Celestial Mist Peak

After that, Varun and Avantika each left to the disciple management hall while Arjun opened the book and read about the top 13 peaks (which had 2nd tier top grade Spirit veins. 

The names of the peaks according to their rank were: 

Azure Sky Peak 

Dragon's Roar Peak

Phoenix Flame Peak 

Golden Sun Peak 

Celestial Mist Peak 

Little Sword Peak 

Shadow Veil Peak 

Lotus Bloom Peak 

Starlight Obsidian Peak 

Void's Edge Peak 

Heavenly Ascent Peak 

Thunder Cry Peak 

Ethereal Spirit Peak 

These were the top 13 peaks of outer court. Arjun also read the description about these peaks, like the Azure sky peak specializes in secret arts related to elements, while the Dragon's Roar Peak specializes in harnessing dragon Qi. 

What caught Arjun's attention was that the Celestial Mist Peak had a description saying cultivators who want to be at heights to cultivate Qi, or those who want to be closer to nature can join the peak. 

Arjun decided to join it because, according to his theory of cultivation, being at high position will make his time of cultivation longer. Because the taller it is the more sunrise time it has. 

Arjun also learned that the top 13 peaks accepted only 5 disciples each year, unlike the other peaks which had to accept hundreds, if not even thousands. 

Arjun then started towards the disciple management hall. After two hours he arrived there, He went to the elder present there and registered with him. 

The elder then gave him a plaque and asked him to show it to the disciples at Celestial Mist Peak's management hall. 

After another four hours, he arrived at the Celestial Mist Peak, he went to the disciple management hall, which was empty with only two people standing at the reception. 

Arjun went to a female disciple present there and said, "Good afternoon Senior sister, I am here to join the Celestial Mist Peak" and gave her the plaque given by the elder at outer court disciple management hall. 

The girl at the front desk looked at him and then took the plaque, after that she took out another token and a storage bag and gave them to Arjun and said "Inject your Qi into that token, it is used as identification, that you are an outer court disciple belonging to Celestial mist peak, and that storage bag contains three spirit stones, don't lose the storage bag, you will not receive another one if you lose it, they cost 20 low grade spirit stones for each one. You will have to come here every month to receive your monthly spirit stones". 

"That storage bag also contains the void finger secret technique, a 1st tier mid grade one, provided to all the disciples in the sect. Now come with me you should light your soul lamp".

Arjun immediately accepted them and said, "Thank you, senior sister". After that he went with the girl inside a hall where hundreds of lamps were placed. She gave Arjun an empty lamp and asked him to place his both hands on it, and when he placed the hands it lit up with purple flame.

The girl then looked at him and said, "Follow me, I will show your cultivation abode". She then took out a small miniature sword and injected Qi into it. The miniature sword immediately became large, and after that she jumped onto it and asked Arjun to stand on it as well. 

After Arjun jumped onto it, the flying sword slowly started to move slowly. Ater fifteen minutes they arrived at the middle section of the peak, if Arjun were to walk this distance, he would have taken at least three hours, to come up. 

After that the female disciple gave Arjun another token and said "This is the key to activate the formation inside the house, this formation can withstand all the attacks below Foundation building realm and can even withstand three attacks from a foundation building realm cultivator. If you need anything else, you can visit the disciple management hall" and she left. 

After looking at the leaving female disciple, Arjun went into the house, it was a simple house, made using wood, having a living room, two bedrooms, a kitchen, a bathroom, two meditation halls, and a storeroom. 

Arjun activated the formation, and started to clean the house, using the broom in the storage room. After that he explored the surroundings of the house and found the environment to be very peaceful, with beautiful trees growing around, he also found that the houses beside him were vacant and even these vacant houses were 50m away from each other, meaning that the disciples living on Celestial mist peak were low, due to its low acceptance rate. 

Arjun went to attend Alchemy classes, there he found Pavitra waiting for him and went near her and said "Pavitra, I am here". 

"Oh, Arjun, thank God you came, I thought that you may not come for today and was about to go in" Pavitra said with sigh of relief and asked curiously "Arjun what Peak have you chosen". 

"I chose the Celestial Mist Peak; it is said to be tallest peak in the outer sect" Arjun said proudly. 

On listening to him Ananya, with determination in her eyes, said "Then I will also join the Celestial mist peak" 

On listening to her Arjun immediately said "I wish you all the best Pavitra, but if you want to join it you should become a cultivator as soon as possible. Celestial Mist Peak, being one of the top 13 peaks in the Outer court only accepts 5 disciples every year". 

Pavitra didn't back down and said "Then I will focus on cultivation and become a cultivator as soon as possible" 

"Ok, Pavitra, let's get inside the class is going to start" Arjun said to her, dragging her inside. 

After the alchemy classes, Arjun also attended the Array classes, and had the same conversation with Ahalya, after that Arjun went to a market to buy his daily supplies. In the map provided by the Elder, Arjun saw that there were 35 markets in the outer peak. Arjun estimated that there could be at least 120 thousand disciples, Arjun was almost correct in guessing, the outer peak had around 150 thousand disciples, this is a number which was stable across the years with disciples leaving the sect, dying, getting promoted to inner court, and with tens of thousands of disciples joining every three years.

The inner court contained, all the foundation building realm disciples of the sect, numbering around 22 thousand, and if one becomes a golden core realm cultivator below the age of 150, one would be promoted to core disciples, while those who are promoted after the age of 150 can choose to become outer court elders. Which means, that all 169 peaks had a Golden Core realm cultivator residing in them. 

All the elders of the inner sect are at Nascent-soul realm, while the sect master was a legendary Soul formation realm cultivator, head of one of the core peaks, meaning that the heads of the other two core peaks should also be at least Soul formation realm cultivators.
