Chapter 814: The 814th No-Man’s Land

Not only Sin State, but all Three Thousand States vibrated in unison, with bells and drums ringing together, shaking the higher realms, signaling that everyone had begun their journey!

One after another, Super Teleportation Arrays activated, taking the victorious individuals from various states to that ancient land.

“Detestable, he must be watched as he gets slain!” In Sin State, people from Fire Cloud Cave and Demon Dragon Dao Gate growled lowly, unable to accept this outcome.

“Let’s go, we’ll observe the outcome outside that ancient land,” someone said.

Of course, not everyone would go, as the journey was too long, and once there, one could only wait–who knew how many years the great battle would last.

Babbling streams and tender greenery; it was a peaceful and beautiful world.

10,000 people from Sin State appeared, not clustering together but spreading out within these boundless mountains and rivers, occasionally still seeing each other.

They looked all around, filled with curiosity. Was this the vast No-Man’s Land? They had actually entered!

It’s known that such secret lands held many legends; even a Sect Hierarch might perish upon entering, making it the most mysterious and perilous place.

The Dean of Creation Academy, how defiant against the heavens he was, known as the Unrivalled Elder matching the Six Great Celestials in his time, yet he met his end deep within the No-Man’s Land.

Perhaps, it was only during this special period that one could enter, as the Immortal Flower had emerged, set to bloom in this area, covered with auspicious omens.

The scent of soil and the freshness of vegetation rushed towards the face. Shi Hao took a deep breath; having arrived here after a great battle, he completely relaxed.

Within several miles nearby, there were about two dozen Venerables who sensed him, each of them horrified, hastily retreating to distance themselves from this location.

Everyone was filled with awe towards him, a man who dared to slay even Celestial Gods, who wouldn’t be afraid?!

“Am I really that frightening?” Shi Hao grinned, revealing his white, dazzling teeth, but the twenty Venerables felt their scalps go numb with fear.

One of the women couldn’t help but scream out, “Don’t… kill me!”

“Really uninteresting, I actually wanted to travel together with you all,” Shi Hao shook his head, ignoring them henceforth.

Hearing this, the expressions of those people shifted dramatically, filled with regret; traveling with such a young demon king, what would they have to fear? Unless they encountered freakish beings from ancient times, they could mostly walk around unhindered!

“Hm?”

Suddenly, Shi Hao rapidly lifted his head, sensing something unusual, looking forward.

A gentle fluctuation appeared in the void, peaceful and sacred, making one feel as if bathed in spring breeze, warming the body and relieving all fatigue.

In the far horizon, streaks of Immortal Light appeared, bright as dawn, pure as the silver moon, with a vast shower of light rain making that place appear supremely sacred.

“They have appeared, the Immortal Dao Flower Buds!” a Venerable exclaimed, incredibly excited, trembling all over.

To enter Immortal Ancient, one must wait until the Immortal Dao Flower Bud appears; only when it blooms can that heavenly passage gate be opened, unlocking the sealed road into Immortal Ancient.

It has appeared, when will it bloom?

In this area, all 10,000 Venerables from Sin State were expectant, but based on their understanding, there was also a bout of fortune now.

Indeed, for most people, it might be the only opportunity they’d get, as not everyone here could enter Immortal Ancient.

However, this was No-Man’s Land, vast and limitless, normally inaccessible from the outside world, teeming with numerous precious medicines and rare treasures.

Moreover, it was rumored that immortal substances existed here, a single drop of which, if obtained, could compel even those ancient Sect Hierarchs to personally welcome one.

Thus, one could say that this was an opportunity.

Based on historical experience, the Immortal Dao Flower Bud would bloom within a few hours at the fastest, and at most not exceeding three days, then the seal of Immortal Ancient could be opened.

“Take advantage now, quickly seek opportunities!” In this region, tens of thousands of Venerables dispersed, rapidly traversing through the mountains and forests, seeking their own fortunes.

Shi Hao was not in a hurry, walking forward at an unhurried pace, keeping his gaze always towards the horizon.

“Boom!”

In this world, a drum sound rang out, dull, massive, and vast, resonating like a world unto itself, the splendor at the horizon grew even more intense.

Simultaneously, a grand voice echoed, clearly heard by every Venerable.

“This time, among the Three Thousand States of the higher realms, a total of fifty million Venerables have successfully passed and entered this No-Man’s Land.”

This was an announcement from a group of Sect Hierarchs from the higher realms, the most top-tier characters. Whilst they dared not approach the front where the Immortal Dao Flower Bud was, they were allowed to come within a certain distance.

At this moment, they disclosed some information, notifying all Venerables deep within this No-Man’s Land.

Upon hearing this message, Shi Hao immediately felt overwhelmed; fifty million Venerables… that was twenty million more than he had imagined!

He thought each state allowed ten thousand people, it seems some larger states allowed more people to pass.

“According to the situations in previous generations, every time, several millions of Venerables ultimately enter Immortal Ancient. When the Immortal Flowers bloom, please be sure to seize the opportunity,”

Shi Hao listened attentively. Although he had learned a lot about the situation, he was not from a major school, so his knowledge of secrets was not comparable to others.

“Believe that your schools have prepared Domain Breaking Talismans for you all, once you fail to enter, or encounter danger, you can immediately break through and return. Be aware, only when the Immortal Dao Flower Bud appears will this No-Man’s Land be free from accidents. Otherwise, if on ordinary days, it might be impossible to use those talismans.”

