Bai Meng glanced at his master's expression and slowly retreated.
"Yue Qianchou has already broken through to the early stage of Tribulation Passing. Interesting." Huo Zongming patted Pu Taidong's shoulder and looked back at the crowd. "What do you think?"
Pu Taidong came back to his senses and said in a daze, "In that case, the person talking to this little cultivator might really be Yue Qianchou?" His gaze swept across the crowd. "Even if it's Yue Qianchou, you don't really think there's a treasure left behind by the Demon Lord of Thousand Swords in the Misty Forest, do you?"
Everyone was silent. There was still some doubt in this matter. They were all thinking about something.
"Have you heard of a place?" The one who spoke was Cang Yuan State's Miao Hanyuan. Everyone looked at him, waiting for him to continue. Miao Hanyuan lightly said, "Immortal Ascension Stage!"
"What?" Someone couldn't help but exclaim. Most of the people present were at a loss. They were unfamiliar with this term, but there were a few who were moved.
Pu Taidong looked around and frowned. "Miao Hanyuan, what are you trying to say? Don't talk in riddles. "
Miao Hanyuan glanced at the expressionless Huo Zongming. "I'm sure Brother Huo has heard of this place?"
Huo Zongming smiled disapprovingly and didn't say anything. Sikong Jue, who was standing in the crowd, slowly walked out with his hands in his sleeves. "I've heard of this place from my master. Legend has it that in ancient times, when cultivators reached a certain level, they would ascend to the Immortal World through a place called the Immortal Ascension Stage. However, this is only a legend. No one knows where it is. Is the Immortal Ascension Stage that Lord Miao is talking about the one I'm talking about? "
"Hehe! As expected of Yin Baikang's brilliant disciple. You're really knowledgeable. " Miao Hanyuan sneered. "I happened to read a record in an ancient book. It says that a certain place is paved with countless gold bricks. In the middle, there's a platform built with gold. This platform is called the Immortal Ascension Stage. Cultivators whose cultivation surpasses the Soul Formation stage can ascend to the Immortal World. Brother Huo, am I right? "
Huo Zongming chuckled. He knew he couldn't hide it any longer, so he said, "I also thought it was strange. If the person talking to that little cultivator was really Yue Qianchou, then why is the ancient tomb that Yue Qianchou mentioned so similar to the legendary Immortal Ascension Stage? The floor is also paved with golden bricks, and there is also a golden platform in the middle. Could it be a coincidence? "
"The Immortal Ascension Stage is hidden in the Fog Forest?" Pu Taidong asked in surprise.
Miao Hanyuan narrowed his eyes and said, "In my opinion, if this Immortal Ascension Stage really exists, I'm afraid it's either in the East Holy Land or in the Dense Fog Forest."
Everyone nodded in agreement. In this world, only these two places hid secrets that were not known to outsiders. For a moment, everyone fell silent, each with their own ulterior motives. Although there was no confirmation, everyone was certain that the person was Yue Qianchou. Moreover, the theory that the Myriad Swords Demon Lord's golden body was hidden in the Immortal Ascension Stage was very believable.
However, even if that was the case, who had the ability to enter the Dense Fog Forest? The only thing they could do now was to capture Yue Qianchou and force him to reveal the secret of how he could enter and exit the Dense Fog Forest at will.
The group of people with ulterior motives took their leave. When there were only five people who were on good terms with Pu Taidong left, Huo Zongming frowned and said, "Miao Hanyuan, what the hell are you doing?" What he was implying was, "Why are you forcing me to tell everyone the truth?"
After Pu Taidong and the others understood the truth, they also gave Miao Hanyuan a questioning look. This didn't make sense! The Myriad Swords Demon Lord's ten thousand flying swords were enough for the six of us to share. Why did you have to make it known to the entire cultivation world? Wasn't this just looking for trouble?
