The two guards wanted to fight, but they were simple and honest people. They had a long history of making a living and would not do anything that would harm the interests of their guests.
However, they had never seen someone who could portray cowardice in such a righteous and dignified manner.
A few days later, Little White woke up and lost its master. Its uneasy howls attracted the attention of the mountain people. There was nothing unusual at the scene. There were no traces of Vajra Bears, wolves, or other wild beasts. There was not even a single thing left behind. Tents, clothes, or food. It was as if this person did not exist at all.
Everyone was still puzzled when the Infant Mother spoke for the first time.
"There's no need to look for him. He's already gone. There's no need to worry about his safety. There's nothing in the Cong Mountains that can threaten him."
A low-level cultivation world was indeed a low-level cultivation world. It was difficult to cultivate high-level cultivators in the mortal world. Similarly, the mountains, rivers, and lakes could not give birth to powerful mountain spirits and water monsters!
This was just an ordinary journey after all. An ordinary journey should be like an ordinary journey, not a journey for a nobody to become a god.
There was no need to waste time with the caravan for the last ten days of the journey. The mountains began to lower. When Lou Xiaoyi reached the middle of the sky, he could already see the plains and cities in the distance. That was the land of the Liang Kingdom.
He walked unhurriedly on this piece of land, no longer trying to practice the flying technique that he had just begun to master. He was very clear that the once-in-a-decade flying boat appointment was the time when the Foundation Establishment cultivators that had emerged in the last decade would gather in large numbers. The country of Liang during this time period was the center of cultivation in this part of the world. If he showed off his shallow cultivation methods here, he might be punished by others.
There were still four months left. It was enough for him to find Mount Wang Dingshan.
He did not even have to look for his way because there were always cultivators flying overhead to guide him. He was curious about his experience of rushing to Zhaoye City under the night sky. It was also a once-in-a-decade meeting at Phoenix Mountain, but he did not notice the abnormality in the sky. One could only imagine how slow he was at that time. The Foundation Establishment cultivators were flying in the sky, while the ants below were hurrying along. No one would even think of coming down to take a look.
It was also in line with reality. When an eagle flew across the sky, who would think of looking at what the ants below were busy with?
A month later, at the foot of Wang Ding Mountain, the scene was the same as at Phoenix Mountain.
This was not a market square, but a large open slope at the foot of Mount Wang Ding. It was somewhat similar to Mount Feng Huang. Lou Xiaoyi could roughly guess the significance of choosing such a terrain. It was wide enough and had a good view, allowing everyone to witness this grand occasion. This would help to stimulate the cultivators' motivation to work hard in cultivation. The most outstanding cultivators would be sent to the Upper Realm. It was the best gimmick.
Sporadic transactions had already begun, but they had yet to become mainstream, because what the cultivators were most concerned about right now was which cultivators would be chosen by Chao Bai. They were trying their best to analyze each person's growth, experience, strength, and potential, trying to find a pattern from it so that the future generations would have a direction to follow.
Of course, this mainly referred to the outstanding figures within the sect, and did not include rogue cultivators who grew up in the wild. However, this did not affect anything, because the number of rogue cultivators who could grow up on their own within ten years was extremely limited, and could be counted on one's fingers.
At this place, there was already no need to hide anything, and they could not hide anything. With the mediation of the sect, some grievances were also suppressed. At this place, boarding the flying ship was the most important thing, everything else was not important.
On the slope was the gathering of Qi Eating cultivators. They came here with the seniors of the sect to broaden their horizons, and also to exchange what they needed and make friends. Because the entire world's cultivation resources were limited, the cultivation world was not very developed, so it was far from the point of fighting over this. It was just like the slums of the mortal world, what was there to fight over? Everyone was poor!
The terrain behind the slope was a bit complicated, but they were the true protagonists of this gathering. There was also no competition between them, because the guests from Chao Chaoguang never set a limit on the number of people they could receive. If there were ten people who met the conditions, they would receive ten, if there were a hundred, they would receive a hundred. In history, the most they received was thirty-nine new Foundation Establishment cultivators, and the least they received was two. From this, it could be seen that Chao Bai's attitude was that they only looked at quality, and did not care about human feelings!
Lou Xiaoyi wandered around the slope for a few days, and did not have any gains. There were not many Foundation Establishment cultivation items on sale, and in fact, he could not afford them. He only had ten middle grade spirit stones in his pocket. When he was in the Qi Eating stage, he might be able to buy some cultivation methods and secret techniques, but when he reached Foundation Establishment, this amount of spirit stones was not enough.
Therefore, he also turned to the back of the slope and joined the circle that originally belonged to him. To be honest, he was not very confident, the disparity in all aspects made it impossible for him to do things with ease.
This was also his first time joining the circle. For a rogue cultivator, this circle was not very friendly, and it could not be said to be malicious, but the rejection was very obvious. Sects were the mainstream, and this was a fact that could not be changed.
Lou Xiaoyi was not angry. You are a self-taught person who did not even have a book, how can you be compared to those who came from famous universities? Fortunately, in the eyes of the Chao Chaoguang cultivators, the so-called orthodox sects of their world were no different from rogue cultivators. They were all ignorant country bumpkins from a low-level cultivation world, and the difference was limited.
Based on visual estimation, there were about thirty or so cultivators who had arrived, and these were only cultivators from countries far away. They were afraid that there would be delays on the way, so they chose to come early. No one would play the game of timing, and this was related to their future longevity, so they had to consider everything thoroughly.
It could be imagined that as the date got closer, the cultivators would increase by a large margin, and it could also be very accurate to determine how many Foundation Establishment cultivators would grow in their world in ten years.
Basically, they were all newly advanced Foundation Establishment cultivators, and very few would come a second time, because the Chao Chaoguang people would not consider how much their combat power had increased in the past ten years, how many spells they had learned, or how many powerful magic tools they had researched. These things were not worth mentioning in the eyes of the Chao Chaoguang people. As long as they went to the Chao Chaoguang, they would be able to make great progress in a short time.
They only looked at two things: age and potential … because only these two things could truly represent your future, and the height you could reach?
The only exception was the pill refiners. For pill refiners with special talent, they would not consider your age and potential, but the sects of this world were not stupid. No one would be willing to let a pill refiner who had painstakingly raised by the sect's resources to climb up the social ladder, so they all had oaths.
To Lou Xiaoyi, he did not have an advantage in terms of age. He looked young, but the others were really young! As for potential, how would he know what his potential was like? He did not even know the specific balance of the five elements in his heart, let alone others!
