The Tao is far away

The treasure ship of Tianji Gate arrived at a canyon in the south. The canyon was extremely desolate and was out of place with the south which was almost entirely green.

Wang Chi and others got off the boat and settled on a flat ground.

This small flat land is divided into six areas, corresponding to the six sects of the South Country.

They are Chunyang Sect, Tianji Sect, Xuyue Sect, Wuling Sect, Jujian Villa and Wanmu Sect.

Among them, Chunyang Sect is the number one sect in the South Country and is the leader of the South Country in the Southern Alliance. The Tianji Sect that follows closely behind has always attempted to replace it. Now the strength of both parties is almost the same, and they only lack a key opportunity.

Wang Chi glanced at the disciples from other sects. The disciples from Chunyang Sect all looked like ascetics, and they were all meditating with their eyes closed.

Xuyue Sect is unique, with all the female disciples being outstanding in appearance. Except for the disciples from Chunyang Sect, the male disciples from other sects all show their true colors with fiery eyes.

The disciples of the Wuling Sect look almost the same as the disciples of the Tianji Sect, and there is nothing special about them.

The Giant Sword Villa is just as its name suggests, every monk carries a giant sword on his back.

The most peculiar thing about the Wanmu Sect is that every disciple has a puppet that looks like it is made of wood and is extremely tall. Judging from the aura it emits, some of the puppets actually have the level of a foundation-building cultivator.

Wang Chi frowned and prayed secretly in his heart that he would never meet them.

At this time, a white-haired old man from the Chunyang Sect came to the Tianji Sect’s headquarters and said with a smile: “Elder Sun, after not seeing you for many years, your cultivation has improved a lot, and there are signs that you have entered the late stage.”

Elder Sun of Tianji Sect frowned slightly, as if he had no good feelings towards the person in front of him, but he still forced a smile: "Elder Zhao, please don't make fun of me. Everyone in the South Country knows that you are a great man in the late Jindan stage. I'm afraid you will soon advance to the king realm. Here, I congratulate Elder Zhao in advance."

Elder Zhao waved his hand and said carelessly: "Your Tianji Sect is now in great glory. His Highness Xiao's first stop after going to the Southern Territory Alliance is Tianji Sect. This has added a lot of glory to our Southern Country's immortal cultivation world!"

The eyes of other sect elders also turned here.

Elder Sun laughed secretly in his heart, isn't it just that His Highness Xiao has never visited your number one sect in the Southern Kingdom? What is there to be upset about?

"We, the people below, should not speculate on His Highness Xiao's thoughts, lest we be criticized."

……

Time passed quietly like a silent stream, minute by minute, and the elders from various sects finally finished their talks.

"Boys, it's time to begin!" An elder from some sect shouted at the top of his lungs.

At this moment, six elders representing the six sects gathered together, and colorful light suddenly burst out from beside them.

The lights intertwined with each other, and a six-colored array pattern suddenly appeared under their feet.

The six elders then cast another spell into the formation pattern, and the formation pattern slowly rose up, and a bright light shot straight to the center of the canyon.

The space in the center of the canyon began to distort continuously, producing wave after wave of fluctuations. Gradually, the central space began to turn black and purple, and a light curtain similar to a portal slowly appeared.

It turns out that the space here was originally a small part of the fallen Tianshu Holy Land.

Back then, after the Tianshu Star inexplicably disintegrated and fell, it was divided up by a number of powerful forces such as Donghuang, Nanling, and Beiyuan. Later, with the intervention of several other holy places, only half of the Tianshu Star remains.

This secret realm was hidden here by a powerful person with the support of the Muyu Empire. It requires the simultaneous presence of the six sects of the Southern Kingdom to open it, and only Qi-refining cultivators are allowed to enter.

The inner elixir of a unique monster inside is an indispensable material for refining the foundation-building elixir.

"lets go!"

The disciples of the six sects flashed and jumped into the light curtain one after another.

Wang Chi looked at the disciples rushing in and sighed softly, because he knew very well that there were many dangers hidden inside.

Wang Chi noticed that besides himself, there were two other people who had not yet left. One was Han Yan, and the other was a woman in white with short hair and a half-ghost mask.

Wang Chi looked at the figure and felt that it was somewhat familiar. He used his spiritual sense to scan it, but was unable to make out what it was.

The light curtain was gradually disappearing. Wang Chi leaped up and rushed into the light curtain.

Standing in the curtain of light, there are stars all around, as if you are in the vast universe, illusory, with no end in sight.

Some monks adjusted their direction and jumped out of the passage. Just when Wang Chi was about to jump out, he found that the woman in white was not far from him. Although she was wearing a half mask covering her mouth, Wang Chi was shocked beyond words when their eyes met.

He was very familiar with those eyes.

Xu Qianyu!

What is she, a person with natural talent, doing here?

Wang Chi flew towards Xu Qianyu, his cloud-stepping boots flashed a ray of light, and Wang Chi instantly appeared beside Xu Qianyu, holding her wrist and asking: "What are you doing here? Go back quickly, there is still time!"

Xu Qianyu replied coldly: "If you can come, why can't I come?"

Wang Chi was speechless for a moment. He had not looked for her since the Nine Peaks Competition, and he didn't know how she was doing recently.

"Now is not the time to be angry, go back!"

"No!"

Just when Wang Chi wanted to throw Xu Qianyu out, a white figure carrying a light blade rushed towards the two of them.

Wang Chi suddenly pushed Xu Qianyu away and instantly dodged to the side, narrowly avoiding the attack.

Another blade of light came.

"Be careful!" Xu Qianyu shouted loudly, but was kicked into the passage by the white figure.

Hearing Xu Qianyu's call, Wang Chi dodged the light blade by leaning sideways. After he managed to steady his body, he was kicked into the passage by the white figure.

"Bai Yun, it's you, old witch!"

Before falling out of the passage, Wang Chi saw clearly the black-patterned mask on the white figure's face. It was the master of Baixue Peak.

Three months ago, Wang Chi almost died at her hands.

In the outer canyon, a blue light landed with a bang, and then rushed to the second elder and asked angrily: "You old thing, didn't you stop Xiaoyu?"

The second elder looked confused, not knowing what Tianqin meant by this: "What Xiaoyu?"

"It's Xu Qianyu, my apprentice. I only found out that she secretly came to participate in the trial after I looked at the list."

"Didn't you count the number of people, old man?" Tianqin shouted angrily.

In fact, Tianqin was not that concerned about Xu Qianyu. She could no longer rely on the Yuanling body. Now she was hoping that Xu Qianyu could tie Wang Chi down, so that she could get a share by following His Highness Xiao.

"Are you talking about your disciple with ice-type spiritual roots?"

"Nonsense, you old thing are really blind." Tianqin did not give the second elder any face in front of other elders of the sect.

“Hahaha, your family is really full of talented people. Even disciples with natural spiritual roots are here.” The elder of Chunyang Sect chuckled.

"If Xiaoyu doesn't come back, just wait and see!" Tianqin pointed at the second elder's nose and said harshly.

The second elder was dumbfounded. If Xu Qianyu didn't come back, he would be finished.
