In fact, Gu Li was not the only one who was disappointed.
Even Duan Lingtian and Zhu Lüqi were stunned when they saw the entrance of the cave.
This was the passage that led to the Upper Province of the Dao Martial Saint Land?
It was completely different from what they had expected!
Although they did not expect it to be so exaggerated, it was not as shabby as this.
'Perhaps, there's another world inside …'
Duan Lingtian comforted himself.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
…
The Watcher, Elder Liu, did not notice the disappointment of Duan Lingtian and the other two. After removing the snow that was blocking the entrance of the cave, he began to make his move one after another.
In just a blink of an eye, another eight cave entrances appeared before Duan Lingtian and the other two.
There was a total of nine cave entrances that appeared on the mountainside of the lofty snowy mountain. From afar, they formed a regular circle.
"Elder Liu … Which one is the passage that leads to the Upper Province?"
Gu Li asked as he looked at Elder Liu when he regained his senses.
He could faintly sense that things did not seem to be as he had imagined.
"The Saint Stones that support the Inter-province Transportation Formation are stored in these nine caves. Each of them forms an independent grade-two Formation. After the Transportation Formation is activated, the nine grade-two Formations will activate and consume the Saint Stones to form the Inter-province Transportation Formation. Once you step into the Inter-province Transportation Formation, you'll enter the passage that leads to the Upper Province. "
Elder Liu glanced at Gu Li indifferently as he explained.
At the same time, Elder Liu made his move again.
Whoosh!
A streak of light shot out from the tip of Elder Liu's finger like an electric snake.
"How fast!"
Duan Lingtian only managed to catch a slight trace of the electric snake before it disappeared before his eyes in just a blink of an eye.
When Zhu Lüqi sensed the energy in the electric snake, he felt chills running up his spine. This was because the electric snake was formed by a force that made his heart palpitate.
If it was not aimed at the lofty snowy mountain in front of him, he would not have been able to block it at all.
Even if he had already taken half a step into the Mastery Exemplary Saint Stage!
"Quintessential Saint Stage! Is this the strength of a Quintessential Saint Stage powerhouse? "
Zhu Lüqi was shocked, but at the same time, his eyes were filled with fanaticism.
He had heard that the Guardian of the Dao Martial Saint Land was a Quintessential Saint Stage powerhouse.
The current him could not be compared to the previous him.
Even if he did not plan to continue using the Devouring Dark Devil Technique to devour young women's vital energy and blood to cultivate, he was 100% confident he would be able to break through to the Quintessential Saint Stage in the near future and catch up to the Watcher.
Unlike Duan Lingtian and Zhu Lüqi who were shocked, Gu Li did not notice the lightning snake because his cultivation was weaker.
Because of this, he was not as shocked as Duan Lingtian and Zhu Lüqi.
Boom!
Under the gazes of Zhu Lüqi and Duan Lingtian, one after the other, the electric snake landed at the center of the circle formed by the nine caves. All of a sudden, the accumulated snow there exploded.
Immediately after, the nine originally pitch-black cave entrances lit up at once.
Nine waves of powerful auras were emitted from the nine caves, causing Duan Ling Tian and the other two to feel quite pressured.
"What a powerful energy! The Saint Stones inside are definitely not as simple as third-grade Saint Stones! "
In the Dobusei Subterranean, a quasi third-rate force controlled a quasi third-grade Saint Stone reserve.
A quasi third-grade Saint Stone reserve was the best reserve in the Dobusei Subterranean.
Even the best Saint Stones produced by this reserve were only third-grade Saint Stones. Moreover, there were very few of them.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
…
Soon after, Duan Lingtian and the other two saw a flash in front of their eyes. Nine beams of light of different colors shot out from the nine caves. They were like wild horses that had escaped their reins as they shot into the sky in unison.
Among the nine colors, seven of them were the seven colors of the rainbow. They were red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, and violet.
As for the remaining two colors, one was black and one was white.
Boom!
Under the watchful eyes of Duan Lingtian and the other two, the nine beams of energy collided and made an earth-shattering sound.
Then, the nine beams of energy collided and merged with each other.
In the end, the black and white energies formed a pattern. It was a pattern that was familiar to Duan Lingtian.
Taichi!
Yin Yang Fish!
The pattern of the Yin-Yang Fish floated in the void. Above it, there was an obscure, translucent energy floating.
From afar, with the Yin Yang Fish as the base, the translucent energy formed a cylindrical body.
"This is the Inter-province Transportation Formation … As long as you step into it, you'll be able to enter the passage from the Lower Province to the Upper Province!"
At the same time, Elder Liu's voice resonated in the air.
"The passage is neither long nor short. Not only that, but it's also dangerous … However, it's only dangerous for people below the Eminent Saint Stage. Eminent Saint Stage powerhouses can protect themselves inside. Not only can those who're more powerful protect themselves, but they can also protect their companions. "
When Elder Liu reached the end of his sentence, he finally stopped speaking.
Duan Lingtian and the other two immediately shifted their attention to the Inter-province Transportation Formation.
As for what Elder Liu said about powerhouses above the Eminent Saint Stage being able to travel to the passage from the Dobusei Subterranean to the Upper Province with their own strength, they had long heard about it so they did not find it strange.
However, they were more curious about the Transportation Formation in front of them.
