After this unexpected incident, the group finally understood the deeper meaning behind Xia Yue's words. Although her purpose in entering Luoshen Mountain was to find the Purple Spirit Body-Shaping Flower, there was another reason: she wanted to prove that she was more outstanding than her two older brothers.
Within the ruins of the Luoshen Gate, although the passage opens periodically and those holding the Luoshen Token lead many people in, over time, most of the good things inside have been taken away. However, there are still many things that cannot be taken away, one being the three stone tablets mentioned by Xia Ming, and the other being the Luoshen Palace.
The three stone tablets record the unique martial arts of the Luoshen Sect. However, only those who possess the Luoshen Token can approach the stone tablets to comprehend them. Qin Xin and the others naturally have no chance to do so. However, the Luoshen Palace is open to everyone. According to Xia Yue's introduction, the Luoshen Palace is like having countless illusions. The more illusions one can break through, the more precious the treasures bestowed by the Luoshen Palace will be.
We've arrived!
The group of people who were still listening to Xia Yue's introduction all looked forward after hearing the voice.
The group had now emerged from the lush jungle and were greeted by a massive mountain peak. The buildings on the peak were overgrown with weeds and had lost their luster, with only the summit surrounded by spiritual energy.
"Is this the Luoshen Gate?"
Sanjie touched his smooth forehead and asked in shock.
The sect's headquarters in front of them was so vast that it seemed as if tens of thousands of people had once lived there. However, all the buildings were now abandoned, and occasionally one could hear the roars of beasts from within them, clearly indicating that this place had become a paradise for monsters.
"Not yet. This is just Mount Luoshen. To enter the Luoshen Gate, we need to wait for the passage to open."
Xia Yue smiled gently, then shook her head and said.
Qin Xin looked at the massive mountain peak. Under the influence of his spiritual sense, the peak, surrounded by spiritual energy, seemed to be accumulating power, exhibiting some peculiar fluctuations.
"Let's go to the foot of the mountain first. I believe many clans have already arrived."
Xia Yue said with a smile, and then led the group toward the foot of the mountain.
Qin Xin sensed the plaza at the foot of the mountain and saw that many figures were already resting on the spot. He was somewhat surprised that so many martial artists had come.
The group of eight quickened their pace and appeared around the group of martial artists a few minutes later. When they saw Xia Yue arrive, they all greeted her with great respect.
Qin Xin observed carefully. The tents in front of him were arranged in a neat and orderly manner, and each was marked with a family emblem. Some of them had already started to join forces. After all, there were many powerful demonic beasts in the Luo Shen Sect, and forming a team could reduce a lot of risks.
"The Second Prince and the Ruan Clan have arrived..."
A very respectful voice came from the crowd.
Qin Xin followed the sound and saw a man dressed in plain clothes, who appeared rather unassuming, standing in front of the young members of the Ruan clan.
"Little sister, you're here too."
The second prince, Xia Qi, walked up to Xia Yue and greeted her calmly.
"This time, the Luoshen Sect looks quite lively. All four major families of the Great Xia Dynasty have come. I heard that the Hundred Flowers Pavilion has also obtained a Luoshen Token and will also send disciples. I hope that my younger sister and the people of the Eastern Wilderness Academy will lend a helping hand. After all, the Luoshen Sect belongs to our Great Xia Dynasty, and we cannot allow the people of the Hundred Flowers Pavilion to take advantage of it."
The words of the second prince, Xia Qi, gave people a very comfortable feeling, completely unlike Xia Ming, who was high and mighty. However, Qin Xin knew that the more someone was like Xia Qi, the more dangerous they were.
After exchanging a few pleasantries, Xia Yue's attitude towards this second brother was even colder than towards Xia Ming, and she was unwilling to talk to him at all. Xia Qi didn't care, and instead went to greet the leaders of the two families who had already arrived.
After the second prince Xia Qi left, the group found a relatively quiet place to camp and wait for the passage to open.
