<h4>Chapter 478: Entrance of the Pce</h4>


    After some time, Xue Ying couldn''t help but interject, "Isn''t the location that Ouyang Kuishan just pointed out in the same direction where the disturbance just arose? Surely that has to mean the information is reliable."


    "There''s no hurry. If that really is the entrance of the High Zenith Pce, then it''ll surely be protected by restrictions and guards, so even if others manage to get there before us, they won''t be able to enter the pce anytime soon," Xiao Jinhan replied with a shake of his head.


    "Are you saying that Ouyang Kuishan is lying to us? Surely not! If he had the courage to lie to us, then he wouldn''t have betrayed Baili Yan," Xue Ying said as a hint of derision shed through her eyes.


    "Ouyang Kuishan is not to be fully trusted, and it''s always better to be safe than sorry," Xiao Jinhan said as he pointed a finger at the array te, upon which the samemunication array was conjured up again.


    The array shed a few times, following which a projection of Lu Yue emerged.


    "Greetings, Pce Master. Do you have some instructions for me?" Lu Yue asked with a respectful salute.


    "Where are you right now? Did you sense anything just now?" Xiao Jinhan asked.


    "I am currently situated in the southeast rtive to the location where we split up, and I didn''t sense anything just now," Lu Yue replied.


    "I see. Keep searching that area, and report back to me immediately if you discover anything," Xiao Jinhan instructed.


    Lu Yue nodded in response, and themunication was concluded.


    Xiao Jinhan made a hand seal, and he was just about to contact someone else when a burst of ck light suddenly appeared on his body.


    His expression instantly changed slightly as he swept a sleeve through the air, and a ck array te appeared in his grasp, emanating rings of ck light.


    An indistinct ck figure was standing in the ck light, and it was the same person that he had spoken to atop the cliffst time.


    "Pce Master Xiao, the entrance of the High Zenith Pce has already emerged. Feng Tiandu has already discovered it and is heading there right now. Everything has already been set up ording to our n," the ck figure dered.


    A hint of tion shed through Xiao Jinhan''s eyes upon hearing this, but he remained level-headed as he asked, "Where is the entrance?"


    The ck figure swept a sleeve through the air to release a burst of ck light that conjured up a map, and there was a marked location on the map that was virtually identical to the location indicated by Ouyang Kuishan earlier.


    "Alright, I''ming right now," Xiao Jinhan immediately said, and themunication was concluded.


    "Let''s go!" Xiao Jinhan instructed as the ball of white light continued onward, and Xue Ying also cast an incantation seal into the ball of white light to elerate it even further.


    The Immortal Pce cultivators flew onward for a while before a burst of blue light suddenly appeared to their right, and it was rapidly approaching them, reaching them in the blink of an eye.


    Xue Ying''s brows furrowed slightly as the ball of white light drew to a halt at her behest, and she was just about to yell out at the approaching burst of blue light, but Xiao Jinhan gestured for her to remain silent.


    The blue light up ahead faded, revealing a group of Vast Flow Pce cultivators, led by none other than Grand Pce Master Luo Qinghai.


    "What a coincidence, Pce Master Xiao. You look like you''re in quite a hurry. May I ask where you''re going?" Luo Qinghai asked as he cupped his fist toward Xiao Jinhan and the others in a salute.


    "How can I help you, Grand Pce Master Luo?" Xiao Jinhan asked in an indifferent voice.


    "I discovered a set of ruins up ahead, but there''s a restriction inside that''s proving to be quite difficult to break. We''ve already been trying for several days to no avail, and we presume that there must be a precious treasure inside. Would you like toe and have a look with us, Pce Master Xiao?" Luo Qinghai asked with a smile.


    "Where are these ruins?" Xiao Jinhan asked.


    "Not far up ahead, only about half a day away from here," Luo Qinghai replied as he pointed in the direction that he came from.


    Xiao Jinhan cast his gaze toward that direction to find that it was precisely the direction where the entrance of the High Zenith Pce was situated.


    "From my observations, it seems like there''s an ancient tomb under the restriction. I don''t know who''s buried there, but it''s definitely a very important person," Luo Qinghai said as he pulled out a blue jade talisman.


    The jade talisman released a burst of bright blue light at his behest, which transformed into a mirror of water that depicted a vast wilderness filled with howling wind and swirling sand.


    There was also a massive yellow ovr light barrier in the image, and it was rather murky and indistinct, concealing what was underneath.


    Only the outlines of a giant tomb could be made out through the light barrier, and it resembled a giant beast that was resting on the ground.


    "Looks like you stumbled upon quite a stroke of fortune, Grand Pce Master Luo, but wouldn''t you have much preferred for your Vast Flow Pce to have imed this ce alone? Why are you inviting me?" Xiao Jinhan asked.


    "I just told you. The restriction outside the tomb is extremely formidable, and all of us have been attacking it non-stop for several consecutive days without being able to make much progress at all. If we''re dyed any further, other powers will most likely begin to arrive on the scene.


