Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

Chapter 960: Chapter 391: Accommodating the Strength of a Hundred Schools, Exchanging for a Vast Foundation, The Path of the Lone Traveler

The moment the vast column of light appeared, it instantly captured the attention of everyone within a radius of thousands of miles.

Above the Accumulated Thunder Ninth Mountain, all cultivators simultaneously trembled.

Gazing at the dazzling column of light, their hearts filled with fear, yet their eyes brimmed with frenzied excitement.

Ruins!

Such a scene had occurred before.

It was three hundred years ago, when the Yu Ding Sword Sect opened the Sky-reaching Secret Realm.

The Sky-reaching Secret Realm was rumored to be the location of a Ruins Cave Dwelling of an ancient great power.

To this day, the Yu Ding Sword Sect still had not fully explored it.

That kind of light column was not just any strange light or unusual color, but the massive release of Spirit Qi causing it to burst forth instantaneously.

Such an immense release of Spirit Qi indicated the owner of the ruins’ presence, undoubtedly at a high realm!

Even if not an ancient great power, they must be an existence related to a Divine Transformation Great Power.

Almost the instant the ruins appeared, countless rogue cultivators spontaneously rushed over.

And the chaotic battlefield of The Eighth Mountain, under the reproach of Golden Core Ascendant Masters from both sides, also sounded the retreat.

Then, lead by the Luo Yun Sect and Sword Sect Golden Core Ascendant Masters, people were dispatched to Ninth Mountain to clear away all unrelated individuals.

The next day.

Outside Trapped Sky Valley.

A giant concave hollow appeared before everyone’s eyes.

Nearly twenty Golden Core Cultivators from the Six Sects gathered together, all staring at the hollow and the open gate below it.

The gloomy and pitch-black gate, like a black hole, swallowed all light.

Crackling silver-white lightning, occasionally exploding, made it a sight to be feared.

In the midst of the uproar, a figure from the Sword Sect stepped forward—an exceedingly young Daoist.

He appeared to be barely of age, yet his majestic aura surpassed all the Golden Core Cultivators present.

Master Shaking Light!

Late Golden Core Stage!

Yu Ding Sword Cultivator!

Each identity heavy with significance.

Looking at the open gate, Master Shaking Light’s eyes revealed a hint of astonishment.

“The legacy of a great power! A Transforming Spirit Cave Mansion!”

As soon as he spoke,

the crowd that had become silent because of him became restless again.

In the bustling throng, voices of Divine Consciousness Voice Transmission permeated the air.

Master Shaking Light withdrew his gaze, sweeping it across the crowd.

Under his imposing presence, everyone couldn’t help but exhibit a change in expression.

Would the Sword Sect monopolize the Sky-reaching Secret Realm again like they did three hundred years ago?

Suddenly!

“Cheng Yan, friend, what do you think?”

Master Shaking Light, changing his tone, unexpectedly asked the Luo Yun Sect Elder in a tranquil voice.

A Golden Core Late Stage Cultivator named Cheng Yan.

Under everyone’s watchful eyes, an old man with white hair spoke in a hoarse voice, “As for the specifics, everyone should have heard from the Jueqing Fairy, right?”

People nodded.

Just a short time ago, the Jueqing Fairy had recounted the major events to them.

An Elder at the Foundation Establishment Stage from Ice Castle had triggered a powerful lightning matrix, not only killing Di Wanyun, a Golden Core Elder of the Flame Alliance but also inadvertently activated this cave dwelling left by a Divine Transformation Great Power, attracting boundless thunder to open the Mansion’s gate.

Such a feat would ordinarily have shocked countless in the Yu Ding Realm.

But in front of a Transforming Spirit Cave Mansion, a relic of great power, it hardly counted for much.

“What do you imply?” Master Shaking Light asked with a smile.

Cheng Yan nodded, “Since it was opened by cultivators from Ice Castle and Flame Alliance, there’s no reason for our two Ascendant Sects to monopolize it. Moreover, with the cultivators of the Six Sects here, it should naturally be ‘finders, keepers.’

As he said this, even before Master Shaking Light could react,

Golden Core Ascendant Masters from the other Four Sects all agreed.

Two Ascendant Masters from Ailao Mountain, three from Qingdan Valley, the unfeeling Yin Yue from Ice Castle, as well as the two Golden Core Ascendant Masters from the Flame Alliance with gloomy expressions.

There was no doubt in their minds.

Only those first-rate powers with Golden Core Cultivators among their vassal forces showed reluctance.

A burly man stood out from the crowd.

“Master Shaking Light, my Sky Blade Sect has suffered almost seventy percent casualties in this war, a truly tragic loss.”

“Now, with the great power legacy before us, surely there must be opportunities within.”

“Shouldn’t we also have a share?”

As he spoke, other principal individuals from affiliated forces couldn’t help but speak out.

“What Tianqu friend said makes perfect sense!”

“Opportunity lies ahead, and it should go to those who are destined.”

“Cheng friend also said, ‘finders, keepers,’ it’s unreasonable to leave us behind after we aided the Luo Yun Sect.”

“Moreover, we reacted slower, some Foundation Establishment Rogue Cultivators have already barged in. If they can get a share, there’s no reason to exclude us.”

…

Within every word and phrase, there was an undertone of usurping control.

These vassal forces with Golden Core Ascendant Masters weren’t only affiliated with the Sword Sect.

The Luo Yun Sect had first-rate vassals, Qingdan Valley had them too,

And there was also one from the Flame Alliance!

As such, no one took the initiative to silence them, for fear of creating internal instability.

Everyone was waiting for the Sword Sect and Luo Yun Sect to make a decision.

Faced with this surging sentiment, Sword Sect’s Master Shaking Light still wore a smile, though it was tinged with coldness.

His folding fan suddenly snapped shut.

“Fine!”

“Since everyone is eager to explore, the Yu Ding Sword Sect naturally won’t dampen your spirits.”

“Those who wish to proceed may do so.”

“But there is one condition that the Six Sect Cultivators must agree to!”

Everyone was taken aback, not expecting the Sword Sect to be so accommodating.

Far from their usual domineering ways.

For a moment, all eyes turned to the Luo Yun Sect’s old man.

Master Shaking Light could represent the Sword Sect Alliance, so naturally, at the Four Sects Alliance, it would be the Golden Core Late Stage Cheng Yan who’d take the lead.

What was his opinion?

Cheng Yan’s turbid eyes stared at Master Shaking Light, “Friend, speak plainly.”
