Chapter 30

When he met Chen Zizai at Lake Sea City, Hengyi curiously asked, "How long does it take to fly to the Peak Sect?"

Although Hu Baijie was afraid of Chen Zizai, she bit her lower lip to hold back a laugh. Chen Zizai, on the other hand, laughed heartily. "Fly? That's too far!"

Hengyi watched as Chen Zizai took out a talisman and activated it, and soon a bright light enveloped their bodies.

"Brother Hengyi, the main cities of major and minor sects are equipped with magical arrays. By using specific runes, a teleportation spell can be generated to directly transport people to the corresponding array. If you were to fly, it would take you a continuous month of non-stop flying!"

"Is the Peak Star so vast!" Hengyi was amazed.

The white light suddenly intensified, and in the blink of an eye, it swallowed them all.

Everything in front of Hengyi suddenly turned colorful, as if he were in a tunnel of colored light. He tried to move his body, and Chen Zizai laughed, "If you rush out, you'll be sent to an unknown place."

Hengyi quickly stopped moving. After a moment, a white light door appeared at the end of the colorful tunnel, and they were all pulled into it by the force inside the tunnel.

Hengyi's vision was filled with only white light...

As the bright light gradually dimmed and his vision cleared, he found himself in a misty white light.

This was a large magical array.

Frequent figures appeared around him. When Hengyi saw many graceful women, he felt uneasy and quickly held his breath.

'The outside world is just as Baijie described, with many women dressed like her...' Many of the women Hengyi saw were dressed revealingly, and quite a few wore outfits similar to Baijie's goddess attire.

"There are so many people." On the way out of the array with Chen Zizai, Hengyi encountered many suddenly appearing figures. A woman in a light green gauze dress suddenly appeared in front of Hengyi, almost colliding with him. Hengyi quickly stopped, and at such close range, he could even smell her fragrance. The woman's red lips almost touched him, and Hengyi's slightly red, embarrassed expression caught her attention. She smiled and said, "What a pure little handsome guy." As she turned away, she gave him a flying kiss and said, "See you again if we have the chance." She left, leaving Hengyi flustered.

Seeing Hengyi's flustered expression, Hu Baijie couldn't help but chuckle and said, "Calm down."

Hengyi took a deep breath and nodded.

Chen Zizai smiled and said, "The Peak Star is the main star of the star system. The number of people from various star systems' divine gates passing through Peak City every day is countless. Customs differ among people from different planets, and Brother Hengyi will gradually adapt. The first thing you need to know here is not to call yourself a disciple of a sect. The term 'sect' only exists in places like the Lake Sea Sect due to information isolation and the influence of ordinary people. In such places, you must follow local customs. However, in the eight major divine gates and even many million-level divine gates, the term 'divine gate' is the correct one."

"Because they are all gods?" Hengyi thought about how the village gods and town gods were all gods, and the disciples of the Lake Sea Sect seemed like real immortals to the city gods, while the disciples of the Peak Sect seemed unattainably high to the Lake Sea Sect.

"Human civilization is originally the Dream God Race. You probably don't know the history of human civilization. The transformative beginning of human civilization started with the five true gods of the Dream Race in the Chaos Era. Although the Dream Gods have long since disappeared, it is undeniable that human civilization is of the Dream Race, and this is a reason for the human race to be confident and proud." As Chen Zizai spoke, his expression clearly showed pride and honor, fully interpreting his words.

But Hengyi was clueless about all this.

Hu Baijie had never mentioned it before because she couldn't let Hengyi know about the vast world outside the Lake Sea Sect. Now, there was no need to hide it. She leaned close to Hengyi's ear and briefly explained, "The origin of human civilization is later than many races in the current universe. To seek development, the ancient gods led by the Demon Empress and Sword Emperor created the Chaos Era Plan, using the virtual space to cultivate and lead true gods. The five true gods of the Dream Race—Zishan, Xiaoyunxi, Xiaojian, Yiyun, and Mose—were the first to become true gods. They assisted the divine brain in nearly two thousand years of warfare, allowing human civilization to successfully resist the invasions of many powerful races in the universe, even defeating the powerful Sind civilization. Since then, the Sind civilization has regarded the Dream True Gods as the ultimate goal of evolution and has become a brother race to human civilization."

Hengyi understood only half of what he heard, especially the part about the eternal Chaos Era Plan and the virtual space, but Hu Baijie couldn't answer his questions. Chen Zizai smiled and said, "That's a product of the past technological era, which is hard for us to fully understand now. After the Truth Plan, the Dream Gods left human civilization for an unknown place. When the Sind civilization invaded human civilization, the Dream True Gods intervened, and the Sind civilization was quickly subdued! Later, under the leadership of the great Yiyu and the god king of the Sind civilization, Xindelar, we gained the current strength in the universe... The complete end of the technological era began when the Soul Race broke free from the virtual space. The Sind civilization gained many benefits from the Soul Tree that were unattainable in the technological era. As a result, our two civilizations achieved development closer to true immortality. Now, as long as we can reach the Earth Venerable realm, we can gain a very long life. If we reach the Heaven Venerable realm, we can live as long as the heavens and the earth! With the intensification of inter-racial wars in the universe and the gradual end of the technological era, the Chaos Era Plan was completely terminated. The two civilizations left the virtual space to return to reality to face the inevitable and brutal inter-racial wars in the universe."

