Chapter 1 Zhong Prefecture Holy Land

Clang!

Clang!

Zhong Prefecture Holy Land.

Da Luo Immortal Palace.

With the sound of the bells, all was silent.

Here, the waterfalls were like silver rivers, the mountains and rivers reflected the sun and moon, displaying the grandeur of immortals. From afar, mountain peaks radiated strange light.

Some were resplendent, some were filled with spiritual energy, some had rainbow bridges, and some were surrounded by celestial cranes, dazzling the eyes.

"Fellow junior brothers and sisters, this is my Da Luo Immortal Bridge. Whether you are inner disciples or outer disciples, you must cross the Immortal Bridge every morning at mao time (5-7 am) to go to Da Luo Palace to listen to the elders or other senior brothers teach. You must remember this, do not forget, otherwise, if there is no other reason for not attending the morning class, you will be punished."

On the Da Luo Immortal Bridge, a young disciple in his twenties appeared slowly with hundreds of people.

"We understand, thank you for your guidance, Senior Brother."

The crowd spoke one after another, with utmost piety. At the same time, they stepped onto the Immortal Bridge.

Standing on the Immortal Bridge, looking down, white clouds and celestial cranes, undulating mountains, from time to time, one could see people flying by on swords, making people envious and longing.

Hundreds of new disciples craned their necks, looking around. Some of them were even nobles of dynasties, or families of cultivators, but in the Da Luo Holy Land, these commoners and princes were no different.

The Immortal Sect was supreme.

"Fellow junior brothers and sisters, this is the One Hundred and Eight Immortal Peaks. One hundred and eight true disciples of our sect reside here, each of whom is a renowned figure in the cultivation world. Moreover, each Immortal Peak has a different meaning. For example, this mountain peak, with three thousand miles of golden brilliance, is the residence of Senior Brother Jin Guang, ranked tenth in our sect!"

"This mountain peak, with celestial cranes rising, is the residence of Senior Brother Qing He, ranked eighth."

"This mountain peak, with three thousand miles of purple aura coming from the east, is the residence of Senior Sister Zi Yun, ranked second."

The young guiding senior brother was gradually introducing these True Inheritance Peaks, while his eyes also showed envy and anticipation.

Until they finished walking across the Immortal Bridge, a voice appeared in the crowd.

"Senior Brother, Senior Brother, where is the number one peak of the True Inheritance disciples? Why haven't I seen it?"

A disciple was very curious. So many mountain peaks had been introduced, from tenth to second, but the first one had not been mentioned.

As soon as these words were spoken, the disciples all came back to their senses.

Indeed, so many mountain peaks had been mentioned, but the first one was not mentioned. This was very strange. Throughout the ages, the top spot has always been extremely important. Everything has its highs and lows, and the first place is naturally the focus of everyone's attention.

"I have heard that the thirty-second generation headmaster of Da Luo Holy Land once said that in literature, there is no first, and in martial arts, there is no first. Cultivators should cultivate to the state of 'supreme good is like water'. If they are competitive, they will develop attachments. Therefore, there is no such thing as first place in Da Luo Holy Land."

A disciple spoke, stating the reason.

The guiding senior brother nodded, and then said, "What this little junior brother said is correct. Da Luo Holy Land does not have a number one peak, but if nothing unexpected happens, in a few days, the number one peak may appear."

He said this, arousing extreme curiosity among the crowd.

"What does Senior Brother mean by this?"

"Could it be that Da Luo Holy Land has produced an unparalleled genius?"

"It is rumored that when Senior Sister Zi Yun was born, three thousand miles of purple aura came from the east, causing an extraordinary phenomenon. She was praised as the reincarnation of an unparalleled immortal in our Daoist sect, but she did not become the first in Da Luo. Why, all of a sudden, is there going to be a number one peak?"

The disciples were very curious.

After all, the title of "first" was too extraordinary.

Think about it, in the mortal world, the struggle for imperial power, countless killings, even fratricide and patricide in order to seize the imperial power, all for the sake of being number one.

This was Da Luo Holy Land, the supreme Immortal Sect. Any disciple who walked out of here, even the worst one, could become a feudal lord in the mortal world.

To be able to make a name for oneself in this kind of place was already considered a dragon among men. If one could become number one, how strong would that be?

The crowd was curious, and some even showed disbelief.

