Chapter 54

This speed looks very fast.

Suddenly, Jiang Yan turned his head and said:

"Pay attention, the Seven Sceneries of Shushan, the Bamboo Waves of Green Screen."

Everyone looked in the direction Jiang Yan was pointing.

Even though they had already had their horizons greatly broadened by the wondrous and miraculous scenery of Shushan today, looking at it again now, they still couldn't help but be shocked into silence.

Looking into the distance below, the dense mountain forests connected into a single line, as if they were some kind of natural barrier.

It was like a verdant green rampart, holding back the endless frost.

Within it lay an endless stretch of bamboo forest.

Everyone finally understood why it was called Bamboo Waves.

That bamboo forest, covering the mountains and plains, seemed in a daze to have formed an ocean; when the wind blew, the bamboo forest swayed and rustled.

It was like wave after wave of billows rolling past.

It was breathtakingly beautiful.

It was just a pity that such scenery was fleeting, and everyone was already standing on the Rainbow Bridge, crossing the sea of clouds.

They couldn't help but feel a bit of regret that they couldn't see more of it.

However, this also stirred up everyone's motivation.

As long as they cultivated immortality well and learned how to fly on a sword, such beautiful scenery, and even more beautiful scenery, could be seen at any time.

Just thinking about it made them feel refreshed and happy.

Afterwards, under Jiang Yan's guidance, everyone saw even more wonders.

As for the Rainbow Bridge, everyone finally understood it as well.

It was built with rainbows between the seven pulses, connecting them together, according to what Jiang Yan said.

This was the only way for disciples who couldn't fly on swords to travel between the various peaks.

The Rainbow Bridge was equivalent to an elevator.

But it was an elevator that needed to burn spiritual energy.

However, there was no shortage of anything in the grotto-heaven, except for spiritual energy; if it was really used up quickly, at worst, they could just open a few more openings.

Absorb it from the Quantum Sea.

The Quantum Sea had an inexhaustible amount of spiritual energy.

It was just a pity that due to time constraints, everyone didn't get to see the Platform and Flying Clouds.

But there would be plenty of opportunities in the future.

Jiang Yan took the opportunity to explain the stories of the Seven Pulses of Shushan to everyone.

The Heaven-Reaching Peak representing the Sect Leader, the Dragon Head Peak in charge of punishment, the Small Bamboo Peak which was entirely women...

He also talked about the magnificent and spectacular Seven Pulses Martial Arts Tournament back in the day.

Countless heaven-gifted geniuses competed, just to win the top spot for themselves and the pulse they represented, and to make a name for themselves in the world.

Hearing this, everyone wished they could have been born in the Shushan of that time, to witness it with their own eyes, or even participate in such a tournament of geniuses.

All these stories, Jiang Yan brought them up effortlessly, as if it were truly like that back then...

He even said many of the words subconsciously.

Why was this? He felt a bit suspicious.

But there were still some serious matters at hand, so he didn't have the time to think too much, just burying it in his heart for the time being.

Without realizing it, everyone was sent by the Rainbow Bridge to the Heaven-Reaching Peak at the very center.

It sounded like a long time, but it was actually only about four or five minutes.

The situation they had expected, where the summit of Heaven-Reaching Peak would be narrow and difficult to stand on, did not appear.

In fact, all seven peaks were the same; the mountain tops looked as if they had been cut off by a single blade, becoming a huge platform.

Standing on the mountain top and looking down, from the halfway point of each peak, there were sparse little houses.

They possessed the characteristics of each peak.

Some were just piled up with stones, some were indeed wooden houses, and so on.

The scenery of all four seasons could be seen on the Seven Pulses of Shushan.

It was just a pity that those houses were relatively simple.

Ningguang felt emotional in her heart, but then secretly sighed at her own worldliness.

People who cultivate immortality love purity and do not care about these worldly things.

They wouldn't care about what the houses were like.

If one had to say, the immortals were the happiest.

This kind of place perfectly met the place for cultivating immortality that they dreamed of.

Secluded, safe, and with beautiful scenery.

Being able to cultivate immortality here, one's state of mind would probably become younger day by day.

It was just that Jiang Yan felt a bit regretful.

Although everything seemed to be complete here, in reality, the most important buildings for a sect of immortality were completely missing.

Things like the Scripture Library, Alchemy Pavilion, Artifact Refining Pavilion, Transmission Hall, etc...

There were none at all.

Jiang Yan could build the buildings, but what was the use of those empty shells?

The cultivation techniques, pills... within them...

Who would provide these?

Jiang Yan could only hope that the system would be of some use, otherwise he would have to figure out and dismantle cultivation techniques from the Huang Ting Jade View Scripture.

This was a huge project.

As for things like pills...

With so many disciples, someone would eventually shoulder the heavy responsibility.

Everyone watched the scenery below for a while, and they truly understood the feeling of "standing at the peak, looking down at all the mountains."

A moment later, they turned their heads back to look behind them with some reluctance.

At the very top of Heaven-Reaching Peak, there was only one solemn, majestic, and upright palace.

Above the palace, it was still engraved with the same font as the Shushan mountain gate.

"Sect Main Hall."

These four words, they also felt it in the dark.

Through the open door, one could see on the wall at the very back of the main hall, a simple and unadorned "Dao" character was written.

Apart from that, there were only seven meditation cushions placed in the center of the floor.

On both sides of the main hall, one side was a dense bamboo forest spreading down to the halfway point of the mountain, and the other side was a neat peach forest.

Hmm...

It could be seen that the people of Shushan really liked bamboo.

Directly in front of the main hall was a large golden bell, engraved with difficult-to-understand patterns, which looked extraordinary at first glance.

Especially those patterns, looking at them, always made people get lost in them.

Seeing that everyone was so curious about this large bell, Jiang Yan smiled and said:

"This is one of the treasures of the Shushan sect, the Jade Chime Golden Bell."

"However, it is not the original version, but a mid-grade spiritual artifact that I refined last night."

Zhongli and the others were a bit surprised.

Even the Primordial Jade Cutter was only a low-grade spiritual artifact now, and Keqing's mid-grade catalyst was already incredibly strong.

A mid-grade spiritual artifact, what kind of strength would that be?

Seeming to see through everyone's thoughts, Jiang Yan smiled and shook his head.

"The Jade Chime Golden Bell does not have very strong attack power, or even one could say it has no attack power; at the very least, this golden bell is like that right now."

"The Jade Chime Golden Bell is a very important magical treasure of Shushan."

"The Jade Chime Golden Bell of the past was a top-tier immortal artifact, and there was a saying that 'a single ring of the golden bell shakes the heavens and earth, and immortals, gods, Buddhas, and ghosts are all in vain'."

"Once the golden bell comes out, the heavens and earth bow their heads."

"It is a true treasure of the sect, with unparalleled offense and defense, and can only be driven by the sect leader and the various elders working together."

"Relying on the Jade Chime Golden Bell, the Shushan of the past survived countless crises of annihilation."
