Chapter 1078:
"Fellow Daoists, where are those people you've imprisoned being held?" Yang Fei asked Yun Zong and Lu Chen and the others.
Lu Chen said, "In a cave. I've used the Trapped Dragon Formation to imprison them so they cannot escape with their skills."
Yang Fei laughed, "Of course, Daoist Lu's proficiency in formations is exceedingly high. Among Earth's cultivators today, those who can crack your formations are few and far between."
Lu Chen smiled slightly, his face radiating brilliant confidence.
He was very confident in his accomplishments in Rune Tao and formations; if it weren't for Yang Fei inheriting Li Er's legacy, Lu Chen would have thought that no one in the whole Earth Space could match him in these two domains.
The group set out toward the White Jade City Mountain Range.
With the White Jade City in plain sight, there was no need for a guide anymore. Yang Fei wanted to see who had come to explore the White Jade City and sped up with the Lingxiao Sect's people.
Qin Yanyang followed along; having entered the Foundation Establishment Stage, her speed was enough to keep up with the people from the Lingxiao Sect.
Helian Zhan and other Hidden Sect veteran Divine Travel Realm experts saw Yang Fei and Qin Yanyang flying by sword with seven Lingxiao Sect members, far faster than their own flight, each revealing deep shock.
Once again, they felt the gap between themselves and Yang Fei, Qin Yanyang, and those Outer Realm cultivators.
A profound sense of disparity left these older generation Divine Travel Realm experts deeply distressed.
Mo Li, Chen Liangzhong, and Zuo Wenjun looked at Huang Chengcheng.
Huang Chengcheng gave a bitter smile, saying, "Why are you looking at me? These two kids are exceptionally talented, far ahead of us on this path of cultivation. As their master, it's naturally gratifying and makes me proud."
"Hahaha, isn't there even a little feeling of disparity?" Qin Huai'an asked with a smile.
Huang Chengcheng snorted, "Old Qin, does saying it make you happy? None of us here feel good about it after all, and you're offending more than just me with that statement."
Qin Huai'an laughed heartily, "I'm not afraid. My granddaughter is so formidable, and my grandson-in-law is invincible under the heavens; even those Outer Realm experts are polite to them. Who among you old fellows could I possibly offend?"
They all knew he said it on purpose, and couldn't help but laugh.
Wang Chunyang sighed, "The times have changed, and if we don't strive to advance, we might truly be left behind by these younger generations."
Helian Zhan nodded, a touch of determination on his face.
Because of Duanmu Qing, he had been known as Second Place for a millennium.
Duanmu Qing had died many years ago, and he had long since been the undisputed top talent in the Hidden Sect World, unmatched even by Wang Chunyang.
But now, Duanmu Qing's son and daughter-in-law emerged again, making him frustrated with the feeling of being surpassed by both older and younger generations.
He wasn't jealous, just slightly envious; at the same time, he was secretly competing, thinking of striving and advancing someday to surpass these two young men, Yang Fei and Qin Yanyang.
The other Hidden Sect Divine Travel Realm cultivators naturally felt this way too.
Previously, most of them disagreed with submitting to worldly regulations and did not want to be suppressed by these juniors, Yang Fei and Qin Yanyang.
For this reason, they went abroad to establish their own forces.
Now, with Earth's Spiritual Energy revival, they all felt their cultivation had significantly advanced, yet upon encountering Yang Fei and Qin Yanyang again, only to realize these two had stepped into a realm of cultivation they could only dream of, the gap, instead, had widened further.
"Let's go, first to that mountain range to see. Yang Fei mentioned Earth's ancient Cultivation Civilization is buried there; perhaps we might gain some new cultivation opportunities. Catching up to this kid someday is not impossible," Zhao Wannian said.
Everyone nodded quietly.
They had all been cultivation talents in the Hidden Sect World before, although now aging, Earth's Spiritual Energy revival brought them hope as they learned from Ye Wuya's words that being one hundred and fifty years old in the Cultivation World is not considered old, nor even just the beginning of cultivation age. Eagerly, they thought if they could break through to the so-called Foundation Establishment Stage, they could enjoy much longer lifespans, extending life by decades or even centuries.
The maximum longevity of the Foundation Establishment Stage is an impressive three hundred years.
The oldest among them is just around one hundred and fifty years old, if they could break through to Foundation Establishment, it would mean they've only lived for half their lifetime, still in middle youth.
Most importantly, Ye Wuya said once Foundation Establishment succeeds, the body's functions can restore to a state of being in one's twenties.
This is simply too perfect.
Having a young and robust physique, longevity finally becomes genuinely enjoyable.
At present, the crowd continued their journey, drawing closer to the towering, cloud-reaching massive mountain range in the distance.
Meanwhile, Yang Fei and the others traveled by sword, moving several times faster than the main group.
After half an hour, they arrived at the large platform before the cave mouth they had originally escaped from within the Nine Nine Return One Array of the White Jade City.
"Those three are imprisoned in this cave." Lu Chen said to Yang Fei.
Yang Fei said, "Please release them, Daoist Lu."
Lu Chen nodded, executing a spell with his hands, and sent a power into the cave from afar.
A faint golden light flickered at the cave entrance, followed by the dissipating of the sealing power.
In an instant, three figures rushed out of the cave.
Yang Fei's eyes lit up, fixing his gaze on the first figure to emerge, calling, "Sun Xingyu!"
Sun Xingyu froze in place.
Originally, he intended to escape with all his might when the formation imprisoning them was being opened. However, hearing Yang Fei's familiar yet long-lost voice, he stopped.
Of course, most importantly, he sensed several strong opportunities locking onto him. Even with all his effort, he feared he wouldn't escape.
"Indeed, you were not truly seized by Yamamoto Rentu." Yang Fei laughed as he saw Sun Xingyu stop and look towards him after hearing his call.
Sun Xingyu's eyes slightly reddened, looking at Yang Fei but not speaking.
Beside Sun Xingyu stood two top experts from the Penglai Realm: one was Ookamura Hirokazu and the other named Watanabe Injin, Dubian Lang's brother.
The Dubian Family in the Penglai Realm was a major clan; the sibling pair was extraordinarily gifted, cultivating to the highest realm.
Since the last devastating catastrophe, Japan had been nearly destroyed except for less than one-fiftieth of its population surviving.
The country was already positioned in a disaster-prone region; the destructive calamity's biggest impact was felt by coastal countries and cities, having swallowed the islands with massive waves. Only Penglai Realm experts with certain Martial Arts Cultivation survived, along with a few extraordinarily lucky individuals.
After surviving, Penglai Realm cultivators gathered survivors, and once the seas retreated, they sensed Earth's anomaly, fearing another destructive calamity might occur. Hence, they dispatched several experts to seek new footholds, hoping for a total clan migration.
And the Arctic, this enormous mountain range pulled up from the deep ocean by alien race experts, became the first exploration target for Sun Xingyu and his group.
