(On the first day of the new month, Liudao opened his cute eyes and begged for monthly votes)
Taiyuanzhou is known as "Ten Miles and One Mountain".
Although it is not an exaggeration to the astonishing fact that there is really a mountain ten miles apart, it also highlights the scene of many mountains in Taiyuan Continent.
According to statistics, the ratio of mountains to other terrain in Taiyuan Continent is an astonishing five to five.
After getting off the Gale intercontinental airship, Chen Zong didn't stop at all and immediately looked for a way to get to Taiyuan Tianzong.
All walks of life on Canglan Continent are very developed. There are not only service industries such as intercontinental airships that specialize in traveling between continents, but also service industries that travel to various places within a continent. Of course, all are paid services.
After paying twenty defective spiritual sources and spending half a month, Chen Zong crossed Taiyuan City and finally arrived at the foot of Taiyuan Mountain.
Taiyuan Mountain is the first mountain in Taiyuan Continent. It not only has the highest and most peaks, but its terrain stretches for hundreds of thousands of miles.
Standing at the foot of Taiyuan Mountain, Chen Zong could feel that the spiritual energy of heaven and earth here was beginning to be a little richer and purer than in other places.
Looking up, there are two peaks with a height of more than 200 meters but an area of only a few hundred meters, standing side by side like a portal at the forefront of Taiyuan Mountain. And this is indeed the Taiyuan Tianzong.
's portal.
Chen Zong has seen the mountain gates of some sects, which are generally carved from various precious materials, but this is the first time he has seen a mountain gate like Taiyuan Tianzong. It uses two peaks side by side as the portal of the sect. It is indeed unique.
And it also reflects a kind of momentum.
If these two peaks are born like this, it can only be said to be good luck, but if it is man-made, it means that the powerful people of Taiyuan Tianzong have extraordinary means.
Located between two portal-like peaks, there is a ten-meter-wide road that goes straight up with no end in sight.
Taking a deep breath, the cool breath poured into his body, making Chen Zong's mind clearer.
Taking firm steps, Chen Zong walked along the winding road step by step, getting faster and faster, and finally, it was like a gust of wind.
The deeper he walked along the road, the more Chen Zong felt the changes in the aura of heaven and earth, a feeling of being nourished, which made him feel refreshed and as if he was not tired.
This is Taiyuan Mountain, which completely belongs to the territory of Taiyuan Tianzong. Chen Zong did not dare to use all his speed. With some reservations, he spent an hour to reach a huge heptagonal platform.
This heptagonal platform has a radius of tens of thousands of meters, and there is a peak about a hundred meters high on each side. The peaks grow like canine teeth and are sunken inward, as if they want to cover the platform.
Looking into the distance, there are countless overlapping shadows of mountain peaks, endless, and there are thousands of clouds and mist, like a fairyland in the depths of the clouds.
Withdrawing his gaze, Chen Zong scanned the seven peaks that looked like canine teeth.
There are ancient characters on each mountain peak, which look like carvings and seem to have grown from the trees on the mountain peaks. They look very natural and harmonious.
Starting from the left, they are Luohong Mountain, Yaoying Mountain, Cangyu Mountain, Zhenyuan Mountain, Riji Mountain, Mingguang Mountain, and Yinyue Mountain.
Taiyuan Tianzong is divided into seven mountains. Zhenyuan Mountain is the mountain of the sect leader, and the other six mountains are controlled by the six powerful elders in Taiyuan Tianzong.
For such a big power as Taiyuan Tianzong, there are quite a few strong men who hold the title of elder, but there are only six people who can control a mountain and become the mountain master. Each one of them is a super strong man and will not be inferior to the sect leader.
When Chen Zong passed through the Wanxiang Tower, he wanted to enter Mingguang Mountain. Perhaps it was easier to get through the Mingguang Mountain side of the Wanxiang Tower, but no matter which mountain it was, as long as he could enter it.
Set off again and head towards Mingguang Mountain.
Mingguang Mountain is a mountain with a height of more than 8,000 meters and covers an area of hundreds of miles. However, preparatory disciples can only stay at the foot of Mingguang Mountain and maintain a certain distance. Only by becoming formal disciples can they truly
Step into Mingguang Mountain and live there.
The higher you go up, the higher the status symbol becomes, until you reach the top of the mountain, which is the cave of Mingguang Mountain Lord, the master of Mingguang Mountain.
About half an hour later, Chen Zong saw a gathering place in the distance, which was like a market. There were many people walking around, and there were also people setting up stalls.
"I want to find the steward who prepares disciples. How should I go?" Chen Zong stopped someone and asked.
"Over there." The man hurriedly pointed in a direction and ignored Chen Zong.
Chen Zong walked along the road and saw rows of wooden houses scattered in an orderly manner. When he reached the end, it was a large wooden house, which was several times larger than the other wooden houses. It seemed to be stronger and more refined.
The door of this big wooden house is open, and symbolically there is a plaque hanging outside: Preparatory Department.
"What are you here for?" There was a middle-aged man sitting inside. He opened his sleepy eyes when he heard Chen Zong's footsteps. After a casual glance, he asked lazily.
