105: Chapter 105 Moving Mountains and Filling Seas, Relocation! [Bonus Chapter for Fellow Daoist Just Entering Twilight]

[Extra chapter for Fellow Daoist "Zhishi Jin Huanghun"! Thank you for the Great God Certification!]

...

The three-day period arrived in the blink of an eye.

Inside Hongtian City, wild winds kicked up ashes amidst the broken walls and debris; the city had lost its former prosperity and was now consumed by a deathly silence.

The autumn wind blew bleakly as the time for parting and farewells came.

This long journey did not include the Mortals. There were too many of them to carry easily, so it was best to let them rest and recover in Hongtian City, living as a mundane secular Family.

Once things settled in the future, the children of the Sun Clan could participate in the White Cloud Temple's Immortal Ascension Assembly.

Children with cultivation Aptitude would join the White Cloud Temple as Disciples while simultaneously returning to the Sun Clan lineage to rejoin the Family and continue the generational name.

The remaining eighteen Cultivators of the Sun Clan had already packed their bags.

The crowd stood at the foot of the Main Peak.

Sun Mao's left shoulder was wrapped in white cloth, and his face remained pale. He looked up at the mountain peak that held the blood, sweat, and tears of several generations of the Sun Clan, his eyes filled with reluctance.

At the summit, Shi Jian had transformed into a five-zhang-tall purple-gold Thunder Bear, standing proudly beneath the firmament.

Shi Jian looked down, his voice booming like rolling thunder:

"This mountain peak can be considered my dao field. How can I leave it to be carved up by those low-rate Loose Cultivators? I might as well take it with me."

Sun Mao was stunned.

What did the Old Ancestor mean by this?

In the next moment, Shi Jian provided the answer with his actions!

He threw his head back and let out a sky-shaking roar.

The nine-patterned thunder core within his body spun frantically, and his boundless demonic power poured out without reservation. The Purple Heaven Divine Thunder transformed into thousands of thick lightning chains that plunged deep into the earth along the cracks in the mountain.

He forcibly severed the mountain's earth veins from the ground and began to pull it out bit by bit!

"Rise!"

Shi Jian's arms suddenly exerted force, his muscles bulging and his bones emitting dull explosions. A phantom of a giant bear roared amidst the clouds!

The earth trembled violently.

Deep, bottomless chasms split open across the ground for a hundred miles around.

A tooth-aching tearing sound echoed from deep underground; it was the sound of the Spiritual Vein and earth Qi being forcibly stripped away!

“Rumble!”

Under the horrified gazes of the Sun Clan members and the host of demons, that Sun Clan Main Peak, hundreds of zhang high, was actually pulled out of the ground by Shi Jian!

Countless rocks and soil tumbled down, and the Spiritual Vein deep underground emitted a dazzling spiritual light, held tightly within the mountain by the lightning chains so that not a single bit could escape.

Moving mountains and filling seas!

This was the power of a Golden Core great demon!

Sun Mao's legs went weak, his eyes filled with extreme excitement. He knew Golden Core Masters were powerful, but seeing a mountain peak uprooted with his own eyes...

This visual impact made every hair on his body tremble!

"Old Ancestor's Divine Might!"

Elder Rat screeched, his eyes full of fanaticism.

Shi Mo, Shi Pan, the Thunder Badger, and the other demons all roared toward the sky!

Shi Jian lifted the several-hundred-zhang-high Main Peak, and a purple-gold thunder cloud ten miles wide formed beneath his feet. The thunder cloud supported the mountain, the Sun Clan members, and the Spirit Beasts covering the mountain.

"Go!"

The thunder cloud pierced through the air, whistling toward the north.

Everywhere it passed, the Loose Cultivators and Mortals of the Nine Counties of Baiyun Prefecture looked up in awe.

It was a divine mountain of lightning floating in the sky!

It blotted out the sun, carrying an immense sense of pressure.

Countless Mortals knelt and kowtowed, thinking a god had descended to the world, while many Cultivators stopped to salute and bow.

Some even wrote travelogues on the spot, recording it as a wonder to be passed down through the ages, leaving future generations to marvel at it!

Shi Jian lay coiled at the mountain peak, eyes closed to rest his spirit.

He didn't uproot the mountain just to show off.

This Rank 2 Medium Grade spiritual vein of Hongtian City was his foundation, built up bit by bit over forty years by smashing in countless resources.

It was his life's blood and the cornerstone for his future Fusion with even higher-grade Spiritual Veins. Leave it here? Not a chance!

As for what the Cultivators who would succeed him in Hongtian City would do...

That was none of his business. As long as Shi Jian was comfortable, it was fine; he wasn't a human Cultivator, and he didn't care about the life or death of others.

...

The Yunjian Mountain Range were located in the center of Baiyun Prefecture.

After flying for half a day, a vast and boundless landscape of spiritual mountains finally appeared before everyone's eyes; this was the core of the White Cloud Temple.

