After a few minutes of thinking, Tian Long decided to save the remaining one million sect merit points since he didn't really need to buy anything right now.
After rechecking everything inside the Celestial Mountain, Tian Long reappeared back in his villa.
There were only a few hours till the sun rises so he decided to cultivate his techniques alongside the automatic cultivation function of the system while waiting.
From the {Ancient Dragon Force Technique}, to {Universal Origin Body Technique} then to {Everlasting-Soul Manual} and so on up to his newly obtained {Imperishable Blood Art}, Tian Long circulated and cultivated them, hoping to quicken their progress and level them up faster.
He received the {Imperishable Blood Art} a few days ago and with the help of the automatic cultivation function, the technique was on the verge of leveling up. And after circulating the technique a few more times, Tian Long found out that the experience needed for it to level up has reached its quota.
However, he then came across a problem.
_______________________
{Imperishable Blood Art} Level 1 = ( 1,000 / 1,000 ). Blood Essence collected = 0 / 10
_______________________
"System, please explain the blood essence part in the Imperishable Blood Art." said Tian Long.
[ Ding! Once the host slays creatures with the same cultivation as him, the host will be able to automatically gain their blood essence which the host will then need to cultivate the {Imperishable Blood Art}. ]
"...so this means that without the obtaining the needed amount of blood essence, I won't be able to reach the next level of the blood art?" he asked.
[ Ding! Correct. ]
Tian Long sighed when he heard the system's confirmation. "It seems that I really need to leave this place and start our journey."
...
Morning.
Lin Hui Yin, Jian Chen, Chu Feng, Long Wang, Long Xue, and Zhuang Yan entered Tian Long's villa per his order.
Tian Long had told them a few days ago that he was going to show them something that they'll love so they couldn't hold their curiosity and arrived early in the morning to see what exactly the surprise was.
"Miss Lin, what do you think the sect master is planning to show us?" asked Long Xue as she tilted her head cutely.
Chu Feng, Long Wang, and Zhuang Yan all perked their ears when they heard Long Xue's question. They all wondered what their sect master was planning.
Lin Hui Yin laughed and replied. "You all can call me sister Lin instead since we're all basically a family now. Answering your question, I really don't know since our sect master is a really mysterious person...But I know that it'll definitely be nothing ordinary."
Jian Chen nodded his head when he heard Lin Hui Yin's words. From the time that he'd been with that master of his, everything that he did and had was simply amazing.
From the supreme ranked pills that he received to the Emperor grade sword that he was promised to be given later, and up to the high-ranked Emperor grade technique {Sword Storm Barrage}, they were all amazing and their quality was the best of the best. (1.)
They chatted as they walked and it didn't take long for Tian Long to sense them. Stopping his cultivation, Tian Long stood up and within an instant, appeared in front of the group.
"Ssssss..." although they were used to his miraculous abilities, Tian Long's sheer speed still left them breathless as they couldn't help but breathe in a mouthful of air.
Tian Long smiled refreshingly bright. "You're all here, welcome!"
'Tsk.' Chu Feng clicked his tongue when he saw the maskless Tian Long. He couldn't help but admit that this master of his was indeed good-looking.
The other boys had the same reaction while Long Xue blushed and lowered her head.
"You'll absolutely love what I'm about to show you all." laughed Tian Long as he started walking to the back of the villa, with the group hurriedly following after him.
At the same wide empty spot, Tian Long stopped and faced them.
'???'
Questions popped in the group's heads as they looked at the empty field, wondering what Tian Long wanted to show them.
"Master, what exactly are-" Long Wang couldn't even finish laughing when he suddenly went speechless.
The same went for Lin Hui Yin, Chu Feng, Long Xue, and Zhuang Yan when they saw what had appeared in front of them.
Boom!
A lofty majestic mountain suddenly appeared as if it descended from the heavens.
Although it wasn't shockingly large, the fact that it appeared out of thin air had shocked them silly. However, what truly left them flabbergasted was the dignified and imposing pressure that the mountain was exuding. The awe-inspiring pressure left them with the feeling of respect and fear at the same time.
Well, even peak powerhouses of the world would feel the boundless and towering aura of a normal Sacred Mountain, not to mention the Eternal Celestial Mountain which was a supreme-ranked Divine Mountain that even came from the Apex System itself.
Shifting sideways, Tian Long lifted his right arm towards the direction of the mountain and said with a breathtaking smile. "I welcome you all to the Eternal Glory Sect."
Lin Hui Yin, Jian Chen, Chu Feng, Long Xue, Long Wang, and Zhuang Yan had their eyes almost popped out of their socket and jaws dropped to the ground as they processed what was happening in front of them.
Tian Long laughed at their reaction and gave them time to recover themselves first before continuing.
"..."
"..."
It took them a while before they regained themselves but even so, they couldn't help but marvel and wonder what Tian Long's identity and background is for him to possess many godly treasures.
Tian Long simply smiled and waved his hand, teleporting all of them into the inner world of the Celestial Mountain.
Appearing within the paradise-like wonderland, they all were further dumbfounded at the world around them that was akin to heaven.
The air and the heavenly energy around them were very pure to the point that they felt that it was simply impossible.
"Even back at the empire, I have never been in a place such as this...I don't think that this kind of place even exists in the Divine Continent..." said Jian Chen while in a daze. He couldn't even hear or see anything around him as he was lost in his thoughts.
Everyone: "..."
Tian Long laughed. "This, this is the inner world of the Eternal Celestial Mountain. I shan't tell you what grade this mountain is since it might shock you all to death."
Lin Hui Yin asked with a trembling voice. "Don't tell me...Divine...Grade?"
Chu Feng's eyes narrowed as he considered this possibility in his head. 'The lofty and towering aura, the instant appearance to the teleportation, the impossibly pure heavenly energy...this mountain is definitely a Divine Grade...'
The Long twins and Zhuang Yan nearly fainted when they heard the words 'Divine Grade'
Even Lin Hui Yin doubted herself when she said those words.
Tian Long laughed out loud and replied. "You all will find the answer to that in the coming future. But for now, this, this world will be the base of the sect and your home."
He then ignored everyone's yelps and gasps and continued with a smirk. "Well then, shall we look at your houses?"
