First Disciples Of The Eternal Peak!

1 Year Later.

Dark clouds hovered above the Eternal Peak, a soft drizzle pouring down, with hazy mist surrounding the entire mountain range. Occasionally, sounds of thunder rumbling could be heard.

In the midst of the rain, multiple figures could be seen making their way towards the mountain range on foot.

There were around 20 or so people in total. They were all young men and women around the ages of 15-25. The strongest among them was at the Fifth Level of Acupoint Opening Stage, while the weakest was at the Second Level.

3 more people were leading the way in front of them. They were Meng Xing, Jia Changxun and Feng Zhen. The three of them chatted as they walked.

"The Spirit Qi seems to be getting more and more dense. It's almost as dense as our Sect's main grounds just on the outskirts, I wonder how much will it be once we're actually within the mountain range?" Asked Meng Xing with a suprised expression, turning his gaze to Jia Changxun.

"Fifth Elder, you won't believe it, but the Eternal Peak's Spirit Qi was already as dense as that of an Innate Realm Faction the last time we came here. I think it has increased even more since then." Jia Changxun replied casually. He was not being disrespectful, but what he said was indeed the truth.

Meng Xing's eyes widened in shock, but he quickly regained his composure and maintained a calm demeanor on the surface.

The Eternal Peak was hidden from the outside world because of Tian Yongheng's Personal Dao Field, so no one could see through it unless they were far stronger than him. But his Personal Dao Field couldn't stop the surroundings from changing drastically because of the Spirit Qi seeping out of the Dao Field. At least, not now.

That's what caused the current situation outside the mountain range.

Some time later, all of them reached the mountain range.

Tian Yongheng, who was cultivating quietly, suddenly opened his eyes. His Divine Sense roaming around until he finally discovered the familiar presences nearby.

He slowly stood up and instantly appeared in front of them.

Seeing him, all the in-name Disciples were stunned, but their surprise immediately turned into astonishment by seeing his appearance.

Too handsome!

Not just them, every the other three people who had interacted with Tian Yongheng before also had the same expression on their faces, as if it was the first time they were seeing him.

They quickly snapped out of it and exchanged pleasantries.

"Fellow Daoist, these in-name Disciples behind me are all somewhat talented with 4-Elemental Spiritual Roots, with hopes of reaching the Foundation Establishment Realm if nurtured in this environment of your Eternal Peak." Meng Xing spoke as he smiled warmly.

4-Elemental Spiritual Roots weren't very outstanding to be honest, as even with the Great environment and resources of a Golden Core Realm Faction, they could barely reach the Acquired Realm in their whole lifetime.

But it was still considered talented in these remote areas where the strongest force was less than 10,000 years old and only at the Innate Realm. Not just that, the main reason why Single-Elemental Spiritual Roots were the most favored was because it was much easier and faster to cultivate with them.

After all, the more Elements one had in their Spiritual Roots, the more time it would take for them to improve. Even if people with Multiple Elemental Spiritual Roots could surpass the boundary of strength and defeat opponents multiple minor realms higher, they could still not cross the threshold of Major Realms.

Unless they had other specialties such as great Providence, were a Connate Providence bearer or Chosen One, or had any special bloodline and Constitution or Innate Talents.

"Thank you, Fellow Daoist." Tian Yongheng replied as his gaze turned to Jia Changxun and Feng Zhen.

"What about these two juniors? Will they also be joining?" He asked.

Meng Xing turned to look at both of them, and seeing their expectant expressions, he smiled as he nodded.

"Of course, if Fellow Daoist wants to."

Tian Yongheng nodded. Jia Changxun and Feng Zhen were both good kids in his eyes and also had 4-Elemental Spiritual Roots. Except for the fact that they were probably a few years older than Tian Yongheng himself.

If they stayed in the Eternal Peak, there would be hope for the both of them to reach the Acquired Realm or even beyond in the near future. The world was cruel to low level Cultivators with no backing and talent. It was better for them to stay here.

Although Tian Yongheng was not a selfless Saint, he would still naturally try to help people if he was capable of it. He may have lost his emotions on the outside, but he was still a human being on the inside.

After talking for a while more, Meng Xing left the Disciples in his care. Tian Yongheng also didn't ask him to stay, as he knew that some normal rain wouldn't affect him, a Cultivator at the peak of Foundation Establishment Realm.

He brought the very first Disciples inside the core area of the mountain range just outside his Cave Abode and explained a few things to them, their eyes rooted to his face.

To make a faction prosperous, there had to be a strict set of rules and good hierarchy, otherwise, it was bound to fall apart.

He had already thought these things out.

There were 4 main rules in the Eternal Peak, and they were -

"Never bring harm to your Fellow Disciples or the Eternal Peak."

"Never leave the mountain range without my permission."

"Never boast your strength or offend someone unless you are absolutely sure that you can take on the background of the other party alone; be low profile."

"You don't have to do any missions and just cultivate peacefully here until your cultivation really can't improve without going into the outside world."

All the Disciples nodded excitedly, even though some of these rules were weird, they didn't really care about such minor details.

Then, Tian Yongheng pointed towards Jia Changxun and Feng Zhen.

"Changxun and Zhen, help them build their own cave abodes and houses while also building yours. You can use anything in the mountain range, all the trees and such will just regrow in a few years because of the abundant Spirit Qi. So just focus on Cultivation and improve your strength. I'll be going into seclusion for the time being now, you two will be in charge till then." He explained calmly.

He wasn't worried about Mortal resources for these Disciples, as Meng Xing had brought along almost 10 years worth of them this time. He would come here every 10 years to deliver the resources and bring along with few talented Disciples to join the Eternal Peak. That was what they decided back in the Sword Seeking Sect.

Not just that, the entire Mountain range was filled with Spirit Qi, so it could naturally speed up the process of normal plants, fruits, vegetation and such. So they could live here comfortably.

With that, he turned around to leave.

All the Disciples bowed towards his direction.

However, as Jia Changxun remembered his words, he couldn't help but be a little shocked.

Peak Master...he's already at the Ninth Stage of Foundation Establishment Realm. For him to enter seclusion at this moment...

"Is he about to breakthrough to the Acquired Realm!?"
