Chapter 199: Immortal Dao Flower Bud
An invisible fear enveloped the entire scene. Lying motionless on the ground were thousands of people. Even three Heavenly God powerhouses lay lifeless, blood overflowing from their mouths, their faces pale.
"These are the people who died at Shi Jian's hands... Did they suffer such heavy injuries in the real world as well?" a voice whispered.
"I've never seen him use the Soul Extinguishing Needle... Does he have a means to affect reality from within the Spirit Realm?" another person mused.
People's eyes were horrified as they glimpsed the truth. Shi Jian possessed a mysterious Divine Ability; after he killed someone in the Spirit Realm, it also affected them in reality.
"Oh my god, Old Ancestor, wake up..." The remaining people from several Ancient Sects continuously wailed in grief.
However, no one dared to jump out and target Shi Jian and Shi Hao. They were too scared, licking their wounds like defeated dogs. They would no longer face these two primeval great fiends.
Bystanders were even more shocked. They had never expected that these powerful Dao Lineages would also be scared to their core.
"Dong!" Another bell rang, and the great formation operated, blurring the entire training ground. Everyone was transported into the vast uninhabited area.
Not just Sin State, but the Three Thousand States resonated. Bells and drums rang in unison, startling the entire Upper Realm. Everyone began their journey.
One super teleportation array after another opened, sending the victors from each state to that ancient land. Over ten thousand people from Sin State appeared here, but their positions were scattered. Shi Hao and Shi Jian were not together.
This was a land with many legends. Even figures at the Sect Master level might perish upon entering. Only during this special period could people enter, because the Immortal Flower would bloom here, and at that time, auspicious signs would cover the place.
Shi Jian looked around with interest. Within a radius of dozens of miles, there were dozens of Venerables. As they sensed him, one by one, they fled in extreme fear. Who wouldn't be afraid of someone who had even killed a Heavenly God?
Shi Jian ignored them and looked up into the distance. A fusion fluctuation appeared in the Void Realm. Countless starlight bloomed, and large swaths of light rain fell. This was the Immortal Dao Flower Bud.
To enter Immortal Ancient, one had to wait for the Immortal Dao Flower Bud to bloom. At the fastest, it would take a few hours; at the slowest, three or four days. The Immortal Ancient Seal would then be opened.
During this time, there were also Opportunities. This uninhabited area was usually inaccessible, so many precious medicines and rare treasures grew here. There was even immortal substance, and obtaining a single drop would be enough to make those Ancient Sect Masters personally welcome someone.
One by one, the Venerables quickly dispersed, searching for Opportunities. "Dong!" The sound of a bell rang out again.
"Fifty million Venerables from the Three Thousand States have successfully passed the trials and entered the uninhabited area!" Another voice announced. This was the result of sifting through a vast number of people.
Shi Jian slowly walked into the boundless mountains and rivers, searching for Opportunities. This uninhabited area was very special; stepping on a puddle of yellow mud might even cost a Sect Master-level figure their life.
He traversed everywhere, digging up some Spirit Medicine and Saint Medicine, but he didn't find any Heaven-Defying treasures. Soon, a day passed, and some battles occurred, but they were not serious.
On the second day, the Venerables began to fight each other. From time to time, someone would use a Boundary-Breaking Talisman to escape from this place, giving up the chance to enter Immortal Ancient.
Shi Jian also killed some enemies he encountered and even faced a danger once. This danger did not come from people but from this world. A drop of seven-colored water suddenly fell from the sky, and Shi Jian was momentarily careless.
The water droplet landed on his arm, instantly piercing it. It then directly penetrated his body and fell toward the ground. Shi Jian used various methods to try and preserve it, but anything that touched it was pierced through.
Finally, he used the System's storage function to subdue this seven-colored water droplet. From it, one could see the uniqueness of the uninhabited area. It was conceivable that it was not an exaggeration for Sect Master-level figures to lose their lives by stepping on yellow mud.
Outside the uninhabited area, strong individuals also continued to arrive. Because the Immortal Dao Flower Bud was present, these higher-realm individuals could not delve deep into this place, nor could they enter Immortal Ancient.
But they could observe the situation within Immortal Ancient by means of the Flowers of the Three Thousand Great Dao. On the flower, one could write the name of the person they wanted to see, and then activate the petals with a secret method. It was equivalent to a kind of alternative live broadcast.
The outer area of the uninhabited zone was crowded with people. One carriage after another soared through the sky; these were the conveyances of important figures, spewing out Chaos Qi as they descended upon this place.
Heavenly Kingdom, Immortal Palace, Demonic Dragon Dao Sect, Undying Mountain—many forces had arrived here. The second day quickly passed, and someone obtained an immortal substance, causing a great stir.
On the third day, the tens of millions of Venerables in the uninhabited area became even more restless. "Dong!" The horizon was filled with radiant light, and purple Qi surged. This was a sign of the Immortal Dao Flower Bud blooming.
