Deep within the Great Xuan Mountain Range, atop a verdant peak.
The peak was steep and towering, piercing the clouds. Mist coiled around its summit, and the Origin Energy was so abundant it had nearly condensed into tangible spiritual fog. The Saint Children of the Cang Xuan Sect who had arrived earlier had already claimed this place as a temporary base. Simple yet elegant bamboo lodges had been built along the mountainside, scattered in an orderly fashion.
When Mo Lin, Zhou Tai, Lü Yan, and the other later-arriving disciples safely passed through the violent Origin Energy Gale Layer under the guidance and protection of Chu Qing, Li Qingchan, and the other Saint Children, finally setting foot on the flat ground at the summit, the previously quiet green peak immediately became bustling and lively.
"We finally made it!"
"The Origin Energy here... is far too dense! It's several times stronger than outside!"
"Look! That's Senior Brother Chu Qing! Senior Sister Li Qingchan! And Senior Brother Ye Ge, Senior Brother Kong Sheng... All the Saint Children are here!"
The disciples excitedly looked around, feeling the pure Origin Energy that made every pore open. Their faces were filled with excitement and anticipation. Reaching the core region of the Great Xuan Mountain Range was itself proof of strength and an immense opportunity.
At the center of the summit, several powerful auras rose into the air. Amid flickering light and shadow, the figures of Chu Qing, Li Qingchan, Ye Ge, Kong Sheng, and several other Saint Children clearly appeared.
Their auras were deep and unfathomable, their Origin Energy vast and surging. Like pillars holding the sea steady, they calmed every disciple's heart.
"Greetings, Saint Children!" Led by Zhou Tai, Lü Yan, and the chief disciples of the various peaks, all the disciples bowed in unison.
