Agreement Reached, Silver Light Cluster
Chapter 1241 Agreement Reached, Silver Light Cluster
Although the other side had a significantly larger number of people, the human cultivators led by Feng Yangzi did not show any intention of backing down.
The two sides were entangled in one place, each trying to prevent the other from getting close to the "silver ball of light" in mid-air.
At the same time, streaks of light were constantly rushing toward the battlefield from afar, all of them Nascent Soul cultivators from the human and demon races who had come from various places.
The lowest cultivation level among these people was at the mid-Nascent Soul stage. Most of them happened to be nearby and came to the battlefield to provide support after receiving the message.
Although the location of the "heavenly phenomenon" was within the territory of the demon race, it was not too far from the area controlled by the human cultivators, and cultivators from both sides continued to flock to this area.
Meanwhile, on the battlefield far above, Chen Qingxuan, wielding a flying sword, was engaged in a fierce battle with two Nascent Soul stage demon saints of the demon race.
Both sides fought with all their might. Although Chen Qingxuan had a slight advantage, he was unable to end the battle quickly.
After a fierce battle that lasted for several days, they still couldn't defeat their opponent.
Near the "silver ball of light" below, hundreds of Nascent Soul cultivators from both races had gathered and were vying for control of the area.
Neither side had time to break through the outer barrier to enter, and they were locked in a fierce struggle, unable to determine a victor for the time being.
Seeing that continuing the fight would likely yield little result in the short term, the demon saint "Jade Scale" of the demon race broke the silence on the battlefield.
"Chen Qingxuan, if we continue fighting like this, neither of us will gain anything."
"Your Excellency probably doesn't want to provoke a war between our two races right now, so why don't we call it a day?"
"It's not difficult for me to stop. You can all leave on your own, and I will not make things difficult for you."
Upon hearing Chen Qingxuan's words, the "Thunder Tiger" demon saint immediately spoke up: "Hmph! You want us to retreat on our own? Do you still want to monopolize this secret realm outside the heavens?"
Chen Qingxuan, I have already sent a message to fellow Daoists Chi Li and Bai Yang.
Once they get here, it will probably be you who has to leave.
"Oh! Bai Yang suffered a physical injury last time, I reckon he probably hasn't recovered that quickly yet!"
As for that old fellow Chi Li, she only recently went into seclusion. If she could have come, I think she would have arrived long ago.
Fellow Daoist, are you trying to scare me with these words?
"To tell you the truth, even if both of them came, let alone if they couldn't get here, you can all come at me at once. I alone am more than enough to hold you off."
Having said that, Chen Qingxuan's flying sword flashed with a sharp, cold light once more, and his tone showed no sign of backing down.
Seeing this, the "Jade Unicorn" Demon Saint immediately said with a serious expression:
"Fellow Daoist Chen, we have all come here for this secret realm beyond the heavens. But what exactly is inside, I'm afraid you don't know either!"
This thing has been drifting in the void for who knows how long, and there might be nothing inside. Why should we fight to the death here for it?
I think it would be better if we both compromised and sent cultivators in to explore together.
Whatever you get, it should all be based on your own ability, shouldn't it?
"I would also like to remind you, fellow Daoist, that the fact that this extraterrestrial secret realm has fallen into this place is a great opportunity for our Eastern Phoenix Immortal Continent."
However, if the process drags on for too long, and the news leaks out, fellow cultivators from other places might also try to interfere.
If you insist on continuing this fight, we will both suffer heavy losses, and others will be able to take advantage of the situation, which would be a great loss for us all.
".
Upon hearing what the "Jade Unicorn" demon saint said, Chen Qingxuan also fell silent, pondering what the other party had said.
Although he currently has a slight advantage, defeating the two demon saints in front of him in a short period of time will not be so easy.
If what the other party said is true, and it attracts other Nascent Soul cultivators, then things might not be so easy to control.
".
On the battlefield below, Nascent Soul cultivators from both sides were locked in fierce combat.
