The major Sect wasn't completely unprepared. Yang Chen had already reminded them at the beginning that it wasn't Yang Chen who provided the recipe. It was obvious that someone was playing tricks on them. They would be fools if they didn't guard against it.
However, even though they were on guard, the elixir didn't seem to have much of a problem. The masters of the various pharmacies had checked it countless times, but they couldn't find any hidden traps inside. This wasn't the kind of crystal used during the demonic calamity in the mortal world. It was refined by themselves. There shouldn't be any problem with eating it, right?
In particular, when the Mysterious Heaven Sect said that there was no problem, the major Sect basically relaxed their vigilance. Of course, this was only a part of the people. The higher-ups were still very tense and didn't dare to relax. The smart ones directly stared at Chunyang Palace. When Chunyang Palace allowed their disciples to take it, they would follow suit. If Chunyang Palace didn't allow their disciples to take it, then everything would be over.
It was just that although the major sects were on guard, they were not like the Pure Yang Palace, setting up sect rules to strictly guard. It was just a kind of elixir that didn't have any side effects. It wasn't worth such a big fuss. Moreover, there were many disciples in each Sect, and many of them were tired of cultivating. With this kind of elixir, they could collectively improve the cultivation of a large number of disciples. As long as the Sect didn't encourage it, it was enough.
This was also the attitude of most Sect. They didn't encourage it, but they didn't know about the restrictions on it. They just treated it as a kind of elixir that could assist in cultivation, like the Questioning Inner Heart Pill. It only played a supporting role. In the end, the cultivation still depended on the cultivator themselves.
However, the major Sect's attitude was very consistent in one aspect. Even the group of experts who had entered the trial grounds were thinking the same thing.
Except for the Mysterious Heaven Sect, who already knew that there was a problem with this elixir, they deliberately let some masters take the Heart Refining Pill so that they could easily enter the trial ground. The other Sect arranged for masters to enter without knowing.
Like the Mysterious Heaven Sect, the masters who entered the trial ground were all in small teams. There were dozens of people at most, dozens at least, and at least five or six people. Everyone entered in groups. On one hand, they could take care of each other, and on the other hand, they wouldn't be eaten by others all of a sudden.
This method was commonly used when recovering lost territory, especially when entering the territory of Xuan Immortal demonic beasts. Fighting alone against low-level demonic beasts was still alright, but when encountering high-level demonic beasts, one would die on sight. Only by gathering like this could they slowly eliminate the demon beasts bit by bit and recapture the lost land.
The Zhao Family was targeting the experts from all sides, so they were not surprised to see such a situation. It had been many years since the start of the Demonic Tribulation, and many experts had used the same method. In any case, the Zhao Clan's trap was just to make more and more Xuan Immortal experts enter the depths of the trial grounds. As for the method, the Zhao Clan didn't care.
The trump card used to eliminate these experts was the Addictive Medicinal Qi. As long as the Medicinal Qi was released, these experts would definitely be affected for at least two breaths. In a battle between experts, two breaths were enough to determine life and death. Although the various Sect had many Xuan Immortal experts, the Zhao Clan had many experts as well, right?
When Yang Chen announced the news, it was the time when the Zhao Clan was already planning to make a move. Yang Xi's calculation was accurate. From Yang Chen's announcement of the conspiracy of the refining heart pill to the news being sent to the major Sect, there was still a time difference. This time difference was just enough for the major Sect to know, but they couldn't inform the elites of the trial grounds. After that, they couldn't blame Yang Chen. In order to add a halo to Yang Chen's head again, Yang Xi was also painstaking.
The elites of the trial grounds were indeed in trouble. However, the trouble they encountered was not the conspiracy of the refining heart pill, but the core array of the trial grounds. It was the array that blocked Yang Chen and Li Cheng from entering the real core area. If it weren't for Yang Chen's Zhao Clan Manor, which belonged to the same lineage of magic weapons, it would have been impossible for the two of them to enter the core of the trial grounds without disturbing anyone.
The current trouble encountered by the masters of the major Sect was exactly the same as that encountered by Yang Chen and Li Cheng. An invisible barrier blocked them outside the core area. Once this invisible barrier was explored by Divine Sense for a long time, it would even absorb Divine Sense and even kill the cultivator.
Because of this characteristic of devouring Divine Sense, at least hundreds of Xuan Immortal experts were sucked dry and died in vain.
The purpose of the major Sect to send Xuan Immortal experts into the trial grounds was nothing more than to clear the Xuan Immortal beasts in the trial grounds and to find the whereabouts of the Zhao Clan. The former goal had been achieved by so many masters in almost ten years. However, the latter goal had not been found.
After clearing the beasts on the periphery, it was natural to enter the core area. All the Xuan Immortal experts who came in were a little excited. In the past, many generations of strong masters could only circle around the periphery of the trial grounds. Now, with the help of the refining heart pill, they finally touched the edge of the core area. Many people were very excited.
The more powerful this invisible barrier was, the more it meant that there was a problem inside. The reason was simply obvious. During the battle of the Three River Alliance, the Zhao Clan had so many Xuan Immortal beasts. Everyone had also guessed the source.
Once they thought that the other side of the barrier was the Zhao Clan's lair, the masters of the various sects couldn't help but feel itchy. At this time, everyone basically followed the unspoken rule of the past. Whichever Sect would attack from the direction that the Sect originally controlled. However, they were all blocked by this barrier.
Every Sect paid the price of several Xuan Immortal experts. However, it also made everyone understand that this barrier couldn't be casually probed with Divine Sense. The elites of various sects were gathered in this area, trying to find ways to break this barrier and enter the back.
At this stage, the various Sect's tacit cooperation had also begun a healthy competition. Everyone already had a common understanding that whichever Sect broke this barrier first would be the biggest winner. Even if they were to be rewarded based on merit in the future, it would be the greatest merit.
Basically, the masters of various sects were also gathered together and distributed in all directions. Other than the few Xuan Immortal beasts that were occasionally sweeping the outer periphery of the trial grounds, almost all the elite masters were outside the barrier.
What the Zhao Clan wanted was for the masters to be gathered together so that it would be convenient to catch them all in one fell swoop. If the attack failed, it wouldn't be so easy to wipe out so many Xuan Immortal experts if they scattered.
The Zhao Clan, who had been keeping an eye on the masters of various sects, began to deploy their forces. When all the preparations were done, they suddenly launched a thunderous attack.
