Arrival and a Familiar Face
Inside the teleportation array in Dragon Transformation City.
With a flash of light, Li Yunjing and the other three appeared in the teleportation array.
Dragon Transformation City is the largest immortal city in Flying Immortal Prefecture, and there is a teleportation array here that leads directly to Heaven-Soaring City.
Therefore, Li Yunjing and his group came to Dragon Transformation City this time with the intention of taking this teleportation array directly to Heaven-Soaring City.
Walking on the streets of Dragon Transformation City, Fang Hexuan looked at both sides and sighed, "Come to think of it, this is the first time I've come out since I went to the Great Wilderness."
"I haven't seen such a lively scene in Dragon Transformation City for a long time. Everyone says that Heaven-Soaring City is even better than Dragon Transformation City. I wonder if the scene inside the city is as lively as it is now."
Jin Ruoxu said in a deep voice, "Senior Fang, this trip to Heaven-Soaring City probably won't be very peaceful. Both the righteous and demonic paths are eyeing the Dao Fruit, and it's possible that war will break out as soon as we reach the Central Divine Province."
"Let's start a war then." Mu You raised an eyebrow. "Are the people of my Luozhen Sect afraid of the demonic path?"
Li Yunjing walked at the front and, upon hearing this, calmly said, "The most important thing on this trip is to reach Heaven-Soaring City first and clarify the situation, such as when the Dao Fruit will appear, where it will be, and what the Immortal Alliance's plans are. We don't know these things yet, so don't act impulsively. Listen to the Immortal Alliance's instructions and act according to the circumstances."
"Understood," the two replied in unison.
Before long, the four of them arrived at the teleportation array in Dragon Transformation City that led directly to Heaven-Soaring City.
There were already quite a few cultivators waiting here.
Without exception, all of these cultivators were at the Dao Integration Realm.
Clearly, they had also received a summons from the Immortal Alliance and were required to travel to Heaven-Soaring City.
The teleportation array in front of Li Yunjing requires a considerable amount of energy to activate, so unless one is willing to bear the cost alone, the teleportation array will not be activated for a single person.
The teleportation array will only activate once there are enough people.
After Li Yunjing and the other three arrived, someone came over to negotiate with Li Yunjing.
The person told Li Yunjing that the cost of activating the teleportation array would be shared by all those who were using it.
When divided among everyone, it only requires a payment of 100,000 Low-Grade Spirit Stone.
Li Yunjing had no objections and handed over 400,000 Low-Grade Spirit Stone directly.
Soon, Li Yunjing and the others entered the teleportation array.
With a flash of light, these people vanished from Dragon Transformation City in an instant.
Central Divine Province, Heaven-Soaring City
The Spiritual Qi energy here is even more concentrated, and the colorful sunset glow in the sky is even more dazzling.
Spirit boats from various sects and colorful escape lights could be seen from time to time in the sky.
Some spirit boats were engraved with the emblems of the Immortal Alliance and sects, while others belonged to Rogue Cultivator groups.
Inside the teleportation array in the center of the city, Li Yunjing and his companions appeared.
After stepping out of the teleportation array, Li Yunjing told the other three to wait where they were.
He has connections in the Immortal Alliance; someone will come to pick him up.
"Yunjing, look over there." Fang Hexuan suddenly pointed to the right horizon. "It looks like the spirit boat of the Heavenly Evolution Sect."
Li Yunjing looked up and saw a white spirit boat flying alongside him in the distance. The boat was engraved with Bagua patterns, which was the symbol of the righteous Heavenly Evolution Sect.
The Heavenly Evolution Sect excels at deducing celestial secrets and is one of the seven core sects of the Immortal Alliance, possessing profound cultural heritage.
Seemingly sensing the gazes directed their way, the white spirit boat slowed down slightly.
An elderly man in white robes stood at the bow of the boat, bowing respectfully in this direction.
"It's Elder Yunhe of the Heavenly Evolution Sect Fang Hexuan recognized him. "I saw him once from afar at a conference when I was young. He was at the Dao Union Middle Stage Integration Realm and was skilled in divination."
I never imagined that after so much time, he'd still only be at the Dao Union Middle Stage. I'm almost catching up to him.
Li Yunjing nodded slightly and raised his hand in return.
