Upon hearing Shuimu Yinji's sudden voice, the other passengers in the two carriages also looked surprised.

Only Chu Qinghe, who was reclining in the carriage, remained calm. With a slight lift of his finger, a wisp of the power of heaven and earth flew into the carriage and disappeared under Chu Qinghe's control. Qu Feiyan, Lin Shiyin and the others who were driving the carriage outside the carriage instantly felt a ripple around them.

Immediately afterwards, in the eyes of Lin Shiyin and Qu Feiyan, the road leading up the mountain in front of the carriage suddenly changed from one road to four.

Three of them lead to a place halfway up the mountain, but only one leads to the summit.

Their carriage was traveling in the direction that led to the mountainside.

Clearly, the surrounding formation had previously affected their vision and sense of direction.

At the same time, in the bamboo forest behind Jiuyun Mountain, Li Chunfeng, who was originally sitting cross-legged and cultivating, also felt the formation rapidly opening its eyes.

A few breaths later, as if sensing something, Li Chunfeng's eyes flashed, and he instantly disappeared from the spot.

On the mountainside, after driving the carriage onto the road leading up the mountain, Qu Feiyan muttered, "No wonder there was no one else guarding Jiuyun Mountain. It turns out that Li Chunfeng set up an array on Jiuyun Mountain."

Then, Qu Feiyan turned her head and asked into the carriage, "Young Master, how good is Li Chunfeng's array formation skill?"

As soon as the voice faded, Chu Qinghe's lazy voice came from inside the carriage.

"As far as this formation is concerned, it's not bad! Ordinary martial artists at the Celestial Realm would find it difficult to climb the mountain if they didn't know the method, under the influence of this formation."

Upon hearing Chu Qinghe's words, Lianxing said, "To earn praise from my brother-in-law, it seems that Li Chunfeng is quite accomplished in array formations."

The jellyfish Yin Ji shook her head and said, "After all, in order to better govern the Nine Provinces in the future, the Great Xia Dynasty has caused many things in the Nine Provinces to be lost. And this formation requires the combination of the power of heaven and earth. How many people in the Nine Provinces can learn the profound formations?"

The others in the carriage nodded in agreement upon hearing this.

However, at that moment, under the perception of the Water Mother Yin Ji, several fluctuations of true essence unique to Divine Seat Realm martial artists instantly burst forth from several places in Nine Cloud Mountain and rapidly approached their location.

Just as these martial artists at the Divine Seat Realm were about to appear in front of Chu Qinghe and the others, in Shui Mu Yin Ji's perception, after a slight pause, the fluctuations of true essence within these martial artists subsided.

Only one figure continued to approach.

A moment later, an elderly man with a full head of silver hair, dressed in a white ink-wash Taoist robe, appeared in front of the carriage and bowed, saying, "I have come on the orders of the sect leader to guide our distinguished guest."

Upon hearing this, Chu Qinghe, inside the carriage, gave a soft "hmm" in acknowledgment.

Seeing this, the old man turned and headed towards a path leading to the mountainside in the southwest.

Qu Feiyan and the others drove the carriage to follow behind the old man.

A short while later, as the two carriages arrived at a bamboo forest, another middle-aged woman with an ordinary appearance bowed and said, "The sect leader is already waiting in the bamboo forest. Please come in, esteemed guest."

Upon hearing this, Chu Qinghe and the others got off the carriage one after another.

The middle-aged woman in front of the bamboo grove turned around and led the way through the bamboo forest.

As they stepped into the bamboo forest behind the middle-aged woman, the little guy who had been perched on Chu Qinghe's shoulder twitched his nose slightly and slowly opened his eyes.

After looking up and scanning the surroundings, the little guy's eyes lit up when he saw the bamboo forest.

Then, the little guy used a little force with his limbs to jump directly to a new bamboo stalk that was only five inches long and took a bite.

Feeling the crisp, juicy flavor with a strong bamboo aroma in its mouth, the little guy trembled slightly.

Turning around and looking at this bamboo forest, it felt like it had found a paradise of its own.

Then, holding the bamboo shoot in both hands, she jumped back onto Chu Qinghe's shoulder and began to eat, leaning against Chu Qinghe's neck.

After finishing eating, she immediately jumped to a certain place, chose a bamboo that suited her taste, and returned to Chu Qinghe's shoulder.

Perhaps sensing that the little guy's speed was in no way inferior to that of a martial artist at the Innate Realm, the middle-aged woman who was leading the way couldn't help but turn around and look at the little guy in surprise.

Before long, led by the middle-aged woman, Chu Qinghe and the others saw Li Chunfeng waiting quietly in the bamboo forest.

After Chu Qinghe and the others approached a little closer, Li Chunfeng took the initiative to greet them.

"Li Chunfeng greets Senior."

Upon hearing Li Chunfeng's address to Chu Qinghe, the middle-aged woman who had led the way earlier stiffened and couldn't help but glance at Chu Qinghe in surprise.

"You can go now!"

Before the woman could think further, Li Chunfeng's voice suddenly reached her ears.

"Your disciple obeys," the middle-aged woman quickly replied before turning and leaving.

When she turned around, the surprise on the woman's face could no longer be hidden.

After the middle-aged woman left, Li Chunfeng turned around and led Chu Qinghe to a bamboo table to the side.

After taking a sip of his tea, Chu Qinghe looked up at Li Chunfeng and said, "Your residence is quite elegant."

Li Chunfeng responded, "Thank you for your praise, senior."

After exchanging pleasantries, Chu Qinghe got to the point: "One question. Once you've answered it, we can talk about what comes next."

Li Chunfeng nodded and said, "Please speak, senior."

Chu Qinghe said slowly, "When the dragon soul is condensed, will Donghuang Taiyi or the people of the Great Xia Dynasty be able to sense the dragon soul and the Ziwei fortune in the Nine Provinces?"
