NOVPUBChapter 243: Chapter 178 Preparation_1
In the southern part of the Luoyun Mountain Range, above a mundane city.
Through the thick clouds, a Purple Gold Eagle swiftly flew over Qingfeng Town, heading straight towards the south.
It had been nearly ten years since Lin Tianming last visited Qingfeng Town. Returning to this place and looking down at the vast range of buildings below, he felt a great sense of nostalgia.
Following the end of the clan war within the Luoyun Mountain Range, many mortals from the Jin and Wu Families had been relocated, gathering in the five major towns of their clan. Now, Qingfeng Town had further expanded in size and its population had noticeably increased.
Gazing at the newly-built wooden pavilions below and the city having expanded by a third, Lin Tianming didn’t stay long before continuing to fly southward on the Purple Gold Eagle.
Half a day later, Lin Tianming arrived at the southern part of Qingfeng Town, near the edge of the Whirlwind Mountain Range close to Huangyang Kingdom.
He stopped atop a hill and gazed at the lofty, distant mountains on the horizon, lost in thought.
Just then, three Qi Refining Cultivators flew in his direction as a group, their expressions showing some excitement.
The three cultivators failed to notice Lin Tianming at all until they were a few hundred zhang away, when they finally realized he was standing with his arms folded, waiting for them to approach.
Seeing Lin Tianming, the fact that they hadn’t detected him sooner surely meant that he must be a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, without a doubt.
The highest-cultivated among them, Xiao Jingshan, looked somewhat nervous upon realizing this and did not dare to leave directly. He bravely came forward to pay his respects, followed closely by the other two who stepped up to the front of Lin Tianming.
“This younger generation pays respect to the senior!” The three, led by Xiao Jingshan, bowed respectfully with clasped hands.
Lin Tianming waved dismissively, adopting an indifferent demeanor as he spoke, “Why are you three in such a rush? Has something significant occurred?”
Upon hearing Lin Tianming’s interrogating words, the faces of Xiao Jingshan and the other two turned pale, and they immediately divulged the strange occurrences within the Whirlwind Mountain Range without any reservations.
Hearing this, Lin Tianming was puzzled, but at this critical juncture, all peculiar events had to be thoroughly investigated.
With this in mind, he asked, “Is there a treasure that has appeared? In what exact location?”
“Senior, the three of us encountered it while cultivating in the Whirlwind Mountain Range. The location is at the edge of the mountain range, roughly a few hundred li to the south,” they replied.
Before they had finished speaking, Lin Tianming remained composed and then spoke,
“Tell me the details. If I find this information interesting, I could reward you generously!”
Hearing the promise of a reward, one of the Qi Refining Cultivators at the Seventh Level of Qi Refinement immediately started speaking, eager to make a good impression.
“Senior, it was ten days ago when suddenly, there was a huge noise in that mountain range. The ground shook violently, and a crack opened on the valley floor out of nowhere. Soon after, a light screen appeared between heaven and earth that could reflect attacks. It is very bizarre!”
“Yes, at the time, many cultivators were drawn over, but no one could do anything about the light screen that appeared out of thin air. Some even had their arms severed by the rebounding attacks!” 𝑛𝑜𝑣𝑝𝑢𝘣.𝘤𝑜𝘮
The three took turns explaining the strange happenings, providing far more detail than they had initially offered.
In no time, Lin Tianming had a rough understanding of the situation and also knew the exact location of the valley.
“Without a doubt, the strange disturbances within the Whirlwind Mountain Range are the signs of a Secret Realm’s emergence!” Lin Tianming thought to himself.
Excited by the thought, Lin Tianming kept his emotions hidden, maintaining a distant expression.
“This information you’ve provided is indeed interesting to me. Here is a little token of appreciation,” Lin Tianming said, and casually took out three hundred Spirit Stones, distributing them to the three Qi Refining Cultivators.
Each person received a hundred Spirit Stones, which was nearly equivalent to several months of their earnings.
Seeing the Spirit Stones, Xiao Jingshan and the others showed delighted expressions and quickly bowed to express their gratitude.
Lin Tianming gestured dismissively, then paid them no more attention.
Now that he had found the entrance to a Secret Realm, he naturally wanted to investigate it immediately. After that, he would rush back to his clan. His time was pressing, and he needed to reach the Whirlwind Mountain Range with Lin Shilu as soon as possible. It would be a pity to miss the opportunity to enter the Secret Realm due to any delay.
With this thought, Lin Tianming didn’t linger and, with a great leap covering a hundred zhang, he quickly disappeared into the sky.
Watching Lin Tianming vanish, Xiao Jingshan and the other two let out a sigh of relief, their faces filled with joy as they left together.
…
By evening half a day later, Lin Tianming followed the directions provided by Xiao Jingshan and his companions, quickly arriving near the entrance to the Secret Realm.
From a distance, he could see the earth cracked open, revealing a light screen with golden light twinkling and emitting faint fluctuations of a prohibition, easily discernible even from behind a small hill.
“It seems these three had the sense not to deceive me!” Lin Tianming murmured to himself, having confirmed the location of the Secret Realm Entrance. He didn’t care for the darkness of night and turned directly north, flying away.
Luckily, he wasn’t too far from the Luoyun Mountain and no powers resided in this area. With the Purple Gold Eagle flying at full speed, it wouldn’t take long to enter the territory of his clan.
…
Two days later, Green Bamboo Mountain.
Lin Tianming, who had rushed back from the edge of the Whirlwind Mountain Range, plunged into the Protective Clan Formation.
Once back on clan grounds, he immediately sent messages to several elders and made his way to Lin Shikang’s abode to gather.
In no time, he arrived at Lin Shikang’s cave dwellings.
Seeing Lin Tianming return first, Lin Shikang quickly pressed, “Tianming, have you located the Secret Realm Entrance?”
“Third Grandfather, your nephew found an entrance to a Secret Realm at the border of Wei Kingdom and Huangyang Kingdom, within the Whirlwind Mountain Range!” Lin Tianming reported.
