Second Brother Immortal Master! [Seeking Recommendation Tickets!]

"Central Plains."

"I must go see it if I ever get the chance."

Meng Nan stood atop Bi Luo Peak, his eyes piercing through the mountain mists to gaze upon the elite soldiers and generals in the three great camps below. He felt a surge of longing.

Compared to the Southern Border.

The atmosphere of cultivation in the Central Plains was much richer.

In the past, Chashan had no more than thirty Qi Condensation Immortal Masters in total, and its so-called 'Five Ancestors of Chashan' were merely peak Qi Condensation cultivators.

Yet, the Star Picking Sect, in its first wave of developing the Southern Border, had dispatched over a hundred Qi Condensation Immortal Masters, thirty of whom were peak Qi Condensation cultivators comparable to the 'Five Ancestors of Chashan'.

There was simply no comparison.

In the thirty mountain territories of the Southern Border's northwest, a considerable portion of rogue cultivators like Meng Nan had chosen to join the Star Picking Sect. Half of them sought the sect's profound arts and secret transmissions, while the other half hoped for a chance to receive guidance from its old ancestors.

Ultimately, it was all for cultivation.

The Star Picking Sect was well aware of this. Therefore, they didn't engage with these individuals emotionally, but instead used benefits to entice them, keeping them hooked and temporarily under their employ.

However, setting aside the Star Picking Sect for now.

As things stood, the thought of gaining benefits and advantages from the Star Picking Sect had to be put aside for the moment. The immediate priority was to resolve the issue of that red-robed general.

"Sigh!"

"Looks like I need to call for backup again!"

Meng Nan truly didn't want to, but he had no choice.

He patted the Storage Bag at his waist, and Crane Talismans flew out one by one. The cranes flapped their wings, flying out of Cang Mountain and heading in various directions.

Southwestern Dragon Ridge Mountain Territory.

More than ten years ago, several Immortal Masters arrived in the Thousand Lock River Mirror Mountain Basin of Dragon Ridge Mountain. They dispelled the poisonous miasma by the river, cleared out venomous insects, subdued the surrounding Yao, and established a large city to house the local tribespeople.

Over ten years passed.

This city had gradually become prosperous, with more and more tribespeople migrating to it. Now, the city had a population of eight hundred thousand.

Because the Thousand Lock River had reversed its flow into this area, forming Mirror Marsh Lake, the city was built beside Mirror Marsh Lake. Thus, it was named 'Guangjiang Pass'!

The Immortal Masters of Mirror Mountain were unknown by name. Everyone only knew that the leader's surname was Meng, and his friends called him 'Second Brother'. Therefore, the people of Guangjiang Pass affectionately referred to this Immortal Master as 'Second Brother Immortal Master', and every household worshipped him.

On this day.

Mirror Mountain.

'Second Brother Immortal Master' Meng Jian was cultivating in his cave dwelling.

Suddenly, a paper crane fluttered into the cave.

"Cang Mountain!"

After reading the message, Meng Jian stood up. With a wave of his sleeve, he dispersed the cave dwelling's formations and went straight out. Mid-way, he sent out several streaks of spiritual light.

Before long.

Several clusters of mist and gusts of demonic wind swept over, landing before him and transforming into two pairs of couples and four mighty generals.

These eight individuals--

The first four were all Qi Condensation Immortal Masters and close friends of Meng Jian. One pair was named Tao She and Jiang Li, and the other pair was named Qi Jia and Xie Ze. The people of Guangjiang Pass called them the 'Four Immortals of Mirror Mountain'.

The four mighty generals were great Yao from the Southern Border. After Meng Jian ascended to Immortal Master, he traveled extensively and made friends regardless of their status. The White Snake, Goat, Wild Boar, and Water Buffalo, these four great Yao, were subdued by him and willingly followed him. They were known as the 'Four Monsters of Mirror Mountain', and all possessed Qi Condensation strength.

Four Immortals.

Four Monsters.

Coupled with Meng Jian, the 'Second Brother Immortal Master', Guangjiang Pass was able to establish a city in the Dragon Ridge Mountain territory to defend against Yao and Mo.

Even now, with the Star Picking Sect arriving to govern the mountain territory, Guangjiang Pass remained a force not to be underestimated. Although it was within the Dragon Ridge Mountain Territory, it possessed strong autonomy.

At this moment--

"Second Brother."

"Second Brother."

