When Wang Daoyuan and others arrived at Baoding Mountain, more than fifty monks from various factions who were in the late Golden Core stage or above had already gathered here.
The demons are cunning and have many tricks.
Everyone did not dare to go deep into the Southern Wilderness easily, so they gathered at Baoding Mountain first.
Wang Daoyuan arrived at the meeting hall of Baoding Mountain. The heads of the four top forces were already here.
In addition, there are several half-step Nascent Soul and peak Golden Core monks, as well as monks from the Zhou family and the Qin family. These are the top leaders of the fight against the demons.
As a peak golden elixir monk, he is naturally qualified to participate in decision-making.
Walking into the main hall, he bowed his hands to everyone and said, "I have met Master, and I have met all the seniors."
Master Lei Yan said with a smile: "Daoyuan is here. You have been in the Southern Wilderness for many years and you should know a lot about the Southern Wilderness. How do you think we should do it?"
"Master, you are really confusing me.
When the disciples traveled to the Southern Wilderness, when they were still in the Zifu period, they only reached the deepest point of the Demon Burial Mountain.
After forming the elixir, the disciple went to Yumo Mountain to look for the spirit of Wutu.
At that time, I was only in the early stage of Jindan cultivation, and I didn't dare to run around.
I really don’t understand the situation deep in the Southern Wilderness.
It would be too dangerous to make a casual decision without knowing the situation."
Master Yun Jian smiled and said: "It is rare for Master Dao Yuan to have such cultivation at such a young age and to be so humble.
Now the demons are entrenched in Yumo Mountain, far away from this place.
We can't go directly to Yumo Mountain from here, we still have to find a place to stay in the Southern Wasteland.
How to choose this place to stay, you still need to be careful, so as not to be taken advantage of by the demons."
Master Xuantian of Tianji Sect and Master Hanshuang of Fengxue Palace both nodded in agreement.
One of them is at the westernmost point of the Beiyuan Immortal Realm, and the other is near the extremely cold ice field, and rarely interacts with the Southern Wilderness.
This time I came here just to cooperate with the Shenbing Pavilion and Taiyi Sword Sect, so I naturally had no objections.
Master Lei Yan nodded: "Junior Brother Yunjian's words make sense, we should indeed find a reliable place to stay near Demon Yu Mountain.
I placed Master Wanshi in Feisheng Valley, more than 20,000 miles northwest of Yumo Mountain, and Master Uncle Mo Yang and others were in Demon Suppression City, more than 10,000 miles due east of Feisheng Valley.
To the north between the two places, there is a Golden Iron Mountain, with a fourth-level high-grade golden spirit vein in the mountain.
The rock formations there are extremely solid, making it difficult for demons to penetrate underground.
Even if the demons attack in large numbers, there will still be resistance from the Demon Suppressing City and Ascension Valley in front.
Let's set up the main camp in Demon City or Jintieshan, and then strengthen the defense on the other side.
The three points help each other, and the demons dare not concentrate their strength to attack one point.
We can easily hold it by relying on the large formation, and we can gain a firm foothold in the northwest of Yumo Mountain.
Once there is any movement over at Yumo Mountain, we can take action at any time."
Wang Daoyuan went deep into the Southern Wilderness and only went to Yumo Mountain. He had never heard of Feisheng Valley.
Master Yun Jian nodded: "Jin Tieshan is indeed good, and Master Mo Yang has no problems in Demon Suppression City.
These two places were both fortresses that the demons could not capture even when they were at their strongest."
Master Xuantian had some questions: "Jintieshan and Demon Suppressing City are naturally not a problem, but Master Wanshi is not a reliable person over there in Ascension Valley.
Back then, he was severely injured by the ancestors of our four major sects and his path was cut off.
If he harbors a grudge and colludes with the demons.
We are not very stable in Jintieshan and Zhenmo City.
Ascension Valley was the place where the lower realm ascended in the past. Later, the demons invaded and reduced the place to ruins.
The passage to the lower realm for ascension was also completely cut off. After the space passage was broken, some small secret realms were formed.
If the demons want to hide there and avoid our detection, it will be extremely easy for them to take action against us in the future."
Wang Daoyuan heard for the first time about a place related to ascension, the big world where Beiyuan is located. If you practice to a certain level, you can ascend to the upper world.