The peaks Shi Jian had visited before, or the places where he had met others,

Were all the outermost mountain gates of the Yunjian Mountain Range, with the Baiyun Market at the foot of the mountains, not the core of the White Cloud Temple Sect.

The Yunjian Mountain Range were vast and boundless.

Stretching for hundreds of miles, they contained over two hundred mountain peaks...

This was the true blessed land of immortals!

Looking out, peaks competed in beauty and ten thousand ravines flowed; the Spiritual Qi was so dense it had turned into a physical white mist, flowing slowly through the valleys.

Immortal cranes shuttled and flew together in the sea of clouds, while spiritual apes climbed and leaped among the cliffs.

Waterfalls and springs hung like the Milky Way, splashing up thousands of water droplets that refracted brilliant seven-colored light in the sun.

Ancient trees reached toward the sky with lush foliage, each leaf shimmering with a faint emerald spiritual light. Rare flowers and exotic herbs were everywhere, emitting a refreshing and heart-cleansing fragrance...

The mountain range rose and fell like sleeping dragons.

Some peaks were as steep as swords, piercing the clouds; some were rounded like canopies, with purple Qi coming from the east. Pavilions and towers were faintly visible among the mountains, with flying eaves and arched brackets, showing the profound mysteries of the Daoist school!

In the very center of this vast mountain range stood a towering giant peak that reached into the clouds, several thousand zhang high.

Jianyun Peak.

The Main Peak of White Cloud Temple and the place where Daoist Yun Du cultivated in seclusion year-round.

A Rank 3 Medium Grade spiritual vein lay beneath it, and the Spiritual Qi was so dense that it even condensed into visible puddles of spiritual liquid at the summit.

The Sect protection array formed a faint layer of clear light, enveloping the entire Main Peak and emitting a heart-palpitating pressure.

Besides Jianyun Peak, eighteen Rank 2 spiritual vein peaks and over a hundred Rank 1 spiritual vein mountains surrounded it like stars around the moon.

This was the foundation of the White Cloud Temple.

Shi Jian, holding up the Hongtian City Main Peak, stopped at the outskirts of the Yunjian Mountain Range.

"What a grand display."

Shi Jian looked down at the mountain range, calculating in his heart. It was no wonder the White Cloud Temple had endured for seven or eight hundred years...

And had even birthed a Low Grade Blessed Land; its geographical advantage was clear!

No wonder that fellow Yan Qiu was so greedy and targeted the White Cloud Temple at every turn. Cultivation required the so-called Wealth, Companions, Laws, and Land, and these Yunjian Mountain Range could solve both the wealth and land requirements. Truly extraordinary.

"I'm definitely taking a bite out of this fat piece of meat that is the White Cloud Temple," Shi Jian thought to himself as a white streak of light flew out from Jianyun Peak.

Immortal Master Daoist Yun Du stepped forward on a Flying Sword.

Looking at the massive mountain peak Shi Jian held above his head, the corners of his eyes couldn't help but twitch a few times, feeling somewhat helpless.

This bear demon really moved his entire foundation here!

"Fellow Daoist Shi truly has great spirit."

Immortal Master Daoist Yun Du suppressed the shock in his heart, cupped his hands, and smiled. "I have been waiting for a long time. Your arrival brings light to our White Cloud Temple!"

Shi Jian restrained his Demonic Qi and steadily hovered the mountain peak in mid-air.

"Fellow Daoist Daoist Yun Du is too kind."

"I've brought my whole Family along, so I must find a place for these little ones to stay."

Shi Jian pointed to the mountains below. "I wonder which part of these Yunjian Mountain Range belongs to me? I need to settle down first."

Immortal Master Daoist Yun Du stroked his beard and smiled, having already prepared a plan.

"You are a Guest Elder of our Sect, with a status equal to a Vice Master."

"In these Yunjian Mountain Range, except for the Main Peak and a few Forbidden Grounds, you may choose as you wish. As long as you are satisfied, nothing will be denied!"

Shi Jian's gaze swept over the entire area, and he raised his bear paw, pointing toward the north.

"Thirty-six Rank 1 spiritual vein mountains in the north, plus six Rank 2 spiritual vein peaks—I want this land."

"Is the Master of the Temple willing?"

Immortal Master Daoist Yun Du's brow furrowed slightly.

That northern area accounted for nearly thirty percent of the Yunjian Mountain Range' territory.

Thirty-six Rank 1 spiritual veins were fine, but six Rank 2 spiritual vein peaks were a massive amount of resources...

However, to bind a Golden Core combat power, the White Cloud Temple could certainly afford this price. There would be plenty of ways to earn it back in the future!

"Good! Very well!"

"It shall be as you say!"

Immortal Master Daoist Yun Du nodded in agreement. "That area will be your private dao field from now on. Sect Disciples shall not step foot in it without permission."

"Temple Master, you are straightforward!"
