Chapter 1 Entry
In August of the 212th year of Yuanfeng, Guanyue, deep in Kunlun Mountain, there was a forbidden area of "Yi Shenzong".
Every Mid-Autumn Festival, the full moon is in the sky, and the channels connecting the two realms are the most stable, and are not affected by the spatial torrents and rifts. When the secret realm is opened, the real person of Wendaofeng Palm Academy came out of the mountain and escorted the disciples under his seat into the forbidden area.
When the master and the disciple passed through a dense forest, Jing Hua instinctively sensed the fluctuations of spiritual power. It is obvious that there were protective formations on the periphery of the forbidden area, and the guards were very strict.
"Wuji Zhenren" discovered that the disciple Sun's expression changed and explained slowly: "'Light and Immortal Impermanence Crying Formation', a middle-level mysterious formation. There are many formations and restrictions in the forbidden area of this sect. When I entered the peak, did Lehe mention it to you?"
"Yes, Elder Le did mention it. But the disciple found that the spiritual wave was abnormal and couldn't help but want to find out."
“Hahaha…”
"Wuji Zhenren" smiled and said, "......Hua'er, I know that your formation talent is good. But the advancement is imminent, and consolidating the Taoist foundation is the top priority. As for the experience of formations and classics, after you successfully form a pill, you will have some kung fu to study and understand..."
The disciples under the class are about to enter the secret realm. "Wuji Zhenren" is in a very good mood, and he guides the key points of cultivation while walking.
"...... Speaking of which, ordinary monks are not as busy as you. The two spiritual fundamental body needs to practice two techniques. In addition, you need to spend more time on martial arts. In addition, swordsmanship, sticks, and formations, hahaha... Fortunately, you have extremely high spiritual talent, which saves a lot of time. Even so, you should pay attention to the principle and clear distinction between the main and the order..."
The two walked and chatted, entering a hidden valley. From a distance, the valley was full of ravines, the ground was clear, and the formation flags were everywhere, and the prototypes of the giant formation were vaguely visible.
"Wuji Zhenren" stopped at the entrance of the valley, reached out to take out something, and handed it to Jing Hua.
"Hua'er, according to your cultivation and combat power, you can protect yourself in the 'Nalan Realm'. However, things in the world are impermanent. Most of the previous disciples can return safely, but a few people have lost it. According to the news, there is something strange about the eternal land. If it is not necessary, you don't have to go too far..."
Jing Hua took things with both hands, and his eyes lit up. The "doll" had green face and fangs, black all over, and vaguely fine white fluff. It was a refined "Daowei".
"...You are the disciples who asked the Dao Peak to go out. The elders in the peak unanimously agreed to lend you the "Daowei" to defend yourself. The time is almost over, and the "Nalan Realm" is where the disciples of this sect are trialed. After entering, you don't have to look forward to your heart. Just act directly on your own."
"Disciples follow the teachings of the master."
Jing Hua accepted the "Daowei" and stepped into the valley. A fellow disciple came to lead him to the center of the formation, and then retreated one after another.
“Huhhhhhhh…”
All the array flags will automatically sway without wind. The time is not long, and a beam of white light will first lit up under Jing Hua's feet. The white light will light up in a spiral shape and gradually spread to the entire valley.
Jing Hua looked down and watched. The source of the white light was very familiar. It was the spiritual jade used by monks to buy and sell magic weapons and elixirs in daily life. The light shone across the valley. Roughly calculated that at least a hundred beams of light reached the sky.
"What a big deal..."
Jing Hua murmured to himself, his eyes flashing. In the "Yi Shen Sect", foundation-building cultivators and spirit-gathering disciples are not the backbone and have no help to the sect. However, in order to cultivate a core disciple, "Yi Shen Sect" is willing to spend a lot of money, even regardless of the reward.
Suddenly, Jing Hua's differences between sects and scattered cultivators became clearer. His personal eyesight was always exhausted, and only by standing at a high place could he look deeper and farther.
"Swish!"
The bright light burst out, and Jing Hua's body disappeared.
*********************
In the 766th year of the Bauhinia, Nalan World, Xique border.
