Seeing that the three ancestors of the Human Sect, the Jade Void Sect, and the Intercepting Heaven Sect had arrived, the ancestor of the Qilin Clan could no longer suppress his anxiety and spoke first, "We are all here, so why is there still no sign of that peerless treasure?"
"I can't even sense a trace of your presence. What on earth are you old guys up to?"
Just then, the ancestor of the Human Sect suddenly spoke up: "Fellow Daoists, please don't be in a hurry. We have something else to tell you."
After hearing your answers, we will decide whether to tell you the location of that peerless artifact.
Upon hearing this, the ancestor of the Purgatory Sect immediately turned angry and shouted, "Do you still want to hear our answer? Are you three deliberately making fun of us all?"
However, when faced with the questioning of the ancestor of the Purgatory Sect, the ancestor of the Human Sect remained very calm. He calmly replied, "If you think we are playing tricks on you with the opportunity to become an immortal."
"Then you are all free to return to your sects on your own. We will absolutely not force you to."
"What? A chance to become an immortal?"
This statement was like a bombshell, instantly causing a huge uproar among everyone.
Whether they were demonic cultivators, demon race members, or ancestors from other sects, they all immediately widened their eyes, staring at the ancestors of the Human Sect with disbelief on their faces.
Even the two ancestors of Buddhism, who had been keeping their eyes tightly closed, suddenly opened them and stared straight at the ancestors of the Human Sect.
Immediately afterwards, the ancestor of the Human Cult spoke again, unhurriedly: "This thing was discovered by chance by the three of us countless years ago."
"Finally, after a long period of research by the three of us, we finally found a record of this item in the extremely ancient books of our religion."
"This mysterious object is called the Enlightenment Purple Lotus, and when it is fully mature, it will emit a magical light called the Enlightenment Light."
"However, the appearance of this light of enlightenment is extremely brief and fleeting."
"However, if one can probe into the light of enlightenment the moment it shines, one will instantly comprehend the truth of the Great Dao, thereby greatly enhancing one's cultivation and even achieving the realm of immortals."
"For the few of us, this may be a rare opportunity."
"However, the growth rate of this Enlightenment Purple Lotus is extremely slow. Even though the three of us used all our great magic power to irrigate it, after hundreds of years, its maturity has only reached 80%."
"Although we are now at the quasi-immortal level, our lifespan is ultimately limited."
Just then, the patriarch of the Human Cult paused and then continued, "So, have you all decided to use your own magical power to help this Enlightenment Purple Lotus mature, and then explore the Great Dao together?"
After the words of the founder of the People's Church were spoken, the whole scene suddenly became unusually quiet, as if time had frozen at that moment.
No one spoke, and the entire room fell into a brief silence.
Then the ancestor of the Heavenly Demon Sect broke the silence, his voice ringing out loudly in the stillness: "Since that's the case, what are we waiting for? Even if there's only a sliver of a chance to become an immortal, we will absolutely not let it go!"
Upon hearing this, everyone present erupted into a frenzy, chattering amongst themselves.
"Yes, we absolutely cannot miss such a rare opportunity!"
"Although our cultivation level may not be high enough, as long as we can comprehend the Great Dao, our cultivation level will naturally advance by leaps and bounds!"
"This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, we must seize it!"
...
Just as everyone was excitedly discussing among themselves, Yuan Zhexian suddenly frowned, looking somewhat worried.
The more he listened to what the ancestors of the Renjiao sect said, the more he felt that something seemed amiss.
This so-called peerless treasure is clearly the Primordial Purple Lotus, so why did the ancestors of the Human Sect say that it is the Enlightenment Purple Lotus?
Moreover, according to the mysterious old man, this purple lotus is a spiritual entity that has merged with the body of the Great Dao, but he did not mention that it has any ability to comprehend the Dao.
"Something's wrong!"
Yuan Zhexian pondered to himself, a sense of foreboding welling up in his heart.
Immediately afterward, he turned to Sheng Qingzhou beside him without hesitation and said, "Qingzhou, I feel something is wrong. You must get away from this area immediately. Do not come back without my telepathic message!"
Sheng Qingzhou was filled with doubts. He was about to open his mouth to ask some questions when he was suddenly interrupted by Yuan Zhexian.
Yuan Zhexian said anxiously, "Don't ask too many questions, hurry! Get out of here immediately, otherwise you won't be able to leave even if you want to!"
Seeing this, Sheng Qingzhou, though still filled with many questions, did not hesitate at all. He swiftly tore through space, disappearing from the area in the blink of an eye.
However, those around them couldn't help but smile sarcastically when they saw Sheng Qingzhou leave so decisively.
They all mocked Sheng Qingzhou, thinking he was an idiot for giving up such a rare opportunity.
Just then, the ancestor of the Human Cult spoke again: "Alright! Since everyone agrees, let the three of us open the isolation barrier right now."
Before the words were finished, the figures of the three ancestors—the founders of the Human Sect, the Jade Void Sect, and the Intercepting Heaven Sect—flashed away like lightning and vanished from their original spots in an instant.
The next moment, when they reappeared, they were standing steadily in a triangular formation.
Immediately afterwards, the three began to form hand seals, their movements as natural and fluid as flowing water. As their hand gestures changed, one mysterious and ancient hand seal after another was formed.
