The sound of bells echoed throughout the entire Guixu City.
Chu Fengmian heard the ringing of the bells and slowly opened his eyes, as did Han Yueli next to him.
Both figures immediately walked out of their cave dwellings.
Outside, almost all the martial artists in Guixu City heard the bells and one by one emerged from their dwellings.
Gazes fixed upon the sky above.
As countless martial artists emerged, a colossal surge of Spiritual Power suddenly descended from the heavens.
The Spiritual Power, like a long river, extended from the sky above right through the middle of Guixu City.
Within this river, innumerable figures fell, each one’s aura terrifyingly powerful, with even the weakest among them being at least beyond the scope of life and death.
These individuals were the VIPs of the Nine Domains, all descending.
To choose the geniuses who would enter Guixu Heaven, many of whom possessed strengths comparable or even surpassing the pinnacle of Life and Death Platform.
These geniuses vying to enter Guixu Heaven were all proud and ambitious; hence, only those who surpassed life and death could suppress them.
Therefore, amongst the powerhouses that had arrived, the weakest were also those who surpassed life and death, stepping onto the shattered domain of the Life and Death Platform.
"Everyone of you is a genius from the Nine Domains, coming for the opening of Guixu Heaven. Guixu Heaven has been opened countless times, and you should be aware of its various situations, I won’t explain them one by one."
A white-haired elder amongst the group of powerhouses suddenly spoke.
The aura emanating from this elder was slightly stronger than the others around him, clearly a formidable figure on the high steps of the Life and Death Platform.
The elder’s strength was unfathomable; Chu Fengmian felt that if this elder wished to strike, he could annihilate Chu Fengmian almost instantly.
Although Chu Fengmian now could contend with those in the shattered domain and even the realm of immortality, that was just the first two tiers of the Life and Death Platform.
Chu Fengmian was still far from being able to handle those who had truly reached high levels on the Life and Death Platform.
Chu Fengmian stood still, concealing his various encounters on his body to prevent discovery by other powerhouses, just in case.
While speaking, the elder’s gaze swept over everyone present.
All hundred martial artists vying for entry into Guixu Heaven had now assembled.
Despite the myriad dangers within Guixu Heaven, none of the martial artists who secured an entry spot would choose to give it up, for Guixu Heaven contained countless treasures and opportunities.
Such a chance was not to be missed by anyone, despite the dangers; after all, those who had come this far had emerged from repeated life and death situations, none fearful of death.
After a sweeping glance over the crowd, the white-haired elder nodded and continued to speak.
"The opening of Guixu Heaven will last for only one month; after a month, we will join forces again to tear through the space, lasting for one hour. You must leave within that hour or you’ll be trapped in Guixu Heaven forever."
The white-haired elder spoke coldly.
At those words, Chu Fengmian nodded.
Places like Guixu Heaven were fraught with danger at every moment; one month was the optimal timeframe. If they really stayed there for three years, it was likely that not one of the countless martial artists would make it out alive.
That would truly be a loss beyond redemption.
"Enough talk, we are about to open the pathway to Guixu Heaven. All martial artists may enter!"
The white-haired elder’s voice rang out coldly as he immediately began to gather Spiritual Power.
Around him, the other powerhouses also began to accumulate their strength.
These powerhouses, hailing from various forces within the Nine Domains, numbered in the dozens. They concentrated their power en masse, all pouring it into the elder’s body.
With a great wave of his hand, the elder forcefully slashed towards the sky, rending it with countless cracks.
Behind these fissures, a distinctly different region appeared, like another world.
Behind the sky was the real Guixu Heaven.
"Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!"
The moment the space was torn, countless figures stirred.
Near Chu Fengmian’s dwelling, several figures leaped into the air and darted towards the torn space.
The individuals marked with star diagrams strode through the air, each step transforming into a Star Fall. These martial artists were disciples of one of the seven great sects, the Tian Shu Palace.
Apart from them, disciples of the remaining great sects had also promptly moved forward.
These disciples from the seven great sects were the first to act, vying to gain an advantage.
In Guixu Heaven, countless treasures and opportunities awaited, but getting ahead even by a second could mean acquiring an additional chance, thus numerous martial artists were eager to enter.
Just then, a burst of Spiritual Power exploded in midair.
A martial artist attempted to compete with the disciples of the seven great sects, hoping to take a step forward and gain an advantage but was sent flying to the ground by a disciple from the Nine Magic City Sect, incurring severe injuries.
"These disciples from the seven great sects are truly domineering!"
Many martial artists cursed at the scene.
It seemed as if the disciples from the seven great sects had an agreement not to attack each other and to seize the lead.
But the more disciples from other sects tried to enter, the more they were blocked.
Some disciples from the seven great sects even remained behind to obstruct other martial artists, allowing their fellows to seize the initiative and plunder at will.
Chu Fengmian could see that these disciples from the seven great sects were attacking other martial artists, preventing their entry.
"These disciples from the seven great sects seem even more domineering than they were ten thousand years ago," Chu Fengmian watched the scene above and sneered coldly.
If they continued to block the way, the treasures inside could be thoroughly picked through by the disciples from the seven great sects.
Those entering later would only have leftovers to pick from.
Chu Fengmian did not come to Guixu Heaven this time to pick through others’ leftovers.
Chu Fengmian said softly to Han Yueli beside him.
His body immediately soared up towards the sky.
