A total of twelve people from Caiyun Peak were qualified to participate in the Nanling event, and the other eleven were on Han Yao's spaceship.
"Junior Sister Ye, Junior Sister Lin, why don't you wait for us? Do you want to come on our spaceship and join us?" Ji Tianjiao shouted to Ye Liuyun and Lin Aoxue.
Ye Liuyun originally wanted to agree, but after thinking about it, he decided not to, because if they wanted to reach Tianyi Mountains quickly, there were many ways to do it.
"Eh? Well, senior sisters, you guys go first. My sister and I have some private matters to take care of." Ye Liuyun said.
Han Yao and the others smiled slightly and nodded.
"Okay, then you guys better hurry up. I heard that Tianyi City is very prosperous and is the first gathering point for cultivators in Nanling. We sisters are planning to go out for a stroll together when the time comes." Ji Tianjiao said with a smile.
Ji Tianjiao knew that it was Ye Liuyun's elixir that saved her, otherwise her place would have been replaced by someone else, so in the entire Caiyun Peak, she was considered one of the kindest disciples to Ye Liuyun.
"I understand. Three days at most. We will arrive within three days." Ye Liuyun replied.
In this way, Ji Tianjiao and the others also drove the spaceship and quickly left Ye Liuyun and the others behind. After about ten minutes, Ye Liuyun and Lin Aoxue were completely left behind by the crowd, and no one came to chat with them anymore.
"Ah! They should all have left. It's so annoying, Aoxue. I really want to tell that Tan Tai Mingyue that you are my wife and tell her to give up pursuing you." Ye Liuyun said angrily.
But Lin Aoxue also wanted to say this.
"How dare you talk about her? I also want to say that those people in Jiang Yan's group who have feelings for you make me want to kill them. I feel like you are wearing this kind of clothes just to make me angry." Lin Aoxue complained.
Ye Liuyun smiled awkwardly.
"My dear wife, calm down, calm down. This dress works wonders for me." Ye Liuyun immediately walked to Lin Aoxue and hugged her to comfort her.
"I can't be calm at all. Oh! I won't say anything more. My master has already sent us a message, asking us to wait for them in Wuyang Mountain." Lin Aoxue said.
When Ye Liuyun heard this, he quickly took out the map of Nanling and took a look. Wuyang Mountain was a mountain range they had to pass through to go to Tianyi Mountain Range. It was about half a day's journey from here, so they would be able to meet up with the people from Yunxia Sect in the afternoon.
The private matter they were talking about was the meeting with the people from Yunxia Sect.
"Okay, let's do some serious work while we have time. Master, please help me." Ye Liuyun greeted Lin Qingyou, then pushed Lin Aoxue to the ground.
This time, Lin Aoxue rarely resisted.
Lin Qingyou couldn't help but complain.
"You really treat your master as a tool, alas!" Lin Qingyou immediately released his divine consciousness and wrapped up the spaceship. In this way, the spaceship was almost invisible.
"Oh my, Aoxue, you taste more and more delicious. It's really hard to stop." Ye Liuyun said with a smile as he looked at Lin Aoxue under him.
"Tsk, quickly research the elixir that can make me pregnant. I'm afraid I'll be too bored being alone in the Supreme Induction Sect. I want to have a child to relieve my boredom." Lin Aoxue complained.
When Ye Liuyun said this, he felt a toothache.
"This is a bit troublesome, but I have a fun thing here that you can use to kill time if you are bored." Ye Liuyun took out the pregnancy fruit. This thing allows women to conceive children through their own blood without the need for men.
"What is this?" Lin Aoxue took the fruit curiously. The fruit looked like a baby.
"Pregnancy-pregnancy fruit. Didn't you say you were afraid of being bored? I don't know how long it will take for me to develop the pregnancy elixir. If you are really bored, just eat this. After eating it, you can conceive a child, but it will only be your own blood." Ye Liuyun said.
After hearing this, Lin Aoxue immediately took the fruit away with a smile. Of course, she definitely had no intention of eating it now.
"Good stuff, use this to relieve your boredom first." Lin Aoxue said.
After saying this, Lin Aoxue's unhappy mood disappeared, and she became motivated again. She suddenly turned over and pushed Ye Liuyun down, and then Ye Liuyun's exclamation and confusion were heard.
Ye Liuyun didn't quite understand why Lin Aoxue had such a strong desire for a child. He could only say that there was a difference between women's and men's thoughts. After all, a woman has lived two lives, and if she has someone she loves but cannot give birth to a child for the person she loves, then her life must be flawed.
Children are the fruit of love and the crystallization of love.
