Deep in Taohua Ridge, in the Bear King Valley.

The four bear kings knelt on the altars, left and right, and the offerings such as pigs and cows on the altars had long been removed, and it was Jin Zhenren who replaced them.

He was deprived of his limbs and placed them flat on the altar. Now he is already withered and has no trace of anger.

He painted complex runes with blood-red and blood-red colors, which were shining regularly in sequence. It was painted by the Bear Demon King, the head of the four major bear kings, with his own essence and blood. It was the secret technique of the Hei Bear Clan.

Every time the runes shine for a period of time, Jin Zhenren's body became more shriveled. After several days of refining, he was not even as good as a mummy, and even the bones in his body were melting.

A thin dark red line that seemed to be present and as nothing gathered from the runes, and was sucked into the feet of the Black Wind God statue through the altar and the magic circles on the ground.

Then a black line shot out from the eyebrows of the Black Wind God statue and then fed back to the Bear Demon King sitting at the front.

His face, which was originally pale because of his consumption of a lot of essence and blood, gradually regained its blood color and became more rosy.

Finally, Jin Zhenren's body completely disappeared, leaving only a tattered Taoist robe and a yellowish-brown stain.

The four bear kings still kept kneeling, changing the magic formula in their hands, muttering words in their mouths, as if they were doing some prayer ceremony.

Several feet behind them, a black air faintly appeared between the cracks in the rock wall.

Three-tailed Demon Fox: "Aunt, I feel something is wrong..."

"Shut up, be careful that they notice..." Hu Mengying stopped him, "She was right, it was indeed strange here. Let's go back and report it to her."

The black mist slowly flowed out from the cracks of the rocks like liquid. It flowed farther away and turned into a breeze and gradually dissipated.

The powerful bear king suddenly opened his eyes and said in a deep voice: "Brother, have you just let them go?"

"Hmph!" The Bear Demon King snorted coldly, "Only by putting some bait out, you can catch more fish. Small fish and shrimp like the Five Elements Taoist Man are far from enough."

The third black-faced bear king complained: "It's fine to let others go, that woman is a fox demon, and she is even charming and charming. I can hardly control Lao Hei. It's better to catch it for a few days and then sacrifice it to the Black Wind God. How good would it be?"

The fourth mountain-devouring bear king immediately retorted: "If you have anything to play with, why not eat your brain first and then eat..."

The Bear Demon King scolded: "You two are shut up. It's important to do serious things. How can you think about those times now?"

...

Lieyangzi has a special flying sword that can turn into a flying boat about a meter long, carrying two or three people at full speed. With her, Zhang Yuner and her daughter, it will save more time.

Xu Ran asked the coachman to pull Lao Wang back, and he and Yan Chixia followed him on the side with him on the sword.

In less than two days, they arrived at the foot of Mount Hua.

"If you enter the territory of Huashan, the disciples of the Sword Sect should not fly at will with their swords. This is respect for the sect."

Lieyangzi collected the flying boat and stepped onto the steps first. Zhang Yuner supported her mother and followed her, and Xu Ran and Yan Chixia walked at the end.

Looking around, the mountains ahead are undulating and ridges. The main peak of Mount Hua is towering, with clouds and mists on it, so you can't see the appearance of the top of the mountain clearly.

Xu Ran thought, this mountain is probably comparable to the Himalayas in his previous life, right?

...

At first, the road to the mountain was still very open, and the higher it went, the more rugged and narrow it became. The road surface changed from flat stone slabs to stones of different sizes, and some places even natural rocks.

Old Mrs. Zhang's physical strength was not enough to climb such a mountain road. Fortunately, Lie Yangzi used magic to support her so that she could keep up with everyone's footsteps without having to work hard.

After walking up from the bottom of the mountain for about three or four miles, an open land appeared, with a large-scale Taoist temple with great incense.

Most of the pedestrians I met on the road came to the Taoist temple to incense and pray for blessings.

Xu Ran went to the Taoist temple to take a look, but unfortunately, the system did not prompt to generate a copy, and only captured a few young Taoist priests from the lower three realms.

They were specially arranged by the Sword Sect to deal with evil incidents among the people around Huashan.

