At the summit, Lin Xuan stopped paying attention to the pillar of light and sat cross-legged, silently adjusting his state and entering a semi-cultivational state.
The pillar of light was strange; with his strength, he couldn't see through it at all. Since that was the case, there was no need to stare at it intently. He only needed to spare a sliver of his consciousness to pay attention to it, and then seize the time to cultivate and comprehend it.
Time flies, and the days pass by.
Eight days passed in the blink of an eye.
Over the past eight days, the number of people entering the core area has increased dramatically. Warships, flying artifacts, and other magical vessels have been traversing the skies, occupying every inch of the area surrounding the pillar of light. Currently, it appears that all the mountains within a radius of tens of thousands of miles centered on the pillar of light have been occupied.
As a result, later arrivals either had to share a mountain with other people or go to more distant areas.
Rumble...
Suddenly, Lin Xuan, who was meditating with his eyes closed, abruptly opened them. Two sharp beams of light shot out from his pupils as he looked up at the sky. In the distance, at the edge of the sky, a snow-white flying boat, as beautiful as an ice sculpture, pierced through the heavens.
The airship was enormous, resembling a mountain soaring into the sky, and exuded an endless chill. Wherever it went, the air was frozen, and countless ice crystals fell, turning into snowflakes as they hit the ground.
"They're from the Ice Spirit Palace, damn it... These guys actually came to Crimson Moon Cave Heaven too. They're so far away from Azure Moon City, yet they still come all this way to compete with us. They're really shameless."
"This is the Crimson Moon Grotto-Heaven, a low-grade blessed land, far superior to ordinary secret realms. It's not unusual for people from the Ice Spirit Palace to come here."
"That's right. I heard that even those bald monks from Dafan Temple sent people over, but I don't know why I haven't seen them. Could they all be dead?"
"The people from Dafan Temple are definitely led by immortals, so they won't die easily. They must have been delayed. Anyway, this time it's going to be lively. There are quite a few powerful people here, and many major sects and forces have been alarmed. The competition will definitely be very fierce."
...
As the flying boat appeared, countless people began to discuss it, staring directly at it. Many even sneered, their faces full of mockery.
The people from the Ice Spirit Palace arrived too late; there were no empty mountain peaks within ten thousand miles of the pillar of light.
They wanted to see what the Ice Spirit Palace would do: share a mountain with the people, or withdraw from the Wanli region and settle in a more distant place.
"Hmph, the Ice Spirit Palace has always been domineering. It's impossible for them to share a mountain with anyone, nor will they leave the Wanli area. Just you wait and see! They'll try to take it from us. We'll see who's unlucky enough to suffer the consequences."
Those familiar with the Ice Spirit Palace sneered.
Rumble... Bang...
Just then, the mountain-like flying boat moved across the sky and instantly entered the area within ten thousand miles of the pillar of light. After a slight pause in the air, it suddenly changed direction and flew straight towards the mountain where Lin Xuan was.
The sky shattered, and the enormous flying boat instantly traversed thousands of miles before stopping above the mountain where Lin Xuan was located.
"It's there after all. That kid's in for a world of trouble now."
Upon witnessing this scene, some people were stunned for a moment, then sneered: "That kid has occupied a mountain peak all by himself, which has already made many people unhappy. It's just that they haven't made a move against him for certain reasons. Now it seems that the Ice Spirit Palace has no such scruples and wants to make an example of him."
"Boy, this mountain is for my Ice Spirit Palace. You may leave now!"
A deep voice emanated from the Ice Spirit Palace flying boat high in the sky. The chilling aura contained endless coldness, as if the entire mountain peak was frozen solid.
At the summit, Lin Xuan was somewhat taken aback.
Isn't this a classic case of "sitting at home and trouble comes out of nowhere"?
Since arriving at this mountain peak, he had been cultivating in seclusion, avoiding offending anyone. Unexpectedly, he was taken advantage of. Within this vast area, there are countless mountains, and the people of the Ice Spirit Palace chose him out of all others, clearly treating him as an easy target.
However, these people don't seem to realize that if Lin Xuan didn't have some strength, how could he have broken through the barriers surrounding the core area so quickly and occupied such a favorable position?
Lin Xuan glanced up at the flying boat hovering in mid-air, and roared coldly, "Get lost..."
The single word "get lost" carried astonishing power; an invisible sonic wave swept across the sky, instantly tearing it apart. Terrifying spatial turbulence surged forth, rushing directly towards the flying ship in the air.
Boom... Bang...
In the next instant, as the void shattered, the flying boat was thrown out, and the entire flying boat almost disintegrated.
"ah……"
A series of piercing screams immediately erupted from inside the flying boat. Some disciples of the Ice Spirit Palace were utterly unable to withstand the attack; their bodies were torn apart in an instant, their forms annihilated amidst the bloodcurdling cries. From beginning to end, they had no chance to even react, let alone resist.
This scene left everyone dumbfounded, staring at Lin Xuan in utter disbelief.
"My God... Ice Spirit Palace has really bitten off more than they can chew this time. Their methods are terrifying, simply appalling!"
"With such power contained in a single shout, this person must be an immortal."
"No wonder someone can occupy an entire mountain peak by themselves. It makes sense. It's laughable that the Ice Spirit Palace thought they had picked up an easy target, but they ended up kicking a hornet's nest. This is going to be a good show."
"A great battle is inevitable. The Ice Spirit Palace is used to being domineering. After suffering such a loss, they will not let it go. Just wait and see!"
...
Many people were discussing it, all of them stunned by Lin Xuan's strength.
At the same time, many people began to sneer, looking at the airship that had stabilized in mid-air with mocking expressions.
The Ice Spirit Palace has always been known for its domineering nature, but now they've met their match. We'll see how they handle this. If not handled properly, it could be a major crisis for the Ice Spirit Palace.
In fact, many people have already realized that the Ice Spirit Palace has suffered a great loss this time.
No matter what choice they make, they will not be appreciated.
Taking action against Lin Xuan would inevitably provoke a counterattack from him; given Lin Xuan's strength, even everyone in the Ice Spirit Palace might perish here. However, if they didn't intervene, the Ice Spirit Palace's prestige would suffer a severe blow, something the Ice Spirit Palace could not accept.
Therefore, the Ice Spirit Palace is now in a dilemma, but has no choice but to make a decision.
"I bet the Ice Spirit Palace will definitely make a move."
A powerful being at the level of an immortal chuckled coldly.
boom!
No sooner had he finished speaking than a terrifying aura erupted from the flying boat high in the sky. An astonishing force tore through the sky in an instant, and a figure shrouded in ice and snow descended from the heavens, heading straight for Lin Xuan.
"You dare kill a disciple of my Ice Spirit Palace, you must die."
The man roared angrily, and with a wave of icy killing intent, he suddenly slammed a palm down at Lin Xuan.
