C358 Mountain Ranges Continuous
The ancient bronze token was engraved with complicated patterns. It was somewhat similar to the divine patterns that Lin Xuan had previously learned, but it was not exactly the same.
The combination and arrangement of divine patterns were ever-changing. Even those formation artists who had cultivated this Dao for hundreds of years and were renowned throughout the world could not fully comprehend it.
Under the guidance of Elder Qi Xiu, the remaining disciples of the academy took out the bronze tokens and poured pure spiritual energy into them.
Almost at the same time, a powerful suction force came from the void, and then the whole world seemed to have been split open by someone, as a huge spatial crack appeared.
Under the miraculous effects of the bronze token, people were sucked into it from time to time, and it flashed and disappeared.
Vaguely, one could feel the desolate and ancient aura within it. It was a complete small world.
However, the Dao Art was deathly still now, and its vitality was practically on the verge of extinction.
Lin Xuan looked at the few people beside him and asked curiously, "If we enter the secret realm, will we be together, or will we appear anywhere?"
Hearing this, the few of them shook their heads. Even Shen Muqing did not know what was going on inside.
"Take these few Sound Transmission Talismans well. If we enter, we will be separated. If we are within a hundred miles, we will be able to sense it. We can use this to meet up!"
Lin Xuan took out three Sound Transmission Talismans from his storage ring and divided them with Shen Qingfeng, Shen Muqing, and Yaen Chixiao. This was something he had refined with real precious materials in the academy before he came.
Now, Lin Xuan's attainment in formation patterns was also increasing, and he was already able to refine Sound Transmission Talismans that spanned over a hundred miles.
"Alright."
Yaen Chixiao smiled and received the Sound Transmission Talisman.
"They have already entered. We do not need to hesitate. If we are late, the good stuff will be taken by someone first!"
Lin Xuan laughed loudly and poured his spiritual energy into the bronze token. Almost at the same time, he was pulled into the desolate spatial rift like an invisible tentacle.
Behind him, Shen Muqing and the others followed closely and made a move.
However, Lin Xuan's back was covered by the misty fog and fog, so he could not see clearly. He could only place all of his focus in front of him.
After passing through the endless darkness, a glaring light suddenly appeared in front of Lin Xuan's eyes.
In the next moment, he separated himself from the passageway in the void. The light was so bright that it seemed like it was daytime.
Lin Xuan found himself in a mountain range. There was no sun above his head, but this world was very bright.
Under his feet, there were many valleys and ravines. Ancient trees towered into the sky, and fragrant grass grew everywhere. It was a verdant and lush place, as if it was a primitive land.
There were many birds and beasts in the mountain range, and there was no deathly stillness at all.
Such a scene puzzled Lin Xuan.
"Did I come to the Mysterious Underworld Realm? Didn't you say that this is a place of deathly stillness where even life is about to be extinguished?"
"But what exactly is going on in front of me? It doesn't seem like life force is about to be extinguished?"
The deathly stillness of the Dao Art had barely affected Shen Yan. If he didn't carefully sense it, it would be almost impossible for him to sense it.
Only when he drew the Divine Crest did he realize that the Laws of this world had been lost, and there was no reaction from him.
"Right, the Dao Art is deathly silent, but this world hasn't completely perished yet, so there's still life remaining."
Lin Xuan seemed to have understood something. This secret realm was different from what he had imagined.
Furthermore, just like what he had said before, it was separated from Shen Muqing and the others and did not appear in the same place.
"It is said that this place is thousands of miles wide. To us cultivators, it is only four hours of traveling."
Lin Xuan muttered to himself. He wasn't too worried. He found a direction and started flying. Although the Daoist magic suppressed him and prevented him from flying, this had nothing to do with Lin Xuan. He wasn't a Spirit Master to begin with.
With the strength of his physical body, Lin Xuan could leap across the heavens and earth. It wasn't much different from flying on a rainbow.
He was like a dragon returning to the four seas. He was like a fish in water in this place, not being suppressed at all.
The suppression of the domain from before had not been felt in this place at all.
In the mountain forest, he swiftly descended and startled the beasts.
According to the academy, no one had stepped foot in this place for nearly a hundred years. It was a primitive scene. The thick trunk was like a giant pillar that supported the sky. The black vines intertwined with each other in the forest.
However, after Lin Xuan sped along for a while, he realized that something was not right.
"Why do I feel that this vast mountain range alone is hundreds of miles long?"
His current speed was extremely fast. In just an hour, he had already passed through the endless mountain range.
However, this endless mountain range seemed to have no end, and it was completely illogical.
If this place was the inner sect of Profound Nether Sect, there shouldn't be so many valleys here.
If that was the case, how big would this small world be?
Moreover, the strangest thing was that he had been in this small world for such a long time, but he hadn't encountered anyone else, even if it was a thousand miles wide world. It was impossible that not a single person would be able to touch it.
With doubts in his heart, Lin Xuan felt that he had fallen into some kind of maze.
But after that, he shook his head and denied it. In this world of Dao Arts that was deathly silent, divine patterns were ineffective. How could a formation be effective?
"Could it be that... this small world is definitely more than a thousand miles wide?"
A thousand miles could be a thousand miles, two thousand miles...
Lin Xuan took a deep breath. In order to break his doubts, he used the Swimming Dragon Step Arts once again to travel through the mountain range. After an hour, he finally saw a vast land that stretched as far as the eye could see.
"Wu, this place is really huge. The deity who created this small world must have great ambitions, and he wants to be on par with the great immortal sects."
Unfortunately, it was still just a wishful thinking in the end.
Within the Immortal Sect's great sects, Which one of them didn't have a long history and had existed since ancient times? They had given birth to more than one Saint, and there were even peerless geniuses who had achieved the Dao and achieved the Sovereign Realm in the sacred grounds of the immortal sects.
Lin Xuan finally heaved a sigh of relief. He didn't encounter any danger along the way. On the contrary, he had gathered quite a few hundred-year-old or even three-hundred-year-old herbs along the way.
All the Demon Beasts he'd encountered were at most high grade lands, and they weren't a threat to him at all now.
This place was simply a natural treasure vault, and there were many rare spirit medicines growing here.
However, they would stay in this secret realm for a long time, so they weren't in a hurry to search for spiritual herbs in the mountain range. The real good stuff would be in the inner sect of Profound Nether Sect!
If they were late, there would be nothing left!
Therefore, after Lin Xuan left the mountain range, the first thing he wanted to do was to find the real inner circle.
On the boundless land, the dark brown soil seemed as if it had experienced a great battle. There were many traces of scorched earth, and not a single blade of grass grew on it. There were even large cracks that appeared in many places.
It was only after seeing all of this that Lin Xuan realized how terrible the great battle that happened in the secret realm was.2
The continuous mountain ranges were located at the outermost region. Back then, they weren't affected too deeply by the great battle, so after ten thousand years of recuperation, a large amount of life force had been restored.
