Episode 73 ends at Mount Emei, Jintop meets Baimiao, and hands over the remaining soul.

  Mount Emei stands tall for thousands of miles, with undulating mountain ranges and winding rivers. Clouds and mist swirl between the mountains, creating a breathtaking sight that seems to gather all the pure spiritual energy between heaven and earth, like a paradise on earth!

  Above the endless sky, a cluster of clouds and mist surged forward, five streams of light flew in from the edge of the sky, one silver, two crimson, two pure blue, all extremely fast, in the blink of an eye they had already passed over the mountain gate and landed on the mountain path, transforming into three women and two men, five figures, who were none other than Xiao Yunfei and his companions.

  But on that day, after Xiao Yunfei beheaded the Golden Armor Corpse, the White-Haired Dragon Girl Cui Wugou also kept her promise and came together with him. After the three of them met Dan Chenzi, Cui Wugou immediately used the divine power of the Golden Dragon Fire Banner to help Qingyun Xianzi dispel the severe poison of the White Bone God. The five of them then traveled together to Mount Emei.

  It was all thanks to Xiao Yunfei's reputation for breaking the Nine Yin Corpse Array that the dozen or so Heaven's Chosen Ones who had descended upon Shu Mountain World didn't dare to come and cause him trouble. The five of them flew on their swords, and in less than two days' time, they had already arrived at the borders of Mount Emei!

  "Master Brother, you've finally returned! Master has had me waiting here for a long time!"

  As soon as the five of them landed, a Taoist priest in his thirties came to greet them. The man was wearing a blue Taoist robe, had a well-groomed beard and looked quite majestic. However, when he saw Hong Zhuo, he furrowed his brow and said, "Hong Zhuo Shijie, you're here too." It's no wonder that at his age, he would have to address this young girl as Shijie (older sister), it was indeed a bit awkward.

  Humans are social animals and tend to form cliques when they gather, the cultivation world is no exception. The standard for dividing into different levels is naturally based on one's cultivation and strength.

  There are over a thousand Emei Sect disciples, but among these disciples, there are still distinctions. For example, Dan Chenzi, Qingyun and Hongzhu, they were accepted as inner sect disciples by the elders, recorded in the Golden Register. Each elder has a different number of apprentices, with some having seven or eight, while others have only one or two disciples.

  The Emei Sect has a total of 68 elders, with 184 inner disciples, averaging three disciples per elder. The remaining hundreds of disciples are uniformly taught the introductory mental method sword formula, and if they have outstanding cultivation, they can be taken in by any elder to enter the inner door for further practice. Of course, not all elders are the same, among the 68 elders of Emei Mountain, there are five elders with the strongest divine powers, and their disciples naturally have a slightly higher status.

  Danchenzi is the eldest disciple of the sect, with many years of cultivation and extremely high strength, surpassing some ordinary elders. He can be called a senior master without being humble. Coincidentally, Hongzhu and Qingyun are also disciples of those five core elders. Qingyun's cultivation is quite high, but Hongzhu is actually just a little girl.

  Hong Zhuang was nonchalant, but Qing Yun was a knowledgeable person. He smiled warmly and said: "Elder Brother has something to discuss, I'll take Long Nü to the room for a chat. What do you think, Long Nü?"

  Cui Wugou also seemed unwilling to go see Bai Mei, and immediately nodded in response: "This is very good." He also said to Xiao Yunfei: "Brother, hurry up and come back, don't forget our agreement."

  Xiao Yunfei nodded in response, and immediately walked alongside Dan Chenzi, following the Taoist priest up the mountain. Before long, they saw a large courtyard with numerous buildings standing upright. Although the environment was elegant, it lacked a bit of refinement, apparently this was where ordinary disciples of Mount Emei resided. This area seemed to have around 100-200 small courtyards, which could accommodate over a thousand people. The prosperity of Mount Emei Sect was evident from this.

  Three people walked forward, and after walking about a thousand meters or so, they could see in the distance a magnificent temple standing among the clouds. As they approached closer, they could hear the sound of cranes dancing, clouds steaming, and the aura of the divine. It was as if only by standing under one of those giant pillars that were over ten zhang thick could one truly feel the grandeur of this great hall, which would be impossible to build without the help of a celestial being's skills.

  Xiao Yunfei had once studied Taoism at the Qingyun Mountain's Qingyun Gate in the world of Xianxia, but the Jade Clear Hall of Qingyun Gate was far from being as magnificent and grand as the Golden Summit of Emei. The White Eyebrow True Person had founded this sect and developed it to its current scale, showing that he was indeed a person of great importance.

  As far as the eye can see, in front of the hall is an extremely large square, probably even more vast and transparent than the Cloud Sea Square of Qingyun Gate. The ground is paved with white jade, crystal clear and translucent, with golden edges tightly fitted together. From a distance, it shines like gold and silver, and wherever there is light, it can be reflected from here. It seems as if one is walking on light. In the middle of the square stands only one giant bronze Ding tripod, flanked by two towering giant pillars that reach the sky, with divine light shining through their eyes, faintly visible, and yet, somehow, yin and yang energies are gathering and transforming, but it's unknown what other wonders they hold.

