238: What does it mean that the Qingling Sect flew away?

The Xuanhuan World entered a new period.

Originally, Evil Cultivators and Buddhist Cultivator had new players gasping for breath.

But with Yan Xiao's sudden emergence, sweeping aside a multitude of Evil Cultivators and Buddhist Cultivator, this pressure gradually disappeared.

Many players expressed their gratitude to Yan Xiao.

After this, the spiritual atmosphere of heaven and earth changed, and more and more players began to attempt Breakthroughs.

Those players who lacked the courage to Breakthrough, however, led others to constantly seek out and kill those attempting Breakthroughs.

For a time, a strange ecological gameplay spontaneously formed within the player community.

This also forced those in seclusion to be cautious, even having to find one pretext after another, making the time spent in Breakthrough longer and longer.

The pace of the Xuanhuan World thus became more relaxed, entering a period of stability.

At least, for most players, it was a period of stability.

After this state continued for some time.

Suddenly one day, to the east of the Green Emerald Mountains, the land of Li Kingdom experienced a tremor.

All players in Li Kingdom were filled with bewilderment and confusion.

Soon, everyone saw a thick fog rising from the direction of Qingling Sect, and Spiritual Qi diffused.

Then, to everyone's dumbfounded surprise, Qingling Sect flew up.

The continuous mountain peaks rose from the ground, and the Earth Veins, Water Veins, and even Spiritual Veins within them were suspended along with the Spirit Peaks, slowly but steadily drifting north.

As time passed, the speed became faster and faster, and the height also increased.

The players on the ground could only see a hazy expanse, as the mountain range disappeared into the clouds and fog, its state no longer discernible.

Everyone was bewildered... #Qingling Sect flew away!#

When this news spread, players were mostly confused.

What did "Qingling Sect flew away" mean?

Qingling Sect, players were not unfamiliar with it.

Currently, in the open areas of the Xuanhuan World, there were four Golden Core forces:

Great Jiang Imperial Dynasty, Duan Kong Cave, Heshui Prefecture, and Qingling Sect.

Qingling Sect was located east of the Green Emerald Mountains, within Li Kingdom.

When Green Emerald Heaven fell, Qingling Sect also had Immortal Foundation Outstanding Talents and Golden Core Experts appear.

But after that, compared to Heshui Prefecture and Duan Kong Cave, Qingling Sect's sense of presence was relatively weak.

One important reason was that Duan Kong Cave recruited a large number of players, and Heshui Prefecture also formed its own guild, so the number of players who joined them was considerable, and they obtained a lot of information.

However, Qingling Sect only recruited a small number of players, selecting the best among the best, and had various confidentiality measures, fundamentally not trusting players.

This led to the fact that even if Qingling Sect was truly plotting something or had some grand scheme, players would remain completely ignorant of it.

Ignorance of information left players bewildered by the sudden change.

And the entire Sect directly flying away further grinded players' worldviews into the dirt.

Immediately, players rushed to Qingling Sect's original location.

Qingling Sect originally possessed an entire mountain range, undulating and continuous, filled with abundant Spiritual Qi, enveloped in clouds and mist, like an Immortal Realm.

But now, all the mountain peaks had vanished.

In their place were large pits, as if the parts of the mountains hidden beneath the earth had also been pulled up.

Even more astonishing was that the Spiritual Qi here had completely dimmed, and even rainfall had significantly decreased.

Clearly, before Qingling Sect left, it took all the good things from here.

But how was this achieved?

The players were utterly shocked beyond words.

When an Immortal Foundation player heard about this, he used his movement technique and flew in a straight line above Qingling Sect, only stopping after flying for a full half an hour.

Given his Immortal Foundation flying speed, the area occupied by Qingling Sect was astonishingly vast.

Yet now, it had all vanished, flown away?

"How did they do it?"

The Immortal Foundation player hovered in mid-air, too shocked to speak.

"Is Golden Core that powerful? Can they move mountains?"

Everyone discussed animatedly, finding it increasingly absurd.

Moving a small mountain was understandable; even an Immortal Foundation could do it.

But to move an entire mountain range completely, and even take the Water Veins and Spiritual Veins with it, this was beyond what an Immortal Foundation could imagine.

It was likely the work of a Golden Core Expert to achieve this.

Therefore, many players @Midnight Gao Sou, hoping he could come out and explain if a Golden Core Expert could do such a thing.

In response, Midnight Gao Sou said:

Don't ask me, I don't know anything.

As the first Golden Core Cultivator in the player community, Midnight Gao Sou should have the deepest understanding of the Golden Core Realm.

But in reality, his Golden Core was very weak.

Not only did he not experience the communion with heaven and earth after his Breakthrough, but he also lacked any basic inheritance.

Therefore, he himself knew that his Golden Core could not move mountains, which did not mean that other Golden Core Experts could not move mountains.

Was it a Golden Core Expert from Qingling Sect who acted, or was there a Nascent Soul Expert hidden away who made a move?

He couldn't say for sure either.

If Midnight Gao Sou said he didn't know, then other players were naturally even less clear.

In shock and confusion, Qingling Sect completely disappeared.

The players who had originally joined Qingling Sect were actually left behind, losing contact with Qingling Sect.

This made the entire incident even more mysterious.

Information vendors, including This Time Bu Ge, were all investigating the matter.

They eventually determined that Qingling Sect's target should be the northern mountain range.

There, Demonic Beasts and Yao Beasts roamed, and there were many dangerous ancient Formations, miasma, and so on, which ordinary Cultivators dared not enter.

Even if players weren't afraid of restarting and risked their lives to force their way in, they would ultimately not be able to find Qingling Sect and would perish prematurely.

So, the matter of Qingling Sect flying away eventually came to nothing.

What everyone was more concerned about, instead, was the power vacuum that appeared in Li Kingdom after Qingling Sect left... After a long time, Yan Xiao finally broke through the defensive Formation.

However, what appeared next was not the Empress in seclusion, but two Demonic Beasts of the Golden Core Realm, both giant snakes, attacking Yan Xiao from left and right.

Yan Xiao had already detected that if he plunged down a little further, it would be the Empress's Immortal Cave for seclusion.

So he narrowed his eyes, pulled out his giant ruler, vibrated his wings, and with flames swirling, immediately engaged in battle with the two Demonic Beasts.

He absolutely could not leave; he had to take down the Empress... The earthquakes in the Great Jiang Imperial Dynasty became increasingly frequent.

The sky was also gloomy.

Many Cultivators and players even felt that the atmosphere in Great Jiang at this time was worse than when the Great Love Sect was rampant years ago.

It was as if a heavy pressure was directly weighing down on the entire Great Jiang.

Some Cultivators skilled in divination sought out auspicious geomantic locations and opportune moments, beginning to divine the future of Great Jiang.

But soon, all these diviners bled from their seven orifices and died suddenly.

It was clear that their cultivation was insufficient, and they had divined about someone they shouldn't have.

This made the situation even more confusing; no one could clearly see what would happen next... On this day, the lingering dark clouds over Great Jiang suddenly changed.

A dazzling golden light shot straight up from deep underground, instantly piercing through the dark clouds.

Nearby Mortals, Cultivators, or players all turned their gaze, vaguely guessing what had happened.

Flashes of golden light flickered, and Buddhist scriptures were faintly chanted.

A colossal phantom began to emerge within the golden light.
