After a while, Lin Xiuyuan left the main peak, holding a jade-like token in his hand.

It transformed into a deep blue streak of light, swiftly traversing the depths of the back mountain, passing over one sacred mountain after another.

Before long, a wide-open view appeared before us.

Lush ancient forests stretched across the land, seemingly merging with the azure sky, creating an endless expanse where the azure hues intertwined. Upon closer inspection, it was the reflection of the azure and blue hues from the array barrier!

Only a few lonely mountain peaks are scattered in front, as if serving as embellishments!

Upon arriving here, Lin Xiuyuan immediately felt an extremely oppressive atmosphere.

The feeling of first entering the back mountain, facing the oppressive aura of the numerous formations, resurfaced in my mind.

After he broke through to the Purple Mansion stage, this feeling faded considerably.

We have now arrived at this deepest part, an area that feels like a forbidden zone.

That feeling of oppression from before resurfaced in my mind.

This demonstrates the formidable nature of the formation here!

However, at the same time, the spiritual energy here is the most concentrated in the entire sect!

There is a rumor that the Supreme Ancestor Yunxiao lived and cultivated in this place.

Between that complete spiritual spring cave!

A sense of awe inexplicably arose in Lin Xiuyuan's heart. His expression became slightly solemn, and he dared not have any distracting thoughts. He obediently followed the guidance of the token and moved forward.

Having discerned the direction, Lin Xiuyuan's escape light slowly moved forward and landed on a solitary peak ahead.

"Newly promoted core disciple Lin Xiuyuan requests an audience with Martial Uncle Huo to open the Spirit Spring Cave!"

On the solitary peak, there is a cave dwelling, which is equipped with a powerful array.

Lin Xiuyuan arrived at the cave dwelling, holding the token in both hands, and said loudly.

"You are that genius of the Heavenly Firmament?"

As a voice rang out, a figure quietly appeared before them.

This was a middle-aged man, not wearing a ceremonial robe, but just a simple gray robe. He looked unremarkable, but had a gentle and refined air about him, like a worldly Confucian scholar.

Huo Kang gazed at Lin Xiuyuan with gentle eyes, a hint of appreciation in his expression. "Indeed, it has been a long time since my Yunxiao Sect has produced such a dazzling prodigy as you. The times have changed drastically, the cultivation world is in turmoil, and chaos is full of variables. As the saying goes, heroes emerge in troubled times. It seems that the Yunxiao Sect's fortune is still going strong, that our younger generation can produce such a prodigy as you!"

"Uncle-Master, you flatter me. I was just lucky enough to show my talent at the Foundation Establishment stage. Now that I have just reached the Upper Realm, it would be a blessing if I could not blend into the crowd."

Lin Xiuyuan replied humbly but respectfully.

"Hehe, to have reached the invincible combat power at the Foundation Establishment stage, future realms will certainly not be easy unless you break through the bottleneck. Sometimes, humility is a good thing, but it doesn't always mean it is. As a proud genius of Lingxiao, I must have the necessary sharpness."

"Of course, now that we have just reached the upper realm, the most important thing is to lie low and cultivate in seclusion."

Huo Kang smiled, made a few remarks, but didn't say much. He then said, "I am the 45th generation core disciple of Lingxiao. Since such a genius as you has emerged among the younger generation, I am naturally gratified. If you have any insights during your seclusion, you may come and ask me for guidance... I guard the entrance to the secret realm, and I'm afraid this is the end of my life."

Huo Kang said something cryptic at the end, a hint of sigh flashing across his face, but it disappeared in an instant, and his expression returned to normal.

Unexpectedly, this was a senior from the Lingxiao sect. Lin Xiuyuan couldn't help but show his joy and quickly cupped his hands, saying, "Thank you, Uncle-Master!"

"Come with me!"

Huo Kang waved his hand and led Lin Xiuyuan into the cave.

Behind the stone gate are several passageways. Apart from the passageway directly in front, there are eight other passageways in total, creating a downward-spreading effect.

Huo Kang said, "The cave ahead is where I guard my dwelling. The other passages lead to the Spirit Spring Cave. Go down this passage and use the jade token in your hand to activate the cave's formation."

Huo Kang casually pointed to a passageway, gesturing towards Lin Xiuyuan.

"Thank you, Uncle-Master. I'm going to consolidate my cultivation now. I'll come to visit you again next time."

Lin Xiuyuan bowed respectfully.

Walking down the passage, it wasn't dark at all; there were luminous pearls adorning the corridor.

After walking for a full quarter of an hour, as if they had already penetrated deep into the underground of this sacred mountain, Lin Xiuyuan finally arrived at a stone gate.

The surface of the stone gate is covered with interwoven array patterns.

Lin Xiuyuan glanced at it, then picked up the jade tablet, poured his magic power into it, cast a spell, and sent it into the stone gate.

In an instant, with a loud 'boom,' the stone door slowly opened.

Lin Xiuyuan then saw a strange and wondrous sight.

A white mist surged within, resembling a rolling sea of ​​clouds, seemingly about to burst out of the secret chamber, but it was blocked by a faintly glowing array barrier.

Lin Xiuyuan stepped inside and immediately felt an incredibly rich spiritual energy surrounding his entire body, making him feel refreshed and invigorated.

A brilliant idea struck me!

"As expected of a large sect, its foundation is truly extraordinary."

Lin Xiuyuan's expression brightened with joy.

This rich environment is comparable to the abundant spiritual energy in the medicinal gardens within the Hengyang Secret Realm.

Although there are only a few cave dwellings, they can have such an effect.

But don't forget.

Hengyang Secret Realm is a top-tier secret realm. It was jointly constructed by various forces under the coordination of the Spirit Alliance. Countless spiritual veins were moved in, numerous large-scale spirit-gathering formations were set up, and countless top-grade natural treasures were transplanted to create such a rich environment of spiritual energy.

Now, the fact that the Cloud Soaring Sect has some cave dwellings that are comparable to the most spiritually rich places in the secret realm is extremely remarkable.

This is something that ordinary forces cannot do; even large, ordinary sects probably don't have such capabilities.

Only the Cloud Soaring Sect possesses such a long-standing and profound heritage!

That spiritual spring was nurtured by the top-grade spiritual veins of the Yunmeng Great Swamp and the superior spiritual veins of various places in the Yunmeng Mountains.

Naturally, not many forces have such a foundation!

Lin Xiuyuan thought to himself, "If just a portion of the spiritual spring has such an effect, I wonder how rich the spiritual energy must be in the whole spring!"

However, this single spiritual spring cave was already somewhat beyond his needs.

Limited by qualifications...

The entire cultivation cave was not large, only a few meters square.

It's similar to that little bungalow in Beihefang Market back then...

The four walls and the floor were all covered with densely packed patterns.

It is said that the spiritual spring was diverted to the cave below, and many spiritual treasures were placed there to form spiritual gathering arrays, spiritual binding restrictions, and so on, to attract spiritual energy to gather here. In addition, this place is full of spiritual gathering arrays, constantly gathering a huge amount of spiritual energy from heaven and earth.

That's how this cultivation cave came to be!

"With this cave dwelling, consolidating my cultivation level should be very smooth..."

Lin Xiuyuan looked them over, then took off several spirit beast pouches from his body and released all the spirit beasts.
