“Even if the Demon Domain is strong, it is still one of the Top Ten Super Sects. There are rules in this grand Sect competition; they wouldn’t dare to seal off this entrance.”
At One Slash Palace’s side, a young man dressed in white spoke, holding a long knife in his hand. The long knife was pitch black and was slowly being sheathed by him.
That slash that had just occurred was evidently delivered by him.
In his speech, there was a mix of sarcasm. Even though he didn’t make his point completely clear, none of those disciples were fools; they could easily discern the undertone of his words.
Clearly, it wasn’t the light barrier that stopped them. What really stopped them was their own greed!
“This youth is not bad.”
Eastern Ancestor glanced at the young man in white, a smile playing on his lips.
Of course, it was just a compliment and nothing more.
Yet such a compliment made the faces of the other Sects’ leaders look a bit more unpleasant.
“Whoosh!”
Just then, another ten people from One Slash Palace stepped forward.
Their actions were coordinated, their movements swift. They drew their long knives from behind their backs and directly slashed towards the entrance.
Seeing this scene, the pupils of disciples from other Sects shrank, and they were immediately filled with rage.
“One Slash Palace, you just broke the light barrier, and that slash could be considered justified. But now, are you planning to strike at us?!”
“These One Slash Palace bastards are too arrogant!”
“Damn it, once we enter the Mountain of the Divine Medicine, we’ll make One Slash Palace regret this!”
Many angry words like these were uttered by those disciples, but they were just talking and didn’t actually make a move.
As a full ten streaks of sword light descended, the disciples hastily moved to the side, and as those ten slashes struck down, they converged at a single point. Once they reached that point, they surprisingly merged into a single stroke!
This one stroke of sword light bridged from the platform of One Slash Palace to the entrance of the Mountain of the Divine Medicine. As it appeared, the people from One Slash Palace didn’t say another word and just stepped in. In an instant, their thirty thousand figures vanished from the platform.
“Boom!”
At that moment, the sword light shattered and turned into nothingness.
And the people from One Slash Palace appeared at the entrance of the Mountain of the Divine Medicine, leaving nothing but countless retreating figures for the other Sects.
“These scoundrels!”
“One Slash Palace is making enemies with us all!”
“Cut the nonsense and quickly enter; even if we don’t get those Spiritual Objects, neither One Slash Palace nor the Demon Domain should get them either!”
The disciples spoke up again, either cursing or roaring, causing Eastern Ancestor to shake his head continuously.
“Do you hear that? These are the disciples of the Top Ten Super Sects of our time?”
Eastern Ancestor’s gaze swept over those leaders as he spoke indifferently, “They are foolish. After One Slash Palace broke the light barrier, they failed to utter even a word of gratitude. They fight over it, and when they see One Slash Palace’s sword light form a pathway, they just curse and shout. With such character, how can they talk of benevolence, speak of righteousness?”
“What you disdain as acts of the Demon Domain are not acts of righteousness but merely for saving your own face; it’s not worth it, not worth it at all…”
When he spoke, he did so without hesitation, and without a trace of euphemism.
Apart from the leaders of the Demon Domain and One Slash Palace, other Sect leaders like Jin Lan, Duanmu Lin, and Liushui Kuanghan all had darkened faces, as if they were about to drip water.
“Whether it’s righteousness, benevolence, despicableness, malevolence, or ruthlessness, as long as they can contend for the top nine positions, I will naturally grant them the inheritance they deserve,” said Eastern Ancestor, and this statement made the complexions of those leaders look a lot better.
Eastern Ancestor was known to be very protective and straightforward, speaking his mind freely.
Even though he felt that the actions of these disciples went against what he had in mind, in the end, it was all still a matter of strength.
The Demon Domain may have entered swiftly, and the One Slash Palace might be potent, but in the end, whether or not they can obtain items like the Divine Refining Herb is still uncertain.
The actions of the One Slash Palace and the Demon Domain seemed to have enlightened the disciples of these Sects.
Although they were still competing, they no longer had the desperate eagerness to force their way inside.
After about five minutes, a total of three hundred thousand people had all vanished at the entrance of the Mountain of the Divine Medicine.
“Alright,”
Updat𝓮d from frёewebnoѵēl.com.
Eastern Ancestor said, “Now that they have all entered, this old man will seal the entrance. This half-year is the time for the Sect competition; apart from the Top Ten Super Sects, no one else may enter!”
These words were clearly intended for the loose cultivators gathered around.
The loose cultivators would also discuss among themselves and spread the news far and wide.
With the Top Ten Super Sects and the Eastern Ancestor’s seal, no one, it seemed to everyone, would dare to forcefully enter.
“Buzz~”
The Eastern Ancestor made a move, and his palm transformed to reveal a Bagua Rune.
That rune, flashing with a heart-thumping light, grew rapidly in size as the Eastern Ancestor waved his hand. Eventually, it moved slowly toward the entrance.
This rune was not particularly formidable, but it could certainly not be overcome by anyone in the Dragon God Realm. A Pseudo-Emperor of the same level could easily shatter it.
However, no one dared to shatter this rune, for this place was under the watch of the Top Ten Super Sects and the Eastern Ancestor!
“Whoosh!”
The speed of the rune was not very fast, but since it wasn’t far from the entrance of the Mountain of the Divine Medicine, it only took a moment for the rune to reach the entrance.
Just as it was about to seal the entrance, at that moment—
Ten kilometers away, in a cave, Su Han’s eyes flickered, and suddenly he raised his finger, pointing ever so slightly towards the void.
“Stop!”
As the word fell, his complexion instantly paled.
This single syllable, this mere gesture, completely devoured the Dragon Power within Su Han’s body, and it nearly drained all of his Fifth Order Grand Magus Cultivation Base!
Following Su Han’s pointing gesture, the area within a radius of ten thousand li was abruptly immobilized!
The heavens and earth became utterly silent at that moment; time itself seemed to have come to a complete standstill.
It was a true cessation!
On Eastern Ancestor’s face, his faint smile was frozen at that moment, while the expressions of the leaders of the Super Sects—whether they were talking, frowning, looking sullen, or staying calm—remained unchanged.
The myriad of onlookers, some appearing to speak, some engaging in various activities, some whose eyes shone, some who were still in awe, some showing envy, and some with faces full of jealousy.
Everything came to a halt at that instant.
Including the Immortal Crane beneath Eastern Ancestor, which had its wings spread, seemingly stretching like a human.
It, too, stopped in its tracks.
Centered around Su Han’s Cave Mansion, everything within a radius of ten thousand li, all the scenes, all the figures, every event, seemed frozen in time, like a painting.
And at that exact instant, Su Han rose to his feet, his step on the ground turning him into a streak of light as he directly passed through the entrance into the Mountain of the Divine Medicine.
The moment he entered, the halted time resumed its flow.
The rune gradually fell, completely sealing off the entrance to the Mountain of the Divine Medicine.
The expressions on the faces of Eastern Ancestor and the others showed no change.
It was as if none of this had ever happened.
