It was impossible to see the bottom of the pitch-black pit, and the sides were glossy and smooth.

Everyone felt as if this crater was a bottomless abyss: deep, mysterious, dangerous, frightening.

The many martial artists gathered before this yawning chasm felt like tiny ants.

Absolute silence reigned.

Time seemed to stop for a moment. All the eyes of the crowd were fixed on the massive pit.

Although there was no evidence for it, everyone instinctively had the same idea.

This massive pit was the true entrance into the Origin Immortal Lord's treasury.

But now that the entrance was actually open, nobody said anything, their previous excitement instantly cooling.

”Look over there!” one of the martial artists standing at the front shouted, pointing ahead.

Everyone followed his finger and spotted a stone stele around six or seven feet high near the mysterious pit. Several characters had been written in cinnabar onto the stele, each word written with such force that they bored into the surface of the stele.

The crowd had been so focused on the massive pit that they had failed to notice it at first.

'Origin Immortal Art, No Gate to Fortune or Disaster. Only the Destined Will Obtain It!'

Wang Chong's eyes flashed as he recognized the words on the stele.

”The Origin Immortal Art, it's really the Origin Immortal Art! The treasury left by the Origin Immortal Lord must be down this pit! Let's go already!” someone shouted with incredible excitement.

In the past, everyone would have already been charging in, but now, the call was greeted with silence. Even that martial artist who had shouted remained motionless.

Everyone was looking at each other, and a strange and awkward atmosphere began to settle in.

Everyone was waiting for someone else to go in and find out if all this was real.

The martial arts world was one full of backstabbers. Anyone who could have appeared here was not an easy customer. None would them dare to charge in until they had figured out what was going on.

”Hmph!”

Seeing that everyone else wasn't moving, the Black Yin Ancestor snorted. A moment later, he waved his sleeve, pushing in three or four unaffiliated martial artists, sending them high into the air and over the pit.

These martial artists had just appeared above the chasm when an invisible energy seized them and dragged them straight down.

”Ah!”

Screams tore through the air as these martial artists streaked like comets into the pit and vanished from sight.

Whoooah!

Those around the Black Yin Ancestor and the Five Ancestor Alliance immediately backed away like they had noticed a venomous snake.

Others turned to the bottomless black hole in dread, their faces pale.

”There's something weird about this pit!”

The crowd felt fear in their hearts as they looked at the yawning chasm.

The Black Yin Ancestor's actions had been rather brutal, but he was a member of the evil path, so this action was not completely unexpected.

In contrast, this enormous pit, based on the trajectory of those martial artists, clearly had some sort of abnormal pull that would hasten one's descent.

Creee!

At this moment, a bird cried from overhead as it flew above the mountain. But a moment later, the bird screeched as the pull dragged it into the pit.

”Ah!”

Everyone instantly paled at this sight.

Even the likes of the Black Yin Ancestor and the Lone Silence Ancestor couldn't help but twitch a little.

Almost all people who had reached the Black Yin Ancestor's level of cultivation could use abilities similar to the Celestial Wolf's Divine Procession. But no matter how strong they were, they couldn't be like birds and fly freely in the skies.

However, even a bird had instantly been pulled down from the sky and into the abyss, so what hope did they have?

”It seems like entering the Origin Immortal Treasury won’t be as easy as we imagined,” the Wushang Village Chief suddenly said.

Ever since the Origin Immortal Formation, no one dared to underestimate the things left behind by the Origin Immortal Lord.

Although no one had actually seen what was inside, their intuition told them that this pit was fraught with dangers.
