Mortal: I became invincible after becoming sworn brothers with Han Li.

Seeing that the other party had already sent a communication talisman, Li Yunfan was overjoyed and chatted with the other party for a few more minutes.

Through conversation, Li Yunfan learned that the square-faced man's name was Yun Lei, a disciple of the Illusionary Stone Peak, one of the six peaks of the Falling Cloud Sect. He was guarding the mountain gate there to complete a task assigned by the sect.

Top sects like Luoyun Sect have nearly two thousand Foundation Establishment disciples. Some Foundation Establishment disciples with less talent are naturally assigned various tasks, while those with excellent talent are mainly responsible for cultivation and are generally not assigned such time-consuming tasks.

When Yun Lei recounted these events, a hint of helplessness appeared on his face, but he quickly recovered and smiled as he continued to tell Li Yunfan the story.

"Fortunately, the sect treats all disciples equally. Even those in the Qi Refining stage, whether inner disciples or outer disciples, receive the same treatment. This is a unique feature of the Falling Cloud Sect!"

Li Yunfan smiled slightly. He was naturally aware of this situation. After all, even Han Li had felt a sense of warmth in the Luoyun Sect, which showed that it was indeed a breath of fresh air among the many sects in the cultivation world.

Just then, Li Yunfan's brows twitched, and he looked up at the distant horizon.

Yun Lei was taken aback when he saw this. He then followed the other person's gaze but found nothing unusual. So he asked in confusion.

"Fellow Daoist Li, what is this...?"

Before he could finish speaking, his divine sense detected an anomaly, and then a flame gradually appeared from the horizon, soon flying to his front.

Yun Lei reached out and grabbed the flame, then made a sword-finger gesture with his other hand and waved it around a few times before squeezing it hard. The flame exploded with a "bang," and the sect leader's words echoed in his ears.

Li Yunfan waited quietly, without using his divine sense to probe the contents of the transmission talisman. However, by observing the square-faced man's expression, he could roughly guess what it was about.

After hearing the sect leader's words, Yun Lei smiled and said to Li Yunfan, "Fellow Daoist Li, the sect leader is aware of your matter and has instructed me to escort you to the sect's main hall!"

"In that case, I'll trouble you, Fellow Daoist Yun." Li Yunfan said with delight, cupping his hands in greeting.

Yun Lei nodded, waved his hand, and released a long, cyan magic artifact, which shimmered with spiritual light and looked quite extraordinary. Then, he lightly leaped and stood on the artifact.

Li Yunfan smiled slightly, raised his hand and released his Cloud Piercing Boat. Under the somewhat surprised gaze of the other party, he flew and stood on the boat.

The two then soared into the sky, flying one after the other towards the depths of Yunmeng Mountain.

Although Yun Lei is a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator, with the support of the magic artifact beneath his feet, his flight speed is not slow at all, and is already much faster than that of ordinary early stage cultivators.

The two soon arrived at a vast, white sea of ​​mist, where white vapor churned and the sounds of howling wind and thunder could be faintly heard, making it seem extraordinary.

Li Yunfan narrowed his eyes slightly, carefully examining the white mist several times, guessing that it must be some kind of extremely powerful array or restriction.

At this moment, Yun Lei also took out a small blue flag from his storage bag and chanted a spell over it. The flag immediately emitted a blue light, which became increasingly dazzling.

"open!"

As soon as Yun Lei finished reciting the incantation, he immediately became solemn, pointed the small flag at the sea of ​​mist, and shouted loudly.

A beam of cyan light shot out from the tip of the flag and plunged straight into the white sea of ​​mist. The sea of ​​mist, which was two or three zhang wide in front of the two people, immediately quieted down, while the rest of the area continued to churn.

As a clear chant echoed from the sea of ​​mist, the two or three zhang wide white mist suddenly split in the middle, revealing an unobstructed passage.

Seeing this, Yun Lei put away the small flag, called out to Li Yunfan, and flew directly inside. Li Yunfan naturally followed closely behind, controlling the Cloud Piercing Boat to fly into the passage as well, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Not long after the two left, the passage closed up on its own, and the sounds of wind and thunder resumed.

After flying for about the time it takes to brew a cup of tea, the two finally emerged from the sea of ​​fog.

As soon as he appeared, a rich spiritual energy rushed towards him. Li Yunfan took a deep breath and felt a surge of joy in his heart.

Looking closely, one is greeted by lush greenery, birdsong, and fragrant flowers, with several towering peaks standing tall before one's eyes—truly a scene of paradise.

Around these peaks, there are countless halls and pavilions, and many cultivators in various clothes move back and forth among them, seemingly very busy.

"Fellow Daoist Li, this is the Six Wonders Peak where the Luoyun Sect's mountain gate is located!" Yun Lei proudly introduced to Li Yunfan.

Li Yunfan's eyes lit up as he looked at the seven mountain peaks that formed a ring around him. He was amazed and overjoyed. From now on, this would be his place of cultivation!

The two did not linger and, led by Yun Lei, flew towards the largest mountain in the center. This mountain was three or four thousand feet high, and a light purple mist shrouded its waist, making it look even more hazy and mysterious.

But at the foot of this peak, there are densely packed buildings of all kinds, with bluestone streets running through them. On both sides of the streets, many people have set up stalls and are constantly calling out what they are selling.

Many disciples dressed in Luoyun Sect attire walked among the stalls, chatting with the owners as if they were bargaining, making the entire foot of the mountain look extremely lively.

Yun Lei was already used to this. He activated his magic weapon and flew over towards a stone palace that stood alone hundreds of feet high.

This stone hall was built entirely of huge bluestones, standing twenty or thirty feet tall, with a small side hall on each side, each six or seven feet tall.

Li Yunfan followed Yun Lei down to the large stone platform in front of the stone hall, looking at the hall with some curiosity.

"Fellow Daoist, please wait here for a moment. I will go and inform the sect leader first," Yun Lei said to Li Yunfan after putting away his magic weapon, and then strode towards the stone hall.

Seeing that the other party was stopped by two guards at the entrance of the main hall and only allowed to pass after showing his identity token, Li Yunfan couldn't help but raise an eyebrow slightly.

"It seems he really doesn't have much of a reputation in the Luoyun Sect, otherwise how could these two Qi Refining stage guards not recognize him?"

Earlier, when the two were chatting outside the mountain gate, Yun Lei frankly admitted that he was just an ordinary Foundation Establishment disciple of the Luo Yun Sect, and his cultivation aptitude was very average. He had only managed to achieve Foundation Establishment by chance after reaching the peak of Qi Refining. In the decades after he achieved Foundation Establishment, although he cultivated diligently, he had been stuck at the initial stage.

Among the nearly two thousand Foundation Establishment disciples of the Luoyun Sect, there are quite a few Foundation Establishment cultivators like him, so it's impossible for these Qi Refining disciples to know them all.

After waiting outside the palace for the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, Li Yunfan saw Yunlei come out of the palace. When Yunlei waved to him, Li Yunfan smiled slightly and walked forward.
