Chapter 257: A Promising Seedling
When the Golden Hall Gate flung open, dazzling golden light surged out like a tide.
An ancient and majestic aura rushed onto their faces, making everyone present's hair stand on end.
The Cultivators gathered on the open ground widened their eyes, staring fixedly at the open Golden Hall Gate.
This is indeed Wu Zun's relic!
Inside may very well conceal Wu Zun's inheritance!
Of course, Inside may also hide deadly Danger.
Therefore, although everyone was itching to move, not a single person dared to be the first to step into the Golden Hall.
Everyone looked at each other, and a strange silence spread through the Crowd.
"Hmph! A bunch of cowardly rats!"
At that moment, a chilling Cold Smile broke the silence.
Tian Can Daoist stepped forward, standing in front of the Crowd.
Greedy, mad light flickered in his eyes, staring fixedly at the Golden Hall Gate, as if he had already seen the endless opportunities Inside.
"We Cultivators, Defy Heaven, seeking breakthrough, why fear death?"
Tian Can Daoist's voice was booming, echoing throughout the open ground.
"This Golden Hall must be the tomb of Wu Zun Fallen! Inside must conceal Wu Zun's lifelong teachings! If one dares not enter out of fear of Danger, isn't that like entering a Treasure Mountain empty‑handed and returning?"
"Even if it means death, I, Tian Can, will still catch a glimpse of Wu Zun True Countenance, fighting for that sliver of breakthrough opportunity!"
As the words fell, Tian Can Daoist no longer hesitated; his internal true Qi surged to the limit in an instant.
His figure, like an arrow released from a bow, raced toward the Golden Hall Gate.
In almost an instant he surged to the Golden Hall Gate Entrance, then stepped in without hesitation.
But the moment he entered the Golden Hall, he was devoured by the Golden Light Inside, vanishing in an instant as if he had never appeared.
Seeing Tian Can Daoist truly go in, the remaining Cultivators could no longer restrain their greed and impulse.
"Tian Can Daoist is right! Wealth and honor are sought amid Danger! We must not miss this opportunity!"
"Go! Let's go in and see! Even if there is Danger, as long as we can obtain Wu Zun Inheritance, everything is worth it!"
"Charge! If we're late, everything's gone!"
A stir erupted in the Crowd, and the remaining people rushed toward the Golden Hall Gate.
Fearing to fall a step behind and have the opportunity snatched by others.
Miao Linfeng watched the swarming Crowd, then walked up to Jiang Feng and clasped fists with him.
"Mr. Jiang, the Golden Hall is now open, but Inside the situation is unknown; how about we go in together? Rest assured, if we encounter an opportunity along the way, I, Miao Linfeng, am willing to give my all to help!"
Hearing this, Lin Qinghan nodded.
"Jiang Feng, why not join Miao Elder together! I and Miao Elder have been old acquaintances; she truly is a good senior, an extra person means extra support."
Jiang Feng glanced at Miao Linfeng, and from her gaze he could see a few shades of sincerity.
He also knew that Miao Linfeng sincerely wanted to make up for the past relationship, and her strength was not weak.
Teaming up with her would indeed add an extra aid.
At that moment, two sharp sword lights suddenly fell from the sky, landing steadily at the Golden Hall Gate Entrance.
The arrivals were Liu Tianzhou of the Lingnan Sword Sect and his Junior Brother!
Liu Tianzhou wore a blue sword robe, bore a long sword, his expression was stern.
The moment he landed, his gaze swept over Jiang Feng.
He, without a flicker of emotion, nodded at Jiang Feng, as a greeting.
Jiang Feng felt a stir in his heart and gave Liu Tianzhou a slight bow.
He knew that now was not the time to recognize Liu Tianzhou.
Liu Tianzhou and his Junior Brother exchanged a glance, said no needless words, their forms shifted, and they walked toward the Golden Hall Gate; soon their silhouettes vanished into the Golden Light.
Seeing Liu Tianzhou go in, Jiang Feng no longer hesitated.
