Qixia Mountain, once a perilous place harboring Burning Sun Demons.
But now, all demon beasts are either dead or retreated.
The reason is none other than the emergence of the Dragon Vein.
Before Qixia Mountain, Earth Qi billows forth, transforming into a dragon-shaped current of illusion and reality, soaring to the sky.
The surging and immense Star Power akin to substance sweeps over the surrounding mountains, transforming the area into a sea of mist.
This concentration of Star Power is several times higher than the core areas of the Ten Great Sects; just inhaling it could enhance one’s Cultivation at the Upper Three-level.
Star mist like a sea, with radiant red clouds shining down, resembling the Immortal Realm.
However, throughout Qixia Mountain, undercurrents are already stirring...
At this moment, on the eastern peaks of Qixia Mountain, Taishang Sect disciples are seen everywhere.
Leading them is Ye Shuying, one of the Daoist Ten Heroes, known for her cold demeanor.
And not only these two, but other top experts from Taishang Sect are also effortlessly present.
Decree Vajra Nie Wu;
Dragon Binding Immortal Rope Li Qiao;
Sword Transformation Realm Hao Lingyun;
Array Dao Master Zhuge Xin;
...
Taishang Sect indeed has too many skilled experts!
Though Nie Wu and others aren’t listed among the Daoist Ten Heroes, their names are renowned throughout the Cultivation World, known by everyone.
And now, most of Taishang Sect’s experts have gathered among the eastern mountains of Qixia to prepare for the imminent formation of the Dragon Vein!
On a certain high peak, a fairy-like, cold and stunning female cultivator meditates alone atop the mountain.
Though only at the Early Sun Realm, her aura is mysteriously unpredictable, ethereal like an Immortal.
This woman is none other than Mu Kexian.
At this time, a tall and handsome youth with tiger eyes and dragon brows flies down from the side and lands on the peak.
"Junior Sister Mu." Nie Wu softly called.
However, Mu Kexian seemed oblivious, continuing to meditate.
Nie Wu wasn’t offended, chuckled lightly, and walked to a nearby green stone to wait.
His actions were smooth and skilled, as if he had been here many times.
Nie Wu sat on the green stone, his gaze lingering on Mu Kexian.
Skin like cream, hair like a cascade, surrounded by Purple Qi with morning light shining on her, she seemed like a fairy from a painting.
Transcendent talent, astounding comprehension, coupled with a Heavenly appearance seemed difficult not to be moved by.
"Look over there, Elder Nie is visiting Master Mu again."
On the peak and below, many disciples of Radiant Moon and Shining Star also noticed Nie Wu waiting on the peak.
"Has Elder Nie already visited four times in the past five days?" a female disciple of Radiant Moon laughed.
Someone beside her replied, "Indeed, the only day he didn’t come was when he went with Master Ye to set up arrays."
"I really envy Master Mu; even a top expert like Elder Nie is captivated by her. If only I were Master Mu, I wouldn’t have to choose..."
"Master Mu seems to cultivate the Supreme Forget Emotion Technique, which explains her lack of interest in Elder Nie."
"They say the Supreme Forget Emotion Technique also has a stage where emotions are involved... Perhaps Elder Nie hopes to be the one she develops feelings for?"
"You two should stop talking now." At this moment, a male cultivator interrupted them, "If the elders or masters hear you, you won’t be able to escape the consequences."
The two heard this, quickly casting a cautious glance upward.
Luckily, Mu Kexian still had her eyes closed, meditating, while Nie Wu was entirely focused on her.
The two quietly breathed a sigh of relief and glared slightly at the male cultivator.
...
Nie Wu waited for two hours.
At this time, the Purple Qi around Mu Kexian coalesced, retreating into her body, completing a cycle of cultivation.
"Senior Brother Nie, what brings you to find me again?" Mu Kexian opened her eyes and asked.
Nie Wu came to his senses, his eyes filled with fascination, still somewhat lingering.
With a dry cough, Nie Wu stood up and said, "Junior Sister Mu, Senior Sister Ye and the others are already discussing the layout of the array to guard the Dragon Vein."
Mu Kexian replied, "There’s no need to consult with me, just notify me when the time comes."
"Alright, I’ll tell Senior Sister to pick a safer position for you."
"No need," Mu Kexian softly said, "Master gave me Xuyu Time Leak not for self-preservation, but for slaying evil."
