Alerting the Sacred Land

After a long, long time, Nan Feng snapped back to reality. She slowly opened her eyes, her beautiful gaze filled with complex emotions.

Just from listening to Senior Li play one song, her understanding of the zither had already soared!

She even felt that reaching the Void Integration Stage, and even the Mahayana Realm, was within reach.

Li Fan's song had completely enlightened her. In fact, fragments of the laws that only appeared in the Mahayana Realm had already begun to manifest within her body.

This was truly a great opportunity!

Her respect for Li Fan was now absolute. What kind of being was he? Not only was he unrivaled in painting, but his attainments in the zither were also profoundly high...

Looking across the entire Three Absolutes Sect, no one could possibly compare to this senior.

Even when she listened to the residual zither music left behind by the Three Absolutes Immortal in the past, she had only gained some insights. It was nothing like this direct, profound enlightenment that broadened her horizons.

"How is it? Now, are you willing to take me as your Master?" Li Fan asked with a smile.

When it came to the zither, he had been tormented by the System countless times. He was confident that even in the entire Southern Region, he had nothing to fear from anyone.

Nan Feng no longer hesitated. She immediately knelt down and said, "Disciple Nan Feng greets Master!"

Seeing this, Ziling was overjoyed. This way, the two of them wouldn't have to be separated.

She also immediately knelt down and said, "Disciple Ziling greets Master!"

Li Fan smiled. He had finally completed the System's mission.

He was one step closer to becoming a cultivator.

"No need for formalities, rise."

He paused and said:

"You two shall stay here for now."

Fortunately, this small courtyard had been built according to the System's requirements, so it was spacious enough.

The two nodded repeatedly.

Night soon deepened.

Li Fan sat in the small courtyard, gazing at the starry sky.

He truly didn't know when he would be able to become a cultivator.

He sighed softly. Perhaps he was destined to be an ordinary person?

"Meow meow~~~"

As if sensing Li Fan's changing emotions, Little White in his arms purred softly and, in its sleep, licked Li Fan's hand.

"What a lazy cat."

Li Fan couldn't help but smile. However, the cat's appearance was getting better and better, its fur becoming more lustrous. It seemed he was pretty good at raising cats...

Meanwhile.

Taiyan Holy Land.

The Taiyan Holy Palace was brightly lit today!

Outside the Holy Palace, several cultivators of the Mahayana Stage stood guard around the ancient palace.

From afar, a mysterious light barrier enveloped the entire sky above Taiyan Holy Land. This was a sign that Taiyan Holy Land had activated its defensive formation!

--Taiyan Holy Land, one of the two great Sacred Lands of the Southern Region, resided high above the clouds and had always been unchallenged!

Since its establishment as a Sacred Land, the defensive formation had only been activated a handful of times.

Yet now, without any external enemies attacking, Taiyan Holy Land was on high alert as if facing a great enemy!

Inside the bronze ancient palace.

Elder after elder sat opposite each other, their auras incredibly formidable.

Even Supreme Beings as powerful as Luoming and Hong Xuan could only sit in the middle ranks.

Everyone present today was a Supreme Being!

A total of eight people, eight great Supreme Beings!

Four from Taiyan Holy Land and four from Ziyang Holy Land.

It could be said that both major sects had brought out their full reserves.

Seated on the left was an elder in purple robes. He had a ruddy complexion, and his white hair exuded an immortal demeanor. He was the Holy Master of Ziyang Holy Land, Yuanyang Supreme!

Opposite him sat an old man in a black Daoist robe. The robe was embroidered with a celestial map of the Zhou Tian stars in gold thread. His aura was deep and steady, and his face was thin.

This elder was none other than the Holy Master of Taiyan Holy Land, Lingchao Supreme!

Even the Holy Masters had appeared!

At this moment, the atmosphere in the ancient palace was extremely tense.

"Now that the Holy Land's formation has been activated, it can conceal the vital energy of this place. Even the Evil God will not be able to sense it. You can now open that Dao diagram."

Lingchao Supreme Being looked at Luoming and Hong Xuan.

The six Supreme Beings, excluding the two, all had their gazes fixed on them.

Everyone's expression was extremely solemn, their eyes filled with curiosity and anticipation.

What kind of Dao Diagram was it that required the Holy Land's great formation to protect it?

Generally speaking, unless it involved major opportunities and karma that would attract the covetous gaze of powerful existences, such strict precautions would not be necessary.

Luoming and Hong Xuan exchanged a glance, both rising solemnly.

--They had flown at full speed from the outskirts of the Cangli Mountain Range, not daring to stop for a moment, for fear of attracting the attention of the Evil God and other existences.

At their level, they were already very clear that some things, once born into this world, would cause drastic changes.

Especially that Dao Diagram bestowed by Senior Li!

In Senior Li's courtyard, when Senior Li was present, no one could or dared to covet it, but it was different once they left.

Therefore, even after reaching the Holy Land, they did not dare to take it out. They strongly requested the Holy Lord to appear and activate the Holy Land's great formation.

"This diagram concerns the Cangli Mountain Range!"

Luoming took out a scroll from his sleeve, his gaze extremely solemn, and said, "It depicts the grand situation of the Cangli Mountain Range and traces the path to becoming an immortal!"

After speaking, he loosened his grip, and the scroll instantly unfurled!

Instantly, all eyes focused on the painting.

At this moment, in the great hall, everyone's face suddenly showed an expression of extreme shock!

The great hall was silent as a tomb!

The Holy Lords of Taiyan Holy Land and Ziyang Holy Land couldn't help but stand up directly, staring intently at the painting, unable to utter a single word!

It was dead silent!

Everyone was dumbfounded!

Until a long, long time later...

"This painting depicts the terrain of the Cangli Mountain Range, so clearly, so intuitively, so concisely... I suddenly understand, I understand why the Cangli Mountain Range is a forbidden area!"

"Indeed, looking at this painting, the Cangli Mountain Range is simply a grand formation for becoming an immortal! Mountains converging to form a Dragon, what a grand undertaking, what a grand undertaking!"

"No wonder even Supreme Beings entering it face a nine-tenths chance of death. Such terrain can lead to becoming an immortal, but it can also kill immortals!"

For a time, countless Supreme Beings spoke one after another!

They were extremely solemn; this painting had directly surpassed their imaginations!

And the Holy Lord of Taiyan Holy Land, Yuanyang Supreme, took a deep breath and suddenly waved his hand, shouting towards the outside of the great hall, "Activate the mountain protection formation fully, fully!"

The great formation activated fully!

Everyone's expression changed.

The current Taiyan Holy Land formation had only activated its defensive parts, which was already extraordinary. Now, it was to be activated fully?

How important could this painting be?

Could it be that even the defensive part of the Holy Land's great formation could not hide the great opportunity and karma within?

"The great formation should be activated fully. This diagram is too important. It is highly likely to involve an ancient secret!"

"It concerns the immortal path and the safety of the Profound Heaven Realm!"

Lingchao Supreme Being's expression was also extremely solemn!

Hearing this evaluation, everyone was even more shocked.

This was too terrifying, wasn't it?

Following Yuanyang Supreme's words, the Taiyan Holy Land formation was activated fully, and an inexplicable aura filled the air!

Inside the hall.

"With this Dao Diagram, the secrets hidden in the Cangli Mountain Range for countless epochs finally have hope of being revealed..."

Yuanyang Supreme Being's eyes were filled with unprecedented solemnity. He looked at Hong Xuan Supreme Being and said, "Hong Xuan, where did this diagram come from?!"

Everyone was also extremely focused on this answer!
