310: Chapter 148 The Invincible Grand Preceptor_2 310: Chapter 148 The Invincible Grand Preceptor_2 All of them caught sight of the immovable figure outside the mountain gate, who appeared no different from a statue.
Everyone was momentarily taken aback.
Liao Kong was still looking at that scripture?
So many people had arrived, and yet Liao Kong hadn’t moved?
Full of curiosity, Yuan Ci turned to the disciple responsible for guarding the mountain gate and asked, “Has he been in that same posture for the past three days?
Has it never changed?”
“No, not at all.
I feel like even his eyes haven’t moved.
He’s just been staring straight at the book in his hands.” The disciple being asked shook his head, full of incomprehension, as he answered.
He had truly never encountered such a peculiar person before.
“What scripture could make Liao Kong remain motionless for three days?” Yuan Ci was brimming with curiosity as she walked towards Liao Kong and glanced at the scripture in his hands.
The next moment, as soon as she saw the scripture, she froze completely, staring dumbfounded at the text, unmoving, just like Liao Kong.
“True Person Yuan Ci?”
“What’s going on?”
The Peak Masters of the Zen Cultivation Peaks felt a surge of curiosity and similarly looked towards the scripture.
Upon seeing it, these meditative masters became utterly transfixed.
For a moment, the disciples engaged in Zen cultivation looked at each other, all dumbstruck.
“This…”
“Why are all the Peak Masters also staring at that scripture without moving?”
“What’s going on?
What kind of scripture is that actually?”
The disciples were highly curious, but none of them dared to move closer to have a look.
If their Peak Masters froze upon seeing the scripture, what would happen if they did?
They might end up frozen like the Peak Masters.
Maybe they wouldn’t discern anything, but there was an even greater chance that they would fall into demonic confusion.
“Senior brother, what should we do?”
“Leave some disciples here to keep watch.
I will go back and report to the Sect Leader,” one said.
Cao Zhen followed the imperial mission delegation, making his way towards the Capital City of the Guardian Immortal Imperial Dynasty.
This was his first time leaving the Hundred Peaks Sect since arriving in this world.
Only after truly leaving the sect did he realize how much larger this world was than he had imagined.
The selection criterion for the imperial mission delegation to the Guardian Immortal Imperial Dynasty was the ability to perform Sword Flight.
Although the disciples in the delegation might not have Divine Weapons and could not fly as fast as him, each of them was capable of flight.
With such fast-flying people, three days had passed, and yet they had still not arrived at the Capital City of the Guardian Immortal Imperial Dynasty.
On their journey, Cao Zhen flew over plains and saw peaceful and serene villages, lush green fields, and diligent farmers at work.
He also passed arid loess plateaus, observing the parched ground cracking open everywhere.
He even traveled through a deserted stretch of desert.
Along the way, he could even see immortals flying down from afar, casting spells to bring rain to parched lands.
He saw immortals moving mountains and rocks to block floods.
Although all those present were practitioners of immortal cultivation, some disciples were not as strong and couldn’t keep flying continuously; they needed rest too.
After three days, a very ordinary-looking small town appeared before them.
At the entrance of the town stood a noticeably secluded building.
Hanging outside the building was a sign.
Cao Zhen looked down and saw three large characters—Immortal Reception House.
Chang Tiance, who had been constantly by Cao Zhen’s side all along the way, noticed his gaze and quickly explained in a low voice, “Peak Master Cao, this Immortal Reception House is designed by the Guardian Immortal Imperial Dynasty to accommodate resting cultivators.
Should there be any need, you can also inform the officials of the Immortal Reception House, who generally hold local governance positions as well.”
Cao Zhen nodded slightly and followed everyone else down to the Immortal Reception House.
At the entrance of the Immortal Reception House, two soldiers who had been lazily leaning against the door chatting suddenly spotted a group of immortals descending from the sky.
They instantly became alert, standing upright by the door, with one of them hastily running out.
It wasn’t long before a man dressed as a court official hurried to the Immortal Reception House, led by the soldier.
Following behind them was a group of soldiers.
This official obviously wasn’t seeing immortals for the first time.
Upon seeing the group, he showed no signs of panic, and quickly approached them with a bow, saying, “I am Tao Ruo Chang, the magistrate of Yu Min Town.
I have the honor to meet the immortals.
May I ask if you are en route to the Capital City to attend the coronation ceremony of His Majesty?”
Lan Pili, as the chief envoy of the mission, nodded slightly, “Indeed, we are here to attend the coronation.
Right now, we are a bit weary and wish to rest here for a while.”
Tao Ruo Chang courteously said, “You must be tired from your journey.
Currently, the Immortal Reception House is unoccupied by other immortals.
You may choose any room to rest.
May I inquire how long the immortals plan to stay?”
“Resting for one day, we’ll depart tomorrow,” Lan Pili said casually.
“Oh, one day.” Tao Ruo Chang nodded slightly and asked, “Honored sirs, what kind of food do you prefer?
I’ll have my subordinates prepare it.”
“That won’t be necessary,” Lan Pili clearly didn’t wish to converse further with Tao Ruo Chang and quickly chose a room.
Cao Zhen also randomly picked an unoccupied room.
Chang Tiance followed him into the room, offering his service earnestly, “Peak Master Cao, let me clean the room for you.
Since your disciples did not accompany you, you can command me for anything you need.
Just treat me as one of your own disciples.”
