In the Wuliang Mountains, on the southern foot of Canglan Mountain, four flag gates in the southeast, northwest, northeast and southwest are quietly suspended in the sky above a valley that stretches for more than 3,000 miles. The four archways, made of platinum and inlaid with countless sparkling gems, are suspended in the clouds under the flag gates, emitting a dazzling light to warn all directions.

These four memorial archways that emit powerful magical fluctuations and the unusually agile flag gates that appear and disappear from time to time all indicate that this valley already has an owner. If you don't want to get into trouble, it's best to take a detour.

This is the unique law of survival in the Wuliang Mountains. Just like some wild beasts running around the mountain and sprinkling a little urine on the edge of their territory to warn the surrounding wild beasts not to invade easily, the independent cultivators or sects in the Wuliang Mountains will always use various means to declare their existence on the edge of their territory.

Just like the four platinum archways refined by Chu Tian, ​​the aura fluctuations they exude are between the peak of the Sky-Breaking Realm and faintly reaching the edge of a calamity. This proves that the owner of this valley is a cultivator on the verge of transcending the tribulation and ascending to heaven.

It is best not to provoke those who are not as strong as you, no matter they are human or monster, mountain spirit or water ghost.

When Chu Tian first came to Canglan Mountain, he didn't know this rule. He opened up a cave here, but within just three or five days, dozens of groups of wild cultivators who didn't know their place came to harass him. After being punished by Chu Tian, ​​these wild cultivators told him the rules here. Chu Tian then casually refined four archways and used the Star Lord flags to set up a star formation and hang them on all sides of the valley. In this way, he really got peace.

As for those dozens of wild monks...

Chu Tian rudely imprisoned all the coolies who came to his door and forced them to be his disciples.

For the past few months, these guys have been clearing the forests everywhere, and according to Chu Tian's aesthetic taste, they have arranged the forests little by little into what Chu Tian wants. At the same time, they have planted the seeds of various exotic flowers and rare medicinal herbs that Chu Tian gave them.

There are dozens of groups of independent cultivators, with a total of more than 500 people. The strongest one is only at the peak of the Life-Establishing Realm. They are of no great use, but they can still be used to do these chores and build some small buildings such as pavilions and towers.

Thanks to the hard work of these casual cultivators, in just a few months, the valley occupied by Chu Tian has been tidied up and clean. Stone paths meander back and forth, colorful carp can be faintly seen jumping in the valley, exotic flowers bloom everywhere, and bunches of exotic orchids exude fragrance. The aroma lingers in the three thousand miles of valley, like a fairyland.

Over the past few months, in addition to his daily practice, Chu Tian also began to try to interact with his neighbors.

With the inheritance of Qiqiao Heavenly Palace, Chu Tian is proficient in many miscellaneous studies. Here, he uses the alias "Eight Trigrams True Man" and is a casual cultivator who is proficient in various Qimen Dunjia, formations and talismans. He uses the wonderful talismans as a stepping stone, and he has made the acquaintance of a group of casual cultivators, and even established relationships with the top leaders of two small sects.

On this day, Chu Tianzheng set up a banquet and had a feast with several neighboring cultivators who came to visit him.

Within ten thousand miles around Chu Tian's valley, there is a casual cultivator who is good at alchemy named "Huang Ye Weng", a casual cultivator who is good at taming beasts named "Bai Zhuozi", and a female cultivator who is proficient in music named "Lan Lengyan". These three casual cultivators, except for Chu Tian, ​​are the three strongest casual cultivators within ten thousand miles, and they all have the strength to reach the peak of the Sky-breaking Realm.

These three are great monks who can transcend tribulations and ascend to heaven at any time and be led to the Ascension Pool in Heaven.

However, they also knew the details of the Heavenly Palace Ascension Pool, and knew that the cleansing in the Ascension Pool was divided into many grades, high, medium and low. This was related to their future cultivation speed in Heaven and their future careers.

Therefore, the three of them tried their best to suppress their cultivation and accumulate wealth, so that after being led to the Ascension Pool, they could bribe the Heavenly Court officials in the Ascension Pool and temper themselves into high-level divine bodies as much as possible.

Holding a jade wine glass, the white-haired Huang Ye Weng sighed towards Chu Tian and said, "It's not easy to live in the Heavenly Court. It's not just the grade of the divine body achievement, but also the grade of the first cultivation book we get. This will determine our future development in the Heavenly Court for trillions of years."

Bai Zhuzi smiled bitterly and said, "What the old man said is true. If you can't get a high-level divine body and a high-level cultivation code, hey, the 108th rank of official, this... this... one level at a time..."

Bai Zhuzi grinned and shook his head, then picked up the wine cup and drank it all in one gulp.

Lan Lengyan, who was born with a pretty face and dressed in simple and elegant clothes, looked at Chu Tian curiously, her sparkling eyes full of curiosity: "It is true that Master Bagua, you are good at formations and prohibitions, as well as various strange techniques. You will have a very good future in the future when you go to heaven. It's really strange. With what you are good at, you should have a legacy. Why did you become a casual cultivator?"

In the Heavenly Palace, independent cultivators are the most miserable, with no one to rely on. Even if they are lucky enough to succeed in their cultivation and enter the Heavenly Palace, they still have to start as the lowest-level clerk. Perhaps trillions of years later, they will still be just a small clerk at the bottom level, an ant that can be crushed to death by a finger at any time.

It’s different for those sects with a heritage. Generation after generation of masters and predecessors take care of them in heaven. Both the welfare and the speed of promotion are incomparable to those of the independent cultivators.

Lan Lengyen was really curious. With the skills Chu Tian had demonstrated, how could he be just a casual cultivator?

Chu Tian smiled indifferently, shook his head gently, and acted as if the past was too painful to recall and he didn't want to mention it again.

He couldn't possibly tell these neighbors that one of his clones had successfully surpassed the rank of 108th-grade clerk in the Heavenly Court, and directly became a priest with a proper job in the Heavenly Court, right?

The problem is, the strength of his clone... is only at the peak of the Life Realm!

"Haha, drink, drink, don't mention these annoying things." Chu Tian picked up the wine glass and sighed: "In short, drink today, who cares about drinking cold water tomorrow? No one can predict what will happen in this world. You and I are living happily here now, who knows..."

Chu Tian's pupils suddenly condensed, and he wanted to slap himself twice. This crow's mouth was really...

Their banquet was set up on a cliff. Two ancient pines covered them like two huge canopies. Looking around, the scenery of thousands of miles in radius was vividly visible. The view was broad and the scenery was pleasant.

As soon as Chu Tian said those words, thirty-six black spheres suddenly appeared in the sky and slowly descended downwards.

Suddenly, countless human figures flew out of these black spheres with a diameter of more than 100,000 miles. The densely packed human figures flew out of the spheres like a swarm of crazy wasps. In just a stick of incense, only those black human figures could be seen in the sky.

"This is..." Chu Tian swallowed.

"The Mingjiao clan! What are they doing here? This is, this is the territory of Heaven!" Huang Ye Weng was the most knowledgeable, his face suddenly changed horribly: "The Mingjiao clan has a very good relationship with Heaven, war is impossible, then what are they doing here?"
