"I do love hearing that."
Upon hearing Mo Wangchen’s words, Ling Feng smiled and continued, "Although everyone got along well at the previous gathering, we came from the Lower Realm of Canglan after all. Some Divine Sons looked at us with a hint of strangeness in their eyes."
"One day, after proving my emperorship, I’ll show them."
"If it’s not necessary, don’t bother with them. After all, they are local Divine Sons. Although they themselves are not much of a threat, the forces behind them have been passed down for millions of years and are immensely powerful," Mo Wangchen said.
Then, the two continued to walk through the city, which, compared to three days ago,
had clearly become much more crowded, with more and more powerful beings and monsters arriving.
There were fewer than ten days left until Qin Yue’s emperorship.
"Let us now head to the Flower Fairy Palace to see if we can enter and meet Qin Yue one last time," Mo Wangchen suggested.
Ling Feng nodded, and after asking around, the two of them headed in the direction of the Flower Fairy Palace.
But just as they were about to leave the city, suddenly, the space above Baihua City violently fluctuated.
The sky darkened instantly, and the entire Baihua City seemed to have fallen into night.
A sense of unknown oppression enveloped the hearts of the people in the city. Almost without needing a reminder, everyone in the city simultaneously lifted their heads to look up at the sky.
Seeing the intense fluctuations, everyone’s hearts were filled with confusion and shock, completely at a loss as to what was happening.
"An Outer Heaven Object?"
"Is a treasure flying in from beyond the heavens?!"
Soon after, the crowd exclaimed as they could see a dazzling white brilliance speeding towards them from above the endless Heavenly Vault of Baihua City.
It was like a meteor falling to earth, the white light trailing a long stream of air, causing Heaven and Earth to pale as if this light were the only brightness in the world.
"Could the legends be true?"
Many had surprised looks, their eyes flickering with unusual light. "Legends say, in the ancient years, Baihua City was a place of good fortune. Beneath this city lies a Dragon Vein suppressed since ancient times. During the Ancient Times, many Outer Heaven Objects descended, each being some heavenly Magical Treasure. Historical records even mention someone obtaining an Immortal Artifact!"
These were accounts recorded in ancient texts, after all just hearsay, and no one in this era had witnessed it themselves.
Now, the descending white brilliance, clearly sweeping in from the distant cosmic space, inevitably reminded people of those legends.
The entire Baihua City was stirred up as countless experts had arrived.
This sudden descent likely harbored an Immortal Artifact or other heavenly treasures, and no one could resist the temptation.
Numerous figures shot out from the city into the high skies, all eager to seize the approaching white brilliance.
"An Outer Heaven Object? An Immortal Artifact? Is it real?"
Mo Wangchen and Ling Feng had not yet left the city, and both furrowed their brows, exchanging glances.
If it truly were an Immortal Artifact, then today, Baihua City would undoubtedly witness a life-and-death struggle.
With so many experts gathered here now, if a fight were to break out, it would definitely be a scene of bloodshed. The existence of an Immortal Artifact was too tempting for anyone, even for a Sacred Land like an Ancient Family, not to be fiercely contested.
Above the sky, an Elder of the Sacred Land flew at the forefront. His large hand reached out, intending to snatch the rapidly falling white light.
However, within that white light, a slender glimmer shot out, instantly killing the Sacred Land’s Elder. The gleam pierced through his brow, and he fell dead on the spot, lifeless, his body plummeting down into the city below.
This scene was so sudden that it caught everyone off guard. By the time they reacted, their faces had all changed color.
"It must be an Ancient Immortal Artifact, just a single beam was able to slay an Elder of the Sacred Land!"
"Immortal Artifact! We must obtain it!"
The crowd went even crazier; their bodies didn’t stop moving, still flying upwards.
An Immortal Artifact was no trivial object; if it could be obtained by one Sacred Land, it would greatly enhance their foundation, making them one of the most powerful forces in the Northern Immortal Domain.
Even a second-rate force could potentially become a Sacred Land by acquiring an Immortal Artifact!
Man City was astounded; no one could remain seated, all leapt up, wanting to snatch this Outer Heaven Object.
But this Outer Heaven Object was too terrifying. Another delicate gleam shot forth, immediately slaying a Cultivator who approached too close, turning him to dust, leaving nothing behind.
"The light is growing dim!"
"This object has a limited number of attacks; once its light completely fades, no more beams will shoot out. Everyone, hurry up and seize it!" an old man stood in mid-air, yet he did not move.
"You’re spouting nonsense. Why don’t you go up yourself instead of asking others to die?" someone said with a disdainful expression.
Most people stopped in their tracks, too afraid to get any closer—the gleam was too terrifying. The two individuals who had just died were both Elders from various Sacred Lands, with at least the cultivation of the seventh layer of the Emperor Realm.
Suddenly, an Elder burst forth, showing no signs of stopping as he rapidly flew toward the falling white light.
Everyone was taken aback, recognizing him as another Elder from a Sacred Land with considerable cultivation.
As expected, another beam shot from within the white light, swiftly aiming at the old man, about to slay him on the spot.
Suddenly, the old man revealed a shield in his hands, which radiated divine light—an Ancient Emperor Weapon designed for defense!
However, the beam’s power was far beyond everyone’s expectations. The shield in the old man’s hands couldn’t withstand the blow, and it exploded on impact. The beam pierced through the old man’s body, sending him flying back, coughing up blood, nearly slain.
"Not even an Ancient Emperor Weapon can withstand it!"
"This Outer Heaven Object must certainly be an Immortal Artifact!"
The crowd’s expressions changed, their eyes flickering with even more determination not to let this object slip away.
"What do you think, should we make a move?"
Down in the city, Mo Wangchen and the two others had not moved a step from beginning to end. Wu Lingfeng spoke.
Mo Wangchen shook his head, his brow slightly furrowed, "Let’s watch and wait for now. There are too many masters here; we simply aren’t qualified to contend for it. Moreover, whether this object is truly an Immortal Artifact is still uncertain."
As they spoke, the rapid descent of the white light in the endless heavenly vault finally slowed down. Eventually, it stopped over Baihua City, its radiance shining brightly, illuminating all directions.
