Chapter 2114: Chapter 2381: Seizing the Sect’s Fate!
Ren Feifan really feels like Pilgrimage Mountain is at odds with him.
Su Moxue is at Pilgrimage Mountain.
Bai Ling is also at Pilgrimage Mountain.
Even the Vermilion Bird in the Ancient God Seal Array is at Pilgrimage Mountain.
Now, the remaining disciples of Saint Doctor’s Gate are also at Pilgrimage Mountain.
Did everyone plan together to go there?
It’s truly strange!
The elder seemed to notice Ren Feifan’s surprise and explained: “In the Hidden Gate, Pilgrimage Mountain is the most mysterious existence. Many powerful beings choose to tear the space there to reach a broader world. Do you know why?”
Ren Feifan was stunned, and shook his head.
The elder chuckled and then became extremely serious: “Because Pilgrimage Mountain is the closest to the Heavenly Path! Furthermore, with frequent tearing there, external Spiritual Energy gets introduced, creating a vast difference compared to the Spiritual Energy of the Hidden Gate.
Even more crucially, it is a paradise for countless criminals and cultivators to hide.
Entering Pilgrimage Mountain requires a key or invitation; ordinary people simply aren’t qualified to step inside!
The concentration of strong beings there surpasses even the Hidden Gate. Many top-tier experts choose it to break through to leave the Hidden Gate and enter the outer realms, all because the probability of breaking through the void is highest there!”
Ren Feifan finally understood why so many people rush toward Pilgrimage Mountain.
Apparently, most people are seeking better opportunities.
“By the way, how do I find those four people on Pilgrimage Mountain?”
Currently, he could ascertain their names through the Life Plaque, but he didn’t know their exact whereabouts.
Pilgrimage Mountain should be more than just a single mountain; finding people would be like searching for a needle in a haystack.
The elder laughed, stroked his beard, and said: “That will depend on your luck. My cultivation hasn’t reached the level to peer into Pilgrimage Mountain from thousands of miles away. The restrictions there are too powerful; everything still relies on you. However, if you abandon your original cultivation technique and practice the Sect Leader’s mental method, you might detect the exact location of those four individuals. I can accurately tell you that the Sect Leader’s mental method is stronger than any cultivation technique you possess.”
Ren Feifan frowned, feeling as though the elder was always trying to persuade him to practice the so-called Sect Leader’s mental method.
His Nine Transformations Mysterious Skill and Chaos Decision of Gods and Demons were nearing mastery, crucially suitable for him.
If he switched to another cultivation technique now, it would surely require a long adaptation period.
The key was that he didn’t completely trust the elder.
“No need, I’m not interested in the Sect Leader’s mental method.” Ren Feifan directly refused.
The elder’s eyes flickered with a trace of surprise and anger, though well-hidden.
He was about to speak when Feng Qingyang’s voice came: “Master Ancestor, I’m ready.”
The elder nodded, glanced at Feng Qingyang without any expression.
Feng Qingyang didn’t say much, just walked straight toward Ren Feifan.
Ren Feifan was surprised to find Feng Qingyang’s aura had become much more solid, previously due to combat, his apparition had been drifting farther away.
Soon, it seemed he would dissipate into the world!
Feng Qingyang transformed into a white mist and burrowed into Ren Feifan’s body.
At the moment of disappearance, a voice pierced Ren Feifan’s ear: “Don’t practice the Sect Leader’s mental method.”
Ren Feifan’s eyes narrowed; he nodded and silently memorized those four names, then said to the elder: “I’ll go to Pilgrimage Mountain and try my luck; with their names, I should be able to gather some information.”
“Kid, are you really not…”
The elder was about to speak when Ren Feifan turned and walked outside, saying as he walked: “Since the Devouring Soul Golden Needle still needs a day’s time, I’ll come back tomorrow at this time; I won’t disturb you now, senior.”
Soon, Ren Feifan disappeared from the small world.
The elder watched Ren Feifan’s departing figure, with his cloudy eyes flashing a peculiar emotion…
Before long, Ren Feifan arrived at the cultivation room of the Saint Gate.
He cast a few formation flags, instantly forming a Concealing Formation.
Not only that, Ren Feifan also took out the Formation Rune given by Lin Langtian.
The Formation Rune was extremely powerful, eliciting vital energy, forming yet another formation!
This formation completely isolated all opportunities.
With two strong Concealing Formations, compared to the elder in the cliff’s small world, he shouldn’t be able to detect anything.
Then, he summoned Feng Qingyang.
Billowing white mist surged.
Feng Qingyang, dressed in white, appeared instantly, carrying a large sword box on his back, his clothes and hair floating unrestrainedly, slightly fluttering, complementing the suspended figure in mid-air, like a divine being descended. His skin subtly glowed, hands behind his back, radiating powerful energy.
Ren Feifan noticed Feng Qingyang’s aura had become much more mysterious, likely due to the power of that stone pillar in the small world.
Feng Qingyang glanced at the surrounding Concealing Formations and nodded.
“You did well; without the Concealing Formation, Master Ancestor surely would have noticed something.”
Ren Feifan’s eyes were serious: “Does the plan work against us? Why do you call him Master Ancestor?”
Feng Qingyang, with hands behind his back, explained: “He is indeed the Master Ancestor of Saint Doctor’s Gate, but with some peculiarities; didn’t you find it odd for such a strong being to be trapped in a small world? Haven’t you forgotten the affair with that fellow from the Dragon Clan?”
Ren Feifan naturally knew who Feng Qingyang was referring to.
Back then, beneath the Overlord Dragon King’s temple of the Dragon Clan, there was also a small world, trapping a powerful Divine Dragon that couldn’t tear through space!
If it weren’t for his ace cards, he might have perished at the opponent’s hands.
“Do you mean the old man can’t tear space to leave here?” Ren Feifan asked in astonishment.
Feng Qingyang nodded: “Almost, but it’s more complex. The elder bears no great malice toward you but has different intentions for the Saint Gate.”
“Hmm? What do you mean?” Ren Feifan was puzzled.
Feng Qingyang explained: “In Saint Doctor’s Gate, there is no so-called Sect Leader’s mental method! But there is a decree that only the Sect Leader can practice, which has been banned! This decree can strip the sect’s fortune and transform it into one’s cultivation!”
“When establishing the sect, this decree’s major drawbacks weren’t exposed, but later, successive Sect Leaders increasingly sensed something was amiss!”
“Sect Leader, do you truly believe Saint Doctor’s Gate moved from this place and abandoned Saint Doctor’s Peak because it couldn’t accommodate disciples?”
“It’s not like that at all! Years later, I realized that all of Saint Doctor’s Gate and Saint Doctor’s Peak’s fortunes had been plundered! We had no choice but to relocate!”
“Without the sect’s fortune, Master Ancestor naturally couldn’t seize it, nor could he grow in cultivation, making it extremely difficult to break through the void! If I’m right, Master Ancestor indeed hopes you revive Saint Doctor’s Gate, and those six stone pillars can strengthen the Holy Artifact because your sect’s strength signifies his strength! Then he can mercilessly strip the sect’s fortune!”
