As soon as Pei Tuo said this, the others present were suddenly shocked.
At the same time, they had an epiphany.
No wonder Pei Tuo had lost his composure just now. It turned out that what Ji Shaoli had promised was an ownerless Nascent Soul Cave Sky!
It is known that for a Golden Core Cultivator to advance to Nascent Soul Realm, certain conditions must be met.
Each ownerless Cave Heaven almost represents a nascent Nascent Soul Monk about to rise.
Its value is incalculable.
Apart from aligning oneself with the prominent families of the Immortal Alliance, one would have to rely entirely on their own luck to find one.
Difficult, difficult, difficult!
The Alliance of Thousands of Immortals has countless Foundation Establishment and Golden Core Cultivators, like crops in the earth, replaced over and over again.
Whereas Nascent Soul Monks can already be considered as having entered the inner halls, taking up important positions in various states.
They are truly the backbone of the Immortal Alliance.
The difference between realms can be described as dramatic as heaven overturning earth.
Only...
Ji Shaoli himself is only at the Golden Core Realm. Providing ownerless Cave Heaven information for the members of the Society of Mutual Support?
Is that possible?
The few people present couldn’t help but feel a hint of doubt in their hearts.
It wasn’t that they were overly suspicious.
It’s just that this matter...
Seemed a bit far-fetched.
Not to mention that Ji Shaoli was a lone wolf with no significant power behind him.
Even if he was a member of some secret organization.
With ownerless Cave Heaven in hand, there would surely be countless people willing to join him.
Why would he need to recruit in Misthaven Ocean?
Could it be the Five Elders Organization?
As this thought emerged, the once excited crowd couldn’t help but feel a sense of shock. The more they thought about it, the more anxious they became.
Ji Shaoli naturally saw what these people were thinking.
He smiled, "You don’t need to worry. I am certainly not some spy from the Fifth Elder Club."
"The ownerless Cave Heaven prepared for Pei Tuo is also within the territory of the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals."
At this, the crowd finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"The Society of Mutual Support is newly established, so it’s normal for you to have doubts. But facts speak louder than words. Wait for Pei Tuo to achieve the Nascent Soul Realm, and all doubts will be dispelled." Ji Shaoli said with full confidence.
"However, before accomplishing this, let’s take care of your affairs first."
Ji Shaoli clapped his hands lightly, and after a moment, an image of a faceless stone statue suddenly appeared in the grand hall of the Cave Mansion.
"This is the True Immortal of ’Compassion in Salvation, Mercy in the Mortal World’. You only need to pray sincerely to it and quietly recite the oath of joining the club, and you will have completed the initiation ceremony."
"Afterward, I will transfer the contribution points to you," Ji Shaoli said, smiling as he introduced the process.
"Is it that simple?" Xiang Xin was somewhat dubious.
"It’s just that simple. We in the Society of Mutual Support don’t indulge in anything too mysterious," Ji Shaoli stated with conviction.
Hearing these words, everyone couldn’t help but look up at the faceless stone statue in the sky.
There seemed to be nothing mystical about it, yet they faintly sensed an inexplicable aura emanating from it.
Intimating the statue’s extraordinariness.
With ownerless Cave Heaven as a temptation, Pei Tuo naturally was fearless, the first to step forward and silently recite in his heart.
A moment later.
He lifted his head, "Is that it?"
It seemed like nothing happened.
"That’s it. Welcome to officially join the Society of Mutual Support," Ji Shaoli said, with a warm smile.
Seeing this, the others followed suit one after another.
It didn’t take long for the first batch of six cultivators of the Society of Mutual Support to complete their initiation.
Ji Shaoli was true to his word, immediately transferring one hundred thousand contribution points to each of them on the spot.
When they indeed confirmed through the Small Tianxuan Mirror on the island that they had received this immense amount of contribution points,
they all appeared somewhat dazed, as if in a dream.
"The Society of Mutual Support values quality, not quantity. So I ask you not to intentionally promote this too widely. Of course, if you have friends or family with exceptional talent, feel free to introduce them to the club," Ji Shaoli advised.
Before sending them off, Ji Shaoli gave another word of caution.
After everyone had left, Ji Shaoli turned around to face an impatient Pei Tuo.
"May I know what Foundation Establishment Strange Object and Golden Core Technique you possess, Brother Pei? And which Nascent Soul Cultivation Technique do you plan to practice?" Ji Shaoli suddenly asked.
After a brief hesitation, Pei Tuo recounted them one by one.
"I achieved my Tao Foundation with [Wall of Solid Rocks], and cultivated my Gold Core using the three techniques of defense, birth, and earth."
"I have taken a liking to a technique called ’The Mantra of Immovable Earth in Eight Directions’."
Ji Shaoli first praised, "The Foundation Establishment Strange Object and the Golden Core Technique complement each other. Friend, you really are not ordinary."
Without waiting for a response, he continued to ask, "I happen to know of a place, [Thousand Rocks Cave Heaven], that is very compatible with your path."
"What do you think?"
"Thousand Rocks Cave Heaven? Naturally, that would be excellent," Pei Tuo, upon hearing this, was immediately overjoyed.
But then, he became conscious of something and his body abruptly stiffened.
Looking at Ji Shaoli not far away, the shock in his heart was beyond words.
To be able to cultivate by himself all the way to Golden Core Perfection,
Pei Tuo was definitely not someone lacking in sharpness.
He keenly detected that something was off.
To just happen to know of a [Thousand Rocks Cave Heaven] that perfectly suits his path...
Where are there so many just happens!
You should know, most Nascent Soul Monks find it hard to find a Cave Heaven that suits their Foundation Establishment and Golden Core Dharma Form.
After all, being able to find a Cave Heaven to achieve Nascent Soul is already a stroke of great fortune.
Apart from the core disciples of those prominent families, who could be so choosy?
But the one Ji Shaoli prepared for him seemed nearly tailor-made...
It’s either a coincidence,
Or it means...
Ji Shaoli knows of more than one, even many, different Cave Heavens.
Upon learning about his cultivation path, he immediately selected the most suitable one.
What does that imply?
Probably only the top few powers of the Immortal Alliance could do so.
A chill rose in Pei Tuo’s heart.
In his spirit consciousness, the image of the Faceless Stone Statue surfaced once again.
The True Immortal who is "merciful to the suffering, compassionate to the mundane."
What exactly...
Just as Pei Tuo was feeling uneasy within,
Ji Shaoli spoke again, "Brother Pei, what do you think?"
"If you have no objections, then let us set off now."
Pei Tuo naturally hurried to agree.
Next, the two of them used the Teleportation Array and first transferred via Ten Thousand Immortals Island.
Then they set out towards the hinterland of the Immortal Alliance.
This slightly reduced Pei Tuo’s worries.
"At the very least, it definitely isn’t coming from the Fifth Elder Club," he thought to himself.
They arrived at Gu Feng State and exited the Floating Sky City.
Ji Shaoli used a Secret Technique to hide their tracks,
Then hastened on their journey, arriving at a desolate Gobi desert.
After looking around carefully to ensure there were no Cultivators nearby,
Ji Shaoli pointed to the air and quietly spoke through a transmission, "Thousand Rocks Cave Heaven is located right here."
Pei Tuo was slightly startled; then he soared up to the location Ji Shaoli pointed to and began carefully sensing around.
Sure enough, the presence of an ownerless Cave Heaven made him ecstatic.
At the same time, the shock in his heart wasn’t easy to hide.
"You can advance here,"
"I will protect the law for you,"
Ji Shaoli said calmly.
