Chapter 23: Ancestral Hall, Three Mountains Inheritance

Fu Ning was genuinely worried.

If she continued to refuse to join Black Mountain,

would Mo Yu Zhou continue to float in the sky?

Fortunately, Black Feather Scenic Master had great confidence in his persuasion skills.

He firmly believed that after brainwashing Fu Ning, she was already a disciple of Black Mountain in spirit.

After about half an incense stick's worth of time, Mo Yu Zhou suddenly displayed a spectacle in mid-air.

As if truly transforming into a feather, it slowly descended from the sky.

Fu Ning felt her vision blur, and the three mountains of black, white, and red seemed to shift out of alignment.

The clouds became smaller and the trees grew larger.

Finally, her figure flickered, and she felt a solid sensation beneath her feet.

Fu Ning looked around and was astonished to find herself standing right in the middle of the three mountains.

The surroundings were filled with the freshness of spring, with the fragrance of flowers and the chirping of birds. The three mountains stood in three different places, as if they had become guardians. Turning past the trees, her vision suddenly brightened.

There was a grand and majestic hall.

The hall had flying eaves, carved beams, and painted rafters. Sunlight pierced through the mountaintops, giving it a layer of golden purple. The mottled years began to emit a rich fragrance.

"This is the Ancestral Hall of Spirit Turtle Island." Black Feather Scenic Master's voice was soft, but it echoed in the valley.

"Four hundred and seventy-seven years ago, our ancestor, 'Scenic Ancestor Ling Cong,' encountered a shipwreck and accidentally discovered this place. Thus, he founded the sect and established the three mountains of Spirit Turtle."

"Since then, all disciples who enter the sect must come here to pay their respects."

The path leading to the hall was paved with bluestones, with dense ancient trees on both sides. They swayed gently in the mountain breeze, making a rustling sound.

A few dozen steps ahead, a stone stele came into view.

The stele was about ten feet tall, with three large characters engraved on it: 'Duo Qi Lu.'

From the foot of this stele, three stone steps extended outward, gradually leading to the three mountains.

"One step at a time, thousands of miles. The shortcut to the three mountains starts from here."

"This is the mountain-anchoring stone established by our ancestor. The so-called 'shortcut' does not refer to these three steps leading up the mountain, but rather to the act of paying respects and learning from the master."

"These three stone steps are like the path of cultivation. It is difficult to obtain, but easy to lose."

"After becoming a disciple and paying respects to the master, you must ascend the mountain step by step, just like everyone else."

As they spoke, the two of them had already arrived in front of the hall.

...

Inside the hall.

At the top was a painting of the 'Ancestral Portraits of the Three Mountains.'

In front of the painting was an altar, on which the spirit tablet of the founding ancestor was placed.

In front of the spirit tablet, an incense stick was burning.

"The person hasn't arrived yet?"

"I'm afraid they're trying to intercept halfway again!"

Before the words could finish, laughter suddenly came from outside the hall.

"Junior brother, you're trying to slander me again."

Immediately, a 'black crow' figure flashed through the hall.

Fu Ning's vision blurred, and the next moment, she found herself standing in the middle of the hall.

Black Feather Scenic Master had told her a lot about Spirit Turtle Island on the way here.

Spirit Turtle Island had four Great Grandmasters, and Fu Ning had already met two of them.

In the hall at this moment, the ancestor was in the middle, with the four Scenic Masters standing on either side.

On the left side, the first one was White Cloud Scenic Master, still with white beard, white hair, and white robe.

Beside him stood a female Scenic Master.

Also dressed in a white robe, but with misty hair and a dignified demeanor, she appeared to be in the prime of her life, except for the layer of frost covering her face.

If nothing unexpected happened, she should be the 'Extinction Mistress' White Lotus Scenic Master mentioned by Black Feather.

White Cloud Scenic Master and White Lotus Scenic Master both come from White Mountain, so they are standing together.

On the other side of them is a Scarlet-clad Scenic Scholar.

