Chapter 143

Since Cloudnet Mountain's Six Dao sealed the mountain, over thirty years have passed in a blink, just as Tie Lanshan had expected; nowadays, if it weren't for cultivators deliberately mentioning Cloudnet Mountain's Six Dao, everyone in the Xichui Cultivation Realm would have almost forgotten it.

Over the past thirty years, the spiritual qi density in the Xichui Cultivation Realm has risen again, more second-tier spirit veins have appeared, and even second-tier top-grade spirit veins like those of Cloudnet Mountain have emerged in two lines.

This also meant Cloudnet Mountain was no longer the only one, and it also diverted the attention of Xichui cultivators.

To say where spiritual qi is densest in the Xichui Cultivation Realm nowadays, none but the Cangyun Mountain Range.

Unfortunately, that place is firmly controlled by the Soul Refining Hall; non-Golden Core cultivators who enter will surely die. Moreover, the Gulan Relics, just as Tie Lanshan and they had guessed, have appeared in eight directions, totaling eight relics.

However, the appearance time of the last relic was unexpectedly late, almost only appearing twenty-eight years after Tie Lanshan sealed the mountain.

At this time, many formation masters have already seen the layout of these eight relics.

For a moment, the name of the Bagua Seal Heaven Formation, which had long lain dormant at the bottom of the river of years, resurfaced again, and because of it it stirred up tremendous waves.

In the heart of the Hundred Kingdoms Alliance, many Golden Core cultivators led teams, rushing en masse to the Xichui region.

At this moment, the Cloudnet Mountain Range's year-round shrouding mist has quietly dispersed.

At the summit of Tiangang Peak, Tie Lanshan stood at the highest point, releasing the aura of a mid-Foundation Establishment peak cultivator with a robust presence, shaking the surrounding clouds apart.

Tie Lanshan's robust divine sense swept down, and he perceived the figures of all cultivators on the peak.

"Hah! After thirty years, our family's secret art, the Formation Fusion Technique, has finally achieved minor success!"

Tie Lanshan smiled at the corner of his mouth; with the current power of the Heavenly Thunder Earthly Fire Formation, once he unleashes the Formation Fusion Technique, he is fully confident of slaying even a Great Completion Foundation Establishment cultivator who comes to attack.

Afterwards he turned his gaze to the remaining peaks; since his Tiangang Peak is the highest, on clear days standing at the top lets him oversee all ten core peaks at a glance.

Basically, aside from his Tiangang Peak, the peaks of Wang Ping and a few others remain shrouded in white mist.

"Looks like we still need to wait a few days, but some preparatory work can begin now."

Tie Lanshan secretly pondered in his heart; although he is in seclusion, some outside affairs are not completely unknown to him.

Nowadays, the Xichui Cultivation Realm has seen an influx of many Foundation Establishment cultivators, and even Golden Core cultivators can be seen flashing through the air.

Everyone knows why they have come; Tie Lanshan's heart is also crystal clear— their earlier speculation proved true, and the Gulan Relics were indeed established relying on the Formation Sect's Bagua Seal Heaven Formation.

"Now that the eight-direction Gulan Relics have emerged, I don't know how much longer it will be before the thing sealed at the very center appears in the world."

Tie Lanshan kept guessing in his heart; he originally thought that once the eight Gulan Relics emerged, the central sealed site would definitely appear within one to three years, but considering that the eighth relic appeared twenty-eight years after their seclusion began, Tie Lanshan dare not speak rashly about it.

Set this matter aside, Tie Lanshan sent a divine sense transmission, summoning the mountain's steward to the peak.

Liu Han had been sitting in meditation cultivating when he suddenly heard the Peak Master's voice transmission; he dared not delay and immediately flew to the peak. When he emerged and saw that the formation on the mountainside had already dissipated, he knew the Peak Master had ended his seclusion.

"Congratulations, Peak Master, on your great advancement in cultivation!"

As soon as he entered, Liu Han immediately offered his congratulations to the Peak Master.

Tie Lanshan nodded, casually tossed out a jade bottle, and said with a smile:

"I have been in seclusion these years; you have worked hard. This bottle of pills is a reward for you."

Liu Han gently grasped the medicine bottle in his hand, his heart surging with excitement; he is now fifty, and his cultivation has reached the breakthrough point of the Great Perfection of Qi Refining.

