Chapter 563: Chapter 561: Liyang Region_1
The sea of clouds was turbulent, an imposing palace seemed to appear and disappear within it.
The palace was divided into nine layers, each layer extremely spacious. The floor and the walls were covered with profound and obscure array patterns. Numerous cultivators went in and out from these set ups. On the highest two layers, even the traces of Golden Core Real People could be seen.
On the sixth layer, in comparison to the lower layers, the array patterns here seemed even older and more mottled, giving off a feeling of antiquity.
On the edge of the formations, two others were inspecting the array patterns.
A slim old man and a graceful woman, both in the Foundation Establishment Late-term cultivation level.
On ordinary days, they often came here to maintain this layer’s Ancient Teleportation Array, preventing accidental damage to the array.
Suddenly, thousands of array patterns started to glow slightly, a massive amount of spiritual power was gathering from around towards the centre of the ancient array.
“Normally, it’s challenging for this Ancient Teleportation Array to open even one layer in a month, but today it’s already the second batch, quite bizarre.”
The lean old man chuckled lightly.
“Like before, it should also be from the East Wasteland to the Liyang Region.”
The attractive woman speculated. The two stepped back and watched as countless array patterns moved about.
Ten figures appeared at the center of the formation, all with their eyes closed, seeming to be in a state of unconsciousness.
“This Ancient Teleportation Array is really too lengthy. At last, we’ve reached the other side of the array.”
Lu Xuan couldn’t help but sigh aloud, secretly exploring his surroundings with his spiritual sense.
Through the lengthy teleportation, despite his sharp spiritual sense and robust physical body, he still felt uncomfortable.
He felt dizzy, his blood roiling, only calming down after a dozen or so breaths.
“No wonder the sect doesn’t allow outer sect disciples at the Qi Practicing Stage to enter the Ancient Teleportation Array. With their spiritual sense and physical body, they probably wouldn’t be able to withstand it for long. They could likely suffer damage to their divine souls or destruction of their physical bodies inside the formation.”
Lu Xuan thought inwardly, not in any rush to show that he had already regained consciousness.
He was the second batch of inner sect disciples to enter the Ancient Teleportation Array, a total of ten people.
Among the ten, their cultivation was generally at the Foundation Establishment Late-term or Foundation Establishment Perfect, with only him at the Foundation Establishment Mid-term.
Among them was someone familiar, Shen Ye from the Sword Hall, whom Lu Xuan became acquainted with when he was still in the Qi Practicing Stage. Due to the Sword Grass, they became good friends, and Shen Ye took care of him a lot normally.
There was another person he’d met a few times, a core alchemist from the Dan Palace.
For the remaining seven, due to Lu Xuan staying mostly in his cave, he only recognized four and wasn’t acquainted with any of them.
Those that were selected as the second batch of teleportees all had quite impressive backgrounds. They either had high cultivation levels or were gifted. Otherwise, they were offspring of some Nascent Soul True Monarch or a Golden Core Real Person.
After a while, the ten people woke up one after the other. Being the weakest in the group, Lu Xuan naturally woke up last.
“Welcome all fellow cultivators to the Liyang region of Central State. This place is the teleportation hall of Dongyuan City.”
An ancient voice sounded in the ears of the ten people.
Lu Xuan and the others paid their respects to the two and asked some basic information about this Dongyuan City in the Liyang Region, before leaving the palace together.
Once they got outside the palace, their view became immensely unobstructed.
Grand buildings towered into the sky, piercing the clouds. Countless Sword Lights and Flying Boat Magical Tools passed before their eyes. The number of Foundation Establishment Cultivators they saw was even more than the entire number of inner sect disciples in the Sky Sword Sect.
“Indeed, it’s the cultivation paradise in Cloud Void Domain, Central State.”
A tall middle-aged man in the Foundation Establishment Perfect Realm took a deep breath and exclaimed.
“Fellow brothers, now that we are in Central State, what are your plans?”
