Chapter 71

"From this moment on, the Shanmen is sealed. Unrelated persons may no longer ascend the mountain. If you wish to take a master, come back in ten years."

Zhang Taixuan waved his hand, and a thick fog spread out.

Immediately after, Mount Taixuan vanished from everyone's sight.

When refining Mount Taixuan, Zhang Taixuan had already branded formations for gathering spiritual energy, defense, concealment, and the like into it.

These formations were naturally commonplace in a fantasy world, but in this world they were utterly miraculous—no matter how others searched, they could not find where Mount Taixuan was.

With the Shanmen sealed, the group, led by Huang Yaoshi, found their respective dwellings and began to cultivate.

Even the outer disciples were now trembling with excitement.

Outer disciples could receive a prenatal cultivation method—how could they have ever dared imagine such a thing before?

One must understand that previously, even the number-one sect under heaven, the Quanzhen Sect, did not possess a cultivation method that led directly to the prenatal realm.

With the spiritual pills refined by Zhang Taixuan as a foundation, in less than half a day, over a thousand formidable auras surged skyward within the Taixuan Sect.

Several thousand at the prenatal realm, and two land-immortal-level experts.

This force was more than enough to suppress everything in this world.

Having broken through his current realm, Zhang Taixuan arranged for Huang Yaoshi to draw up the sect rules and instruct the disciples.

These people had passed the Heart-Questioning Path; whether in temperament or in character, they were well assured. Huang Yaoshi found teaching them very easy, and not a single problem arose.

Handing the miscellaneous affairs over to Huang Yaoshi, Zhang Taixuan had already entered the starry cosmos.

With the Space-Folding Art, he could enter the cosmos without needing to reach the Sage realm.

Add to that the Qiankun Cauldron protecting his body, and there was not the slightest danger.

Wandering through the Milky Way, whenever he saw asteroids or meteorites containing earth and water, Zhang Taixuan collected them into the small world within his gourd.

In less than half a day, the land of the small world within the gourd—nearly eighty million square kilometers—had gained a hundred-li-thick layer of soil, along with several hundred lakes of varying sizes, scattered like stars across the land.

After collecting so much material, the world showed no reaction at all.

Zhang Taixuan gave it a little thought and understood the reason—even a small thousand-world contained an immense amount of matter.

In a single Milky Way, there were hundreds of billions of stars, and the number of other material bodies was beyond counting.

The bit of matter Zhang Taixuan had taken was, for this small world of The Legend of the Condor Heroes, nothing more than a speck of dust—not worth mentioning.

After collecting soil and water, Zhang Taixuan folded space once more and returned to the Taixuan Sect.

That evening.

Zhang Taixuan was preparing to cultivate when Huang Rong came to find him.

Toward the other members of the chat group, Huang Rong was extremely wary; anxious in her heart, she could no longer bother with propriety.

Zhang Taixuan naturally welcomed all comers.

The night passed without incident.

Over the next few days, Zhang Taixuan enjoyed the beauty's attentions while guiding Huang Rong's cultivation, bringing her to the peak of the land-immortal realm.

Besides that, her treasured sword, storage ring, clothes, and hairpin were all replaced with new ones—upgraded to Zhang Taixuan's finest works.

Although Huang Rong's current strength was not much greater than before, in terms of combat ability she could now instantly kill her former self.

Chat group.

Huang Rong: "Today I accompanied Brother Taixuan around Mount Taixuan—so happy! 【Image】"

Su Xiao: "Hm? Sister Rong, you changed your ring?"

Kasumigaoka Utaha: "Not just that—the clothes, the dangling hairpin, the treasured sword, they're all quite extraordinary. Could these be a gift from Zhang-san?"

Yotsuya Miko: "【Alert】 Is Sister Huang here to show off? How hateful—when is Brother Zhang coming to my side?"

Kasumigaoka Utaha: "Oh, Miko's getting impatient too!"

Yue Buqun: "I envy you as well. Immortal, I have a daughter—I wonder if the Immortal might be interested?"

Yukinoshiro Yukino: "Eek?!"

Su Xiao: "Sect Master Yue is about to activate his signature skill. Zhang Taixuan, be careful."

Zhang Taixuan: "【Speechless】 Enough, all of you. You're making me sound like some kind of lecher."

Su Xiao: "Isn't he?"

Zhang Taixuan: "Slander! When I was in the Divine Void Grotto-Heaven, with all those beautiful senior sisters and junior sisters, I didn't trouble a single one of them."

Su Xiao: "【I don't believe it!】"

Zhang Taixuan: "I think your skin is itching. When I have time, I'll have to go over there and deal with you."

Kasumigaoka Utaha: "Oh? I suddenly realize Miss Su is quite the schemer."

Su Xiao: "Am I? She's slandering me!"

Yotsuya Miko: "【Alert】 Why did so many rivals suddenly appear?!"

Su Xiao: "Hehe! Right, I've gathered all the people on my side—when should I send them over to you?"

Zhang Taixuan: "Perfect timing. 【Red Packet】 By the way, these are spiritual peaches found in the Mount Kunlun valley. They've now been planted in the world within the gourd. The flavor's not bad—everyone try some."

【Ding. Kasumigaoka Utaha has grabbed your Red Packet.】

【Ding. Yukinoshiro Yukino has grabbed your Red Packet.】

【...】

Su Xiao: "Such a big peach. And it tastes pretty good too—can something like this really be produced in The Legend of the Condor Heroes world?"

Lin Fengjiao: "This peach is brimming with spiritual energy. Could it be that Miss Huang's world is quite extraordinary?"

Zhang Taixuan: "It's not because of the world. It's the result of my casting the Sweet Rain Spell. Right now, this peach is useful for any cultivator below the land-immortal realm. In the future, if I set up more formations and continue improving it, it may well become a kind of immortal peach."
