"Master! Master Bai!" Tieyun was also taken aback. The two figures of white light were none other than the Northern Cold Sect Master, Han Qianli, and the Sunset Peak Head, Bai Yifeng.
No one had expected that Amu's cultivation at the Falling Cloud Cliff would actually bring these two here in person.
Both Han Qianli and Bai Yifeng were dressed in white, almost equally ethereal. As they landed at the base of the cliff, many Northern Cold disciples hurriedly bowed and greeted them, shouting, "Greetings, Sect Master! Greetings, Head Bai!"
Some of the novice disciples were seeing Han Qianli for the first time. Being able to see the Sect Master, these disciples were all extremely excited. After all, even during the three-year grand competition of the Northern Cold Eight Veins, Han Qianli sometimes did not show up.
However, Han Qianli and Bai Yifeng were not there for them. They just smiled and nodded, indicating that they could rise, then headed straight for Amu.
"Amu greets Sect Master, Master Bai!" Amu bowed, still admiring these two greatly.
"Amu, you may rise!" Han Qianli glanced at Amu, then exchanged a look with Bai Yifeng.
Both of their eyes revealed a hint of surprise.
"Sect Master, Amu has been cultivating the Root Nourishing Technique for three days, and it's as if he has been cultivating for three to four months like a regular disciple. He can now gather spiritual energy! Truly a genius of the world!" Bai Yifeng, who was usually proud of his talent, couldn't help but praise Amu repeatedly.
Han Qianli nodded and said to Amu, "Well done, Amu! It seems that your future achievements will surely surpass mine."
These words were profound, but only he and Amu could understand them. Wang Jue had once instructed that if he did not inform Amu, Amu could only leave the mountain if he surpassed Han Qianli.
But when Amu later learned the significance of Han Qianli being an initial-stage Spirit Saint cultivator, he couldn't help but draw a cold breath. It seemed his master wanted him to stay for at least a hundred years! Han Qianli's words were probably meant to encourage Amu!
"Thank you, Sect Master, Master Bai! Amu will cultivate with all his might and not let you down!" At this moment, Amu could feel the deep shock that Han Qianli and Bai Yifeng's arrival had on the Northern Cold disciples. The entire scene was silent, with everyone looking at Han Qianli and Amu. Even Amu could sense that there seemed to be gazes coming from the fifteen cultivation caves.
It seemed that all three thousand Northern Cold cultivators were watching him, and the heads of the Eight Veins and the seven elders were also looking forward to his performance.
For the first time, Amu felt a bit of pressure, but more importantly, he felt motivated.
Han Qianli looked up at the three caves of Heaven, Earth, and Man, and said slowly, "Amu, Tieyun should have told you about the wonders of these three caves!"
Amu nodded in agreement.
"Amu, with your current cultivation, you can only cultivate in the cave for about three to four hours a day. More than that would be counterproductive. Also, if you feel anything wrong in your cultivation within three days, do not force yourself to cultivate in the Heaven cave. After all, the Heaven cave is too extraordinary, and you cannot have any accidents." Han Qianli looked at Amu with deep meaning.
Although Han Qianli was almost certain that Amu must have Wang Jue's secret teachings, otherwise, it would have been impossible for him to block Bai Yifeng's attack so easily, and it would have been impossible for him to have such rapid progress in cultivation. This was why he was confident that Amu could cultivate in the Heaven cave, but he still wanted to remind Amu, just in case.
When leaving Liu Town, Wang Jue's last words were—As long as Amu is here, the Northern Cold Sect is here! If anything happens to Amu, the Northern Cold Sect's thousands of years of tradition will disappear in the Sea of Desolate Divine Land!
Han Qianli would not forget this. He knew that if Wang Jue said it, he would definitely do it. Han Qianli would not joke with the Northern Cold Sect's nine-thousand-year tradition.
Hearing Han Qianli's words, Amu hurriedly said, "Sect Master, rest assured. Amu knows how to handle it. If the Heaven cave is not meant for me, I will not force it."
