A cloud of mist gathered beneath their feet as Chen He, with his sister Chen Miao in his arms, finally stood firm.

Master Qi Mingxin stood beside him, and in the distance was a light curtain connecting heaven and earth.

"The Lingxiao Immortal Sect occupies the entire Hundred Thousand Mountains," Master Qi said. "The Miscellaneous Peak and the Outer Sect Peak are on the outermost edge. Passing through this light barrier leads to the Inner Sect area."

"What is this light screen?" Chen He asked.

"The Lingxiao Immortal Sect's protective formation is the Nine Heavens Soaring Cloud Formation, which uses the major peaks of the inner sect as its true eyes."

Master Qi spoke calmly, "What you see is only the tip of the iceberg. This array barrier not only isolates those who spy on you, but also the difference in spiritual energy, and the difference between the inside and outside."

After saying that, without waiting for Chen He to speak, he suddenly accelerated, a layer of spiritual light covering Chen He and Chen Miao, and they passed directly through it.

The two people standing on the clouds instinctively closed their eyes the moment they entered the light curtain, and opened them at the same time the next breath.

The rich spiritual energy entered my lungs with each breath, and my body was the first to react, feeling a sense of complete comfort, followed by an acceleration of my magical energy circulation.

Before us lay massive mountain peaks shrouded in mist, each one larger, higher, and more precipitous than the outer mountain.

Every now and then, sword light flashes, or spirit beasts pull chariots through the air, or spirit weapons or magical treasures flash by.

Chen He noticed that the cultivators who controlled spiritual artifacts flew at lower levels, while those who controlled magical treasures flew higher and faster.

Compared to the tranquil outer gate, the inner gate is more vibrant, lively, and dynamic.

Although the mountains here are protected by formations, any inner sect cultivator can come and go freely, as long as they don't go to the sect's mountain peaks, so exchanges are very frequent.

Qi Mingxin deliberately slowed down the cloud speed to allow the two to adapt to the concentration of spiritual energy in the inner sect, and then accelerated towards the Five Elders Peak.

If the Five Elements Mountain is a giant, upright hand, then the five peaks are like human fingers.

Then the Five Old Peaks are like a hand reaching towards the sky, with the main peak being the elbow.

When you reach the clouds, spread your palms out and point your fingers to the sky.

The palm is the core of the Five Elders Peak.

There is a plaza here, and the core buildings of the Five Old Peaks, where many cultivators rise and fall.

Behind them are mountains representing the five elements of the Dharma lineage, with each mountain representing a lineage of Dharma transmission.

Qi Mingxin didn't say much. After descending from the clouds, he took Chen He and Chen Miao to the largest palace.

The architecture here is very elaborate, resembling a blooming lotus flower, with the buildings situated on the petals and the plaza as the stamen.

The architectural style is also very distinctive, with different buildings having different colors and functions, giving cultivators different choices when they come and go, making it look diverse but not chaotic.

Master Qi personally led Chen He to receive the resources and benefits for the inner disciples of the Five Elders Peak.

This includes a merit point, the robe representing an inner disciple, pills and magical artifacts for the Qi Refining Realm, and most importantly, identity verification—these are the crucial elements that cannot be forgotten.

Chen Miao successfully obtained the jade tablet, but it was not numbered. It was marked with the Five Old Peaks and the Fire Vein, and belonged to Chen He.

She received the outer disciple's robe, but she received no merit points or cultivation resources, all of which needed to be distributed by Chen He.

Neither Chen He nor Chen Miao were unhappy about this.

Chen He doesn't lack resources; at least he has enough resources for the Qi Refining Realm. What he lacks is a jade tablet that belongs exclusively to Chen Miao.

With the jade tablet, Chen Miao became an outer disciple of the Lingxiao Immortal Sect, belonging to the courtyard of Chen He of the Five Elders Peak Fire Vein.

It's equivalent to receiving Elder Qi's protection.

This is something many cultivators envy. Those cultivators at the sixth level of Qi Refining are still trapped in the outer sect and cannot enter the inner sect at all.

Now, Chen Miao, a mortal without spiritual roots, has gained magical power with the help of a spirit beast and has actually become a cultivator, following his brother into the inner sect.

