Chapter 13 Galaxy Peak

Chapter 13 Galaxy Peak

"Let's go, I will take you to complete the initiation procedures."

After Elder Lu finished speaking, he flicked his sleeves and vanished from the reception desk, taking Zhang Yuhe with him.

Zhao Qingqing at the scene still wore an expression full of envy.

"Sigh, I wonder when I can also become a Disciple."

"It seems I need to work even harder. As long as I advance to the Nascent Soul, I can apply to join the Inner Sect."

After silently cheering herself on, Zhao Qingqing sat cross-legged right there at the reception desk.

Elder Lu brought Zhang Yuhe away from the reception desk and quickly arrived outside a grand hall.

A Cultivator in cyan robes hurriedly walked out of the grand hall and respectfully shouted,

"Disciple Cheng Xujing pays respects to Elder Lu."

The white-robed Elder nodded in acknowledgment, then pointed at Zhang Yuhe beside him and spoke.

"Handle the Inner Sect identity for him."

"Inner Sect?"

Cheng Xujing asked in a low voice to confirm.

If the person speaking opposite him weren't an Elder, he would have wanted to slap him across the face.

Looking at Zhang Yuhe's aura, it was clearly only at the Qi stage. How could the Dao Saint Sect have an Inner Sect Disciple at the Qi stage?

Furthermore, Zhang Yuhe wasn't even an Outer Sect Disciple yet, yet he was joining the Inner Sect directly upon arrival.

Isn't this too absurd?

Even if he were the descendant of an Old Ancestor within the Sect, he couldn't pull strings to this extent.

Besides, there had been no word recently about any descendant of an Old Ancestor wanting to join the Sect.

Just which divine being is this?

"Correct. From now on, he is an Inner Sect Disciple of the Dao Saint Sect. I will report this matter to the Sect Master. Just do as I say."

The white-robed Elder clearly had no intention of explaining.

Cheng Xujing couldn't help feeling a bit awkward.

Seeing this situation, Zhang Yuhe quickly tried to ease the atmosphere, cupping his fists toward Cheng Xujing and calling out,

"Senior Brother Cheng."

"I wouldn't dare, I wouldn't dare… Just call me Cheng Xujing or Junior Brother Cheng."

Cheng Xujing waved his hand hurriedly; he was merely an Outer Sect Disciple of the Dao Saint Sect.

As a Sect deacon, he served in the Deacon Hall.

Within the Dao Saint Sect, Outer Sect Disciples needed to handle various chores.

For instance, he was in the Deacon Hall, while Zhao Qingqing was at the reception desk outside the mountain gate.

However, Inner Sect Disciples did not need to do these things. They either stayed peacefully in the Sect to Cultivate or went out to guard a territory, which could be said to be very free and unfettered.

Zhang Yuhe would soon become an official Inner Sect Disciple, so Cheng Xujing didn't dare to act arrogantly.

Although he had already stepped into the Golden Core realm, his strength was far superior to Zhang Yuhe's.

However, in the world of cultivation, aside from looking at strength, status was also very important.

Even though Zhang Yuhe was only a Qi Cultivator, with the status of an Inner Sect Disciple of the Dao Saint Sect, no one would dare to look down upon him.

Cheng Xujing was very curious why Zhang Yuhe, a tiny little Qi Cultivator, could ascend to the heavens in a single bound and enter the Inner Sect.

It's just that Elder Lu had no intention of explaining, so he could only temporarily suppress his curiosity and handle the official business first.

He respectfully asked Zhang Yuhe,

"May I ask how Senior Brother is addressed?"

Cheng Xujing took out a book-shaped Magical Artifact, preparing to record the information.

"Zhang Yuhe."

"Age?"

With the identity record completed, Cheng Xujing took out another Jade Slip and handed it over.

"Senior Brother Zhang, Inner Sect Disciples can choose an independent peak as their own cultivation Immortal Cave. Please select the peak you want on this?"

Hearing this, Zhang Yuhe couldn't help but reveal a look of joy.

There is such a good thing?

An independent peak as a cultivation Immortal Cave sounded extremely high-class just hearing about it.

He took the Jade Slip to inspect it, and a vast map appeared in his field of vision.

This was the mountain gate map of the Dao Saint Sect, which not only depicted countless peaks but even rivers and lakes.

The vastness of the Dao Saint Sect's mountain gate was beyond his imagination.

However, on the map, there were so many colors marked, and some were blank. What did this mean?

