Chapter 1003 Azure Dragon Sect, Teleportation Array
On the south side of the Kunyu Mountains, outside a medium-sized market town.

At this moment, countless dark monsters had surrounded the market, constantly attacking the "market formation" that was glowing white, with bursts of booming sounds coming from time to time.

In the market, two Golden Core cultivators standing in mid-air looked at the thousands of various demonic beasts attacking them, their brows furrowed with anxiety.

These demonic beasts in front of us, although they look similar to ordinary demonic beasts on the surface, are not commanded by any high-level demon kings.

But these monsters not only carried a strange aura, but their eyes were also full of scarlet color, making them several times more ferocious than usual.

Even when faced with mountains of corpses and seas of blood piled up ahead, they ignored them all and only knew how to launch a frenzied attack without fear of death.

The sheer number of demonic beasts launching a frenzied attack forced the two Golden Core cultivators into a state of disarray, leaving them only able to hide behind the "mountain-protecting formation" and barely manage to block the oncoming beasts.

Seeing that there were too many demonic beasts and that the "mountain-protecting formation" in front of them was already in a precarious state, a female cultivator in green quickly sent a telepathic message to her companion.

"Senior Brother Cui, with so many demonic beasts arriving, we probably won't last until the sect's reinforcements arrive. We should make a decision and evacuate as soon as possible!"

"Don't worry, Junior Sister Lü, I have already arranged for Deyuan and the others to carry out the evacuation order."

However, with so many supplies in the market needing to be evacuated, we must buy them as much time as possible. Otherwise, once these demonized beasts enter the city, this place will inevitably become ruins.

"Huh, it seems like someone is coming from the east. Could it be reinforcements sent by the sect?"

Just as the two were talking, the female cultivator in green suddenly saw a streak of light flying towards them and couldn't help but show a look of surprise.

The other man in black robes also looked puzzled upon seeing this scene, and stared intently at the distance not far ahead.

Before long, a burst of sword light descended from mid-air, instantly annihilating over a hundred low-level demonic beasts below.

This attack instantly shocked the surrounding army of monsters that were attacking frantically, and many flying monsters turned around and surrounded the white flying boat above.

However, just as these demonic beasts approached the airship, countless bolts of lightning suddenly shot out from the airship, instantly killing them in mid-air.

The beasts that had been so frenzied just moments before suddenly showed a look of fear upon encountering these white lightning bolts, and were so frightened that they took the initiative to retreat.

At the same time, countless bolts of lightning struck the white flying boat again, and hundreds of demonic beasts fell to the ground.

The remaining demonic beasts, sensing the nearby lightning, were also terrified and turned to flee the battlefield.

Seeing the demon beast army repelled, the two Golden Core cultivators breathed a sigh of relief and quickly flashed to the location of the white flying boat.

Seeing the unfamiliar-looking man and woman before them, the two were slightly surprised and quickly bowed respectfully.

"Junior disciples Cui Yundong and Lü Fangling of the Azure Dragon Sect greet you, senior. We are grateful for your assistance!"

"Oh! You're from the Azure Dragon Sect, so this must be the cultivation world of the Azure Mountain Kingdom, right?"

Upon hearing the two Golden Core cultivators introduce themselves, Song Qingming, standing on the flying boat, put away a bronze lamp magic treasure in front of him and asked a question with a smile.

Since leaving Xuanqing Temple, Song Qingming and Huang Siyuan had been traveling north for almost two months and finally arrived near the Kunyu Mountains.

As they approached the Kunyu Mountains, Song Qingming and his companion encountered numerous attacks from mutated monsters.

It was through repeatedly killing these demonic beasts that Song Qingming discovered many of their weaknesses, which enabled him to resolve the crisis outside the market so quickly.

Upon hearing Song Qingming and his companion's words, it seemed that these were cultivators from out of town, not reinforcements invited by their own sect. Cui Yundong and his companion were surprised again and quickly nodded in agreement.

“What you say is true, senior. This place is Linjiang Ward in the eastern part of Qingshan Kingdom. We are the cultivators from Qinglong Sect who are responsible for guarding this market.”

We were just attacked by a large number of demonic beasts. If it weren't for the help of our senior, this market would probably not have survived today.

"I wonder if you've come here, senior? Is there anything we can do to help you?"

"I am here to see Master Feihe of your sect. I wonder if you two could help me send a message to introduce me, saying that Master Xuanku of Xuanqing Temple is a friend of yours."

"Oh! So you were looking for our sect's Grand Elder, senior. That's easy to discuss."

