Chapter 62: Ancient Immortal Seal? It's itchy!

The silhouette of the Nine Dragon Sandalwood Palanquin completely vanished within the entrance crack of the Ancient Immortal Relic Ground.

But that suffocating, terrifying pressure seemed to still shroud this heaven and earth.

The dozens of surviving sect leaders all went limp on their own warships or mounts.

They gasped heavily, as if just pulled from water, completely soaked.

The impact of that scene just now was truly too great for them.

One sect leader of their same rank, the Fire God Hall Master.

Right before their eyes, he was simply pressed to death with a single finger, done casually.

There was not even a trace of room for resistance.

What kind of power is that?

They could not even imagine it.

"That... that person, what realm exactly is he in?"

A sect leader's voice trembled, his teeth chattering.

"I don't know... but it definitely surpasses the Sect Leader Realm! Could it be... someone from the Upper Realm?"

Another sect leader, face deathly pale, guessed aloud.

Upper Realm.

As soon as those two words were spoken, the surroundings instantly filled with the sound of people sucking in cold breath.

In their understanding, the Sect Leader Realm is the pinnacle of cultivation in the Sanqian Zhou.

Only those from the Upper Realm could give birth to such terrifying beings, far surpassing the Sect Leader Realm!

"Impossible! Even if it were someone from the Upper Realm, it would be impossible to so easily wipe out a sect leader!"

An older sect leader with broader knowledge shook his head, his eyes full of dread.

He had once followed a venerable from the Upper Realm.

But that venerable would need to kill a sect leader.

Even a veteran sect leader like the Fire God Hall Master would not find it that easy!

"Then... what exactly are they..."

Everyone fell silent.

Just as everyone sank into endless fear and speculation,

a sect leader from the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion suddenly thought of something.

A glimmer of hope flashed in his eyes, mixed with a bit of schadenfreude, and he said sharply:

"Hmph! No matter where they come from or how strong they are, barging into the Ancient Immortal Relic Ground now is just courting death!"

Upon hearing this, everyone turned their gazes toward him.

Seeing that, the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion sect leader snorted coldly and continued:

"Don't you all forget? The entrance to the Ancient Immortal Relic Ground possesses a supreme Ancient Immortal Seal."

"That is why we cannot enter and divide the opportunities inside."

"That seal imposes different trials according to the intruder's bone age and aura; the stronger the power and the greater the bone age, the more terrifying the trial they must endure!"

"Back then, there was an old sect leader who had lived three epochs, his power unfathomable; relying on his strength, he tried to force his way through, but the result? He was directly obliterated, body and spirit destroyed, by that Immortal Dao Seal!"

"Those people just now, each with an aura deep as the sea, clearly ancient monsters who have lived who knows how many tens of thousands of years; charging in like that will surely trigger the strongest backlash of the Immortal Dao Seal! They might already have been blown to bits!"

Upon hearing this, the sect leaders who had been terrified out of their wits instantly had their eyes light up.

Exactly!

How could they have forgotten this!

The Immortal Dao Seal of the Ancient Immortal Relic Ground is a supreme existence that even these sect leaders dread.

No matter how strong they are, could they surpass a true immortal?

"Hahaha! Exactly right! They're doomed!"

"Arrogant and oblivious to danger! This is their fate!"

"Come on! Let's hurry over and take a look! We might even get to see them struck by the Immortal Dao Thunderbolt and turned to charcoal!"

For a moment, all the sect leaders were energized, smiles returning to their faces.

They each piloted their warships and mounts, cautiously flying toward that huge spatial rift.

They wanted to personally witness the annihilation of that reckless gang!

……

Meanwhile.

The Nine Dragon Sandalwood Palanquin had already passed through the spatial rift, arriving in a bizarre, chaotic passage.

On both sides of the passage raged violent spacetime turbulence and shattered Law Fragments, emitting a terrifying aura capable of ripping everything apart.

And directly ahead of the passage, a massive light curtain formed of countless golden runes blocked the way.

Upon that light curtain, immortal light flowed, Dao sounds rumbled, and a supreme Immortal Dao aura that towered over all beings emanated from within.

"Young Master, there is a seal here."

