Chapter 264: Gather
Ancient Ruin.
There was a huge plain that no one could enter for the past few hundreds years. At first, people thought that this plain was cursed. But after a few years, they realized that the plain was protected by array.
The array was so vast that people wouldn’t even come to this place, lest they needed a few more days just to go around it.
And this time, thousands of people were gathering at one spot not far from the plain.
"I’ll change my fate with the opportunity I’ll get here," said a young cultivator while clenching his fist as if he believed it from the bottom of his heart.
"A mere Foundation Stage Building Cultivator dares to try his luck in this place? You’re courting death."
"What did you say?"
Many cultivators were chatting or arguing with each other. However, they soon stopped when they saw a huge number of people coming from the east.
They raised their vision to the sky and saw an old woman leading the group. She had long white hair and fierce gaze as if just making an eye contact with her would make her your enemy. Next to her stood a beautiful woman. She had long blue hair and a cold face.
"That’s... That’s the Heavenly Sword Sect!"
"That old woman must be the Great Elder of the Heavenly Sword Sect, Li Xue. Then, the one next to her must be her disciple, the biggest genius of the Heavenly Sword Sect who is known to have cultivated the Sword Intent at the age of 22, Lan Zhiqing."
"She’s so beautiful!"
Many young men were entranced by her beauty as that coldness of her gave another type of charm that pulled them in.
"Amithaba. One must control their carnal desires. Only then can you achieve the inner peace." A soothing and gentle voice reverberated in everyone’s ears as a golden light illuminated the sky. When they turned around, they saw a group of bald men with peaceful and gentle faces.
They were raising one hand and closing their eyes as though they were praying. And the golden light formed a circle that illuminated everyone’s heart.
"That’s the Ancient Buddha Sect! The Ancient Buddha Sect’s First Elder, Zhan Zemin and his son, Zhan Hong."
"Not only that, but look at that direction!" One of the cultivators pointed at another direction.
This time, the sky turned pink as the people came together in pairs. If they were not in pair, the man or the woman would have a harem of their own. Each man was handsome and each woman was beautiful, making all people regardless of their gender have a heart movement when seeing them.
"Control your desire? There is no need to control your desire. If you control your desire all the time, the mankind would have perished a long time ago."
"..." The Ancient Buddha Sect and the newcomer was staring at each other. Yes, the newcomer was none other than the Joyful Union Sect.
However, their clash was interrupted by another influence.
This time, the one who led this group was a pair of a man and woman. The man had a red garment to show his sovereignty while the woman had military uniform to show her strength.
"There is no need to have a conflict just with this," said the man while shaking his head helplessly, thinking of how foolish these people were to argue over smallest things.
"Divine Kingdom’s Crown Prince, Wang Jian. And the Divine Kingdom’s Second Princess, Wang Xiaolan." The Joyful Union Sect looked at these two while furrowing their eyebrows.
"Four of the five biggest influences in the continent has gathered. Then, the last one is..." The cultivator who was looking at the people above suddenly turned around, finding a giant fish swimming in the air. The fish had a pair of wings like that of a bird to replace its pectoral fins.
"That’s..."
"That’s Kunlun Mountain’s Guardian Beast, Kun Peng."
On top of the guardian beast stood a tall man with a white robe. He had a dignified expression, making one believe he was the man that stood above all else.
"It seems that I am the last one to arrive." The man smiled gently while opening his bamboo fan and covering his face as though he was proud of it.
Unfortunately for him, that wasn’t true because a giant ship floated in the air. The ship was bigger than that of the giant fish that carried them as though showing its superiority.
"That’s..."
"The legendary flying ship of the Five Elements Mountain."
"It’s said that the Five Elements Mountain is a small sect, but it seems that’s not the case."
"A small sect? That’s true, but you can’t say the same for their strength. They’re known to have the power to rival the five sects."
Many were discussing about the appearance of the Five Elements Mountain.
Meanwhile, Albert and Gin were talking in the deck while looking at this situation from a bit far away, blending with the crowd so that they didn’t attract someone’s attention.
They even used the Bonk Network to communicate so that no one knew what they were talking about.
’Making a grand entrance as the last person to arrive, it sounds sick like the main character in the novel. Well, I would have done the same if not for Bonk power to be too powerful.’ Gin glanced at Albert, saying, ’Teacher, do you know that I’m planning to train for a full month to reach the Golden Core Stage and making my appearance here?
’But to think that your bonk power gives me more energy than I thought, allowing me to reach Golden Core Stage in just three weeks. And now, I can’t make a cool entrance again.’ Gin pouted, looking at him. ’I wonder if I should just continue straight to the Mid Phase Golden Core Stage instead of coming back.’
’Why do you even want to let yourself known?’ Albert sighed.
’It’s simple. If they are jealous, that means people will be coming at me. That means more people to bonk.’
’If you just want that, the Yin Yang Bell will be a perfect bait. Since we’ll be teleported randomly, we should immediately head to each other’s location before throwing that bait. With this, the Joyful Union Sect will aim at us.’ Albert smirked.
’That’s the plan.’ Gin also had the same smirk as if they were planning to make a grand entrance inside the Ancient Ruin. The inheritance was important, but raising their cultivation was as important since they needed the strength to what was going to come.
’Hehe...’
’Hehehe...’
’Hehehehe...’
Both of them were laughing sneakily, thinking the same thing.
