Chapter 483: The mountain, it flew!

~16 min read 3,009 words

"Why did you take them in?"

"Iron Green Mountain was taken by the Myriad Phenomena Sect; with this batch of Myriad Phenomena disciples here, it's only right and proper for us to take over."

"Why go to such trouble? The three of us joined forces..."

"To kill them?"

"Yes, a mere few hundred people, with only ten Foundation Establishment cultivators. Killing them would take no effort at all!"

"Aren't you afraid of fish slipping through the net?"

"With Jiang Yu's Rain-Calling Banner and Sea-Stabilizing Pearl, not one of the hundreds will escape!"

"Then have you considered the loose cultivators lurking nearby? If the news leaks even a little, it's a grave crime of violating the opening alliance and attacking our own people! Di Wuqi, can you bear this charge? Can the Luo Tian Alliance bear it?"

"But I already killed Yang Wenchang!"

"Your methods were discreet; no third person knows besides me and Jiang Yu."

"Fine, I'll do as you say. Then what do you plan to do with this batch of Myriad Phenomena Sect disciples?"

"They won't join your Wind and Rain Villa, nor my Luo Tian Sect; they will be incorporated into the alliance. When the time comes, we'll allocate them a piece of land within the sect to maintain the Myriad Phenomena Sect's inheritance. This way, we can take over Iron Green Mountain logically and spread the benevolent reputation of our Luo Tian Alliance."

"Dan Chenzi, you are raising a tiger that will cause trouble; you will regret this!"

"I am the Alliance Leader!"

On the mountaintop,

a conversation ended unhappily.

Di Wuqi left with anger.

Luo Chen watched his back, his eyes narrowed slightly, but the corners of his mouth curled up.

Wanting to knock the mountain to shake the tiger, wanting to kill the chicken to scare the monkey?

I haven't even done such things, yet you all started it first.

Keeping these few hundred Myriad Phenomena Sect people now is like planting a nail in Di Wuqi's eye and a thorn in his flesh.

He'll have plenty to worry about in the future, and it will save him from being full and bored enough to come and play mind games with me.

"Hmph!"

Luo Chen snorted coldly and didn't go anywhere else, sitting cross-legged on the spot.

While meditating to recover his state,

he projected his spiritual sense to investigate the spirit vein situation of Iron Green Mountain.

Five days later.

Outside Iron Green Mountain, streaks of light radiating powerful spiritual power fluctuations came from all directions!

The Myriad Phenomena Sect members, who had already prepared in the mountain, looked up.

They saw those figures heading straight for the mountaintop.

The eldest disciple, Zong Jiulang, saw his expression gradually become extremely colorful.

"Heavenly Blade Sect's Master Song Mi!"

"Ailao Mountain's Elder Fei Ming!"

"Ice Fortress's Fairy Jueqing!"

"Five Elements Divine Sect's Jin Buque!"

"Heavenly Garment Workshop's newly promoted Jin Dan Master Chen Xiuli!"

"The Alliance Leader has such great face, actually inviting so many powerhouses at once. If you add the five masters of the Luo Tian Alliance already here, that's ten Jin Dan powerhouses gathered!"

Zong Jiulang was quite knowledgeable.

He identified all the Jin Dan masters who had arrived.

And the other Myriad Phenomena Sect cultivators, even if their knowledge wasn't great, recognized one or two.

Successive exclamations echoed in the mountain.

Suddenly, a gentle voice came down.

"All cultivators, leave Iron Green Mountain, board the Red Flame Dragon Boat, and follow the orders of Elder Fu Jiusheng!"

It was the voice of the Alliance Leader, Luo Chen.

Zong Jiulang trembled and hurriedly called the Myriad Phenomena disciples to board the Red Flame Dragon Boat hovering outside the mountain.

Just as they got on, before they could even stand firm, they saw Fu Jiusheng walk out of the cabin.

"Everyone, in groups of nine, enter the designated formation eyes and inject spiritual power."

Zong Jiulang nodded hurriedly.

He had already been informed of the plan by Luo Chen; they were about to implement the Luo Tian Alliance's mountain-moving plan.

