"Let's get through it."
Some people expressed their opinions, and others also expressed their support, but only one or two people remained silent.
Those present could be considered the most powerful cultivators on the Divine Radiance Continent. Even though the owner of the ruins was no ordinary person, they were confident that their large numbers could handle the situation.
But just as all the important figures agreed and were about to take action, a flock of cranes suddenly flew over from the opposite mountain and slowly hovered in front of them.
These cranes have smooth, brightly colored feathers, as if they have incorporated the most beautiful colors in the world into their feathers, making them incomparably beautiful.
"The Venerable One invites everyone, but each sect can only send one person." The crane at the head of the group spoke up, surprising everyone slightly.
Although there are high-level demonic beasts capable of speaking human language on the Divine Radiance Continent, as human power has grown stronger over the years, the living environment of demonic beasts has been squeezed out. Nowadays, there are not many high-level demonic beasts that can speak human language. If there are, they are only demon kings and will not appear here.
But the crane in front of us could actually talk, which was quite surprising.
"Your Excellency?"
Gu Changsheng, however, noticed the word "venerable one" in the crane's words.
The crane explained happily, "The Venerable One is the master of this immortal land, and you are visiting guests. The Venerable One welcomes you, but there are too many of you, so only one sect leader can go up at a time."
The master of the immortal land?
Everyone looked at each other, their minds racing, wondering if the crane's words were true, and if there really was a Venerable One on the mountain.
What if this is a trap?
If this is just to lure them all up and then catch them all in one fell swoop, wouldn't that be a huge scam?
But is it really possible for someone to attack all of these top experts on the continent at the same time?
There's a mix of truth and falsehood here, people are half-believing and half-doubting, and everyone has their own considerations.
“Alright, since it’s an invitation from the Venerable One, we can’t refuse such a kind invitation, so let’s go up.” Gu Changsheng was the first to speak, and the others nodded in agreement.
It's now clear that all their actions are likely being observed by the other side, and the forced breaking of the barrier is no longer visible.
Moreover, they originally wanted to go to the opposite mountain to investigate, and now that the so-called Venerable One has invited them, why not accept the invitation and go up?
Seeing that they all agreed, the cranes in the sky flew down and landed in front of the sect leaders of various forces. There were exactly seven cranes, which could only carry seven people.
Gu Changsheng was the first to climb onto the crane's back, and the others followed suit, being carried by the crane up the mountain, leaving only the disciples of various sects behind.
...
"Brother Bai, the sect leader and the others have gone up, what are we going to do?" After watching the crane take Su Yuewan and the others over, Fan Ziming secretly nudged Bai Hao's shoulder and asked.
"What else can we do but wait here?" Bai Hao found a good spot to sit down, not caring whether he would lose face in front of so many people.
The boss went to a meeting, so the underlings could only wait here.
Seeing Bai Hao sit down directly, Fan Ziming thought for a moment and then followed suit. The two of them quickly became a unique sight.
People around them saw the two of them sitting on the ground without any regard for their image, and they all pointed and whispered among themselves.
"So those two are disciples of the Falling Sea Sect? They don't look like much at all; they're even sitting on the ground like country bumpkins..."
"Everyone says that the Falling Sea Sect has risen to prominence, but in my opinion, it's just that their sect leader has achieved enlightenment and all his relatives and friends have benefited from it."
"Exactly, I think they're just so-so."
...
The people around them who were talking were mostly disciples from sects that didn't usually interact with the Luo Hai Sect, and some even harbored some hostility towards it, such as Leng Yue Palace and Yao Yue Sect.
Bai Hao paid no attention to these discussions, treating them as mere amusement. At the same time, he and Fan Ziming were also observing the disciples of the surrounding sects.
Of the seven major forces present, apart from the Inviting Moon Sect, the Great Cang Kingdom, and themselves, the remaining forces were not from the Southern Region and had not had much contact with each other before.
Among these sects, the most eye-catching was naturally the Cold Moon Palace—a group of female disciples, each one beautiful and charming with an extraordinary air. Although their whispered discussions were rather uncomfortable, it did not diminish Bai Hao's appreciation for them.
Next is the State of Chu.
The Chu Kingdom is located in the Northern Region, similar to the Da Cang Kingdom. Both are empires responsible for protecting the common people in their respective regions. Overall, the Chu Kingdom is slightly weaker than the Da Cang Kingdom, but it still enjoys a good reputation on the continent. Its emperor, the Chu Emperor, is a peak expert in the Zhi Xing Realm.
There is also the Demon Suppression Sect.
The Demon Suppression Sect is the only first-rate power in the desolate Western Regions.
The Demon Suppression Sect has a long history. Legend has it that long ago, demons roamed the Western Regions, and the Demon Suppression Sect was born to suppress them. The two sides fought for thousands of years, and the battle ended with the destruction of the demons. The Demon Suppression Sect has been guarding the Western Regions ever since.
As a result, the Demon Suppression Sect firmly established itself as the number one sect in the Western Regions.
The Demon Suppression Sect primarily cultivates spear techniques. Its first sect leader created the "Nine Heavens Coiling Dragon Spear," which was renowned throughout the continent and was once avoided by all other sects. At its peak, no one could rival it.
However, like Lengyue Palace, the Zhenmo Sect later weakened considerably because no one could inherit the complete Nine Heavens Coiling Dragon Spear.
Even so, the Demon Suppression Sect is still the number one sect in the Western Regions, and no one can shake its position!
The remaining sect is Danzong.
Bai Hao knew quite a bit about the Pill Sect, but much of it was hearsay; he had never personally come into contact with them. It was only this time that he truly had close contact with the people of the Pill Sect.
Unlike other forces, the Dan Sect is not the strongest in terms of combat power. In fact, it can be said to be the weakest sect among all the first-class forces. However, due to its unfathomable alchemy skills and various miraculous pills, the Dan Sect can still firmly hold the throne of "number one sect" even though it has no special techniques or secret skills.
Imagine two people are locked in a fierce battle, and the other is a disciple of the Dan Sect. They are evenly matched and are exhausted in the end. Then the other person takes out a pill, eats it, and is fully restored. It's like one against two. How can they fight like that?
Even if your cultivation level is higher than mine, you can defeat one me, but can you defeat a second or a third me?
This is where the Dan Sect cheated!
Bai Hao was familiar with the remaining sects. He was still cooperating with the Great Cang Kingdom. As for the Inviting Moon Sect, Bai Yuanhong had personally led a group to the Falling Sea Sect and even had a swordsmanship contest with Su Yuewan. Bai Hao still had a deep impression of them.
