Chapter 141 The Holy Path Palace, with the ruins of an ancient holy land as its mountain gate!?
Chapter 141 The Holy Path Palace, with the ruins of an ancient holy land as its mountain gate!?
Moreover, Lotus Tower is so powerful, and it even has a sage in charge. Even if it wanted to establish a holy land, it wouldn't be his turn!
"Look, I'm in a hurry!"
Li Piaomiao spread his hands and said, "If it were really that easy, I wouldn't have sent you!"
"Let me explain in detail."
After a long while, Gu Jiancheng finally understood.
It turns out that although the Lotus Tower has a sage in charge and is quite mysterious, it is not considered a powerful force.
Because there are only eighteen people in total, including all the cultivators in the Lotus Pavilion.
Moreover, there are seven of them who are the original posters.
Clearly, this is not enough to establish a holy site.
Moreover, Lotus Tower is currently in an awkward position. If it were to directly establish a holy land, it would inevitably be targeted by the three holy lands.
That's why they wanted Gu Jiancheng to do it.
"But Master, a sacred site can't be built just like that, can it? Even your Lotus Pavilion is afraid of being targeted, so why shouldn't I be?"
But Gu Jiancheng still frowned and asked.
That still can't be done.
"Haha, I was just teasing you. I didn't mean I had to make you establish a holy land right away. We'll take it one step at a time!"
Li Piaomiao smiled slyly and continued, "You can take your time. Let's start with the sects of the Holy Domain!"
"Sacred Domain Sects? There are sects here?"
Gu Jiancheng raised an eyebrow upon hearing this.
He had thought that the Holy Domain only had three major holy lands.
"No, no! The Holy Domain is extremely vast, its area is even a hundred times larger than that of the Desolate Heaven!"
"Even a Saint Realm expert would need... a month to traverse the chasm with their physical body!"
Li Piaomiao smiled, glanced at the extremely astonished Gu Jiancheng, and continued, "Therefore, below the Holy Land, there are sects, which are divided into four levels, with the strongest sect being the Super Sect!"
"As well as first-rate sects, second-rate sects, and insignificant minor sects."
"Now, you can start by establishing a small, insignificant sect and develop it slowly!"
"What? Build a third-rate sect?" Gu Jiancheng raised an eyebrow upon hearing this and continued, "Master, I have a feeling you're setting me up."
"Don't you know that the Guixu Ancient Battlefield will open in a month? I won't be qualified if I don't enter the Holy Land!"
Starting from a small sect, when can we rival the holy lands and gain the qualification to enter the ancient battlefield?
That ancient battlefield was of utmost importance; Jiang Hongyi had specifically sent a jade slip to remind him of it, so he absolutely could not miss it.
"Heh, the news is a bit outdated, isn't it?"
But Li Piaomiao shook his head and laughed, "You're not even in the Holy Domain, how much information could you possibly know?"
"To tell you the truth, that was indeed what the three holy lands originally thought. They wanted to monopolize the entry slots for the Ancient Battlefield of Return to the Ruins with the Demon Realm."
"But the truth can't be hidden forever, and the news still spread. Other sects naturally couldn't accept this, so the three holy lands and the Demon Realm, under the pressure of the Supreme Holy Dao Palace, relaxed their entry requirements."
"As long as you are a disciple of a second-rate sect or above, you can also obtain the qualification to enter the ancient battlefield. Although you can't directly land in the central area of the ancient battlefield like the inner disciples of the Holy Land, it's not much different."
"Oh!? There's been such a change..." Gu Jiancheng's expression softened considerably upon hearing this.
However, as a result, a month later, there will likely be an extremely large number of people able to enter the Guixu Ancient Battlefield!
It's such a mess!
"However, what is the Supreme Holy Dao Palace that Master mentioned earlier?" Gu Jiancheng asked again.
Li Piaomiao seemed to have mentioned the Supreme Holy Path Palace before on the guiding platform.
That seems to be an even more powerful entity than the three holy lands.
"Hehe, people outside the Holy Domain all revere the Holy Land, but that's not the case. They just don't understand the Holy Domain!"
