Please be my partner.

"Look, this is Senior Brother Mu Bian practicing. Although this isn't the first time I've seen him, it still astounds me every time I see him!"

"That's right! Senior Brother Mu Bian truly lives up to his reputation as a peerless genius that's hard to come by in a thousand years. He's broken through the Mirror Stage repeatedly in just one year. For him, cultivation is as easy as eating and drinking water."

"Of course. Have you seen this vast purple aura? A month ago, when Senior Brother Mu Bian first condensed it, it was only three hundred miles long. Even so, it alarmed the Grand Elder who was in seclusion, and he directly accepted Senior Brother Mu Bian as his closed disciple. Now, a month has passed, and this vast purple aura is increasing every day, and it already stretches for three thousand miles. It is said that this is a phenomenon that only immortals can experience!" (The immortals here actually refer to semi-immortals)

"Senior Brother Mubian is so handsome! If I could always be by your side, I would be willing to become an immortal!"

"..."

As the purple energy was completely devoured, Nasus stopped practicing. He opened his eyes, and there was still a faint purple mist flowing in his pupils.

Footsteps were heard behind him, and a slightly respectful voice rang out: "Senior Brother Mubian, the Sect Leader invites you."

Nasus said calmly, "I understand."

It stood up, nodded slightly to the disciple who delivered the message, and then turned into a purple light and flew towards the master's hall.

In the master's hall, in addition to the master of Qianliu Peak, many elders were also present, and they were obviously discussing important matters.

After Nasus arrived, he behaved gently and humbly, and saluted respectfully to the headmaster and the elders. When he came to the elder of external affairs, he even called him "Master". The elder of external affairs' old face was almost smiling like a chrysanthemum.

Qianliu Peak was originally formed by many sects and forces in Qiandao Bay, with the purpose of banding together for warmth. It was only after continuous development that it gradually grew stronger.

Therefore, many of the previous rules are still retained in Qianliu Peak, such as one disciple having multiple teachers.

Mu Bian was brought back by the Foreign Affairs Elder, who naturally accepted him as his disciple as soon as possible.

After Mu Bian showed his talent and was recognized by the Supreme Elder and accepted as his closed disciple, the External Affairs Elder had nothing to say and was even happy for Mu Bian, because he truly felt that he could not teach a genius like Mu Bian. Only by becoming the Supreme Elder's closed disciple and receiving training from the resources of the entire Qianliu Peak could Mu Bian's talent be fully tapped.

The headmaster smiled and asked, "Junior Brother Mubian, have you encountered any problems with your cultivation recently? Do you have any questions about [Purple River Returns to the Sea]?"

[Zichuan Guihai] is the core inheritance of Qianliu Peak. Although it is extremely powerful, it is also notoriously difficult to learn and master. Ordinary disciples cannot even get started. It is a practice method truly prepared for geniuses.

Although the situation was serious, Nasus was already accustomed to it. He said respectfully, "I do have a few questions."

The headmaster stroked his beard and smiled, "Okay, stay for a while and I'll answer all your questions."

Chapter 527: Golden Summit Immortal and the Rules of Time

There are actually many matters to be dealt with in Qianliu Peak, but they are controlled by various peaks and many departments, and only a few can be brought to the master's hall for discussion.

Nasus seemed serious throughout the whole process, but in fact he was daydreaming. Although he was allowed to attend the class, this was only a privilege for the eldest disciple of Qianliu Peak, and he didn't actually need to worry too much.

Of course, if Nasus wants to control a certain amount of power, it will not be difficult with this identity.

After the internal affairs of Qianliu Peak were dealt with, the head of the sect looked around and said solemnly, "I believe you have all received the news. The secret realm of Jinding Mountain will be opening soon. Do you have anything to say?"

Nasus's heart stirred, and he paid a little more attention. He pondered for a moment, and when no one spoke, he asked in confusion, "Master, I wonder what this secret realm of Jinding Mountain is called?"

The reason why Nasus calls the headmaster "senior brother" is because the latter is also a disciple of the Supreme Elder.

Strictly speaking, Nasus is the fourth-generation disciple of Qianliu Peak, several generations younger than the master. However, based on the tradition of one disciple having multiple teachers, it is correct for those outer and inner disciples to call Nasus the eldest brother, and it is also correct for Nasus to call the master the senior brother.

In short, each has his own opinion.

For those sects with strict rules, this is just like child's play, but in Qianliu Peak, everyone has long been accustomed to it.

