My little sect, which disappeared a thousand years ago, has become a sacred site!

Upon seeing Gu Changyuan, Su Wanqing quickly stepped forward and introduced him to Su Tianhui beside her:

"Second brother, this is the senior I told you about."

Su Tianhui followed his sister's gaze and saw that the man in front of him was dressed in a simple black robe, with a calm and otherworldly temperament, and no spiritual energy fluctuations around him.

Su Tianhui's lips twitched uncontrollably.

The image of a reclusive, dignified, and awe-inspiring master that he had imagined...

The difference is really quite significant! Especially that barefoot little girl; she just doesn't seem to fit the style of a "senior expert" at all...

Despite thinking this way, Su Tianhui still bowed respectfully:

"Junior Su Tianhui greets Senior!"

Gu Changyuan naturally caught the fleeting look of surprise on Su Tianhui's face.

He was also helpless, but he remained calm and composed, nodding slightly to Su Tianhui.

He had made shoes for Gu Xing'er before, all kinds of shoes, from brocade to leather.

But that little girl just wouldn't like wearing it. She'd put it on and then take it off, and throw it away as soon as she took it off. No amount of persuasion could change her mind.

To prevent her from getting her bare feet dirty, Gu Changyuan simply made her a pair of anklet artifacts.

Not only can it clean itself automatically, but it can also isolate dust and dirt, and even has a very thin spiritual energy protective film, so you don't have to worry about getting hurt.

As for what outsiders think... well, we probably won't be spending much time together afterward, so there's no need to worry about these details.

The Su family's team quickly assembled, and Gu Changyuan said no more, casually waving his right hand.

The celestial ship reappeared out of thin air, hovering above the Su Family Square, casting a huge shadow.

"hiss......"

Su Tianhui looked up at the enormous object, gasped, and his eyes widened in shock.

Such a massive, magnificent, and terrifyingly powerful immortal ship...

He had never seen it before in all the years he had been in the Celestial Holy Land!

Before he could recover from the shock, Gu Changyuan waved his hand again.

A gentle force field enveloped everyone in the square.

The next moment, everyone found themselves on the spacious and flat deck of the fairy ship.

"Inject the coordinates," Gu Changyuan said to Su Tianhui.

Su Tianhui snapped out of his daze and quickly took out a jade slip engraved with the specific coordinates of the outer perimeter of the holy land, and respectfully handed it to Gu Changyuan.

Gu Changyuan took it, scanned it with his divine sense, and then assigned the coordinate information to the core of the immortal ship.

The celestial vessel trembled slightly, and the runes on its surface accelerated, silently activating and transforming into a streak of light, speeding towards the northern horizon.

The distance between the Eastern Region of the Southern Continent and the Western Region of the Eastern Continent is extremely far. If we consider the speed of the standard flying boat that Su Tianhui borrowed from the Holy Land...

We won't arrive at the outskirts of the holy site until sunset tomorrow, just in time to participate in the last round of selections that day.

However, Gu Changyuan's immortal boat has performance far exceeding that of ordinary flying magical artifacts in this world.

Based on the current speed, we should arrive at our destination no later than noon tomorrow.

However, Gu Changyuan also learned of a limitation from the system:

The various realms of the entire Great World not only have upper limits on the cultivation levels of cultivators, but also suppress and reject excessively powerful magical artifacts and even certain forces that transcend the norms of this realm.

If the immortal ship were to unleash its full power, it could arrive faster, but it might also trigger the laws of the world, causing unnecessary trouble, or even being "expelled" or "marked" by the world's will.

Having just returned from that awful place, the "Ruins of Chaos," Gu Changyuan had no desire to experience the feeling of being inexplicably banished again.

Therefore, he deliberately controlled the speed of the fairy ship, maintaining it at a level that was faster than usual but did not cross the world's warning line.

As the journey continued, Gu Changyuan inquired with Su Tianhui about the specific situation of the Heavenly Sacred Land.

