Chapter 379: The Three Sects Gather Together_1
Two days later.
In a certain valley of the secret realm, the figures of Lin Tianming and Hu Yuan appeared.
Since leaving that lake, the two had smoothly made their way to this location.
This was a place they had passed before, and because of its complex geography and topography, it was also very concealed, making it an excellent refuge.
Since it was familiar territory, they could make use of it for closed-door cultivation, avoiding aimless wandering like headless flies, which could attract unnecessary troubles or even unknown dangers.
After all, the goal of closed-door cultivation was to pass the days safely.
With this in mind, the two quickly remembered this valley and successfully arrived here.
At this moment, as they looked at the familiar valley, Lin Tianming and Hu Yuan were in good spirits, their faces always brimming with smiles.
"Lin, that place is not bad; how about we open up a temporary cave abode here?"
Hu Yuan pointed to a depression deep in the valley and said with a smile.
Lin Tianming looked in the direction Hu Yuan was pointing and thought that Hu Yuan was indeed a loose cultivator at the Ninth Level of Foundation Establishment, who had spent years traveling to various places in the Wei Kingdom's Cultivation World; his vision was truly unique and sharp.
This place was surrounded by mountains on three sides, and there was a narrow passage in the depths of the valley that cut through the mountains, very concealed; almost impossible to find without reaching the entrance.
There was also a large river that flowed through the entrance, followed by an expansive open area with no visible end.
Such a location was indeed perfect for a cave abode, as it would allow them to quickly leave in case of any disturbance.
Since this place was so suitable as a temporary cave abode, he naturally had no objections.
Having made up his mind, he chatted idly with Hu Yuan for a few moments before they each chose a spot to start digging.
In less than half an hour, the two had dug out their cave abodes, then gathered together again.
Then, Hu Yuan cupped his hands towards Lin Tianming and said, "Lin, I have left the Purple Gold Eagle at the entrance of the valley as a guard so we can cultivate in peace."
Hearing this, Lin Tianming nodded, thinking that using Hu Yuan's tamed Second Order Initial Stage Purple Gold Eagle as a guard was quite suitable.
If the demonic beast left behind was too strong, it would instead attract stronger demonic beasts and cultivators, who might think that something incredibly valuable was hidden here.
After all, the cultivators who could enter the Tianfeng Wind Secret Realm were at least at the Sixth Level of Foundation Establishment and above.
With their level of strength, they weren't likely to find anything valuable in the den of a Second Order Initial Stage demonic beast.
So they probably wouldn't be interested in taking action.
Given that the Purple Gold Eagle was fast and could hide high in the sky to provide early warning in case of danger,
and with some warning restrictions in place, they could be alerted in advance. If they weren't facing a Foundation Establishment Cultivator who was much too powerful, or a Third Order Demon Beast, they were unlikely to be threatened.
Knowing this, Lin Tianming naturally did not oppose Hu Yuan's suggestion.
After chatting a bit more and confirming some protective details, they each entered their cave abodes.
Sitting in the cultivation room, Lin Tianming was calm and did not immediately enter the cultivation state.
He was still somewhat excited at heart, his face revealing a satisfied smile.
It was truly a huge gain, and he had yet to calm down after so long.
Now that he had found a place for seclusion, all he needed to do was wait for the time when the secret realm would close, and he could leave this place to return to his clan.
Thinking of the Clan Leader and the other elders of his generation seeing the two Fruits of Fortuity and the Creation Fruit Tree, what kind of expressions would they have?
They would surely be shocked at first, followed by uncontrollable joy!
Every time he pictured these wonderful scenes, Lin Tianming became somewhat impatient.
However, there were still more than two months left, and he couldn't afford to be careless before returning to his clan.
Only after returning to his clan's territory could he be completely safe.
Understanding this, Lin Tianming steadied his mind, waited until he had fully calmed down, and then began his cultivation.
...
In the blink of an eye, two months passed.
Now, there was only half a month remaining until the Tianfeng Wind Secret Realm closed.
That day, in a valley within the Tianfeng Wind Secret Realm, the figures of dozens of cultivators appeared, forming three groups of people, each standing on a mountaintop.
At a glance, each group wore uniform attire with the embroidered patterns on the chest of their daoist robes indicating their identities.
Clearly, these people were disciples from Zhenyang Sect, Myriad Medicine Valley, and Golden Sword Sect.
Among them, several cultivators in distinctive outfits mingled within, appearing quite conspicuous.
These uniquely dressed individuals were the loose cultivators or family cultivators who had broken away from various battlefields.
Among them was Zheng Xiao, sitting alone behind the disciples of Zhenyang Sect, silent.
At this moment, the three groups of cultivators gathered together, all staring in the direction of the interior of the valley with odd expressions on their faces.
Among them, only seventeen disciples from Zhenyang Sect were still here, nearly losing over half of their number.
And Li Xiuyuan, Long Qingshui, Jun Buhui, and others familiar to Lin Tianming, all led the disciples of Zhenyang Sect, and when they looked towards the disciples of the Golden Sword Sect, there was a sense of anger in their expressions.
Not only the disciples of Zhenyang Sect, but the disciples of Myriad Medicine Valley here only numbered twenty-two, who were sitting centered around Yang Chen.
When they looked at the disciples of Golden Sword Sect, their reaction, though not as intense as the disciples of Zhenyang Sect, also appeared quite grim.
Apart from the two great sects' cultivators, the disciples of Golden Sword Sect here outnumbered the other two factions, reaching a total of twenty-five.
