According to the method discovered by Chen Xiao, the disciples left the wild garden one by one. Tong Nuonuo insisted on staying until the end to wait for Li Muye, so Tang Ru had to accompany her.

By the time Tang Ru and Tong Nuonuo arrived at a completely new place, only two or three minutes had passed.

Tong Nuonuo took a closer look and her expression changed immediately. She saw a large group of unfamiliar faces that she had never seen before, confronting each other. They were not the first ones to come here.

Xi Yunting's expression was as cold as frost, and his aura was as heavy as a thousand pounds. The opponent who was suppressed by him turned pale, but he insisted on not retreating.

For a moment it was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop, until Li Muye came over and broke the silence.

"Young Master Wang?" he asked in surprise.

Tong Nuonuo then noticed the person walking from behind the crowd. It was indeed Wang Chongdai from Hongfu Pavilion who gave them a ride.

A large number of evil cultivators on the opposite side made way for a passage and waited respectfully for Wang Zhongdai to pass before closing the passage.

"We meet again." Wang Zhongdai remained graceful as ever, nodding to Li Muye. He then looked at Xi Yunting and Jing Hui in front of him with admiration, "Are these two the heroes of Luochen Great Heaven Realm? Nice to meet you, I am Wang Zhongdai from Hongfu Pavilion."

"Zhongxuan Xi Yunting." Xi Yunting said coldly.

"Jinghui of the Golden Zen Sect!" Jinghui's tone was a little harsh.

"Chen Xiao from the Dongyu Sect." Chen Xiao said calmly.

"I am very happy to see you all here. I originally thought that my cousin would arrive first, but I didn't expect that you all would be the first. Taoism is full of talented people, which is really enviable." Wang Zhongdai smiled, and his true emotions could not be seen.

Jing Hui really wanted to sneer and accuse him of being insincere, but he held back the impulse. Wang Zhongdai's realm was far above his, and the evil cultivators behind him were not in the out-of-body stage. It was not clear how to respond at this moment.

Chen Xiao was feeling very nervous. He was discovered as soon as he arrived here. If Xi Yunting had not arrived in time, he would have been surrounded!

I secretly counted the number of people behind the other side, and there were exactly a hundred of them, no more, no less.

At this moment, he began to regret why he was so impatient. If there were a Equipment Refiners' Alliance and people from the temporary alliance present, perhaps he would not be so passive.

Zhao Fang, Chang Shou, De Yuan and other disciples were all very nervous. If Xi Yunting and Jing Hui had not remained calm, they would have been even more panicked.

"Thank you for the compliment, Young Master Wang. Hongfu Pavilion is truly unexpected and admirable." Xi Yunting said calmly.

When they landed on the island, there were clearly only them and the two evil cultivators from the Wang family by the lake. They didn't know how this group of people managed to overtake them and arrive at the third level ahead of them.

Wang Zhongdai smiled and said, "Hongfu Pavilion is a landlord after all. It must master some unknown conveniences in order to stand firm."

Xi Yunting raised his hand and said, "I don't know what Hongfu Pavilion's plan is. Young Master Wang, please tell us everything. Whether it's civil or military, we will proceed with it."

They had plunged into the group of evil cultivators without any preparation, and now they could only wait for the other party to make a way out.

Wang Zhongdai lowered his eyes gracefully like a gentleman and said, "Master Xi has misunderstood me. Our Hongfu Pavilion has always been friendly to Taoists, and I have no ill will towards you." He looked at Li Muye, Tong Nonuo, and Tang Ru, "These three Taoists can prove it for me."

It was not known whether these words were meant to provoke or not, but after Zhao Fang and other disciples turned their heads to look at the three of them, Xi Yunting, Chen Xiao and Jing Hui did not move.

Li Muye and Tang Ru were able to remain calm when being stared at, but Tong Nuonuo couldn't stand it anymore.

He took a breath and said, "We did borrow the connections and fleet of Hongfu Pavilion, but we also paid a price for it. This is just a deal. I dare not prove anything, and I can't bear this responsibility."

Jing Hui couldn't help but said, "Don't talk too much. If you want to fight, then fight. If you don't want to fight, tell your people to leave."

Wang Zhongdai sighed, "It seems that you all have deep prejudices. Well, I will speak frankly. I am here with sincerity to seek cooperation from you. Our Hongfu Pavilion has been mainly engaged in business for generations, and there are very few weapon refiners. Since the Chongshan Immortal Palace appeared, weapon refiners have been in great demand. Talents are hard to come by, so we have been guarding a treasure mountain in vain. As long as you are willing, if we can successfully open the Immortal Palace this time, I am willing to share the materials we obtain with you 50-50."

