Chapter 69: Moonlit Rafting
ultivators since childhood, Song Ying naturally knew how precious a Foundation Establishment Pill was. Even powerful families in Yuefang Market couldn't find a single Foundation Establishment Pill for...One can see many cultivators heading towards the mountain gate of Yuang Zhao Men. Some are flying in the air, some are using magic artifacts, and some can only rely on their own feet. These should all be cultivators participating in this year's Ascension Conference.
However, not all of them are necessarily freelance practitioners.
Elder Yue warned them that after entering the Bagu Forbidden Zone, they must not take any opponent lightly. Yuenzhao Sect was a reputable righteous sect with a considerable reputation in the nearby cultivation world. After becoming a disciple of the sect, if they could break through to the tenth level before the age of forty, they would be rewarded with a Zhukidan pill. Many disciples from cultivating families would also come to participate in the Ascension Grand Assembly. They were not impoverished wandering cultivators; each one had a deep foundation and was certainly protected by an heirloom magic weapon.
When Qin Sang stood at the foot of the mountain and looked up, two cultivators brushed past him.
Everyone is a competitor. We might even meet each other in the gossip forbidden zone later on, where we'll be rivals again. There's no need for pleasantries at that point.
What is your name
"My name is Qin Sang."
>Who are you
“He was a native of Ningguo and had once served as a general in the secular world during the Sui Dynasty.”
In response to inquiries from Qi-cultivating disciples of the Yuanyuan Sect during their foundational period, Qin Sang answered truthfully according to Yue Shishu's instructions. If they passed the Immortal Ascension Assembly and joined the Yuanyuan Sect, the Yuanyuan Sect might send people to investigate.
“Ningguo... Great Sui...”
"Thinking for a moment, the Yuanzhao sect cultivator said with some surprise, "The participants in the Immortal Ascension Grand Assembly are coming from farther and farther away these times."
Qin Sang respectfully said, "Since I was young, my heart has yearned for the immortal way, but unfortunately, I have never been able to enter it. It is said that Yuanguangmen wishes to guide cultivators like me on the immortal path and open up convenient doors. Therefore, I yearn for it and traveled thousands of miles to come here."
Yuan Zhao Men's cultivator stroked his beard and smiled, "You, a lone cultivator, being able to cultivate to the sixth layer of Qi Refining at this age is no easy feat. Don't belittle yourself. Take the jade plaque and go to the hermitage behind the mountain to recuperate your spirit. The day after tomorrow at dawn, our sect members will lead you to the Bagua Forbidden Zone. Don't miss it."
"Yes!"
Qin Sang took the jade pendant and, followed by a young cultivator from Yuanzhao Sect, walked towards the back mountain. On the way, they encountered a female cultivator from Quyin Sect. Their gazes met, but they both pretended not to recognize each other.
After settling into the temple, Qin Sang took out the jade pendant and looked at it, recalling what Yue Shishu had told them about the rules of the Ascension Grand Assembly.

Unlike other cultivating sects, the Yuan Zhao Sect's ascension grand assembly is not a platform for duels.
The Gossip Forbidden Zone has nine areas in total. Everyone will be randomly sent to one of the eight peripheral areas. There are restrictions between these eight areas, but they are all connected to the core area.

Of all those who participated in the Ascension Grand Meeting, the twelve who arrived at the core area first were the victors of this Ascension Grand Meeting.
Due to the restrictions within the Bagua Forbidden Land, even cultivators cannot discern direction. Each casual cultivator participating in the Ascension Conference receives a jade tablet. Upon entering the Bagua Forbidden Land, they must vie for each other's jade tablets. Only after collecting ten tablets will the jade tablets indicate the direction to the core area.
If the number of jade tokens is insufficient, you will not be able to enter even if you luckily find the core area.
In the Forbidden Zone of Gossip, fighting others is inevitable. If you're lucky enough to encounter a weak opponent, you can quickly gather jade tokens. If you're unlucky, you might face a bloodthirsty opponent who not only steals your jade tokens but also threatens your life.
Apart from that, there are many monsters that grow in the forbidden zone, it can be said to be a crisis at every step.
Early the third morning.
Qin Sang hurried to the monastery to gather, and found that there were already three or four hundred people, and more and more people were coming. When it was time, the Yuan Zhao Men cultivators explained the rules of this Xian Ascension Grand Assembly to them, which was not much different from what Yue Shishu said.