He asked aloud.
“My ancestor has a Nascent Soul friend in Liyang Region. Before leaving, he gave me a token and told me to enter under his discipleship.”
“However, only one person is eligible to enter, so I won’t be able to stay with you. You all should take care of yourselves.”
A young man with a proud expression walked out, glanced left and right at Lu Xuan and others, and invoking his Flying Boat Magical Tool, disappeared into the sky in the blink of an eye.
“What’s he showing off for? Just because he has a Nascent Soul Old Ancestor?”
“Didn’t see your Old Ancestor taking you to Canglan Realm, did we?”
A late-stage Foundation Establishment Cultivator spat lightly behind him.
Lu Xuan and others exchange glances.
“Fellow elder and junior brothers, this place is not the Sky Sword Sect. Our cultivation levels are only mediocre here. In terms of background, in some sense, we have become loose cultivators. Why don’t we band together and look out for each other?”
The middle-aged Cultivator who had voiced questions earlier proposed to group everyone together.
Soon, four people responded, seeing no movement from the others, these five withdrew together.
Of the remaining four, two left on their own. Lu Xuan noticed that they headed in the same direction as the arrogant youth from before.
“Junior Brother Lu, I didn’t expect to end up venturing into the Central State Continent with you this time.”
Soon only Lu Xuan and Shen Ye remained in the field.
“Good to see you, Brother Shen.”
Lu Xuan also sighed, bemoaning the unpredictability of life.
“Sadly, neither of us have a Nascent Soul Old Ancestor backing us, we can only rely on ourselves.”
A hint of self-mockery floated on the face of the gentle-mannered Shen Ye.
“Brother Shen, was that cultivator just now being so arrogant because he doesn’t fear being pursued?”
Lu Xuan asked curiously.
“The descendants of the Nascent Soul Old Ancestor will always have a few powerful protective treasures on them. Even if their tokens get snatched away, joining a sect led by a Primordial Infant True Monarch won’t be that straightforward.”
“Leaving that aside, just asking for the information on our Nascent Soul Real Person from our sect would be enough.”
“That’s true.”
Lu Xuan nodded in agreement. Given his usual prudence, he naturally disapproved of the arrogant behavior of the descendant of the Primordial Infant True Monarch just now.
“Does Junior Brother Lu have any plans?”
The two of them left the Transmission Hall together.
“To tell you the truth, Brother Shen, I’m not sure yet.”
“I might join a Sect power or become a loose cultivator. We’ll decide after observing for a while and getting a better understanding of this Liyang Region.”
“However, given my talent as a Spirit Plant Master, it should be easy for me to make a living in the Liyang Region.”
Lu Xuan said with a smile.
“Haha, Junior Brother Lu, you are too modest. Any sect in need of a Spirit Plant Master would welcome you with open arms.”
Shen Ye laughed heartily.
“I currently have no plans to join a sect. Before leaving the previous sect, I received some rare resources from them, which give me some hope of breaking through to the Core Formation stage. Joining another sect now would only hold me back and hinder my cultivation.”
Lu Xuan had met Shen Ye more than twenty years ago when he was at the late stage of Foundation Establishment. Now he was at the Foundation Establishment Perfect Realm, on the verge of Core Formation.
“Then I wish Brother Shen a smooth breakthrough and hope you will look after me in the future.”
Lu Xuan said timidly.
“Of course.”
Shen Ye’s tone was gentle as he handed a small sword talisman to Lu Xuan.
“Junior Brother Lu, this is my communication sword talisman. It can be used many times, remember to keep in touch.”
“If you need anything from me, don’t hesitate to say.”
“Alright.”
Lu Xuan nodded, solemnly put away the small sword talisman, and likewise handed Shen Ye a communication talisman.
“We’ll meet again.”
Shen Ye cupped his fists, then a silver-white ribbon flew out of the black sword box on his back, carrying him into the clouds.