  Danchenzi saw that Xiao Yunfei's eyes were a bit dazed, but he didn't feel anything strange at all. Because, to this day, he still clearly remembered when he first became an apprentice of Bai Meizhenren, and followed Bai Meizhenren for the first time to come to Emei Jinding, he was also shocked by such magnificent and wonderful scenery that his eyes were wide with wonder.

  Xiao Yunfeng's eyes swept over the two giant jade tablets, and Dan Chenzi couldn't help but secretly admire: "This Xiao Yunfeng is indeed divine, with great eyesight, able to discover the thousand-year-old foundation of Emei at a glance!" He smiled slightly and said: "This is my Emei School's mountain-protecting grand array, called 'Two Instruments Micro Dust Array', which was built by my master using his great divine power to gather the heaven and earth's creative energy. The two jade tablets are yin and yang, constantly rotating, and anyone with malicious intentions who dares to enter my Emei Golden Summit will be strangled to death by the combined forces of yin and yang."

  Xiao Yunfei was shocked upon hearing this, and thought to himself: "I had thought that this was some kind of precious treasure, but it can actually gather the yin and yang energies. I didn't expect that this would be the infamous Er Yin Wei Chen formation from the Shu Mountain world! And even more unexpected is that this deadly formation is openly displayed here!"

  He pointed to the large tripod in the middle and said, "That is the Nine Condensing Tripod. It's said to be a treasure left behind by the Yellow Emperor when he was at war with Chi You. However, this one is just a replica, and I don't know where the real one has gone."

  Xiao Yunfei couldn't help but laugh inwardly. Indeed, although the Emei Sect was powerful, the demonic path was currently flourishing, and the old demon of Youquan was being extremely arrogant. If the Emei Sect really had possession of a peerless spiritual treasure like the Jiuxing Ding, it's likely that according to Bai Mei Zhenren's style of doing things, they would have already eliminated Youquan, so why would they need to wait for the old demon to come knocking on their door?

  Just as Xiao Yunfei was about to fly away, the three of them had already walked across the square and arrived at the foot of the grand hall. Looking up, they saw a huge plaque with four large characters written in silver hooks and iron paintings: "Shang Qing Bao Gong".

  But what was seen was that behind the Precious Palace of Supreme Clarity, there seemed to be tens of thousands of divine lights and auspicious omens in seven colors, standing tall on a thousand-layered platform. From this vantage point, it looked as if it were standing in a palace in the sky! The vermilion pillars and glazed golden tiles made it look even more majestic and grand. Moreover, around the great hall, there were clouds and mist that seemed to take the shape of a dragon coiling around its exterior, with scales and fine hairs visible everywhere, and there were also bursts of roaring sounds, just like a real dragon.

  "The ones you see are the dragon souls guarding the temple, which were beheaded by our ancestors and elders when they traveled outside. Normally, it's hard to see their true form, but on the 10th of every month when the fog is thick, the temple will gather clouds and these dragon souls will take shape in the clouds, revealing their true form for a moment. Just wait until noon when the sun comes out, the clouds will disperse and you won't be able to see them again."

  Xiao Yunfei nodded slightly, but in his heart he despised the cruel and ruthless methods of the Emei sect. As the saying goes, 'killing someone is just a nod', they had already taken someone's life, yet they still wanted to capture their soul and make it into a watchdog, truly too overbearing. Of course, if such a thing were to happen to him, he might not be able to resist either.

  Although the great hall is called 'Shangqing Baogong', the three Qing saints' images are all there, only to see the treasure's appearance is dignified and solemn, with a hint of spirituality. Right below the image, on a meditation mat in the center, sat a short and stout Taoist priest with white beard and eyebrows, wearing a white robe that fluttered without wind, as if there was a surge of magical power colliding with the void, making Xiao Yunfei extremely surprised, and also very clear in his mind, that among the Emei sect, only the leader Bai Mei Zhenren could have such grandeur and cultivation.

  "Disciples pay respects to their master!" As expected, Dan Chenzi and the leading disciple immediately knelt down on the ground, loudly chanting in worship.

  Xiao Yunfei also hastily cupped his hands and bowed, saying: "Junior Xiao Yunfei of the Huashan Sect pays respects to the True Person!"

  With a slight wave of his hand, the Taoist who led the way was dismissed. The White Eyebrow True Man slowly opened his eyes, and in his gaze, a substantial light flashed, passing over Dan Chenzi and stopping on Xiao Yunfei's body. He nodded and said, "No wonder you were able to escape unscathed from Yuquan's hands, indeed not ordinary."

  Xiao Yunfei harmonized with the six paths, sensing Bai Mei's cultivation. He didn't dare to be arrogant and hastily bowed his head, saying: "I apologize for my previous praise, but I had to flee in a hurry, it's really embarrassing to talk about."

  "I'm not here to flatter you, having cultivated in the Nether Springs for thousands of years. It's not easy to achieve what you have today, and there are hardly a few people who can do so." White Eyebrow True Person smiled slightly, stretching out his hand, "Hand over the remnant soul of Lonely Moon Master, if you want to eliminate the old demon of Nether Springs, the master of Heaven's Strike Sword must return soon."

  "Understood." Bai Mei Zhenren was direct, and Xiao Yunfei was also very straightforward. He immediately took out the jade bottle carrying Guan Yue Da Shi's residual soul and presented it with both hands!
