The first rays of purple sunlight in the early morning shone on the main peak of Penglai.
Auspicious purple clouds rise from the east, bringing light and dispelling endless darkness.
Ye Feng sat cross-legged in mid-air, facing the sunlight and addressing the more than two hundred disciples of Yunxia Mountain, and began his sermon.
"The Tao that can be told is not the eternal Tao; the name that can be named..."
No matter what you're going to preach, you can never go wrong with this opening!
A purple glow shone on Ye Feng's face, with the Thousand Illusion Sword hovering beside him.
He exuded majesty and holiness from head to toe!
Xiao Xuan sat atop the Red Jade Sword, a smile on her face as she looked on, her heart filled with boundless pride.
This is my Daoist partner!
I just don't know how he spent yesterday...
As the one who started it all, she certainly wouldn't eavesdrop.
But after scanning the area, no unusual objects were found.
Yang Dan and the other fifteen... still looked at Ye Feng with the same expression.
Mu Yufeng... that's just how this girl is!
Now is not the time to investigate; we can ask him later.
Ye Feng's sermon was neither eloquent nor filled with miraculous pronouncements.
Apart from the opening, everything he said was very easy to understand.
It's about his own journey from Qi Refining to where he is now.
But for the audience below, something was missing.
Because Ye Feng himself improved through the system, aside from leaps in major realms, his experience is of very little reference value to others.
Even so, everyone listened with rapt attention...
Compared to what everyone else gained, this sermon was the most important for Ye Feng himself.
He wanted to review his cultivation process again, to discover and consolidate his knowledge...
Yunxia Mountain
Hundreds of independent cultivators searched the entire mountaintop but found not a single person.
The market buildings are still there, but the protective array is gone...
Among them were also people who watched Yunxiafang Market relocate yesterday.
"It seems this place will revert to its old state from now on..."
"What's going on?"
"I heard they moved yesterday! They even moved a flying boat that's over a hundred meters long, along with the houses on the mountain!"
"What are we going to do? I spent half a year cultivating the White Flame Grass, won't I have nowhere to sell it?"
"Sigh, I was also planning to buy some East China Sea Purple Orchid Ginseng... If I had known, I would have bought more."
Just as everyone was sighing and lamenting, an old man at the eighth level of Qi Refining shouted loudly,
"Don't worry, everyone! Yunxia Market is just moving, it's not disappearing. Those who want to buy or sell goods don't need to worry!"
These words immediately excited everyone around.
"Old man, do you know what happened? Why did you move?"
The old man stroked his beard and said in a deliberately profound tone,
"You wouldn't know the answer to this if you asked anyone else, but if you ask me..."
Seeing him keeping everyone in suspense, everyone wanted to punch him, but they all wanted to know the news. What if he wouldn't tell them after they beat him up?
Just then, a young woman, travel-worn and weathered, stepped forward and handed over a spirit stone.
"Old man, please have mercy and tell me! I've come all the way from the Southern Zhao Kingdom, hoping to join the Cloud Mist Sect. I've searched for so long to finally find this place... Please help me!"
Nanzhao Kingdom! It's over ten thousand miles away from here.
That's the territory of the Qunfang Pavilion, a subordinate sect of the Hehuan Sect.
This person doesn't want to join the Hehuan Sect, but instead travels all this way to find the Yunxia Sect, a market town power that can't even be considered third-rate.
I really don't know what to say...
However, it's also possible that they sought him out after failing to join the Hehuan Sect.
But judging from this young woman's age, she was already at the seventh level of Qi Refining.
Even if you can't get into the Hehuan Sect, getting into its subordinate Qunfang Pavilion shouldn't be too much of a problem.
Upon seeing this, the rest all shook their heads.
Only the old man wore an affirmative smile.
"You're not joining the Joyful Union Sect, but instead seeking out the Cloud Mist Sect... Let me tell you, that's absolutely the right thing to do!"
Upon hearing this, the woman quickly pressed for details, and the old man then began to explain.
It turns out that the old man's cultivation cave was located more than a hundred miles outside the Qingluo Mine.
I saw the blue airship fly by in the sky with my own eyes.
Combining this with the accounts from the market, he quickly deduced...
The people from Yunxia Sect must be there!
"The two large characters 'Penglai in the sky' are hundreds of meters in size! Not only that, the entire Qingluo Mine, along with an area of unknown size around it, has been enclosed!"
This...this isn't an ordinary formation! This is a sect-protecting formation!
"Then why is it called Penglai? Why not Yunxia?"
"That's because of that mysterious Cloud Mist Sect Master! The timing wasn't right before, so they temporarily named it Cloud Mist. Now that the sect is officially established, of course they're reverting to the original name!"
"The Qingluo Mine belongs to the Qingyun Sect and the Luoshui Sect, two major sects. This Yunxia Sect... Penglai Sect, they just came and occupied this place... Could it be that they don't just want to become a mid-level sect?!"
"Could it be a home visit?"
"Establish a sect? The Yunxia Sect only has a little over two hundred people at most. Do you think they'll need to recruit a lot of disciples?"
Upon hearing this, everyone fell silent. After a moment of silence, everyone headed towards the Qingluo Mine.
Don't be fooled by the fact that Li Qinghe, who has just entered the Golden Core stage, can lead the Yunxia Sect members on a round trip in just one hour.
For these Qi Refining cultivators, this is quite a distance.
It's normal to be unable to fly and to travel for three to five days.
But that didn't stop people from joining in the fun...
Hehuan Sect
Speaking of which, the Hehuan Sect is not far from the Qingyun Sect.
It's less than 300,000 li away.
At this moment, Meng Lian Die, the leader of the Hehuan Sect, held a gold-embossed invitation in her hand, a charming smile on her face.
"Penglai? They've actually established a sect on the mainland! Han Li? I wonder how he compares to Wang Lin... Even the invitations are top-grade spiritual artifacts. Penglai's wealth is truly impressive!"
As she spoke, she looked at the woman in front of her again.
"Little sister, I didn't know your Penglai had such a prestigious background. No wonder you didn't want to come with me..."
The woman in the audience answered respectfully.
"Sect Master Butterfly Lotus, please forgive me. This junior is focused on cultivation and has little interest in matters between men and women..."
"Hehe... I was just kidding, you actually took it seriously!"
When True Monarch Butterfly Lotus smiled, even the female guards in the main hall showed expressions of fascination.
This is still because she didn't use her powers!
Those who had been affected by her power were detected by Penglai and stopped sending her gifts.
After several attempts, only the person in front of me could be kept.
After laughing, True Monarch Butterfly Lotus put away the invitation, and with a wave of his hand, a top-grade spiritual weapon longsword appeared in his hand.
With a flick of her jade-like fingers, characters instantly appeared on the longsword.
"The Hehuan Sect has received your message! They will surely arrive at the appointed time!"
This move, done unintentionally, revealed her extremely superb weapon-refining skills.
The Penglai disciple sheathed his sword, bowed respectfully, and then withdrew.
In the distance, one could still hear boisterous laughter coming from inside the main hall...
Meanwhile, the other upper sects also received invitations.
Even the Heavenly Demon, Heavenly Sword, and Ghost Soul Sect—Ye Feng also asked them on the invitation to help pass on messages.
However, these few cases... are not something to be taken lightly.
Especially Tian Juezi!
Upon receiving the message, a cold glint flashed in his eyes, and he let out a cold snort.
"Han Li! Thousand Illusion Sword... Ignorant brat!"
