Qin Yan's steps paused slightly before Mystic Peak. His gaze swept over the flowing Array Patterns and the outline of the mountain before he stopped hesitating and strode forward.
The purple Holy Son Token at his waist lit up on its own with a soft violet glow the instant he approached Mystic Peak. That glow probed into the Array Patterns on the mountain's surface.
The next moment, the tightly interwoven Array Patterns parted to either side, forming a light-made gateway over ten feet tall before Qin Yan. Fine ripples of energy flowed around its edges.
Qin Yan took a step, and his figure vanished through the gateway into Mystic Peak.
After he entered, the gateway silently contracted and returned to normal like ripples closing over water. The Array Patterns resumed their original arrangement and flow, as though that passage had never existed.
Mystic Peak's surface returned to its former tranquil, ancient appearance, clearly separating everything within from the outside world.
The moment Qin Yan stepped into the mountain gate area of Mystic Peak, he saw a familiar figure standing not far ahead.
Dean Liu Changfeng stood with his hands behind his back at the start of a bluestone path, as though he had been waiting there for quite some time.
When he saw Qin Yan enter, Liu Changfeng gave a slight nod and said simply, "Qin Yan, let's go. Come with me to see the Holy Lord."
Qin Yan nodded at his words. Without asking further questions, he quickly followed Liu Changfeng, and the two headed up the mountain path of Mystic Peak, one after the other.
The path up Mystic Peak was not particularly wide, yet it possessed a quiet, ancient charm of its own.
The higher they climbed, the denser the spiritual energy of heaven and earth