He appears to be around forty years old, with a pale complexion and a furrowed brow. His hair is curly, as if it has been roasted by fire.

He was the one complaining in the main hall just now.

Not only do his personality and physique clash with Black Feather Scenic Master, but they are also complete opposites.

Black Feather Scenic Master is fat and short, while this person is thin and tall.

If nothing unexpected happens, he should be the master of Red Mountain, the fourth Scenic Master, Red Sun Scenic Master.

He glanced at Black Feather and sneered, "The incense is almost burned out in Xiangdu. I thought Black Feather Senior Brother had brought people directly to your Black Mountain."

"Your heart is even darker than Black Mountain.

It's not easy to have a talented disciple, but you want to keep him all to yourself!"

After speaking, he looked sharply at Fu Ning beside him.

That gaze seemed as if he wanted to devour Fu Ning.

"Cough, child, don't believe a word he said on the way!"

Black Feather Scenic Master chuckled, his eyes were already small, and they were covered by the fat on his face, revealing only two gleams of light. "Cough, I, Black Feather, have always been upright and never do things that force others."

"But this disciple indeed admires me from the bottom of his heart and insisted on becoming my disciple. Sigh, I couldn't stop him."

Red Sun Scenic Master almost burst out laughing. "Admiring the heritage of Black Mountain? A place full of eerie atmosphere. Who in their right mind would go there?"

"You know nothing! Some people just like darkness~"

Seeing the two of them arguing fiercely, White Cloud Scenic Master quickly stepped forward to mediate. "Junior brothers, don't let the disciples witness such a spectacle."

Upon hearing this, the two gradually quieted down.

At this time, Fu Ning bowed to the four Scenic Masters, "Fu Ning pays respects to the four seniors!"

After speaking, he walked in front of White Cloud Scenic Master and bowed deeply, "Fu Ning pays respects to White Cloud Scenic Master! I will never forget your life-saving grace."

When Fu Ning first contemplated, he only had three days left to live.

In the eyes of outsiders, it was all thanks to the ancient jade given by White Cloud Scenic Master that he was able to extend his life successfully.

So no matter what, he had to personally express his gratitude.

White Cloud Scenic Master nodded with a smile on his face. "Very well! I didn't misjudge you."

"As long as you seize the opportunity, disregarding the remaining days of your life, it shows that your determination in cultivation is as firm as a rock.

As long as you cultivate with a focused mind, your future will definitely be extraordinary!"

After speaking, he quickly reached out and lifted him up.

"Is he Fu Ning?"

White Lotus Scenic Master not only looked cold, but her voice also carried a chill.

Just as Fu Ning was about to bow, she suddenly glared at him, then snorted and turned her head away.

Fu Ning was stunned: Why does this White Lotus Scenic Master seem to have a grudge against me?

No wonder Black Feather Scenic Master called her "Master Sister of Extinction".

Well-deserved.

Black Feather Scenic Master, seeing White Lotus suddenly speaking, thought she also wanted to compete with him for disciples and immediately treated her as a formidable opponent. "Junior Sister, you can't be greedy.

You just got a talented disciple, you can't snatch him from me again."

As he spoke, he tried to pull Fu Ning behind him.

White Lotus's face was as cold as ice, and her expression seemed unchanged. "I don't want White Mountain."

Upon hearing this, Black Feather finally breathed a sigh of relief.

In fact, he was most worried about White Mountain.

Because Yun Niang went to White Mountain, Fu Ning probably wanted to go to White Mountain to cultivate with Yun Niang.

Now that White Mountain is out of the picture, he doesn't care about Red Mountain at all.

Black Feather Scenic Master was confident in his rhetoric.

Half of the disciples on Black Mountain were fooled like this~

Thinking of this, a smile appeared on his face, and his chubby face was filled with pride.

But at this moment, White Cloud Scenic Master suddenly frowned and said, "Junior Brother, this disciple is not suitable for the heritage of Black Mountain."
