Chapter 206: The Gathering of the Strong, the Birth of the Jade Lotus of Destiny
In the center of the forbidden land, that strange place had undergone a great change, perhaps because of Su Yi or something else.
Five five-colored pillars of light soared into the sky, and the bluestone platform actually floated in the air. Under the platform, there was a huge whirlpool of water waves.
The sound of rushing and rushing lake water could be heard here. The five five-colored pillars trembled slightly from the impact, but they were still incomparably sturdy. They did not have the feeling of being on the verge of collapse.
At this moment, an old man wearing a purple robe came to this place. He looked old, his hair was gray, and his old eyes flickered with a bright light.
The old man held a small wheel-like magic treasure in his hand. At this moment, the needle in the wheel trembled slightly, and it was pointing towards the place in front.
This old man was the old man surnamed Xu. There were no clan disciples behind him. Perhaps they were trapped, or they were killed. Who knew?
The old man slowly came to the edge of the valley. The treasure-seeking compass in his hand trembled slightly. His eyes looked at the five-colored pillar of light, and there were actually tears in his eyes.
He said excitedly in his trembling voice, “the five elements soaring pillar, the Jade Lotus of Destiny… it has been hundreds of years… is it finally going to be born?”
At this time, a figure flashed and landed near the old man of the Xu family.
“Xu Que, I didn’t expect you would be the first one to arrive.”
Hearing this, the old man of the Xu family turned around abruptly. In his eyes, it was another old man. Immediately, the excitement in his eyes disappeared. What was left was an endless cold light and coldness.
He said in a cold voice, “hehe, Tang Shang, you old ghost, aren’t you slow?”
Although the two of them seemed to be greeting each other, in fact, the distance between them was just right. The eyes of the two teams remained vigilant.
At this moment, another voice slowly echoed out.
“Hahaha, the five elements soaring sky pillar and the Jade Lotus of Destiny. Looks like we’ve finally come to the right place!”
An old man rushed over from afar, bringing with him waves of dust. In the blink of an eye, he had arrived between Xu Que and the old man, Tang Shang.
The old man first looked at the place where the five-colored pillar of light was. When he realized that the thing in his heart had not appeared, he looked at the two of them and said calmly, “how have you two been?”
However, the reply to the old man was two light snorts. It seemed that neither Xu Que nor Tang Shang liked to deal with the old man who came later.
The name of the old man who came later was Shen Gongbao. The family behind him also had a place in the central sky region.
Following the arrival of the three old men, some old men came here one after another.
One of them was Xuan Lingzi from the Sword Pavilion. He had a gloomy expression on his face. There was not a single Sword Pavilion disciple behind him. In other words, all of the Sword Pavilion elites he had led had died during this trip to the forbidden land.
Following him was the team led by the Thousand Treasures Pavilion. There were a few more people in their team. Although they looked a little pathetic, they did not suffer much loss.
On the other hand, the other elders either came alone or followed a few disciples from two clans.
Out of the twelve teams, eleven teams had arrived.
As for the twelfth team, they were the city lord’s people. No one knew how they were doing now.
The elders in the twelve teams were from the Xu family, the Tang family, the Shen family, the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion, Lu Yan, and the Sword Pavilion, Xuan Lingzi…
The forces behind these five had a certain amount of influence in the central sky region. The rest were mostly the top families and forces in the great desolate region. No one knew where they got the news from. They took this opportunity to push their families and forces to the central sky region.
The twelve old men were quite a distance away from each other. They were all on guard against each other. In their hearts, as long as that thing was born, there would definitely be a world-shaking battle, and they would even pay the price of their lives to fight for it.
This was because they had lived until now, and their lifespans were almost at the end. This was unless they broke through to the core formation realm and headed to the central sky region.
Suddenly, while they were on guard, a strange change occurred in the lake, and a ray of multicolored light slowly rose from the vortex.
Immediately, the spiritual qi in the world seemed to have been attracted by something and began to pour into that place.
Within the multicolored light, one could vaguely see that it was an existence like a lotus bud. One could only see that the lotus bud had mysterious patterns on it.
The spiritual energy that had gathered between the Heaven and Earth formed a huge spiritual energy vortex that appeared on the top of the lotus bud, forming a sharp contrast with the vortex in the center of the lake.
This scene stunned those old men.
They were all excited, their chests heaving up and down, but none of them made a move to fight for it.
Why? It could be seen that the lotus bud had yet to open. When it did, it would be the day when the Jade Lotus of Destiny would mature. That would be the best time to harvest it. However, it would still take some time for the Jade Lotus of destiny to mature.
In the middle of the lake, the Jade Lotus of Destiny seemed to be unsatisfied with the infusion of the spirit qi vortex. A wave of spirit energy rippled around it.
Soon after, the earth vein qi on the five elemental stone pillars was attracted and began to erupt from the stone pillars. Then, it turned into a torrent that swept into the spirit qi vortex.
When the five different colored earth vein qi torrents swept into the spirit qi vortex, they immediately dyed the spirit qi vortex into a rainbow of colors. At a glance, it was extremely beautiful.
At this moment, an old man’s eyes flashed with greed. His body moved and swiftly shot toward the immature Jade Lotus of Destiny. The true essence on his body suddenly erupted and the aura of a perfect foundation establishment spread.
However, the other old men were even more indifferent when they saw this. This was especially so for the factions behind them that came from the central sky region.
All of them looked coldly at the figure that was dashing towards the lotus. They did not stop him, instead, the corners of their mouths curled up into a cold smile.
Just as the bold elder was about to reach out his hand to grab the jade lotus bud, his hand suddenly shook, as if it had collided with an incomparably hard barrier.
Under the elder’s extremely shocked gaze, a torrent of spirit energy along with the five elements earth vein qi heavily slammed into his body.
Immediately, the elder spat out blood and flew backwards. He then slid on the ground for dozens of meters before he slowly came to a stop.
Seeing this, Xu Que could not help but sneer coldly.
“Hmph, overestimating yourself. Your knowledge is shallow. All these years, you’ve lived like a dog.”
Old monsters like them, who had lived for hundreds of years, naturally knew that when a heaven-defying numinous treasure was born, it was either protected by powerful demon beasts or guardians, or it had its own means of self-protection.
It was to prevent it from dying prematurely when it was about to mature.
These old men gently came to the lakeside, and the true essence on their bodies naturally circulated. As long as the Jade Lotus of Destiny bloomed, it would be time to fight.
At this time, under the earth veins…
