Except Tianshi Peak.

The names of the other four peaks were named after the strongest fellow disciples of the same period as Xu Tianshi, and the disciples of each peak inherited the Taoist tradition they left behind.

Master Xu Tianshi's name is Xu Wen'an.

The ancestor of the Tianlan Peak lineage where Liao Jiulong is located is called Xu Wenlan, the third junior brother of Xu Tianshi, and is usually called the Third Ancestor.

The current master of Tianlan Peak is called Chi Jinshou, and he is the 54th generation disciple of Xu Wenlan's lineage.

In this world, Longhu Mountain was originally a small and unknown sect.

But when it came to Xu Tianshi's generation, Xu Wen'an had some kind of luck, but when he was traveling, he found some relics left behind by some unknown big shot, and his aptitude for cultivation was incredible.

It took less than thirty years for him to ascend to become an immortal.

And his five fellow disciples ascended to heaven one after another after him.

Xu Wen'an was a man of great luck. Relying on his powerful fighting ability, he made several contributions to the Heavenly Court and was canonized as Heavenly Master by the Emperor of Heaven.

As a result, the five brothers formed a huge force in the Heavenly Palace with Master Xu as the center, and were hailed as the strongest generation in Longhu Mountain.

From then on, Longhu Mountain prospered rapidly.

This is also the reason why Longhu Mountain has the confidence to not care about the change of dynasties in the Crescent Moon Kingdom.

There are four great heavenly masters in heaven. With Master Xu's status, he doesn't need to care about the face of an emperor of a secular kingdom.

and.

There are many countries in the Eastern Divine Land, and the Crescent Kingdom is not a big one. Most of the time, the Crescent Kingdom is even proud of having Mount Longhu within its territory, and in turn borrows the fame of Master Xu Tianshi.

…

Naturally, this information did not come from Liao Jiulong.

Instead, Du Ge took advantage of the time when Liao Jiulong was reporting to his master and randomly found an outer disciple to find out the information from him.

Duger is a real Jindan cultivator. Even if Liao Jiulong had ten times the courage, he would not dare to bring him to his master for examination, otherwise he would be exposed on the spot. Therefore, Liao Jiulong could only place him in his own yard first and make plans later.

The appearance of a child is too deceptive. The outer disciples in charge of chores only thought that Duger was a new disciple brought back by Liao Jiulong from outside, so they naturally had no guard against him.

…

Tianlan Peak is divided into outer courtyard and inner courtyard.

There are more than two hundred disciples in the outer courtyard.

In addition to their usual practice, they also have to take care of miscellaneous tasks at Tianlan Peak.

Every once in a while, outer disciples will undergo an assessment. Those with excellent cultivation talents will be eligible to be promoted to inner disciples and become disciples of the second generation disciples.

There are currently more than twenty second-generation disciples at Tianlan Peak.

Liao Jiulong is ranked fifteenth. His aptitude is not outstanding and he has only two direct disciples, Du Ziming and Liu Ziyun.

Most of the twenty-odd second-generation disciples of Tianlan Peak have reached the Golden Core stage.

The eldest senior brother, the second senior sister and the seventh senior brother have the best talents and have already reached the Nascent Soul stage. They usually assist the peak master Chi Jinshou in managing the affairs of Tianlan Peak.

The peak master Chi Jinshou has already reached the Hedao stage. His fellow disciples of the same stage basically do not take care of the sect's affairs, unless their cultivation level cannot keep up. Most of those at the same level as him are in seclusion practicing or traveling, preparing for their ascension.

These super masters rarely show up in public unless on important occasions.

Peak Master Chi Jinshou also spends most of his time in seclusion, but only came out to preside over some affairs when the evil incident became a big deal this time.

so.

Most of the people in charge of the Dragon and Tiger Sect are disciples with Nascent Soul and Golden Core cultivation levels.

In fact, the situation in each cultivation sect is similar. Once one enters the realm of refining the void and merging with the Tao, he will be automatically promoted to the elder of the sect and will do nothing else except practicing.

However, other sects do not have the good fortune of Longhu Mountain. Usually, it is already remarkable for a sect to have one person who has cultivated to the Hedao realm.

In the Crescent Moon Kingdom, Longhu Mountain can be said to be the only dominant one.

…

After figuring out the basic personnel composition and cultivation level of Longhu Mountain, Duger put his mind at ease for the time being.

It would be good if people with higher realms don't come out to take charge. With some Nascent Soul Golden Pills left, it should be much easier to fool people.

