Chapter 184 Land of a Thousand Peaks
Thunder roared, a fierce wind arose, and dark clouds surged like ink.

Su Cheng slowly opened his eyes from his meditation. With a casual wave of his sleeve, a barrier of mysterious mist appeared out of thin air, keeping the torrential rain out.

After five days of rapid travel, traversing the territories of two countries without any obstacles, they finally entered the southern border of the Five Wilderness Domain.

"The climate here is humid, and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth seems to be abundant."

He sensed the energy flowing around him and frowned slightly. "More concentrated than before?"

“The distribution of spiritual energy varies in different parts of the Five Desolate Regions.”

Shi Xuan whispered in his ear, "The place where Thousand Peaks Ridge is located should be a place where the spiritual energy of heaven and earth converges."

Su Cheng unfolded the map, examined it closely, and pondered for a moment.

I initially thought Qianfengling was just an ordinary mountain range, but upon closer inspection, I realized that the name "Qianfeng" (meaning "thousand peaks") was not an exaggeration.

The continuous mountain range stretches for thousands of miles, with countless treacherous peaks and precipices, its vastness even exceeding the entire borders of the Eastern Morning Kingdom.

"It will take about one or two more days to reach Qianfengling."

Before he could finish speaking, he suddenly sensed a fluctuation of spiritual energy several miles away, which seemed to be a clash of mystical arts.

"It's so lively even on a rainy day."

This wasn't the first time I'd encountered this scene along the way.

It is common for cultivators to compete for rare and precious materials or to seek revenge.

"As the spiritual energy of heaven and earth gradually diminishes, this kind of scramble for resources will only intensify in the future."

As Shi Xuanzheng was sighing, he suddenly felt a slight vibration coming from Su Cheng's arms.

He took out the sound transmission jade stone, and a faint light flashed before his eyes. A muffled voice then rang out:
"Is that your uncle?"

"it's me."

Su Cheng raised an eyebrow slightly: "It's rare that Xiao Fu would use telepathy to call me. Is there something you want to discuss?"

".no."

Flora paused slightly on the other end of the jade stone and said in a low voice, "I just finished cultivating and suddenly felt like trying this thing to see if it works."

Su Cheng: “.”

Shi Xuan covered his mouth and smiled.

Su Cheng smiled helplessly and said, "Now that you've heard what I said, how do you feel?"

These days, he has spent a hundred years' worth of spiritual energy to continue deducing this formation. Although his rank has not improved, the transmission distance has been expanded several times.

It seems that even though they are here, there is no problem in maintaining contact with Dongchen and even Wenyou Mountain.

"It's acceptable."

Flo's voice grew even lower: "Uncle, how have you been lately?"

"All is well, we are on our way to Qianfengling."

Su Cheng asked gently, "How are things on your end?"

Not bad.

Flo was silent for a moment: "Let's talk about it another time."

After saying that, the telepathic communication abruptly stopped.

"."

Su Cheng stared at the jade in his hand, which had dimmed, his expression growing increasingly strange.

Did this girl really send a telepathic message just to say hello?
Shi Xuan covered his mouth and chuckled, "It seems that Miss Fu is indeed quite shy."

"Yes, she is somewhat similar to Xuan'er back then."

"I"

She paused, then shyly nudged Su Cheng's side, saying, "How could I be so rude?"

Shi Xuan's delicate white hand was suddenly enveloped in a warm palm. Her body trembled slightly, and she subconsciously tried to pull away, but was instead pulled into an embrace.

"Don't"

Her face flushed, and she gently pushed him away, feigning reluctance: "Why are you always like this?"

Su Cheng was about to make another joke when his expression suddenly changed.

[Detected 'Tide Heart Vein', 14.8km]

There is a spiritual vein about ten miles away.

He raised the corners of his lips slightly as he spoke: "I'll take a look since I'm on the way."

Shi Xuan forgot to struggle and couldn't help but blink his icy eyes: "Your divine sense can perceive so far?"

"It's just that I'm exceptionally sensitive to fluctuations in spiritual veins."

"This ability is truly amazing."

Shi Xuan seemed to be deep in thought when she suddenly caught sight of the puppet beside her, and her heart trembled slightly.

She gently tugged at Su Cheng's sleeve and said shyly in a soft voice, "When we're going to refine the spiritual veins later, you mustn't cause any more trouble."

Meanwhile, tens of thousands of miles away—

Flora pressed the jade tightly against her chest, a charming blush spreading across her youthful face.

"How embarrassing."

She murmured softly, turning to lie down on the soft bed. Recalling their incoherent conversation, the girl felt her cheeks burning.

She had clearly planned how to inquire about his recent situation when she came out of the pass, but as soon as she heard Su Cheng's voice, her mind went blank, and she stammered, not knowing how to start the conversation.