Shi Hao’s heart trembled, he truly didn’t know any of this, because Qi Daolin, the hands-off manager, had never told him about it.

“You are now divided into three thousand areas, each vast and boundless, with cultivators from one state in each area. There are barrier walls between different areas, it is hoped that they will not be broken through to avoid conflicts, and everyone proceeds into Immortal Ancient orderly within their own regions.”

As soon as this statement was made, the Venerables scattered through the boundless mountains and rivers could no longer remain calm, as it hinted at potential dangers.

They clearly knew that throughout the generations, extraordinary individuals have penetrated the barrier walls between regions, crossing domains to wage war, seeking immortal materials, and performing slaughters.

Shi Hao moved forward calmly; he had nothing to fear, just waiting to enter Immortal Ancient.

“Although the Immortal Dao flower buds have appeared and auspiciousness envelops these mountains and rivers, preventing too vicious and aggressively evil beings from emerging, one still needs to be cautious.”

This was a warning from a higher realm Sect Hierarch; this place is not truly peaceful and can be dangerous.

No-Man’s Land is very peculiar; no one can clearly state what’s all there, perhaps stepping on a puddle of Yellow Mud could cost a Sect Hierarch his life, or getting hit by a single multicolored water droplet could make a top fighter perish.

Because, all these incidents have happened before!

Now tranquility pervades, and bizarre incidents generally should not occur, but vigilance is still needed.

The first day was peaceful; nothing happened.

Despite the presence of fifty million Venerables, scattered throughout this vast landscape, they hardly counted for much, there was enough buffer space between them.

On the second day, endless powerhouses arrived on the outer periphery of this area, all venerable figures from various higher realms, all wanting to see the reality for themselves.

They didn’t dare venture too deep since the Immortal Dao flower bud had a strong repulsion against them, only those not surpassing the Venerable Realm could approach.

“The Immortal Dao flower bud, since this epoch began, has bloomed two thousand nine hundred ninety-nine times, each time consuming one of the Great Dao, and now only the last, most perfect time remains, which will bloom three thousand petals.”

“These petals aren’t ordinary objects; they can reflect the secrets within Immortal Ancient.”

This was one of the reasons people gathered here; they couldn’t enter, but they could use the three thousand Great Dao petals to observe some of the conditions inside Immortal Ancient.

Of course, activating any single petal required immense energy from a Sect Hierarch!

Because they couldn’t get close, they needed to perform long-distance spells across an infinite void, a task of unimaginable difficulty.

In fact, at such times, giants from various schools would arrive, and the powerhouses from various states would join forces, with each state able to control only one petal to delve into secrets.

By noon on the second day, the outer region was already crowded.

One after another, chariots appeared across the sky, spewing auspicious clouds, all belonging to great personages, some even accompanied by chaotic mist, making Celestials fear and quickly dodge.

“That is… a Heavenly Kingdom’s war chariot, unimaginable that the Sect Hierarch himself came!” someone exclaimed.

A scarlet war chariot, with an aura of slaughter as boundless as heaven, as if drenched in the blood of countless creatures, harbored endless evil auras, almost as if one could hear the wails of infinite beings.

The crowd was horrified, the master of the Killing Realm was the most mysterious, having been seen by very few over the eons, and today his war chariot actually appeared!

Immortal Ancient perished, and this epoch was also nearing its end, some forbidden beings sensed something, this might be their final opportunity, hence they personally appeared.

A Bronze Hall was being pulled by nine Jiao Dragons, rumbling over, releasing chaotic mist.

This scene stunned many people!

People of the Immortal Hall came, and it was that ancient being from Primordial Ancients who had been hibernating who personally attended, the Bronze Hall was his resting place!

Could it be that he had awakened? This sent shivers down everyone’s spine!

“He shouldn’t be awake yet, he just came here waiting for an opportunity, when someone will awaken him,” some giants speculated.

Subsequently, the Heaven Mending Sect, Western Sect, and other top doctrinal lineages appeared.

The imperial family of this era also descended, causing an earthquake.

Sin State, Fire Province, Heavenly Province, Mo Province, multitudes from various regions gathered.

From the direction of the Five Elements State, the Immortal Heavenly Venerate personally attended, accompanied by a group of people.

“infant has gone in, I wonder what will happen.” Shi Hao’s mother, Qin Yining, was also there, her face full of worry and also a touch of regret, she whispered softly: “The other infant, alas!”

Next to her, Shi Ziling was there as well, specially returned from the bitterly cold area where he was cultivating, to see off Qin Hao, to watch Qin Hao enter Immortal Ancient to contend with the world’s geniuses and vie for fortunes.

“The Dual-Bone Supreme will surely be invincible because the ancestor used the treasured immortal liquid, which he had been storing on him, leaving both bones flawless!” Some people from the Qin Clan discussed it, with immense confidence.

Time quickly passed, on the third day, the Venerables numbering in the tens of millions within the No-Man’s Land were already restless, some couldn’t wait any longer.

Because, the opening would definitely start within three days, and clearly the time was about to come.

In the meantime, someone gained great fortunes, discovering immortal materials, which stirred up huge waves, suffered pursuit from many Venerables, and ultimately had no choice but to use a Domain Breaking Talisman to escape.

“Boom!”

In the sky, colorful clouds spewed forth, Immortal Light soared, the area became more Sacred and tranquil.

People knew, the Immortal Dao flower bud was about to bloom! (To be continued. If you enjoy this work, we invite you to vote and recommend tickets at wuxiaworld.site, your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users please visit m.wuxiaworld.site to read.)
