"Eh? There's a stone tablet here. "
When the cultivators at the front approached the ladder in the middle, they found a huge stone tablet next to the ladder. There were a lot of words engraved on it. The words were like dragons and snakes, vigorous and powerful, showing the extraordinary and domineering aura of this place.
"Heavenly Yin Mountain, located in the Heavenly Yin Mountain Range, close to the sea. It is three thousand li high. The spirit veins of the Heavenly Yin Mountain contain powerful Heavenly Yin energy, and the heart of the veins has already nurtured Heavenly Yin essence."
"Heavenly Yin Sect, built on the spirit veins of the Heavenly Yin Mountain. Relying on the Heavenly Yin energy provided by the spirit veins, it became one of the top sects in the Cultivation Domain. At its peak, there were dozens of Great Ascension Stage experts and nearly a thousand Profound Void Stage experts …"
"What? Dozens of Great Ascension Stage experts and nearly a thousand Profound Void Stage experts? "
At this point, these self-cultivators had already lost their cool. Their heads buzzed as they recalled the contents of the stone tablet.
"What's wrong? Why aren't they moving? Those in front, move, move! "
"What's going on? Is there a Body Securing Talisman? Let me see. What? Dozens of Great Ascension Stage experts and nearly a thousand Profound Void Stage experts? "
The cultivators at the back saw that the people in front of them were standing motionless at the bottom of the ladder. They were curious and wanted to see what was going on. Then, they were also dumbstruck.
"Hey, what's going on in front? Fortunately, we're at the back. "
Ruan Biao looked at the line in front of them getting longer and said with some relief.
"Why does it look like they've all been immobilized?" Luo Ping said.
"Then we have to be careful. Let's not get close and wait for the changes." Yu Qing said.
At this time, half of the cultivators had gathered around the stone tablet, forming a semicircle. It completely blocked the line of sight of the people behind and no new cultivators could squeeze in.
"How about I use the 'Flying Dragon Roar' to shock them?" Fei Tian said.
He and Yu Zhou were walking in the middle of the line. Now that they were close to the motionless crowd, he had no choice but to use the Flying Dragon Hall's sound wave technique to try.
"Ah … hahaha, this must be the mountain gate of an ancient sect. I'm going to be rich."
Suddenly, an ecstatic shout came from the front, attracting the attention of the people behind. This shout was like a stone that caused a thousand ripples, triggering a chain reaction. Waves of exclamations came from the front.
"Could it be an illusion? Have you lost your mind? "
The people behind him thought to themselves.
"Get out of the way. Aren't you just wasting time here?"
An impatient voice interrupted their clamor. Everyone was about to fly into a rage, but when they saw the appearance of the person who spoke, they restrained themselves.
A group of over fifty people was wearing the uniform of the Thunder Crane Merchant Guild. They could be said to be the largest group here. Before entering the mountain peak, they didn't reveal anything. Now that they had entered the mountain peak, there was almost no one who could compete with them.
Those self-cultivators standing at the front could only retreat to the side. A wise man knows better than to fight when the odds are against him. The other party had gathered over fifty people, and there was no lack of Late Nascent Soul Stage self-cultivators. It wasn't worth offending them now. It wouldn't be too late to teach them a lesson when they saw the treasure.
Of course, the members of the Thunder Crane Merchant Guild didn't know what those self-cultivators were thinking. They all approached the stone tablet to take a look. When they reached the end, their faces changed drastically. However, they weren't like the self-cultivators who fell into a daze.
"Extreme Yin Sect? It's actually the ancient sect, Extreme Yin Sect? "
A Late Nascent Soul Stage member of the Thunder Crane Merchant Guild muttered. He was the leader of the Merchant Guild's operation this time and also the person with the strongest cultivation. As a major force in the Cultivation Domain, the Thunder Crane Merchant Guild had a comprehensive collection of information about the ancient times.
Among them, there were some information about the Extreme Yin Sect. This expert had coincidentally seen it before, so he had a deep impression of it. Now that he saw that the mountain peak in front of him was actually the mountain gate of the Extreme Yin Sect, he was both surprised and excited.
"Captain Ji, you know about the Extreme Yin Sect?"
A member of the Merchant Guild asked. From Captain Ji's tone, he clearly sensed something. The other members also looked at Captain Ji. Even the other self-cultivators surrounded him.
"Extreme Yin Sect? Have you heard of it before? "
Luo Ping asked Yu Qing and the others who were beside him. They all shook their heads. Since it was an ancient sect, who knew how long it had disappeared. Only some powerful forces would have records of it.
"Let's go closer and listen."
Qing Chengzi said.
"Of course I know about it. It was a top-tier sect in the ancient times. It was definitely an overlord level existence. However, it eventually disappeared in the long river of history." Captain Ji said.
"Captain Ji, is the situation described on the stone tablet true? Did the Extreme Yin Sect really have so many experts? "
Thinking about the situation described on the stone tablet, everyone couldn't remain calm. Even if all the experts in the Cultivation Domain were added together, they probably wouldn't have as many experts as the Extreme Yin Sect.
