Chapter 405 I Established a Sect in the Cultivation World (34 pages)

Five years have passed in the blink of an eye.

Zhou Jue's footsteps have traversed four continents, and his cultivation level has quietly risen from the fifth level of the Nascent Soul stage to the ninth level.

At this moment, she stood in a celestial city called "Wangxing City" in the Southern Region, looking up at the sky.

Above the clouds, the celestial mountains appear and disappear, and the brilliance of countless stars is still clearly visible in the daytime, like a giant net that covers the entire mountain range.

That is the Star Gazing Tower, the number one array formation sect in the Southern Region.

Her target was the protective array of the Star Gazing Tower, the Zhou Tian Star Array.

The divine sense reached out like ripples on water, but the moment it touched that starlight, it was silently dissolved by a vast and profound power, without even causing a ripple.

Zhou Jue withdrew his divine sense, raising an eyebrow slightly.

"That's interesting."

This formation directly draws upon the power of the stars above the nine heavens, aligning with the laws of heaven and earth to form its own realm.

Any attempt to spy on it is futile unless it is crushed by absolute force.

Forcing your way in would be like throwing an egg against a rock.

Half a month later, an inconspicuous little stall appeared in the busiest market in Wangxing City.

The stall owner was a female cultivator in green robes. Her cultivation level appeared to be only at the Great Perfection of the Golden Core stage. She had delicate features and a calm demeanor.

The stall only displayed a few of the most common low-level talismans, such as cleansing talismans and fire-starting talismans.

"Fairy, how much are your cleansing talismans?"

“Three low-grade spirit stones,” Zhou Jue replied without looking up.

"So expensive? You can buy five of these for one spirit stone at the stall next door!"

"My talisman works well." Zhou Jue still had that "take it or leave it" attitude.

The cultivator pursed his lips, but ultimately took out spirit stones and bought a few.

Unbeknownst to him, as he haggled over the price, a vast ocean of runes was surging wildly deep within the stall owner's slightly lowered eyes.

The Book of All Things is operating at full capacity.

She captured, disassembled, analyzed, and reconstructed every faint fluctuation of the laws that the Zhou Tian Star Formation scattered throughout the world.

Today is the centennial celebration of the Star Gazing Tower. The entire Star Gazing City is decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations, and countless cultivators have come from all directions to witness the grandeur of this great sect.

Zhou Jue's stall was busier than usual.

Just as she was distracted by a rogue cultivator who wanted to buy on credit, a middle-aged man dressed in brocade robes, who looked like a shop manager, walked through the crowded people and went straight to her stall.

He didn't look at the talismans, but instead bowed respectfully to Zhou Jue.

"Fairy, I apologize for disturbing you."

Zhou Jue looked up and calmly stared at him.

"What's up?"

The steward presented a dazzling invitation with both hands.

"My master learned that the fairy is here, and specially ordered me to deliver an invitation. There will be an internal auction at Ziyun Pavilion tonight. My master said that you may find something of interest."

He paused, then added in an even lower voice.

"The master also said that if the fairy needs any 'convenience' in Wangxing City, the entire Ziyun Pavilion will do its utmost to help."

Zhou Jue accepted the invitation, which bore the familiar cloud pattern emblem of Ziyun Pavilion.

"Please thank your sect leader for me," she said calmly.

"Yes, Your Highness would not dare to disturb your peaceful cultivation."

The steward bowed again and quietly disappeared into the crowd, as if he had never been there.

The surrounding cultivators assumed it was a merchant guild trying to solicit business and paid no attention. It seemed that the other party was very satisfied with their several "chance" collaborations with Ziyun Pavilion over the past few years.

Night falls.

Above the Star-Gazing Tower, the bell tolls nine times, its sound carrying for miles.

The centennial celebration has officially begun.

In an instant, the Zhou Tian Star Array that covered the entire mountain range shone brightly, and billions of starlight fell, transforming into celestial maidens, cranes, unicorns and other auspicious phenomena, which flew and circled in the air.