The two sides did not exchange many words, but after a brief greeting, the Heavenly Evolution Sect's flying boat sped away.
"It seems all the major sects have mobilized," Jin Ruoxu said in a deep voice. "Even the Heavenly Evolution Sect has come in person, which shows the situation is indeed serious."
Li Yunjing said, "The Primordial Dao Fruit is related to destiny, and no sect can sit idly by. The seven core sects will definitely come out in full force. Now that we have arrived in Heaven-Soaring City, we will inevitably have to deal with various forces. Remember, be careful with your words and actions, and avoid getting into disputes with others."
"Yes!"
After waiting a while longer, Li Yunjing finally saw an acquaintance approaching.
"Yunjing, you arrived so quickly!"
Xiao Tianxing strode forward to greet Li Yunjing, his face beaming with smiles.
However, when Xiao Tianxing sensed the powerful aura emanating from Li Yunjing, he felt a bitter taste in his mouth.
Back then, Xiao Tianxing Nascent Soul True Person, whose cultivation was far superior to Li Yunjing's.
Right now, he is still at the Nascent Soul Realm, while Li Yunjing's cultivation has long surpassed his by a great deal.
Fortunately, Li Yunjing was a good person, and even though his cultivation level was higher, he did not reduce his contact with him.
"Senior Brother Xiao, I'll have to trouble you this time coming to the Immortal Alliance," Li Yunjing said with a smile.
"It's alright." Xiao Tianxing waved his hand, then looked at Fang Hexuan and the others, "And these gentlemen are..."
Li Yunjing immediately introduced Fang Hexuan and the others to Xiao Tianxing.
After the two sides exchanged greetings, Xiao Tianxing led Li Yunjing and the others away.
After leaving, the group first went to register.
Upon arriving at the registration desk, Li Yunjing took out the Immortal Alliance Token and handed it to a disciple beside him. "Go register."
The disciple obeyed and quickly completed the formalities.
At this moment, a deacon from the Immortal Alliance strode over and bowed to Li Yunjing: "Are you Sect Leader Li of the Luozhen Sect? The Alliance Leader has ordered that all arriving sect leaders should first rest in the council hall. Once all the major sects have arrived, a council meeting will be held."
Xiao Tianxing nodded. "That's true."
Upon hearing this, Li Yunjing said, "Then Senior Brother Xiao, please take Grandmaster Fang and the others to rest first. I'll go to the council hall."
Xiao Tianxing led Fang Hexuan and the others away, and Li Yunjing looked at the steward.
"Thank you for leading the way," Li Yunjing said calmly.
Guided by the steward, Li Yunjing arrived at the outside of a secluded courtyard.
The villa is built against the mountain, complete with pavilions and towers, and is the residence specially used by the Immortal Alliance to receive visiting sects.
"Sect Leader Li, please rest here for now. Someone will come to inform you when the council meeting is about to begin," the steward said respectfully.
Thank you.
After the steward took his leave, Li Yunjing went to the separate courtyard to sit down and rest.
Li Yunjing picked up the teacup, took a sip, and thought to himself, "This tea is really good. Speaking of which, the tea grown by the sect itself is almost ripe, and I estimate its quality is no worse than this."
With the sect's Spirit Field available, Li Yunjing naturally planted many Spirit Plant, including tea trees.
With the help of the Luozhen Sect's Spirit Plant masters, the tea produced from those tea trees was of very high quality.
After taking a sip of tea, Li Yunjing put down his teacup and looked out the window.
Outside the window, the sky was ablaze with colorful clouds, and in the distance, from the direction of the council hall, powerful auras rose and fell.
Some were familiar, some were unfamiliar; among them were beings at the Peak Dao Union, and even two unfathomable auras hidden in the clouds.
Li Yunjing clicked his tongue inwardly; those two auras could probably crush him with ease.
It's unclear whether they are at the Tribulation Transcendence Realm or something even stronger.
Meanwhile, on the northern horizon of Heaven-Soaring City, demonic energy faintly surged, clashing with the celestial light of the righteous path.
Li Yunjing tapped his fingertips lightly on the table.
He knew that Heaven-Soaring City was just the first stop.
The real battlefield is definitely where the Primordial Dao Fruit was born.
I just don't know where this place of birth is.
That would be ideal if it could appear in a place that is beneficial to the righteous path.