The brief explanations from the two gave Hengyi a general understanding of the history of human civilization, filling him with vague fantasies and expectations for the future. The vast universe... the broad world, the battles and responsibilities of survival, everything became clearer. In Hengyi's limited imagination, the other hostile races in the universe were like fierce beasts such as snow wolves and bears, and only battle mattered.

Hengyi once thought Lake Sea City was large, but now, flying high in the sky with Chen Zizai, he could see the entire Peak City. He realized how small Lake Sea City was in comparison. The central teleportation array of Peak City alone was probably larger than the entire Lake Sea Sect.

Seeing Hengyi looking at the ground, Chen Zizai said, "Brother Hengyi, don't rush. You'll have plenty of opportunities to understand Peak City in the future."

"Okay!" Hengyi wasn't in a hurry; he was just curious.

They flew higher and higher. Looking up, they still saw the void, but Hengyi knew that, like the Lake Sea Sect, the divine mountains of the Peak Sect were in the void and could not be seen with the naked eye unless they flew close enough.

Hu Baijie's grip on Hengyi's arm tightened. She was filled with unease, unsure of the unknown fears awaiting her in the Peak Sect...

Suddenly, a misty cloud appeared before them. Hengyi passed through the cloud, and the scene in front of him changed.

A vast mountain range, seemingly blocking the sky, stood before them—

The undulating mountains all emitted a misty light, and Hengyi had no idea where they ended. He only knew that even the smallest mountain in this range far surpassed the Lake Sea Immortal Mountain!

"The Peak Divine Mountain Range is a thousand miles long and wide. The central mountain is the Peak Mountain, and the eight closest mountains on either side are the Eight Peaks, each governed by one of the Eight Symbols. You will go to the Peak Mountain with me, and Xiao Ying will take Hu Baijie to the North Peak to report in." Chen Zizai said calmly. Xiao Ying smiled and bowed, accepting the task, and called out to Hu Baijie, "Let's go."

Hu Baijie knew that what she feared had finally come. Chen Zizai clearly intended to separate her and Hengyi for their cultivation and studies.

"Hengyi, come see me often..." Hu Baijie took a deep breath to dispel her fear, reluctantly letting go of Hengyi's arm. As she followed Xiao Ying and flew away, she kept looking back at Hengyi, afraid he would forget their agreement.

Seeing her deeply affectionate and reluctant expression, Chen Zizai couldn't help but smile. "Your relationship is so sweet—Xiao Ying, take Brother Hengyi to the Two Poles Hall on the Peak Mountain." Chen Zizai then bowed to Hengyi and said, "Brother Hengyi, go report in first. I'll come later."

"Brother Chen, do as you please." Hengyi bowed in farewell and followed Xiao Ying straight to the Peak Mountain.

On the way, Hengyi learned from Xiao Ying that the spiritual energy of the Peak Divine Mountain Range was the strongest in the Peak Star System, making it the most suitable place for cultivation. The number of disciples on the mountain changed daily, but in recent years, it had never been less than ten million. These disciples came from planets within the Peak Star System, with a small number being special cultivation disciples. The Two Poles Hall on the main mountain was one of the cultivation series, while the Eight Peaks were the other eight series. Initially, the specific cultivation content was the same, but the names were given for management and allocation purposes. Over time, each series developed its own characteristics, forming its own main cultivation direction and style. The Two Poles Hall became the only comprehensive and more flexible cultivation style; the North Peak focused on agility and flexibility, supplemented by various spells; the Northeast Peak was suitable for defensive spells; the East Peak excelled in both offense and defense; the Southeast Peak specialized in long-range spells with close-range protection; the South Peak pursued pure long-range killing spells; the Southwest Peak cultivated both long-range and close-range attack spells; the West Peak excelled in agile and swift close-range high-damage spells; and the Northwest Peak was suitable for defensive and counter-attack type divine gate cultivators.

Over the years, the Eight Peaks developed their own unique spell cultivation routines, which not only reflected their characteristics but also condensed the wisdom and experience of countless predecessors. Collectively known as the Eight Great Routines of the Peak, they were renowned throughout the many star systems of human civilization.

"The Eight Great Routines of the Two Poles Hall can all be cultivated, but usually, one chooses the ones they like and find applicable to focus on. The Lake Sea Sect, being a small sect, teaches a wide variety of skills, but that's only suitable for cultivation after the age of thirty. Before thirty, it's better to focus on mastering a few key skills. This way, you won't delay your true qi cultivation, and you can use them effectively when needed. Being broad but not deep is only good for show. Remember, all Peak Sect disciples cultivate the Eight Great Routines, but the same spell can be used differently by different people, resulting in varying levels of effectiveness." Xiao Ying's words showed that she was also a divine gate cultivator and had a good understanding of cultivation matters.

Hengyi listened attentively, and Xiao Ying laughed, "Oh, I shouldn't be the one saying these things. I can't compare to the masters of the Peak Sect. We're here—"
