Chapter 418  : Chapter 227: Soul-searching Secret

Technique, Rebuilding the Mysterious Pill_3

Therefore, before Yuan Shun appeared, Han Yi warned himself to be extremely low-key and cautious.

His speed was not fast, but it took him less than three minutes to reach the Xuandan Sect.

His sword was suspended outside the Xuandan Sect, and if he was not familiar with the location to the point he wouldn’t get lost with his eyes closed, Han Yi would definitely think he had gone the wrong way.

The Xuandan Mountain in front of him was still there.

However, the Xuandan Sect had completely disappeared.

The original main peak, Xuandan Peak, the twelve Inner Peaks, and the hundreds of Outer Peaks had all undergone great changes. Although they hadn’t collapsed, all the palaces on the Immortal Peaks seemed to have been eroded away by the passage of time, decayed and rotten, and a foul smell that was countless times more intense than the outside enveloped these hundred Immortal Peaks, turning this area of Immortal Peaks into a world of corpses. Moreover.

At this moment, on these Immortal Peaks, there were already many corpses crawling out from the ground, most of them were cultivators of Xuandan Sect who had died in past generations, and a small part were foreign cultivators who had died in Xuandan Sect.

Moreover.

Han Yi’s eyes emitted a faint golden light as he scanned the ground below, discovering that at this moment, the numerous spirit veins under Xuandan Sect were all completely drained. Regardless of whether it was the fifth-stage spirit vein beneath the main peak or the third and fourth-stage spirit veins of the Inner Peaks, even the first and second-stage spirit veins of the Outer Peaks had all turned into dead veins, devoid of any spirit.

He sighed softly in his heart.

This region was considered ruined, and even without the endless foul smell, it was no longer suitable for the Xuandan Sect without any spirit veins.

Rebuilding the Xuandan Sect was essential.

Han Yi descended to Xuandan Peak below.

Xuandan Hall had collapsed, and it was only half a month since he last saw it, but this magnificent and prosperous palace had decayed and collapsed.

Han Yi had never seen such power before.

However, he guessed that it was related to the thick fog that originally enveloped Xuandan Peak.

However, for such a power, Han Yi doubted whether it could be controlled by a Nascent Soul cultivator, let alone a Spirit Transformation cultivator.

The current state of Xuandan Peak only deepened the doubts in Han Yi’s heart.

Apart from Xuandan Hall, Han Yi also inspected other areas of Xuandan Peak. Speaking of it.

This was his first time seeing the other buildings on Xuandan Peak besides Xuandan Hall.

However, at this moment these buildings were almost completely decayed under the influence of a higher-level power.

In a large hall behind and beside Xuandan Hall, Han Yi saw a huge pit that was several tens of meters deep. The foul smell in the pit was the most intense in the entire Xuandan Sect.

However, the huge pit was empty and devoid of any other discoveries.

Next.

Han Yi left Xuandan Peak, walking through the other Inner and Outer Peaks. Except for the empty, semi-decayed, and semi-collapsed palaces, there were endless foul smells, which made him very uncomfortable.

He walked into the Azure Dragon Palace, entering the quiet cultivation chamber that had been assigned to him, stood at the Azure Dragon Cliff, walked through the Red Sun Market, and the scenes in the Nine Dragon Shops seemed like just yesterday.

He walked through the Vermilion Bird Hall, and the scenes at the time of the passage through would never be forgotten. He walked past Combat Peak, this most unique Immortal Peak, flourishing under his witness, and lingered at the Heaven, Earth and Human List for a long time. These three monuments still stood tall, with familiar and unfamiliar names on the lists, and even his own name still on the Heaven List.

Finally, he landed on Little Lingxu Peak, walked half a circle, then rode his sword up, continuing his search.

Half a moment later.

Han Yi broke through the thin fog that enveloped the Xuandan Mountain Range, released the Immortal Boat, and after traveling tens of kilometers on it, he switched to the Red Moon Immortal Boat, the speed increased tenfold, and he disappeared like a meteor.

The next day.

He returned to the Yuan Beast Sect, and the other six Golden Core cultivators gathered together. Han Yi informed them of everything he had seen.

Everyone listening fell into a trance.

After a long time.

Qin Wuxian finally sighed heavily.

“It seems we can’t go back.”

Then, he regained his senses and looked serious.

“In that case, the most pressing matter now is…”

“Reconstructing the Xuandan Sect.”

All of them were Golden Core cultivators. The youngest, Han Yi, was already sixty-six years old, and had experienced many major events. They naturally had enough composure and quickly snapped out of their daze.

“Yes, reconstructing the Xuandan Sect is imperative.”

Zhuge Wu You also nodded heavily, his thoughts extended even further.

“Moreover, we need to have a common understanding, both internally and externally.”

“That is, the Sect Master has broken through to a higher realm, and after killing Jiang Jiuge and severely wounding Liu Su Monarch, he had once descended here before leaving again.”

“This creates the impression that our sect will thrive even more because of Yuan Shun.”

“Only then can we be safer.”

Zhuge Wu You stated decisively.

Everyone instantly understood his meaning.

At this moment, without the secret of Xuandan Peak and the disappearance of Yuan Shun, if a Monarch cultivator were to visit, or even if they didn’t need a Monarch cultivator, just a few Golden Core cultivators with late-stage weapons and a fourth-stage talisman could break the sect’s formation. The Xuandan Sect would have no choice but to face extermination.

So.

They needed to create an illusion that Yuan Shun had returned and left again and that he could return or appear at any time.

Only then could they deter others. Other sects would hesitate to act, and would not dare to invade.

However.

This tactic could only be maintained for a period of time. If Yuan Shun did not appear in front of outsiders for too long, there would be many probes. If the probes revealed that the Xuandan Sect did not have Yuan Shun, then the real killing move would come next.

“I suddenly understand why the Sect Master severely injured Liu Su Monarch after killing Jiang Jiuge.”

“Injuring Liu Su Monarch, Jiang Jiuge’s master, with one strike not only demonstrates the power far beyond the early-stage Nascent Soul, creating a strong deterrent effect, but also can be interpreted as a private feud with Jiang Jiuge, not escalating the conflict to the level of sect enmity.”

“After injuring a Monarch, other powers, including the Wanfa Sect, would be apprehensive for a short time.”

“After that, even without the Sect Master, we would have some time to develop peacefully.”

Huo Ming, who had been relatively silent, suddenly whispered.

“Using the Blood Sea incident.”

“Destroying Yuan Beast Sect and preserving the fifth-stage Spirit Vein is to gain space.”

“Killing Jiang Jiuge and severely injuring Liu Su Monarch is to buy time.” “Unfortunately, the Sect Master did not arrange long-term plans.”

“It seems that the Sect Master might have foreseen that he wouldn’t be able to return shortly after preparing all this.”

“But he also believes that he can return soon.”

Huo Ming’s words were the ultimate explanation for the complex events that had occurred during this period.

Although many questions remained unanswered in this explanation, Han Yi generally agreed with it.

Next.

The seven of them began to discuss the reconstruction of the Xuandan Sect in greater detail. Previously, they were only temporarily staying in this place and had not decided to develop here for the long term. But now that the Xuandan Sect was turned into a land of corpses and Han Yi couldn’t find the source, all the Spirit Veins had become dead veins, making it impossible to return.

This place would be the new Xuandan Sect.

They discussed various details throughout the day and night, then called an assembly of all senior elders to announce various matters.

A single stone stirred a thousand waves.

The entire sect was instantly boiling with excitement..