Time passed slowly. In the afternoon, at the top of a beautiful mountain range, Ye Liuyun and Lin Aoxue's spaceship gradually stopped and finally landed on the highest peak, which was Wuyang Mountain.
Ye Liuyun and Lin Aoxue found a conspicuous place and sat down, waiting for the arrival of the people from the Yunxia Sect.
About half an hour later, a large spaceship appeared in the sight of Ye Liuyun and Lin Aoxue, and they both stood up quickly.
The spaceship quickly landed in front of the two people.
I saw a familiar face flying down from the boat and landing in front of the two of them.
"Oh, Aoxue, Liuyu, we finally meet after half a year." Yun Yun led a group of Yunxia Sect disciples to greet them.
Although they hadn't seen each other for only half a year, for some reason, it felt like a long time had passed to Yun Yun and the others.
Lin Aoxue immediately ran over with a smile and gave Yun Yun a hug, while Ye Liuyun glanced at the others. They were all familiar faces, including Yun Xin in a white dress, He Zhiqiu, and other old faces.
"Senior Sister Nalan." Ye Liuyun hurriedly walked towards Nalan Yan. Nalan Yan had also come, and she had also reached the Dao Palace realm.
After seeing Ye Liuyun, Nalan Yan and others felt that they could hardly recognize Ye Liuyun. They felt that Ye Liuyun had changed so much, and it was like he had become a different person in just a few months.
"Ye, Sister Liuyu, you have changed so much?" Nalan Yan said in surprise.
Ye Liuyun chuckled, then walked up to Nalan Yan and whispered a few words. After listening, Nalan Yan finally reacted.
"Oh, it's the effect of the clothes I'm wearing. I knew it, it's only been a few months and the changes are so huge." Nalan Yan said with a smile.
Most of the people brought by Yunxia Sect were those sent back by Yunzong before. There was no other way. This group of people were the most qualified in Yunxia Sect. There were more than 30 people, and almost of them were cultivators at Dao Palace level. Even the returning elders of Yunzong were going to participate.
Because they are of the right age, many of them are under 200 years old.
Yun Yun spoke to Lin Aoxue alone for some words. After that, Ye Liuyun and Lin Aoxue boarded the Yunxia Sect spaceship and set off again.
"Hello, two junior sisters? I'm Qi Chaoying." Not long after the two of them got on the boat, a woman in a pink dress who looked very gentle walked up to Ye Liuyun and Lin Aoxue and greeted them.
To be honest, when Ye Liuyun saw the person for the first time, he almost didn't recognize him, because Qi Chaoying had changed so much. He went from an arrogant young man to a girl with a very girlish look. It was almost like he was a completely different person.
"Hey? Hello, Senior Sister Qi." Ye Liuyun smiled awkwardly.
Lin Aoxue didn't know how to describe the goodness of the person who envied her.
"Well, two junior sisters, when we go to the Nanling event, we must work together. Although you are now disciples of the Yun Sect, Master has already told me about your affairs." Qi Chaoying said with a smile.
Ye Liuyun and Lin Aoxue didn't know how to talk to Qi Chaoying. This guy had already reached the Dao Palace Jindan stage and his aptitude was really good.
But to be honest, if a fight really breaks out, Ye Liuyun may be able to sweep away all the disciples and elders of the Yunxia Sect by himself. It can only be said that in half a year, Ye Liuyun's progress can be described as rapid.
Ye Liuyun is not Lin Aoxue. There are not many people here. The only one who has a particularly good relationship with Ye Liuyun is Nalan Yan, so Ye Liuyun is almost always talking to Nalan Yan.
I asked about some recent events in the sect, but fortunately, it was only half a year, so nothing much happened.
Afterwards, Ye Liuyun secretly gave Nalan Yan some pills, mainly life-saving pills. These pills were to be considered as Ye Liuyun's return to the Yunxia Sect.
Nalan Yan knew that Ye Liuyun's elixir was precious, so she accepted it on behalf of Yunxia Sect.
The purpose of this meeting was actually to let Lin Aoxue get to know the disciples of Yunxia Sect who came to participate in the Nanling event. Yun Yun's intention was to let Lin Aoxue help Yunxia Sect if he could. He didn't ask them to achieve good results, as long as there were not too many casualties.
This is because many of the trials at the Nanling Festival involve risk of death, which does not mean there is no danger at all.
Chapter 322 The Real Cultivation World (6000 words)
But Ye Liuyun just gave Nalan Yan a bunch of life-saving pills, which can be regarded as indirectly saving the life of the Yunxia Sect cultivator.
Ye Liuyun was repaying a drop of kindness with a spring of water. After all, apart from joining the Yunxia Sect, she didn't seem to have gained much benefit.
