Over the past few days, peerless experts had started to appear in the northern region of the Northern Wei Empire. People would occasionally see divine rainbows flying across the sky.
There were more and more cultivators in Beiling City. There was a rumor circulating among the cultivators that someone had discovered a spirit vein in the Northern Lands. It was a spirit land that had yet to be developed.
This wasn't a baseless rumor. The appearance of peerless experts in the Northern Lands was a very good proof.
Guest Cloud Inn was one of the best inns in the Northern Mountain City. However, in the Northern Mountain City where cultivators gathered, this place seemed a bit deserted.
This inn had been completely booked by a cultivation family from the east. The cultivators who entered and left the inn were only disciples of this family or cultivators who were on good terms with this family.
There was once a cultivator who was dissatisfied with the fact that the people of this clan occupied this inn all by themselves and came to cause trouble. However, he was thrown out of the inn by an old man who looked like an old servant and wore a small green robe.
After the old man showed off his skills, no one doubted the strength of this family from the East anymore and no one came to cause trouble.
In a courtyard at the back of the inn, the accumulated snow had already been cleared away. There were some cold-resistant plants planted in the courtyard, and they were still green.
The courtyard wasn't big, but everything that should be there could be seen here. There was a pavilion in the fake mountain. The pavilion was covered in a thick layer of snow and a few icicles could be seen hanging down from the roof.
There was a pond next to the pavilion, but strangely, the water in the pond wasn't frozen in the cold Northern Lands. One could even see the figures of koi fishes swimming in the water.
There were four people sitting at the stone table in the pavilion, three men and one woman.
"Boss Dongfang, which senior from the Dongfang family came to the Northern Lands?" A middle-aged man with silver hair and a black blade on his back asked.
Boss Dongfang wasn't really the boss of the Dongfang family. It was just a title. There were many people in the Dongfang family who were stronger than Boss Dongfang.
In terms of strength, Boss Dongfang would be called Boss Dongfang in the Dongfang family.
However, it had to be said that Boss Dongfang was an expert with great potential in the Dongfang family. With his cultivation at the 8th Sky of the Ascended Realm, Boss Dongfang was highly regarded by the upper echelons of the family.
"This is not something I can know." Eldest Brother Dongfang replied calmly. Even though he was a disciple with great potential, he had yet to truly step into the core of the Dongfang family.
"Old Black, it seems like your Saber Emperor's Bloodline is determined to obtain that spiritual land!" Eldest Brother Dongfang suddenly looked at the middle-aged man with a profound gaze.
"Humph! I wonder which bastard leaked the news, causing all the major powers to want a piece of the pie. " The middle-aged man whom Boss Dongfang had addressed as Old Black said in a deep voice. His gaze inadvertently swept over the white-clothed woman beside him.
"Song Wentian, what do you mean by this? Could it be that you suspect that we leaked the news?" Song Wentian's gaze didn't escape the white-clothed woman's notice. She immediately glared at Song Wentian and shouted.
"Did I say you guys!?" The middle-aged man with the saber on his back, Song Wentian, frowned and said unhappily, "Although my Saber Emperor's Bloodline does not have many people like you, I, Black Saber Song Wentian, am not a pushover."
The atmosphere in the pavilion immediately became tense as the two of them confronted each other with equal harshness.
"Alright, both of you should speak less. None of us wish to see such a thing happen." Eldest Brother Dongfang said. He was also extremely gloomy. Originally, this was a matter between the three clans. Now, all the major powers of the Teng Long Continent had interfered.
Song Wentian and Beitang Yue of the Beitang Clan seemed to dislike each other. Whenever they were together, they would mock and ridicule each other. There were a few times when the two of them almost started fighting.
After hearing Eldest Brother Dongfang's words, everyone in the pavilion had a bad premonition. For the sake of a spiritual land, all the major powers would be unscrupulous. Fighting was unavoidable.
It was currently noon. The weather today was very good. The sun was shining brightly. However, the sunlight didn't seem to be able to dispel the cold that enveloped the northern region.
Suddenly, Eldest Brother Dongfang sensed something and immediately left the pavilion. When he walked out of the courtyard, Beitang Yue and the others couldn't help but feel surprised.
However, immediately after, Beitang Yue and Beitang Yi also received a message from their clan. They hurriedly left the inn, leaving only the Saber Emperor's successor, Song Wentian, in the pavilion.
"Hmph! They are all a bunch of old and cunning fellows! "Song Wentian sneered. Then, he stood up and was about to leave.
At this moment, a mysterious figure silently appeared in the pavilion without any warning. Song Wentian almost jumped in fright. His right hand instinctively grabbed the hilt of the saber behind him.
"When did you become so timid?" The person who came said indifferently. The mysterious person who suddenly appeared in front of Song Wentian seemed to be shrouded in a hazy white mist. It gave people the feeling that they were looking at flowers through the mist.
