Path to Heaven

“Mystic Wind Sect’s true power is really astounding. A flying artifact of that size minimally requires several formation arrays to sustain its flight. An ordinary sect wouldn’t be able to construct such a flying artifact.”

“Obviously. Of the past millennium, Mystic Wind Sect has stayed amongst the top 10 sects of Heavenly Profound Continent. They don’t lack Golden Dan Stage Daomasters, and even possessed a monarch of the Divine Mystic Stage! Their reserves and unseen strength is simply frighteningly unimaginable!”

“Divine King Gold Boat! That must be Mystic Wind Sect’s Divine King Gold Boat! Only a Divine Mystic Stage cultivator can forge such an artifact. Its frame itself is definitely a Mid-grade Path Class artifact!”

Upon witnessing such an astronomical golden boat, Wan Feng and friends were shell-shocked. Even the most quiet Yang Buhui and Qian Li gasped.

“Divine King Gold Boat? Mid-grade Path Class artifact?”

Hearing the gasp of those youths, Wei Suo couldn’t help but take more glances at the golden boat. Besides, it was his first time seeing a Path Class artifact.

A Path Class artifact, even a sect like Heaven’s First Sect only possessed one or two.

The more he looked, the more pressure he felt from this tremendous shadow. Wei Suo was sure that if this giant golden boat really crushed down, based on his personal cultivation and strength, he definitely couldn’t resist it.

“Quickly look! The Divine King Gold Boat is descending! The Mystic Wind Sect’s Recruitment Assembly is about to begin.”

Following Wan Feng’s exclamation, the giant golden boat that was floated above this mountain valley gradually begun descending.

“Let’s go!”

Wei Suo waved his hands and flew up first.

Years of indulgence in Shui Ling’er’s portrait, one could say she was even his earliest motivation to cultivate; a lover of his dreams. If Shui Ling’er was really present and showed up for a brief moment, missing it would be his greatest regret.

“Senior, ordinary cultivators are prohibited from flying over 10 meters above the ground. Do not violate this or disciples of Lost Mist Sect will act!”

After warning Wei Suo, Wan Feng immediately sprinted forth.

The mountain valley the Divine King Gold Boat was floating above was called Spirit Mushroom Valley.

The mountain valley spanned dozens of li in radius and violet Nature Spirit Mushrooms grew within it. The Nature Spirit Mushrooms could nurse the health of regular mortals but weren’t that useful to cultivators. Thus, the Nature Spirit Mushrooms here grew excessively to heights of two individuals and appeared like massive violet umbrellas.

By the time Wei Suo and company reached the edge of Spirit Mushroom Valley, the entire place was filled with a frightening amount of cultivators; minimally 100,000 or so.

The Divine King Gold Boat descended but continued hovering 10 meters above ground level, exhibiting itself as an imperious golden platform.

Upon closer look, this giant boat looked like a decorated pleasure boat with a two-storey pavilion on top. The entire boat seemed to be forged with essence metal and its sheer mass felt exceedingly pressurizing. Its exterior didn’t reveal any distinctive talismanic patterns, but rather, filled with various scars created by skills and artifacts. The boat incited momentus vigor into the hearts of all onlookers.

A white divine light screen covered the entire deck and pavilion of the giant boat, where the boat’s hull emanated golden rippling waves that permeated across the entire valley.

At present, the bow of this boat exhibited three cyan jade lotus seats. Three flamboyant elders were seated above them, where their features appeared indistinct because of the divine light screen.

In front of those three elders, was an average sized red jade-like artifact. This artifact took the shape of a toad and was engraved with innumerable gold teal talismanic patterns. It appeared incredibly unique.

“What’s going on?”

Wei Suo randomly asked a purple-robed cultivator after noticing the cultivators around waiting for something.

The purple-robed cultivator was also a Divine Sea Stage cultivator. Sensing that Wei Suo was a Heavenly Circuit Stage cultivator, he didn’t dare to offend him and quickly explained.

“Those three are elders of the Mystic Wind Sect responsible for this time’s Recruitment Assembly in Lost Mist City. The three of them already made an opening speech. Following that, a few disciples will display the cultivation and skill techniques of Mystic Wind Sect for everyone.”

“Then is Shui Ling’er amongst those few disciples?” Another cultivator who just arrived also excitedly interrupted and asked the purple-robed cultivator.

“Wakao! Wanting Shui Ling’er with this kind of appearance?” Wei Suo rolled his eyes and almost fainted after a glimpse. This new guy was a head shorter than Wei Suo. He was like a short winter melon with a biscuit face. Moreover, he appeared in his forties with his nose hair leaking out.

The purple-robed cultivator’s mouth slanted wryly when he observed the new guy’s mouth-watering look. Still, he nodded and replied, “They only mentioned that a few disciples will exhibit, but didn’t talk about any Shui Ling’er.”

