"Purple Jade Bamboo Forest."
A scene of bustling activity.
Looking down from high above, the entire "Purple Jade Bamboo Forest" resembled a disturbed ant's nest, with countless "ants," ah, countless "cultivators" scurrying about, busily engaged.
"Quick, quick, bring two people over here! This formation operation is crucial; it absolutely cannot go wrong!"
"I'm here, I'm here at the central hub! Ensure a sufficient supply of spirit stones!"
...
Shouts and commands echoed continuously.
Though busy, it wasn't overly chaotic.
Senior Qing Feng and Chi Lian, commanding from their positions, assigned cultivators to various tasks, whether to oversee formations or deploy spirit stones...
Hao Ren, a rare sight rarely retreating into his cave for a millennium, personally took charge at the "Preaching Platform," observing the busy cultivators.
With the "Power of the Senior" bolstering them, the cultivators were like those with max-level "buffs," full of energy and overflowing with drive.
Tasks that were originally complex were completed by them in a short period.
"Senior, all preparations are complete. The Wandering Cave Plan can be initiated!"
That's right, the reason Hao Ren wasn't back in his cave but instead presiding at the "Preaching Platform" was for the "Wandering Cave Plan."
The current situation was dire.
The "Purple Jade Bamboo Forest" was no longer safe!
As a "Gou Cultivator" of professional level eight, Hao Ren was officially preparing to "pack up and run"!
He took a deep breath, ready to announce the commencement of the "Wandering Cave Plan."
As the moment approached, truth be told, Hao Ren felt a little nervous, a little hesitant...
Since his transmigration, he had never left this stretch of forest.
Now, to leave here and venture into the wider world, he felt a pang of fear...
Would the outside world be even more dangerous?
This...
Hao Ren was actually having second thoughts!
At this moment, a sudden change occurred.
A system prompt sounded in Hao Ren's mind.
[Ding! Congratulations to the host. One of the avatars of the Heavenly Dragon Dharma King, a Nascent Soul cultivator, "Black-Eyed Yi Li," harbors hatred towards you. Hatred points +9999... Current Hatred Level: Five Stars (Immortal and Undying)]
[Ding! Congratulations to the host. One of the avatars of the Heavenly Dragon Dharma King, a Nascent Soul cultivator, "Black-Eyed Liang Xing," harbors hatred towards you. Hatred points +9999... Current Hatred Level: Five Stars (Immortal and Undying)]
...
A string of system prompts, like popping beans, continuously sounded in Hao Ren's mind.
In a short period, Hao Ren "fearfully" discovered that he had gained over a thousand "enemies."
Among them were five "Nascent Soul Ancestors."
Needless to say, these were the people hunting "Ancestor Xin Xin" and "Ancestor Fang Que," and they would be arriving soon.
Holy cow!
There's no time to delay, escape quickly!
Hao Ren's hesitation and internal struggle vanished instantly.
He roared.
"Activate the formation!"
Senior Qing Feng and Chi Lian also roared simultaneously.
"All personnel, heed my command, activate the formation!"
The cultivators spurred the formations into action.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
Streams of brilliant spiritual light shot into the sky.
Countless formations blazed with light.
The entire "Purple Jade Bamboo Forest" was enveloped in dense spiritual light.
Rumble!
The earth shook, dust and stones flew!
Under the impetus of the "Grand Formation's Power," the entire "Purple Jade Bamboo Forest" slowly detached from the earth's veins and ascended into the sky.
The "Purple Jade Bamboo Forest" now covered an area exceeding ten thousand mu.
The bamboo forest was lush and verdant, shimmering under the sun.
Seen from afar, it resembled a "continent in the sky" slowly rising.
The spectacle was breathtaking and magnificent!
The entire "Purple Jade Bamboo Forest" slowly ascended to a height of one hundred zhang before gradually ceasing its ascent.
This altitude was the "flight altitude" set by Senior Qing Feng and Chi Lian.
Generally, few cultivators would fly this high.
There was no need to worry about "flight accidents."
...
"Senior, this test flight was a great success!"
Senior Qing Feng reported to Hao Ren with great excitement.
"However, this large-scale flight consumes too much. Just the ascent used up ten million spirit stones!"
Ten million spirit stones for just an "ascent"!
It was practically "burning money"!
However, Hao Ren didn't care about this.
Problems that could be solved with money were not problems!
Since Qian Duoduo returned from "trading," Hao Ren had become "wealthy and powerful."
He had over a billion at his disposal, to be spent however he pleased.
Hao Ren waved his hand and said calmly.
"Activate the flight formation at full power..."
Internally, Hao Ren added a thought.
"Hurry and escape!"
Senior Qing Feng, of course, couldn't hear Hao Ren's thoughts.
Instead, he looked at Hao Ren with immense admiration.
The senior truly possesses great spirit!
Ten million spirit stones spent without a blink of an eye, without any heartache!
Tsk, tsk, tsk, this is true cultivation!
With endless admiration for Hao Ren, Senior Qing Feng went to oversee the "flight operations" below.
The "Wandering Cave Plan" was a "money-burning plan."
For every minute the entire "Purple Jade Bamboo Forest" flew, it consumed at least hundreds of thousands of low-grade spirit stones.
If it maintained "super-high-speed flight," it could consume up to a million spirit stones per minute.
Tsk, tsk, tsk... This was simply an "astronomical figure."
And now, Hao Ren had ordered Senior Qing Feng not to worry about spirit stone consumption and to fly at full speed.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
A large number of spirit stones were poured into the various "flight formations," and powerful spiritual light erupted.
The "Purple Jade Bamboo Forest" continuously accelerated, speeding away into the distance!
...
"Yun Family Immortal Mansion."
Now prosperous and flourishing, with enduring fortune.
The entire immortal mansion was no longer like its initial state, when it was lamentably sparsely populated.
Now, the "Yun Family Immortal Mansion" possessed the true aura of a "major sect."
Within the immortal mansion, talents were abundant, and experts emerged in large numbers.
"Patriarch" Yun Zhenting had now advanced to the "Golden Core realm."
Moreover, he was not an ordinary "Golden Core cultivator."
He was a "Sage Confucian Cultivator," practicing the "Confucian Path"!
The "Confucian Path" was relatively niche, but its combat power was incredibly potent.
Although Yun Zhenting was only at the "mid-stage Golden Core realm," with his "Zhen Ting Dragon Sword" and "Zhen Ting Dragon Spear," he could easily kill cultivators at the "late-stage Golden Core realm."
He was simply that strong, that formidable!
...
Besides "Patriarch" Yun Zhenting, the younger generation of the Yun family was also remarkably promising. Whether it was "Yun Tianchong," "Yun Zhaozhao," or "Yun Tiankong," and even the "Little Spirit Monkey King," they were all individuals of exceptional talent, their cultivation advancing by leaps and bounds.
These juniors had now reached critical junctures, capable of breaking through bottlenecks and advancing to the "Golden Core realm" at any moment.
In short, the entire "Yun Family Immortal Mansion" was thriving and peaceful.
However, at this very moment, a group of uninvited guests suddenly broke into the outer mountain range of the "Yun Family Immortal Mansion"...
