Chapter 55: The Hall of Transmitted Dharma
The street was quiet, but the fifth rank of Lingwu Realm was defeated by a single move from the third rank of Lingwu Realm. The unexpected outcome left the onlookers in shock, with many people's mouths agape and their minds numb.
Zhang Shan slowly let out a breath and put his sword away in the Xumi ring.
After being tempered by the Road to Heaven, his strength has increased greatly and he has already taken half a step into the Four Levels of Spiritual Martial Arts. The power of this Extinction Slash is also greatly increased.
He didn't draw his sword out of its scabbard, instead using the scabbarded longsword to execute a silent slash, and struck with the side of the scabbard, or else it wouldn't have been as simple as leaving only one bloody mark on Cheng Zisu's body.
He remembered Fang Yiru's words and asked Tianzong disciples to fight without killing, otherwise they would be severely punished by the sect.
Chengzi Xun's bloody wound looked terrifying and he was stunned, but it was only an external injury and not too serious.
Huang Yanfeng's men finally came to their senses and rushed over to help Cheng Zishun up and examine his injuries.
Zhang Shan hummed and didn't bother to deal with these people anymore. He turned around and walked towards Fang Yiru: "Shifu, I'm glad I didn't disappoint you."
Fang Yiru let out a gentle sigh, her mouth curving into a smile as she said, "Watching you defeat your opponents and win the championship in Qingyang City, I knew that your combat strength far surpassed your current level, but I still greatly underestimated it."
"With a glance at the surrounding gazes that looked like they were staring at monsters, Zhang Shan said: 'Let's go, this battle will definitely become a hot topic among the inner disciples tomorrow. You've made a name for yourself, little brother.'"
"If it weren't for him pushing people too far, I wouldn't have wanted this kind of fame."
Zhang Shan shook his head and quickly turned into another street with her, continuing their shopping spree.
After buying all the things, at Zhangshan's request, the two came to the square in front of the entrance of the Maze Sky Forest.
There were two or three thousand people gathered in the square, some of whom were discussing something in small groups, while others strolled around and chatted with each other.
Raising his eyes, he saw that the entrance to the Misty Sky Forest was a mountain pass, only two miles wide. Zhang Shan could still see groups of warriors entering the pass in an orderly manner.
"The entire Mystic Sky Forest is over a million miles deep, with the outer perimeter surrounded by the Thunderstorm Sea. Demonic beasts cannot cross it, and only this southern part, separated from the mainland by the Transverse Mountain Range, has a connection with our sect's controlled territory, about a thousand miles wide."
"In the sea of forests, if a monster wants to come out, it will first encounter my Tian Tian Sect. Therefore, this mountain range is sealed by my sect with the Five Elements Heaven Separation Array, leaving only this mountain pass as an entrance and exit."
Fang Yiru pointed at the mountain pass and told Zhang Shan about it.
"It seems like I saw some other martial artists wearing uniforms from other schools?" Zhang Shan asked after taking a glance.
"Uh, yes. The disciples of the sects that are on good terms with our Tianzong Sect can enter Linhai to hunt and collect medicinal herbs after obtaining permission, but they need to pay a fee in spirit stones." Fang Yiru replied.
"Besides this mountain pass, can't we just cross over from this thousand-mile-wide mountain range?" Zhang Shan asked further.
"The martial artists of our sect's Xuanwu Realm can directly fly over the mountains and enter the forest sea without going through the mountain pass. As for people from other sects, it's not possible. Without the identity jade card of our sect, they will definitely be killed by the great array." Fang Yiru said with a smile.
After lingering for a while, the two of them then went their separate ways back home.
After returning to the sect, Fang Yiru did not return to Qingmu Peak with Zhang Shan, but instead flew in another direction on his spiritual boat.
"We're going to the Transmission Hall now. New disciples can receive three free skills after entering, but it's only limited to the first time. Afterwards, they need to use door contributions to exchange." She said to Zhang Shan.
"The door contribution is the sect's contribution, a form of points. Every month, the disciples of the sect need to pay a certain amount of door contribution, complete the tasks released by the sect, or go to the Mystic Sky Forest Sea to hunt and kill demons and monsters and bring them back to hand in, all of which can earn varying amounts of door contribution."
Before long, a massive mountain peak floating in mid-air appeared before Zhang Shan's eyes, almost making him exclaim out loud.
"Isn't it amazing? I was startled when I first saw it too. I asked Tianzong Wufeng Yishan, and Wufeng said he knew all about it. Yishan pointed out that this is the Floating Mountain, where our sect's main mountain is located, and the Sect Leader and the Supreme Elder reside here."
Fang Yiru landed on the platform at the foot of the Floating Mountain, put away the Lingzhou, and with Zhang Shan, unfolded his body method, heading towards the direction of the Mountain Transmission Temple.
Today's Transmission Hall is bustling with people, all of whom are new disciples led by their senior brothers and sisters to receive their skills.
"I asked Tianzong, the inheritance of which has lasted for ten thousand years. The Dharma Hall is divided into the Main Hall and five sub-halls. Only the secret disciples of our sect and the elders above the peak can enter the Main Hall."
"While the five separate temples correspond to the five peaks, they are named after the five colors of white, green, black, red and yellow. Inner door disciples can only enter the temple corresponding to their own peak to choose their skills, while true transmission disciples can enter all five temples, but taking skills from other temples requires double the door fee."
Fang Yiru took Zhang Shan to the Qing Temple: "Although it was free for the first time, it's only limited to this peak's branch temple, so for now we can only enter the Qing Temple. Later, when you have accumulated enough door contribution points, my junior brother can go take a look at other temples."
Arriving at the entrance of the Qing Temple, Fang Yiru stopped and said: "Junior brother, go in yourself. I'll wait for you outside. The transmission hall's restrictions are connected to the mountain's array method hub, which automatically identifies the disciple's identity jade card. It will recognize that you have permission to receive three free skills."
Zhang Shan nodded in understanding and walked up the steps in front of the hall, then stepped inside.
A flash of light before his eyes, he found himself appearing on a platform floating in the void, outside which was an endless starry sky.
Treading on the platform floor that was as white as jade all over, Zhang Shan looked around and saw a dozen or so stele of different colors standing upright on the platform, their surfaces gleaming with a kaleidoscope of colors.
The stele is engraved with a concise and clear description of the skill method, and at the end of the description, it also indicates the required number of door contributions and identity requirements.
"Hmm, the foundation of the Tianzong is still quite good. Although this is a branch hall, there are some very good techniques here." The voice of Ling suddenly echoed in his mind sea.
"Ah, Ling, you've appeared at just the right time. I was just wondering which one to choose." With a divine teammate like this around, Zhang Shan naturally couldn't wait to ask for advice.
"Each stele is a kung fu skill, the host decides and puts his hand on it to receive the inheritance. The jade stele has the highest grade of kung fu skills, followed by the light gold stele, and the bronze-colored one has the lowest grade." said the Stele Spirit.
Zhang Shan listened and went straight to the jade stele in the center of the platform.
There are thirty-six jade stele in total, which means that there are thirty-six highest-ranking martial arts here.
These jade steles all indicate that except for the true transmission, other disciples according to their identity level, exchange door contribution values accordingly doubled.
"This is the benefit of being a true disciple."
Zhang Shan thought to himself, having looked through all thirty-six jade stele, then asked the Stele Spirit: "You say I should choose which three skill methods?"
