Before Lu Qing and Wubao Taoist arrived at the mountain peak.
They discovered that it was shorter by a large margin because the top half had been artificially sliced off.
This made the current mountaintop a wide, flat platform.
The two descended and saw that there were already many people sitting cross-legged on the platform, facing the three characters "Tianshu City."
Some were meditating, while others stared intently at the opposite side, looking entranced.
Clearly, these people were also prehending the Dao insight within the calligraphy of "Tianshu City."
After all, although the legend of the Sword Dao Divine Power’s inheritance is elusive and intangible,
the Sword Dao insight contained in this calligraphy is quite substantial.
The Sword Dao insight left by a Primordial Spirit Great Power of Five Tribulations is extraordinary.
If they can gain a bit of understanding from it, it would be of immense benefit to their cultivation.
Lu Qing and the Taoist quietly landed on the platform without disturbing the others too much.
Apart from a few cultivators who looked up at them, most continued contemplating the calligraphy without paying attention to the newers.
After all, those who could e to this Observation Peak had no other purpose than to prehend the Dao insights in the calligraphy.
Also, since this was already within the borders of Tianshu City, ordinary people would not dare to cause trouble here.
Seeing this, Lu Qing and the Taoist sensibly planned to find a more secluded corner to continue their prehension.
However, at that moment, Lu Qing heard a surprised, delighted call: "Brother Chen!"
He paused for a moment and looked towards the source of the voice.
He saw several familiar figures looking at him with joy.
They were the very disciples of the Qiankun Sect he had rescued not long ago.
"Did you encounter someone familiar?" Wubao Taoist couldn’t help but ask.
"We met once."
Lu Qing was quite surprised as he watched the young people quickly approaching him.
Hadn’t these people gone back to their Sect to recuperate? How did they get ahead and arrive at Tianshu City even before him?
He remembered that the location of the Qiankun Sect was not within the Tianshu Continent.
"Brother Chen, I didn’t expect we’d meet again so soon."
The girl, or rather, Chu Xiaoqing, ran up to Lu Qing with great happiness.
"Greetings, Mr. Chen."
Senior Sister Ye and the youths in purple also saluted Lu Qing respectfully.
Particularly Senior Sister Ye, whose eyes also held a touch of surprise.
Before ing to Tianshu Continent, she had imagined whether she would meet Lu Qing again.
She didn’t expect that as soon as she arrived, she would indeed encounter him.
Seeing this scene, Wubao Taoist was slightly taken aback.
From the marks on the purple-clad youths’ robes, he guessed that they were disciples of the Qiankun Sect.
The Qiankun Sect was no small or disreputable sect.
It was quite renowned across the Heavenly Origin Great World and could be considered a first-rate Major Sect.
Yet these elite disciples of such a Major Sect seemed to show great respect to Lu Qing.
This greatly surprised Wubao Taoist, and Lu Qing’s mystery deepened in his heart.
"Everyone, I didn’t expect we’d meet again so soon," Lu Qing politely said.
"Mr. Chen, are you also here for the secret realm of the Tianshu Divine Mountain?" the young man in purple asked.
"Correct, while traveling, I heard that a new secret realm was about to emerge near the Tianshu Divine Mountain, so I came to have a look,"
Lu Qing did not deny it and answered frankly.
"That’s perfect. We also plan to enter the secret realm. Brother Chen, why don’t we venture together?" Chu Xiaoqing said happily.
Upon hearing this, the Wubao Taoist, who had been smiling and watching them chat, had a slight change in his expression.
Before Lu Qing could answer, he quickly said, "Folks, Mr. Chen has already decided to explore the secret realm with me, so it might not be right to join you."
"And this is..."
Only then did Chu Xiaoqing and the others notice the plump Taoist standing beside Lu Qing.
"My Taoist name is Wubao, greetings to you all," Wubao Taoist saluted.
"Wubao Taoist?"
The young man in purple and the others, upon hearing this Taoist name, thought about it but realized they had never heard of it.
But given how vast the Heavenly Origin Great World is and how countless cultivators exist, even many outstanding practitioners are uncountable,
it’s normal for them not to have heard of him.
Thus, they did not neglect him and saluted Wubao Taoist, saying, "Greetings, Wubao Taoist."
"Wubao Taoist, did you just say Brother Chen is entering the secret realm with you?" Chu Xiaoqing asked.
"Um..."
Wubao Taoist was at a loss for words and couldn’t help but look at Lu Qing.
His earlier words were merely a spur-of-the-moment thought, and he dared not cross the line now.
Lu Qing found it amusing.
Although he hadn’t formally agreed to enter the secret realm with Wubao Taoist, he did not expose him at this moment.
He merely nodded slightly, "Indeed, Wubao Taoist and I hit it off well, so we decided to explore the secret realm together."
"That doesn’t stop us from going together. The more, the merrier," Chu Xiaoqing continued.
Lu Qing did not answer and merely smiled.
Senior Sister Ye then lightly scolded, "Xiaoqing, don’t be reckless. We still need to meet up with Senior Brother, so we can’t disturb Mr. Chen anymore."
"Yes, Senior Sister," Chu Xiaoqing said, pouting slightly in grievance.
Senior Brother?
Hearing this, Lu Qing felt a bit moved.
He recalled a certain note he had investigated on Li Motian.
"Mr. Chen, Xiaoqing likes to be playful. Please don’t mind her," Senior Sister Ye apologized to Lu Qing.
Lu Qing shook his head, "It’s nothing, Ye. Please, don’t worry."