"Lake Killarney" is a famous western scenic spot in the "Bauhinia Empire" and ranks the ninth largest lake in the world. The lake surface is as horizontal as a mirror, reflecting the blue sky, white clouds, green mountains and green trees, like a piece of flawless jade.
"It's so good..."
Not far from the lake, the sound of horse hooves sounded, and dozens of horses walked out of the forest. The horses were wearing various armors, some were bowed behind their backs, and some were hanging guns beside their saddles, looking like they were hunting. The knights were followed by two or three attendants, and some were armoured guards.
"Baron Oriental, Knight Wen's arrow just now was very magical, just right. Another hero has appeared in the 'Lion King Castle..."
The man who was talking was in his forties, blonde hair and blue eyes, and tall. He had a flattering smile on his face and his eyes narrowed into a slit.
"Haha, the Goth Baron has won the award. Wen'er has good archery skills, but she is still quite different from the Knight..."
Dongfang Qiming also smiled and responded to the compliment of the Gothic Baron.
Baron Oriental is also in his forties, with black hair and brown eyes, and a low figure, but his shoulders and thick back, making him look powerful. As the hereditary baron of the empire, the Dongfang family has always been stationed in the "Lion King Castle".
Among the nine barons around "Lake Killarney", "Lion King Castle" is the strongest, followed by "Millpan Castle", others such as Goth Baron and Baron Sander are slightly inferior. Several families are harmonious on the surface, but they are constantly in conflict. However, they are dangerous in the border areas in the distance, and no one wants to tear their faces apart.
Just now, Dongfang Qiming's eldest son Dongfang Wen tried his best, and killed two birds with one stone, which attracted a burst of colorful sounds. Dongfang Qiming's face remained silent and felt very proud.
"...Wener is young after all, and the road is still long... Oh, why didn't Baron Goth, Baron Miller come? "The Miller Castle is not far away, and we promised to go hunting and party together..."
"Hahaha, my cousin is so confused. Even if you can't come, it's good to send someone to send a letter. He... probably has a crush on which maid..."
"Hahaha......"
The Gothic Baron grinned, with a "you know" expression. The barons next to him laughed together, only Dongfang Qiming shook his head.
The background of this hunt by the lake was not simple. His Majesty Henry Thirteen of the Empire suddenly ordered the four children to be enfeoffed everywhere in the empire, leaving only the two-year-old son with him. There were rumors in China that the old emperor favored the new imperial concubine Defanie and was preparing to make his young son the heir.
Although the gossip of the imperial capital was novel, "Lake Killarney" was far away in Xiche, and several barons did not care about the ownership of the crown. However, the old emperor sent his third son White to Xiche. Prince White was a duke and had a group of retainers around him. The original fiefdom could not satisfy his appetite.
By mediating and dealing with the reasons for the aristocratic conflict, the prince gradually extended his hands around. Several marquises and counts have been running for generations, and there are many strong men and wise men in the family. They united, causing Prince White to suffer a few losses.
His Highness, the prince, was "understanding the righteousness" and did not choose to fight against the old marquis. The earls fought hard. He changed his gaze and turned his attention to the poorly powerful viscount and the baron, who were said to have the intention to approach "Lake Killarney".
Therefore, several barons made an appointment to hunt on the lakeside, which was actually discussing how to join forces and deal with the upcoming "storm". Baron Miller's absence at this moment casts a shadow on the party hunting.
Dongfang Qiming knew very well that with the cleverness of Goth, Sander and others, he would never be unable to see this. Could it be that Miller is so stupid and the danger of not understanding things? The prince has many retainers, and even if he surrenders, he is just a cannon fodder, a pawn, and other characters. How could he be as free as a person who is alone?
Taking advantage of the distance between the horses, Dongfang Qiming asked Goth with his eyes on everyone, and the Goth Baron shook his head slightly, and gently tapped the direction of "Millpan Castle" with his left hand.
Dongfang Qiming turned his head and saw no change on his face. The Goth Baron's meaning was very clear. He didn't know why Miller was absent, and he had sent his men to "Millpan Castle" to investigate.