Jing Hui sneered, "We rejected you once on the lake shore. It was your sister-in-law that time. Now it's your turn to ask, and the answer is still the same."

Wang Zhongdai looked at him and said, "This is a different time. After going through the magic circle and the wild garden, I think you all must know how strange the test of this fairy palace is. If you can have experience to guide you, wouldn't your chances of winning be greater?"

Jing Hui said bluntly: "I admit that your experience in the first two levels is useful, but if you say that you have any useful information on the third level, I don't really believe it. If you really have any, you would have gone in a long time ago. Why are you talking nonsense to us here?"

Even with Wang Zhongdai's shrewdness and self-restraint, he could not tolerate Jing Hui's offense. After all, he was the leader of a sect with a much higher cultivation level than everyone else. His face suddenly darkened and he said, "So, you guys won't give up no matter what?"

Jing Hui looked at Xi Yunting and gritted her teeth and said, "No."

Wang Zhongdai's aura changed, and the evil cultivators behind him looked at them with ill intent, and some of them even began to stealthily take out their magical weapons.

Just as the two sides were about to fight, a person suddenly appeared from another direction, and then people started to come out one after another.

At this critical moment, it was actually people from the Equipment Refiners Alliance who arrived.

Chen Xiao secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He had never found them so pleasing to the eye before.

Wang Zhongdai's heavy aura suddenly lightened, and he smiled faintly, "Since that's the case, let's each see who's really good. Goodbye."

After saying that, he turned around and left through the passage through which the evil cultivators had emerged.

Those evil cultivators either looked unwilling or stabbed him with their eyes in provocation, then walked away behind Wang Zhongdai.

Those Taoists who appeared out looked at the backs of the people from Hongfu Pavilion in surprise and suspicion. It was obvious that they did not expect that a group of people would suddenly appear at the third level.

Xi Yunting ignored the people in the distance and said, "The Immortal Palace can be seen not far away. I think the stairs ahead are the third level."

Chen Xiao nodded and said, "This is the place with the most active aura and the most vigorous vitality. It can be regarded as a blessed land."

Tang Ru frowned and asked, "What should we do?"

In front of them was the Hongfu Pavilion, and next to them were the Equipment Refiners Alliance and other sects in the temporary alliance, with whom they had fallen out. They were attacked from both sides.

Xi Yunting said: "Let's go to the entrance first."

The group did not stay where they were, but walked towards the stairs.

The people from Hongfu Pavilion were heading that way. Fortunately, they did not stop there, but walked further away for a while before stopping.

Chen Xiao and his companions were on the one hand keeping a vigilant eye on the movements of the evil cultivators, and on the other hand carefully studying the stairs which seemed to be unobstructed but were impossible to pass.

At first, dozens of people formed a position that was convenient for attack and defense. Later, a group of Taoist practitioners came over and were pushed to the side.

They don't compete with others. There is no obvious door. It looks the same no matter where you look.

Chen Xiao noticed Wang Chongjia and Wang Chonglang.

Although they were traveling together, many small sects and independent cultivators who were not qualified were still very wary of getting close to them. They all blinked their eyes and hid aside.

Not only did the Wang siblings not take it seriously, they felt very proud to walk through it and join up with Wang Chongdai's men.

Leader Zhang of the Equipment Refiners' Alliance discovered them and looked at them with a cold gaze. Tong Nuonuo's powerful puppet and Chen Xiao's mysteriousness made people fearful. Although he was unswerving in his heart, he did not choose to attack them at this time.

They all knew that the period of time the island was open to the public was not long and it was not worth wasting on irrelevant things.

Leader Zhang led a few people and hurried over, and drove away a few people who dared to be angry but not to speak out from the steps where there was no room to go down.

Chen Xiao stared at that place for a few seconds, then touched Xi Yunting thoughtfully, "Look, isn't that Bai Jiguang?"

Hearing this, Xi Yunting looked at those people and fixed his sight on one of them. "Yes, it's Bai Jiguang."

Chen Xiao felt incredible. "Those who can be brought to the side of Master Zhang must be the top refiners in the Refiner Alliance. Bai Jiguang, a wicked man who works for evil cultivators, can actually get such a high position."

Tong Nuonuo snorted coldly, "Not only that. Bai Jiguang not only has a high status, but also has been greatly cultivated by the Equipment Refiners' Union. He is one of the key personnel trained by the Equipment Refiners' Union to specialize in the Chongshan School in the later period. He is highly valued by Master Zhang, and he is no longer the same as before."