The entire city of Wangxing was awestruck by this miraculous sight. Countless people came out of their homes, looked up, and exclaimed in amazement.

"My God! Is this the power of the Zhou Tian Star Formation?"

"As expected of the number one immortal sect in the Southern Region!"

Zhou Jue remained seated at her stall in the market, her eyes closed, seemingly oblivious to the earth-shattering scene unfolding outside.

Within the sea of ​​consciousness, the ocean of runes suddenly surged with towering waves.

With the grand formation operating at full power, countless core nodes and laws that were usually hidden were now clearly exposed to her deductions.

It's like solving the most complex puzzle; the last piece of the puzzle has finally been found.

Buzz—

Zhou Jue's sea of ​​consciousness trembled slightly.

The intricate celestial constellation, constructed from billions of stars, was successfully imprinted and etched into her mind in a perfect and complete way.

It's done.

She slowly opened her eyes, her gaze sparkling like stars before instantly returning to calm.

She packed up her stall, blended into the crowd still in shock, and quietly left.

...

Time flies.

Two more years have passed.

The Western Desert, deep within an ancient site buried by yellow sand.

Zhou Jue was studying the ancient characters on a broken mural with great interest.

After seven years of travel, her cultivation had reached the Great Perfection of the Nascent Soul stage, and she was only one opportunity away from the legendary Void Refinement stage.

Suddenly, a jade talisman in her arms began to vibrate violently without warning.

It is Zhao Sizhe's "Thousand-Mile Transmission Talisman".

She infused her spiritual power, and Zhao Sizhe's calm yet subtly urgent voice came from the jade talisman.

"metropolitan."

"The ten-year deadline has been reduced to just three months."

"The time is approaching, please return."

Zhou Jue held the warm jade talisman, his movements frozen in place.

She slowly raised her head, her gaze piercing through the dome of the ruins, looking towards the distant east.

The direction of Xuantian Sect.

Seven years have passed.

It's time... to go home.

Zhou Jue stopped a thousand miles away from the Hundred Thousand Mountains on his flying sword.

After seven years away from home, the scene before her made her feel somewhat dazed.

The once desolate mountain edge has now become a bustling mega-market.

Countless cultivators rode in and out of magical artifacts and flying boats, creating a bustling and lively atmosphere.

Centered around the mountain gate of the Xuantian Sect, the market town stretches for hundreds of miles, with shops lined up one after another displaying all sorts of signs.

"Special offer from Xuantian Pavilion: the latest 'Wind and Fire Wheels' flying magic weapon, limited quantity, first come, first served!"

"Qingye Sect's Pill Shop: All pills are 10% off today!"

"Iron Sword Sect branch undertakes all kinds of flying sword customization and repair services!"

When Zhou Jue saw the two familiar shops, a smile involuntarily appeared on his lips.

It seems that the three major sects in Linyuan Town have now been completely integrated into the economic system of the Xuantian Sect.

Without pausing, she swayed and passed directly through the protective array, landing inside the mountain gate.

A surge of powerful spiritual energy rushed towards her, more than ten times stronger than when she left.

Within the valley, there are magnificent palaces and pavilions, fertile fields and winding paths, and cascading waterfalls and flowing springs.

Countless disciples were either sparring in the training grounds, working in the spiritual fields, or flying by in a hurry on their magical artifacts.

The entire sect was brimming with vitality.

"Greetings, Sect Master!"

"The sect leader is back!"

Several patrolling disciples spotted Zhou Jue and immediately knelt down on one knee in excitement.

Their voices, like pebbles thrown into a lake, instantly created ripples.

"Welcome back, Sect Master!"

"Welcome back, Sect Master!"

Inside the valley, thousands of disciples, whatever they were doing, stopped at this moment, faced Zhou Jue's direction, and bowed respectfully.

The sound waves surged like a tidal wave, soaring straight into the sky.

Looking at those young and energetic faces, Zhou Jue felt a strange sensation.
