Chapter 36

"Qingyin, what is your true identity...?" Lu Shaoyou was extremely puzzled, "Is your status so high that even Luofanchen is under your control?"

"I won't tell you... hmpf!" Luo Qingyin's eyes flickered with a hint of panic, but she quickly regained her composure, pouting and turning her head away.

Just as Lu Shaoyou was about to continue questioning her, Luofanchen, who was walking ahead, suddenly spoke up, "We're here, this is the main base of our Flame Crow Clan! I'll introduce you to the various buildings and their uses later. This place is huge, so you must stay close, or I won't be responsible if you get lost." As he spoke, he made a series of hand seals, and a loud boom echoed. A beam of divine light flashed, and the Flame Wu Orders on Lu Shaoyou and the others flew out, shooting towards the divine light.

"Boom—" A terrifying pressure swept over Lu Shaoyou, making all the demons present feel as if the mountains and rivers were collapsing! However, when the Flame Wu Orders hovered in the air, the pressure instantly disappeared.

"This is a routine check for those entering the Flame Crow Clan. Since you have the Flame Wu Orders, the pressure disappears," Luofanchen explained. "If strangers try to enter this great array, they will be eliminated."

"Alright, let's go!"

Lu Shaoyou and the others nodded, and in a flash, they entered the radiant great array.

As soon as they entered the great array, Lu Shaoyou and the others were all in a state of shock. They saw endless nameless mountains, with peaks stretching endlessly into the sky. Each peak was as straight as a knife, piercing the heavens. Some peaks were covered with densely packed palaces, and some palaces even floated in the ethereal clouds, presenting a scene of a blessed land of immortals. The essence energy in this great array was extremely rich and pure, and one breath made them feel light and ethereal. The divine pig in Lu Shaoyou's mind was wildly wriggling, swallowing the essence energy in large gulps, muttering, "So comfortable, so comfortable!"

Even more bizarre were some anti-physical phenomena. The sky was bright and sunny, the azure sky was spotless, like a large piece of pure blue crystal, blue to the extreme, without a trace of impurity. Occasionally, a small cloud drifted lazily by.

The sky was bright and sunny, but some peaks were covered in snow, while others were in full bloom with flowers competing for beauty. Countless waterfalls cascaded down, like white dragons spanning the entire mountain. Ancient trees towered, and cypress trees stood tall, their roots twisting like dragons. The vast branches spread out, and dappled sunlight fell across the entire land, a faint sense of ancientness emanating from deep within the earth, making one feel a sense of kinship.

At the peak of the mountains, divine light shone brightly, and endless divine chants echoed, as if cleansing the mind. In the depths of the cloud sea, magnificent palaces stood, leaving everyone present speechless.

Paradise! Paradise! Lu Shaoyou shouted in his heart. This is the blessed land of immortals where one seeks the Dao! He then mocked himself, originally thinking that paradise was nothing special, but when he truly saw it, he was utterly amazed.

Immortal birds played, and divine dragons drew water!

At this moment, several immortal cranes slowly drifted over, with several young men and women sitting on them, all wearing dark red robes, each with an incomparably handsome face. As they flew from afar, they immediately leaped off the cranes upon seeing Lu Shaoyou and the others, bowing to Luofanchen, "Greetings, Senior Brother Luo!"

"Senior Brother?" Lu Shaoyou couldn't help but frown, "Why do clan members use such awkward titles?"

"That's because they are outer disciples. The outer disciples are part of the Flame Crow Clan, but in fact, they are a large sect backed by the Flame Crow Clan, coexisting with the inner clan. The Flame Crow Clan is divided into the outer disciples and the inner clan, not out of racial discrimination, but they are actually of the same level, with no hierarchy," Luo Qingyin whispered in Lu Shaoyou's ear, "So, in the inner clan of the Flame Crow Clan, they call each other brothers, while in the outer disciples, they uniformly use the term 'senior brother.' This is modeled after the practices of human sects."

"I see," Lu Shaoyou nodded.

"Junior brothers and sisters, I have brought new members, so I will take them on a tour," Luofanchen said.

"Senior Brother, you have worked hard," the few people respectfully said. Lu Shaoyou looked at them, and their respectful expressions were genuine, not just formalities, evident from their eyes.

"Alright, I'll take you to your living quarters first," Luofanchen turned around and said, "Oh, right, Niuman, you follow those few, they will arrange your living quarters. You few, take care of it, he is a miscellaneous disciple."

"Yes," the few people respectfully bowed and led Niuman away.

"You three, come with me. Yeku, Lu Shaoyou, follow me to the Azure Dragon Hall, that's where you will live. As for Li Yuchen, I'll take you to the Vermilion Bird Hall later."

"Alright," the three nodded and flew straight towards Luofanchen.

On a towering mountain peak, thousands of feet high, there were ancient pines and cypresses, waterfalls and streams, and palaces standing on the mountain. At the peak, a thousand-foot-long azure dragon coiled, and a huge, magnificent palace floated beside it.

"This Azure Dragon is the guardian immortal beast of the Azure Dragon Hall, its strength is immeasurable," Luofanchen explained, "It guards the Azure Dragon Hall day and night."

"Yeku, Lu Shaoyou, you will live at the foot of the mountain. Since you are new, you can only live at the foot. In our clan, only those with great strength can live higher up. Your current strength is too weak, so you can only live at the lowest level. The stronger you become, the better your living conditions will be. Eventually, you might even occupy an entire mountain. That's all, you two can settle in. As for Li Yuchen, come with me." With that, he waved his sleeve, enveloping Li Yuchen and Luo Qingyin, and flew away.

Lu Shaoyou looked around, his heart surging. His path to immortality begins here!

Yeku still had a pained expression, but his eyes still showed shock and excitement. Lu Shaoyou looked at Yeku and said, "Although we had some conflicts in the small dimension, we are strangers here. I only know you, and I hope we can resolve our conflicts and face the strong on the mountain together!"

"Alright," Yeku thought for a moment and nodded.

At this moment, an unpleasant voice appeared, "I didn't expect the new ones to be so enthusiastic. Kid, what's your name?"