Faced with an increasing number of demon experts, Song Qingming and most of the human cultivators were blocked on the front lines of the battlefield, making it difficult for them to get close to the "silver ball of light".
However, although the demon race gained some battlefield advantages, they seemed to have no good way to deal with the powerful restrictions on the "silver light ball".
Several Nascent Soul stage demon emperors tried many times, but none of them could break through the restriction and enter the ball of light.
The two sides fought fiercely on the battlefield for a long time, but no one was able to enter and retrieve the treasure. They couldn't help but look somewhat helpless.
Just as everyone was locked in a fierce battle and unable to break the deadlock, three beams of light suddenly descended from the sky and stopped on both sides of the battlefield.
"Stop it, all of you!"
With a powerful voice that instantly enveloped the entire battlefield, the hundreds of Nascent Soul cultivators who were fighting immediately stopped casting spells and quickly retreated to the side.
"Senior Chen!"
"Ancestor!"
Soon, with the "silver ball of light" as the core of the battlefield, human and demon cultivators lined up on both sides, leaving a clear dividing line between them.
"Uncle Chen, are you alright? What's going on in here...?"
Just as "Feng Yangzi" standing at the front was about to ask a question, Chen Qingxuan waved him off and then addressed the crowd:
"Everyone, this is a celestial palace appearing in the world. I don't know what kind of opportunities it holds."
I have just made an agreement with the demon race. Next, both sides will open the outer barrier together and send Nascent Soul cultivators in to search for treasures.
Those of you who want to go in should prepare in advance.
Anyone who can bring out something useful to me can come here and receive a reward.
If you can find a level-five spiritual medicine or elixir that can help my cultivation, I can also give you an extra Purple Cloud Jade.
"Please rest assured, everyone. I, Chen Qingxuan, am a man of my word and will never go back on my promise."
"Purple Heaven Jade, Senior Chen is actually willing to part with such a spiritual item. It seems that this Immortal Abode Secret Realm is indeed quite extraordinary. Could there be some special and powerful restrictions inside?"
"No matter what's inside, how can we easily miss such an opportunity? We've cultivated for many years just to try our luck at becoming a Nascent Soul cultivator."
With such an opportunity before us, even if it means our deaths and the dissipation of our cultivation, we must fight for it.
".
Upon hearing that Chen Qingxuan had suddenly reached a cooperation agreement with the demon race, and that each of them would send their Nascent Soul cultivators to search for treasures, the people standing there all showed a hint of excitement on their faces.
Those who were able to come here were almost all high-level cultivators at the mid-Nascent Soul stage or above.
Faced with such a rare and secluded celestial realm, everyone was naturally excited, dreaming of obtaining a great opportunity from it.
Moreover, with Chen Qingxuan, the number one human expert in the "Eastern Phoenix Immortal Continent," as a guarantor, if we really obtain some extraordinary spiritual treasure from inside, we don't need to worry about anyone harming us afterwards.
This relieved many of the concerns of the numerous Nascent Soul cultivators present.
As soon as Chen Qingxuan finished speaking, apart from a few people who remained silent and still pondering, more than 80% of the cultivators present nodded in agreement.
"We are willing to share the burdens of our seniors!"
".
Not only the human cultivators, but also the many Nascent Soul cultivators of the demon race on the opposite side received instructions from the two Nascent Soul ancestors at almost the same time.
Compared to human cultivators who can choose whether or not to enter voluntarily, demons are much more decisive.
Before the two Nascent Soul Ancestors, no one present dared to hesitate in the slightest and quickly responded and accepted the order.
After the command was given, the "Jade Unicorn" Demon Saint and the "Thunder Tiger" Demon Saint immediately cast spells and flew forward to the front of the "silver light ball". Chen Qingxuan also flashed into the air.
The three exchanged a glance, then dispersed and cast spells, sending a beam of light towards the "silver orb" in front of them.
As three beams of spiritual light covered it, the "silver ball of light" that had been floating motionless in mid-air immediately began to vibrate and emit waves of transparent light.
