Despite the division of Mount Suru into three major regions, there would still be many cultivators who found themselves at a disadvantage within.
But this was already the greatest concession Elder Fu Hu could negotiate.
"Mount Suru is a shared territory among our three major sects, on what grounds does your Spirit Dragon Holy Land suddenly change the rules?"
A cultivator at the early stage of the Great Saint Realm soared into the air, intending to question the Supre Saint expert face to face.
Being in the early stage of the Great Saint Realm, he stood no chance against a Supre Saint expert.
No sooner had his figure taken flight than an overwhelming pressure descended, pinning him to the ground.
"Humph, shared by all three? What do you think Heavenly Sword Gate and Xuanhuang Sect are worth to claim shared ownership of Mount Suru?"
The Supre Saint expert showed no rcy as he suppressed the Great Saint expert, who lay prostrate on the ground, unable to get up.
He Qianshan looked around disdainfully and said coldly, "Spirit Dragon Holy Land contributed the most in suppressing Golden Buddha Mountain, and it was the Holy Master himself who seized Mount Suru. Out of compassion, the Holy Master graciously allowed your two sects to send disciples to participate when Mount Suru opens.
If you disdain it, you are very welco not to enter, and we of Spirit Dragon Holy Land will certainly not force you."
"You..."
"You are bullying us too much!"
Who present was not a genius from each of the three great sects? Hearing what He Qianshan said, they were indeed filled with indignation.
Even many cultivators were already contemplating retreat, for although opportunities were important, life was even more precious.
Those allowed to attend the grand event of Mount Suru were all prodigies of their respective families, invincible within their own realms. To fight across realms was exceedingly difficult.
As everyone spoke, the environnt around He Qianshan began to change.
Behold.
Behind He Qianshan initially stood a stone hill about half the height of a person.
The hill was rugged with stones, on which were carved strange Buddhas and mythical beasts—Suan Ni, Qiong Qi, Buddhist Pagoda, and various Ancient Fierce Beasts, all vividly detailed.
This was indeed the Supre Treasure of Buddhism—Mount Suru, which ordinarily appeared no more than a hill the size of half a person.
But the space inside this small hill was vast, comparable even to the size of the Nanchi Continent.
On Mount Suru, these fierce beasts cowered and trembled towards the Buddha sitting calmly at the center on a lotus platform, clearly those fierce demons once suppressed within the mountain.
The Buddha carved into the stone was none other than the creator of Golden Buddha Mountain, Sakyamuni. He sat with majestic solemnity, suffusing the entirety of Mount Suru with solemn reverence.
At this mont, the lotus platform beneath Sakyamuni began to sparkle with golden Buddhist light.
The lotus shone brightly, emitting a radiant light, and the surging Buddhist rays began to erge from Mount Suru, converging before He Qianshan.
Streams of Buddhist Law and the Dao flowed incessantly, and soon, a shining golden gateway manifested.
This gateway, bathed in Buddhist light and enveloped in sacred chants, appeared sacred and pure, like the gates to the Western Paradise.
However, the light screen above the gateway was still shifting, not yet fully open.
"Mount Suru is about to open!" Seeing this spectacle, everyone understood.
"Elder Fu Hu, please proceed. Now, it's up to you!"
He Qianshan looked indifferently at Fu Hu and spoke.
Fu Hu placed his palms together, chanting the Buddha's na. He stepped up to the divine gateway of Mount Suru.
Fu Hu sat cross-legged in front of Mount Suru, reciting Buddhist Scriptures, similarly enveloped in the radiance of a thousand rays of Buddhist light.
With the chanting of the Scriptures.
At that mont,
there ca a "beep" sound as the light screen above the gatehouse began to dissipate. Within the gate, mists were heavy, and rosy clouds abounded. The solemn Buddhist light and the misty Immortal Qi spilled out.
The Mount Suru passage had fully opened!
"Such intense Qi of creation!"
