Sensing the unusual activity outside, An Wan nodded and quickly entered the cave with the other six.

They each found a straw mat to sit down and rest.

Activating the formation depleted all of their power.

If the enemy comes now, they're in big trouble.

An Wan took out a large box of fruit and several cups of spiritual spring water from her spatial storage and distributed them to Ling Jingxuan, Xiao Ye, and the others.

The fruits are grown in the Spirit Spring Space, and the yield and variety are not very large.

Some common fruits include bananas, apples, peaches, pears, apricots, and cherries.

The space also contains precious herbs, but the yield is not very high.

The main reason is that no one has taken care of it for the past few hundred years, so the output is not high.

She was thinking of getting some saplings to plant in the ground when she had time, but she didn't know if they would survive.

She likes durian and jackfruit, so let's try planting these two kinds of saplings.

If Dongxi knew about An Wan's thoughts, he would probably be devastated.

Because he hates the smell of durian the most, it's like poop.

Guai Guai happily ate her favorite peaches. Ever since she was able to enter the space, she has been eating several peaches every day.

It tastes a hundred times better than peaches from other places, and a hundred times better than the imported peaches I used to eat at He Yurou's place.

Wu Tian and Dong Xi drank a cup of spiritual spring water and quickly entered a recovery state through meditation.

Seeing so many magical fruits, which An Wan had conjured out of thin air, the three of them were very surprised.

I couldn't help but wonder if she had a planting space, but not the kind of ordinary space where you could only put things and not let people or living things in.

She should have a space with water and land where she can grow fruit and herbs.

Such spaces exist, but are few in number.

Therefore, it is especially precious.

They were all cautious in their words and actions, and did not ask any questions about the space.

Instead, they obediently ate fruit and absorbed spiritual energy to replenish their strength first.

Otherwise, it would be troublesome if someone discovered this cave and broke in.

They don't want to be wiped out by others.

Reaching the Nascent Soul stage in cultivation is extremely difficult; many cultivators die along the way.

Wu Tian and Dong Xi saw through Xi Ye and the other two's thoughts, but neither of them explained anything.

An Wan deliberately took out fruit and spiritual spring water from her spatial storage in front of them, which was just a way to test them.

After all, nobody really knows what kind of people they are.

There are no permanent rivals in the world, only interests.

As long as they have enough chips,

An Wan could see through their thoughts, but she didn't explain.

She ate fruit and drank spring water while keeping an eye on the situation outside.

Three people flew in from outside the cave.

There were two men and one woman, all of whom looked very young, around twenty or thirty years old.

"The light disappeared around here, so this must be the place. Let's keep looking; maybe they haven't gone far."

The woman spoke in a commanding tone and appeared to be more powerful than the two men.

Her name is Ye Xue'er, and she is in the mid-stage of the Fusion Realm.

Because Wu Tian's cave dwelling was re-enacted by Dong Xi, who was in the Tribulation Transcending stage, Ye Xue'er did not discover it.

This was after the group of cultivators entered the mountain; he sensed the danger and quickly set up a new formation to protect his cave.

"Why would they go to such lengths to create a protective array for this mountain? Does this mountain have an owner?"

An older man looked around but found nothing.

His name is Zhang Hao, and he is in the late stage of the Void Refinement Realm.

"That's impossible. We've been here for so long, why hasn't that person shown up? He can't just stand by and watch us wreak havoc here without doing anything, can he? Would you want that?"

Ye Xue'er's voice carried a hint of anger.

“I’m not willing to do that. Forget about letting you destroy this mountain, I won’t even let you into it. I’ll drive you out, or even kill you.”

Zhang Hao ground his back teeth. Too many cultivators had come recently, and he hated them. He would kill anyone weaker than himself and steal their golden cores and magical artifacts.

"Oh, is that it? So this mountain must be ownerless. Even if there are native inhabitants, they wouldn't be the owners of this mountain because they don't have the power to do so."

Ye Xue'er laughed loudly, quite certain that this mountain was unclaimed.

As long as you defeat those who cause trouble and compete for power, you can take that position.

"Who are they? Why go through all that trouble to create a formation? There was one before, but it disappeared just a few days ago."

The young man's name is Yang Junhong.

"Although we don't know who set up the formation, we are certain that they don't want the spiritual energy of Shenxian Mountain to leak out and attract more cultivators."

Ye Xue'er stroked her chin, carefully looking around for any footprints.

It makes it easier to tell exactly how many people there are.

She's not afraid if there are several opponents.

If there are only one or two, then she'll have to think it over.

Setting up a protective array for the Immortal Mountain requires many top-grade talismans and power.

One cultivator at the Tribulation Transcending stage cannot handle it; two cultivators at the same Tribulation Transcending stage are required.

Or it would take several people at the Nascent Soul stage or above to set up the formation together.

Therefore, in either case, she had to be somewhat wary.

One must not act rashly, and must never overestimate one's own strength or underestimate the abilities of others.

"Should we find them? I have a feeling that their formation is not as simple as it seems on the surface; they might be declaring sovereignty."

Yang Junhong's intuition was correct.

Ye Xue'er nodded, "You're right. We'd better find them and defeat them one by one. Right now, we're in the open while they're in the shadows. We don't even know who they are or how strong they are, which is very disadvantageous for us."
