Chapter 155 - PreparedAfter reaching the peak of the Green h.e.l.lish Mountain, Xiang Yun finally felt it. What did it mean to be at the peak of the mountain, to have a view of all the smaller mountains?!
At this moment, standing on the peak of the mountain, with the sea of clouds roiling in all directions and the white clouds floating beneath his feet, Xiang Yun felt as if he was stepping on the sea of clouds.
He looked to the west, east, and south and could see that deep within the clouds, there were three gigantic illusions shining brightly like three buddhist lights.
"This should be the Snow Dragon Sect, Spirit Channeling Sect, and Joyous Sect right?"Xiang Yun had seen the top of the East Flower Gate once before, and had emitted the same radiance. He had heard from the two gatekeeping disciples, Zhou Qing and He Tong, that this radiance was emitted by their sect"s Spirit Gathering Array.
However, the radiance emitted by the Spirit Gathering Formation of the Eastern Flower Sect was obviously not as dazzling as these three spots of light. It was obvious that the Spirit Gathering Formation of the Eastern Flower Sect was of a lower level than the three great sects.
Presumably, if those ordinary sects were to build their own sects here, they would wake up in the morning and see these three dazzling lights. This would give rise to a huge amount of pressure.
However, Xiang Yun did not care about this at all. As soon as he reached the summit, he simply looked in all directions for a while before starting to survey the topography of the Qing Ming Mountain Range.
At the peak of the mountain, other than a solitary peak that pierced the sky like a treasured sword, the rest of the mountain was flat. At the peak of the mountain, other than a solitary peak that pierced the clouds like a treasured sword, the other parts were flat.
Xiang Yun observed his surroundings at the top of the mountain before finally opening the backpack on his back and taking out the already prepared compa.s.s.
In his previous life, Xiang Yun had been influenced by his grandfather. Although he was not proficient in the Five Elements Arts, he had opened his mouth and started fiddling with all sorts of Wind and Water terms.
Thanks to his experience, Xiang Yun had learnt a little about Feng Shui and Feng Shui.
Even though Xiang Yun felt that his grandfather"s skills were all just for fooling people, the matter of building a sect was extremely important. For the sake of peace of mind, he still decided to test the waters of the ocean.
At the very least, he had to determine the general location in which the Sovereign"s training room would be built.
The compa.s.s of this foreign world was somewhat different from the compa.s.s Xiang Yun had seen in his previous life. The names of each position had changed, but their concepts were still the same.
They placed all the information of the universe at all levels, such as the stars in the sky, all things represented by the five elements on the ground, and all matters related to heaven and earth, onto the compa.s.s, allowing him to perform simple azimuth deductions.
Holding the compa.s.s in his hand, Xiang Yun looked for the spot directly to the east, according to the range the compa.s.s indicated.
His grandfather had once said that the position to the east was: Shake of the divination. It represented the long male and belonged to the wood. Also known as the Azure Dragon.
The quality of the East can affect the luck of a person, the East should be slightly higher, that is to say, the green dragon rising, the wealth entering into the Lu, but also not too high, the East is a sunny formula, too high is the Shunyang, the so-called extreme will be reversed.
Xiang Yun was currently thinking of following the southeast direction and finding a flat and open area so that he could set up the Sect Master"s cultivation room.He followed the path in the east. Most of the places he pa.s.sed were b.u.mpy and b.u.mpy. He did not find any flat areas where he could build buildings. Circling the jagged stone forest, Xiang Yun saw that he was about to reach the edge of the cliff.
Suddenly, Xiang Yun discovered a round depression in the ground in front of him. Within the depression was a pool of clear water, probably stored as rainwater. The four sides were filled with strange, rugged rocks, just like an eye.This depression looked no different from an ordinary depression, but Xiang Yun"s spiritual sense was now extremely sharp. With a single glance, he discovered that the surface of this depression actually had dense, misty threads of air rising up from it.
