From the time I fought with the Daoist priest to the time Officer Wang hurried over, it had been less than fifteen minutes. That was why I thought that this place was very close to Wangwu Grotto-Heaven. Unexpectedly, after half an hour, Officer Wang still didn't stop.
Among us, the fat man had the lowest cultivation base. Moreover, he was tired, so he couldn't help but ask Officer Wang, "How long will it take for us to get there?"
Officer Wang pointed at the top of a mountain in front of us and said, "Climb that mountain, and we'll be there soon."
The fat man and I looked up. The mountain wasn't far from us, but there were lush trees and no traces of buildings. It didn't look like a place where people lived.
Moreover, that mountain was the same place where the fat man and I had come from. It seemed that we had passed that place, but we hadn't found any traces of human habitation.
I guessed the fat man was angry because of the way I had addressed him. He shouted, "We just passed that place. There's nothing there. Don't fool us!"
Officer Wang knew where Wangwu Grotto-Heaven was. The fat man's words sounded like he was trying to pick a fight with us. I glared at him and tried to smooth things over. "Fatty, you're right. We've searched everywhere, but we didn't find the place. I suppose there's a concealing formation at the entrance of your Wangwu Grotto-Heaven, right?"
Officer Wang didn't even look at the fat man. When he turned to look at me, he wore a warm smile and said softly, "The Sage is right. The entrance of Wangwu Grotto-Heaven is very mysterious. It's on this mountain, but it's not."
"Kid, what kind of riddle are you talking about?"
The fat man was a little annoyed. He squinted at Officer Wang and said in a harsh tone, "If it's not on this mountain, why did you lead us for so long?
I'm so tired that I've lost a few pounds of fat! "
The fat man didn't want to give up. I glared at him and scolded, "Look at your fat body. It's a good thing that you've lost a few pounds.
Don't talk. Listen to Officer Wang's introduction. "
I was close to the fat man, so he didn't get angry when I scolded him. He just shut his mouth resentfully.
Officer Wang shot him a cold look and then said, "Wangwu Grotto-Heaven covers a large area, and it covers four mountains around it!
I said 'on this mountain' because those four peaks indeed belong to a single peak of Mount Wangwu.
The reason I said it's not on the mountain is because the four peaks of Wangwu Grotto-Heaven are completely concealed by the formation. If you stand outside, you won't be able to see any trace of it. "
Wangwu Grotto-Heaven actually occupied four mountain peaks!
A mountain might not sound big, but in fact, those who had climbed mountains knew that ordinary people might not be able to climb a mountain in an entire day. It was normal for a mountain peak to be built with thousands of people living in it.
One mountain peak was already like this, but Wangwu Grotto-Heaven actually occupied four!
What shocked me the most was that the four mountain peaks were completely covered by a formation!
The ancestor of the Wang Family who opened up the Wangwu Grotto-Heaven was quite generous.
Such a terrifying move could only be done by someone with great cultivation.
I searched around but didn't find the location of Wangwu Heavenly Abode.
While I was astonished, the fatty wasn't convinced.
He's a member of the Zhanyan Sect and has a profound attainment in formations. Back when we were at the foot of Mount Longhu, he helped me and Ye Pianpian defeat the Taoist priests of Mount Longhu led by Chen Yangting.
When he heard Officer Wang talk about formations, he thought for a moment and then sneered. "If there's really a formation covering the four peaks, not to mention how high the cultivation of the person who set it up must be, the coverage of the formation must be very wide. But we've been walking for a long time today, but I haven't seen any trace of the formation. Don't try to fool us!"
Officer Wang turned to look at the fatty and spat out two words coldly. "Ignorant!"
The fatty was angry. "Officer Wang, I'm not as good as you in terms of cultivation, but don't try to fool me in terms of formations!
I'm … "
Officer Wang interrupted him rudely. "The mountain-guarding formation of Wangwu Grotto-Heaven was set up by the ancestor of the Wang Family. It's normal that you can't find any trace of the formation!
If you could find any trace of it, our Wang family wouldn't have been able to survive for thousands of years! "
I frowned. The ancestor of the Wang family, Wang Jun of Xicheng City, was the teacher of Mao Ying, the founder of the Shangqing Sect. It was said that he was an Immortal who had become an Immortal. If he had set up a formation, it was normal that the fatty couldn't see any trace of it. Officer Wang's words made sense.
However, his attitude made me a little uncomfortable.
Both of them were my close friends, and my friendship with the fatty was much closer than Officer Wang's.
It seemed they still wanted to argue. I coldly glanced at Officer Wang and interrupted him. "We'll know the truth after we go there. Officer Wang, lead the way!"
Officer Wang seemed to hear the displeasure in my words. He didn't dare to argue with the fatty anymore. He even cupped his hands to apologize to the fatty. Then, he led the way.
I followed him and couldn't help but feel puzzled.
Judging from their argument, it was clear that Officer Wang was in the right. However, because of what I said, he took the initiative to apologize to the fatty.
His attitude was as if he had recognized himself as a servant.
This was the Wang family that had existed for two thousand years and ranked first among the ten heavenly paradises!
Whether it was Wang Can's identity as a Sage, the Nine Cauldrons Clan, or my previous life, they were all ancient things. I really didn't know what had happened thousands of years ago to make the Wang family so obedient to me and not change their original intention.
While I was thinking about these questions, Officer Wang stopped and turned to me with a smile. "Sage, we're here."