Finally, the Yuanzhao Sect cultivator summoned an unassuming wooden raft. Qin Sang heard discussions from those around him and learned that this raft was called the Yueyue Raft, a very famous magical artifact of the Yuanzhao Sect.
The moon-crossing raft may appear small, but it grows larger with every person who boards it. Finally, it carries everyone aloft and soars into the sky.
The raft soared through the clouds, and even the cold wind was blocked by the azure light emitted by the raft. Although it carried so many people, it could still fly swiftly, with mountains, rivers, and lakes flashing by below, which was truly amazing.
The mountain range where Yuanzhao Men was located was as vast as the Yushan Mountains. The moon-crossing raft sped through the mountains for two hours before finally landing on a stone platform at the top of a desolate mountain peak.
Standing on the stone platform, looking around, it was all desolate mountains and wilderness, a scene of desolation. There wasn't the abnormally thick spiritual energy I had imagined, yet I couldn't find where the so-called Bagua Forbidden Zone was.

Qin Sang looked left and right, feeling puzzled. At that moment, he discovered a cave dwelling beside the stone platform. Just as the Moonlight Raft landed, the entrance to the cave opened, and four cultivators from Yuanguang Sect emerged. They were all at the tenth level of the Qi Refining Stage or above. Seeing the Moonlight Raft, they hurried over and bowed respectfully.
"Greetings, Master Uncle!"
The Yuanzhao Sect cultivator who was commanding the moon-crossing raft nodded and said, "The Great Ascension Conference begins today. You go and open the restrictions."
"Yes!"
Four cultivators of the Four-Element Gate walked to the edge of the stone platform, each taking up a corner and sitting cross-legged, muttering incantations.
On the stone platform, spirit runes materialized, forming a mysterious formation. Each person then offered a short sword, each unique and glowing with distinct colors: blue, red, yellow, and white. Their material was unclear.
This is a placeholder text.
The four cultivators' faces darkened slightly, their fingers tapping on the short swords repeatedly. The short swords suddenly burst with light, forming four swirling orbs that hung around their fingertips.
The next moment, the light ball stretched and pulled, transforming into four giant swords several zhang tall.
Four people suddenly raised their hands, pointing at the sky, then shouted in unison.

"Hurriedly!"

The lightsaber suddenly shot out.
'Whoosh!'
To everyone's surprise, the lightsaber didn't soar into the sky. It seemed to hit an invisible barrier, its momentum abruptly halted. Immediately afterward, the void above the lightsaber rippled and churned, creating huge waves. The wind howled, clouds swirled, and the outline of the ancient seal was fully revealed before everyone's eyes.
The sky was ripped open, a colossal chasm churning with endless gales. Razor-sharp wind blades could be seen slicing through the air, threatening to tear apart everything in their path. Multicolored divine light clashed and dissolved, radiating waves of terrifying pressure that sent shivers down one's spine.
Seeing this apocalyptic scene, everyone on the Moon Crossing Raft turned ashen. They had no doubt that if they were accidentally sucked in by the prohibition, they would be torn to shreds instantly.
At that moment, the four of them let out a soft cry. The four lightsabers instantly plunged into the hole and shattered to pieces.
As the four lightsabers dissipated, specks of light scattered into the black hole, and for a moment, the chaotic restrictions calmed. The Yuan Zhao sect cultivators seized the opportunity, the Moon Crossing Raft trembled slightly, and suddenly soared into the air, shooting towards the restrictions with electric speed.
Amidst a chorus of gasps, the moment they reached the cave entrance, the Moon Crossing Raft was suddenly pulled back by the Yuanzhong cultivators. Everyone plummeted in like dumplings being dropped into boiling water.
Qin Sang only felt a dizzying sensation, falling into darkness. All the people around him vanished.powerful friend, they could forcibly occupy it.Having thought this through, Qin Sang spoke, "Daoist Le, I haven't seen the Spirit Spring items in your hands yet. Would you mind showing me"Let me know...
