My path to immortality began with my posting to guard Dawancun.

Chapter 541 Open

Deep within the cavern of the Xiangshan Zongshan Gate ruins,
A corner forgotten by time,
A dozen or so top geniuses from other regions stood silently.

Their eyes were focused ahead.

There, a light curtain with intricate patterns, like an inverted bowl, enveloped a misty valley within.
The deep valley is hidden among the heavy clouds and mist, appearing and disappearing intermittently.

But if you look closer,

You will then find that,

The supporting magic array light barrier seemed to have suffered ravages that defied description.

On the dense and complex patterns, the entire piece was broken into pieces, like shattered glass, with shocking cracks.

The sharp cracks shimmered with fluctuations that made even the void tremble with fear.

And the area at the top center is deeply recessed.
The terrifying aura lingering within has persisted for many years.
In the dim light, one could almost see an immense hand that covered the sky three hundred years ago descending and slamming the great array that enveloped this area into this dent!

If eyesight were better,
It can pass through the array's light barrier while its gaze penetrates the lingering clouds and mist.

You can then vaguely see,

Within the valley beneath the light curtain,

Hidden within is a dilapidated palace built against the mountain.

In front of the palace,
A broken plaque leaned against the ground.
The powerful characters “悟道洞天” can still be faintly discerned.

"The earth's veins circulate, the five elements operate, life is endless, amazing, it can actually produce such a grand formation!"

at this time,

The disciple of the Divine Calculation Sect, wearing sunglasses, was constantly measuring the remaining array in front of him using the tortoise shell in his hand.

A mysterious light rose and fell on the tortoise shell, its brightness flickering uncertainly.

He commanded the followers of the foreign geniuses surrounding him.

They could either place array plates at the outer nodes or launch a combined attack on a weak point in the array.

Use this to attack the great formation.

Progressing step by step.

at the same time,

In the more distant surrounding areas,

A crowd gradually gathered, their eyes fixed intently.

"As expected, trying to stop the spread of the news was ultimately futile."

"Even if outsiders don't know the specific details, they can certainly guess that we, the elites, are planning something even more valuable here, which is why they have all come to watch."

"It seems that in the end, we still have to put on a show."

"I just hope the scene doesn't get too chaotic and affect our plans."

Bai Yusheng felt the gaze directed at him from afar, but his expression remained calm.

His gaze swept over the several groups of foreign geniuses gathered around him.

He gently waved his feather fan and spoke calmly.

"Oh? Since you knew this all along, why did you still send your cousin Bai Jingyuan to hunt down Nangong Cheng?"

Chen Lingfeng, standing to the side, asked with great interest upon hearing this.

These days,

Since the day Chen Lingfeng and Bai Yusheng met,
They hit it off immediately, sharing similar tastes.

In addition, the other talented individuals from other regions are showing a subtle tendency to band together for mutual support.
If it's a one-on-one fight,

That would inevitably put them at a disadvantage.

They simply formed a temporary alliance and acted together.

While the reliability of this so-called temporary alliance remains questionable, at least...
During this period, they have basically been acting as a group.

And so,

Chen Lingfeng had naturally witnessed the scene where Nangong Cheng was discovered "spying" and Bai Yusheng sent his cousin Bai Jingyuan to hunt him down.

"Although it's not of great use, it's always necessary to make a show of it."

Bai Yusheng remained calm.

"Moreover, Fellow Daoist Chen, look, after this incident, those greedy people no longer dare to act rashly, do they?"

"If we hadn't made an example of them earlier, I'm sure the people behind us would have already come closer!"

The white jade fan pointed to the distant mountains, palaces, and other scenery that appeared to be deserted.

Although I didn't see anyone.
But with the abilities of those present, how could they not sense the rogue cultivators lurking in the distance, spying on the area?
"Heh, is it really not because your Bai family and the Nangong family have a long-standing feud? So you're planning to use this as an excuse to make trouble?"

"Why did you have to make an example of the Nangong family? You people are always full of bad intentions, making me wonder if it's right for me to cooperate with you."

"Don't think so badly of me, it was all just something I did on the spur of the moment."

"If Nangong Cheng hadn't just happened to come along, I would have naturally planned to find a few rogue cultivators to establish my authority, and I'm afraid the others would have made similar preparations. It's just a pity that the young master Nangong didn't fall for the trap."

Bai Yusheng shook his head slightly.
He glanced at the direction where the young master of the Nangong family, who had gathered several top geniuses, was located, and a hint of apprehension flashed in his eyes.

The Prince of Nangong on the opposite side seemed to sense Bai Yusheng's gaze as well, casting a sharp look over with a hint of murderous intent.

Their gazes met briefly before parting.
There was no further entanglement.

However, on Prince Nangong's side, there was a slight commotion among the small group of people around him, and they seemed to hear words like "that scoundrel."

For this,

Bai Yusheng didn't pay any attention to it.

Chen Lingfeng glanced at it, sneered, ignored the intrigue, and asked instead:
"With the forces of all sides now intertwined, even I dare not say that we will definitely win in the end."

"Fellow Daoist Bai, have you considered what would happen if we gained nothing this time?"

"Hasn't Brother Chen already found the answer?"

Bai Yusheng looked somewhat indifferent, but gave Chen Lingfeng a meaningful look.

"I imagine that Fellow Daoist Chen is not the only one with this idea; many others share the same thought."

"What thoughts could I possibly have? I'm just an ordinary person."

Chen Lingfeng's expression remained unchanged.

"Is that so? After Fellow Daoist Chen left, did he still go looking for trouble with Shen Changchuan?"

Bai Yusheng made a meaningful remark.

"Brother Chen, none of us who have come this far are fools."

"That reason you said you wanted to stand up for your junior brother is just something to talk about outside. Don't think that everyone will believe whatever you say."

Chen Lingfeng's expression immediately turned somewhat gloomy.
a good moment,
He spoke somewhat reluctantly just now:

"So many people are eyeing Shen Changchuan, such a big piece of meat?"

Just as Bai Yusheng implied,
His so-called act of standing up for his junior brother Xiong Kuangdao was nothing more than a seemingly reasonable excuse.

His real purpose,

They were trying to see if they could get a chance to squeeze some flesh out of that brat named Shen Changchuan!
As everyone knows,

Shen Changchuan's rise to prominence in the barren Tiannan Region was due to the opportunity presented by the ruins of the Xiangshan Sect's mountain gate.

To be able to do that,

That kid,
Just how much benefit did they receive?!

The potential benefits are so great that they would make any cultivator at the Nascent Soul Realm, or even the Divine Travel Realm, envious!
