Wang Defa stood on the spirit boat, looking at the black smoke coming from the rear, his mouth twitching. “Our two Sect Masters' tastes are truly unique!”
Beside him, Diao San looked at the black smoke with satisfaction. “Of course. The Sect Master's tastes are bound to be sophisticated. Honestly, it looks pretty flashy.”
Beside them, Niu Lansi and the others all nodded in agreement.
At this moment, everyone's spirit boats were flying toward the secret realm.
No matter which faction's spirit boat it was, the moment they saw theirs, they actively made way for them.
On the Xiaoyao Sect's spirit boat, Elder Gou was gazing in the direction of the opening secret realm.
Suddenly, he heard a thunderous, earth-shaking rumble coming from behind.
Turning his head, he saw a worn-out spirit boat billowing black smoke, rushing over amidst sparks and lightning.
“Quick... Quick... Make way for that spirit boat behind us! Don't let that piece of junk crash into our spirit boat!”
Elder Gou shouted in a hurry. Standing behind him, Wen Ruyu spoke up with some confusion:
“What is there to fear, Elder? If they damage ours, we'll make them pay for it.”
Elder Gou couldn't help but roll his eyes. “Are you stupid? They are still using a spirit boat that should have been retired eight hundred years ago. Do you really think they have spirit stones to compensate us?”
Wen Ruyu froze. Come to think of it, that actually made sense.
After all, if this faction had any money, they would have definitely replaced it with a better spirit boat.
Just as Lu Ming and his group's spirit boat passed by, Elder Gou was startled. Pale faces, dark circles under their eyes... wasn't this the faction of his business partners?
What happened? How did they end up so poor?
...
When Lu Ming and the others arrived at the entrance of the secret realm, it had not yet opened, and there were not many people around.
Subsequently, Lu Ming led the group to find a relatively far-back spot to pitch camp.
Lu Ming felt there was no need to rush to the front. His group didn't even have a single Golden Core cultivator.
If the people from the large sects saw them, even the best spot would just be snatched away.
Sure enough, with the arrival of large sects like the Haoran Sect, those small factions at the front were immediately driven away.
Near the entrance of the secret realm, the Eastern Province factions, led by the Haoran Sect, Dingyuan Sect, and Zixuan Sect, occupied one side.
On the other side, the demonic cultivators, led by the Blood River Demon Sect, Wuhua Palace, and Blood Fiend Tower, occupied their own territory.
Although there was no physical clash between the two sides, the atmosphere was thick with tension.
Amidst this bizarre atmosphere, everyone waited for the secret realm to open.
As time passed, the golden beam of light grew larger and larger.
“Boom...”
At a certain moment, a massive rumble echoed from within the golden glow.
Lu Ming looked up. Amidst the surging golden light, a massive golden gate suddenly materialized.
The moment they saw the golden gate, the crowd instantly grew excited.
“It's coming! The secret realm is about to open!”
“I didn't expect the entrance of this All Beings Equal secret realm to look like this...”
...
“Boom...”
While everyone stared at the golden gate and gossiped, the massive golden door actually began to open slowly.
As the golden gate opened, a rich golden light instantly burst forth from behind it.
“Thud, thud...”
Right at that moment, several figures suddenly fell from the void.
Lu Ming stared at this scene, stunned. Why were people falling out of the sky?
“Ah! Isn't that the Ancestor of the Haoran Sect? Why did he fall down...”
“And isn't that the Palace Master of Wuhua Palace? Why did she fall down too?”
...
The group of fallen big shots was extremely embarrassed. Who could have expected that while they were staying comfortably in the void,
once the golden light swept over them, they would suddenly be unable to use their spiritual energy?
Dammit, this was so embarrassing. They had completely lost face.
Why didn't any of the previous records mention this situation?
Hearing the crowd's cries of alarm, Lu Ming grew even more puzzled. Why did these big shots fall from the sky?
What was going on?
Then, he noticed something was wrong. He actually couldn't mobilize his spiritual energy either.
