The Almighty Dominance (by Sunshine) novel Chapter 583

The Wudang Sect stretched across thirteen mountains.

Each department claimed its own peak, its own territory carved into the vast range. From a distance the mountains looked like a silent army of stone rising into the clouds.

At the very center stood the tallest mountain of them all.

That peak belonged to the sect leader and the elders—the true heart of Wudang.

Li Chingxue soared through the sky with Alex beside her, her robes fluttering like silver wings in the mountain wind. They flew toward one of the surrounding peaks, Thousand Herbs Peak.

Where the Pill Refinement Department was located.

The sect leader had already given Li Chingxue clear instructions.

Once Alex officially entered the Outer Sect, he would be assigned to the Pill Refinement Department.

From afar, the mountain didn’t look particularly large. It seemed quiet and ordinary compared to the towering peaks around it.

But the moment they descended onto the mountain path, the illusion vanished.

Birdsong echoed through the air.

The scent of herbs drifted everywhere, thick and fragrant.

The entire place looked like a hidden paradise.

The deeper they walked, the clearer it became that the mountain was far larger than it had appeared from the outside. Terraced fields stretched across the hillsides, each one carefully planted with medicinal herbs.

Alex had heard rumors before.

The entire mountain served as a massive plantation for rare herbs. Everything grown here was precious. The herbs that eventually reached the Servant’s kitchens were simply the ones considered too ordinary to be used for pill refinement.

Even the leftovers here were treasures elsewhere.

A thin mist rolled through the valleys, carrying waves of medicinal fragrance.

One breath was enough to lift the spirit.

Warmth flowed through the body like gentle fire.

His eyes widened.

His cultivation base suddenly stirred. Energy surged through his meridians as if the air itself carried spiritual power.

This place was extraordinary.

He could feel it immediately.

Ahead of him, Li Chingxue’s eyes flickered slightly.

Even she had to admit it.

Alex’s cultivation progress over the past year was frightening. Most disciples would need several years to achieve what he had done in one.

She spoke without slowing her pace.

“Now that you are officially an Outer Sect disciple,” she said calmly, “you will receive your Wudang sect name.”

Alex straightened slightly, listening carefully.

“You belong to the Jun generation,” she continued. “And you will keep the same number—Nine.”

She paused briefly before finishing.

“From today onward, your sect name will be Jun Jiu.”

“The name Jun Jiu means a gentleman. A man of upright character.”

She glanced at him sideways.

“So try to act like one.”

Her tone carried a faint warning.

“No more causing trouble.”

Alex instantly put on the most charming smile he could manage.

He nodded rapidly.

“Of course. Of course. I’m the most well-behaved disciple in the entire sect.”

Li Chingxue didn’t even bother responding

“Cultivation,” she said calmly, “is like rowing a boat against the current.”

“If you stop moving forward, you will be pushed backward.”

“It requires constant effort.”

Alex nodded, wisely kept his mouth shut this time.

Arguing with Li Chingxue was rarely a good idea.

“Sect resources are only part of what helps an Outer Sect disciple grow,” she continued.

“You also have to rely on your own efforts.”

Her voice carried the calm authority of someone who had walked this path for many years.

“The sect offers missions for its disciples. Completing them earns you resources, experience, and opportunities.”

“In a moment,” she said, “you can visit the mission hall.”

Her eyes settled on Alex again.

“Pick a few tasks.”

“Consider them the beginning of your training.”

When Alex heard that, his heart gave a sudden, heavy thump.