Please wait a moment. We need to take care of some matters, and then we can take you back to Qinglong Mountain immediately, where you can meet the Grand Elder.

Upon hearing that Song Qingming and his companion wanted to see their Grand Elder, Cui Yundong and his companion nodded repeatedly in agreement, and then took Song Qingming back to the market.

Before long, Cui Yundong, having finished his work, came to Song Qingming again and then led him on a fast journey northwest.

Along the way, with Cui Yundong's initiative in introducing them, Song Qingming and Huang Siyuan also gained some understanding of the outbreak of the "demonic disaster" and the specific situation in the vicinity.

The cultivation world of Qingshan Kingdom, where the "Azure Dragon Sect" is located, is considered a major country near the "Kunyu Mountain Range" in the north, roughly twice the size of the current Wei Kingdom of the "Floating Cloud Mountain Range".

Within its territory, there is not only the "Azure Dragon Sect" as a Nascent Soul power, but also two other Nascent Soul sects whose strength is not much different from its own.

About seven or eight years ago, the Kunyu Mountains, which had always been relatively peaceful, suddenly became inexplicably filled with a large number of demonic beasts infected by demonic energy, which became extremely bloodthirsty and frenzied.

Initially, this phenomenon occurred within the Kunyu Mountains and did not have a significant impact on human territory.

Until three years ago, the number of demonic beasts in the Kunyu Mountains increased, and these bloodthirsty monsters began to leave the Kunyu Mountains and continue to invade the human cultivators' territories.

These demonic beasts are numerous, bloodthirsty, brutal, and extremely difficult to deal with; once they encounter any living creature, they will fight to the death.

In just three years, countless spiritual mountains and markets in countries near the Kunyu Mountains fell to demons, and countless cultivators and mortals were killed or injured.

To combat this demonic calamity, dozens of Nascent Soul sects in the southern part of the Kunyu Mountains have united and are working hard to find a way to end this disaster.

Guided by Cui Yundong, after half a day, the "White Bone Boat" finally passed through a sea of ​​clouds and entered a high mountain with an ethereal atmosphere.

After arriving here, Cui Yundong arranged for Song Qingming and his companion to stay at an inn at the foot of the mountain. Then, he took the calling card that Song Qingming had given him and went to the sect to report the news.

After staying at the foot of the mountain for less than half an hour, Cui Yundong returned and brought Song Qingming and the other person to "Azure Dragon Mountain," where they met a woman in yellow who was waiting there. This woman in yellow was named Zhen Yuning, one of the four Nascent Soul elders of the "Azure Dragon Sect."

She was only able to receive Song Qingming and his companion on behalf of the sect because the sect's Grand Elder, "Master Feihe," was out discussing the extermination of demons with other sects.

Upon meeting, Zhen Yuning invited Song Qingming and the other person to sit down and had someone serve them the sect's special spiritual tea.

"Fellow Daoists, the Grand Elder was away from the sect the day before yesterday, and we do not know when he will return."

"If there's anything convenient, please feel free to speak to me directly. Since you two are guests introduced by Xuanqing Temple, this sect will certainly not neglect you."

Upon hearing this, Song Qingming quickly stood up, cupped his hands, and replied, "Fellow Daoist Zhen, the two of us came here only to cross the Kunyu Mountains and head to the Northern Mountain Immortal Cultivation World."

"I heard from Fellow Daoist Xuanku that your sect is quite familiar with the Kunyu Mountains, which is why I've come specifically to inquire. I wonder if you could offer some guidance?"

After Song Qingming finished speaking, he took out the dragon-shaped jade pendant that "Xuanku Daoren" had given him earlier and handed it to Zhen Yuning, who was standing to the side.

As they traveled north and approached the Kunyu Mountains, Song Qingming and his companion gradually learned about the specifics of the "demonic calamity."

Although this "demonic disaster" was not as exaggerated as some people said, its scale and impact still exceeded Song Qingming's expectations.

Nowadays, the few passages that normally pass through the Kunyu Mountains have been almost all occupied by demonized beasts and are difficult to pass through. Even as a Nascent Soul cultivator, it would be extremely dangerous for him to try to break through.

After finding out the specific information, Song Qingming rushed to the Azure Dragon Sect, hoping to find out from them how to cross the Kunyu Mountains.

Upon hearing that Song Qingming and his companion were heading to the Northern Mountain Cultivation Realm across the mountains, Zhen Yuning was somewhat surprised, but not too displeased.

After carefully examining the "dragon-shaped jade pendant" in Song Qingming's hand, Zhen Yuning remained silent for a moment before looking up and nodding slightly to Song Qingming.

