Soon, the Jiuhua Cloud Chariot entered the sect's forbidden area.

After passing through the chaotic sword energy maze, seven mountain peaks shrouded in dense spiritual mist appeared before them.

The mist surged and flowed among the mountains like a tide, partially obscuring the dark green ridges. Occasionally, a mountain breeze would blow, and the mist would swirl into layers of snow-white waves.

This was Baili Qiushui's first time visiting the forbidden area.

They are still in the outer area of ​​the restricted zone and have not yet actually entered the interior.

However, seeing the thick fog ahead, Baili Qiushui still felt somewhat strange.

She had visited Su Jinxuan before and had been to the Golden Rainbow Sword Sect several times, but she had never seen this area before, nor had she ever seen such dense fog.

Is there anything special about the area shrouded in fog?

She turned to look at Su Jinxuan, her scholarly eyes filled with a hint of inquiry.

Noticing Baili Qiushui's gaze, Su Jinxuan immediately smiled and transmitted her voice, "Qiushui, this is why our sect needs a new defensive array. You'll see when you get there."

Baili Qiushui raised an eyebrow, her eyes sparkling with curiosity. She nodded slightly and transmitted her voice, "Hmm, I'll see what's going on later."

As a master of array formations, to set up a defensive array that truly suits this world, one naturally needs to first conduct an on-site survey and sense the spiritual veins and terrain.

In a few breaths, the group entered the area shrouded in spiritual mist.

A dense spiritual mist surged in like a tide, instantly enveloping Baili Qiushui.

Her delicate body trembled violently, and her once calm and serene eyes widened suddenly, filled with disbelief and shock.

She almost instinctively exclaimed in surprise, "This...this concentration of spiritual energy?!"

Her exclamation sounded particularly abrupt in the quiet forbidden area, attracting everyone's attention.

Everyone turned to look, even Lu Yang, who was standing in front of the ancient carriage and talking quietly with Mu Yunxue, cast a glance at them.

Lu Yang's interface appeared the moment he first saw this unfamiliar Nascent Soul stage female cultivator.

This Nascent Soul True Monarch is a 10 out of 10 beauty, and can be considered a standard of beauty.

Seeing that the female cultivator and Su Jinxuan were standing so close and seemed to have a very intimate relationship, he guessed that she was probably the array master friend from Xuanji Palace that Su Jinxuan had mentioned.

Judging from her shocked expression, she must have never been here before?

Perhaps Su Jinxuan and she had just returned to the sect and hadn't had time to come over yet?

While Lu Yang was pondering, Lin Xuanchen, Qi Yunshu, and Han Qianshan looked at Baili Qiushui with rather serious expressions.

Lin Xuanchen stroked his long beard, his eyes, which held a restrained brilliance, filled with solemnity: "Fellow Daoist Baili, this forbidden area is the greatest secret of my Golden Rainbow Sword Sect. I hope that Fellow Daoist Baili will swear a great oath to Heaven and never reveal anything about this place."

Qi Yunshu and Han Qianshan nodded, their expressions extremely serious.

Su Jinxuan wasn't so serious. As a close friend, she had known Baili Qiushui for many years and knew her character very well. She was always very tight-lipped and wouldn't spread this matter.

However, to reassure her other senior brothers, she gently advised, "Qiushui, this matter is extraordinary. Make a solemn oath to Heaven."

Baili Qiushui's lips twitched slightly, and he glanced at Su Jinxuan with a hint of resentment.

If she had known that this guy's request for her to set up the formation involved such a shocking secret, she would have seriously considered whether or not to help him!

The concentration of spiritual energy here is probably ten times that of the core area of ​​a normal high-grade spiritual vein!

Such a concentration is comparable to the legendary top-grade spiritual veins!

What is a top-grade spiritual vein? That's a cultivation holy land that only immortal sects and holy lands can have!

If word gets out about the concentration of spiritual energy here, even if it attracts the covetousness of powerful cultivators at the Nascent Soul stage, Baili Qiushui wouldn't be surprised at all!

No wonder Jin Xuan asked her to set up the most powerful formation she knew.

