As an outstanding disciple of a first grade clan, Kong Haotian naturally knew more about the immortal realm than the others.
Chen Xiuxiu and the others nodded solemnly at Kong Haotian's words.
"Once a great treasure appears, so many cultivators will fight fiercely for it. Though there are many peerless immortals, treasures with high spirituality will choose their own owners.
"Therefore, every cultivator here will have a chance to fight for it, but the final victor may already be decided.
"Even so, we still have to be prepared to fight for it. Even if the treasure chooses its own owner, we still have to give it a try as long as we have the strength and opportunity."
Luo Ping addressed the crowd.
"However, even if the treasure chooses its own owner, that person still needs to have enough strength to protect the treasure. Otherwise, they will only end up dying and having their treasure taken away."
"So, if we're lucky enough to grab the treasure, won't we have to face so many cultivators here? Given our strength, we won't even have a chance to fight back, will we? "
Jiao Qingyun shook his head.
"Now is the time to reflect the importance of profound weapons. Brother Kong and Brother Luo both have high-grade profound weapons. If we really do manage to grab the treasure and put it among their weapons, I'm sure even ninth level peerless immortals won't be able to sense it.
"Those peerless immortals won't kill all the low-level cultivators in a fit of rage, will they? That way, you'll offend many great powers. "
"Moreover, many peerless immortals have high-grade profound weapons as well. They won't be able to tell who has the treasure, so we don't need to worry."
Jin Nan said.
When everyone heard this, they felt that it made sense.
"You're right, Brother Jin. However, once the great treasure appears and the fight begins, it's hard to say if we'll still be able to gather. Even if we do manage to grab the treasure, I doubt we'll have a chance to hand it over to Brother Kong and Brother Luo."
Jiao Qingyun added.
"It's too early to talk about that now. Let's wait until the treasure appears and act accordingly."
Luo Ping said.
Everyone stopped hesitating when they heard this. Instead, they turned their gazes to the towering fire pillar deep within the Flame Heavenly Mountain.
Like Luo Ping and the others, all the Immortal Cultivators at the border stared at the pillar of fire, unwilling to miss any changes in the pillar of fire. They all wanted to rush in and snatch the precious treasure as soon as it appeared.
This time, because the phenomenon of the Flame Heavenly Mountain was too shocking and special, it attracted the attention and participation of countless forces in the Immortal Region. Basically, every force sent many immortal cultivators to this place.
Therefore, the number of Immortal Cultivators that had gathered at the border of the Flame Sky Mountain was simply too large. Although they did not dare to guarantee that there would definitely be a great treasure appearing at this place, they would not miss even the slightest opportunity.
After all, for immortal cultivators, they had to fight for any opportunity. Only by obtaining opportunities and treasures could they improve their strength and cultivation and cultivate to a higher realm.
After Luo Ping arrived at the Flame Heavenly Mountain, more and more immortal cultivators gathered here. They were all shocked and attracted by the pillar of fire deep within the Flame Heavenly Mountain.
A day later, the intensity of the trembling pillar of fire increased countless times, causing the ground around the Flame Heavenly Mountain to tremble considerably.
Even though the immortal cultivators were at the border of the Flame Heavenly Mountain, they could still feel the ground beneath their feet shaking. Dust and smoke surged into the air and quickly spread out in the distorted space formed by the extremely high temperature, completely enveloping the immortal cultivators.
However, these immortal cultivators had already prepared sufficient defenses. The dust and smoke naturally did not approach them. Even so, the thick dust and smoke still blocked everyone's vision.
Under the obstruction of the dust and distorted space, some of the weaker immortal cultivators' soul power could not sense what was in front of them at all. Even peerless immortals' soul power was greatly affected.
As the pillar of fire's trembling increased, so did the temperature of the flames. This caused the distorted space to become even more distorted.
Moreover, there seemed to be a powerful force within the flames that could block the soul power of immortal cultivators. This was why the peerless immortals were temporarily unable to sense what was going on in the distance.
This situation persisted for a full incense stick's worth of time. Just when everyone was beginning to grow impatient, there was a loud bang. It reverberated through the entire Flame Heavenly Mountain and shook the hearts of all the immortal cultivators.
"Did … did the pillar of fire explode?"
Luo Ping guessed. Though he couldn't sense the situation in the depths of the Flame Heavenly Mountain with his soul power, he could deduce the cause from the loud bang just now.
The other immortal cultivators had their own guesses as well. Their expressions changed drastically, and they all increased their cultivation in an attempt to clearly sense the situation in the distance.
An enormous wave of heat suddenly swept out from the Flame Heavenly Mountain. It reached the immortal cultivators in the blink of an eye and sent them all flying.
Although some of the cultivators with profound cultivation had raised their defenses in time, they were still unable to withstand the onslaught of that power and were sent flying backwards one after another.
"How can this be, Xiuxiu?!"
Luo Ping's expression changed drastically. His voice was filled with confusion, worry, and anger. When he'd released his dual domains to protect Ying Li and Chen Xiuxiu, a terrifying force had suddenly emerged from the heatwave. It passed through his domains without any resistance and swept Chen Xiuxiu away.
