Chapter 48 – I have a spell that I have been practicing for two and a half years
"This is the residence of the Five Aggregates Sect, don't wander off."
Wei Shan glanced around with a cold snort, prompting many to gasp and bow, retracting their presumptuous gazes.
"Master Wei is formidable." Chen Xun praised inwardly, thinking it's always good to have powerful backing.
Wei Shan didn't say much; he was waiting for the ten great immortal sects, as the key to the secret realm of Nandou Mountain was in their hands.
The sky above was filled with thunderous roars as massive Flying Boats and giant birds tore through the air, their suffocating presence continuously emanating.
Shadows swept across the ground one after another, as if showing off their might or declaring sovereignty.
Flags of various sects fluttered brilliantly, with countless figures standing atop, their eyes coldly overlooking the earth and the disciples of all sects.
At this moment, Wei Shan's expression was calm, undisturbed, but his heart was not at ease. The ten great immortal sects were like ten massive mountains, weighing heavily on all cultivators in the Kingdom Qian.
Chen Xun and Black Bull couldn't help but shake their heads in amazement; the spectacle was far more extravagant than anything they'd seen in Nine Stars Valley, and all they could say was "impressive."
"Wow!" Chen Xun pointed towards the distant sky. "Bull, take a look."
Several huge boats docked in the air, from which countless purple-clad women soared into the sky, stepping on lotus leaf magical artifacts as they descended through the air.
They moved gracefully, like dancing in the sky, creating waves of purple, and Chen Xun felt as if he could smell a fragrant scent.
The gaze of disciples from various sects was irresistibly drawn to them, staring dazedly into the distance at the fairy-like women of the Noble Sect.
To have one as a Dao companion would be a delight even in the afterlife.
"Moo!" Black Bull nudged Chen Xun, unimpressed.
"Bull, do you think if a man joined the Noble Sect, he'd also wear purple and step on lotus leaves, and say during a duel..."
Chen Xun mimicked in a mocking tone, patting Black Bull and speaking in a falsetto, "You hit me~ You're so annoying~~"
"Hahaha…"
"Moo moo moo~~"@@novelbin@@
Chen Xun and Black Bull rolled on the ground with laughter, with Chen Xun occasionally imitating again, causing Black Bull to almost cramp from laughing.
"Hey, Junior Brother Chen, is that you?!"
Ji Kun was startled to see a man and a bull rubbing against the ground. "Junior Brother Chen, how did you get here?"
"Senior Brother Ji, hahaha…"
Chen Xun was laughing so hard he was nearly in tears. "Come here, I've got a hilarious story for you."
"Oh?" Ji Kun was intrigued and quickly moved closer.
After a while, Chen Xun started mimicking again, full of emotion.
"Hahaha…"
Ji Kun shook his head and laughed, saying, "Junior Brother Chen, even in the face of life and death, you still find joy. I can't tell if you're just thick-skinned or always this optimistic."
"Bull and I came to look around and find opportunities. I think what you said before was right, Senior Brother Ji."
Chen Xun stood up and said earnestly, "Don't worry, Senior Brother Ji, Bull and I won't hold you back."
"Junior Brother Chen, what are you thinking?"
Ji Kun looked displeased, placing a hand on Chen Xun's shoulder, "If we can't win, we run. Life is the most important."
"Thank you for your concern, Senior Brother Ji. Bull and I won't force a confrontation," Chen Xun said with a smile.
"The teleportation is quite random, at most three people in a group. That day, I didn't know you..."
"Don't worry about us, Senior Brother Ji. I know you have your group, so I didn't want to bother you."
Chen Xun smiled. His and Black Bull's strength and popularity weren't outstanding, so no one had invited them.
Ji Kun's expression darkened; he wanted to keep Chen Xun and Black Bull close, to help them if needed.
"Senior Brother Ji, don't overthink it. Just go with confidence; we have our tricks," Chen Xun reassured, patting the hand on his shoulder.
