Another two months passed quietly, and the Tier Three Flying Vessel finally reached the domain of the Three Elements Immortal City.

Chen Sheng stood on the deck of the flying vessel, gazing into the distance.

In the distance, at the horizon, a sprawling and magnificent complex of buildings unfolded, covering an area of several thousand miles.

Some buildings towered into the clouds like giant pillars holding up the sky, while others were exquisite and elegant, like palaces of jade, all exuding rich spiritual energy and a majestic aura.

Especially above the Immortal City, amidst a rolling sea of clouds, floated an enormous mountain range.

The mountain range was grand and majestic, as if a celestial mountain had fallen from the nine heavens, emanating a multicolored radiance.

Sometimes immortal cranes flitted between the mountains, and sometimes spiritual springs dripped from the cliffs. Amidst the swirling mists, it seemed as if a true celestial court had descended to the mortal realm.

Even more astonishing was the intricate array of restrictions circulating around it, emitting a formidable and heavy presence, like invisible giant nets, guarding it as securely as a fortress.

"Has the fellow Daoist ever seen such a mountain before?"

Master Nine Profound stood beside, noticing Chen Sheng's shocked expression, and laughed heartily.

Chen Sheng, full of awe, nodded slightly, his voice carrying a hint of an almost imperceptible tremor:

"I had only read accounts of the Three Elements Immortal City in a Jade Scroll—the Primordial Magnetic Divine Mountain, high suspended above the Cloud Sea, like a celestial court. But those written descriptions don't compare to the impact of seeing it with my own eyes."

Upon hearing this, Master Nine Profound nodded in deep agreement:

"Indeed, one wonders what kind of Great Divine Techniques the Three Elements True Monarch possessed back then, to obtain such a grand divine mountain and suspend it above the Cloud Sea, becoming the symbol of the Three Elements Dao Sect."

Chen Sheng smiled lightly at this, as he was well-versed in arrays and could understand the principle somewhat.

Suspending above the Cloud Sea likely used Primordial Magnetic Power linked with the Earth Veins to form a subtle balance, allowing the Divine Mountain to float without falling.

How it was obtained involves the domain of Void Shifting Grand Arrays.

Yet understanding aside, witnessing such a miracle in person, his heart's awe did not diminish.

He thought to himself:

"No wonder the Jade Scroll states that the Primordial Magnetic Divine Mountain, combined with the Power of the Earth Veins, forms the Pole Primordial Magnetic Array, whose power nearly reaches the standard of a Tier Five Array, rendering even the Celestial Venerable of Divinity Transformation helpless!"

"The Three Elements Dao Sect's enduring legacy of a thousand years is greatly attributed to this array, which has almost become an unshakable symbol."

Thinking of this, Chen Sheng was extremely satisfied:

"Finally, there's a stable place for cultivation."

He turned around and, facing Master Nine Profound and Master Qing Xiao, cupped his hands:

"Thank you to both fellow Daoists for the care along the way. Now that we've reached the Three Elements Immortal City, we shall part here."

Master Nine Profound chuckled and said:

"I wouldn't call it care, just a convenient gesture. Speaking of which, our practice duel the other day might have disturbed your peace."

Upon hearing this, Chen Sheng recalled the duel two months ago, which was akin to a playful event, and smiled lightly:

"Not a disturbance at all. As Brother Nine Profound said, it was merely a matter of convenience, a rightful act."

Master Qing Xiao also looked at Chen Sheng, his eyes carrying more approval than when they first met, and nodded gently:

"If the fellow Daoist has an idea, you can seek me anytime in the Myriad Swords Immortal City."

Chen Sheng cupped his hands, took out the Sword Jade given by Master Qing Xiao from his Storage Pouch, and held it lightly in his hand, smiling as he saluted:

"Thanks for the kind offer. Once I've thought it through, I will come to visit."

Master Nine Profound, unaware of the agreement between the two, looked at the Sword Jade in their hands with a face full of questions. Master Qing Xiao casually explained.

Upon hearing this, Master Nine Profound laughed heartily and looked at Chen Sheng:

"In that case, we will await your grand visit."

Chen Sheng nodded with a smile, said no more, and with a light step, transformed into a Cyan Rainbow, darting toward the direction of the Three Elements Immortal City, soon merging into the flow of people at the city's periphery.

Once inside the Immortal City, Chen Sheng did not pause at all, making his way swiftly to the place that specialized in selling information.

It was a palace entirely carved from White Jade, with mystical restriction runes inscribed on the walls around it, emitting a faint spiritual light, giving it a mysterious and solemn feel.

"Smoke Rain Pavilion! Quite a fitting name."

Chen Sheng looked at the ancient plaque above the entrance and mused to himself.

He stepped into the palace, no longer concealing the fluctuations of his mana around him, revealing his Fake Pill Cultivator's aura.

Soon, a Foundation Establishment Stage female cultivator in a light purple dress came up to him. She had a graceful demeanor and greeted Chen Sheng respectfully:

"Greetings, Senior. How may I assist you today?"