They needed these low-level disciples to contribute.

After everyone was ready,

Fu Jiusheng took a deep breath, looking at the peak of the high mountain shrouded in clouds and mist in the distance with excitement.

"Supreme Elder, everything is ready, we can start at any time!"

On the mountaintop,

Luo Chen looked at the friends he had invited and smiled.

"Next, I will have to trouble you all."

Jin Buque laughed heartily, "No trouble, I used to do this kind of thing often."

Fairy Jueqing nodded, a hint of eagerness in her eyes.

She also wanted to try how to move a mountain; perhaps the Ice Fortress would need this method in the future.

Song Mi pursed his lips, "Speaking of which, in the Jade Cauldron Domain, the Sword Sect also started moving mountains a year ago, moving the Incense Valley directly under the Jade Emperor Mountain. I didn't expect you, Dan Chenzi, to have such great ambition!"

Luo Chen shook his head, "It's just patching things up; if we can't take down a large Tier 3 spirit vein, we can only take shortcuts."

After speaking, he looked solemnly at Fei Ming.

"Fellow Daoist Fei, I will have to trouble you to protect the Iron Green Mountain earth vein later, so that the energy flow doesn't shift and the feng shui doesn't change."

Fei Ming waved his hand, "Just protecting the earth vein, I understand!"

With that, there were no worries.

Luo Chen scanned Di Wuqi, Jiang Yu, and Cen Qiusheng, who were ready to go.

The first two had slight changes in their expressions; they didn't expect Luo Chen to be able to invite so many powerhouses of the same rank at once.

Even the weakest newly promoted Jin Dan female cultivator, while seemingly silent, wore a gorgeous palace dress that was undoubtedly a magic treasure-level garment.

Just her outward appearance was so wealthy, who knew how many means she possessed!

The little tricks they had played earlier seemed truly laughable at this moment.

Cen Qiusheng didn't have so many thoughts; in his view, Luo Chen had a great reputation, and as long as they established a foundation, even if he died of old age, the Cen family would be treated well.

At the very least, it wouldn't be worse than the Qinhua River Li family that had attached itself to the Luo Tian Sect back then!

"Start!"

Luo Chen said leisurely.

Everyone nodded at him and then flew to their respective positions according to the plan.

Except for Fei Ming, who stayed on the mountain,

including Luo Chen, everyone left Iron Green Mountain.

Time passed slowly.

Suddenly!

A loud shout was heard.

"Rise!"

Then everyone echoed.

"Rise!" "Rise!" "Rise!"

Eight surging beams of spiritual power shot straight a thousand zhang deep into the ground.

Fei Ming, in the center, slapped Iron Green Mountain with one palm.

Earth-yellow spiritual power surged madly from his palm, gradually covering the entire mountain.

Not only that,

on the Red Flame Dragon Boat, Fu Jiusheng pinched seals with both hands.

Huge spirit energy chains extended from the dragon boat, nine in total, embedding themselves tightly into Iron Green Mountain.

"Set sail!"

With his loud shout, the Red Flame Dragon Boat shook and then began to fly slowly.

When the Red Flame Dragon Boat started,

everything within ten thousand miles of Iron Green Mountain began to tremble.

It was like an earth dragon rolling, or the ocean roaring.

*Rum-rum-rum! *

The mountain, it flew!

The opening war was now in full swing.

Led by the Falling Cloud Sect, with large Jin Dan sects as the main force, supplemented by many first- and second-rate small forces.

Among them, there was no lack of loose cultivators.

Or rather, in this war to open up the Howling Moon Mountain Range, the strength of loose cultivators might not be great, but their numbers were definitely not inferior to those large sects.

They had no fixed targets.

They just gathered in groups of three or five and rushed to the places where sects and demon beasts were fighting.

They certainly didn't dare to loot a burning house.

But joining forces to kill a few demon beasts was enough to eat their fill.

If they were lucky and picked up a leak to kill one or two demon beasts higher than their own realm, the resources they got would be enough to benefit them infinitely.

Therefore,

the loose cultivators flying out of Broken Moon Immortal City every day to rush to various battlefields were endless.

