Lin Mu and the rest traveled non stop to the Noon Grass sect and finally reached it after two days. 

~huu~

Lin Mu came to a stop at a small hill and looked at the sect in front of him. Similar to a lot of other sects, the noon grass sect was primarily built on top of mountains, but these were not natural mountains.

It was said that the founder of the Noon Grass sect started with a single mountain that he built upon a spirit stone mine with the use of a great Earth technique called as Mountain Raising Scripture.

With that single mountain, came into existence one of the top ten sects, The Noon Grass sect. From there on, the number of mountains increased and it finally reached the current thirteen peaks.

Though from these thirteen peaks, only five of them were official peaks where elders and other sect buildings were located. The rest of the peaks were used as a residences for the disciples and for other purposes such as spirit herb gardens and farms. 

There were also beast farms built to raise special beasts that could be used for various uses in multiple fields.

Plus unlike the other top sects, the noon grass sect didn't really have a formal entrance test. And neither did it formally recruit disciples at regular time periods. Instead, the disciples were all either picked by the elders when they went out or they were brought in by the disciples.

The sect still had the right to reject the candidates, of course, but it was something that seldom happened. The Noon Grass sect was the most secluded of all the top ten sects and rarely participated in events that happened in the secular world, or even among the other sects.

Only when they were officially sent messages and requests would they appear. Having them to voluntarily appear for events was a matter of luck. 

This was mostly due to the philosophy that the sect propagated among their members of keeping to themselves and focusing on self improvement without caring for the opinion of others.

"We're finally here!" Lin Mu said out loud.

"This is our Noon Grass sect and its thirteen peaks." Elder Weimin introduced.

Lin Mu looked around and got a sense of the area. He could feel the spirit Qi in the air being slightly higher than normal, but it was barely 30% of what was in the Kong Plane. He could also feel a dense life aura around the entire sect.

Not only that, but the more he focused on the south, the greater life he could feel there.

'This is truly a marvelous place. The southern forest is right beyond the sect, so the vital energy fluctuation in the region is quite strong too. It quite the opposite of the desert we were in earlier…' Lin Mu thought to himself.

"Come on, I'll take you to the main peak. The disciples who are not assigned duties right now will return to their respective posts." Elder Weimin stated.

Lin Mu nodded his head and followed behind Elder Weimin as he brought them to the main peak of the Noon Grass sect. The main peak was located far from where they were standing and was closest to the great Southern forest.

"So this is where the boundary between the former Central Continent and the Southern continent exists." Lin Mu muttered to himself. 

He had long since been curious about the former continents and had been learning about them. This was his first time entering an area that was not originally part of the Central continent.

While flying over the sect, Lin Mu could see the various paths that were paved with unique rocks of the area. They were pockmarked and looked rather strange. But when many of them were put together, they gave off a rather calming vibe.

Lin Mu could see the winding paths forming a rather harmonious pattern around the peaks. It was as if they were in tune with the heavens, and the Feng Shui of the area was optimum.

He could even feel the change in his mind just by being here.

"This is different…" Lin Mu said, seeing the changes.

"Haha, new guests do feel like this whenever they visit our sect. The paths and various buildings you are seeing below are all in the form of a giant formation array. It is called as the Earthly Harmony Formation Array." Elder Weimin explained.

Lin Mu raised his brows upon hearing this. He had learned about the Earthly Harmony formation array and knew that it was one of the Formation arrays belonging to the rare category of Mental enhancement formations.

They were relatively complex to set up and often needed perfect areas to create them.

'Since the sect was made artificially, it makes sense that they could use this formation array.' Lin Mu thought to himself.

Usually, a cultivation sect would prefer to set a spirit Qi gathering formation array in the interior of the sect so that they could increase the concentration of spirit Qi in the sect. But the Noon Grass sect did not do the same.

Rather than that, they followed their unique philosophy and chose to set this array that could help the disciples improve their mental fortitude and temperament. One must know that it was one of the most important things that a cultivator needed to have.

After all, a cultivator with a weak temperament and fortitude might not even be able to reach the Core condensation realm. The higher they went, the better patience and fortitude they needed.

Not only would it keep them on the right path, but it would also prevent them from having mental demons, or perhaps even heart demons.

In the middle of the sect, Lin Mu could see a thin but very noticeable demarcation line that was made with a dark black rock.

"What's that?" Lin Mu pointed.

"That is the true boundary of the Central and Southern Continents. The Noon Grass sect is the only one that exists in two former continents at the same time and since they have different geomancies, we use this line to mark that.." Elder Weimin answered.
