Chapter 312: Chapter 312: The Misty Sect Transformed, Tower-Challenging Cultivation
Second-generation disciples were collectively dumbfounded.
They had never seen spiritual artifacts like the Spirit Beasts Platform and the Cultivation Tower before, and such massive ones at that, each occupying a separate mountain peak with its own Spirit Vein.
Gong Qingqiu and the First Generation disciples were equally baffled.
Having been in the Misty Sect for so long, they had never seen Ye Feng take out these two items before, and their curiosity was no less than that of the second-generation disciples.
“Lao Song, keep working!”
Ye Feng looked at the Spirit Beasts Platform and the Cultivation Tower with satisfaction, clapped his hands, and then gave the Thousand-Year Ancient Pine another task.
“Yes.”
The Thousand-Year Ancient Pine blinked.
Waving its dozens of green vines, it cleared the previously dug river channels, connecting them to the Flowing Water River and the river to the south of Misty Peak, forming a closed loop that stretched over twenty li, encircling the four mountains where the Misty Sect resided, like a large island covering several li.
Ye Feng’s transformation plan was thus essentially complete.
Looking at the lake surrounded by the four mountains, and then at the man-made canal that encircled the Misty Sect’s four mountains, Ye Feng was in a particularly good mood.
“From today onwards, the area enclosed by the canal is the core territory of our Misty Sect!”
Ye Feng exclaimed as he looked at this beautiful landscape.
A Star-Level Sect’s domain covers an area of two to three hundred li.
Including the entire Whitefloat City, even the distant Five-Colors City, Beacon Fire City, a large part of the Nanlu Mountain Range, a small part of the Yunxiao Great Forest, and the entirety of the Fuyun Gloomy Forest strictly speaking, all fall within the domain of the Misty Sect.
Therefore, this area surrounded by the canal is the core territory.
Xiao Lin Village.
The villagers, upon seeing the two new mountain peaks, were already struck dumb with amazement.
[Power of Faith +732]
Ye Feng received a system notification and looked around, figuring it must be the Power of Faith contributed by the villagers of Xiao Lin Village or the people of Whitefloat City.
“Wow!”
From the top of Misty Peak, Brother Flathead’s excited roar could be heard.
He flew up to the sky with the Little White Fox, the Whitefloat Five Immortals, and other Mountain Guardian Spirit Beasts, landing on the enormous Spirit Beasts Platform and releasing shouts of excitement.
“Wow, I feel like just lying here could improve my cultivation level!”
Fox Da Hong blinked her big, watery eyes, and along with the Little White Fox, Dog Er Ha, Pig San Pang, Toad Si Chu, Pumpkin Wu Gua, and other spiritual beasts, held hands in a circle, hopping and skipping around Brother Flathead.
“Wow!”
Brother Flathead stood upright and positioned himself at the center of the top tier of the Spirit Beasts Platform. He discovered that the spiritual energy here was rich and there was a nurturing and gentle breath being released, which made him quickly lie down and fall asleep.
“This mountain peak shall be named Spirit Beast Peak, and this stone platform called the Spirit Beasts Platform; from this day forward, this place will be the domain of you Mountain Guardian Spirit Beasts.”
Ye Feng’s resonant voice spread throughout the four mountains of the Misty Sect.
“Spirit Beast Peak, Spirit Beasts Platform!”
The disciples silently repeated these words, finally knowing the name of the stone platform.
Gong Qingqiu flew to the Spirit Beasts Platform, pointed at the Cultivation Tower hundreds of meters away, and asked, “Sect Leader, what is the purpose of that pagoda?”
“That is the Cultivation Tower.”
Ye Feng’s resonant voice carried through the air.
Both the first and second-generation disciples heard it loud and clear.
Ye Feng continued to introduce, “The Cultivation Tower is an Upper Grade pagoda with seven tiers. From the second tier onward, it features five major areas, including the Gravity Zone, Enlightenment Zone, Combat Zone, Illusionary Realm, and Opportunity Zone, specially designed for disciples to train and venture through.”
“So it’s a pagoda used for cultivation, no wonder it’s called the Cultivation Tower!” Long Tianxing realized, stepping on the Qingfeng Sword, the first to arrive underneath the tower.
“Sect Leader, may we now attempt to venture through the tower?” Shi Lei first saluted Ye Feng with cupped fists before asking politely.
“Of course, whether you are a First Generation or a second-generation disciple, if you need to, you can go to the Cultivation Tower for training,” Ye Feng responded.
