Chapter 620: Chapter 344 Gathering of Geniuses_2 Chapter 620: Chapter 344 Gathering of Geniuses_2 Therefore, when he asked this question, it was also a probe to gauge Song Hanchun’s reaction and see if he could glean so useful intelligence.
As expected, upon hearing the question, Song Hanchun’s face slightly changed, but he quickly returned to normal.
In fact, Golden Sword Sect also suffered significant losses during the beast tide battle, and Elder Xue, whom Zhu Yun ntioned, had also perished in the conflict.
Apart from that, another Golden Core Cultivator at the early stage from Golden Sword Sect also fell on the battlefield.
However, the deaths of these two Golden Core Cultivators were not witnessed by external cultivators.
Therefore, the news of the demise of the two esteed Golden Core Cultivators was sealed by them; the outside world was completely oblivious.
At this mont, Song Hanchun waved his hand and laughed, “Elder Xue was injured in the great battle and has been in closed-door cultivation ever since, unable to extricate himself, which is why I am leading the team.”
...
While laughing, Song Hanchun managed to appear quite composed and quickly changed the topic.
However, despite Song Hanchun hiding it extrely well, Zhu Yun still detected this faint change.
In truth, Zhenyang Sect had also heard so rumors and made so speculations, but alas, they had no evidence.
Now, based on Song Hanchun’s response, Zhu Yun was also certain of the fact of Elder Xue’s demise.
However, Zhu Yun remained composed and did not dwell on the matter, promptly engaging Song Hanchun in casual conversation.
As the two Golden Core Cultivators chatted idly, the disciples of Golden Sword Sect jumped down from the flying boat one by one, landing on a clearing diagonally opposite the Zhenyang Sect.
They moved swiftly, and over thirty cultivators quickly found their spots, then also sat on the ground, sizing up the cultivators from Zhenyang Sect from across the way.
Lin Tianming likewise surveyed the Golden Sword Sect cultivators, assessing the strength of the opposing side in his heart.
Among this group of Golden Sword Sect’s cultivators, there were indeed several at the Great Perfection of Foundation Establishnt, more than ten in the Ninth Level of Foundation Establishnt, and the rest at the Seventh or Eighth Levels.
The other three Loose Cultivators participating in the Secret Realm were all above the Ninth Level of Foundation Establishnt, among which there were individuals at Foundation Establishnt Great Completion.
On their side, Hu Yuan and Zheng Xiao were both at the Ninth Level of Foundation Establishnt, a bit lacking in comparison to the three cultivators who had recently left Golden Sword Sect’s battlefield.
While Lin Tianming sized up the opposition, the three Loose Cultivators also looked over at them.
In response, Lin Tianming looked back, locking eyes with the three directly, with only brief contact before each shifted their gaze.
For so reason, as Lin Tianming observed one of the Loose Cultivators in Foundation Establishnt Great Perfection, he felt a strange palpitation in his heart, sensing that this person was extrely dangerous.
Yet upon closer reflection, he was certain he had never seen this person before, and all characteristics seed ordinary, revealing nothing unusual.
Nevertheless, the so-called pressure this person brought upon him was a profound sensation, albeit hard to articulate.
“Forget it, once we enter the Secret Realm, I must be extrely cautious, especially of this person!”
Lin Tianming secretly thought to himself, morizing the faces and the aura of their cultivation levels deep in his heart.
This quiet waiting continued.
The following day at noon, when the scorching sun was high in the sky, another flying boat descended above the crowd.
This flying boat was imnsely large, with its pale blue light continuously flickering, exuding a very extraordinary presence.
This flying boat was indeed from Myriad dicine Valley, and although it was also of Second Order Superior rank, the quality was obviously superior to those of Golden Sword Sect and Zhenyang Sect.
As this grand entrance unfolded, everyone looked up, watching as the cultivators from Myriad dicine Valley descended from the boat, the last to arrive on the scene.
At a glance, the cultivator leading the group wore a blue Daoist robe with pale white hair, already appearing to be of a venerable age.
However, despite his old age, it was clear he was no ordinary individual.
Lin Tianming had co across so records about this person in various classics.
This person was a Golden Core Cultivator from Myriad dicine Valley known as Luo Anzhong, a well-established Golden Core expert, ranking within the top three oldest among all known Golden Core Cultivators in Wei Kingdom.
Though he was also at the Early Stage Golden Core Cultivation, his appearance imdiately attracted the attention of Zhu Yun and Song Hanchun.
Upon spotting the newcor, Zhu Yun and Song Hanchun promptly went forward to greet Luo Anzhong with courteous salutations.
