Lu Yan surveyed the surroundings, deliberately selecting a secluded spot dozens of kilometers away from Gathering Point No. 73.
After the Xianxia version update, the surrounding areas also turned into desolate mountains and wilderness. By observing the types of vegetation around, Lu Yan could confirm that he was still within the scope of the Wushan Mountain Range, although the exact location wasn't very clear.
After a rough exploration, Lu Yan's gaze landed on the Profound Vagina Door before him, pierced by the Human Emperor Banner.
The vortex inside the Profound Vagina Door stopped operating after being suppressed by the Heavenly Dao Merit Treasure. The All Laws and Dao sank into silence, and even the door transformed into a stone gate.
Lu Yan was well aware that everything before him was merely an illusion. Once the Human Emperor Banner was removed, the Profound Vagina Door, which bore the pollution of the Longevity version, would once again awaken.
Although the residual pollution within the Profound Vagina Door might not stir much trouble in the Xianxia version, to be safe, Lu Yan decided to maintain the suppression with the Human Emperor Banner until a reliable solution was found before removing it.
However, the only hidden concern was that during the suppression of the Profound Vagina Door, Lu Yan could not freely use the Human Emperor Banner. The rıghtful source is 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡⁂𝙛𝙞𝙧𝙚⁂𝙣𝙚𝙩
"But this isn't really a big deal. The Xianxia version isn't filled with demons and end-of-the-world crises; ordinary Foundation Establishment Cultivation is sufficient for moving through the Cultivation Realm.
If truly faced with an insurmountable problem, pulling out the Human Emperor Banner would suffice, albeit with some risks."
Having settled his thoughts, Lu Yan reached out and grasped the Human Emperor Banner, channeling his Magical Power to store the Human Emperor Banner and the petrified Profound Vagina Door into his body together.
This process was extremely slow. Lu Yan could even feel the faint True Intent of the Great Dao escaping from the Profound Vagina Door attempting to resist but was forcefully suppressed by the Human Emperor Banner.
It took nearly half a day for Lu Yan to store the Human Emperor Banner and the Profound Vagina Door inside himself.
With a long sigh of relief, Lu Yan's Magical Power flowed around him as he rose into the sky, starting to observe the directions around him.
In the distance at the end of the mountain range, Lu Yan vaguely saw a majestic and grand Immortal City.
Recalling the map of the Wushan region in his mind, Lu Yan was surprised to find that this Immortal City didn't seem to exist in his memory.
With a touch of curiosity, Lu Yan controlled his light to travel quickly towards the Immortal City, hoping to determine the surrounding geographical location and the changes in the Xianxia version in recent years.
The Immortal City wasn't too far, just over a hundred kilometers from where Lu Yan was. If the Abyssal God could still be used, opening two spatial rifts would allow for a quick arrival.
As he approached closer, Lu Yan finally saw the full view of the Immortal City.
The Immortal City stood on a plain outside the mountain range, with swirling clouds and mist covering most of the city, making it appear as if nestled in the clouds, like an Immortal Realm.
Lu Yan could sense a significant increase in the concentration of Spiritual Qi in the surrounding area, as if the entire Immortal City was situated atop a super-sized Spirit Vein, with the core Spirit Vein being at least third-tier or higher.
In the Xianxia version, the Spirit Vein occupied by a force often represents the level of that force, proving that behind the Immortal City, there are at least multiple Golden Core cultivators.
Such power in the Xianxia version is already considered impressive.
As he got closer to the Immortal City, the number of cultivators around began to increase. One could frequently see numerous Qi Cultivation cultivators controlling Flying Magical Artifacts, occasionally glimpsing Foundation Establishment Great Cultivators.
Lu Yan descended slowly at the city gate, where the third-tier city-protecting formation subtly resisted Lu Yan's entry.
Lu Yan could perceive the powerful third-tier city-protecting formation connecting with the entire city's aura, making the formation seem like it co-existed with the heavens and the earth, capable of unleashing earth-shattering might once activated.
Having witnessed many strong individuals through two versions, the imposing power of the yet-to-be-activated third-tier city-protecting formation was not intimidating to Lu Yan, as it was not as formidable as being besieged by over a dozen Golden Core experts.
However, the third-tier formation faintly revealed a sense of co-existing with the world, sparking a gleam of interest in Lu Yan's eyes.
The Underworld army, led by the Human Emperor Banner, was undoubtedly best at legion battle arrays.
Six thousand six hundred Yin Soldiers and Ghost Generals forming formation nodes could amplify the battle array's power to the utmost.
Whether it was the Nine Netherworlds Yin Wind Nether Fire Array or the Ghost God Array, both were third-tier formations mastered by the Underworld legion, capable of killing Golden Core cultivators, their power deemed astonishing.
However, in reality, these third-tier formations were not based on orthodox array inheritance methods.
The "Array Profound Mystery" mastered by Lu Yan only recorded three second-tier formations, without even a trace of third-tier formation concepts. The Giant Spirit God could only forcibly deduce them through sheer Soul Computation Power from the Path of Omniscience.
Without a solid foundation in array formations, relying solely on massive Soul Computation Power for miracles is somewhat improper.
This was Lu Yan's first time witnessing an orthodox third-tier formation, and its world-integrating might sparked some new ideas in him.
"If I could acquire an inheritance of third-tier formations, and thoroughly explore the mysteries of harnessing world power, it could undoubtedly enhance the strength of the Underworld army.
Especially since the Underworld army is large in number, and their auras could merge into one through the Human Emperor Banner. If I could obtain a fourth-tier formation, perhaps the Human Emperor Banner could set up a formation capable of countering a Nascent Soul True Monarch."
With this goal set for the Xianxia version, Lu Yan strode towards the city gate.
The Immortal City had one large and two small city gates. The huge central gate was closed, covered with array patterns and mysterious restrictions.
