Free Web NovelChapter 614: Chapter 409: Number One in the Wanlang Mountains (2)
[You have gained control of this immense power by mastering the Secret Realm of Blessed Land.]
[At the same time, you developed several arrays to assist the Secret Realm Team.]
[In name, it is assistance, but in reality, you have become the leader of the entire Secret Realm Team.]
[At this moment, you are the undisputed first person in Wanlang.]
[In the same year, you changed the name of the Secret Realm Team to Dao Guide Team.]
[In the year 5545 of the New Source Era, a total of eleven Blessed Lands were conquered, and the pace of the Dao Guide Team began to slow down.]
[Yunmiao needed a place to further study Sword Dao, and you handed your Star River Sword Order to Yunmiao.]
[In the year 5548 of the New Source Era, Yunmiao once again left the Wanlang Mountains, crossing the Void Abyss to venture to the outside world.]
[In the year 5555 of the New Source Era, amidst the craze of conquering secret realms among various cultivation realms of the Wanlang Mountains.]
[The entire Wanlang Mountains welcomed a second Spiritual Qi Recovery.]
[Perhaps for some large-scale cultivation realms, the Spiritual Qi Recovery had little impact, yet countless Spiritless Lands were silently enveloped by dense Spiritual Qi.]
[The Dao Guide Team set up an affiliate force, the Immortal-Guiding Sect, to begin the dissemination of teachings in lands where Spiritual Qi had recovered.]
[Some newly emerged evil cultivators were eradicated by cultivators from a prosperous cultivation civilization before they could start blood sacrifices of the masses.]
[In the year 5565 of the New Source Era, your cultivation reached Nascent Soul Perfection.]
[In the year 5568 of the New Source Era, the Void Abyss began to fluctuate...]
The entire Wanlang Mountains are completely different now compared to a hundred years ago.
If placed in the mundane world, a hundred years is a long time, enough for everything to change.
But in the cultivation realm, a hundred years is not considered very long, even for Golden Core cultivators.
Yet in these hundred years, the entire Wanlang Mountains have undergone tremendous changes.
The middle connects the east, west, and north, where all cultivation realms are interconnected.
Countless cultivators have focused their minds on developing the secret realms.
With the establishment of the Dao Guide Team, all forces have no more concerns.
And the Dao Guide Team has withstood the pressure, its power rapidly expanding.
Utilizing the support and interference in conquering secret realms, the Dao Guide Team has become the most potent organization in the Wanlang Mountains.
In the sky above the original Flying Star Cultivation Realm.
Lies a huge Celestial Palace in the Clouds.
This is the headquarters of the Dao Guide Team.
Constructed by the Tier Eight Peak Array Master Zhong Heng, six Tier Seven Artifact Refiners, three Tier Seven Talisman Masters, two Tier Seven Array Masters, along with dozens of Nascent Soul cultivators and countless Golden Core Foundation Establishments.
Over three years, this miraculous Celestial Palace in the Clouds was successfully established.
The building materials within are at least various metallic spirit woods that can serve as artifact raw materials.
Engraved with seven Tier Eight arrays, twenty-one Tier Seven arrays, countless arrays below Tier Seven.
At the core of the Celestial Palace in the Clouds is a Haoyang captured from the Secret Realm.
The Haoyang perpetually emits True Sun Fire as the energy core for the Celestial Palace in the Clouds.
In reality, this Haoyang is merely a projection in the Secret Realm, captured using divine techniques by various cultivators.
Above the Celestial Palace in the Clouds, many Star Arrays are also engraved, capable of transforming into energy using Star Power.
At the bottom of the Cloud Palace is engraved with the Geomagnetic Array, suspended by geomagnetic forces, consuming little energy, allowing it to stay afloat in the sky for units of a millennium even without connecting to a Spirit Vein.
The area of the Celestial Palace is not very large, but it can house tens of thousands.
All cultivators of the Wanlang Mountains take pride in coming to the Celestial Palace in the Clouds, though not everyone can come.
Within the Celestial Palace in the Clouds exists a Ten Thousand Sects List.
It includes numerous Nascent Soul Sects and some potentially promising Golden Core Sects.
Achieving the list represents being recognized.
