Chapter 1297 - 559: Supreme Elder Council
"As expected of the famous Linglong Heart of the East Sea, each of these five markets has its own regulations."
Li Yunjing looked at Liao Wanqing approvingly and explained, "This market is exclusively for Inner Sect Disciples and a few True Inheritors, as well as Foundation Establishment Realm disciples. If you want to purchase better items, you need to go to the market below ’Shenxiao Peak’."
"Each market has its own requirements, determining what realm can buy what items."
Li Yunjing finally explained, "Due to the complex personnel at the four peripheral markets, not all are from the Sect, so restrictions were set up independently!"
"Look!"
As he spoke, Li Yunjing reached out his hand, mana surged, and the air before him began to vibrate. Runes appeared and pressed against his palm.
In the next instant, Li Yunjing revealed his ’Thunder Dragon Token,’ and the restriction, seemingly able to discern Li Yunjing’s identity, disappeared again.
Wen Bin leaned in closely to observe, and upon seeing the runes flowing on the light shield, which were the same source as the restriction of ’East Splendor Tower,’ he couldn’t help but be amazed: "Such grandeur, just the maintenance cost of the restriction alone is unimaginable!"
The wealth of ’Shenxiao Dao Sect’ shocked Wen Bin and Liao Wanqing!
’Feiyun Sect’ and ’Holy Sound Sect’ also have the ability to set up restrictions of this level, but the two great sects can only arrange them in the sect’s center; most parts of ’Feiyun Island’ and ’Holy Sound Island’ cannot be arranged!
Because the resource consumption is too great.
It’s almost an astronomical number!
’Shenxiao Dao Sect’ even placed high-level restrictions on these insignificant markets, doesn’t that mean almost every part of the ’Shenxiao Mountain Range’ has restrictions?
In reality, their guess was not far off, as the ’Shenxiao Mountain Range’ extending eight thousand miles is almost entirely covered with restrictions, along with an overarching Sect Protection Array.
Once activated, the entire ’Shenxiao Mountain Range’ would form a unified whole, unleashing destructive power.
The foundation built over tens of thousands of years by ’Shenxiao Dao Sect’ is truly unmatched by ’Feiyun Sect’ and ’Holy Sound Sect.’
Almost every year, Array Dao Grandmasters from ’Seven Star Palace’ spare no effort in reinforcing the array, inscribing more rune restrictions to ensure the eternal strength of ’Shenxiao Dao Sect.’
Li Yunjing explained along the way as the three departed from ’Rising Sun Peak’ and arrived at ’Brocade Peak.’
Li Yunjing did not take them to tour the ’Scripture Pavilion,’ where significant secrets are kept and are inaccessible to outsiders.
Li Yunjing led Wen Bin and Liao Wanqing to the rear mountains to visit the ’Ten Thousand Technique Stele Forest.’
"This is a treasure land where predecessors of the sect have enlightened themselves. With the Sect Leader Venerable’s permission, I’m bringing you here for a look; whether you can learn anything depends on your own fortune."
Li Yunjing pointed to the Stele Forest ahead, smiling at the two.
"Oh?"
Wen Bin’s heart was stirred, his face beaming, "Good! I’ll give it a try!"
"I’ll try too!"
Upon hearing there were benefits, Liao Wanqing did not hesitate.
Cultivators often brighten up at the prospect of benefits; when presented, how could they refuse?
With Li Yunjing’s smile, Wen Bin and Liao Wanqing stepped into the Stele Forest, releasing their aura.
"Boom!"
The stone steles inscribed with ancient scriptures resonated automatically, and virtual shadows appeared in the air, showing scenes from the cultivation of past masters of the ’Shenxiao Dao Sect.’
Liao Wanqing was engrossed, reaching out to touch them, only to see the shadows transform into starry lights disappearing into her palm, suddenly leaving a fragment of a sword technique in her mind.
"This is a Sacred Land for cultivation open to outsiders by the sect. If you have the fortune, you can achieve enlightenment."
Li Yunjing pointed at the mist-shrouded ’Peak of the Heavens’ in the distance, "However, that peak can only be accessed by core disciples and elders; at the summit lies the ’Mirror of Truth,’ which connects to the Heavenly Dao."
Hearing Li Yunjing’s explanation, Wen Bin and Liao Wanqing nodded, fully immersed in the cultivation scenes.
An hour later, the virtual shadows above the Stele Forest gradually faded, and Wen Bin and Liao Wanqing slowly opened their eyes, with their aura clearly becoming more refined.
Wen Bin raised his hand, releasing a streak of cyan sword qi, and the air emitted a sharp tearing sound; the power of this strike increased by more than one-tenth compared to before; Liao Wanqing lightly pointed with her fingertip, causing water elements to condense into a crystal-clear ice lotus in her palm, a living likeness.
It was evident that both gained insights into swordsmanship and Ice Divine Techniques from the images.
"Brother Li!"
Wen Bin excitedly stepped forward and grasped Li Yunjing’s arm, "From this trip into the Stele Forest, I unexpectedly comprehended the final three realms of the ’Azure Cloud Sword Technique,’ this is simply a tremendous opportunity!"
His eyes shone with excitement, imagining the exhilaration of deploying fiercer sword techniques in future battles.
Being a sword cultivator, he received benefits from the esteemed sword masters of the ’Shenxiao Dao Sect,’ saving him a century’s time!
With this fortune, Wen Bin earned a hundred years’ worth of cultivation time.
"I learned a bit of mana operation method from an ice cultivator."
Liao Wanqing also hurried over, her cheeks flushed, showing the lingering ice lotus in her hand to Li Yunjing: "It perfectly aligns with my own Water Technique, and upon trying to integrate it just now, it surprisingly allowed me to touch upon the threshold of the Minor Accomplishment Realm. Brother Li, I’ve noted down this kindness!"
Her eyes were full of gratitude, knowing that such a precious opportunity is difficult to find even with immense wealth in the East Sea.
Li Yunjing allowing them to comprehend these principles at the place of enlightenment of the sect’s predecessors was an undoubtedly generous gesture.
