Nestled among the mountains, atop a mountain peak.
Several figures stood silently here.
Leading the group was a graceful woman dressed in a long red dress with a gold belt, embroidered with exquisite patterns of peacocks, phoenixes, and other birds.
She nodded slightly, a thoughtful look flashing across her face, before her expression turned cold as she said indifferently, "Those old fogies in the Spirit Alliance really don't trust us. They insist on planting so many eyes. Even though Shuoyang City is already in such chaos, they still insist on sending some elite troops. They're really willing to go to such lengths!"
The people standing behind her, apart from three who looked like guards, the other two were dressed in the official robes of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
Zhang Fang stroked his beard and said, "Princess Hongshang, it's not necessarily that simple. The Heavenly Sword Sect has sent out that Extreme Sword, who is said to have inherited more than half of the lineage. He is expected to wield the Heavenly Extreme Sword in the future and grow smoothly, becoming another giant. The Jade Cauldron Pill Sect has also sent Danxuzi. Although he is a disciple of the Pill Dao lineage, he possesses a unique wood spiritual root and is extremely powerful in killing."
"And on this flying boat right now, according to the scouts, it's mostly that rising star of the Lingxiao Heavenly Pride. He lacks the foundation of a top-tier expert, but he's a rare genius who has reached the level of being invincible among his peers. I wonder what he'll be like now that he's achieved the Purple Mansion realm."
He paused, then continued, "These three have all been sent here, and other factions have also sent many elites, which shows that they intend to hone and train them to compete with the prodigies of the righteous and demonic paths. After all, the future situation in Nanzhou will be closely related to them, and it's not necessarily a matter of sending them to their deaths in vain. Hehe, but as the princess said, the main purpose of sending these people here is to strengthen our spies and keep Shuoyang City a thorn in our side."
Princess Hongshang stood with her hands behind her back, sneering, "The Spirit Alliance has been wary of my Yuan family for quite some time now. Their ulterior motives are obvious to everyone! As the saying goes, two tigers cannot share one mountain, so their fear is understandable. But my Yuan family has broken free from the shackles of a secular dynasty and has now become a cultivation dynasty. How can the Spirit Alliance possibly stop us? Isn't the Great Uprising in Zhongzhou the best example?"
"You want to control the Yuan family's sphere of influence? You can restrain them for a while, but can you restrain them forever!"
Princess Hongshang's expression immediately changed. As the flying boat gradually descended into the Phoenix Cloud Mountain, she couldn't help but reveal a hint of amusement. "Since they have so much confidence in these geniuses, then I'd like to see just how capable they really are."
...
now.
Lin Xiuyuan surveyed the Fengxia Mountain area.
This is a continuous mountain range with several ridges. When viewed from above, it resembles the outline of a phoenix spreading its wings. The large mountain at the tail end is somewhat tilted and covers a vast area. Every sunset, a red glow is cast upon it, giving the entire mountain range a faint red light, hence its name.
Shuoyang City is located beside the mountain at the 'tail' of this mountain.
However, the surrounding area is a place with little spiritual energy, and only the city has several spiritual veins.
The mountains containing the 'Phoenix Beast' and 'Twin Wings' are places where spiritual energy gathers in abundance.
One mineral vein after another was discovered here, as were fracture channels in the fractured strata.
After the spiritual veins were fully mined, many spiritual fields were created, and most of the secret realms were transformed into medicinal gardens. Since the rules of small secret realms do not exist, this is the only option. Alternatively, they could become animal farms to cultivate spirit beasts.
There are no fewer than several dozen small secret realms scattered throughout.
I've heard that there were many more in the past, but because they were difficult to maintain, many have disappeared over time.
Such a sight is truly unique in the world.
Some speculate that this is because Fengxia Mountain used to have a super-large secret realm, but its spiritual energy was shattered due to changes in the world or a great war, thus turning into small, fragmented spaces.
Lin Xiuyuan glanced at it briefly, then spoke to the Dharma Protector Elder Pang Hongbo before leaving the flying boat and heading towards Shuoyang City.
Ultimately, you have to see the situation for yourself to know what to do next.
The information on that jade slip was from several months ago, and it wasn't very detailed...
