Chapter 270: Gathering to Attack the Formation

“Great! Can I go in now?”

Xuan Nan was the first to charge toward the Formation, only to slam headfirst into the barrier and be violently thrown back.

“This… still won’t work.” Xuan Nan pulled himself up from the ground, rubbing a large red bump on his head with irritation.

Xiao Chunwei, having just caught his breath, glanced at the faintly flickering light of the Yang Concealment Five Elements Formation and calmly said, “The Yang Concealment Five Elements Formation was set up by a master and can withstand attacks from experts above the Martial God level. So even weakened by ninety percent, it’s still not something we can break.”

The Qilin man angrily punched the air, his temper especially volatile. “Xiao Chunwei, I know you didn’t bring us here just to spout nonsense. Just tell us directly—how can we get in?”

Xiao Chunwei showed no displeasure at the Qilin man’s confrontation, still speaking with an air of ease. “At this point, the Formation has been weakened by ninety percent. Using brute force to break it isn’t an impossible method, but with just the few of us, it’s far from enough.”

He looked at the group, his meaning already clear.

“Impossible!”

The Qilin man’s eyes shifted, and he said resolutely, “If we spread the news and gather more people, the resources we’ll get will be even less. Is there no other way?”

Xiao Chunwei shook his head. “There is no other way.”

Everyone fell into deep thought.

Sky Demon Xiang Yu, having listened to the two chatter for so long only to find they still couldn’t enter, grew impatient and directly landed before the Formation.

“Break for me—now!”

Boom! Fist strikes like falling stars relentlessly pounded the light barrier, shaking the entire world as if a magnitude ten earthquake had swept through.

The others, unwilling to accept this, also flew before the Formation, employing Laws to attack.

Only Xiao Chunwei and Jiang Yan remained standing in place, their expressions varied, lost in thought.

At that moment, Jiang Yan suddenly asked, “Senior Xiao, what treasures are inside the ancient Sect that make such powerful beings so eager to enter?”

Hearing the address “Senior Xiao,” Xiao Chunwei unconsciously straightened his back and explained with a smile, “It is said that in ancient times, the boundaries between realms were interconnected, and travel between the great Star Domains was frequent, with the Transcendent path flourishing greatly. Later, for unknown reasons, the boundaries closed. In modern times, only two Star Domains can connect, and the cultivation path above the Tenth Rank gradually faded away. The great masters sought tirelessly but still struggled to find a chance for a Breakthrough. It is said that the strongest in the two Star Domains today are only at the Nine Heavens, with no one reaching that Supreme Realm.”

“So… you hope to find the cultivation methods of ancient sages from the ancient Sect?” Jiang Yan asked.

Xiao Chunwei nodded. “The path to the Supreme has been severed. Only from history can we find the answer.”

He gazed into the Void, his eyes filled with sorrow. “If I reach the end of my lifespan and still cannot glimpse that Supreme Realm, this life… would be in vain.”

This was the obsession of a Tenth Rank expert.

Jiang Yan had never heard these secrets from books. Thinking carefully, he realized he had indeed never encountered an expert above the Tenth Rank.

Outside the Formation, Sky Demon and the others were blasted away.

Xiang Yu climbed up, covered in dust, glaring angrily at the Formation barrier.

The others were more or less injured, but only superficially, and they could recover in an instant.

“How was it?”

Xiao Chunwei smiled at the group, awaiting their response.

The Qilin man snorted coldly but still asked, “How will you gather more people here?”

Xiao Chunwei took out a handful of Talismans and asked calmly, “So, does this mean you agree?”

Xuan Nan said boldly, “Rather than not being able to enter at all, it’s better for everyone to rely on their own abilities to compete for the treasures.”

“Good.” Knowing their choice, Xiao Chunwei no longer hesitated and threw all the Talismans out at once.

Countless Talismans collided in the sky, stirring the sea of clouds and giving rise to a brilliant vortex. Several Heaven-Reaching light pillars broke through the boundary walls, shooting straight beyond the world.

Jiang Yan watched, feeling puzzled.

Why was Xiao Chunwei so thoroughly prepared?

It was as if he had been waiting for this day for a long time.

Outside the world.

Several Heaven-Reaching light pillars appeared within people’s sight, their grandeur so immense that it inevitably led them to think of the emergence of a peerless treasure.

“Radiant light enveloping the sky, not a cloud for miles—this must be a peerless treasure about to appear!”

“Let’s go and take a look. We mustn’t miss any Opportunity.”

In the more distant Void, two powerful experts who had been fighting fiercely over a treasure stopped their battle upon seeing the towering light pillars in the distance, gazing at them in awe.

“How about we stop fighting and go treasure hunting together?”

“Damn it, take this punch from your grandpa!”

True experts had already learned to seize the opportunity for a sneak attack.

“Screw it, I don’t want the treasure anymore. Today, I’m definitely going to kill you!”

…

Apart from those two who were blinded by rage, more powerful experts chose to head to the world where the light pillars had appeared to investigate.

Usually, only the emergence of a divine treasure would cause such celestial phenomena. With such a grand spectacle this time, didn’t it indicate the presence of a peerless Opportunity there?

Inside the world.

Xiao Chunwei looked at the group.

“The Formation has been weakened by ninety percent. Once more experts gather here, if we all use Law attacks together, there’s a great chance we can Break the Formation.”

“Before that, let’s pretend to be bystanders. Otherwise, we might arouse suspicion.”

After Xiao Chunwei finished speaking, no one objected. They all moved away from the vicinity of the Formation, pretending to be a crowd that had just discovered the light pillars and come to investigate.

A few minutes later, more and more people had arrived in this world.

The glow of the Formation was very conspicuous. The first thing experts arriving in this world would notice was the uniqueness of the Formation, so more and more experts gathered outside it.

Xiao Chunwei and his group also pretended to be newcomers, following the flow of the crowd.

By now, many experts had already tried to Break the Formation to see what treasures were hidden inside.

Unfortunately, as more attempts were made, the number of failures also increased.

But the sturdier the Formation, the more it piqued everyone’s curiosity.

The relics left behind by an expert capable of setting up such a Formation must be precious, right?

Suddenly, as the Formation continued to be bombarded by Laws, the Phantom Images of structures slowly took shape.

When these Phantom Images appeared, everyone present gasped in astonishment.

“An ancient Sect! It’s an ancient Sect!”

“There’s actually an ancient Sect hidden here!”

“Hurry, everyone, attack together! This Formation won’t hold much longer. Everyone, stop holding back your strength. Breaking the Formation sooner will benefit us all.”

As soon as the Phantom Images of the ancient Sect appeared, the entire scene became electrified. Various Laws were unleashed recklessly toward the Formation barrier.

People’s gazes grew increasingly greedy, looking at the ancient Sect as if it were a rare and priceless treasure.

That’s an ancient sect, and what’s more, it’s an ancient sect from the Four Directions Realm. To establish a sect in such an extraordinary place, one can only imagine the profound heritage it possesses.
