Martial Arts, the Fairy's Cultivation

The newcomer revealed himself to be a middle-aged man dressed in a blue robe. He had an unremarkable appearance, but his mere presence caused the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to subtly surge.

The people of Tianyan Mountain Range were suddenly shocked. Only those Nirvana Realm experts who stood at the top of the dynasty could possess such power!

Many sharp-eyed people quickly recognized the man in the green robe as Lin Fan, the patriarch of the Lin clan, one of the four major clans.

However, what shocked everyone present even more than the identity of the Lin clan patriarch was Lin Fan's respectful attitude towards the mysterious woman after his appearance, as if he regarded her as someone on the same level as himself.

As they gradually realized this, everyone couldn't help but groan inwardly. How old did that woman look? How could she be on par with a legendary Nirvana Realm expert?

Most of the geniuses here regard the Nirvana Realm as the pinnacle of their life's pursuit, but at this moment they suddenly discover that someone has easily trampled that endpoint under their feet. The woman is not only stunningly beautiful, but her extraordinary talent is also like looking down on all living beings from the clouds.

How could there be such a perfect person? They are simply blessed with the beauty and wonder of heaven and earth, possessing all the wonders of creation, as if they were born to amaze the world and captivate all beings!

No one felt jealous. When the gap between people is so huge that it seems unreal, it is difficult for any feelings of jealousy to arise. All that remains is heartfelt amazement and longing.

Even though Lin Fan had reached the Nirvana Realm, he still subtly lowered his posture when facing the woman in white, because he knew what it truly meant to be able to cultivate to the Nirvana Realm at such a young age.

"Clan Chief Lin Fan is too kind. I am just like everyone else, a seeker of the Dao who has come for an opportunity."

Mu Zi's gaze swept across the sky indifferently, and then her voice, like celestial music, rang out in the air, instantly causing some of the less resolute among them to show expressions of intoxication.

Although the voice was clear, calm, and without much emotion, it was more captivating than any woman in the world. It was far superior to any deliberate, affected charm; its simple expression surpassed all beauty.

Lin Fan suppressed the strange look in his eyes, faced the white-robed fairy, and spoke with a hint of self-mockery.

"Before you, we are but ordinary people..."

"snort!"

As the words fell, an arrogant aura emanated from the distant sky. A middle-aged man in a golden robe stepped through the air, his expression disdainful. When he arrived in front of the two, he looked at the somewhat humble Lin Fan and let out a cold snort.

"Lin Fan, you old codger, you're really getting worse and worse. Whether you gain anything in the secret realm depends on your own methods. You've already lost your nerve before even competing. I won't stoop to your level like you. In the end, who will win is anyone's guess!"

Lin Fan paused slightly. The arrogant tone of the newcomer made it clear without guessing that it was that guy from the Wang clan. But such a boastful tone... Heh, let's see if he can still laugh after seeing the other party's strength.

After all, that person was someone who could make the royal family lose face...

The Lin clan's residence was not far from the imperial city. On that day, Lin Fan had sensed the earth-shattering collision that erupted above the imperial city from afar. The power of that collision was not something that ordinary Nirvana Realm cultivators could match. If the person who made the move that day was the white-clad woman in front of him, then her terror level would far exceed Wang Lei's expectations.

Meeting Lin Fan's meaningful gaze, Wang Lei frowned slightly, vaguely sensing that something was wrong. But since he had already made his threats, he could only continue to put on an attitude of fearlessness and remain an arrogant background figure.

Across from her, Mu Zi looked at the middle-aged man in the golden robe, her expression remaining calm and composed throughout, even casually retorting with a nonchalant remark:

"In that case, I wish the Wang clan chief all the best on this trip, that he will have the last laugh."

If the person in front of him were at the Life and Death Profound Realm, there might be a possibility of forcibly taking away the Origin of Creation. But if he is just someone like Wang Lei, even if he self-destructs, he might not be able to shake him in the slightest. He is just a clown jumping around.

After Wang and Lin arrived, a short while later, the Nirvana Realm experts from the Qin and Huangpu clans arrived one after another. The patriarchs of the four major clans gathered together, a grand occasion rarely seen in the Great Yan Dynasty for decades.

Not only that, but after that, some powerful figures who had reached the half-step Nirvana realm appeared. They came from the super forces of the Great Yan Dynasty, which were second only to the four major clans. Among them were two "acquaintances" of Mu Zi, namely Liu Luo and Kui Yue, who had "narrowly lost" to her in one move.

Upon meeting again, Liu and Luo nodded to Mu Zi from afar, then quickly withdrew their gazes, adopting a low-key demeanor of keeping their eyes down. With so many Nirvana Realm experts present, their strength was probably only enough to protect themselves, and they feared they would gain little from the opening of this secret realm.

At this moment, beside Liu Luo and Kui Yue, there was a gaunt man in black robes. Strange runes were engraved on his arms protruding from under the black robes, which looked very strange. This man stood there without saying a word, and was even more low-key than the other two.

The Great Compassion Valley, one of the three major sects, is located deep in the desert in the northwest of the Great Yan Dynasty. Although this sect has a half-step Nirvana cultivator in charge, it is usually very low-key and its disciples are rarely seen going out. This is because their special cultivation method requires them to live like ascetics in order to hone their mental strength to be more resilient than ordinary people.