Zhang Yuhe was completely baffled as he looked at it, and he couldn't help scratching his head and asking,

"Junior Brother Cheng, how should this map be read?"

If you don't understand, ask; humbly seeking guidance is not shameful.

"The cyan part is the Outer Sect area, the purple part is the Inner Sect area, and the red part is where the Elders Cultivate."

"Then what kind of places are these black areas?"

The map marked a total of four colors, but Cheng Xujing only mentioned three, leaving out the other one.

Therefore, Zhang Yuhe could only ask again to avoid walking into the wrong place and committing a taboo in the future.

"I don't know either. It's just that the Sect has a rule that all Disciples are forbidden from entering the black areas."

Fine, perhaps it was some secret place. Zhang Yuhe didn't have much curiosity; he just shouldn't go to those places in the future.

He continued to ask,

"Junior Brother Cheng, please enlighten me on how to choose this peak and Immortal Cave."

There was no manual provided with the map, making him have no idea where to start.

"The blank spaces in the purple area indicate that they are temporarily uninhabited. Senior Brother Zhang can choose a favorite peak from these places."

Zhang Yuhe nodded to show he understood.

He took out the map to inspect it again. The blank positions in the red area were not few; a rough count showed roughly several hundred places.

"What position should I choose? Let's go with this one."

Zhang Yuhe quickly made his choice. He found a relatively remote peak, and at the foot of the peak, there was a small lake.

With mountains and water, it looked very comfortable.

Cheng Xujing took back the map, saw the position chosen by Zhang Yuhe, marked it, and asked him,

"May I ask what name Senior Brother plans to give your peak?"

"Galaxy Peak."

Zhang Yuhe answered without even thinking.

He was a player from Blue Star, and heading towards the sea of stars was the dream of every Blue Star person.

"Alright."

Cheng Xujing put away the map and walked back into the grand hall. After a short while, he came out carrying a ring.

He handed the ring to Zhang Yuhe and said,

"Senior Brother Zhang, these are your things. Please keep them safe."

Zhang Yuhe took the ring, and his Divine Sense probed inside. There was only a Jade Slip, a few pieces of clothing, and a jade token in the ring.

Seeing that they had finally finished handling the matters, Elder Lu, who was standing to the side, spoke up.

"I'll be leaving first. Cultivate well. The Inner Sect of the Dao Saint Sect is not so easy to stay in; this is a responsibility."

After speaking, he turned into a streak of light and vanished into the distance.

Seeing Elder Lu leave, Cheng Xujing breathed a sigh of relief. The Elder's aura was far too overwhelming, making him somewhat nervous.

He smiled and said to Zhang Yuhe,

"Senior Brother Zhang, Galaxy Peak is some distance away from here. How about I send you over?"

"Then I will have to trouble Junior Brother."

Hearing this, Zhang Yuhe quickly cupped his fists to express his gratitude.

To be honest, the mountain gate of the Dao Saint Sect was indeed ridiculously large. With his Qi cultivation, wanting to fly to his own territory would probably take most of a day.

Being weak in strength was truly awkward; he had to hurry up and Cultivate.

Otherwise, walking around within the Sect might require hitching a ride with others, which would be a bit losing face.

"Senior Brother is too polite."

Cheng Xujing waved his right hand, and an exquisite flying boat appeared before their eyes.

The two stepped onto the flying boat and quickly flew away into the distance.

"May I boldly ask, how did Senior Brother join the Sect?"

Standing on the flying boat, Cheng Xujing finally couldn't hold back the curiosity in his heart and asked Zhang Yuhe.

"Good luck. I accidentally obtained a token, and relying on that token, I was fortunate enough to join the Dao Saint Sect."

Zhang Yuhe didn't hide it either; this wasn't anything shameful to see the light of day.

Moreover, he believed that this matter would probably spread throughout the entire Sect very soon.

After all, an Inner Sect Disciple had inexplicably been added, and it would be strange if the other Disciples didn't start gossiping about it.

"Senior Brother truly has a great Opportunity."

After a long while, Cheng Xujing couldn't help sighing with emotion.

He knew about the tokens of the Dao Saint Sect, but he hadn't expected that even after nearly 100,000 years, a token was still drifting outside, and it happened to be acquired by Zhang Yuhe.

Such luck genuinely made him envious.

Zhang Yuhe, standing beside him, did not know Cheng Xujing's inner thoughts.

If he had known, he might have said that it was just a matter of hacking a tiger monster to death—player benefits that you natives don't understand.

Hehehe…
