He then looked at Yu Lianzhou and the others and said, "Lianzhou, Daiyan, Liting, and Shenggu, you should follow the original plan and find a place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, to serve as a secret base and cultivate elites for the anti-Yuan cause."
Everyone readily agreed.

Starting from Junzhou, the journey to Kunlun Mountain is more than ten thousand miles.
For an ordinary person, it would probably take a year to reach the destination.
Xiao Ning and Zhang Cuishan were different. They were both highly skilled. Not to mention Xiao Ning, who was at the Innate Realm, Zhang Cuishan had also reached the seventh level of the Acquired Realm. So they were faster than ordinary people when traveling.
After trekking through mountains and rivers, enduring wind and rain, the two finally arrived at the Kunlun Mountains after nearly half a month.
The Kunlun Mountains stretch for thousands of miles, located in the western region, where sandstorms are everywhere, and the land is bitterly cold with biting winds.
Xiao Ning knew that this place was located at the junction of Xinjiang, Qinghai and Tibet in later generations, at an altitude of more than 4,000 meters, which is a plateau area.
The Kunlun Mountains are the ancestral dragon veins of all mountains in the world. The entire mountain range rises from the plateau and descends from the sky, vast and mighty, stretching thousands of miles from east to west. It is boundless and majestic, with towering snow-capped peaks and crisscrossing glaciers, making it a magnificent and magical sight.
In mythology, Mount Kunlun is the Heavenly Emperor's palace on earth, guarded by Lu Wu, a nine-tailed human, and also home to the immortal peach tree.
Another theory suggests that this place was the place where the Queen Mother of the West practiced her cultivation.
Of course, it's just a myth; take it with a grain of salt.
The location of the Ming Cult's headquarters, Bright Peak, has always been a secret, known to few in the martial arts world. Xiao Ning only knew that the mountain was called Zuowang Peak, but did not know its exact location.
There is a small town at the foot of the Kunlun Mountains called Shahedian.
This place is at the intersection of three provinces, and there are countless merchants and vendors coming and going, with carriages and horses everywhere. It is much larger than an ordinary small town in the Central Plains.
Xiao Ning and Zhang Cuishan arrived at Shahedian and found an inn to stay in order to find out the location of Bright Peak.
Zhang Cuishan walked into the guest room. Xiao Ning glanced at him, slowly finished her practice, got up, got off the bed, and sat down at the table.
Zhang Cuishan picked up the teapot, poured two cups of tea, and respectfully said, "Uncle-Master is truly diligent. He meditates and cultivates whenever he has time. It makes me feel ashamed."
"The path of cultivation boils down to two words: perseverance!"
Xiao Ning smiled and asked, "Let's not talk about that. How's your intelligence gathering going?"
The smile on Zhang Cuishan's face vanished, and he shook his head, saying, "Uncle-Master, please forgive me, but I still haven't found out where Bright Peak is."
Xiao Ning waved his hand: "No rush, we have plenty of time."
"However, this place is not like the Central Plains. The ethnic minorities here are extremely difficult to deal with, and their customs are fierce. Don't cause any trouble!"
"Of course, you should also pay attention to your own safety."
Zhang Cuishan bowed and agreed.

Let me start a new chapter and say a few words from my heart.
Something happened at the end of 2020. I won't go into the reasons, but those who know, know. Fortunately, no one was hurt, and it only cost a little money, which was a stroke of luck amidst misfortune.
It was for this reason that I was forced to stop updating my previous book for more than a month. All the readers left. When I came back, I had no clue what to do. In addition, I was not a full-time reader if I stopped updating for more than 5 days, so I simply decided to end it all and abandon the book.
Although perfect attendance isn't much, it still adds up to a thousand yuan a month.
This is very important for milk tea, which has failed miserably, and I hope everyone can understand.
Eunuchs are morally corrupt, but that's not what I want!
After not touching my phone for over a month, everything felt unfamiliar and strange. I spent over a week browsing new books on the bestseller list, learning new knowledge, and preparing to start a new book.
I've also heard many authors say that the "god-like" and "sign-in" genres are very popular right now, so I've studied them in detail.
I don't understand the God-like style, and I don't know if I can write it.
I managed to sign in, alright, I could barely manage.
Thus, this book, "Signing in Throughout the Myriad Realms," came into being.
It's been over half a month since the book was published on January 18, 2021. To be honest, the results are just average, far worse than the previous book.
Perhaps it's because I've been in the industry for a long time and have developed more ideas. Seeing the big shots making a fortune every day, it's impossible not to feel envious.
I also want to write a hugely popular book and earn more money.
Earning money honestly is nothing to be ashamed of, and there's nothing to be afraid to say.
Unfortunately, my abilities didn't allow it.
How can you not know your own level and capabilities?
I learned a ton of theoretical knowledge, but it was all completely useless.
It's a classic example of something you can understand at first glance, but it's impossible to write down successfully.
Therefore, if the book doesn't perform too badly, I won't abandon it and will definitely continue writing it, aiming to complete it in 3 million words.
Of course, if there are unforeseen circumstances, there's nothing I can do!
A new book is like a seedling, inseparable from the diligent watering of all readers. Daily reading, voting, and chapter reviews are all very important. These data are the only standard for evaluating the performance of a new book before it is released.
After all, if there are no reviews or votes, even if the book performs well, it won't do very well!
Moreover, this data is crucial before the new book goes on sale.
