Time passed very quickly, and the day of the Floating Spirit Temple's opening arrived in the blink of an eye.
Hayashikawa had been staying in the Qing Xian Restaurant for the past few days, but he hadn't been slacking off. Taking advantage of the large number of prodigies gathered in Qilin City, he had challenged many experts and raised his ranking back to first place. After all, this ranking would be very useful when the Floating Spirit Temple opened later on.
On this day, there was only one day left before the Floating Spirit Temple opened. Everyone began to move towards the center of the continent!
The entrance to the Floating Spirit Temple wasn't fixed at a fixed location. It was different every time it appeared, but it could be roughly confirmed that it was within a few hundred kilometers of the Elder's Altar. Thus, everyone was currently moving towards the Elder's Altar.
After exiting Qilin City and heading east, they could see the towering pyramid altar in about half a day's journey. Compared to the replica in the Misty Fairy Mansion, the real Elder's Altar was more majestic and domineering. It had a natural feel to it.
On the horizon, the dark, ancient altar stood on the ground, exuding an ancient and ancient aura. The entire altar was shaped like a pyramid, with a radius of nearly a hundred kilometers. Waves of spiritual energy slowly emanated from it like an ocean. Transparent ripples constantly rippled outwards, reverberating throughout the entire Floating Spirit Region.
Due to its height, the cultivators of the Floating Spirit Region could clearly see the enormous structure that had stood in the Floating Spirit Region for countless years even from a great distance away. It was like a mountain that would never change. It was the symbol of the Floating Spirit Region and the landmark of the entire continent!
Hayashikawa followed the crowd of cultivators and soon arrived at the outer area of the Floating Spirit Temple. This was the limit. As the landmark of the Floating Spirit Region, the Elder's Altar wasn't accessible to just anyone. Only those from the Floating Spirit Temple could enter. Thus, there was a special restricted area around the Elder's Altar. Everyone could only go as far as they could go.
Hayashikawa floated in the sky, wearing a black cloak with red clouds. He held the Orange Cat in his arms as he looked at the Elder's Altar in the distance. There was no one around him. Compared to the vast crowd of cultivators from the other major powers, he appeared very frail and out of place!
However, it was precisely this person who occupied the area at the very front of the cultivators of the Floating Spirit Region. Apart from Hayashikawa, those who could stand here were all the most powerful cultivators of the Floating Spirit Region, or cultivators at the Soul Formation stage and above!
Looking at the two sides, Young Master Gui of the Celestial Sect, Zhang Shaoyang of the Nine Star Peak, Yang Ming of the Pure Sun Sect, and other familiar faces were there, and behind them was a huge group of cultivators. Obviously, these were the sects they belonged to, and the ones leading these people were all powerful cultivators of the Divine Transformation Stage. They were the sect masters of the major sects.
Hayashikawa roughly sensed that these people were all at the Soul Formation stage or even the Soul Formation stage. They were all very powerful. If not for the fact that they had already surpassed the age limit for entering the Floating Spirit Temple, they would definitely be the main force exploring the Floating Spirit Temple. Unfortunately, time was unforgiving. Although their cultivations were powerful, they were already over fifty years old!
However, when the sect masters of the various sects were young, they had all entered the Floating Spirit Temple at one point or another. For them to be able to reach their current positions, it could be said that the insights they gained in the Floating Spirit Temple were indispensable. Some of them had even soared to the heavens!
Apart from that, the prodigies from Nakagawa were gathered in another direction. The three leading them were the Three Heroes Of Nakagawa, Shangguan Dié, Chen Xiao, and Huang Tong. The three of them had all reached the Soul Formation stage, so they deserved to stand here! However, even if they weren't at the Soul Formation stage, no one dared to say anything. After all, the power of Nakagawa was there for all to see. Unless one didn't want to live, no one was willing to provoke these people from the Crown Prince Faction.
Among the crowd, Hayashikawa didn't see anyone from the Floating Spirit Temple. Clearly, these people were in the forbidden area and would only appear when the Floating Spirit Temple truly opened.
Apart from these people, there were also a few extremely powerful rogue cultivators. Because they didn't have any backing, most of these people had already discussed their cooperation before the temple opened. At this moment, there were many small groups standing here. Of course, only one group could stand at the very front, and it was not far from Hayashikawa.
The person leading this group was a young cultivator named Jingjie. He didn't look very old, but it was very difficult for cultivators to judge age from appearance. This person was actually 49 years old, and his cultivation was at the Mid Soul Formation stage!
Hayashikawa recognized this person because the information given to him by the Dayin Tower had specifically marked this person's information. If he wasn't mistaken, this person's cultivation was the highest in the Floating Spirit Temple this time.
Speaking of which, this person was quite lucky. If the Floating Spirit Temple opened a year later, this person wouldn't have been able to enter. He could be considered to have waited until the last moment to enter.
Beside this person, there were a few rogue cultivators at the Early Soul Formation stage. They were all rather old compared to the other prodigies, who were in their twenties.
Time flowed by, and everyone waited quietly.
During this time, people would occasionally look up at Hayashikawa, who occupied a corner of the sky by himself, and whispered to each other.
In this half a month, apart from challenging prodigies to raise his ranking, Hayashikawa had always been in the Qing Xian Restaurant. There were many people who wanted to rope him in. That rogue cultivator Jingjie and Childe Remains had come more than once. Unfortunately, Hayashikawa hadn't agreed to anyone's request.
Even so, no one dared to complain about Hayashikawa! As Nakagawa Tenjiao appeared in the Floating Spirit Region in large numbers, news of what had happened seven years ago slowly spread. The seven years of seclusion at the top floor of the Misty Fairy Mansion had truly shocked everyone.
The Blue Dragon's strength had become something that everyone was curious about, but they couldn't fathom.
In any case, at this critical juncture, his existence had become a force that could influence the entire situation. Even if they couldn't rope him in, they couldn't become his enemy. This was the consensus of everyone! It was also because of this consensus that Hayashikawa had swindled a lot of Heavenly Wine. In any case, there were people who wanted to rope him in, so he didn't reject any of their gifts. He accepted whatever he could. Basically, all of the Heavenly Wine in the Floating Spirit Region had entered Hayashikawa's stomach. Of course, there was also the Tangerine!
Four hours later, Hayashikawa's eyes suddenly flickered as he looked towards the sky. After his gaze froze for a few breaths, everyone else seemed to have discovered something and looked towards the sky as well.
The space began to distort violently, and not long after, it was directly torn apart. An old man dressed in black from the Floating Spirit Hall strode out. Powerful fluctuations of cultivation instantly pressed down on the entire area. The pressure that belonged to a Void Refining Stage cultivator wreaked havoc on the entire area. Everyone revealed a look of reverence and slowly bowed. This was the respect they had for a powerhouse!
However, there was one person who was surprised. This person was Blue Dragon, because he didn't feel any pressure descending. It was as if the aura released by the old man was deliberately avoiding him!
Tangerine stretched lazily and looked at the old man in the sky with her golden eyes. Then, she let out a soft cry and twisted her body in Hayashikawa's arms to find a comfortable position. She closed her eyes again and went back to sleep!
