Chapter 1065 Cultivators Gather

 

Just as Bai Konggu said, the news of the anomaly on Sun Island, with a beam of light shooting straight into the sky, quickly spread throughout China through various secular media.

On the internet, videos of the actual scene near Sun Island could be seen everywhere, attracting enormous attention.

Faced with this situation, the secular world discussed it as a rare phenomenon seen once in a century, while the scientific community debated the causes of such an anomaly.

The martial arts world, however, was already stirring.

Because at 4 PM on the 23rd, the Sky Observation Bureau, once again under Bai Konggu’s management, issued an announcement.

The anomaly appearing on Sun Island was very likely a harbinger of a top-tier treasure manifesting in the world.

Once this news spread, the reaction across martial arts communities everywhere was extremely enthusiastic.

They had already been speculating about the anomaly on Sun Island.

Now that the Sky Observation Bureau had issued an announcement confirming the high probability of a top-tier treasure manifesting!

This was an enormous opportunity!

An opportunity belonging to all cultivators in the world!

At once, cultivators confident in their abilities set off for Sun Island.

No cultivator wanted to be a step behind others.

At such a moment, even being slightly ahead might make one the recipient of this opportunity!

As a result, the coastal ports of Dongdu, closest to Sun Island, were occupied by large numbers of cultivators.

Ordinary people from the secular world didn’t even have a chance to observe.

……

At 9:30 AM on the 24th, Fang Yu sat in the hall on the first floor of the bamboo building, eating breakfast.

“Why are massive numbers of cultivators gathering on Sun Island?” Ye Xingxue read aloud softly, holding a newspaper.

Seeing this article, she looked up at Fang Yu, who was sitting opposite her drinking rice porridge, and asked, “Mr. Fang, aren’t you interested in the once-in-a-century phenomenon occurring on Sun Island?”

“Of course I’m interested,” Fang Yu replied.

“Then why are you…” Ye Xingxue looked confused at Fang Yu’s relaxed expression.

According to the newspaper report, over ten thousand cultivators had gathered at Dongdu’s coastal ports, with countless more already on Sun Island.

Fang Yu was interested in Sun Island, yet he was still sitting in his mansion in central Beidu drinking rice porridge…

“I went to survey the site yesterday,” Fang Yu said, picking up a napkin and wiping his mouth. “The time hasn’t come yet. Even if a hundred thousand cultivators go to Sun Island, they can’t do anything but stand there and stare blankly.”

“Then what time should we go, Brother Fang Yu?” Zhao Zinan asked curiously.

“Ten o’clock sharp,” Fang Yu said. “We still have half an hour.”

“Oh,” Zhao Zinan nodded.

After finishing breakfast, Fang Yu leaned back in his bamboo chair, waiting for Su Changge to arrive.

He suddenly remembered something and asked Ye Xingxue, who was clearing the dishes: “How is Violet recovering?”

“Miss Violet is recovering very well,” Ye Xingxue replied. “She feels that her right hand will be completely healed in five days at most.”

“Good,” Fang Yu nodded.

After sitting in the bamboo chair for about ten minutes, Su Changge arrived.

“Boss, we can set off now,” Su Changge said with some urgency.

“There are still seventeen minutes until ten o’clock, why such a hurry?” Fang Yu asked, sipping his freshly brewed hot tea.

Su Changge glanced around, lowered his voice, and asked with an air of importance: “Boss, we’re going for the treasure on Sun Island, right?”

“First, there may not necessarily be a treasure appearing on Sun Island… Second, my main purpose isn’t for the treasure,” Fang Yu said.

“Eh, since we’re going anyway, if we see a treasure, we should get our hands on it! We can’t let others benefit, can we?” Su Changge said. “I’ve received news that many families and sects from Beidu have sent people to Sun Island… even many powerful figures from the Sacred Rankings have emerged!”

“Oh? Is Sun Island that attractive?” Fang Yu asked with confusion.

“Of course!” Su Changge said. “For the past half year, news of heritage sites opening has occasionally spread throughout Yanhsia, but in most cases… they couldn’t attract cultivators from Beidu’s martial arts world, especially those families and sects, let alone the powerful figures on the Sacred Rankings!”

“But this time is different. The beam of light on Sun Island is just too powerful.”

