In the "Demon Suppressing Grand Hall," there were over a thousand elders, female members, and children of the "Celestial Secrets Holy Land."
The last to emerge were Wang Tenglong, "Fairy Qingxue," "Fairy Feihong," and the "Nine-Eyed Poison Spider Queen." They also carried the unconscious "Dragon Soul One" out with them.
No sooner had they settled down than Wang Ergouzi, Wang Tidan, and Wang Maganzi, three "Nascent Soul Patriarchs," leading a large number of "Nascent Soul Masters," came charging in with imposing momentum.
"Charge! Break in!"
Wang Tidan, with his "stubborn head," roared and was about to lead his men into the "Purple Jade Bamboo Forest."
"Wait, no, absolutely not!"
A panicked voice shrieked.
Wang Tidan slammed on the brakes, nearly falling to the ground.
"What are you doing?"
Wang Tidan glared at a... "small jade bottle"!
The "small jade bottle" glowed, and a human face appeared on its surface. It was none other than the old face of "Long Liulin."
Previously, Goddess Su, in order to free up the "Jade Pot Elixir Cauldron" to rescue "Jin Mo Daoren" and others, had released the "Nascent Soul of Long Liulin" that was imprisoned within it.
The "Nascent Soul of Long Liulin" had indeed found fortune in misfortune!
He was rescued by Wang Ergouzi and his companions.
To help the "Nascent Soul of Long Liulin" quickly recover its energy, Wang Ergouzi and the others produced a bottle of "Heavenly Origin Spiritual Liquid."
"Heavenly Origin Spiritual Liquid" was incredibly precious, capable of nourishing a cultivator's Nascent Soul and repairing its injuries.
Wang Ergouzi and his group immersed the "Nascent Soul of Long Liulin" in the "Heavenly Origin Spiritual Liquid" to aid his recovery.
Once the "Nascent Soul of Long Liulin" had healed, he would have at least one path forward, whether for "reincarnation and re-cultivation" or to walk the "path of Yin cultivation."
The "Nascent Soul of Long Liulin" was grateful to Wang Ergouzi and his companions, and thus felt compelled to step forward in this critical moment.
The "Nascent Soul of Long Liulin" earnestly advised:
"Fellow Daoists, please heed my advice. The mysterious senior in the Purple Jade Bamboo Forest is truly powerful and terrifying. Do not provoke him, or you will meet a most tragic end!"
The "Nascent Soul of Long Liulin" was likely suffering from "post-traumatic stress disorder"!
He was utterly terrified of the "mysterious senior" and stubbornly believed the "mysterious senior" to be a "Heavenly Immortal-level expert"!
For Wang Ergouzi and his group to provoke a "Heavenly Immortal-level expert" was simply courting death!
"Fellow Daoists, please believe me! The mysterious senior is not acting now because he doesn't wish to incur more karmic sin. While there is still time, let us leave quickly!"
Hearing the "Nascent Soul of Long Liulin's" conviction, Wang Ergouzi and his companions couldn't help but feel uneasy.
Could this "mysterious senior" truly be that powerful?
After all, the "mysterious senior" could produce a hundred "Postnatal Spiritual Treasures" at once...
A hundred of them!
That's an astonishing number!
Even if all the "Postnatal Spiritual Treasures" in the entire mortal realm were gathered, there wouldn't be this many!
Upon thinking this, even the most "stubborn" Wang Tidan began to falter.
Forget it, forget it. Taking a step back leads to a wider sky.
He took a step back, maintaining a safe distance from the "Purple Jade Bamboo Forest."
Entering the "Purple Jade Bamboo Forest"?
No, no, no, it's best not to go in!
...
Wang Ergouzi and his group's reactions were clearly observed by Hao Ren through the "Enemy Dynamics" system.
Alas!
(☆＿☆)
Hao Ren's eyes gleamed!
In this situation, his "Act Mighty Technique" seemed to have found its use once more.
Bring it on!
Continue "acting mighty" and continue the fun!
Hao Ren quickly devised a grand "Act Mighty Plan"!
"Empty Fort Strategy 2.0"!
Yes, it was an upgraded version of the "Empty Fort Strategy" he had used before to deal with the "Rainbow Seven Sword Immortals"!
Summon the "First-Class Singing Artist" Niu Huan!
...
On the periphery of the "Purple Jade Bamboo Forest."
Wang Ergouzi and his group were hesitating, unsure whether to attack the "Purple Jade Bamboo Forest."
Suddenly, the defensive formations of the entire "Purple Jade Bamboo Forest" were completely withdrawn.
The vast "Purple Jade Bamboo Forest" was like a... brawny man who had shed his clothes.
Yes, a brawny man!
Without the constraints of the "defensive formations," the incredibly powerful and monstrous auras within the "Purple Jade Bamboo Forest" surged towards the sky.
First, the spiritual energy!
The dense spiritual energy formed "spiritual energy hurricanes," sweeping and swirling.
A few "Imperial Court cultivators" standing at the edge of the "Purple Jade Bamboo Forest," caught off guard, were sent tumbling by the rich spiritual energy.
So dense, so powerful spiritual energy!
Immediately after, large swathes of "starlight" erupted and surged outwards.
The cultivators of the "Di Hua Divine Cult" disdained this "mixed and thin" "starlight."
However, the "Imperial Court cultivators" were enthralled.
Despite most of them being "Nascent Soul cultivators," they had never absorbed and refined "starlight" before.
Seizing this rare opportunity, many "Imperial Court cultivators" disregarded everything, sat cross-legged, and desperately absorbed and refined the "starlight."
Then came the "Sage Dragon Tooth Rice Tree," "Lovesick Tree Sapling," "Fragment of the Innate Star Chart," "Golden Page," "Phoenix Divine Tree Sapling"...
All sorts of formidable auras erupted.
Each one more impressive and powerful than the last!
Not only the ordinary "Imperial Court cultivators," but even Wang Ergouzi and the other two "Nascent Soul Patriarchs" were stunned into silence.
Holy cow!
What place is this?
So many powerful auras, it's too terrifying!
How many "peerless treasures" are hidden in this small bamboo forest?
In comparison, the "treasure vault" of their "Great Xin Dynasty" was simply a "rat's nest," with not a single "treasure" comparable to the auras here.
Terrifying indeed!
Truly terrifying!
Earlier, Wang Ergouzi and his companions had not taken the words of the "Nascent Soul of Long Liulin" too seriously.
How could a "Heavenly Immortal-level expert" be hiding in such a place?
But now, stimulated by the world-defying auras of the "Phoenix Divine Tree Sapling" and others, Wang Ergouzi and his group began to question their lives.
So, could there really be a "Heavenly Immortal" here?
Just as Wang Ergouzi and his companions were filled with suspicion, a figure emerged from the "Purple Jade Bamboo Forest."
The person was not tall, and their aura was not strong; they were merely a "Golden Core cultivator."
Their face was beaming with a warm smile, and they radiated a brilliance as bright and warm as sunshine.
They took a deep breath and began to sing loudly.
"My door is always open, embrace you with open arms..."
"First-Class Singing and Performing Artist" Niu Huan, has arrived!
Wang Ergouzi
o（（⊙﹏⊙））o
Wang Tidan
o（（⊙﹏⊙））o
Wang Maganzi
o（（⊙﹏⊙））o
A host of Imperial Court cultivators
o（（⊙﹏⊙））o
...
Stunned into silence!
They had imagined a million possibilities, but never in their wildest dreams did they expect the "Purple Jade Bamboo Forest" to welcome them with a song!
My door is always open...
Lalala...
You know, this cheerful melody is quite catchy...