More importantly, the cloud power here seemed to be much richer than in other places. It was as if wisps of cloud power were continuously gushing out of the water!
"Si!" Xiang Yun"s heart suddenly moved!"Green Dragon Water!"
He remembered that his grandfather had once said: "If the east is sunken, it would be natural to see water. It would be said that the green dragon obtains water. This kind of land is definitely a land of wind and water!" This was something that his grandfather had guaranteed him when he patted his chest.
Xiang Yun had originally thought that his grandfather had randomly made things up to play with him, but he hadn"t taken it seriously either. He hadn"t thought that he would actually encounter "Azure Dragon"s Water" today. This sort of terrain was exactly the same as the Feng Shui terrain that the old man had described.
"This …"
Xiang Yun was momentarily a little taken aback, thinking: Could it be that his grandfather really understands Feng Shui Mystics? Otherwise, how would they know all this?
For a time, Xiang Yun couldn"t help but begin guessing in his heart. Those nonsense that his grandfather had once told him seemed to be nonsense, but he didn"t know which were the real ones, and which were the fake ones. Could it all be true?
"Impossible?" Thinking up to here, Xiang Yun shook his head in denial.This was because his grandfather had once said that there were many bizarre and mystical stories, many of which Xiang Yun had never even heard before. How could these stories be true?
Xiang Yun did not care about all this. The cloud energy here was much thicker than in any other place. Xiang Yun did not doubt it. He thought that if the Sect Master"s cultivation room was built here, it would definitely be greatly beneficial.
He immediately took out the ring he wore on his middle finger. This storage ring had two orders for the construction of the sect!Xiang Yun stroked the Black Ember Ring"s smooth surface, his heart rather excited. He could finally take a look at the sect construction token.
He didn"t know what kind of phenomenon would happen when he used the construction token, let alone the "Sect Leader"s Cultivation Room Construction Token". This was a miraculous building that could increase his training speed by a factor of two, but he didn"t know what it would look like.
Immediately, with a thought, the storage ring in Xiang Yun"s hand flashed, and a black token appeared in his hand. It was the Sect Master"s Construction Order!
Xiang Yun thought, he was preparing to use this construction token!
Suddenly! Xiang Yun felt a dangerous aura enveloping him, all the hairs on his body standing up.
"Danger!"This was an instinctive perception of danger that he had developed after cultivating the Art of Creation. In an instant, Xiang Yun"s body flew outwards without any warning, his speed so fast that it was hard to look at!
However, the moment Xiang Yunfei leapt forward, a cold light flashed from the spot where he had been standing, instantly sinking into the ground!
After this cold light entered the mountain, it was actually like tofu being cut open. A protruding mountain rock was directly split into two halves. The cut surface was as smooth as a mirror!
After Xiang Yun had rolled out, he turned around to look at the scene behind him and immediately broke out in a cold sweat!"What a sharp sword Qi!"
Xiang Yun had seen Xiang Fei"s sword energy before. With a single glance, he could tell that this sword energy was sharp and not much weaker than Xiang Fei"s!
"Hehe, what a nimble kid. Your reaction is really fast."
Right at this moment, several figures walked out from behind a mountain rock not too far away. The person leading them was a white-clothed middle-aged man.
The latter had a tall stature, a cold expression, and an extremely hard facial outline. At this moment, his lips were still curled into a cold and playful smile.
Behind him followed seven or eight young men. They were all dressed in white, and each of them had swords sheathed at their waists. All of their expressions were unfriendly, and their eyes revealed a fierce light!The one who spoke was the old man. In his hand was an azure treasured sword that glimmered with a cold light. Obviously, the sharp sword Qi from earlier was the one he had released.
"Who are you people? I don"t know you. Why did you sneak attack me?"Xiang Yun looked at the few people walking over, his pupils contracting slightly. He discovered that these people were very unfamiliar with him, clearly never having met before.
At this moment, another mocking laughter was heard.