This day,

hundreds of loose cultivators rushing to Seven Kings Mountain stopped in their tracks.

Everyone looked up, watching the sky above with horror and awe.

That massive shadow looked like a whale swimming across the sky!

No!

How could a whale be compared to such a sight?

It blocked the sky and the sun, and no light could be seen.

When that behemoth flew by slowly, it was simply like night falling!

Moving a mountain!

Someone was moving a mountain!

All the loose cultivators were in an uproar.

"Is this the legendary immortal means of moving mountains and filling seas?"

"I thought that was an exaggeration in the classics; I didn't expect someone in reality could actually do it."

"What's difficult about that? Haven't you seen a Jin Dan cultivator destroy a mountain with a wave of their hand?"

"Destroying a mountain is easy, moving a mountain is hard; don't show off your shallow knowledge here."

"Uh..."

"That must be the cultivators of the Luo Tian Alliance!"

"What are they doing?"

"Hiss, that spirit mountain being moved, the spiritual energy on it is so rich!"

"Could it be that they want to use the great power of cultivators to create a sect blessed land?"

"It must be. When Broken Moon Immortal City was built, Master Tian Yezi of Heavenly Sail City personally moved a solitary peak that reached into the clouds into the city!"

"Rumor has it that spirit lands are made of spirit stone ore. If you want to build a sect blessed land, just dig up more spirit stone ore; why go to such trouble and move the mountain away?"

"You are truly ignorant! If it were that simple, those large sects would bury tens of millions of spirit stones in their bases; would the spirit vein grade rise just like that?"

"Uh... Fellow Daoist, what is your high opinion?"

"I heard that heaven gives birth to all things, and all things have spirit! Even mountains and rivers that seem like dead objects have spiritual energy. Their mountain trends, feng shui patterns, and even the trees and rocks on them are part of their body. If you destroy these, you might increase the spiritual energy concentration slightly, but it's impossible to raise the grade. Only by moving it completely can you ensure the grade doesn't drop."

"Too profound, can you explain it more simply, Fellow Daoist?"

"For example, a spirit land is a person. Spirit stone ore is the heart; can you dig out a heart and raise a person? No! Only by moving the whole body can it continue to breathe, swallow heaven and earth spiritual energy, and build a blessed land."

"So that's it!"

"I have learned something!"

"No wonder so many Jin Dan cultivators have to act together; each of them has the strength to destroy mountains and break peaks, but now, joining forces, they are moving this giant mountain so carefully just to ensure the integrity of the spirit vein!"

The discussion like ocean waves below fell into the ears of Luo Chen and the others without any concealment.

Everyone was not surprised at all.

Before moving the mountain, Luo Chen had already told them all the secrets and essentials.

This was also the reward for inviting them to act!

Whether it was the Ice Fortress, the Heavenly Blade Sect, or the Chen family of the Heavenly Garment Workshop, they all had needs in this regard in the future.

Jin Buque, representing the Five Elements Divine Sect, and Fei Ming of Ailao Mountain were not rare.

They had similar secret techniques within their sects.

Therefore, the Luo Tian Alliance gave each of them one million spirit stones as a reward.

Just by paying some spiritual power, they could get such a huge reward; who wouldn't be willing?

As for Luo Chen borrowing their signboard to dispel the thoughts of some petty people, no one cared.

Time passed slowly.

They were getting closer and closer to their destination.

Finally, ten days later,

the massive Iron Green Mountain, under the gaze of countless people, sat down with a rumble to the east of Snow Wolf Terrace.

When the high mountain settled, earth-shaking cheers erupted.

But high-level cultivators knew that this matter was far from over.

The Red Flame Dragon Boat set sail again!

All ten Jin Dan cultivators boarded the boat.

The dragon boat flew quickly toward Dream-Return Ridge.

After arriving at Dream-Return Ridge,

the same operation and the same steps began again.

However, unlike Iron Green Mountain, which was one with the mountain trend, Dream-Return Ridge was more troublesome.

Although the spirit vein grade here was also Tier 3, the scale was too small and the trend was too scattered.

Therefore, this time, the preparation work alone took a full three days.

