As the Hundred Seedlings of the Federation woke up one by one, they were like Wang Baole. When they saw the people around them, they were instantly on their guard and instinctively moved closer to each other. Whether they were willing or not, they instinctively gathered behind Wang Baole.
On one hand, it was clear that everyone had left their homes on the ancient greenish-bronze sword, so they had to stick together. On the other hand, even if they didn't want to admit it, they knew how strong Wang Baole was. Therefore, at this moment, Wang Baole's existence didn't require any words or actions. He had already become the leader of the group.
That was especially so for Kongdao, Zhuo Yifan, and Zhao Yameng. Although the three of them were prodigies, they also stood beside Wang Baole at this moment, looking at the Vast Expanse Dao Palace cultivators around them cautiously.
For a moment, the entire teleportation formation was silent.
However, the silence didn't last for long. As the Vast Expanse Dao Palace cultivators all had different expressions on their faces, a long rainbow quickly appeared from the mountain top in the distance. It was so fast that it stirred up the sound of wind and thunder. From afar, this person was wearing a blue Daoist robe, and there were bolts of lightning around him, as if he was stepping on thunder.
As the thunder approached, the person arrived in mid-air above the teleportation formation. When he stopped, one could see that he was middle-aged. While he was expressionless, waves of cultivation fluctuations unique to Yuanying cultivators spread from his body, causing the void around him to distort slightly.
His appearance immediately caused the surrounding Vast Expanse Dao Palace disciples to greet him with cupped fists. Even though they didn't greet him, it was obvious from his cultivation and everyone's behavior that this person had a high status.
When this middle-aged cultivator arrived, Wang Baole and the others also looked up. When their gazes met, Wang Baole's aura froze slightly. He felt as if the other party's eyes were filled with sharp blades, causing his heart to tremble.
Just as Wang Baole's heart trembled and the other Federation Seedlings' breathing quickened, the middle-aged man in mid-air retracted his gaze and spoke plainly.
"Fellow cultivators of the Federation, Elder Feng has summoned all of you to the Heavenly Inquiry Pavilion. Hurry up and follow him!" After saying that, the middle-aged man turned around and stepped into the air, walking towards the peak of the mountain step by step. From afar, the wind blew and lifted his long hair, making this middle-aged man in ancient clothing look like an immortal god from legends, filled with an indescribable temperament.
Wang Baole narrowed his eyes and immediately cupped his fists and bowed. The other Seedlings behind him did the same. Then, with Wang Baole in the lead, the rest of them flew out and followed the middle-aged man. Under the hostile gazes of the Vast Expanse Dao Palace members, they flew into the air and headed straight for the mountain peak.
As they flew up, a large portion of the world appeared before the eyes of the crowd. They saw the sky, which was fiery red. Although there was light, it was very blurry, as if there was a layer separating it. If one looked carefully, they would see that beyond the layer of light, there seemed to be a large amount of flames churning.
As for the ground, it was filled with a sea of magma and fire. At the same time, there were heat waves coming from all directions. The entire world was like a huge steamer basket, and even breathing felt stuffy. However, there was a shocking amount of Spirit Qi that was many times denser than on Earth.
Even though the Spirit Qi had yet to liquefy, it was extremely dense here. At the same time, it seemed to be of a different quality and level than on Earth. Wang Baole and the rest only took a few deep breaths before they were all moved. The absorption of the Spirit Qi from their bodies and their desire for it shook all of them, and their eyes flashed brightly.
Clearly, the cultivation techniques and levels of cultivation that they practiced were most suitable for the ancient greenish-bronze sword where the Vast Expanse Dao Palace resided. Therefore, even though this place was filled with high temperatures, it was still a holy land for cultivation that surpassed the Federation's!
Apart from that, Wang Baole and the rest were also moved when they saw the large number of islands in this sea of magma. No matter how they looked at it, these islands looked like mountain peaks. It was as if a real mountain had been submerged in the sea of magma, and only the peak of the mountain was exposed, thus forming the islands.