Just then, someone cried out in surprise, “Huh? Why can't I use the spiritual energy in my body?!”
“Exactly! I can't even sense the spiritual energy in my body anymore.”
Seeing this, Lu Ming understood why those big shots had fallen. It was because they could no longer mobilize their spiritual energy.
Right at that moment, the Golden Giant Gate opened completely.
“Whoosh, whoosh...”
The moment the giant golden gate fully opened, a railed pathway extended from within the gate.
Just as the pathway finished extending, a massive hourglass appeared above the golden gate.
Seeing this, no matter how foolish Lu Ming was, he knew it was a timer.
Immediately, Lu Ming waved his hand and shouted, “Charge...”
Not only did he react, but others also realized what was happening.
It was clear to everyone that once the hourglass ran out, they probably wouldn't be able to enter anymore.
Immediately, the crowd surged directly toward the pathway.
Some saw how crowded it was and tried to climb over the railings on the side.
But the result was being flung back. Clearly, climbing over the railings was impossible; they had to use the pathway.
Consequently, the crowd squeezed toward the pathway even more frantically.
Since no one could use spiritual energy right now, they could only rely on their physical bodies to desperately push their way in.
Everyone shoved and shouldered each other, struggling with all their might to squeeze into the pathway.
“Fuck... You stepped on my shoe!”
“You motherfucker squeezed my storage bag off!”
“Thud...”
“Get out of my way...”
Looking at the crowded mass of people, Lu Ming felt like he was squeezing onto a slow-speed green train during the Spring Festival travel rush.
Though it was far less safe than squeezing onto a green train.
By now, Big Yellow and the others had been swept away to who knows where.
Lu Ming could only follow the flow of the crowd and move forward.
“Kid, get out of my way!”
Just then, a red-haired old man glared and roared.
At the same time, his massive fist smashed directly toward Lu Ming.
“Get lost.”
Lu Ming cursed. Suddenly raising his hand, he gripped his gold brick and met the man's fist head-on.
“Thud...”
Crack...
The bones in the other party's fist cracked loudly under Lu Ming's strike.
The Nascent Soul cultivator gasped, sucking in a breath of cold air. “Kid, you have no sportsmanship! I am a Nascent Soul cultivator...”
The Nascent Soul cultivator had originally intended to rely on the physical strength of his Nascent Soul stage body to bully the weak.
Who would have thought he would run into a tough customer?
Lu Ming didn't say a word. Swinging the gold brick that his Weapon Vault had transformed into, he frantically smashed it at the Nascent Soul cultivator.
He had recently cultivated the Qingshan body refining technique to the Great Perfection of the second rank.
His physical strength was not inferior to theirs.
“Thud, thud...”
Because of the crowding, the Nascent Soul cultivator didn't have a suitable weapon, so he could only passively defend with his fists.
The surrounding people looked at Lu Ming's crazed state.
They all subconsciously took a few steps back. It was too damn terrifying.
Right at that moment, several flashes of golden light swept past.
Then, everyone saw dozens of cultivators holding large gold bricks surrounding them.
Seeing this scene, the Nascent Soul cultivator shrank back in fear.
They were clearly all together!
“Thud...”
The moment the Nascent Soul cultivator was dazed, a half-grown boy with a pale face and dark circles under his eyes swung a gold brick right onto his head.
Crack...
A massive bloody bump swelled up instantly.
Following Fu Chen's brick strike,
thud, thud...
Diao San and the others also joined in, some smashing, some slapping. In any case, they gripped their gold bricks and rained them down upon the Nascent Soul cultivator.
“Aren't you guys going too far?!”
The Nascent Soul cultivator roared, his head covered in bumps.
Immediately, he quickly bent over and hid in the crowd.
Otherwise, he feared those large gold bricks would smash his head again.
Dammit, if he wasn't so resilient, he would have been beaten to death by this gang.
Lu Ming was also somewhat helpless. After all, there were too many people, and that fellow still managed to slip away.