Miao Hanyuan glanced at them and sneered. "We weren't the only ones who heard that little cultivator's words. Do you think you can keep this secret to yourself? Hmph! It won't be long before the entire cultivation world knows. The Myriad Swords Demon Lord's treasures are a huge temptation. Whoever stands at the heart of the struggle will be unlucky. The five of us can't withstand such a huge lightning bolt. So, let those who are capable go. The more chaotic, the better. We'd better stick together and watch from the side. There's no hurry. "
When the others heard this, they understood and nodded their heads in understanding. Miao Hanyuan looked at Huo Zongming and Pu Taidong and said, "It's better for you two to bear your grudges for now. Preserving your strength is the best strategy. When the time comes, it will definitely be of great use!"
The two of them nodded in agreement. Then, the six of them began to make plans …
Yue Qianchou had witnessed the fall of the Myriad Swords Demon Lord's golden body in the Dense Fog Forest, as well as the legendary Immortal Ascension Stage … This matter quickly spread throughout the cultivation world. Even the story of that little cultivator was made public by people with intentions.
This matter spread like wildfire and the cultivators of the various countries were in an uproar. Everyone understood that not just anyone could enter the Dense Fog Forest, but Yue Qianchou could come and go as he pleased. Now, whoever could find Yue Qianchou and unravel the secret of entering and leaving the Dense Fog Forest could possibly obtain the treasures left behind by the Myriad Swords Demon Lord.
The World Commerce Association even offered a reward of one hundred million high-grade spirit stones … whoever could provide information on Yue Qianchou and lead the World Commerce Association to find Yue Qianchou would be able to obtain the hundred million high-grade spirit stones. Of course, whether or not they could catch him was the World Commerce Association's business. As long as the information provided was useful, they could obtain the reward.
This time, it was lively. The World Commerce Association had used their powerful financial resources to set up informants in the entire cultivation world. Those cultivators with low cultivation could only dream about the treasures of the Myriad Swords Demon Lord. No one thought they could obtain them. However, the reward of one hundred million high-grade spirit stones was something that anyone could hope to obtain. For a moment, the various countries were filled with low-level cultivators scurrying around with dreams of getting rich.
The 'Cornucopia Gathering', which was originally ranked eighth in the cultivation world, was moved back to ninth place. Now, the eighth major event was that the various countries were looking for Yue Qianchou in order to obtain the treasures left behind by the Myriad Swords Demon Lord.
The Jinshan Country could be said to be in the eye of this matter because the last time Yue Qianchou appeared, he was in the Jinshan Country. Moreover, the Dense Fog Forest was also within the borders of the Jinshan Country. Who dared to say that Yue Qianchou himself did not want to obtain the treasures left behind by the Myriad Swords Demon Lord? It was said that it was only because his cultivation was not high enough that he could not obtain it. Presumably, he was still thinking of a way. Therefore, the chances of finding Yue Qianchou within the borders of the Jinshan Country was the highest.
Those cultivators with low cultivation often traveled in groups of three to five. It was precisely because of their low cultivation that they formed groups for safety. At this time, Yue Qianchou also joined a team of three people looking for Yue Qianchou as a rogue cultivator.
In order to dream of getting rich, the three people wandered everywhere within the borders of the Jinshan Country. Among the three people, two of them were only at the middle stage of Foundation Establishment, so Yue Qianchou claimed to be at the early stage of Core Formation and showed a little of his skill, subduing the other two and becoming the leader of the group of three.
The capital of the Jinshan Country, Gold Casting City, in the wilderness dozens of miles north of the city, there was a large connected villa. This villa was originally built by a wealthy businessman for leisure purposes. Later, because it was ransacked by bandits, the entire villa's several hundred people were all killed, and it became an inauspicious place. Coupled with the frequent haunting, this place became the famous' Ghost Manor '.
In fact, the so-called haunting was just a prank made by some rogue cultivators who had nowhere to stay. But over time, the reputation of the Ghost Manor spread, and mortals would definitely keep a respectful distance. Therefore, this place was occupied by rogue cultivators from all over the country. Of course, there was no lack of cultivators with backgrounds from various countries temporarily resting …
