Reverend Insanitys Biography of Qitiab

In the southern part of Zhongzhou, towering mountains stretch 30,000 feet high. At the peak of the cloud sea, amidst the vast sky, floats a grand mountain.

Feihe Mountain!

Feihe Mountain is majestic and soaring, suspended in the mysterious white cloud sea.

The sunlight breaks through the mist, casting a warm glow over the lush greenery that blankets the mountain, the forests saturated with deep green.

The mountain waves rise and fall, layered upon each other.

Whenever the fierce winds howl, the sea of clouds above the mountain churns like boiling water. The pine, cypress, and bamboo forests roll like waves, and thousands of cranes cry in unison.

Iron-beaked cranes, red fire cranes, phoenix-tailed cranes, ethereal smoke cranes, starry aurora cranes... tens of thousands of cranes, some spiraling in the air, some perched on pine trees, others perched on rocks. The scene is diverse and magnificent.

The cranes of Feihe Mountain are famous throughout Zhongzhou. And the Gu Masters on the mountain are known far and wide.

This is the Xianhe Sect.

One of the ten major sects of Zhongzhou, holding the peak of power in the region.

At this moment, a test is underway at the Ding-section Baiyu Square of the Xianhe Sect.

A young man, with a wolf-like build and a bee-shaped waist, has long, jet-black hair flowing over his shoulders. His bright and refreshing eyes shine. He wears a dark blue robe, exuding a sense of handsome elegance.

At the same time, a group of iron-feather cranes, numbering tens of thousands, spirals in the air, constantly changing their formation according to Qi Tian's will. Sometimes diving, sometimes splitting into two to encircle, and sometimes forming a circular defensive formation.

The crane group moves like a giant beast, sometimes roaring with open mouths, sometimes turning into a steel shield, and sometimes becoming sharp arrows flying through the air. The formations change constantly, flowing naturally, with actions carried out effortlessly.

"When did an inner disciple like this appear? To control a flock of thousands of cranes so effortlessly, as if they are an extension of his arm!"

"This level is probably already that of a semi-master! Wow! A level of slave path that we haven't seen in years among our elite disciples."

"A genius of the slave path! Truly impressive! It looks like it won't be long before we have one more senior brother!"

Many disciples watching the scene murmured, their voices reaching Qi Tian's ears.

Qi Tian was not surprised by this.

A semi-master level of slave path is hard to come by even among elite disciples. If these disciples knew Qi Tian was still holding back, they would surely be even more astonished.

After joining the Xianhe Sect, he abandoned the demonic style he once had in the Southern Wilderness. He has become gentle, humble, and smiles amiably, embodying the demeanor of a righteous disciple.

Such a change is partly due to his current identity.

The Xianhe Sect is a righteous sect, so it cannot behave recklessly like before. Reputation now becomes far more important.

Reputation is a bridge that can allow one to cross over the abyss.

In the legends of the human ancestors, there's a story about the Reputation Gu.

Once, Tai Ri Yang Mang got so drunk that he was brought to the Ordinary Abyss by the Shenyou Gu. This Ordinary Abyss was a place where even the human ancestor had been trapped.

However, after finding the Reputation Gu, he built a bridge using it to cross over the Ordinary Abyss, rescuing himself.

For Qi Tian, reputation is the bridge to his success.

Qi Tian's goal is to enter the Fox Immortal Blessed Land a year later. If his reputation is too poor, it will be difficult to gain significant responsibilities.

There are so many elite disciples in the sect. Even if Qi Tian shows enough strength, the righteous path isn't all about strength. If his relationships with fellow disciples aren't good, the Sect Leader might not assign him important tasks.

The higher-ups in the sect value reputation greatly. If Qi Tian's reputation is bad, how can the Sect Leader trust him with an important mission?

Whether or not he can enter the Fox Immortal Blessed Land has already been arranged by the sect's elders. Qi Tian, having read the original work, knows about He Fengyang's plan. He plans to use the Immortal Gu "I Su" to help Fang Zheng win by using the soul-spirit fleas connected to the heavenly crane.

To He Fengyang, Fang Zheng is the most suitable candidate for this plan. Therefore, when the Sect Leader selects candidates, Fang Zheng will be included. If Qi Tian's reputation is bad among the disciples, he will never get this spot.

This is one reason. The second is that this kind of behavior is actually Qi Tian's original nature. In his previous life on Earth, Qi Tian was gentle, humble, and gracious.

When he arrived in the "Gu Master" world, although he knew how cruel it was, Qi Tian still suffered many setbacks due to his personality.

After nearly a hundred years of wandering, Qi Tian matured, adapted to this world, and his personality turned cold and calculating.

Such a change doesn't make Qi Tian regretful because this is the way to survive in this world. The reason humans are considered the spirit of all beings is that they can adapt to their environment.

Thus, his current gentle demeanor is natural to him, not forced.

As for Qi Tian's dark history in the Southern Wilderness, no one will investigate it. His current status is not worth the sect's special investigation. Moreover, even if they do find out, transitioning from demonic path to righteous path in one of the ten major sects is not unheard of.

Meanwhile, in the Southern Wilderness, at the Martial Arena in Merchants' City...

"Wait, I'm done, I admit defeat!" With Li Ran's loud cry, the duel ended, leaving the audience stunned.

Fang Yuan, using the "Full Effort Gu" to test his skills, won with just one move.

The crowd had come to watch the match to see the use of the "Full Effort Gu."

The result was a clear mismatch. Fang Yuan defeated Li Ran with a single strike, and Li Ran immediately admitted defeat, disappointing the audience.

Some were dissatisfied, some angry, and some understood...

As Fang Yuan made a move to leave, Li Ran stopped him.

After a few words about "a drop of water returned with a spring, and a spark turned into a wildfire," Li Ran asked Fang Yuan for 100,000 yuan stones.

Fang Yuan not only agreed but also raised the compensation to 200,000 yuan stones, making a name for himself as someone who clearly distinguishes between favor and grudge.

White Ning Bing, who knows Fang Yuan very well, naturally didn't believe it.

And Fang Yuan wouldn't tell her that this was actually a secret agreement between him and Li Ran. Li Ran helped Fang Yuan stage the scene and, in return, informed Fang Yuan of the formula for combined refining. Fang Yuan, in turn, compensated Li Ran with 200,000 yuan stones.

White Ning Bing coldly snorted after hearing Fang Yuan's explanation about the Reputation Gu, but after thinking of his Pre-vision Gu, she decided to trust him for now.

After White Ning Bing left, Fang Yuan fell into deep thought.

"Qi Tian, assessment result: B-rank."

When the elder announced Qi Tian's assessment result for controlling the Feihe Crane command, the crowd was shocked.
