They had originally planned to endure the humiliation and leave the formation base, but unexpectedly Yun Peng asked them to stay.
This was truly a dramatic turn of events; life's encounters are like a rollercoaster ride, causing Senior Brother Yun Ya's emotions to fluctuate constantly.
He, who had been timid and ashamed just moments before, suddenly became lively again.
He tugged at Xu Long's sleeve and shook it repeatedly, his chubby face full of smugness.
The arrogance in his eyes was almost palpable, and his entire being seemed to proclaim:
You're so important to your senior brother, aren't you? Hurry up and praise me!
Xu Long gave him a look of utmost admiration, then turned around with Yun Ya.
As soon as he turned around, a gaze as sharp as lightning shot towards him.
The air in the arena suddenly felt ignited with a burning heat, and an intimidating aura descended instantly.
Xu Long's eyes narrowed suddenly, his black pupils like two deep vortexes, taking in all the incoming lightning.
His deep pupils seemed to lead to the void beyond the realm, their depths unfathomable as they spun.
After Xu Long took a step forward, the power that had accompanied the lightning bolt dissipated as if ice and snow were melting away.
The Yun Peng cultivator opposite him frowned slightly, but then relaxed his expression instantly.
Looking at Xu Long, who stood firmly on the sidelines, the corners of his mouth gradually curled up, and he thought to himself:
It really was him!
As a Mystic Immortal cultivator who has been guarding the Boundless Wilderness for a long time, he naturally has a very close connection with a behemoth like the Pinglu Daoist Sanctuary.
Previously, Xu Long had gained fame from the True Lord within the Pinglu Daoist Sanctuary. Perhaps the sect had not yet received definite news, but Yun Peng, as the guardian, had his own channels.
Upon hearing the name " Yunmo," he was immediately intrigued and then proceeded to test Xu Long in the arena.
Seeing that the man had thwarted his technique in an instant, Yun Peng was certain that this person was the real " Yunmo "!
The cultivator stationed on the array base glanced at the arrogant Yun Peng. Even though he harbored a thousand resentments in his heart, he dared not show them in front of Yun Peng.
Yun Ya, on the other hand, thought that Yun Peng was mindful of his status as an inspector cultivator, and now he was returning the mockery that the garrison cultivator had shown him earlier tenfold.
So that you, the garrisoned cultivator, may know that Senior Brother Yun Ya's name has already spread throughout the Boundless Wilderness.
Don't even mention a Heavenly Immortal cultivator like you; even the Heavenly Immortal guarding the Daoist temples have to treat me, a true immortal, with utmost respect!
Seeing the Yun Ya trembling in front of the stationed cultivators, the cultivators below felt a surge of pleasure.
The more mocking Yun Ya's eyes were, the happier everyone felt, having just been bullied by the stationed cultivators.
Yun Peng kept the two men behind only to test Xu Long. After seeing Yun Ya acting like a bully, he wasn't angry at all.
He had guarded the Daoist temple in the Boundless Wilderness for hundreds of years. Although he was always arrogant and superior to others, he was still extremely interested in cultivators who were truly capable of fighting.
This Yunmo was actually praised by the True Lord, so he must have something extraordinary about him.
The purpose of returning to the sect this time was to select core disciples, and this person appeared on the transmission array.
Could it be that he also changed his mind because of the selection process for core disciples?
The idea of selecting core disciples suddenly popped into Yun Peng's mind again.
Looking at Xu Long, who exuded an extraordinary aura, a cryptic smile appeared in his eyes.
With this guy involved, will some people be eliminated?
Haha, things seem to be getting interesting.
As the three of them stood within the transmission array, the guards on the outer perimeter finally activated the array.
A powerful energy suddenly surged from the octagonal base, and the mysterious runes that had been drawn on lit up one after another.
The aura of countless years ago surged forth once more, and the energy belonging to the primordial era flowed upon it anew.
The array flags and magic arrays outside the octagon trembled continuously. After the array was activated, the vast energy circulated on these array flags before finally being transmitted to the array base.
Although the Jade Screen Sect School explored some stable coordinates, the formation was ultimately a remnant from the ancient times.
To truly restore it is a pipe dream; we can only barely keep it running with these flags.
The array flags and magic pestles also need to be changed frequently to ensure they are closely integrated with the stable coordinates.
On the base of the array, Xu Long held an ancient jade tablet in his hand, on which some spatial energy flowed.
A significant portion of the energy generated by the octagonal array flags and the vajra was also injected into this jade tablet.