However, the opportunities that may exist in this secret realm are so coveted that even those at the Nirvana Realm are eager to try them out. Even though the Great Compassion Valley is usually very low-key, it still has to send out powerful experts to explore it.

Currently, almost all the Nirvana Realm experts of the Great Yan Dynasty are gathered here, except for one particular force.

"Mo Jingtian hasn't shown up yet, so it seems the royal family won't be sending anyone this time."

Lin Fan pondered to himself, his gaze involuntarily falling on the seemingly detached white-clad figure. Although he didn't know why no one from the royal family had appeared this time, he figured it must be related to the person in front of him.

Rumble!

Just as everyone was lost in their own thoughts, a thunderous roar once again echoed through the heavens and earth, and a vast phantom of the world, as if about to burst into reality, descended into everyone's sight.

"The secret realm is about to open!"

A flurry of intense gazes converged upon it, and it seemed as if everyone could glimpse through the spatial barrier the vibrant scene of life and flourishing creatures within.

brush--

At this moment, Mu Zi seemed to sense something, and her gaze transcended the barriers of space to see inside the small world, where a majestic blue lotus bud stood tall in the sky.

The mutual resonance between the two origins of Hongmeng and Creation caused the ancient patterns between Mu Zi's brows to faintly glow. Under that connection, the blue lotus in the secret realm seemed to tremble slightly, and then the lotus petals unfolded, slowly opening a crack.

In an instant, a profound aura of creation and vitality rose up and spread to all directions of heaven and earth. That vast fluctuation could not be isolated even by the small world and suddenly descended upon the outside world.

The aura of creation, like a gentle breeze, swept over everything, nourishing all living beings gathered in the Tianyan Mountains. At this moment, all their chronic illnesses were cured, their bodies were full of vitality, and their state reached an unprecedented level of perfection.

Feeling the changes within themselves, many people's excitement and enthusiasm were palpable; this opportunity alone made the trip worthwhile.

hum-

Before everyone could recover, a magnificent roar followed, vast and unfathomable, like the profound sound of the Great Dao from beyond the nine heavens, resounding in everyone's ears and hearts.

"What is this?"

Everyone present looked bewildered, as none of the records of the various factions in the Great Yan Dynasty had ever documented such an unusual phenomenon.

Although they did not know the mystery of the sound that permeated the world, many people vaguely realized that they seemed to have missed a great opportunity.

"There seemed to be some kind of insight in that mysterious sound, but alas..."

A look of understanding flashed in Lin Dong's eyes. Listening to the intermittent echoes in his ears, he seemed to be trying to grasp something, but it was always like looking at flowers through a fog, separated by a layer.

Buzz—buzz—buzz—

A moment later, the sound in Lin Dong's ears completely disappeared, as if the mysterious sound had vanished into time and space, spreading to an extremely distant place, and only those with the right destiny could hear more of its rhythm.

"Um?"

Just as Lin Dong was feeling a little regretful, he was surprised to see Lin Ke'er standing to the side, staring blankly into the void. In the depths of her strange double pupils, light seemed to be emanating, and the sun, moon and stars faintly appeared within them.

Under the watchful eyes of many, Lin Ke'er actually sat down cross-legged on the spot, closed her eyes, and entered a state of cultivation.

"What's wrong, Sister Ke'er?"

The disciples of the Lin clan exchanged glances, and they could see the astonishment in each other's eyes. It seemed that Lin Ke'er had gained some benefit from the strange and mysterious sound just now.

brush!

A moment later, as Lin Ke'er opened her eyes, a flash of azure light appeared in her double pupils, and at the same time, a profound spiritual fluctuation subtly permeated from her body.

"A fourth-level talisman master, it seems she has made a breakthrough this time."

Lin Dong couldn't help but sigh, "In just a moment, he advanced from the third seal to the fourth seal. His talent in mental power is truly terrifying!"

The little sable's voice, tinged with a hint of mockery, echoed in Lin Dong's mind: "Hehe, Lin Dong, how does it feel to gain nothing? It seems that the woman with double pupils has a higher level of comprehension than you..."

Lin Dong shook his head inwardly. It would be a lie to say he wasn't envious, but he wasn't jealous of others' success. There were countless geniuses in the world, and Lin Dong didn't think he was the only one who had the best. Lin Ke'er's ability to gain some insight from the Xuan Yin was her good fortune, and Lin Dong could only offer his blessings.

"The secret realm has opened!"

Someone exclaimed in surprise, and everyone looked up to see that the space outside the secret realm had completely stabilized. The Nirvana Realm experts, led by the woman in white, stepped into that small world without hesitation.

"Let's go too."

Lin Dong said to himself, then took the lead and joined the overwhelming crowd, disappearing into the depths of the mountains in the blink of an eye.

-

At this moment, in a very distant place, a figure shrouded in a black robe suddenly seemed to sense something and stopped in mid-air.

"The Heavenly Sound of the Great Dao... What level of treasure has appeared in this world?"

The figure in black robes gazed into the distance, his eyes deep and unfathomable.

"That place seems to be in the northwest of the Eastern Xuan Region. If we go there now, hopefully we can still make it in time..."

With a soft murmur, the slender figure in black robes vanished from the space with abruptness.
