Chapter 30: Alarming the Holy Land_1
After a long while, Nan Feng finally came back to her senses. Slowly opening her eyes, her beautiful pupils were filled with a complex expression.
Just by listening to Senior Li’s piece, her understanding of the zither arts had skyrocketed!
She even felt that reaching the Hollow Void Realm and even the Mahayana Realm was just around the corner.
Li Fan’s performance had completely enlightened her; in fact, fragments of Dao that only appeared in the Mahayana Realm had already begun to emerge within her.
This could truly be called a great opportunity!
At this moment, her respect for Li Fan ran deep. Who exactly was this being who was invincible in the Art of Painting and whose mastery of the zither arts was so profound…In the entire Three Absolute Sect, surely no one could compare with this Senior.
Even the zither sounds left by the Three Absolute Immortals of yore, which she had listened to, had only led to some enlightenment and weren’t like now, where it was as though she was being fully illuminated, her vision vastly expanded.
"How is it? Now, are you willing to take me as your master?” Li Fan smiled.
In the realm of the zither arts, he had been tormented by the system countless times, and even across the entire Southern Territory, he was confident enough to fear no one.
At this moment, Nan Feng no longer hesitated and knelt directly, saying,
“Disciple Nan Feng, greets the Master!”
Seeing this, Zi Ling was truly overjoyed. With this, the two of them could stay together without being separated.
She also knelt down immediately, saying,
“Disciple Zi Ling, greets the Master!”
Li Fan smiled; he had finally completed the task given by the system.
A step closer to becoming a Cultivator.
"No need for such formalities, rise,” he said.
He paused for a moment, then added,
"You two may stay here for now.”
Fortunately, the small courtyard had been built according to the system’s requirements, so it was large enough.
The two nodded repeatedly.
Night fell quickly.
Li Fan sat in the courtyard, gazing at the stars twinkling across the sky.
He truly didn’t know when he would become a Cultivator.
He sighed softly, perhaps he was destined to be just an ordinary person?
"Meow-meow~” As if sensing the change in Li Fan’s emotions, Xiao Bai in his arms let out a few soft mews and licked Li Fan’s hand in its sleep.
"What a lazy cat.”
Li Fan couldn’t help but smile. However, the cat’s appearance was getting better and better, its fur shinier, it seemed he wasn’t too bad at raising a cat after all…
…
Meanwhile.
Taiyan Holy Land.
The Tai Yan Holy Hall was brightly lit today!
Outside the hall, several Mahayana Realm Cultivators guarded the ancient temple.
From afar, a mysterious light shield could be seen over the entire Taiyan Holy Land, a sign that the Holy Land Defense Formation had been activated!
Taiyan Holy Land, one of the two great Holy Lands of the Southern Territory, stands lofty above the clouds, always unchallenged!
Since its establishment, the Holy Land Defense Formation had been activated only a handful of times, countable on one hand.
Yet today, with no foreign enemies attacking, Taiyan Holy Land was on high alert as if facing a great enemy!
Inside the bronze ancient hall.
Elders sat facing each other, their auras extremely fearsome.
Even supremes like Luo Ming and Hong Xuan could only sit in the middle row.
Today’s gathering was exclusively composed of Supremes!
A total of eight beings, the eight Great Supremes!
Among them, four from Taiyan Holy Land and four from Ziyang Holy Land.
The foundational strength of the two sects was fully present.
Seated at the left was a purple-robed elder. The elder, with a ruddy complexion and white hair, exuded an air of immortality. He was the Saint Master of Ziyang Holy Land, the Primordial Yang Venerable!
And facing him was an elder in a black Daoist robe embroidered with a pattern of the stars and constellations in golden thread. His aura was deep and profound, and his facial features sharp.
This elder was none other than the Saint Master of the Taiyan Holy Land, Spirit Transcendence Venerable!
The Saint Master has made a move!
At this moment, the atmosphere within the ancient hall condensed to an extreme.
