Evacuation from the Luo Heaven Sea
Luo Heaven Sea, on Yaoguang Island.
At this time, more than 30,000 cultivators had gathered here, most of whom were from major sects, and some were Rogue Cultivator.
However, these Rogue Cultivator from Yaoguang don't provide Spirit Stone; if they want to go, they have to pay for it themselves.
But since they're here, there's no need to worry about the Mind Spirit Stone.
After glancing at Liu Zongyuan, Yaoguang asked again, "Are you really determined to stay?"
Liu Zongyuan shook his head and said, "I'm not leaving. If you all leave, someone has to stay and guard this place."
Venerable Yaoguang shook his head slightly and said, "In that case, I'll leave Luo Heaven Sea to you."
"Walk."
At Venerable Yaoguang Yaoguang's command, a hundred large ships took to the air, carrying 80,000 people towards the formation.
Liu Zongyuan calmly gazed at the vast fleet in the sky and murmured softly, "May you all achieve your goals on this journey. The word 'immortal' carries too much weight; immortality ultimately leads to loneliness. My ambitions truly lie elsewhere."
On a small island in the Heavenly South Sea, flashes of white light appeared repeatedly, and within three hours everyone had been teleported there.
The cultivators looked around noisily, while the mortals with talent looked around with some fear.
"Yaoguang, you've finally arrived. Is everything arranged over there?"
Yaoguang nodded and said, "Everything has been arranged as best we can. That junior from the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion didn't want to come, but it's good that he's keeping an eye on things there."
Venerable Kaiyang glanced at the mortals below, his heart filled with mixed emotions, but in the end, he didn't address the topic. Instead, he hesitantly asked, "That formation..."
Venerable Yaoguang nodded and said, "I destroyed the formation, but I left behind the method for constructing the formation's foundation. However, I didn't tell anyone directly; instead, I circulated it among the mortals disguised as news of a treasure."
"That's good, it doesn't completely cut off the path for future generations." Venerable Kaiyang nodded in agreement.
This formation must be destroyed. Both Yaoguang and Kaiyang shared this idea. The reason was simple: the Demon Beast, especially the Eagle King Xintian. In the last battle, it obtained so many Nascent Soul level corpses. Who knows, it might break through to the fifth level one day.
Even if Luo Heaven Sea was ultimately wiped out, at least they didn't bring that trouble to Heavenly South, which can be considered as doing their utmost.
After exchanging words for a while, suddenly, a golden road appeared in the sky from the north, and a carriage drawn by a unicorn slowly walked through the air.
After witnessing this scene, Venerable Yaoguang and the others remained silent, simply standing there and waiting.
They've arrived! The powerful figures from Heavenly South have arrived!
"Friends who have come from afar, are you passing by or staying?" Several ethereal yet authoritative female voices rang out from inside the carriage. Although they were very slow, they carried a hint of questioning.
Just then, a golden light arrived from afar. After the light dissipated, Shen Ge stood beside the carriage, smiling warmly at Yaoguang and the others, and said, "Gentlemen, it's been a long time."
Yaoguang and the others ignored Shen Ge and instead looked at the palanquin. Venerable Kaiyang straightened his expression and stepped forward to reply, "Your Majesty, we are just passing through. These mortals are lingering here; we hope Your Majesty can make proper arrangements for them."
"Gentlemen, please follow me."
The unicorn began to run, the carriage turned around and slowly drove away, while the afterglow in the sky slowly dissipated.
At the same time, several streaks of light flew in from the horizon. Judging from their uniform attire, they seemed to be subordinates of some important figure.
One Nascent Soul and three Golden Core cultivators—it seems the high-level combat force of Heavenly South hasn't completely dissipated.
But thinking about it, it makes sense. What will happen to these mortals after they've all traversed this vast Heavenly South?
It's impossible to leave it unattended until it's handled properly.
"Let's go, follow us." Venerable Kaiyang flew off and followed, and the others were not far behind. The cultivators below quickly boarded the ship, started the spaceship, and followed as well.
As for those mortals, since someone has taken over their care, they will be handled properly. Yaoguang and the others have already done more than enough by bringing these people to Heavenly South.
In the Phoenix City Palace, Yaoguang and the others were arranged to rest in a large side hall. As for the disciples of various sects and Rogue Cultivator, they were not allowed to enter the city. Instead, a piece of land was designated for them to rest on Phoenix Mountain outside the city, and there were also people specifically assigned to guard them.
After all, there are a large number of cultivators, and many Rogue Cultivator are mixed in among them. If they enter the city, they are likely to cause trouble.
However, some people were exceptions. Shen Ge invited Miaoyin, Gu Ye, Li Liu and others to enter Phoenix City together, but they did not go to the palace. Instead, they found a restaurant in the city.
After all, these friends have come from afar, so as the host, I should give them a warm welcome.
However, Heavenly South is inferior to the Luo Heaven Sea in this respect: the food is not as good. The abundance of Demon Beast here is far less than in the Luo Heaven Sea. The best ingredients in this restaurant are only second-tier Demon Beast meat, and there isn't much of it.
However, the spirit wine is quite good. Although Demon Beast resources are relatively scarce in Heavenly South, spirit items used for brewing are quite common, and they can also be cultivated artificially.
There weren't many people at the table, only eight: Gu Ye, Miaoyin, Li Liu, Zhang Lingyu, and Shen Ge with his three disciples.
In the other side of the palace, a knocking sound came from the side hall where Yaoguang and the others were.
After exchanging glances, Xuanxing, who had just regained his physical form, waved and opened the door.
Perhaps because his physical body was destroyed by the Eagle King's monstrous attack last time, he has become much more silent now.
Dressed like a scholar, Song Junjie walked in with a smile. He bowed and said, "Junior Song Junjie greets all seniors."
Golden Core Peak?
Yaoguang and the others remained expressionless, but they were all somewhat displeased. They clearly had Nascent Soul Realm cultivator, yet they sent a Golden Core Peak instead. What, were they looking down on them?
But these were just their thoughts; none of them revealed them at all.
After the group returned the greetings in a perfunctory manner, Venerable Kaiyang asked with a smile, "Fellow Daoist Song, may I ask what brings you here at this hour?"
Song Junjie smiled but didn't say anything; he simply stretched out one hand.
The meaning of wanting something couldn't be clearer.
Although they were all somewhat displeased, they were also prepared to be extorted, so Venerable Kaiyang continued to ask, "Fellow Daoist, give me a price."
"Five fourth-tier items for each family. Also, leave some of your Cultivation Method."
Five items per family? And they even need Cultivation Method?
The faces of Tianquan, Tianxuan, and the others immediately darkened. This was truly an outrageous demand!
Song Junjie noticed their expressions, still wearing a gentle smile, and said, "Don't think I'm extorting you. Do you know how much manpower and resources we spent to find a way to the Heavenly Desolation Domain, and that doesn't even include the time."
"If you don't leave anything behind, why should we tell you this news, and why should we let you pass through?"