The Four Immortals and Four Monsters arrived, looking at Meng Jian, unsure why they had been summoned.

"Did some blind fool come to Guangjiang Pass to cause trouble? Where are they? Let this old pig beat them till they run with their tails between their legs!"

Zhu Zhen, a great Yao who had attained the Dao and transformed from a Wild Boar, one of the Four Monsters, brandished the pig-headed rake in his hand, his fat head and big ears adorned with a fierce expression.

"Brother Zhu, no need to rush. Guangjiang Pass is safe."

Meng Jian said to everyone, "My father is in trouble in Cang Mountain to the southeast and has summoned me for aid. However, my strength alone is insufficient. This trip will require the assistance of Brother Tao and Fellow Daoist Jiang. Brother Jin and Brother Chang, please accompany me as well."

"Alright."

The two Immortals and two Monsters all agreed.

On the side.

Zhu Zhen was displeased and couldn't help but grin, "Second Brother, do you look down on old Zhu?"

"How could I!"

Meng Jian shook his head, "It's just that if we all leave, what will happen if Guangjiang Pass is in trouble?"

As he spoke, he cupped his hands towards Qi Jia and Xie Ze, the couple among the Four Immortals, and Yang Xian, the "Goat" among the Four Monsters. "After I leave, I'll have to trouble the four of you to look after Guangjiang Pass."

"We watched Guangjiang Pass being built, so we will naturally do our best," Qi Jia said slowly with a chuckle.

Xie Ze, heroic and decisive, suggested to Meng Jian, "My husband and I are enough to hold off Guangjiang Pass for a while. Since the situation at Cang Mountain is not good, Second Brother might as well bring Brother Zhu and Brother Yang along with you for complete safety."

"Yes, yes!"

"Take old Zhu with you, and I'll beat up any demons or monsters that show up!" Zhu Zhen really wanted to go.

"Then I'll have to trouble Fellow Daoist Xie and Brother Qi." Meng Jian wasn't one to dawdle.

He immediately left Qi and Xie of the Four Immortals to guard Guangjiang Pass, while Meng Jian, along with the Tao Jiang couple and the Four Monsters of Mirror Mountain, left Mirror Mountain.

Light clouds, swift demonic winds.

Heading straight for Cang Mountain!

To the north.

Blood Lotus Mountain Territory.

In the center was a 'Fish Dragon Mountain', where He Weiyang cultivated.

On this day.

He Weiyang was receiving his close friend, the Qi Refining Immortal Master 'Cao Baoju' from Star Mountain.

There was a significant age gap between them, but they hit it off. They had adventured together in the depths of the Southern Border for decades and were inseparable.

"My lifespan is nearing its end, and my Magical Power will be useless if I keep it. If you have any disciples with potential, you can call them over, and I'll help them out once." Cao Baoju was nearly three hundred years old and didn't have much time left. He had lived a solitary life, with no children and never having taken any disciples. Rather than waste his Magical Power, he'd rather help his friend's disciples seize an opportunity. Although the 'Dan Yuan Wandering Veins' was a lesser method, if successful, it would still make one a Qi Refining Immortal Master. With future opportunities, it might not be impossible to glimpse the path to immortality.

"Alas!" He Weiyang looked at his friend and couldn't help but sigh. Cultivation was not easy. In the end, it was all for naught. Today, Cao Baoju was no different from his own tomorrow.

He Weiyang shook his head, about to say something else.

At that moment, a spiritual light streaked down from the heavens and landed in He Weiyang's hand.

"Cang Mountain." He Weiyang's eyes moved, and he looked at his friend, "There's no rush for disciples for now. Brother Cao, would you be willing to accompany me to Cang Mountain in the southeast of the Dragon Ridge Mountain Territory?"

"Is there a fight?" Cao Baoju asked.

"It's likely unavoidable," He Weiyang nodded.

"Then what are we waiting for!"

"Let's go, let's go!" Cao Baoju laughed heartily, stirring up a gust of sword energy out of thin air, and swept himself into the sky.

He Weiyang also smiled. He rolled up his wide sleeves and soared upwards, heading towards Cang Mountain with Cao Baoju.

Not just Guangjiang Pass.

Not just Fish Dragon Mountain.

In the Dragon Ridge Mountain Territory, within Qing Le Mountain.

A large camp.

Lü Shiwu suddenly stood up with his sword, blew out a breath, and clouds immediately gathered. He then rode the clouds away.