My heart is beating so fast.

Her slender hand rested on her high, firm chest, and her eyes shimmered with tears.

Thinking of the various rumors about Thousand Peaks Ridge recently, she remained silent for a long time, then suddenly sat up, put on her veil, and her figure turned into a wisp of black smoke and drifted out of the cave.

After passing the ancient courtyard in the mountains, Flora quickly arrived at a secluded bamboo garden, where she gracefully bowed in greeting.
"Master, your disciple has a favor to ask."

"Go ahead."

A hoarse old woman's voice came from inside the garden, slightly amused, saying, "Little Luo'er has done a great service by bringing back the Netherworld Treasure Mirror this time. Whatever her wish may be, this old woman will try her best to fulfill it."

"Disciple wishes to go to Thousand Peaks Ridge."

"."

The bamboo garden suddenly fell silent.

After a long pause, the old woman's voice rang out again: "You have never liked getting involved in worldly disputes, so why are you doing this now?"

“A benefactor is traveling alone, and I am worried about his safety.”

Flo said in a completely calm tone, "I want to lend him a hand."

A thoughtful voice came from inside the garden: "You are no longer a child. Now that you have made your decision, it is not appropriate for this old woman to stop you."

"Master."

"I have only one request."

The old woman in the garden said meaningfully, "After it's done, bring your benefactor here so I can meet him."

The clouds dispersed and the rain stopped, and the morning sun shone brightly on the mountains.

Su Cheng held the delicate puppet in his arms and flew over the ancient town on his sword.

Glancing down at the faintly visible, mysterious array patterns below, he couldn't help but exclaim, "I never imagined that even a mountain town like this would be protected by an array."

"This Thousand Peaks Ridge is no ordinary country."

Shi Xuan lazily leaned on his shoulder: "It is said that the descendants of the four clans in that strange realm have mixed bloodlines and are scattered throughout various parts of Thousand Peaks Ridge."

Because they control cultivation resources, they are less like towns and more like the mansions of immortal sects bound together by bloodlines.

"This kind of weather is indeed far superior to that of Dongchen."

Even the Kingdom of Baichuan is far smaller than this.

While he was pondering, Su Cheng's expression suddenly hardened.

With all forty cultivation rooms operating at full speed, the cultivation progress of the initial stage of the Danxuan realm has finally been perfected.

As the last wisp of spiritual energy was refined and absorbed, the shackles of his cultivation realm were suddenly broken!

boom!
A surge of energy suddenly rippled out from his body, transforming into a scorching wind that swept in all directions, with faint crackling lightning crackling in the air.

Shi Xuan opened his eyes in surprise: "What is this?"

"I've broken through." Su Cheng quickly concealed his aura, and the strange phenomena around him gradually subsided.

Looking inward at the dantian, one could see that the golden core was covered with densely packed life star patterns, and the thunderous flames and profound energy were flowing endlessly in the meridians.

The intermediate realm of Danxuan has been reached naturally.

"Your cultivation speed is still terrifying."

"Thanks to Xuan'er's help." Su Cheng smiled and gently pinched the puppet's pink cheek.

Although only two low-grade spiritual veins were found along the way, failing to raise the level of the Immortal Sect, the pure spiritual energy accumulated over six hundred years was a tangible gain.

How dare you say that?

Shi Xuan blushed and stammered, "Your methods of bullying people are getting more and more sophisticated."

Recalling the embarrassing posture her body unconsciously twisted under his palm when she absorbed the spiritual vein not long ago, she couldn't help but feel her heart race.

"Ok?"

At that very moment, both of them had a change of expression.

Their gazes turned in unison to the distance, where a powerful aura was rising into the sky, stirring up the clouds and mist.

"That is."

“Hundreds of spirit boats,” Shi Xuan said in a low voice. “Among them are many powerful figures, so they must be local forces from Thousand Peaks Ridge.”

Su Cheng seemed to be deep in thought. A sect capable of assembling such a force was certainly no ordinary sect.

As they pondered, the two sides drew closer, and hundreds of blue and white spirit boats lined up in the sea of ​​clouds, their banners fluttering, creating a magnificent sight.

"I don't know either—"

His gaze sharpened slightly as he suddenly looked toward the bow of the main ship.

A figure dressed in pristine white was looking over from the side, and their eyes met at that moment.

After observing for a moment, Su Cheng relaxed his brows, nodded to the other party from afar as a greeting, and then rode his sword, transforming into a streak of light as he swept past the fleet.

"."

On the bow of the ship, the young man in white watched the receding sword light, his five fingers unconsciously clenching, causing fine cracks to appear on the white jade railing.

Who is this person?