Today, the main structure of this sacred land can be summarized as "one mountain and ten peaks".

One mountain is Tianyuan Mountain, the core of the sacred land.

The mountain is divided into two parts, the lower part being the area where the sacred site recruits disciples and holds external activities such as the "Heavenly Fate Ceremony".

The upper part is the heavily guarded core forbidden area of ​​the holy land, where ordinary disciples are not allowed to enter without permission. The council hall, "Tian Shu Hall", is located here.

As for the Ten Peaks, they correspond to the ten ancestors of the Holy Land. From the first ancestor to the tenth ancestor, they are all powerful beings at the Tribulation Transcending Realm who are renowned in their respective regions.

The job assignments in the Holy Land are also very clear: below the Ancestor is the Taiyin Elder, below the Taiyin Elder is the Supreme Elder, and below that are the Elders.

Below the elders are the stewards, managers, and other staff who handle specific tasks, as well as the vast number of inner and outer disciples.

The Heavenly Abyss Sacred Ceremony is usually presided over by one elder from each of the ten peaks, with a Supreme Elder overseeing the proceedings.

Although the Celestial Sacred Land has ten peaks, there is no competition between them.

Although there are ten peaks within the Holy Land, they are not in a competitive or hostile relationship, but rather a division of labor and inheritance.

After a new disciple passes the assessment and enters the sect, the elders of each peak will introduce the unique characteristics of each peak's traditions to the disciple based on their talents, traits, and inclinations. Ultimately, the disciple can choose which peak to join.

There are two methods for the Holy Land to recruit disciples.

As for the assessment, the Celestial Sacred Land has two assessment methods. One is the Celestial Three Trials with the most options: "Testing the Spirit," "Asking the Way," and "Asking the Heart."

The other is the Ascension Platform, where one ascends under pressure. The higher the level one climbs, the more attention one receives.

The Ascension Platform has a hundred steps, which are said to be the supreme test left by the founding ancestor.

Its test content is similar to the "Three Trials of Heaven and Man", but it is more difficult, more comprehensive, and places more emphasis on willpower, potential and the ability to withstand extreme environments.

Moreover, the Ascension Platform has special restrictions that disregard cultivation level. Any external magical artifacts, talismans, or even the assistance of others will be ineffective on it, and one can only rely on oneself.

If you climb to the fiftieth step, you can directly enter the outer gate.

If you can climb sixty steps, you can directly enter the inner gate.

The difficulty increases significantly after level 60.

Upon reaching the sixty-fifth step, one can directly become a personal disciple of an elder; upon reaching the seventieth step, one is qualified to become a disciple of the Supreme Elder; upon reaching the eightieth step, one has the opportunity to become a disciple of the Taiyin Elder.

If one can climb to the 90th step or higher, there is a very high chance that one will be accepted as a personal disciple by one of the ten patriarchs.

If someone can reach the top 100 steps, they will directly obtain the same power as the ten ancestors and receive the full support of the Holy Land.

However, so far, no one has been able to reach level 100, and there are very few who have even reached level 90 or above.

Each cultivator who wants to participate in the assessment can only choose one of these two methods. If they fail, they will have to wait another twenty years before they can participate again.

Therefore, many cultivators choose the relatively simpler Three Trials of Heaven and Man. After all, if they fail the Ascension Platform challenge, they will have to spend another twenty years, which no one can afford.

As Gu Changyuan listened to Su Tianhui's story, his gaze gradually drifted into the distance.

The system must have given the Celestial Human Sect eleven growth-type spiritual veins back then. Now that I think about it, these spiritual veins must have been placed in this mountain and ten peaks, and have already grown into mature spiritual veins.

Otherwise, given the current scale of the Celestial Holy Land, small spiritual veins simply wouldn't be able to absorb and supply enough spiritual energy, let alone become the number one sect in the human realm as described by cultivators today.
