"The Emperor Wu's secret treasure is at the bottom of the stone stairs?"
"I think so. I was still guessing what would be behind this magnificent door that was embedded in the ground … But I didn't expect that it would be a lonely high platform. "
"After we pass through the door, we'll land on the high platform and walk down the stone stairs. As for what's at the end of the stone stairs, we have no idea."
"The unknown is the scariest. It seems like we'll have to be careful after we enter the Emperor Wu's secret treasure."
…
The young disciples from the various forces discussed among themselves. Most of them had a hint of anxiety on their faces.
Some of them even had the thought of retreating.
However, as soon as they thought of retreating, they recalled the many treasures in the Emperor Wu's secret treasure. Their spirits were lifted, and they completely dismissed the thought of retreating.
Wealth came from danger!
If they did not even have the courage to take risks, they were destined to be mediocre for life.
"As long as I can obtain more than two Profundity Fragments, I'll soar into the sky!"
Many young disciples in the various major forces were muttering the same words to themselves.
"It seems like the other forces have the same distribution of Profundity Fragments as our Five Element Sect."
Huang Daniu, who was standing near Duan Lingtian, laughed.
"Of course! Otherwise, who would risk their lives for the Profundity Fragments? "
Duan Lingtian did not take it to heart.
In his opinion, the various forces must know how to make a choice if they wanted to motivate their disciples.
"The door to the Emperor Wu's secret treasure is open … Shouldn't we go in now?"
It was unknown who said this.
However, no one dared to be the first to stand out.
Everyone's eyes fell on the translucent light shield above the open door.
Ever since the monk disciple from the Empyrean Temple was killed by the explosion, this translucent light shield had become a shadow in their hearts.
As long as the light shield did not disappear, they would never cross the line.
Whoosh!
Suddenly, a soft sound resonated.
Subsequently, under the watchful eyes of the crowd, the translucent light shield disappeared into thin air as though it was never there.
"It's finally gone."
"If it didn't disappear, I'm afraid nobody would dare to enter."
…
When the young disciples of the various forces saw this, they heaved a sigh of relief.
"Shouldn't we go in?"
At the same time, many young disciples of the various forces stared at the senior members of their respective forces with puzzlement in their eyes.
Before the upper echelons of the various forces could open their mouths, a layer of grey light appeared out of thin air above the open door. This caused the expressions of the people from the various forces to change, except for Duan Lingtian.
Seeing everyone's expression, Duan Lingtian was momentarily speechless.
"Isn't it just an Inscription Formation that tests the age of the person who enters? Is there a need for such a big reaction?"
Duan Lingtian thought to himself.
When the translucent light shield disappeared, he had already sensed that another Inscription Formation to test his age had been activated.
"What the hell is going on?"
"The door is open, and the translucent light barrier is gone … Why is there another layer of grey light barrier?"
"Could this gray light shield be the same as the previous translucent light shield? One touch and you'll die, right?"
…
The young disciples of the various forces were worried, and no one dared to try.
Even the upper echelons of the various forces had dread written all over their faces.
"Let's go."
Duan Lingtian called out to Feng Tianwu, Huang Daniu, Su Li, and Zhang Shou Yong who were next to him. Then, he stepped on the air and descended toward the gray light shield at an extremely fast speed.
In just a few moments, Duan Lingtian arrived near the gray light shield.
"You're seeking death!"
When Zi Shang and Hu Fei saw Duan Lingtian's action, a hint of coldness crept up the corner of their mouths. Both of them felt that Duan Lingtian would definitely die.
"Duan Lingtian!"
Xuan Bei who was standing among the group of people from Empyrean Temple and Zhang Yan who was standing among the group of people from Emotion Severing Sect raised their eyebrows. They were shocked by Duan Lingtian's action.
Among the group of Five Element Sect's upper echelons, other than Tian Gu who was deep in thought, turned pale.
"This little fella is too reckless!"
Guo Chong and Qi Yu's expression turned grave. At this moment, Duan Lingtian had already touched the gray light shield. Even if there was something wrong with the gray light shield, they would not be able to save him in time.
Just when most of the people thought that Duan Lingtian was going to be killed, Duan Lingtian passed through the gray light shield smoothly as though nothing had happened.
Through the setting sun that sprinkled on the ground like blood, everyone could see that the black shadow behind the gray light shield had landed steadily on the high platform inside.
"Duan Lingtian is actually fine!"
"It seems like the gray light shield doesn't have any lethality."
…
Realization dawned on the disciples of the various forces.
Before the others could fully realize it, a figure that looked like a fire elf had already followed Duan Lingtian through the gray light shield, the door, and entered.
It was none other than Feng Tianwu!
When Su Li, Zhang Shou Yong, and Huang Daniu were shocked by Duan Lingtian's actions, Feng Tianwu was the only one who followed Duan Lingtian like a shadow. This showed that she had unconditional trust in Duan Lingtian.
"I can't believe that a few of us men can't even be compared to a woman."
Huang Daniu smiled wryly and shook his head before he followed suit.
Su Li and Zhang Shou Yong looked at each other and smiled wryly. After that, they passed through the gray light shield and stepped on the mysterious high platform below the door.