This place must not be leaked in the slightest.

Without further thought, she took a deep breath, a solemn expression appearing on her beautiful face, and slowly said, "Alright, I swear an oath to Heaven."

"Heaven's will is above, and the Great Way is our witness..."

As she uttered her vow word by word, a mysterious force of law silently descended and vanished in a flash.

This means that Heaven has recorded this oath, and if it is violated, even a Nascent Soul True Monarch will not be spared from the backlash of Heaven.

After Baili Qiushui made her vow, Lin Xuanchen and the others finally relaxed.

Lin Xuanchen smiled apologetically at Baili Qiushui, his tone sincere: "Fellow Daoist Baili, please don't take offense. This matter concerns the life and death of our sect, so we have to be extremely cautious."

Baili Qiushui shook his head slightly and chuckled, "Fellow Daoist Lin, you flatter me. If it were my Xuanji Palace with such a secret, I would probably be even more nervous than your sect. I understand."

Afterwards, she once again sensed the almost liquid concentration of spiritual energy around her, and unable to hide her curiosity, she asked Su Jinxuan, "Jinxuan, what's going on with this spiritual energy? There wasn't any when I came to your sect last time..."

At this point, Baili Qiushui suddenly trembled, as if she had thought of something.

She suddenly widened her eyes and looked at Lu Yang on the bronze chariot beside her.

During the conversation between Lin Xuanchen and the others and Lu Yang just now, it seems that the topic of spiritual energy concentration was mentioned?

She remembered that Lin Xuanchen and the others were worried that Young Master Lu's elders would come to question him because of the forbidden area...

So that's why!

She opened her mouth, her beautiful and gentle face showing astonishment: "Could it be... that the changes in the spiritual energy in this area are related to Young Master Lu?"

Lu Yang chuckled and nodded, his tone casual and frank: "That's right, I did it."

Baili Qiushui took a deep breath, her chest rising and falling slightly.

No wonder...

No wonder they were worried that this young master Lu's elders would cause them trouble.

To increase the spiritual energy concentration of this area tenfold—what kind of extraordinary skill would that require?!

The price that needs to be paid is probably unimaginable.

It's normal for elders to come looking for trouble!

However... it seems that this young master Lu just said that for him, this was just a small favor?

What exactly is the identity of this Young Master Lu?

The flying magic weapon he uses is either a top-grade spiritual treasure or a Xuan Tian magic weapon. It is said that he also has another flying magic weapon that is quite good.

In less than a month, a beast egg can be nurtured into a fully formed Nascent Soul stage demon, and the quality of the demon's bloodline can also be improved!

Now, I can increase the spiritual energy concentration of an area tenfold at will!

None of these things are things that an ordinary cultivator could do.

Could he... really be a banished immortal?

She glanced at Lu Yang's exceptionally handsome face, and her heart skipped a beat.

She felt that his gentle and composed face appeared even more handsome and refined under the shroud of spiritual mist, and his aura blended perfectly with the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, making it impossible to look away.

Su Jinxuan saw this scene and raised her eyebrows slightly.

She coughed lightly, interrupting Baili Qiushui's thoughts, and said, "Qiushui, I'll have to trouble you to take care of the formation in this area."

Baili Qiushui snapped out of his daze and realized that he had been staring at the other person for quite a while.

Her ears burned slightly, but she quickly composed herself and nodded, saying, "No problem! By the way, I need my disciple's help to set up the formation this time. Would it be alright if she could come in as well?"

This time, Baili Qiushui brought her personally taught disciple with her.

After all, his own disciple mostly stayed within the sect researching formations; he was timid and shy.

Except when facing array patterns, she is radiant and cheerful, but when she sees strangers, she wants to shrink into a ball!

Baili Qiushui naturally hoped that she could see more of the world, so he treated it as a trip and dragged her out half-coaxed and half-pulled her.

Even cultivators cannot avoid interacting with others, and she was genuinely worried that her disciple might suffer a loss because of his personality.

Upon hearing this, Su Jinxuan immediately nodded: "Of course. However, Mingyue will need to make a solemn oath to Heaven."