Previously, despite their numerous Nascent Soul cultivators, no matter how they used their spells to attack, they were unable to pass through the transparent barrier in front of the "silver light ball".
Just as you get close, you'll be pushed aside by an invisible force.
At this moment, with the joint spell cast by the three Nascent Soul cultivators, the barrier that was blocking them finally appeared on its own, causing a surge of excitement among the many Nascent Soul cultivators below.
Soon, a crack appeared in front of the barrier, which then slowly formed a circular hole.
Seeing this, Chen Qingxuan and the two demon saints immediately intensified their spellcasting, forcibly widening the cave entrance.
"Junior Brother Li, Fellow Daoist Ye, the restrictions of this ancient immortal abode are so powerful that even a Nascent Soul Ancestor had to exert so much effort. It may be quite dangerous once we go in."
Fellow Daoists, why don't you stay outside with Qingyu for now? Senior Sister Bai and I will go inside together.
More than a hundred Nascent Soul cultivators from both the human and demon races have gathered here, with nearly half of them having reached the late Nascent Soul stage, and many others having reached the half-step Divine Transformation stage.
With so many experts present, even if Chen Qingxuan and the other two Nascent Soul cultivators did not enter to seize the treasure, it would still be too dangerous for Song Qingyu and the other two, who were at the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm, to enter.
Upon hearing Song Qingming's words of advice, Li Xianyun, who was standing to the side, was the first to shake his head.
"I appreciate Senior Brother Song's kindness, but having cultivated for so many years, I have never been one to back down in the face of difficulties."
Now that I have this opportunity, I, Li, am determined to explore this Immortal Abode Secret Realm.
"Seventh Brother, don't worry. Although my supernatural powers are not as great as Junior Brother Li's, I am not a reckless person."
If I encounter any danger, I will try my best to take care of myself.
"If both of you fellow Daoists can be so determined, how could I, Ye, be someone who would back down in the face of trouble?"
Seeing that the three people in front of her all wanted to follow her into the Immortal Mansion, Bai Yuxian pondered for a moment and nodded to Song Qingming.
"Junior Brother Song, although we don't know what dangers are in this Immortal Abode Secret Realm, so many experts from the opposing demon race are going in, so it will probably be difficult to avoid them."
I think it's better to let Qingyu and the others come in with us; having more people will provide more support.
However, if it's really dangerous inside, Qingyu and Junior Brother Li, you shouldn't force yourselves.
After all, you are all still so young. As long as you cultivate patiently, you will eventually have your chance. There's no need to rush things.
"Hmm! If that's the case, then I'll listen to Senior Sister Bai."
".
After hearing Bai Yuxian's mediation, Song Qingming did not insist any further and nodded slightly in agreement with what the two had said.
While everyone was waiting, streaks of light continued to rush in from afar, all of them Nascent Soul cultivators who had received the news a step too late.
Song Qingming didn't recognize most of the extra figures from the demon race, and could only estimate their cultivation level based on their aura.
On the human cultivators' side, besides Song Qingming and others and the cultivators of the "Tianyu Sect", there were also many other sects near the northern border, such as the "Xianyuan Sect", "Shengu Sect", and "Danyuan Valley".
Upon receiving the news, they all dispatched their Nascent Soul elders to come.
To Song Qingming's surprise, the cultivators from the "Qingyang Holy Sect," his old rivals, had also come here.
However, the one leading the way was not the sect leader "Master Jingyue" who had fought him that day, but another man who looked younger and whose cultivation had reached the half-step Nascent Soul realm.
If nothing unexpected happens, it should be Liang Yushan, the Grand Elder of the Qingyang Holy Sect.
Everyone was busy fighting the demons, so Song Qingming didn't recognize the other party until he saw Hu Yukun and the others following behind him with respectful expressions.
Just as Song Qingming's gaze fell upon the other party, Liang Yushan clearly also noticed something amiss and returned his gaze with a meaningful look.
