A Record of A Mortal's Journey to Immortality

Chapter 761: Junior Disciple Xiao

In recent days, along a certain stretch of the border between Yu Country and Northern Liang Country, squads of spellmasters and cultivators descended from the sky, riding their magical artifacts and treasures, coming from both sides dozens of miles apart.

They then systematically set up large camps using the existing strongholds.

Overnight, imposing Righteous and Extraordinary Grand Formations appeared one after another in large numbers. This rarely inhabited area became turbulent with rising winds and clouds, and a murderous aura surged.

Small teams of cultivators and spellmasters took to the air, patrolling the perimeter of the camps vigilantly, as if fearing a sudden attack.

As days passed, more cultivators and spellmasters gathered here. Enemy-repelling formations of various sizes were established all along both sides of the border, and the atmosphere grew increasingly tense.

Yet, at the center of the border, when patrolling spellmasters and cultivators encountered each other, despite the cold stares, they managed to restrain themselves from attacking.

After all, starting a fight now wouldn’t serve any purpose, so everyone held their breath, quietly waiting for the life-and-death battle to come.

By the sixth day, the grand formations and formations of Tian Nan and Mulan were mostly in place. Everyone began to come and go with ease, conserving energy and bracing themselves within the camps. Even the patrol teams were greatly reduced for a time. But higher-level immortal cultivators began to appear frequently among the patrols.

The higher-ups among spellmasters and cultivators were also anxiously discussing final battle strategies within the camps.

On the northern side of Tian Nan’s main camp lay the direction of Tian Yi City, so naturally fewer formations were set up towards the spellmasters’ side. However, all necessary sentries and patrol members were present, with even slight adjustments in number.

In this situation, a group of about a dozen cultivators were flying at a leisurely pace more than twenty miles away from the camp.

The lead cultivator was a beautiful woman in her twenties with early foundation formation cultivation base, and behind her were cultivators at the foundation establishment stage.

With a major battle imminent, these people dared not be careless. Although it was only a routine patrol, the group remained extremely alert, frequently glancing around.

Only the lead woman showed a slightly composed expression, but even she expanded her spiritual awareness to the fullest, sensing any nearby abnormalities.

Suddenly, her expression changed. The light speed flight abruptly stopped, and she looked up in surprise towards the distance.

The other cultivators were startled by this and immediately, as if facing a great enemy, looked in the same direction—but saw nothing.

“Senior Disciple Xiao, you...?” a blue-robed cultivator asked suspiciously, but before he could finish, a flash of white light appeared on the distant horizon, followed by a glowing dot shooting swiftly towards them.

“What fast light speed!” one cultivator exclaimed.

In the blink of an eye, the white light spot grew several times larger, and something seemed to be faintly visible within its radiance.

“It must be one of the seniors arriving. But according to protocol, we still need to approach and inquire. You all wait here,” the elegant-faced woman said calmly without hurry.

Then, a yellow light flickered around her, and she directly advanced to meet the white light.

The others stared at each other silently for a moment, no one daring to speak.

They were not from the same sect as the woman and were all of lower cultivation and rank, so naturally they didn’t dare to voice any opinions.

The woman only flew a short distance before stopping her light speed flight.

Because the white light spot had arrived right before her and transformed into a dazzling orb of light.

Inside, a strange vehicle-shaped magical artifact could be vaguely seen, with figures moving within.
