The two of them, Ye Feng, hidden in the grass, were overjoyed to see this scene.
"Haha, Big Brother, you're so wicked! But I love it!"
Wang Man couldn't help but laugh heartily as he watched.
Hearing this, Ye Feng gave him a sideways glance and said, "Alright, let's hurry to our destination! Otherwise, we won't even see a shadow of the treasure!"
"Okay!"
And so, while the Qing Xuan Sect and the Netherworld Palace were locked in a fierce battle, Ye Feng and Wang Man sneaked away, heading towards the pillar of light.
They traveled at full speed and it took them a good half an hour to reach the location.
Upon closer inspection, the pillar of light was emanating from a massive canyon fissure, illuminating the entire canyon.
After arriving, the two of them quietly hid amongst the crowd.
They saw that the area outside the canyon fissure was filled with people, all of whom were cultivators. There were at least several hundred, if not a thousand.
Some were flying on their swords, hovering in mid-air.
Others were actually flying on beasts, with immortal cranes or spirit birds beneath them.
Still others were riding in magical artifacts that looked like gourds, appearing quite imposing...
Ye Feng couldn't help but sigh at the sight, remarking that the cultivation world was truly just like in the novels.
At this moment, Wang Man asked a burly middle-aged man in front of them, "Brother, what's going on? Why isn't anyone moving?"
Logically, with a treasure appearing, shouldn't everyone be rushing to seize it?
Why were they all just standing there, silent, which he found very confusing.
The burly man replied, "I'm not entirely sure, but I heard the time isn't right yet!"
"The time isn't right yet?" Ye Feng murmured, puzzled.
The burly man continued, "That's right! Previously, a strong cultivator in the Grandmaster middle stage wanted to go down and investigate, but he was directly blasted into nothingness by this pillar of light!"
Hiss!
That's terrifying!
A Grandmaster middle stage cultivator, reduced to nothingness?
Upon hearing this, Ye Feng and Wang Man's faces immediately turned grim.
"Others speculate that we should wait until this pillar of light disappears before we can enter!" the burly man added.
Wang Man quickly said, "Oh, I see, thank you, old brother!"
"You're welcome!" the burly man replied.
After listening to the burly man, Ye Feng looked at the pillar of light and indeed noticed that its intensity was much weaker than when it first appeared.
Therefore, they could only wait patiently like everyone else.
As they waited, more and more people arrived, followed by exclamations of surprise.
"Look quickly, that's a super force, people from Wudang Mountain!"
"That's right, look at their clothes, they have the Wudang Mountain emblem on them!"
"I didn't expect even a super force like Wudang Mountain to come. It seems this treasure won't be easy to obtain..."
Ye Feng turned to look upon hearing this and immediately saw a group of people flying on swords approaching from a distance.
These people exuded a powerful aura and had proud expressions, clearly not to be trifled with.
Before he could observe them closely, more exclamations arose.
"Look over here, it seems to be people from Longhu Mountain!"
"Damn, it really is the prodigies of Longhu Mountain, and there are quite a few of them!"
"My goodness, it seems this treasure is no ordinary item, since people from Longhu Mountain have come..."
Ye Feng looked intently upon hearing this and noticed that the people from Longhu Mountain were also dressed exceptionally uniformly.
Each of them possessed unfathomable and incredibly powerful auras.
At this moment, Wang Man stroked his chin and said, "Since Longhu Mountain and Wudang Mountain have both arrived, the people from Kunlun Mountain should not be absent either!"
However, as soon as he finished speaking, a group of people flying through the air arrived from another direction.
They did not rely on any magical artifacts, nor did they ride any spirit birds; they simply flew through the air, which was quite astonishing.
Kunlun Mountain, Wudang Mountain, and Longhu Mountain are currently ranked as the three great mountains and belong to the six super forces.
However, Ye Feng could clearly feel that the people from Kunlun Mountain gave him a stronger impression than those from Wudang Mountain and Longhu Mountain.
As time passed, more and more people arrived. Besides the three super forces, people from first, second, and third-tier forces also appeared.
Among them, Ye Feng and Wang Man saw people from the Qing Xuan Sect and the Netherworld Palace, but the condition of both sides seemed somewhat amiss.
Whether it was the Qing Xuan Sect or the Netherworld Palace, everyone had injuries on their faces, clearly not lightly wounded.
"I wonder if they won their fight!" Wang Man laughed heartily upon seeing this.
Ye Feng glanced and said, "Haha, I reckon neither side gained much!"
While Ye Feng and Wang Man were secretly amused, the people from the Qing Xuan Sect and the Netherworld Palace were constantly searching through the crowd.
But at this moment, Ye Feng and Wang Man had deliberately hidden themselves in the crowd, making it impossible for them to be found immediately.
Soon, the number of cultivators gathered here grew, and within a short time, it reached over a thousand.
"A thousand cultivators! Tsk tsk, this scene is unusually grand!" Ye Feng couldn't help but exclaim.
Even for him, this was the first time he had witnessed such a magnificent spectacle!
However, Wang Man laughed and said, "Hmph, what's this? Our sect alone has no less than a thousand disciples, so I'm quite used to it!"
"Your sect has no less than a thousand disciples? By the way, which sect are you from?" Ye Feng suddenly asked curiously.
Hearing this, Wang Man chuckled awkwardly, "Uh, that, that..."
Boom!!!
Just as Wang Man was stammering and unsure how to answer, the ground suddenly began to shake.
The sensation was like a magnitude five or six earthquake, swaying back and forth, causing many people to fall.
As everyone wondered what was happening, the light within the great canyon fissure in front of them suddenly dimmed.
And the light was disappearing at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Before long, the pillar of light that had shot up into the sky vanished, replaced by a dark vortex.
"The time has come!"
Suddenly, someone shouted, and then people began to rush into the dark vortex recklessly.
Seeing this, Ye Feng and Wang Man also hurried to investigate, but they did not rush in immediately.
"Didn't they say a treasure appeared? Why is it a dark vortex!" Ye Feng said with some confusion.
Wang Man explained, "It is indeed a treasure appearing, but that treasure should be in an ancient space behind this vortex!"
Ye Feng was surprised, "Ancient space? What is that?"
"It's a small world created by supreme powerhouses from ancient times!" Wang Man said.
This statement surprised Ye Feng again, and he couldn't help but say, "Someone who can create a small world, what kind of powerful existence must that be? Not a Grandmaster, surely? At least a Heavenly Human Realm, right!"
Hearing Ye Feng's words, Wang Man immediately gave him a look as if he were an idiot.
The next second, he said, "A Heavenly Human Realm wouldn't even be worthy of carrying their shoes!"
"What? A Heavenly Human Realm isn't even worthy of carrying their shoes?" Ye Feng found it hard to believe.
As far as he knew, the Heavenly Human Realm seemed to be the most powerful.
Wang Man explained, "The Heavenly Human Realm is considered strong in our current era! In ancient times, they were merely little nobodies who had just stepped onto the true path of cultivation!"
