"That beast was incredibly fast; it probably took this old servant's intervention to subdue it. Before, it and the young master..."
Uncle Chen paused abruptly at this point, then changed the subject and continued:
"We have searched this Boundless Wilderness for a long time and wiped out many of that fellow's followers. It seems that no matter how powerful it is, it cannot summon a beast tide."
"This old servant has also used his True Spirit to search the spiritual veins below; that beast must have been here. As long as this old servant releases his True Spirit and searches inch by inch, it will have nowhere to escape, no matter where it goes!"
"This old servant also sent out communication jade tokens beforehand. The various sects and clans must know Silk about that beast. As soon as they send their messages, this old servant will arrive in an instant and completely annihilate him!"
" Uncle Chen is truly farsighted. If those sects and clans don't behave themselves... then we'll wipe them all out!"
Hearing from behind that Uncle Chen had a foolproof plan, the young master breathed a slight sigh of relief.
But his anger had nowhere to go, and when he spoke of "annihilating those sects and clans that didn't behave," his words carried a nonchalant tone.
It's as if the lives of those cultivators and the ferocious beasts beneath them are things that can be slaughtered at will.
Upon hearing this, Uncle Chen, who was perched in front, frowned slightly. He could naturally sense the coldness in the young master's words.
But because of his different status, he only frowned slightly.
In his heart, perhaps he was just like that young master who regarded human life as worthless; the cultivators and ferocious beasts in this Boundless Wilderness seemed to be no different.
After destroying a spiritual vein, the bronze greatsword turned around in an instant in the Boundless Wilderness.
A streak of light suddenly shot out from within a cloud of smoke, and with a casual wave of his hand, the old man caused the thin streak of light to vanish into the sky in an instant.
The old man released his immense True Spirit, which searched the land, his seemingly open yet closed gaze fixed on the distance.
Even though they were separated by countless miles, he seemed to still see some tassels fluttering in the air...
As the blur before his eyes gradually faded, Xu Long felt that the intense spatial energy fluctuations from before had subsided.
As a ray of light appeared overhead, Yun Peng beside him suddenly unleashed an overwhelming aura.
He looked up at the sky, his throat bobbing, his eyes filled with disdain.
The instant the transmission ended, as if he couldn't contain himself, he let out a long howl towards the sliver of light overhead:
"Imperial Edict!"
The moment the word left his mouth, the Magic Power in his throat was instantly transformed into rolling sound waves, which surged outwards into the sky in a very short time.
Xu Long, who was standing to the side, could even feel the oppressive aura emanating from the rolling sound waves.
After a long howl, a sliver of light was instantly pierced through the overhead beams.
The sound wave from just now had almost materialized, and it had not completely dissipated when it appeared on the array base.
"Who dares to act recklessly within the Jade Screen Sect School!"
" Yun Peng? Yun Peng is back!"
"Ah! It's Yun Peng who's back!"
"No wonder Senior Brother Yun Kun went out before; he must have gone to inform him. This guy is definitely back to select core disciples!"
"Right! Senior Brother Yun Kun didn't return with them; he must have stayed behind to guard the dojo for him. Hmm? Who are those two people?"
"That guy always cares about making a scene, how could he let someone else be teleported back to the sect with him..."
Yun Peng let out a long roar, and the rolling sound waves shook all the cultivators outside the array base.
When these stationed cultivators heard the sound waves, they were still scolding who was so bold as to stir up Magic Power sound waves within the Jade Screen Sect School, and whether they were not afraid of being suppressed.
But when they realized it was Yun Peng returning to the sect, the cultivators stationed outside the array were all startled.
They remembered his previous temper and knew perfectly well that he had deliberately let out a long howl to spread the news of his return to the sect.
At this moment, a long howl suddenly attracted the attention of many cultivators.
A sonic wave from the Mystic Immortal cultivator emanated from within the formation, traveling to great distances without weakening in the slightest.
As the rolling sound waves reached the Jade Screen Sect School, a figure perched on the mountain peak suddenly opened its eyes.
A bolt of lightning seemed to flash within those black pupils, darting out in an instant as the eyes opened and closed.
The lightning bolt pierced through numerous obstacles, reaching directly onto the array base protecting the dojo.
It's Yun Peng, he's back!
Yun Peng's long roar was destined to stir up waves within the Jade Screen Sect School. He seemed to be born to be the protagonist, destined to attract everyone's attention.
After revealing itself atop the array base, it surveyed the surrounding scenery with a disdainful gaze.
