Chapter 404: Chapter 402: The Contest

At this moment within Mountain of the Divine Medicine, the entrance area had already been densely filled with a massive number of figures.

These figures were numerous, and this was despite them spreading out and continuously searching the surroundings. If they were all to converge in one place, it would be even more astounding.

Two hundred and seventy thousand figures, dressed in a variety of shining clothes, could easily be seen divided into nine groups.

The Sword Immortal Tomb had arrived earliest, but its members were deeply frowning, as they couldn’t find the location of the supreme treasure at all.

They occupied the exact center of the black light spot, which was situated next to a large mountain.

And right here was where the sky ripped apart for miles!

Everyone understood—if there was truly a supreme treasure, then the birthplace of that treasure must definitely be here!

Behind them, a large wave of disciples from other sects were catching up, converging towards the Sword Immortal Tomb like a torrential flood.

“Where exactly is it!!!”

Within the Sword Immortal Tomb, there was a very tall man who appeared incredibly handsome, his face flushed red as if he was desperate from not being able to find the treasure.

His gaze occasionally shifted towards the rear, and that originally handsome face now seemed somewhat fierce at this moment.

“This supreme treasure must be an opportunity for the many disciples of our Sword Immortal Tomb. Entering Mountain of the Divine Medicine, our Sword Immortal Tomb was the last to enter, and this treasure appeared right at the entrance of Mountain of the Divine Medicine. If it’s not meant for our Sword Immortal Tomb, who would believe it!” the handsome young man gnashed his teeth.

“Senior Brother Wang Lie, Giant Island and Immortal Dao Court are about to arrive, do we need to seal off this area?” another disciple asked.

“Of course!”

Wang Lie’s expression turned cold, “This supreme treasure is destined for our Sword Immortal Tomb, and I won’t let anyone else snatch it away!”

“Over here!”

At that moment, a voice mixed with excitement and agitation suddenly entered their ears.

Wang Lie’s face immediately revealed wild joy; his figure swiftly flickered, leading the other disciples of the Sword Immortal Tomb towards the location of the person who had just spoken.

Soon, they arrived at the foot of a mountain, where there appeared to be a not-so-deep cave, and astonishingly, the entrance of this cave was blocked by a thunder curtain.

In front of this cave, there stood a disciple clad in the Sword Immortal Tomb’s uniform. It was he who had uttered that cry.

If it hadn’t been for the thunder curtain here, he certainly would not have spoken out.

Even as he did, he had tried to blast open the thunder curtain, but to no avail.

With no other choice, he had to inform the other members of the Sword Immortal Tomb about the situation here.

Quickly, Wang Lie led the many disciples of the Sword Immortal Tomb rushing over.

From their expressions, it seemed like Wang Lie was one of the leaders. He wore the attire of the pinnacle disciples of the Sword Immortal Tomb, and his cultivation base was at the Dragon Pill Realm Peak!

“Make way!”

Seeing numerous figures blocking the way ahead, Wang Lie frowned and snorted coldly.

The crowd immediately dispersed, and Wang Lie arrived in front of the cave mansion, his expression becoming solemn.

“Who said the treasure was here?” Wang Lie said sternly.

The disciple who had spoken before suddenly turned pale, saying, “Senior Brother Wang, we searched the vicinity and did not find the treasure. However, based on the light spot and the torn sky, the birthplace of the treasure must definitely be here. Within a hundred miles radius, the only special place is this one.”

“I just tried to blast through this Thunder Curtain, but my attack was simply absorbed into it, like striking water with no effect at all,” he said.

Wang Lie glanced at this person and felt that what he said made sense. After pondering for a moment, a longsword suddenly appeared in his hand, and with a loud bang, he slashed toward the Thunder Curtain.

With this slash, many ripples immediately appeared on the Thunder Curtain, and Wang Lie’s longsword, as if attracted, wrenched free from his grasp and directly merged into the Thunder Curtain.

“How interesting,” Wang Lie said, his eyes twinkling and a slight smile curling at the corner of his mouth.

The longsword he had just used was merely a Silver Level weapon, not much to him, simply a probe.

“This cave is mysterious. Even if there is no Supreme Treasure inside, it must have been a place where a Mighty Being of the past secluded themselves for Cultivation. How come, after such a long time, has no one discovered it?” Wang Lie mused.

“I swear, before I came here, this Cave Mansion didn’t exist because I clearly remember passing by this very spot!” another person shouted.

His words made Wang Lie pause, then his eyes shone brightly.

“If that’s really true, then it must have appeared after we got here. That means… this cave could very well be where the Supreme Treasure emerged!” he said.

“Men!”

Wang Lie waved his hand and commanded loudly, “Seal off this area layer by layer. Do not allow anyone from other Sects to come in, even if it means fighting to the death to stop them. If we can obtain an item of Holy Spirit Level and offer it to our Sect, there will surely be an immense reward!”

Upon hearing his words, the disciples of Sword Immortal Tomb were visibly shaken.

Especially the Outer Sect Disciples and Inner Sect Disciples, who had never experienced something like this, believed him and immediately showed their resolve.

However, those who were Pinnacle Disciples like Wang Lie just smirked.

The Sword Immortal Tomb had once said that any Rare Treasures obtained during adventures outside were the finder’s to keep, without needing to be turned over to the Sect.

Wang Lie was currently enticing these Outer and Inner Sect Disciples with the promise of a reward from the Sect. The real competition would happen among these Pinnacle Disciples.

“Mountain of the Divine Medicine doesn’t belong to your Sword Immortal Tomb!”

Just then, a cold snort sounded from a distance.

Soon after, figures rapidly converged from all sides, their clothing marking them as people from Giant Island.

Giant Island had entered the Mountain of the Divine Medicine before Sword Immortal Tomb, and now Sword Immortal Tomb was the first to return, making Giant Island the second to arrive.

“Giant Island…”

Wang Lie’s expression soured, for, among the disciples of the Top Ten Super Sects, those most capable of competing undoubtedly belonged to Giant Island, Demon Domain, and One Slash Palace.

One Slash Palace has always been extremely low-profile, its Sect Disciples never showing off, making it difficult to ascertain their true power.

The people from Demon Domain are ferocious and ruthless, engaging in combat without regard for their lives, the kind of people who are most troublesome to deal with.

As for the disciples of Giant Island, they all practice the Giant Spirit Body; upon unleashing their power, they are nearly invincible at their level, and though it can’t be sustained for long, it gives them enough power to vie for possession.

With the arrival of Giant Island, their Sect Disciples immediately launched their attacks like a flood, scattering the disciples of Sword Immortal Tomb.

And following the arrival of Giant Island, the Immortal Dao Court has come as well.

Without any hesitation, they all rushed towards the cave.