Countless sects dream of making it onto the Ten Thousand Sects List.
Once on the Ten Thousand Sects List, it represents enjoying the support of the Dao Guide Team, providing backing to freely attack secret realms.
As long as resources are not knowingly wasted, the Dao Guide Team can serve as a guarantor.
It is due to this that the entire Wanlang Mountains are so passionate about secret realms.
At the very top of the Celestial Palace, the place closest to the Nine Heavens.
A man in a finely crafted black robe sits cross-legged.
A group of cultivators, resembling exiled immortals, came before the man, bowing respectfully.
"Greetings, Leader Zhong."
This group of cultivators are all in the Nascent Soul Realm, yet at this moment show immense respect to the black-robed man.
The reason is that before them stands the first person in the Wanlang Mountains, the founder and leader of the Dao Guide Team, the pillar of the entire Wanlang Mountains, Zhong Heng.
Zhong Heng glanced at them, nodded, indicating them to speak.
Whether or not to lead a force, the size of the force can have an impact on the River Map.
This is why Zhong Heng chose to continually ally, ultimately creating the massive entity known as Dao Guide Team.
Now, Zhong Heng’s ability to infer River Map is more than ten times what it was when he led the Flying Star Realm.
That Mist Embodied Method is just one step away from being deduced.
The Vast Mist is even feared by immortals, making it the best method to embody it.
It was because of reaching this critical juncture that Zhong Heng came out of seclusion to take charge personally.
Kong Hong recently sent word that the Five Elements True Immortal is about to emerge from seclusion.
It would be best to finalize the Incarnation Technique before visiting the Five Elements Sect.
"Leader, the power of the Void Abyss has started to stir..."
"According to past patterns, it is not yet time for the Void Abyss Beast Tide to come, yet the Void Abyss is showing such signs."
"I suspect it may be related to the recent continuous Spiritual Qi Recovery in the Wanlang Mountains."
"Maybe frequent Spiritual Qi Recoveries have drawn the attention of existences within the Void Abyss."
Zhong Heng nodded, his expression also growing serious.
"Research on the Void Abyss within the Void Realm has never ceased. I will publish the research results; please proceed to fortify the defensive barriers along the eastern, western, and northern coasts, and spread some research findings."
The Wanlang Mountains have conquered many secret realms, none directly interacting with the Void Abyss like the Void Realm.
Thus, the Void Realm has not been integrated into the Wanlang Mountains; rather, it serves as a research base, deeply studying the various characteristics and abilities of the Void Abyss Beasts.
Numerous forces within the Void Realm have moved out, forming a new large-scale cultivation realm known as the Void Large-scale Cultivation Realm in the Wanlang Mountains.
Facing the possibly imminent Void Abyss Beast Tide, Zhong Heng is somewhat solemn but not overly anxious.
The Void Abyss Beast Tide can be seen as a natural phenomenon, as the vast majority of Void Abyss Beasts lack wisdom.
While the Void Abyss Beasts may bring destruction to the Wanlang Mountains, if they are slain, each Void Abyss Beast can be as valuable as a Dragon Species Demon Beast.
Dragons are famous for being full of treasures.
"I ask you all to devote your efforts."
"Rest assured, Leader."
All nodded.
Zhong Heng had decades of friendship with them.
In the beginning, Zhong Heng persuaded them to join with righteousness, or by tempting benefits, or simply by persuasion.
Nowadays, all the masters of the Dao Guide Team are inextricably linked with Zhong Heng as a community of shared interests.
"Leader, there’s one more thing..."
Everyone was about to leave.
One of them spoke again.
"Among the numerous conquered secret realms, I discovered more than ten worlds already depleted..."
"These worlds do not appear to be naturally depleted; rather, they resemble sinister practices..."
"Moreover, these secret realm worlds are fundamentally unable to integrate into our Wanlang Mountains; even when opening a passage, our Wanlang Mountains need to pour Spiritual Qi into them."
"Initially, I didn’t pay much attention..."
"But a few days ago, a previously conquered secret realm suddenly lost contact; upon reestablishing contact, all beings within, including the cultivators we sent in, were devoid of any vitality."
"That sensation... felt somewhat familiar... akin to..."
"Venerable Peach Blossom..."
