In the depths of the wasteland, Qilin's son, Ancestor Hou Tian, Eccentric Green Hat, Ghost Mother, Rakshasa, and Daoist Three Faces were gathered in the air. They arranged themselves in a Five Elements Formation and sent out their spiritual energy.
After a short while, the spiritual energy representing the five elements of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth gathered together and poured into the void before them. After ten breaths of time, a cracking sound could be heard. The realm gate that had been forcibly opened in the void slowly opened, revealing an entrance about three feet wide.
Qilin's son shouted in a deep voice, "What are you waiting for? Hurry up and enter. This gate can only be maintained for the time it takes an incense stick to burn."
Upon hearing this, Yi Tian and the others on the ground hastily shone with spiritual light. Then, they turned into streaks of light and flew into the opening.
After the last person entered, the five cultivators stopped in unison, and the gap in the void closed with a sound.
After the five of them stopped and landed on their clouds, Eccentric Green Hat spoke first, "Ghost Mother, you're willing to pay a heavy price this time. You've spent nearly two thousand years nurturing this ghost child, right? It's a pity to use him like this. "
Ghost Mother, Rakshasa's face was full of disdain as she said, "A mere ghost child is not worth mentioning. Compared to Brother Qilin, you've even used your own son, I'm nothing."
"Speaking of which, I have some doubts about Brother Hou Tian's representative. You didn't just randomly find a late Deity Transformation cultivator to give us, did you?" Daoist Three Faces said in a strange tone.
Ancestor Hou Tian's face twitched and he said, "You may not know this, but this person's origin cannot be underestimated. He entered the Taiqing Pavilion's inner sect two hundred years ago. At that time, he was only at the early Deity Transformation stage. "
"Impossible," Ghost Mother, Rakshasa, interrupted, "According to the records in the Spirit Realm, it takes at least five hundred years to refine a late Deity Transformation cultivator from the early Deity Transformation stage."
"Nothing is absolute. When did I realize this person's potential? That's why I nurtured him at all costs." Roar Sky sneered. "To be honest, his strength is not below your Ghost Child. Moreover, I even gave him the jade fangs and Brother Green-haired's black tortoise shell."
When Daoist Three Faces heard this, his expression changed. "Dao has Dao. He's really willing to give him such an important item. It seems he thinks highly of this person." He then turned to look at Eccentric Green Hat. No one knew what he was thinking.
Instead, it was Green Hair who was flustered and exasperated by his stare. He said, "This brat's strength isn't bad. In the last competition, he directly killed the person I chose on the spot. In my opinion, his strength is almost as strong as Brother Qilin's son, Blood Qilin. "
"That's enough. Even if you continue arguing, you're just talking about irrelevant things," the Qilin son interrupted. It was obvious that the conversation about him had touched his sore spot.
After a pause, the Qilin son said, "It doesn't matter how strong they are. As long as we extract enough Immortal Core Power from them, it'll be fine. During this year, their bodies have unknowingly become vessels for storing Immortal Core Power. Don't tell me you've forgotten what happened last time? "
"How could I not remember?" Ghost Mother Rakshasa chuckled. "I have to thank Brother Hou Tian and Brother Qilin for putting righteousness before family and personally killing the disciples who came out. Only then did we all get a share of the loot."
Roar Sky's expression darkened when he heard her words. It was true that the five of them had set up this situation. They had sent their elite disciples to the spatial rift to search for Immortal Core Power. After bringing them out, they would personally kill them and extract their primordial spirits. These disciples who had stayed in the spatial rift for more than a year would have unknowingly absorbed a sufficient amount of Immortal Core Power. In addition to the Immortal Core Power they had collected and stored in the vessels, it was barely enough for the five of them to divide equally.
However, the task of killing and extracting their primordial spirits was still done by the Body Integration cultivators. However, Ghost Mother's words had clearly touched a sore spot for the Qilin son and Patriarch Roar Sky, and it was no wonder that they were so displeased.
At this moment, the green-furred eccentric interjected, "Don't forget our original intentions, everyone. Progressing to the Grand Ascension Stage is extremely difficult, and without this Immortal Core Power, we'll most likely never be able to break through that barrier. Don't let your emotions get the better of you."
The Qilin son and Roar Sky's expressions eased slightly upon hearing this, and the light in their eyes also became extremely cold. In the face of the great dao, everything else could be abandoned; who would care about something as trivial as betraying their disciples?
At the same time, Yi Tian and the others arrived at a massive spatial gate after entering the fragment of the True Immortal Realm. The five of them glanced at one another and remained on guard. Soon after, Xue Lin rose up into the air and flew off in a certain direction.
As for Ghost Child, he harrumphed coldly before flying off in the opposite direction. He seemed to have no interest in the other three and was only focused on his own mission.
After they left, Yi Tian turned to look at the green-furred eccentric's disciple, who slowly strode over to him, and said, "My name is Mo Yun. Brother Yi, Fellow Daoist Zhou, would you like to have a chat with me?"
The disciple of Daoist Three Faces was surnamed Zhou, and he slowly strode over to Brother Yi. "My name is Zhou Sen; greetings to you, Brother Yi. How may I help you, Fellow Daoist Mo Yun?"
The three of them stopped when they were around 30 to 40 feet apart, following which Mo Yun said, "Don't you know that we only have a year left to live? If we leave this place now, we'll be dead for sure."
"What do you mean?" Zhou Sen asked with a tense expression.
Yi Tian replied in a nonchalant manner, "Even I can roughly guess the outcome; this operation really isn't as simple as it seems."
A dejected look appeared on Mo Yun's face as he said, "We're harvesting Celestial Origin Power on this occasion to find an opportunity for Body Integration cultivators to progress to the Grand Ascension Stage."
"That's to be expected; I've also heard about it," Zhou Sen replied.
"But do you know that our bodies are also containers for storing Celestial Origin Power?" Mo Yun said, "This is something that I discovered by chance in that green-furred eccentric's letter."
"I believe you," Yi Tian interjected. "There aren't many reasons for you to set aside your prejudices and cooperate with me, so I believe you."
Mo Yun's eyes lit up upon hearing this. "Are you sure?"
Yi Tian nodded in response. "Mo Xie, who I killed back then, most likely had something to do with you, but the fact that you were able to set aside your prejudices indicates that something far more serious has happened. According to my deduction, you'll only be forced to work with me when your life is in grave danger, right? "
Mo Yun's expression darkened slightly as he continued, "That's indeed the case. Logically speaking, I hate you more than anything as you killed my big brother. However, my rationality tells me that if we want to survive, the three of us have to work together. "
"How do we work together?" Zhou Sen asked.
"We have to find another way out, and if we're lucky enough to escape, then leave immediately and never come back unless you're powerful enough to take on these five Body Integration cultivators at once," Mo Yun replied.
