What greeted his eyes was a majestic palace suspended in midair.
It was a cone-shaped pagoda and was extremely majestic. There were a total of nine levels, and each level was like a stage. The surrounding clouds floated around, and it felt like they had entered a paradise.
“This is the True Crossing Heaven Palace. This is an important place for our sect. Not only is the sect master cultivating here, but many elders with profound cultivation have also lived in seclusion here!”
Si Yuanpei pointed at the palace and flew into the distance.
“Come with me. Master Yu’s Fallen Sword Peak isn’t here.”
Lin Shen looked around and realized that there were countless mountains and floating islands hidden in the surrounding clouds. They spread out for an unknown distance and seemed to have no end.
After calming himself down, he quickly followed Si Yuanpei.
The two of them soon arrived at a spiritual peak.
From afar, the spiritual peak looked like a sword blade that was half inserted into the clouds and pointed toward the sky. It was clearly a dead object, but it gave off an incomparably sharp aura!
That was probably where the Fallen Sword Peak got its name.
“This is where Master Yu is cultivating,” Si Yuanpei said.

The mountain peak was wide, and there were high platforms on both sides of the mountain path. White jade stone steps that were 30m wide were built all the way from the bottom of the mountain to the peak. Spirit birds could be seen pecking at their feathers everywhere on the eaves.
They walked all the way to the top of the mountain and only stopped when he arrived in front of a hall.
Lin Shen looked up and saw the horizontal plaque of the Orchid Pavilion hanging at the front of the hall. The font had an unrestrained feeling to it. At a glance, he felt like he was about to fly.
The two of them had just stopped in their tracks when a pleasant-looking female cultivator came up to them. She cupped her fists and said, “Greetings. May I know why you’re visiting the Fallen Sword Peak?”
“I’m Si Yuanpei, the Nine Yang Academy’s lower court’s institute head, and Lin Shen, a true disciple, requests to see Master Yu!”
Although Si Yuanpei didn’t stay in the sect all the time, his reputation was quite resounding. The female cultivator was slightly shocked.
However, when she heard the name Lin Shen, the surprise in her eyes intensified. She couldn’t help but look at Lin Shen curiously.
Everyone in the sect knew that the Nine Yang Academy had produced a first-grade spirit meridian cultivator master, and the name Lin Shen was widely known.
The female cultivator had long heard that Master Yu had accepted Lin Shen as his disciple. She knew that the young man was different from ordinary disciples, so she didn’t dare to be negligent at all. She immediately led the two of them into the hall.
“Please wait here. I’ll report to Master Yu now!”
After saying that, the female cultivator was about to leave. However, just as she turned around, a deep and pleasant voice suddenly rang out in the hall.
“Show them in.”
Lin Shen and Si Yuanpei also heard it.
The two of them looked at each other and stood up. Led by the female cultivator, they walked deeper into the pavilion.
After walking for a while, the sound of flowing water came from somewhere. It sounded as if silk was being peeled from a cocoon.
Lin Shen looked up and realized that he was already in a hall. Countless clear springs fell from the top of the hall and rolled up in the air a meter above the ground, gathering together.
The water was like the pattering of spring rain and a small stream hitting a stone. Soon, it gathered into a water mirror with a radius of a hundred meters. White lotus roots and pink lotuses rose from it and bloomed one after another. The white lotus petal at the top opened, revealing a slender female cultivator with thin eyebrows and cherry blossom lips.
She had the smoothest skin and was as pretty as a picture. However, her eyes were cold and serious, and her aura was awe-inspiring. At a glance, no one dared to approach her.
Seeing this, Si Yuanpei took a step forward and bowed.
“Greetings, Master Yu.”
Yu Siyu moved her feet lightly and bowed to Si Yuanpei. “Master Si, glad to see you here.”
After that, she pointed downward, and the lotus flower under her feet turned into a lotus platform.
After sitting down, she looked at Lin Shen and stared at him for a while before nodding.
“Abundant spiritual opportunity. As expected of a first-grade spirit meridian.”
“Thank you for your praise, Master Yu,” Lin Shen said calmly.
Seeing that he was looking at her calmly, Yu Siyu admired his quality.
“Since you’re here today, you must have already made your decision and are willing to acknowledge me as your master.”

Yu Siyu smiled slightly. This smile was like the blooming of a thousand flowers, and nothing could compare to that kind of beauty. Then, her smile faded, and she nodded lightly.
“I don’t like formalities and customs. There’s no need for the apprenticeship ceremony. From now on, you’re my third direct disciple.”
Without another word, Lin Shen knelt down and bowed.
“Greetings, Master!”
Si Yuanpei had been standing at the side without saying a word. It was only now that he smiled and spoke.
“Congratulations, Master Yu, for taking in such a good disciple!”
If a disciple with a first-grade spirit meridian wasn’t a good disciple, then what was?
Knowing that the master and disciple had a lot to say, Si Yuanpei left after congratulating them, leaving them to their own devices.
“I won’t say anything else. Since you’ve acknowledged me as your master, I’ll treat you properly.”
Yu Siyu waved her hand, and a bottle of pills landed in front of Lin Shen.
“This is the Nine Cauldron Pill. It’s most suitable for new cultivator masters. It has the effect of stabilizing their stage and increasing their cultivation.
“Also, you haven’t converted your spiritual essence yet, have you? Have you thought of which of the Five Elements you want to pursue?”
Lin Shen had already thought about it and answered without thinking,
“I want to cultivate a technique that has all five elements!”
As calm as Yu Siyu, she couldn’t help but be stunned when she heard this.
All these years, she had never heard of anyone cultivating a technique that had all five elements..