"In these three years, I've also practiced a spell for two and a half years, but..."
"If you consider me, Chen Xun, a friend, then go with peace of mind. Bull and I will definitely come out alive," Chen Xun said solemnly, deeply moved.
"Ah!"
Ji Kun's eyes still held regret as he forcefully removed his hand and turned to leave without another word.
"Moo~" Black Bull looked at his retreating figure, then at Chen Xun.
"It's okay, Senior Brother Ji is just too worried about our strength," Chen Xun said with a smile, also looking towards Ji Kun's back.
"Moo~"
Black Bull nodded, thinking to himself: They're actually very strong, really strong, Senior Brother Ji doesn't need to worry about them.
Suddenly, roars echoed in all directions as a giant python tore through the sky, carrying thousands of disciples from the Beast Taming Sect, dressed in grey robes embroidered with unknown spiritual beasts.
Many disciples on the python wore bloodthirsty smiles, accompanied by variously shaped spiritual beasts, and some were even entwined with spiders and small snakes.
"One of the ten great immortal sects, the Beast Taming Sect has arrived. These spiritual beasts are truly powerful."
"Every twenty years in the secret realm of Nandou Mountain, the Beast Taming Sect suffers the least losses and gains the most."
"Low-level cultivators can't win a duel against the disciples of the Beast Taming Sect!"
...
A buzz of envious chatter rose among the disciples of various sects. It's not easy to raise a spiritual beast, but once raised, it's a great asset.
Yet, Chen Xun's Black Bull was an exception; these disciples had never seen a master and spiritual beast with such a disparity in cultivation.
"Bull, if these spiritual beasts were to face off, what are your odds?" Chen Xun squatted on the ground, tossing pebbles.

"Moo!!" Black Bull let out a roar and drew a ten on the ground.
"Awesome!" Chen Xun slapped Black Bull, saying, "I've always known you were capable."
Black Bull raised his head proudly.
A day later.
The people from the ten great immortal sects arrived one after another, exchanging pleasantries at their respective residences, completely disregarding the other major sects.
Wei Shan seemed unable to hold back any longer, his expression extremely grim. But as one must bow under the eaves, he could only hope his disciples would make him proud.
At the highest open space, a series of loud bangs rang out as colorful spiritual lights shot into the sky, gradually forming a pillar of light, with spiritual pressure emanating from it.
"Don't worry, the ten great immortal sects are breaking the restrictions of Nandou Mountain and opening the teleportation array," Wei Shan explained to his disciples, who looked pained.
"Yes, Master!" They all bowed, not wanting to embarrass themselves in front of Wei Shan.
Boom, boom, boom...
...
Huge seven-star arrays appeared at the residences of the major sects, with leaders inserting ancient tokens into slots.
"Hurry, the teleportation array will only last half a day," Wei Shan shouted, pouring mana into it. The Five Aggregates Sect's token could teleport a maximum of seven hundred people.
"Yes, Master!"
"Yes, Master!"
...
They teleported in groups of three, vanishing in the blink of an eye with their prearranged teams.
Chen Xun and Black Bull stood alone on the outskirts, slowly moving forward and stepping into the teleportation array only after everyone else had left.
The seven-star array lost its light and disappeared, with Wei Shan standing with his hands behind his back, gazing towards Nandou Mountain.
As the sun set and dusk fell, the interior of Nandou Mountain was peaceful and quiet, devoid of even the roar of wild beasts. It was silent, as if dead.
The air was filled with miasma, and poisonous insects and plants were everywhere. If one wasn't careful and the miasma entered their body, it could be life-threatening.
Tens of thousands of people teleported inside, disappearing like a drop in the ocean, unable to find their fellow sect members, with no response from their sect tokens, presumably separated by great distances.
Atop an ancient tree, a man and a bull stealthily observed their surroundings, with Black Bull firmly remembering Chen Xun's words: When out and about, safety comes first.
What do you think?
