian Sect Leader knew that Fang Yang's cultivation time was short and his cultivation level was far inferior to that of his senior brothers and sisters. He specially bestowed this immortal mansion with the ability to accelerate time upon Fang Yang in order to speed up Fang Yang's cultivation.

Fang Yang fully understood the meaning of the word "sage".

It's often said that teaching a disciple can lead to the master's starvation, but this isn't the case with the sages of heaven. They truly nurture their disciples as if they were their own children. Even a traitor like Shen Gongbao was given a divine position by the Primordial Heavenly Lord.

Fang Yang condensed a wisp of Shangqing magic power at his fingertips and slowly poured it into the Immortal Jade Token.

In an instant, the runes on the token lit up, and a deep purple halo enveloped the entire mountain. The spiritual energy between heaven and earth converged wildly, forming an extremely thick pillar of spiritual energy that pierced straight into the depths of the clouds.

Boom!

The heavens and earth trembled, and a celestial palace burst forth from the void.

This celestial palace was enormous, its outer space alone covering hundreds of mountain peaks. At the main gate of the celestial palace stood two jade pillars, each ten thousand feet tall, with countless innate runes running across their surfaces, and a crane statue atop each pillar.

Above the main gate hangs a huge plaque inscribed with the four innate divine characters "Qingcheng Immortal Abode". Judging from the Daoist charm of the characters, it seems to have been written by the Tongtian Sect Master himself.

As the celestial palace fully manifested, a heavy pressure descended upon Mount Qingcheng and spread to the surrounding area. Some rogue cultivators in the mountain, upon seeing the celestial abode appear in the sky, immediately knew that Mount Qingcheng had a master.

Without delay, Fang Yang held the token and leaped into the Immortal Abode.
