Chapter 741 - The Name of Lord Shang

…

Even so, everyone was still tempted by the ruins below.

One had to know that even without looking at the aura of the ruins, just the fact that the Sacred Sovereign was guarding it was enough to tell that there were resources in the ruins.

To high-level cultivators like them, the resources in the world should have been all there was to take.

However, the best and most awesome resources were extremely rare!

They needed those resources the most. It would be a pity if they gave up.

Perhaps that was a great opportunity in their lives. Once they missed it, they would never have the chance to encounter such good resources again.

Therefore, no one wanted to give up, even if it might bring them a disaster.

Cultivation itself was a heaven-defying thing, and danger was often accompanied by opportunities.

Each of them was from a weak individual, step by step, to their current status.

Their life itself was a process full of adventure.

At that point, it was not lacking at that time.

Therefore, very soon, people began to stir and move toward the ruins.

They first released their spiritual power and began to slowly explore the ruins like tentacles, carefully testing the tolerance of the Sacred Sovereign Li Qing.

However, Li Qing did not seem to have any tolerance.

The moment their aura was detected, Li Qing, who had her eyes closed, suddenly let out a light snort from her nose.

“Hmph!”

It was this light snort that instantly shattered everyone’s spiritual power.

Everyone was greatly shocked and looked at Li Qing with vigilance.

There were also some Sacred Sovereigns who looked at each other and started to communicate with each other.

“There’s definitely something good down there. Someone has already entered and started searching.

“I don’t know how far he’s progressed, but… If this continues, no matter how slow his progress is, he’ll probably empty out this huge treasure trove.

“At that time, with their Sacred Sovereign-level cultivation, it’ll be even easier for them to escape.

“Then the gains won’t make up for the losses.”

“You’re right. This kind of opportunity can only be encountered by chance and not sought after. We mustn’t give it up!”

“In any case, she is alone. We are all at the Sacred Sovereign level, we don’t believe that we can’t take her down.

“Everyone, let’s act together. As long as we kill her, we will split the treasures in this treasure vault equally.”

“Good! Then let this old man start.”

As he spoke, an old man with a head full of white hair and beard slowly stepped out. His gaze was like lightning as he glanced at Li Qing. After which, he spoke,

“A heaven-bestowed treasure should belong to everyone! Madam, aren’t you a little too tyrannical to want to monopolize it with your accomplices? This old man is the Sacred Sovereign of the Qingtong immortal sect, Li Xuan. I wish to experience your supreme techniques!”

As soon as those words were spoken, the entire place erupted into an uproar.

“It’s the Sacred Sovereign of the Qingtong immortal sect, Li Xuan!”

“What a fellow, he’s already a supreme cultivator the moment he appeared! He was an ancestor-level character from the Qingtong immortal sect. He had cultivated for more than 107,000 years and it was said that he had already reached the second aperture of the Sacred Sovereign. He could be said to be a genius among geniuses. Even among the Sacred Sovereigns, he wasn’t an ordinary character.

“I didn’t expect that he would actually come over.”

“Wouldn’t it be better if he came over? With an expert like him, this matter would most likely succeed. After he defeats the other party, we can take the opportunity to enter the ruins and drink some soup together.

“The aura from this remains treasury is so dense. Who knows how many good things are inside?

“Although we don’t have the strength to fight with these Sacred Sovereigns, but… Being able to casually drink some soup from inside is enough for us to enjoy for our entire lives.”

Everyone was secretly delighted and began to secretly gather their strength. They were prepared to wait for Sacred Sovereign Li Xuan to defeat Li Qing and rush in immediately to steal some benefits.

However, that Li Qing did not even open her eyes. She merely opened her mouth and coldly laughed.

“Since when did the little brat of the Qingtong immortal sect dare to stand out and shout?”

Li Xuan’s expression turned cold. The others could not help but speak,

“Isn’t this fellow a little too arrogant? The Qingtong immortal sect was the peak of the immortal world. They were all famous existences that could be ranked on the rankings. Sacred Sovereign Li Xuan’s strength wasn’t weak either. She actually dared to call him a little brat. She simply didn’t take Sacred Sovereign Li Xuan and the Qingtong immortal sect seriously

“Originally, if she wasn’t so high-profile, I’m afraid Sacred Sovereign Li Xuan wouldn’t be in such a state. But now, it seems that Sacred Sovereign Li Xuan won’t let her off so easily.”

