It is more like a group of islands than a mountain.
It consists of thousands of islands of different sizes connected together to form a ring-shaped island area.
To walk back and forth, you need a boat to guide you.
The largest island among them, masters established the "Yuanchen Sect" here thousands of years ago.
"Yuanchen Sect" is a second-rate sect. There are two True Lords of "Dongtian", three True Lords of Yangshen, and five True Lords of Yinshen. They have hundreds of golden elixirs and countless innate talents.
The largest spiritual force.
There are also thousands of small and large islands around there that are also occupied by practitioners.
Although there is no popular sect, it has spread the reputation of Thirty-six Islands and Seventy-two Caves.
Yuan Chenshan acts very domineeringly and sets rules within the island group.
All registered cultivators in the island group must join Yuanchen Mountain as long as they have reached Yuanshen.
This is also why there are so many practitioners in Yuanchen Mountain.
This rule makes many people secretly hate it, but no one dares to openly oppose it.
I have to say that this is a huge hidden danger, and we don’t know when it will break out.
The local spiritual practice world is surrounded by the deep sea.
The sea beasts and complex and changeable weather in the sea place relatively high demands on the strength of island cultivators.
In order to better protect the residents of the island group, Yuanchen Mountain has implemented the jungle law of survival of the fittest here.
Thirty-six Islands must be a real person in the Golden Core Realm to stand up.
There will be an open challenge every fifty years, in which a new real person will challenge the ranking of the thirty-six islands, and the winner will take the loser's position.
The requirements for the Seventy-Two Cave are much lower. As long as they are practitioners, they can serve as cave masters, but they still have to accept the challenge of lower positions every ten years.
Whenever there was a challenge, the fighting between them was very fierce, with heavy casualties.
The reason for this is because there are huge benefits in it.
It is important to know that in this island area, all islands must contribute 50% of their resources to Yuanchen Mountain every year. In exchange, Yuanchen Mountain will recognize the legal status of the island owner.
This is not the case for the thirty-six islands and seventy-two holes that have been ranked. The tribute resources have been greatly reduced and are almost non-existent.
This is also Yuanchenshan's strategy, to encourage fighting and select elite talents.
Because of this, countless practitioners come to the island every year for dreams and resources.
Although most people are lost in the crowd, there are always outstanding talents who stand out in the waves.
And this is also the reason why Yuanchen Mountain’s strength is getting stronger and stronger.
This rule has been established for a long time and has penetrated into the bones of every resident on the island.
The soil and water support the people, which also leads to the perseverance and aggressive character of the local practitioners.
Zhang Ke felt this keenly as soon as he set foot on the island.
He arrived at the island in the evening by sea boat. This is the outer ring of the circular island.
The island is not big, with thousands of residents. The owner of the island is named Zhao Ping'an, who has a congenital cultivation base.
There are also several Xiantian realm practitioners under his command. In view of the name of the island owner, this island is called "Ping An Island".
The largest number of small islands with no names in the nearby sea area are dotted in thousands.
Most of the residents on the island make a living by fishing. The practitioners cooperate with some warriors and patrol the island in groups.
Zhang Ke was noticed as soon as he landed on the island, maybe because of the geographical relationship.
Most of the local residents are short, and due to the high temperatures all year round, men are generally tanned.
Zhang Ke's tall and burly figure stood out from the crowd like a chicken, extremely conspicuous.
Many young women on the island quietly looked at this rare tall man in front of them.
The bold ones stared directly at them without any hesitation.
At the same time, because of the hot weather, and being on an island, the air is a bit humid. This is not inconsistent, it is such a strange climate.
Local residents generally wear less clothing. Most of the men wear bamboo hats, are shirtless, have their trouser legs rolled up high, and wear straw sandals at their feet.
Women are even more different from those in Dingzhou, although they also have bamboo hats and gauze covering their faces.
Most of them were shorts and vests, revealing a healthy skin tone, which really opened Zhang Ke's horizons.
After just a few more glances, several young people immediately gathered around and shouted questions with their eyes wide open.
"Hey! Blind man, what are you looking at?"
These people couldn't even complete the foundation building. Seeing the eagerness on their faces, Zhang Ke was speechless.
Sighing: "You said it, I'm blind, what else can I see!"
"..."
The few people who gathered around were speechless. They were just unhappy that Zhang Ke had attracted the attention of other women.
I want to make trouble, but I don't want to be pricked softly.
They looked at each other, wondering whether they should continue to get angry.
At this moment, a man came over and scolded: "How presumptuous! The Taoist Master doesn't care about you. Why are you still here? Leave immediately!"
Those few people's hearts skipped a beat when they realized that the blind man in front of them was actually a practitioner. They were a little panicked and quickly apologized.
Zhang Ke didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and waved his hand, not taking it seriously.
After a few people left, the one who spoke to save the siege spoke: "To make my fellow Taoist laugh, we are a group of country people who have never seen the world. They have no eyes to recognize Mount Tai. I, Yu Xiucheng, don't know your surname? Why are you here?"
Although his tone of voice was polite, he asked Zhang Ke directly about his origins.
This made Zhang Ke somewhat uncomfortable.
Zhang Kegong cupped his hands and said: "Zhang Ke, a poor Taoist, has met fellow Taoist Yu. There is some reason for coming here, but it's just not easy to let fellow Taoist know about it, as it will offend me!"
Yu Xiucheng frowned a little. This place belongs to the outer ring islands and is under the jurisdiction of "Silver Sand Island", one of the thirty-six islands.
Usually few monks come here. Looking at the appearance of the Taoist priest in front of me, it is clear that he is well prepared, but he does not know whether something will happen in this life.
"It seems that the island owner needs to make a decision on this matter."
After thinking for a moment, he said to Zhang Ke: "Since the matter is confidential, I can't ask. If you have anything to discuss, you can feel free to find me among the island warriors."
After that, he said "goodbye" and left.
Zhang Ke secretly admired him for acting vigorously and resolutely.
I randomly found an inn to stay at. Due to the geographical location, dinner consisted of mostly seafood and very few vegetables.
Isn't there a saying that high-end ingredients can be a delicious meal as long as they are prepared naturally.
The seafood was boiled directly in fresh water, without even adding salt, and Zhang Ke was still full of praise for it.
After finishing his evening classes as usual, Zhang Ke went to bed early. The exhaustion of the past few days had brought his spirit and body to the limit.
As soon as his head hit the pillow, he fell asleep and even snored slightly.
The little peacock girl quietly appeared, guarding Zhang Ke's side, her cute eyes only looking at Zhang Ke.
Seeing beads of sweat on his forehead, he yelled "嘤嘤" twice.
Turning around and waving his tail feathers, Zhang Ke's expression became comfortable and soft as the cool breeze hit him.
During sleep, along with breathing, the body automatically performs the "Nine Transformations of the Golden Cicada" technique. Between relaxation and relaxation, the cultivation level slowly advances.
