The Bewildering Maze Archipelago had been quiet for many years, but recently, it gradually became noisy. Countless experts came from the inner and outer seas of the Gourd Bay as well as the immortal's mainland. Among them, those with old grudges would fight, and those with new grudges would inevitably compete. In short, as long as cultivators gathered, there would inevitably be conflicts.
According to legend, not long ago, an expedition team came. They went deep into the Bewildering Maze Archipelago and used a special magic to sink to the bottom of the sea. They actually found the real reason why everyone was lost in the Bewildering Maze Archipelago for many years.
At the bottom of the Bewildering Maze Archipelago, there was a piece of Star Pole Magnet. It was precisely because of it that when cultivators and ships entered the Bewildering Maze Archipelago, they would unknowingly deviate from their course.
Because this piece of Star Pole Magnet was hidden in a very hidden place, and it itself wasn't very big, it was very inconspicuous. Therefore, for a long time, no cultivator had discovered it.
As for how that expedition team discovered the Star Pole Magnet, it was unknown. However, this wasn't important. The important thing was that even though the expedition team discovered this secret first, they were powerless to take away the Star Pole Magnet. Because there were no Astral Extreme Realm experts among them, they couldn't even get close to that fist-sized Star Pole Magnet.
The temptation of the Star Pole Magnet to cultivators below the Astral Extreme Realm was undoubtedly huge. Since ancient times, those who could enter the Nirvana Realm from the Immortal Realm were already very few. And those who could enter the Astral Extreme Realm from the Nirvana Realm were even more pitifully few.
Among hundreds of millions of cultivators, it was rare to see an Astral Extreme Realm expert. And Astral Extreme Realm experts could be considered as the true experts of the Immortal Realm. To have the opportunity to enter the Astral Extreme Realm without any danger was naturally something that many Nirvana Realm cultivators yearned for even in their dreams.
Now that there was such a rare opportunity waiting for everyone in the Bewildering Maze Archipelago, it naturally made everyone scramble like a flock of ducks.
However, there were really too many cultivators who came. Most of them were Nirvana Realm experts who came from the immortal's mainland after hearing the news. There was also a portion of Immortal Realm cultivators who came to try their luck. However, Immortal Realm cultivators usually came with the protection of Nirvana Realm experts.
As for whether or not there were any Astral Extreme Realm experts, that was something no one knew. After all, Astral Extreme Realm experts would not easily reveal themselves. Moreover, even if they did reveal themselves, ordinary cultivators would not be able to see through their true cultivation.
Normally, there would definitely be Extreme Astral Realm experts coming over. Although they wouldn't be able to use the Star Pole Magnet, and wouldn't be able to snatch it and give it to the younger generation disciples, who knew if there would be other opportunities in this Bewildering Maze Ocean?
As the Gourd Island's Gourd City's Gourd City's Yun Clan and Sang Clan had the advantage of being in close proximity to the Star Pole Magnet. However, they didn't get to know the Star Pole Magnet first. They had sent many experts from their clans here, but they still hadn't seen what it looked like.
The center of the Bewildering Maze Archipelago was not a small sea, and the enormous water pressure made it impossible for ordinary cultivators to reach the bottom of the sea. They could only resist the attacks of the powerful sea beasts in the Bewildering Maze Archipelago while patiently waiting. There were many cultivators waiting like them.
It was precisely because there were enough cultivators here that a large number of Nirvana Realm experts came at the same time that everyone was able to stay in the depths of the Bewildering Maze Archipelago for a long time.
The Awakening God Tower's manager, Lord Yu, brought Xiao Lingyu, Miling, and Ling'Er, were transported to the depths of the Gourd Bay's inner sea. They rode the blue boat at full speed for nearly ten years before finally entering the Bewildering Maze Archipelago's sea area.
With the countless experts leading the way, the sea beasts in the periphery of the Bewildering Maze Archipelago were almost completely wiped out. Even the sea beasts that weren't slaughtered all swam to the depths of the sea area and continued to attack the experts who had already entered the center of the archipelago.
It wasn't the first time Xiao Lingyu's group of four had come to the Bewildering Maze Archipelago, and the manager seemed to be very familiar with the Bewildering Maze Archipelago's sea area. Under his control, the blue boat steadily and quickly sailed towards the depths of the sea area.
Along the way, they didn't stop because of the attacks of the sea beasts. Under Lord Yu's control, the blue boat spent nearly half a year before finally arriving at the center of the Bewildering Maze Archipelago.
At this time, it was very difficult to encounter any powerful sea beasts here. Instead, one could often see ships of different sizes sailing through the fog on the surface of the sea.
Many of the cultivators who came from inland didn't often go out to sea, so they prepared their ships at the last minute. Compared to the ships of the Yun and Sang Clans, their ships were much simpler and weaker.
The Yun clan's golden ship and the Sang clan's black iron ship looked like two moving metal islands. They gave off a mighty, domineering, heavy, and solid feeling.
Lord Yu's blue boat, on the other hand, was very ordinary. It looked just like the exposed fin of a blue sea beast.