The Spiritual Energy and Qi of creation surging from within the Mount Suru passage instantly set everyone ablaze with excitent.
This was rely the Spiritual Energy erging from the passage of the small world, and it was already comparable to that of an ordinary Blessed Land.
It was hard to imagine what incredible opportunities and creatures of creation awaited inside Mount Suru!
Seeing the creation-enriched Spiritual Energy flowing from the passage, many cultivators who had been ready to retreat were now filled with fervor in their eyes.
With He Qianshan's resolute shout, Mount Suru was officially open.
The next mont, nurous geniuses surged towards the Mount Suru passage, afraid of falling behind.
"Rember, the Mount Suru passage will only be open for three days. You must return within these three days, or else you will be trapped inside the mountain until the next opening in thirty thousand years."
Hearing this, the crowd went mad, frantically propelling their movent techniques towards the gatehouse.
With only three days of open ti, every second had to be fought for.
"Huo'er, Xian'er, you two must be extrely careful inside!" Ye Xuanji ca over to Ji Huo'er and Ling Xian'er to caution them.
Although both of them were only at the late stage of the Immortal Platform Realm, their strength was not weaker than that of an ordinary practitioner in the late stage of Dragon Transformation; he was not overly worried about them.
"Grandfather Xuan Ji, you should also be careful!" Ji Huo'er said obediently.
Ye Xuanji, being at the late stage of the Great Saint Realm, could hold his own against all but the experts at the late stage of the Supre Saint Realm, even having a chance to withstand a couple of moves against an ordinary late-stage Supre Saint.
"Of course, even if I were to et a late-stage Supre Saint expert, I could still preserve myself," Ye Xuanji said.
After bidding farewell to the two, Ye Xuanji also shot towards the passage.
"Ye Shiyi, you've just broken through to the ridian Opening Realm. If you encounter a high-rank ridian Opening Realm martial artist or soone from the Spirit Martial Realm, you won't have any chance to fight back. Why don't you just wait outside for us to return?" Ji Huo'er looked at Ye Shiyi and said.
"No!" Ye Shiyi shook his head, his expression determined as he spoke: "The master once said that cultivation itself is a path against the heavens, and if one wishes to defy the heavens, one will inevitably face all kinds of life-and-death crises, maybe even a fate of soul and spirit scattering.
But I am ready. Since I have chosen this path, how could I possibly shrink back?"
Ye Shiyi was originally just a little beggar from a small city in Dongju Continent. After eting Qinchuan, he embarked on the path of cultivation, and since then, his mindset had undergone earth-shattering changes.
"Good, if that's the case, then be extrely careful."
Ji Huo'er didn't try to persuade him further and instead spoke these words.
"Young Master Thirteen, be careful in everything."
Jiang Youwei was also by the side, offering his earnest advice.
"Okay, thank you!" This was the first ti Ye Shiyi directly responded to Jiang Youwei.
As they spoke, everyone began shooting towards the Mount Suru gatehouse.
The radiance of the gatehouse bathed everyone in light, and as Ji Huo'er and others crossed through, they only felt a surge of warmth. Sudden dazzling lights flashed before their eyes.
As the lights faded, the world seed to turn, and Ji Huo'er found herself in a strange place, surrounded by trees as thick as several people around, blocking out the sky and the sun, cloaking the land in darkness.
All around was silence; not only was Ye Shiyi's figure missing, but also Ling Xian'er and Jiang Youwei had vanished.
It turned out Mount Suru randomly transported cultivators to corresponding areas.
PS: I have seen readers ntion that Ye Xuanji has reached the late stage of the Supre Saint, I went back to look through the manuscript, and Ye Xuanji was at the interdiate stage of the Great Saint when he left Tianqing City; in chapter 574, he broke through to the late stage of the Great Saint during the battle with Xi Long. I did not see where he reached the late stage of the Supre Saint, so there must have been a textual mistake concerning the Supre Saint.