When everyone inside and outside the arena was swept by their gazes, no one dared to speak. The aura of the Mystic Immortal cultivators reached its peak at this moment.
Yun Peng laughed loudly twice, then waved his sleeve, and a blue mist rose instantly from beneath his feet, disappearing in the blink of an eye.
At this moment, everyone was still in shock from that long howl and that disdainful gaze.
Xu Long and Yun Ya naturally became background figures for Yun Peng. They were like air from beginning to end, and no one paid any special attention to them.
After Yun Peng's figure disappeared, Xu Long and Yun Ya quickly stepped off the array base, because the transmission array within the Jade Screen Sect School was also very busy.
If they don't leave quickly, they will definitely be driven away by the stationed cultivators. They don't have the same aura that Yun Peng has to intimidate everyone.
After descending from the array base, Xu Long began to survey the Jade Screen Sect School, which was known as a blessed land.
When they were transported here, they only landed in a temple guarded by a wall.
Looking out from the mountaintop, the protective barrier of the temple stretched across the land, lying prostrate like a rolling earth dragon.
The undulating mountain range stretched from our feet to the horizon, with only one mountain peak after another visible in the distance.
Below the mountain peaks, there are many winding rivers, which resemble a jade belt, encircling the various mountain peaks.
Then, they separated into finer strands and connected them completely.
One mountain range after another rises abruptly from the ground, and as clouds and mist blow in continuously, they leave thick fog on the mountain peaks.
The fierce hurricanes blew the clouds and mist day and night, and occasionally, huge banners could be seen on some of the mountain peaks that had been split open by the hurricanes.
Those are array flags standing atop the protective dojos, used to guide the spiritual veins within the blessed lands, ensuring the defensive array operates continuously for thousands of years.
"Our Jade Screen Sect School has a total of 36 protective dojos, all of which were personally established by our patriarchs and their disciples throughout the ages. Among them are 24 medium-sized spiritual veins and 12 small spiritual veins. It is precisely because of these spiritual veins that the sect's blessed lands have been able to remain safe and sound for thousands of years without collapsing!"
Xu Long looked at the undulating mountains, with Yun Ya acting as his narrator beside him.
This is indeed one of the three major sects in the Daning Commandery Kingdom, far superior to the Pinglu Daoist Sanctuary.
The area surrounding the temple is already vast, and since the sect was founded, it has developed into thirty-six mature spiritual veins.
These have all been transformed into protective dojos outside the blessed lands, making it a civilized place where no ferocious beasts dare to run rampant.
Those guarding the temple stretched all the way to the horizon, like a vast, boundless city.
Standing tall amidst the Boundless Wilderness, it firmly protects this blessed land.
The protective dojo contains several teleportation arrays, all of which can be opened to cultivators or sects from the outside world.
Within it are countless shops and markets, where countless cultivation resources converge and countless Spirit Stone stones accumulate.
The Jade Screen Sect School's protective training ground is like an enlarged version of the Pinglu Daoist Sanctuary.
It embraced countless cultivators with its enormous body, and nurtured their civilization with its output!
Seeing the countless heads thronging the mountain peaks, Xu Long knew that this place guarding the Daoist temple was a gathering place for a massive amount of resources.
"It's said that there are three major forces in the Daning Commandery Kingdom: Luo River Valley excels in alchemy, Immortal Rosy Cloud Ridge excels in beast taming, and what does our Jade Screen Sect excel at? In my opinion, our Jade Screen Sect School excels at acquiring complete resources."
"Junior brother, look how many cultivators are stationed inside the protective dojo? These cultivators come from all over the land, carrying the spiritual essence of heaven and earth from the Boundless Wilderness, the opportunities on their cultivation path, and even their own lives, all seeking protection within my Jade Screen Sect School."
"After they settle in the dojo, they still have to pass through layers of examinations before they can officially join the sect. Before that, they just serve as figures of interest within the dojo..."
"Some cultivators, having grown old, settled here, forming Daoist partnerships with other cultivators and establishing their own families. Their descendants then consider it an honor to enter the Jade Screen Sect School."
"These people guarding the Daoist temple are numerous cultivators, and even more people engaged in various livelihoods. But they have never entered the blessed land, and their lives are forever like dust, destined to vanish with the wind sooner or later."
"Only the disciples within the blessed lands are true disciples of the Jade Screen Sect School. This vast protective dojo is also guarded by true Jade Screen disciples!"