The voice of Grand Elder Gu Linjiang rang out from outside the palanquin.

He stood before the palanquin, gazing up at that Immortal Dao light curtain, his eyes filled with billions of runes flashing and evolving.

After a moment, he had fully grasped the details of this seal.

"This seal is extraordinarily profound; I, an old man, cannot understand it, and even if Xuan Ce were here, he'd probably still find it challenging."

"Can we break in?" Gu Yuan asked.

"The Young Master is joking."

Gu Linjiang's face showed full confidence.

"The person who set up this seal must at least be a True Immortal Peak cultivator, using it to screen descendants; only those who have not reached the Divine Dao Realm, i. e., the 7th Realm, and whose life state has not yet transformed can enter."

"If it were at its peak, not even ten thousand years would be enough for me to break it; we would have to call upon the Old Ancestor to act. But after countless eons of wear, its power has dwindled to a tenth—enough to kill ordinary Saint Realm cultivators and Supremes, yet…… it cannot stop us, especially since we also have the Nine Dragon Agarwood Palanquin bestowed by the Old Ancestor."

"Then let's break it, don't waste time." Gu Yuan lazily waved his hand.

"Yes, Young Master."

Gu Linjiang responded respectfully.

He didn't even use any earth-shattering divine abilities.

He simply slowly raised a hand, pointing at the huge Immortal Dao light curtain from afar.

Hum—

A seemingly ordinary finger wind shot from his fingertip.

With a single finger point, myriad laws retreat!

The next moment, that finger wind silently landed on the Immortal Dao light curtain.

The originally flowing immortal light and rumbling Dao sounds of the seal curtain shuddered violently the moment it touched this finger wind.

Immediately afterward, under the gaze of Gu Yuan and several other Supremes.

The light curtain, composed of countless golden Immortal Dao runes, seemed to have been infused with some kind of deadly poison.

Starting from the point where the finger wind fell, it quickly grew dim, decayed, and then…… disintegrated inch by inch!

It took only a few breaths.

That Immortal Dao seal, powerful enough to make even the Sect Leaders of the lower realms change color at hearing it, was silently opened into a huge human-shaped hole.

A safe, flat passage appeared before everyone.

"Heh, with this little power, it dares to be called an Immortal Dao seal? It's not even enough to tickle the Young Master."

Gu Zhan Supreme saw this and scoffed disdainfully.

The Nine Dragon Agarwood Palanquin was activated again, without the slightest pause.

Following the cleared passage, it slowly entered beyond the light curtain.

But just as they had entered, the hole that had been blasted open began to rapidly heal.

The group of Guilty Prefecture Sect Leaders who had come along just to watch the show also finally arrived at this place.

When they saw the Immortal Dao light curtain.

The enormous human-shaped hole, as if forcibly torn open by something.

Everyone's eyes almost popped out of their sockets!

"What…… what is going on?!"

"The Immortal Dao seal…… broken?!"

"No! Impossible! This is absolutely impossible! That was a seal laid down by an immortal!"

All the Sect Leaders, as if seeing a ghost, let out incredulous screams.

They rubbed their eyes and looked again.

Correct!

The human-shaped hole truly exists!

Even, they could feel from the edge of the hole a faint trace of the seal's power dissipating.

This shows that the seal has truly been broken!

And it just happened!

"Could…… it have been done by that group?"

A thought that made even them feel absurd rose simultaneously in everyone's hearts.

"Gulp."

A Sect Leader swallowed hard with difficulty, his eyes flashing with an uncontrollable greed as he gazed at the safe passage leading beyond the light curtain.

"The…… seal is broken! So…… can we also go in?"

Upon these words, all the Sect Leaders caught their breath, their hearts pounding uncontrollably.

Yes!

The Immortal Dao seal being broken means they will no longer face any trials and can directly enter the core region of the Immortal Ancient Relic Ground!

Inside, there are countless opportunities!

"Go!"

"Fast!"

"Get ahead of everyone else!"

In an instant, all reason was replaced by greed.

The Sect Leader nearest to them could no longer hold back, turning into a streak of light and rushing headfirst toward that human-shaped hole!

He wanted to seize the initiative!

However, just as his figure was about to pass through the hole.

Suddenly, an anomaly arose!