Sacred Sovereign Li Xuan was just about to speak when the other party spoke again.

“Back then, if it wasn’t for the fact that Lord Shang imparted a Universal sacred art to you, your Qingtong immortal sect would have long been destroyed over 800 times. How could you act so arrogantly here today?”

Upon hearing those words, Li Xuan, who originally wanted to fly into a rage, suddenly narrowed his eyes as he spoke,

“You… What did you say just now?”

The other party did not even look at him. She only coldly spoke,

“You’ve already heard it just now. This venerable one doesn’t want to say any more nonsense.”

A layer of cold sweat had already formed on Li Xuan’s forehead. Moreover, what was even more unexpected was that not long after, he let out a long sigh and actually cupped his hands towards Li Qing. After which, he begged for forgiveness,

“This junior has been rude this time. This junior will leave now. When Lord Shang comes out in the future, this junior will definitely personally pay a visit and apologize to Lord Shang.”

As he spoke, he actually retreated on his own accord.

The entire crowd was dumbstruck!

The entire universe was silent.

All the characters, large and small, had their mouths agape when they saw that scene. They were so shocked that they did not know what to say.

After a long while, someone could not help but speak,

“Am I seeing things? or Am I still dreaming? The other party actually managed to persuade the exalted Li Xuan to retreat with just a few words. Oh my God, what background does this fellow have?”

The crowd started to stir, everyone was trying to guess the identity of the other party.

Not long after, a Sacred Sovereign with a single aperture seemed to have thought of something. He suddenly exclaimed in shock,

“Sacred Sovereign Shang! could he be the supreme genius who suppressed so many geniuses over 100,000 years ago? Shang Wuming!”

Everyone was suddenly shocked by his loud voice!

“What! Who is Shang Wuming? Is He very famous? He sounds like a very powerful figure.”

That Sacred Sovereign’s expression was extremely solemn, and hints of panic appeared on his face.

“Shang Wuming is more than powerful? He’s simply too powerful!

“One had to know that the cultivators of the immemorial era were much more powerful than those of our era.

“There were countless geniuses among them. Any one of them could become one of the best in our era.

“However, even under such circumstances, Shang Wuming could still suppress all the prodigies of the current era. He suppressed those prodigies at the end of the immemorial era to the point that they could not raise their heads.

“No one knows just how strong he is.

“However, it’s said that he can also cross ranks to kill enemies, just like the Ye Xiao of our generation.”

Hearing the name ‘Ye Xiao’, everyone present could not help but suck in a breath of cold air in unison.

Currently, in the entire immortal world, or perhaps in the entire universe, there was no existence more famous than the name ‘Ye Xiao’.

He was like the sun of that world, shining with a light that illuminated the entire world.

No one did not know, no one did not know!

While Shang Wuming was actually able to be compared to Ye Xiao. One could imagine how powerful he was.

Moreover, the most important thing was that the cultivation culture of that era that Ye Xiao suppressed was far from being as powerful as the immemorial era.

Therefore, from a certain perspective, Shang Wuming should be even more powerful than Ye Xiao.

At that instant, many people actually had the intention to retreat and did not dare to have any more thoughts about that relic.

After all, the risk was too great, and even the risk of almost dying was not something that anyone could easily bear.

After cultivating for so long, no one wanted to die without a burial ground.

However, among them, there were still quite a number of people whose eyes flickered non-stop as they sized up something.

They transmitted their voices to each other:

“This Shang Wuming might be very powerful, but who can say that the person inside is him? Moreover, even if it’s him, so many years have already passed. It’s impossible for him to be too powerful.

“I heard that previously, a portion of the archaic Sacred Sovereign went to the Xuan Yuan immortal territory to stir up trouble, but in the end, they were all killed by Ye Xiao.

“Those high-level cultivators were all killed by Ye Xiao. It shouldn’t be all because of Ye Xiao’s strength. There might also be a part of the reason. It’s because they’ve been asleep for too long, and the strength in their bodies has already been almost exhausted.

“If it wasn’t like this, he wouldn’t have come here to search for this relic now, right?”

Those words instantly lit up everyone’s thoughts, causing everyone present to be unable to hold back their excitement.

What he said was right!

No matter how powerful he was before, more than 100,000 years had already passed.

Such a long time was enough for his energy to be used up quite a bit.