"Since Miao Elder graciously invited us, we shall thank Miao Elder and go together. However, to speak plainly, the Inside opportunity still belongs to each individual; the worthy obtain it, agreed?"
He didn't want to owe Miao Linfeng too many favors, so he clarified the matter in advance.
Miao Linfeng, hearing this, quickly nodded repeatedly.
"Mr. Jiang is right!"
Lin Qinghan, seeing this, also showed a happy smile on his face.
"Great! Then let's hurry inside, lest the good things Inside be snatched away by others!"
Finishing her words, she was the first to walk toward the Golden Hall Gate.
Jiang Feng and Miao Linfeng followed closely, and the three's silhouettes quickly entered the Golden Hall, where they were devoured by the Golden Light Inside and vanished.
But not long after Jiang Feng and the others entered the Golden Hall, a disheveled figure limped onto the open ground.
It was Long Bad Dao!
His clothes were tattered, hair disheveled, his face still stained with dirt, looking utterly disheveled.
He limped to the Golden Hall Gate Entrance, rubbing his leg while cursing.
"Damn it! What kind of crappy place is this? Even a casually appearing monster is that hard to deal with! If I weren't practicing the Dragon Elephant Technique, with its thick skin and flesh, I'd probably have been torn apart by that monster!"
"Jiang Feng that guy hasn't been seen either? He's been in there so long, not even a shadow, could he have run into some Danger?"
Long Bad Dao muttered, but at that moment, he saw the Golden Hall before him.
"WTF, what place is this?"
He looked up at the open Golden Hall Gate.
"Could this be Wu Zun's relic? Looks quite impressive! Since the gate is open, I'll go in and see, maybe..."
Long Bad Dao was never very scheming nor did he think much; he only felt that Inside such a magnificent Golden Hall, there must be something good hidden.
He limped, swaying as he walked toward the Golden Hall Gate, stepped in without hesitation, and his figure vanished Inside in an instant.
At this moment, Jiang Feng and the other two had already entered the Golden Hall.
What met their eyes was a Great Hall empty to the extreme.
The Great Hall's height was dozens of zhang; looking up, one could not see the top at all, giving an incomparable sense of grandeur and magnificence.
Strangely, just now many people had clearly entered, yet Inside the Great Hall it was empty, only the three of them.
The Tian Can Daoist, Liu Tianzhou and others who had entered the Great Hall a step earlier were now nowhere to be seen, as if they had vanished into thin air.
"What's happening? Where are those people?"
Lin Qinghan widened his eyes and looked around.
"They clearly entered before us, how could they disappear?"
Miao Linfeng also furrowed his brows, his eyes scanning the surroundings warily, circulating true Qi, carefully sensing the movements around.
"This Great Hall is not simple; Inside there may be something like a Space Array that separates us from the others. Everyone be careful, don't wander recklessly, lest you encounter Danger."
Jiang Feng said nothing, but at this moment he was also observing the Great Hall.
He could feel that the Great Hall contained an extremely ancient energy, an energy that was Nowhere, enveloping the Great Hall Throughout.
Moreover, he vaguely sensed that the space of this Great Hall seemed somewhat strange.
At that moment, a dazzling Golden Light Suddenly erupted from the exact center of the Great Hall, stinging people's eyes so they could not open them.
Jiang Feng and the other two subconsciously closed their eyes, adapting for a while.
When they opened their eyes again, they suddenly saw a golden phantom appear before them.
It was a man's phantom, Nine chi tall, wearing a golden battle armor.
His gaze was sharp as an eagle, exuding an aura that looked down on the world.
The man's phantom slowly lifted its head, its sharp eyes scanning Jiang Feng and the other two.
His gaze lingered on Miao Linfeng and Lin Qinghan for a moment, without a Silk pause, finally settling on Jiang Feng.
Immediately, a majestic voice, like a great bell, resonated through the empty Great Hall.
"Indeed, a fine prospect has arrived."