"Three years ago, the headmaster of our sect traveled the mortal world and, together with the headmasters of other holy lands, encountered an unparalleled genius. All the headmasters called him a Qilinzi (Qilin Child). The sect master of the Tianji Sect even predicted that this person would be the number one genius of the immortal path in the last 100,000 years. Therefore, the headmaster overcame all difficulties and accepted this unparalleled genius as his closed-door disciple. Moreover, there is reliable news that, if nothing unexpected happens, these days, the headmaster will break the rules and establish that senior brother as the eldest senior brother, establishing the number one peak."

The guiding senior brother slowly spoke, revealing this secret.

As soon as these words came out, the crowd smacked their tongues one after another, feeling incredulous.

"An unparalleled genius? A Qilin Child?"

"Contested by all the headmasters?"

"The number one genius of the immortal path in the last 100,000 years?"

They muttered to themselves.

After all, these words were too shocking.

"Then, where is that eldest senior brother?"

Someone had already revealed a look of reverence and admiration, and could not help but ask.

"Right ahead."

The guiding senior brother pointed to the front.

"Where can we see him?"

A young woman could not help but ask.

"Perhaps you can, perhaps you can't. At least in these three years, I have not seen this senior brother, but I have heard that those who have seen him praise him to the skies. Moreover, there are even rumors that Senior Sister Zi Yun has already secretly fallen in love with him."

He lowered his voice for the second half of the sentence, but it still caused an uproar.

As the crowd's interest soared, they quickly crossed the Immortal Bridge, and everyone's eyes were focused on the left side.

Because that unparalleled genius lived in a mountain peak on the left.

"It's there."

Soon, the guiding senior brother spoke, pointing to a mountain peak planted with red leaves.

At first glance, red leaf trees covered the entire mountain peak, giving it an indescribable beauty.

Moreover, it wasn't just them; there were also many disciples stationed here, with more female disciples than male disciples, but there were still quite a few male disciples as well.

"Who are these senior brothers and sisters?"

A new disciple was curious, pointing at these people and asking the guiding senior brother.

"They all want to see the demeanor of that senior brother. However, that senior brother is not only extraordinarily talented but also diligently cultivates. He hasn't left his residence in three years, only occasionally appearing a few times. Each time, it is said to be stunning, so it has attracted senior brothers and sisters to come and wait, hoping to catch a glimpse."

"To be honest, since that senior brother came, I have been back and forth hundreds of times, but I have never seen him. Perhaps only when the headmaster establishes the position of eldest senior brother will we truly be able to see his demeanor."

He spoke, his words also filled with curiosity.

At the same time, his eyes couldn't help but look over.

However, at this moment.

Suddenly, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth vibrated, and clusters of golden clouds gathered in the red peak.

Golden light bathed the entire red peak, and at this moment, the light was brilliant.

And terrifying spiritual energy swept across thousands of miles, and all the cultivators in the entire Da Luo Holy Land felt it.

This scene was too terrifying.

Thousands of miles of spiritual energy gathered on the red peak, the colors of the sky changed, and clusters of golden clouds displayed unparalleled auspiciousness.

"Is this a breakthrough in realm?"

"Did that senior brother break through his realm?"

"This is the phenomenon produced after a breakthrough in realm!"

"It is rumored that ancient sages would cause celestial phenomena when breaking through their realms. I thought this was just a rumor. I never thought that I would be fortunate enough to see it today."

People were shocked, but soon, an informed person revealed the secret.

"This Qilin Child is indeed extraordinary. He has only been in the sect for three years and has already broken through his realm, and has caused such a terrifying celestial phenomenon. What realm do you think he has broken through to?"

"At least it should be the Nascent Soul realm, right?"

"The Nascent Soul realm? Hiss, this Qilin Child is said to be only eighteen years old. If he really is in the Nascent Soul realm, then that's simply... unimaginable."

"The Nascent Soul realm is a bit of an exaggeration, but the Core Formation realm should not be far off."

"I think it should be the Golden Core realm, right?"

"The Golden Core realm? That's impossible. At least it should be the Core Formation realm. Such a terrifying celestial phenomenon, if it's just the Golden Core realm, then what kind of scene will it cause when he breaks through in the future?"

The crowd couldn't help but discuss, feeling shocked.

Moreover, mountain peaks flashed with blazing light, and pairs of eyes were cast over, staring at the red peak. Some were shocked, some were smacking their tongues, and some didn't know what to say.

This phenomenon was indeed too terrifying.

And just at this moment, a voice broke the silence.

"He's appeared, he's appeared!"

The voice rang out, and countless pairs of eyes couldn't help but look towards the red peak.
