110: Arrival in Zhongzhou, Lingyun Pavilion!

Zhang Yang and the others shifted through the Void Realm. Everything was invisible as they continuously activated their spatial abilities, heading toward the direction of the Central Continent that they sensed.

After two full days, the group had no idea how far they had traveled, but they finally sensed four massive portals in the dark.

"Everyone, those four portals are the reception gateways for the four pavilions of the Central Continent. Although I don't know which portal belongs to which pavilion, they should all be safe."

"You can either choose a portal to follow me through, or pick one yourselves. Either is fine."

Zhang Yang spoke via Primordial Spirit transmission.

Before leaving, Zhang Yang had also given the Grotto-Heaven Realm Martial Artists a general overview of the situation in the Central Continent.

Their expressions remained unchanged upon hearing this, and they all nodded, saying, "Of course we will follow Zhang Yang and choose the same portal."

The Grotto-Heaven Realm Martial Artists were not fools. While these portals might all be safe,

no one could guarantee what lay outside. It was safer to act together.

"Alright! Then follow me closely!"

Zhang Yang nodded, then picked a portal at random and used his spatial ability to move toward it.

Within the Void Realm, he couldn't distinguish which power these portals belonged to; he could only rely on luck.

The group followed closely behind him.

After another long period, they finally crossed through the portal within their vague perception.

In the next moment, Zhang Yang felt his vision brighten, followed by a flood of information. They had arrived in the Central Continent!

"So this is the Central Continent!"

Zhang Yang sighed softly. They were currently in a massive plaza. There were only dozens of them,

but not far away, dozens of Grotto-Heaven Realm Martial Artists were watching them and discussing in low voices.

"Is this the Central Continent? It really does feel different! Finally, there's no more suppression!"

Many Grotto-Heaven Realm Martial Artists behind Zhang Yang looked relieved. After leaving the Southern Region for the Central Continent, they could finally no longer feel the suppression of heaven and earth!

At the same time, they noticed the dozens of Grotto-Heaven Realm Martial Artists nearby and felt a chill in their hearts, inwardly marveling.

As expected of the legendary Central Continent; they had just arrived and already encountered dozens of Grotto-Heaven Realm Martial Artists, and their cultivation levels seemed much higher than their own!

Immediately, they stood behind Zhang Yang, guarding the surroundings. The old man who knew the Heavenly Dipper Demon Subduing Array was especially vigilant.

Should there be any movement, he could instantly deploy the Heavenly Dipper Demon Subduing Array to protect all the Grotto-Heaven Realm Martial Artists from the Southern Region!

This was a precaution. If those dozens of Grotto-Heaven Realm Martial Artists had any designs on them, they would have a way to fight back.

On the other side, the Grotto-Heaven Realm Martial Artists watching Zhang Yang's group were also communicating via Primordial Spirit.

"Which region are these Martial Artists from? They don't look like they're from the Western Region."

"They don't look like they're from the Northern Region either."

"They must be from the Southern or Eastern Regions, right? But why did so many come at once?"

"This feels like it's equivalent to the total number of people who have come in a thousand years! Has something changed in their home region?"

The minds of the many Grotto-Heaven Realm Martial Artists watching Zhang Yang and his group raced with thoughts.

Then, one of them stepped forward with a smile and spoke slowly.

"Everyone, there is no need to be nervous. This place is within the sphere of influence of Lingyun Pavilion. For Martial Artists like you coming from the four regions, it is very safe here."

The Grotto-Heaven Realm Martial Artist chuckled softly and then spoke:

"My name is Ling Feng, a Disciple of Lingyun Pavilion. You have likely just arrived in the Central Continent and are unfamiliar with the situation here."

"I have here some information regarding the distribution of powers and basic information about the Central Continent. Lingyun Pavilion has prepared this for all Martial Artists newly arrived in the Central Continent; you may check it for yourselves."

With a wave of his hand, dozens of items resembling Jade Slips appeared before Zhang Yang and the others.

"These are information Jade Slips. Once you probe them with your Primordial Spirit Power, you will know the information within."

Ling Feng explained.

Hearing Ling Feng's words, the people behind Zhang Yang all looked toward him.

Zhang Yang simply waved his hand, took a Jade Slip, and probed it with his Primordial Spirit. He then nodded.

Only then did the people behind him each take a Jade Slip and probe it with their Primordial Spirit Power to understand the information inside.

"Thank you!"

Zhang Yang cupped his hands.

"You're welcome!"

Ling Feng waved his hand and smiled slightly. "May I ask which of the four regions you come from? Is it the Eastern or Southern Region?"

"The Southern Region."

Zhang Yang's expression was calm as he spoke softly. Based on the information in the Jade Slip, he now knew what these dozens of Grotto-Heaven Realm Martial Artists were doing here.

They were sent by various powers in the Central Continent to invite Martial Artists coming from the four regions to join them.

Some were small powers, some even having only one or two Divine Ruins Realm experts presiding over them. Grotto-Heaven Realm experts were already the backbone of their Sects.

Furthermore, Martial Artists who could Cultivate to the Grotto-Heaven Realm in the four regions did not have poor talent. If they were nurtured further, they might have even brighter futures!

For these small powers, this was a good opportunity to enhance their Sect's foundation.

Ling Feng was the person in Lingyun Pavilion responsible for this area. Of course, his main role was to manage the people sent by these small powers,

preventing them from using special means to coerce people from the four regions into joining them.

"So it really is the Southern Region?"

Ling Feng nodded slightly upon hearing this. After seeing the group's attire, he had already guessed they were from either the Eastern or Southern Region.

This was because those from the Western Region were mostly monks,

while those from the Northern Region basically went shirtless with firm muscles; both were very easy to identify.

"Since you now know everyone's purpose, the rest is up to you. Whether you join them or go out to explore on your own, either is fine."

Ling Feng looked at the crowd and spoke calmly. He then added:

"Are there any among you under the age of one hundred and fifty?"

"If so, you can join our Lingyun Pavilion! After a short period of observation, you can become a True Disciple!"

Hearing this, the eyes of the people behind Zhang Yang were filled with disappointment.

Becoming a Grotto-Heaven Realm Martial Artist within one hundred and fifty years in the Southern Region was almost unheard of, except for the person in front of them.

The group looked cautiously at Zhang Yang, who remained expressionless.

Lingyun Pavilion was not his choice. His goals were the Myriad Manifestations Pavilion or the Martial Refining Tower.

"None?"

A flash of disappointment crossed Ling Feng's eyes. He thought that since so many people had come this time, someone might meet the requirements, but he didn't expect there to be not even one.

"You can interact with those people over there for a while. Whether you go with them or leave this place is entirely your choice."

Ling Feng said indifferently. After speaking, he withdrew from the plaza.

As soon as Ling Feng left the plaza, the surrounding Grotto-Heaven Realm Martial Artists couldn't wait to enter and approach Zhang Yang and the others.

Some began to promote their Sects, promising various benefits and conditions.

The people behind Zhang Yang couldn't help but feel a bit swayed by these conditions, but they were also uncertain. They looked at Zhang Yang, wanting to ask for his opinion.

"Judge for yourselves. If it doesn't work out, you can leave this place first and investigate whether what they say is true."

Zhang Yang said with a calm expression. He didn't even want to join Lingyun Pavilion, so there was naturally no way he would join these weaker Sects.

"That works!"

Hearing Zhang Yang say this, the many Grotto-Heaven Realm Martial Artists from the Southern Region all nodded. They then said to the surrounding recruiters:

"Everyone, please allow us to consider for a few days."

"Fine!" The people around them nodded readily.
