Raise a sword!

Book lovers are all in the discussion area, chatting about the charm of Xianxia novels.

In the words of the Peak Master of Rainbow Peak, the so-called Spirit Transformation Pool is nothing more than a natural stone milk spring.

Since its discovery, under the leadership of the Cangshan Sect, the three sects have worked together to set up an array that divides the spiritual spring into ten separate spaces.

Every ten years, the spiritual energy of the spring can be restored to its peak state, allowing cultivators to enter and cultivate.

This is the origin of the fact that it can only be entered once every ten years.

Of the ten spots available, the Cangshan Sect holds five, but only three spots are actually filled by members of the sect each time. The other two spots are traded away by the sect.

For this trip, the Peak Master of Rainbow Peak brought out a magical flying boat.

What was originally only the size of a palm has grown to be five zhang long in the blink of an eye.

After boarding the flying boat, Peak Master Ni Chang piloted it straight towards the depths of the Earth-Ringing Mountains.

On the way, Peak Master Ni Chang introduced some information about the Spirit Transformation Pool.

"The Spirit Transformation Pool is a treasure land that is just right for a sect. If the effect of that place were stronger, as long as it was useful to Foundation Establishment cultivators, it would immediately attract the covetousness of major sects. But if it were weaker, it would be like chicken ribs, tasteless and unappetizing."

"On the contrary, things are just as they are now. They have some value, but it's not worth offending the three sects for them."

Traveling on a flying boat is truly a pleasure.

Especially with someone like the Peak Master of Rainbow Peak in charge, safety is assured.

This was Jiang Peng's first time venturing deep into the Earth-Ringing Mountains.

The endless, undulating mountains and the powerful monsters that would suddenly appear every now and then filled him with curiosity.

Along the way, they even crossed the territory of a second-tier demon beast, which provoked the demon beast, which was comparable to a Foundation Establishment cultivator, to attack them. They were then slapped back by the Peak Master of Rainbow Robe.

Finally, after a day and a night of travel, the airship came to a stop in front of a cliff.

A waterfall cascades down the cliff, and the sound of water patters all around.

"The Spirit Transformation Pool is hidden behind that cliff waterfall. This cliff was formed by the earth dragon turning over in the mountain range... It was also because of the earth dragon turning over that the stone milk spirit spring, which was originally buried deep underground, was exposed."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Peng raised an eyebrow slightly.

Upon hearing that the earth dragon had turned over, which is also known as an earthquake, Jiang Peng immediately thought of the underground cave where the Heavenly Crippled Taoist was suppressed.

After a moment's thought, Jiang Peng immediately realized that the earthquake that caused the damage to the underground cave formation was probably the same one that had occurred at the Spirit Transformation Pool.

If it were her previous life, Jiang Peng wouldn't have thought too much about it, simply regarding it as a normal geological movement.

But in this world, in this world where there is a vague concept of destiny, changes in the earth's veins often signify some major upheaval, whether good or bad.

But the Earth-Ringing Mountains are so vast. This mountain range is closely related to the entire Southern Mountain Region. What kind of change could trigger the earth veins of the Southern Mountain Region?

Jiang Peng directly voiced the question that had been bothering her.

But Ni Chang shook her head.

"I don't know." Her gaze deepened. "This is not the starting point of the earth dragon's transformation... The sect investigated this matter back then, and in the end, they only confirmed that something did happen deeper in the mountains, but they didn't know the specifics. Also, because the northern foothills are very far away, there was no need to get to the bottom of it."

"As for the deeper parts of the mountains... that is the territory of a fourth-tier demon king. Even a Nascent Soul True Monarch would not easily set foot there. Even if some earth-shattering opportunity appears, it is not something we can covet."

Jiang Peng nodded, made a mental note of the matter, and didn't think about it any further.

After waiting for about an hour in front of the cliff, the other two sects from the northern foothills also arrived.