After all, whether a person is wise or not is related to experience and training. How can one have any social experience if he closes himself in the door every day to cultivate immortality? Even if these cultivators have experience in the human world, they can't compare to him, an old fox who has been tempered by the intrigues of the alien battlefield? Anyway, he feels that Liao Jiulong and his friends are easy to fool...

Like alien warriors, practitioners also have range perception.

so.

Longhu Mountain took the same defensive measures as the capital of Crescent Kingdom. Here, Duger's perception was suppressed to the same level as that of ordinary people.

This made Doug, who was used to being omniscient and omnipotent under the coverage of perception and then processing big data to obtain the most beneficial information for himself, quite uncomfortable.

But when he thought that everyone was the same, Doug felt relieved. Alien warriors never complained about any harsh environment.

…

After reporting the trip to his master, Liao Jiulong hurried back to his residence with his two disciples. Seeing that Duger was still there, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Why are you panicking?" Du Ge glanced at Liao Jiulong and said, "You are already a second-generation disciple. Who would care about a child you brought back? What did your master say about Prince Duan's matter?"

"Master said that I don't need to worry about this matter. Senior Brother will take over from me." Liao Jiulong was restless. "Senior, those children in Lincheng have seen us. Although I concealed your information in this report, as long as Senior Brother finds those children, we will be exposed. Do we really have to stay in Longhu Mountain?"

This is the aftermath of being soft-hearted.

If Du Ge had killed all the people in Longliu Villa and then killed Niu Sanbao and others in Fancheng, no one would be able to find out that the affairs of Prince Duan were related to him.

Keeping those children, it can be said that Doug is now full of flaws, and he has put himself in an extremely dangerous situation...

But if Doug were given another chance, he probably still wouldn't harm those children.

Since we can't be ruthless and eradicate the problem, then we have to find a way to deal with it...

"Are you scared?" Doug looked at Liao Jiulong with a mischievous smile on his lips.

"I'm a little worried." Liao Jiulong said with a bitter face.

"Xiao Liao, you did a good job. At least you didn't sell me out just now and you got yourself out of this matter." Doug looked at Liao Jiulong approvingly and said.

"..." Liao Jiulong was speechless.

What's more.

I don’t know whether the story about the demon is true or not.

If it was true, this immortal fellow who was as famous as Daozu would come back to seek revenge on him, and his small body would not be able to stop him at all! Moreover, what Duger had said to him was always lingering in his mind. His aptitude was not high, and even if he was lucky enough to ascend to heaven, he would probably be just a small fairy who could be driven by others.

The ending that he originally thought was good suddenly seemed insignificant compared to the promise Dugash made to him.

Fortunes are sought in danger, and opportunities must be grasped in one's own hands...

Although he realized that he was very likely bewitched, Liao Jiulong really wanted to take a gamble.

So, after much deliberation, he finally decided that cooperating with Tianmo would be in his best interest.

Liao Jiulong even felt a little sad. Perhaps from the moment he was caught by the devil, his fate was no longer in his control.

…

Doug looked around at the three of them and said slowly, "I left that flaw on purpose."

"Why?" Liao Jiulong looked surprised.

"Did those kids do anything wrong?" Doug asked.

"Of course they are innocent." Liao Jiulong said.

"Yes, they are innocent. So, if I kill them to save myself, even if I am an evil demon, everyone will feel at ease when dealing with me."

Doug smiled, "But I saved them. I am a good person who punishes evil and promotes good. It is a great merit. You said that if the eldest brother finds out the truth and wants to get rid of me, what excuse should he use? Wouldn't that just leave the problem to them?"

"..." Liao Jiulong was stunned. What merits do you want as a demon? "Demons!" Liu Ziyun said, "They can use the name of demons to deal with you. After all, demons can be killed by anyone."

“You have to kill me before you can convict me.” Doug smiled and shook his head. “If you can’t kill me, you can’t label me as a demon. As long as I’m alive, as long as those kids are alive, if the eldest brother or Longhu Mountain attacks me, then if this gets out, Longhu Mountain’s reputation will probably be ruined.”

"What if someone killed those children?" Du Ziming asked.

"Who will kill him?" Doug asked back, "Except for a demon like me, which cultivator would be willing to be contaminated by such karma? Would the eldest brother dare? Does he not plan to ascend?"

“……”Liu Ziyun shook his head in confusion.

"Where is the Crescent Moon Kingdom!" Du Ziming said.

"If the people of New Moon Country kill them, there will be no evidence. Then what are you worried about? If the people of New Moon Country really kill those innocent children without asking any questions, it will prove that this world has no reason to exist."

Doug glanced at them and said calmly, "This is a wonderful game. Those kids are the chess pieces I left behind. Whoever moves will lose!"

