C916 Border crossings
It was almost noon.
A thousand miles north of Yan Yang City, in a stretch of forest, a rather precipitous mountain peak rose up from the ground.
The center area of the mountain peak was a flat platform about a thousand meters long and wide. It was about two meters tall and was sparkling and translucent, as if it was carved out of an enormous piece of white jade.
In the center of the white jade platform, there was a smooth white ball sticking out from the center of the platform. Pang Shuo had reached the extreme point of this ball, its diameter was at least a few hundred meters.
That sphere also contained countless profound runes.
The bottom part was tightly connected to the square stage, and where the two connected, the lines and lines within the square stage and the round ball were also connected, as if they were a perfect whole.
At this moment, the surroundings of the square platform was filled with a sea of people.
The cultivators of Pure Yang Sword Sect were all gathered to the south and west of the square, while the other two directions were occupied by cultivators from different parts of the Yan State. All of them were under the age of fifty, and their cultivation were almost all in the Sky Origin Realm.
"The only one with a cultivation in the Essence Condensation Realm is me!"
South of the square platform, Tang Huan sat cross-legged on the ground quietly, sighing in his heart.
This mountain peak was called the "Crossing Worlds Peak", and the square platform was called the "Crossing Worlds Platform". Every fifty years, the passage to the "Heavenly Desolate Secret Realm" would open up here. Not only did the Yan State have the Crossing Peaks and Terraces, the Sky Province, Hai Continent and the rest of the thirty-five prefectures also had them.
After the passage was opened, not everyone, even those of a certain age and cultivation level, could enter.
In order to smoothly pass through the passageway, one would also need to possess a "World Connecting Talisman." Every time the "Heavenly Desolate Secret Realm" opened a year before, there would be a certain number of "Crossing Talismans" that separated from the sphere.
This meant that there was a limit to the number of people who could enter the "Heavenly Desolate Secret Realm", and that the number of people could not exceed the "Barrier Opening Talisman". It did not mean that one could enter as many people as they wanted.
Eighty percent of the Yan State's "Realm Passing Talisman" was in the hands of the Pure Yang Sword Sect, and the other twenty percent was allocated by the Sword Sect to the other powers in the Yan State. Of course, with the Pure Yang Sword Sect's position and strength in the Yan State, he could definitely take all the "Crossing Talismans."
However, Pure Yang Sword Sect did not do such a thing that would easily attract the wrath of the masses.
Furthermore, eighty percent of the "Realm Opening Talisman" was more or less enough for Pure Yang Sword Sect. After all, not all of the Golden Sword disciples who met the requirements were willing to go to the "Heavenly Desolate Secret Realm", and there were many who did not want to take the risk and chose to stay in the Yan Yang City.
Just like Nie Kun, who was rank 12 on the Heavenly Rankings, he did not plan to enter the "Heavenly Desolate Secret Realm". As a result, he continued to carry out missions outside and did not return to the Yan Yang City.
Although Nie Kun did not return, nor did he give all the materials to him, Tang Huan still kept a mid-ranked Heavenly Soldier and gave it to him as part of the promise he made on that day.
Not only that, Tang Huan had also left a portion of the "Initial Spirit Heavenly Crystal" for Hu Xuan and the others.
With the low rank Heavenly Soldier s that he provided, Hu Xuan and the others had an advantage in Sword-fighting Villa. The accumulated points steadily increased, completely surpassing the standard for entering the "Sword Testing Grounds".
Three years later, when they came out of the "Heavenly Desolate Secret Realm", maybe they had already been promoted from iron sword disciples to copper sword disciples, or even silver sword disciples.
Tang Huan laughed in his heart, and his gaze swept his surroundings.
The lowest cultivation among the disciples of the Golden Sword Sect in Pure Yang Sword Sect was in the realm of Sky Origin. Among them, there were quite a few who had reached the origin realm, and some had even stepped into the third level. As for the swordsmen in the group of Pure Yang Sword Sect, at least half of them had reached the origin realm.
Generally speaking, the disciples of the Pure Yang Sword Sect were more than thirty-five years old. No matter what cultivation level they were in, their status would be promoted from a disciple of the seven divisions to a swordsman.
Amongst such a group of powerful and powerful people, Tang Huan of the Essence Condensation Realm was like a crane amongst a flock of chickens.
"Hmm?"
Suddenly, Tang Huan's mind moved, she subconsciously looked over, and the figure of a woman in a pink dress entered her line of sight. That person looked to be about twenty-five or twenty-six years old. His long black hair was casually tied behind his head, and his facial features were exquisite. His face was pretty, and his skin was tender and fair.
Her name was Yu Qingge, and she was the older sister of the Yu Mingjing he heavily injured back then. Just came out from seclusion a few days ago, and she was a Yin Calamity that had already passed the third tribulation. She was the second one of the seven disciples from the Golden Sword of the Pure Yang to have reached this level of cultivation.
As their four eyes met, Yu Qingge's beautiful eyes narrowed and a slight smile seemed to float on her delicate face. Qi Lian, who was beside her, had her expression darken as she gave a light snort from her nose.
The corner of Tang Huan's mouth slightly raised, his expression did not change in the slightest, but he secretly sneered in his heart.1
Yu Qingge's expression did not look abnormal at all, but he could faintly feel the murderous intent hidden deep within her beautiful eyes. Tang Huan knew that once he met her in the "Heavenly Desolate Secret Realm", she would definitely kill him quickly and not show any mercy.
But so what?
That "Heavenly Desolate Secret Realm" was extremely vast, forget about whether or not they could encounter it, even if they met again, it was still unknown who would die or who would lose. He had never activated the "Dragon Seal" that was gifted to him by the Yan Ancestor on his left chest, and if it really happened to Yu Qingge, it would not be a waste.
In the next moment, Tang Huan's gaze swept past Yu Qingge and Qi Lian, and landed on another handsome man that was as beautiful as jade. That person was precisely Leng Yu who was defeated by Tang Huan a few days ago. When he looked at Tang Huan, he did not conceal the dense hatred in his eyes at all.
With a sneer, Tang Huan stopped paying attention to his fellow sect members, and looked at Pang Shuo's square stage and the round ball.
Above the sky, the scorching sun was high up in the sky.
Noon had arrived!
According to what Tang Huan knew, the passage to the "Heavenly Desolate Secret Realm" would open at noon. The surrounding cultivators all followed Tang Huan's example and turned their attention to the "Realm Opening Terrace", looking at the center of the mountain peak, with eyes that were filled with anticipation.
"Rumble ?"
In just a few short breaths of time, the musical note seemed to pierce through the mountains and reach the nine heavens. It was so loud that it shook the earth, as if it had directly bombarded everyone's ears, and even their eardrums seemed to be pierced through.
