Chapter 258: Immortal Mansion Opening
Chapter 258: Immortal Mansion Opening
"Sorry, not this time."
Mei Xi Yao gently shook her head, offering no further explanation, and then walked past the group, heading upstairs.
They watched her graceful figure as she left.
The Primordial Sages exchanged glances and quickly sat back down.
The other cultivators, filled with anticipation, hurriedly averted their gazes.
Every time Xuan Jian Zhenren brought his own ingredients, after he left, the Eight Directions Dining Hall would open its doors and invite guests from far and wide.
However, there were exceptions.
For instance, when Nie Jun brought the remains of the demons from the Thousand Demon Cavern, the people from Wutong Mountain dared to eat them, but these small forces didn't have the courage, not even daring to ask a single question.
"Prepare, the Immortal Mansion is about to open."
Zhang Zhenren waved his sleeve and also headed towards the door.
He didn't lower his voice; instead, he intentionally let everyone hear him.
His magnanimous demeanor once again earned him the admiration of the crowd. Although Xuan Jian Zhenren's cultivation was unfathomable, ordinary people couldn't benefit from him. In comparison, Xuan Guang Dong Zhenren was more approachable.
As Zhang Zhenren left the dining hall, a group of people followed noisily.
Mei Xi Yao, who had just gone upstairs, finally came out, followed by several people from the dining hall, all quietly looking down below.
Until the hall was empty.
She sighed unconsciously, and the others also shook their heads with bitter smiles.
This situation was exactly the same as the last time.
These powerful cultivators, who had worked so hard to reach their current level, actually believed in the so-called "Celestial Sect" reputation of Xuan Guang Dong.
In the corner, Shen Yi also stood up.
This strange behavior of Zhang Zhenren was something that a small constable like him, who had come from Boyun County, could see more clearly.
However, despite their reservations, they still had to go.
After staying in Da Qian for so long, it was to ensure that they wouldn't be too timid when they went out.
"Isn't the Grandmaster here for the Immortal Mansion?"
Mei Xi Yao had also noticed this black-robed youth earlier. For people like them, who welcomed and sent off guests, it was impossible to overlook any cultivator with strength.
Seeing that he didn't leave with Zhang Zhenren, she spoke up, "If so, please come to the third floor for a meal?"
"Let's talk about it when I return."
Shen Yi shook his head and quickly walked out.
Although he was interested in the exquisite dishes that were comparable to Essence Pills, he still prioritized important matters.
"..."
Despite his caution, he couldn't resist his ambition in the end.
It was just a casual reminder, and Mei Xi Yao didn't intend to keep him any longer.
However, coming back might not be so easy.
...
Eight Directions Valley headed west.
What came into view were two eagle-beaked cliffs facing each other, resembling a tall archway.
Zhang Mingyang stood at the base of the cliff with his hands behind his back. Even though he had experienced this many times, his eyes still held a sense of longing.
The Celestial Sect cultivators, even those who had left the inner sect and sought seclusion elsewhere, could build such exquisite Immortal Mansions.
Despite the passage of time, they could still keep others out, leaving him sighing helplessly.
In fact, the cultivation level of these Soul Transformation Cultivators wasn't much lower than theirs.
However, when it came to various means and experiences, they were far inferior.
He silently calculated the time.
On the sixth day and night, the moonlight draped over the eagle-beaked cliffs like a thin veil.
At the archway formed by the two cliffs, a faint light curtain emerged.
The Immortal Mansion was open!
Almost everyone's eyes lit up with intense excitement.
But since Zhang Zhenren hadn't made a move yet, they had to forcefully suppress their excitement.
"My Xuan Guang Dong is not as barbaric and domineering as you think. You don't need to pay attention to me, please feel free."
Zhang Mingyang waved his sleeve, dispelling everyone's doubts.
Those with lower cultivation levels hesitated, but the more than ten Primordial Sages cupped their fists and bowed, "Thank you, Zhang Zhenren, we won't stand on ceremony."
"The weaker factions have shallow foundations, and they can't compare to the two Celestial Sects. Even the treasures of the Martial Temple are enough to make them salivate."
"A Primordial Sage with an ordinary background has truly exhausted all avenues."
Even though they knew the dangers within, compared to the agony of having no path forward and the torment of their dwindling lifespans, they wouldn't let any opportunity slip by.
What's more, if they were lucky enough to find a Spirit Transformation Realm cultivation technique, perhaps their backers would one day be able to join the ranks of the top-tier... and even replace the Grand Qian Martial Temple.
As he spoke, their bodies flickered with radiant light.
The vast aura of the Primordial Realm spread out, soaring into the sky!
Over a dozen figures soared, and the moment they touched the archway's light curtain, they merged into it, their forms and auras disappearing without a trace.
With someone taking the lead, the remaining cultivators became eager to try.
Their cultivation was already low, and if they fell further behind, even with their ancestors' blessings, if they encountered something valuable, they wouldn't be able to keep it.
In an instant, several dozen more people rushed in.
Those who remained quietly watched Zhang Zhenren, having followed the crowd here but now hesitating.
Zhang Mingyang smiled but didn't pay it much mind.
He whispered a few words to those behind him.
Then, leading the gray-robed elder and two others, he calmly walked into the light curtain.
"What?"
The cultivators looked at the remaining person, suddenly feeling that something was amiss.
If they remembered correctly, this person was also a renowned Zhenren of Radiant Light Cave, known as Zhang Chenlin. He had reached the Ultimate Primordial Realm, yet he was left outside while investigating the Immortal Mansion.
"Heh."
Zhang Chenlin stood in place, looking at the light curtain with a smile that wasn't quite a smile.
Seeing this, the cultivators held their breath, feeling a lingering sense of dread. Fortunately, they hadn't acted on impulse. Who would have thought that Radiant Light Cave, with its power, would resort to such a petty act as guarding the door to an Immortal Mansion?
They had truly lost all face.
"Let's go."
The crowd whispered and quietly retreated outside.
Even if they obtained something, they wouldn't be able to take it with them, and it wasn't worth taking the risk. Who would be foolish enough to go in now?
Just then, one "fool" finally took a step forward.
Shen Yi raised an eyebrow.
She had thought that Radiant Light Cave had prepared some conspiracy, but after quietly observing for a while, they used such a method that was even inferior to a village bully's tactics.
What a waste of time.
In the stunned gazes of the crowd, the black-robed youth soared across the sky and directly crossed through the light curtain above Zhang Chenlin's head.
"Wait, can someone still enter?"
They glanced at Zhang Chenlin and saw that his expression was extremely unpleasant.
"Others are Primordial Sages, so they naturally have some courage."
"To be so young and not know which major power they're from."
"They must be from a major power... how could Radiant Light Cave not know them?"
As this group retreated, they whispered among themselves.
But after discussing for a while, no one knew the youth's background. Their thoughts varied; some felt regret, while others empathized, as only disciples from smaller factions would understand how precious a path to the next realm was and that it was worth risking everything to obtain it.
However, the majority were those who held themselves in high regard and ridiculed the youth.
No matter how high one's cultivation, in the end, they were just young and impatient. Their cultivation might be low, but they were more likely to live longer than the youth.
As they discussed, outside the Eight Directions Valley, a white crane stood quietly with several other demons.
Before them, a narrow light curtain gradually appeared, like a tear in clothing.
Even the perfect formations would show flaws over time.
The news that even Condensing Core Realm cultivators knew about couldn't have escaped the Thousand Demon Cavern.
They pretended not to know, only wanting to give Radiant Light Cave a surprise.
