Jì Hou followed Shu Chengdao's guidance and left his own mark on the scroll.

"Okay, everything is ready." Shu Chengdao nodded with satisfaction, closed the scroll and put it back into place.

He thought for a moment, then smiled and said: "You will see the results in about an hour. If Fellow Daoist Ji is not in a hurry, you can choose a cave to settle down in first."

When Jì Hou heard this, he asked: "Okay, let's go and choose a cave first. Does Shu Daoyou have any recommendations?"

Shu Chengdao burst into laughter upon hearing this, which made Jì Hou slightly confused. Later, Shu Chengdao slowly explained: "Haha, fellow Daoist Ji may not understand yet, but in fact, all the deacon caves are exactly the same in layout and size. The selection I am talking about is actually letting you choose one of your own. It’s just a location that looks pleasing to the eye.”

After Jì Hou heard this, he was immediately relieved and laughed: "That's it."

Just as Jì Hou was slowly choosing a cave along the broad and solemn passage of the Xinfeng main hall under the guidance of Shu Chengdao, the main hall bearing the heavy traces of time suddenly shook violently. An invisible force spread instantly, as if a huge boulder weighing 10,000 pounds fell to the ground, making the entire space tremble.

The quiet and sacred atmosphere in the main hall was broken by this sudden change, causing the expressions of Jì Hou and Shu Chengdao, who were originally immersed in the joy of choosing a cave, to change.

Shu Chengdao suddenly raised his head, scanning the surroundings with a pair of deep eyes, his eyebrows showing solemnity and confusion: "What happened?" His voice echoed in the empty hall, with a bit of majesty and calmness.

The amplitude of the vibration gradually increased, and the restrictions in the surrounding caves were opened one after another under the influence of this force. Figures emerged from each cave. They were all foundation-building monks. Their auras were as powerful as the abyss and the sea, and all of them had strong magical powers. Obviously they are all the best in the sect. They walked out of the cave and looked at Shucheng Road in the center of the hall, with expressions of surprise and inquiry on their faces.

A monk wearing a green shirt with a solemn expression was the first to ask: "Fellow Daoist Shu, what happened? Why did the hall suddenly shake like this?"

Shu Chengdao frowned. Although his body trembled slightly with the tremors of the hall, as a monk in the late stage of foundation building, his foundation was solid, and even this tremor would not affect him at all. His feet were standing on the ground as if they were rooted, and he said in a deep voice: "I don't know. I was just accompanying the newly promoted Taoist Fellow Ji to choose a cave, and something unexpected happened suddenly. I don't know why."

"Is there a powerful enemy coming?" Someone nervously speculated.

However, this suggestion was quickly refuted by others: "It might be more believable to say that the sky is falling. The place where Heart Peak is located is the core of the sect. How can ordinary enemies easily hit here?"

While everyone was talking about it, a calm monk made a suggestion: "Instead of making random guesses here, it is better to go out and check it out for yourself."

Everyone agreed, and when they were about to use their magic to leave the hall, a stream of light in the sky was as fast as lightning, flying to the top of everyone's heads at lightning speed. The light was so dazzling that it was impossible to look directly at its source.

A majestic and familiar voice came from the stream of light: "Who is Jì Hou?" This question was like a thunderbolt from the blue, resounding over the entire Xinfeng.

In the crowd, a monk immediately recognized the owner of the voice and couldn't help but exclaimed: "This voice is Elder Huang!"

For a moment, everyone suddenly realized that the reason why the hall was shaking was because of the arrival of Jindan Master Huang Elder. Once the Jindan monk's aura enters the formation set up in the hall, it will naturally cause the formation to alert and respond.

Just when everyone was speculating on the purpose of Elder Huang's trip, the majestic voice sounded again, and the person asking the question was none other than Jì Hou. This made everyone even more curious, why would a Jindan elder want to personally look for a newly promoted foundation-building monk?

Jì Hou stood in the crowd. Although there were a lot of comments around him, he did not bow and salute with everyone. Instead, he frowned with confusion on his face. He was obviously very surprised that Elder Huang found him.

While many deacons were bowing respectfully, Jì Hou, who still straightened his back and never bent his knees, stood out. Everyone's eyes were focused on him, and they were talking in low voices:

"Who is this person? He is so ignorant of etiquette. How dare he not be polite in front of Elder Jindan?"

"I heard that he is a newly promoted foundation-building monk. Maybe he is new here and doesn't understand the rules."

"Even so, when you see Elder Jindan, you should show due respect, or at least salute."

"Perhaps he was shocked by the majesty of Elder Jindan and was stunned for a moment."

Despite the buzz, most people took a tolerant attitude and did not criticize Jì Hou for it. After all, in such an important place of the sect, the occurrence of any abnormal situation will arouse people's curiosity and inquiry.

"Elder, I am Jì Hou. May I ask the elder what you want from me?" Jì Hou's expression remained unchanged and his eyes were fixed on the elder Jindan in the air. His voice echoed in the hall, without any trace of fear or hesitation.

Hearing this, the Jindan elder suspended in mid-air lowered his eyes slightly, and a deep and majestic gaze was projected from the clouds, as if it could penetrate people's hearts. The gaze stayed on Jì Hou for a moment, and then calmed down again.

"Come with me. There are some things that you need to confirm in person." The elder's voice was calm but could not be criticized. "Don't worry, it won't hurt your life."

Before Jì Hou could react, a powerful force instantly enveloped him, his vision went dark, and a roaring sound suddenly came from his ears. When his vision returned, he saw that the surrounding scenery was receding at an incredible speed. It turned out that he had been carried by the elder and flew at high speed.

Although wrapped in magic power, Jì Hou still tried to calm down and asked Elder Huang in front of him: "Where are you taking me, elder?" His voice sounded weak but determined in the wind.

"Tail Peak." Elder Huang's answer was brief and powerful, with an indescribable seriousness in his tone.

Tail Peak is where the elders usually practice and live. Why did Elder Huang choose to take him there at this moment? Jì Hou was filled with doubts, but the situation at this moment was beyond his control and he could only let the flow of fate lead him forward.

Elder Huang's flying speed was like a meteor streaking across the sky, and he had reached the tail peak in an instant. When they landed, the light on Elder Huang's body gradually dissipated, revealing his true face - an old man with an immortal air and a fluttering beard, and his eyes shone with the light of wisdom accumulated over the years.
