Cultivation Begins with Skill Points - Chapter 509 - 510 East Peak
Chapter 509: Chapter 510 East Peak
“Greetings to the Elder and the Saint Heir.”
As the two descended, many servants quickly approached, kneeling to the ground.
“Hahaha, Master, Junior Brother, you’re back,” Chi Zhonglin’s excited voice came from the distant palace, and his figure quickly ran over.
“Second Senior Brother.”
Zhong Lin greeted with a smile.
Chi Zhonglin excitedly grabbed Zhong Lin’s arm and exclaimed, “Junior Brother, you’re amazing, the Sixth Saint Heir! From now on, our Sword Pavilion not only has two Kings but also two Saint Heirs. In the future, I can walk sideways when I go out.”
“Walking sideways, do you want to be a crab?”
Xi Xuan’s face darkened, slapping the back of Chi Zhonglin’s head displeasedly, “I’ve accepted three disciples, and only you are useless. It’s truly embarrassing to mention, and I’ve almost lost my lifelong reputation because of you. If only I could expel you from the sect.”
Chi Zhonglin stumbled from the slap, quickly dodging behind Zhong Lin and cheerfully said, “Master, I’m also excellent, okay? It’s just that Senior Brother and Junior Brother shine too brightly, making it impossible to surpass them.”
“Hmph!”
Xi Xuan snorted coldly but did not refute. He knew this well enough.
Chi Zhonglin indeed wasn’t lacking, otherwise, he wouldn’t have accepted him into the sect. Having cultivated for less than three hundred years, yet already reaching the Life and Death Realm is nothing short of genius anywhere, it’s just that the other two disciples shine too brightly, overshadowing his presence.
Chi Zhonglin, holding Zhong Lin’s arm, pointed at the kneeling servants and said, “Your Saint Son Peak is too desolate. These are some servants I brought from Golden Scale Peak to handle some sundry tasks for you. You can also recruit some Inner and Outer Sect Disciples from Heavenly Sword City or bring some from secular families, which is a benefit for True Disciples from the sect. But not too many.”
Zhong Lin nodded. Indeed, the Heavenly Sword Holy Land adopted such a model as a benefit for True Disciples. That’s why so many people try to get into Heavenly Sword Holy Land, hoping that one day if they become True Disciples, they can uplift their family, gaining prominence and stature.
That’s how Heavenly Sea Country was established. Back then, it was because the ancestor of the Yu family from Heavenly Sea Country became a True Disciple that the family gradually prospered, eventually establishing Heavenly Sea Country.
Recruiting Outer and even Inner Sect Disciples to the mountain is similar; most of these people want to curry favor with the True Disciples to reap benefits or get guidance in cultivation, which is always beneficial, so they’re naturally willing to come to the mountain.
One wants to flatter True Disciples, and the other needs people to work—together, they create the current situation.
The Saint Heir is one level above a True Disciple, so if Zhong Lin wishes, he only needs to call, and people willing to come to his mountain could line up from the foot of the mountain all the way to Heavenly Sword City.
At this moment, Zhong Lin suddenly had the urge to visit Luoxing Islands and bring some talented individuals over.
How are the Sect Master and Master doing now?
It’s also time to go back once more.
When I came, I was merely at the Transcendent Realm, without even forming a Xuandan, but now I’ve reached the Sixth Layer of the Life and Death Realm, capable of crossing the sea without worrying about shipwrecks.
“Junior Brother, what do you want to name this peak? How about calling it Hualong Peak, as they say, a golden scale is no mere thing, and with the encounter of wind and clouds, it transforms into a dragon. By then, our two senior brothers could achieve invincibility when combining their swords… ”
Before he could finish speaking, a gust of palm wind struck, and Chi Zhonglin was sent flying without even a chance to dodge.
“Troublesome disciple!”
Xi Xuan, knowing Chi Zhonglin always says “a golden scale is no mere thing,” didn’t expect him to still be trapping his junior brother with it now, was so angry that his hair stood on end, feeling a strong urge to clear out this troublemaker.
Zhong Lin dared not plead for Chi Zhonglin at this moment and quickly changed the topic: “I was born on a solitary island in the East Sea, luckily graced by Martial Arts. Through perseverance I achieved some success, then sailed westward seeking the Dao, overcoming hardships, and by Master’s kindness entered the Sword Pavilion, leading to today’s achievements. This mountain serves as my resting place, in memory of the past, it shall be called East Peak!”
Rustling sound!
Chi Zhonglin climbed out of the rubble, shaking his head, “This mountain is obviously located in the west of Heavenly Sword Sacred Land, why call it East Peak? Also, it’s too ordinary, not pleasant to the ear.”
“Then I’ll add the word King once I seal the king,” Zhong Lin said with a smile.
“East King Peak? It’s still not pleasant to hear, but better than East Peak, just acceptable!”
Chi Zhonglin still found it unpleasant, but didn’t argue further. Though he’s the senior brother, he knows when enough is enough.
Xi Xuan took a deep look at his little disciple; his eyes were profound.
The seemingly ordinary “East” character actually conceals an aura of arrogance and dominance.
Even among kings, distinctions exist, like the “One-Character King” and the “Two-Character King” among mundane dynasties.
The One-Character King, also called the “One-Word Shoulder King,” is by no means comparable to those foreign-sealed Two-Character Kings.
Moreover, the land beneath is called “Eastern Desolate,” and using East as a title shows Zhong Lin’s ambition.
His First Disciple is reticent, his Second Disciple is lively, and unexpectedly, his Third Disciple is the most ambitious. Compared to that, the Second one is more lovable, with less scheming.
Looking at the still cheerful Second Disciple, Xi Xuan sighed.
“Naive is as naive does! Naïve people have naïve blessings. Having these two brothers protect him for a lifetime in peace isn’t bad.”
After seeing off his Master and brothers, Zhong Lin took steps through East Peak alone. There he saw pavilions and towers, magnificent and splendid, all newly built.
The mountain was even linked with Earth Fire, connected with primordial Qi through secret arts, forming Geomancy Fire, an ideal flame for alchemy.
Additionally, this mountain lay at the node of the Primordial Vein of Heavenly Sword Holy Land, the concentration of Heaven and Earth Essence Qi incomparable to other True Inheritor Peaks. Though not quite a day’s journey to success, it’s a rare Cave Heaven Blessed Land for cultivation.
The only downside is its overly serene, though lush with forests and green throughout, it lacks spiritual birds and beasts.
“No hurry, take it slowly. Later, I’ll recruit some disciples to help manage the peak.”
After strolling around, Zhong Lin arrived at the Training Hall, sitting cross-legged, and began cultivating with closed eyes.
“System!”

After forming his Sword Heart, the system panel significantly cleared up. All swordsmanship skills merged into the “Sword Domain,” underpinning which any swordsmanship between Heaven and Earth no longer posed as daunting as a mountain to him.
