Whoever dared to go against Third Young Master Shen was just looking for trouble.
Cynanchum Chinense laughed gloatingly.
Ning Buqi was helpless and could only say, "Since you want to go, let's go. However, the obelisk is not a place that any Tom, Dick, or Harry can enter. Don't say that I didn't warn you."
A murderous glint flashed across his eyes, but it was quickly erased.
Shen Zhenyi saw this but did not say anything.
He just lazily patted the crystal throne and smiled. "Then let's go. There's no need to drag things out. Brother Hong, see you again. "
There was no need to be reluctant to part with the matters of the world.
The group bid farewell to Captain Hong and his wife and followed the old man, Ning Buqi, all the way to the west.
At first, Ning Buqi was quite enthusiastic about Lady Zi Ningjun, but after being rebuffed, he was too lazy to talk to her and simply led the way. It was very boring along the way.
Shen Zhenyi and the others ignored him and just walked and rested. Occasionally, they would cook and taste delicious food, wasting time.
Ning Buqi was so anxious that he stomped his feet, but no one paid attention to him, so he could only stroke his beard and sulk.
They were originally at the easternmost part of the continent, near the sea. The obelisk was in Xuantian City, but it was surrounded by forbidden areas, so no one could approach it. Naturally, they returned the way they came.
As soon as they arrived at Xuantian City, many elders came out to welcome them. When they saw Ning Buqi, they were very surprised and bowed respectfully.
"It seems that this old man might have been a powerful figure in the past, but since Master doesn't know him, I guess he's nothing special."
Cynanchum Chinense muttered to herself.
Ning Buqi finally regained his dignity and spoke proudly to everyone, glancing over from time to time. What he meant was, 'Now you know how powerful I am, right? Why aren't you apologizing? '
Unfortunately, no one cared about Shen Zhenyi at all. He was just acting coquettishly for the blind.
Ning Buqi was bored and did not want to waste any more time. He said to the crowd, "This time, Lady Zi Ningjun of the Abandoned Sword Villa has obtained the inheritance of the Sea God from the Eastern Sea and achieved the eighth tier of the True God Realm. Therefore, I'm here to welcome her back to the Obelisk to cultivate."
Everyone knew that Ning Buqi had come out of seclusion to invite the newcomers into the obelisk.
But when they heard that it was someone from the Abandoned Sword Villa, they were all shocked and gasped.
Previously, the Abandoned Sword Villa was already in the limelight. In a short period of time, not only did they come from the Southern Barbarian Land to Xuantian City, but they also became an influential sect in one fell swoop. Many of the Royal Family Faction, Doyen Faction, and others wanted to rope them in. Who would have thought that in just a few days, there would actually be a real eighth tier True God among them?
That was enough to make it worth it!
Everyone knew that if one was young and promising and could reach the peak of the seventh tier True God Realm in the prime of their life, and if the sect or family they belonged to was more powerful, they would have a chance to be selected by the Obelisk and cultivate in it. As long as they had enough time, it was not impossible for them to become the real eighth tier True God Su Lao.
However, outside the Obelisk, due to the lack of spirit energy in the outside world, it would take a lot of time and effort to accumulate the divine light and increase its thickness to the stage where it was round and flawless and endless.
There was a limit to one's strength, and there was a limit to one's lifespan.
Unless one was a top genius or had a peerless opportunity, they would have a chance to break through.
However, such people would be regarded as those with great providence and would be valued highly by the Obelisk.
Everyone was looking forward to them breaking through to the ninth tier True God Realm!
This was the opportunity for humans to have a chance to counterattack against the beasts.
This was because among the beasts, there were kings of the ninth tier True God Realm who were only in hibernation.
However, among the humans, the highest level was only the eighth tier True God Realm. It was barely enough to passively defend. If they wanted to counterattack and reclaim their lost territory, it was really impossible.
If they woke up the ninth tier True God Realm beasts in hibernation, it would be a disaster for humans.
There might not be a genius who could break through to the eighth tier True God Realm in a hundred years. Unexpectedly, there was one in the Abandoned Sword Villa.
Everyone was shaken and didn't know how to respond.
Shen Zhenyi and the others didn't want to bother with them.
Originally, when they were in Xuantian City, they would casually sweep away the troublesome ants. Now that they were in the Obelisk, these people naturally wouldn't dare to be rash and would only behave themselves. There was no need to bother with them.
This was what it meant to be high and mighty.
Ning Buqi led Zi Ningjun and the others to set off. All the powerful elders in Xuantian City prostrated themselves on the ground as they respectfully sent them off. They only dared to secretly look up and size up Shen Zhenyi and the others as they walked away. They were jealous and envious.
It was true that the wheel of fortune had its ups and downs. Who could have predicted the outcome today?
When they arrived at Xuantian City, they weren't far from the Obelisk.
The closer they were to their destination, the more distracted Ning Buqi became. He often urged everyone to hurry. Shen Zhenyi was still unhurried as he walked leisurely. After walking for almost seven days, they finally saw a huge black tower. It seemed to stand on the edge of the earth and was like a heavenly pillar that supported the vast sky.
The top of the Obelisk flickered with a faint black light, like a giant sword that pierced the sky.
Rather than a tower, this tower was more like a huge stone tablet. Its four sides were smooth and there was no entrance in the past. The surface could reflect people. Rumor had it that this wasn't an object of this world. It was a broken sword that fell here during the great battle between the immortals of the Upper Realm and formed this mysterious and powerful Obelisk.
In ancient times, some people cultivated near the Obelisk and felt that the spiritual energy was abundant. Their cultivation speed increased by more than a fraction. Later on, some people thought that since the exterior of the Obelisk could help them cultivate, wouldn't the spiritual energy be more abundant if they could enter the interior of the Obelisk itself?
Some people tried to drill holes in the exterior of the Obelisk with great ambition and strength. After countless years, they finally penetrated the thick outer shell and found that the interior of the Obelisk was indeed hollow.
Cultivating inside was ten times faster than cultivating outside.
Since then, this place gradually developed into a martial arts holy land. Only peerless cultivators could enter the Obelisk to cultivate. Over time, many new buildings and caves were built inside, and they were divided into levels.
The higher the level, the more spiritual energy there was. That was where the stronger experts were.
The lower the level, the less spiritual energy there was. Newcomers and those who couldn't break through for a long time would stay there.
Therefore, when the Empire unified the world, Tianjing City was built based on this.
Xuantian City was used to save the world, so the Obelisk was included.
It was said that at the highest point of the Obelisk, there was an old man called the Elder Ancestor. He had been cultivating for hundreds of years and was about to break through to the ninth level of the True God Realm. He was the hope of mankind.
Ning Buqi was full of respect when he told them about this.
Shen Zhenyi only smiled lightly.
"Master, is it not credible?"
Cynanchum Chinense saw his expression and asked quietly.
Shen Zhenyi sighed. "How can a decadent person bear the heavy responsibility of the world?"
"So many years have passed. Even if this person didn't die back then, he would have died long ago."
Ning Buqi was furious when he heard him insult the Elder Ancestor of the Obelisk. He was about to fall out with him, but for some reason, he held it in.
