Chapter 456: Chapter 324: Entering the Secret Realm, Ancient Mirror Probing!
"Everyone, within five days, make sure to head to Treasure Burial Lake!"
As they were about to enter the Secret Realm, the voice of an old Daoist’s warning echoed in their ears.
...
...
The void was silent, anomalies vanished, and the phantom image of Spirit Treasure Cliff disappeared as if it had never appeared.
Meanwhile, at East Qiao Mountain, a thousand miles away, there was a Spirit Peak.
Ancient trees stood atop the peak, coiled like dragons; under one tree that stood tall like a sword, there was a stone table.
On either side of the stone table, three figures exuding deep Qi were drinking tea and conversing.
In the center of the three, there was a Treasure Mirror seemingly cast from glaze, with mysterious and ancient patterns. Inside the mirror, waves shimmered, reflecting a solitary peak.
Judging by its appearance, it was East Qiao Mountain.
"Talents emerge in every generation of the world. This time, Spirit Treasure Cliff is truly a gathering of storms. These six people have methods far surpassing ordinary cultivators. I wonder if they can be the pioneers for us and retrieve the Spiritual Treasure from the Secret Realm..."
To the north of the stone table, a middle-aged Python Robe Cultivator, wearing a Treasure Crown, looked at the scene in the mirror with a slight sigh.
"We’ve waited three hundred years, waiting this much longer isn’t a big deal; why rush..."
To the south of the stone table, a defiant young man with a pair of horns on his head waved dismissively.
"We can indeed wait, but I’m afraid Fellow Daoist Infant Fox can’t wait any longer..."
At these words, the Python Robe Cultivator laughed heartily and looked towards an elder on the west side of the stone table, whose face was aged, emanating a sense of dusk.
When the elder heard this, he wasn’t angry, just responded mildly, "The contestants for the Spiritual Treasure this time are not ordinary, especially Songg Yuyang of Divine Will Sect. If he obtains the Spiritual Treasure, would you dare to snatch it from him?"
As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere on the Spirit Peak immediately froze.
The Divine Will Sect, an upper-class Major Sect with four Daoist Embryos overseeing it, holding sway for hundreds of thousands of miles, was no joke.
Although they were late-stage Great Demons, dominating the Great Marsh, they were no match for such a sect.
"In my view, Songg Yuyang may not be the one to ultimately obtain the Spiritual Treasure. That Gua Daoist is deep and strategic, seemingly having backup plans, Songg Yuyang may not surpass him!"
After a moment of silence, the Python Robe Cultivator suddenly spoke.
"Oh? Do you think that Gua Daoist is truly a Loose Cultivator?"
"Divine Will Sect is a Major Sect, but isn’t Celestial Heart Sect a Major Sect as well?"
The elder took a sip of tea, maintaining a calm expression.
"That Daoist is a disciple of Celestial Heart Sect?"
Upon hearing this, the defiant young man with horns also showed a slight change in expression.
"The Path of Divination is no small path. Making a move against him, the Daoist Embryos within Celestial Heart Sect would immediately know, and fleeing throughout the Great Marsh, it would still be hard to escape the law!"
The elder’s tone was flat, yet the faces of the other two became noticeably unpleasant.
"What about the Sword Cultivator then?"
"This person’s methods are exceptionally strong, rarely seen in life, and also able to contest for the Spiritual Treasure!"
The Python Robe Cultivator inquired further.
"The Yin Yang Sword Seal, though not seen for many years, have you all forgotten its magnificence?"
"Although the Thousand Waves Sect has been weak in external conflicts over the years, Master Cangming is no pushover; even with Shenyi here, we would not bear his wrath..."
The elder once again drank tea, his tone placid.
But the faces of the other two were exceedingly grim.
"In this Great Marsh, is everyone a person of background? No one is easy to provoke!"
The Python Robe Cultivator exclaimed angrily.
"Without background, who dares to tread this muddy water? Do you truly think these people are foolish?"
"If provoked, it’s just a matter of being able to bear the cost!"
The elder responded with a faint smile.
"Then according to you, what should be done? Are we just to watch them take the Spiritual Treasure from our territory?"
The Python Robe Cultivator demanded.
"If I have it, I am fortunate; if I lose it, it is my fate. It is still unknown what the Spiritual Treasure of Spirit Treasure Cliff truly is, so why scheme here?"
"Fostering connections and cultivating, is not necessarily impossible!"
"Fostering connections and cultivating, you intend to make him a Guardian?"
The Python Robe Cultivator’s eyes flashed and he immediately said.
"Why not?"
"Your fox offspring might not agree!"
The Python Robe Cultivator sneered.
The elder did not answer, only looked towards the ancient mirror.