Chen Xiao asked: "He was originally a prisoner. Even if he used his knowledge of Chongshan Palace to buy his freedom, he is still a criminal. Why would the Refiner Alliance focus on such an unreliable person?"

Tong Nuonuo said: "Who knows how he turned his life around. This guy is very resourceful, and he was able to make the Equipment Refiners' Union ignore his bad behavior."

Bai Jiguang was no longer as miserable and dejected as before, and he was even more confident and arrogant than when they first met him.

He stood among several people, looking like he was the center of attention. Even Zhang Huizhu listened attentively and watched him talk.

As if he had noticed their gazes, Bai Jiguang looked over and seemed to recognize Chen Xiao and the others, and immediately revealed an expression of hatred.

But after just a moment, this expression was gone, Bai Jiguang regained his composure and no longer looked at Chen Xiao and others.

Chen Xiao felt even gloomier.

If Bai Jiguang had just put his hatred on the table, he wouldn't have worried. He was just afraid that he would keep his hatred in his heart like he was doing now, and attack him from the dark.

Their current situation is not very good already, and with this unfavorable factor added in, Chen Xiao always has a bad feeling.

Having learned from his previous experience, he no longer dared to ignore this intuitive feeling and told his companions about his concerns.

Jing Hui said, "You don't have to worry too much. The methods to pass the previous two levels are in the hands of the evil cultivators, and the temporary alliance will be united. You see, when the real interests are involved, this loose alliance will immediately collapse. Don't look at their large number. In fact, except for the Equipment Refiner Alliance, Huolian Temple, and Hongfu Pavilion, the rest are not worth worrying about."

Almost everyone stopped in front of the steps. After trying and failing, those immortal cultivators who didn't know how to refine weapons retreated unwillingly.

Chen Xiao and Tong Nuonuo tried everything from magic arrays to magic weapons, but after several hours they gained nothing and had to call it a day.

The place far away from the steps became a place for people to rest. The immortal cultivators showed off their magical powers. Those who had tents set up their tents, and those who had tents lay down directly on the ground. Chen Xiao and his companions simply built a few wooden houses. They could not be said to be the most comfortable to live in, but they were the most conspicuous.

The first day passed, the second day passed, and the third day passed.

When people's excitement died down, most of the weapon refiners in front of the steps dispersed.

These people were not very skilled and had come here with the intention of giving it a try. When they saw that they had no idea what to do, they simply gave up.

Nowadays, most of the people here are just waiting to take advantage.

Chen Xiao and Tong Nuonuo worked together, one was proficient in the most primitive refining techniques of the Chongshan School, and the other was proficient in mechanical techniques and knew a lot of magic arrays. After studying day and night, they finally analyzed that if the Chongshan Fairy Palace wanted to open the entrance, it must give the secret code to the invisible door on the steps.

But what is puzzling is that, just like Yeyuan, there is no hint as to the type of this secret code, and you have to guess it yourself.

"Ahhhhh, if we talk about whose thoughts are the hardest to guess in the world of immortal cultivation, it's only Chongshan!" Tong Nuonuo yelled madly, scratching his chicken coop-like head with his hands. He was in a state of collapse, wishing he could burst into tears. "Is it spiritual power? Magic array? Or magic weapon?"

Chen Xiao sat there indifferently. Amid the noise of Tong Nuonuo's shouting, his eyes were dull and he felt like his brain was drained.

He leaned over the table and sighed, "This is too difficult. No wonder this door has not been opened after a hundred years."

The cryptography of the immortal world is even more complicated than that of the previous life. It is not composed of characters, numbers, or words at all. It is more difficult to decipher than to ascend to heaven!

The spiritual power type is composed of all the spiritual power attributes in the world of immortal cultivation. Just input the correct proportion of spiritual energy.

For the magic array and magic weapon types, you just need to randomly select one or more combinations from the two and throw them into the gate.

God knows how many kinds of magic arrays and instruments there are in the world of immortal cultivation. Even if you try until eternity, until the seas dry up and the rocks crumble, until the heavens are destroyed, you will never be able to figure it out.

Although the number of combinations for spiritual power is not so despairing, it is still an astronomical number. In a world without large computers, relying on manpower is worse than taking a chance.

Who knows, there might be a lucky person whose spiritual attributes just happen to match the criteria, giving him a better chance of success.

The above three types are inferred based on Chongshan’s identity as a weapon refiner.