The array runes engraved on the jade tablet also correspond to the array flags and magic pestles.
The octagonal teleportation array can transmit to eight different locations at once, so these ancient jade tablets must be the stable coordinates.
Without these jade tablets, the transmission would be shrouded in chaos, and the sender might not even know where the destination would be.
Xu Long held the jade token and thought to himself: The key to this transmission array is still the stable coordinates, no wonder it doesn't need to be set up in the main vein for strict defense.
Even if it's occupied, without stable coordinates, it's just a useless formation.
After figuring out these stable coordinates, the cultivators of the Jade Screen Sect School established and operated numerous Mystic Immortal Daoist Sanctuary in the Boundless Wilderness, relying on these transmission arrays.
Seeing the massive array base tremble slightly, Xu Long could already sense the intense fluctuations in spatial energy.
The energy flowing within those mysterious runes seemed to be communicating with the Heaven Beyond Heaven, seeking to combine its own energy with that of the Heaven Beyond Heaven.
Then, break the rules of this world, crush the Reincarnation Temple of Heavenly Dao of this world, and thus achieve the purpose of spatial transfer in an instant.
After a tremor, the energy flowing on the array base had reached its peak.
Xu Long's vision gradually blurred, and he could now feel that energy from Heaven Beyond Heaven surging towards him.
These mysterious runes are triggering some profound law, making this world unable to stop them.
Even if the Origin Will were here, it could only watch helplessly as that Power of Laws emerged.
With the emergence of Law of Space, there were extremely strong spatial energy fluctuations in the field.
The mysterious runes had all been lit up, and they moved around the octagonal base like shooting stars.
As the mysterious runes rotated, the Law of Space also descended from the Heaven Beyond Heaven.
Although it was an ancient and decaying Power of Laws, its power, belonging to the primordial era, was fully revealed at this moment.
That is the ancient past, countless years ago; that is history that has vanished into the long river of time.
That was the breath of civilization amidst the wilderness, that was the brilliant glory of ancient times.
Even after countless years, even though the world has undergone tremendous changes.
Even their Heaven Realm was shattered, and even the Hundun Heaven Beyond Heaven was forced to close.
When the Power of Laws of our ancestors manifested, that immortal energy still crossed over from another world.
Carrying the will etched countless years ago, it still ignites sparks in this world.
These are the people who have left their mark on history; they are immortal beings!
Xu Long's heart stirred slightly. When that Power of Laws from Heaven Beyond Heaven appeared, his own Law of Slaughter also stirred a little.
Yun Ya and Yun Peng naturally had no idea what that spatial Power of Laws represented.
However, after Xu Long engraved the inscription in the Heaven Beyond Heaven, he had seen the independent laws of a group of predecessors.
Could that Power of Laws still remain in the present?
When the Primordial Great Tribulation arrived, were they truly all destroyed?
With various thoughts swirling in his mind, Xu Long suppressed the Law of Slaughter stirring within him.
As the energy within the formation was activated, his vision blurred for a moment, as if he were immersed in the void.
As the faint trace of willpower reached out to explore, the blur before his eyes completely turned into darkness.
Xu Long was startled and immediately withdrew his will. Having had a previous experience with teleportation, he dared not explore the unfamiliar space at will.
Inside, Yun Ya and Yun Peng looked extremely cautious.
Although this transmission array has stable coordinates, it is, after all, an ancient artifact that has been left over for many years.
If one moves around recklessly and causes any unforeseen events, even with stable coordinates, it will be difficult to return to the sect.
During the transmission, all three remained silent, enveloped in darkness. It felt as if a long time had passed, yet also as if only a moment had elapsed.
When that familiar spatial energy fluctuation reappeared, Xu Long's previous darkness returned to its blurry state.
As he was about to enter the blessed land, Yun Peng looked up at the sky in a blur, his gaze filled with an air of domineering arrogance.
Throughout the Boundless Wilderness, figures were bustling about in the Xuanxian Mystic Immortal Daoist Sanctuary set up by the Jade Screen Sect School.
Within various Mystic Immortal Daoist Sanctuary and blessed lands, auras—some cold, some sinister, and some violent—manifested on certain figures.
All parties involved have made final preparations for the selection of sect members, and they are determined to secure a spot as a core disciple!
The strange phenomena in the Vast Sea had already become known to some sects. When the Jade Screen Sect School reacted hastily, it had already begun to recall some truly powerful Mystic Immortal cultivators.
