Luofu Ridge, in the original legend of the Great Hua Dynasty, was a giant mountain that separated heaven and earth. It was said that as long as one crossed this mountain range, they could reach the realm of immortals. From ancient times to the present, there have been countless legends about this mountain ridge, and countless heroes from the Jianghu have come one after another, wanting to cross this mountain ridge to find their own immortal destiny. Even her father had sent a team of Taoist priests to Luofu to seek the way of longevity when he first ascended to the throne. However, none of them were able to return alive after entering the mountain ridge. It was said that they had already attained enlightenment and ascended to immortality, and would no longer set foot in the mortal world.
However, Mo Zi Chen naturally knew that those were just empty rumors. In fact, this Luo Fu Ridge is a very dangerous place on the Kunwu Continent. According to the records of the Jade Book, this was once the site of a great battle between the Kunwu Xianmen and the evil demons from outside, and Luo Fu Ridge was the lair of the demon cult. The war was extremely brutal, but in the end, the Xuanmen won and set up a very powerful forbidden law to suppress the demonic energy here. However, the terrain is still very dangerous, with monsters roaming everywhere in the mountains, and even ancient spatial rifts that were torn apart during the war. Even if a cultivator falls into one of these rifts, they will be reduced to nothing but bones. Therefore, cultivators on the Kunwu Continent rarely come here.
Later, several top masters in the Xuanmen sect, who had barely escaped with their lives, built a transmission array from another route underground, allowing cultivators from Lingbei to reach Lingshan. However, in their eyes, Lingshan was also a barren and impoverished land with thin spiritual energy, so this transmission array was mostly idle most of the time. Mo Zichen easily found the location of the transmission array according to the instructions on the jade slip.
The ones guarding the transmission array are usually disciples of various sects in Zhongtu who take turns on duty. These two people are both disciples at the 7th or 8th level of Qi refinement, and they will be stationed here for ten years, which is considered a trial by ordeal.
Mo Zi Chen took out his own jade tablet, which had a special mark unique to the Jiu Hua Xian Sect, to inform the other party of his identity.
Those two were young men who couldn't help but show a few more points of respect when they saw the disciples of Jiu Hua Xian Zong, although they didn't dare to underestimate her despite her low cultivation. Mo Zi Chen thanked them and prepared to step into the transmission array.
At this time, a disciple whispered: "This transmission array, sometimes two or three years don't even see one person passing through, but in the past few months, quite a few people have come."
Mo Zi Chen's heart moved, and she asked: "Excuse me, senior brother, have you seen someone like this before?" She stretched out her hand to measure it, and then drew the appearance of that man.
The disciple thought for a moment before saying: "A few months ago, it seemed that there was an elder who came here, but he didn't seem to have returned yet."
Mo Zi Chen couldn't help but feel a little surprised, he had been delayed in Lingnan for quite some time, and he still hadn't returned, wasn't he dead from encountering some danger?
She silently wished in her heart, at least she would wait until she successfully joined the sect before dying. She smiled towards the two disciples and said: "My surname is Mo, I am a new disciple of the Taihua lineage, I don't know which school you two brothers belong to, how should I address you?"
The two of them were stunned for a moment, then said: "We are brothers, with the surname Zhu, from the Xuanji Sect in the northern part of the Kunwu Continent."
Mo Zi Chen bowed slightly and said: "Thank you!" After that, she stepped into the transmission array. A burst of treasure light passed by, and her figure disappeared from the spot.
The two brothers exchanged a somewhat strange look, and the older brother said: "The Taihua Sect is now in a mess, yet they still have the leisure to recruit new disciples in Lingnan? That little girl, surely she's not an imposter?"
Mo Zi Chen did not hear the conversation between the two brothers, and the transmission array instantly moved thousands of miles away. In just a moment, she had traversed the entire Luo Fu Ridge and arrived at the other end to the north of the great mountain. When her feet touched solid ground, she raised her head to gaze up at the sky, took a deep breath, and felt that the air here seemed even fresher than in the south of the ridge, although it might just be an illusion.
She turned her head to gaze at the majestic mountain range, like a giant beast crouching on the ground, separating the land behind her from herself. From now on, she was no longer Yang Princess of the Great Hua Dynasty, but Mo Zi Chen. She would walk towards her new life and new destiny.
The Xuanzhou recorded on the jade slip is still tens of thousands of miles away from Luofu. Mo Zi Chen, who is now only at the second level of refining his Qi, is far from being able to fly and leave no trace, traveling a thousand miles in a single day. He can only walk step by step, and it will take him at least two or three months to cover this distance of tens of thousands of miles.
However, in the Jade Annals, it is also mentioned that in each of the major cities, there are transmission arrays available for these lower-level cultivators to use, requiring only a payment of spirit stones. Of course, these transmission arrays were made very crudely and the distance they could transmit was relatively short, with each transmission limited to just a few people. The reason is that in today's cultivation world, spiritual energy is scarce, and even spirit stones are becoming increasingly difficult to obtain. Cultivators like Mo Zi Chen, who have achieved such a high level of cultivation, are mostly unwilling to pay the price of spirit stones.
Nature, Mo Zi Chen's current identity is a well-known big faction, a disciple of the Nine Flowers Immortal Sect. One or two pieces of spiritual stones are not even worth looking at. But now, she is really penniless and white, if it weren't for her successful cultivation, she wouldn't need to eat every day, she would even suspect that she couldn't walk anywhere without starving to death.
On this continent, the immortals and mortals are not completely isolated from each other. Some medium-sized sects or immortal families often have representatives in the mortal world, and some large cities even have branches of immortal sects. However, the identity that can be identified on her jade tablet is only that of a first-class entry-level disciple of the Jiuhua Immortal Sect. If she were to switch to a higher-level identity, she would be able to use the name of the sect to mobilize most of its power in the mortal world. But for now, she can only diligently offer up spirit stones.
After passing through Lofou Ridge and witnessing the vast expanse of Kunwu Continent, she realized that her previous horizons were merely those of a frog at the bottom of a well. The grand cities she saw here, each one more prosperous than the capital of the Great Hua Dynasty, and the people here seemed not to be entirely ignorant of the world of cultivation. Here, there seemed to be no natural barrier between cultivators and ordinary people.
Naturally, people in remote areas wouldn't know about it, but in the big city, she could hear rumors about some of the Xianmen sects.
On the seventh day of leaving Luo Fu Ridge, she arrived at the first big city she had come to, called Tan Prefecture.
This place is also known as the City of Blossoming Flowers. Legend has it that a fairy once planted a million lotus flowers here, which bloomed overnight, and from then on, people gathered here to form a large city. It's said that in the city, there are still remnants left behind by the fairy maiden. Mo Zi Chen showed her jade token to the gate official and walked into the city without any obstruction. Afterwards, she asked the gatekeeper, "Excuse me, do you know where the transmission array is?"
