Within a day or two, all the late stage Nascent Soul cultivators arrived one after another, and the side of the Immortal Palace gradually became lively.
Apart from them, the other middle stage and early stage Nascent Soul cultivators who entered the space didn't show up.
This phenomenon was very normal. On one hand, although Master Daoist Yuan Mu and the others invited them to enter the space, they had to rely on their own abilities to reach the Immortal Palace. There was no lack of dangerous places on Mount Lingshan, so some of them couldn't make it in time. On the other hand, there were spiritual treasures everywhere outside the Immortal Palace, so it was normal that many cultivators didn't want to get involved because there was a world of difference between the early stage and the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm. Although Master Daoist Yuan Mu was usually kind, he wouldn't care about ordinary early stage Nascent Soul cultivators or even middle stage Nascent Soul cultivators attacking him together.
They didn't have to wait too long. On the sixth day, Scholar Yu and the other cultivators from Yue Mountain Academy finally arrived. After some discussion, they decided to enter the Immortal Palace.
At this time, apart from the late stage Nascent Soul cultivators and their fellow disciples, only a few middle stage and early stage Nascent Soul cultivators had arrived.
"Little Friend Mo, can you tell us how to open this Immortal Palace?"
In the deal with Yuan Mu and the others, Mo Tiange's bargaining chip was the method to obtain the Immortal fate and the specific path. Because the power of the holy objects left by the other four Five Saints had declined, they didn't pass down all of their contents. This was also one of the reasons Yuan Mu and the others had to agree with her.
Mo Tiange nodded with a smile. "Of course."
Then she looked up at Ling Yunhe and the others and said, "Fellow Daoists, please come here."
The four of them glanced at their respective masters. After receiving instructions, they walked over.
Mo Tiange took out a Jade Slip from her Qiankun Bag. "The ancient restrictions on this Immortal Palace are very powerful. Back then, the Five Saints worked together but only came up with a method to temporarily open a passage.
This passageway could only exist for three days. After three days, it would not be easy to open the passageway again.
This is the Jade Slip recording the method. You should memorize it first. "
The first to take the Jade Slip was Ling Yunhe. He took it without hesitation and probed it with his divine sense. After a while, he passed the Jade Slip to the next person.
Next were Jiewu, Han Shizhi, and Yang Chengji. When the four of them finished reading, Mo Tiange asked, "Do the four of you need some time to familiarize yourselves with this place?"
Before the others could answer, Jue Wu chuckled and said, "Benefactor Mo, this humble monk's aptitude is mediocre. I'm afraid I won't be able to grasp it in a short time and ruin Seniors' plans. Please give me an hour to familiarize myself with the technique."
Mo Tiange smiled and nodded. "Then we'll start in an hour."
Since Jue Wu said so, the others didn't say anything else. They each found a place to meditate, silently recited the incantation, and began to adjust their breathing.
"Tiange." Qin Xi was a bit worried when he saw Mo Tiange coming back. "This method …"
"Don't worry, it'll be fine."
Mo Tiange knew what he wanted to say. The strength of this Immortal Palace's restriction was obvious to everyone. Breaking this kind of restriction would most likely require a great deal of power. The five of them were only Core Formation cultivators. If they suffered a backlash, they would certainly lose their lives immediately. They simply couldn't withstand that kind of power.
"However, it will be a little troublesome to enter."
After pondering for a moment, she said, "I originally planned to borrow their strength to protect myself, but now that you're here …"
"What's wrong? Is there a problem?"
Mo Tiange glanced at the few late Nascent Soul cultivators and middle stage cultivators around her and said, "I don't know if your sword formation can block the dangers inside the passage."
"You don't have to worry too much about this."
Fu Yaozi's voice suddenly rang in her head. "This Senior Martial Brother's natal magic weapon should be a spiritual treasure inherited from the Distant Past era. It's been nourished by his blood essence for a long time, so its power is extraordinary. Furthermore, he practiced Body-Refining Techniques, so passing through the passage shouldn't be a problem."
"But Master, what about me?"
"Heh …" Fu Yaozi chuckled. "Did you forget what Master asked you to buy?
Your meridians are strong, and together with the protective talismans I asked you to prepare, there shouldn't be any problems. "
"Tiange?" Qin Xi called her again when he saw that she didn't answer for a long time.
"It's alright. Master Fu Yaozi told me."
"Oh?"
Qin Xi was actually very curious. He knew there was a powerful divine sense on Fusheng Sword, but he never communicated with it. Sometimes, when he listened to Mo Tiange's narration, he yearned for it even more. He wondered what kind of amazing cultivator the divine sense on the sword belonged to.
An hour later, Ling Yunhe and the others stopped adjusting their breaths. Everyone looked at Jue Wu, but he was still meditating with his eyes closed, concentrating on chanting.
After waiting for a while, he finally breathed a sigh of relief and opened his eyes. He clasped his hands in front of his chest apologetically and said to Mo Tiange, "Benefactor Mo, I'm done."
Mo Tiange nodded then stood up and walked to the center. She then took out several formation discs from her robe and laid them outside the Immortal Palace's gate.
All the Nascent Soul cultivators stared at her movements attentively.
They were all very curious. Even with their cultivation levels, they couldn't see through the restrictions on the Immortal Palace. How could a Core Formation cultivator crack them, even with Fu Yaozi's guidance?
"Whoosh!"
The last formation flag fell, and the formation disc instantly shone with a white light. With a clear sound, a star chart appeared on the ground.
Upon seeing this, Scholar Yu narrowed his eyes.
He was knowledgeable and had dabbled in the Dao of Formations, but he actually couldn't see through the mysteries of the formation she had set up … The Five Sages were indeed the Five Sages. Although he was now a late stage Nascent Soul cultivator and was slightly stronger than the Five Sages from back then, he still couldn't see through the formation the Five Sages had set up.
