The flying boat glided smoothly on the lake composed of green light like a small boat.

Cangxia Sect...

Miaoshui looked at the entire Ningqing Mountains and felt a little nervous.

After all, Cangxia Sect is a hidden sect!

The mountain gate is closed, no one knows about it, and he is self-sufficient and secluded from the world.

The four conditions seemed simple, but actually fulfilling them was incredibly difficult for most sects. Her Linghua Palace couldn't even fulfill one of them!

Closing the mountain gate means that this hidden sect must have a powerful formation master and a rich accumulation of spiritual materials to construct a large formation that isolates the inside and outside of the mountain gate. This formation also needs to have extremely strong concealment and defense functions.

To ensure that no one knew about the sect, one needed to sever all knowledge and understanding of the sect from the world, including the enmity between sects and individuals, and external records. To achieve this, one must have extremely strong execution and patience.

Self-sufficiency meant that the sect possessed supreme spiritual veins and related resource points, capable of supplying the daily needs of its disciples, eliminating the need for contact with the outside world. If even this couldn't be achieved, then closing the mountain would be nothing more than a death wish.

To stay in seclusion, all the disciples in the sect need to be devoted to the Tao and not be tempted by the outside world. Or, the sect leader must have extremely high prestige and be able to control the sect and suppress those disciples who are inclined towards the outside world.

Generally speaking, secluded sects choose to remain in seclusion in order to avoid disaster.

Of course, there are some special cases, such as when a sect is infected with a strange phenomenon and the mountain must be closed to prevent the spread of the strangeness. Or, when a powerful person in the sect is preparing to ascend to heaven in some way, it is necessary to sever ties with the world.

Miaoshui is proficient in waterways. Although he is not good at finding wind and asking water, he was born in Linghua Palace after all, and is a Jindan cultivator. He has learned some skills of observing water through the influence of his surroundings.

But in her opinion, the water veins in Ningqing Mountain were completely unremarkable, but at the mountain peak in front, it was like a dragon opening its eyes, revealing its sharpness!

Looking at the mountains again, except for a few fairy mountains whose extraordinary features can be seen at a glance, the rest of the mountains and rivers are either shrouded in clouds and mist, or are ordinary, like desolate mountains and wilderness.

Obviously, this was hidden by the Cangxia Sect's mountain protection formation.

Standing on the flying boat, Miaoshui could clearly feel the opening of a gap in the formation ahead, as well as the majestic aura it faintly emanated.

The Tree-Holding Immortal's gaze had been fixed on the Jianmu Tribulation Tree from the beginning until now. For a cultivator so proficient in the Way of Wood that he himself had grown together with the tree, the Jianmu Tribulation Tree was indeed extremely attractive.

Miaoshui looked back at the old man and secretly wondered if the old man was daydreaming about carrying the Jianmu tree on his back.

Hao Heng folded his arms, said nothing, and looked calm.

But Miaoshui knew that the reason this person was so calm was actually because he was afraid. If he didn't remain quiet, this elder of the Golden Sword Sect might show his cowardice.

"That mountain is ridiculously high..."

"Did you hear the thunder? It seems like there's been thunder all over that mountain covered by dark clouds..."

The monks who were accompanying them were also discussing in low voices what they were seeing.

Being the second group of cultivators in the entire Zhongfu Province to witness the Cangxia Sect was a unique experience for them. After returning, it also gave them something to talk about with their friends in the sect.

The flying boat stopped on a floating island next to Yu Cuifeng.

Miaoshui opened the gangway and told his men to prepare to disembark.

But the scene before her was very different from what she had imagined.

When the Immortal Alliance delegation goes on a normal visit, they are welcomed wherever they go. Although the mountain gate may not be decorated with lights and colorful lanterns, some high-level officials will be arranged to greet them, and some will even present gifts.

Some sects even specially arrange for envoys to pass through secular towns to accept the worship of mortals.

Unless one is a pure cultivator who is devoted to the Tao, it is hard to find an ordinary cultivator who does not enjoy this feeling.

Is the Cangxia Sect not ready yet?

No, that's not right...

Miaoshui's face turned a little ugly.

The Cangxia Sect doesn't take them seriously at all!!

Is it a show of force?

Miaoshui took a deep breath, calmed himself down, got off the boat with his entourage, and stepped onto the floating island of Cangxia Sect.

Cheng Ling followed Cheng Hui at the back and saw the sight of Yu Cui Peak. She couldn't help but ask Cheng Hui, "Brother, wasn't this the mountain we came to last time?"

"Why not? Isn't there a monument to Yu Cuifeng there?"

Looking in the direction indicated by Chenghui, on the cliff beside Yu Cui Peak stood a simple giant rock with the jade-colored words "Yu Cui" engraved on it.

Cheng Ling gasped.

Before he could even exhale, he hurriedly said, "Isn't that Chengying... huh... Senior Sister!?"

He was halfway through his words when he hurriedly exhaled the air he had just inhaled.

Chenghui's heart skipped a beat.

He always felt that his senior sister would do something weird.

After all, she'd been kicked out of the Immortal Alliance before. Even though she didn't usually mention it, given her personality, she definitely held a grudge! Could it be she was taking this opportunity to seek revenge?!

"Welcome everyone."

Chengying, dressed in green, greeted the crowd with a calm expression.

"This... Fairy Chengying."

Miaoshui's prepared opening remarks disappeared when he saw Chengying's face, and his tone became stiff.

Chengying's name is quite famous in some specific circles in Zhongfuzhou.

Miaoshui was deeply impressed by this extraordinary woman.

"Are you here on behalf of the Cangxia Sect?"
