The world is filled with myriad sects, horrific demons, and rising heroes, but each only reigns for a few hundred years. This world had no protagonist; it was merely a cycle of one power replacing ...
Li Sisui never imagined that his initial attempt to test the protagonist's aura would implicate so many people. Although he knew it wasn't his intention, he still felt somewhat guilty after Feng Teng Daoren's words, "You've ruined me." It wasn't that he was being overly sentimental; he just felt it was unnecessary to go to such lengths...
But clearly, neither the Tianmen Sect nor the Feihua Sect were making a mountain out of a molehill, and were even going so far as to escalate the issue, which intensified his sense of disgust!
It turns out that Daoist Fengteng and Fairy Qingdai, the sect leader of Feihua Sect, were originally cultivation partners. Previously, when the only son of Tianmen Sect got married, Daoist Fengteng had nothing to do with it. Although Yanyue Sect was considered a large sect at the time, it mainly benefited from Feihua Sect. Obviously, whether in cultivation or in managing the sect, Daoist Fengteng and Fairy Qingdai were incomparable. It was a typical case of a strong woman and a weak man.
This is why Feng Teng Daoren has always been persistent in adhering to his master's prophecy; he wants to prove himself and is not, as the rumors suggest, a gigolo...
Because of their dual cultivation relationship, Feng Teng Daoren naturally had the advantage of being close to the source and, as a relative of the Fei Hua Sect, had the opportunity to see the true face of the number one sect of Fu Gu Mountain!
However, when Fairy Qingdai extended her invitation, Daoist Fengteng politely declined. It wasn't until the latter offered to let him ride a demon beast mount alone, avoiding attention, that Daoist Fengteng considered it. After all, it was the number one sect in Fugu Mountain. At Daoist Fengteng's age, without some extraordinary encounter, he would probably only reach the Sage's Hill in this lifetime...
He was naturally eager to have the opportunity to set foot on Mount Fugu, but out of pride, he didn't show it as enthusiastically. However, Fairy Qingdai seemed to be fully aware of his little thoughts and had arranged everything in advance, thus preserving his last bit of dignity.
The two had been childhood sweethearts, but the path of cultivation was unpredictable, with things rarely going as planned. Feng Teng Daoren originally held a position in the Fei Hua Sect, but as Qing Dai Xianzi's cultivation improved and the sect's status rose, rumors began to circulate. Unable to bear it any longer, he eventually left the Fei Hua Sect and established the Yan Yue Sect, hoping to achieve something great and prove his abilities…
However, things didn't go as planned. Countless disciples who joined the sect hoped to jump to the Flying Flower Sect through the Hidden Moon Sect. Eventually, Daoist Feng Teng had no choice but to turn a blind eye. With the support of the Flying Flower Sect, the Hidden Moon Sect developed quite well and benefited from the Flying Flower Sect's success.
The demon beast that caught Li Sisui was no ordinary beast. This world is different from other worlds because the higher you go, the more abundant the spiritual energy becomes. In addition, the demon beasts have strong physical talents and are more adaptable to the environment than cultivators. Most of the demon beasts have their own intelligence, and there are even some heaven-defying demon beasts that have explored and created their own cultivation techniques!
This is why it is rare to see demonic beasts in places like Wulipo, Shengrenqiu, and Fugushan. The vast majority of demonic beasts are in the higher-level Shura Ridge. Only some demonic beasts with low cultivation but extraordinary talents can be captured and tamed, and made at the beck and call of cultivators.
As demonic beasts grow older, their intelligence also increases. Generally, the best time to tame these demonic beasts is during their infancy. By feeding them day and night, a bond similar to kinship can be gradually cultivated and established. Once the demonic beasts reach a certain age and begin to possess spiritual awareness, they can communicate with cultivators through divine sense.
The giant crane that Feng Teng Daoren rode was scientifically called the Cloud-Piercing Crane. Although its cultivation level was not high, it was exceptionally gifted and could distinguish and sense the energy fields of various great formations. Moreover, its flight speed was remarkable. Riding this crane, even without the mountain-climbing formation, one could freely shuttle between Wulipo, Shengrenqiu, and Fugushan. In addition, the weakening formation carefully arranged on the crane's back could negate most of the suppression effect.
