Inside the Yaoyin Clan's small world, there had been a long period of silence ever since Wei Zihong went into closed-door cultivation. However, on this day, a series of dragon roars could be heard, causing the mountains to shake.
Not long after, the shadow of a dragon spiraled into the sky, emitting a clear spiritual light. At the same time, hundreds of black auras soared into the sky. They looked like heavenly pillars, but also like beacons and smoke. Soon, the sky was dyed black.
In this dark sky, all sound, light, and spirit could not be seen. It was as if the five senses were blocked, and everything in the world was isolated outside.
There were not many living beings in the small world. Other than some spirit birds and beasts, there were more than a hundred disciples who were in charge of guarding the palace. At this moment, they were all involuntarily in a daze.
Because the door of the small world was not closed, the aura here was constantly leaking out from the inside to the outside world.
When the elders in the mountain gate sensed it, they all looked serious.
One of them said, "Sect Master's cultivation is at a critical juncture. This is related to the great plan of the Yaoyin Clan, and we cannot allow outsiders to disturb him. Pass down my order, activate the mountain gate formation, release the spirit beasts ten thousand miles away, and double the number of patrolling guards."
As the orders were passed down, the entire Lone Spoon Mountain was in a state of alertness.
At this moment, a ray of light flashed and landed on the top of the mountain. A black-robed Daoist walked out. All the elders in the Yaoyin Clan stood up and bowed, saying, "Greetings, Sect Master Yuan."
Yuan JIngqing grunted and sensed the small world. He said, "Senior Brother Wei's aura is exuding. It's obvious that he's about to succeed. Perhaps it will happen within this year."
The people who sensed the aura just now all felt agitated and depressed. They didn't know if something happened to their Sect Leader while he was cultivating. After all, no matter how talented they were, they couldn't guarantee that they would be able to pass the trial of becoming a Heavenly Dwelling. Therefore, they were all a little uneasy. Now that they heard what he said, they could not help but feel slightly relieved.
Yuan JIngqing said again, "Everyone, please step back a little. Senior Brother Wei's magic power and divine art are domineering and cruel. If you get too much of it, it might be harmful to you. "
The elders present heard this. They all retreated to a distance away and sat down cross-legged. After circulating their energy a few times, the abnormalities in their bodies gradually disappeared.
Yuan JIngqing did not leave, instead, he turned his head to look at the small world's portal. His heart, however, was not as relaxed as what he said Just Now.
He remembered that before Wei Zihong went into seclusion, he had once said that although he cultivated in the Xuanmen Sect, he was still able to cultivate in the Xuanmen Sect. However, because Patriarch Tai Heng was originally a Devil Wyrm, even though he had abandoned the Devil Wyrm and turned to the profound later on, there were still some traces of the Devil Sect in his cultivation. At this moment, he should have already arrived at the most dangerous step, the stage of 'reincarnation from death, the transformation of Yin and Yang'.
In order to pass this hurdle, the cultivator must first sink into a state of stillness, continuously condensing and settling the essence, energy, and spirit. The longer this process takes, the more time it will take. The greater the benefits.
However, the depth of this all depended on the cultivator themselves.
If it was too short, it would affect one's future cultivation. They might not even be able to take another step forward. If they took too long, they would sink into oblivion, and if they were unlucky, they might never wake up again.
For several months, the spiritual energy in Yaoyin Mountain continued to flow into the small world's portal. However, it was still dark inside, and there was no change. It was like an abyss that could never be filled, and all the living beings in the Inner Realm were motionless. It was as if they were dead.
However, just as this situation seemed like it would continue, a light suddenly lit up in the endless darkness. At first, it looked very weak, as if it could be drowned by the surrounding haze at any moment. However, it stubbornly persisted and continued to expel the impurities and expand itself.
As this wisp of light grew stronger and stronger, it transformed into a sun in the end. At the moment it appeared in the sky, it instantly pierced through the haze in an area of 5,000 kilometers. All living beings woke up at practically the same moment, and they were filled with vitality once more.
At the same time, the dragon roar that had not been heard for a long time rang out again. A thick light flew up, and a large axe could be vaguely seen hidden within it. After it flew up high, it suddenly turned into a Mysterious Dragon and circled around the sun, causing its light to become even brighter.
However, this wasn't the end. After a moment, an eye suddenly opened on the sun. It turned a few times and looked toward the continent. Wherever it looked, the mountains trembled and the rivers churned.
All the cultivators in the Inner Realm who saw this felt their hearts skip a beat. Then their bodies trembled and they felt dizzy. It was as if their bodies and souls were about to split apart. This scene seemed to be imprinted in their hearts, and even if they didn't look at it, it would still appear clearly in their minds.
Under the reminder of a deacon elder, everyone took out the pills they had prepared and swallowed them. They also blocked the spiritual energy inside and outside of their bodies to stabilize their minds.
After a few more months, after the sun had absorbed enough spiritual energy, there was a loud bang and it slowly descended toward the main peak. Then, it merged with a figure at the top of the mountain.
Wei Zihong opened his eyes and a divine light flashed between his eyebrows. Then, it disappeared. With a thought, he absorbed all the light around him into his body and felt comfortable. He looked at himself and laughed. He stood up and looked at the magnificent mountains below him. He couldn't help but chant, "The sun and moon are hidden under Qing Tong Mountain. Cut off the previous body and cross the Xuanhang. Dragon blood refines the energy and transforms everything. Once the divine eye is opened, Yin and Yang are turned."
