Ning Country is adjacent to the ocean, has a long coastline, and its terrain is mostly hilly with few steep, unique peaks.
As the flying boat gradually entered the territory of Ning Country, the disciples on board looked down at the rather flat land below and all showed expressions of surprise.
The duel between the three factions and True Person Xu was to take place at a place called Fallen Star Reef, located by the sea.
Legend has it that a thousand years ago, countless meteorites fell from the sky, some large and some small, landing in the Spirit Gauze Sea and on some of the land bordering the ocean.
This area is a unique reef region formed by a meteorite impacting the coastline.
These rocks are harder than iron and retain traces of celestial power, making them an excellent place for Law Power battles.
The airship slowly descended, passing through a thin layer of clouds, and the view below gradually became clearer.
In the azure ocean, a vast expanse of dark blue reefs and mudflats stretched into the sea, shimmering with a cold, hard, iron-blue hue—truly a masterpiece of nature.
At the end of this rocky beach that stretches into the ocean, there is a huge, deep pit when viewed from above.
The banks around the deep pit have been leveled by human hands, and cultivators dressed in different colored robes are arranging spiritual materials in all directions, as if they are about to erect a large array.
Further away, the salty sea breeze, carrying its distinctive pungent smell, swept over us, a stark contrast to the freshness of the inland mountains and forests.
The waves crashed against the outer reefs, splashing up white spray and making a thunderous roar, adding a touch of solemnity out of nowhere.
That's Fallen Star Reef.
Fu Qianlan pointed downwards and said.
The airship gradually descended, and Wei Zheng was the first to disembark. After looking around, he couldn't help but click his tongue in amazement:
"Wow, this place looks amazing! It's way more impressive than any of our sect's training grounds!"
He was a belligerent person, and stepping into such a place instantly stirred up a fighting spirit within him.
Ta-da.
True Person Mei slowly walked down from behind.
This True Person looked to be around twenty years old, dressed in a plain blue robe with a plum blossom on it, standing proudly in the snow. He had long, black hair that reached his waist, with an ancient jade hairpin inserted diagonally in his hair. His expression was aloof, but his magnificent Divine Ability powers shone brightly in the sky.
Once a cultivator has achieved the Golden Core stage, unless they have some peculiar quirks, their appearance will remain relatively youthful for a long time, and their temperament will become more stable, making them less susceptible to external influences.
Chen Shuangbai and the others, adhering strictly to the etiquette of disciples, let True Person Mei walk ahead before daring to follow behind.
On the eastern side, on a rocky viewing platform, most of the cultivators were dressed in crimson or bright yellow robes, their auras blazing with masculine energy; they must be disciples of Blazing Sun Mountain.
On the west side of the viewing platform, the cultivators were dressed mainly in dark blue and dark green, and their aura was long and moist. Many of them had a faint mist of water around them, so they were naturally members of the Azure Wave Cave.
This sect also specializes in water magic, and their techniques bear some resemblance to those of the Jade Spring Sect.
As for the north stand, it seemed to have the largest number of people, and their clothing was the most chaotic. Many cultivators had various kinds of Demon Beast squatting or lying beside them, and some were even shrouded in faint phantoms of beast souls, with a faint aura of Sha Qi intent. They were undoubtedly cultivators from the Spirit Taming Valley.
The arrival of a Golden Core True Person naturally attracted attention.
Chen Shuangbai and the others only felt a blur before their eyes, and when they came to their senses, they saw a middle-aged Daoist priest with a thin face, dressed in a simple linen robe, standing in front of them.
The Daoist priest raised his hand in a Daoist bow, a smile on his face, and spoke in a very kind tone, "Fellow Daoist Mei has come from afar; I apologize for not greeting you properly."
True Person Mei returned the greeting and said calmly, "This is an agreement between Fellow Daoist Xu and my sect. I have come specifically to observe the ceremony; I apologize for the intrusion."
"Your presence is an honor to my humble abode; there is no need for such disturbance."
True Person Xu's smile became more sincere as he led True Person Mei to the main seat.
Chen Shuangbai and the others followed behind.
Although True Person Xu appeared kind and approachable, the disciples dared not offend him and instead bowed respectfully to True Person.
The two True Person headed towards the high platform, where quite a few people had already gathered.
Aside from Luo Tang, the True Person Xu dao companion of Master Xu whom Chen Shuangbai saw at the Abyss Suppression Hall that day, she also saw Zhang Xian, the upper cultivator.
The other person also noticed Chen Shuangbai, and couldn't help but raise an eyebrow slightly, looking quite surprised.
Chen Shuangbai stepped forward to greet him.
Zhang Xian returned the greeting, and couldn't help but sigh, "The last time I met you, you were still Qi Refining Stage cultivator, but now... you've already reached the Foundation Establishment."
" The Jade Spring Sect truly lives up to its reputation as the number one sect in the Jing Kingdom; it is indeed full of talented individuals."
He felt a mix of emotions.
Zhang Xian's cultivation method is a Secret Method that allows him to vaguely detect the difference between his own and the opponent's cultivation level.
However, it failed to work on Chen Shuangbai, which shows that this disciple of the Jade Spring Sect has surpassed me in cultivation in just a few years.
As they were talking, something else fell from the sky.
It was not a flying boat, but a flying beast with wingspans exceeding tens of feet, an extremely large body, and a layer of black scales covering its body.
It was not empty on its back, but rather carrying an exquisite and elegant pavilion with flying eaves and brackets, its design was exquisite and clearly not an ordinary object.
"It's the Dragon-Riding Pavilion of the Profound Firmament Sect!"
Beside Chen Shuangbai, a knowledgeable disciple of the Jade Spring Sect exclaimed in a low voice.
Chen Shuangbai wasn't particularly interested in the pavilion; what interested him more was the flying beast covered in scales.
This flying beast doesn't look like a bird-like Demon Beast; rather, it seems to be a hybrid of some Demon Beast bloodlines, and it also has some resemblance to a dragon.
Wei Zheng looked at the flying beast and clicked his tongue in amazement, "It truly is a fight to the death. If that old Black Flood Dragon saw this flying tower, it probably wouldn't be able to resist sending a claw strike right up."
Chen Shuangbai roughly understood after hearing this.
Within the territory of the Zhao Kingdom, the Profound Firmament Sect and the Black River Water Manor have long been locked in a standoff. Although this Dragon Pavilion does not appear to be an extremely precious mount, its name and the flying beast that carries it reveal its true value.
The Profound Firmament Sect is extremely difficult to manage regarding the Black River Water Manor.
The flying beast descended slowly, its wings flapping to create gusts of wind, and soon several figures emerged from it.
The first person was a middle-aged Daoist priest dressed in a purple-gold robe. He had a handsome face, three long wisps of beard, and held a jade-handled whisk. His body was also shimmering with iridescent light, symbolizing the Golden Core stage. He was clearly Golden Core cultivator from the Profound Firmament Sect on this trip.
Behind him followed several Foundation Establishment cultivators, each with an extraordinary air about them. One of them made Chen Shuangbai raise an eyebrow slightly.
It was Zhao Shiyong, whom Chen Shuangbai had previously dealt with at Phoenix Howling Ford.
Moreover, judging from the current state of this Profound Firmament Sect, who is full of energy and spirit, he has clearly succeeded in Foundation Establishment!
" Profound Firmament Sect the True Person Yuchen has arrived!"
A Foundation Establishment from the Profound Firmament Sect who was accompanying them announced the news in a clear and melodious voice, which spread far and wide.
