Time continues to flow.
The water of Fengyang Lake is also constantly evaporating.
The entrance to the sealed boundary gate has already been found, itās at the bottom of the lake.
However, the seal has not completely vanished.
At this moment, a considerable number of people have gathered above Fengyang Lake.
Most of these people are above Golden Immortal level, and a large portion of them are Immortal King level.
Even Immortal Sovereigns are no less than ten.
"The seal will completely disappear in three days, then we can enter it," Dong Li said, looking at the countless Immortals.
"Then it will be another bloody storm," Chen Quan sighed.
The path of cultivation is also ruthlessly harsh.
To achieve the Immortal Emperor rank, one ultimately has to step over countless corpses.
On the other side, Xu Nian looked in all directions toward Fengyang Lake.
"Have the geniuses of the Nine Great Forces all come? From the looks of it, even members of our Shendang Mountain are here. I just wonder if those senior brothers and sisters are among them," Xu Nian pondered to himself.
This commotion at Fengyang Lake is indeed much larger than he imagined.
Trying to seize a Godhood in such a scenario is truly not an easy task.
"Your target is Godhood?" Dongfang Ping approached Xu Nian and asked through voice transmission.
"Isnāt it yours?" Xu Nian replied with a smile, also through voice transmission.
"No, Godhood holds no attraction for me. If I were to become a god, it would be through natural deification. What I want is Divine Power Liquid and Divine Artifacts," Dongfang Ping said without any reservations.
Xu Nian was slightly surprised.
Dongfang Ping is indeed a proud person.
Saying such words shows the confidence within Dongfang Ping.
"Natural deification likely requires a very arduous path," Xu Nian said.
"Iām not afraid. If you think like that, then youāre not worthy of being seen as my opponent," Dongfang Ping looked at Xu Nian sharply.
"Opponent? Why do you see me as an opponent?" Xu Nian asked curiously.
"Although you deliberately conceal it, I can sense your strength is great, stronger than most of the Immortal Emperorās disciples. Xu Fenn, though I am an Independent Immortal, I believe someday I can become a god independently. I view you as an opponent because I want to prove I am the best of the younger generation," Dongfang Ping said firmly.
Xu Nian burst into laughter upon hearing this.
Dongfang Ping is indeed sharp, seeing through his hidden strength.
However, he hadnāt intended to conceal it deliberately.
He stayed with this Hunting Immortals group mainly to avoid being discovered by Immortal Emperors and previous Immortal Sovereign experts.
"Being outstanding doesnāt require proving it to anyone. Dongfang Ping, you can view me as an opponent, but I wonāt compete with you directly. We can see who becomes a god first," Xu Nian said with a smile.
"Alright, even if you donāt become a god naturally, I will definitely do so before you," Dongfang Ping said.
Xu Nian smiled but didnāt explain further.
Dongfang Ping might be able to become a god independently, but the path is certainly not easy.
...
In the next three days, all the water of Fengyang Lake had evaporated.
Finally, the enormous lake bottom revealed itself.
Below this colossal lake, a sealing array formation began to turn transparent.
Behind the formation stands a grand Heavenly Palace.
"Is this the Divine Tomb?"
The crowd, looking at the Heavenly Palace behind the transparent formation, showed a look of anticipation.
The formation is about to completely disappear.
At that time, they can explore this Divine Tomb.
At this moment, the various forces revealed themselves from the shadows, converging in the air above Fengyang Lake.
"I didnāt expect there to be a godās burial site in the Immortal Realm."
In the crowd, a young man in blue clothes smiled as he looked down at the sealed Heavenly Palace.
"Indeed, many from the Sealing God Battlefield have arrived. It seems this time Fengyang Lake will not be short of a grand battle," a young man in white clothes echoed.
"Hmph, are you afraid?" a young woman in red snorted coldly.
"Of course not, I was just lamenting that we actually get to fight side by side with you, Sister," the blue-clothed young man smiled.
The red-clothed woman chuckled lightly, "I hope you donāt hold me back."
"Rest assured, Sister, while I may not be able to aid you for certain, I can definitely protect myself. By the way, the task our junior brother took is headed this direction, I wonder if heāll also come," the blue-clothed youth said with a smile.
Indeed, he is Zhao Qiong, the sixth direct disciple of Taichu Immortal Emperor.
"He hasnāt become a direct disciple, yet you still call him Junior Brother?" Zhu Xin asked with a teasing smile.
"Heās definitely our Junior Brother. You all know Masterās personality. Since he has received Junior Brother, how could he go back on it? Moreover, Master descended with a Body Separation to the Task Hall, helping Junior Brother take on the task. Which of us got such treatment?" Zhao Qiong said with a laugh.
Lu Jiang also nodded in agreement, "In Masterās personality, it is indeed a bit out of the ordinary."
Zhu Xin didnāt speak, though she had high hopes for Xu Nian.
She even felt a trace of pity for Xu Nian in her heart.
After hearing Zhao Qiongās words, she thought there might really be such a possibility.
"Do you mean Master has other plans for not accepting him as Junior Brother?" Zhu Xin asked.
"Thatās what I think," Zhao Qiong replied.
Lu Jiang also nodded.
"We canāt guess Masterās intentions, but as for Xu Nian, I quite admire this person. Having him as our Junior Brother would be ideal," Zhu Xin said.
Zhao Qiong and Lu Jiang nodded along.
They shared the same sentiment.
"Haha, Zhu Xin, I didnāt expect Taichu Immortal Emperor to actually have you three here this time."
At that moment, a loud, clear laugh rang out.
A blonde man walked over, followed by three equally cold and arrogant men.
"Dragon Rock, hasnāt Ten Thousand Beast Mountain also sent you, this bug?" Zhao Qiong immediately sneered mockingly.
The four before them all hailed from the powerful Immortal Beasts of Ten Thousand Beast Mountain.
Their true forms are not human but Immortal Beasts.
Without exception, these four individuals all possess Divine Beast Bloodlines.
The leading Dragon Rock has the Five-clawed Golden Dragon of the Dragon Clan as his true form.
"Hmph, Zhao Qiong, what right do you have to speak here? You probably donāt know that Big Brother Dragon Rock has already reached the Immortal Sovereign Realm. This time, it seems those from Shendang Mountain will meet their end in this Divine Tomb," said a young man with the Thunderbolt Eagle King as a true form, behind Dragon Rock.
"What is an Immortal Sovereign? Just a defeated opponent of Sister Zhu Xin," Zhao Qiong retorted.
Dragon Rock narrowed his eyes after hearing this.
His gaze toward Zhu Xin was sharp, "Zhu Xin, this time Iāll avenge my past humiliation, and you will eternally rest in this Divine Tomb."
"Hmph, this time I will not let you escape," Zhu Xin said coldly.
Dragon Rock clenched his fist and immediately left with a flick of his sleeve.
Similar scenes played out all around Fengyang Lake.
Among the Nine Great Forces, grudges inevitably exist between them.
Upon meeting, conflict naturally ensues.
