Everyone knew that Manjushri was about to reach a crucial point. They all held their breaths and listened, not daring to miss a single word.
"She told me that whoever can obtain the Lovesickness Ring is the fated person, the owner of the Sacred Blood Pearl."
Lovesickness Ring? What was that? Was it a weapon or an accessory? Everyone tried their best to search for any knowledge related to these three words in their minds. However, their thoughts were like a clay ox entering the sea. Not a single outline was left.
Manjushri smiled again. "Ha, Lovesickness Ring, this name is really nice. That day, I was like everyone else. I was also confused, so I asked her what the Lovesickness Ring was.
She told me that the Lovesickness Ring was Yuji's weapon. It was the proof of the Overlord Xiang Yu and Yuji's feelings. Whoever finds the Lovesickness Ring can use it to exchange for the Sacred Blood Pearl. I don't know why she must obtain the Lovesickness Ring, but since she said so, I must do it for her. "
"Then where is the Lovesickness Ring? How come we haven't heard anything about it for thousands of years? Manjushri, you gathered everyone here with great fanfare. Is it just for us to listen to your story? "someone asked anxiously.
Many people were already muttering in their hearts, What fated person, maybe this old guy is playing us like monkeys!
This Manjushri didn't directly state his request. Instead, he went so far. First, he brought up a mysterious woman, and then the Lovesickness Ring that no one had ever heard of. What was he doing?
"Everyone, please calm down." Manjushri saw that the scene was a bit chaotic. He hurriedly calmed everyone's emotions and said, "Since I dared to send out a Hero's Invitation, I naturally have confidence in obtaining the Lovesickness Ring. However, this is a serious matter, and I cannot do it. I must rely on the help of all of you good brothers. "
Yang Xugu once again surveyed the entire audience. Seeing that all of the reputable sect figures in Immortal Grove were basically all present, he inwardly mused: "Gathering everyone's strength, there really isn't anything that can't be done."
Manjushri said, "Actually, the Lovesickness Ring is in the Northern Sea Wastelands. That is why I invited everyone to the Sunset Plains."
When such explosive news came out, many people couldn't help but look at their feet. The Northern Sea Wasteland was a barren land with sparse vegetation. If there was a place to hide treasures, the most likely place would be under the thick yellow soil.
Manjushri looked up at the sky with a warm smile on his face. "I wonder if you have heard of the legend of the 'Dream of the Great Wilderness'?"
A dream of the great wilderness?
Many of the people present were from the sects near the North Sea. When they heard these words, they couldn't help but shiver. Their eyes were filled with fear.
"Many of you are from the Three Mountains and Five Peaks, so you might not understand. In the desert, there would occasionally be mirages. Tall buildings and jade palaces would appear out of nowhere, but in reality, there was nothing there. The Great Wilderness Dream is very similar to Fata Morgana. Both are illusions that appear out of thin air. However, the Great Wilderness Dream is even rarer. It only appears once every 30 years. "
"So you're saying that the Lovesickness Ring is in the Dream of the Great Wilderness?" Many people were smart enough to know that Manjushri would not say such things for no reason. Hence, they came to a conclusion that was most likely the truth.
30 years? Guan Shuo's eyes lit up. Didn't Manjushri disappear exactly 30 years ago? Did that mean that Manjushri had encountered the Great Wilderness Dream 30 years ago?
Liu Haixin, the head of the Limitless Sect of the North Sea, suddenly stood up from his chair and called out to his disciples. "Let's go back to the Limitless Sect!"
Guan Shuo and Liu Haixin were old acquaintances. This time, they were supposed to form an alliance to increase their strength. Who would have thought that Liu Haixin would suddenly change his mind and want to withdraw without saying a word?
Guan Shuo hurriedly pulled Liu Haixin's sleeve and asked in confusion, "Old Liu, what are you doing?"
"Old man Guan, let me give you a piece of advice. You better give up on the idea of fighting for the Sacred Blood Pearl! You're already so old. It's better to live a few more years than to dream of becoming an immortal. "
Guan Shuo was stunned. They hadn't seen each other for many years. How did the courageous Liu Haixin become so fearful? He asked curiously, "What's wrong? Is the Great Wilderness Dream very dangerous? Why are you so scared?"
"It's more than dangerous! It's said that there's a mysterious treasure in the Great Wilderness Dream. I didn't expect it to be the Yearning Ring! Oh, I knew it wasn't that simple. Old man Guan, I've said all I want to say. It's up to you whether you want to live or not. "
As soon as Liu Haixin finished speaking, he turned around and left with the other disciples. With a wave of his long sleeves, he didn't take away even a trace of the clouds. Only Guan Shuo was left standing in the wind.
At this time, many people in the field were like Liu Haixin. They no longer wanted the Sacred Blood Pearl and were not interested in watching the fun. They turned around and left without saying a word. They wanted to leave this place as soon as possible. Who knew if the Great Wilderness Dream would appear soon?
Manjushri had already expected such a reaction. He sent out the Hero Invitation because he wanted to rely on the hundreds of people in the chair area.
