C913 He Calmly Stepped Forward
"There are so many people in your Myriad Sword Sect, and most of them are cultivator below the Divine Ability Stage. Where did your food come from?" Lin Cheng suddenly asked while walking on the mountain path.
If one reached the Divine Ability Stage, they would naturally be able to survive without eating. They would have long reached the state of fasting.
Even if he was at the Incarnation Stage, his need for food would be greatly reduced, but he still needed to eat.
Not to mention Core Sea Stage, the servants, and even the family members of some disciples.
Along the way, Lin Cheng noticed that there were a lot of ordinary people on the mountain. They should be the family members of some disciples. Naturally, they also wanted to eat, but with so many people, where did the food come from?
The disciple was startled. After hesitating for a moment, he said, "This... The source of our food naturally has a manager in charge. There is also a fertile land in our sect."
"So that's how it is."
Lin Cheng nodded and smiled. Although this person spoke vaguely, he could hear that some food from the Unification Sect must have been purchased from the outside.
Perhaps a portion of the farmland on this mountain would be used to grow crops. However, the land here had been nourished by spiritual energy. Naturally, it was not something that could be compared with the outside world. If it was only used to grow crops... It would be a waste. The best choice would be to use it to grow Spirit Herba. At the same time, he could also raise some spirit beasts.
However, this person spoke vaguely, clearly unwilling to tell him the details. However, due to his pressure, he didn't dare to say anything, so he could only pass along with his words.
However, this person didn't know that even if he only said one sentence, Lin Cheng could hear a lot from it.
However, the following disciple felt a little more relaxed, because Lin Cheng didn't ask any more questions. He just followed behind him steadily and steadily.
In the mountain trail, the two of them seemed very inconspicuous. The surrounding ancient trees were tall and lush. Compared to the outside world, this place didn't seem to have the four seasons, making them feel incomparably comfortable.
Lin Cheng seemed to enjoy the tranquility of this place very much. His expression was very calm, as if he was taking a stroll in the park.
This made the disciple who passed the message to him nervous, but he couldn't help but admire him in his heart.
Although he was afraid, in reality, he was still confident. Naturally, the Myriad Sword Sect wouldn't be afraid of Lin Cheng, because there were many powerful experts in the sect. Especially those powerful warriors, their cultivation base wouldn't be any weaker than Lin Cheng's.
Furthermore, there was a Supreme Being in the sect, so its power was naturally even more terrifying.
Even if Lin Cheng was a Supreme Being, he wouldn't be able to gain any advantages in the Myriad Sword Sect. Otherwise, anyone would be able to slaughter their way in and out of the Myriad Sword Sect as they pleased. There was no need for the Myriad Sword Sect to exist anymore, and it was even more impossible for them to stand tall in the Cultivation Realm of Dongzhou for so many years.
If he was Lin Cheng, he definitely wouldn't be able to remain so calm. He might have been incomparably nervous and wouldn't have come up the mountain.
However, he still had some admiration for Lin Cheng in his heart. Not only because Lin Cheng was a mighty figure, but also because Lin Cheng had such courage. Not everyone had such courage and boldness.
As far as he knew, no matter if it was the elder of Zuo Mu or the other experts of Myriad Sword Sect, no one would dare to go to any other sect so brazenly, especially the hostile ones.
Even some Divine Ability Stage core disciples didn't dare to go out and gather resources. Especially recently, those rogue cultivators in the outside world had started to work together. Attacking the disciples of the sect, snatching cultivation techniques and resources, etc. This caused many core disciples to bring along a lot of Follower when they went out, and they didn't even bring the lowest grade of Cultivation Level.
However, Lin Cheng was different. He dared to break into the Myriad Sword Sect all by himself, and he didn't even try to hide his identity. His action was filled with courage and courage, making people admire him.
Furthermore, Lin Cheng was only a disciple of the Unification Sect in the past. His deeds had already spread across the entire Cultivation Realm of Dongzhou, because he had been bullied by his fellow disciples. He had betrayed the Unification Sect in a fit of rage and became a rogue cultivator, but he wasn't hunted to death. Instead, he had risen up and fought his way here.
In the end, he had even become a mighty figure that shook the entire Cultivation Realm of Dongzhou. Even the Myriad Sword Sect had to pay attention to him. It could even be said that they were facing a formidable enemy.
Such battle achievements and elegant bearing really made people admire him.
At least, in all these years in the Dongzhou, no one had been able to achieve such a feat.
If Lin Cheng was a member of the Myriad Sword Sect, it would be great. It would be equivalent to the Myriad Sword Sect having an extra powerful expert. Naturally, they would be more confident when facing the Great Devil.
Besides, perhaps all the disciples in the sect, including himself, would have the chance to become Lin Cheng's disciple. What was he thinking? Lin Cheng was the enemy of the sect.
The disciple shook his head and stopped thinking about these things.
At this moment, Zuo Mu was also feeling complicated.
"Why aren't you here yet?"
On the mountain.
Zuo Mu frowned. The man who called himself Lin Cheng had been in the mountain for quite some time, but he had yet to arrive. This made him a little impatient.
Especially the relationship between that man and Lin Cheng, and whether his judgment was true or not, all of these were still unknown to him.
