Chapter 368: The Main Gate of Jin Tian Sect

With Senior Sister Chuchu watching, Chen Zhi Cheng and the others dared not disregard their wager.

Nearly a thousand practitioners had pale faces, resenting Chen Zhi Cheng and, at the same time, blaming Li Hui and his group. Even if they split the cost, each one still had to pay five hundred units of high-grade Miao Jade and a treasure, which was painful enough! It was essential to know that high-grade Miao Jade was becoming increasingly valuable; having more in reserve meant they could hold out longer during the dark moon calamity.

Li Hui turned around and connected with Lin Xuan Er, secretly giving her several bags of treasures. Peng Xiaoqing was her cousin, and their group remained in Ruijin City! He told her to come quickly when she had time.

Five hundred thousand units of high-grade Miao Jade was a colossal wealth, even for Chu Chu, but today, the main contributor was not her.

How to allocate it? Li Hui smiled gently, pointing at various treasures and saying, “Each of the three Senior Sisters can select two hundred pieces, while Senior Brother Xu and Guan Xiong can each choose fifty pieces, and the rest will be mine. Also, you may distribute the Miao Jade among yourselves, but I’ll take the Mixed-colored Miao Jade, making off with the larger share.”

“Hehe, I understand that Junior Brother’s cultivation method is special. I won’t be polite!” Lian Luosha and Qian Qiu Yue beamed, inviting Chuchu to choose with them.

“Thank you, Junior Brother!” Xu and Guan were overjoyed to receive treasures without contributing much effort; their spirits were high. While they laughed and selected their treasures, Chen Zhi Cheng’s side was shrouded in gloom! The prestige of the two young sect leaders of the Haotu Sect plummeted, furious enough for Chen Nuo Er to grind her silver teeth.

All these treasures were of low quality; after several rounds of choices, three hundred pieces finally ended up in Li Hui’s hands, which he could destroy without regret. As for the Miao Jade, he took the majority.

Three hundred thousand units of Mixed-colored Miao Jade swiftly transformed in the treasure cabinet space, and by the time it was stored into the Mysterious Pearl, it had become two hundred and eighty thousand units of Miao Jade.

Even with such wealth, Li Hui still felt it was insufficient—far from enough! He had to save a large amount of resources to wage war against the Hongmo Sect to rescue Hongmo Zheng and gather ample fragments of treasures to supply the silver snake bracelet’s consumption. The Hongmo Sect was powerful and dominant in the seas, and even with a strategy of waging war to accumulate resources, this path wouldn’t be easy.

“This path may not be easy, but it must be taken!”

“Since the Jin Tian Sect upholds the mission to eliminate evil and safeguard the righteous path, the Hongmo Sect is my target. Time waits for no one! I must enter the Condense Essence Stage as soon as possible and find a way to elevate my profound qi cultivation.”

“Daxia spans vast regions, with countless high-level demon cultivators leaving their legacies, and countless wondrous secret realms. I want to trigger the Dao Rhythm Residual Talisman once more to view the mountains and rivers…”

The gathering inevitably came to an end; there is no feast that does not disperse. Lian Luosha and Qian Qiu Yue returned to the Heart Refining Branch to continue their training. Chuchu dismissed Xu Houde and Guan Tianyou, letting them find their own fun, and then quickly grabbed Li Hui, vanishing in a flash.

“Senior Sister, Senior Sister Chuchu, slow down. I’m getting dizzy.”

“Hahaha!” Chuchu laughed wildly, “You can find the big fish in the fish schools while we are all blind! You’re the only one who can see; hurry and help me increase my accomplishments by finding those big fish to eliminate.”

“Okay! There’s a one-horned sea beast thirty miles to the north.” Li Hui was eager to seize fortune and instantly matched Chuchu’s excitement.

“Great! Let’s go!”

They only targeted those Bosa stage sea beasts that seemed promising enough to potentially stir up a storm in the future, and they slaughtered their way down the coastline. Ten days later, when they arrived in the city, Chuchu was still immersed in joy.

The harvest from these days was worth a year of her hard work. No wonder the two enchantresses from the Heart Refining Branch looked at Junior Brother with different eyes; such golden nuggets were undoubtedly more valuable than those ordinary outer disciples.

