He was slightly hunched over, his head drooping, his eyes seemingly flustered and timid, but in reality, he had taken in the entire situation and everyone’s small movements within a hundred miles.
Occasionally, when he encountered stray spells or fragments of space flying in the distance, he would feign panic and shrink closer to Su Qingyuan.
His shoulder brushed lightly against the other person’s sleeve, looking weak and desperate, as if he were afraid of being hit by stray bullets and only wanted to survive.
Each time she got close, Su Qingyuan subconsciously slowed down the fluctuations of her spiritual energy and slightly turned her body to shield him from all the aftershocks.
In their hearts, they only thought he was an ordinary rogue cultivator with low cultivation level who had never seen such a brutal battle before, and was purely cowardly, never having the slightest vigilance.
The stalker, Ku Gu Jin, who was following in the shadows, witnessed this scene. His anger surged again, and he was so angry that his teeth itched.
He endured the pain and waited for the right moment to strike, but both of his carefully planned assassinations and sneak attacks inexplicably failed. He couldn’t even figure out the opponent’s methods, and he was already seething with anger.
Yet this ant, whom he could crush with a flick of his wrist, could openly cling to Su Qingyuan’s side, enjoying the closeness and protection he had always dreamed of, and even receiving gentle treatment from the aloof and proud goddess of the Heavenly Palace.
On what grounds?
The long, narrow eyes of the withered bones were twisted with malice, and the dark death aura around him was faintly restless. If it weren’t for his trusted confidants’ desperate dissuasion, he would have already attacked again.
He clenched his teeth, secretly vowing to wait a little longer, to wait for the perfect opportunity, and to make this ant die a horrible death, to repay this humiliation a hundredfold.
Just as the chaos was escalating, a blinding bluish-white light suddenly appeared a hundred miles ahead!
That light was unlike ordinary primordial spiritual light; it was neither noisy nor violent, but rather carried a profound and ancient Daoist charm that pierced through layers of chaotic mist, forcefully illuminating the entire dark sky.
At the center of the rosy light, Dao patterns flowed and auspicious energy rose, with faint, ancient and distant Dao sounds slowly spreading, which made one’s Dao foundation tremble and one’s mind clear.
The cultivators who were fighting each other in various places suddenly froze in their tracks!
Everyone instinctively stopped fighting and turned to look at the sudden burst of bluish-white light. The bloodlust and madness in their eyes were instantly replaced by extreme fanaticism.
“Such pure ancient Daoist essence! This is no ordinary primordial spiritual vein!”
“A supreme treasure has appeared! It is definitely an ancient Dao Ruins treasure that has been unearthed!”
“My God! Such auspicious light and aura, it must be at least a high-grade Heaven-rank ancient artifact!”
“The core opportunity of the Dao Ruins, which only appears once every three hundred years, has finally appeared! Hurry over there!”
A moment of deathly silence, and then the entire stadium erupted in cheers!
The cultivators who had been fighting fiercely instantly put aside their differences and stopped fighting. All their eyes were fixed on the center of the rosy light a hundred miles away, their eyes filled with greed and fanaticism.
Countless figures soared into the air, their various colors of spiritual energy piercing through the dim chaos, rushing madly towards the direction where the supreme treasure was born.
Even knowing that a deadly trap and fierce battle were inevitable ahead, not a single person hesitated or retreated.
The Dao Ruins Treasure is a rare find, appearing only once every three hundred years. Once obtained, it can refine one’s Dao foundation, break through shackles, and comprehend the ancient Dao essence. Even a powerful immortal lord cannot resist such a heaven-defying opportunity.
In an instant, the airspace within a hundred miles was teeming with people, and the sound of air being torn apart was deafening. Countless cultivators surrounded the area, completely sealing off the area of rosy light.
The group from Wanfa Tiangong also stopped immediately, all looking towards the dazzling blue-white glow in the distance.
The two white-haired elders’ gazes suddenly turned fervent, and their breathing became slightly rapid.
Having studied ancient Taoist classics for hundreds of years, they immediately recognized the extraordinary nature of this radiant light.
This is no ordinary spiritual herb or primordial ore that can exude such aura. It is a treasure that has truly been refined over countless ages and carries the ancient traditions, and its value far exceeds that of any ordinary opportunity.
The elder in the green robe on the left had a solemn yet fervent gaze and immediately spoke up to request permission: “Young Miss, this opportunity has appeared once in a thousand years!”
These ancient treasures contain pure, primordial Daoist essence, perfectly suited to the cultivation foundation derived from the myriad Daos of myriad Dharmas Heavenly Palace!
“Although the various forces have surrounded us, they have not yet fully established their formations. This period of chaos presents the best opportunity for us to strike and seize our spoils!”
“Let’s all advance in formation! With my Myriad Principles of Balance, we can easily crush 90% of the forces present and seize the treasure first! This is an opportunity not to be missed, make a decision quickly!”
This elder had devoted his life to studying the divination of the Heavenly Dao and seeking opportunities. He was most persistent in his pursuit of ancient Dao treasures. Now that he saw the treasure appear in the world, he could no longer suppress the excitement in his heart.
