: Alarmed

Lu Jianghe remained silent, looking up at the highest point of that colossal peak that seemed to reach the sky.

As you look through the layers of clouds, the spatial distance is instantly shortened.

Above the summit, a cone-shaped, mystical mountain range floated, emitting a dark blue light.

Upon closer inspection, one can perceive that it is covered with a dense array of images of birds, beasts, insects, and fish, formed from golden runes, which transform, disintegrate, condense, and shatter.

This must be the Yuan Magnetic Divine Mountain.

The light flowing across the mountain appears serene, but in reality, it contains an extremely powerful magnetic force.

The golden-gray rune light covering its surface appeared and disappeared, which was the manifestation of the mountain's source leaking out.

The primordial magnet is extremely heavy and turbid, naturally restraining the five elements.

Once struck by the divine light, ordinary cultivators would find it difficult to withstand, and if their natal magic weapon belonged to the Five Elements, they would be easily drawn in and restrained by it, turning it into their own.

Ling Xiaofeng and Wen Qing should be in seclusion up there right now.

At this point, both of them had already discovered the drawbacks of cultivating the Yuan Magnetic Divine Light.

Unfortunately, who would have thought that to cultivate the Primordial Magnetic Divine Light to its full potential, one would need to possess the five elements of spiritual roots?

Ling Xiaofeng and Wen Qing were both exceptionally talented individuals, and in just five hundred years, they both reached the late Nascent Soul stage.

Originally full of ambition, intending to use the power of the Yuan Magnetic Divine Light to open the door to the Divine Transformation stage, he never expected that he would be blocked by the restrictions of the Five Elements Spiritual Roots and unable to make any progress.

What's even more unpredictable is that once this technique is practiced, it's like carrying shackles.

The two must remain close to the small area surrounding the Yuan Magnetic Divine Mountain at all times.

Only in this way can magical power be used freely; if one is too far away, one's state of mind will become unstable and one's supernatural powers will be greatly reduced.

Furthermore, the Yuanci Divine Mountain, while being the foundation upon which they relied for cultivation, also became an invisible cage that imprisoned them.

Although he was the master of the Star Palace and a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, he was troubled by the lack of a treasure containing spatial power, making it impossible for him to carry this divine mountain with him.

As for refining the entire mountain peak, even if the couple exhausted their lifespans, they probably wouldn't be able to refine even half of it.

Even with supreme supernatural powers, they can be firmly bound, as if imprisoned on the ground.

Only during the brief intervals when the Yuan Magnetic Divine Mountain was operating on its own and the fluctuations were relatively calm, could the two briefly leave the area of ​​the divine mountain.

As for the claim that ancient cultivators deliberately set traps to harm others, that's utter nonsense.

In ancient times, the method of using demon-transformation pills to replenish spiritual roots was extremely complete, as is common knowledge in the cultivation world.

Moreover, the unity of the five elements pursued by the Yuan Magnetic Divine Light is precisely the threshold required for cultivators to break through the Nascent Soul stage and advance to the Void Refinement stage.

These supernatural abilities merely bring forward the key requirements for this later stage.

This is why the Primordial Magnetic Divine Light can have the miraculous effect of enabling Nascent Soul cultivators to break through to the Divine Transformation realm with almost 100% certainty.

Time and life.

Just as Lu Jianghe's mind was racing and a thought was about to arise...

High in the sky, his natal flying sword, which roamed freely among the clouds and gales, seemed to sense something and instantly pierced through layers of clouds, flying towards Tianxing City.

This was not the result of Lu Jianghe's deliberate urging.

For a cultivator of the Great Wall of Sword Qi, cleaving through Mount Tuoyue with a sword is an instinct etched into their very bones.

Just now, a thought did flash through his mind: with his current Golden Core realm, if he were to unleash a full-force sword strike, could he cleave this small mountain in two?

This thought was like a dragonfly skimming the water, fleeting and merely a "thought" that was never put into action.

However, the flying sword is connected to his Daoist mind and spirit, possessing profound spirituality; the moment his thoughts arise, the sword intent is already born.

Without any deliberate guidance, the flying sword naturally followed the direction of that divine thought, traversing the distance, and hovered upside down directly above the Yuan Magnetic Divine Mountain.

However, Lu Jianghe immediately urged his natal flying sword to continue traversing the Milky Way and the sea of ​​clouds.

at the same time.

Inside the core of the Yuanci Divine Mountain, in a quiet room covered with numerous restrictions.

In the center floats an ancient armillary sphere, upon which the twenty-eight constellations radiate faint starlight.

Just as that invisible and intangible flying sword, yet imbued with boundless sword intent, was suspended upside down atop the sacred mountain.

hum!

The armillary sphere trembled slightly without warning!

The positions of the twenty-eight constellations flowing above them instantly became disordered and deflected. All the starlight shifted at the same time, and the direction of the star trails and the direction of the needle's point all pointed directly upwards!

This unusual star trail lasted only a moment, like ripples on water caused by a stone thrown in, before quickly subsiding.

The twenty-eight constellations slowly resumed their rotation, their starlight returning to normal.

"Just now, the armillary sphere..."

A woman's voice, with an uncertain tone, rang out in the quiet room.

No sooner had the words left his mouth than another deep, resonant voice spoke up.

"Yes, though it was gone in an instant, the star trails were revealed, pointing straight to the sky."

In an instant, their divine senses spread out to explore the void above the sacred mountain and beyond.

Empty.

There was not a ripple of breath.

illusion?

impossible.

The celestial sphere is an ancient artifact brought from the Void Heaven Palace. It is a powerful tool passed down by successive masters of the Star Palace. It is connected to the city's protective array and is exceptionally sensitive to the energy of heaven and earth.

Various thoughts came to mind.

What exactly is it?

It vanished in a flash, leaving no trace.

Is it Wan Sangu or Liudao?

The two were filled with doubt and surprise, but the celestial sphere had already returned to calm, and their divine senses swept over the surrounding three hundred miles without finding anything unusual.

After an fruitless investigation, they could only suppress their doubts and temporarily put this strange matter aside.

Moreover, Wen Qing is pregnant...

The higher a cultivator's cultivation level, the slimmer the probability of conceiving offspring becomes.

The pursuit of longevity and the continuation of one's lineage often presents a paradox.

In the human realm, female cultivators can sever the Crimson Dragon after forming their Golden Core.

In fact, most women choose to leave behind their offspring bloodline while they are still in the Foundation Establishment stage.

As for those with excellent aptitude and beautiful appearances, if they do not have a strong protector, their fate is only one of two things.

They will either become someone else's cultivation furnace or a plaything for others to enjoy.

Therefore, upon entering Tianxing City, Lu Jianghe did not intend to conceal his strength.

The purpose was to eliminate the two women and prevent any potential trouble later.

The towering stone wall, reaching tens of meters high, stretches along the coastline, seemingly without end.

Beneath the city walls, various gates were wide open, serving as passageways for entering and exiting the city.

Whether cultivators or mortals, all those wishing to enter the city must queue, undergo inspection, and reveal their identities before being allowed passage.

The three of them fell from the sky, attracting everyone's attention.

He flew through the air, accompanied by two beautiful female cultivators.

Most people's expressions changed slightly, and they exchanged glances. This was clearly at least a senior in the Core Formation stage!

As soon as Lu Jianghe landed, he naturally joined the end of the line.

Upon seeing this, the people in front of them hurriedly bowed and respectfully stepped aside, gesturing for them to go first.

In an instant, the long queue receded to both sides like a tide, making way for a passage.

Lu Jianghe was not surprised by this scene. He remained calm and led the two women straight to the guards in front of the city gate.