I stopped and looked up. This was the peak that Officer Wang had pointed at. However, we were surrounded by jungle, and I could vaguely hear the chirping of birds and insects. This place was even more remote than the dilapidated temple. Except for the animal path under my feet, I couldn't see any traces of living beings.
The fatty also looked around. Apparently, he wanted to find the traces of the formation. However, after a while, he couldn't find anything. He couldn't help but ask, "There's nothing here. Where is the entrance you mentioned?
Is it in the trees ahead? "
Officer Wang didn't dare to argue with the fatty anymore. He simply ignored him and said to me respectfully, "I'm going to activate the formation. You might feel uncomfortable when you enter it for the first time. Sage, please pay attention."
Uncomfortable?
I didn't mind it and nodded at Officer Wang.
Although I didn't know much about formations, with my current cultivation base, even if I felt uncomfortable, it would be very slight.
After notifying me, Officer Wang slowly raised his hands, and a mass of green light gushed out of his palms, instantly covering the three of us.
As the green light hovered, the surrounding scenery disappeared. Vaguely, I saw a white light shoot out from the trees ahead, echoing with the rotating green light.
When the two gradually merged into one, I felt a white light burst out of my body. Then, seven-colored light flashed back and forth, and there was nothing under my feet.
This feeling of weightlessness only lasted for a moment. Then, the seven-colored light faded away, and I was back on solid ground.
When I opened my eyes again, I found that the surroundings had changed.
It was a Taoist hall, which was simple and didn't have many decorations. It wasn't as luxurious as the royal palace, but its grandeur wasn't inferior to the royal palace.
Besides the hall, the first thing I felt was the rich spiritual energy blowing in my face.
The Spiritual Qi in this place was so abundant that the Taoist Qi in my body circulated much faster than usual. I felt so comfortable and relaxed, like a fish returning to the water and getting rid of its shackles.
Is this the Blessed Enclave?
It's really extraordinary.
At this moment, there were several cultivators in gray robes standing next to the hall. From the fluctuations of their Taoist energy, I could tell that they were all Heavenly Masters.
Among them were the five elders of Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth that I had met before, as well as a few others that I hadn't seen before.
Officer Wang took the first step forward and stood side by side with the Heavenly Masters. He knelt on one knee and cupped his hands at me. "Officer Wang and the Holy Spirit Guard welcome the Sage to Wangwu Grotto-Heaven!"
This wasn't the first time that Officer Wang and the others had saluted me. I still felt uncomfortable, but I didn't refuse them this time. I calmed myself down, cleared my throat, and said indifferently, "Get up. There's no need to be so polite."
"Yes."
Officer Wang nodded and then stood up. The other Heavenly Masters in gray robes also stood up and stood behind Officer Wang with their hands clasped behind their backs.
The five elders of Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth were all here, and Fu was with Officer Wang. However, Ah Lu, Ah Shou, and the others weren't here. I asked Officer Wang, "Where are Ah Lu, Ah Xi, and the others?
They were seriously injured in Chiyou's tomb. How are they now? "
"Their injuries have healed, and they are entertaining other guests. If the Sage wants to see them, I can summon them here," Officer Wang said with a smile.
I shook my head. Officer Wang had summoned me to attend the Heavenly Grand Ritual. Of course, other guests would come to watch the ceremony. There were many things to do, so I didn't want to add to his troubles.
After walking out of the hall, I saw a wide stone staircase in front of me. The stone staircase extended to a very far distance. I found that the hall was built on a very high mountain peak, and there were clouds and mist hovering under our feet.
After walking down the stone staircase for a short distance, we passed through the clouds. When I looked down, I saw that there was still a long way to go.
I was surprised. Mount Wangwu wasn't famous for its precipitous cliffs, but in this Heavenly Paradise, there were such magnificent buildings. They weren't inferior to those steep mountains.
Officer Wang seemed to see my surprise. He smiled and explained to me, "This stone staircase is called the Heavenly Staircase. It's the most dangerous place in our Wangwu Paradise.
Sage, please come over here. "
While talking, he pointed at a cliff on the left.
I lifted my head to look. There was a pavilion there. It had an ancient style, and it contrasted well with the surrounding scenery. It was extremely beautiful.
I nodded my head and lifted my foot to walk over.
"This platform is called the Immortals' Viewing Platform. Standing here, you can see the whole picture of our Wangwu Paradise." Officer Wang smiled and continued to talk to me. "Sage, take a look."
I looked in the direction he was pointing. Sure enough, when I stood there, I could see the surrounding mountains and peaks.
After looking at it for a while, I felt refreshed. When I was about to look away, I found that something was wrong. My face changed, and I took a deep breath.
Officer Wang saw my expression and smiled. He said, "Sage, you must have seen the Wang family's True Dragon Veins."
After a while, I slowly exhaled. The shock in my eyes hadn't disappeared. I turned to look at Officer Wang and asked with uncertainty, "Are there … four True Dragon Veins here?"
The value of the True Dragon Veins was indescribable.
In the secular world, the powerful Metaphysics Society only had one True Dragon Vein.
Even Mount Longhu, which controlled all the Taoist sects in the world, only had three True Dragon Veins. But this Wangwu Paradise … had four!
It was worthy of being called the world's number one Paradise!
I wasn't the only one who was shocked. The fat man next to me also forgot to quarrel with Officer Wang. He opened his eyes wide and gulped. He asked me doubtfully, "Third Baby, am I seeing things? Are they … True Dragon Veins?"