Li Hui was also very happy, gathering the Four Fortune Ascending Talismans daily to accumulate fortune to repair the Dao Rhythm Residual Talisman. After another ten days of hard work, he should be able to summon Bai Ze, and he was eager to see the magnificent landscapes of Daxia.

There was another reason to be thrilled: the inner sect disciples at the Jin Tian Sect wielded much more power than the outer disciples. Using Chuchu’s name, he could fill up quite well in the city, and afterward, the two set off again.

Half a month later, the sky suddenly brightened, and the dark moon vanished from sight, with sunlight bathing the land.

“Ah! The dark moon has retreated, and the sun is shining!” Many people stepped into the streets, bathing in sunlight, never having felt such excitement at seeing the sun shining high in the sky.

At the same time, Chuchu and Li Hui’s disciples had buzzing messages: “All disciples immediately return to the main gate; do not make mistakes!”

Chuchu was alarmed, “Oh no! Something big is definitely happening. Sect records state that the last emergency recall took place over a thousand years ago when the celestial demons descended.”

Without a moment to lose, Chuchu activated the Surveillance Pavilion, and she and Li Hui leaped to aboard.

The Surveillance Pavilion was the transport for inner sect disciples of the Jin Tian Sect; previously, Guan Tianyou had merely been the pilot, but now Chuchu operated it, moving at an incredible speed. The sound roared as they vanished, each teleport moving them a distance of one hundred thousand miles, urgently heading toward the main gate of the Jin Tian Sect.

Before long, with a loud “bang,” the ground shook as another Surveillance Pavilion approached.

A familiar, annoying voice came from the opposite side: “Junior Sister Chuchu, where have you been wandering lately? If you don’t accumulate enough accomplishments, you might be demoted to the Branch or the Outer Court.”

To Li Hui’s surprise, Chuchu rare showed a calm demeanor, slightly bowing as she replied, “Senior Sister Xingxing, I’ve missed you so much!”

“Haha, no matter how crazy a wild girl is, she’s just a cloud in my Ruan Xingxing’s sight. I am the true number one crazy in the Jin Tian Sect,” her laughter echoed with madness.

Chuchu rolled her eyes, and Li Hui facepalmed. This was only the second inner sect female disciple he had encountered, and they both seemed a bit off!

The two Surveillance Pavilions raced side by side, moving as quickly as if they were teleporting. This was the hallmark of the Jin Tian Sect, which had long ago constructed the Phantom Spirit Instrument in the sky of Daxia. Even if the teleportation arrays throughout the continent malfunctioned, these instruments would still operate correctly, allowing the Surveillance Pavilions to move swiftly.

About two incense sticks later, the Surveillance Pavilion stopped, landing in front of a crooked mountain gate.

Big letters reading “Jin Tian Sect” hung above, and Li Hui’s mouth gaped in disbelief, unwilling and unable to believe that this was the main gate of the Jin Tian Sect.

Chuchu changed into a dao robe and tossed a robe to her Junior Brother.

Ruan Xingxing appeared, her hair a bit messy yet looking beautiful. Unfortunately, she seemed too lazy to tidy herself up, simply gathering her hair into a bun with a wooden hairpin while dressed in a dao robe.

“Let’s go to the observatory!” Chuchu and Ruan Xingxing lifted their robes, stepping forward gracefully, each step infused with mystery.

Li Hui took a deep breath, putting on the dao robe and following the pace of the two Senior Sisters, swaying as he used his Ideal Body. Suddenly, he felt an immense pressure closing in on him, making his steps slower yet enriching his experience with an essence that felt profound and mysterious.

The two women did not look back, entering the crooked mountain gate before proceeding up the narrow stone steps. Suddenly, the sound of a resounding bell rang out.

“Dong…”

Just one sound struck his heart, causing a dizzying sensation in his soul.

“Does this bell sound help refine one’s spirit?” Li Hui wondered in shock. “No, it’s more than just refining the spirit; even my profound qi cultivation has increased a bit!”

“Keep up!” Chuchu secretly transmitted the message.

Li Hui quickly focused his thoughts, exerting all his strength to leap upwards.

What astonished him once more was that climbing this mountain road imbued even his Ideal Body with a mysterious essence; it seemed a proper understanding could elevate his foundation by half a level.

Sweating profusely, Li Hui finally caught up to the two figures and arrived in front of an ancient dao observatory. Dozens of disciples had already gathered, all wearing dao robes…