When Song Wentian heard this, the fear in his heart immediately disappeared. He calmed himself down and bowed to the person, "Disciple Song Wentian greets Martial Uncle."
The person directly sat down beside the stone table and said indifferently, "The information you sent back seems to be wrong. I went to take a look, but I didn't find any spiritual land."
Although the person Song Wentian called Martial Uncle spoke in a calm tone, he unintentionally revealed a sharp aura that was like the edge of a blade. It made Song Wentian feel as if a divine weapon was pressed against his throat.
"This … How is this possible?" Song Wentian was shocked. His voice trembled. This Martial Uncle was not a kind person. If he misunderstood that Song Wentian had lied to him, the consequences would be dire.
When he thought of this, a layer of cold sweat appeared on Song Wentian's forehead.
"That's not impossible. According to the information you sent back, that place isn't an ownerless land. I'm afraid that someone used their power to hide that spiritual land." That person's tone was still calm, as if he was talking about something insignificant.
"Just now, Big Brother Dongfang and Beitang Yue left in a hurry." Song Wentian said carefully.
"Yes! I think those old fellows went to ask them questions. You have to be careful. This is a very special time. Even I don't know how many old fellows have come to the Northern Lands. If you offend those old fellows, even I won't be able to save you! "The mysterious person said.
"Thank you for the reminder, Martial Uncle!" Song Wentian replied respectfully.
The mysterious person did not say anything else. His figure immediately disappeared from the pavilion. Just like when he had first appeared, he had left without a sound.
Song Wentian wiped away the cold sweat on his forehead. His entire body seemed to collapse as he slumped onto the stone bench. This Martial Uncle of his was a temperamental person. Every time he saw him, he would have to be extremely careful when dealing with him.
Just as the mysterious person left, a blurry figure charged out from another courtyard behind the inn. He stood high up in the sky and looked in all directions with a pair of eyes.
"I seem to sense the Old Saber Monster's aura …" The person scanned his surroundings but did not find any trace of the mysterious person. He then rushed down to the courtyard below.
A faint and illusory figure stood in the sea of clouds in the distance, watching the scene coldly. "I didn't think that the Old Saber Monster and Dongfang Lie would also come to Beiling City."
The person murmured to himself. Then, his figure disappeared into the sea of clouds.
The bitter cold Northern Lands was no longer peaceful. Beiling City was no longer deserted. At this moment, the entire Northern Lands was filled with turbulent undercurrents. Many great figures had turned their attention to this place.
The Pill Cauldron's Paradise was isolated from the rest of the world. Although countless cultivators from the Northern Lands had entered and there was no lack of peerless experts among them, it was difficult for them to break the peace of the Pill Cauldron's Paradise.
The forest that Beitang Yue and the others had inadvertently entered seemed to have disappeared from the world. The Dongfang Family, the Beitang Family, and the Saber Emperor's bloodline had sent many experts into the depths of the snow forest. However, they could no longer find the forest that was filled with roaring beasts.
Some people began to doubt the reliability of the spiritual land.
However, the people from the Dongfang Family and the Beitang Family knew that the spiritual land definitely existed. Eldest Brother Dongfang, Beitang Yue, and the others would never dare to lie to the higher-ups of their families.
The more they could not find the spiritual land, the more shocked the experts from the three families became. The spiritual land had an owner. It was obvious that someone with great power had hidden the spiritual land.
Forcefully concealing an entire spiritual land, this sort of method was too terrifying.
No one knew that the person who had hidden the spiritual land was not an expert with great power as the experts from the Beitang Family and the Dongfang Family had imagined.
There was a terrifying formation guarding the periphery of the Pill Cauldron Paradise. Even a Demigod would not be able to break through the formation. If the owner did not activate the formation, no one could enter the Pill Cauldron Paradise.
Gu Fei, Eldest Brother Dongfang, and the others who had been chasing him could be said to be very lucky. The successor of the Pill Cauldron School, Yan 'er, had only stopped the operation of the formation for fun. That was why they could enter the periphery of the Pill Cauldron Paradise.
When Yan 'er activated the formation again, no one could find the Pill Cauldron Paradise. Even if Eldest Brother Dongfang and the others had left marks along the way, it was still useless.
The scenery of the Pill Cauldron Paradise was picturesque. It was like a paradise. However, not every place in the Pill Cauldron Paradise had such a relaxing and joyful scene.
In a corner of the Pill Cauldron Paradise, there was a small barren valley. Within the valley, there was nothing but rocks that were not covered by vegetation.
In the depths of the valley, there was a high platform made of white jade. In the sky, there were mysterious runes engraved on it. An ancient bronze cauldron stood on the white jade platform.
At this time, the top of the ancient bronze cauldron on the high platform was emitting wisps of hot air. It seemed that something was being refined in the cauldron. However, there was no flame under the cauldron. The hot air seemed to be coming from the ancient bronze cauldron.
