The only thing that was useful to him was the environment here—providing ample spiritual energy, Taoist charm, and primordial matter.
After all, his cultivation consumption was too astonishing. Just the Immortal Realm alone had already consumed a massive amount of energy. If he were to advance further, probably no force in the Chaotic World could afford it.
It would probably take draining the power of a clan like the Primordial Ones.
"You can choose any main peak to stay on and create the next realm first."
She said, "Until then, we should lie low. As for news about you, only Mr. Qi and I know about it within Jin Yun Mountain."
"Mr. Qi's name is Qi Wangtian. He once saw the illusory image of the Heavenly Emperor and attained enlightenment. He can be considered a follower of the Heavenly Emperor. You can trust him."
Mr. Qi, the old man who went to welcome Li Lan, has a very high level of cultivation!
“There is also mutual infiltration between the various Pure Lands and the alienated Silent Lands. Otherwise, we would not have been able to find out that you were being targeted by the Dark River… Therefore, it is best for you not to expose yourself here for the time being.”
She gave him solemn instructions.
This place appears peaceful on the surface, but there is a hidden tension beneath the surface.
Li Lan nodded, then suddenly looked up and asked, "Is there no scripture on that mountain peak?"
His gaze fell upon a low mountain peak, which appeared to have been broken and paled in comparison to the towering peaks surrounding it.
Moreover, there were no magnificent Taoist palaces or spiritual residences on the mountain peak, making it appear quite desolate.
"Tian Shi Peak".
Shangguan Xiaoxiao said, "This mountain was once the strongest of the 108 peaks. Unfortunately, in that great battle, the peak master led the entire mountain to fight the enemy. He died, and the mountain collapsed."
"There are no cultivators on this mountain now... no, there is still one, the peak master, Gu Shouzhou."
"Master Gu Shouzhou has lived on the mountain peak for thousands of years, never once stepping down..."
Upon hearing this, Li Lan nodded and said, "This mountain peak... is quite suitable for me."
If one were to go to other mountains to cultivate, in order to conceal one's true nature, one would inevitably have to waste some time and energy learning, disguising oneself as an "ordinary disciple," and after a period of time, revealing some of one's extraordinary abilities, so that the people there would gradually accept one's existence...
But Tian Shi Peak was much quieter this day. He didn't need to make any unnecessary pretense, and no one would pay special attention to him.
You can focus on your cultivation now!
Shangguan Xiaoxiao looked slightly surprised, but then nodded. What Li Lan said made sense.
"I'll take you there."
Immediately, the two headed towards Tianshi Peak, and soon they were already on a mountain path covered with weeds.
Even the famous monument on the mountain peak is broken in two and scattered among the weeds, ignored by everyone. Along the way to the summit, you can also see many ruins left from ancient times.
Those once glorious Taoist palaces have now become hiding places for snakes, insects, rats, and ants.
Just as Shangguan Xiaoxiao said, no one comes here to cultivate Taoism anymore.
Although the mountains and forests are still rich in spiritual energy and the essence of the five elements are abundant, and there is no shortage of primordial matter, within the Golden Cloud Mountain Secret Realm, a mountain that has lost its scriptures means that it has been abandoned by creation.
"I don't know where Peak Master Gu lives. To be honest, I've only met him once... He almost never leaves the mountain to ask about things outside the peak."
Shangguan Xiaoxiao spoke, her eyes scanning the surroundings, but she couldn't find Gu Shouzhuo's figure.
Is Peak Master Gu present?
She spoke loudly, her voice echoing within the peak, but there was no response.
"Isn't he here?"
she wondered.
"He's over there."
But at that moment, Li Lan suddenly spoke, pointing to several birds flying in the sky.
The birds were carrying grass away, and Li Lan immediately chased after them. Shangguan Xiaoxiao was puzzled, but she followed him anyway.
Before long, the two followed the celestial birds to a waterfall. On a boulder on one side of the waterfall lay an extremely disheveled old man, who looked like a skeleton and seemed to have been dead for a long time, but no one had come to collect his body.
