Chapter 338: The First Immortal Mountain in the Human World
Several Nascent Soul cultivators from the Ye family gathered here, each with an extremely gloomy face.
The square-faced monk and the old man with a black hat who had appeared at the Jinjing Grand Auction that day all showed up, but none of them were as eye-catching as the middle-aged Confucian scholar in the center.
The aura emanating from this middle-aged scholar was of a late Nascent Soul cultivator. He was one of the two great cultivators of the Ye family, and he was the one in the open.
"What's going on? Didn't they say that a magic array has been set up to cover up the forbidden celestial phenomena? Where is the magic array to cover it up?"
"The current situation is like this, and cultivators within thousands of miles can see it clearly. It will immediately attract countless cultivators. Do you want our Ye family to be exterminated?"
In the air above the small lake, the square-faced monk grabbed the collar of a white-haired old man with one hand and shouted sternly with a sullen face.
A few feet behind him, the faces of the other Ye family cultivators were uglier than each other.
In the center of the small lake, there was an extremely thick milky white light column rising into the sky. The diameter of this light column was thirty feet thick, like a pillar supporting the sky, rising straight into the clouds.
In the distance, six identical light pillars appeared, surrounding the small lake in the distance, which was extremely eye-catching.
In this case, it is no wonder that the square-faced monk was so furious.
This wave of turmoil can be said to have destroyed all their efforts over the years.
They originally wanted to break the ban quietly and secretly and enter Kunwu Mountain to take the treasure.
But now, everyone can see this movement unless they are blind.
The news will leak out soon, and then the attention of all the major sects of both good and evil will be focused on it.
"I don't know. I checked the concealment formation yesterday, and I ordered several disciples to open it this morning."
The white-haired old man is a formation master of the Ye family who is responsible for lifting the seal. At this moment, he also spoke with a look of panic on his face.
"Second brother, let nephew Linglong go first. He has spent a lot of effort to dismantle this magic circle. It is impossible that the problem lies with him. There must be other reasons!" The middle-aged Confucian scholar said slowly.
Then, a trace of determination and ruthlessness appeared on his face, and he said sternly: "You guys go and check those concealing magic arrays immediately. If they are not activated, activate them immediately. If there is an error in the magic array, adjust it immediately."
"If we can repair these magic arrays in a short period of time, we can just attack together and kill all the cultivators within a few thousand miles."
As he spoke, a hint of coldness appeared in his eyes.
Hearing his words, the square-faced monk immediately let go of the white-haired old man's collar, and the several elders of the Ye family pointed out by the middle-aged scholar all bowed and agreed, "Yes, Great Elder."
Then these people immediately shot out in all directions.
After the scholar finished giving the order, he turned to the white-haired old man and asked, "I can not hold you responsible for the problem with the concealment formation, but there should be no accidents in lifting the seal, right?"
There was no emotion in the scholar's voice. The white-haired old man shuddered and immediately replied respectfully:
"Reporting to the Great Elder, there is absolutely no problem. The seal of Kunwu Mountain has been opened a crack."
"Well, that's all. Go tell the core tribesmen that have been selected in advance to gather immediately and start preparing to evacuate."
"You don't have to go back to your clan. Just go to the place arranged in advance and hide under a false name. From now on, unless I come to see you in person, never show up again!" said the middle-aged Confucian scholar indifferently.
The meaning of these words actually gave off a feeling of making arrangements for future affairs, which showed that he already understood in his heart that the commotion here could no longer be concealed, and the Ye family would most likely be exterminated by both the righteous and evil sects!
The white-haired old man was startled when he heard this, and immediately said yes. Then he fell into the lake and disappeared without a trace.
The other cultivators of the Ye family also regained their composure at this time and stood quietly waiting.
The places where the magic arrays were concealed were not too far away, and coupled with the Nascent Soul cultivators' speed of escape, a round trip would naturally only take a moment.
As a result, within a cup of tea, some of the Ye family elders who were investigating flew back, with expressions of shock and anger on their faces.
"Great Elder, this is bad. The magic circle I explored has been completely destroyed. The disciples who were in charge of the magic circle have all disappeared."
Upon hearing this, the middle-aged scholar's face darkened and his eyes flashed with coldness.
