News of the relic entrance being found quickly spread throughout the Qingyun World. At this moment, the gaze of all cultivators was focused here.
The Ancient Remnant Race was once the most powerful race in the Qingyun World, even daring to contend with the Heavenly Dao.
What was contained within the tombs they left behind was a matter of concern to countless people.
As the Immortal Sect Disciples entered the mountain, the mystery of the relic was suddenly unveiled a layer.
Some Disciples claimed that inside the relic was a vast barren forest, with ancient broken walls and ruins like houses, but as tall as mountains.
And amidst the dense vegetation, some people saw various strange stone statues, covered in moss, with an enigmatic smile.
Others saw obscure and incomprehensible symbols, difficult to discern.
After the Ancient Remnant Race was annihilated by seven ancient sages in conjunction with the Heavenly Dao, the Human Race was still in an ignorant era, and not many records about this period were passed down.
Seeing these stone statues, strange ruins, and mysterious stone carvings at this time, everyone thought they had come to another world.
By the third day, a Disciple who had gone to explore the mountain returned from within the relic, and his words startled all the Immortal Sects and Worldly Families.
So that day, countless Flying Swords hovering above Beisha Town whistled towards the entrance of the relic.
“Treasure, it’s a Treasure Trove for Immortal Ascension.”
“Vast expanses of Spiritual Plants and immortal sprouts, inexhaustible!”
“I feel the Opportunity for Immortal Ascension, as if it’s right before my eyes, in the deepest part, the deepest part…”
Upon hearing the news, more and more Immortal Sect Disciples arrived, and their Realm became higher and higher.
As they delved deeper into the relic, they discovered countless Heaven And Earth Treasures, as if they were worthless, scattered across the barren wilderness.
Soon after, rumors spread that a Disciple from the Mountain and Sea Pavilion had found a vermilion fruit, and after eating it, her body glowed with immortal light.
There was no danger, no killing intent, only omnipresent immortal Opportunity.
But when the immortal Opportunity was thoroughly spread, the accompanying cultivators became the killing intent.
On the fourth day of entering the relic, Evil Qi permeated the barren forest.
Lingjian Mountain Disciple Zhuo Wanqiu, leading three outer-mountain travelers, hurried through the gloomy barren forest, her expression grim.
Unlike other Immortal Sect Disciples, they were mindful of their mission to find fellow Disciples of their Sect and had no intention of seizing treasures.
But then, an Opportunity appeared, catching them off guard.
They found a vermilion fruit deep in the mountain forest, and were subsequently targeted by a group of Chen Clan Disciples.
At this moment, as a tearing sound streaked through the air, a Tong Xuan Realm man landed in front of them, blocking their path.
“Hand over the item.”
“Alright, we can hand it over, but… you must let us leave.”
The Tong Xuan Realm cultivator of the Chen Clan nodded: “Of course, I’m only here for the immortal Opportunity; I don’t want to get my hands stained with blood.”
Zhuo Wanqiu took a deep breath, placed the vermilion fruit on the ground, and slowly retreated.
But at this moment, that Rongdao Realm cultivator suddenly drew his saber, and a Saber Qi mixed with lightning force came at her face.
Zhuo Wanqiu swung her sword to block, was sent flying ten zhang, and heavily crashed into a tree trunk, letting out a muffled groan.
“If I let you go, wouldn’t everyone know that I have this fruit?”
“We are only here to find someone; we won’t speak of it, you can rest assured.”
“Only dead people don’t speak.”
Although the relic, like Qi Ridge Mountain, was filled with Evil Qi in the air, making Spirit Origin circulation sluggish, the Rongdao Realm was always a Rank higher than them.
Seeing the opponent approaching with his saber, Zhuo Wanqiu somewhat regretted picking up this fruit.
However, just as that Rongdao Realm cultivator was about to swing his saber, a Flying Sword suddenly whistled from afar, stirring up countless surging waves of earth.
The Rongdao Realm cultivator reacted extremely quickly, immediately swung his saber to block, and then abruptly turned around with a fierce expression, only to find five more swords rapidly striking from different trajectories, causing him to dodge clumsily.
“Who are you, hiding in the dark? What kind of Immortal Sect Disciple are you?”
“Damn it, he’s quite righteous, let’s get him!”
The Rongdao Realm cultivator’s face changed upon hearing the sound, and he saw the six long swords that had flown out suddenly turn, each executing different Sword Qi techniques.
These six swords seemed to fly in a chaotic manner, but the moment the Sword Qi surged, they locked down all possible dodging spaces, and the sword light bloomed like a hundred flowers.
Dodging and countering, the former naturally conserves more Spiritual Qi, but these six swords clearly didn’t give him that chance.
The Rongdao Realm Disciple of the Chen Clan roared, his Spiritual Qi fully circulated, and he swung his saber, fiercely clashing with the five long swords.
He had already fought several battles before arriving, and his Spiritual Qi was not abundant. The reason he dared to rob the fruit was merely because he saw that these four Lingjian Mountain cultivators had a low Realm and looked tired.
But he never expected there to be others in the forest.
Moreover, there must have been more than five Junior Third Realm Completion cultivators.
“Damn it!”
The Rongdao Realm cultivator cursed fiercely, retreating while fighting with his saber.
The fruit was already in his hands, and he was unwilling to take more risks. The best option was to leave first and recover his Spiritual Qi.
The Rongdao Realm Disciple of the Chen Clan circulated his Spirit Origin, a surge of Qi burst from his body, and his saber light slashed horizontally, directly shaking off the six Flying Swords in mid-air, then he turned and left.
But at this moment, an arrow shot through the wind, directly piercing his chest.
“My brother-in-law, you can actually kill enemies across Realms here?”
“No matter how powerful an expert is, once their Spiritual Qi is exhausted, they have no abilities left. They’re too easy to kill. From now on, I’ll stick to this approach. I don’t believe anyone here can outlast me.”
“Didn’t you say you wouldn’t care about anything after coming in, and only look for my sister?”
“I can’t ignore the Lingjian Mountain Disciples who came to find people.”
Zhuo Wanqiu was now supported by a Disciple, looking at the two people approaching from afar in the forest, her face showing vigilance.
She didn't recognize these two and thought they were also here to seize the fruit, so she led her three fellow Disciples, holding their swords, and continuously retreated.
Junior Third Realm Completion like me?
Zhuo Wanqiu recalled the six whistling long swords, somewhat astonished.
The Spiritual Qi circulation here is so slow; one person controlling six swords would be tantamount to suicide unless they could achieve a one-hit kill.
But what surprised them even more was that after the two arrived, they didn't even glance at the fruit in the Rongdao Realm cultivator's hand. Instead, they pulled out the arrow that had pierced his chest and pinned him to the tree, then turned and left.
“Can the jade plate on you sense your sister’s location?”
“No, the sensing range of this jade plate is limited; it’s only useful when closer.”
“This place is so big, where is considered closer?”
“It won’t be just at the edge, right? I think we should go deeper.”
“Deeper? You’ll have to pay extra for that!”
“My sister is very beautiful…”
“Beautiful still means extra pay!”
Zhuo Wanqiu and the other three Disciples were stunned for a moment, looking at the untouched fruit, at a loss for words.
Everyone who entered this place came for Opportunity.
They never expected that someone would disregard it, merely pulling out the shot arrow.
And in the subsequent period, many cultivators who fell into dangerous situations encountered these two ghost-like figures.
One was constantly asking for more money, and the other looked simple-minded.
