Cultivating To Immortality
Chapter 370: Hostility
"Wang Ba? Wang Hu? I don’t know what you’re talking about." Fang Hong gently shook his head.
Seeing Fang Hong’s refusal to admit anything, Wang Ba’s anger flared even more.
But this was the summit of Xianqin Peak, surrounded by sect disciples, so it was not suitable to act in public.
Wang Ba took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in his heart, and threatened without concealment, "Don’t think that just because you don’t admit it, I don’t know the truth. You’d better not meet me in the Treasure Realm, otherwise."
After saying this, Wang Ba said nothing more, glared fiercely at Fang Hong, then turned and retreated to a position not far from Fang Hong.
Even standing there, he had no intention of letting Fang Hong go, occasionally glaring at him with hostile eyes.
His gaze seemed to want to devour Fang Hong alive. Facing Wang Ba’s provocation and hostility, Fang Hong completely ignored it.
Wang Ba was merely a Late Stage Golden Immortal, posing no threat to him at all.
If he really encountered this guy in the Treasure Realm, he could simply crush him, as easy as crushing an ant, and not worth worrying about.
As time passed, more and more disciples arrived at the summit of Xianqin Peak, and the once relatively spacious summit quickly became lively.
Just then, a whooshing sound suddenly came from the distant sky.
Everyone looked up and saw a young man in a blue robe flying through the air, quickly approaching the summit.
The blue-robed young man had a handsome face, sharp eyebrows, and bright eyes, a very dignified appearance, and exuded the powerful aura of a peak Golden Immortal.
His arrival instantly attracted the attention of all the disciples on the summit.
The surrounding disciples began to whisper, their eyes filled with awe as they looked at the blue-robed young man.
Fang Hong looked at the blue-robed young man, feeling a bit curious, wondering about his identity, to be able to command such respect from so many Inner Sect Disciples.
So, he turned his head and asked a disciple next to him, "Senior Brother, may I ask who that blue-robed Senior Brother is? Why is everyone so polite to him, and they all seem to revere him?"
The disciple was stunned for a moment when he heard Fang Hong’s question, then looked at Fang Hong with some surprise and said, "You don’t even know him? Have you just joined the sect?"
Before Fang Hong could answer, the disciple eagerly explained, his tone full of admiration, "That’s Senior Brother Ye Cheng, the famous Senior Brother in our sect."
"Senior Brother Ye Cheng is exceptionally talented, having condensed five law meridians, and his strength is formidable; among Inner Sect Disciples, he is truly the number one expert."
At this point, the disciple lowered his voice and added, "And, I also heard that Senior Brother Ye Cheng’s father is a Grand Elder in our sect, holding a high position of power within the sect."
Fang Hong suddenly understood after hearing this; no wonder everyone was so respectful to him, he indeed had a significant background.
This Ye Cheng had also cultivated five law meridians, no wonder his aura was so sharp, he must have some skill.
Fang Hong secretly kept Ye Cheng in mind, thinking that if he encountered him in the Treasure Realm, he would need to pay more attention.
Everyone waited another hour on the summit, during which disciples continued to arrive.
Suddenly, two powerful auras descended upon the summit without warning.
The auras were profound and majestic, causing all the disciples present to feel a strong pressure.
Immediately after, everyone saw a Gray-robed Old Man and an old woman in luxurious brocade robes appear out of thin air in the sky above the summit.
The auras of these two far surpassed all the disciples present; they were clearly powerful experts of the Grand Unity Golden Immortal realm, and should be the Elders leading the team to the Treasure Realm this time.
"Greetings, Elders." Seeing the two Elders appear, all the disciples present respectfully saluted the two Elders in mid-air.
The Gray-robed Old Man’s gaze swept over the disciples below, he nodded slightly, and said, "Most of the people have arrived, let’s go."
As his voice fell, the Gray-robed Old Man threw out a huge circular disk.
The disk began to spin rapidly in mid-air.
As the rotation speed increased, the space around the disk gradually twisted, eventually forming a spatial teleportation gate.
The two Elders flew into the teleportation gate first.
Immediately after, Ye Cheng, who was standing at the very front, transformed into an afterimage and was the first to follow, successfully entering the teleportation gate.
Seeing this, the rest of the disciples leaped up one by one and flew into the teleportation gate.
After a few breaths, all the disciples who had arrived successfully entered the teleportation gate.
The light of the spatial teleportation gate gradually dimmed, then slowly dissipated in mid-air, and the summit of Xianqin Peak returned to its usual tranquility.
Those disciples who couldn’t make it in time to participate in the training could only miss this opportunity.
Fang Hong followed the disciples through the teleportation gate, and in the blink of an eye, arrived at another unfamiliar summit.
All around were barren mountains, with no green vegetation on them; as far as the eye could see, there were exposed rocks and yellow earth everywhere, looking exceptionally desolate.
"Is this the activation point of the Treasure Realm?" Fang Hong thought to himself.
"Everyone, the Treasure Realm will only be open for a short seven days. In these seven days, what kind of opportunity you can find will depend entirely on your individual luck."
The Gray-robed Elder explained some things about the Treasure Realm.
The Treasure Realm’s opening would last for a full seven days, and once disciples entered the Treasure Realm, they would be randomly teleported to a certain location by the powerful spatial force within.
However, if one prepared special guiding Immortal Arts in advance, or held specialized Immortal Talismans, they could counteract this random teleportation spatial force.
The Gray-robed Elder looked at the disciples present and advised, "I suggest you all train in groups; one more person means one more person to watch out for, which will make it safer in the Treasure Realm."
The reason the Gray-robed Elder mentioned luck was because the Treasure Realm’s opening time was too short, and coupled with the vast geographical area of the Treasure Realm, the teleportation location was different each time, so no one could predict it in advance.
Over the years, even Immortal King experts who personally entered were unable to fully explore the entire Treasure Realm.
Therefore, what kind of opportunity one would encounter after entering depended entirely on personal luck.
Good luck meant being teleported to a treasure land and acquiring treasures; bad luck meant being teleported to a dangerous place, getting nothing, and even encountering danger.
The Gray-robed Elder also reminded that there were not only opportunities but also many dangers within the Treasure Realm.
The danger of the Treasure Realm mainly lay in its unpredictability; it contained not only various fierce exotic beasts but also various unknown natural disasters.
It could be a sudden eruption of magma torrents, or an unannounced spatial turbulence, and a slight carelessness could lead to death.
Therefore, the Gray-robed Elder sternly reminded the disciples, "After you enter the Treasure Realm, you must try to act discreetly and cautiously, and absolutely not be overly ostentatious."
"If you cause unnecessary trouble in the Treasure Realm due to a moment of complacency, you are very likely to encounter fatal danger, and by then, it will be too late for regrets."
