These two people were envoys sent by the demon clan to welcome them, and one of them was Cang Wei.
This is also the practice when envoys from various countries pass through other countries, but generally sending Zifu monks is enough. Only here in the demon clan, because the golden elixir can truly transform, the only ones who can hold up the scene are the fourth-level demon kings.
However, there are many demon kings in the Million Mountains, and they have twice as many golden elixirs as the three surrounding countries - Qin, Xu, and Daye combined.
It's just that the combat power of the demon clan is generally not as good as that of the human clan with the same level of cultivation. The human race is good at using various magic weapons, talismans, and formations, and has many methods, while the demon race mostly acts based on talent and is easily restrained.
However, as the cultivation level increases, these shortcomings of the Monster Clan are gradually being made up for. For example, at the Yuanying level, although Cang Min is not as good as Yan Xiling and the ancestors of the Qin family, the gap has been narrowing.
Cang Wei entered the Yunxiao Sect flying boat, while the beautiful woman led the way. Less than half an hour later, the flying boat arrived at a valley with lush vegetation.
Most of the disciples of the Yunxiao Sect came to the Million Mountains for the first time, and they looked around with great interest.
There are large tracts of grassland in the valley for camping, and in the field of vision, people are already occupying different positions.
The management of the demon clan is very chaotic. It seems that whoever comes first will choose the place first.
Yunxiao Sect chose a place by the river, and after instructing the disciples not to wander around except in the valley, he gave everyone a holiday.
Tomorrow, the first day of August, is the day when everyone enters the small world.
After Yang Zhen, Zhao Yue'er, and Zixue left their residence, they walked toward a mountain not far away.
Dou Manxiong was called over by his ancestor. Lan Caifang was in a bad mood these past few days and did not come out.
After a cup of tea, they arrived at their destination.
Ahead is a steep mountain peak with extremely beautiful scenery.
It was the same mountain peak that I saw after breaking through the illusion formation the year before last.
At that time, this mountain peak was only two hundred miles away from Zangshui Village, but now it is thousands of miles away. I don't know when it drifted here.
At that time, Zixue had been enlightened for a day and had found two entrances to the illusion array. Now the three of them looked over and saw only two places with lush vegetation. At first glance, they were no different from the surrounding scenery. However, when they looked over with their spiritual senses, they found that under the cover of the vegetation, there was a cave entrance that was as tall as a person. It was unknown where it led. .
Two years ago, due to the influence of the illusory formation, the spiritual consciousness could not sense the entrance of the cave at all. Now it seems that this illusory formation has been weakened to the extreme, leaving only the last remnant.
However, there was a burly man near the two cave entrances, watching them eagerly, obviously not letting them get closer.
"There should be a total of eight such cave entrances, which can lead to eight directions in Panxi Mountain. Four of them go to the basin and four to the mountain." Zixue told the two people around him after staring for a moment.
Yang Zhen looked around and found eight demon kings in the mountain one after another, presumably where these eight entrances were.
"Later I went back to read the sect's classics. The last few times Panxi Mountain was opened, my sect's disciples entered from the four entrances to the inner layer. It is estimated that it will be the same tomorrow." Zixue sighed:
"Unexpectedly, after we broke through the illusory formation two years ago, we actually found the entrance to Panxi Mountain."
Zhao Yue'er asked curiously: "So, if we had entered through that entrance, could we have explored the small world in advance instead of waiting until today?"
Zixue pondered for a while, shook her head and said: "I don't know. It's also possible that before Panxi Mountain is opened, if you break in through the cave entrance, you will be teleported to somewhere in the Million Mountains instead of entering the small world."
The three of them stopped in front of the mountain for a long time. When they were about to leave, they saw three people walking not far away.
Yang Zhen looked closely and saw two men and one woman. He actually knew the woman among them.
He motioned to Zhao Yue'er, and they both stepped forward to greet the visitor.
"Captain Qin," Yang Zhen cupped her hands and said with a smile, "Your Excellency, you will also enter Panxi Mountain?"
The woman's expression was stagnant, but immortal cultivators have good memories. She quickly recalled it and returned the greeting: "It turns out to be Master Yang."
He cupped his hands towards Zhao Yue'er again and said, "I've met Guanzhu Zhao."
This woman was Qin Yugui, the female captain who served under Qin Zhaowu when he was negotiating with Qin in Shenpo Mountain that day.
Although the relationship between Qin and Xu is not harmonious, they are not so tense in private. It is human nature to say hello when they meet.
A few people exchanged pleasantries and each introduced their friends.
"These two are junior brothers I met in the capital," Qin Yugui said with a smile: "This one is junior brother Yan Shijunyan, and that one is junior brother Qin Mingzhen Qin."
Yan Shijun lives up to his name, with a slender figure and a graceful appearance, with a jade tree facing the wind and a face like a crown jade. He is an extraordinary and handsome young man.
Qin Mingzhen had a square face with an ordinary Chinese character and a stern expression. However, when Yang Zhen looked over, he nodded and forced a smile.
Yang Zhen looked into his eyes, feeling a slight tingling sensation, and couldn't help but feel a shiver in her heart:
"This person is so powerful!"
These three people all have perfect foundation building skills. In comparison, Yang Zhen's two early stages and one mid stage seemed a bit lacking.
After a few more polite words, the two parties parted ways, and Yang Zhen and the others returned to their base.
"That man's name is Qin Mingzhen. He was fourth in the Eastern Region Competition the year before last." Zixue suddenly said halfway.
"What?" Yang Zhen was startled, recalling the pain of acupuncture just now, and secretly compared in her heart, this person's strength should be higher than Jin Zhangeng.