Li Piaomiao said leisurely, "Above the three holy lands, there is also the Supreme Holy Dao Palace. The Dao Palace was established by the descendants of the ancient human race and has survived to this day. Although the Supreme Holy Dao Palace will not descend to the Holy Domain, it can directly govern all the saints in the Holy Domain."
"Because, if a sage wants to advance to the Saint King realm or even the Immortal Ascension realm, he must go to the Supreme Saint Dao Palace!"
"Therefore, they cannot refuse the orders of the Holy Dao Palace!"
"Oh? There's such a place?" Gu Jiancheng's expression changed slightly upon hearing this. To surpass the Saint Realm, one needs to go to the Supreme Saint Dao Palace?
"That's right, because the Supreme Saint Palace possesses the Saint King Qi necessary for breaking through to the Saint King Realm!"
Li Piaomiao nodded and continued, "And it is said that the Holy King Qi of the Supreme Holy Dao Palace is formed from the faith power of the people of the Holy Domain and the immortal artifacts of the Supreme Holy Dao Palace, making it irreplaceable!"
"Forget it, you're only at the Heavenly Observation Realm, there's no point in talking to you about this."
"Now all you need to do is establish a sect and then develop it."
“But Master, this still sounds ridiculous. I’m building my own sect and doing everything myself. What about all of us?”
"What about the mountain gate? And what about the Hundred Refinement Tower? Am I just going to give up on it like this?"
But Gu Jiancheng still shook his head and said.
He sacrificed too much by not entering the holy land.
"You brat, you really won't do anything without a reason."
Do you think your teacher would ever let you suffer a loss?
Li Piaomiao cursed, "That Hundred Refinement Tower is a sacred artifact of the Dingtian Holy Land. The sixty-seventh to the final ninety-ninth floor is the main body of the sacred artifact. Although there are many treasures and rewards inside, everything about you will be completely exposed to the Dingtian Holy Land!"
"Are you really willing to be spied on by them, or do you still not understand what kind of thing the Dingtian Holy Land is?"
"Besides, it's just that the Hundred Refinement Tower is gone; there are other alternatives!"
"Oh? There's a substitute? Where is it?" Gu Jiancheng asked immediately upon hearing this.
The Tower of Hundred Refinements was quite tempting to Gu Jiancheng; after all, the treasures inside had helped him a lot.
"What's the rush? You'll find out soon enough. Didn't you just ask about the mountain gate? It's right there inside that mountain gate!" Li Piaomiao said with a smile.
"Oh, so Master has already prepared everything?" Gu Jiancheng's eyes lit up.
"That's inevitable!"
"In short, although it's just to let you start developing in a small sect, it's only to keep a low profile. After all, you've offended quite a few people. Unlike Dongtian and Huangzhou, if you continue to be so sharp and aggressive, you won't be able to handle it." Li Piaomiao nodded.
“Since we’re going to keep a low profile, Master shouldn’t have revealed his strength just now,” Gu Jiancheng said hastily, as if he had suddenly thought of something.
Otherwise, what would be the point of him secretly establishing his own sect?
"Haha, don't worry, how could Master not have made arrangements? I am invincible among those of the same realm, but although they can't do anything to me, I can't do anything to them either. In short, you don't need to worry about anything else."
But Li Piaomiao smiled mysteriously, as if she had a plan in mind.
At the same time, on the receiving platform of the Desolate Cave Heaven, the Dao Integration Realm experts from the three holy lands and the Demon Realm were still discussing how to report the matter when they discovered that another figure was descending from the void.
The figure was slender and almost demonic, dressed in a dark red robe, with a faint halo of holy light on her back.
Holy light coalesced, transforming into an extremely alluring scarlet flower.
"and who are you!?"
The four men's expressions changed drastically the moment they saw the woman!
What's going on today? Why are there so many demigods descending upon us?
"Lotus Pavilion, a dream of fleeting life; having seen the other shore flower, then let us forget it!"
But the woman suddenly raised her eyes, and beneath her red robe, a pair of scarlet eyes suddenly shone with a captivating and eerie light.
The light was mysterious and profound. The next moment, the four top-level Dao Integration Realm experts stood there like puppets, stunned.
Immediately, the woman stepped into the void and vanished from the space.
