With someone taking the lead, the others began to follow.
"Hmph, who dares to steal from this one! Anyone who dares to steal the Origin Immortal Treasury is an enemy of our Five Ancestor Alliance! "
The Black Yin Ancestor coldly snorted and charged forward with a wave of his robes. The Myriad Ghost Ancestor and the Bone Devil Ancestor flew out as well.
More than half of the martial artists in the region began to fly in the direction indicated by the Formation Elder, afraid that if they were too slow, someone else would get there first.
"Something's wrong!"
At this moment, only Wang Chong remained motionless, his expression extremely calm. As far as his eyes could see, the densely packed stars in the sky seemed to be still changing.
Hiss!
In just a few seconds, as Wang Chong and the Evil Emperor watched, the starlight suddenly vanished into wisps of smoke. The silver-white wisps of smoke writhed in the air, transforming into lines of Bird Seal Script.
"What is this?"
This sudden development immediately attracted the attention of the others. The Four Ends Martial Lord and Jili Laozu, who had already flown ten-some zhang away, sensed the disturbance behind them and immediately stopped and flew back.
"What kind of script is this? Does anyone recognize it?"
The surrounding crowd buzzed with chatter. The words reflected off the treasure map assuredly contained an enormous amount of important information. But these characters were so ancient that no one present could recognize them.
Only Wang Chong's eyes flickered as if he recognized something.
He truly did recognize some of these Bird Seal Script characters.
But in front of so many people, Wang Chong didn't say anything.
The characters in the air twisted and transformed, and after a few seconds, they all vanished.
"Let's go!"
At this moment, the Evil Emperor took action. With a wave of his sleeve, he swept up the six pieces of the treasure map, grabbed Wang Chong by the shoulder, and took Wang Chong and the Formation Elder into the air.
Behind him, the Wushang Village Chief shot forward like a bolt of lightning.
"Hualala!"
In the blink of an eye, thousands of martial artists had surged toward the northwest.
"They really managed to collect all of the Origin Immortal Art's treasure maps. Should we stay or leave?"
The sound of footsteps came from behind. The Deputy Chief of the Zhengqi League, Xie Guangting, waved his sleeves and slowly walked forward. His expression was calm and his face was expressionless.
Whether the treasure left behind by the Origin Immortal Lord was real or fake, whether it could be opened or not … it would never be able to move Xie Guangting's heart. By Song Yuanyi's side, Xie Guangting was his best assistant. No matter what, he was always Song Yuanyi's strongest and most powerful helper.
The winds howled, and as the martial artists left, only the disciples of the Zhengqi League remained motionless.
Everyone was waiting for Song Yuanyi's order.
"Leave? Why did he want to leave? It's rare for the Origin Immortal Lord's treasury to open, and we even offered up the last piece of the treasure map. Why not go and take a look? "
Song Yuanyi's eyes flashed as he spoke.
"Pass on my order! All the disciples of the Zhengqi League are to move out!"
Song Yuanyi took a step forward, his gaze sharp as he spoke without hesitation.
Bang!
Song Yuanyi stomped down, and then he shot into the air in an explosion of dust. Behind him, Xie Guangting followed. Under the leadership of the two alliance lords, all the disciples of the Zhengqi League began to make their way to the northwest.
… …
Around an hour later, a vast sea of martial artists had gathered at the location indicated by the star on the treasure map, all of them moving out to search for the Origin Immortal Art.
Every martial artist was brimming with passion when it came to searching for the world's number one Origin Immortal Art.
"Found it!"
A shout of joy rang out as a martial artist stood next to a protruding rock and waved at the others. Meanwhile, news was coming in from various places.
"Qian Palace, Li Palace, some of you go to the southeast and take a look!"
In the center of the crowd, a martial artist who appeared to be somewhat skilled in formations was directing the others to work together to search the area.
"It seems like we won't need to do anything!"
On the other side, the Evil Emperor, Wang Chong, Chief Wushang, and the Formation Elder stood side by side.
From where they were standing, they could see that the entire area was flat, with only a few grains of sand blown in from the Moheyan Desert to the south and a few low hills and rocks. It was impossible to see what this area had to do with the Origin Immortal Lord's treasury.
Wang Chong and the others had initially believed that they would need to go out again, but the reality was completely different from what they had imagined.
As thousands of martial artists scoured the area, many details and anomalies were quickly uncovered, and even some items that had been buried deep underground were dug up.
And among these martial artists, there were quite a few eccentric individuals. Although there was a large gap between them and the Formation Elder when it came to mastery of formations, when all of them worked together, not even the Formation Elder could compare to them.
