Chapter 13: Sixth Peak

The Young man's voice wasn't quiet, naturally attracting everyone's attention, and Jiang Yun stopped again, turning to ask, "Is there anything else?"

Although Jiang Yun still didn't know the other party's background, the other party was quite friendly to him, so he couldn't ignore him.

However, Jiang Yun didn't notice that as this person spoke, most of the Wen Dao Sect Disciples, including Xiao Yishu and others, showed strange expressions on their faces.

The Young man smiled slightly, then turned to look at Xiao Yishu, cupping his fists and bowing, "Senior Brother Xiao, we just happen to be short of a Utility Disciple there. Why don't you let this boy come to us?"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone was stunned. Although they didn't know who the Young man was, he was definitely a Wen Dao Sect member, and now he was offering to take Jiang Yun as a Utility Disciple. This was giving Jiang Yun a great opportunity to join the Wen Dao Sect!

Xiao Yishu was also startled, then frowned and said, "Senior Brother Dongfang, this... this isn't appropriate!"

"It is a bit inappropriate!" The Young man smiled and said, "However, Senior Brother Xiao also knows that our place is understaffed and severely lacking in manpower. An extra Utility Disciple would make things a bit easier for me, so I hope Senior Brother Xiao can be accommodating."

"This..."

Xiao Yishu still wanted to refuse, but a voice suddenly sounded in his ear: "Agree to him!"

Hearing this voice, Xiao Yishu quietly breathed a sigh of relief, his expression straightening as he said, "Since Senior Brother Dongfang has said so, then this boy will be handed over to you. However, let me be clear, since he is joining my Wen Dao Sect, he must abide by our Sect's rules, especially the re-evaluation after half a year. If he cannot pass, he will still be expelled!"

"That's natural! Then I thank Senior Brother Xiao in advance!" After the Young man finished speaking, he beckoned to Jiang Yun, "Little Brother, why don't you thank Senior Brother Xiao!"

Jiang Yun could hardly believe his ears. He had failed three tests, but now he had actually become a Utility Disciple of the Wen Dao Sect. After he came to his senses, he quickly cupped his fists and bowed to Xiao Yishu, then bowed deeply to the Young man, saying, "Thank you!"

"From now on, we're family. No need to be so polite, come with me!"

Looking at Jiang Yun, who was gradually walking away behind the Young man, everyone's face showed different expressions: envy, disdain, dissatisfaction, but no one dared to say more.

Especially Huo Yuan, who was secretly gritting his teeth: "He really got lucky, to be able to join the Wen Dao Sect like this! But it's fine, as long as you're in the Sect, I'll have plenty of opportunities to deal with you!"

Xiao Yishu lightly coughed and said, "Alright, this Sect's mountain opening and Disciple recruitment has ended. Now I will announce the results."

Jiang Yun could no longer hear the results, nor did he care to listen.

At this moment, he was like sleepwalking, following the Young man, turning left and right within the Wen Dao Sect, so much so that he didn't notice that as the Young man's sleeve swayed beside him, strange, invisible Spiritual Runes entered the ground beneath his feet, causing each step he took to span dozens of meters.

After walking for half an hour like this, the Young man finally stopped, looking at a small mountain peak, no more than a hundred zhang high, that appeared in front of them, and said with a smile, "Little Brother, this mountain is the sixth peak within the Wen Dao Sect, which is our mountain!"

Asking Dao Sixth Peak!

Hearing these words, Jiang Yun's body suddenly trembled, and he came back to his senses. Looking back, there were five majestic peaks towering behind him. Unknowingly, under the Young man's guidance, he had already Bypassed the five main peaks.

However, he also didn't expect that within the Wen Dao Sect, besides the Five Peaks, there was such a small peak. He couldn't help but murmur, "So, the Wen Dao Sect also has a sixth peak, and this sixth peak is actually hidden behind the Five Peaks!"

This sixth peak was truly too inconspicuous; it was more accurate to call it a small hill rather than a peak. Therefore, it was obscured by the Five Peaks, and if one didn't get close, it couldn't be seen from the outside at all.

"Little Brother is amazing!" The Young man's eyes lit up and he said, "This mountain is indeed called Hidden Peak. I didn't expect Little Brother to be able to name it in one go! It seems you truly have a connection with this peak! Oh, I haven't asked yet, Little Brother, what is your name?"

Jiang Yun was stunned by the compliment before answering, "My name is Jiang Yun!"

