CHAPTER 962: CHAPTER 83: FIRST SPIRIT ROOT TEST

Yan Jiantong finally got the result he wanted and gained the opportunity to embark on the path of cultivation.

Of course, this was merely an opportunity, and whether he could successfully walk this path depended on whether he possessed the aptitude for cultivation.

He, along with Li Qiang and Li Mu, was brought to Tianyuan Mountain by Zhang Xiaoman using the Wind Control Technique.

As soon as they arrived, all four people and a dog and a fox, including Master Liu, were dumbfounded, captivated by the scenery of this blessed land.

At this moment, Yan Jiantong no longer resembled a big shot of the martial world, not caring about his image at all, looking around like Liu Laolao entering Grand View Garden.

"Is this...is this really the sect of cultivators...? It’s even more magnificent than I imagined...the immortal energy is so ethereal, it’s truly a Langhuan Blessed Land..."

He said with a face full of shock.

Pei Laoliu was handling it much better than the other three.

After all, the old man was already a Transcendent and had lived for a period at a place like Dragon Sleep Mountain, so he wasn’t likely to make a fool of himself.

Zhang Xiaoman directly took them to the top of the Main Peak, which he had already restored.

Were it not for the unmanaged lush grass and trees, no one would think the place was previously desolate and dilapidated.

"Tianyuan Sect...?"

Yan Jiantong said, looking at the words on the plaque.

Zhang Xiaoman nodded and said:

"That’s right, this was once the Tianyuan Sect. Due to certain changes, the cultivators perished, and now it’s abandoned. But it can be used as our sect’s base."

As he spoke, he took an Elder Jade Token from his storage ring and handed it to Pei Laoliu, saying:

"Master Liu, from now on, you are an elder of the Tianyuan Sect. With this Jade Token, you can enter most places within the sect. I’m counting on you here."

Master Liu looked at the green jade token in his hand, instinctively reaching to take it, but suddenly stopped and quietly asked:

"Xiao Man...wasn’t I the Great Elder of Taiyi Sect...and now I’ve become an elder of the Tianyuan Sect, won’t it...?"

He remembered the tall tales he had spun to Yan Jiantong and the others before.

Zhang Xiaoman smiled slyly at him and said:

"What’s wrong? You don’t want it, Master Liu? If not, never mind, I’ll give it to someone else..."

"No, no!"

Pei Laoliu panicked upon hearing this and snatched the Jade Token, stuffing it into his pocket.

"Since I’m versatile, I’ll reluctantly take on multiple roles. But don’t you forget, the position of Great Elder of Taiyi Sect better not go to someone else..."

Zhang Xiaoman smiled helplessly and said:

"Even if I forget anyone else, I won’t forget you, Master Liu. The former Sect Leader of the Tianyuan Sect gave me many opportunities, and I don’t wish to sever its lineage... Once we find the remaining sect locations, I’ll help create a Taiyi Sect for you."

Pei Laoliu nodded in satisfaction and left with a beaming face.

The group familiarized themselves with the sect grounds, but after only a few steps, they suddenly felt the ground tremble and rocks rumbled.

Yan Jiantong and the others looked fearful and wanted to run to an open space, thinking an earthquake was happening.

"Woo-woo-woo~"

Dahei and Little White tucked their tails and hid behind Jiu Jiu, fearfully looking in the direction of Jade Spirit Lake.

The next second, a head as large as a small mountain emerged from the water.

Countless water droplets fell in the group’s direction like a torrential downpour.

Zhang Xiaoman casually waved his hand, diverting all the lake water to prevent them from getting soaked.

"Dragon...dragon...dragon!!!"

Li Mu repeatedly muttered the word while looking at the azure dragon head, clearly shocked to the extreme.

In their world, there were also legends of the Dragon Clan.

As on Water Blue Star, dragons here were mythical powerful divines, and the royal family used them as their totem.

Seeing a legendary Divine Dragon with their own eyes, how could they remain calm?

Even a Transcendent like Master Liu was visibly excited and couldn’t contain himself.

Zhang Xiaoman understood their feelings.

When he first saw it, he felt the same.

"Hmm? Dragon? I am no dragon; I am the Immortal Realm Divine Beast, Niyang!"

With a gust of wind, Niyang spoke.

"N-not a dragon...?"

Li Mu couldn’t process its words, still staring blankly.

Zhang Xiaoman was momentarily stunned too; he never expected the creature he thought was a Divine Dragon to claim it wasn’t a dragon.

He quickly realized the misunderstanding and understood he’d been wrong from the start, mistaking Niyang for a name.

In truth, Niyang represented a unique species.

Finally, Zhang Xiaoman realized why he always found Niyang’s appearance peculiar.

Normal dragons were supposed to have two horns.

Niyang, while resembling them, had three horns and was not from the so-called Dragon Clan.

"Boy, remember, I am not a weak dragon; I am a unique Divine Beast, Niyang! Don’t call me wrong again!"

Niyang roared in discontent, scaring Li Mu, who fell on his butt, nearly wetting his pants.