At this moment, a young disciple of Mystic Wind Sect trudged out from the pavilion of the giant golden boat.

This young disciple wore a white robe and had sword-like brows. His eyes shone brightly with an impression of freedom of the mortal world while striving for immortality.

Wei Suo swept a gaze through and observed that the amount of cultivators here in Spirit Mushroom Valley was exceedingly dense. If not for the cultivators here being wary of each other and maintaining a tiny distance, even a single droplet of water wouldn’t be able to squeeze through the crowd.

Yet in contrast, beneath the golden radiance, the violet purple umbrellas of the valley appeared sparser. Individuals monopolized a single violet Nature Mushroom each and some even sat on them in a meditative posture. Moreover, as one ventured deeper into this valley, the sparser the amount of cultivators became.

Wei Suo understood the golden radiance emitted by the Divine King Gold Boat was definitely mysterious. He no longer cared about Wan Feng and company and headed deeper into the valley.

Indeed, as he reached the area of thicker gold radiance, Wei Suo immediately felt a tremendous pressure. Furthermore, the pressure wasn’t on his body but directed to his divine sense.

The pressure on one’s divine sense only grew larger as one ventured deeper. For an ordinary Heavenly Circuit Stage level 2 or lower cultivator, they would no longer be able to advance after walking 12-15 meters into the area enveloped by the golden radiance.

Wei Suo could sense that his level of divine sense could roughly reach at most 300 meters deep. Nevertheless, after strolling to the limits of an ordinary Heavenly Circuit level 3 cultivator, he halted and mimicked other cultivators to pick a violet Nature Spirit Mushroom to sit on.

After sitting, Wei Suo naturally swept forth with his Aura Determining Technique. However, he failed to see anything. Evidently, Mystic Wind Sect’s white divine light screen could also obstruct individuals from probing within.

Right in this instant, that dashing white-robed Mystic Wind Sect’s disciple soared through the air elegantly and out of the white screen.

After probing with his Aura Determining Technique, Wei Suo realized this disciple had 8 cyan regiments of divine sea brilliance. He was shockingly a Heavenly Circuit Stage level 3 disciple, and based on the brilliant intensity of the divine sea brilliance, he should be cultivating a low-level Earth Rank cultivation technique.

“Is this the inner sect disciple the Mystic Wind Sect wishes to boast about? Doesn’t seem very extraordinary.”

At present, after broadening his horizons from his adventures, Wei Suo didn’t really place such a cultivation in his eyes. Yet after murmuring these words to himself, that Mystic Wind Sect disciple, still floating in the air, called out with a clear voice.

“This one’s name is Xin Wuyue. Four years ago, I became a Mystic Wind Sect disciple through the recruitment assembly held in Lost Mist City. Back then, I only had the cultivation of Divine Sea Stage level 3. Therefore, to all cultivators present today, regardless of one’s level of cultivation, as long as your innate talent is remarkable or exhibits any unique points, you all stand a chance in today’s Grand Recruitment Assembly!”

“Four years?”

Gasps of air could be heard around when Xin Wuyue broadcasted his speech. Even Wei Suo felt a little dumbfounded.

Improving one’s cultivation from Divine Sea Stage level 3 to Heavenly Circuit Stage level 3 within four years. Moreover, one who cultivated a low-level Earth Rank cultivation technique. To advance at such a pace without any Heaven Mending Pellets, even if Wei Suo discarded his Purple Mystic True Technique and trained with a low-level Earth Rank cultivation techniques, and even with the assistance of the green gowned Old Man, four years may not be sufficient to raise his cultivation from Divine Sea Stage level 3 to Heavenly Circuit Stage level 3.

“Pardon this one for embarrassing myself.”

This dashing Mystic Wind Sect disciple, Xin Wuyue, cut straight to the chase and directly demonstrated himself.

A streak of cyan true energy flushed out of his hands, creating waves of cyan astral winds that circled his body at an astonishing pace. Then, they transformed into a 19 petals cyan lotus that was larger than himself by many times. It looked as though he was the white core of that lotus.

Wei Suo’s expression changed as he observed Xin Wuyue’s hand motions. The 19 petals lotus suddenly dispersed and shot out the petals, releasing violent explosions in the air. In a flash, the petals covered 300 meters and carried booming sounds before unleashing cyan wind blades that were two foot long. Soon after, the entire air was covered with over a thousand of such dancing wind blades.

Such a skill technique was at least a Mid-level Earth Rank skill technique. If Wei Suo wasn’t wrong, this skill technique acted both defensively and offensively. The original 19 petals lotus appeared like artifact shields that could block off skill or artifact attacks.

“Mythfiend Path Lotus! A famous wind element skill technique of the Mystic Wind Sect.”

“Just four years, and this disciple trains in an Earth rank cultivation and skill technique. Seems like this disciple is striving his utmost to earn great merits for the Mystic Wind Sect.”

At this moment, a voice drifted in from Wei Suo’s left.
