Is this the Divine Test from Our Predecessors?
The Immortal Realm.
In a decent residence.
It was filled with spiritual energy and extremely beautiful.
In a grand hall.
A middle-aged man with an extremely powerful spiritual aura frowned as he looked at another middle-aged man kneeling before him and said, "You still haven't found this Chen Yanming?"
"Reporting to the Immortal Lord, this Chen Yanming seems to have wandered into some mortal realm... ..." The kneeling middle-aged man forced a bitter smile.
Ever since receiving the order from the Sovereign Immortal Emperor, they had been searching all the mortal realms like moths drawn to a flame.
Unexpectedly, after just a short while, the Immortal Emperor told them to stop looking.
They had all ceased their search and returned to the Immortal Realm.
But they hadn't expected that one of their colleagues, perhaps due to a damaged communication talisman, had still not returned.
Moreover, he had not responded to any messages.
Perhaps he was still dazed by the reward promised by the Immortal Emperor and continued searching.
"Forget it, just leave him be..."
The Immortal Lord couldn't be bothered to deal with it anymore and began issuing the next order...
...
The Mortal Realm.
A middle-aged man held a golden jade slip, his brows furrowed tightly.
"This thing must be broken..."
He carelessly tossed the golden jade slip aside and looked at the mortal realm before him.
"This is the hundredth one, I hope I can find her here."
With this thought, a glimmer of excitement flickered in his eyes.
If he truly found the Immortal Emperor's daughter, ah, he would be able to enjoy bliss every day thereafter!
Thinking of this, he felt energized once more.
He began to fly, searching everywhere.
...
Between the Leaning Mountain Sect and the Qingxuan Town, there was a mountain range.
At this moment, this mountain range had already been extensively developed.
Originally, it was quite desolate, but now there were pavilions, towers, and immortal palaces everywhere.
Filled with spiritual energy, it presented a magnificent scene.
Mu Ronggong and the others went to the highest peak of the mountain range.
They gazed at the entire mountain range together.
"From now on, this will be our new sect!"
"Hahaha, I can already envision the future prosperity!"
The group was extremely delighted.
They imagined the grand ambition of becoming a top-tier sect under the guidance of their predecessors.
Mu Ronggong took out a formation compass and said, "Let's begin. Once this formation is activated, we will become one of the focal points of the entire continent!"
Zhang Shaofeng and the others snickered upon hearing this.
Following Hei Zhuan's instructions, Mu Ronggong began activating the formation.
The compass rose into the air and entered the clouds.
At that moment, a humming sound resonated.
In the next instant, a powerful beam of light swiftly descended from the sky like an inverted transparent bowl, enveloping their entire mountain range.
The formation was established!
Mu Ronggong laughed heartily, then waved his hand.
The formation compass in the sky suddenly flew down and landed in his palm.
From then on, he could control this compass to operate the mountain-protecting grand formation.
In the mountain range, the disciples and elders who had already settled in the new sect witnessed this spectacle and cheered.
The entire mountain range was filled with joyous cheers.
This signified that their sect would soon rise to become one of the top-tier powers.
This formation could withstand even the peak of the Great Cultivation Realm, making it virtually unbreakable on this continent!
It was truly a remarkable achievement!
After setting up the formation, Mu Ronggong turned to Hei Zhuan with a smile, "Brother Zhuan, you'll have to uphold the sect's prestige for a while."
In this short period, Mu Ronggong and Hei Zhuan had become very close friends, even considering becoming sworn "unconventional" brothers.
So their way of addressing each other had changed.
One called the other "Brother Gong."
The other called the other "Brother Zhuan."
Hei Zhuan nodded and immediately flew into the sky, transforming from his dog form back to his original form.
After staying in the courtyard overnight and absorbing a large amount of dragon essence, the transformed Hei Zhuan was now twice as large as before.
The two short horns on his head had doubled in length.
His black scales were even darker and more lustrous, reflecting light.
As he appeared, he occupied half of the sky.
The area below was instantly dimmed, as if a cloud had covered the sun.
Roar!
Upon manifesting, he let out a thunderous roar that shook the surroundings, as if declaring his supremacy under the heavens.