The whole process took no more than three breaths.
When Liu Bai arrived at the reception platform with a puzzled look on his face, Gu Jiancheng and the others had already disappeared.
Even the four cultivators on the reception platform knew nothing when asked, all saying they had never seen anyone come up.
"That's strange. Could they really just disappear into thin air?"
Liu Bai was extremely puzzled and couldn't figure it out no matter how hard he tried.
Thus, all his subsequent plans were ruined!
A day later, Gu Jiancheng and the others, after several rounds of teleportation with their master Li Piaomiao, finally arrived at a mountain peak that did not look particularly remarkable.
Standing atop the mountain peak, looking down into the distance, they could see a giant city nestled among the mountains.
Although they did not know exactly where this place was located in the Holy Domain, the city looked even more magnificent than the Desolate Sky City within the Cave Heaven!
"Don't be surprised. Yun Chuan City is insignificant in this Holy Domain. There are countless cities of this size."
But Li Piaomiao laughed.
"Countless!?"
Upon hearing this, everyone gasped in astonishment.
Just how vast is this sacred realm?!
"But Master, are you sure this is the mountain gate you told me about before?"
But Gu Jiancheng pointed to the mountain and asked.
Today, traces of architecture can indeed be seen in the forests of these mountains, but they are only broken walls and ruins, clearly a desolate wasteland.
If this were the mountain gate, Gu Jiancheng would go crazy.
"Hehe, you didn't know that, did you?"
But Li Piaomiao smiled mysteriously.
"Uncle-Master, you've finally arrived."
At that moment, a woman in white suddenly appeared from the forest and gracefully approached.
Behind her was still that charming maid holding a lotus lantern.
Lotus Pavilion Saintess?
Gu Jiancheng was taken aback; his divine sense had been completely unaware of it before.
Immediately, he activated his Insightful Eyes, only to be astonished to discover that the Lotus Pavilion Saintess's cultivation had already reached the late stage of the Dao Integration Realm!
What kind of talent is this?!
Could it be that what he saw on the Qinhuai River before was just an avatar of the Holy Maiden of the Lotus Pavilion?
Because at that time, the saintess was only at the late stage of the Heavenly Observation Realm.
Even a saintess wouldn't be able to cultivate so quickly.
"Um, is Senior Ling still here?" Li Piaomiao asked.
"Reporting to the Seventh Master, Senior Ling is still here, but he's clamoring for wine. He says... he's tired of your wine..." the saintess, veiled in white satin, smiled.
"Uh, even my wine won't do? That's really troublesome!" A hint of embarrassment flashed across Li Piaomiao's face.
"Alright, I'll take Jian Cheng there first, you go ahead with your work!"
"Yes!" The Holy Maiden of Lotus Pavilion bowed slightly, and then, amidst the puzzled gazes of the crowd, she and her maid transformed into a wisp of fragrant breeze and vanished without a trace.
"Master, what exactly is this?"
Gu Jiancheng then hurriedly spoke up, "They actually summoned the Holy Maiden of Lotus Pavilion, so is there really something mysterious about this place?"
"Hehe, disciple, do you know that the holy lands are all blessed spaces? Coincidentally, the mountain gate that your master chose for you is also a blessed land. Although it can only be considered a fragment of a blessed land, it is still incomparable to any sect."
"The mountain in front of you was once the ruins of an ancient sacred site!"
Li Piaomiao smiled as she leaned on the arm.
Ancient sacred site ruins, fragments of a blessed land?!
Gu Jiancheng was stunned by what he heard.
No wonder he couldn't find anything amiss here even with his Insightful Eyes. It turns out this place is the ruins of an ancient holy site!
His cultivation level is currently insufficient, so naturally he cannot see it.
Moreover, the fact that it can be hidden so perfectly suggests the profound mystery of this ancient holy land, which even a Saint King realm cultivator might not be able to discover!
“However, the senior guarding this sacred place is difficult to deal with. He is addicted to wine, and if we don’t have good wine that he likes, we may not be able to take over this mountain gate.” Li Piaomiao frowned.
"If you truly need good wine, perhaps this disciple has a way!"
But Gu Jiancheng suddenly spoke, which startled Li Piaomiao.