In Luo Ping's opinion, this force was so terrifying that even his Profound Heaven Gate domain wouldn't be able to withstand it. In fact, even if he used the Golden Tripod, he wouldn't be able to withstand it.
"Is there an immortal monarch in the Flame Heavenly Mountain? But why did he take Xiuxiu away? "
Luo Ping guessed in his heart, but at the same time, he was deeply puzzled.
However, this didn't slow down his movements in the slightest. He took out the Golden Tripod without hesitation and shot it towards Chen Xiuxiu. The mouth of the tripod pointed at Chen Xiuxiu and released an extremely powerful suction force, wanting to suck her into the tripod.
When Luo Ping raised his cultivation to the limit, the suction force released by the Golden Tripod could be said to have reached an unimaginable level. However, in the face of the mysterious flame energy, it had no effect at all.
Chen Xiuxiu wasn't stopped at all and was swept away by the heatwave. Luo Ping watched as Chen Xiuxiu disappeared in an instant with a regretful expression.
"No … why did you have to do this, Xiuxiu?"
Luo Ping's tone was filled with grief and worry.
After all, it wasn't easy for him to resurrect Chen Xiuxiu. Although he had stayed in the Heavenly Gate for 500,000 years, he had basically been cultivating. Now, Chen Xiuxiu had just wanted to see the Immortal Domain and another accident had happened. How could Luo Ping not feel grief and helplessness?
"Bang!"
Just as he shouted, the surrounding heatwave gathered and directly sent him and Yin Li flying. They retreated for dozens of miles before stabilizing their bodies.
Due to the protection of Luo Ping's Domain Space, Yin Li wasn't hurt. After being hit by the heatwave, Luo Ping's mind instantly became much clearer.
"No, I have to stay calm. I can't lose my mind. I have to stay calm, calm …"
Luo Ping quickly circulated his cultivation technique and suppressed the chaotic emotions in his heart. Soon, he regained his calm state.
"Why did that terrifying power in the heatwave sweep Xiuxiu away? There must be a purpose."
"Could it be that the treasure really has a spirit and wants to choose its own master? I wonder how many people have been swept away. If these people are needed to compete, with Xiuxiu's strength, it will be very dangerous. "
"It's all because the flame power in that fire pillar is too strong. I can't sense the situation of the others at all. I also don't know how many people have been swept away. No, I have to think of a way to save Xiuxiu."
"I have already let Xiuxiu down once. This time, I definitely can't let any harm come to her. Even if I have to be smashed to pieces, I have to save her."
While Luo Ping was guessing in his heart, he also made up his mind. No matter what, he had to save Chen Xiuxiu. He definitely couldn't let Chen Xiuxiu get into an accident again.
Due to the high temperature released by the fire pillar, which contained the power to block soul power, coupled with the dust and smoke, Luo Ping didn't know how many cultivators were swept away by the fire pillar.
With so many cultivators present, Chen Xiuxiu's cultivation was at the bottom. Even if the treasure wanted to choose its own master, it had to be fought for by people with the opportunity. Chen Xiuxiu wouldn't be able to hold on for long.
Therefore, Luo Ping had to enter the Flame Sky Mountain as soon as possible. He had to find Chen Xiuxiu before she was in danger. Thinking of this, Luo Ping directly entered the Golden Tripod with Yinli. He turned into a stream of light and quickly flew into the Flame Sky Mountain.
He couldn't care about Kong Haotian and the others now. He believed that as long as Kong Haotian and the others didn't rashly enter the Flame Sky Mountain, they wouldn't be in danger if they waited here.
The Golden Tripod's speed was extremely fast. In the blink of an eye, it had traversed hundreds of thousands of miles and disappeared into the mountains of the Flame Sky Mountain.
Almost at the same time that Luo Ping entered the mountains, hundreds of streams of light entered from different directions. Then, a large number of streams of light flew in one after another.
However, because the soul power of these cultivators was blocked, they couldn't sense the situation around them at all. Under the shroud of thick dust, a large number of cultivators flew into the Flame Sky Mountain.
Although they couldn't sense the situation in the depths of the Flame Sky Mountain, the loud sound from before and the sudden wave of heat that swept out made them understand that the treasure must have appeared.
They came here for the treasure. Of course, they had to act immediately and try to find the treasure as quickly as possible.
Very soon, there were no more streaks of light flying into the Flame Sky Mountain. The thick dust and the force that was obstructing soul power also began to recede rapidly. Not long after, the entire border of the Flame Sky Mountain returned to normal.
At this time, there were still many cultivators who stayed in the void at the border. They didn't rush in rashly. At this moment, when they saw that the surrounding space had returned to normal, they made the decision to fly into the Flame Sky Mountain.
In a short moment, everyone flew in. In the opposite direction, there were still many cultivators who rushed over and joined the ranks of the cultivators who didn't hesitate to search for the treasure.
