"Look over there!"
"An altar! There's actually an altar! "
There was a hubbub of voices. Looking at the ancient altar that suddenly appeared under the four stone pillars, the crowd became excited.
This altar was extremely ancient, and the outer walls of the altar had been engraved with clouds and beasts, but they were now mottled.
The sudden appearance of this altar immediately attracted everyone's attention.
"Let's go and take a look!"
To the southwest, the Bone Devil Ancestor's eyes flashed, and he was the first to leap forward toward the mysterious altar. He was followed by the Black Yin Ancestor, the Myriad Ghost Ancestor, Jili Laozu, the Four Ends Martial Lord, and the other martial artists, all of them surging toward the central formation.
A few moments later, the area around the altar was packed with martial artists.
Wang Chong and the Evil Emperor were the last to arrive.
At the center of the altar, between the four stone pillars, was a bronze column. When Wang Chong and the Demonic Emperor stepped onto the altar, everyone turned to look.
"Demonic Emperor, Young Master Wang, we're waiting for you."
The moment Wang Chong and his disciple stepped onto the altar, the Black Yin Ancestor's sinister voice rang out in their ears like a venomous snake.
"Young Master Wang, you have all six treasure maps, so the method to open the treasury is definitely on you as well."
Jili Laozu also spoke up.
Nearby, Song Yuanyi and Xie Guangting stood side by side, also looking at Wang Chong.
The atmosphere gradually became somewhat strange and subtle. Even the Four Ends Martial Lord was staring at Wang Chong, a thought flitting through his mind. The thousands of martial artists around the altar also silently stared at Wang Chong.
"Wang Chong …"
In the rear, the Formation Elder tugged on Wang Chong's sleeve, his expression clearly nervous.
Now that the six pieces of the treasure map had been gathered, the precise location of the Origin Immortal Treasury had been found, and the atmosphere of cooperation and tacit understanding between them had vanished. Instead, they slowly started scheming against each other. Even the gazes of the idle cultivators in the surroundings changed, becoming completely different from before.
Who could resist the allure of the Origin Immortal Art and the world's number one?
"Humph, I want to see who is courting death and dares to attack me!"
At this moment, an imposing and domineering voice rang out. Hearing the Demonic Emperor Old Man's voice, the surrounding crowd froze. Even Song Yuanyi and Xie Guangting couldn't help but frown.
For a moment, the surroundings were deathly silent.
Even now, the remnant might of the Demonic Emperor was still a great deterrent to the entire martial arts world.
"Hmph, Evil Emperor, there are so many people watching. Don't tell me you and your disciple are playing tricks and trying to hog it all for yourself? "
The Black Yin Ancestor sneered coldly.
"Everyone, the Demonic Emperor wants to take the Origin Immortal Art for himself. Everyone, do you think we should agree?"
"Absolutely not!"
Everyone responded in unison.
"Everyone, calm down. The Origin Immortal Treasury hasn't been opened yet, so now is not the time for internal strife!"
At this moment, the Lone Silence Ancestor began to speak.
As he spoke, he turned to Wang Chong and the Demonic Emperor.
"Sirs, it wasn't easy to gather six treasure maps. Now, only one step remains. Once the Origin Immortal Treasury is opened, we can rely on our own abilities. Demonic Emperor, what do you think?"
The Demonic Emperor said nothing, but he exchanged a glance with Wang Chong.
"Heh, everyone is overthinking things. I'll have to trouble everyone to move aside. I'll open it."
Wang Chong faintly smiled as he stepped forward.
Although everyone was at odds with each other on the surface, at least on the surface, they still maintained the appearance of fighting without breaking apart.
As everyone watched, Wang Chong slowly walked to the center of the altar, where a bronze pillar protruded from the ground.
This bronze pillar was around one meter tall, and its surface was covered in wave-like patterns and complicated designs. There were also some characters that were even older than Bird Seal Script.
There were no special mechanisms on the surface of the bronze pillar, so no one knew how to control it to open the Origin Immortal Lord's treasury.
"We've already seen it, but we don't know what the crux is. But someone of the Origin Immortal Lord's abilities would never leave behind no clues. Young Master Wang, you were the one who opened the Origin Immortal Formation and took away the treasures inside. You are the only one who can open the formation. "
At this moment, the nearby Four Ends Martial Lord also spoke.
His words drew everyone's attention to Wang Chong.
All was quiet, and Wang Chong said nothing, only continued to examine the bronze pillar at the core of the formation. However, he found no obvious mechanism on its surface. Wang Chong had originally believed that the Energy Condensation Pearl was the crux, but he could not see any grooves on the pillar.