This is just a legend. Beiyuan Immortal Realm does not even have Nascent Soul, so it is impossible to touch that realm.
According to Master Xuantian, this Ascension Valley should be a passage for ascension from a lower-level world of immortal cultivation than this world.
Master Yunhe nodded: "What Taoist Taoist Xuantian said makes sense, why don't we Shenbing Pavilion and Taiyi Sword Sect send experts to Feisheng Valley to investigate first.
To prevent us from being ambushed by the demons when we go there.
The demons don't dare to show their cards yet. Even if they ambush people in the Ascension Valley, they won't be able to send out experts.
In my opinion, just send out the first-class golden elixir masters.
Even if you encounter demons, you can easily escape intact."
Master Xuantian said: "Since I brought this matter up, naturally our Tianji Sect cannot lag behind others.
I asked my brother Qi Tian to go and investigate. Our Tianji Sect is good at seeking good luck and avoiding disaster. Even if we encounter danger, we are sure to escape safely."
Master Yun Jian continued: "Since the Tianji Sect is going to send someone, it would be inappropriate for me, the Taiyi Sword Sect, not to go.
Well, let Wu Jian go there.
He has been patrolling Southern Wilderness since he formed the elixir, and he knows Southern Wilderness very well."
The Fengxue Shrine has never said anything, so there is nothing wrong with not sending anyone there.
But as the Shenbing Pavilion is the main force in resisting the demons, it would be inappropriate if we don't send people to take action.
Before Master Lei Yan and Master Yunhe could speak, Wang Daoyuan volunteered: "Master, this disciple is also willing to go to Ascension Valley to investigate.
You also know some of my disciple's methods, unless the Nascent Soul Demon Clan appears, I won't be able to stay."
He wanted to explore the Ascension Valley, mainly because this place was related to the lower realm.
He has always doubted the connection between this world and the world in his previous life.
The Ascension Valley was once a passage connecting two worlds. It still needs to be confirmed whether the other end is the world in the previous life.
Master Lei Yan nodded and said: "You never make a mistake, but since you are going, you must be very confident.
I won’t stop you, just be careful to save your life.”
The three of them left Baoding Mountain, took a flying warship, and headed to Demon Suppression City.
This has always been a stronghold for the Shenbing Pavilion and the Taiyi Sword Sect to guard the Southern Wasteland, and there are still monks from the two sects taking turns guarding it.
Master Mo Yang and several other golden elixirs attempted to sabotage Master Lei Yan when he broke through Nascent Soul, and were also exiled here.
The whole city is not very big, only two miles square.
The city wall is built with fourth-level high-quality materials, and it is not ordinary fourth-level high-quality materials.
It should be a higher-level material, but due to the lack of spiritual energy, it has degenerated into a fourth-level material.
The entire city wall is engraved with complex patterns of vessels and formations.
When Wang Daoyuan and others came here, the monks from the two sects stationed here naturally welcomed them warmly.
The commotion on the Demon Yu Mountain is getting louder and louder, and they are really afraid that the demons will come and besiege the Demon Suppressing City.
Now that Wang Daoyuan is waiting for the three high-end combat forces to come over, they are naturally relieved.
Master Mo Yang did not come forward. He had a quarrel with Wang Daoyuan's Baoding lineage, so it was inevitable to be embarrassed after meeting.
After the three people appeared publicly here, they did not do anything on the surface.
Naturally they would not be idle in the dark, so the three of them sneaked out of the Demon Suppressing City and headed towards the Ascension Valley due west.
The terrain of Ascension Valley is very strange. It is a circular valley with a circular altar in the valley.
The surrounding peaks are like petals, guarding the valley.
The valley and the surrounding peaks look like a lotus flower.
Unfortunately, most of these peaks were broken and the altar became incomplete.
The three people did not alert the real person Wan Zhi, but hid outside the Ascension Valley.
The real person Wan Zhi is hiding in the Heaven-Deceiving Coffin and can only move around by refining the corpse clone.
Lian Zhi's consciousness was too poor to notice the three of them.
After getting closer, Wang Daoyuan realized why this place was so lonely and anonymous.
There is a lot of death energy and other powers derived from various yin energies here, but the spiritual energy is extremely thin.
Within a thousand miles, even birds and beasts are extremely rare.
People who don't know its origin will never call it Ascension Valley.
