Bottom of the Nine Peaks
Tian Gu's face froze a little when he heard that. His expression turned a little ugly as he coldly snorted, "I can cooperate with your Dragon Wasteland, but you must do your best to help me recover."
"Of course. If another Heavenly Saint level expert can appear in our Dragon Wasteland, we will be able to suppress the other eight great Netherworld factions. Our Dragon Wasteland will naturally cooperate with you. However, for the sake of restraining both of us and not breaking the contract, we still need to sign a contract."
The hall master smiled faintly. With a flick of his finger, he took out an ancient scroll. There were many symbols floating on the surface of the scroll.
He opened the scroll and slid his finger across his thumb. A drop of blood appeared on his thumb, and he pressed his thumb into the scroll. After doing all that, he tossed the scroll to Tian Gu and said indifferently, "This is a contract scroll. With this layer of protection, there will be no mistakes in our cooperation."
Tian Gu narrowed his eyes. However, when he saw the chilliness in the hall master's eyes, he knew that the latter had no other choice. Hence, he followed suit and dripped his blood onto the scroll. After which, he tossed it to the hall master.
"Haha!
I hope that our cooperation will go smoothly. In the future, you will be the tenth Azure Dragon Envoy of the Blue Dragon Hall. Do not reveal your identity as Tian Gu so easily. "The hall master laughed out loud. He was quite satisfied with Tian Gu's actions.
"Alright, since the contract has been signed, I will take my leave first. Also, send someone to arrange a place for me to stay. At the same time, I need flesh and blood energy to recover …" Tian Gu said with an evil smile.
The hall master smiled faintly. "I naturally know that. I will order someone to arrange a place for you to stay. As for your recovery, I have my own plans. Don't worry."
"Since that is the case, that would be for the best."
Tian Gu nodded. Soon after, he ignored the hall master and left the hall.
Watching the figure gradually disappear into the distance, the originally silent Qing Longzi suddenly said in a deep voice, "Hall master, this Tian Gu is not easy to control. Cooperating with it is no different from asking a tiger for its skin."
The hall master shook his head. "You don't know much about Tian Gu. This thing is extremely terrifying. Even if it is only a clone, it is difficult for us to control it. If you plan to control this Tian Gu, I'm afraid that you will be disappointed in the end. All we need to do is cooperate with it."
…
Within the Divine Nether Realm, Moyan and Bai Yan led Zhuowen's group into the inner courtyard.
"What a huge mountain!"
When everyone arrived at the foot of the mountain in the Inner Courtyard, only then did they discover how enormous the mountain peak that stood in the Endless Mountain Range was. They stood at the foot of the mountain and raised their heads to look at the mountain peak, but they actually discovered that they were completely unable to see the end of the mountain peak.
The nine mountain peaks were arranged in a ring shape, and each mountain peak was separated by a distance of a thousand miles. Above the mountain peaks, there was a white mist lingering around.
Zhuowen and the others were even able to see that there were numerous figures moving about on the mountain paths at the waist of every mountain. They were probably the inner court disciples that were moving about on the mountain paths.
At the center of the nine mountain peaks was an enormous circular empty space that spanned thousands of miles. There were countless buildings on the empty space. There were unique pavilions, elegant tiled houses, quiet bamboo buildings, simple wooden houses and various other buildings scattered across the empty space in a picturesque manner.
"That is?" Buddhist Zhuowen pointed at the buildings on the empty space in the middle of the nine mountain peaks and asked in a somewhat astonished manner.
"That is the heart of the nine mountain peaks. It is the gathering place of the official disciples and nominal disciples of the Inner Courtyard." Moyan and Bai Yan explained.
"Zhuowen, there are not only nominal disciples and official disciples in the Inner Courtyard. Above these two types of disciples, there are also core disciples and direct disciples. Only core disciples and direct disciples can enter the nine mountain peaks."
"The position of direct disciples is much higher than the core disciples. They can receive personal guidance from the peak master of each mountain peak. Of course, their strength and talent are naturally one in a million."
Moyan Wushang, who was standing beside Zhuowen, suddenly opened his mouth to explain. After all, she was the granddaughter of Moyan and Bai Yan. Although she had never entered the Inner Courtyard before, Moyan and Bai Yan had told her about the matters of the Inner Courtyard. Therefore, she knew more about the Inner Courtyard than a layman like Zhuowen.
"Oh?
There are actually core disciples and direct disciples above the official disciples? "
Zhuowen frowned slightly. He was rather astonished. Soon after, he asked: "Then how do I advance to become a core disciple?"
"If you want to advance to become a core disciple, you naturally have to choose from among the official disciples. Only when your talent and strength are recognized can you become a core disciple and enter the corresponding mountain peak."
Moyan and Bai Yan smiled and explained: "Zhuowen, although you have already been accepted as a nominal disciple by the Sky Capital Peak, this nominal disciple does not have a fixed mountain peak. Only after you become a core disciple will you have the right to choose the corresponding mountain peak to cultivate."
"The nine mountain peaks each have their own characteristics. Although the Sky Capital Peak is the strongest among the nine mountain peaks, it is not necessarily the most suitable. When you enter the Inner Courtyard, you can learn more about the nine mountain peaks and choose the most suitable mountain peak for you to cultivate."