In just a few moments, everyone discovered that there was a huge circular Spirit Array beneath the entire area. This Spirit Array was made up of countless boulders and had a diameter of several dozen kilometers. If not for the fact that they had received a hint from the treasure map in advance and so many cultivators working together to search for it, it would have been impossible to discover it under normal circumstances.
"There's no mistaking it. This should be an ancient formation dozens of times larger than the Origin Immortal Formation we encountered before. Because it's so large, we can't dig it out in its entirety.
"But in my view, not even the Origin Immortal Lord would have been able to construct such a massive formation. There's a high chance that he used the terrain and terrain of this area, as well as the flow of spiritual energy.
"In this way, he only needed to modify a part of the formation and then use it to construct this massive formation. This should be the Heaven Formation of the Formation Dao!
"But we still have no way of distinguishing the true function of this formation and how it operates."
The Formation Elder suddenly said as he looked at the bustling scene before him.
"Heaven Formation?"
Wang Chong was flabbergasted by the Formation Elder's words.
"Yes, this is what the Heavenly Formation means when it's said to be completely natural. This ancient formation method has long since been lost, and no one knows how to use it anymore. "
The Formation Elder sighed in amazement as he looked around at the stone formations that were slowly being unearthed. The more he came into contact with the things left behind by the Origin Immortal Lord, the more respect and awe he felt.
"Alas, such a powerful formation has long since been lost!"
"Heh, Senior Zhou, be at ease. If the formation can be opened, I will definitely think of a way to help you bring out the Formation Divine Tome."
Wang Chong chuckled. How could he not know what the Formation Elder was thinking? He had no interest in martial arts, and the only thing on his mind was the lost Formation Divine Tome in the Origin Immortal Lord's cave.
"Hey, kid, Wang Chong, this old man won't be polite with you on this matter."
The Formation Elder was instantly energized. He pointed to the left and said, "The Formation Elder's eyes lit up.
"If my guess is correct, the core of the formation should be there."
A martial artist had already rushed over to relay the Formation Elder's words.
They all had considerable respect for this formation grandmaster who had come with the Demonic Emperor. A large number of martial artists quickly began to dig in the direction indicated by the Formation Elder.
"There really is something here!"
In just a moment, the soil on the ground was cut open, and the crowd dug out a few huge stone pillars that had fallen to the ground in disorder. These stone pillars were carved with strange patterns and indecipherable characters. But from the condition of the pillars, it was clear that this place was in ruins and had been abandoned for centuries.
"It's not that simple! Since the Origin Immortal Lord left behind the treasure map, the Origin Immortal Formation, and this ancient celestial formation, he couldn't have not made proper arrangements, and there's no way the treasury can't be opened. We just haven't found the right way to open it yet. "
As the Formation Elder spoke, he closed his eyes and began to move his fingers as he calculated.
… …
"Alliance Lord, do you think that these fellows can really find the treasury?"
As the Formation Elder began to calculate, he slowly looked away. On a low hill in the distance, Song Yuanyi and Xie Guangting stood side by side, surrounded by Sikong Yuanjia and the other elders of the alliance.
While everyone else was beginning to dig up the Origin Immortal Treasury, only the people of the Zhengqi League remained motionless.
Although everything seemed to be bustling with activity, there was still no sign that the Origin Immortal Treasury could be opened.
"There's no need to rush. Let's wait and see."
Song Yuanyi calmly gazed at the distant young figure.
Song Yuanyi was well aware that this situation where the martial artists of the various sects were working together was just a facade. Whether they found the treasury or not, there would soon be a bitter battle. Once that happened, he would strike.
"… Let's see how long you can last!"
Song Yuanyi's eyes flashed for a moment, but he quickly calmed down.
… …
"To the southwest, push the first stone pillar!"
A few moments later, the Formation Elder opened his eyes and issued his first order.
Rumble! Following the Formation Elder's order, several martial artists pushed a stone pillar to the southwest. A moment later, the earth rumbled, and to everyone's shock, the ground to the northwest split open, a row of stone pillars rising out of the earth in the shape of an arc.
"To the southeast, push the third pillar of the second row!"
The Formation Elder ordered.
Rumble! The earth quaked even more intensely, and elsewhere, another row of stone pillars emerged from the flat ground.
"To the east, the seventh pillar …
"To the south, the fourth pillar!"
… …
With the Formation Elder's order, all the martial artists began to move, and as the earth shuddered, one rock after another began to move in accordance with some sort of pattern.
Under everyone's gaze, a series of chain reactions occurred. In just a moment, a huge stone array appeared in front of everyone's eyes. Then came a second, a third …
Around an hour later, the formation had begun to take shape, and with the Formation Elder's order, the four massive stone pillars in the center of the formation suddenly rose up as if they had come to life.