Although the two sects have some rifts behind the scenes, they still need to work together to fight against the demon race in the current situation.
Song Qingming and Liang Yushan were both cultivators who had been practicing for many years. They tacitly pretended not to know each other and did not have much contact.
Just as Song Qingming turned his gaze to the distance, he suddenly saw several streaks of light rushing towards him and landing beside him, revealing several familiar figures.
"Sister Xia, what brings you here?"
Upon seeing Xia Mo, who had suddenly appeared here, and the two Nascent Soul cultivators from the "Hundred Flowers Palace," Song Qingyu was slightly taken aback and immediately stepped forward to ask a question.
"Senior Sister Shen and I happened to be near the Broken Cloud Mountains when we saw this strange phenomenon, so we rushed over to take a look."
"Qingyu, Fellow Daoist Song, what exactly happened here?"
"this,."
Just as Song Qingyu took the initiative to explain to Xia Mo and the others, the circular gap in mid-air was getting bigger and bigger, enough for several people to pass through at the same time.
Seeing this, the three Nascent Soul cultivators cast spells to stabilize the entrance, and then gave instructions to the many Nascent Soul cultivators behind them.
"I will guard the entrance. Everyone should enter one by one, but please be careful!"
Upon hearing Chen Qingxuan's command, the members of the "Tianyu Sect" standing at the front cast spells and flew forward towards the entrance, disappearing into the air in the blink of an eye.
Meanwhile, several demon kings, the leaders of the demon race, followed closely behind and entered the secret realm ahead.
Seeing the cultivators ahead quickly entering the secret realm, Song Qingming nodded to Xia Mo in greeting, and then flew forward with Bai Yuxian and the others.
But just as the group passed by Chen Qingxuan, a secret voice transmission suddenly entered Song Qingming's ears.
"Young friend Song, I'll give you this talisman for your own use. In case you encounter any danger, you can use it to protect yourself from a fatal calamity."
The road ahead is uncertain, so please be careful, young friend.
Before Song Qingming could react, a beam of spiritual light suddenly appeared in front of him, transforming into a silver talisman that fell into his hand.
Although this "silver talisman" looked inconspicuous, Song Qingming could sense an extremely strong spiritual power emanating from it, far surpassing the quality of the many fourth-level talismans he possessed.
If nothing unexpected happens, the power of this talisman has probably reached the legendary level five.
After receiving the talisman, Song Qingming turned around and glanced into the distance. He saw Chen Qingxuan nod slightly to him in mid-air before quickly looking away.
"Thank you for your kind words, senior!"
Seeing this, Song Qingming immediately raised his hand slightly and bowed towards the distance.
Back when he was in the "Tianyu Sect", Song Qingming was noticed by Chen Qingxuan and given a copy of his experience in breaking through to the Nascent Soul Realm. He was well aware that the other party intended to help him.
However, Song Qingming was not a disciple of the "Tianyu Sect" after all, so it was already a great opportunity for him to gain the appreciation of Chen Qingxuan, the Nascent Soul Ancestor.
Now, at this critical moment, the other party has actually given him a high-level spirit talisman for protection, which shows that Chen Qingxuan still values him very much and does not want him to perish easily in the unknown secret realm ahead.
After sending a telepathic thank you to Chen Qingxuan behind him, Song Qingming and the others quickly arrived at the front of the circular passage.
The group flew through the passage together and soon entered a vast expanse of white mist. The surrounding atmosphere changed instantly, causing Song Qingming to lose his senses and become unable to perceive the outside world.
Just as Song Qingming and his group entered the passage, a crimson rainbow sped from the distant northern sky and landed directly above the "silver ball of light".
After the light dissipated, a crimson figure appeared in mid-air, revealing the form of a young woman.
The woman's gaze swept across the entrance ahead, and suddenly a flame ignited on her body, emanating a powerful aura.
Then he transformed into a fiery red arrow and shot directly into the passage ahead.
