Fifteen kilometers away from the entrance of the Great Desolate Mountain, in a quiet forest, a streak of white light broke the silence of the night.
After the light dissipated, two figures, one big and one small, appeared. They were only half the height of an adult and looked like two half-grown children. The two of them pointed at the 100-feet-wide spatial gap in the distance. Then, with a flash, they used an escape technique and rushed toward the gap.
After ten breaths of time, the two of them disappeared into the vortex. The violent astral winds were only interrupted for a moment before continuing to blow. Not far away, the Xuan Ling Sect cultivators in charge of monitoring the situation did not notice the two of them entering the vortex.
At this moment, Yi Tian had just arrived at the Xuan Ling Sect's encampment. Dongfang Lingyun was already waiting for him. After greeting each other, Yi Tian learned that Nangong Ba and Xuan Jianxin were still in charge of the construction of Dinghai City's defenses. Old Man Iron Sword went into seclusion after returning to the mountain, so only Dongfang Lingyun and himself could take charge of the situation.
After sitting down, Dongfang Lingyun gave a brief introduction of the situation, "Junior Martial Brother came at the right time. The entrance to the Great Desolate Mountain is open, but only Yuanying cultivators can enter. I also sent people to monitor it. Right now, only the subordinates of the Myriad Eagle King, Zhi Ying, and the others can enter together."
"Then let's not delay, let's take action," Yi Tian replied.
Dongfang Lingyun nodded and said, "Alright, let me send a message to Zhi Ying and the others." Then he took out a jade talisman and wrote a few words before activating it.
Soon after, two rays of light flashed out from the Xuan Ling Sect encampment and flew toward the spatial entrance of the Great Desolate Mountain. After flying to a distance of nearly 50 miles, Yi Tiantian slowly opened the protective barrier, allowing the sharp astral winds to blow on it. He turned around and saw Dongfang Lingyun looking at him in shock. It turned out that he had to rely on the barrier to resist the astral winds from fifty kilometers away.
In comparison, Dongfang Lingyun had already stayed in the middle stage of Yuanying for four to five hundred years, but in terms of strength, he was actually much weaker than himself.
When the two of them approached the gap, three more escape lights flew over from a hundred miles behind them. Yi Tian scanned them with his Divine Sense and recognized that they were Ambassador Wisdom Eagle and his group.
After they received Dongfang Lingyun's message, they rushed over as well. Although everyone kept in contact with each other on the surface, they still went their separate ways after entering. Only when they truly encountered trouble that they could not deal with would they join hands.
The wind that blew out from the gap brought with it bursts of spiritual pressure and blew down all the trees within a hundred miles. When Yi Tian arrived at the gap, he found that the power of the wind was not inferior to a Yuanying cultivator's full strength attack.
After stabilizing the protective shield with a little bit of energy, Yi Tian flashed through the gap in the howling astral wind. Seeing that, Dongfang Lingyun gritted his teeth and used his cultivation technique to resist the astral wind as he followed behind Yi Tian and rushed in.
After flashing in, Yi Tian felt the sky and earth spinning, and his mind seemed to have been muddled for a moment. After stabilizing his body, he realized that he had arrived at the foot of a mountain. Looking up, there was a mountain peak that was thousands of meters tall that pierced into the clouds. At the foot of the mountain, there were a few steps that led to the depths of the Taihuang Mountain.
When Yi Tian saw this, his face lit up with joy. Just as he was about to get up and leave, he suddenly felt his body become several times heavier. When he used his escape technique, he was only able to fly a few dozen feet above the ground.
After slowly circulating his energy, he realized that this place was several times heavier than the outside world. Often, some inadvertent movements would require him to circulate his energy slightly.
Dongfang Lingyun, who was at the side, was in an even worse state. After sitting cross-legged for a while, he gradually found the feeling.
Then, he said, "Junior Brother's cultivation is still exquisite. In that case, you should enter the mountain first. I still need to adjust my breathing to adapt to the environment of the Taihuang Mountain."
Yi Tian nodded and replied, "In that case, Junior Brother will explore first. Senior Brother also needs to keep in touch. If you encounter any situation, try to avoid it. We'll discuss it after Junior Brother meets up." With that, he stood up and chose to walk up the stairs.
At the same time, at the entrance of the outside world, Ambassador Zhiying rushed over with his two subordinates and also rushed in while staring at the astral wind. Not long after they entered, another three or four streaks of light flew over from the horizon and entered the gap at the same time.
The many Jin Dan cultivators who were waiting in the surroundings could only watch helplessly as their seniors went in to search for opportunities. Suddenly, the astral wind that blew out of the gap was not as strong as before. This caused the surrounding Jin Dan cultivators to become eager to give it a try. After a while, the astral wind clearly weakened. With a 'whoosh', a figure flew out and stared at the astral wind as he rushed towards the gap.
With someone taking the lead, the cultivators behind all saw it. In an instant, no less than a hundred Jin Dan cultivators rushed over and entered the gap. Faced with the opportunity in front of them, anyone would want to try their luck. Even many cultivators from the Six Sects followed in.
As for now, Yi Tian was walking alone in a passageway that led into the mountain. This place seemed to be a blessed land of some sect, but it was more like it was cut out by space. Other than the gravity being several times higher than the outside world, there was nothing else out of the ordinary. The spiritual energy in the surroundings was so dense that it was comparable to the best caves in the blessed lands of the Six Sects.
After walking for a while, Yi Tian suddenly frowned. This was because his divine sense seemed to have sensed hundreds of waves of spiritual pressure at the entrance behind him. Most of them were Jin Dan cultivators. He thought to himself, 'How could Jin Dan cultivators be able to enter? I wonder what happened at the entrance of the Great Desolate Mountain.'
Just as he was thinking, a miserable cry suddenly sounded from the depths of the Great Desolate Mountain, causing one's heart to tremble uncontrollably. Yi Tian frowned and looked ahead. He thought to himself, 'How could someone enter before me? It seems like they've met with some trouble.'
However, those who were able to enter before him should be cultivators in the middle stage of the Yuanying Realm. If even they had met with trouble, one could imagine what they had encountered.
The wailing lasted for a quarter of an hour before it gradually stopped. Yi Tian immediately perked up and hurriedly walked forward, wanting to find out what was going on.
After walking for a few miles, Yi Tian suddenly felt that there were several waves of demonic qi emerging from the depths of the Great Desolate Mountain. This situation was similar to what he had encountered in his memory. In the blink of an eye, he recalled the situation in the past hundred years. Only then did he realize that part of the soul of the Demon Race's vanguard, Guan Tu Lie, in the depths of the South Sea had relied on this demonic qi to quickly recover his strength.
At that time, even Shangguan Wufeng of the Wise King Path had fallen for it. Under the temptation of the demonic qi, he had accepted the infusion of demonic qi and turned into a demonic cultivator.
Without further ado, Yi Tian was shocked. There was definitely a problem here. The only thing he could do now was to inform Dongfang Lingyun first and then find Qi Zhiying and the others to think of a way.
