Everbright Mountain

Just as Lingxian Sect was busy with the autumn harvest, Lin Xiao finally quietly emerged from the small dark room in the Formation Hall.

That night, dark clouds obscured the moon, and the night was dark and windy.

The lights in the main hall of the Formation Hall had already been turned off.

In the darkness, a figure flashed by, exiting the Formation Hall hall in the blink of an eye and disappearing into the night.

Xiushui Village calls the mountain range behind them North Mountain), which appears enormous when viewed from above.

North Mountain is not a straight line; it has eight valleys and nine peaks running horizontally, forming its main trunk. There are three branches extending out from the sides. Two of these branches run parallel to each other, forming a trench at the end of the mountain range, while the other branch forms a separate ridge, sloping out from the middle.

It is surrounded by countless hills and dense forests.

Although the entire North Mountain now belongs to the Lingxian Sect, the only areas officially used by the Lingxian Sect are the halfway up the mountain at the very front, Azure Cloud Peak, the valley between Azure Cloud Peak and the peak behind it that serves as a plaza, plus a small valley behind Azure Cloud Peak and the halfway up the mountain, which can be considered as an addendum.

The rest of the area remains an undeveloped, natural landscape.

Lin Xiao arrived at the end of the North Mountain alone without alerting anyone.

Here, two mountain ranges, one high and one low, run parallel and enclose each other, forming an extremely deep ravine between them.

Suspended in the air between the two mountain ridges, Lin Xiao looked at the dark mountains before him, silent and cold in the wind, and then opened his private vault to peek at the pile of things he had placed at the front.

He stretched his fingers, a little nervous, but mostly expectant.

I wonder if the final result will be as I hope...

Hesitation was not in his nature, so he didn't hesitate for long before taking something out of his private stash.

This is a cube that looks a lot like a Rubik's Cube, only Dayi than an adult's fist.

At first glance, the cube appears completely black, but upon closer inspection, countless fine lines within it gleam with a subtle sheen.

Those shimmering, fine lines weave through the entire cube, dividing it into countless smaller pieces.

Upon closer inspection, it can be discovered that this pitch-black cube is actually transparent, and its interior can be clearly seen.

Inside, layers of small squares, cut with fine, shimmering lines, appear as static objects, yet seem to be constantly changing.

But if you concentrate even more, you can't see anything at all; all you see is a pitch-black mass, silently held in the darkness.

Looking at the black Rubik's Cube in his hand, Lin Xiao was very satisfied.

This is the result of several months of careful tinkering!

After holding back for so long, we've finally reached this final step!

He eagerly tossed the black Rubik's Cube gently into the air, and it immediately hovered in mid-air.

Then, Lin Xiao's right palm faced the black Rubik's Cube, and his five fingers suddenly spread open!

The four corners of the black cube suspended in the air were instantly pulled by several invisible threads, and the entire cube suddenly loosened and completely deformed.

The torn black Rubik's Cube instantly transformed into a complex, interwoven grid, with shimmering patterns connecting it layer upon layer, magnifying at a visible speed.

Then, Lin Xiao gently hooked his long index finger, and a dark opening suddenly appeared in the complex and dazzling mesh.

He then took something out of his private stash, shaped it into a small ball of light, and flicked it with his left fingertip right into the dark opening, sending the ball of light inside.

After the deployment was completed, Lin Xiao clenched his right hand, and the opening closed tightly in a flash. Then, he pushed outward with his thumb, index, and middle fingers, and slightly turned his wrist upward. The loose mesh had already opened up above the twin ridges without anyone noticing, as if it covered the sky!

The next moment, Lin Xiao brought three fingers together and flicked his wrist slightly, causing the shimmering patterns that had been moving across the vast grid in the air to suddenly freeze.

At this moment, Lin Xiao took a soft breath.

This is the final step.

He continuously channeled his inner Origin Qi into the fingertips of his right hand, Spirit Concentration his mind, and his originally nimble and free right hand became as if it were imprisoned and held firmly in place.

In the silent night, both the giant net in the sky and Lin Xiao, who controlled it, seemed to be frozen in time.

The next instant, his right palm began to slowly press down!

The enormous net spread outwards with his movements, enveloping the Shuangling mountain ravine below!

At the same time, an invisible Yin Qi swept in from all directions!

The overwhelming Yin Qi was drawn into the giant net as it spread downwards.

As the grid descended, the rocks and trees below seemed to be coated with an eerie black, making them even more elusive than the night itself.

For a moment, the scene in this place seemed to be undergoing a silent earthquake.

a long time.

Just as Lin Xiao's vital Origin Qi was about to be exhausted, the grid completely covered the Shuangling mountain ravine, merging with it.

A cool breeze blew by, and the place returned to normal. Occasionally, you could hear the night cries of forest birds in the mountains, as if nothing had happened.

Anyone who saw it would have thought it was just an ordinary mountain range.

Only Lin Xiao knew what changes had actually occurred here.

He looked down at the mountains below, released himself from the air, and landed alone at the junction of the mountains and the main mountain range.

A huge stone tablet has been erected here at some unknown time.

The inscription reads "Everbright Mountain".

[Ding--Congratulations, host, you have successfully added the sect building [Everbright Mountain] independently. The reward has been sent to your private treasury. Please check your account.]

A system notification sounded in Lin Xiao's mind.

However, now is not the time to check the system rewards.

He was even more eager to witness his own achievements firsthand.

The entrance to Everbright Mountain is this huge stone tablet in front of you.

However, the method of entering is somewhat different.

In the deep of night, amidst desolate mountains and wilderness, Lin Xiao reached out and bent his index finger, gently tapping four times on the stone tablet.

Three people and four ghosts.

If Lin Dayou were there, he would definitely give Lin Xiao a good beating for doing that.

As the knocking subsided, a cool breeze rose from the ground around the stone tablet, causing the leaves of the surrounding trees to flutter down and rustle.

In the quiet night, something seemed to be gathering.

Lin Xiao was gradually enveloped by the thick fog, isolating him from the outside world.

Before long, wisps of white steam suddenly rose from the stone tablet.

The white mist gathered together, gradually solidified, and slowly, it even took the form of a face!

Although this face has eyes, ears, a mouth, and a nose, it doesn't look human.

Those narrow, elongated eyes, that pointed nose and mouth, and those long ears that grow on either side of the top of its head...

It's clearly a white fox!

However, Lin Xiao didn't seem particularly surprised by the appearance of the white fox, as if he had known about it all along.

That is indeed the case.
