Chapter 1218: Chapter 1209: The Man Within the Time Cave
Everyone stood in front of the Time Cave, feeling the chaotic, deathly silence surging like a tide from within.
Standing here, they could clearly sense that the speed of their lifespan depletion seemed to have accelerated considerably.
"It is rumored that within the Time Cave, there are numerous unidentified treasures, some even passed down from several eras ago, buried in the rock walls on both sides. If we can dig out some good items on this trip, perhaps they could be presented as a gift at Mo Venerable’s wedding ceremony."
The news of Eternal Mountain’s reestablishment has naturally spread throughout Daluo Heaven.
The world does not know the true origins of Eternal Mountain; they only think that it is a new Sacred Land self-established by Mo Wangchen.
He is revered as the Saint Master of Eternal Mountain, now called Mo Venerable by the world.
The Investiture of the Gods is in his hands, making Mo Wangchen undoubtedly the focus of attention for everyone under the heavens.
For nine hundred years, many Cultivators have obtained numerous treasures within the Time Cave. Now, with Mo Wangchen’s wedding ceremony coming soon, this team arriving at this place also hopes to try their luck; should they acquire items from the cave, they would serve as gifts for Mo Wangchen.
Compared to Divine Status, what treasures in the world could compare?
Soon, over a dozen people in the team began discussing preparations to enter the Time Cave.
This is currently the most mysterious Life Forbidden Zone in Daluo Heaven Realm. Although over the nine hundred years it has been explored by many Cultivators, the understanding of it still amounts to less than one or two percent of its total.
Entering the Time Cave is exceedingly dangerous; within, it’s not just the simple depletion of lifespan.
It’s heard that some have encountered unknown attacks inside, resulting in death.
"Set off!"
About half an hour passed; after the discussions were over, the white-haired Demigod Realm elder spoke.
He is the leader of the team, possessing Demigod Realm cultivation, the strongest in this team, not belonging to any faction, merely a Loose Cultivator.
Everyone accompanying him here today is also from various places in Daluo Heaven Realm as Loose Cultivators.
Not long ago, they gathered in Time City, leading to today’s exploration of the Time Cave.
"Tap, tap, tap..."
However, just as everyone moved in unison to step into the Time Cave.
Suddenly, a slight sound of footsteps was heard by all.
Everyone was taken aback, their gaze shifted towards the cave, for the sound came from within.
After about a few breaths, a figure walked out from the pitch-black cave entrance, a young man dressed in black with a lotus imprint between his brows.
"Is this place... the Real World?"
As the youth walked out of the cave, he surveyed the crowd before him and spoke indifferently.
"What Real World?"
The group was stunned, their initially suspended hearts gradually relaxed; they thought some terrifying creature might emerge from the Time Cave but didn’t expect just an ordinary young man.
"This kid seems to have entered the Time Cave before us; now that he’s out, perhaps he brought out something good..."
Within the team, someone squinted, revealing a greedy glint. They were Loose Cultivators, used to acting freely and often engaged in activities of robbing for treasures.
Seeing someone had come out from the Time Cave with treasures, malice spontaneously arose in their hearts.
"Young friend, I don’t wish to make things too difficult; though I don’t know what your identity is, you’re unfortunate to run into us today. Hand over your possessions, and we’ll let you leave safely."
The white-haired Demigod Realm elder stepped forward, his gaze lightly sweeping over the youth as he spoke.
"Is this... the Real World?"
Standing still, the youth’s expression remained indifferent, unwavering, as he asked again.
"What is this Real World nonsense? Don’t try any tricks with me, or you can’t blame me for being ruthless." The Demigod Realm elder squinted and coldly laughed, stepping towards the youth.
"Boom!"
Yet unexpectedly, the youth raised a finger, pointing in the air, sending a formless Finger Light that pierced through the Demigod Realm elder’s forehead instantly, even directly severing his Primordial Spirit, destroying him completely, killed instantly.
"What?"
Faced with this abrupt change, everyone else turned pale, witnessing the strong Demigod Realm being obliterated in a finger flick, proving the youth’s strength far exceeded their imagination.
"Run!"
They didn’t think twice; escape was their only thought now.
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
The youth pointed repeatedly in the air, neat and quick, devoid of any dazzling light. As the dozen people had just started to turn away, before they could leave, dozens of formless Finger Lights pierced through their brows.
The dozen met instant death, none spared!
"I walked through the Time Cave... this place... it must be the Real World undoubtedly..."
The youth didn’t even glance at the dead, his gaze swept through the surrounding void as he murmured to himself, then, after a brief silence, he didn’t hesitate and stepped away towards the distance, eventually vanishing from sight.
In the Longevity Domain, currents and clouds gathered, contrasting the eerily silent Time Cave, the current Time City was bustling to the extreme.
No one knew of the dozen who died in front of the Time Cave; the topic of discussion amongst the Cultivators revolved mostly around Mo Wangchen and the Investiture of the Gods.
On the third day after this event...
By the lakeside somewhere on the Holy Mountain, Mo Wangchen was gathered with a group of friends, sitting by the lakeshore drinking merrily.
"I’ve been on the mountain for several days; how come I haven’t seen the teacher’s wife?" At this moment, Fang Han was sitting along with Jing Yun and Zhang Hao, several of their peers, and after several cups, he looked at Mo Wangchen, curiously speaking.
"Yurou should be with my mother now. I haven’t seen her for over half a month either." Mo Wangchen held a wine cup, smiling wryly.
"What do you mean?" Upon hearing this, Bai Jincheng, Green Emperor, and the others looked over curiously.
"My mother said it’s a custom. It’s not appropriate for the couple to meet before the wedding ceremony."
Upon hearing this, everyone understood, nodding, finding it not hard to comprehend.
"Speed..."
An hour later, two brilliant figures flew in from afar; these were two women whom Mo Wangchen was not unfamiliar with.
Besides Mu Family’s Saintess Mu Ruqing, the other one was Flame Phoenix Saintess Feng Qing.
"Over here!"
As Mu Ruqing and the other had just landed, Tian Xinzhi waved at them. The three could be considered the absolute beauties of Daluo Heaven Realm; during Mo Wangchen’s nine hundred years of absence, their relations have turned out quite well.
