Thousand Blessings Mountain, Dark Heaven Peak.
The sun was shining brightly in the sky. However, the shady slope of the Dark Heaven Peak was filled with huge trees that blotted out the sun. The sunlight was almost completely blocked out. The forest was dim.
The ground was covered with various vines and shrubs. There was no place for one to step on.
Gao Zhengyang and Wei Lanjun flew on their Qi Kinesis Flight. However, there were too many obstacles in the forest. They could not increase their speed.
Wei Lanjun explained to Gao Zhengyang, "There are mutated Poison Claw Bats everywhere on this mountain. They hunt in groups and attack anyone they see. They're extremely ferocious. There are also poisonous insects and snakes on the ground. If an ordinary person were to enter the Dark Heaven Peak, they would definitely die. Even cultivators would find it difficult to enter … "
Wei Lanjun was very cautious when she moved. Clearly, the Formation here was extremely dangerous.
Gao Zhengyang, on the other hand, was quite interested in everything around him. He could tell that these huge trees were not natural. They were clearly planted by humans.
The huge trees that covered the mountains and plains formed a huge formation. Most of the bats, poisonous insects, and snakes were probably planted on purpose as well.
The huge Formation combined with the natural environment to form an enclosed domain. Any invader would find it difficult to pass through the layers of obstacles without making a sound.
The Nether Sect was capable of surviving for a thousand years. However, these things were external objects. The Nether Sect relied too much on these external objects to protect themselves. As time went on, they would lower their guard.
Gao Zhengyang had not entered the mountain for long. With his Divine King's insight, he had already seen through the key to the Grand Formation. Even without Wei Lanjun's guidance, he could enter and exit at will.
In truth, Wei Lanjun had taken many detours. After all, she could only follow the rules. She did not have her own understanding of the Grand Formation.
When Gao Zhengyang saw Wei Lanjun going around in circles, he felt slightly impatient. He grabbed Wei Lanjun's little hand. "Little Blossom, I'll take you away."
He did not allow Wei Lanjun to refuse. He increased his speed and sped forward with her.
Wei Lanjun was shocked. "Master, this mountain's Protective Formation is extremely profound. It's full of traps. You can't do anything rash … "
"There's nothing important about this Formation. It's mostly a bluff."
As Gao Zhengyang spoke, he led Wei Lanjun to the entrance of the Nether Sect's headquarters.
The Nether Sect's headquarters was located inside the Dark Heaven Peak. The entrance was originally a huge cave. Later on, a thick, heavy, bronze door was built. This copper door glowed with a yellow light, and there were countless runes carved on it. He looked quite imposing.
Wei Lanjun paused at the gate for a moment before she calmed down.
Wei Lanjun was well aware of the complexity and intricacy of this Mountain Guarding Formation. Over the years, it was unknown how many brothers and sisters had died tragically. It was Gao Zhengyang's first time here, but he was able to ignore the array as if it was nothing. Even her original master, Mysterious Yin Perfected Lord, could not compare to him in terms of foresight.
Zhang Xuan took out his identity token and swiped it across the door. Sensing the aura within, the door slowly slid open.
Wei Lanjun turned around and glanced at Gao Zhengyang, signaling him to be careful. If they went any further, they would arrive at the Nether Sect's headquarters. If they revealed an opening, they would die a terrible death.
If something happened to Gao Zhengyang, as an accomplice, Wei Lanjun would not be able to get any benefits. No matter what she thought, she did not wish for anything to happen to Gao Zhengyang now.
Gao Zhengyang smiled at Wei Lanjun. "Don't worry. With me here, no one can spy on us."
However, Wei Lanjun was not so magnanimous. She suggested, "I'm going to visit master first. I'll look for you when I'm free."
The master of the Fish Bone that Gao Zhengyang was impersonating was the Hall Master of the Refining Hall, Chen He. He was a Golden Core cultivator. However, Fish Bone was ugly and had a sinister personality. Chen He did not think much of him.
Their master-disciple relationship was also very cold. Chen He would only look for Fish Bone when he had something to do. Moreover, Fish Bone did not have any friends. He had always been a loner.
These situations, Wei Lanjun had already explained clearly to Gao Zhengyang.
Gao Zhengyang nodded. His cultivation base was currently very weak. He did not even have full confidence in dealing with a Golden Core cultivator. He would definitely die if he went against a Nascent Soul Perfected Lord. It was better to keep a low profile for now.