Moyan and Bai Yan naturally knew how strong Zhuowen was. With Zhuowen's strength, it was inevitable for him to become a core disciple. They even believed that Zhuowen could be promoted to a direct disciple in a short period of time.
After all, at Zhuowen's age and cultivation, it was rare for him to possess a strength comparable to a Seventh Level Emperor. Even in the Inner Courtyard, it was rare.
"Dean, aren't you going to see the old man of the Sky Capital Peak?
Although we are not core disciples, we should be qualified to enter the Sky Capital Peak with you, right? "Zhuowen looked at Moyan and Bai Yan and said somewhat excitedly.
Looking at Zhuowen's appearance, how could Moyan and Bai Yan not know what this brat was thinking? He probably wanted to see Mu Chenxue as soon as possible.
Moyan and Bai Yan smiled and said: "I will naturally bring you to the Sky Capital Peak. However, I can only bring two people. If there are too many people, it will be inconvenient."
Hearing this, Zhuowen nodded. His gaze fell on the people behind him and said: "Dean, can they also join the Inner Courtyard and become nominal disciples?"
"With my recommendation, it will naturally not be difficult to become a nominal disciple of the Inner Courtyard. Moreover, many of your friends are Emperor Realm cultivators. Even if they become official disciples, the Inner Courtyard will be very welcoming. However, are your friends willing to join the Inner Courtyard?"
As Moyan and Bai Yan spoke, their gazes fell on Lü Hantian, Lord of Tai Mo, Lv Yitao, Luo Xing and Qing Lian. These five people came with Zhuowen. Although Zhuowen planned to join the Inner Courtyard, these five people's thoughts might not necessarily be the same as Zhuowen's.
"Big Brother Hantian, Tai Mo, Brother Lv, Luo Xing and Qing Lian, do you all plan to join the Inner Courtyard?" Zhuowen asked the five people.
Lü Hantian shook his head and smiled: "Zhuowen, the Inner Courtyard is not suitable for me. After all, I like to be free and unfettered. You can join the Inner Courtyard first. I plan to walk around the Divine Specter Realm. Who knows, I might have a fortuitous encounter. Haha."
On the other hand, Lv Yitao, Qing Lian and Luo Xing looked at each other and stood beside Lü Hantian. Lv Yitao said: "Zhuowen, I plan to cultivate with uncle."
As for Qing Lian and Luo Xing, they stared at Zhuowen with complicated eyes. They naturally knew that Zhuowen had come to the Divine Specter Realm's Inner Courtyard with great difficulty mainly for one person. Moreover, it was a woman. This woman's name was Mu Chenxue.
They did not want to disturb Zhuowen and Mu Chenxue, so they planned to take the initiative to avoid that scene. They also chose not to join the Inner Courtyard.
Grand Demon Lord shook his head. The inner court wasn't suitable for a demonic cultivator like him, so he naturally couldn't join the inner court. That would only delay his progress.
"Since that's the case, I won't force you. I hope that Big Brother Hantian and you can take a good look around the Divine Specter Realm. When the time comes, you can come to the Inner Courtyard to visit me often.
Although he was slightly disappointed by Lü Hantian and the others' tactful rejection, Zhuowen naturally would not force them. Everyone had their own choices.
"Definitely!"
Zhuowen, we do not plan to join the Inner Courtyard, so we naturally cannot stay here for long. We will leave first, and when the time comes, if you need us for anything, just use the Communication jade Symbol paper to contact us, and we will naturally come to meet you.
"Lü Hantian looked deeply at Zhuowen, took a few steps forward, and heavily patted Zhuowen's shoulder with both hands, and said in a deep voice.
"Definitely!" Zhuowen also replied cautiously.
After Lv Yitao, Luo Xing, and Qing Lian bid farewell to Zhuowen, the four of them directly left the Inner Courtyard.
As for the Lord of the Inner Courtyard, he did not leave. He came to Zhuowen's side and said in a low voice, "Master, in the Nine Netherworld Realm, the most suitable place for Devil Cultivators is the Desolate Nether Realm. This old servant will wait for you to resolve this matter, and then I plan to go to the Desolate Nether Realm with your Devil Dao clone to cultivate."
Zhuowen nodded. When he first entered the Nine Netherworld Realm, he had already discussed the matter of going to the Desolate Nether Realm with the Lord of the Inner Courtyard. However, Zhuowen planned to first come to the Inner Courtyard to deal with the cold poison in Mu Chenxue's body, and then let the Devil Dao clone leave.
After all, the Devil Dao clone was the strongest clone besides the main body. It was many times stronger than the Buddha Dao clone, so bringing it along with him would naturally be an additional layer of protection.
"Wushang, Qing Yin, and Zhuowen are already nominal disciples. You can enter the bottom of the Nine Peaks and choose a residence. As for Jia Nan, Gatha, and Mo Lingtian, you three haven't registered your identities yet. Follow me to the bottom of the Nine Peaks to register first."
Moyan Bai Yan waved his sleeve and led Zhuowen and the others to the bottom of the Nine Peaks.
The bottom of the Nine Peaks was indeed very large. Zhuowen estimated that the open space should be more than half the size of Excellent Spirit Island.
The entrance of Moyan Bai Yan and the others naturally attracted the attention of many people in the open space. However, when they felt the aura of the Intermediate Emperor Realm from Moyan Wushang, many people showed fear and respect in their eyes.