Han Qianli smiled and nodded, then took out a jade pendant from his pocket and handed it to Amu, saying, "This jade pendant is called the Heart-Stabilizing Jade. It belongs to the senior who cultivated in the Earth cave a hundred years ago. It can stabilize the heart and prevent the rise of demons. Thanks to this, the senior was able to cultivate in the Earth cave. Hearing that you are about to cultivate in the Heaven cave, he asked me to give you this Heart-Stabilizing Jade and said, 'A mind without杂念, no demons can enter.' He wants you to understand this well!"
"Heart-Stabilizing Jade!" Tieyun couldn't help but grin, thinking, "Amu is really lucky! This is another initial-stage soul treasure. Two grandmasters, one giving the All-Heaven如意 Bracelet, the other giving the Heart-Stabilizing Jade. Why do I feel like soul treasures are so cheap these days!"
Amu, unaware of Tieyun's thoughts, took the jade pendant and hung it around his neck. Instantly, he felt a cool sensation, refreshing his mind and spirit.
Bai Yifeng smiled and said, "Amu, I also have something to give you, but it's not a soul-level treasure! There are not many soul-level treasures in the entire Northern Cold Sect, and they might soon be all in your collection!"
After a joke, Bai Yifeng took out a palm-sized black disc from his storage bag, which looked unremarkable.
"Heavenly Black Disc!" Tieyun exclaimed, "Master Bai, you really are generous!"
"An inferior flying magical tool, what's there to be generous about?" Bai Yifeng smiled.
"Inferior magical tool?" Tieyun turned to Amu and said, "Junior Brother Amu, this Heavenly Black Disc is Master Bai's cherished item. Although it's only a mid-stage spirit treasure, it's a top-notch flying magical tool. If fully activated, it can travel a thousand miles in an instant, even surpassing ordinary supreme spirit cultivators."
"Amu, with your current cultivation, you cannot yet use cultivation energy to activate this, let alone spiritual energy. However, you have spirit coins, so you can go to the Ten Thousand Spirits Cave and exchange for some spirit stones to activate it. In the future, you can use it to travel to and from the Falling Cloud Peak every day!" Bai Yifeng handed the Heavenly Black Disc to Amu.
Amu bowed in gratitude, took the Heavenly Black Disc, and directly stored it in the All-Heaven如意 Bracelet.
The Northern Cold disciples watching from the side were also quite knowledgeable. How could they not know the value of these two treasures? Their eyes lit up, and their breathing quickened. They felt envy, jealousy, and a mix of emotions.
After all, some cultivators never had a spirit treasure in their entire lives, let alone a soul treasure.
The Sect Master and the Head actually gave these treasures to Amu as if they were cabbages.
If this were another sect, these people would have long gone to抢 these treasures.
However, in the Northern Cold Sect, no disciple would dare to do such a thing, or they would be destroyed in the cycle of rebirth.
This was also why Han Qianli and Bai Yifeng dared to give such valuable treasures to Amu.
First, it showed their emphasis on Amu, and second, they were not worried about any treasure-grabbing incidents in the Northern Cold Sect.
"Alright, it's getting late! Tieyun, give Amu the talisman to open the Heaven cave and let him try it out!" Han Qianli said.
Tieyun hurriedly took out a golden key from his storage bag and handed it to Amu, saying, "Junior Brother Amu, this is the talisman to open the Heaven cave. I'll take you up there. Hold the talisman, and if you have the affinity, it will float for a moment to verify, and you will naturally be able to enter the cave. From then on, until your cultivation is complete, no one can enter the Heaven cave unless you voluntarily give up your cultivation rights there. The Heaven cave has no time limit for cultivation, it's all up to your own will."
After explaining everything, Tieyun handed the golden key to Amu. Amu took the key and bowed to Han Qianli and Bai Yifeng again.
Then, Tieyun waved his hand, and a cultivation energy directly enveloped Amu and sent him to the Heaven cave, a hundred zhang high.
At the cave entrance, Amu felt a very familiar sensation and instinctively raised the talisman key.
Originally, Amu wanted to experience the floating in the air. However, there was no floating at all. The Heaven cave directly emitted a dark light, and Amu was sucked into the Heaven cave.
