At this moment, there were already more than a dozen cultivators waiting in the open space below the stone tablet. Almost all of them were experts above the Third Tribulation. It was a gathering of experts in the Northern Wilderness Continent.
The arrival of the three-eyed old man's group didn't cause any commotion. The cultivators below the stone stele only glanced at them before turning their heads away and continuing to stare at the stone stele. However, there really wasn't anything strange about the stone stele.
After settling down in a random open space, the three-eyed old man transmitted his voice to Xiao Lingyu, "Brother Xiao, your cultivation is hidden very well. Ordinary cultivators can't detect it at all. I think that white-haired old man doesn't know your background either. At most, he can tell that you're a human cultivator. So, you're our secret weapon. You can only achieve miraculous results if you suddenly attack at the critical moment. Later, when we enter the sealed area of the Demonic Fire Lake, you should keep a low profile and try not to attack."
Xiao Lingyu nodded and replied, "Who's that white-haired old man?"
The three-eyed old man replied, "He's not here yet. After all, he's a Seventh Tribulation expert. Of course, he has to act like the number one expert in the Northern Wilderness Continent …"
"Haha, I'm late. Sorry for making you wait!"
All the cultivators looked at the entrance of the valley. They saw a tall and strong old man with shoulder-length white hair walking slowly in the air. Behind him were three arrogant cultivators.
"Fellow Cultivator White, your cultivation is so profound!"
"Brother White, you must take good care of me in the Demonic Fire Lake this time!"
"Brother White, after this trip to the Demonic Fire Lake, you'll definitely become the first Eighth or Ninth Tribulation expert in the Northern Wilderness Continent!"
…
As soon as the tall cultivator landed below the stone tablet, the experts who had been waiting here all stood up to greet him. They were all very respectful, and some were even trying to flatter him. It could be seen that the white-haired cultivator was indeed very powerful in the Northern Wilderness Continent.
Xiao Lingyu narrowed her eyes and stared at the white-haired man, but she couldn't tell how strong he was. She could only feel the aura that was faintly seeping out of him, giving her a very deep and dangerous feeling.
The white-haired man seemed to have sensed Xiao Lingyu's gaze and glanced over. However, he then turned his gaze to the three-eyed old man and the middle-aged woman. The corners of his mouth curled up slightly, revealing a somewhat contemptuous smile.
The three-eyed old man only snorted coldly and did not go over to greet him. He and the middle-aged woman had been at odds with the white-haired man for many years. They were like fire and water. Even now, there was no possibility of them becoming friends.
"Since everyone is here, let's begin. Fellow cultivators with keys, please head to your respective peaks. We're going to open the seal!"
The white-haired man did not care about their flattery. Instead, he commanded everyone loudly like a general commanding a battle.
After that, the white-haired man took the lead. He leaped up and flew to one of the peaks in the valley.
The three-eyed old man and the middle-aged woman did not delay. They immediately went to their respective peaks with the other Kings who had keys.
As for the other cultivators, including Xiao Lingyu, they remained where they were, quietly waiting for the Kings to perform their spells.
Not long after, the six tall peaks beside the valley began to shake together, causing the entire valley to shake violently as if a huge earthquake was about to happen.
This kind of shaking naturally did not have any effect on the cultivators who were able to enter the valley. Everyone was very calm, and their expressions were filled with anticipation.
The shaking lasted for 15 minutes. Suddenly, six rays of blood-red light shot up into the sky, but all of them gathered above the stone tablet. Then, a large amount of light sprinkled down and enveloped the stone tablet.
Being enveloped by the light, the stone tablet began to shake, and its bumpy surface began to change. First, mysterious runes began to circulate all over its body, and then a vertical crack appeared in the center.
Finally, under everyone's astonished gaze, the stone tablet turned into a large stone door. Moreover, it seemed to be opening very slowly and strenuously.
The six mountains were still trembling and emitting blood-red rays of light. This continued for nearly four hours before the stone door opened a meter wide. However, the kings, including the three-eyed old man and the white-haired old man, all flew down from the mountains.
"The door to the seal has been opened. If you don't enter now, when will you?"
After the white-haired man landed, he shouted loudly. Then, he released a powerful aura that wrapped around his three subordinates. Without hesitation, he rushed into the door and disappeared in an instant.
"Let's go!"
The three-eyed old man and the middle-aged beautiful woman also released their aura and rushed into the stone door together with Xiao Lingyu and the other cultivators.
Behind the stone door was a hazy world. Here, whether it was spiritual sense, immortal sense, or demon sense, as long as it was formed by the power of the soul, it couldn't penetrate the cultivators' bodies. And in this fog, the naked eye couldn't see anything more than three meters away.
The strange thing was that the mist was red and carried an obvious smell of blood.
Everyone didn't know much about this seal. After all, no one had entered and no one knew the specific situation inside. The only thing they could be sure of was that there was a heavenly demonic fire lake that was very useful to demon cultivators, but no one knew its specific location.
The three-eyed old man and the middle-aged beautiful woman told Xiao Lingyu that this seal was actually a cultivation secret realm of a powerful lich in ancient times. It was equivalent to an independent space parallel to the cultivation world.
However, that lich wasn't a kind person. Instead, he was a bloodthirsty devil. In the end, he attracted the resentment of many powerful cultivators and was killed in his secret realm.
However, although the Lich had died, before he died, he had launched his most powerful counterattack, causing all the experts who had come to kill him to be buried with him in the Secret Territory. Since that battle, the Secret Territory had never been opened. Only the six keys to open the Secret Territory had been passed around for countless years before finally coming together.
In the past, no cultivator knew about the existence of those six keys because they were sealed in several very dangerous places in this primitive forest by the lich. It was precisely because too many years had passed that the six keys, full of spirituality, finally broke through the very weak restriction and were able to see the light of day again.
Not to mention that the ancient lich left behind rich treasures in his secret realm, those powerful cultivators who came to kill the lich in ancient times must also have left behind many treasures. These treasures were what the three-eyed old man, the white-haired old man, and the other loose demon cultivators wanted to obtain. Of course, the most important thing on this trip wasn't those treasures, but the heavenly demonic fire lake that the lich spent countless years to construct.
"The blood-colored fog here is very useful to us demon cultivators. Not only can it improve our bloodline, but it can also make our bodies stronger. But we need to absorb a lot of it to have an obvious effect. I wonder if this fog has any effect on you human cultivators? "The three-eyed old man said to Xiao Lingyu as he led everyone forward cautiously.
