Chapter 196: The Skyover of the Eastern Continent
Misunderstandings may come fast, but they go just as quick.
With Lin Zhongyu continuously explaining for Yun Zhonghe, Mu Jixue’s misunderstanding didn’t last long at all. Eventually, she apologized to him very seriously.
What could Yun Zhonghe say? It was an apology from his buddy, and even if he was slightly annoyed, he could only silently endure.
However, he couldn’t help but complain. Wasn’t Phoenix Aotian being a bit too brutal by knocking someone out cold?
“No, no, I’m really sorry, sincerely sorry. How about you also give me a good beating to vent?”
Mu Jixue looked at him with sincere remorse, which softened Yun Zhonghe’s heart a little bit.
Forget it, forget it, after all, it’s like raising one’s own child; why make a fuss over this?
Therefore, that incident was put to rest.
Though… whenever Mu Jixue occasionally flashed a tiny smirk, it seemed she still had this matter on her mind.
Was Yun Zhonghe really just here to offer guidance by clinging to Xiao Yu’s leg?
Or was it because he was captivated by Xiao Yu’s legs that made him act that way?
Looking at his legs wrapped in white silk stockings, Mu Jixue fell into silence.
Between white silk and black silk chocolate, which one does he actually prefer?
If Yun Zhonghe knew what Mu Jixue was thinking, he would probably feel speechless.
So, did everyone in their hearts deem him a leg freak?
…
Life aboard the Spirit Boat was dull and monotonous. They only occasionally made unexpected stops at some rest stations, allowing everyone to get off and relax a bit.
Compared to other disciples rushing to guilds, Yun Zhonghe and company were already quite comfortable.
Before they knew it, six days had passed, and they were almost within the area around the Xuantian Sect.
Centering on the Xuantian Sect, there was a huge city-state named Xuantian Mansion.
In this world, an “Mansion” is bigger than a “City.” Xuantian Mansion was much more prosperous than Cangzhou City. Even before entering Xuantian Mansion’s airspace, Yun Zhonghe and his gang had sensed its vibrancy and liveliness.
At this moment, they were in the suburban area.
Below lay wide roads, with rows of shady trees lining both sides. Houses were neat and tall. In the passing villages, many could be seen practicing martial arts. The number of vehicles on the road far exceeded those in the townships around Cangzhou City.
The more they went forward, the more prosperous it became.
“Almost at Xuantian Mansion,” reminded Qin Hongye.
Yun Zhonghe looked down, a bit lost.
Is this Xuantian Mansion?
He had seen it in games before, but due to limitations, few scenes were displayed. So, he initially felt it was just like a larger map of Cangzhou City.
Now he could understand why Cangzhou City was considered remote.
Xuantian Mansion was ten times larger than Cangzhou City!
And there were even more cultivators. Just a cursory spiritual energy scan revealed countless Foundation Establishment cultivators and a multitude of Golden Core cultivators.
Golden Core cultivators were top-tier in Cangzhou City, whereas here they were as numerous as dogs.
Even the natural spiritual energy here was much richer than in Cangzhou City, and the cultivators could feel that the slightest condensation of spiritual energy nearly matched the effect of taking a first-grade Spirit-replenishing Pill.
Most importantly, this was still Xuantian Mansion, not the Xuantian Sect yet!
Currently, the Cultivation Realm is under the administration of the Immortal Alliance. The separation of the Immortal Sects and local forces means that although Xuantian Mansion and Xuantian Sect are similar in name, they are completely different things.
Within the vast Xuantian Mansion lies a cluster of steep mountains like a tower reaching the sky—those are the Xuantian Sect!
The peaks are obscured by clouds. Upon closer inspection, one realizes that these clouds are formed entirely by spiritual energy, a testament to the power of the Xuantian Sect’s array.