    “That''s why I''m inviting you toe and help us break the restriction, and we''ll split the treasures inside evenly between our two sects. What do you say?" Luo Qinghai asked as a serious look appeared on his face.


    "If this is a restriction that even you can''t open, then it''s most likely beyond me as well," Xiao Jinhan refused with a shake of his head.


    "Don''t worry about that, Pce Master Xiao. Even though we haven''t been able to break the restriction, I''ve managed to find a way to do so, but it requires six Golden Immortals working together at once, and that''s why I''m inviting you toe along," Luo Qinghai replied with a smile.


    Xiao Jinhan contemted the offer momentarily, then turned to Xue Ying as he said, "Your Vast Flow Pce already has five Golden Immortals, so you only need one more. Xue Ying, take everyone else and make a trip to the ruins with Grand Pce Master Luo."


    Xue Ying''s expression changed slightly upon hearing this, and she hurriedly said to Xiao Jinhan through voice transmission, "But Pce Master, what if this is a trap..."


    "Don''t worry, I know what I''m doing," Xiao Jinhan interjected, and Xue Ying fell silent upon hearing this.


    "Deputy Pce Xue Ying will also suffice for the task," Luo Qinghai said. "Time is of the essence, so let''s set off right away, Deputy Pce Master Xue."


    Immediately thereafter, he swept a sleeve through the air, releasing a burst of blue light that swept up all of the Vast Flow Pce cultivators before flying away into the distance.


    "I''ll be going then, Pce Master," Xue Ying said to Xiao Jinhan, then flipped a hand over to produce a bird-shaped flying boat for all of the Immortal Pce cultivators to pile onto.


    "Make sure to help Grand Pce Master Luo to the best of your abilities," Xiao Jinhan instructed, making sure to ce extra emphasis on the word "help".


    Xue Ying nodded in response, then made a hand seal, and the flying boat immediately departed, vanishing into the distance in the blink of an eye.


    Xiao Jinhan looked on as the two groups departed into the distance, and only after all of them hadpletely vanished out of sight did he continue onward as a streak of white light.


    Several dayster, a streak of white light arrived from afar, then faded to reveal Xiao Jinhan in the sky above a giant canyon.


    His hands were sped behind his back, and his robes were pping audibly in the wind as he inspected his surroundings.


    The location that had been pointed out by both Ouyang Kuishan and the shadowy figure wasn''t very far away from this ce.


    Some timeter, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he shot forth like lightning, flying toward a certain direction in the canyon inplete silence.


    ......


    At the foot of the canyon was a giant rectangr stone wall that was white in color and several thousand feet in size. Its surface was extremely smooth, and it seemed to be an enormous gate.


    There was a piece of scenery engraved onto the stone wall from left to right, and it was extremely vibrant and lifelike.


    Behind the stone wall was a thick white light barrier that was shing incessantly, and there were many people gathered in front of the stone wall, split up into four different factions.


    Thergest group consisted of the Dawn Fall Sect''s cultivators, with almost all of the Dawn Fall Sect cultivators who had entered the immortal manor present. All they were missing were a couple of True Immortal cultivators, who had presumably perished elsewhere in the immortal manor.


    Not far away from the Dawn Fall Sect''s cultivators stood a group of Southern Dawn beings, but out of their four Golden Immortals, only the elderly man and the elderly woman were present, while the other two were absent.


    As for their True Immortal cultivator, only about half of them were present, and it was unclear whether the other half had already perished or were still on their way.


    The group with the second-least number of people was Ouyang Kuishan and the other two ze Dragon Dao Dao Lords, while the final group only consisted of two people, namely a man and a woman.


    If Han Li were present, he would''ve immediately been able to identify them as Daoist Hu Yan and Yun Ni.


    Right at this moment, a figure emerged in the sky amid a sh of golden light.


    The new arrival didn''t say anything, and there was no aura escaping from his body at all, but everyone was struck by a sense of pressure in his presence.


    It was none other than Xiao Jinhan.


    His arrival was met with varying degrees of dismay from everyone, with the exceptions of Ouyang Kuishan''s trio, who immediately approached him with ted expressions.


    "We pay our respects to the esteemed pce master!"


    "Good job. The three of you will be rewarded once we leave the immortal manor," Xiao Jinhan said.


    "Thank you, Pce Master!" Ouyang Kuishan''s trio replied in unison.


    Xiao Jinhan''s gaze then swept over the Southern Dawn beings and the duo of Daoist Hu Yan and Yun Ni, and his brows furrowed ever so slightly.


    "These people were most likely nearby as well, and they arrived not long after the phenomenon here subsided," Ouyang Kuishan hurriedly exined via voice transmissions at the sight of Xiao Jinhan''s expression.


    Xiao Jinhan gave a slight nod and offered no response.


    "Wee, Pce Master Xiao. I wasn''t expecting you to get here so soon. Why are you here on your own? Where are the other fellow daoists from the Immortal Pce?" Feng Tiandu asked.