They ran into quite a few cultivators along the way. The closer they got to their destination, the more cultivators there were on the road, of all shapes and sizes, like thousands of immortals paying tribute. But that was normal, because the place they were going to was the real cultivation world of Nanling, the Northern Region.
Nanling is divided into two regions, north and south. The southern region is where mortals gather, while the northern region is the place for cultivation.
However, the journey was not particularly peaceful. It was common to see monks ambushing and killing passing monks on the road, and then robbing them of their belongings.
They specifically targeted cultivators who were few in number or alone. They would not dare to cause trouble for a group of Taoist monks on the boat like the Yunxia Sect.
Around dusk on the third day, the Yunxia Sect's spaceship passed through Lingzhou Prefecture in the southern region, penetrated a barrier that was like a water curtain, and finally entered a vast mountain area.
This place is the northern region of Nanling. The northern region is completely separated from the secular world and is not under the jurisdiction of the secular court. Only cultivation forces and monsters live here, so you can see many large and small forces scattered around on the road.
A force like the Yunxia Sect would be at most a slightly larger small sect in the Northern Territory.
In addition to the Supreme Induction Sect, there are four other large sects entrenched in this area. However, the Supreme Induction Sect occupies the Tianyi Mountains area, which has the most abundant spiritual energy. The Tianyi Mountains are considered the most resource-rich area in the Northern Territory, accounting for two-fifths of the area of the Northern Territory. The other four large sects divide the remaining three-fifths of the land.
To the south of the Tianyi Mountains is the Tianduan Mountains. Of course, the Tianyi Mountains are the largest branch of the Tianduan Mountains.
The four major sects are the Xuanming Water Controlling Sect, the Chaoyang Moon Worshipping Sect, the Eight Desolations Supreme Palace, and the Yin Yang Hedao Palace.
Ye Liuyun and his team are currently flying in the sphere of influence of the Yin-Yang Hedao Palace in the Northern Territory, and the Tai Shang Ganying Sect is in the central part.
Rather than saying that this Nanling event was organized by the Supreme Induction Sect, it would be better to say that it was jointly organized by the five major sects, but the Supreme Induction Sect was the main one.
This time, not only the Supreme Induction Sect will take this opportunity to recruit outstanding disciples, but the other four sects can also take this opportunity to recruit some outstanding disciples. Just because the Supreme Induction Sect doesn't like something doesn't mean that the other four sects don't like it either.
After entering the Northern Territory, there were even more people passing by. Here, cultivators were considered common people. There were no ordinary people, and the weakest were cultivators at the Lingxi Realm.
In the mountains below, there is a city every few meters, and the city is full of cultivators. When an area is full of cultivators, it is actually no different from the secular world.
However, the cities here are obviously much more advanced than those in the secular world. Special magic weapons, formation powers, and even teleportation portals can be seen everywhere. The Northern Territory is definitely a true cultivation civilization.
By the way, the intermediate sect in the southern region is the spokesperson of the Supreme Sense of Response Sect.
As for the sects in the Southern Region, they are generally not as strong as those in the Northern Region, whether in terms of their methods or the quality of their cultivators. This is why it was said before that the Yunxia Sect is located in a barren area.
"Tsk tsk, this is the real world of cultivation." Ye Liuyun exclaimed as he stood at the bow and looked at the scene below.
If I live here, there is no need to hide my identity as a monk.
"Well, Aoxue, I'm very curious, why doesn't our sect move here to live? Wouldn't it be more comfortable here?" Ye Liuyun asked curiously.
The disciples of Yunxia Sect were also watching the scenery below. Their reactions were similar to Ye Liuyun's. They all felt like they had run from the countryside to the provincial capital.
"You should learn more about the cultivation world. I can tell you clearly that the northern region of Nanling is the real cultivation world. There are only cultivators and no mortals here. Then there is the southern region. The southern region is currently controlled by the secular court. Most of the sects in the secular world have two identities."
"The first type is the branch sent by the Northern Territory sect. The Northern Territory, which is only populated by cultivators, is much more developed in civilization than the Southern Territory. But at the same time, this place is not conducive to the birth of truly outstanding talents. The offspring born between cultivators must be cultivators, but it is also difficult for them to have particularly outstanding qualifications. This is the price to pay."
"That's why the major sects would send their subordinates to the areas where mortals live in the Southern Territory. The medium-sized sects in the Southern Territory are more or less related to the major sects in the Northern Territory." Lin Aoxue said.
As for the second type, they are exiled sinners.