Such good fortune is truly enviable.

The other monks in the palace were unaware of the inside story; they simply bowed respectfully to Qi Mingxin without making any other moves.

Chen He noticed that no one was approaching, a sense of propriety that was rare among the outer sect members.

Next, Elder Qi personally used a jade tablet to consecrate and empower Chen Miao.

Just like when Chen He was given the empowerment by Deacon Zhu Huang, a large amount of knowledge appeared in Chen Miao's mind and was quickly digested and absorbed.

Moreover, a gentle stream of magical power flowed directly through Chen Miao's body, quickly opening up one main meridian and three secondary meridians.

She immediately achieved the Qi Refining and Meridian Opening stage.

Then, under the respectful bows and watchful eyes of the other cultivators, Qi Mingxin led Chen He and Chen Miao and flew towards the Fire Vein.

Unlike the Five Elements Mountain, the central peak of the Five Old Peaks is an earth element, with water and wood on the right and metal and fire on the left. Disciples who are not disciples of the Five Elements lineage cannot approach these five mountains.

Disciples from other peaks can stay in the square of the Five Elders Peak and walk around the buildings, but they cannot approach the peaks of the Dharma lineage.

Not to mention that the mountain peaks of the sect are protected by array formations, the entrance alone is very difficult to find. Even if you do find it, you will be warned if you get close enough, and if you don't listen, you will be attacked directly.

The rules are quite strict and rigorous, but this also creates a well-ordered atmosphere at Five Old Peaks, which is quite lively.

Qi Mingxin flew very slowly, and in fact, he was the only one who could fly without restraint, carrying Chen He and Chen Miao with him.

Everyone else flew close to the ground, not daring to accelerate at all.

Looking at the crowd below and the cluster of buildings, Chen He couldn't believe that this was Wulao Peak; it was more like a city.

When he came to his senses, he saw the clouds climbing higher and ascending along the cliffs of the Fire Vein Mountain.

Qi Mingxin led the brother and sister through the array of light on the mountain peak and immediately saw the cloud waterfall cascading down from the clouds.

"So beautiful!" Chen Miao whispered.

"This is just a corner of the Fire Vein Mountain," Qi Mingxin said calmly. "From sunrise to sunset, there are different views from different locations, and you'll never get tired of looking at it."

Qi Mingxin didn't seem to be in a hurry, and even introduced the scenic spots on the mountain to the two of them along the way.

They even went so far as to start their spiral flight from the foot of the mountain, trying to see every corner of the Fire Vein mountain, which was quite thoughtful.

Just as Chen Miao was beginning to feel a sense of goodwill towards Master Qi and thought that her brother had chosen the right master, the cloud suddenly stopped at the mountaintop.

Then, Chen He and Chen Miao, brother and sister, stared wide-eyed at their master in front of them, and then turned to look at Qi Mingxin on the cloud.

"What are you standing here for? Go and kowtow to your master!" Qi Mingxin said, pressing down from the clouds and then turning into flames, disappearing right in front of the two.

"Disciple Chen He and his sister Chen Miao pay their respects to Master, wishing Master eternal happiness and longevity!" Chen He reacted incredibly quickly, even before he could think, and immediately kowtowed.

Chen Miao also knelt down, but remained silent, her mind racing.

"Get up!" Master Qi said.

"Thank you, Master." Chen He helped Chen Miao to her feet, then cautiously asked, "Master, who was this just now?"

"A clone," Qi Mingxin said calmly, his gaze indifferent. "It's just a magical clone. It's been a magical clone ever since we first met."

"Master's power is boundless and his supernatural abilities are vast!" Chen He immediately praised, "It is because this disciple's cultivation is shallow that I cannot discern it with the naked eye."

He secretly breathed a sigh of relief. How could a Dharma lineage elder, a legendary being in the divine realm, be so approachable?

It turns out that the one in question was just a magical clone!

Chen He was quite glad that he had knelt down decisively. It was only because he encountered a magical clone that he had encountered it. If it had been his master's original body, it was still unknown whether he could still cling to this powerful figure.

I suddenly realized why he had been so slow earlier; he must have been deliberately stalling for time because he didn't want to disappear so quickly.