The headmaster said with a pleasant expression, "This secret realm of Jinding Mountain is a very remarkable place in the Mountain and Sea Realm. It is the legendary place where the Jinding Immortal resides."

"Speaking of the origins of the Golden Peak Immortal, we have to mention the origins of our Mountain and Sea Realm! I'm sure you also know that our Mountain and Sea Realm was created by two great True Immortals."

Nasus nodded slightly. He had heard the demons talk about this when he was with Mellen.

The headmaster continued, "It is said that before the two True Immortals left, they entrusted the management of the Mountain and Sea Realm to their disciples."

"But because the two True Immortals were somewhat... not on good terms in their later years, this also led to hostility among their disciples. After the two True Immortals left the Mountain and Sea Realm, after only a brief period of peace, the Mountain and Sea Realm was plunged into war led by the True Immortal disciples."

"The turbulent years lasted for a very long time. Even if you were a True Immortal disciple, you couldn't enjoy eternal freedom and ease unless you became a True Immortal. Now, only a few True Immortal sects still exist."

"Of course, not all True Immortal disciples are promoting war. There are also many True Immortal disciples who are indifferent to worldly affairs, and some have even left the Mountain and Sea Realm like the two True Immortals."

"The Immortal of the Golden Summit is the last recorded True Immortal disciple active in the Mountain and Sea Realm. He did not pass down a lineage, but he would give lectures based on his mood, benefiting all living beings."

"About 360,000 years ago, the Golden Summit Immortal also left the Mountain and Sea Realm. However, before he left, he issued a decree stating that since his departure, the Golden Summit Mountain Daoist Temple has been open every 3,000 years. Anyone with a predestined relationship can enter. Those with a strong predestined relationship can obtain immortal techniques and enter the lineage of true immortals."

After explaining this, the Sect Master looked at the elders and said with a smile, "Now that the Jinding Mountain Secret Realm is about to open again, you can all recommend some outstanding younger disciples to go there and try your luck."

Although the Golden Summit Immortal claims to teach everyone, it is, after all, a true immortal inheritance, and the most basic threshold is beyond the reach of ordinary people. Even if you know where the secret realm is, you cannot enter without the so-called "fate".

Furthermore, the Jinding Mountain Secret Realm has two restrictions...

One is the number of three thousand. When three thousand people have entered the secret realm, the people behind them, no matter how talented they are, will not be able to enter.

Therefore, every time the secret realm of Jinding Mountain is opened, various forces will block it in advance to prevent those unconventional cultivators from entering as much as possible.

Of course, the blockade is only a temporary measure and can only be said to be slightly effective, because the secret realm of Jinding Mountain appears randomly in the mountain and sea world, and each time it appears, it will cover an area of ​​a continent. As long as the living creatures enter the scope of this continent, they will have a chance.

Secondly, the cultivation level of those entering will only be below the semi-immortal level. If their strength exceeds that of a semi-immortal, their future is basically determined, and there is no need for them to accept the inheritance. The Jinding Mountain Secret Realm will not guide such strong people.

After discussing the relevant matters, Nasus stayed alone to receive the guidance of the master.

Nasus asked many questions about cultivation, and the master patiently answered them one by one.

After the Q&A session ended, Nasus was about to leave when the sect leader suddenly asked, "Junior Brother Mubian, are you interested in the secret realm of Jinding Mountain?"

“Some,” Nasus said.

The Sect Master nodded slightly, cast a barrier to seal off the Sect Master's Hall, and then said, "Since Junior Brother Mu Bian is interested, then this time, you will lead our Qianliu Peak secret realm team. What do you think?"

Nasus didn't refuse and nodded, saying, "Yes!"

The headmaster stroked his beard and smiled, saying, "In that case, I will tell you the secret information of the secret realm of Jinding Mountain..."

Nasus was surprised at first, but then he was relieved. After all, this world is divided by relatives and strangers. This so-called "secret information" must be in the hands of only a very small number of people. Only in this way can his relatives still maintain a big enough advantage after entering the secret realm and obtain more benefits than others.

After giving these instructions, the headmaster pondered for a moment and said, "There's a saying circulating in the secret realm of Jinding Mountain that if one can reach the summit of Jinding Mountain and obtain the true teachings of the Jinding Immortal, one will be able to obtain the true legacy of a True Immortal."

"But unfortunately, hundreds of thousands of years have passed, and no one has been able to do this. No one can confirm the truth of this statement. If you have some energy left after entering the secret realm, you might as well explore it a little more. Perhaps you can make some different discoveries."