"Mm?"
Suddenly, Wang Chong's eyes flitted over a shallow 'design' at the top of the bronze pillar, and a thought flitted through his mind.
This was a cloud pattern in the shape of a beast. Wang Chong hadn't noticed it at the start, but a moment later, he felt a sense of familiarity.
Wang Chong immediately took out the black sculpture of a small beast from his bosom.
He had had this sculpture for some time now, but unlike the Energy Condensation Pearl, Wang Chong had never been sure what use this black sculpture had. Even his master, the Evil Emperor, and the Chief Of Wushang had tried to find out what was so special about it.
But the final conclusion was that it was just an ordinary sculpture.
Kacha, Wang Chong had just placed the black sculpture on the pillar when a strong suction force immediately burst forth from within the bronze pillar, firmly sucking the sculpture in.
Not only that, the cloud pattern in the shape of a beast immediately contracted inward, sucking the sculpture in.
Kacha, under everyone's gaze, a series of mechanical sounds rang out, and in the blink of an eye, with a rumble, the entire bronze pillar immediately sank into the ground, disappearing without a trace.
And immediately after, there was another rumble, and another square bronze pillar rose from the ground. This time, it was different from before, and there was an obvious dent on the surface of the bronze pillar.
"Young Master Wang, quickly put the treasure map up!"
A voice came from behind. This time, there was no need for anyone to remind Wang Chong, he could see it. Very quickly, six pieces of the treasure map were quickly placed into the square bronze pillar.
Whoosh!
Before anyone could take a closer look, violet flames erupted from the stone pillar, incinerating the six pieces of the treasure map that Wang Chong had placed on it.
"Ah!"
"How could this be!"
Cries of alarm rang out from the crowd. No one had expected for Wang Chong to place the six pieces of the treasure map on the pillar to produce this sort of result.
Now that all six pieces of the treasure map had been burned away, there were no more Origin Immortal Art treasure maps in the world.
But a moment later, while everyone was still immersed in their shock, the thing that they had all been waiting for happened.
After spewing out violet flames, the bronze pillar began to descend, and a series of mechanical sounds came from the ground.
As the crowd cried out in alarm, the altar that had just risen from the ground began to sink back down. Following that, a series of rumbling sounds came from underground and spread out in all directions with the place where the crowd was standing as the center.
At the same time, the grinding of gears began to rain down on the altar. The crowd cried out in alarm, many of them showing signs of panic.
The unknown represented something terrifying. No one knew what the changes in front of them represented.
"Look over there!"
Suddenly, a martial artist in the crowd pointed forward and called out.
Wang Chong subconsciously turned his head and looked in that direction.
A moment later, Wang Chong's body trembled, and a look of shock appeared on his face. Cries of alarm came one after another.
On the horizon, a majestic and magnificent mountain, several hundred meters tall, suddenly appeared before everyone's eyes.
To their astonishment, they had clearly searched the area and found that this mountain had never been there before. It was as if it had suddenly sprung up overnight.
But this was not what caused them to cry out in alarm. This massive mountain that had appeared out of nowhere was identical to the illusion of the Origin Immortal Mountain they had seen before.
"Fake! This has to be fake!"
"It's already appeared once. Does that mean that there's another Origin Immortal Formation there?"
"I don't believe it! It must be an illusion!"
… …
So many people had died in the Origin Immortal Formation, and it was still fresh in their minds. One could easily imagine the shock they felt when they saw an identical Origin Immortal Mountain.
Some of the martial artists who had experienced the Origin Immortal Formation even showed deep fear on their faces, no longer feeling any excitement.
"Alliance Lord, what's going on here? Why has another Origin Immortal Mountain appeared?"
At this moment, the members of the Zhengqi Alliance were also examining the Origin Immortal Mountain that had appeared out of nowhere.
"This should be the real Origin Immortal Mountain."
Song Yuanyi indifferently said as he looked into the distance. His expression was so calm that it was impossible to tell what he was thinking.
"Formidable! Truly formidable! Reversing the universe, concealing Yin and Yang … The Origin Immortal Lord's mastery of formations has reached an unimaginable level. I truly didn't think that I would be able to see such a supreme level of formations in my lifetime! "
At this moment, no one was more excited than the Formation Elder. Those who did not understand formations would be completely bewildered by what they were seeing and would have no idea what was going on.
But to a formation grandmaster like the Formation Elder, everything he saw contained a vast amount of information.
