Even though Liaoyuan was well-traveled and knowledgeable, he was stunned and at a loss for words by the scene before him.
"Master, don't rush, please come with me!"
The group, unsure of Xie Ming's intentions, could only obediently follow behind him.
After walking for a while, they realized that the surroundings were like a virtual landscape, and even the ground was perfectly flat.
After crossing a mountain, Xie Ming found a huge rock and gestured for them to sit down.
Before long, the masters saw a group of young people come to the place and put things around, including swords, ropes, and other things they couldn't name.
"Those are all magical artifacts used for setting up formations, and that sword should be a protective artifact given by a major sect..."
Xie Ming explained one by one, and the masters nodded obediently, like chicks pecking at rice.
Once everyone was settled, a young man in blue robes, who was leading the way, went alone into the dark cave ahead.
The masters looked at Xie Ming with puzzlement.
"Don't let his youthful appearance fool you, he should be over a hundred years old. He is a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator. If he breaks through, his lifespan can be extended to 500 years. If not, he can only live to 200."
All three were surprised. They had only wanted to ask what the person was going there for, but Xie Ming had said something else entirely.
"Thank you, benefactor. Did Elder Qingfeng also receive this opportunity?"
Liao Yuan had no doubt about Xie Ming anymore and immediately asked a question.
"That shouldn't be the case."
Why?
"Foundation Building is a cultivation stage. After cultivation, cultivators can be divided into Qi Refining, Foundation Building, Golden Core, Nascent Soul, and other realms. Elder Qingfeng's cultivation method can indeed reach Foundation Building, but it stops there. It is far removed from the Great Dao of this world."
How did you learn this, benefactor?
"I have already cultivated to the Golden Core stage, so I naturally know the intricacies of it."
"Do you have any connection with Zhang Qishan, the leader of the alliance?"
Liao Yuan's previously warm voice suddenly turned cold.
Yes, they are irreconcilable enemies.
Xie Ming's words were resolute, and his eyes flashed with murderous intent.
Liaoyuan stared at him for a moment, then relaxed and murmured, "May Buddha have mercy!"
Before the group could finish speaking, the young man in blue robes from the illusion rushed out of the cave and saw a giant python with its blood-red mouth wide open following behind him.
After the man in blue escaped the danger, the people waiting outside rushed forward, and a hunt began.
The group of seemingly young people were all exceptionally skilled and resourceful. More importantly, the various Five Elements techniques they employed shattered the worldviews of the masters present.
Only then did they realize what the methods of immortals were, and what the heavens beyond heavens were.
"Thank you, benefactor. You just said that this is a Taoist practitioner. Is there any Buddhist practice?"
Liao Yuan's voice trembled as he asked the question. Xie Ming had just said that he was a Golden Core cultivator, but he hadn't gone to the Taoist sects but had come to the Buddhist sects instead.
This made Liao Yuan think and ponder more.
"Master, the reason I came to your temple is for this matter."
Xie Ming stood up, his tall and elegant figure bowing slightly to them. Then he turned around and waved his hand, and the illusion before their eyes disappeared. In the blink of an eye, they reappeared in front of a magnificent ancient temple.
