Sect Master's Immortal Journey

Chapter 169: Examination

Fei Jiang, the Daoist Master, greeted and flew towards the direction of Twin Success Valley with a single call. The journey of a few hundred miles was a breeze for a Gold Core Daoist Master and took only half an hour to fly through.

Twin Success Valley's mountain gate was situated within a valley surrounded by mountains. It was rare to see such towering peaks in the Endless Sea of Sand.

Each of these mountains acted as vigilant guards, firmly blocking the entrance to Twin Success Valley. Three days ago, the sect activated its sect-protecting great formation, unleashing its full power to thoroughly isolate it from the outside world. Looking from the outside, the mountain top was covered in mist, completely shrouding the valley below. Countless large sand particles floated between the mountains without any wind, obstructing any external probing.

Fei Jiang, the Daoist Master, arrived high above Twin Success Valley's sect-protecting great formation. With his status and strength, he was not afraid of Twin Success Valley daring to attack him.

Looking down at the impenetrable sect-protecting great formation, even a Gold Core Daoist Master like him couldn't see what was happening below.

Fei Jiang, the Daoist Master, furrowed his brow and lowered his flying altitude, descending slowly towards the formation.

Arriving at the edge of Twin Success Valley's sect-protecting great formation, he shouted loudly, "Is the Twin Success Valley Sect Master present? Come out and meet this Daoist Master immediately."

Fei Jiang's voice carried a special force that penetrated the sect-protecting great formation and transmitted inside.

After a while, Fei Jiang started to feel impatient. What was Twin Success Valley up to? He had already revealed his identity as a Gold Core Daoist Master, so why was no one coming out to welcome him?

If it weren't for his consideration of his identity as a righteous expert, Fei Jiang would have considered directly attacking the formation.

"Have all the people inside died? If you don't come out now, I won't be polite anymore."

Fei Jiang, being from a reputable sect, always gave warnings before taking action against others.

Finally, after some time, there was a response from below.

"Coming, coming. I was in closed-door cultivation, and it took me some time to finish my practice. I apologize for making the senior wait."

"It's all my fault; it's all my fault. Please don't blame me, senior."

The Sect Master of Twin Success Valley, Xiao Haisheng, hurriedly flew up from below in a flustered manner, explaining as soon as he arrived.

He hadn't yet come close, but he quickly kept explaining without pause. Xiao Haisheng had seen Fei Jiang, the Daoist Master, from afar once before.

Fei Jiang's expression softened slightly upon seeing this.

"What is Twin Success Valley up to? Why did you activate the great formation and lock the doors in broad daylight? Could it be that you are secretly involved in something suspicious?"

"Senior, you've misunderstood. There's nothing suspicious going on. It's just that a few elders and I were practicing a technique together. We were worried about being disturbed by outsiders, so we temporarily closed the gates," Xiao Haisheng explained calmly.

Fei Jiang, the Daoist Master, remained skeptical.

"Since there's nothing suspicious, then open the gates and let this Daoist Master go in and take a look."

"It's just a minor matter. How could I trouble the senior with such a big display?" Xiao Haisheng's attitude became even more respectful.

Despite his respectful tone and continuous stream of flattery, Xiao Haisheng still didn't open the gates.

Fei Jiang, being an experienced individual, saw through Xiao Haisheng's attempts to delay him.

Fei Jiang's suspicions grew even stronger.

"Enough with the nonsense. Open the gates immediately and let this Daoist Master inspect. If you dare to offer any more excuses, I won't be polite."

Fei Jiang, the Daoist Master, grew cold, issuing a final ultimatum.

Xiao Haisheng knew he couldn't continue to stall. Fei Jiang was determined to enter, but Xiao Haisheng didn't dare to let him in.

He tried one last effort to buy more time, but Fei Jiang, the Daoist Master, had run out of patience and had no intention of continuing to waste time with him.

Fei Jiang, the Daoist Master, reached out to grab Xiao Haisheng and force him to open the gates.

However, Xiao Haisheng's reaction was not slow, despite his weaker cultivation base.

He quickly retreated into the sect-protecting great formation.

"You're quite slippery, running away so quickly," Fei Jiang, the Daoist Master, remarked nonchalantly.

"A mere Second Rank great formation wants to stop me. How naive," he added.

Fei Jiang, the Daoist Master, raised both hands, and golden qi condensed in the air, transforming into countless sharp blades. Wave after wave, they descended onto the sect-protecting great formation below.

Numerous blades relentlessly struck the formation, sparking bursts of light.

All the Foundation Building elders of Twin Success Valley, along with many Refining Qi disciples, had taken their positions. After Xiao Haisheng escaped into the sect-protecting great formation, he immediately arrived at the control center.

This Second Rank superior sect-protecting great formation, established above a Second Rank spirit vein, received the support of many cultivators from Twin Success Valley. In the short term, it was enough to withstand attacks from Gold Core cultivators and delay sufficient time.

Fei Jiang, the Daoist Master, attacked for quite some time, but he couldn't breach the formation. This not only made him lose face but also aroused his suspicion.

Twin Success Valley dared to prevent him from inspecting, which showed that they were guilty of something. Perhaps there was some shady business going on in the valley below.

Initially, Fei Jiang, the Daoist Master, didn't believe Twin Success Valley had the capability to cultivate Gold Core Daoist Masters, but he came just to be cautious.

Now that Twin Success Valley was openly opposing him, he couldn't let them off easily.

Fei Jiang, the Daoist Master, became serious. He made a single-handed gesture, summoning a golden beheading horse knife that fell into his hand.

Gold Core Daoist Masters usually used Third Rank magic tools, also known as spiritual tools, which possessed spiritual qualities.

Fei Jiang, the Daoist Master, originally came from the mortal world as a warrior and was skilled in using long beheading horse knives before entering Dao cultivation. After forming his Gold Core, he had a spiritual tool forged specifically for him.

After years of nurturing and use, this beheading horse knife not only gained spirituality but also became Fei Jiang's killer move.

He raised the beheading horse knife high and slashed it down. A golden blade aura struck the sect-protecting great formation, creating a deep fissure. Although the great formation quickly repaired the gap, its operation was significantly affected.

Some Refining Qi disciples with weaker cultivation bases within the great formation were shaken by the immense force, feeling dizzy and numb, almost spitting blood.