Liao Jiulong trembled violently and subconsciously held his breath.

He suddenly remembered the game that tested human nature that night.

He once thought that it was just a prank by Doug against the three of them, but he didn't expect that the devil was really setting traps for the world all the time...

but.

After Doug explained to them the purpose of leaving those children behind, Liao Jiulong's anxious heart calmed down. He breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "Senior, how can we cooperate with you?"

"You don't need to cooperate. Just tell me the hiding place of the Longhu Mountain's martial arts and the cultivation level of the people active in Longhu Mountain. I will take care of the rest." After comforting Liao Jiulong and others, Duger said with a smile.

"Senior, if you only want to get the complete Nine Revolutions of the Universe, that technique is in the master's cave." Liao Jiulong said, "But the master is at the Hedao stage. With your current realm, I'm afraid you won't be able to get the technique from his cave."

"Since you've come to Mount Longhu, how can a mere copy of 'Nine Revolutions of the Universe' satisfy my appetite?" Doug looked at him with a smile, "If you want to take anything, you must take all the skills. Don't worry, I'm not a stingy person. Everything I've learned is yours..."

"The Sutra Library." Liao Jiulong took a deep breath, with a look of desperation, "The Sutra Library behind the main hall of the Heavenly Master contains all the cultivation techniques of the Dragon and Tiger Sect.

When the disciples of Wufeng reach a certain level of cultivation, they will choose a magical power or a technique that suits them to assist in their cultivation. It is said that the "Chaos Wuji Gong" that the founder practiced was originally in the Sutra Pavilion..."

Sutra Repository?

Doug subconsciously looked in the direction of Tianshi Peak and asked, "How is the protection there?"

"The Sutra Library is usually guarded by Elder Daoming. He is at the peak of the Hedao realm, but because he injured his foundation during his practice, he was unable to ascend. So he stayed at the Dragon Tiger Gate and became the Supreme Elder. No one knows how long he has lived. Occasionally, Master Xu Tian would send someone to deliver elixirs, and one of them would definitely be for Elder Daoming."

Liao Jiulong said, "It is said that Elder Daoming has mastered many Taoist magics, and he also has the magic weapon Black Turtle Pearl given by the Heavenly Master. It can be said that he is the true guardian of Longhu Mountain. If you are not sure, it is better not to go to the Sutra Library..."

Sweeping monk?

Douge pondered for a moment and asked, "Are there many magic weapons in Longhu Mountain?"

"The most powerful magic weapon is the Tiangang Sword passed down from generation to generation by the head of the sect, and then there are the mountain-guarding swords in the hands of the masters of each peak."

After Liao Jiulong realized that he and Du Ge were bound together, he no longer had any concerns and answered whatever was asked. "The Tiangang Sword and the mountain-guarding swords of each peak are all magic weapons passed down by the Heavenly Master. Once Longhu Mountain encounters a strong enemy, the five swords will form a set of the strongest formations that can kill true immortals."

"Anything else?" Doug asked calmly.

"Apart from these, there are some spiritual treasures refined in Longhu Mountain. They are of similar grade to flying swords. I'm afraid they are not worthy of your attention." Liao Jiulong shook his head and said.

"What is the master's cultivation level?" Doug asked.

"Like Master, he is at the Hedao realm." Liao Jiulong said, "The headmaster and the peak masters have to take care of the sect's affairs for a long time, so their cultivation is not top-notch."

"Okay, I understand." Doug nodded, glanced at the still bright sky outside, and said to Liao Jiulong and the other two, "Ziming, Ziyun, you two should practice on your own, and don't let others get suspicious. Fellow Daoist Liao, tell me more about the famous people in each peak..."

Liu Ziyun and the other man responded and turned to leave.

Liao Jiulong sat down and told Douge in detail what he knew about the situations of each peak.

The lecture lasted until the evening.

So far.

Only then did Du Ge have a real and detailed understanding of Longhu Mountain. Master Xu Tianshi's Taoist lineage could truly be considered a great and powerful family.

There is no telling how many elders are hiding in the Hedao stage alone. Not only the previous generation, but also the generation before that. Those who are not sure of their ability to ascend will basically choose to go into seclusion for a long time.

Compared with the cultivation in the Hedao period, the cultivation in the Yuanying realm is actually a minority. The total number of Yuanying cultivators in all the peaks does not exceed one hundred, and many cultivators with Yuanying cultivation are still traveling outside.

The largest number of people are Qi Refiners and those outer disciples who are either not yet in the process of cultivation, or low-level Qi Refiners who have just started...

all in all.

If you want to obtain the cultivation techniques in Longhu Mountain, the risks are actually very high.
