Chapter 715: Records, Robes, and Decree! The Breakthrough at Last!

“Surprise?” Chen Han asked, surprised: “It seems our Chen Family hasn’t had any contact with the association, and we’re not even registered.”

Daoist Chen smiled and said, “The association has recorded the Chen Family separately. Daoist Li, the president, proposed it, and our Sect Leader, Celestial Master Dragon and Tiger, and the other vice presidents all agreed.”

“They’ve opened a separate page.” Chen Han didn’t expect to hear such news right after getting off the plane.

In other words, it doesn’t matter which lineage the Chen Family came from before, or whether it was registered.

From now on, the Chen Family will be just like Wudang, Dragon and Tiger Mountain, Purple Cloud Temple… establishing its own lineage.

At this moment, the game system suitably appeared with a notification:

[Congratulations, you received unexpected news on the eve of participating in the Immortal Alliance’s Dao Conference. Due to the Chen Family’s ongoing contributions against the Demon Dao, all sects of the Immortal Sect will acknowledge the Chen Family’s independent lineage, greatly elevating its status within the Immortal Alliance. Yet a family establishing its own lineage merely through merit is difficult to believe. Sufficient prowess must be demonstrated to truly earn everyone’s trust. Please convince all sects at the Dao Conference organized by the Immortal Alliance!]

Chen Han, upon seeing this, realized the game system was referring to the Wudang Feng Shui Exchange.

The system truly couldn’t hide its blatant references.

Given it’s a Feng Shui Exchange, with his Feng Shui prowess, convincing the Daoists from the Taoist Sect shouldn’t be difficult.

At most, to complete the task, he’ll help Wudang repair the Thunderfire Refining Golden Peak Feng Shui Array Formation.

Of course, if he can’t fix that Feng Shui Array Formation, surely no one else can.

Daoist Chen naturally didn’t know what Chen Han was thinking and smiled again: “Patriarch Chen, yet to offer my congratulations for the outstanding performance of the Chen Family prodigies at the national games.”

“It’s just luck, nothing much to say.” Chen Han’s face still beamed with joy, for naturally, the head of the family felt pleased when the family’s achievements were praised.

Daoist Chen had no way to respond to that.

If Wudang could produce such a competitor, they’d surely host a grand ceremony.

The Daoist driving demonstrated impressive skills, even executing a drift on one stretch, which earned him a sharp reprimand from Daoist Chen before he settled down.

Chen Han laughed at this.

The Taoist Sect Daoists still maintained a lively spirit.

Soon, the car reached Wudang’s entrance, though the entrance wasn’t at the foot of the mountain; they needed to drive further inside to reach the foot, where there was a large parking lot.

In fact, this isn’t the true Wudang but merely the parking lot at the foot of the mountain in the Wudang scenic area, acting as the starting point open to tourists.

In this new era, fueled by tourism economics, naturally, the local authorities aim to develop Wudang as a natural tourist haven.

Yet, a prerequisite for this development is Wudang’s consent, including the interest distribution of the Merit Assets, among other concerns.

The fact that many Wudang areas aren’t open to the public necessitates the construction of new buildings and the expansion of territory for sufficient projects.

Hence, all constructions below the mountainside including the foot of the mountain came into existence.

Daoist Chen and Chen Han naturally can’t park in the scenic area.

The Feng Shui Exchange is conducted within the internal area of Wudang.

In this new era, even the scenic area has been developed, so the car can directly drive up the mountain.

The division between Wudang’s internal area and the scenic area is closely linked.

The scenic area starts from the foot of the mountain and extends upwards, further divided into seven major scenic areas such as Taiji Lake, Xuanyue Sect, Crown Prince Slope, Nanyan Palace, Golden Summit, Five Dragon Palace, and Jade Terrace.

All the way up, the majority of Wudang’s internal area connects to these scenic areas.

Among them, Five Dragon Palace is completely closed to the public.

Five Dragon Palace is situated deep in the mountainous backside of Wudang, where the most intact ancient architectural complex of Wudang is preserved, which is also the location for this Feng Shui Exchange.

Part of Zixiao Palace, part of Nanyan Palace, certain floors in Crown Prince Slope’s Five Clouds Tower, Zixiao Palace’s Kun Dao Institute, and multiple ancient buildings at the top of the mountain, linked with Five Dragon Palace, are essentially not open to the public.

Yet some portions belong to the scenic part, indicating their precise connection.

Due to the Feng Shui Array Formation, the renowned Alchemy Peak is currently closed to the public.

All the way up the mountain, Chen Han observed the lush trees covering the mountain, suddenly making a surprising discovery.

He saw three positions standing with three types of ancient trees: one ginkgo, two pines, and three elms.

The critical aspect is their positions; these three placements, in terms of Wudang’s overall mountain layout, seem to correspond to the Seven Luminaries positions.

Previously, he saw in the Feng Shui Spirit Recording Stone’s “Basic Feng Shui” book the type of Feng Shui setup: ‘star positions, utilizing the aura of ancient trees to draw on the geomantic veins.’

Simply put, the combination of ancient trees and star positions suggests a significant Feng Shui situation.

This implies these ancient trees may indeed relate to the Feng Shui setup, yet judging by the situation, Wudang may be unaware.

One ancient tree had quite a few tourists gathered around taking photos.

The influx of popularity impacting the star position should have already caused a reaction in the Feng Shui setup; meaning even if there was a Feng Shui setup, the arrangement has already been broken.

This confirmed that Wudang is unaware, and one can see that Wudang indeed has depth.

Or perhaps, in history, Ancestor Sanfeng indeed was an extraordinary person, at least adept in Feng Shui capabilities.

The car quickly stopped at a parking lot further up the mountain, still within the scenic area range. Beyond here was the true internal region.

Walking was required after this point.

As Chen Han and Xiaomi exited the car, they could still see tourists coming and going from the scenic area.

“Patriarch Chen, Cultivator Xiaomi, this way please.” Daoist Chen invited the pair to head towards the internal area staircase, completely unaware someone in a car in the parking lot was already filming them with a camera.
