Ye Wushuang also felt that his gaze was somewhat inappropriate, so he quickly turned around and looked to the other side.
The leaders of the top forces were still engaged in a verbal battle. However, at this point, everyone had seen through the situation. It was an undeniable fact that the Lingjian Pavilion had indeed united with the Qi family, the Yun family, and the Wujie Alliance. But what did the Lingjian Pavilion truly intend to achieve with this move?
In the past, no one dared to provoke the Lingjian Pavilion because of its formidable strength. Moreover, everyone believed that they were not inferior and that the Lingjian Pavilion posed no real threat to them. But now… things were different. It seemed that the Lingjian Pavilion had other motives.
After a long debate, the five-fingered mountain, which had been shrouded in a radiant glow reaching up to the sky, no longer seemed to hold everyone’s attention. Suddenly, a gentle voice rang out, reaching everyone’s ears: “Let’s all calm down, shall we?”
All eyes turned towards the direction where the Lingjian Pavilion’s members were standing. It was Xu Mingxiu, the head of the Lingjian Pavilion, a person who had reached the great perfection of the Star-Picking Realm. He seemed to have finally had enough of the quarreling.
“There is no need for everyone to be so nervous,” Xu Mingxiu said calmly. “Our cooperation with the Qi family, Yun family, and Wujie Alliance is simply based on the idea of enhancing our collective strength. There is no other intention behind it.”
“Recently, the Tian Dao Palace and the Sheng Tian Sect have also been getting closer. This is all quite normal, isn’t it?”
“We have all gathered here because of the unusual activity in the Burial Saint Cave. Now, with the existence of the virtual land in the Five-Finger Mountain, I believe no one wants to keep arguing endlessly, right?”
Upon hearing this, everyone fell silent.
“The entrance to the virtual land is about to open. I think everyone has noticed on the way here…” Xu Mingxiu continued, “Only true saints can create virtual lands. Those who have reached the Saintly Heaven Realm can only create virtual spaces.”
“This virtual land is extremely stable. We are here to seek treasures, not to quarrel, right?”
Many people stopped speaking. After all, this was the Burial Saint Cave, not the outside world. No matter how fiercely they argued here, no one would really start a fight. There were over a thousand warriors from the top forces gathered here, with hundreds of them at the Star-Picking Realm. If a real battle were to break out, it would truly be earth-shattering. No one was prepared for a full-scale war.
Moreover, at the moment, it was only the Lingjian Pavilion that had united with the other three parties, posing a certain threat. However, this threat had not yet been unleashed.
Xu Mingxiu’s gaze was calm as he scanned the surroundings before speaking again: “The entrance to the virtual land is about to open. Instead of arguing, let’s join forces and enter first.”
“I have no objections,” said Qi Zhenzhong, the head of the Qi family, in a clear and resonant voice.
Everyone looked at Qi Zhenzhong and inwardly sneered. Of course he had no objections. The Qi family was known to be a lackey of the Lingjian Pavilion, a fact that everyone was aware of.
From the Tianyuan Pavilion, the head, Tianyuan Bai, laughed and said, “I have no objections either.”
Similarly, Meng Meilian, the second palace master leading the Tiandao Palace, also nodded gently.
Soon, there were no more disagreements among the crowd.
The top figures from the top forces, all at the great perfection of the Star-Picking Realm, stepped forward one by one, with Xu Mingxiu at the lead, descending above the Five-Finger Mountain.
“Let’s begin!” As Xu Mingxiu’s words fell, he clenched his palm, and the thick spiritual energy around him roared like a stormy sea, surging outwards. His very presence exuded a profound and majestic aura, as solid as a mountain and as deep as the ocean.
Seeing this, Bai Siqi couldn’t help but exclaim in surprise, “Xu Mingxiu’s position as the head of the Lingjian Pavilion is not merely because his father, Xu Ziyin, is the grand elder of the Lingjian Pavilion.”
The Star-Picking Realm has six levels, and those who reach the great perfection level all have the potential to break through to the Saintly Heaven Realm. Clearly, Xu Mingxiu was not far from achieving that breakthrough.
Soon, one by one, the other renowned figures of the continent, such as Meng Meilian, Xuan Tianxiong, the master of the Qingxuan Hall, and the head of the Tianyuan Pavilion, Tianyuan Bai, stepped forward, their spiritual energy raging within them.
The rest of the crowd stood around, watching intently.
This time, apart from the grand elder of the Lingjian Pavilion, Xu Ziyin, the Shengtian Sect’s Siliu Yi, Su Chenyang, Yin Shenghao, and the Tian Dao Palace’s Tian Haoqi, the grand palace master, who did not come, almost all the leaders of the top and first-class forces were present.
However, at this point, Ye Wushuang was increasingly worried that he still hadn’t seen anyone from the Lin family or the Shengtian Sect.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Deafening roars echoed continuously, and a terrifying aura lingered in the air. Everyone felt a sense of dread enveloping them.
In an instant, an overwhelmingly powerful energy, like a tidal wave, rippled outwards in wave-like patterns. A deep, resonant hum sounded at that moment. The radiance of the Five-Finger Mountain began to dissipate, with layers upon layers of undulating waves slowly receding.
Then, the towering Five-Finger Mountain began to tremble violently and eventually collapsed with a thunderous crash. As the peaks crumbled and shattered, amidst the ruins and debris, a massive portal appeared out of nowhere. The portal, towering hundreds of feet high, was an ancient, verdant color, exuding a sacred and refreshing aura.
The portal hovered in mid-air, shimmering with light. Then, the collapsed rubble transformed into a series of steps, stretching down to the ground.
Now, as everyone looked on, their expressions were filled with a mix of awe and tension. This was the virtual land left behind by the saints. For everyone present, the virtual land was something they had only heard about. It was said to be like the outside world, with its own heavens, sun and moon, mountains and rivers, forests, deserts, and many opportunities left by the saints.
Hearing about it was one thing. Seeing it with their own eyes was another.
Xu Mingxiu looked at the portal to the virtual land. Although he appeared calm on the surface, the longing in his eyes could not be concealed.
“From here on, everyone is on their own,” he declared, waving his hand. “Lingjian Pavilion warriors, move out.”
In the next moment, the warriors of the Lingjian Pavilion began to ascend the steps. As Xu Mingxiu stood before the portal and gently pushed the ancient, weathered doors, they slowly creaked open…
