Chapter 58: Righteous Qi Peak, Evil Qi Peak!

After leaving Purple Lightning Peak, Chen Zheng rode without pause and, together with Jia Lan and the other women, arrived at a majestic peak in the Feather Ascension Mountains that looked as if a giant sword were thrust into the heavens.

The summit features a massive platform on which five resplendent golden‑and‑emerald palaces have been erected.

Surrounding the palaces are numerous brand‑new pavilions and towers, splendid and beautiful, rising amid swirling mist like a celestial sanctuary.

This is the True Transmission Peak that the Heavenly Crafts Institute had the Mighty Divine Demon construct for Chen Zheng.

In fact, the peak had already been completed as early as yesterday.

At that time, Chen Zheng was cultivating on Jia Lan Peak, and Jia Lan did not disturb him.

She also sent many female disciples of the Jia Lan Society to the mountain to tidy up, fetched numerous spiritual medicine seeds, and had the disciples plant them throughout the mountain and in the patchwork spirit fields at mid‑slope.

The little crane Xiao Hezi, who had once followed Chen Zheng into the underground world, finally got his wish and was summoned by Jia Lan to the peak, serving as the spirit‑beast overseer, commanding the celestial cranes, jade rabbits and other spirit beasts that Jia Lan brought for Chen Zheng from the Spirit Beast Institute.

Everything has been arranged in perfect order.

Those who don't know would think Jia Lan is Chen Zheng's "ideal partner."

At this moment, beside Jia Lan, a woman looked at Chen Zheng, who was scanning the peak, and giggled, "Junior Brother Chen, Senior Sister Jia Lan has put a lot of effort into your peak; when we sisters first established a mountain, she was never so attentive. So, Junior Brother Chen, are you still satisfied with Senior Sister Jia Lan?"

The woman was delicate in appearance, her eyes a faint emerald, with a subtle green flame; clearly a divine‑art cultivator, her practiced divine art matched that of the Jinshi Platform, also an Emerald Flame Seven‑Refinement Beam.

However, her realm was one level higher than the Jinshi Platform; she had already refined Daoist Gang Qi, reaching the third‑level Primordial Gang Realm of divine art.

She is called Ye Piaoling, also one of the Feather Ascension Sect's True Transmission disciples, and gets along well with Jia Lan.

Moreover, beside Jia Lan were two other female True Transmission disciples.

One exuded an aura as massive as the earth and as towering as a mountain, clearly cultivating the Mountain Chain Formation Gang, and was named Luo Shui.

The other had a sharp aura, occasional sword‑light flashing in her eyes, and, like Chen Zheng, practiced the Great Unbound Profound Golden Sword Qi; she was called Sha Qingmei.

As soon as Ye Piaoling spoke, Luo Shui and Sha Qingmei covered their mouths and giggled, their gazes flickering between Chen Zheng and Jia Lan with an ambiguous expression.

"You three."

Jia Lan glared at the three women in irritation, especially at the one who had first spoken up, Ye Piaoling.

She only saw Chen Zheng's huge potential and future extraordinary achievements, so she befriended him early.

The three women, however, misread it, thinking she was interested in Chen Zheng.

How could she have such thoughts?

However…

Jia Lan cast a glance at Chen Zheng.

Whether in appearance or talent, Chen Zheng is a top‑tier choice.

Earlier, when she saw Chen Zheng defeat the Jinshi Platform with a single move outside the Feather Ascension Mountains, she was astonished.

If in the future Chen Zheng reaches the Seventh Level Divine Art Golden Core Realm and attains the same realm as her, she wouldn't rule out considering a few possibilities.

"Very good, thank you, Senior Sister Jia Lan."

Chen Zheng seemed not to catch the meaning in Ye Piaoling's words, nor notice the other two women's ambiguous glances, and smiled innocently.

"Junior Brother Chen, have you thought of a name for this peak?" Jia Lan, fearing the other three women might speak out of turn, quickly asked Chen Zheng.

In fact, naming a peak is also a discipline.

