Li Yuanfei said, "Although the Yaohai Sect does not have inner and outer sect distinctions, there are differences in seniority. I am currently a fifth-generation disciple of the Yaohai Sect, at the Foundation Establishment stage. Once my cultivation reaches the Illumination stage, I can be promoted to a fourth-generation disciple, and so on. You have just entered the sect and are now sixth-generation disciples, the lowest in seniority within the Yaohai Sect."

The four of them followed the rugged stairs deeper into the仙岛 (Fairy Island).

Along the way, Li Yuanfei continuously introduced the rules of the Yaohai Sect to the three newcomers. Zhuge Liang initially listened intently, but gradually lost interest and looked around at the scenery. The仙岛 was lush with trees and vibrant life, with many exotic beasts hiding in the bushes, curiously observing them.

"This is truly a fairyland. In my previous life, such a place was unimaginable," Zhuge Liang thought to himself.

Gradually, the mountain path became steeper, and the terrain of the仙岛 rose higher.

Li Yuanfei waved his sleeve, and an invisible force lifted the three of them into the air, flying towards the center of the仙岛.

Eventually, they arrived at the center of the仙岛. The sight before them was so fantastical that it left the three of them in awe. Before them was a floating peak, majestic and imposing, with flying eaves, pavilions, and palaces—an enchanting scene.

"A floating peak... Could it be caused by the abundance of天地精气 (heavenly and earthly energy) here? Truly a sacred place," Zhuge Ming exclaimed in surprise.

Zhuge Liang, behind him, silently mocked: "Heavenly and earthly energy? The floating peak is likely due to the magnetic field reactions here."

Zhuge Liang was certain that if he had a phone at this moment, it would have no signal at all...

At this moment, Su Nianjiao flew down from the floating peak on her sword and said, "Senior Brother, the Sect Master and the elders are waiting for you in the main hall."

Li Yuanfei nodded. Using an invisible force, he lifted Zhuge Ming, Zhuge Muxian, and Zhuge Liang into the air and they flew to the top of the floating peak. Even after they landed on solid ground, the three still looked back, feeling a sense of unreality.

The floating peak was covered with flying eaves, pavilions, and glazed tiles, presenting a celestial and holy appearance.

Zhuge Liang, with his arms behind his head, followed the others and sighed inwardly. The cultivation sect was indeed not just talk; it truly had a celestial ambiance.

In front of them was a grand golden hall, with a plaque that read "Yaoxian Pavilion" in flowing and dynamic calligraphy. Just seeing these words dazzled Zhuge Liang.

"Cultivation... I'm finally here!" Zhuge Liang silently exclaimed.

Entering the golden hall, the interior was as splendid as the exterior, comparable to any royal palace. Zhuge Liang could smell a faint incense, different from the high incense burnt during festivals by ordinary people. This incense carried an enchanting and calming fragrance.

It gave a sense of tranquility.

In the golden hall sat several people. The foremost figure had white hair and beard and wore a moon-white robe that shimmered with light, suggesting it was not an ordinary garment. This person was bathed in celestial light, exuding an air of immortal elegance.

Next to him were several others: two elderly men, two middle-aged men, and a graceful and dignified Taoist nun who was currently meditating.

At this moment, Zhuge Liang's eyes brightened. Behind the graceful Taoist nun stood a stunning woman in white. Her beauty was extraordinary, her skin as white as snow, and her white dress made her look like a proud snow lotus.

Her graceful figure created an alluring curve. Though she appeared to be only seventeen or eighteen, she was exceptionally beautiful and well-developed, with a tempting curve of her chest.

The white-clad woman gave off an air of being an immortal. Her eyes seemed to have a faint mist, as if gentle waves were flowing within.

Zhuge Liang couldn't help but look at her a bit longer, but then felt the woman's gaze on him. Her cold, beautiful face showed a hint of disdain.

Zhuge Liang quickly looked away and thought, "Such a beautiful woman is truly captivating..."

In the grand hall, the gaze of those present shifted to Zhuge Ming, Zhuge Mu Yan, and Zhuge Bu Liang. The three felt a heavy pressure and did not dare to look up. The figures seated before them were akin to immortal beings, supreme and beyond reproach; they dared not provoke their divine might.

"Greetings, Sect Master!" Li Yuanfei and Su Nianjiao bowed deeply to the elderly man with white hair and beard at the center.

Zhuge Ming, Zhuge Mu Yan, and Zhuge Bu Liang quickly stepped forward and cupped their hands, saying, "Greetings, Sect Master!"

However, Zhuge Bu Liang, distracted by the white-clad woman, was a moment slower. His tone was awkward and somewhat out of place, even a bit comical.

"These three are the most outstanding talents selected from the Zhuge family?" The majestic voice of the Yao Hai Sect Master inquired, turning his gaze to the three.

The three dared not speak, standing obediently. Only Zhuge Bu Liang's eyes continually darted towards the white-clad woman.

The Sect Master nodded to a stern-looking elder beside him. "Elder Pang, please."

The elder stood up, imposing and giving off a formidable aura. Though his hair and beard were white, his stature was unusually tall. As he took a step forward, the pressure was palpable.

Li Yuanfei quickly said, "This is the Yao Hai Sect's Law Enforcement Elder, Pang Guang."

Hearing the name, Zhuge Bu Liang, Zhuge Ming, and Zhuge Mu Yan were momentarily stunned. The name Pang Guang was unexpected and oddly reminiscent of a bladder, which caused Zhuge Bu Liang to stifle a laugh, his face turning red.

Li Yuanfei, embarrassed, regretted mentioning Elder Pang's full name, realizing it had created an awkward atmosphere.

Zhuge Ming and Zhuge Mu Yan quickly regained their composure and respectfully said, "Greetings, Elder Pang!"

Zhuge Bu Liang stepped forward as well, saying, "Greetings, uh, Bladder Elder... No, no, Pang Elder~~~"

This only made the situation more awkward. Zhuge Bu Liang mentally cursed himself, realizing he had unintentionally blurted out a name that reminded him of a bladder.

Even the Sect Master seated at the top couldn't help but show a faint smile, though he restrained himself from laughing due to his position, his face flushed red.

"Hahaha, this kid is quite something~~~" The middle-aged man seated next to the Sect Master laughed heartily, unable to contain his amusement. "It's rare for anyone to joke about Elder Pang's name in Yao Hai Sect, yet today, a newly admitted disciple has... Hahaha, this is too funny, I can't take it~~~ Hahaha~~~~"

At this moment, Elder Pang's face had turned a deep purple, and the overwhelming pressure emanated from him, causing Zhuge Bu Liang, Zhuge Ming, and Zhuge Mu Yan to feel a wave of terror.