"Now, the Holy Land’s great formation has been activated, able to conceal the aura of this place. Even an Evil God would not be able to sense it. You can open that Dao Map now.”
Spirit Transcendence Venerable looked towards Luo Ming and Hong Xuan.
Besides the two of them, the gazes of the other six Venerables all rested upon them.
Everyone’s expression was extremely solemn, with eyes filled with curiosity and anticipation.
What kind of Dao Map required the protection of the Holy Land’s great formation to be unveiled?
Generally speaking, unless it involved major opportunities and causations that would attract the prying eyes of powerful beings, there would be no need for such stringent defenses.
Luo Ming and Hong Xuan exchanged glances, both standing up solemnly.
——They had raced from the outer fringes of the Cangli Mountain Range without daring to stop for a moment, for fear of attracting the scrutiny of existences like the Evil God.
At their level, they were acutely aware that in this world, some things, once they appear, could bring about a storm of change.
Especially that Dao Map bestowed by Senior Li!
In Senior Li’s courtyard, with Senior Li present, no one could or dared to pry, but outside that place, it was a different story.
Thus, even upon reaching the Holy Land, they did not dare to reveal it, and strongly requested the Saint Master to intervene and activate the Holy Land’s great formation.
"This map, it concerns the Cangli Mountain Range!”
Luo Ming took out a palm-sized rolled-up painting from his sleeve, his eyes grave, and said,
“It depicts the grandeur of the Cangli and outlines the path to ascension to immortality!”
Upon finishing his words, he loosened his hand, and the rolled-up painting instantly unfurled!
In an instant, everyone’s gaze converged upon the scroll.
In that moment within the grand hall, a look of extreme shock appeared on everyone’s face!
Within the grand hall, there was absolute silence!
The Saint Masters of both the Taiyan Holy Land and the Ziyang Holy Land couldn’t help but stand up immediately, their eyes glued to the painting, unable to utter a single word!
It was dead silent!
Everyone was dumbstruck!
It wasn’t until a long, long while later…
"This painting portrays the terrain of the Cangli Mountain Range. It is so clear, so direct, so simple and concise… I suddenly understand why the Cangli Mountain Range is a forbidden area!”
"Indeed, looking at this painting, the Cangli Mountain Range itself is a huge formation for becoming an immortal. Mountains converge to form a dragon, such grandeur, such grandeur!”
"No wonder even Venerables risk nine deaths and one life when entering. Such a terrain can make an immortal, but, likewise, it can slay an immortal!”
For a time, countless Venerables were speaking out!
They were extremely earnest; this painting completely surpassed their imagination!
And now, Primordial Yang Venerable, the Saint Master of the Taiyan Holy Land, took in a deep breath and suddenly waved his hand, calling out towards the exterior of the grand hall,
“Activate the Mountain Protection Array at full power, full power!”
The formation at full power!
Everyone’s expression changed.
The current defensive formation of the Taiyan Holy Land had only been partially activated, which was already quite astonishing; and now, they were going to activate it fully?
Just how important was this painting?
Could it be that even the defensive part of the Holy Land Defense Formation might not be able to conceal the great opportunity and causation within?
"It’s fitting to activate the entire formation. This map is too important; it’s highly possible that it involves an ancient secret!”
"It concerns the path to immortality, the safety of the Xuantian Realm!”
Spirit Transcendence Venerable too, had an exceedingly grave expression on his face!
Hearing this evaluation, the others were even more shocked.
This was too terrifying!
Following Primordial Yang Venerable’s command, as the Taiyan Holy Land’s great formation was fully activated, an inexplicable aura filled the area!
Inside the hall.
"With this Dao Map, the countless eras of secrets hidden within the Cangli Mountain Range finally have the hope of being unveiled…”
Primordial Yang Venerable’s eyes were brimming with unprecedented solemnity as he looked at Hong Xuan Venerable and asked,
“Hong Xuan, where did this map come from?!”
Everyone was exceedingly concerned with the answer!
