The burly man from Tongtian Academy was so stunned by Sikong Xiu's rapid-fire words that his face turned red, and his originally murderous aura weakened somewhat. He was speechless, his chest heaving violently.
"Hmph, what a twisted logic," the woman in light blue robes leading the group at Luo Yan Academy said, her eyes darting around. She subtly shifted her body, seemingly unintentionally exposing herself to the gaze of the surrounding rogue cultivators. She took a step forward, her voice clear and crisp:
"Could it be that this precious ice cave is only for your Illusion Dream Sect to covet? There are so many people around, all talented individuals from different academies. Everyone is here to participate in this academy competition to enhance the prestige of their own academy and, secondly, to seek opportunities for themselves. Your Illusion Dream Sect's actions this time are a bit too ambitious!"
After speaking, she subtly glanced around, her gaze lingering briefly on the faces of several disciples from the academy who had reached the Spirit Tribulation stage, her meaning all too clear.
The moment the woman in light blue finished speaking, the expressions on the faces of the Spirit Tribulation Realm individuals who had been watching her all changed.
One of the men, dressed in a blue robe with sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes, frowned slightly, a thoughtful look flashing in his eyes. He unconsciously moved forward a little, as if agreeing with what the woman in light blue from Luo Yan Academy had just said.
Another tall, stern-faced woman crossed her arms and snorted coldly, her eyes revealing her dissatisfaction with the Illusionary Dream Sect. She was clearly moved by the woman's words.
The burly man from Tongtian Academy, though still red-faced with rage, slapped his thigh and roared upon hearing this:
"That's right! With so many of us, are we afraid of the Illusionary Dream Sect?"
As he spoke, he circulated his spiritual energy again, and his aura rose once more, as if he were ready to fight the Illusionary Dream Sect to the death.
The situation suddenly became tense, with a sense of impending storm.
"The Illusionary Dream Gate? One of the Nine Heavenly Gates that was one of the three major gates alongside our Spirit Abyss Gate in the previous competition?"
On a snow-capped mountain not far away, Qin Luo stood with his hands behind his back, looking down at the conflict below with great interest.
However, his gaze was mostly focused on the entrance to the ice cave, his eyes revealing a meaningful and strange light.
Amidst the verbal sparring below, he had attempted to extend his divine sense into the ice cave several times, but his senses seemed to be stuck in a quagmire, offering no response.
This piqued Qin Luo's interest. Since this shattered continent had been chosen as the selection ground by various academies, it must have undergone detailed surveying beforehand. With his current perception far exceeding that of ordinary people, let alone ordinary cultivators of the same realm, even ordinary saints would find it difficult to reach. Logically speaking, there shouldn't be any areas he couldn't perceive.
Just as Qin Luo was engrossed in repeated attempts, Murong Liyue beside him showed a slightly strange expression. Her delicate brows furrowed, and after hesitating for a while, she quietly took a step forward and then took out the jade talisman that Qin Luo had given her earlier:
"Qin Luo, this jade talisman seems a bit strange..."
Upon hearing this, Qin Luo's eyes flashed with surprise, and he turned to look at the jade talisman held between Murong Liyue's slender white fingers.
The jade talisman, which was originally warm and smooth, now had a faint glow on its surface. As Murong Liyue turned her wrist and pointed the jade talisman at the ice cave, the glow became more and more dazzling, and the temperature of the jade talisman itself continued to rise, even becoming hot.
"Um?"
Looking at the jade talisman in front of him, Qin Luo felt a little surprised.
Having previously learned from the system's feedback that the jade talisman contained a severely incomplete section of the Three Lives Creation Array, could the talisman's unusual reaction to the ice cave mean that an opportunity related to the Three Lives Creation Array was hidden within it?
Although he obtained the complete Three Lives Creation Array through the system's return, the array was still far beyond his current level. After all, with his current strength, setting up the complete Three Lives Creation Array was nothing short of a pipe dream.
But if this ice cave is really related to this formation, then that's incredible. After all, the Three Lives Creation Formation is a Grandmaster-level spiritual formation, comparable to a powerful being in the Heavenly Origin Realm.
Even a chance encounter left behind by chance can make Qin Luo and his companions incredibly wealthy.
Thinking of this, Qin Luo made a decision. After Murong Liyue put away the jade talisman, he moved and flew downwards. Su Yaoyue and the other two women followed without saying a word.
Their figures swept across the snow-capped mountains, creating a whistling sound that drew the attention of everyone below.
Upon seeing the token bearing the words "Lingyuan" hanging from his waist, Lingyuan Sikong Xiu inwardly cursed his bad luck. His eyes quickly swept over Qin Luo and his group, and he secretly pondered what was going on.
She could tell at a glance that the strength of this year's Lingyuan Sect team varied greatly, with one even being a late-stage Soul Separation Realm cultivator. In her eyes, such cultivation was a burden.
However, Qin Luo, the leader, made her extremely uncomfortable, an invisible pressure bearing down on her. Even the soul contract deep within her dantian began to tremble uneasily, continuously issuing warnings, reminding her that the person before her was an extremely dangerous being!
After calming the soul contract in her dantian, Sikong Xiu felt conflicted and began to devise a plan.
The reason she had previously remained inactive and unwilling to start a fight here was simply because she was worried about losing too much strength and affecting the future plans of the Illusionary Dream Sect.
She originally planned to first provoke a conflict between Tongtian Academy and Luoyan Academy, then suppress them forcefully with swift and decisive measures, thereby expanding the reputation of Huanmeng Sect in this region.
However, Qin Luo and his group's sudden intrusion completely disrupted her plans, but the opportunities hidden in this ice cave were clearly extraordinary, and she did not want to give up.