The Phantom Sound Sect was represented by three women, the leader of whom was a still-attractive middle-aged woman. .

A shrewd glint appeared in her phoenix eyes as she looked at Peak Master Ni Chang and immediately smiled, "Sister Ni Chang."

A middle-aged man calling the seemingly immature Peak Master of Ni Chang "sister"... Even though Jiang Peng had long realized that one could not judge a cultivator's age by their appearance, she still felt a strong sense of incongruity.

"This is Feng Feiyan, a Foundation Establishment cultivator of the Illusionary Sound Sect."

The Peak Master of Ni Chang gave an introduction, then her face turned cold.

"You shameless slut, who's your sister?"

The middle-aged woman smiled gently, completely unconcerned about the aggressiveness displayed by Ni Chang. Her phoenix eyes swept over Jiang Peng and the other two, and she laughed, "The disciples of Cangshan Sect are all handsome. The only one who doesn't look so good is actually quite sturdy."

That's a good point.

Sun Yinxi turned a deaf ear.

Jiang Peng and Cheng Kaihai exchanged a glance, then pursed their lips, pretending not to have heard what was said.

Cheng Kaihai, dressed in shorts that revealed his two muscular arms, immediately blushed, but remembering that the other party was a Foundation Establishment cultivator, he ultimately forced himself to hold back.

Jade Pavilion Sword Pavilion and Illusory Sound Gate arrived almost one after the other.

Four figures riding swords appeared in mid-air, looking down from above.

Of the four from Sword Pavilion, Jiang Peng recognized the leader as Li Xiangui, the Foundation Establishment sword cultivator who had destroyed the Cangshan Black Market and triggered the war between the Cangshan Sect and Sword Pavilion.

Although his name is somewhat common, he is already the most outstanding figure among the younger generation of Jian Ge.

Just as Jiang Peng was secretly observing the other party, Peak Master Ni Chang spoke up.

She first gave a cold snort.

"snort!"

The sound echoed through the mountains and forests, causing the three Qi Refining disciples of the Sword Pavilion in the sky to fall directly from mid-air.

Seeing this, Li Xiangui frowned slightly, but ultimately did not retaliate. He simply obediently fell from mid-air.

At the same time, the Peak Master of Ni Chang spoke up again: "Taking a flying boat to ten miles away, and then flying here on a sword... are you out of your mind? You, Li Xiangui, are quite capable, flying on a sword while carrying three burdens."

Jiang Peng then realized what was happening.

He had been wondering why the Qi Refining disciples of the Sword Pavilion could already fly on swords; it turned out that the Foundation Establishment elders were secretly pulling the strings.

"If we sword cultivators hide our secrets, how are we any different from the rats of the Cangshan Sect?" Li Xiangui said coldly.

The next moment, Jiang Peng's vision suddenly went blank, as the Peak Master of Rainbow Robes had vanished.

Immediately afterwards, Ni Chang appeared in front of Li Xiangui and reached out to grab him.

Li Xiangui's pupils contracted, and he was greatly shocked, never expecting that Ni Chang's speed could be so fast.

He hastily drew his sword, but then, Ni Chang actually grabbed Li Xiangui's sword blade with her bare hands.

A terrifying surge of spiritual energy emanated from the sword's edge, causing a fierce wind to sweep through the forest.

That seemingly invincible magic sword couldn't even pierce Ni Chang's palm.

Li Xiangui's expression finally changed.

But just as he was about to unleash his power by forming a hand seal, the Peak Master of Rainbow Robe disappeared once again and returned to her original position.

For a moment, only Li Xiangui remained standing there, sword in hand, unsure whether to draw his sword or sheathe it, caught in a dilemma.

Feng Feiyan, who was standing next to her, scoffed.

"Fellow Daoist Li is known for his divine blade, which can cut down anything, but now it seems that this is an exaggeration."

Li Xiangui remained silent with a cold expression.