Three days later,

following Luo Chen's order, the thousand-mile-long Dream-Return Ridge was lifted with a rumble.

Leaving only the bare rock surface on the earth.

*Boom! *

A deafening giant sound rang out, and the mighty air wave pushed in all directions.

Dream-Return Ridge, with Lost Dream Mountain as the main body, settled to the west of Snow Wolf Terrace from then on.

In this way, Snow Wolf Terrace was in the north, Lost Dream Mountain in the west, and Iron Green Mountain in the east, forming a feng shui pattern of sitting in the north and facing the south.

Iron Green Mountain served as a barrier, blocking unknown enemies from the direction of the Great Snow Mountain.

A piece of open space was left in the middle, seemingly imitating the style of the Flame Alliance and Green Pill Valley of leaving a valley within the sect.

At this step, the pattern seemed to be set.

Chen Xiuli walked to Luo Chen's side with envy.

"Congratulations, Fellow Daoist, the foundation is established, the blessed land is in hand, and from now on, you can truly be called a founder of a sect!"

Her envy was justified.

The Chen family had earned a lot of spirit stones by relying on the Heavenly Garment Workshop and the magic garment business.

But after supporting her to the Jin Dan stage, they could no longer afford to continue.

Even now, the Chen family didn't have a Tier 3 spirit land, and she herself could only rely on connections and huge spirit stones to rent a Tier 3 cave dwelling in an immortal city to cultivate.

But such man-made spirit lands could not compare to the naturally generated Tier 3 spirit vein of the Luo Tian Alliance.

Luo Chen exhaled a turbid breath and said modestly: "The terrestrial Qi of this spirit vein has not yet merged. To truly build a Tier 3 mid-grade or even high-grade spirit land, it will take at least a hundred years. It's far from being a blessed land."

Chen Xiuli pursed her rosy lips, her eyes still full of envy.

Although the blessed land hadn't been fully achieved, there was hope, right?

She also wanted to imitate Luo Chen's actions.

But that was just thinking about it!

Who else had Luo Chen's appeal to build an alliance force not weaker than a large Jin Dan sect in a short time?

Who else had Luo Chen's ambition to move mountains and build a sect if one place didn't work, forcibly creating a blessed land?

As for taking the Chen family to participate in the opening war?

She herself didn't have the guts.

Don't you see the He family's lesson, almost wiped out at Dream-Return Ridge.

And there was the Myriad Phenomena Sect, whose strength was already quite impressive, yet two Jin Dan masters of the sect fell at Iron Green Mountain.

If it weren't for the Luo Tian Alliance's help, the Myriad Phenomena Sect's inheritance would probably have been broken.

Luo Chen chatted with them while watching the actions of Fu Jiusheng, Fei Ming, and others.

They were running between the three mountains, occasionally burying formation disks and spirit stones.

Building the "Dragon-Trapping Great Formation" that Luo Chen needed.

This formation was also exchanged from Meng Changshou of the Medicine King Sect.

Its main function was to lock in spiritual energy so it wouldn't leak out.

With this formation, they could trap the spirit vein, stabilize the blessed land grade, and over time, as long as they didn't over-extract, they could even continuously raise the upper limit.

Cultivators practicing inside would be like a trapped dragon rising to the sky, seeing the bright moon, and the Great Dao would be promising!

To build this formation, Luo Chen and even Di Wuqi and the others had emptied their savings, investing millions of spirit stones in total!

It could even be said that they would have to continue investing spirit stones in the future.

After chatting for a while, Luo Chen couldn't help it either.

His hands were itching!

He said to Jin Buque, Song Mi, and others: "Everyone, choose a place to rest for a while; we will host a banquet tonight!"

Several people nodded with a smile.

Moving mountains these past few days had truly exhausted them.

Resting now was quite good.

However, watching Luo Chen join the ranks of Fu Jiusheng, Fei Ming, and others in setting up the formation, they couldn't help but be curious.

"Does Dan Chenzi also know formations?"

The person asked was naturally Fairy Jueqing, who had the closest relationship with him.

Under everyone's gaze, Fairy Jueqing also said blankly: "Perhaps he has dabbled in it!"
