#322 - Tensions rise as ancient treasures are revealed
As they approached the central area, Ying Wuxie and the others could clearly sense the emergence of numerous powerful and concealed auras.
“The other super sects have indeed arrived.” Ying Wuxie's gaze swept across certain areas of the central zone, where he spotted several large groups of people. These were disciples from other super sects, including even the Nine Heavens Taiqing Palace.
With the appearance of Ying Wuxie and his large group of disciples, numerous gazes immediately converged upon this area, many faces displaying expressions of anticipation.
Everyone knew that the Burning Heaven Ancient Treasury would inevitably contain members of the Yuan Gate.
In their view, the Dao Sect disciples, who had deep-seated grievances with the Yuan Gate, should have avoided this area. However, the current scene showed that the Dao Sect disciples had clearly not done so.
In the Nine Heavens Taiqing Palace's group, Ling Qingzhu couldn't help but glance towards Lin Yun, a ripple of emotion flickering within her beautiful eyes beneath the veil.
Standing at the forefront of the Yuan Gate, Lin Yun clearly noticed this scene in the sky, his gaze locking onto the Dao Sect's group.
Under the focus of countless eyes, the Dao Sect disciples slowly descended into the central area.
Seeing them land, Lin Yun scanned the surroundings and then glanced at the crimson space, noticing the changes that were beginning to occur. A smile crept into his heart as an idea sparked.
He then took a step forward, his aura erupting to its peak, and coldly declared, “This is not a place for you to be!”
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's attention shifted towards the Dao Sect.
Amidst the countless gazes, Ying Wuxie also stepped forward, staring at Lin Yun and smiling, “What if we come?”
With that, his own aura exploded forth.
Two terrifying streams of Yuan Power clashed in the sky, distinctly dividing the area into two.
The atmosphere instantly became tense.
After a brief silence, the countless figures in the sky quickly erupted into lively discussions.
“Could they be about to fight?”
“Possibly, judging by their auras, a great battle could erupt any second.”
“I'm actually a little excited!”
“…”
Amidst the discussions, the auras of Lei Qian, Yuan Cang, and Ling Zhen behind Lin Yun also erupted one after another, and the Yuan Gate disciples behind them collectively took a step forward.
The Dao Sect was equally unwilling to be outdone. Ying Xiaoxiao, Wang Yan, Ying Huanhuan, and other Dao Sect disciples also stepped forward with tense expressions, their auras erupting fiercely.
Clearly, with just a little more provocation, a battle would instantly break out between the two sides.
Boom!
Just as the two sides were locked in this tense standoff, a sudden rumble echoed from the space in the central area of the basin.
Immediately, countless gazes shifted towards that direction.
They then saw that the space was exhibiting signs of distortion, and within the distorted space, faint outlines of ancient palaces seemed to appear. An aura of vicissitude, condensed from the passage of time, permeated the space and filled the heavens and earth.
“The Burning Heaven Ancient Treasury!”
With the emergence of this anomaly, joyous exclamations of excitement instantly echoed throughout the heavens and earth, and countless gazes abruptly turned fiery and greedy.
They had gathered here not to watch the Yuan Gate and Dao Sect fight; their goal was the Burning Heaven Ancient Treasury hidden here!
Seeing the opportune appearance of the Burning Heaven Ancient Treasury, a subtle smile crept onto Lin Yun's otherwise stern face—this was exactly what he wanted.
He then coldly snorted towards the Dao Sect disciples before turning to the Yuan Gate disciples and saying, “Secure the treasury first!”
“Those above the Eight Yuan Nirvana Realm, enter; the rest, remain here.”
Upon hearing this, the Yuan Gate disciples nodded in unison, and then many disciples split off and stood behind Lin Yun.
The gazes of others also focused on him.
The reason they came here was because they had received information that the Yuan Gate could open the ancient treasury, and it seemed that only Lin Yun could do so now.
Under Lin Yun's arrangement, the Yuan Gate disciples had now gathered before the distorted space. Then, under the watchful eyes of countless people, Lin Yun waved his hand, and the map given to him by Ren Yuanzi suddenly appeared. Yuan Power seeped into it, and a fiery red light burst forth from the map.
He then tossed the map, and the fiery red light shot out, trailing a fiery tail, directly towards the distorted space.
Chī chī!
When the firelight touched the distorted space, fiery red ripples spread out in circles.
Immediately afterward, everyone saw that the distorted space began to slowly crack open, and a vast and ancient aura emanated from within, as if returning to the ancient earth.
“Boom!”
The atmosphere in the heavens and earth suddenly exploded as the distorted space tore open, and countless gazes became extremely fiery.
The Burning Heaven Ancient Treasury was a very famous ancient treasury in the Alien Demon Domain. It was said to contain many powerful ancient martial arts, and even the existence of Pure Yuan Treasures.
In the past, no one could open this Burning Heaven Ancient Treasury, so most people, although covetous, were helpless. But now that the ancient treasury was opening, the greed in these people's hearts also erupted at this moment.
Lin Yun ignored them and instead established a task in his mind.
He naturally knew what was in this Burning Heaven Ancient Treasury.
After a moment, the system's prompt sounded in his mind.
【Task: Obtain the Burning Heaven Cauldron. Reward: The Cauldron of the Origin of Myriad Things.】
Hearing this prompt, a smile appeared on Lin Yun's face. He then waved his hand and said, "Go!"
He led the Yuan Gate disciples into the Burning Heaven Ancient Treasury first.
The others, seeing the Yuan Gate disciples rushing in, couldn't wait to follow, rushing towards the opened treasury.
Just as several figures rushed into the crimson world, their bodies suddenly and strangely ignited, immediately emitting a shrill scream, causing countless people to change color in fear.
In just a moment, several figures turned into fireballs and eventually dissipated.
This sudden scene extinguished some of the greed in the crowd, and a look of horror appeared in their eyes.
“It seems that not everyone can enter this Burning Heaven Ancient Treasury.”
“It seems that only those in the Eight Yuan Nirvana Realm are entering from the Yuan Gate.”
Amidst the discussions, many people also noticed that the Yuan Gate had left many disciples behind.
Seeing this, the surrounding crowd also began to gradually disperse, and many forces selected their elite disciples.
Then the sound of rushing wind rang out again, and figures rushed into the crimson world, and this time, there were no more incidents of being burned to ashes.
