The current location of the Flying Flower Sect is exactly one in the south and one in the north of the Hidden Moon Sect, with the True Martial Hall situated right in the middle of the two sects. As the place where the spiritual energy of the Sage Hill is most concentrated, it is only natural that the Flying Flower Sect would relocate here.
The only slightly tricky thing is that, due to the rich spiritual energy, in addition to the sect-protecting array around the True Martial Hall, there are also many scattered remnants of ancient arrays hidden in various corners, making it difficult to fly directly over them...
The only way was to bypass the mountains and proceed along the foot of the mountains. What should have been a journey of less than a week took almost a month because of this detour. However, the Sage Hill is vast and boundless, so it is not unusual for it to take one or two months to travel.
Feng Teng Daoren was fine, but Li Sisui was feeling a bit bored being cooped up in the magic artifact in the Flower Pavilion. He would occasionally step out of the artifact, but the scenery along the way was always the same, as if it had been copied and pasted. All he could see were mountains and dense forests. What was even stranger was that there were very few bird calls or beast roars along the way, and the silence revealed a hint of eeriness!
Looking around, it seemed vibrant and full of spiritual energy, but it was deserted and devoid of birds and beasts. If it weren't for Feng Teng Daoren's indifferent and calm expression, Li Sisui would have even suspected that he had entered a maze.
"Senior brother, how much longer until we arrive? There are so many sects at Saint Hill, but we haven't encountered a single person along the way."
"Although there are many sects in Sage Hill, Sage Hill is too vast, so vast that it is boundless. No matter how many sects there are, they are just scattered decorations. It is normal not to encounter them. It would be a miracle to encounter them..."
"Wulipo prides itself on its boundless expanse, but I never imagined that Sage Hill would also be boundless. This place is truly amazing, vast and rich in resources, with something for everyone, saving us from all the fighting and squabbling. It's not bad at all..."
Feng Teng Daoren seemed to be deep in thought, stroked his beard and sighed:
"According to ancient records, Wulipo is boundless. Countless rebellious cultivators in the past tried to explore it, but all returned empty-handed. However, according to records, Sage Hill has boundaries!"
Li Sisui's face lit up with joy, his curiosity piqued, and he said:
"Does it have boundaries? Is it true or false?"
"Hehe, these are all records from ancient books, their authenticity is unknown. There was once a cultivator with extraordinary talent who obtained a heaven-defying cultivation technique. Although his combat power was questionable, it was a great tool for escaping. Although he couldn't beat others, it was almost impossible for others to catch up with him..."
Later, this person had a sudden inspiration and decided to use this technique to explore the boundaries of Sage Hill. He then began to cultivate diligently. When his cultivation broke through again and his lifespan increased, he randomly chose a direction and began to run wildly towards it!
At first, there were sporadic reports, occasionally transmitted via talismans, but then they disappeared without a trace. Countless years passed. Then, someone found an ancient book in the Sage's Palace, and discovered that it was written by that very cultivator, and even contained his final words!
Li Sisui's eyes flickered, his thoughts racing, and he subconsciously said:
"His dying words?"
"Indeed, the last page of that ancient book was the last writing of that cultivator when he reached the border of Sage Hill and his lifespan was exhausted. He spent his entire life just to tell the world that there are limits to being a sage!"
In the end, Feng Teng Daoren showed respect, and Li Sisui was even more solemn. Although cultivators have long lifespans, they are ultimately finite!
At a time when all cultivators are seeking survival and enlightenment, there is one cultivator who exhausts his entire lifespan to pursue something beyond immortality, using his life experiences to tell everyone what this world is really like!
Although for most cultivators, even if they knew, it might not be of any consequence and would not change their cultivation goals, it would still affect some people. Like a spark, it would eventually gather into a prairie fire!
Li Sisui couldn't help but feel excited. Although this cultivator was still unknown, his hairstyle in the previous world was like Columbus discovering the New World and the Earth being round. It was destined to be recorded in history!
If I have the chance, I really should read it to show my respect!
"Senior brother, I have a question. How did these ancient books from the borders of sainthood end up in the saint's palace?"
Feng Teng Daoist smiled, his face composed, and said:
"You are unaware of this. The Sage's Palace is a mysterious and independent space, appearing and disappearing unpredictably with almost no discernible pattern. The only exception is that it stays in the Sage's Valley for a period of time every hundred years, which is why the so-called Sage Selection takes place!"
"Valley of Saints?"
"Because the Sage's Mansion always appeared there regularly, it gradually got that name. In reality, it's just an unnamed valley..."
Later, people deduced that because of the elusive nature of the Sage's Palace, it might have once appeared at the border of the Sage's realm, which is why this ancient book was fortunate enough to be saved from being buried and allowed to see the light of day again!
Li Sisui nodded thoughtfully. What he said seemed to make some sense. He hadn't expected the Sage's Mansion to have such characteristics, which made him want to explore it further!
Seeing Li Sisui deep in thought, Daoist Fengteng couldn't help but burst into laughter:
"Junior brother, don't think too much about it. This matter is too ancient. Even the identity of this cultivator is hard to verify. As for the contents of the ancient books, whether they are true experiences or just made up, there is no way to verify them. Just take it as a story, hehe..."
The thought that sages have boundaries made him unable to stop his imagination from running wild, and he even wanted to go and see for himself what the boundaries of sages were like.
After all, he is different now than before. With the protagonist's halo and strength by his side, he finally has the confidence to get to the bottom of things!
This is similar to the world before, when faced with the vast and boundless universe, always maintaining a glimmer of fantasy and expectation about the boundaries of the universe, but it was only a fantasy!
Now things are completely different. It's like having a spaceship that can travel at the speed of light. The vast and boundless starry sky is no longer out of reach!
Li Sisui secretly resolved that once he resolved the current matter, he would definitely go and see the boundaries of a sage. Only by doing so could he live up to his protagonist halo. Yes, a protagonist should do things that ordinary people dare not or are unwilling to do. This is the awareness of a protagonist!
Li Sisui, who had transmigrated here, had been trying to integrate into this unfamiliar world of cultivation, but he had never quite grasped it. Although he had the protagonist's halo that ensured his safety, he still lacked a sense of accomplishment. He was like a ship that had lost its direction, drifting with the current and taking things as they came...
It wasn't until this moment that he suddenly realized that perhaps this was the true meaning of the protagonist's halo—the world was so vast, was there any place he couldn't go!
Drink the strongest liquor, woo the coldest girls, wield the fastest sword, and kill those who deserve to be killed. With strong liquor flowing through your intestines, you can experience the joy of revenge and vengeance. This is the right way to be the protagonist!
Just as Li Sisui was experiencing a moment of enlightenment, he heard the untimely voice of Daoist Fengteng, a voice tinged with excitement and a hint of inner turmoil:
"Junior brother, the Flying Flower Sect is just ahead!"
Li Si looked closely and, following the direction pointed out by Feng Teng Daoren, he could indeed vaguely see a dangerous peak covered with flowers. However, the only difference was that there were no trees or forests. The towering peaks were covered with exotic flowers and rare herbs all over the mountains!
This scene truly complements the name of the Flying Flower Sect!
