Ye Wushuang, Bai Siqi, and the others did not linger any longer and set off towards the front.
Ultimately, after crossing a range of high mountains, a terrifying surge of energy came rushing towards them. The group stood atop the mountain peak, gazing ahead with eyes wide in astonishment, rooted to the spot.
A vast expanse of land, spanning dozens of miles, was enclosed by a continuous stretch of mountain ranges. At the center of this open space stood five towering mountains, resembling a human hand with fingers pointing towards the sky. The central peak soared to a height of a thousand zhang, while the shortest was still over three hundred zhang tall.
Moreover, on the surrounding mountain peaks, figures were stationed, and a cursory glance revealed that there were already more than a thousand people. They were representatives from various factions.
Yu Yourong looked around and exclaimed in surprise, “The Sword Pavilion, the Infinite Alliance, Qingyang Hall, Xuan Tian Mansion, Tianbao Chamber of Commerce, Tianyuan Pavilion, Yun Family… almost everyone is here.”
Beside him, Bao Qiuling remarked, “It seems that everyone has realized that the unusual activity within the Burial Saint Cave is closely related to this place.”
The others nodded in agreement.
The group of more than twenty people had just arrived when several figures hurried over. The leader was a young man in his twenties, wearing a jade crown and green boots, with a handsome appearance.
“Qiuling!” “Yun’er!”
The young man went straight to Bao Qiuling and Bao Yun’er, letting out a sigh of relief. “I’ve finally found you.”
“Brother,” Bao Qiuling smiled at him.
“Senior He!” The young man looked at He Lao beside them and was taken aback. “Senior He, what happened to you?”
“Humph,” Bao Qiuling replied, “It’s all because of the Yun Family’s mischief. This matter is far from over.”
“Fortunately, Young Master Ye came to our rescue, or you wouldn’t have seen Yun’er and me again.”
“The Yun Family?” The young man’s brows furrowed.
Bao Qiuling then introduced, “Brother, this is Young Master Ye Wushuang, who saved our lives.”
“Young Master Ye, this is my brother, Bao Qiu Feng.”
Bao Qiu Feng bowed to Ye Wushuang and said, “Thank you, Young Master Ye.”
“It was nothing,” Ye Wushuang replied modestly.
Bao Qiuling then said, “Young Master Ye, I’ll go explain the situation to my father and the others first.”
“Go ahead,” Ye Wushuang nodded.
Bao Qiu Feng led Bao Qiuling, Bao Yun’er, He Ding, and the others away.
At that moment,
Yu Yourong tugged at Ye Wushuang’s sleeve, signaling him to look in the other direction.
There,
A group of over a hundred people from the Sword Pavilion had gathered. Leading them was none other than the current Pavilion Master, Xu Mingxiu, a figure who had reached the peak of the Star-Plucking Transcendence realm. Beside Xu Mingxiu were the Pavilion Elder, Xing Hanwen, the Sword Sky Guard Commander, Ge Bei, and numerous other inner cabinet elders. Meanwhile, the Qi Family members were also with the Sword Pavilion group. The Qi Family’s patriarch, Qi Zhenzhong, as well as the second and third elders, Qi Zhen Tian and Qi Zhen Shan, were all present.
As for the Yun Family from Yuntian Mountain and the Infinite Alliance, they had positioned themselves on another mountain peak.
When Ye Wushuang’s gaze fell upon the Sword Pavilion and the Qi Family, several pairs of eyes turned towards him as well. The most hostile look came from Qi Zhen Shan, who had previously fled in a disheveled state. Seeing Ye Wushuang again, he was filled with an intense desire for revenge.
At the same time, someone from the Yun Family was also staring coldly at Ye Wushuang. It was clear that the Yun Family was aware of the deaths of Yun Hongda and Yun Tengtian, the son of the Yun Family patriarch. The Yun Family would not let these matters go unaddressed.
In summary, Ye Wushuang’s sudden appearance seemed to set many people’s nerves on edge.
At that moment, from the side of a mountain peak, a voice laughed heartily, “Little Ye, come over here!”
