The flying boat passed through the light screen, and the mist in front of them instantly vanished, revealing the true face of the Nine-tailed Mountain in front of everyone.
The disciples were excited in the bubbling boats.
Although the mountain peak of the Nine-tailed Mountain was not tall, the scenery was extraordinary.
All things were overflowing with vitality, and strangely wonderful flowers and herbs filled the surroundings. Under the afterglow of the setting sun, it seemed even more elegant and refined.
In contrast, the construction site on the mountaintop gave off a rundown vibe.
However, Ye Qiu had already told everyone that the sect was undergoing construction, so everyone knew what to expect.
“Today’s Nine-tailed Mountain seems especially beautiful!” Ye Qiu was also surprised, but he didn’t think much about it.
It must be due to the grand array formation.
He rode the flying boat slowly towards the Daoist temple on the top of the Nine-tailed Mountain.
“Ji Qinglan, you’ve really benefited from this disaster!” Elder Nie suddenly remarked, his voice slightly enlivened.
Ji Qinglan was somewhat puzzled. “Could it be that there’s really something special about this sect!”
In fact, Ji Qinglan also sensed earlier that the spiritual energy here seemed especially rich.
“That’s right. The Dao fate here is extremely rich. Just now, I almost thought that I had arrived in the Immortal Domain. This must be a Holy Land! No wonder they could nurture a freakish genius like Li Yu! You’re really lucky this time. Cultivating here for a year is equivalent to cultivating for at least ten years!” Old Nie’s voice became increasingly excited.
Hearing Elder Nie’s words, Ji Qinglan’s depressed gaze instantly brightened up, and he became excited.
A year equivalent to ten years? That’s unbelievable!
Is this the secret to Li Yu’s power?
In that case, if I cultivate here, will I be able to defeat Li Yu one day?
Though that day might be far, Ji Qinglan’s heart was ignited with the fighting spirit and hope again.
…
After the disciples arrived at the Nine-tailed Mountain, they noticed how extraordinary the place was.
The air was filled with energy that made one feel as if they were bathed in a spring breeze and glowed with vitality, nourishing their bodies and bones.
It was like bathing in a relaxing hot spring.
Moreover, many of these disciples had a foundation in cultivation. There were even some disciples from cultivation families.
Therefore, they could clearly sense that the spirit energy on Nine-tailed Mountain was extremely dense as if they were among the countless spirit stones.
Even without practicing breathing exercises, the spiritual energy would still drill into the disciples’ bodies and transform their meridians. It was miraculous.
“I didn’t expect that there would be such a holy land in our Great Xia Dynasty!”
“That’s right. My father once took me to the Jade Pure Dao Sect. Even there, it’s far inferior to our Qingyun Sect!”
“We’ve really made the right choice! This is simply a blessed land!” All the disciples were thrilled.
At this moment, Li Yu, Li Qingyun, and Wu Chang walked over.
Ye Qiu immediately bowed respectfully. “Greetings, Sect Master. Greetings, Eldest Senior Brother!”
The disciples followed his example and cupped their hands in unison. “Greetings, Sect Master. Greetings, Eldest Senior Brother!”
Li Qingyun looked at the thousand-plus disciples and nodded slightly with a serious expression. There was an awe-inspiring aura, and he had the bearing of an expert. Merely his demeanor was worthy of respect.
Furthermore, there was an unusual-looking Wu Chang beside him. He was like a ghost whose figure was shrouded in a robe, and his two pupils that were like ghost flames flickered with a faint glow.
Soon, Li Qingyun welcomed the new disciples and gave a passionate speech.
The disciples were fired up and overwhelmed by emotions.
All of them seemed as if they were ready to sacrifice their lives for the sect’s development.
Even Li Yu could not help but want to cheer for his father.
As expected of a Holy Son from the Divine Firmament Holy Land, his speech was at the top of the game.
This assembly was even better than Captain America’s!
Under Li Qingyun’s influence (brainwashing), these young disciples even felt that using the ground as a bed and the sky as a blanket was a form of supreme cultivation.
