Although it was not the time period for the Ancient God Sect to accept disciples, Chen Luo took the token given to him by Venerable Kuchai. After seeing the token, the gatekeeper disciple immediately led him into the sect.

"Where did you get this token?"

Inside the Ancient God Sect.

A middle-aged man with a bare upper body and waist-length black clothes looked at the token in his hand. The aura of this man was extremely strong, second only to that of the Ku Chai Venerable on the mountain.

"The poor old man gave it to me."

Chen Luo looked like a fool, and the middle-aged man who asked the question was stunned for a moment when he saw his expression. But after thinking about the strange temper of the Kuchai Master, he was no longer surprised.

"Since you have been recommended by the Venerable, you will be the 27th generation disciple of my Ancient God Sect from today on."

The middle-aged man said a few simple words and assigned Chen Luo to the third peak.

Since there is a venerable leading the way, the other elders are not qualified to accept him as a disciple and can only let him roam free on the third peak.

The tedious onboarding and handover took two days.

The disciple took Chen Luo to visit all the main buildings on the mountain, including the library, the magic weapon pavilion, the mission pavilion, etc.

"What's that place in the middle?"

When he reached a main building, Chen Luo stopped and asked a question, then he silently pressed back the treasure-hunting rat that had stuck its head out with his right hand.

"That's the ancient temple."

The disciple who led the way looked in the direction Chen Luo pointed and immediately spoke.

Ancient temple?

"The fundamental map of our Ancient God Sect is stored here."

"I see."

Chen Luo nodded and took note of the place, then followed the guiding disciple to continue collecting the basic items for disciples joining the sect.

"Doesn't our Ancient God Sect have a cemetery? Where did the elders of the sect sit and die? I want to go and pay my respects."

"Worshiping the elders?"

Hearing Chen Luo's request, the guide was stunned for a moment. He had been a guide for so long, but this was the first time he heard such a request.

"That may not work. Only the sect master knows where the elders of the sect passed away."

"Why is that?"

"I heard it has something to do with reincarnation, but I don't know the details."

Two days later, Chen Luo arrived at the third peak.

Compared with the two bustling main peaks in front, the third peak was obviously much quieter. There were very few people on the mountain. Along the way, Chen Luo only saw two people. Both of them were sitting on the rocks practicing, like stone sculptures. No one came to pay attention to him from beginning to end.

"They both just joined last year, so they can be considered your senior brothers."

Seeing Chen Luo looking over, the disciple who led the way smiled and spoke.

Now is not the time period for Ancient God Sect to recruit disciples. Chen Luo was admitted as a special disciple with the token of the Venerable. So, strictly speaking, he is the youngest disciple of this generation, and all his peers are of higher seniority than him.

“Why are there so few people on the Third Peak?”

"The Third Peak is a gathering place for geniuses. Only those with strong enough qualifications are qualified to stay in the Third Peak. I heard from the elders in the sect that true geniuses only need guidance, not instruction. Excessive guidance will only limit their development." When talking about this, a hint of envy flashed in the eyes of the disciple who led the way.

Although the disciples of the Third Peak have no teachers to teach them, their resources and treatment are the best in the Ancient Divine Sect, and they never have to worry about resources for practice.

Unlike the disciples on the first and second peaks, they also need to carry out missions and use contribution points to exchange for the needs of daily practice.

genius?

Chen Luo immediately understood his situation. He entered the sect with the token of Venerable Kuchai. No one in the Ancient God Sect dared to accept him as a disciple. The best way to deal with it was to leave him on the third peak and let him develop on his own.

"Thank you for clearing up my confusion, brother."

Chen Luo immediately expressed his gratitude to the disciple who led the way.

"I don't dare."

The disciple who was introduced responded immediately.

Although he entered the sect a year earlier than Chen Luo, his aptitude was mediocre. He had practiced for such a long time but had only just entered the Foundation Establishment Stage. Compared with the genius of the Third Peak, he was not at the same level at all.

After seeing off the guiding disciple, Chen Luo sat down in his room.

As a formal disciple of the Ancient God Sect, the treatment of the Third Peak was very good. The living environment was elegant and the spiritual energy in the house was abundant, equivalent to the fifth-level spiritual vein. This was only in the upper realm. In the lower realm, the fifth-level spiritual vein was enough to make the Divine Transformation cultivators jealous, but in the upper realm, the foundation-building disciples could enjoy it. No wonder they looked down on the cultivators in the lower realm.

The gap is really too big.

"This Ancient Divine Sect's physical training method does have its own unique features."

Looking through the ancient god's physical training method given to him by Venerable Kuchai, Chen Luo's external brain quickly became active.

'This is the wonderful method of the immortal way!'

"It turns out that physical training can be practiced this way."

The brains of a group of physical practitioners who are proficient in physical training are a hundred times more alert, as if they were reading a divine book.

'Superior physical training technique.'

The second brother Qiu Yuan gave a fair evaluation.

'generally.'

Brother Changqing’s vision is as high as ever.

If you can catch Brother Changqing’s eye, you can practice this skill!

After getting the golden finger for so long, Chen Luo also figured out Brother Changqing's perspective. In Brother Changqing's eyes, 99% of the martial arts in this world are garbage, and only some martial arts with extraordinary potential can be in his eyes. For example, Chen Luo's major "Soul Art" and the "Demon Bone Array Pattern Art" given to him by the former pig demon.

"Keep a low profile for a while, and then arrange an adventure for myself to improve my cultivation."

Chen Luo sat cross-legged with his eyes closed, and began to think about the next route.