"Apart from the energy of the Saint Inscription, there's also the energy of the Dao Talisman in this Transportation Formation."
Although they were still far apart, Duan Lingtian could still sense the Saint Inscription's aura coming from the Transportation Formation.
Apart from that, after he secretly activated his Strange Pupil, he also saw the faintly discernible talisman in the Transportation Formation. It was a Dao Talisman.
In other words, this Inter-province Transportation Formation was formed by the combination of the Saint Inscription's energy and the Dao Talisman's energy.
"Elder Liu!"
After taking a deep breath, Duan Lingtian looked at Elder Liu and asked the question in his heart, "Who built this Transportation Formation? Also, I don't think the Saint Stones stored in the nine caves are third-grade Saint Stones, right? "
The moment Duan Lingtian opened his mouth, he asked the two questions that had been bothering him.
He was very curious about what kind of existence could build such a teleportation array.
Apart from that, he was also curious about how many Saint Stones were needed to support the Transportation Formation and what grade they were.
He had a feeling the Saint Stones used to support the Transportation Formation were not from the Dobusei Subterranean.
Merely third-grade Saint Stones and quasi third-grade Saint Stones should not be able to support the Transportation Formation.
"This Transportation Formation has existed since the Dao Martial Saint Land was divided into the Upper Province and Lower Province. At that time, this Transportation Formation was built under the leadership of a senior at the Ninth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage who lived in seclusion. Those who participated were all at the Seventh Form of the Saint Celestial Stage or above. There were no less than ten of them. "
When Elder Liu reached the end of his sentence, his expression turned solemn.
"Ninth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage?"
Whether it was Duan Lingtian, Gu Li, or Zhu Lüqi, all of them could not help but gasp when they heard Elder Liu's words.
What was the Ninth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage?
Such a powerhouse was a powerhouse who had half a foot in the Devata Realm!
In the Dao Martial Saint Land, people referred to those at the Ninth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage as Half Celestials. They were people who had half a foot in the Celestial Stage.
It was said that once a powerhouse at the Ninth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage passed the Celestial Ascension Tribulation and ascended to the Devata Realm, he would become a true Celestial.
Just by listening to Elder Liu's description of the people who participated in the construction of the Inter-province Transportation Formation, Duan Lingtian and the other two could tell how huge the project was.
It was all thanks to the efforts of the predecessors that the successors were able to enjoy such convenience.
The predecessors planted the trees while the successors enjoyed the shade.
There was nothing more to it than this.
For this reason, Duan Lingtian was filled with awe when he thought about those powerhouses.
"As for the Saint Stones that support the Inter-province Transportation Formation, they're all handled by the first-rate forces in the Upper Province, including the first-rate force behind me. 90% of the Saint Stones inside are first-grade Saint Stones while 10% are quasi Celestial-grade Saint Stones!"
Elder Liu continued to say.
"90% of them are first-grade Saint Stones?"
Duan Lingtian gasped.
Gu Li and Zhu Lüqi were stunned as well.
"Elder Liu, are quasi Celestial-grade Saint Stones more precious than first-grade Saint Stones?"
Duan Lingtian asked solemnly.
"Yes."
Elder Liu nodded and continued to say, "Quasi Celestial-grade Saint Stones are usually found in quasi Celestial-grade Saint Stone reserves. Naturally, first-grade Saint Stone reserves would occasionally produce some. The first-rate forces in the Upper Province basically possess one or two first-grade Saint Stone reserves. "
"What about the three great sects?"
Duan Lingtian asked with a glint in his eyes.
In the Upper Province of the Dao Martial Saint Land, the three great sects were above the first-rate forces. They were also the top forces in the Upper Province of the Dao Martial Saint Land.
"The three great sects?"
A hint of anger flashed in Elder Liu's eyes when he heard Duan Lingtian's question. "The three great sects have occupied the only three quasi Celestial-grade Saint Stone reserves in the Upper Province of the Dao Martial Saint Land. Moreover, they've also occupied more than twenty first-grade Saint Stone reserves!
Even so, they still ask us, the first-rate forces, to pay for the Saint Stones required to support the Inter-province Transportation Formation. They don't even contribute a single cent! "
The more Elder Liu spoke, the angrier he became.
This was his confession as a member of a first-rate force in the Upper Province of the Dao Martial Saint Land!
This was his anger as a member of a first-rate force in the Upper Province of the Dao Martial Saint Land!
The exploitation by the three great sects had caused the people from the first-rate forces to be unable to voice out their anger.
As a member of a first-rate force, the anger in Elder Liu's heart had long accumulated. Now that he had taken this opportunity to vent it out, it was uncontrollable!
Upon hearing Elder Liu's words, Duan Lingtian frowned.
Gu Li and Zhu Lüqi frowned as well.
"The three great sects are too much! They're sitting on so many first-grade Saint Stones and quasi celestial grade Saint Stones, but they're so stingy when it comes to the Inter-realm Teleportation Formation's consumption … Are their Saint Stones going to their coffins with them? "
Gu Li was filled with righteous indignation.
On the other hand, Duan Lingtian and Zhu Lüqi were much calmer.
Although they also felt that the three great sects were a little too much, who asked them to be stronger than the first-rate forces?
This was a cruel world where the strong were respected!