"Our sect and Xuanqing Temple have always been on good terms. Since you, fellow Daoist, have taken the initiative to visit us with the token of Elder Xuanku, we should at least give you this much face."

Moreover, you recently helped save Junior Nephew Cui and the others, which can be considered a favor to my Azure Dragon Sect.

To be honest, our sect does know of a hidden teleportation array leading to the "Northern Mountain Immortal Cultivation World".

However, this array has encountered some problems due to its frequent use for teleportation some time ago, and it needs to be repaired before it can be used again.

If Fellow Daoist Song needs to teleport through this place, it will take some time. I wonder if you could wait a while?

"Oh! May I ask where this teleportation array is damaged? I happen to be a level four array master myself, I wonder if I can be of any help?"

Upon hearing that Zhen Yuning truly knew about a hidden teleportation array, Song Qingming's face immediately lit up with joy.

What he didn't expect was that, by sheer coincidence, the other party's "teleportation array" was broken again, which made Song Qingming exclaim in surprise.

"Fellow Daoist Song is also a level four array master? Could it be that you have some knowledge of high-level teleportation arrays?"

Upon hearing Song Qingming claim to be a level four "array master," Zhen Yuning was immediately surprised and quickly asked him a question.

"To be honest, when I came here, I helped Fellow Daoist Xuanku repair the intercontinental teleportation array in Xuanqing Temple."

Although my skill in formations is not particularly profound, and I only helped out, I still have some understanding of them.

"If you find me of any use, I, Song, am willing to lend a hand, as I am also eager to use the teleportation array to reach the Northern Mountain cultivation world."

Having spent about half a year at the Xuanqing Temple, Song Qingming naturally learned a lot of the key points of repairing teleportation arrays while working with Lin Tianrong and others to repair the intercontinental teleportation array.

Moreover, after the battle at Xuanqing Temple, Lin Tianrong and the others had become much closer to Song Qingming. They answered all his questions about their formations without holding back.

After this period of time, Song Qingming also felt that his "array formation level" had improved a lot compared to the past, especially his research on "teleportation arrays".

Hearing from Zhen Yuning that the problem was also with the "teleportation array," he was eager to try it out and see if he had made any progress in this area.

Upon hearing that Song Qingming had also helped repair the intercontinental teleportation array of the "Xuanqing Temple," Zhen Yuning looked somewhat incredulous, and after a while, she nodded excitedly.

"Fellow Daoist Song, the damage to the teleportation array controlled by our sect is not too serious. There is only one array diagram that is damaged in the teleportation array."

"We have gathered all the materials needed to repair the array. If Fellow Daoist Song can truly help repair the great array, our sect will certainly reward you handsomely."

"Hehe! Fellow Daoist Zhen, don't be in a hurry. Why don't I go down and see if I can help, and then we can talk about other things."

".."

After making arrangements with Zhen Yuning, Song Qingming quickly followed her to a canyon not far from the Azure Dragon Sect, where he saw a large teleportation array hidden in the valley.

This large teleportation array connecting the two major cultivation worlds of "Xihua Immortal Continent" in the north and south is not actually owned by the "Azure Dragon Sect". The other two Nascent Soul sects in the cultivation world of Qingshan Kingdom also have shares in it.

When Song Qingming arrived, there were already more than a dozen array masters responsible for repairing the "teleportation array" there, two of whom were also Nascent Soul cultivators.

Seeing that Zhen Yuning had suddenly brought an unfamiliar Nascent Soul cultivator, everyone seemed to have already known the news and immediately rushed out to greet her.

Leading the group was an elderly man with white hair, who immediately bowed to Song Qingming. "This must be Fellow Daoist Song!"
"I never expected you to be a level four array master at such a young age. It truly makes this old man feel somewhat ashamed. I hope you can offer me more guidance on the matter of repairing the array."

"Hehe! I say, Yunjizi, he just arrived and it's hard to say whether he can be of any help. Aren't you a little too eager to ask for his advice?"

Just as the white-haired old man named Yun Jizi finished speaking, a delicate voice rang out from not far away, and a young woman in a green robe appeared in front of Song Qingming.

(Sorry, fellow Daoists, I suddenly received a call from my hometown today saying that the village has received compensation for demolition and asked me to rush back to my hometown for a meeting to discuss this matter.)

The small village was demolished because it was built by the river and a hydroelectric power station was to be built on it. It was just a small amount of money, so please don't misunderstand.

After a long day of travel, I didn't get home until 11 PM. I was in such a rush that I only managed to write this much; I'm really sorry everyone. I'll try to make up for the rest tomorrow!
