Chapter 896: The Stage is High...
The summit of Kunlun Mountain.
The immortals of Lingxiao retreated to the Ninth Heaven, and the sky returned to its original clear state.
There was just one more celestial mountain under the high heavens. That celestial mountain was incomparably majestic, reaching through heaven and earth. Even though Kunlun was thousands of miles away from that celestial mountain, its towering peaks could still be seen.
With Hua Jinzhen's profound understanding, one can clearly see the pavilions and towers, waterfalls and mountains on the fairy mountain, as well as the birds and beasts flying and running among the forests.
She heard what the Jade Emperor said.
That sounds nice, like some kind of divine opportunity on a sacred mountain...
Isn't it just about using her subordinate immortals as guinea pigs?
But she couldn't refuse, nor was she able to refuse.
"Pass down the order." She said calmly to the group of Kunlun disciples behind her who were already stunned, "All disciples below the Golden Core stage, come to the hall for a meeting. I have an important matter to announce."
This sacred mountain can be considered a secret realm for now, but it's unknown whether it's dangerous or blessed. She needs to send some disciples with lower cultivation levels in first to investigate.
If it's not as dangerous as she imagined, or if there really is some great opportunity, then she can let a higher-level immortal enter her palace. At that time, it might really help improve the overall strength of Kunlun Immortal Palace.
…
Hua Jinzhen moved very quickly.
Soon, a group of immortals with mediocre or average talent were selected and brought to the front of the immortal mountain.
Those with exceptional talent are hard to let go of.
Those with less talent might miss out on the resources of the Immortal Mountain.
The best is something that's neither too high nor too low.
Before the sacred mountain, dozens of disciples dressed in Kunlun Taoist robes stopped at a secluded mountain hollow.
Before us lay the foot of that celestial mountain that seemed to have descended from the heavens.
A barrier as thin as a cicada's wing, shimmering with a pale golden glow, resembled a giant bubble, separating the two worlds.
"Enter."
The elder leading the group, a Golden Core cultivator, took a deep breath and stepped forward.
Wave--
A soft sound, like raindrops falling onto the lake.
The elder's figure passed through the light membrane without any hindrance.
Immediately afterwards, the Foundation Establishment disciples behind him looked at each other in bewilderment, then gritted their teeth and filed in.
Hua Jinzhen stood atop a distant cliff, her gaze fixed intently on those figures.
What happened next made her heart skip a beat.
But the moment the disciples stepped into the barrier, their bodies suddenly stiffened.
Immediately afterwards, all of them tilted their heads back, opened their mouths wide, and their chests heaved violently.
They are breathing.
Greedily, thirstily, like a drowning fish finally surfacing, or like a beggar who has been starving for three days smelling the aroma of braised pork.
Even through the barrier, Hua Jinzhen seemed to be able to smell that intoxicating aroma—spiritual energy.
Perhaps it was spiritual energy that was 100 times, 1000 times more concentrated than Earth's, and so pure as to be almost liquefied.
"What a wonderful place... truly a wonderful place! We must help Kunlun Immortal Palace secure this celestial paradise!"
The Golden Core Elder turned around, his face flushed with intoxication.
He bowed deeply to Hua Jinzhen through the light barrier, then turned and waved.
"Walk!"
Dozens of figures quickly disappeared into the lush, verdant forest, swallowed by the clouds and mist.
Hua Jinzhen tightened her grip on her sleeve.
She forcibly suppressed the urge to go in and experience it herself, turned around, and sat cross-legged on a blue stone.
"Keep an eye on the soul tablet."
Her voice was clear and cold, echoing in the valley.
At this moment, the soul tablets of these immortals who entered the Immortal Mountain are placed in front of them. Once they die, the immortals will know immediately. If their souls are not instantly erased, the immortals can also see how they died through the soul tablets. This is also a way to understand the Immortal Mountain.
"If it breaks, report it immediately."
The wind blew across the snow-covered Kunlun Mountains, making it a bit cold.
Hua Jinzhen closed her eyes, but the crease between her brows could not be smoothed out.
This pie that fell from the sky smells so good, but... it's too hot.
I have a feeling that something big is about to happen.
…
Cangyun Realm, the Upper Realm.
Returning to the core.
This is the end of cause and effect, the origin of the 녡 world.
Bai Jian sat upright in the void, surrounded by countless flowing bands of starlight.
He lowered his eyes slightly, those eyes that seemed to contain the birth and death of the universe, staring at his palm.
In the palm of his hand floated a miniature, emerald-green mountain, the size of a duckweed.
That was the immortal mountain on Earth, a fully-fledged folded space that he had personally built.
In his eyes, the swarm of "ants" that had just invaded were nothing more than insignificant specks of dust.
Their greed, their fear, their every move were all laid bare under his watchful gaze.
"The stage is set up."
Bai Jian's lips curled slightly, forming a cold, ruthless smile.
"The actors are also in place."
"So……"
He extended his long, slender, jade-like fingers and gently touched the air.
Splash—
Countless shimmering, iridescent points of light appeared out of thin air from the void.
Like a celestial maiden scattering flowers, or a dazzling meteor shower, they gently fell upon the miniature fairy mountain in the palm of the hand.
Those are not spiritual energy.
Instead, they were various cultivation techniques, top-grade spiritual treasures, and elixirs that Earth cultivators had seen in the Netherworld.
It is a source of calamity that can cause mortals to turn against immortals, brothers to turn against each other, and fathers and sons to become enemies.
"...Let this cause and effect cause and effect to overflow and bring disaster."
Bai Jianyan's smile grew increasingly sinister.
He's raising poisonous insects.
They were also fishing.
Only when enough blood is shed will the threads of cause and effect be tightly bound, and only then will the fusion of these two worlds be... foolproof.
…
at the same time.
Canglan Realm, the Starry Sky Forest.
The trees here are unbelievably tall.
Each roe tree reaches straight into the sky, its canopy blocking out the sun, and twinkling stars shimmer among its leaves, as if this forest truly holds a starry sky.
The air was humid and stuffy, carrying the earthy smell and the pungent odor of some wild animal.
"arrive."
Bisisi stopped in her tracks; her magnificent papal robes stood spotless amidst the thorny thicket.
She turned around and looked at Li Qingran behind her, as well as the white-clad fighting spirit floating beside Li Qingran with a lazy expression.
"Core Area of the Starry Sky Forest".
Bibi pointed to the deep, dark forest ahead, which seemed to devour the light.
"This is one of the largest settlements of Beasts on the Canglan Continent. Your husband... has quite the appetite; he wants to eat older, more mature beasts. This place will provide plenty."
She paused, her gaze sweeping over the pale golden boundary ring on Chen Huai'an's body, a barely perceptible hint of apprehension and fervor flashing in her eyes.
"However, world beasts that are over 100,000 years old have already developed intelligence and are as cunning as foxes."
"They hide in this vast forest, each with their own territory and methods of concealment."
"If they don't want to come out, even if a titled warrior turns this forest upside down, they still won't find one."
Bixi frowned and said helplessly, "This forest is too big."
"They are like tigers trying to eat the sky, with nowhere to land."
"We need to think of a way..."
Her phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, flashing with a dangerous light:
“Fire them out…”