In the Taoist temple, except for the main hall worshiping the Three Qingshu and the founding ancestor of Huashan Sword Sect, Xu Ran actually did not recognize any of the Taoist gods worshipped in the side hall. Obviously, there is a difference between the gods in this life and the myths in the previous life.

Through Yan Chixia's introduction, he realized that they were all famous figures in the Sword Sect throughout the ages. They all created the great powers of the ninth level, broke through the peak of the ninth realm, became the queen of the scattered immortals, and ascended to the Golden Immortal Realm.

After leaving the temple, the forests in the mountains became denser and more birds and beasts gradually became more and more, and the mountain road became narrower and narrower.

Except for occasionally meeting hunters or woodcutters, you rarely see pedestrians other than disciples of the Sword Sect again.

Xu Ran asked Yan Chixia in a low voice: "If the main peak of Mount Hua is towering into the clouds and flying is not allowed, if you keep going like this, even if you have the cultivation level, it will probably take one or two days to go to the mountain?"

Yan Chixia smiled and said, "Of course I won't use this method. If you walk a few miles forward, Brother Xu will know."

Sure enough, after walking three or four miles further, a magnificent building appeared in the dense forests of the mountains. Before people could approach, the system had already given a prompt.

[System: Discover the Qianshan Inn by Huashan Jianzong, generate a copy of "Qianshan Inn". Do you want to view it?]

Finally here!

Any copy must be in a relatively limited space where there are many extraordinary people.

Xu Ran did not choose to check it out, but followed Yan Chixia into the courtyard with Lieyangzi. A young Taoist priest had already come up to him. It was obvious that Lieyangzi had a very high status in the Sword Sect.

The two young Taoist priests bowed and said, "Welcome to Lieyangzi, Master Lieyangzi, is Master Lie to return to the sect?"

Lie Yangzi nodded and led everyone to the gate of the main room. The two Taoist priests quickly walked over and opened the door first.

Behind the gate are seven steps. At the end of the steps, the air is wafting. Xu Ran's perception looks similar to the entry interface of a game copy.

In order to confirm his guess, Xu Ran asked in a low voice: "Brother Yan, what is this?"

Yan Chixia said proudly: "The teleportation array leading to the top of the mountain was built by a master who was skilled in formation back then. To master this kind of spatial attribute magical power, it is said that at least we must reach the level of a scattered immortal. We may have no hope in this life."

Xu Ran stared at the misty interface in a concentrated manner, and soon the system issued a prompt:

[The host level is insufficient and it is impossible to generate a copy across space through the teleportation interface. Please upgrade as soon as possible.]

"Give two tokens to the distinguished guest," Lie Yangzi ordered the Taoist priest and looked at Xu Ran again, "The cultivation level of the peak of the lower three realms should be sufficient to cope with this distance teleportation array."

Xu Ran quickly asked, "Senior, does the teleportation array consume mental power? Are there any things to pay attention to?"

Lie Yangzi said: "The teleportation array will consume mental power. The longer the teleportation distance, the greater the consumption. If the mental power is insufficient, you must use the special teleportation token. Otherwise, the lesser the soul will be damaged, and the worse it will be disabled or dead. You just need to concentrate and don't think too much and be fine."

Seeing Xu Ran nodding, she took the lead in climbing the steps. Zhang Yuner held her mother's hand, each holding a token, and following behind.

Yan Chixia made a gesture of invitation and followed Xu Ran to the stairs.

Just as he felt a flash in front of him, Xu Ran appeared in an open square. His energy was far from comparable to his cultivation level on the surface, and he did not experience obvious discomfort.

Looking up, the sky is high above the sky and the clouds are faint, and the big clouds are floating below the square, blocking the world below the mountain.

At the end of the square are dense Chinese classical buildings, carved railings and jade bricks, stacked pavilions, flying pavilions and flowing elixirs, flying eaves and reverses...

These words that can describe the majestic and beautiful ancient architecture flashed through Xu Ran's mind in an instant, and he was a little confused for a moment.

"This is where the gods live..."

Old Mrs. Zhang's voice trembled, and she felt weak under her knees and was about to kneel down to worship. She was pulled by Zhang Yuner. She said excitedly: "Mom, let's live here from now on. There are masters and senior brothers here, which is our new home."