Su Jinxuan and Baili Qiushui were close friends, so she naturally knew Baili Qiushui's disciple, Baili Mingyue.

Baili Mingyue was an orphan that Baili Qiushui rescued in her early years. Although they were master and disciple in name, they were actually like mother and daughter.

Because of her childhood experiences, Baili Mingyue is exceptionally timid and shy. Even when facing Qiu Shui's good friend, she still appears timid and hesitant.

However, Su Jinxuan also doted on her close friend's apprentice.

Therefore, when Baili Qiushui suggested bringing Baili Mingyue along, she did not refuse.

Baili Qiushui breathed a sigh of relief and nodded, saying, "Of course. I will make her swear an oath."

She then looked around, sensing the terrain shrouded in spiritual mist, and pondered, "The situation of your sect's forbidden area is too special. I need to think carefully about how to set up this formation. If we really want to set up the formation, it will probably take quite a while."

Lin Xuanchen immediately said, "Time is not an issue. Fellow Daoist Baili only needs to ensure the effectiveness of this formation. All materials in the Golden Rainbow Sword Sect's treasury are at your disposal! You need not hold back in the slightest!"

Qi Yunshu and Han Qianshan nodded repeatedly from the side.

All the Supreme Elders of the Golden Rainbow Sword Sect unanimously value the safety of the forbidden area.

We must spare no effort to ensure this place is not exposed!

Just kidding, this is the foundation upon which their Golden Rainbow Sword Sect rose to prominence!

Whether the Golden Rainbow Sword Sect can become a sacred immortal sect in the future depends on this forbidden area!

Whether they can become Nascent Soul cultivators in the future also depends on this!

As they talked, the Jiuhua Cloud Chariot stopped at the summit of the mountain in Luyang.

The nine cloud dragons roared in unison, and their fifty-foot-long bodies slowly dissipated in the spiritual mist, transforming into a sky full of pure white clouds that merged into the surrounding mist.

The pale gold patterns on the nine-tiered canopy disappeared in response, and the bronze chariot quietly settled on the platform at the summit.

Lu Yang took Mu Yunxue's hand and slowly stepped off the ancient carriage.

Lu Yang glanced at the bronze chariot behind him, thought for a moment, and decided not to store it in his storage ring like he did with the Flowing Light Flying Boat.

The main reason is that there is a small world inside this bronze chariot. If it is put away, it would be a waste of that spiritual field and spiritual pool.

It might come in handy if left outside.

Just then, several streaks of light flew over from the depths of the spiritual mist.

Those were Foundation Establishment and Golden Core cultivators practicing within the forbidden area.

They were all the younger generation whom Qi Yunshu and others favored or were closest to.

Of course, a presence was also emerging in Lu Yang's mountains, rapidly approaching the summit.

Lu Yang could sense that it was Qin Nanyue's presence.

They had clearly sensed the presence of the nine cloud dragons and were all awakened from their cultivation to come and check the situation.

The beam of light quickly landed on the summit platform, revealing the figures within.

Among them were several acquaintances of Lu Yang.

This included Qin Huan, Qin Yun, Qin Xiaohe, and Qin Lan, all Foundation Establishment cultivators from the Qin family, as well as Mo Qianyun, the elder of the Affairs Hall, and Qi Fang and others.

Upon seeing Lu Yang, Qin Huan and the others' eyes lit up, and they all broke into bright smiles.

They were quite grateful to Lu Yang.

After all, without Lu Yang, how could they be qualified to cultivate in such a place rich in spiritual energy?

Not to mention, they also know that their own sister Nan Yue now has an excellent relationship with Lu Yang.

If nothing unexpected happens, we'll be family in the future.

Speaking of which, Lu Yang is their brother-in-law.

Mo Qianyun, on the other hand, regarded Lu Yang as a benefactor and showed him great respect.

Only Qi Fang noticed Lu Yang and Mu Yunxue's hands clasped together at first glance.

He felt as if he had been struck by an invisible thunderbolt, his body jerked violently, and all the color drained from his handsome face, leaving it as pale as paper.