Some people name peaks after themselves, such as her Jia Lan Peak, or Hua Tiandu's Heaven Capital Peak; you can tell the owner at a glance.

Others name them after the divine art they practice, like Fang Qingxue's Purple Lightning Peak or the Jinshi Platform's Emerald Flame Peak.

It remains unknown what name Chen Zheng will give his peak—"Chen Zheng Peak" or "Profound Golden Peak"?

"My whole being is righteous qi, so let the peak be called Righteous Qi Peak," Chen Zheng mused briefly, his face earnest. Righteous Qi Peak?

The women couldn't help but roll their eyes.

The words "Righteous Qi" do match Chen Zheng's outward temperament.

But the things Chen Zheng does seem unrelated to "Righteous Qi," right?

Having joined the Feather Ascension Sect for only a month, he openly killed Xiao Shi, Yuan Jiankong and others.

He also severed the arms of two True Transmission disciples in succession, and many disciples now secretly label him the most brutal True Transmission disciple, a dangerous individual not to be provoked.

"Righteous Qi Peak, marvelous! Ha ha, Junior Brother Chen not only cultivates at an extraordinary pace, but also secured a fine name," a hoarse old laugh echoed from afar.

Chen Zheng looked up and saw an elder riding the wind—none other than the Outer Gate Examination Officer, Elder Ma.

Beside Elder Ma stood another elder, Elder Zhou of the Sky Institute, who likewise said cheerfully, "Chen Zheng, I came uninvited; please don't find it strange."

The two elders each held gifts, evidently to congratulate Chen Zheng on today's founding of the peak.

Chen Zheng doesn't have many friends within the Feather Ascension Sect, and in fact he has little connection with these two elders.

This novel you…

But they have no ill intent; wanting to befriend me, they naturally wouldn't refuse.

"Elders…"

Chen Zheng was about to smile and welcome them.

But at that moment, a disdainful sneer rang from the far side: "Hehe, Righteous Qi Peak? Chen Zheng, what about you merits the word Righteous? I think your peak should be called Evil Qi Peak!"

Whoosh!

As soon as the words fell, two long rainbows burst through the sky from afar, landing on the Righteous Qi Peak plaza together with Elder Ma and Elder Zhou.

One of them had a snarling face, eyes cold as a poisonous snake, staring straight at Chen Zheng; it was Cang Bozi, whose lost right arm had been reattached.

The other was a handsome yet androgynous young man, exuding an extreme cold aura, as if his whole being were forged from ten‑thousand‑year ice, causing the temperature of the entire Righteous Qi Peak to plunge, coating the flora with a layer of white frost.

The androgynous youth did not look at Chen Zheng; instead he frowned at Jia Lan, his expression somewhat gloomy, apparently surprised that she was also present.

"Junior Brother Chen, this man is Jiang Lingkong, also one of our Feather Ascension Sect's True Transmission disciples and an important member of the Heaven Capital Association; he should be avenging Cang Bozi's severed arm against you."

Jia Lan withdrew the smile from her face, released a blue aura that dispelled the cold, and simultaneously introduced the androgynous man's identity to Chen Zheng.

Then she stepped forward, positioning herself in front of Chen Zheng.

Ye Piaoling, Luo Shui, Sha Qingmei, as well as Elder Ma and Elder Zhou, showed slight changes in expression, appearing somewhat wary of Jiang Lingkong.

"Jia Lan senior sister, the feud between my Heaven Capital Association and Chen Zheng is none of your business; I hope you won't interfere, otherwise when Brother Hua emerges from the barrier I won't have a good explanation."

Jiang Lingkong bowed his hand to Jia Lan, but his tone lacked the expected reverence.

He even hinted at a warning.

Cang Bozi's gaze at Jia Lan was even fiercer, as if he wanted to pounce and tear her apart, then harshly deal with Chen Zheng.

"Jiang Lingkong..."

"My matter, I'll handle it."

Jia Lan's face darkened, about to speak, when Chen Zheng suddenly stepped forward and circled to the front of her.
