29: Chapter 29 Arrival in Zhongzhou, Xingyun Sect
At the Xingyun Sect, located a thousand miles away from Cao Yang and his party's flying ship, the atmosphere was incredibly lively; in particular, Nebula City was packed with people, and a long queue of Cultivators had already formed at the city gates.
The Xingyun Sect is located in the central part of the Central Province and is ostensibly the strongest Sect in the Central Province.
The Four Provinces Exchange Meeting would be held within the Xingyun Sect, just as it had always been in the past.
Although many Cultivators could not watch the exchange meeting and could not even enter the gates of the Xingyun Sect, many still kept rushing here, because such a grand gathering of the major Sects from the four provinces of the Tianxuan Realm was not easy to come by, and for most Cultivators, it was a rare immortal fate.
The three major forces of the Central Province had already gathered within the Xingyun Sect: the Xingyun Sect, the Falling Flower Valley, and the Xianlin Pavilion.
Among the three forces, the Xingyun Sect was slightly stronger, while the Falling Flower Valley and the Xianlin Pavilion were about the same, forming a tripartite balance of power in the Central Province.
The flying ship carrying Cao Yang, after two days and two nights of continuous travel, finally arrived above Nebula City.
However, they were not the only flying ship; there were two other equally massive flying ships arriving with them.
These two flying ships came from the Blade Sect and the Jue Lin Valley, respectively; they were both major forces in the Northern Province, on par with the Moyang Sword Sect.
These forces had gathered together midway because, as forces from the same province, they needed to maintain strategic unity in the face of external enemies.
Cao Yang looked down at Nebula City beneath his feet, a feeling of shock welling up in his heart.
Although he had previously scanned this place with his Divine Sense, he had not paid close attention.
Now observing it from close range, this city brought him an unprecedented visual impact.
It was not only massive in scale, far exceeding Xianlin City in the Northern Province, but its architectural style was majestic and magnificent, truly breathtaking.
The city walls shimmered with a dazzling black light, and the three golden characters "Nebula City" were engraved above the city gate, manifesting the majesty and solemnity of the city.
The First Senior Sister Mu Wanying, Second Senior Sister Su Xuan, and Third Senior Sister Hua Xinyu appeared relatively calm, as if they were already accustomed to such scenes.
However, Fu Xiaoya and the other women were stunned by the scene before them, just like Cao Yang; they widened their eyes, their faces full of surprise and admiration.
Before they could look much longer, the ship quickly flew over the city gates and headed toward the mountain gate of the Xingyun Sect.
"I wonder which province's Sect has arrived. I remember hearing before that the Seven Kill Sect and other Sects from the Southern Province had already arrived."
In front of a pavilion named Duobao Pavilion, a maid looked up at the flying ship swiftly passing through the sky and muttered to herself.
Just then, a middle-aged man wearing a brocade robe walked out of the room; he happened to hear the maid's words, so he followed her gaze toward the sky, his eyes suddenly tightening: "This is the Sect from the Northern Province that has arrived!"
That's right, this middle-aged man in the brocade robe was none other than the shopkeeper Cao Yang had once met at the Duobao Shop in Xianlin City in the Northern Province.
Ever since he sold those two Top-Grade Magic Treasures to Cao Yang, he had transferred the shop and come to the Central Province to continue doing business.
Now, he was not only successfully operating a medium-sized Duobao Pavilion, but his business was also thriving.
Soon, the flying ship carrying Cao Yang arrived in front of the Xingyun Sect's mountain gate, and under the leadership of Sect Master Mo Nantian, they disembarked from the flying ship.
Before long, the people from the other two forces also came down.
The reception Elder of the Xingyun Sect had been waiting at the mountain gate early on; with a warm smile on his face, he greeted the three Sect Masters, including Mo Nantian, from afar: "The three Sect Masters, you have had a hard journey! Welcome to the Xingyun Sect; I have been waiting here for a long time."
Mo Nantian and the others hurriedly responded: "Elder Li, you are too polite. Thank you for your hospitality."
Although this Elder Li was only an Elder of the Xingyun Sect, his cultivation had reached the Peak of Body Integration, comparable to Mo Nantian and the others.
"Hehe, no need to be polite; this is all the duty of our Xingyun Sect. Please follow me, the three of you; I will take you to your resting place. If you have any needs, just let me know at any time."
As he spoke, Elder Li flew forward, leading everyone into the Xingyun Sect.
Mo Nantian and the others led their Disciples closely behind, thanking him repeatedly.
Before long, the group arrived in front of three spacious courtyards.
Each courtyard had many rooms, obviously prepared specifically for the three Sects. The overall environment looked quite good.
After the reception Elder gave some instructions to the three, he left on his own.
Sect Master Mo Nantian turned to look at the Disciples and several Elders beside him and said softly: "Our Sect will live here until the end of the exchange meeting; it is in the courtyard on the far right."
"The exchange meeting will only officially start tomorrow; according to past experience, this exchange meeting will likely take several days to finish. During this period, you are free to come and go, but remember to carry your Sect token with you at all times, otherwise, you will not be able to enter the Sect."
He paused, then continued with a serious expression: "In addition, I must remind you of one more thing: try not to cause trouble."
"Cultivators from all over have gathered near the Xingyun Sect; it is a mixed bag of people, and if you are not careful, you might fall into trouble. Therefore, you must remain vigilant to avoid capsizing in the gutter."
Everyone nodded, indicating they understood.
Finally, Mo Nantian waved his hand, signaling everyone to go rest and prepare to welcome the exchange meeting the next day.
Cao Yang and the women, led by Ouyang Liuli, settled into several rooms at the very back on the left side of the courtyard. The little girl Su Xuan snatched the room closest to Cao Yang's room first, while Xiao Lingxue gave Cao Yang a resentful look and could only choose a room slightly further away from Cao Yang.
Ouyang Liuli shook her head helplessly and walked into a room. The three women, including the First Senior Sister who had only recently come out of seclusion, only knew that the Fifth Junior Sister Xiao Lingxue was Cao Yang's Dao Companion, and did not yet know that Su Xuan was also Cao Yang's Dao Companion.
Seeing this, the First Senior Sister walked into her room, lost in thought. The Third Senior Sister Hua Xinyu looked at Cao Yang's room and giggled, covering her mouth, before walking into the other two rooms while being pulled by the Fourth Senior Sister Fu Xiaoya.
Cao Yang stood at the door for a while, shook his head helplessly, and walked into the room.
The room was quite nice and was even stocked with Spirit Tea.
Cao Yang sat down at the table, poured a cup of Spirit Tea, and started drinking.
He silently recited in his heart: "System, check in."
He thought that checking in at the Xingyun Sect would yield good rewards; after all, the Xingyun Sect was a Sect where a Human Immortal existed.
"Beep, check-in successful. Congratulations to the Host for obtaining 10,000 years of Genius cultivation."
"Beep, congratulations to the Host for obtaining ten Golden Immortal Puppets."
"Beep, congratulations to the Host for obtaining 10,000 Low Grade immortal spirit stones, 10 million Top-Grade Spirit Stones, and 50 million High-Grade Spirit Stones."
"Rewards have been issued to the System space; please check, Host."
"Holy crap, System, did I hear that right? Ten Golden Immortal Puppets?" Cao Yang almost jumped up in excitement and couldn't help but curse.
You have to know that after Cao Yang's strength became powerful, he had been a civilized person for a long time.
Cao Yang hurriedly checked the System space, and sure enough, there stood ten stunningly beautiful figures.
