Chapter 98 is about to begin.
Chapter 98 is about to begin.
Time passed slowly, and soon the Jishui Mountain Grand Array was ready. The array, which had not been activated for hundreds of years, had been fully maintained and would be fully activated in half an incense stick's time to isolate the world.
At this hour, almost no one was coming in anymore, and a few sentries yawned.
That's a wrap. The shelter is short-staffed because of this, and all the sentries have been reassigned to the shelter. These guys at the gate have been standing there for a whole day and night.
"Let's go, let's go. We're done here. Life and death are in the hands of fate. I'm going to get a good night's sleep. I reckon it'll all be over when I wake up."
"Oh dear, I'd love to see what the Twin Dragons look like, but unfortunately we can't go up the mountain. I wonder if we can see them from below; I guess there'll be martial law."
"What's that twinkling thing in the sky?"
"What could it be, a grand formation... Wait, what fell down? Did the Twin Dragons Flow into Water happen ahead of schedule?"
A black dot was seen flying erratically in the sky, exhibiting Brownian motion. After approaching the great formation, it plummeted downwards, seemingly heading towards the sentry post at the entrance.
"Damn it! Everyone hide in the back!"
Suddenly, someone shouted, and the sentries were instantly wide awake. They rushed toward the large rock in the mine at the speed of a 100-meter hurdles hurdle, flipping, jumping, and crouching in one fluid motion.
"Ow~"
The black dot suddenly grew larger, and two people rushed over with their swords. An old man with a thick beard was holding the young man in front of him tightly, his dark hands gripping the other's clothes tightly. He was also frantically pulling on the clothes as the young man made rapid turns in the air, and the clothes were torn in many places.
This is truly outrageous!
The longsword fell vertically downwards, then suddenly rose three inches above the ground, like a horse reining in its gallop, the violent pull throwing the two men completely off the sword.
"Phew~~Phew~~We're here. Let's go inside."
"The Immortal Master's magic is truly... truly... amazing! I've never gotten seasick in all my years of sailing, but today... ugh!"
The boat captain vomited. This crazy aerial cruise and crash flight made him realize he'd probably never dare travel with a celestial master again.
Not to mention him, even Zhong Ming himself was completely disoriented. He'd been pressed for time and had no choice but to activate the "Sword Control Technique." Since the mother and child swords had already bound themselves to each other, the previous tedious procedures could be skipped, but...
According to the book, it was normal for the longsword to fly slowly at first and not be able to carry a person.
With the combined power of the twelve meridians, eight extraordinary meridians, and the dragon vein, Zhong Ming was propelled forward like a wild horse, completely out of control. He completed dozens of extremely difficult maneuvers in mid-air before finally crashing down after exhausting his spiritual energy.
Luckily, he reacted quickly and injected a little bit of spiritual energy when he got close to the ground; otherwise, those two would be meat patties by now.
"Come on, let's go through the door first. Hey guys, let us in!"
Zhong Ming practically dragged the boat captain into the mine. Only then did the sentries crawl out from behind the rocks and greet this "immortal master".
"Dong~~"
He had barely stepped through the gate when a bell rang throughout the entire mine.
"The bell has rung, close the gate quickly!" The sentries immediately closed the gate and withdrew according to the pre-arranged plan. A few soldiers guarding the innkeeper and his men, showing some loyalty, remained and rushed to greet him upon seeing Zhong Ming return.
"Immortal Master, oh dear, Immortal Master, my son...where is my son?"
"It's up ahead. I'm out of time. See you later."
Zhong Ming took off running like a madman. If he was late for the assembly, Instructor Xueyan's fierce attacks wouldn't be merciless.
.....
Xueyan stood in the square, and every new recruit was running quickly toward their instructor. The bell was the command, which could be clearly transmitted to every temporary rest room.
Xuan Jing pushed Chen Dahai and ran wildly. Everyone else stood in line. Xue Yan glanced around and wondered where the little guy had gone.
"Where is Master Cuihong?"
"Report, not in the lounge, I checked."
"Huh? Everyone in the wheelchair is here but he isn't? He's really bold..."
"coming."
Zhong Ming suddenly leaped up from the cliff behind Xue Yan, tumbling and crawling, getting a mouthful of mud on his face. After a few stumbles, he reached Xue Yan's side, but before he could stand properly, he bumped into her.
Su Longshan, who was next door, was very excited when he saw this. He was now in the Foundation Establishment stage and had temporarily become the superior of the new recruits' instructors. While patrolling the area, he spotted this place at a glance.
"Oh my, you've already bowed to heaven and earth? Kneel down quickly, I'll be your master of ceremonies."
"Get out, and you too, get back to the team right now."
Xueyan almost blurted out "You big-headed devil!" but then she remembered that the new recruits were still there and that bastard Su Longshan had even broken through to a higher level, so she managed to stop herself.
The sound of the bell tolls and dust settles, making it seem completely unrelated to the word "rest."
Xueyan glared at him, but didn't immediately settle accounts. She obeyed orders and led the new recruits to sit in order on the flat ground at the top of the mountain.
The scenery is beautiful, making it the best viewpoint, where you can clearly see the spectacular sight of the two dragons riding the water.
Su Longshan circled the Qi Refining stage team step by step, his voice not loud, but clearly audible to everyone.
"Listen up, everyone. There's a Dao pattern under your feet. See that hole the size of a spirit stone? When I give the order, put your hands in it and pour your spiritual energy into it. Understand?"
"clear."
Everyone sat cross-legged here, but they were actually quite free, since it hadn't started yet.
Yue Kaishan flicked his sleeves. After losing his arm, the left sleeve was tied in a knot, but it was too long and swung around in the air as he walked.
The sleeve slapped Zhong Ming's shoulder.
He asked in a low voice, "Brother Cuihong, where did you go just now?"
"I went out for a walk, I wanted to see if the power of the Twin Dragons Moving Water was really that great."
Zhong Ming looked to one side. Sitting on the mountaintop, he could see the small valley over there, where several seriously wounded people and goods were hiding. It was actually not far from Jisui Mountain.
"It must be huge. There are countless Foundation Establishment cultivators, and even Golden Core seniors have seen quite a few."
"Hmm, Golden Core seniors?" Zhong Ming looked around. "Where are they?"
Yue Kaishan looked up and pointed, "Up there, can they sit on the ground with us?"
In the sky, a huge disc-shaped flying object hovered, its pale purple color and simple, smooth curves subtly revealing its extraordinary nature.
It made no sound or light, and the flow of air was not affected at all, as if there was nothing in the sky above.