After a moment, he stepped onto a path and walked out of the Inner Realm.
The elders of the Yaoyin Clan had been waiting in front of the door every day. Just Now, they noticed the changes in the Inner Realm and knew that their Sect Leader had succeeded. They were all very excited. When they saw him appear, they all bowed and said, "Welcome Sect Leader out of closed door cultivation. We wish Sect Leader a long life."
Yuan JIngqing also took a step forward and said, "Congratulations, Senior Brother."
Wei Zihong nodded at him and said, "Thank you for taking care of my disciples all these years, Junior Brother."
Yuan JIngqing said, "We are from the same sect, there is no need to be so polite."
Wei Zihong shook his head and said in a serious tone, "I owe you a favor this time."
Yuan JIngqing said, "Since Senior Brother has come out of closed door cultivation, I think there is nothing to do here. I am ready to go back to the sect for closed door cultivation."
Wei Zihong looked at him and understood, "Junior Brother's progress is fast. I am afraid that after a period of cultivation, you will be able to achieve the Yuanying Dharmakaya. It is time for you to go back to the sect to cultivate. But you can wait for a few days. Now that I have achieved the Cave, I should first pay my respects to my master. After I have settled the matters in the sect, I will go to the Dragon Abyss Sea with you. What do you think?"
Yuan JIngqing cupped his hands and said, "Senior brother can make the decision."
Wei Zihong smiled, called out, and led the Sect Elders to the main hall. He looked around, nodding his head.
Back then, when he arrived at Mount Gu Shao, he had to fight against the countless demons and insects in the area, so he had to set up a formation. In the mountain, he had only casually set up a few temples. As for the disciples, most of them lived in caves that were carved out with magic power.
It wasn't that they didn't have the ability to build a magnificent palace, but they knew that if they couldn't defend this place, then all their efforts would be in vain.
Before he went into isolation, most of the demons and monsters had been exterminated. Most of them had retreated deep into the mountains and were no longer a threat to the outside world. After decades of peace, Mount Gu Shao had gradually gained some momentum. Now, outside the main mountain, there were many floating islands, flying peaks, and waterfalls. Even on the distant peaks, one could see temples and temples. It was obvious that the Yaoyin Clan had expanded their influence to those areas.
He glanced around and saw that at the foot of the mountain, there was a huge monster crawling at every entrance. He asked, "What's going on with these monsters?"
One of the elders hurriedly explained, "Sect Leader, these are monsters that I caught to guard the sect. However, some of them are quite obedient, so the elders decided to allow them to transform and enter our sect. Therefore, they have been working very hard."
Wei Zihong nodded. There were many disciples in Yaoyin Mountain, and he didn't care if the disciples were demons or not. From his point of view, these demons were also living creatures. As long as they had intelligence and were willing to be controlled by the rules of the sect, then they could all be accepted.
Because Qincang School fought with the demons of the Northern Underworld day after day, the sect didn't allow such disciples to appear. But in the Yaoyin Clan, there were no such scruples. His predecessor, Yi Jiuyang's master, Tai Heng, was also a demon serpent.
It was also for this reason that after the Yao Yin Sect settled down here, there were many demons and beasts who desired to cultivate the Dao.
The group soon arrived outside the main hall. There were many demons and monsters on duty here. Half of them were men and women. The men were all tall and strong, and their facial features were sharp. The women all had silver hair and red eyes. Their skin was like carved jade. When they saw Wei Zihong and the other Elders coming over, they immediately knelt on the ground.
An elder spoke from the side, "Sect Master, these people were originally from the Jade Human Tribe of the Eastern Barren's Northern Border. A few days ago, the Eastern Barren Country was on an expedition and many of these tribes were wiped out. Some surrendered while others migrated to other places. This Jade Human Tribe is willing to submit to us. I have already inquired about them beforehand. Once these Jade Human Tribe worship a master, they will not betray us again. They are very useful, so I have ordered them to guard this palace."
Wei Zihong asked, "How many are there?"
The Elder Daoren said, "I heard that there were more than ten thousand, but it was not easy to travel between the two worlds. After they moved to my place, there were only about three thousand left."
The Jade People Tribe sacrificed so many of their clansmen to join the Lone Spoon Mountain. Part of the reason was because the Yaoyin Clan did not care about the background of their disciples. Of course, the main reason was because they found out from Gongnu Qiong that Wei Zihong was Zhang Yan's disciple. With such a great background, how could they not know?
Wei Zihong took another look, then entered the hall and sat down. He asked, "I have been in seclusion for dozens of years. Did anything big happen outside the mountain?"
A Principal Elder came forward and took out a letter. He said, "Sect Leader, this was sent by the Upper Sect several years ago. It was said that Sect Leader Spiritual Master would read it. Spiritual Master Spiritual Master did not do anything, so I did not dare to open it in private."
Wei Zihong took the letter and opened it. He smiled and said, "The Four Regions of the Mountain and Sea Sword Competition? Hmm, how can the Yaoyin Clan fall behind in such a grand event? We should go as well. "
Now that the Yaoyin Clan had a Spiritual Master like him, it could be considered as one of the big sects. Even among the sects of the Nine Continents, it had a place. Naturally, it was qualified to send disciples.
He put down the letter and ordered, "Summon all the disciples with outstanding aptitude to the hall. I need to test their skills."
