Song Yan said, "This is the best scenario."
An Li said, "What about the bad one?"
Song Yan said, "I sensed sothing off."
An Li furrowed her brow and thought for a long ti, but couldn’t find anything amiss from her mory. She earnestly wanted to pass "Song Yan’s test". She didn’t want to be a burden, nor did she want to be Song Yan’s little pet.
Song Yan smiled and patted her hair, saying, "What have you learned?"
An Li pondered for a while and said, "If I were alone, I definitely wouldn’t co to such a place to stir up trouble."
Song Yan said, "Correct. What else?"
An Li continued, "If I had to co, I would stay in the safest, most convenient spot for escape, never make a scene, otherwise... I would be targeted by soone like you."
After speaking, she curiously asked, "What’s actually wrong here?"
Song Yan said, "Release your Divine Sense, scan to the north, sothing should be unearthed soon."
...
North of the Ziwu Village.
The loose cultivators were frantically digging, working up quite a sweat.
They had expended a lot of effort, digging hole after hole, yet found nothing useful.
And just then, as one cultivator struck their shovel down, suddenly... a frost-like aura surged out, as if refreshing spring water poured into barren earth, making everyone feel suddenly elated.
The cultivator briefly perceived it and was stunned, quickly looking around. Seeing other cultivators approaching and blazing light shining from all directions, he hastily raised his hand to stop them, "I was the first to dig it up! It’s mine!!"
Suddenly, a mighty presence erupted from the crowd.
The cultivators instinctively moved aside as a burly figure in black armor stepped forward.
The cultivator tried to stop him, but was ruthlessly lifted up by the black-armored figure.
More black-armored figures erged from the loose cultivators, their clanging armor was enough to unnerve anyone, while the towering bear-like figures, emanating Evil Qi, made it clear these were dangerous people.
A knowledgeable cultivator exclaid, "West... West Extremity Ancient Country’s Profound Armor Divine Army!!"
The sect system of the West Extremity Ancient Country is quite unique. It doesn’t follow the sect system but rather a military one, with the strongest force being the Profound Armor Divine Army.
The leading black-armored figure coldly glared at the lifted cultivator and said in a deep voice, "This is Formless Ancient Race Territory. Formless Celestial Venerable is on his way, and all discoveries here belong to the Celestial Venerable!!"
His eyes flared with terrifying Evil Qi, angrily throwing that loose cultivator to the ground, saying, "What kind of dog are you? Daring to claim anything here as yours?"
The loose cultivator silently lowered his head.
A nearby cultivator, recognizing the figure, cupped his hands and said, "Could it be Divine Tiger King of the Profound Armor Divine Army in person?"
The leading black-armored figure replied, "The Divine Tiger King is here, but I am rely Dian Kang, an envoy under King!"
With that, he kicked that loose cultivator aside and then said, "Dig! Keep digging!"
The loose cultivator hurriedly seized the opportunity to crawl away, then gritted his teeth, intending to flee.
Dian Kang watched closely, a flash of Evil Qi in his hand knocked him down. Just as he was about to scold, a voice covered the area from afar.
"Everyone... please remain calm. I am the Divine Tiger King."
"Since you are here, you must have heard of my na to so extent."
"Today I am here in place of the Formless Celestial Venerable to oversee this place. Digging here ans touching the Celestial Venerable’s belongings, and that is a cri!"
The cold voice, laced with Killing Intent, sent shivers down their spines.
But then, the tone suddenly changed.
"However, since you haven’t dug up any treasure yet, I am willing to plead with the Formless Celestial Venerable for leniency on your behalf.
Not only that, if you do find any treasures, you may co to for a reward.
But, if anyone rashly tries to leave, don’t bla for taking action to kill!"
"Dian Kang, announce the reward rules."
The loose cultivators, originally contemplating leaving upon seeing an official sect entering, suddenly halted their steps.
The Divine Tiger King, leader of the West Extremity Ancient Country’s Profound Armor Army, although he has an elder above him, has himself reached the Middle Stage of Purple Mansion, as for his power... The Divine Tiger King is known for his prowess in Magical Battle, easily suppressing any disturbance.
But the na "Formless Celestial Venerable" was sowhat unfamiliar to them.
Of course, not completely unfamiliar, as so people were well-inford.
Thus, they quickly explained it to those around them.
"Formless Celestial Venerable is the most formidable existence of the Formless Ancient Race since its foundation. Even at the Early Stage of Purple Mansion, he could kill an Early Stage of Divine Infant.
Upon breaking through the Late Stage of Purple Mansion, a Celestial Tribulation with ninety-nine strikes descended, each capable of annihilating a normal Late Stage of Purple Mansion!
Yet the Formless Celestial Venerable not only withstood ninety-nine Celestial Thunder strikes but also absorbed a bit of Thunder Power from them."
"That’s terrifying..."
"Of course! The Formless Celestial Venerable has now erged and is heading here, no wonder the Divine Tiger King ca early to stake a claim."
"I see..."
The loose cultivators engaged in lively discussion.
The Divine Tiger King listened in silence, not adding any comnts.
He was unsure about the authenticity of the Thunder Power rumor, but the "Early Stage of Purple Mansion killing Early Stage of Divine Infant" was a true event, etched in the Divine Souls of many, unforgettable for life.
This ti, knowing the Formless Celestial Venerable was coming, he decided to act, hoping to establish a connection...
While thinking, an exclamation ca from afar.
The icy aura that had been unearthed was spreading wider, revealing a bleeding giant serpent corpse below. The serpent corpse was exuding mystical Profound Qi, causing the once barren land to instantly beco saturated with Profound Qi.
The cultivators’ magic could now be used normally.
"It’s a Profound Crystal Serpent! Wasn’t this kind of precious serpent thought extinct?!" Dian Kang exclaid, but then quickly beca delighted, as this ant that the "tomb-digging" efficiency would significantly increase.
...
"Formless Celestial Venerable..."
Little An Li turned to glance at the Celestial Venerable behind, her heart filled with a sense of confusion and surrealism.
Song Yan said, "It’s just hype by the clan, to scare people."
Little An Li said, "You’re wrong, is it about that Profound Crystal Serpent?"
Song Yan shook his head and said, "It’s the aura of Celestial Demon, that Profound Crystal Serpent might have been thrown by them. The purpose?
His eyes rolled in the darkness, then slightly narrowed, speaking in a mocking tone, "Could it be a sacrifice?"
"Since fire can be sacrificed, ice can be sacrificed, then... perhaps another thod can work?
With so many cultivators gathered, wouldn’t it be wasteful not to offer a sacrifice?"
With that, he laughed with a "cackle," plotting so unknown sche.
Little An Li shivered but mustered the courage to try to understand and accept the current Song Yan.