Xia Yue also introduced the families that came to Luoshen Gate this time. Because there are only ten Luoshen Tokens, the royal family of the Great Xia Dynasty, as well as the Ruan Clan, Ba Clan, Song Clan and Wang Clan, occupy seven of them. As for the other three, they are scattered outside. This time, Baihua Pavilion, one of the four major powers in the Eastern Wilderness, obtained one, so it will also send disciples to come. However, each Luoshen Token can only bring no more than ten people into Luoshen Gate.
Of course, Qin Xin and the others were also curious as to why no one above the Qi Opening Realm had come, so that they could have obtained more good things from the Luoshen Gate ruins.
According to Xia Yue, the Luoshen Token was once contested not only by all forces in the Eastern Wilderness, but also by forces from the four regions of Yunxi Domain: Zhongzhou, Nanling, Xihai, and Beijing. Every time the Luoshen Mountain passage was opened, it would cause battles among countless forces, and even lead to conflicts between some top forces.
As time went by and the passages to Luoshen Mountain were continuously opened, most of the things within the Luoshen Gate ruins were gradually divided up by forces from all over the Yunxi Domain. There was nothing left to fight over, except for the occasional appearance of some treasures, which were of no concern to clans and forces. In order to avoid conflicts between sects and forces, an agreement was slowly reached: all sects would only send disciples below the Qi Opening Realm to the site, and those who violated this agreement would be besieged by all other sects and forces.
Now, the other four regions of Yunxi Domain have completely lost interest in the ruins of the Luoshen Sect. Even if they obtain the Luoshen Token, they are too lazy to send disciples to travel long distances to reach it. After the establishment of the Great Xia Dynasty, they claimed to be former disciples of the Luoshen Sect and slowly collected seven Luoshen Tokens, and then bestowed four of them upon the four major families.
And so, the night passed in silence. Undercurrents surged among the four great families of the Great Xia Dynasty. When the Fifth Prince arrived, he had a brief conflict with the Second Prince, but they did not fight directly. Instead, they planned to have a proper contest after entering the ruins of the Luoshen Gate.
Qin Xin, standing to the side, could roughly see that the Ruan clan was now on the side of the second prince, the Ba clan was on the side of the fifth prince, and the other two clans were observing and not participating in either side.
The night passed in silence. Although many monsters roared throughout the night, the large number of people made it much safer.
As the next morning dawned, the square began to buzz with noise, because at the top of Mount Luoshen, the fluctuations of spiritual energy were even more pronounced. Clearly, they all knew that today was the day the Luoshen Gate passage would open.
Qin Xin sat cross-legged, breathing deeply with his eyes slightly closed. The people beside him looked up at the top of Mount Luoshen, constantly observing the changes above.
Wow! This woman is like a fairy!
A chorus of exclamations suddenly rang out, and Qin Xin opened his eyes in curiosity.
"What a beautiful woman!" Qian Qianren exclaimed.
Qin Xin's mind also paused briefly at the sound of the exclamation, but he quickly regained his senses. He saw the woman lightly approaching on a white lotus flower, and the white lotus flower dissipated as her toes touched the ground.
On the white lotus, there was a woman with a graceful figure. Although her face was covered by a thin veil, her clear eyes made Qin Xin unable to look away for a moment.
"Don't look at what you shouldn't see! The more beautiful a woman is, the more dangerous she is!"
Qin Xin shook his head, patted his face, and forced himself to calm down.
"Hehe, it seems my disciple is tempted. If you like her, just go and push her down. It wouldn't be bad for your master and a few of your grand-disciples to play with her." Danqing's ambiguous voice suddenly rang in Qin Xin's mind.
"Teacher, I am a gentleman, how could I do such a frivolous thing!"
Qin Xinyi refuted this in his heart with righteous indignation.
"A gentleman? Bah!"
Danqing retorted directly.