Lin Aoxue also took the opportunity to talk about the relationship between Tianzong and Taishang Ganying Sect. The founder of Tianzong was a disciple of Taishang Ganying Sect, but because he violated the sect's rules, he was exiled to the Yunhai Mountains. Several other medium-sized sects affiliated with Taishang Ganying Sect were more or less in the same situation, and Yunzong was no exception.
According to Lin Junxian, the founder of Tianzong was framed. The Taishang Ganying Sect has 108 peaks, or 108 veins, and Tianzong is one of them. It is said that Tianzong was the vein with the greatest possibility of becoming the main peak back then.
But for some reason, the entire lineage was suddenly exiled, and then the Tianzong was destroyed. This might be the result of the failure of the internal struggle. Of course, she didn't know the specific situation.
After listening to this, Ye Liuyun seemed to be thinking about something. He could only say that it was difficult to judge what was going on before knowing the truth, but there must be a reason anyway.
Lin Aoxue will know the reason sooner or later, but Ye Liuyun doesn’t have any idea about it, because this matter has nothing to do with her. As long as Lin Aoxue is not hurt, she doesn’t care.
The spaceship flew for some distance and finally arrived at Tianyi City, the most prosperous monastic city in the Northern Territory, around nine o'clock in the evening.
Looking at Tianyi City from afar, there is a strong Taoist and modern atmosphere. The city is very large, larger than any other city in the secular world of Nanling. It is a real fairyland.
The city walls are over a thousand meters high and are surrounded by many large formations. It can basically be said to be an iron wall. The city is so strong that even a saint in the Five Elements Realm of the Nirvana Secret Realm would find it difficult to break through.
There are almost no cultivators in the entire Nanling Mountains who can break through this place. It can be said to be a holy place for cultivators. Although it is already late at night, this place is dazzling. From afar, Ye Liuyun and his companions feel like they are on a plane and back to the city on Earth.
Or perhaps it is impossible for the Earth to build such a prosperous city. With the scale of this city, it is no problem to accommodate tens of millions of monks. As their spaceship gets closer to this place, they can feel more and more the grandeur of this place.
"Master, is this your first time here?" Some disciples of the Yunxia Sect couldn't help but look at Yun Yun.
Yun Yun's eyes at this moment were full of longing. It was obvious that this was her first time here. The prosperity of this place had an impact on her soul no less than that of other people.
But as the leader of a sect, she still needs to remain calm.
“Well, if it weren’t for the Nanling Grand Event, outside cultivators would basically not be allowed to enter this place.” Yun Yun said helplessly.
There is a passage on the city wall specially for spacecraft to enter. There is no charge for entering or exiting here. The Supreme Induction Sect has no shortage of this entrance fee. Only the sect in the southern region is too poor and can only collect money in various ways.
The spaceship penetrated a layer of barrier and passed through a long tunnel, and finally arrived at a platform specially designed for parking spaceships.
"Okay, everyone, we're here." Yun Yun turned around and announced to everyone.
However, as soon as their spaceship landed, a team of practitioners wearing Taoist robes came over.
These people's dress is very strange. How to put it? It would be better to say that they are wearing ancient-style clothing that is similar to modern clothing on Earth rather than Taoist robes. At least compared with their dress, there is a difference between modern people and ancient people.
The last time he was in the Black Wind Mountains, Ye Liuyun discovered that some people’s attire was out of tune with theirs. Now he understood that it was because of the difference in clothing styles.
"Hello, welcome to Tianyi City. We are monks from the Tianyi City Patrol Team. You are outside monks, right? According to the rules, outside monks entering Tianyi City for the first time need to register their identities." A young monk in white said with a smile.
As the sect leader, Yun Yun naturally stepped forward to respond.
"Hello, we are here to participate in the Nanling event. We are also a subordinate sect directly under the Supreme Induction Sect." Yun Yun gestured to the disciple with the token issued by the Supreme Induction Sect.
The young man took the token, looked at it, and nodded. He then asked his fellow disciples behind him to check the identity tokens of others. After they registered everyone's information with a magical device similar to a tablet computer, they spoke.
"Okay, fellow Daoist, the Nanling Grand Event will not officially begin for another four days. During these four days, you can enjoy the scenery and prosperity of Tianyi City again. However, since you are not native cultivators of the Northern Territory and do not have the status of a native resident of the Northern Territory, do not leave the city casually."
After they finished speaking, they left, and Yun Yun waved her hand to take the spaceship away.
Ye Liuyun and Lin Aoxue also had to separate from them, after all, they were nominally disciples of the Yun Sect.
"Master, the two of us have to go find the Yun Sect's headquarters. We have to separate for the time being." Lin Aoxue said to Yun Yun.
"Well, go ahead. You guys should be careful since you're new here." Yun Yun instructed.
