Chapter 977 - The Origin of Celestial Sect

Huangfu Qingjue could tell that even if Ling Chuxi and the Glass Gold Beast didn’t form a contract, this little guy wouldn’t leave. He couldn’t even be chased away—he stuck to Ling Chuxi all day long!

After solving the problem of Little Meatball’s low spirits, Ling Chuxi felt more relaxed as they continued their journey to Celestial Sect.

Once they entered Celestial Sect territory, they immediately knew that Celestial Sect’s cities were on a different level from others. Although they were prosperous and thriving, their cities were orderly. It was clear that Celestial Sect’s rules were very stringent, and they were extremely strict with their disciples.

Ling Chuxi could also understand why Lu Chengfeng was so arrogant as soon as he arrived at Golden Pill Sect, always putting on the airs of an expert and talking endlessly. He must have been too depressed in Celestial Sect.

“That’s where the inner sect of our Celestial Sect is located. The Celestial Peak is also the highest peak among all the major sects,” said Duan Feiyu proudly to Ling Chuxi as he pointed at a mountain in the distance.

Ling Chuxi looked far into the distance and saw a grand mountain peak into the clouds, its top half hidden behind clouds. Even with Ling Chuxi’s eyesight, she could only vaguely see the mountain piercing through the sky like a sword, as if it had reached the limit of the sky, connecting heaven and earth as one.

“If I’m not wrong, the name of Celestial Sect comes from this Celestial Peak, right?” Lan Xinyu guessed.

“You can say that, but it’s not entirely true. It is said that in ancient times, a senior created the Celestial Cultivation Method and brought down a divine sword with a proud roar upon this world. Our Celestial Sect Leader was fated to meet and be taught the Celestial Cultivation Method by the senior. The method was passed on from generation to generation, but eventually, the later generations of elders started to have difficulties fully comprehending the Celestial Cultivation Method.

“It wasn’t until when the 73rd leader of Celestial Sect happen upon this strange peak by chance and spent 60 years to finally cultivating the Celestial Cultivation Method that we finally managed to fully grasp it. From then on, we established the Celestial Sect and stood proudly among the major sects. This strange peak was eventually given the name Celestial Peak,” said Duan Feiyu.

A careless word may reveal much to an attentive listener. Duan Feiyu might not have revealed much when he was talking about the senior earlier, but Ling Chuxi knew that he was talking about was Senior Cang Yuan. When she saw the Celestial Peak towering into the clouds, Ling Chuxi couldn’t help but be fascinated. Only this strange peak that seemed to connect heaven and earth could be worthy of Senior Cang Yuan’s peerless mental cultivation method.

“Young Sect Master, you’re back.” At this moment, a few elders walked up to greet them. When they saw that Duan Xiaomo’s eyes were no longer empty and confused like before, they became delighted and said, “The second young master is back too.”

“Elder Qiu, Mr. Zhao, Mr. Huang.” Duan Feiyu greeted them warmly and then introduced Ling Chuxi and the others.

The leader of the group was Elder Qiu, one of the guest elders of the Celestial Sect. The other two were both guest elders and had the same status as Lu Chengfeng. However, they were much stronger than Lu Chengfeng. Moreover, their attitude was neither servile nor overbearing.

“So this is Sect Leader Ling. I’ve heard a lot about you. You’re indeed a young talent,” said Elder Qiu warmly to Ling Chuxi.

“Elder Qiu, you’re too kind. I’ve prepared a small gift for you. Please accept it, Elder Qiu.” Ling Chuxi laughed but she was a little confused. She had only been in the Sacred Realm of the Sects for a few days. How could she be famous already? And Elder Qiu didn’t look like he was simply flattering her.

Su Yanhua was already on standby. He immediately put forward the gift he had prepared.

“I didn’t expect Sect Leader Ling to be so considerate. I humbly accept this gift on behalf of the Celestial Sect leader.” Elder Qiu was not shy as he accepted the gift with a forthright smile.
