Chapter 187: Senior Brother, So You're a Master on the Immortal Ranking?
Yang Ji and the others continued onwards, and along the way, they didn't discover any other Dao stone veins.
However, he didn't stop; he seemed to have a goal in mind as he flew through the passage, and everyone knew he must have found something.
Sure enough, before long, they followed him to the vicinity of a very tall and thick wall of white clouds.
There, the ten cultivators from the Holy Race who had entered first were actually at the wall, joining hands to bombard it.
Waves of holy light surged!
In an instant, the ten cultivators from the Holy Race joined forces to unleash the 'Holy King's Judgement' and finally blasted a small corner of the wall open.
As the gap opened, a rich stream of Dao energy gushed out, and Yang Ji and the others saw a dazzling light inside, with at least ten Milky Way-like mid-grade Dao stone veins floating within. Among them, there was an even larger purple dragon weaving up and down.
"The veins have taken shape, that is... a superior Dao stone vein!" everyone thought, shocked.
"A superior Dao stone vein has its own spirit and can transform into anything. It can absorb the free spiritual energy between heaven and earth to strengthen itself. Just one is enough to support a second-rate sect. If acquired, future cultivation would be carefree—a truly incredible creation!" Chu Gang exclaimed softly.
"Ten mid-grade Dao stone veins, one superior Dao stone vein—this formation node is extraordinary," Zhong Jun said with a glint in his eye.
"This is a mid-level formation node. The ones we encountered before were only at the elementary level," Yang Ji explained.
"Mid-level formation node? Are there advanced formation nodes as well? Could there be supreme Dao stone veins inside?" Everyone pondered, and couldn't help but gasp in astonishment.
A single supreme Dao stone vein could support a first-rate sect and give birth to Mahayana cultivators.
Supreme Dao stone veins possess greater spiritual intelligence than superior Dao stone veins, and they can also transform into anything and absorb the free spiritual energy to grow stronger. As long as a sect uses it sparingly and avoids actions that damage its foundation, even one vein would ensure the enduring prosperity of a first-rate sect.
"Good heavens! Ten mid-grade Dao stone veins, one superior Dao stone vein!"
"What do we do? The Holy Race is controlling the opening; we can't rush in. Are all these veins going to fall into the hands of the Holy Race?"
"It seems these are not ordinary members of the Holy Race. Judging by their attire, they appear to be disciples of the Saint King Sect from the Saint Luminance World, the number one sect there. They are not a force to be trifled with by just anyone!"
"Indeed, the patriarch of this sect, the 'Saint King,' is one of the oldest Immortal Kings in the Immortal Realm, often manifests in the Saint King Sect to bestow the will of the Saint King on outstanding disciples. This sect virtually does as it pleases in the Saint Luminance World, and no one dares to offend them!"
"Look, the people from Tianyi Sect of the Tianze World are hesitating; clearly, they also dare not easily offend these disciples of the Saint King Sect."
"Tianyi Sect from Tianze World, Immortal Sect from Shenxiao World, Luoguang Sect from Great Luo World—they have all arrived!"
Just as the many figures from the Saint King Sect joined forces to unleash the Supreme Divine Power 'Saint King's Judgement' and blast open a corner of the white cloud wall, many other powers outside were attracted to the scene. After all, such a strong wave of Dao energy could not be concealed by anyone.
Money stirs up the human heart.
These major powers, with their various experts, although constrained by the strength of the Saint King Sect, not one person was willing to leave. They all looked greedily at the Dao stone veins inside.
However, among these ten disciples of the Saint King Sect, four exuded an especially powerful aura, clearly four leader-level geniuses.
Such individuals could easily wreak havoc on the silver and bronze rankings. Among those powers that had arrived, there were also four or five leader-level talents, but their foundations were insufficient. If they were to force their way in and be slain by these disciples of the Saint King Sect, the loss would be too great.
"Everyone, please do me, Sheng Yu, a favor. The Dao stone veins in this secret chamber were discovered by our Saint King Sect. Please leave, or else we will not hesitate to kill!"
One of the leader-level geniuses from the Saint King Sect showed absolute dominance, holding a Saint King Scepter in his hand, wielding the power of decision, as if he were the Saint King himself, deterring everyone there.
His voice rang out like a great bell, authoritative without anger, causing the average person's ears to buzz and mind to waver.
"So, this guy turns out to be Sheng Yu, ranking high on the gold list!"
"Hmph! You people from the Saint King Sect are truly ambitious like a wolf, wanting to monopolize all the Dao stone veins. We will never agree to it. Let's all attack together, take them down, and not let them reap the benefits so easily."
Sheng Yu's words naturally caused dissatisfaction among many. Yang Ji saw that quite a few people were looking displeased.
"Hmph! Sneaking around! How dare you say our Saint King Sect has wolfish ambitions? You think I can't find you just because you're hiding in the shadows? Die!"
Sheng Yu's gaze turned fierce, locking onto a spot in the void. He suddenly hurled the scepter in his hand, transforming it into a ray of holy light that soared into the sky and killed, and with a bang, an explosion occurred in that area of the void. The person hiding within was blasted out, drenched in blood, and instantly obliterated.
"Turns out to be someone from the Holy Light Sect of our Saint Luminance World. No wonder you're skulking around! You rats trying to stir up trouble and fan the flames, courting death!"
Seeing the attire of the person, Sheng Yu's gaze grew colder, and he brandished the scepter again, launching another attack.
"Not good! Let's go!" Seeing this, the members of the Holy Light Sect hiding in the dark were frightened and quickly retreated.
"Hmph! Holy Light Sect, I'll remember this!" Sheng Yu watched them flee and didn't give chase, coldly recalling his scepter.