After coming to the upper realm for so long, he had been a bandit outside. Now he has finally become a regular soldier, and it is a good time to calm down and solve the problem of his own cultivation. After the second step of soul refining, Chen Luo's cultivation level has been raised to the middle stage of soul transformation. As time goes by, the cracks on his soul have been basically repaired.

But the third step of soul refining still has not found the direction.

The problem lies in the fundamental diagram.

He now has two fundamental pictures on him. The first is the "Barbarian Beast Picture" of Silent Valley, and the second is the "Kui Niu Picture" of the demon race.

These two fundamental diagrams are engraved diagrams from other Taoist sects. They can be borrowed for cultivation during the first and second steps of soul refining, but starting from the third step, the differences in details become apparent. There is only one way to continue practicing with these two diagrams, which is to change to the techniques of these two major forces. But for Chen Luo, this path is definitely not feasible. The technique he practices is derived by Brother Changqing by integrating the strengths of hundreds of schools. It is related to his own foundation and is absolutely impossible to change.

As the technique was running, Chen Luo could clearly feel the flow of Qi and blood in his body.

For Chen Luo, who has a perfect foundation, mastering the Ancient God Sect's methods is easy.

It’s not possible to modify it, but just practice one more thing and there will be no conflict.

"The Ancient God Sect also has a fundamental diagram. I can first practice the Ancient God Sect's method and use the Ancient God Sect's 'fundamental diagram' to improve my realm. Then I can come back to consider the issues of 'Dharma phase' and 'meaning phase'." Chen Luo remembered the breath he had sensed outside the Ancient God Temple before.

All the treasure-hunting rats that had been digging holes in the cave gourd were lured out.

Controlling his body to practice, his external aura easily advanced from the early stage of foundation building to the middle stage of foundation building. With Chen Luo's current realm, looking back at the practice of foundation building, he felt that it was extremely simple. If he had not deliberately suppressed it, he would have been able to form a pill in one night.

The practice on the third peak was peaceful.

No one came to disturb him in the first month.

It was not until the beginning of the second month that someone remembered him, the new junior fellow apprentice, and notified him to go to the Transmission Platform to receive the martial arts techniques.

The third peak is about free-range cultivation, but the skills still need to be taught by the elders of the sect. At present, the only skill that Chen Luo can show is the "Ancient God Body Refining Method" given to him by the Kuchai Venerable. This method only reaches the early stage of the Golden Core, and the second volume needs to be obtained by Chen Luo himself.

"Junior Brother Ding?"

When Chen Luo came over, there were already two people at the Transformation Platform, a man and a woman, both of whom were very burly, and one could sense the evil spirit from them as soon as he got close.

The Ancient God Sect is a sect that practices physical cultivation. Its aura is completely different from those of magic cultivators and sword cultivators, and this can be seen from their appearance.

"Meet Senior Brother Ling and Senior Sister Zhang."

Chen Luo knew the identities of these two people. Like him, they were both talented disciples of the Ancient God Sect. The conditions for joining the Third Peak were very harsh. These two won the competition among all disciples of the same level and were the most dazzling talents among their peers.

"Since you are all here, I will talk about it together."

Before the three of them could exchange pleasantries, a figure appeared at the end of the martial arts transmission platform.

An elegant man in white appeared on the platform, his aura was incompatible with the Ancient God Sect. The moment he appeared, the surrounding heaven and earth energy became noticeably active, this was a power that only Jindan cultivators could master.

"Hello, Senior Brother."

Ling and Zhang immediately bowed their heads and greeted him.

The elegant man also nodded in response. Chen Luo stood at the back and took another look at the elegant man. He sensed a demonic aura from him. The violence hidden under his body was like an active volcano, which could get out of control at any time. This feeling was different from Ling and Zhang. Ling and Zhang were only strong on the surface, and they were still human in nature. But the man in white in front of him was different. His inner self had completely changed, like a ferocious beast.

A ferocious beast with human skin covering its body.

Human skin?

Chen Luo's expression paused for a moment, and he couldn't help but think of an old friend.

The founder of the Jinguan Cave in the Tiannan Region, the Painted Skin Demon!

The last time he met the Painted Skin Demon, this guy was planning something with the pig demon Zhu Chungang in the demon world. He was in a hurry to escape at that time and didn't ask. I don't know if he left later or whether he also went to the upper world.

"You can call me Nebula."

The elegant man first briefly introduced his identity.

The senior brother who teaches Kung Fu at the third peak.

He has reached the Perfect Dan Stage and is currently accumulating strength to form an Infant Formation. There are some older brothers and sisters ahead of him, but these people basically stay in the Ancient Temple to observe the "Fundamental Diagram" and rarely come back on weekdays.

"Senior Brother Xingyun."

"The main reason I came here today is to teach you the cultivation method of the Foundation Establishment Realm." When he said this, Xing Yun deliberately glanced at Chen Luo.

Normally, to become a direct disciple of the third peak of the Ancient God Sect, one must pass the test of the Ancient God Skull and win the sect competition. Chen Luo did not go through this process. He was recommended by the Ku Chai Venerable to join. With the hand order of the ancestor, all these tedious procedures were omitted, and no one dared to ask.

"If you don't understand anything, you can ask me. I will guide you for three years."

Xingyun said with a kind look.

"What about three years later?" the disciple named Ling asked in confusion.

"Three years later, it will be you who will naturally guide the new junior brothers." Xingyun said with a smile.

If you can’t reach the Jindan stage within three years, you will not be qualified to stay in the Third Peak.