"That Yan Shijun is the second one." Zixue said without surprising, and dropped an even bigger bomb.
Yang Zhen was really shocked now. At that time, his attention was all on Qin Mingzhen. Yan Shijun was gentle and elegant, looking like a frail scholar, but he didn't expect that he was the strongest among them.
One is sharp and sharp, while the other is restrained. Such a comparison really makes the difference between superior and inferior.
As the saying goes, birds of a feather flock together, so it seems that Qin Yugui is not an ordinary person.
"I wonder who is number one and number three in the Eastern Region?" he asked curiously.
"The first is a royal family member from the Zhao Kingdom, named Zhao Wubing, and the third is a female cultivator from the Liang Kingdom, named Liang Xiaoyu. They should both be here this time."
"They are all here?" Yang Zhen was very surprised: "Why don't these people go to the Zifu?"
Whether it was Jin Zhangen or the two monks from Qin who met today, their cultivation levels were already in the process of perfecting their foundations. The same must be true for Zhao Wubing and Liang Xiaoyu. It has been two years since the Eastern Region Competition. With the strength of these people, they should be able to reach the next level.
Zixue pondered for a while and replied: "The disciples who have achieved great success will go to the secret place in Zhou Kingdom to gain enlightenment. It is said that people who come out of the secret place, if they have some experience, will hone it for a few years and then make a breakthrough. .”
"The last number one in the Eastern Territory was none other than the eldest princess of the Qin Kingdom named Mingyue. I heard that after she came out of that secret place, she remained silent for two years before she entered the Purple Mansion. And since then, This woman is out of control. In just five years, she has reached perfection from the early stage of Zi Mansion, which may be related to the harvest in the secret place."
Five years, the initial stage of Zi Mansion has reached perfection! Yang Zhen was shocked. In this world, there are indeed those kinds of geniuses, the kind of geniuses that cannot be seen from ordinary people's perspective.
If you go to Qin in the future, you must see the elegance of this eldest princess.
Also, who knows what is hidden in the secret place in the Eastern Region?
…
August 1st, early morning
Elites from various countries in the Eastern Region gathered in front of that steep and beautiful peak.
The seven major countries all sent Jin Dan as the team leader. In addition, some small countries such as Daye Kingdom also sent Jin Dan to act as facades. Suddenly, in this square, which was only three hundred acres in size, more than a dozen Jindan masters gathered together, which was quite a spectacle.
This grand occasion is enough to rival the sect ceremony held by Yunxiao Sect every sixty years. Only on that day can the Yunxiao Sect's disciples see so many golden elixir ancestors at the same time, when all the real people would be present in their best attire.
In front of the square is a specially designated open space, which occupies less than half of the square. The Four Kingdoms of Zhou, Ju, Qin, and Xu each sent a Jindan, as well as the Zifu monks sent by other countries, who were checking each disciple's storage bag one by one, as well as the magical instruments and other items they carried with them.
During this trip to the small world, no one is allowed to bring any third-level or higher alchemy talismans, beast pets, puppets, etc. Among them, talismans are also included.
Yang Zhen felt a little nervous. Of course he would not be so honest. In the bluestone space, he stored many third-level items, mostly water talismans and wooden talismans, and even a third-level mid-level puppet bought at a high price.
Yiyi and Youyou, these two little girls are also hiding in the space.
Fortunately, a man from the Liang Kingdom carefully inspected all the items on his body, including the stone chain on his wrist, and found nothing unusual, so he easily passed the test.
These inspections took about an hour. When all the disciples entered the open space, it was already midnight.
A red sun slowly rises in the sky. Under the slanting sunlight, the clouds and mists in the valley are steaming, birds are chirping and cicadas are chirping, creating a vibrant scene.
A thousand foundation-building disciples, led by Ji Qiankun, a real person from the Zhou Kingdom, swore an oath based on their inner demons:
"I, Yang Zhen/Zhao Yuer/Dou Manxiong, hereby swear that after entering the inner layer of the small world of Panxi Mountain, I will live in harmony with all my comrades..."
"Don't bully the weak..."
"No extortion..."
"Don't hurt people from behind..."
"Don't kill people and steal goods..."
"If there is a dispute, it will be resolved through peaceful negotiation."
"If you violate it, your inner demons will come back to bite you, and you will not die a good death!"
"This oath."
After the oath was completed, Yang Zhen seemed to feel a thin layer of cloud covering her Dantian. This is an oath made by countless people, and its backlash will be even stronger.
Dozens of miles away, a pair of eyes watched the movement in the valley and remained silent.
…
Another half an hour later, the sun had already reached the sky over the valley. The bright sunshine dispersed the fog, revealing a green world.
Under the sunlight, the clouds and fog dissipated at the entrances to the mountain peaks, revealing dark cave entrances.
Cang Wei stood in the sky in front of the mountain peak, looking majestically at the human monks at the foot of the mountain, and shouted:
"Panxi Mountain, start the formation!"
Following this shout, groups of foundation-building monks rose into the air and flew towards different entrances.
Friends Yang Zhen, Zhao Yue'er, Zixue, Dou Manxiong, and Lan Caifang all chose the same cave entrance. After entering, they will be teleported to the southwest of the inner layer of Panxi Mountain.
This direction is full of swamps and deserts, and the number of spiritual herbs is relatively small. However, relatively speaking, the disciples of the sect have explored less, and the possibility of finding rare spiritual herbs is greater.
Yang Zhen grabbed Zhao Yuer's cattails, and the two of them got into the cave one after the other.
A huge vortex force pulled him up into the air, and the world was spinning. Their hands were unconsciously separated...
