Chapter 206 – Pure Spirit Lotus Flower

TL: Sponsored chapter (2/2). Thanks for your support everyone ??

Cloud Abyss Peak was tall and imposing, standing majestically amidst the pervasive rolling mist.

Profound Resonance Hall was the main hall of Cloud Abyss Peak, and was also given to Soul Suppressor Sacred Son by the Shangqing Sacred Sect. The front of the hall was surrounded by a series of beautiful, lofty pavilions that encircled the Clear Resonance Pond. It was filled with duckweed and pure spirit lotus flowers, and when they bloomed, they cast jade-colored reflections across the surface, making for a beautiful sight.

“Greetings to Soul Suppressor Sacred Son.” Chu Luo and Ma Chen brought in the elegant Sea of Qi stage maids into Profound Resonance Hall and bowed their heads respectfully.

The maids were trembling with fear. They spoke their greetings in unison towards the youth in the white and gold robe seated in the hall’s seat of honor, their gentle tones resonating quietly throughout the hall. “Greetings to Soul Suppressor Sacred Son.”

Xu Disheng put down the dark green jade slip in his hand. He looked up, sweeping his gaze over the few maids. The look in his eyes was calm as he asked, “I asked you to bring some subordinates to handle menial tasks. Why did you come back with these maids?”

His tone was flat, neither anger nor joy discernible within.

Ma Chen’s head was lowered, but beads of sweat began to form on his forehead.

Chu Luo was inwardly nervous and it showed a bit on his face. He came forward and said, “We specially handpicked these maids for you. As for subordinates to handle menial tasks... we haven’t gotten around to that yet.”

Lightly flicking the white sleeves of his robe that were trimmed with gold, Xu Disheng said, “Take these maids away and just assign them off to the disciples of the Peak. Then, go to the Wenyuan Mountain Range right away and purchase some servant workers for Cloud Abyss Peak.”

“As you wish, Soul Suppressor Sacred Son,” Chu Luo and the others said, bowing respectfully before leaving the hall.

As Xu Disheng gazed at the few dozen jade slips that were sitting on the table, emitting a dark green glow, his brows creased slightly.

Ever since personally taking charge of a Mountain Peak, the amount of cultivation resources he had been given was indeed massive, far more than he could have imagined.

But at the same time, the trifling, miscellaneous matters related to managing the Peak that he had to worry about were both varied and overly abundant. If he spent all of his time on these miscellaneous tasks, it would definitely negatively influence his cultivation.

His instructions to Chu Luo and the others to purchase some servant workers were also due to the demands of the Sacred Sect’s regulations.

A Mountain Peak belonging to a Sacred Son had to have at least a hundred Deacons, intermediary disciples, and servants in total. Xu Disheng didn’t care much for all this, but now it was mandatory for him to comply with these regulations due to his status as a Sacred Son.

That was why Xu Disheng went to Falling Moon Peak to see Celestial Tide Spirit Master as soon as he was conferred rule over Cloud Abyss Peak. He asked for some Sea of Qi stage disciples with satisfactory levels of talent to fill the numbers, but it still wasn’t enough. After that, he decided to go to Morning Dew Peak and ended up bringing over quite a few people. Only then did he manage to finally scrounge up over 100 disciples, fulfilling the population quota.

These people were actually all very willing to come along. After all, Xu Disheng had just been conferred the title of Soul Suppressor Sacred Son, and he had sole control over the Peak’s share of cultivation resources. They were overall very excited to follow him and ride on his coattails to greater heights.

While there were enough disciples in the Peak, subordinates and servants were must-haves. There were many cities in the Wenyuan Mountain Range with quite a few Xiantian stage martial artists. It was only proper for him to buy more servants to round out the Peak’s workforce.

As for the spirit stones given to Chu Luo and the others to buy servants, Xu Disheng had never once cared about how much they pocketed afterwards.

He was a Sacred Son now, and was single-handedly ruling over a Peak, so it was in his best interest to be generous in grace and authority, leveraging leniency and severity where it was necessary. If he always split hairs and fussed over these worthless matters, how would he have time left in the day to do anything else?

In terms of profound cultivation, Xu Disheng was now at the Dao Foundation stage. His eyes were now turned towards the Shan Mountain Congregation, which wasn’t far away. He was now looking towards the presiding Spirit Masters of the Mingxin Mountain Range, the Primordial Lords of the Shangqing Sacred Sect’s Yuluo Realm, and the boundlessly vast Human Realm!

... ...

“Senior Martial Brother Chu, this is all my fault. I should have guessed that the Sacred Son wouldn’t like this. The Sacred Son was inches away from punishing you!” Ma Chen said. He was following Chu Luo out of Profound Resonance Hall. When he regained his bearings, his expression and tone were filled with a lingering fear.