Upon hearing this, the expressions of the other monks changed drastically and there was a commotion.
Not long after, when the monks who had explored the other magic arrays came back, they described the same situation as the first person: the magic arrays were destroyed and the disciples who controlled the magic arrays disappeared out of thin air.
At this moment, everyone felt that the problem was serious, and all the practitioners of the Ye family fell silent.
The middle-aged scholar turned to look at the big-headed weirdo next to him and said in a deep voice: "Seventh Uncle, it seems that this incident is really going to be a disaster for my Ye family. It's all my fault that I was blind and failed to find the spies hidden in my family, which led to such a big mistake!"
The man he called Seventh Uncle was a big-headed weirdo, who was also in the late Nascent Soul stage. Next to him stood an ancient demon who had transformed into Han Li's appearance.
The big-headed weirdo sighed and said, "Nephew, don't blame yourself. Over the years, I have not been in the clan, and the development of the clan has all depended on you. I have seen your efforts."
The middle-aged scholar sighed and said slowly: "Since the matter has been exposed, we can only place all our bets on that spiritual treasure!"
"There aren't many big sects in Southern Xinjiang. We won't pose a big threat in the short term. It will take cultivators from other places more than ten days or half a month to get here."
"Although we don't know what the situation is inside Kunwu Mountain, we must get those two magical treasures as soon as possible. Only in this way can we protect ourselves."
“Otherwise, not only will hundreds of years of planning become a waste of other people’s efforts, but the Ye family will also be in danger of being exterminated!” The white-robed scholar said grimly to the others.
"Yes, Great Elder!" Upon hearing this, the other elders of the Ye family were startled and agreed in unison.
After a while, several people flew out of the lake. After seeing them, the scholar immediately asked calmly, "Have you confirmed the location of the seal crack?"
"It has been found. It is underground twenty miles to the north. The elders can just sneak in." The visitor replied hurriedly.
"Lead the way, let's go." The scholar said without hesitation.
"Yes, Great Elder!" The man bowed and responded.
Immediately, a group of nine monks fled to the north.
…
Hundreds of miles away, a dozen monks wearing the same attire turned their heads at the same time, staring in amazement at the huge column of light rising into the sky.
"What is that?"
"It must be a rare treasure that has appeared in the world!"
"Since they appeared in Southern Xinjiang, they must be from our Poison Saint Sect. Quickly pass the news back to the sect!"
…
After a quick exchange, the disciples of the Poison Saint Sect, the largest sect in southern Xinjiang, immediately passed the message on.
Thousands of miles away, on a mountain peak, a group of monks gathered here. It looked like a feast.
Although they are all low-level cultivators, and the highest-level cultivators are only a few at the foundation-building stage, it is quite lively when they gather here.
At this moment, someone suddenly pointed in the distance in surprise and shouted, "What is that?"
A group of people looked in the direction and saw a huge white beam of light appear between heaven and earth thousands of miles away, reaching from the sky to the earth. It was truly spectacular!
"A rare treasure appears?"
“Could it be the cave of an ancient cultivator?”
…
Amidst the discussions, an old man with a smooth face pulled his white beard and looked at the huge beam of light in astonishment.
After a moment, an imperceptible sigh sounded: "This is trouble!"
The old man disappeared silently, and the people around him did not notice this scene. They all looked at the movement there in amazement.
At the same time, he did not forget to send a message to the sect to which he belonged.
Then, flying swords carrying letters appeared and shot out in all directions.
This kind of scene is happening all over southern Xinjiang.
With the small lake where the Ye family cultivators were located as the center, all the cultivators within thousands of miles were startled by these shocking light beams.
Whether it was the nearby cultivator families, sects or individual cultivators, they all flew towards the place where the beam of light was emitted.
Not long after, the news of the birth of a rare treasure spread throughout southern Xinjiang at an astonishing speed.
A few days later, even the neighboring states and counties heard about it.
For a time, the entire southern Xinjiang was in turmoil!
At the same time when the Ye family cultivator entered the forbidden crack leading to Kunwu Mountain, Ye Changsheng and four others appeared in an unfamiliar place.
