During his stay at the Jin Hai Sect's residence, Lin Xiuyuan made another round of reorganizations.
On the way here, we used up a lot of talismans, but also gained a lot of spiritual materials.
Taking advantage of this free time, after selling it, Lin Xiuyuan purchased materials and continued to stockpile talismans while constantly making them.
They piled up over three hundred top-tier talismans again, and over a thousand other talismans.
They were fully prepared for this trip, and had already mastered the basics of their weakest technique, escape. With a plethora of low-grade but high-quality pills, protective array plates, and other resources, their resources far surpassed those of an ordinary Foundation Establishment stage expert, and were approaching those of a Purple Mansion stage powerhouse!
In Lin Xiuyuan's eyes, this trip was the last gamble for the Foundation Establishment opportunity!
I will give it my all!
Less than half a month later, Huang Geng sent a message.
Lin Xiuyuan calmly pushed open the door and left, walking out of the mansion.
There were many disciples of the Golden Sea Sect along the way. After leaving the gate, they flew away on their swords.
In the square in front of the gate, many people were waiting for their companions.
Huang Geng was also among them, and upon seeing Lin Xiuyuan arrive, he quickly waved to him.
Lin Xiuyuan walked closer and saw two other people standing quite close to him, apparently traveling together. They turned to look at him with smiles on their faces.
"Fellow Daoist Lin, this is my fellow disciple Zhang Hongwen, Fellow Daoist Zhang. This is my good friend, Qiu Heng, a talented young man from the Mingxuan Tower of Yan Kingdom, Fellow Daoist Qiu!"
Huang Geng enthusiastically introduced it to him.
The former was a cultivator at the twelfth level of Qi Refining, who appeared to be around the same age as Huang Geng, with a handsome face and a rather robust physique.
The latter had reached the thirteenth level of Qi Refining, wearing a black brocade robe and a white jade crown, looking like a middle-aged scholar.
"Greetings, fellow Daoists." Lin Xiuyuan bowed in greeting.
“Fellow Daoist Lin, there’s no need to stand on ceremony. Since you are a good friend of Uncle Chang, you are naturally not an outsider,” Zhang Hongwen said with a smile.
Qiu Heng humbly cupped his hands and said, "Greetings, Fellow Daoist Lin. Fellow Daoist Huang's words are merely a joke. How could I possibly be worthy of the title of 'outstanding talent'?"
Then, Huang Geng said, "Fellow Daoist Lin, if you're ready, shall we set off now?"
"Yes, everything is ready. We've been waiting for this moment." Lin Xiuyuan nodded, a sense of anticipation rising in his heart.
"That would be wonderful." Huang Geng smiled slightly, a hint of something enigmatic in his smile.
Immediately, the four of them took off on their swords and headed towards Hundred Python Mountain.
At this moment, from this vast camp, one can see streaks of light rising up, all heading in the same direction.
In a short period of time, hundreds of streaks of light rose up, and many more could be vaguely seen ahead.
The journey wasn't long; we crossed a few high mountains and arrived at a peak on the outskirts of Baimang Mountain.
The entire summit is very large, spanning two or three miles, and is extremely flat, as if someone had used great supernatural powers to cut off a section of it.
Powerful divine senses constantly scanned and probed the surroundings, all of them being Foundation Establishment stage seniors or Purple Mansion stage experts guarding the area.
A large number of people had gathered on the mountaintop. At a glance, there were already several hundred people gathered here, all of whom were cultivators at or above the late stage of Qi Refining, and the proportion of cultivators at the Great Perfection stage was quite high.
Most of them were from sects and families, with only a few independent cultivators.
There was a palace standing nearby, and as Lin Xiuyuan and the other three got closer to the top of the mountain, they gradually felt an indescribable sense of oppression.
A powerful surge of spiritual energy enveloped the entire world.
This is the aura of a Golden Core cultivator, spreading from that black palace, its power filling the entire world!
Perhaps that's why, despite the large number of people on the mountaintop, it was unusually quiet.
Lin Xiuyuan and the others then descended with their escape light and merged into it.
The four of them immediately looked ahead, and their eyes all showed a hint of surprise.
Ahead of the crowd, on the edge of the cliff, stood a stone platform that appeared to be cast from spirit jade. It was several meters in size, entirely black and white, and covered with dense runes and restrictions, constantly radiating incredibly mysterious and astonishing spiritual energy fluctuations.
The most mysterious and captivating aspect is not this, but rather the space above the stone platform.
Several spatial rifts appeared and disappeared unpredictably, and the invisible space within a radius of several feet appeared distorted, with ripples appearing from time to time.
It seemed extremely unstable, as if it would collapse at any moment.
"Although I've heard of it, this is the first time I've seen it. That unstable space is the passage connecting the secret realm. It's said that it was opened up by several Nascent Soul stage experts from our Nine Kingdoms Alliance..."
"Initially, it was probably due to the demon king's arrangement. Over time, it gradually decayed, causing the space here to exhibit strange phenomena, collapsing from time to time to form passages, thus attracting the attention of passing cultivators..."
"This place is the entrance occupied by our Nine Kingdoms Alliance. The previous war between the righteous and the demonic forces started because of this, with both sides vying for this entrance. However, the demonic forces later discovered the same entrance on the other side of the Hundred Python Mountains, which is why the war ended more than 20 years ago. Otherwise, we might still be fighting now."
Huang Geng spoke in a low voice, explaining for Lin Xiuyuan and Qiu Heng.
Hearing this, Lin Xiuyuan nodded knowingly. With this background, the situation in the past became clearer.
As time passed, more and more streaks of light arrived, and now nearly three thousand people had gathered on the mountaintop. It seemed that only then was the gathering complete, and after a long while, no other cultivators arrived.
As Huang Geng just mentioned, because the secret passage is unstable, it can only transport about one or two thousand people at a time.
Furthermore, each teleportation will cause violent fluctuations in the spatial channel, increasing the number of cracks and making it extremely unstable. If another forced teleportation is attempted, it may collapse.