The interior of the Nether Sect's headquarters was extremely grand. The passageway was paved with jade-like stone slabs. It was clean and tidy. There were murals carved on the walls. There were crystal stones every ten feet, illuminating the entire place. It was as bright as day.
If one did not know better, they would think this was a palace. However, although this place was bright, it could not conceal the spacious and gloomy atmosphere.
Gao Zhengyang and Wei Lanjun walked for a long time but did not see anyone. When they arrived at a crossroad, Wei Lanjun gestured to Gao Zhengyang to make a left turn.
Wei Lanjun sighed in relief as she watched Gao Zhengyang's figure gradually disappear into the distance. She had become Gao Zhengyang's disciple mainly because of the urgency of the situation. She had no choice but to seek survival.
Fortunately, Gao Zhengyang did not make any excessive requests. He only changed her name to an ugly one.
Wei Lanjun waited until Gao Zhengyang was far away before she turned and entered the passageway on the right. After turning left and right, she returned to her own room.
The room was decorated beautifully. The table and chairs were made of Dragon-subduing Wood. The mattress was carved from a single piece of ice jade. There was even a blanket made of ice cicada silk. There was also a round bathing pool next door. The Spirit Qi water that was drawn up from underground was steaming hot all year round.
There was also a quiet room for secluded cultivation, a refining room for pills and Dharmic Tools, and so on.
As Mystic Yin Perfected Lord's disciple, Wei Lanjun was treated extremely well. It was not something Fishbone could compare to.
Sitting on the ice jade mattress, Wei Lanjun felt her body turn cold. Her chaotic emotions calmed down as well.
She had been thinking about how she should face Mystic Yin Perfected Lord and how she should deal with Gao Zhengyang when she returned to the Nether Sect.
Accompanying Gao Zhengyang in this mess would not only be deceiving her master, but she would also be going against the entire Nether Sect. If she was discovered, death would be the least of her worries.
Every time Wei Lanjun thought about this, her heart would be in a mess. The best solution now was, of course, to explain everything to Mystic Yin Perfected Lord and report Gao Zhengyang.
In the Nether Sect, no matter how capable Gao Zhengyang was, he would not be able to escape even if he had wings. The problem was, Gao Zhengyang was a schemer. Since he dared to come to the Nether Sect, he must have something to rely on.
Wei Lanjun could not understand this. What tricks did Gao Zhengyang have for him to come to the main altar so confidently?
The Ice Jade Mattress could calm one's mind and mind. It could even ward off the invasion of demonic thoughts and prevent Qi Deviation as much as possible. Among this generation of Nether Sect disciples, Wei Lanjun was the only one whom Mystic Yin Perfected Lord doted on. That was why she had such a cultivation treasure.
Wei Lanjun sensed the cold aura of the Ice Jade Mattress. After pondering for a long time, she finally figured it out. Mystic Yin Perfected Lord was extremely fond of and appreciated her. She had to explain this to her.
As for what Gao Zhengyang said about leaving an imprint on her soul, she did not believe it at all. There was no such technique in the world. Even if there was, it was not something a Foundation Establishment cultivator could do.
Wei Lanjun made up her mind. After bathing and changing her clothes, she went to Mystic Yin Perfected Lord's residence.
Mystic Yin Perfected Lord stayed at the lowest level. It was a forbidden area of the Nether Sect. Wei Lanjun was the only one who was doted on and had the token to enter and exit this place.
After passing through the layers of restrictions, Wei Lanjun saw Mystic Yin Perfected Lord.
Mystic Yin Perfected Lord sat below the Spirit Venerable Lord Mystic Yin's statue. Dressed in black, her skin was as fair as jade. She looked like a beautiful woman in her thirties. However, her eyes were empty as though she was blind.
Her empty eyes made her look emotionless.
However, Mystic Yin Perfected Lord really liked Wei Lanjun. A smile appeared on her face.
After kneeling and kowtowing, Wei Lanjun said, "Master, I have something to report."
"Oh." Mystic Yin Perfected Lord's expression turned serious. She knew that her disciple was very sensible. There must be something important for her to be so serious and formal.
Wei Lanjun was about to tell her about Gao Zhengyang. Before she could open her mouth, Gao Zhengyang's voice rang in her consciousness. "Little Hua, don't speak nonsense …"
