"No way, this formation is too complex; I can’t decipher it!"
Xuan Feng Venerable held Yan Muyu’s spatial ring, and after nurous attempts, finally sighed in frustration.
Yan Muyu giggled, "How is it? Isn’t my big brother amazing? I knew it; his formations are unique in the world. Apart from him, no one can decipher them!"
Xuan Feng Venerable replied, "If you had said this earlier, I’d think you were boasting about Fang Bai, but now it seems true! The formation I can’t decipher, barely anyone else in the world could."
After a pause, he continued, "I’m increasingly curious about Fang Bai! If I ever have the chance, I must et him and see what kind of person this youngster, skilled in alchemy, artifact refining, beast taming and array path, really is!"
Xuan Feng Venerable put away the spatial ring and continued forward with the crowd for tens of miles, discovering several more skeletons of Thunder Tribulation Level Nine experts along the way, next to which lay abandoned spiritual artifacts and spatial rings.
Most of those competing for these relics were Thunder Tribulation Level Seven or Eight experts, while the dozen Thunder Tribulation Level Nine experts, including Xuan Feng Venerable, suddenly lost interest in these royal grade superior cultivation resources after experiencing a previous battle for half-immortal spiritual artifacts.
Their targets now were at least the relics of half-immortal rank experts, and only the unveiling of the legendary immortal relics could most excite their interest.
"Soone’s discovered an incredible treasure! It might be an immortal relic!"
Suddenly, soone shouted amid the crowd ahead.
Thousands of experts began rushing towards a dune about ten miles to the left, their faces unable to conceal their elation and excitent.
"Let’s go take a look!"
Xuan Feng Venerable instructed Ye Wui and Yan Muyu to follow closely behind him, and the three sped towards the dune.
The dune stretched for dozens of miles, appearing abruptly across the flat desert.
Beyond the dune, a crevice appeared on the ground.
The crevice was also dozens of miles long and several miles wide; when peering down from its edge, it appeared bottomless and pitch-black.
A chilling whirlwind blew through the dark and deep crevice, as if it were the very gate of hell.
From the crevice’s bottom emanated a strong presence of evil qi and sharp killing intent, and standing too close to its edge would cause one’s skin to feel as if being sliced.
A closer inspection would reveal the crevice seed to have been harshly cleaved by blades and axes.
The bottomless crevice emitted strong evil qi and sharp killing intent, leading many experts to speculate that a powerful spiritual artifact, possibly the legendary immortal artifact, lay at its bottom.
"Who dares venture down and explore?"
The thousands of experts stood on the crevice’s edges, gazing at the deep, bottomless crevice buffeted by chilling winds, yet none dared proceed.
"I suggest that us dozen Thunder Tribulation Level Nine experts join forces to explore it; if we encounter danger, we can support each other. When a treasure is found, each can vie for it based on their abilities. How does that sound?"
One Thunder Tribulation Level Nine expert proposed.
"Sounds good!"
Other Thunder Tribulation Level Nine experts responded in favor.
Xuan Feng Venerable, and his rivals, Green Lotus Heretic Venerable and Lieyang Venerable, nodded, agreeing to cooperate for the ti being.
"You both have the jade pendants I gave you; if anyone dares harm you, the killing intent within will protect you. Now that the Darkgold Iron Cudgel is with , there shouldn’t be many who dare covet you."
Xuan Feng Venerable used the thread condensation sound transmission technique to instruct Ye Wui and Yan Muyu; seeing them attentive, he continued, "If I unfortunately fall, you must quickly leave this Blood Sea Desert and abandon thoughts of immortal relics; saving yourselves is important."
Below the crevice lay the unknown risk, and though Xuan Feng Venerable was a Thunder Tribulation Level Nine expert, he couldn’t promise he’d survive; instructing Ye Wui and Yan Muyu seed necessary.
"You’re a good person, the heavens bless you; you’ll be fine!"
Ye Wui said.
Yan Muyu added, "Xuan Feng Venerable, you said you wanted to et my big brother! You mustn’t have any mishaps before eting him."
Xuan Feng Venerable laughed heartily, "Fine! I’ll strive to preserve this old life!"
A dozen Thunder Tribulation Level Nine experts, holding spiritual artifacts, enveloped in spiritual energy to form defense qi shields, simultaneously leaped into the deep, bottomless crevice.
This ancient battlefield, spanning a thousand miles, was overwhelmingly oppressive, preventing Thunder Tribulation Level Nine experts from flying, but they had their ways.
While the crevice, like the outside, could obstruct the divine sense of experts, preventing detection of distant movents, Xuan Feng Venerable and his peers possessed excellent eyesight, able to view within hundreds of ters.
They would pause every few dozen yards, resting against the rocky protrusions of the crevice walls, then descend again.
Ti unknowingly passed, as the surrounding environnt grew increasingly dark and cold, with ever more intense and sharp evil qi and killing qi; to resist the invasion of such qi, they had to circulate cultivation techniques to protect themselves, leading to quicker spiritual energy depletion.
Fortunately, each carried spirit pills that quickly restored spiritual energy, swallowing so to promptly replenish their energy for any imminent dangers.
"There’s light below; we must be nearing the bottom of the crevice!"
Estimating they’d descended over fifty miles, a delighted shout erged from one expert.
Xuan Feng Venerable, Green Lotus Venerable, Lieyang Venerable, and others glanced down, indeed seeing two spots of light below.
The closer they got, the larger and brighter the light beca, dazzling.
"Two corpses! Two spiritual artifacts!"
"Those corpses seem mightier than Spirit Ape’s bones, perhaps they’re the legendary bodies of immortals?"
"If they’re immortal corpses, then the two are not spiritual artifacts but immortal artifacts!"
"It appears the two immortals fell here after a fierce battle."
"Surely more relics lie around!"
"The pressure from the immortal corpses and immortal artifacts is too great, with astonishing killing intent; obtaining them won’t be easy!"
"Let’s continue collaborating then!"
...
About a hundred ters from the crevice’s bottom, the insights of the dozen experts allowed them to spot two differently posed corpses and the immortal artifacts in their hands.
So experts were so excited their voices trembled.
The strength of immortals far surpassed what Thunder Tribulation experts in the three thousand vast worlds could imagine; their lifespans were lengthy, their bodies incredibly enduring. Even after falling, subjected to wind, rain, and the passage of ti, their bodies remained intact rather than turning into bones like the cultivators of the three thousand vast worlds soon after demise.