This selection of core disciples within the Jade Screen Sect School is a gamble with the fate of the next thousand years.
When the strange phenomena appeared in the Vast Sea, the patriarchs of various families truly saw some clues about them.
The commotion caused by this matter must not be known to the people of the Saint Daoist Sanctuary, as it concerns the future of all sects; success or failure hinges on this!
However, while the Jade Screen Sect School was recalling the Mystic Immortal cultivators, deep within the Boundless Wilderness, two figures were slowly exploring the traces of the ferocious beast clan.
They were now deep within the Boundless Wilderness, nestled between the waist and abdomen of a pack of ferocious beasts, where danger was fraught with peril.
But the two remained completely calm, their eyes indifferent as they watched the ferocious beasts scatter in fright at their feet.
Beneath them lay a massive bronze sword, which, as it traversed the Boundless Wilderness, resembled a warship, shattering anything in its path.
The bronze greatsword was heavy, but it moved at an extremely fast speed.
With an aura of creation that seemed to Boundless Wilderness, they moved through the vast wilderness as if it were an uninhabited land, showing no restraint whatsoever.
A man stood atop the bronze giant sword for a long time, looking at the trench carved out by the sword beneath him, and a hint of impatience gradually appeared in his eyes.
At the very front of the giant sword, an old man was resting with his eyes closed.
Without him giving any command, the stream of light in front of him was propelled into the air and slashed fiercely at the area where the ferocious beasts had gathered.
boom!
A loud bang erupted in the arena.
The light danced in the air, seemingly weightless, but after gathering momentum, it fell like a meteorite.
The earth trembled violently, and billowing dust enveloped the area.
After the dust settled, countless ferocious beasts turned into blood and gore in a streak of light.
The once invincible horde of ferocious beasts perished one after another under the flowing light.
The ferocious beasts that had not yet managed to escape were also affected by the power of the flowing light.
Amidst the Sea of Blood, the giant sword in the sky once again crushed down, turning the solid ground upside down by an unstoppable Super Strength.
The scene that was just moments ago a bloody grinder was now instantly obscured.
When he finished doing everything, the old man on the giant sword paused slightly, and a wisp of light flew out from the dust that filled the sky.
After the old man opened and closed his eyes, he focused his gaze and scanned the area below where the ferocious beasts had gathered.
The area below, cleaved open by the giant sword, is a medium-sized spiritual vein, indicating the presence of at least one high-level ferocious beast within it.
But under the old man's flash of light, the high-level ferocious beast was instantly shattered before it could even utter a sound, and its inner Inner Core was also reduced to nothing.
The medium-sized spiritual veins also contain a considerable amount of spiritual essence, which has been actively cultivated by the ferocious beast clans for countless years, and its medicinal power is nearing maturity.
But beneath that streak of light, it transformed into wisps of spiritual energy and dissipated into the world.
In the blink of an Kung Fu Hustle, this land of spiritual energy was reduced to ashes, and countless ferocious beasts that had gathered there perished.
After the old man withdrew his gaze, a hint of disappointment flickered in his eyes.
Looking down at the spiritual veins destroyed by a single thought, he showed no remorse; instead, he frowned slightly.
"Young master, this old servant has thoroughly searched the spiritual veins below, but has found no trace of that beast!"
The young man behind him remained silent for a long time after hearing this, but the look in his eyes grew increasingly impatient.
Thinking that he had condescended to come to this wild and desolate land, yet still couldn't find any trace of that beast, he had been wandering aimlessly in this Boundless Wilderness for days.
Given his status, it was an insult that he had been tricked by that beast and allowed it to escape.
Every time he thought of this, Wuming would flare up in his heart, and the young man would mentally torture that beast a thousand times over.
But when he looked at the old man sitting cross-legged in front of him, he forcibly suppressed his anger.
Although the old man didn't turn around to look, he knew that the old man was feeling strange.
" Uncle Chen, we must find that beast's trail as soon as possible. Coming out this time has already gone against our senior brother's wishes. If we don't return soon, I'm afraid..."
"Young master, there's no need to worry excessively. The young master must know about your situation while he's at the academy. It's not too late for you to mend your ways; the young master will not blame you unjustly!"
" Uncle Chen, have you found any trace of this beast?"
When the young master mentioned his senior brother, he subconsciously frowned, and a figure came to mind.
His heart sank, and even his arrogant and extravagant attitude became much more restrained.
Only after hearing Uncle Chen comfort him did he let down his guard and calm his heavy heart.