After Yun Ya gave a detailed introduction, Xu Long was even more surprised by the Jade Screen Sect School's training ground.
Unexpectedly, there are so many independent cultivators within the Gongwei Daochang (a sacred site for guarding the Daoist temple). However, most of them do not have the opportunity to enter the blessed lands and can only live their entire lives within the Gongwei Daochang.
Among them are also mortal heirs, and it is because of their offspring that the popularity of the Jade Screen Sect School has remained high.
The area surrounding the temple is incredibly spacious, and it sells everything imaginable.
Whether it's resources from various states or the elusive essence of heaven and earth.
As long as there are enough Spirit Stone stones, they can be found here.
It is precisely because of the prosperity and popularity of these dojos that the idea of integrating resources came about.
So it seems the Jade Screen Sect School really can't do without these cultivators from all over the country...
After observing the protective dojo, Yun Ya beckoned Xu Long to prepare to enter the blessed land.
The surrounding protective dojos are always lacking in spiritual energy; only within the blessed lands and grotto-heavens can cultivators truly cultivate.
Xu Long and Yun Ya walked side by side, transforming into two streaks of light as they disappeared into the distance.
From afar, one could see a scene of utter silence within the main branch of the Daoist temple, a place guarded by the disciples of the Jade Screen Sect School.
The rest of the place was like the mundane world, bustling with human activity.
The scenery below kept receding in my eyes, with endless vegetation surrounding the temple and rows of buildings built on the mountainside.
Pavilions, terraces, rockeries, and ponds adorn the hillsides, with exquisite buildings and figures moving about among them.
But below the mountainside beyond the clouds and mist, the world becomes a completely ordinary place.
The world below the mountain is even more vast. The Jade Screen Sect School has been established here for thousands of years, and some people have already settled in its outer dojos.
After the ferocious beast tribes Extremis, some areas became even more densely populated.
Mortal heirs naturally cannot fly through the clouds or travel to the heavens, so cultivators will not have any interaction with mortal heirs when they are cultivating on the mountaintop.
The winding river flows at the foot of the mountains, and along its banks, ordinary cities have sprung up one after another.
There lived countless ordinary people there, and with the protection of the temple, these ordinary people were able to continue their lineage generation after generation.
It was thanks to these densely populated areas that new cultivators were able to continuously establish their own sects within these blessed lands.
They are like two railway tracks that occasionally intersect, constantly interdependent in the cycle of Heavenly Dao.
As Xu Long and Yun Ya transformed into streaks of light and swept over the heads of the mortal heir, they resembled Kami beings descending from the heavens.
However, due to the thick clouds and fog, the mortal heirs below could not see the cultivators flying in the sky.
After crossing the protective temple, there is a dense forest beyond a mountain range. The deeper you go, the thicker the mist and fog become.
Golden light shone in Xu Long, and he saw mountain peaks amidst the thick clouds and mist.
Those mountains have stood in the sky for countless years, shrouded in clouds and mist year-round, their secrets hidden from ordinary people.
When Xu Long approached, he sensed a rather dense spiritual energy within.
This is probably the blessed land of the Jade Screen Sect School.
"Below these mountains lies the Thousand Miasma Forest, and above them stretches the Beyond the Cloudy Heavens. The Jade Screen Sect, nestled deep within the white clouds, is the very paradise of my sect located Beyond the Cloudy Heavens..."
Yun Ya explained to Xu Long again outside the mountain gate that the blessed land he mentioned was the true place for cultivators to practice.
Standing outside the blessed land for a long time, Xu Long carefully examined the world before his eyes.
This blessed land seemed to have been created naturally, nestled atop a Thousand Miasma Forest.
Towering vegetation stretches out at the foot of the mountain, its green foliage extending to the horizon.
Above the mountains, a misty cloud swirls year-round, its ethereal aura reflected in the distance.
The appearance of the Jade Screen Sect truly lives up to its reputation as a blessed land.
After the explanation, Yun Ya accompanied him into the blessed land.
As he traveled through the thick clouds, Xu Long couldn't help but take another look at the towering mountains.
In his eyes, wisps of clouds swept by, and soaring Luan Crane circled beneath the golden wheel.
Occasionally, a hurricane would sweep by, causing the clouds above the mountains to part and a golden light to burst forth from within.
It turned out that the mountain peaks were topped with bright golden roofs, the jade-built golden roofs shining brightly under the blazing sun.
They stand atop the mountains, shrouded in mist year-round, making them appear like a secluded paradise.
