Xihao Palace
If Qin Yichen's guess was correct, Mu Yanzhen's faction must have sent someone to the Taihao Sacred Land. Moreover, their status must be quite high.
It should be similar to the relationship between the Golden-Blue Dynasty and the Radiance Sacred Land.
However, Mu Yanzhen's faction probably wasn't a dynasty, but a powerful secluded aristocratic family located in the dynasty's territory.
If he could establish a connection with Mu Yanzhen …
"Sigh …"
However, Qin Yichen couldn't help but sigh when he recalled Mu Yanzhen's impression of Li Yuanba.
It seemed that he couldn't rely on him for the time being.
Just as he was deep in thought, his eyes suddenly lit up, and the four of them appeared on a stone platform.
There were quite a number of people on the stone platform. There were about twenty of them.
Qin Yichen scanned the crowd and discovered that most of the people standing on the stone platform were very young. Moreover, each of them had an extraordinary bearing, and their cultivation levels weren't low. Half of them were advanced emperor realm, and although the other half hadn't reached advanced emperor realm yet, they were all mid emperor realm and very close to advanced.
Clearly, they were the new blood that the Taihao Sacred Land had recruited elsewhere.
After bringing them here, the sacred envoy from the Taihao Sacred Land left with Mu Yanzhen, leaving Qin Yichen and Li Yuanba behind.
Qin Yichen and Li Yuanba's arrival didn't attract much attention.
One of them had just stepped into mid emperor realm, while the other was initial emperor realm. It was difficult for them to attract attention even if they wanted to.
"So many experts!"
Li Yuanba looked around and rubbed his palms together in excitement.
Qin Yichen ignored him and took in their surroundings.
They were at the foot of a mountain.
Not far from the stone platform was the mountain gate.
There was a big bell hanging on the mountain gate.
A giant stele stood next to the gate. Written on it was … Taihao!
It was only two words, but they carried a great aura that spread out in a mighty manner. It was obvious that the person who wrote them was no ordinary person.
"Holy power!"
Qin Yichen sensed the aura of a saint from the two words.
Clearly, this was carved by a Saint.
Behind the mountain gate, numerous mountain peaks pierced through the clouds. Amidst the clouds and mist, one could faintly see numerous palaces, giving off a celestial charm.
This was the Taihao Holy Ground!
While Qin Yichen was observing, several groups of people arrived one after another. They were all led by Saint Envoys, and each of them was extraordinary.
"Clang clang clang …"
At noon, the big bell on the mountain gate was rung, attracting everyone's attention.
"Shua!"
A middle-aged man appeared at the mountain gate.
"This person has already broken through to the Emperor Realm …"
With just a glance, Qin Yichen was able to determine the middle-aged man's cultivation level.
If this person appeared in the territory of an empire, he would probably be able to annihilate an empire by himself!
From this, one could see the difference between a Saint Land and a Dynasty.
After the middle aged man arrived, he first glanced at the 30 plus people present before he spoke, "My name is Yu Liang, and I'm the Outer Court Deacon of the Holy Land."
"Deacon of the Outer Court?"
Qin Yichen's heart skipped a beat.
The Holy Lands were divided into inner and outer sects.
The outer sects recruited new blood, and only those who were outstanding enough could be promoted to inner disciples.
Since Muyanzhen was taken away, it might mean that she was directly chosen to be an inner disciple!
"Since you've been chosen, you'll be members of the Taihao Holy Land from now on!"
Yu Liang continued. His words made the young geniuses' hearts surge.
To them, being able to enter the Holy Land was a great honor. It was enough to make their names known and bring honor to their ancestors. Their factions would also rise in status because of it.
"Now, I'll bestow upon you divine jades."
He waved his hand as he spoke, and pieces of jade fell precisely into the hands of everyone on the stone platform.
The words "Taihao" were written on the jade.
The jade was cold to the touch, and everyone felt refreshed when they received it.
This made many people realize that the jade was not only a symbol of status, but also had the effect of calming the mind. If they wore it while cultivating, it would be very beneficial.
If this item was placed in the territory of an empire, it would definitely attract a lot of experts to fight for it. However, in the Holy Land, everyone had one.
"Drip your blood to claim ownership."
Under Yu Liang's guidance, everyone cut their fingertips and dripped a drop of blood on the jade.
"Only those who possess our Holy Land's jade can enter the mountain gate and the Holy Land!"
He explained.
"Now, follow me to the Xihao Palace to register."
With that, the outer disciple deacon led everyone into the mountain gate.
When they passed through the mountain gate, Qin Yichen could clearly feel an aura rippling toward them. At the same time, a faint light flashed on the jade. Then, they entered the mountain gate without any hindrance.
Everyone was able to sense this change, causing them to sigh with emotion.
They could feel how powerful that aura was. If it were not for the jade, they would have been annihilated by that aura.
This might be the reason why no one was guarding the mountain gate of the Holy Land.
There was no need for anyone to guard it at all.
After passing through the mountain gate, Yu Liang led everyone into a valley basin.
It was extremely spacious inside, with mountains, rivers, and even rivers.
There were all kinds of buildings inside.
The largest ones were the four large halls that stood in the four corners of the valley.
With Yu Liang's guidance, they learned some information …
The four halls were the East Hao Palace, the South Hao Palace, the North Hao Palace, and the West Hao Palace.
Each hall was different.
For example, the West Hao Palace that they were heading to was in charge of some trivial matters in the Holy Land, such as registering.
The East Hao Palace was the Martial Skills Hall.
The South Hao Palace was the Elixir Hall.
The North Hao Palace was the Martial Skills Hall.
Li Yuanba did not pay much attention to the first three halls, but his eyes lit up when he heard about the Martial Skills Hall.
Under Yu Liang's guidance, the group entered the West Hao Palace.
The hall was empty. There was no one inside.
Yu Liang came to the only table in the hall.
Behind the table, a slovenly little old man was dozing off. He smacked his lips from time to time, as if he was having a good dream.
"Elder Hua, Elder Hua …"
Although Yu Liang was the outer disciple deacon of the Taihao Holy Land, he seemed a little nervous when he came to the little old man. His voice was very soft, as if he was afraid that the little old man would scold him.
"What's the matter? Why are you making so much noise?!"
After about ten minutes, the little old man woke up. After waking up, he cursed in an extremely unhappy tone. In the end, his gaze fell on Yu Liang and he immediately berated, "It's you again, brat. It seems that the lesson I taught you last time wasn't enough!"
"Elder Hua, I brought a newcomer this time. Otherwise, I wouldn't have dared to disturb your sleep …"
Yu Liang was drenched in cold sweat as he hurriedly explained.
At this moment, the little old man that he called Elder Hua seemed to have noticed the dozens of young faces in the hall.
"I'll let you off this time!"
Elder Hua snorted and turned his gaze to the group.
Under his gaze, everyone's bodies stiffened.