The island that they were on was obviously the largest island in this area. Or rather, it was once a huge mountain peak. On this mountain peak, there were many palaces, from the bottom of the mountain to the top. At the same time, the locations of the palaces seemed to be random, but there seemed to be a hidden meaning behind them.
At the same time, the most eye-catching things were the three palaces at the top of the mountain. These three palaces looked similar, but they were located at the highest point. If one stood there, they would be able to have a bird's eye view of the various islands.
At the same time, behind these three palaces, there was a huge rock. On this rock, there was a withered ancient tree. This ancient tree no longer had any leaves, only thick branches. As it stretched out in all directions, it emitted a shocking suppressive force. It even seemed to surpass the three palaces, as if it was the deity of this island's mountain peak!
Even though the tree was withered, based on its young appearance, one could imagine that when the tree had yet to wither, its leaves would have definitely shaken the heavens and the earth, and shocked everyone in the area.
That was what Wang Baole and the others saw as they flew. Even though the layout of the Vast Expanse Dao Palace wasn't particularly special, it was still enough to shock them to the core.
In the process of flying from the bottom of the mountain to the top of the mountain, the entire mountain peak where the Vast Expanse Dao Palace was located was filled with a large number of auras. The weakest of these auras was at the Core Formation realm. Occasionally, there were even Yuanying's auras. This was especially so in the palaces at the top of the mountain. There were three auras that resembled the might of the heavens, shaking everyone's hearts.
It was as if there were three deities in the palaces at the top of the mountain. Wang Baole's breathing stopped. The Federation Seedlings behind him, including Zhao Yameng and the rest, felt their hearts race. They all moved closer to Wang Baole.
"Compared to the Vast Expanse Dao Palace, the Federation is like a child. Therefore, this is destined to be unfair. The Federation is also betting that the so-called Light Faction is indeed willing to form an alliance with the Federation!" Wang Baole narrowed his eyes. After pondering for a while, he heaved a sigh of relief. In fact, according to his judgment, there would be a problem if the other party was polite to them the moment they arrived.
In fact, even if the lower-level cultivators here weren't polite and treated him as an equal, Wang Baole would be more vigilant. Therefore, it was normal for him to see hostility and contempt.
"Let's see if there's a chance to test them again." As Wang Baole pondered, everyone followed the middle-aged man in front of them silently. They arrived at the top of the mountain and came to the Heaven's Questions Palace in the center.
The palace was vast and filled with an imposing aura. It was as if a giant beast was crouching there. While it intimidated the heavens and earth, it also made the Federation Seedlings even more nervous. After they arrived, they didn't have to wait for long. The doors of the Heaven's Questions Palace opened slowly. As it opened, a voice filled with authority rang out from within the palace.
"Cultivators of the Federation Seedlings, enter the palace and pay your respects!"
As the voice reverberated in everyone's ears, Wang Baole took a deep breath and was the first to step into the palace. The moment he stepped in, he immediately saw three huge chairs at the head of the palace. There were three people sitting on those chairs. In the middle was a lady. She looked middle-aged, but she was extremely beautiful. She wore a colorful dress and had an otherworldly aura. Her eyes were filled with gentleness as she looked at Wang Baole and the Federation Seedlings who were walking in behind him.
Sitting to the left of the lady was a skinny middle-aged cultivator in a black robe. He was expressionless, and his body was like a skeleton. His eyes, in particular, were filled with an eerie glow. One look at him would cause a chill to rise from the bottom of one's heart. It was as if one's soul was trembling in fear.
On the right was an old man. His eyes were closed, and he seemed to be meditating. He didn't seem to be interested in the Federation Seedlings who had just arrived.
Aside from these three, there were eight other cultivators of different ages and genders in the palace. They sat at the head of the table and looked at Wang Baole and the others. The middle-aged man who had brought them here was also sitting among them.
At the same time, to the left and right of the three people at the head of the table, there were several young men and women who were about the same age as Wang Baole and the others. They didn't seem to have the right to be seated there. Their cultivation levels ranged from the beginning to the late stage of the Core Formation realm. However, since they were able to stand to the left and right of the three people at the head of the table, they obviously had some status. Wang Baole glanced at them and guessed that they were disciples.