"Could it be that something has happened?" Steward Chen was in charge of Zuo Mu's mansion. He was currently communicating with Zuo Mu using the spiritual sense, but his heart was somewhat perturbed. What kind of person had come this time? Even Zuo Mu had to hide?
Although according to what Zuo Mu said, it seemed like it was inappropriate for him to meet this person directly, but with Steward Chen's understanding of Zuo Mu, the matter was not as simple as it seemed.
Before knowing the identity of the person who had come, it wasn't easy to know how to deal with him or how to deal with him.
Of course, Steward Chen didn't think too much about it, nor did he think that there might be danger. After all, this was the Myriad Sword Sect. Not to mention a mere person, even if another sect attacked, it wouldn't be too dangerous.
With the foundation of the Myriad Sword Sect, as long as it wasn't the Great Devil from the Boundless Forest, there wouldn't be any problem.
"Steward Chen, you have to find out the purpose of their visit when they arrive, especially their identity. I will deal with the rest of them myself." Zuo Mu said via divine sense.
"Yes!"
Steward Chen nodded, then asked, "Elder Zuo, how's the Cultivation Level?"
Zuo Mu was stunned for a moment, then said, "The Cultivation Level shouldn't be very high, but we don't know the exact details."
After the disciple told him Lin Cheng's name, he had been in a state of shock and panic. He didn't even have the time to ask about the Cultivation Level of the person called Lin Cheng.
When he heard Steward Chen's question, he really didn't know how to answer it.
"If that's the case..."
Steward Chen frowned and said, "Although I am also a Divine Ability Stage, elder, your realm is higher, and you are very dignified. I might not be able to impersonate you. Perhaps that person will see through me with just a glance."
To be able to become a steward, his Cultivation Level was naturally not low. He was also a Divine Ability Stage.
However, a steward was different from an elder. An elder was a high and mighty figure who held the power of life and death. His dignity was very heavy, and this was not something a steward like him could compare with.
Furthermore, although both of them were Divine Ability Stage, Zuo Mu was already a Peak of Divine Ability Stage, while he was only a Second Level Divine Ability Stage. The gap between their cultivation realms was just too great.
If the person who came had a sharp eyesight, he would be able to tell that the person wasn't an elder with just a glance.
"The person who came shouldn't have seen me before, he won't be able to see through me."
Zuo Mu said, "Besides, I'm nearby. I can act according to the situation."
It was precisely because Steward Chen's Cultivation Level was also at the Divine Ability Stage that he allowed Steward Chen to impersonate him.
Furthermore, Zuo Mu also wanted to meet the person who had impersonated Lin Cheng. He wanted to see who it was, the person who had a good relationship with that trash, or the person who had ulterior motives.
"That's good, that's good too."
Steward Chen nodded his head. He would naturally be happy to use this opportunity to build a good relationship with Zuo Mu.
Although he was the steward of Myriad Sword Sect, a steward like him... There were many elders in Myriad Sword Sect, but not many of them were elders. Especially in this troubled period, if he could be on good terms with Zuo Mu... Perhaps, there would be unexpected benefits at that time.
Steward Chen was naturally aware of some of the actions of the Myriad Sword Sect.
However, he did not know the exact details. Only the higher ups of the sect knew about this. As the steward, of course, I do follow the orders of the elders. But... After all, he was a Divine Ability Stage steward, and his status was only slightly lower than those Divine Ability Stage core disciples and personal disciples. That was also because he didn't have much potential, which was why he focused on other matters.2
It was precisely because of this that the status of these stewards in the sect was actually very awkward.
In terms of Cultivation Level, they might not be able to improve any further. In terms of status, even though they had some dignity within the sect, they could not compare to those core disciples and personal disciples, let alone elders.
However, those core disciples and personal disciples had great potential. Furthermore, almost all of them had already built their own residences, and they had quite a number of Followers under them. This was something that the stewards like them could not compare with.
An elder like Zuo Mu had his own personal disciple. At the same time, he also held quite a lot of power. This was something that none of them, the stewards, could compare with.
However, if he were to rely on the elders like the other disciples, or even become a Follower, they would not be able to lower their status. Hence, their position would always be rather awkward.
Therefore, if they could get on Zuo Mu's good side now, even if they did not become his Follower, it might bring them a lot of benefits.
However, at this moment, the two of them did not know that Lin Cheng, who they were discussing, was standing at the foot of a mountain and looking around.
"Sir, why aren't you continuing? We haven't arrived yet." The disciple couldn't help but ask.
"That should be the main peak right?" Lin Cheng looked at the towering mountain that towered into the clouds and asked.
"Yes."
The disciple nodded.
Lin Cheng silently smiled, his eyes fell on the mountain peak, and a bright light flashed across his eyes.
In fact, along the way, almost all the mountains were tall and majestic. It was not easy to tell which one was the main peak. However, it wasn't difficult for Lin Cheng.
Because, he could clearly sense that there was a different formation on this mountain. Even the Spirit-cohering Array at the outermost layer was very shocking and had strong fluctuations.
It was imaginable that the spiritual energy within the Spirit-cohering Array was incomparably dense.