If Chongshan had a brain storm and didn't choose from the categories related to himself, but chose herbs and elixirs...

Haha, everyone can pack up and go home.

What's even more terrifying is that based on the strangeness of the Time Array and the Wild Garden, the secret language of the gate is likely to be very strange as well.

Tang Ru looked at the two people's miserable appearance and felt very sympathetic.

She complained, "Everyone says Chongshan is so upright and has outstanding character, but I think he is also a frivolous person. Otherwise, why didn't he choose a simple spell or seal?"

"He is a remarkable man of his generation, so naturally he does things in an extraordinary way." Chen Xiao said weakly.

Tong Nuonuo wailed, "Don't you understand? The more unpopular and difficult it is to crack, the more it can show off his outstanding talent."

Chen Xiao immediately understood, so this can be considered as showing off one's skills?

"Well, I've learned a trick. When I want to set a password in the future, I can use Feng Shui aura." Chen Xiao propped himself up and said with shining eyes.

Tang Ru's eyes were full of fear. Was he driven crazy?

At this time, Xi Yunting, Jing Hui and Li Muye walked in from outside.

Seeing that Chen Xiao looked very bad and had no energy at all, Xi Yunting came over and touched his head, saying, "This is not a one-day job, don't worry, brother Xiao."

Jing Hui sat down with great confidence and said, "That's right. So many people have spent hundreds of years trying to figure it out, and you two want to break through it in just a few days. Do you want to exhaust yourselves to death?"

Li Muye hesitated at the door for a moment. After all, he couldn't express his concern as directly as Xi Yunting, so he didn't go in and simply found a pillar to lean on.

"Tell me something that interests you," he said.

Tong Nuonuo immediately turned his head to him, "What?"

"It's about how Zhang Jide and his men lived in Yeyuan." He said. Zhang Jide was the name of Zhang Huizhu.

Tong Nuonuo became more alert and asked, "How did they survive? What kind of spiritual beast's territory did they go to?"

Li Muye said, "It's nothing surprising. There are many descendant spirit beasts in the wild garden, and those at the Nascent Soul and Out-of-Body stages are relatively easy to capture. These spirit beasts evolved from ordinary species were previously only food for the original species' predators. But after the area was divided, it was difficult for some original predatory spirit beasts to go to other spirit beasts' territories to hunt, resulting in a long period of time without eating that kind of food. The Wang siblings of Hongfu Pavilion prepared an intoxicating pill in advance, and wrapped it with several layers of water-soluble film to delay the onset time. They fed the pill to the captured low-level spirit beasts, and then put it on the original species' beast path. When the spirit beasts ate it, the pill took effect and stunned the spirit beasts, and they quickly touched it while it was still effective."

Tong Nuonuo curled her lips and said, "It's really nothing special. It's just that they are familiar with the situation, so they use such a tricky method."

Tang Ru raised his eyebrows and said, "This can be considered a shortcut. No wonder they didn't arrive much later than us. I am curious about another thing. How did Wang Zhongdai get ahead of us? Is there more than one way to get to the island?"

Chen Xiao said: "Even if there are more than one, we didn't see them passing through the magic circle. How did they get past us?"

Jing Hui crossed her arms and shook her head helplessly: "Many people are curious about this, but they just can't find out. I think this is Hongfu Pavilion's trump card, otherwise how could they have the confidence to dare to cooperate with Taoist practitioners without being rejected by evil practitioners."

Xi Yunting mentioned another matter, "Except for the large number of evil cultivators and people from Hongfu Pavilion we saw when we broke through the battle line, we haven't encountered any other forces of evil cultivators since we came here. Guangji still has another large force, the Jinxi Palace. None of their people showed up, which is very abnormal."

Tang Ru said uncertainly: "Isn't it because this place is close to the city of Hongfu Pavilion, and it belongs to Hongfu Pavilion, so Jinxi Palace can't interfere?"

Xi Yunting shook his head and said, "Even so, when it comes to a major event like Chongshan Immortal Palace that is in the interests of the entire Guangji evil cultivators, as the only two major sects, the Jinxi Palace should at least send a few high-level people to stabilize the situation. Otherwise, the damage to its prestige will be extremely serious."

Jing Hui nodded: "Brother Xi is right, it is indeed very strange. But it is not easy for us to find out about this matter."

Chen Xiao sighed and said, "Who knew that the Golden Seal Palace would be in such a situation? Otherwise, when I was stationed in Huanggu Town, I would have specially sent someone to investigate the evil cultivator's city."
