As they delved deeper into the Fallen Land, they occasionally encountered other cultivators along the way, but no one came to cause trouble.
Three days later, Lin Yun and An Yun arrived at the central area of the Fallen Land.
This was a vast valley, everything barren and bare.
In the valley, there were two teams cultivating and comprehending the dao, but they kept a certain distance from each other.
“Young Master, look at the team on the left, those are people from the White Mist Tower.” An Yun said.
“Oh? How did you recognise them?” Lin Yun asked in surprise.
“They are wearing the standard dao robes of the White Mist Tower, so I could spot them at a glance.” An Yun explained.
Lin Yun suddenly understood. He had heard of the White Mist Tower, as it was a top force in the ancestral lands with a Supreme Realm expert, and it had joined the Dao Alliance.
Lin Yun glanced over from afar. The people from the White Mist Tower were all in white robes, with a small tower embroidered on the chest of the robes.
No wonder they dared to cultivate in this central area.
After all, the deterrent power of the White Mist Tower was there for all to see. Others would not dare to provoke them upon recognising them.
“The effect of comprehending here seems quite good.” Lin Yun sensed the special environment here, somewhat surprised.
“As the central area of the Fallen Land, the effects are indeed better, but the safety factor for cultivation here is also lower. Those who dare to come here to cultivate are teams with significant backgrounds.” An Yun explained.
Out of caution, to be on the safe side, An Yun had not brought Lin Yun here from the start.
“By the way, there does not seem to be any special activity here.” Lin Yun said.
“The previous activity was very brief, and now it has completely subsided. We can wait and see here first. Young Master, you can cultivate here for now.” An Yun said.
“Alright!”
Lin Yun nodded in agreement, then found a spot and began cultivating and comprehending.
Cultivating here gave Lin Yun a strong sense of progress, which he could clearly feel.
Of course, truly succeeding in moulding the dao was not something that could happen overnight.
The other two teams here kept a certain distance from Lin Yun, and they did not come over to cause trouble.
In cultivation, time flowed like water, passing quietly without notice.
In a flash, another ten years went by.
A violent tremor jolted Lin Yun awake from his cultivation.
“What is happening!”
Lin Yun abruptly opened his eyes.
The entire valley was shaking violently, as if an earthquake had struck.
Lin Yun looked up and saw five stone pillars surging out from underground in the front part of the valley!
The five stone pillars were enveloped by a massive light barrier.
“As expected, something unusual has appeared!”
Lin Yun immediately stood up and looked towards the five pitch-black stone pillars ahead.
On the five stone pillars, each hung a golden key, very conspicuous against the black pillars.
The other two teams cultivating nearby also quickly stood up upon sensing the disturbance and looked towards the black stone pillars.
A third-level Tongtian Realm cultivator from the White Mist Tower even tried to charge straight at the five stone pillars.
The five stone pillars were covered by the massive light barrier. The cultivator slashed out with his sword directly.
Boom!
The attack landed on the barrier, releasing ripples. This third-level Tongtian Realm cultivator was actually repelled backwards by the impact.
“The power of his attack seems to have been reflected back.” An Yun said.
“Mm.” Lin Yun nodded as well.
After the attempt, the White Mist Tower cultivator could only retreat to his team.
Clearly, breaking the barrier by force was not easy.
“Young Master, shall I go and try?” An Yun looked at Lin Yun.
“No need. This barrier is slowly weakening. In a while, it should disappear.” Lin Yun gazed ahead.
Lin Yun murmured, “I just do not know what these five golden keys on the five stone pillars are for.”
Based on Lin Yun’s experience, these five golden keys must have something special about them.
Once the barrier vanished, Lin Yun was determined to seize one and see what it did.
“Next, we just wait. It seems at most three days, and the barrier will dissipate.” Lin Yun said.
Just a few hours later, another team appeared. After that, more teams and individual cultivators who acted alone kept arriving here.
