A red light soared into the nine heavens, competing with the bright moon for its brilliance. A strange and vast aura enveloped the Sinkhole.
In the eyes of ordinary people, the Sinkhole could only be entered but not left. Once one entered, it was equivalent to entering a cage. It was impossible to leave for the rest of their lives. However, according to the older generation of Sinkhole cultivators or clan leaders, it was not impossible to leave the Sinkhole. Firstly, three thousand years ago, the Mysterious Coffin had descended from the heavens. The chaotic laws of the Sinkhole had cracked, allowing a group of people to escape.
Secondly, there was a rumor in the ancient Sinkhole that when the phenomenon of the nine moons rising into the sky appeared, there would be a chance for someone to leave the Sinkhole.
However, a phenomenon like the nine moons rising into the sky was rare even in thousands of years. Many people even believed that it was only a legend. It was a fantasy made up by people who were bored in the Sinkhole to create hope for themselves and their descendants.
Only now, when a red light rose from the deepest depths of the Sinkhole and soared into the nine heavens, competing with the moon for its brilliance, did people recall the story. Instantly, the various clans of the Sinkhole were in an uproar. The cultivators who had already given up on leaving were unwavering. The young naturally could not suppress their curiosity when they heard that there was a new world that they could explore.
Even some of the older cultivators felt a new hope in this desperate situation. After all, the laws in the Sinkhole had changed. No matter how powerful a cultivator was, they could not step into the Yuanying realm. This also resulted in the thousand-year lifespan of a Golden Core cultivator being the limit of a person's lifespan in the Sinkhole. As long as they left, there was a chance of stepping into the Yuanying realm and living another two thousand years. It was equivalent to living three lifetimes.
However, amidst their excitement, the cultivators also had endless doubts.
Even if the story of the nine moons rising into the sky was the eight red lights competing with the bright moon in the Sinkhole, how could they make use of this opportunity?
It had been too long. Three thousand years was a long and boring time. In this long, boring, and aimless wait, the various clans had little hope of leaving. Even though every clan still abided by the ancient teachings of patrolling and set up a team to explore the mountains and rivers of the Sinkhole, it was no longer for the Sinkhole relics. Instead, it had been reduced to a treasure hunting team that searched for spirit veins and divine mines.
As for the secrets of the Sinkhole's depths, they had long given up due to the huge expenditure. As for the secrets of the Sinkhole's depths, they had long given up due to the huge expenditure. The strongest beasts that lived in the Sinkhole's periphery were already at the fifth level. But in the deepest parts of the Sinkhole, there were the legendary seventh-level beasts. And in the Sinkhole, there were the most terrifying beasts.
It could be said that even a team led by a Golden Core Mahayana Stage cultivator had less than a 10% chance of coming out alive after entering the deepest part of the Ultimate. Almost every team that was sent in would be completely wiped out. Even if they were lucky enough to come back alive, other than the fearsome beasts inside and the chaotic region where it was difficult to figure out the rules, there was almost no news.
Under such circumstances, the various clans naturally gave up on exploring the Ultimate's hidden treasures.
. and the clans of the Sin. of and of. of of.. of. of. of. of. of. of of. of. of of. of.
It was also because of this that the various clans' understanding of the Sinkhole's core area could be said to be a complete blank.
. Nine moons appeared in the sky. The legendary time to leave the Sinkhole had come. But no one knew how to leave. No one even knew how to enter the Sinkhole's depths …
Even though all the clans were ambitious and had sent out brave and courageous people, determined to take this opportunity to charge into the Sinkhole even if it meant risking their lives, how many of them would be able to reach the Sinkhole alive when they were surrounded by ferocious beasts, the Void turbulence, the Dark Lightning Marsh, and other taboo areas? This was a problem that none of the clans had the slightest confidence in.
Were they willing to risk their lives for the sake of a legend?
Or were they willing to give up such an opportunity by sticking to the rules of the city?
After the initial surprise and excitement, the various clans suddenly felt a headache coming on.
It was exactly during this period of time that the Fengtian Clan, the Moonreverence Clan, the Imperial Beast Clan, the Heaven Resentment Clan, and a few other clans that were comparatively weaker were in a state of panic and hesitating. However, all of them suddenly received a visitor. All of them wore linen clothes, wore straw sandals, and had disheveled hair that hung loosely on their shoulders. They were like ghosts that had come from unknown places to pay a visit.
"Please inform the Supremacy that the Dragon Seeking Clan's envoy requests an audience …"
"The Dragon Seeking Clan …"
All the clans were alarmed when they heard that the most mysterious clan in the Sinkhole, the Dragon Seeking Clan, had sent an envoy for a visit. Especially at the critical moment of the phenomenon, the appearance of the Dragon Seeking Clan's envoy made the elders of the various clans feel strange. They all sent their respected clan leaders or elders to receive the Dragon Seeking Clan's envoy in a solemn and respectful manner. Their treatment was comparable to that of a royal envoy.