Nasus nodded in understanding.

…………

Spirit world.

Melen looked at the Fighting Soul Saints in front of him. Except for Dark Blade who was a dog, the other Fighting Soul Saints were all equipped with various weapons. At this time, in order to facilitate communication, these Fighting Soul Saints all transformed into illusory human appearances.

The current patriarch of the Fighting Spirit Clan, his original form is a giant black sickle with gorgeous and exaggerated shape, burning with blazing flames, and his transformed image is a handsome young man in a black robe.

It first saluted respectfully to Melen, then directly stated: "Scythe Blade greets Master Melen. Dark Blade has already told us everything about Master. Thank you for saving our Fighting Spirit Clan. We are willing to abide by the agreement and forge the Ruyi Magical Weapon for Master."

The other members of the Fighting Soul Clan also had solemn expressions. Although creating the Ruyi Divine Weapon would cost the Fighting Soul Clan a heavy price, it seemed insignificant compared to Mellen's grace in saving the clan.

Melen waved his hand and said, "There's no rush. I know how you created the Ruyi Magical Weapon, but the cost is too high. I'm going to form a team to research and see if there are other ways to reduce the cost. This would be a good thing for you."

Scythe Blade showed gratitude and said, "Thank you, Lord Mellen. We are willing to help you with all our strength."

Mellen nodded slightly and said, "Let's talk about the other things. The Fighting Spirit Clan will be under my command from now on. What are your plans next?"

The sickle blade understood and immediately said, "It's all up to you, sir."

Melen was speechless, but he didn't refuse. He said, "Well, I'll give you two choices..."

"First, I have a territory in the spirit world. You can choose a piece of land there and live in peace. However, although this will give you more freedom, I cannot guarantee your safety. The Moon Hermit and I do have some cooperation and have reached some tacit understanding. But if he launches a surprise attack and kidnaps you again, I am afraid it will be too late to rescue you."

Melen's sudden action this time was to take advantage of a loophole. The Moon Hermit was not in the Moon Shadow. By the time the latter received the news and rushed back, Melen had already patted his butt and left.

Otherwise, if a battle really takes place in the shadow of the moon, even if Melen is prepared, he may not be able to get away with it. In the end, he may even need to use the power of Little Red Lotus, which would be a loss.

"Secondly, you will stay in my fairytale kingdom. Although it's not as vast as the outside world, it's much safer. You don't have to worry about the Moon Hermit or other beings causing trouble for you."

Since integrating into the inheritance of the [Dream Master], the Fairy Tale Kingdom has undergone a long period of growth and evolution. Now its internal rules are quite complete, not inferior to the average medium-sized world. Moreover, the space is stacked layer by layer, and the overall area is far larger.

Scythe Blade turned around and looked at the other Fighting Soul Saints. They seemed to be communicating with each other in a unique way, and then said to Melen, "Master Melen, the Fighting Soul Clan is willing to live in the Fairy Tale Kingdom."

Mellen nodded slightly, not caring too much, and said, "Okay, that's it."

As Scythe Blade prepared to leave, he respectfully handed over a memory crystal and said, "Sir, this memory crystal contains some of the secrets of our Douhun Clan, as well as our abilities and characteristics. We are willing to obey your orders and fight for you!"

Melen took it with a smile and casually probed his spirit into it.

The so-called secrets are mostly related to the mythical powerful man who created the Fighting Soul Clan, but the records are quite vague and incomplete. There is not much useful information for Melen. Instead, the abilities and characteristics of these Fighting Soul Clan saints make Melen's eyes light up.

He suddenly turned his gaze towards one of the Fighting Spirit Saints and said, "Wait a minute, your ability is related to time?"

The body of the Fighting Soul Clan Saint who was stopped by Mellen was an absolutely perfect silver ring. The silver ring seemed to be constantly rotating, but this rotation was completely unobservable at the material level. Only by shifting the perspective to the rule level could some clues be seen.

The silver ring transformed into a girl draped in silver sand. Its voice was clear and ethereal, "Yes, Lord Meren, my name is Time Blade. My abilities are indeed related to time, but my strength is limited. I can only use three fixed time abilities... Time Acceleration, Time Slowdown, and Time Confinement."

Mellen nodded slightly, understanding what Time Blade meant. Its ability came from innate talent, but "time" was also notoriously elusive among all the rules. Even with the relevant talent, Time Blade had only comprehended three inherent abilities and could not play with the rules it mastered like other saints.

