The golden diagram was vast and grandiose, imbued with an energy that could cause the entire world to lose its luster. Those people who had managed to calm down immediately felt the blood rush to their heads once more, their eyes turning red.
Humans would die for riches as birds did for food. The stimulation of the Origin Immortal Art caused everyone to cast their fears to the back of their head.
”Forget it! You can't get a tiger cub without entering the tiger's cave!” an unaffiliated martial artist loudly shouted as he shot forward with astonishing speed. A moment later, in a ripple of light, the martial artist vanished.
Soon after, all the hesitating martial artists began to move toward that fountain of golden light, vanishing into the Origin Immortal Mountain in their fear of falling behind.
The Black Yin Ancestor and the Myriad Ghost Ancestor of the Five Ancestor Alliance had already charged forward, and when they saw this sight, they nastily grimaced.
”These damn things!”
With a grim expression, the Black Yin Ancestor fiercely thrust out a palm. ”Aaaah!” Screams tore through the air as ten-some unaffiliated martial artists were blasted to bits by the Black Yin Ancestor's Stellar Energy, their limbs showering the area. The survivors took flight and scattered, but even more martial artists continued to crazily charge ahead, ignoring the Black Yin Ancestor behind them and vanishing when they got fifty to sixty paces from the Origin Immortal Mountain.
As more and more martial artists charged into the Origin Immortal Mountain, the Myriad Ghost Ancestor and Black Yin Ancestor finally reached their breaking point.
”Everyone, hear my order! Charge into the Origin Immortal Art! Anyone who tries to stop us from obtaining the Origin Immortal Art must die!”
”Yes!”
Following the orders of the two ancestors, the several hundred Five Ancestor Alliance disciples pulled out their swords and charged forward with the Black Yin Ancestor and Myriad Ghost Ancestor, their bodies seething with killing intent.
”Guangting, there's something fishy about all this,” Song Yuanyi suddenly said. His brow was deeply furrowed, and he stared pensively at that fountain of golden light. ”I'll take in a group to explore while you stay outside with the remaining half to reinforce us at any time!”
Although he did not dare to be careless, he could see that the pure energy of the Origin Immortal Art was soaring into the skies. Whether it was real or faked, he needed to head inside to see what was going on.
Whoosh!
In a flash of light, Song Yuanyi soared into the air. A moment later, he had followed the Black Yin Ancestor and Myriad Ghost Ancestor into the Origin Immortal Mountain.
After seeing Song Yuanyi and the Myriad Ghost Ancestor disappear within, Xie Guangting turned around and began to issue orders.
”Pass on my order! Assume sword formations! Be ready to handle any sort of situation!”
No one knew that in the distance, a pair of eyes was silently watching all this unfold. Only now did they look away.
”Your Highness, this Origin Immortal Mountain seems to have drawn over all the sect experts of the Central Plains.”
On a green hill several li from the Origin Immortal Mountain, a muscular figure turned his head, a look of utmost respect on his face.
”Heh, the Central Plains is truly bursting with talent. Even this little corner of the northwest has no weaklings!”
His robe snapping in the wind, a heavily-bearded middle-aged man with thick brows and narrow eyes smiled. One could tell at a glance that he was not a person of the Central Plains. He wore a black robe and gripped a long flute whose tassel fluttered in the wind, and he exuded an aloof and transcendent aura.
All kinds of Hu ventured deep into the Central Plains, but few of them exuded such a thick aura of nobility as this middle-aged man. There was no question that he was a man of some status.
If someone from Youzhou were present, they would have immediately recognized in shock that this was an Eastern Turkic King known throughout the northeast: Ashina Bagushidu!
This Eastern Turkic King possessed incredibly profound martial arts, and more than half of Andong Protector-General Zhang Shougui's operations against the Eastern Turks had been ruined by this man. It was even said that Zhang Shougui had requested a ritual tool from the Sage Emperor to deal with him, joining together with the generals of his army to cultivate a joint attack formation.
But Ashina Bagushidu had never been very interested in the matters of the Eastern Turkic army and court. Unless the territory of the Eastern Turks came under attack, he spent the vast majority of the time on his own, his movements mysterious and secretive. Not even Ozmish, Khagan of the Eastern Turks, could order him around.
No one had expected this renowned Eastern Turkic King to appear in the Great Tang's northwest, near the location of the Origin Immortal Art.
