Peerless Taoist

He was also very cautious in his heart. He did not show that he knew nothing about this place and asked about the situation on the Spirit Mountain Continent in a tactful manner.    

Fortunately, Lu Yu had already said that he was a cultivator living in seclusion outside the realm, so he did not arouse anyone's suspicion.    

"How could there be an Immortal? There had never been an Immortal in the history of the Spirit Mountain Continent. That was a legendary existence, and many people would never be able to reach it in their entire lives." Yin Yue shook her head and said.    

Yin Yue was very talkative. Perhaps she knew that Lu Yu was a hermit and did not know what was going on in the outside world, so she told Lu Yu everything she knew.    

From Yin Yue's description, Lu Yu gradually understood the situation in the Spirit Mountain Continent.    

The nine strongest Immortal Sects in the Spirit Mountain Continent usually had Dao Integration Realm cultivators. They were the pillars of the Immortal Sects and the key to their dominance.    

There were many mortal nations and small sects in the Spirit Mountain continent, all of which were under the rule of the Nine Great Immortal Sects, and these forces regularly paid a certain amount of tribute to ensure their own safety.    

There had been changes and chaos in this continent before, but the current situation of the Nine Great Immortal Sects had been maintained for several hundred years without being broken.    

The outside of the Spiritual Mountain Continent was still a void of darkness, waiting for all beings to explore.    

In the darkness, there were extremely fierce demons. They were completely controlled by bloodthirstiness and killing, and they had no emotions at all. It was as if the meaning of their existence was to kill all beings in the world.    

Lu Yu's heart skipped a beat. He asked when those demons had appeared.    

"There are good and evil in this world. Those demons have existed since ancient times. According to the ancient records, no one knows the origin of those monsters."    

Yin Yue didn't know much either. According to her, many ancient books were incomplete and history couldn't be verified.    

There might have been people who had become immortals, but those were ancient legends. No one in the world had ever seen what immortals looked like, and there were even many people on the Spirit Mountain continent who believed that the Dao Integration Stage was the end of cultivation.    

"Is there any Buddhism in the Spirit Mountain Continent?" Lu Yu asked.    

"Buddhist sect... What is that?"    

Yin Yue opened her eyes wide and looked at Lu Yu curiously.    

It was as if Lu Yu was saying an unfamiliar word.    

"Don't you know about Buddhism?" Lu Yu frowned slightly.    

He had come here because he had heard the voice of the Buddha. He had thought that the Spirit Mountain continent was connected to Buddhism, but he hadn't expected that the people here didn't even know about Buddhism.    

Hearing Lu Yu's description, Yin Yue fell into deep thought and then shook her head. "I'm afraid this is just a small sect. They shave their hair and cultivate bitterly, fasting and eating meat. Some small sects have this kind of rule, but those sects won't be very big."    

Seeing that Yin Yue knew nothing about it, Lu Yu did not ask any further. Instead, he asked for some other details.    

According to Yin Yue, their Master of the Immortal Platform Sect was an expert at the middle-stage of the Dao Integration Stage. As for Yin Yue's Master, he was an elder of the Immortal Platform Sect and also had the cultivation level of the early stage of the Dao Integration Stage.    

"Senior's cultivation level is profound. Could it be that you are also a Dao Integration Stage cultivator?" Yin Yue sized up Lu Yu, as if she wanted to find something from him.    

Unfortunately, Lu Yu had the appearance of a refined scholar, and his body did not emit even a trace of magic power. If Lu Yu had not killed all the demons in an instant, no one would have treated him as a cultivator.    

"Dao Integration Stage..." Lu Yu shook his head and did not explain.    

Seeing that Lu Yu was not going to answer, Yin Yue did not make a fuss about it.    

After all, everyone in the cultivation world had their own secrets. No one would take the initiative to tell others about their strength.    

They moved quickly, and in the blink of an eye, a vast land appeared before their eyes.    

The Spiritual Mountain Continent was huge, and it was about the same size as the Imperial Capital Planet. There were thirty-three continents, and each continent had different geography and culture. They were all divided up by the Nine Immortal Sects.    

In contrast to the coldness from the surrounding darkness, the Spiritual Mountain Continent was full of trees and there were people everywhere. It was full of life.    

In the air above the Spiritual Mountain Continent, there was a thick cloud that covered the entire continent. Looking from afar, it was like an island in the mist, and it was hard to find.    

In the midst of this cloud there were floating pillboxes, and in and out came flying ships and cultivators on magical weapons. The air was heavy with tension.    

"This is the defensive base of our Immortal Platform Sect. As one of the top forces of the Spiritual Mountain Continent, not only do we accept offerings from other forces, we also have the responsibility to protect the Spiritual Mountain Continent."    

Yin Yue pointed at the floating pillboxes in front of her and smiled confidently, "These pillboxes have a perfect defense system. There are a total of nine lines of defense on the Spiritual Mountain Continent, and our Immortal Platform Sect is responsible for one of them. "    

"There are cities within the pillboxes, and there are over ten thousand cultivators guarding them. Each pillbox is guarded by an elder of our Immortal Platform Sect, and they can be said to be like an iron wall that blocks the attacks of the demons."    

"I, Master, am the Grand Elder of the Immortal Stage Sect. The fortress she oversees is the relatively large Flying Dragon Castle among these fortresses. Senior, you saved our lives. I have nothing to repay you with, so I plan to ask Master for a waist plate. If you become a consecrate of our Immortal Dais Sect, you can travel unhindered across the entire Spirit Mountain continent."    

As if sensing Lu Yu's gaze, Yin Yue explained, "Don't worry, there are no restrictions on my Immortal Platform Sect's position. You just need to register."    

Lu Yu nodded. "Alright."    

Since he had just arrived, he needed an identity to make it easier for him to walk around.    

"Alright, Senior, please come this way." Yin Yue was overjoyed.    

She knew Lu Yu's strength very well. Even if he wasn't in the Dao Integration Stage, he was probably about the same. According to the standards, he was definitely stronger than her.    

If she could recruit this expert, it would definitely be a great merit!    

They were moving fast, and soon they were within the perimeter of the Flying Dragon Castle. Outside the fortress there were many monks patrolling, their faces grim, as if they would strike at the first sign of trouble.    

After checking Yin Yue's waist plate, they immediately let her pass. Their expressions were even more respectful, as if Yin Yue's status here was quite high.    

As soon as they entered the Flying Dragon Castle, they heard a wave of noise.    

It was different from the outside world. There was still a vast city hidden within, and in front of him was a long street lined with all kinds of shops.