Mu Ronggong and the others watched the now more powerful Hei Zhuan soar and circle in the clouds, breathing mists, and couldn't help but take a deep breath.
"Never expected that Brother Zhuan would gain such immense benefits after visiting our predecessor for just a short while! He must have obtained a heavenly opportunity!"
Mu Ronggong's heart was shaken.
The predecessor was truly invincible, granting such profound opportunities that even an extremely powerful demon beast could benefit tremendously!
As soon as the formation was established, all cultivators within a hundred-mile radius of the sect felt the change.
Those who had reached the Yuan Ying realm had excellent eyesight and noticed the rising light screen in the distance, leaving them utterly astonished.
"What is that thing?!"
"Could it be some treasure surfacing?"
"Or is it a secret realm appearing?"
"A secret realm wouldn't be visible from so far away. No, we should go and check it out!"
More and more people noticed the situation in that direction.
Cultivators within a few hundred-mile radius all flew towards that area.
Streams of spiritual light crisscrossed the sky like woven threads.
Some cultivators even used sound-transmitting jade slips to share what they had witnessed with their close friends before leaving.
The news began to spread rapidly.
Mu Ronggong and the others smiled, then began preparing for the sect's establishment.
Invitations would definitely need to be sent out to widely recruit other powers.
This way, their sect's name would spread further, allowing more people to learn about their sect.
They would also be able to recruit more disciples.
Mu Ronggong turned to Mu Rongxue and said, "Xue'er, convey a message to Xiao Qing, asking her to bring the King and the others here in two days. Also, request that the royal family help spread the news about the establishment of our sect."
Mu Rongxue smiled and nodded.
At such a glorious moment for their sect, she also wanted to show off a little.
She quickly went to a corner and began transmitting a message to Luo Lanqing.
Mu Ronggong, Zhang Shaofeng, and the others were also not idle, preparing invitations to widely invite other powers.
Half a day later.
The invitations had been sent out.
At this time, people who had come to investigate after hearing about the formation began gathering outside the mountain-protecting grand formation.
These people approached on spiritual light but stopped in their tracks, stunned.
Everyone stared blankly at the scene before them.
They looked at the awe-inspiring formation that had left them shaken with just a glance.
They looked at the black flood dragon devouring clouds and exhaling mists in the sky within the formation.
All of them turned to stone.
"This! This is what sect? When did such a powerful sect appear here?!"
"Am I seeing things? This mountain-protecting grand formation is so terrifying! And that black flood dragon in the sky, it's at the Great Cultivation Realm! What kind of immortal sect is this? I've never heard of it!"
"I think there's something wrong with my eyes. Even in the Central Province, there shouldn't be such a powerful sect! A Great Cultivation Realm flood dragon as the mountain guardian, unheard of and unseen!"
The crowd stared at the spectacle before them, utterly dumbfounded and their hair standing on end.
As they looked towards the sect's entrance, three words came into view:
Peace Sect!
The people who had come were left stupefied by the scene before them.
When they finally regained their senses, those who had sound-transmitting jade slips immediately took them out and began transmitting messages to their friends who were still far away.
Within a short moment, the astonishing events they had witnessed began spreading at an alarming speed.
Near Qingxuan Town.
Atop a mountain peak.
Long Aotian stood at the edge, staring intently in one direction, his heart greatly agitated.
As he gazed that way, his keen vision seemed to pierce through space, allowing him to see the situation over there with a single glance.
Even now, he still couldn't process what he was seeing.
A peak Great Cultivation Realm grand formation!
A Great Cultivation Realm flood dragon as the mountain guardian!
"It seems our predecessor felt the Leaning Mountain Sect had suffered because of him, so he granted them some opportunities!"
After thinking this, he suddenly felt something was amiss.
It seemed the opportunities granted were too excessive.
"Or perhaps, the reason the Leaning Mountain Sect was treated so badly by the Thousand Feather Empire was all under our predecessor's control?"
"No, it can't be that simple. With our predecessor's immense wisdom, there must be another purpose. Let me think..."
After pondering for a while, Long Aotian's eyes suddenly widened in astonishment.
"Could this be a divine test to evaluate three parties at once, killing three birds with one stone?!"