“We can too?” The second-generation disciples were excited.
They quickly found their rooms, stored their bags, both big and small, stood atop the building, and gazed longingly at the Cultivation Tower a thousand meters away.
“Fellow junior brothers and sisters, we haven’t officially started our training, and we can’t fly yet. It’ll be quite challenging to scale mountains and valleys to reach the Cultivation Peak, so it’s better to cultivate steadily on solid ground first. We can wait until our cultivation level is sufficient before going over there,” said Xu Dalei to the many second-generation disciples around him.
In the second-generation disciples, his cultivation level and talent were second only to Mu Sisi, making him the big senior brother among the second-generation disciples.
His words quickly resonated with the other second-generation disciples.
“Xu Dalei is right. You have just joined the sect, and you should not aim too high too fast. Starting tomorrow, this elder will personally teach you how to cultivate,” said an elder to them.
Gong Qingqiu returned to Misty Peak and said to all the second-generation disciples.
“Yes.”
Everyone bowed in response.
…
At the base of the Cultivation Tower.
All first-generation disciples were assembled.
Ever since joining the Misty Sect, even Yu Su and Yu Wei, who originally had the lowest cultivation levels, had, with the help of elixirs, broken through to the fifth level of Qi Refinement and incidentally reached Minor Achievement stage in learning “Falling Blooms in Profusion”.
“Is this the Cultivation Tower?”
“Let’s go in!”
As the head senior brother, Shi Lei was the first to enter.
Following closely were Long Tianxing, Mo Ying, Huo Yunjie, and others.
The first floor of the Cultivation Tower.
“The interior turns out to be a miniature Cave Heaven World, the space is vast.” Long Tianxing, with the sharpest observational skills, had already started surveying his surroundings upon entering the first floor of the tower.
The first floor was relatively open and spacious.
This was an inner space with a diameter of three hundred meters and a height of about one hundred meters.
A Spirit Gathering Array had been set up here that could absorb spiritual energy from the spirit vein under Cultivation Peak, making the density of the spiritual energy here twice that of the miniature spirit vein.
“The first floor is very suitable for cultivation. Even if we don’t attempt climbing the tower and just stay on the first floor, we can gain improvements,” Shi Lei offered his personal opinion.
“Senior brother, let’s continue to the second floor!” Long Tianxing suggested.
Without hesitation, everyone moved to the central area of the first floor and ascended to the second floor along the spiral staircase there.
“The second floor is about the same size as the first, doesn’t seem to have anything special?” Long Tianxing muttered.
“Don’t be fooled by appearances,” Mo Ying spoke.
As she said this, she stepped forward and set foot on the floor of the second level.
Thud!
A dull sound arose as if she had landed on the ground with a thousand pounds on her back, causing Mo Ying to bend over and tremble all over.
“Ten times gravity!”
Mo Ying stated in a heavy tone, gritting her teeth, “Be careful, everyone. Ten times gravity is no joke.”
“Okay.”
The others nodded in agreement.
“Ahhh!” Long Tianxing transformed into his Dragon Transformation Form on the stairs, then leaped onto the second-floor gravity zone, enduring the tenfold gravity.
Crack!
Crisp sounds emerged from his bones.
This wasn’t the sound of breaking, but rather the friction due to the intense pressure, which almost made him unable to persist as his body trembled slightly.
“So this is the gravity zone, well suited for my cultivation!” Qiao Jiaxi also jumped to the second floor. As someone who practiced body cultivation, frequently weathering waterfall torrents and beatings from armored guardians, he had great endurance.
“So heavy!”
The others entered the second floor in succession, all feeling enormous pressure.
With every moment they persisted, they found that their spiritual energy consumption rate surged, and it wasn’t long before they felt like their Qi Seas were being depleted.
Bang!
Wang Ping’an, with the lowest cultivation, was the first to exhaust his spiritual energy, slumping to the ground and being repelled by an invisible force, sliding down the spiral staircase to the first floor.
“So tiring!”
Clutching his big black pot, Wang Ping’an felt very uncomfortable all over.
Bang! Bang!
Yu Su and Yu Wei, also drained of strength, fell to the first floor.
Following them were the siblings, Ouyang Feng and Ouyang Yu.
“What’s the purpose of the gravity zone anyway?”
At this point, Long Tianxing, who was standing in a horse stance and enduring tenfold gravity, voiced this question, drawing the attention of everyone present.
