Qi Refining relies on flying Law Artifact or various flight Law Technique.
After reaching the Foundation Establishment, one can ride the light of escape; with a single thought, one can travel on the light.
But once you reach the Golden Core... it's a completely different world.
It is a more sophisticated method, almost like teleportation.
Chen Shuangbai felt that what surrounded him was not a gale, but countless fine, supple plum blossom petals of light and shadow flowing around him, lifting them up and traversing between heaven and earth in an indescribable trajectory.
The mountains and rivers beneath our feet rushed past at an astonishing speed, yet remained remarkably smooth, with almost no bumps.
Seemingly noticing the unusual expression on his face, Wei Zheng leaned forward, nudged his shoulder, and teased, "Isn't that amazing?"
" Qi Refining allows one to fly using Law Artifact, Foundation Establishment allows one to control escape light, Golden Core has the ability to Shrinking the Earth into Inches, and Nascent Soul... that's a completely different story."
"Oh? Tell me about it!"
"Shift the void!"
Have you ever heard of it?
"No, not at all..."
"That's right!"
The vast difference between the Golden Core stage and the Foundation Establishment was now glaringly obvious.
The difference between the Nascent Soul and the Golden Core stage is entirely different.
This gave Chen Shuangbai a new understanding of the Golden Core realm and even Golden Core realms, or rather... made his yearning for a higher realm even stronger.
At the same time, Chen Shuangbai couldn't help but recall when True Person Bo led them back to the sect from the Sha Province, they were also directly enveloped by his escape light... It seems that True Person Bo was somewhat more restrained back then.
The group was enveloped by True Person Mei's magical Law Power and were unaware of the passage of time in the outside world.
Chen Shuangbai could only count silently in his heart, but as he counted, he gradually became absorbed in cultivation again, and so he went with the flow.
"Almost there!"
I don't know how much time passed, but it must have been much faster than the escape light of a Foundation Establishment cultivator, when I heard True Person Mei's voice ring in my ears.
As the Golden Core Law Power around him dissipated, Chen Shuangbai's gaze was drawn to the magnificent city built against the mountain in the distance...
at this time.
As dawn broke.
Somewhere in the distant, rolling mountains, a massive city, its outline still clearly defined, gradually comes into view.
This colossal city was built against the mountain, with winding city walls and twinkling lights. From a distance, it resembled a giant beast crouching in the shadows of the mountains. Its style was different from the delicate beauty of the Twelve Jing Kingdom, instead exuding a rugged and Savage Wilderness atmosphere.
The colossal city opened its mouth wide, and countless cultivators, flying boats, flying magical Law Artifact, and various kinds of escape lights rose and fell from the city gate, appearing to be in an endless stream.
It seemed that people had been arranged to meet them at the city gate beforehand. Sensing True Person Mei's aura, several people stepped forward, adhering to the etiquette of the Jade Spring Sect disciples, and bowed deeply. " Su Lang, a disciple of Jade Spring, greets True Person! Greetings to my fellow disciples!"
The newcomer was also a Foundation Establishment.
Chen Shuangbai could roughly sense from his aura that he was in the Foundation Establishment Late Stage.
"It seems... Book Spirit said back then was indeed true... On the surface, there are only twelve Foundation Establishment, but secretly... who knows how many more Foundation Establishment have been sent out from outside the sect... It seems the sect's foundation hasn't been fully revealed yet."
He said this to himself silently.
Then, led by their fellow disciple, the group entered Jade Mountain City and were settled in a secluded and elegant courtyard.
Under Chen Shuangbai's Divine Sense, the small courtyard was filled with arrays and traces of the Jade Spring Sect, a testament to Su Lang's dedication.
Chen Shuangbai then looked at this was Martial Uncle Su.
This senior apprentice looked to be around forty years old, with a head of black hair, a calm face, sharp eyes, and an air of competence honed over a long period of time in the border town.
After the servants had all left, Su Lang waved his hand, activating the array that concealed the entire courtyard. He then took out a jet-black secret letter and presented it to True Person Mei.
" True Person, this is a secret letter sent by the Dark Crow Tribe the day before yesterday. Please take a look."
True Person Mei nodded, opened the secret letter, and after reading it quickly, the letter spontaneously combusted and was reduced to ashes.
" True Person, has something changed?"
True Person Mei nodded, then shook his head, saying, " The Dark Crow Tribe is a large tribe with a stable lineage. The great shamans of each generation are ruthless and exceptionally intelligent. How could they not keep secrets?"
"The True Person seemed worried."
True Person Mei continued, "However... it seems that the great shaman has encountered some problems, and the pressure is a bit too much."
Are you in a hurry?
Do they want us to... send over the "price" they want from the Dark Crow Tribe to exchange for that fourth-tier heavenly materials and earthly treasures as soon as possible?
Chen Shuangbai secretly speculated in her heart.
True Person Mei looked at Su Lang and asked, "Has there been any unusual activity in Jade Mountain City these past few days?"
Su Lang replied truthfully, "Reporting to the True Person, Jade Mountain City remains as usual. Occasionally, demons from the Great Li Mountain attempt to attack, but they are all stopped outside the city and killed by formations and cultivators. Everything else is the same as before, with no unusual activity whatsoever."
True Person Mei nodded.
That would be best.
But she turned and said, "Jade Mountain City is a melting pot of all sorts of people, and with so many eyes watching, the news of our arrival will probably reach the ears of the other families in the Jing Kingdom within two days. Therefore, this matter must be carried out in secrecy and must not be known to anyone."
Her gaze fell on the five people, and she gave them orders briskly.
"After a few days, when the miasma gradually dissipates and caravans can enter Great Li Mountain normally, Su Lang will arrange three caravans to provide cover for you. Shuangbai and Wei Zheng, you two will go in with Xuanzhao."
" Zisu, Yan Heng, you will stay here with me to provide support."
"Yes!"
None of them had any objections to this arrangement.
It wasn't that True Person Mei didn't want to send them all into the Great Li Mountain, but too many people would be too conspicuous... Sometimes, fewer people make things easier.
Finally, True Person Mei added, "While fourth-tier spiritual objects are valuable, your lives are even more important."
"If things are hopeless, survival is the priority; retreat immediately."
That's all.
True Person Mei said no more, and with a flicker of his body, he went into the quiet room to rest.
True Person Mei left, only Chen Shuangbai and the other four remained in the courtyard.
Ren Zisu glanced at Heiming Xuanzhao beside her, shrugged, and sighed, "What a pity... I originally thought I'd be able to go and visit the old master this time!"
Heiming Xuanzhao knew who she was referring to.
Ren Zisu chose to practice that strange Shaman Incantation for two reasons: firstly, the sect needed someone to carry on the tradition, and secondly... she had a natural and strong interest in Shaman Incantation.
She had secretly visited the Dark Crow Tribe more than once, and received personal instruction from the current high shaman of the Dark Crow Tribe, with whom she had a deep bond.
But the True Person's command cannot be disobeyed, so we had no choice but to give up.
Heiming Xuanzhao laughed wickedly and said, "Don't worry, I'll explain your 'regret' to the old man!"
"Ha ha ha ha!"