He was no longer the supreme cultivator from the immemorial era, but a weak Sacred Sovereign.

Moreover, that person was most likely using the name of Lord Shang. Lord Shang might not have awakened, and he might not be in there.

Perhaps she was using her power to intimidate others, and the accomplices inside were others. Their goal was to seize the things in this ruin and use them to help awaken Lord Shang.

Thinking of that, the impulse in everyone’s hearts grew stronger.

Soon, another Sacred Sovereign stepped out,

He was definitely very old, but his appearance showed that he was only a middle-aged man.

“No matter how strong you are, you are all just old fogies. We juniors might not be your match in terms of age.

“However, in terms of cultivation, that might not be the case.

“Blazing Fire immortal sect’s Chi Jiuyang, Sacred Sovereign with two apertures, please enlighten me!”

…

Over at the archaic ruins, swords were drawn and crossbows were drawn, filled with the smell of gunpowder.

On the other side, over at the Xuan Yuan immortal sect, Ye Xiao had finally completely stabilized his cultivation. Furthermore, the Golden Book divine soul had already completely learned the Void celestial art.

That kind of power that could devour everything only made Ye Xiao realize even more deeply how powerful it was after all his cultivation.

The Destiny sacred art and the Primordial Chaos sacred art were already powerful enough, but in front of it, they seemed too childish and were not worth mentioning at all.

At that point, Ye Xiao felt that after having the Void celestial art, as long as he devoured enough energy, he would have enough confidence to advance to become a Celestial Sovereign!

Right after he woke up, Xuanyuan Long immediately came to report.

“Ye Xiao, previously, a fellow called ‘Shang’ came to invade and was killed by the Sacred Sovereign Ziyue’s puppet.”

Ye Xiao nodded.

“I know about this matter. However, that was merely his will body and not his actual body.”

Hearing those words, Xuanyuan Long instantly could not help but shiver.

That guy’s cultivation had already reached the Sacred Sovereign with three apertures but he was only a soul body. That guy was pretty terrifying.

Who knew how strong his main body was?

“During the time I was in seclusion, did anything big happen in the immortal world?”

Xuanyuan Long’s thoughts immediately became clear, and he immediately said,

“Something big indeed happened.”

“What is it?”

“It’s said that at a certain place in the immortal world, an archaic remain has opened up, and many cultivators have gone over.

“Because you haven’t woken up yet. That’s why we didn’t send anyone over.”

“Archaic remains?”

Ye Xiao pondered for a moment.

He had never heard of any archaic remains in the past. Now that it suddenly appeared, could it be related to that fellow Shang?

“Got it. I’ll go over and take a look myself.”

Ye Xiao was currently cultivating the Void celestial art, so he needed to devour a large amount of energy to increase his strength.

There were definitely many good things in the archaic ruins that he could devour.

Moreover, there was another problem. If those archaic ruins were related to that Sacred Sovereign Shang, he had to go over and take a look. If he could stop him, he had to stop him.

What if the other party used that archaic ruin to increase his strength? It would be a great threat to him.

Ye Xiao had always been used to nip threats in the bud.

At that point, he was not just himself. At the same time, he also had countless relatives and friends.

Xuanyuan Long was not surprised. Even if there was an accident, he would still listen to Ye Xiao’s orders.

The entire Xuan Yuan immortal sect was incomparably loyal to Ye Xiao.

“Yes! Do you need us to go with you?”

Ye Xiao shook his head.

“There’s no need. All of you stay behind to guard the Xuan Yuan immortal territory. I’ll go alone.”

“Yes!”

After Xuanyuan Long responded, Ye Xiao executed the Primordial Chaos sacred art and instantly disappeared from the spot.

The Void celestial art was too powerful, but it consumed a lot of energy as well. Under normal circumstances, it was better not to use it carelessly.

On the other hand, Xuanyuan Long was given a big fright.

‘What! Why do I feel that Ye Xiao’s strength seems to have increased by many times compared to before?’

However, the stronger Ye Xiao increases in strength, the happier he was.

That was a great good thing for the entire Xuan Yuan immortal sect.

On Ye Xiao’s side, although he was using the Primordial Chaos sacred art, his speed could not be underestimated.

In the blink of an eye, he arrived near that ancient ruin.

Since he could sense that the area had very powerful energy. He did not need others to say that he could clearly find that place.