Chen Zong took out the jade token given to him by Wanxiang Tower and handed it to the other party.
After the other party took it, he looked at it and seemed to be a little more serious. He sat up straight, opened the register and picked up a pen, but his tone was still lazy: "Name? Age? Cultivation level?"
Then he discovered that he was already twenty-six years old, probably. He didn't pay much attention to the age issue, nor did he particularly care about the passage of time. He should be around twenty-six years old. He was less than twenty-seven years old.
I said it again silently in my heart.
If someone knew what he was thinking in his heart at this time, he would probably find it very funny, and he would not even be sure of his age. This kind of situation often occurs in those strong people who have lived for hundreds or even thousands of years.
.
After all, for those strong people, sometimes a retreat lasts for several years or even longer. No one will be idle and calculate their own age.
The lazy middle-aged man is the deacon of the preparation department, responsible for the registration and arrangement of preparation disciples, etc. When he heard Chen Zong's age and cultivation level, he was suddenly shocked, and all the sleepiness disappeared from his body.
Gotta get serious.
It's like going from sleepy to energetic.
He is twenty-six years old, but has a mid-nine-star cultivation level. He is no ordinary warrior, he is already a genius level one warrior, enough to compare with the core disciples in the mountain.
I think this person entered Mingguang Mountain through other channels and became a preparatory disciple because he missed the mountain gate election.
Otherwise, there is an identity problem.
No matter what, in short, these are not things that I should take care of. If it is the former, it can naturally be considered a good thing for Mingguang Mountain, but if it is the latter, someone will naturally deal with it.
The registration was completed quickly. After all, the preparatory disciples' treatment in the various mountains of Taiyuan Tianzong was very low. As long as there was no trouble, no one would care even if they were spies who sneaked in.
What benefits can a spy get from mixing among the preparatory disciples?
You won't get anything, it's just a waste of time.
After all, those who are not formal disciples cannot step into the mountain, otherwise they will be killed.
"This is your pre-disciple token." The middle-aged deacon took out a token, carved it on it, and handed it to Chen Zong.
Chen Zong took a look and saw his name on it.
"How can I become a formal disciple?" Chen Zong put the token away and asked at the same time.
"Every three months, preparatory disciples will undergo an assessment. After passing the assessment, they can become formal disciples." The middle-aged deacon answered quickly, apparently intending to leave a good impression on Chen Zong. After all, Chen Zong has such a talent.
, if there is no problem with the identity and origin, it is almost certain to become an official disciple, and you can even become a core disciple.
Every core disciple is the mainstay of the younger generation in each mountain, and their status is not comparable to that of a deacon like me who can only manage preparatory disciples.
"There are still two months until the next preliminary disciple assessment. It will be announced three days in advance. If you are interested, you can also sign up to participate in the assessment. I believe that with your talent, you will definitely become an official disciple." The middle-aged deacon smiled.
Said: "Let's go, I will take you to where you live."
"Thank you." After saying this, Chen Zong turned and left.
Generally, the middle-aged deacons don't bother to pay attention to the preparatory disciples, and often give them the keys and let them find a house by themselves.
However, people like Chen Zong should naturally be treated differently. They just lead the way and say a few words, in case they can make some connections.
Along the way, the middle-aged deacon also introduced the situation of some preliminary disciples to Chen Zong in the simplest language. Chen Zong also asked about other situations, such as formal disciples, etc.
There is nothing surprising about a wooden house, it is simply decorated and nothing more.
"The conditions for preparing to be a disciple are relatively ordinary, but it will be different if you become a formal disciple." The middle-aged deacon opened the door and smiled at Chen Zong: "Just be patient for a while."
"It doesn't matter." Chen Zong replied Bu Xu Bu Ji. It would be a good thing to have better conditions, but if not, Chen Zong wouldn't complain about anything.
In the final analysis, it is just a temporary foothold.
"If you have any questions, just come to me. My surname is Wang, and I am responsible for preparing various disciples." The middle-aged deacon said with a smile.
"Thank you, Deacon Wang." Chen Zong responded with a smile.
Of course, Chen Zong is well aware of the other party's behavior, and it is nothing more than friendship. Of course, Chen Zong will not strictly refuse, etc. Everything is up to him. If he has the spare capacity, it is not impossible to help him in the future.
Deacon Wang was very sensible and did not stay, which would only cause resentment.
According to what Deacon Wang said, the number of preparatory disciples is as high as tens of thousands, which is undoubtedly an astonishing number, because this is just Mingguang Mountain. If all seven mountains of Taiyuan Tianzong are counted, the number of preparatory disciples may be as high as 10,000.
Reaching the size of one hundred thousand.
But this is normal. After all, this is Canglan Continent. Whether it is population, cultivation environment, cultivation resources, inheritance, etc., it is many times better than Chaotian Island, such as the comparison between Yinghuo and Haoyue.
As for the number of formal disciples, they are naturally not as large as the preparatory disciples. However, in Mingguang Mountain alone, there are thousands of formal disciples, and there are hundreds of elite disciples above the formal disciples.
