100-year-old foundation building, starting from the maximum level of understanding

Chapter 103 Cangling Mountain, Encounter with Yang Donghuai, a cultivator from the Changhe Sect
hum!
It was at this moment that the restrictions on the cave where Ji Haoyuan was located were suddenly gently touched.

It's a real person calling me.

Ji Haoyuan immediately understood.

Without hesitation, he put away all his belongings, opened the barrier, and came outside the cave.

The slender Ice and Fire Immortal stood outside his cave.

Upon seeing Ji Haoyuan emerge, True Person Ice and Fire immediately spoke up:
"Ji Haoyuan, the year is almost up, it's time for you to set off."

"Yes!"

Ji Haoyuan immediately agreed.

"Yang Donghuai, the eldest disciple of Senior Brother Yanhuo, should also be going to the Thousand Streams Secret Realm."

If you meet in the secret realm at that time.

If he doesn't make things difficult for you, that's fine. But if he intends to make things difficult for you, or even targets you, you don't need to be polite.

"I'm here for you, there's nothing to worry about."

As she spoke, Ice and Fire Immortal raised her jade hand.

An object resembling a small sword fell into Ji Haoyuan's hands.

"This is my Golden Core Sword Talisman, possessing true third-tier power."

If you ever encounter misfortune or face a life-or-death crisis, you can activate this talisman, which should protect you.

However, if you use this talisman, the Thousand Streams Secret Realm will detect the existence of a true third-tier power and expel you from the secret realm.

Therefore.

Unless absolutely necessary, remember not to use this talisman.

This is a genuine concern for Ji Haoyuan's safety.

Ji Haoyuan felt a warmth in his heart and quickly bowed in reply:
"Yes, thank you for the talisman, Master. I will remember it."

"Go."

Ice and Fire Immortal stopped speaking.

Ji Haoyuan then stopped hesitating, bowed to the Ice and Fire True Man to take his leave, and then summoned the flying artifact Cloud Shuttle, disappearing into the sky above Miaoyu Peak in an instant.

The Cangling Mountains are located in the central part of the Hongduan Mountains.

This mountain is thousands of feet high, and is surrounded by giant trees that spiral around it.

Viewed from above, the entire mountain resembles a crouching eagle.

It gives people a sense of grandeur and ferocity.

at this time.

At the summit of Cangling Mountain, a considerable number of people had already gathered.

Look around.

The auras of everyone present were all extremely profound.

They were all cultivators at the Great Perfection of Foundation Establishment.

And their clothing was all different.

There are righteous cultivators and demonic cultivators with sinister auras.

In normal circumstances, the righteous and the evil are irreconcilable enemies, and when they meet, a battle is inevitable.

But today, at this time and in this place.

There seemed to be a tacit understanding between the two sides.

They were about ten feet apart and did not interfere with each other.

Whoosh!
Just then, a streak of light appeared, approaching from afar.

Upon reaching the summit, a tall, handsome man, who appeared to be around thirty years old, immediately came into view.

It was Ji Haoyuan.

At this moment, he scanned the scene with his divine sense and took in the situation.

Those who know this place are likely waiting for the opening of the Thousand Streams Secret Realm.

What caught his attention slightly were those dressed in his faction's clothing.

Those people were clearly not native cultivators of the Hongduan Mountains, but rather cultivators from Golden Core sects elsewhere.

Moreover, all of them had one thing in common: they all seemed to exude arrogance.

Especially when their gaze swept over the local cultivators of the Hongduan Mountains, a hint of disdain seemed to be hidden deep in their eyes.

The feeling... well, it was like watching a bunch of country bumpkins who'd never seen the world.

This caused Ji Haoyuan's eyes to narrow slightly involuntarily.

"Um……?"

Just then, Ji Haoyuan's spiritual senses seemed to be activated.

He couldn't help but turn his head and look at the distance not far to the side.

there.

A familiar figure came into view.

It was Yang Donghuai, the eldest disciple of the Flame Flame True Person, whom he had met on his return to the Crimson Cloud Sect's mountain gate.

However, what made Ji Haoyuan frown slightly was that the other party was currently with four Foundation Establishment cultivators from the Changhe Sect.

Furthermore, it seems that Yang Donghuai also saw him.

A few moments.

He spoke to the four cultivators from the Changhe Sect, and then led them directly toward him.

"Junior Brother Ji, I never expected that the person who came here this time would be you."

Yang Donghuai's voice came before he even arrived.

But he was all smiles and very enthusiastic, as if he had never targeted Ji Haoyuan at all.

"Come, come, Junior Brother Ji, let me introduce you."

At this moment, Yang Donghuai continued with a smile:
"The people around me are all fellow practitioners from the Changhe Sect here."

Regardless, we are all native righteous cultivators of the Hongduan Mountains, and we should assist each other on this journey to the Thousand Streams Secret Realm.

Without waiting for Ji Haoyuan's reaction, Yang Donghuai began to introduce the four cultivators from the Changhe Sect to him.

However, the four people from the Changhe Sect reacted indifferently, their expressions seemingly carrying a hint of "reserve," and their gazes toward Ji Haoyuan contained a subtle sense of condescension.

Ji Haoyuan did not miss the other party's reaction.

However, out of courtesy, he still greeted each of the four men individually.

The four of them reciprocated with gifts.

Just then, one of the four men, named Gu Shaoyang, who appeared to be around twenty-six or twenty-seven years old, spoke to Ji Haoyuan:

“Fellow Daoist Ji, right? Since you and I are both righteous cultivators from this land, my fellow disciples and I will take care of you during our trip to the Thousand Streams Secret Realm.”

But you probably also know that there's no such thing as a free lunch.

If we encounter a Core Formation spiritual object in that secret realm, we will need to compete with cultivators from other sects for it. You and Fellow Daoist Yang will also need to help us fight against it together.

What do you think?

Upon hearing Gu Shaoyang's words, Ji Haoyuan instinctively felt that something was amiss.

But he still tried his best to maintain his composure, and instead asked with a smile:

"Fighting the enemy together is no problem, but I'd like to know, have you all thought about how to distribute the Core Formation spiritual item afterwards? Or is there a specific plan?"

As soon as Ji Haoyuan finished speaking, Gu Shaoyang and the other three were stunned.

Immediately, a beautiful female cultivator dressed in colorful clothes frowned and said:

"Fellow Daoist Ji, have you misunderstood something?"
Since you and your esteemed Fellow Daoist Yang have received our care, the distribution of the spiritual items needed for Core Formation is naturally none of your concern.

of course.

If there are any surplus items afterward, we might consider giving you a Core Formation item.

"What? Fellow Daoist Ji, do you perhaps have some objection or disagreement regarding this?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Ji Haoyuan's gaze immediately turned to Yang Donghuai.

He found it hard to imagine what Yang Donghuai and the people from the Changhe Sect had just said.

With a dignified Core Formation spiritual treasure right in front of them, how could the other party just hand it over?

So what is he doing here?

However, Yang Donghuai remained unmoved.

He smiled slightly and said to Ji Haoyuan:

"Junior Brother Ji, you don't know this, the Thousand Streams Secret Realm is not as simple as you think."

Not to mention the demonic beasts that already exist within the secret realm, the potential conflicts between different factions are beyond your imagination.

Do you know how many cultivators have perished within the Thousand Streams Secret Realm during its previous openings, due to various factors?