Melen didn't forget that he had always wanted a dog with the ability to control time, because the rules of time were too buggy.

Of course, Mellen would not kill the Time Blade directly and strip it of its time talent. Don't forget that there are special time creatures such as the Time Worm in the higher-dimensional world.

Mellen has been looking for a way to kill them completely, but after so much time, he did find some abilities related to time, but they were basically like the Void Dog, which relied on external forces to forcibly influence time, rather than the rules of time itself.

Such ability cannot completely kill the time worm, at least not before the strength reaches a certain level.

But the appearance of Time Blade gave Melen a glimmer of hope. He asked directly: "Can your ability kill the life of time?"

"Time life?!" Shi Ren was a little stunned. After coming to his senses, he asked, "Sir, what are the specific characteristics of the time life you are talking about?"

Melen described the Time Worms in detail. Shi Ren hesitated and said, "Sir, the Time Worms you're talking about are undoubtedly real life forms living in the Time Dimension. If I'm not mistaken, what you saw were merely projections of them in the higher-dimensional world. Even if you cause more damage to these projections, it won't affect them."

"unless……"

Seeing Mellen's raised brow, Shi Ren hurriedly said, "Unless we can drag them out of the time dimension, or we can travel to the time dimension, we can't really kill them."

Mellen asked: "Which of these two methods can you do?"

Shi Ren shook his head honestly and said, "Neither of them can be."

Mellen: ...

Shi Ren said with a bitter face: "Sir, my time ability..."

Mellen waved his hand and said, "If your strength increases, for example, to the level of a demigod, will you be able to do one of those two methods?"

Shi Ren hesitated and said, "I...I can't guarantee it."

Mellen said: "Okay, go find Xiaoyin, he will arrange everything for you."

After the Fighting Soul Clan left, Melen looked thoughtful.

Dark Blade said: "Although I have said it many times, I want to say it again, thank you, Melen, you saved the Fighting Spirit Clan!"

Melen smiled slightly, skipped the topic, and asked, "If I want Shiren to completely merge with a dog like you did, is it possible?"

Dark Blade shook his head and said, "Normally, the Fighting Soul Clan is divided into Fighting Soldiers and Soul Soldiers. We are just weapons and need a host to unleash our true strength."

"I am different. I am a mutant from the Fighting Spirit Clan... a demon soldier. That's why I can completely take over the host's body and use it for my own purposes."

Melen said somewhat disappointedly: "In other words, other fighting spirit clans can't do this?"

Dark Blade nodded.

The shortcut disappeared, and the problem returned to the starting point again. For now, he can only pin his hopes on the Time Blade, hoping that it will be able to master more time rules after its strength increases.

To do this, a comprehensive training plan is needed.

Of course, Mellen doesn't need to worry about this matter himself, he can just leave it to the Xiaoyin clone in the fairy tale kingdom.

After Dark Blade left, Mellen prepared to return to the Arena in front of the Gods. The atmosphere there was very suitable for Spike to complete the final accumulation before his promotion to Demigod.

But at this moment, he received news from Xiao Liuli and Nasus at the same time.

After conversing with the two dogs, Melen muttered to himself, "The secret realm of Jinding Mountain? The Jinding Immortal? The legacy of the True Immortal? This is definitely worth a look!"

Chapter 528 Entering the Secret Realm of Jinding Mountain

In just less than a month, the entire mountain and sea world was in turmoil, and the news of the secret realm of Jinding Mountain was spreading like wildfire.

Those powerful forces with records of inheritance naturally made their moves in advance and made various arrangements in order to seize the initiative. Those who were late to the party were unwilling to give up this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and hoped to gain something.

In the midst of this game between various parties, the secret realm of Jinding Mountain descended upon Qingshui Prefecture.

A majestic golden mountain floats in the sky, seemingly existing in the world of mountains and seas, yet also independent of reality.

Some strong men took off into the sky and tried to chase the golden sacred mountain, but no matter how they flew, the golden sacred mountain was always far away in the sky and could not be reached. Only the real "destined people" could be led into it.

There is a golden line on the Golden Sacred Mountain, which also represents the number of people entering. On the first day that the Golden Sacred Mountain appeared, half of the golden lines were lit up, which means that at that time, 1500 people from Qingshui Prefecture were led into the Jinding Mountain Dojo.

The Jinding Mountain Dojo is open for thirty years each time. If the entrant is satisfied with his or her gains, he or she can withdraw at any time.
