"I would like to go, but it would be inconvenient to travel with your sect!"
Lu Fan shook his head and said, "Since you are not in the sect during the opening of Shenhuang Mountain, I will take my leave now!"
"Does the Lord intend to leave?"
Sect Master Tieshan was slightly taken aback. "The Lord has shown great kindness to the Tieshan Sect. If you leave now, how can the Tieshan Sect ever repay you!"
"You flatter me!"
Lu Fan waved his hand. "It was just a small gesture, Sect Master. You don't need to keep it in mind!"
After speaking, Lu Fan left with Hu Yu. He knew very well that the journey to Shenhuang Mountain this time would be extremely perilous. It might not be a good thing to travel with the people of the Tieshan Sect.
After all, he did not wish to be involved in the conflicts between sects.
After Lu Fan departed, the experts of the Tieshan Sect headed towards Shenhuang Mountain, their hearts filled with excitement. This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and missing it would surely be a lifelong regret.
Shortly after leaving the Tieshan Sect, Hu Yu asked, "Since the Lord is also going to Shenhuang Mountain, why didn't you go with them? Why leave at this time instead!"
"The Tieshan Sect is a sect, after all!"
Lu Fan shook his head. "Sects are driven by interests, and we are ultimately not the same kind of people."
"The Lord is right!"
Hu Yu nodded slightly. "There are only interests between sects. If we traveled with them, it would likely cause a lot of trouble."
As they were talking, a dark mass appeared in the sky, with many experts heading towards Shenhuang Mountain at extreme speed.
Within Shenhuang Mountain, there was the Immortal Fruit, which could lead to sainthood upon consumption. Such a treasure naturally drove people to madness.
Almost all the strong individuals in the Triangle Domain were converging on Shenhuang Mountain. As for the experts from other major super dynasties, they had not yet received the news.
This way, the many strong individuals of the Triangle Domain would be the first to enter Shenhuang Mountain, and also the most likely to obtain the Immortal Fruit.
Not long after, the area outside Shenhuang Mountain was crowded with people. Within the crowd, many individuals were moving back and forth, observing the movements of Shenhuang Mountain.
However, no one dared to enter Shenhuang Mountain. They knew very well that it might not be a good thing to enter rashly.
Although Shenhuang Mountain had opened, no one could guarantee that the killing formations within Shenhuang Mountain had been deactivated.
If the killing formations were still present, even a saint might not be able to escape.
After waiting for a long time, many sects from the Triangle Domain gathered, gazing at each other, but no one entered.
Seeing the scene before him, a white-haired old man smiled faintly and walked directly into Shenhuang Mountain.
He was already old and frail. If he could obtain the Immortal Fruit, perhaps his lifespan could be extended. If not, he probably wouldn't live much longer, so he might as well take a gamble.
Shenhuang Mountain had already opened, and the killing formations must have been deactivated. He did not need to worry too much.
As the white-haired old man stepped in, an old voice echoed in the void, "You young people still have hope. Don't think about entering Shenhuang Mountain. Let us old folks go in!"
The voice slowly came, and a white-haired old man approached, stepping into Shenhuang Mountain without any hesitation. He considered it a great fortune to have lived to see Shenhuang Mountain open.
"Isn't that the Old Ancestor Zhao? He's actually here too!"
A voice rang out from the crowd, with surprise in his eyes. In the entire Triangle Domain, the Zhao family was powerful and could be considered a dominant force, all thanks to this Old Ancestor. This Old Ancestor was a saint who had lived for an unknown number of years.
It was unclear if he was nearing the end of his life, which was why he was so eager to enter Shenhuang Mountain. Saints were completely different from cultivators of other realms; they had transcended ordinary spiritual practitioners.
Therefore, for a family to produce a saint was supreme glory and would elevate the family's status. The Zhao family was a prime example.
After the Old Ancestor Zhao entered Shenhuang Mountain, several other old men, with a resolve to die, rushed in. These individuals were all at the end of their lives. If they could obtain the Immortal Fruit, they could extend their lifespan or even break through to the next realm. For them, this was their last straw.
After a long while, there was no sound from within Shenhuang Mountain. It was unknown whether these old men who had entered Shenhuang Mountain were alive or dead.
"Father, will Old Ancestor be alright?"
Not far away, the young lady of the Zhao family asked, frowning.
She knew very well that as long as the Old Ancestor Zhao was present, the Zhao family's position in the Triangle Domain was as solid as a rock. If the Old Ancestor Zhao were gone, it would be a huge loss for the entire Zhao family.
"I'm not sure either!"
The Head of the Zhao family shook his head. "Let's wait and see. As per Old Ancestor's instructions, we will wait here and not enter Shenhuang Mountain."
"But this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!" Zhao Hanxue frowned. "Within Shenhuang Mountain, there are many treasures, all sorts of heavenly materials and earthly treasures, not just the Immortal Fruit. If we miss this opportunity, the Zhao family will surely be surpassed!"
"There are things you don't understand!"
The Head of the Zhao family shook his head. Shenhuang Mountain was mysterious and unpredictable. Even a saint would not dare to enter rashly. If they entered, their chances of survival would be slim.
Zhao Hanxue was somewhat helpless. She really wanted to enter Shenhuang Mountain, but after her father's words, she became uncertain.
If she rushed in, her father would definitely not agree.
"People die for wealth, birds die for food. We've reached this point, and we can't afford to be so cautious."
A young man from a sect shouted and rushed into Shenhuang Mountain. In the Spirit Realm, to grow, one must rely on opportunities. Those who came from humble backgrounds could only strive to achieve higher cultivation and gain power in the future.
Without powerful cultivation, they would eventually become useless. It was better to take a gamble, and perhaps they could achieve great success.
Seeing many of the younger generation entering Shenhuang Mountain, other sects also became restless. Although Shenhuang Mountain was rich in resources, everyone wanted to obtain them first. With so many people already rushing in, it made them a little anxious.
"Sect Master, should we go in?"
Fei Niao asked, "This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If we miss it, who knows when we will get another chance!"
"Only Old Ancestor Zhao went in. Could it be that the opening of Shenhuang Mountain is just a pretense!" the Sect Master of Tieshan Sect grumbled. "If that's the case, we cannot act rashly, lest we lose our lives and it's not worth the gain."
"As the saying goes, fortune favors the bold. Why is the Sect Master so worried?" Tie Bao said directly. "Why not just go in? If we can obtain the Immortal Fruit, it will be the fortune of our sect!"