The Dragon Seeking Clan's envoy entered happily, but he only left a sentence before drifting away.
"Three days from now, on the Immortal Ascension Platform, the Dragon Seeking Clan's leader invites all clans to discuss the Sinkhole's secrets. We will head to the mystic grounds and open the Dao Palace!"
The Dragon Seeking Clan's envoy had appeared to share the secrets of the Sinkhole that they had researched for thousands of years?
Instantly, news that shocked the clans even more than the phenomenon of the nine moons rising into the sky spread. They could not contain themselves.
Over the years, the various clans had given up on exploring the secrets of the Sinkhole because they could not afford to expend so much manpower and resources.
But other than one clan, the most mysterious was the Dragon Seeking Clan.
The members of this clan were all lunatics. They had been exploring the secrets of the Sinkhole for thousands of years and had never given up.
If there was anyone who had the deepest, truest, and most detailed understanding of the secrets of the Sinkhole, the Dragon Seeking Clan would claim to be number one.
In fact, after the phenomenon of the crimson moon rising into the sky appeared, many clans had already thought of seeking out the Dragon Seeking Clan to obtain the secrets of the Sinkhole's depths from them. However, the Dragon Seeking Clan was too mysterious. Even if they wanted to find them, they had no idea where to start. Unexpectedly, at this critical juncture, they had taken the initiative to appear and even invited the various clans to explore the Sinkhole's depths …
At that moment, regardless of what they were thinking, the various clans immediately made arrangements and rushed to the Immortal Ascension Stage.
The Immortal Ascension Stage was located in the middle of the Sinkhole, above a vast abyss. It was a Dao Platform made of white jade that was 99 feet tall, 99 feet wide, and 99 feet long. It was said that this Dao Platform was the place where the cultivators of the Taishang orthodoxy ascended to the Immortal World. When the Taishang orthodoxy was at its peak, there was a legend of ten immortals. Seven of the ten immortals ascended to immortality from the Dao Platform.
Now, tens of thousands of years had passed. The Taishang orthodoxy that had once ruled the world had been reduced to ruins. However, the Immortal Ascension Stage, which had once symbolized glory and legend, had been preserved. It was said that the Dao Platform was tainted with the Immortal Qi of the people who had ascended to immortality. As a result, the Dao Platform was crystal clear. Weeds could not bear to grow, birds dared not land, and beasts dared not approach, afraid that they would taint this sacred ground.
In the Sinkhole, the various clans were scattered all over the Great Rivers and Evil Mountains. The three days that the Dragon Seeking Clan had mentioned was just enough for the clans that were the furthest away to rush here. It seemed that they had long prepared for this.
From the second day onwards, people from various clans arrived on clouds. They sat cross-legged in a corner of the Immortal Ascension Stage and waited.
At noon, in the southwest direction, the clear cries of birds covered the sky. The Royal Beast Clan had arrived.
At dusk, a group of sword cultivators arrived on their swords. All of them were dressed in ancient clothes and had a dignified bearing. The Fengtian Clan had arrived.
On the night of the third day, a bright moon shone brightly in the sky while a faint red lantern hung in the sky. Suddenly, the bright moon seemed to be brighter than usual. The moonlight seemed to be silver, and the world seemed to be brighter. At that moment, a silver pipa dispersed a cloud in the night sky and appeared above the Immortal Ascension Stage. It was the fairies of the Lunar Reverence Clan of the Sinkhole.
The various clans each occupied a corner of the Immortal Ascension Stage. Some sat, some stood, some chatted with familiar clans, and some glared at hostile clans. In short, almost all of the clans in the Sinkhole were present. Below the Immortal Ascension Stage, there were some figures that appeared. They stood alone far away from the Immortal Ascension Stage, silently waiting for something. They were the wandering ghosts of the Sinkhole. After entering the Sinkhole, they did not join any clan. There were many such people in the Sinkhole.
"What are the Dragon Seeking Clan up to? They actually gathered all the clans in the Sinkhole …"
Below the Immortal Ascension Stage, in the shadow of a large tree, Fang Xing was also waiting in boredom.
As a bandit, he knew the importance of information. After escaping, he did not immediately hide, especially when he saw the two bright moons in the sky. He had a vague feeling that something big was about to happen, so he immediately snuck out to gather information. Coincidentally, he heard about the gathering of the clans in the Sinkhole on the Immortal Ascension Stage, so he immediately rushed over.
As for the Red Dragon, he had left it in a hidden valley thousands of miles away. He did not bring it with him.
Although Da Gouzi was a powerful fighter, he was not in a clear mind and could not use spells, so it was inconvenient for him to do things. If Fang Xing encountered danger, he could easily escape by concealing his aura. However, if he brought the Red Dragon with him, the aura concealing technique would not be enough to cover it. If they encountered danger, they could only fight head-on. It would be easier for Fang Xing to escape alone.
