900: Chapter 0900 Mount Tai Secret Realm 900: Chapter 0900 Mount Tai Secret Realm In Taoist legend, the world went through three eras.

The first was the Ancient Desolate Era, when the heavens and earth were newly formed, and the world was chaotic and disordered.

Heaven and earth were a whole, within the same universe.

Various physically mighty members of the Witch Tribe and the Demon Clan roamed the world, undeterred even by Saints.

Later, a war between the witches and demons shattered the skies and cracked the earth.

The Witch Tribe’s Gonggong broke Mount Buzhou, completely separating heaven and earth into two universes, marking the end of the first era.

The second era was the Ancient Era, when the Human Race rose, and the descendants of the Witch Tribe, the Demon Race, roamed the world, contesting aura with the humans.

Later, Emperor Yan and Chi You fought, turning the expanse of the netherworld’s mainland into multiple universes, thereby ending the second era.

The third era was the Ancient Times, marked by internal strife within the Human Race, with the Three Sects of the Daoist School and Western Buddhism each supporting a faction.

After the great Divine Enthronement War, the netherworld once again fragmented and the third era concluded.

Long Fei contemplated and realized that they were currently in the fourth era, likely at the legendary time of calamity.

Each time brought chaos to the cosmic order.

The accumulated tribulations of each era would erupt at this time.

Between heaven and earth, murderous aura boiled over, blood flowing like rivers, with all sorts of demonic spirits emerging, turning everything into chaos.

Only after this carnage passed would the world return to peace.

Then, a new cycle of calamity would begin, proceeding with another round of slaughter.

According to Long Fei’s understanding, the cosmos couldn’t sustain so many beings, much like the turnover of dynasties.

When populations exploded to a certain point where productivity couldn’t meet the demands of population growth, wars would erupt.

Then it was a matter of killing each other, reducing the population to a manageable level before wars would end.

Heaven and earth were merciless, regarding all beings as mere straw dogs.

Every cycle of tribulation was like this, regardless of the raging bloodbath, what heaven and earth sought was merely balance.

At such times, only those with a strong backing and formidable strength could survive.

Long Fei, having become the Hierarch of the Yin Yang Sect, always felt that someone had arranged all this behind the scenes.

If someone wanted him to be the disciple of the Eastern Emperor Tai Yi, then he would only worship the Eastern Emperor Tai Yi.

As for Sanqing and the Western Buddha Ancestor, they probably wouldn’t care about a small ant like him.

Long Fei made up his mind and immediately had someone bring over a stone tablet, on which he carved with his finger the words “Eastern Emperor Tai Yi.”

Hua Qianmo quietly reminded him, “Hierarch, it seems that the Eastern Emperor Tai Yi fell during the great Witch-Demon War?”

Long Fei coughed twice and said softly, “Even if he has fallen, he is still the leader of the Yin Yang Sect, whom we should rightfully worship.”

“And the Sanqing Sages?”

Hua Qianmo admired them.

Long Fei shook his head, “Never mind them, their disciples are already numerous, they won’t miss us.”

He persisted in honoring only one ranking, leading his disciples to bow deeply, offering sacrifices to the heavens and their ancestors.

The Yin Yang Sect, too, underwent some minor reforms under him.

Once disciples joined the sect, it was akin to entering high school.

They cultivated within the Inner Gate for a year, after which, according to their innate talent, they were assigned to one of the Eight Gates.

The Inner Gate, being the foremost among the Eight Gates, was directly overseen by Elders and the Sect Hierarch.

If a disciple possessed high talent, the Elders and Sect Hierarch could take them as direct disciples, or they could continue their cultivation in the Inner Gate.

This arrangement helped to ease new disciples’ discomfort upon entry and also allowed for the decentralization of power within the Death Sect.

The Yin Yang Sect’s external battles mainly relied on the strength of the Death Sect, gathering all powerful disciples within it.

Establishing the Inner Gate was a way to divert some power away from the Death Sect.

Otherwise, monopolizing would be a disaster for the Yin Yang Sect.

Inside the Inner Gate, they categorized based on various cultivation attributes.

There were those who specialized in Talisman Script, Formation, Alchemy, combat, and Divination.

People’s talents are different; they cannot be confined to one area.

The Demon Beast Sect of Hu Benyang and Ying Changkong and the Imperial Spirit Sect of Niu Dao had also become a discipline, specifically teaching physical cultivation.

The original operations of the Dragon Group and the Tiger Alliance were directly promoted to masters of various disciplines.

Although they were all still at the Core Formation Stage, they had already reached a leading position among this group.

A night’s meeting had settled the major and minor affairs of the Yin Yang Sect.

A group of people, connected through rules, had become a tightly knit group, no longer the ragtag bunch they were initially.

Though their strength was still quite weak, they were filled with vitality.

The first battle after the establishment of the Yin Yang Sect was to deal with the Demonic Clan of Mount Tai in the Secret Realm.

According to Long Fei’s plan, the Mount Tai in the Secret Realm would later become the territory of the Yin Yang Sect.

The entrance to the two worlds was right on a cliff at Jade Emperor Peak.

Just like the last time they entered the Secret Realm at Mount Olympus, they stretched a leg over the void of the cliff, and inside was the Secret Realm.

The people of the Dragon Group knew this place like the back of their hand and led everyone over.

They first jumped in four at a time, calling others from inside.

On the cliff, two or three hundred people watched the four disappear into the void, all with pupils dilated and expressions of astonishment.

Long Fei, standing outside, greeted the people, instructing the disciples to line up in two rows and enter through the crack in the void two-by-two.

For the disciples who suffered from acrophobia, stepping out over the cliff was more terrifying than being killed.

Below was a misty cloud-covered, bottomless chasm.

If one missed a step and fell, their body would be smashed to pieces.

The experts in front fearlessly jumped in one by one.

Towards the back, some disciples at the Enlightenment Realm and Foundation Establishment Realm had weak knees and stood on the cliff edge, unable to take the step.

Long Fei at the back simply kicked them in; as cultivators, they would later need to fly on swords.

If they couldn’t overcome even their fear of heights, they were only fit to do menial tasks in the future.

The crowd on the mountaintop entered one by one, leaving Lin Yingying and her group.

Long Fei reminded them, “Female disciples can wait until we stabilize our footing before entering.”

“Underestimating us?”

“This is gender discrimination!”

“We insist on going in!”

The group of women gave him a collective white-eyed glare and stepped gracefully inside.

Long Fei shook his head with a smile, waved at the members of the Dragon Group Special Combat Team in charge of securing the area, and followed them in last.

A surge of plant Essential Qi instantly hit their faces, the abundance of oxygen almost suffocating Long Fei momentarily.

Looking ahead, the towering Blue Mountains were lush and densely green, a scene so spectacular that everyone was stunned on the spot.

If it weren’t for the Dragon Group Special Combat Team, which had been operating here for over a decade and had established a large modern camp,

the disciples would have thought they had traveled back to prehistoric times.

The pines on the mountain were tall, some reaching up to a hundred meters, with canopies spread wide like skyscrapers.

This was a world nurtured by Spiritual Energy, a hundred times better than the smog-covered world outside.

Being here, people felt mentally and physically liberated, their skin as if soaked in a hot spring, incredibly comfortable and relaxed.