However, this only applies within the Crane Back Formation. If the rider steps out of the formation, they will still be subject to the suppression effect. Moreover, the higher the cultivation level, the greater the suppression effect and the backlash. The Cloud-Piercing Crane that Wind Vine Daoist rode was the mount of Wufa Daoist, the sect master of the Heavenly Gate Sect. The entire Heavenly Gate Sect only had three of them!
Without this crane, even if Master Fengteng wanted to visit, it would probably be impossible...
The higher you go, the fiercer the competition between sects becomes. In the end, the competition between sects will all come down to the competition for talent. As long as a sect has a continuous stream of geniuses joining, that sect will surely prosper. Therefore, the three cranes that the Heavenly Gate Sect has spent countless efforts to train are mainly used to win people's hearts!
Because of Leng Rushuang's extraordinary talent, coupled with the Tianmen Sect's sole selection, the Feihua Sect stood out from the Sage Hill and gained the favor of the Tianmen Sect of Fugu Mountain, which even sent Chuanyun Crane. This led to Li Sisui's first meeting with Fengteng Daoren.
The latter was also riding a demonic beast for the first time. Overwhelmed with excitement, he couldn't help but recall his master's prophecy. So he let the Cloud-Piercing Crane soar freely for a while. However, apart from catching Li Sisui, it didn't have any other adventures. Later, due to time constraints, the Cloud-Piercing Crane disobeyed Feng Teng Daoren's orders and returned directly to Tianmen Sect.
It was precisely for this reason that after Li Sisui and Leng Rushuang caused a great disturbance at the Tianmen Sect, they left without a trace and disappeared without a trace. The reputation of the number one sect of Fugu Mountain could not be desecrated by others. Although Daoist Wufa appeared magnanimous on the surface, he was not lenient in private. However, in the end, Li Sisui resolved all his problems one by one. Afterwards, he wandered into the Demon Mountain and disappeared completely.
For the next thirty years, the Tianmen Sect turned Saint Hill upside down. Because they received intelligence from the Wulipo Sect that the two last appeared at the mountain formation, they concluded that the two had silently infiltrated Saint Hill. However, after thirty years and countless resources, they had not gained anything. The two seemed to have vanished into thin air!
In his rage, he naturally couldn't help but vent his anger, which was also called settling scores after the fact. He started by counting the time Li Sisui appeared. Feng Teng Daoren was naturally the first to be targeted. In addition, there was Leng Rushuang from Feihua Sect. Feng Teng Daoren and Qingdai Fairy, this ill-fated couple, were almost destroyed by the rage of Tianmen Sect!
Fortunately, Daoist Wufa remembered that Feihua Sect had done its best during the search and capture period, and in the end, he only sealed Feihua Sect off for three hundred years. During these three hundred years, no member of Feihua Sect was allowed to cross the formation and climb the mountain. If any member of Feihua Sect was found to be on Fugu Mountain, they would be killed without exception!
For cultivators, three hundred years is neither long nor short. But for the sect, this ban was tantamount to closing the ladder for Feihua Sect to advance further. During this period, a large number of disciples were lost and went to other sects. Fengteng Daoist and Qingdai Fairy also had a big fight during this time and eventually parted ways!
But Fairy Qingdai was indeed quite capable. Although she was blacklisted by the Tianmen Sect, she somehow managed to get in touch with the Zhenwu Hall, the number one sect in Saint Hill. After that, she disregarded the bond of dual cultivation and left the Yanyue Sect in a helpless situation, seemingly with no choice but to fend for themselves, until Li Sisui appeared!
After learning the whole story, Li Sisui agreed to Feng Teng Daoren's request without much thought. However, Feng Teng Daoren didn't ask for anything, only that he become a nominal disciple of the Yanyue Sect. Li Sisui also needed a place to stay, and after a deep discussion, the two hit it off immediately!
