Since You You has decided to accept the identity of the Celestial Maiden, she must take this seriously. However, as an outsider, her understanding of local customs and professional duties is completely rudimentary. Lin Feng, while possessing some knowledge, is limited to the level of a mortal in this world and doesn't actually understand much about cultivators.
What Youyou urgently needs right now is to understand the power system of this world. Although she has a game system and can use her skills, making self-defense entirely possible, she has no concept of the effects of her skills. For example, the Rejuvenation Technique can plant spiritual roots, while the Fire Prison Flower Rain, a simple attack skill, can flatten an entire grassland—these are things she hadn't anticipated.
She herself wasn't even sure of the power of her spells, so of course she couldn't use them recklessly. Who knew when a skill might have a counterproductive effect, which would be quite embarrassing. This was also why, when dealing with those two fifth-tier demonic beasts attacking the city, she let the little monsters handle it instead of using her skills directly. She was afraid that a single skill might not only take down the two demonic beasts but also conveniently wipe out the entire Shangyang City.
Therefore, she needs to find some cultivation information about this world to fill in the gaps in her severely lacking knowledge.
Unfortunately, the cultivator sent by the Xu family either had a low sect rank or lacked knowledge in this area, and he stammered for a long time without being able to answer a single question. However, he did eventually give her a reliable piece of information.
He said that before each newly emerging celestial maiden establishes a new sect, she will go to Chengtian Pavilion to comprehend the Heavenly Dao, listen to the will of Heaven, and proclaim it to the world.
Chengtian Pavilion is the place where the first celestial maiden appeared in the world, so it can be considered a traditional feature of all celestial maidens in the entire cultivation world.
The Celestial Maiden will stay at Chengtian Pavilion for a month, and those aristocratic families and immortal clans who have not joined the immortal sect will take this opportunity to visit her in hopes of becoming her disciples.
You You understood immediately. Wasn't this just a large-scale fundraising and IPO? She was penniless, possessing only the basic skill of cultivating spiritual roots; she had neither capital nor foundation. Building a company… ugh, building a sect was practically impossible. But with the involvement of powerful immortal families, things were different. They invested, she provided technical support, they partnered, mutually benefited, and co-created a sect—perfect!
Upon hearing this news, Youyou finally felt relieved; she absolutely had to go to Chengtian Pavilion.
So she only stayed in Shangyang City for a few days before setting off again. However, there were simply too many of them; originally a small team of seven, now the Lin family had joined, and she even went to the Yin family with Yin Fan later. There were already dozens of people who had awakened their spiritual roots, so naturally, they couldn't all go together.
Therefore, she only chose Lin Feng, Yin Fan, and Liu Qing to accompany her. Perhaps it was because they were naturally gifted, but they were the most powerful among the dozens of people. After Lin Feng and Yin Fan awakened their spiritual roots, they directly underwent tribulation and reached the Foundation Establishment stage, while Liu Qing reached the Great Perfection of Qi Refining.
The cultivator from the Xu family said that cultivation levels are divided into several stages: Qi Refining, Foundation Establishment, Golden Core, Nascent Soul, and Deity Transformation. After Deity Transformation, one ascends to immortality. Those who directly establish their Foundation upon opening their spiritual roots, like them, are rare even in the cultivation world; they are considered to have top-tier talent.
To show his sincerity, the cultivator from the Xu family offered to lead the way, and even pulled out a flying magical artifact shaped like a wooden boat, intending to take them directly there.
Youyou did not refuse. The group flew for five days before they felt the pure and spiritual aura around them begin to thicken. The flying boat, which had been flying eastward, seemed to break through some kind of barrier, and the scenery in front of them changed instantly.
The once unchanging green hills and clear waters had clearly changed. The mountains, rivers, lakes and seas seemed to have been filtered, making them even more majestic and spectacular. Many unidentified creatures flew by in groups in the sky, and not far away, floating islands floated in the air, with snow-white waterfalls cascading down from them.
You You was somewhat stunned, and looked at the person next to her and asked, "Cultivator Xu, is this Chengtian Pavilion?"
The person operating the flying boat trembled, looking like they were about to cry, and weakly mumbled, "My surname is Jin..." How many times have I said it? Just because I was brought over by the Xu family doesn't mean I should be surnamed Xu. "Reporting to the Heavenly Maiden, this is indeed the territory of Chengtian Pavilion, but it's still quite a distance from the main hall of Chengtian Pavilion. It will be soon!"
"Oh, oh!" You nodded, curiously watching the scenes before him that resembled a game, and patted someone on the shoulder encouragingly, "No rush, Cultivator Xu, thank you, Cultivator Xu, thank you for leading the way!"
"..." My surname is Jin!
(?_?)
The other party was right. They continued flying for less than a quarter of an hour, and a huge floating peak appeared before them. The peak was hidden in layers of auspicious clouds, and on it was a large area of magnificent palaces and pavilions. The surrounding area was shrouded in white mist, just like a fairyland.
“Your Majesty, a few days ago, I sent the news of the Heavenly Maiden’s appearance back to the sect. The sect should have already notified Chengtian Hall. We can go directly to the main hall!” The golden cultivator pointed in the direction of Chengtian Pavilion and reminded them.
You nodded, and the next moment the group boarded the spaceship and flew directly towards the largest palace in the middle of the floating peak. Sure enough, they could see a group of people waiting in front of the palace from afar. They stood in two rows, and there were about a dozen people in total.
As soon as the group stepped down, the dozen or so people bowed and saluted in her direction, shouting in unison, "Welcome, Heavenly Maiden!"
"Hello!" Youyou replied reflexively.
The man in blue robes standing at the front paused for a moment, a flicker of something crossing his face. He then stepped forward, looked at You You in the middle, and said in a deep voice, "Your Majesty, you have had a long journey. I am Ling Qi, the priest of Chengtian Pavilion, and I have come to welcome you into the palace."
"Oh, thank you for your help," she replied politely. She wasn't sure if it was just her imagination, but it seemed that after she said that, the dozen or so people who were there to greet her all frowned.
The man named Ling Qi, however, remained composed, polite and courteous. He looked quite young, much younger than Lin Feng and the others, and was surrounded by a layer of spiritual energy, much denser than that around them. However, the connection between that spiritual energy and him was not very strong, as if something was separating them, preventing it from fully integrating into his body.
Just as she was curious and wanted to take a closer look, the other party stepped aside and said, "Please come with me to the Blessing Palace to rest for a while. Please forgive me, Your Highness, you came in a hurry. The steward of the pavilion has not yet finished preparing your accommodation. Please wait a moment."
"It's alright." You You didn't mind, nodded, and followed, entering the main hall ahead. Once inside, she found many people already dressed in matching white robes with auspicious cloud patterns, standing in two rows. Upon seeing her, they merely bowed slightly in greeting. Several even secretly glanced at her with strange looks, seemingly carrying a hint of—impatience?
There's an inexplicable feeling that I'm not very popular.
