Chương 58: Chapter 88 : Disciple greets Master

Great Yu had twenty-two prefectures. A hundred years ago, it had lost the three Western Region prefectures. Now, after recovering them, it had returned to the peak territory of its map, reaching the Northern Sea Snowfield in the north, bordering the sea in the east and south, and facing the wilderness in the west. In May, a strange flying shuttle sped through the sky above the vast snowfield.

On the flying shuttle, more than a hundred youths from Great Yu were all staring curiously at the snowy scenery outside the shuttle, and Jiang wenchen was no exception.

"Immortal, what treasure is this? It can actually carry so many of us flying in the sky!?" A youth was shocked and could not help asking. At the front of the flying shuttle, Li Heshan stood with his hands behind his back and said with a smile, "This is one of the only two flying magic artifacts our Cloud Perching Valley possesses. It is called the Sky-Piercing Shuttle."

"Then is this treasure very expensive?" A little fellow with a tigerish head and tigerish brain looked up and asked. Li Heshan smiled faintly.

"It could roughly buy the entire Yu Kingdom."

"After all of you become disciples of the immortal sect, you will discover that worldly wealth has no way of measuring the treasures of immortal families." Perhaps because he was in a good mood, or perhaps because he felt that these people before him would all become his junior brothers and sisters in the future, Li Heshan answered every question. His words made all the children open their mouths in astonishment.

"Immortal, where are we going?" Someone noticed that the flying shuttle had been flying above the vast snowfield the entire time, and that nothing else could be seen around them anymore, so he asked with some worry. This book's true home is on another platform. Check it out there for the real experience.

"You will know in a moment." Li Heshan looked ahead and reminded them, "All of you, sit steady." The children did not understand why, but they all obediently steadied themselves. A moment later, the flying shuttle suddenly gave off a slight tremor. Immediately afterward, the scenery around them abruptly changed! The vast snowfield had disappeared. Replacing it was a boundless land, with ancient trees towering into the sky and mountain peaks standing tall!

In the distance, mountains and rivers alternated, stretching endlessly. Rosy clouds reflected the sun, shining brilliantly. The sky above their heads was clearly purer than that of Great Yu, and the surrounding mountain peaks were even more majestic. The flying shuttle dived downward, flying straight toward a mountain hollow among the distant mountains. At this moment, everyone on the flying shuttle finally saw the destination of their journey— Cloud Perching Valley.

Amid the surrounding mountains, clouds and mist condensed into a light veil. Seventy-two steps, seemingly built from white jade, extended out from within the swirling clouds. The flying shuttle swept past, stirring the mist, then slowly stopped on a broad terrace. Everyone jumped down from the flying shuttle one after another and looked around. Rosy clouds spread above their heads, and morning light shone down, dyeing the layers of green peaks gold. Ancient trees grew freely in the valley.

Between their branches, threads of mist like silver silk hung down, and elegant, antique buildings appeared and disappeared among the ancient trees. A stream flowed gently from a distant mountain peak. Wherever it passed, mist rose from the cracks between the stones. Around it, flowering trees bloomed in competition with one another, with no regard for the four seasons. While everyone was stunned, a group of more than ten people slowly descended from the white jade steps ahead.

Seeing this, Li Heshan and Zhongli Qing hurriedly went forward and cupped their hands in salute toward the white-bearded old man at the front.

"Disciple greets Master."

"Greetings, Martial Uncles." The old man nodded, then looked at Jiang wenchen and the other hundred-plus children with some surprise.

"There are actually this many immortal seedlings with spiritual roots in the Yang Marsh Land?" Li Heshan nodded slightly and cupped his hands with a smile on his face.

"Disciple was also somewhat surprised. I originally thought this trip would not yield much."

"It is probably also because the screening requirements were somewhat lowered."

"Master, Disciple plans to have them undergo another test. Those with excellent spiritual roots can be accepted into the Four Courts by the martial uncles. As for the rest, they can also be taken into the outer sect and distributed to the various spiritual fields to look after spiritual seeds."