Chu Luo shook his head and replied, “It’s fine. You all haven’t been following Senior Marti—Soul Suppressor Sacred Son for very long, but he actually won’t care about these small things. He won’t mind, but we absolutely must arrange for these servants soon, or Yuan Qi and those shameful bastards will make a show of it.”

Ma Chen nodded in agreement, then turned around to look at the majestically towering Profound Resonance Hall. He sighed emotionally and said, “After the Sacred Son broke through to the Dao Foundation stage in the Luminous Cloud Abyss and now took up his role as Peak Master, his aura has become even more profound. Just now when I was in Profound Resonance Hall, I was captivated by his dignity and didn’t even dare to speak before him.”

“Cloud Abyss Peak was just established, and the Sacred Son is an unparalleled genius. Although we weren’t the first to follow him, we can’t be considered late either. There’ll be good days for us to come,” Chu Luo said, a look flashing through his eyes as if he thought of something.

Cloud Abyss Peak was about standard in terms of Mountain Peaks among Sacred Sons, and was already several times stronger than the Peaks of most ordinary Dao Foundation stage Peak Masters. It was still inferior, however, to Mountain Peaks that were home to Divine Core stage Spirit Masters’ domains. In the Mingxin Mountain Range, Cloud Abyss Peak was ranked 21st.

Even Morning Dew Peak, where Xu Disheng was before, couldn’t be compared with the strength of Cloud Abyss Peak.

The Clear Resonance Pond was Cloud Abyss Peak’s greatest treasure.

Morning Dew Peak had a 10,000-year old pine tree native to its soil, which produced dew that could slightly increase one’s lifespan. But on Cloud Abyss Peak, there were extremely precious pure spirit lotus flowers growing in Clear Resonance Pond. These pure spirit lotus flowers had many miraculous effects, such as helping to suppress heart demons, consolidating one’s Dao Path, increasing one’s resistance to illusion-type spells, and allowing one to concentrate and calm their mind.

These pure spirit lotus flowers would only grow in Clear Resonance Pond. It was brought to the Shangqing Sacred Sect many years ago by a Peak Master, and through the benefits provided by the Clear Resonance Pond and the pure spirit lotus flowers, he managed to raise the standard of Cloud Abyss Peak by two grades.

... ...

Xu Disheng walked out of Profound Resonance Hall and flicked his sleeves. A spiritual beast appeared in front of him, looking somewhat like a cross between a lion and a tiger, hiding a watery blue glow beneath the surface of its body. It was a suanni spiritual beast, raised in Affairs Hall’s Spiritual Beast Pavilion. It gave a low roar, sending the nearby clouds and mist tumbling away.

(TL: A suanni is a mythical creature in Chinese culture that is often depicted as a lion-like animal with scales and horns. It’s often described as being a cross between a lion and a dragon, but here the author says it’s a lion and tiger mix.)

Crystal clear blue profound qi shone through the suanni’s body, reflecting its bearing as a divine steed. It was extremely obedient towards Xu Disheng, lowering its head toward him.

This spiritual beast was a steed given to him by Clearheart Peak. Its profound cultivation was the equivalent of... a human peak Dao Foundation stage cultivator!

When the suanni was standing on all fours, it was around 10 meters tall. It knelt down and let Xu Disheng on its back, then let out a roar. Watery blue profound light flowed around its body as it flew up into the skies. It soared through the clouds in a streak of blue light, disappearing into the mist.

Halfway up Cloud Abyss Peak, there were many beautiful pavilions.

Bai Zhehua looked up, catching sight of the blue streak cutting across the sky. A complicated look appeared in his gaze.

Despite being the son of Bai Honghua, a Dao Foundation stage Deacon of Morning Dew Peak, he had proactively requested to follow Xu Disheng to Cloud Abyss Peak. For the time being, he was an ordinary intermediary disciple on Cloud Abyss Peak.

Although there was a colossal difference in his status compared to before, he had hopes of becoming the first Dao Foundation stage Deacon of Cloud Abyss Peak!

After all, in the entire Cloud Abyss Peak, Xu Disheng was the only one at the Dao Foundation stage. Even though only a short time had passed since its founding, several factions had already formed. They were often engaged in petty and narrow-minded quarrels, but they all attached themselves to Xu Disheng, Soul Suppressor Sacred Son.

If he could break through to the Dao Foundation stage earlier than these people, he would definitely be appointed by Soul Suppressor Sacred Son as the first Dao Foundation stage Deacon. Since the Sacred Son never cared much for miscellaneous tasks, the authority he would hold in Cloud Abyss Peak would be massive, second only to the Sacred Son himself!

It was thousands of times better to be here than continue to struggle in Morning Dew Peak, where the share of resources were already completely divided up beyond their capacity!

But could Bai Zhehua really accomplish what he desired here on Cloud Abyss Peak?