The area where the Xuantian Sect is located was already rich in spiritual energy, and combined with the massive array, it made the entire Xuantian Sect resemble a secret realm. Breathing felt like forced cultivation, with spiritual energy automatically entering one’s body.
No wonder the Xuantian Sect is among the top ten Immortal Sects of the Cultivation Realm and the strongest place on the Eastern Continent!
Qin Hongye began to prepare for landing, stopping at Xuantian Mansion instead of entering Xuantian Sect.
“New disciples’ registration will happen on the day of the deadline. That day, you just need to wait at the foot of the mountain of the Xuantian Sect, and someone will pick you up.”
“Everyone should take a rest well in Xuantian Mansion today. You might as well familiarize yourselves with it since you will come here frequently in the future.”
“Whatever exists in Cangzhou City is in Xuantian Mansion, and whatever doesn’t exist in Cangzhou City is also in Xuantian Mansion.”
“But at the same time, Xuantian Mansion is much more competitive. More clans are here, and the Immortal Alliance’s Eastern Headquarters is also here. You never know how many powerful Transformation Gods are standing guard, and the Lord of the Xuantian Mansion is no ordinary person. His Longhu Army is especially brave and battle-hardened.”
“There is nowhere safer in the Eastern Continent than Xuantian Mansion. Therefore, refrain from causing trouble as it will only bring unimaginable fear.”
Xuantian Mansion is the sky of the entire Eastern Continent!
No one dares to be reckless here.
Mu Jixue, Lin Zhongyu, and Su Xiaoxiao, who were originally listening with attention, shifted their focus next moment.
Wow!
How splendid!
Suddenly, as if daylight had broken through the horizon!
Countless lights flickered. Although it was still evening, the whole mansion city was illuminated with dazzling lights.
Huge!
Boundless!
Their whole field of vision was filled with lights stretching endlessly.
Within Xuantian Mansion, there are three rings: Outer Ring, Middle Ring, Inner Ring.
The Outer Ring is the suburban area. Flying in the air with Spirit Boats or cultivators is allowed, but entering the Middle or Inner Ring requires official authorization from Xuantian Mansion, and unpermitted flights are prohibited.
Thus, Yun Zhonghe and crew stayed firmly anchored in the Outer Ring.
It felt like everything was becoming orderly here, unlike the relatively relaxed and informal atmosphere of Cangzhou City. Even the presence of the Lord of the City is not as prominent.
After stepping off the Spirit Boat, even in the Outer Ring, traffic was heavy, with plenty of cars and people everywhere.
Other newly registered students probably arrived here on Spirit Boats as well.
Many were like Mu Jixue and her friends, feeling unfamiliar, confused, puzzled, and curious…
Yun Zhonghe was better off because he had seen Xuantian Mansion in-game, but he still couldn’t hide his sense of awe.
“Welcome to Xuantian Mansion! Though you have not officially entered the sect, many sect elders have already taken notice of your existence. Congrats, you’ve successfully passed your initial test.”
Qin Hongye said with a smile to Yun Zhonghe, though the “you guys” sounded a bit forced.
Sect Elders…probably having transformation-level cultivation, they could sense Yun Zhonghe and company’s aura with extreme ease.
“However, I have urgent matters to handle elsewhere. I may not be able to remain with you further. I must part ways now and see you at the sect.”
Qin Hongye had already helped a lot by escorting the five of them here. She was clearly occupied now, being constantly urged by her father, the Head of the Sect, to return home for important matters.
Regardless, she had prepared them for what was to come, and Yun Zhonghe and company only needed to wait until the sect opened its doors.
So, Qin Hongye bowed to them affectionately and bid farewell while looking at Yun Zhonghe with reluctance.
“Let’s go to find a lodging in the downtown area.”
After Qin Hongye left, Yun Zhonghe suggested.
Everyone nodded. It was getting late and they were hungry. They decided to find a place to stay first, then have a meal and explore Xuantian Mansion.
This would be the girls’ favorite activity!