After the blue boat cruised in the center of the Bewildering Maze Archipelago for nearly three months, Ling'Er suddenly had a thought. He pointed at a small island not far away and said, "Let's stop at that small island."
Xiao Lingyu and Miling understood tacitly. They knew that there was definitely something unusual about that small island, but they only agreed and didn't say anything.
Lord Yu frowned and said, "That island is too small. It won't be easy to hide our tracks."
Miling said, "We don't have any enemies. Moreover, the experts who came here are all very cautious and low-key. They won't easily fight with other cultivators. It doesn't make much of a difference where we stop. After all, the sea beasts here are almost completely wiped out."
The reason why those large ships were cruising on the surface of the sea was because they were looking for sea beasts that hadn't been wiped out.
Lord Yu didn't say anything else and steered the boat towards the small island.
After waiting on the small island for nearly a month, the four people standing at the highest point of the small island suddenly discovered that experts with various colored rings of light flew up from the small island or ship and then fell into the water. They didn't come back up for a long time.
"It seems like they're preparing to move. Let's go down as well!"
As Lord Yu spoke, he took out four talisman papers. He stuck one on his body and gave one to Xiao Lingyu and the other two. He said, "Pour some energy into the talisman paper. It will automatically activate and form a ring of light that can repel water. It will allow us to easily fall to the bottom of the sea. However, it can only last for four hours."
As soon as he finished speaking, a ring of blue light appeared on Lord Yu's body.
Xiao Lingyu and the other two followed his instructions. A ring of light appeared on each of their bodies and then they followed Lord Yu into the sea.
The sea beasts in the sea had basically been wiped out. Naturally, there wasn't the slightest bit of resistance in the process of falling to the bottom of the sea.
After falling for nearly an hour, the four of them finally reached the bottom of the sea. With the protection of the ring of light, the strong water pressure only limited their movement speed. It didn't cause them any other pressure or trouble.
After searching the bottom of the sea for the time it took to brew a cup of tea, the four of them finally found the place where the experts were gathered. Their bodies were shining with light, making the pitch-black bottom of the sea very bright.
At this time, those experts were constantly attacking a cave at the bottom of the sea not far away.
The cave was constantly being blasted open, and they were constantly pushing forward. Presumably, the Star Pole Magnet should be in the depths of the cave.
The bombardment only lasted for a while, and those cultivators all stopped. They saw a tombstone-like stone tablet standing in front of them.
The stone tablet was no less than three thousand feet tall, three thousand feet wide, and five hundred feet thick. Looking at it from afar, it gave people a heavy feeling of oppression.
There were words carved on the stone tablet. Although the words were dim, they were, after all, too big. Xiao Lingyu could clearly see the words "Tomb of the Azure Emperor" from afar.
It seemed that it really was a tombstone. It was unknown how it had ended up here.
"Azure Emperor? Could it be the Azure Emperor from Earth's ancient times? "Xiao Lingyu frowned and thought in his heart.
Near the top of the tombstone, there was a pitch-black iron ball that constantly shone with bursts of starlight. Although it was only the size of a fist, it was the target of everyone's trip — the Star Pole Magnet!
However, at this moment, everyone could only look at it from afar, because the tombstone was constantly emitting invisible waves. Unless one was an Astral Pinnacle Realm expert, it was impossible to approach it.
Before everyone made a move, a few more experts suddenly arrived at the bottom of the sea.
These experts didn't have defensive halos on their bodies, but the aura they released was enough to resist the powerful water pressure, preventing the seawater from approaching.
Looking at their calm auras and indifferent expressions, one could guess that these experts were Astral Pinnacle Realm existences.
Everyone, who had been pointing and discussing spiritedly, all quieted down at this moment, their gazes fixed on the experts who had just arrived.
"Azure Emperor?"
"Azure Emperor is also dead?"
"The Ancient Star Road has been a dead end since ancient times. Naturally, they will die if they go in."
"Fortunately, I didn't go in at that time. Even Azure Emperor died inside. If I went, I'm afraid I would only be a stepping stone for them."
The few Astral Pinnacle Realm experts discussed for a while, then bowed deeply towards the tombstone. Unexpectedly, they leaped away together, without the slightest intention of touching the tombstone.
After confirming that the Astral Pinnacle Realm experts had gone far away, the Nirvana Realm cultivators surrounding the tombstone began to attack.
When their attacks reached within three hundred meters of the tombstone, most of them were blocked by an invisible force. However, a portion of their attacks landed on the tombstone, causing the tombstone to tremble slightly.
The tombstone's defensive power wasn't as solid as it looked. Under the bombardment of several hundred Nirvana Realm experts, it only lasted for the time it took to brew a cup of tea before exploding with a loud bang.
The instant the tombstone exploded, the iron ball-like Astral Magnet whistled out, rushing towards the crowd of cultivators.
In the blink of an eye, the Astral Magnet sank into the body of a cultivator. However, that cultivator didn't even have time to cast a technique to escape before the attacks of the surrounding cultivators landed on his body. In an instant, his body also exploded.
The Astral Magnet became an ownerless object again. After a slight tremble, it seemed to have found a suitable host and rushed out again.
Another cultivator was chosen, but a moment later, he was tragically surrounded and killed.