“Luo Daoyou, it’s been many years since we last t, I hope you’ve been well!”
“Indeed, Luo Daoyou is nearly five hundred years old,” Luo Anzhong said with a faint smile. “The last ti we t was over forty years ago. It’s unexpected that your sect chose Luo Daoyou to lead the team this ti,”
Hearing the polite remarks of Zhu Yun and another, Luo Anzhong smiled faintly and soon started chatting with the two of them.
As the Myriad dicine Valley cultivators arrived, the one hundred Foundation Establishnt cultivators entering the secret realm had all gathered.
Among the three great sects, there were a total of ninety Foundation Establishnt cultivators, with six loose cultivator spots on the battlefields of Golden Sword Sect and Zhenyang Sect.
Only the battlefield for Myriad dicine Valley had four loose cultivator spots. Altogether, precisely one hundred Foundation Establishnt cultivators.
And indeed, the four Foundation Establishnt cultivators who ca with Myriad dicine Valley were not to be underestimated either; all had cultivation above the ninth level of Foundation Establishnt, with two at the Foundation Establishnt Great Perfection Realm.
When it ca to Myriad dicine Valley disciples, their lineup was sowhat stronger than that of Golden Sword Sect and Zhenyang Sect.
There were as many as seven at the Foundation Establishing Great Perfection Realm, fourteen at the ninth level of Foundation Establishnt, and the remaining nine were all at the Foundation Establishnt Eighth Level Realm.
Among these Myriad dicine Valley disciples, the legendary disciple with a Sky Spiritual Root, Yang Chen, was surrounded by fellow disciples as if stars clustered around the moon.
At that mont, seeing the Foundation Establishnt disciples from Myriad dicine Valley, Lin Tianming finally saw the true features of most of the top genius cultivators in Wei Kingdom’s Cultivation World.
This scene truly embodied a gathering of geniuses.
In view of this, Lin Tianming compared the overall strength of the three parties based on the cultivation of these Foundation Establishnt disciples.
Unsurprisingly, relying on more Foundation Establishnt Great Perfection disciples, the overall strength of Myriad dicine Valley disciples was indeed stronger than that of Golden Sword Sect and Zhenyang Sect.
The gap between Golden Sword Sect and Zhenyang Sect was not substantial, and on the surface, Zhenyang Sect had only a slight disadvantage.
This made it understandable why Myriad dicine Valley had the most ancient heritage among the three great sects.
Even though it had declined in recent years, a cal dead from starvation is still bigger than a horse, and the disciples cultivated by nearly ten thousand years of heritage were truly formidable.
Understanding this, Lin Tianming paid extra attention to the disciples of Myriad dicine Valley.
As they were observing the Myriad dicine Valley cultivators, the opposite was also true.
Clearly, it was only during such a treasure-hunting opportunity that the top disciples from the three great sects would be convened together.
Like Lin Tianming, all the cultivators present had an extraordinary bearing, seeming to await an opportunity to confront one another in the upcoming journey into the secret realm.
Amidst the noisy atmosphere, the cultivators communicated privately, morizing these potential opponents in their minds.
In the blink of an eye, several days had passed.
At noon this day, the blazing sunlight shone across the land.
At that mont, the temperature soared rapidly, and a sandstorm raged across the barren, causing a storm to appear suddenly.
With such changes, the three Golden Core cultivators present imdiately sensed sothing.
In an instant, Luo Anzhong and the other two Golden Core cultivators leaped into the sky, rising a thousand feet into the air.
“Fellow Daoists, the scorching sun is overhead, and the storm is upon us; the ti is nearly upon us. Let us open the portal to the secret realm!”
Luo Anzhong shouted, then took out a fiery red jade token and held it firmly in his hand.
Seeing his action, Zhu Yun and Song Hanchun were not to be outdone and each took out a similar jade token and held it in their hands.
Then, the three nodded to each other and, in different voices, they exclaid, “Shortly, we will open the portal to the secret realm. All of you enter quickly; the portal will open again in one year’s ti.”
“Those who remain inside after that ti will be responsible for their own life or death.”
Hearing this, all hundred Foundation Establishnt cultivators stood up, and all of them widened their eyes, staring into the void, waiting for the portal to the secret realm to appear.
Seeing this, Zhu Yun and the others did not delay and threw the jade tokens they held toward the front.
As the jade tokens appeared, they swiftly positioned themselves in three different directions, emitting a fiery red glow from their surfaces.
Then, the three of them ford hand seals, and beams of spiritual light struck each of their jade tokens.
Simultaneously, beams of light appeared in the palms of their hands, accurately striking the three jade tokens.
