Protagonist:
Xu Zhangqing
Either posing as a Loose Cultivator, going door-to-door to sell rare spiritual plants at low prices.
Or actively joining during recruitment, at an extremely low cost.
One or two might be a coincidence, but once the numbers grow, something is wrong.
It seems the forces of the Nine-Headed Insect and the Wu Sheng Chong Mu are preparing to return to Dongyu.
Lingqu Sect is merely one of their targets.
If not suppressed as soon as possible, more sects and clans will likely fall victim to their poisonous hands.
Xu Zhangqing naturally would not conceal such a matter; he not only had those who had cooperated with Lingqu Sect increase their vigilance, but also notified the Immortal Sect of the news.
After arranging everything, Xu Zhangqing went to the back mountain.
At this time, Nu Tu had already completed the survey of the entire valley's spiritual veins, drawing array pattern blueprints on the ground that matched the terrain.
On the blueprint, the twin cliffs at the Valley Entrance were marked as array nodes.
Along the banks of Qingxi, every three zhang there was a water plant array eye; the thousand-year-old trees on the green mountains on both sides were connected by red lines, forming a wood-element spiritual vein network.
The Chansi Mistong Array at the Valley Entrance needed to be bound with thorn root systems, nourished by the earth qi of the cliff walls.
The Water Curtain World Barrier of Qingxi needed to connect with the pebbles at the stream bed, using the pebbles as the array base to fix the flow of spiritual energy.
The ancient tree array eyes needed to have Spirit-Gathering Jade embedded in the tree trunks, ensuring the Teleportation Array linked with the grand array.
If the grand array was broken, the Teleportation Array could be activated by borrowing the power of the spiritual veins.
Every design closely followed the terrain of Qingxi Valley, striving to maximize natural advantages and array power.
Xu Zhangqing also specifically instructed Nu Tu to set up warning arrays in the distance of Qingxi Valley; once someone approached, the sect would receive an alarm.
Three days later, all the spiritual materials needed for the array were fully prepared.
Nu Tu took the lead, using the Spatial Earth Origin Fruit as the core to set up the Teleportation Array in the Secret Chamber.
She embedded the Spatial Earth Origin Fruit into the center of the pre-dug Earthen Platform, guiding earth qi to slowly inject into it; only to see the spatial fluctuations of the Earth Origin Fruit grow increasingly intense, the golden light and shadow inside flowing rapidly, the array patterns around the Earthen Platform lighting up, emitting yellow spiritual light.
As time passed, the Teleportation Array gradually took shape.
At the same time, Xu Zhangqing led the sect members, setting up the grand array according to the blueprints drawn by Nu Tu.
At the Valley Entrance, everyone embedded Netherworld Stones into the cliff crevices, connecting them with the root systems of thorn vines, drawing earth qi to activate the Chansi Mistong Array.
After a moment, the thorn vines became even denser, faintly merging with the mountains and forests; if one did not know the location of the Valley Entrance, it would be impossible to discern.
Next, Spirit-Gathering Jade was buried at the stream bed; the jade pieces lit up upon entering the water, the stream's spiritual energy boiled instantly, with a faint blue water curtain flowing underwater.
Then on the green mountains on both sides, the disciples climbed the ancient trees, embedding array nails forged from Thousand-Year Black Iron into the tree trunks, then watering them with spring water; the ancient trees immediately glowed with green spiritual light.
Hidden throughout the valley were trigger-type arrays, all connected to Qingxi, the ancient trees, and the spirit vines, forming a defense network with no blind spots.
The entire setup process took a full seven days; when the last array nail was embedded into the ancient tree, spiritual light flowed throughout the valley, the water level of Qingxi rose slightly, the branches and leaves of the ancient trees swayed gently, the spirit vines quietly contracted, and the grand array was fully formed.
Looking from outside the valley, only endless green mountains and dense jungles remained; even the sound of the flowing stream was hidden by the array, perfectly blending into nature.
After the array was set up, Nu Tu spent another three days adjusting the spatial coordinates of the Teleportation Array, ensuring the destination was precise and correct.
When the Teleportation Array was activated, the array patterns lit up with golden light, and the fluctuations emitted by the Spatial Earth Origin Fruit enveloped the entire Secret Chamber, forming a stable Space Passage.
At the other end of the passage was exactly the Outer Perimeter outpost of Dongting Immortal Sect.
Xu Zhangqing personally tested it; the round trip was smooth and unobstructed.