"Seniors," Mo Tiange said loudly to Yuan Mu and the others, "Our cultivation levels aren't high enough, so we still need you to protect us. If any of us doesn't have enough spiritual aura, please lend us a helping hand."
"Of course," Master Daoist Yuan Mu said, "Little Friend Mo doesn't need to worry about this."
Mo Tiange smiled. This was related to the opening of the Immortal Palace, so she expected they'd all do their best.
She turned around and said to Ling Yunhe and the others, "Fellow Daoists, let's start."
The four of them nodded, stood at the five corners of the formation, and took out their holy objects.
Just like how they used to open the space, the five of them chanted an incantation. With a buzzing sound, the five holy objects each emitted a white light. However, this time, the powerful spiritual aura exploded from the five holy objects and poured into the formation under their feet with the five of them as the mediators!
Mo Tiange frowned, enduring the pain caused by the powerful spiritual aura passing through her meridians.
She had gone through the Five-Spirits Cultivation Technique, so her meridians were strong, so this kind of pain wasn't unbearable. However, the other four weren't so lucky.
Different degrees of pain appeared on their faces, especially Yang Chengji and Jue Wu. Their cultivation levels were the lowest, so they suffered the most.
All the Nascent Soul cultivators stared at the five of them, and Guifang Devil Monarch and Revered Avidya looked even more concerned.
Seeing that the aura from the holy objects was getting weaker and weaker, and their faces were getting paler and paler, Master Daoist Yuan Mu took a step forward and hit Ling Yunhe with his palm.
As soon as he moved, Revered Avidya and the others immediately stepped forward.
Master Daoist Iron Mask from Jiuyan Sect looked at Qin Xi and asked, "Fellow Daoist Qin, do you need me to do it for you?"
The other four all had elders in the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm. Only Mo Tiange and Qin Xi were in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul realm, and they seemed to have just advanced to the middle stage.
Qin Xi shook his head and cupped his hands at him. "Fellow Daoist, I appreciate your kindness." After he finished speaking, he took a step forward and also hit Mo Tiange.
The cultivation technique they practiced was Yin and Yang, so in the process of transferring spiritual aura, they didn't consume much and benefited a lot.
Master Daoist Iron Mask didn't know about this. He only thought Qin Xi was worried, so he didn't insist.
With a Nascent Soul cultivator continuously transferring spiritual aura, the five of them finally looked a lot better.
As time passed, the formation under their feet became brighter and brighter. Eventually, the light from the holy objects slowly faded, and the formation emitted a dazzling light as if it had eaten its fill of spiritual aura. In the light, a dark hole the size of a person appeared.
The cultivators were overjoyed when they saw the entrance.
Mo Tiange breathed a sigh of relief. It was finally done.
"Seniors," she said loudly, "Junior has to remind you that this passage is very dangerous. If you don't have a powerful defensive magic weapon, please be careful when you enter."
"Little Friend Mo, rest assured," Master Daoist Yuanmu said faintly, "You've all become great Nascent Soul cultivators, so you all understand this principle. Fated chances all depend on fate. Even if you die here, you can't blame others."
"Exactly. How could we not understand what Little Friend Mo understands?" Revered Avidya smiled. "Little Friend Mo, you said before … are we going together?" Mo Tiange smiled.
The condition of her previous deal was to tell them how to find fated chances to become immortals. Opening the immortal palace was only the first step.
With their mutual trust, these people wouldn't believe her words and would definitely want her to go with them lest she schemed against them.
"Of course, but …" She glanced at the cultivators around her. There were so many people here. Aside from the three clans who negotiated the conditions, there were also many late stage Nascent Soul cultivators. She couldn't afford to offend them.
In the end, Master Daoist Yuanmu said loudly, "Fellow Daoists, Mister Yu and Fellow Daoist Avidya invited you to explore the secret place together. Now, we've fulfilled our promise. Once we enter this passage, we'll search for fated chances to become immortals based on our own abilities. What do you think?"
"Old Yuanmu, why are you talking so much nonsense?
We old guys have lived for so many years. Don't tell me we don't even understand these principles?
Alright, alright, you've already done your best. Whether we can enter or not, whether we can find it or not, it's all fate. Who would blame you? "Revered Avidya waved his hand impatiently.
He looked like a boorish man, but after living for so long and cultivating to the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm, how could he not see it?
They had holy objects in their hands, so there must be some secrets that they wouldn't share with others.
Miaoying Progenitor said with a smile, "Fellow Daoist Avidya is right. Fellow Daoist Yuanmu, we don't have much time. Let's not waste it."
Master Daoist Yuanmu nodded and said, "If that's the case, I won't be polite. Jiuyan Sect will go first. Does anyone have any objections?"
Jiuyan Sect had holy objects and was the strongest, so the others naturally wouldn't have any objections. The five Nascent Soul cultivators of Jiuyan Sect each used their own methods and released their magic weapons to protect the Cloud-Soaring Crane as they entered the passage first.
After them were the three Nascent Soul cultivators of Yue Mountain Academy and Han Shizhi, followed by Guifang Devil Monarch and Yang Chengji.
Before entering the passage, Revered Avidya turned to Mo Tiange and Qin Xi and put his palms together. "Fellow Daoist Qin, do you two want to go with us?"
After entering this space, there were several early stage Nascent Soul cultivators from Huayan Temple. Right now, none of them were here, so Revered Avidya was the only one who seemed enlightened.
Qin Xi glanced at Mo Tiange. When he saw her nodding, he smiled and said, "Since Master has sincerely invited us, we'll accept it."