"It's true. In the ancient times, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth was abnormally dense. The self-cultivators cultivated more smoothly. Not only were their cultivation speed extremely fast, but their cultivation strength was also much higher than the current self-cultivators of the same level. Even if they were to face the Heaven's Tribulation, many Profound Void Stage self-cultivators could easily pass it."
"Therefore, at that time, the number of powerhouses at the Great Vehicle Stage was basically dozens, and the number of powerhouses at the Dongxu Stage was close to a thousand. As for the powerhouses below the Longevity Stage, there were thousands of them …"
… …
"Oh my god, it's too f * cking awesome. I wish I was born in the ancient times!"
"Now in the Cultivation Domain, there are only a few Great Vehicle Stage powerhouses in the first-class sects. It's really declining."
"I didn't expect the ancient times to be so glorious. It's a pity that I couldn't experience it myself!"
Hearing Captain Ji's introduction, whether it was the members of the Thunder Crane Merchant Guild or the other self-cultivators, a sense of yearning arose from the depths of their hearts. They couldn't wait to experience the cultivation atmosphere of the ancient times.
"What kind of period was the ancient times? Why did it decline to the current situation? "
Luo Ping lamented in his heart. He had never heard of such a thing before. Captain Ji's words raised a lot of questions in his mind.
"Captain Ji, since the ancient times were so glorious, why did a top-tier sect like the Taiyin Sect disappear? And why is it so difficult to cultivate in the Cultivation Domain now?"
Someone asked the same question as Luo Ping. Hearing this, Captain Ji gently shook her head and said, "I believe that many sects are working hard to find the answer to this matter. However, there is no conclusion yet. There are no records of that period of history. It's as if it disappeared into thin air. No one knows how these top-tier sects disappeared, and no one knows why the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is getting thinner and thinner."
"It is said that there were some differences between the cultivation realms in ancient times and now. Almost everyone could advance to the Nascent Soul stage, just like the Foundation Establishment stage now. The Nascent Soul stage back then was the threshold for cultivation …"
Captain Ji's words were like a heavy hammer that fiercely pounded on everyone's chests, causing their breathing to quicken. In this group of people, they were all at the Golden Elixir Stage and the Nascent Soul Stage.
However, they had experienced countless dangers and fortuitous encounters to cultivate to such a stage. Only they knew how difficult it was. Many of their companions had left them midway.
This cultivation realm could be said to be obtained through hard work on the edge of life and death. However, in the ancient times, it was only the threshold for cultivation. Moreover, almost everyone could reach the Nascent Soul Stage. This was too tempting.
"Don't think too much about it. Although the cultivation speed in the ancient times was very fast and the advancement was relatively smooth, there were too many strong cultivators. The competition and battles between them were also abnormally intense. Even the Nascent Soul Stage cultivators were not much better off than the Foundation Establishment Stage now."
Captain Ji saw everyone's expression and knew what they were thinking. Hence, with a sentence, he pulled everyone back to reality. That's right. While having strength, the danger level of survival also increased by a lot. It wasn't easy to survive in this place.
"Since the Lunar Sect is so strong, there must be countless treasures in the sect. Although I don't know why it appeared here, since we have encountered it, we can't return empty-handed."
Bu Tianzong looked at the few ladders in front of him, his burning gaze exposed. When the others heard his words, the flames of greed and desire also ignited in them.
"Then what are we waiting for? Hurry up and take a look. Who knows, there might be countless treasures waiting for us up there?"
"Yes, these ladders must be the path to the Lunar Sect. Everyone, don't hesitate."
"Why isn't everyone moving? Don't tell me you don't want the treasures? "
Although these people all shouted that they wanted to climb the ladders, none of them really moved. After all, they were not sure if there was any danger waiting for them. They all wanted others to take the lead.
Luo Ping stood at the edge of the group, carefully checking the situation of the ladders with his spiritual sense. Fortunately, his spiritual sense was not restricted here and could be used normally.
These ladders were made of an unknown material. They looked as white as jade and there seemed to be some fluorescent embellishments on the insides of the ladders, adding a lot of beauty.
There were a total of six ladders, evenly distributed in the space in front of them. Each ladder had eighty-one steps, extending all the way to the top of the tall building. It seemed that they could only slowly walk up one step at a time.
To these cultivators, although they could not fly, their speed was still very fast. Eighty-one steps were not a problem for them. The key was whether there was any danger.
After a while, everyone calmed down and released their spiritual sense to check the situation of the ladders. After a long while, everyone showed a disappointed expression.
"There's nothing strange? Is there no danger? "Luo Ping was somewhat in disbelief.
"Hmph, since none of you are going up, then let me take the lead."
Seeing that no one moved, Bu Tianzong walked out. After all, he had a better understanding of all kinds of array techniques and was still very confident.
"Brother Bu is righteous. This little brother admires you." Yu Zhou seized the opportunity to praise.
Bu Tianzong disdained Yu Zhou's words and walked directly to the ladder in the middle. He stared at it for a short while before lifting his foot and stepping up.
The first step was easy and there was no abnormality. Bu Tianzong's originally tense mood finally relaxed a little. Then, the second step, the third step …
After walking up ten steps, there was no danger. This made the people below breathe a sigh of relief. The originally nervous and angry cultivators in front of them began to fight again.