It was their first step in pursuing Li Yu’s footsteps.
A few days later, the imperial flying boat arrived majestically. Murong Xingqiao personally led the way and sent the wealth as well as thousands of craftsmen and many construction materials rewarded by the emperor to the Qingyun Sect.
Other than cultivation, the disciples spent most of their time on the construction of the sect.
Coupled with the effect of the Ancient Dao Fortune Tree, it greatly increased the efficiency of the craftsmen. This sped up the progress of the project by several times.
…
At the same time, at the border of the Great Xia Dynasty and the Xi Liang Dynasty, there was the sound of drums and thunder, the neighing of war horses, the flapping of flags, and the clanging of armor.
The Xi Liang army was like a black cloud that kept closing in on the Great Xia Dynasty’s army.
However, the roars from the Great Xia Dynasty’s side were equally earth-shattering. The soldiers were on high alert, and their gazes were firm. Their auras were magnificent, and they had no intention of retreating.
After hearing about Ji Qinglan’s incident, the Xi Liang emperor was furious.
He directly sent an army to the borders and pressured the Great Xia Dynasty to return Ji Qinglan to Xi Liang.
Unexpectedly, after a few days, the Great Xia Dynasty did not give a satisfactory answer. Instead, they gathered their troops and confronted the Xi Liang army, not backing down at all.
What surprised the Xi Liang army more was that the disorganized brisket army was now high in morale with gusto in their voices.
Everyone was united, and a terrifying aura had gathered.
The unified roars made the soldiers of the Xi Liang Dynasty shudder.
“Is the Great Xia Dynasty seriously going to fight us to the death this time?”
“F*ck, where did they get the courage from? Every time they were pressured by our army, they had always taken the initiative to express goodwill and seek peace! They even ceded land and compensated us. Why have these cowards taken the wrong medicine today? Aren’t they afraid of death?”
“Humph, then we’ll beat them until they submit!” The generals of the Xi Liang Dynasty discussed.
…
Not long after Murong Xingqiao left the Qingyun Sect, two figures flew over from afar, but they were blocked by the Protective Mountain Array.
Of the two, one had a cold appearance and a spicy figure, and the other had white hair and a youthful appearance, giving off a sage-like aura.
They were Ji Qinglan’s guardian, Yu Feng, and her master, Perfected Qingfeng.
Perfected Qingfeng was the guardian of the Xi Liang Dynasty. He was at the Soul Formation Intermediate Stage and was one of the top five experts of the Xi Liang Dynasty.
At the moment, Ji Qinglan had just finished a large cultivation cycle in the Daoist temple. He opened his eyes filled with joy.
“Elder Nie is right. This Qingyun Sect is really a Holy Land for cultivation. The cultivation speed here is really advancing by leaps and bounds.”
Ji Qinglan was thrilled.
His cultivation level had increased significantly over the past few days. It was more than ten times faster than before.
Hence, the current Ji Qinglan was no longer uncomfortable in his heart. He no longer felt that entering the Qingyun Sect was a form of humiliation.
Instead, it was like what Elder Nie had said. It was a blessing in disguise for him to cultivate here.
Even if Li Yu chased him away now, he was unwilling to leave.
At this moment, a familiar voice suddenly sounded in the air. “Your Highness, Yufeng requests an audience!”
Ji Qinglan was startled. He looked up and indeed saw Yu Feng and Perfected Qingfeng standing outside the grand array’s light screen in the distance.
Ji Qinglan’s figure flashed and flew over directly, asking, “Senior Qingfeng, Yufeng, why are you two here?”
The arrival of Yu Feng and Perfected Qingfeng attracted the attention of everyone from the Qingyun Sect, including Li Yu.
“Your Highness, His Majesty has already sent out his troops. If the Great Xia Dynasty still refuses to free you, our Xi Liang army will invade Great Xia and attack Nan’an City! Our Xi Liang experts will also flatten this Nine-tailed Mountain!” Yu Feng said word by word with murderous eyes.