They were standing in the middle of a huge teleportation array, surrounded by rough stone walls, like a huge stalactite cave.
Bai Yaoyi and the others felt it was a bit strange to suddenly appear in such a place. Looking at the scene around them, they all fell silent.
"It seems that we have been teleported to an unknown place. The most important thing right now is to find out the situation here!" Ye Changsheng pondered for a moment and said slowly.
"We will naturally follow the lead of Fellow Daoist Ye!" The old man surnamed Fu immediately laughed and expressed his opinion.
The other few people had no objection to what he said and looked like they would completely obey Ye Changsheng's advice.
Seeing this, Ye Changsheng nodded slightly and said, "In that case, let's go out and investigate the situation here first!"
As he said this, he turned around and looked at the bluestone steps behind him leading to the outside.
This bluestone staircase goes up slantingly, and you can't see the end at a glance.
It looked like they were in the deepest part of the mountain.
"Let's go!"
As soon as Ye Changsheng finished speaking, he took the lead and flew towards the bluestone passage, and the four people behind him immediately followed.
After flying for a while, everyone felt a little surprised.
Because they flew along the bluestone steps for a long time, but still could not fly out, and the bluestone steps under their feet were still the same.
You have to know that with their speed and flying for such a long time, this distance is already terrifying enough.
If everyone hadn't been using their spiritual sense to repeatedly scan everything nearby and hadn't seen any formation fluctuations, they would have almost thought that everyone was trapped in some kind of restriction.
Who would build a passage so long?
Han Li, the old man surnamed Fu and others were all confused and flew forward for a while before a light appeared in front of them.
As soon as they flew out of the passage, they appeared on a huge platform. The ground was covered with flat bluestone bricks. It seemed to be thousands of feet wide at a glance. They took a deep breath and the fragrance of plants and flowers penetrated into their lungs.
The spiritual energy here is extremely rich, and looking forward, the old man surnamed Fu and others suddenly showed surprise on their faces.
As far as the eye can see, at the end of the platform is a vertical mountain wall. Looking up along the mountain wall, I found that the sky is just a thin pale white line.
Turning around and looking towards the exit, they saw that there was also a mountain wall of the same height behind them, and the mountain wall opposite them, sandwiching them in the middle.
The giant platform under your feet was actually built in an incredibly deep gorge.
"Let's go up and take a look!" Ye Changsheng said calmly. He had already anticipated the situation here, so he was not surprised at all.
The other four people suddenly broke into such a strange place. Looking at the tall mountain walls in front of them, they were all surprised and nervous.
Under the leadership of Ye Changsheng, everyone flew upwards, and after flying for thousands of feet, they finally flew out of the canyon.
After looking around, the old man surnamed Fu and others immediately showed disbelief on their faces.
An expression of horror appeared on each of their faces, and the only word that popped into their minds at this moment was: Big!
Even Han Li, who had seen the hugeness of the Holy Mountain in Tianxing City in Chaos Star Sea, could not help but reveal a look of shock on his face.
Because he found that compared with the giant mountain before him, the Holy Mountain, which was the most magnificent mountain he had ever seen in the past, was much shorter!
Looking up, all they could see was lush green, with no end in sight. The canyon they had come out of was just a tiny crack at the foot of the mountain.
But these alone were enough to shock them. What was most speechless was that such a huge mountain was also within a huge restriction.
As long as you turn your head and look outside the mountain, you can immediately see a white light curtain descending from the sky, boundless, as if covering the entire mountain.
Such a grand gesture is definitely not something that people in the current world of immortal cultivation can do.
A few words immediately flashed in the minds of the old man surnamed Fu and others: ancient ruins!
They couldn't help but start flying out and looking around. When they flew in front of the huge white light curtain, everyone immediately felt their own insignificance.
"Who on earth can create such a magnificent miracle!" Bai Yaoyi stood beside Ye Changsheng and said in an astonished tone.
"This is the greatest ambition in the world of immortal cultivation!" Ye Changsheng also said with a sigh.
He could feel the terrifying spiritual power contained in the white light curtain before him without having to take any action.
Not to mention that he is a cultivator in the late Nascent Soul stage, even if he is a true Spirit Transformation stage cultivator, he cannot break this restriction by brute force.