Chen Sheng glanced at her and got straight to the point:

"I need information on the Three Elements Dao Sect. Do you have it here?"

The Foundation Establishment Female Cultivator maintained a professional smile and nodded:

"Senior jests. In the Three Elements Immortal City, how could there be no information on the Three Elements Dao Sect?"

"However, such intelligence is classified as top secret and can only be sold with the personal approval of the elder of the pavilion. Senior, please follow me, I will report to the elder right away."

Saying this, she led Chen Sheng to an elegantly furnished chamber.

Inside the chamber, the decor was tasteful; the furniture, all crafted from millennia-old Purple Sandalwood, and a furnace in the corner was burning spiritual incense that calmed and focused the mind, filling the air with a faint fragrance.

The female cultivator offered a cup of fragrant spirit tea and then turned to leave to report to the elder.

In another room, an old Fake Pill Cultivator with white hair and beard was meditating with his eyes closed.

Upon hearing that a cultivator wished to purchase intelligence on the Three Elements Dao Sect, he only nodded slightly, not paying it too much attention.

In the Three Elements Immortal City, many cultivators sought such intelligence, mostly Loose Cultivators looking to join the Dao Sect, and this was unlikely to harm the sect.

In his heart, he mused:

"It seems another fellow Daoist wishes to join us."

In the chamber, Chen Sheng was leisurely savoring the spirit tea, and soon the old Fake Pill Cultivator entered at a slow pace.

The old man wore a cordial smile and cupped his hands towards Chen Sheng:

"I am Master Cold Water. May I have the honor of knowing your noble name, fellow Daoist?"

Chen Sheng nodded in return:

"I am Tingyu."

Master Cold Water laughed and said:

"So it's Fellow Daoist Tingyu. The Dao Sect's intelligence is vast; acquiring it all would be astronomical. What type of intelligence does fellow Daoist require?"

Hearing this, Chen Sheng understood that complete and detailed intelligence on the Three Elements Dao Sect must be expensive.

After mulling over it, he replied:

"Let me have as complete intelligence as possible, not too detailed, just enough for a comprehensive understanding of the Three Elements Dao Sect."

Pausing, he added:

"And also some detailed intelligence about joining the Dao Sect, including entry conditions, pathways, and various benefits."

Master Cold Water laughed heartily upon hearing this:

"Fellow Daoist is straightforward, please wait a moment while I calculate the price."

Saying this, he took out a gleaming Magic Artifact Round Disc from his storage pouch, engraved with dense runes, recording line after line of information.

He swiftly traced characters on the disc with his fingers, then reported a price:

"Three thousand lower grade spirit stones in total."

This price was not low, equivalent to a qualified Foundation Establishment Pill.

Chen Sheng's face showed a hint of 'painful reluctance'; he hesitated for a moment before gritting his teeth and retrieving three thousand lower grade spirit stones from his storage ring, stacking them neatly on the table.

Master Cold Water's face continued to smile, accustomed to such scenes, he paid no mind to Chen Sheng's 'reluctance.'

He gestured and said, "Fellow Daoist, please wait a moment!"

Soon, the previous Foundation Establishment Female Cultivator entered with a jade disc in her hands, on which were placed two jade scrolls, their surfaces emitting a faint light of restriction, clearly sealed by a special method.

Master Cold Water spoke with a smile:

"The jade scrolls are sealed with our pavilion's unique restriction; they require a special method to be unlocked. Without it, even possessing them, one cannot see the contents inside."

Chen Sheng nodded in understanding and pushed the spirit stones towards Master Cold Water.

Master Cold Water took the spirit stones, quickly scanned them with his divine sense, confirmed their correctness, then formed hand seals, muttering an incantation. With a sweep of his sleeve, he unlocked the restriction on the jade scrolls and handed them to Chen Sheng.

Chen Sheng accepted the jade scrolls, first checking them carefully with his divine sense. After ensuring there were no issues, he inserted his divine sense into the jade scrolls and quickly scanned through them.

Moments later, he gently nodded, evidently content with the intelligence provided.

Seeing this, Cold Water Daoist smiled and asked:

"Is fellow Daoist satisfied? If you wish to join the Dao Sect, I could facilitate the introduction, requiring just this much."

He held up three fingers to indicate a price.

Chen Sheng shook his head and said:

"The intelligence is satisfactory; thank you, fellow Daoist, but the introduction is unnecessary."

Saying this, Chen Sheng stored the jade scrolls in his storage pouch and quickly departed.

Master Cold Water watched his figure disappear from the palace gates, nodding slightly with a thought:

"It seems this Fellow Daoist Tingyu is quite confident. I wonder what unique skill he possesses, daring to attempt joining the Three Elements Dao Sect without an introduction."

Meanwhile, Chen Sheng had already left the Smoke Rain Pavilion, his divine sense carefully scrutinizing the information within the jade scroll.

Then he looked up at the Primordial Magnetic Divine Mountain suspended above the cloud sea, thinking to himself:

"Here I come!"