"Haha, long time no see. Your Highness, why did you come all the way up here? You didn"t even greet me, I"ll find someone to guide you here, right?"
Xiang Yun looked towards the source of the voice, only to see a figure slowly ascending the mountain peak not far away. This person was dressed in a brown fox fur coat with a jade belt encircling his waist.
The person was in his early twenties and had a handsome face. However, there was a hint of Yin energy on his face and his face was slightly pale. At the moment, there were two white robed men supporting him.The moment Xiang Yun saw this youth, he immediately felt a sense of familiarity with him.
"Heh heh, your highness, your highness has forgotten too much. I"m afraid you"ve already forgotten who I am. Allow me to introduce myself. I"m Snow Dragon Sect"s Young Clan Master, Zheng Yufeng!""Zheng Yufeng!"
Upon hearing this name, Xiang Yun immediately thought of that youth who had argued with Fatty Niu in the City Lord"s Mansion over a month ago.
Back then, when the latter fought with the ox fatty, he was directly beaten to a pulp by the ox fatty, and even crippled his dantian. The young man in front of him was none other than this person in front of him!"It"s you!"
Zheng Yufeng smiled coldly, "Looks like it"s a great honor for His Highness to remember me. Back then, His Highness and that Young Master Niu had left a deep impression on me!"
"Hmph, you want revenge?" Xiang Yun asked, his gaze cold.
"Hey, Crown Prince, what are you saying? We have met before, and we can barely be considered friends. Can this friend reminisce about old times?" Zheng Yufeng teased.
"Humph, how did you find me!" Xiang Yun naturally did not believe Zheng Yufeng"s words. These people had surrounded him; they had clearly come prepared!Zheng Yufeng immediately laughed out loud upon hearing this!
"Hehe, your highness, this can only be considered your bad luck. You just happened to be discovered by our disciples who were touring the mountain at the foot of the mountain. So I hastily brought some people to welcome your highness."
As he spoke, Zheng Yufeng looked around. Seeing that no one was around, his laughter became even more unbridled!
"Your Highness, you"re the dignified crown prince. How come you don"t even bring a follower when you travel? If you"re not careful and your feet slip and you fall from the top of the mountain, wouldn"t there be no messenger?" The latter"s threatening intention was clear in his words.
"Hehe, young master Zheng, you"re really worried for my safety. But since we"re reminiscing about old times, why bring so many people? Wouldn"t it be better if young master Zheng came alone?"On the surface, Xiang Yun was talking to Zheng Yufeng, but his gaze was quietly sizing up the people around Zheng Yufeng.
Judging from their attire, they were all wearing white. It was likely that they were all disciples of the Snow Dragon Sect.
He stealthily sensed the energy fluctuations on their bodies and realized that he was right.The energy within the bodies of the youngsters from the Snow Dragon Sect surged. Their auras were steady and did not lose to Xiang Yun"s manor guards, Xie Hong. It was clear that these people were all Seven Cloud Realm martial pract.i.tioners!
When Xiang Yun"s attention was focused on the white-robed old man standing beside Zheng Yufeng, his gaze suddenly froze.
Although the latter"s body did not fluctuate in terms of energy, a faint glow of light could be seen within his eyes, giving Xiang Yun an invisible sense of oppression.
And that sword strike had undoubtedly exposed his cultivation. This person was definitely an expert of the Yellow Cloud Realm!
This time, the other party had clearly already made absolute preparations. At the same time that Xiang Yun"s heart sank, he was also extremely doubtful.This time, he came here carefully. Moreover, no one had told him the date of his arrival, so how could they have discovered him? Could it be that he really was accidentally discovered?
"Your Highness, since the others are already here, why don"t you come to our Snow Dragon"s Gate?" Zheng Yufeng said.
"I don"t think so, right?" Xiang Yun smiled as he shook his head.
"I"m afraid that this matter cannot be decided by His Highness, right?" Zheng Yufeng laughed sinisterly.