"I understand now!"
At this moment, Tian Gu, the Peak Master of Earth Peak of Five Element Sect, exclaimed in a low voice, "This gray light shield is the Inscription Formation that's used to test the age of the person who enters!"
The moment Tian Gu's words left his mouth, the group of Inscription Masters present on the scene was enlightened.
At the same time, they could not help but wonder how Duan Lingtian knew that the gray light shield would not harm him.
Could it be that he was also an Inscription Master?
If he was really an Inscription Master, how powerful would his attainment in the Inscription Dao be to be able to be the first one among all the Inscription Masters present on the scene to react to it?
Whoosh!
Soon after, another person from the Five Element Sect passed through the gray light shield and entered. It was none other than Nangong Chen.
Since even Nangong Chen had entered, it was only natural that Nangong Yi would enter as well.
Subsequently, the Five Element Sect's disciples followed suit and entered one after another. It looked like dumplings being dropped into a pot.
"Hurmph! He's lucky. "
Zi Shang stood behind the five Vice Fort Masters of Skywolf Fort. His face was extremely gloomy.
Initially, he thought Duan Lingtian would be killed by the Inscription Formation at the entrance of Emperor Wu's secret treasure. Who would have thought that not only was Duan Lingtian not killed, but he even became the first person to enter and stole the limelight.
"What's the hurry? Why don't you go in now and kill him directly? "
A gloomy, hoarse, and old voice reverberated in Zi Shang's mind, bewitching him.
The moment Zi Shang heard this, his eyes lit up immediately.
"Kill!"
Without waiting for the five Vice Fort Masters of Skywolf Fort to say anything, Zi Shang flew out and entered the gray light shield, entering Emperor Wu's secret treasure.
A terrifying killing intent emanated from his body.
Below the gray light shield, on the high platform under the wide open door, a group of Five Element Sect's disciples led by Duan Lingtian stood on the high platform and looked around curiously.
Feng Tianwu, Su Li, and Zhang Shou Yong were also standing next to Duan Lingtian.
The high platform was square in shape. All three directions were pitch black. It was so deep that one could not see the end of it. It was like a bottomless abyss.
Only the last direction had a stone staircase that led to the bottom.
"I can't see the end of this stone staircase at first glance … I wonder where it leads to."
Huang Daniu frowned and muttered to himself.
"No matter where it leads to, we have no choice … We can only follow it down."
Duan Lingtian said.
"Why don't we fly down from the other three directions and have a look?"
Su Li suggested.
"Fly?"
Upon hearing Su Li's words, Duan Lingtian smiled wryly. From the moment they stepped on this high platform, they had already entered the area covered by the Flight Prohibiting Formation.
You want to fly?
Sure.
As long as you have the strength that's on par with Emperor Wu's powerhouse.
Just when Duan Lingtian was about to explain, his expression changed as though he had noticed something. He lifted his head abruptly and looked at the sky not far away in front of him.
There, a white figure appeared. In just a blink of an eye, it transformed into a white lightning and charged toward him.
"Zi Shang!"
Duan Lingtian's expression changed. He immediately recognized the white-clad young man who was charging toward him. It was Zi Shang.
He did not expect Zi Shang's speed to be so fast!
In just a blink of an eye, he had already arrived in front of him.
Bang!
An explosive sound of air exploding sounded out. It was Zi Shang who had arrived in front of Duan Lingtian. He raised his hand and smashed out a punch. The flames on his fist skyrocketed, accompanied by waves of piercingly cold azure wind that grew stronger and stronger.
His punch was like a collapsing mountain that flashed directly toward Duan Lingtian. Its speed was so fast that Duan Lingtian had no time to block it. He could only instinctively stomp on the ground and retreat swiftly.
"You're courting death!"
At almost the exact same moment, a delicate shout sounded out. It was Feng Tianwu who stood nearby that made her move.
Her entire body was enveloped by flames that shot into the sky. She seemed to have transformed into a true fire spirit as she flashed toward Zi Shang who was chasing after Duan Lingtian.
Whoosh!
A long whip that was like a red spirit snake shot directly toward Zi Shang's hand that had punched out.
Right at this moment, under the gazes of everyone present, the figures of Duan Lingtian and Zi Shang who flashed out of the high platform swayed. They actually lost control and fell down swiftly as if they were about to fall into the bottomless abyss.
At the same time, the long whip in Feng Tianwu's hand missed as well. Zi Shang's rapid fall had exceeded her expectations.
"Elder Brother Duan!"
Feng Tianwu who stood at the side of the high platform looked at the violet figure that gradually disappeared into the bottomless abyss. Her face went grim, and then she didn't even think before jumping down as well.
When she jumped down, she finally realized why her Elder Brother Duan and Zi Shang would lose control and fall down.
It turned out that no matter how one circulated their Origin Energy, they were unable to fly in this place.
"Young Miss Tian Wu!"
Su Li, Zhang Shouyong, and Huang Daniu's faces went grim. They stood at the side of the high platform and looked at Feng Tianwu who was falling down as well. They were completely unaware of what had happened.
"Eh? Why can't we fly here? "
