Evil Master and Disciple

Chapter 1527 The Knowledgeable Chu Liunian

Among Ye Feng and his group, who is the most knowledgeable about sect site selection?

Of course, it's Chu Liunian.

Like the Cloud Sea Sect, the Jade Maiden Sect originally belonged to the Taoist lineage.

Although it is not a traditional Taoist sect like the Xuanzhen Sect, it still has many elements within its sect.

This includes Taoist feng shui and geomancy techniques, among others.

Of course, the selection of a sect's location is not solely based on geomancy; many practical factors must also be considered.

For example, there are many factors to consider, such as whether there are sects nearby, how many sects there are, how high the main peak is, how high the surrounding peaks are, etc.

Chu Liunian was originally groomed by Fairy Mengchu as her successor. Over the years, she has participated in various affairs of the sect, both large and small, and has gained extensive knowledge and experience.

Especially in matters of sect management and site selection, his abilities far surpass those of Ye Feng and Ling Yunzhi, two half-baked individuals.

Chu Liunian quickly discerned the merits and demerits of this Azure Peak.

In her view, the disadvantages of establishing a sect here outweigh the advantages, and she does not agree with relocating the Holy Maiden Sect here.

Upon hearing Chu Liunian say that Tianqing Peak was not suitable for establishing a sect, Ye Feng, Ling Yunzhi, and Qin Ying all looked puzzled and asked Chu Liunian to explain in more detail.

Chu Liunian then explained it to the three of them in detail.

"Tianqing Peak is too high, over a thousand feet tall, making it the highest peak within a hundred miles, and its spiritual energy is abundant. The Buddhist sect must have chosen to establish a large temple here because of these two points. However, this is precisely a major drawback."

Ye Feng looked puzzled and said, "Why? Our Yunhai Sect's Xingluo Peak is many times taller than this Tianqing Peak, and the Yunhai Sect is doing quite well, isn't it?"

Chu Liunian shook his head and said, "This place naturally cannot be compared with Xingluo Peak. Xingluo Peak is located in the center of the Tianyun Mountain Range, which is three thousand miles away, and has a vast area of ​​depth in all directions. However, Tianqing Peak is located in the northern part of the Tianyun Mountain Range, only a little over a hundred miles away from the towns where ordinary people live. Although Tianqing Peak is magnificent, its northern depth and radiation range is too small, making it difficult to produce great things."

The second point is based on the sect's security considerations.

The location of a sect is carefully selected because once a sect is established in a certain place, it will generally not choose to relocate unless it faces the crisis of the sect's demise.

Tianqing Peak is over a thousand feet tall, while the surrounding mountains within a radius of several dozen miles are all low hills, the tallest being only two hundred feet.

To prevent this place from becoming a sitting duck, a protective array must be set up around Tianqing Peak. This array consists of two parts: an external defense and an internal trapping and killing formation. The outer defense array usually relies on the terrain, setting up array points on several peaks around the main peak to form a huge magic array that can cover an area of ​​tens of miles.

The internal trapping formation is usually centered on the main peak, with the outer defensive formations connected to each other, keeping the enemy between the two formations.

However, because the surrounding mountains are too low, even if a protective array is set up, it cannot protect the entire Tianqing Peak. At most, it can only cover the mountainside, which is a major drawback.

Your Yunhai Sect is different. In the early years, in addition to the main peak Xingluo Peak, your Yunhai Sect also had four outer peaks, such as Luoxia Peak, which is one of the four peaks of Yunhai. These four peaks are the key points of the Yunhai Sect's protective array.

However, the founder of Yunhai Sect later discovered that although the four mountain peaks were very tall, they still could not fully support the satellite Luo Peak.

Therefore, the founders of the Yunhai Sect began to deploy a three-dimensional defense system based on the floating islands in the air around Xingluo Peak.

After the Jiazi Immortal Hunt, the Yunhai Sect suffered heavy losses and was no longer able to maintain the four outer peaks. In addition, the Demonic Sect launched a sneak attack that first destroyed the four outer peaks. As a result, the Yunhai Sect completely abandoned the four outer peaks, which is why the four peaks of Yunhai exist today.

To the east is Qingling Peak, to the south is Chiyun Peak, to the west is Xuanzhu Peak, and to the north is Tianxing Peak.

Although the four peaks of the Cloud Sea Sect are all floating islands, their locations are quite significant. They are all situated above or near the old four peaks, forming a harmonious relationship with the core of the old four peaks.

In the event of an external attack, the elders of the Yunhai Sect will immediately activate the array cores of the four old branches. The four new branches, acting as a relay station, can amplify the array power of the four old branches, thereby covering the entire Xingluo Peak.

At this point, Chu Liunian paused for a moment and looked around again.

"If we want to build a sect here, we need to do what the Cloud Sea Sect does: set up several floating islands in the air around Azure Peak. Each floating island will need a lot of disciples to live and maintain it for a long time."

The Holy Maiden Sect doesn't have that many people, and Sect Leader Ye, you probably don't have the ability to set up a floating island.

After all, even the Buddhist sects of yesteryear couldn't suspend a mountain in mid-air, and the other major sects didn't have that ability either.

Currently, among all the floating islands in the human world, only your Cloud Sea Sect exists.

The young master just said that this place has been abandoned by Buddhism for more than 1,200 years.

Judging from the houses and temples from the foot of the mountain to the mountainside, as well as the square and Buddhist hall in front of us, the investment that Buddhism made in this Fengji Temple in the past was enormous.

But why did Buddhism withdraw from this place as early as 1,200 years ago?

That was precisely the time when the Yunhai Sect was slowly recovering from the Jiazi Immortal Hunting War, and the Yunhai Sect began to gradually eliminate the Buddhist forces in the Tianyun Mountains.

Fengji Nunnery must have realized the drawbacks of this place, so when Yunhai Sect exerted even a little pressure, they simply withdrew. They knew that if Yunhai Sect became stronger and used force to expel Fengji Nunnery, Fengji Nunnery wouldn't be able to hold out. Therefore, places like Fengji Nunnery, rich in spiritual energy, became among the first Buddhist forces to leave Tianyun Mountain.

Chu Liunian revealed the real reason why Feng Ji'an abandoned this place back then.

It wasn't that the Yunhai Sect was particularly powerful at the time, but rather that after these nuns settled here, they discovered that this place was not suitable for the long-term development of a large sect. If any unforeseen events occurred, it could easily be captured by enemies.

Ye Feng, Ling Yunzhi, and Qin Ying, like three bumpkins, nodded in sudden realization.

Ling Yunzhi thought to himself, "Luckily, Old Ye came to scout out the new site tonight and brought Chu Liunian with him."

Fortunately, Chu Liunian was not a woman who couldn't think straight, and she didn't get angry and quit because of Lao Ye and Lingyin's matter.

If it were him and Ye Feng, those two old lechers whose minds are only occupied with sleeping with women, who were choosing a location for the Holy Maiden Sect, the first stop would probably be the last. After seeing Tianqing Peak, they would immediately decide to settle on this location and wouldn't look at any other places.