The Young man nodded and said, "My name is Dongfang Bo. I am the Eldest Disciple of Hidden Peak's Master. Although you haven't been accepted as a Disciple by Master yet, you can call me Senior Brother, and I'll call you Jiang Laodi. Let's go, we'll go up the mountain first, and we can talk about anything else once we're up there!"

Just like that, Jiang Yun followed behind Dongfang Bo and ascended this Hidden Peak, which was known as the Asking Dao Sixth Peak!

Although compared to the other Five Peaks, Hidden Peak's height and area were almost negligible, its scenery was quite beautiful.

The entire mountain was surrounded by lush greenery, and hidden among the vegetation, independent small wooden houses could be seen everywhere. A small stream wound its way up, and a waterfall cascaded down from the peak, gathering into a clear spring at the foot of the mountain.

Dongfang Bo was clearly very talkative. As he walked towards the summit, he continuously introduced Jiang Yun to the general situation within the Wen Dao Sect.

"Although it's rumored outside that each of the Asking Dao Five Peaks represents a kind of Dao and a method of Cultivation, that's not actually the case!"

"There are myriad Daos. While many Sects specialize in only one Dao, the Wen Dao Sect doesn't just have five kinds of Dao. It can only be said that, apart from our Hidden Peak, the other Five Peaks each have their own specialized Dao."

"Among the Five Peaks, the shortest one, like a thumb, is called Hundred Beast Peak, specializing in the Dao of beast taming; the one shaped like an index finger is called Tianfu Peak, mainly focusing on the Dao of Talisman Cultivation; the central peak is our Sect's main peak, Sword Dao Peak, as the name suggests, it mainly focuses on the Dao of Sword Cultivation; the ring finger peak is Red Dust Peak, which is basically full of female Cultivators, focusing on the Dao of music; and the last peak is called Five Elements Peak, focusing on the Dao of magical techniques!"

Everything Dongfang Bo said was extremely new and unfamiliar to Jiang Yun, and he diligently kept it in mind. After hearing the introduction of the Five Peaks, he couldn't help but ask, "Then what Dao does Hidden Peak specialize in?"

Unexpectedly, Dongfang Bo played coy, smiling mysteriously and saying, "The Dao that Hidden Peak specializes in, you'll need to slowly discover it yourself!"

Such profound words left Jiang Yun with no choice but to nod in agreement, not daring to ask further.

Dongfang Bo continued, "Although the Wen Dao Sect contains Spiritual Veins, making the Spiritual Qi here abundant, the concentration of Spiritual Qi varies with the terrain. In short, the higher the terrain, the denser the Spiritual Qi."

"According to the Sect's rules, Utility Disciples can only live at the foot of the mountain where the Spiritual Qi is thinnest, Outer Sect Disciples can live below the mountainside, and only Inner Sect Disciples are qualified to live above the mountainside!"

"It's extremely difficult to become an Inner Sect Disciple. The most basic requirement is to reach the Blessed Land Realm; of course, if you have outstanding talent, like the woman with the dual Tongmai Dao Body earlier, you would likely be directly accepted as an Inner Sect Disciple; there's also another way, which is to challenge the Five Peaks!"

Jiang Yun asked, puzzled, "Challenge the Five Peaks?"

The latest chapter is on \

"Yes, challenge the Five Peaks!" Dongfang Bo nodded, but didn't explain in detail: "Of course, the difficulty of challenging the Five Peaks is extremely high, and there's even a risk of death. But after all, it's a shortcut, so many Disciples attempt it every year, but ultimately, only one in a thousand succeeds!"

"In short, although our Wen Dao Sect has over ten thousand Disciples, there are a thousand Outer Sect Disciples, but only a few dozen Inner Sect Disciples."

Jiang Yun couldn't help but secretly click his tongue. He didn't expect the Wen Dao Sect to have so many people, and the conditions for becoming an Inner Sect Disciple were so strict. However, this also reminded him of Feng Wuji. The other party was only at the Tongmai Fifth Realm, yet he could be accepted as an Inner Sect Disciple by the Reincarnation Sect, which probably meant he had outstanding talent!

"But Jiang Laodi, you can rest assured, our Hidden Peak doesn't have these rules. You can choose any place on the entire Hidden Peak as your residence."

"Thank you, Senior Brother!" Jiang Yun casually asked, "Senior Brother, how many people are there on Hidden Peak?"

"Uh, if you count yourself, there are five people!" Dongfang Bo suddenly slapped his forehead forcefully and said, "I almost forgot! Since you've joined the Sect, there are some rewards. How about this, I'll go get them for you. You can wander around here freely. There's a small courtyard near the top of the mountain. If Brother Jiang doesn't mind, you can stay there!"