He coughed and said loudly, "I think you can guess that the Great Wilderness Dream is not as beautiful as its name. It's full of danger and danger. For thousands of years, countless experts have competed to enter the dreamland of the Great Wasteland for the sake of the legendary treasure, but they have never come out again. "
The Great Wilderness Dream originally meant that life was like a dream. After a dream, it would disappear without a trace. Even if you were a master of the Mahayana Stage, it would be difficult to escape from the door of the illusion! Over time, the Great Wilderness Dream became a taboo for the northern self-cultivation sects. They didn't even dare to go near it. Who would have thought that Manjushri would organize people to enter the Great Wilderness Dream!
"Of course, it's not that no one has come out of the Great Wilderness Dream safe and sound. Therefore, although this trip is very dangerous, it's not completely impossible. "
Manjushri seemed to have returned to thirty years ago. When he came back from collecting herbs, he was surprised to find an unconscious woman in white lying on the snow. He was shocked and his heart was beating like a young man. The old tree that was about to wither suddenly sprouted leaves again.
"Who, who can come out of the Great Wilderness Dream safe and sound?" Liu Haixin hadn't gone far when he heard Manjushri's words. He stopped in his tracks but didn't turn back. "No matter who it is, it's not a senior from the Limitless Sect. It's also not Liu Haixin." He shook his head and walked away with his disciples.
Manjushri continued, "Thirty years of a dream, and today it has come again. At a quarter to five, the door of the Great Wilderness Dream will open on time. If anyone wants the Saint Blood Bead, come with me and find the Yearning Ring. "
Dustfree thought to himself, "The person Manjushri is talking about must be that mysterious woman. This opportunity is also the reason why Manjushri's cultivation has advanced by leaps and bounds to the Nascent Soul stage. Unfortunately, the Qinglong Temple only sent me, Jie Tan, and Jie Chi to the North Sea. It's hard to tell whether the Sacred Blood Pearl is real or fake. Distant water can't quench a nearby thirst. Luck or misfortune can only depend on the will of the heavens. "
"Since you've come to the North Sea from so far away, you're naturally my good friends. However, the door of the Great Wilderness can only allow three hundred people to enter at a time. It will automatically close after that. Thus, I've set up an arena in hopes of selecting the most suitable candidates.
Furthermore, I must make it clear that entering the Great Wilderness Dream is equivalent to risking one's life. According to what I know, in the past three hundred years alone, three thousand Grand Ascension experts have gone but never returned. Moreover, whether or not they can find the Yearning Ring is still unknown. Thus, for those friends who haven't reached the Golden Elixir stage, I advise you to be cautious. "
As soon as he said this, there was an uproar below the arena. It was as if a basin of cold water had been poured over them. Their boundless enthusiasm turned cold.
Manjushri's words shouldn't be false. It was no wonder that the sects in the North left without a care for anything when they heard about the Great Wilderness Dream. They weren't fools. Although the Sacred Blood Pearl was incomparably precious, their lives were obviously more important.
If they lost their lives, how could they become immortals or saints?
Furthermore, Manjushri had made it clear that whether or not they could find the Yearning Ring was another matter altogether. In other words, the price of "risking their lives" and the reward of "just possibly obtaining the Sacred Blood Pearl" didn't match.
Although wealth could move people's hearts, if they were clearly being used as cannon fodder, even a fool would choose to refuse.
Immediately, many people cupped their hands towards Manjushri and said, "Many thanks for Immortal Elder's advice. This trip to the North Sea has been a great success. We'll take our leave first. "Even the representatives of the large sects on their seats hurriedly left.
The number of people retreated like a tide. In the blink of an eye, several thousand people had left. This didn't even include the stragglers who had only come to watch the show. In any case, it wasn't five yet and they had nothing to do, so they decided to continue watching the show.
Manjushri was also stunned. Although he'd expected many people to choose to withdraw, he hadn't expected there to be so many. In the past thousand years, with the rise of the ten great sects, the cultivation world had become increasingly rational and hot-blooded. They had a very good grasp of the balance of benefits.
"It seems that the Sacred Blood Pearl alone isn't attractive enough. But for her, I'm willing to sacrifice everything. After thirty years, the dream of the great wilderness has finally been reborn. No matter what, I'll find the Lovesickness Ring and fulfill her wish. "
He stared blankly for a long while before rousing his spirits. He looked at the people below the stage in twos and threes, either sitting or standing. He said, "If you're sure you want to enter the great wilderness with this old man, please come up to the stage. Hei Yi, do a headcount first. "
The people below the stage looked at each other. None of them wanted to be the first to enter the stage. Although they were determined to obtain the Sacred Blood Pearl, if they were the first to enter the stage, they'd inevitably become the target of public criticism. It was hard to guarantee that the others wouldn't gang up on them.
After a while, Guan Shuo lifted his crescent saber and leaped onto the arena. "You famous sects are not leaving, nor are you coming up. Isn't it a waste of time to make such a fuss? Manjushri, this old man Guan Shuo will accompany you on this trip. "
Manjushri smiled and said, "Old Brother Guan is old but vigorous. I've heard of you for a long time. I'll have to trouble Old Brother Guan with this matter."
With Guan Shuo taking the lead, the people below the stage were easy to handle. They all went up to the stage and reported the headcount to Hei Yi. Dustfree Monk, the Zhang brothers, Hua Nishang, Yang Xugu, the Tang brothers, and other people that Zhao Yun knew didn't withdraw. They all went up to the stage without hesitation.
Zhao Yun, Hu Qing, and the others stood in a corner and carefully linked the whole thing together. His brain wasn't very good, but if he decided on something, even if it was extremely difficult, he had to complete it.
