Doctor of Science's Journey into Another World

Chapter 338: In and Out of the Divine Mountain Courtyard

Although Shenshan Court contains the word "Ting" in its name, it is actually not a large courtyard or mansion, nor is it a magnificent architectural complex.

Shenshanting is actually a long mountain range, the main part of which is composed of nine ten-thousand-meter-high mountains. There are nine peaks on it, and the peaks are covered with snow all year round. Therefore, Shenshanting is also known as the Nine Peaks Snow Mountain.

Shenshan Court covers a vast area with intricate internal structure. Various vegetation covers the mountain extremely densely, various birds and animals can be seen everywhere, and there are countless delicious fish in the lakes of various sizes.

After tens of thousands of years of continuous development by the people of the East, Shenshan Court has long become a place where various Eastern forces are based, and countless caves have been carved out inside the already complex mountain.

As the saying goes, if a power organization in the East wants to gain a foothold, it can do without talent, money, or even fame, but it cannot be without a decent cave in the God Mountain Court.

Shenshan Court is not only the social center of the ancient capital of Shenyin, but also the political, economic and cultural center of the entire East. Countless religious sects and organizations have set up their headquarters here.

In this way, although Shenshan Court covers a large area, it is also a place where every inch of land is valuable. It can even be said that it is the place with the most expensive land and housing prices in the entire Walterland continent.

Any small grocery store in Shenshan Court would have started out as a wealthy business if it were placed in other places, and its family background should not be underestimated.

Since Shenshan Court is also considered a part of the Ancient City of Shenyin, it is managed by the Destiny Cult, which has made the Destiny Cult earn a lot of money.

Just by sitting in the carriage of the Cult of Destiny, Bai Hao fully felt what it meant to be truly rich and inhumane.

It takes ten thousand years to grow a small piece of colorful willow branches. Bai Hao had only seen it in books, but the entire roof of the carriage was woven with them.

There are 88 pieces of priceless green colored glaze inlaid on the walls of the room. It is said that this magic stone, buried ten thousand meters deep underground, has not been found for thousands of years.

Even the brown carriage floor that Bai Hao was standing on was made of a sacred mountain wood that was worth thousands of gold per gram. This tree, which grew at the highest point of the Jiufeng Snow Mountain, could help people attain enlightenment, but due to its rarity it was now forbidden to cut it down.

Bai Hao kept raising his eyebrows as he listened to Yang Xiaoyun's introduction in the carriage. This carriage was the highest standard of reception etiquette of the Church of Destiny, and it truly was a perfect reflection of the Church's strong financial resources.

"Your Highness still likes these superficial and flashy things as always." Olmia looked at Yang Xiaoyun with a complacent look on his face and said softly unexpectedly.

Yang Xiaoyun sensed Olmia's displeasure, and just stroked his beard and chuckled, "Haha, the gold coins will only gather dust if they are placed in the warehouse. It is better to take them out and display them. Even if it is pleasing to the eye, it will also bring out their own value."

"But perhaps there are things more important than jewels and precious stones? If it were me, I would use this money to spread the teachings, save the world, and let the bright moon's divine light cover more believers!"

Yang Xiaoyun nodded after hearing this, and then said calmly: "I also know a little bit about the teachings of the Bright Moon Goddess about saving others and saving oneself, but if it is based on my doctrine of destiny, this kind of luxurious precious light is also a way of preaching."

The brown horse stepped briskly on the bluestone slabs, and the carriage slowly drove into the main gate of Shenshan Courtyard. Listening to the conversation between Yang Xiaoyun and Olmia, Bai Hao's thoughts subconsciously spread out.

Through the square car window, there were only a few leisurely carriages on the spacious avenue. Neatly-lined trees stood tall on both sides, and beneath them were many colorful flowers.

Further away are some pavilions and towers that are scattered around in an orderly manner. Both the materials and colors are more exquisite than the residential buildings in the ancient city of Shenyin.

There is a small pond with spring water in the rockery, and the young men and women are smiling happily.

Shenshan Court is not a place that ordinary people can enter. Power and wealth are only basic requirements. What is more important is real talent and strength.

According to Yang Xiaoyun, the talent and strength that are the entry threshold do not refer to the single magician's combat ability, but if one excels in any aspect, one can enter and exit the Shenshan Court at will.

Poetry, classical music and dance, and heavenly singing voices are all talents recognized by the people of the East, as are common combat prowess, academic theories, and reaching the pinnacle in a certain field.

As long as you think you are qualified enough to enter and leave the God Mountain Court, you can go to the temple of the Destiny God Cult to apply for the qualification. Whether you are a stunning beauty flying across the dome or a mediocre chicken, the God Cult will give the most fair and reasonable judgment.

Youla was still wearing the thin attire common in the East. At this moment, she was leaning against the car window, looking at the scenery along the way with excitement. From time to time, when she saw something interesting, she would pull Bai Hao and shout, as if she was a young lady who had been holding back for eighteen years and was parading for the first time.

Yang Xiaoyun looked at Youla with a smile on his face, with kindness and respect between his eyebrows, but the combination of these two emotions was a bit strange.

The destination of this trip is a mountain in Shenshan Court called Tianding Dome Peak, which is the highest peak among the nine peaks and is also the headquarters temple of the Cult of Destiny.

The carriage was still moving slowly. Yang Xiaoyun seemed to want Youla to appreciate the scenery along the way. His occasional explanations were all about the beautiful things in Shenshan Court.

Youla will leave the East in a few days. Yang Xiaoyun has known this for a long time. However, as the archbishop of the Church of Destiny, Yang Xiaoyun still hopes that Youla can stay in the East, at the headquarters of the Church of Destiny.

The believers of the Cult of Destiny, like the believers of the Cult of the Goddess of the Moon, find it almost impossible to disobey the orders of their respective true gods to descend, so Yang Xiaoyun can only hope to retain Youla by relying on the beautiful scenery of the Sacred Mountain Courtyard.

But in fact, Yang Xiaoyun didn't know that the person he should really keep was Bai Hao. After all, the real reason why Youla left Dongtu was just to stay with Bai Hao.

Olmia on the side did not have such worries. Not to mention that Bai Hao's Campbell family was in the Central Plains, and it was in the Omo Empire, the headquarters of the sect.

Bai Hao himself had already agreed to be the next Son of the Bright Moon, and even Olmya herself had committed herself to it... In short, Bai Hao was almost completely tied to the Bright Moon Goddess Sect.

The carriers of miracles are absolutely important to the sect. Their existence is a reward from the gods, a reassurance to the subject's consciousness, and also a reward for faith.

For all religions, faith is believing in what you cannot see, and the reward of faith is seeing what you believe, and this is the case with miracle carriers.
