Chapter 31: Report from the Cheng Tian Pavilion
Since You You had decided to accept her status as the celestial maiden, she needed to take it seriously. However, being an outsider, she knew little about local customs or her duties. Lin Feng understood some basics, but only from the perspective of ordinary people, not cultivators.
You You urgently needed to grasp this world’s power structure. Though her game system allowed her to use skills for self-defense, their effects puzzled her. The Revitalizing Technique could plant spiritual roots, while the Fire Prison Flower Rain—a basic attack skill—had flattened an entire meadow. She couldn’t risk using abilities blindly, fearing unintended consequences. That’s why she’d let the little monster handle the two fifth-level monsters attacking Shangyang City—one misplaced skill might’ve destroyed the city itself.
She sought cultivation knowledge, but the Xu family’s stammering cultivator proved useless. He did share one key tradition: every new celestial maiden must visit the Cheng Tian Pavilion to comprehend the Heavenly Dao, announce her presence, and establish a sect. The pavilion, where the first celestial maiden appeared, served as a gathering point for unaffiliated immortal clans to pledge allegiance.
You You saw this as a fundraising opportunity. With no resources beyond her spiritual root-planting technique, partnering with investing families made sense—mutual benefit for building a sect. Relieved, she left Shangyang City days later.
Her expanded group—now including the Lin and Yin families—was too large to travel together. She chose Lin Feng, Yin Fan, and Liu Qing, the most advanced cultivators. Lin Feng and Yin Fan had reached the Foundation Establishment Stage immediately after awakening their spiritual roots, while Liu Qing achieved Great Perfection in Qi Refinement. The Xu cultivator explained cultivation stages: Qi Refinement, Foundation Building, Golden Core, Nascent Soul, and God Transformation, followed by ascension. Directly reaching Foundation Establishment was rare, marking elite talent.
The Xu cultivator (who repeatedly corrected his surname to Jin) offered a wooden flying boat. After five days, they breached a barrier into a realm of intensified spiritual energy. Floating Islands draped in waterfalls dotted the sky, and mystical creatures soared past.
“Cultivator Xu, is this the Cheng Tian Pavilion?” You You asked.
“My surname is Jin…” he muttered weakly. “We’re near the main hall.”
Fifteen minutes later, a mist-shrouded floating peak emerged, crowned by grand halls. The Jin cultivator announced their arrival. Dozens greeted them outside the main hall, bowing in unison.
“Hello!” You You replied.
The green-robed priest Ling Qi stepped forward. “Welcome, celestial maiden. I’ll escort you to the Blessing Pavilion while your quarters are prepared.”
His spiritual energy felt dense yet oddly detached. Inside the hall, white-robed figures gave perfunctory bows. Some stared at her with thinly veiled impatience.
You You couldn’t shake the feeling she wasn’t wanted here.