“Those who know the field understand that Sun Island is very likely to have a world-class treasure that appears only once in a thousand years. So, even those powerful figures on the Sacred Rankings couldn’t sit still.”

Fang Yu picked up the newspaper that Ye Xingxue had been reading from the table beside him.

The headline was about the situation on Sun Island.

The photo was taken last night, showing the coastal ports of Dongdu packed with people.

When Fang Yu and Su Changge went there yesterday, it was the same, except that most people there were ordinary humans.

Now, these people were all cultivators.

“It seems the attraction is indeed great…” Fang Yu said.

“Boss, let’s go too. Although it’s not time yet, landing on the island early and finding a good position to seize the treasure can only be beneficial!” Su Changge said.

Fang Yu looked at Su Changge and asked, “You seem very excited at the mention of treasure?”

“This might be my natural disposition… I’ve been like this since I was young,” Su Changge said with an awkward smile.

……

Fang Yu had originally planned to go to Sun Island right on time, but due to Su Changge’s urging, he teleported to Sun Island ten minutes early.

This time, he directly positioned himself in the airspace above Sun Island.

Emerging from the spatial tunnel and seeing the situation before him, despite having mental preparation, a look of surprise still appeared in Fang Yu’s eyes.

There were simply too many people.

On the island below, except for the central position where the beam of light emanated, many cultivators stood on all other open spaces. Their cultivation levels varied from low to high, the lowest being at the Foundation Establishment stage, the highest at the Integration stage.

There were many cultivators standing on the island, and in the airspace above Sun Island floated countless more.

Fang Yu roughly estimated that the cultivators on Sun Island and in the air combined would not be fewer than five thousand.

This indeed exceeded Fang Yu’s imagination.

Just as Su Changge had said, throughout this year, heritage sites had opened all over Yanhsia, and Fang Yu had personally visited several… yet he had never encountered so many cultivators.

This time, the anomaly on Sun Island seemed to have attracted the attention of cultivators from all over Yanhsia.

“Damn… there are even more people than I imagined,” Su Changge looked around and said in surprise.

Fang Yu was about to speak when he felt a divine sense sweep over him.

This divine sense directly enveloped Fang Yu.

Fang Yu turned his head to look to the left.

There stood an old man wearing a plain Taoist robe.

At this moment, he was staring at Fang Yu, his eyes full of hostility.

Even when Fang Yu turned to make eye contact with him, his gaze didn’t waver; he continued to stare directly at Fang Yu.

“This person’s cultivation is at the late stage of Integration, he should be someone from the Sacred Rankings,” Fang Yu smiled slightly at the old man.

The old man’s gaze was gloomy, his face stern, with no response whatsoever.

“This person is…” Su Changge saw this person, and his face darkened.

“Who is he?” Fang Yu asked.

“He’s a good friend of Tianlun Immortal, Quanhai Immortal,” Su Changge said gravely.

“Old Tianlun’s friend? No wonder his gaze is so unfriendly,” Fang Yu said.

At this moment, Quanhai Immortal’s gaze shifted from Fang Yu to Su Changge.

Making eye contact with Su Changge, Quanhai Immortal’s gaze grew even colder, even revealing obvious killing intent.

Su Changge did not avoid it, just confronting Quanhai Immortal like this.

Quanhai Immortal tugged at the corner of his mouth, revealing a stiff smile, then his figure flashed, disappearing from Fang Yu and Su Changge’s sight.

“He fled quite quickly. If he had looked for two more seconds, I would have approached him,” Fang Yu smiled.

Su Changge also turned his head back, no longer paying attention to Quanhai Immortal.

This person ranked fourteenth on the Sacred Rankings, with extremely strong power.

But with Fang Yu present, this level of strength didn’t count for much, and there was no need to fear.

At this moment, it was 9:50 AM.

According to that document, in ten minutes… the formation here would activate.

What would happen then, Fang Yu did not know.

If a treasure really appeared, with so many cultivators present fighting for it, the scene would definitely be extremely spectacular.

As Fang Yu and Su Changge observed the surroundings, waiting for the formation to activate.

Many cultivators from Beidu in the vicinity noticed Fang Yu.

“Look… isn’t that Fang Yu!?”

“It really is him!”