Ye Wushuang looked over and smiled, then led Bai Siqi and the others to join the group. This group was none other than the cultivators from the Xuan Tian Mansion. The Mansion’s senior leaders were all present: Xuan Tian Sheng, Xuan Tian Di, Xuan Qing Yi, Mu Ge, along with numerous elders at the Star-Plucking Transcendence level and experts in the Self-Forgetfulness Realm, totaling over a hundred people.
“Young man, I heard that your Holy Sky Sect and the Lin family had all been scattered. I was worried about you, but it seems you’re fine,” Xuan Tian Sheng said with a chuckle. “Yin Shenghao and Elder Su had instructed me to take good care of you. Come with us when we leave!”
Ye Wushuang couldn’t help but ask, “Have you seen any other members of the Holy Sky Sect or the Lin family?”
Xuan Tian Sheng shook his head and said, “We were also forced to scatter due to the various dangers within the Burial Saint Cave. It’s only been these past few days that we’ve managed to gather here.”
Ye Wushuang felt a bit worried. After all, the Burial Saint Cave was extremely dangerous, and even those at the Star-Plucking Transcendence level could not be entirely safe. Moreover, there were hostile forces like the Sword Pavilion and the Qi Family watching closely.
Ye Wushuang had noticed earlier that the number of cultivators from many families and factions had decreased, and several Star-Plucking Transcendence cultivators were missing. His own journey had seemed relatively safe only because he had been to the Burial Saint Cave before and could avoid many of the dangers as much as possible.
“Don’t worry,” Xuan Tian Di said with a smile. “They might not be in danger; perhaps they just haven’t come here yet.”
“Hmm…”
Then, Ye Wushuang looked towards the open space surrounded by the mountain ranges.
“The Five-Finger Mountains…”
“Oh, we gathered here based on the seismic activity and the bursts of light. Everyone has carefully investigated and concluded that the Five-Finger Mountains are the entrance to a void land,” Xuan Tian Sheng explained.
A void land?
Bai Siqi, Yu Yourong, and the others were quite surprised.
In fact, Ye Wushuang already knew about this. As the Spiritual Sage of the Heavens in the past, he had come to the Five-Finger Mountains and sealed the blood-haired, blue-eyed monster right here. However, more than a thousand years had passed, and apart from the Five-Finger Mountains, everything else here was completely different from what it used to be.
Ye Wushuang had no idea what changes had occurred over these years.
“A void land must have been created by a sage…” Bai Siqi murmured at this moment.
“That’s correct,” Xuan Tian Sheng said, looking at Bai Siqi with some surprise. “A void sacred space is a stable area, but upon close examination, it still has differences from the outside world. A void land, on the other hand, is formed by a sage’s condensation. Inside, it has its own universe, and it looks almost identical to the outside world. It can even evolve sun, moon, mountains, and rivers.”
Xuan Tian Di laughed and said, “If there really is a void land, it proves that a sage has once descended here and left traces. Our trip here hasn’t been in vain!”
This was extremely exciting news. After all, why had the leaders of all the top factions come this time? It was all for the legends within the Burial Saint Cave. With Yin Shenghao and Xu Ziyin both breaking through to the Saintly Heavenly Realm, the balance of power on the Central Continent had already been disrupted. Therefore, all the Star-Plucking Transcendence peak cultivators were eagerly seeking ways to become Saintly Heavenly Realm cultivators. Now, the possibility was right in front of them!
Even someone like Xuan Tian Sheng, who had reached the peak, cared deeply about this.
“Opportunity and danger coexist…” Ye Wushuang murmured softly.
“Hehe…” Xuan Tian Sheng laughed and said, “At this point, if we can’t take another step forward, we might not even be able to protect what we have now.”
Upon hearing this, Ye Wushuang looked at Xuan Tian Sheng in surprise and asked, “Senior Mansion Lord already knows?”
“Knows what?” Xuan Tian Sheng looked at Ye Wushuang curiously.
And at that moment,
From the other side of the mountain range, atop another peak, a loud voice rang out.
“Ye Wushuang, you dare to show up!” The voice, filled with accusation and coldness, echoed through the mountains and forests.
