Chapter 548: Spirit Tide
The stone hall's grand doors were tightly shut.
Embedded in the surrounding walls was a ring of Moonstones, emitting a soft, gentle glow that lit the spacious hall brightly. Cushions and other furnishings were arranged in various places throughout the hall, where several cultivators from Shangyuan Tranquility Palace were meditating in seclusion.
A few Shangyuan Tranquility Palace cultivators stood beside the teleportation array, explaining to those who had just arrived via teleportation.
"Fellow Daoists, the Spirit Tide is currently at its most violent phase. Please remain here in the hall for now. Once it subsides slightly, we will escort you to Xuanlu Stronghold."
Qin Sang had arrived with the first batch. Having experienced it once before, his condition was much better than last time. He nodded at the fellow cultivators from Shangyuan Tranquility Palace and casually found a corner where he adjusted his breathing slightly and soon recovered completely.
He still remembered how, during his previous visit, the celestial phenomena had just erupted. At that time, the great array here had shielded the entire valley. Now, however, everyone had retreated into the stone hall, proving how formidable the Spirit Tide truly was.
The stone hall trembled continuously, and the multicolored barrier on the stone doors flickered erratically, revealing just how fierce the assault outside must be.
The unknown was the most terrifying of all.
No one could see what was happening beyond the stone hall, and the barriers on the doors appeared dangerously fragile. Many began to feel uneasy and restless.
Qin Sang rose and approached a man who looked to be in charge. He was a cultivator from Shangyuan Tranquility Palace. He was dressed like a middle-aged Daoist, his face pale and clean-shaven, and his cultivation had reached the late stage of the Foundation Building Realm.
"Greetings, Senior Brother. I am Qin Sang of Shaohua Mountain," said Qin Sang.
Shaohua Mountain and Shangyuan Tranquility Palace were closely aligned, and disciples from both sects typically addressed each other as senior brothers.