At this moment he needed the pills to boost his cultivation, which would allow him to make further progress in one go.

"Thank you, Peak Master!" Liu Han said gratefully.

"Next, I have a matter to entrust to you; if you do it well, I, the Peak Master, will reward you with a Foundation Establishment spiritual object!" Tie Lanshan still spoke in that gentle tone.

Upon hearing about the Foundation Establishment spiritual object, Liu Han became even more excited, immediately bowed deeply, and said respectfully: "Please, Peak Master, give your orders; your subordinate will surely exert all effort to complete the task."

Tie Lanshan nodded, his lips moving slightly; after a cup of tea, Liu Han calmly walked out of the hall.

In the second month after Tie Lanshan left seclusion, Wang Ye left seclusion; in the third month, Zhang Zuo and Ou Yang Hua almost simultaneously left seclusion; half a year later, Master Liaoru left seclusion.

The five people had been waiting for Wang Ping to leave seclusion, but even after a year, Changsheng Peak remained shrouded in white mist.

"Speaking of perseverance in the Dao, Fellow Daoist Lan is truly the rarest I have ever seen in my life!" Zhang Zuo said admiringly.

"The poor monk estimates that if we see Fellow Daoist Lan again, he will probably already be a late Foundation Establishment cultivator." Master Liaoru smiled and guessed.

"Hahaha! With Fellow Daoist Lan's abilities, if he reaches late Foundation Establishment, he might not even have an opponent among those who have attained the Great Perfection of Foundation Establishment."

Tie Lanshan laughed heartily; finally, his expression suddenly became solemn:

"Everyone, we have now reached the peak of mid-Foundation Establishment; adding the seven-pattern innate fate treasure in our hands, even against late Foundation Establishment we could fight; it's time to reclaim the remaining peaks of the Yunluo Mountain Range!"

As soon as Tie Lanshan's words fell, Master Liaoru and the others' expressions also turned solemn; Zhang Zuo strongly agreed with Tie Lanshan's proposal, and following his words he said:

"Not bad, Fellow Daoist Lan Ning's words make sense; it's time to completely take back the Yunluo Mountain Range under our control."

Master Liaoru and the others also nodded; Wang Ye grinned and said: "After thirty years of cultivation, my body is about to rust; a great battle is just the thing to loosen my bones."

Tie Lanshan replied with a smile: "There will be times to fight with you. In three days, we will begin our formal resurgence."

"Good!"

"No problem!"

"Can do!"

Taking advantage of the advantage of having disappeared for over thirty years, Tie Lanshan and the others, with thunderous force, brought all the remaining thirty-two peaks of the Yunluo Mountain Range under their control.

After the Xichui cultivation world received news of the Yunluo Six Dao's resurgence, Tie Lanshan's five people had each already slain a late Foundation Establishment cultivator, establishing a fearsome reputation in the Xichui cultivation world.

From then on, the Yunluo Six Dao could be considered to have initially established a foothold; as long as they did not provoke a Golden Core true person, in the Xichui cultivation world the Yunluo Six Dao had already reached a point where no one dared to provoke them.

This reputation was forged by slaying eleven late Foundation Establishment cultivators before and after.

Afterwards, over twenty years, Tie Lanshan and the others' fame spread widely, not only because of their combat strength, but also

Because of their skills in formations, pills, spirit cuisine, puppets, these skills allowed them to earn enough spirit stones ten, and also allowed them to make many fellow Daoist friends.

Over twenty years, Wang Ping never left seclusion, causing the outside world to almost forget him.

And then, on a pitch-black night, the Yunluo Mountain Range experienced a slight tremor; Tie Lanshan and the five others floated in midair, gazing at the greatly increased spiritual energy of the core ten peaks, each showing a thoughtful expression.

"Amitabha! If the poor monk is not mistaken, this is the prelude to the spiritual veins advancing."

Tie Lanshan and the others nodded; they obviously had also thought of this.

Also, on that same night, within the heart of the Hundred Nations Alliance, the Clear Void Sect emitted a ray of red spiritual light; within that red spiritual light, an old man clad in a red spiritual robe had a calm expression, but the killing intent that could not be concealed in his crimson eyes showed that his mood was extremely bad.

"Just a Foundation Establishment cultivator, dare to swallow my treasure? Courting death!"