The defense system of Lingqu Sect was now perfected; Xu Zhangqing then summoned the members to explain the activation method of the array and the emergency evacuation routes.
At the same time, sect patrols were strengthened, strictly forbidding strangers from entering Qingxi Valley.
However, after doing all this, his vigilance toward the Nine-Headed Insect and the Wu Sheng Chong Mu did not decrease in the slightest; he secretly instructed Xu Qiansui to continue investigating the traces of Spirit Insect Cultivators.
Once there was news, report immediately.
……
……
The scene shifted; above Black Wind Ridge at the border between Dongyu and the Central Region, a huge flying ship was speeding across the sky.
On the Ship Deck, a flag embroidered with the two characters "Dongting" fluttered.
And this was exactly the team arranged by Dongting Immortal Sect for Experience Training and escort in the Central Region.
Xu Ping'an was among them, wearing a moon-white Daoist Robe that made his posture straight and tall.
His face was handsome, but carried a steady temperament not belonging to his age.
"About to enter the Central Region!"
"I heard this is the frontline where Human Cultivators and demons fight?"
"But right now, we haven't seen any demons at all?"
Besides Xu Ping'an, several young disciples had also come along.
At this time, everyone curiously looked around, especially at Black Wind Ridge below.
Black Wind Ridge had treacherous terrain, thin spiritual energy, and piercing black winds blowing all year round.
Sand and gravel were mixed in the wind, striking the body with faint pain.
Seeing such a harsh environment, one knew there must be danger.
The person leading this trip, if Xu Zhangqing saw him, would definitely recognize him at a glance.
This person was one of the Four Little Geniuses from back then, Jian Hanxin.
Since Blue Sky was gone, Huo Wan had become withdrawn; only he and Shi Potian were developing well.
Especially Jian Hanxin, relying on his extraordinarily high comprehension, especially his Sword Path talent.
Now past fifty years of age, he has already reached Earth Grade Golden Core Late Stage cultivation, which counts as extremely powerful.
At this moment, Jian Hanxin glanced at Xu Ping'an and the others, opening his mouth to remind them: "Five-hundred-year, even thousand-year Great Demons often appear here.
Cultivators traveling alone in the past would extremely easily encounter danger."
The words had just fallen when intense sounds of fighting and cultivators' screams came from ahead.
Mixed in were Great Demons' roars, with extremely strong penetrating power, making listeners' eardrums throb.
Someone cried out in alarm: "There are cultivators encountering Great Demon attacks up ahead!"
Jian Hanxin raised an eyebrow: "I'll go take a look; if they are fellow cultivators, I'll lend a hand."
Xu Ping'an hesitated a moment, then said: "Senior Uncle Jian, I'll accompany you."
Jian Hanxin originally wanted to refuse, but on second thought, this person was originally a Five Elements Spiritual Root genius the Immortal Sect spared no effort to cultivate, and he also possessed Golden Core cultivation.
And moreover, it was not a Qin Hua Golden Core, nor an Earth Grade Golden Core, but the legendary Heaven-grade Golden Core.
With such talent, aptitude, and strength, if it was merely Great Demon level, there was truly no need to worry.
Moreover, letting the disciples see the world a bit was also extremely good.
After all, the reason for coming to the Central Region, wasn't it for this?
Therefore, facing Xu Ping'an and the other few people following, Jian Hanxin did not refuse.
The group flew swiftly toward the direction the fighting sounds came from, and soon arrived at a valley.
Inside the valley dust flew, Spiritual Power surged chaotically.
Only to see eight cultivators besieged by a group of monsters, among them one Great Demon.
The besieging monsters, roughly thirty, were all Black Wind Wolves unique to Black Wind Ridge.
Each one massive in body type, fur pitch-black like ink.
From their mouths they could spray black wind blades, and incomparably sharp.
The leader among them was a Black Wind Wolf King, emitting a powerful aura.
Currently it appears to possess at least thousand-year Dao Xing, strength not to be underestimated.
Right now, this Black Wind Wolf King is fiercely attacking a young female cultivator.
The remaining seven cultivators are each entangled by several Black Wind Wolves, too busy with themselves, powerless to provide support.
This female cultivator wore a pink dress, looked about twenty years old, face delicate and cute, skin fair, between her brows revealing a trace of liveliness.
Her whole person was like a peach blossom just blooming in the mountains, youthful and beautiful.
A pity, the female cultivator was already injured, left arm bleeding nonstop, breath growing increasingly disordered.
Seeing this scene, Xu Ping'an couldn't help but let out a stern shout: "Beast, courting death!"
