Good. Rise.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was pleased with the disciples’ manners.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Today, I shall lead you to the Cuiping Mountain Secret Realm to participate in the Dao-Xuan Alliance’s trial!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Do you all have your Life-Death Tokens?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If anyone lacks one, speak up now!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xuan Yang scanned the crowd.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Life-Death Token was the white jade tablet He Pingsheng held—when shattered, it instantly formed a array to teleport the disciple out of the secret realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Good. Since you all have them, I’ll repeat: once activated, this token will extract you from the secret realm. Once you leave, you forfeit all right to further exploration.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Also, there is a three-breath delay after activation.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Use it with the utmost caution!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes!” The crowd bowed and replied: “Thank you, Elder, for the warning!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Enough!” Xuan Yang swept his wide sleeves. “Come, follow me!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In his hand, Xuan Yang suddenly produced a flying vessel no larger than a palm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under his magic power, it instantly expanded into a massive blue-green ship, a hundred zhang long.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the ship’s hull, over a dozen array light membranes flickered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xuan Yang stepped first onto the prow: “Board!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The disciples climbed aboard one by one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though the ship was large, it hovered only a few zhang above the ground, so even disciples like He Pingsheng, whose cultivation was only Qi Refining Seventh Layer, could leap aboard easily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once aboard, He Pingsheng noticed the railings held one hundred and eight slots.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Each slot held a spirit stone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One hundred and eight in total.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These one hundred and eight spirit stones served as the flying vessel’s power source.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, the array light membranes drew energy from other sources as well—what exactly, He Pingsheng could not tell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All had boarded the immortal vessel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Jin Dan elder stroked his whiskers and asked: “Are all present?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A young cultivator stepped forward: “Report, Elder: All from Yun Peak are aboard!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another said: “Lotus Peak disciples have boarded!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Morning Glow Peak is assembled!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Dusk Fall Peak is assembled!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Heavenly Unity Peak is assembled!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Pine Ridge Peak is assembled!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Graceful Bamboo Peak is assembled!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Jade Dragon Peak is assembled!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Gathering Crane Peak is assembled!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Goddess Peak is assembled!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All disciples of the Grand Void Gate’s Ten Peaks were now assembled!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Good!” Inner Affairs Elder Xuan Yang nodded. “Let us go…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The hundred-zhang flying vessel slowly rose, turned its prow southeastward, and glided through the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps due to the sheer number of passengers—or perhaps other reasons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Regardless, though large, the vessel flew very low.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It hovered barely above the mountain peaks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Above, the sky remained blue, clouds still drifted high.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The vessel’s speed increased, and the white clouds overhead and the mountains below receded faster and faster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under the clear sky, sunlight bathed the peaks in emerald green, with patches of white scattered through—the exposed giant rocks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A fine sight!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not long after, on the right side of the mountain range ahead, dark clouds gathered thickly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Between the ink-black clouds, lightning crackled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then came a torrential downpour, drenching that stretch of sky and earth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But He Pingsheng’s vessel passed unaffected, skimming along the edge of the massive storm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few breaths later, the clouds thinned, the wind calmed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The dark clouds drifted far to the rear, shrinking to a dot, then vanished behind the retreating layers of peaks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sky ahead cleared once more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After half a day’s flight, He Pingsheng saw another long, towering mountain range.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The vessel could fly only along the range’s right flank, its altitude still less than half the mountains’ height.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then the crowd beheld a magnificent spectacle: snowflakes swirling through a sky choked with black clouds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This is Ice Pole Mountain—the highest range in the entire Dao-Xuan Alliance territory!” chuckled the Jin Dan elder, stroking his whiskers. “Though it’s frozen and snow-covered, there’s a vast sect atop it: the Ice Pole Immortal Sect.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“And the spiritual energy there is extraordinarily dense!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At Xuan Yang’s words, everyone was stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A sect existed atop such a colossal mountain?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the elder so amiable, a disciple dared to ask: “Elder Xuan Yang, why does our vessel fly so low—lower than a paper crane?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At once, all turned to stare at the bold disciple.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Others looked curiously at the elder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The elder merely smiled. “I’d love to fly higher, but carrying so many of you strains the vessel—I can only fly low.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hahaha…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The elder himself laughed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The disciples joined in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only then did they realize Elder Xuan Yang had a pleasant disposition.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He Pingsheng noticed the vessel flew not only low but also slow—slower than a paper crane.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet its advantage was the defensive light membrane shielding its exterior, protecting against attacks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After two days of flying aboard the immortal vessel, it finally arrived above a mountain range of modest height.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The vessel landed on a vast square.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He Pingsheng looked up and saw the square packed with people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All wore Daoist robes of varying colors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clearly, many other sects of the Dao-Xuan Alliance had arrived.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knew the Alliance contained over twenty major sects.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beyond them, over a hundred cultivation families.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Altogether, more than a hundred factions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Each trial drew nearly ten thousand disciples.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The vessel landed; disciples disembarked in order, taking up a corner of the square to rest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elder Xuan Yang mingled with elders from other sects, exchanging boasts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He Pingsheng’s gaze, however, turned to the square’s rear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There stood a massive array, guarded by eighteen cultivators clad in golden Daoist robes at its entrance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clearly, this was the entrance to the secret realm.\u003C\u002Fp>",1096,"2026-06-21T04:08:57.694Z",1,"Qwen3-Next
