Chapter 1550
However, Tang Huan knew, the cultivators of the True Martial Immortal Sect and the Purple Cloud Sword Sect would not let this go easily. After all, Luo Chi and Bian Tianyi were still trapped within the space of his cave.
Regarding this, Tang Huan did not pay too much attention to it.
After thanking the people who came to help, he sat down with Gu Caiwei and Tang Manrou once again.
He needed to consolidate his cultivation base and recover the firepower that he had consumed. Gu Caiwei and Tang Manrou also needed a lot of time to nurture the "Celestial Tree Crystals" and immortal equipment that had already merged with the Dantian.
Not long after, the bustling sounds finally disappeared.
Whether it was the cultivators who had entered earlier or the cultivators from the various sects, all of them sat down cross-legged, either to recover from their injuries or to restore their strength.
In this vast space, the silence was so tranquil that one could hear a pin drop.
Tang Huan calmed her mind and focused, refining the remaining black tree energy within the "Nine Yang Divine Furnace". At almost the same time, the firepower of the "Primal Chaos Dao Flame" in the Dantian's cauldron was also recovering bit by bit. This flame was quite mysterious. Even without external help, its firepower would continue to grow.
Time flew by like a shuttle.
"Rumble …"
After an unknown period of time, a loud explosion occurred, and the air trembled.
This familiar scene caused many cultivators to wake up as they started to search around. Soon, they found a stretch of empty space on the right side of the nine story tower. Sure enough, in the blink of an eye, a new arch was formed. It was so fast that it could be seen with the naked eye.
Indeed, a large number of figures quickly flashed out from the arched door.
The number of people was slightly more than the last time. When the arched door disappeared, about a thousand cultivators came in. After a sorrowful and joyous scene, the space returned to its previous peaceful state.
Although Tang Huan could clearly feel what was happening outside, she did not take it to heart.
According to his judgement, it was very likely that there would be other changes in this space only after all the cultivators from the nine tunnels had successfully arrived at this place. Before that, there was no other way but to continue to wait.
Tang Huan did not think much about what would happen if any of the cultivators in the other tunnels were to be completely wiped out. After all, there was no point in blindly pondering about it right now.
After that, every so often, earth-shattering explosions and loud shouts would be heard. Every time a clamor broke out, many surprised gazes would fall on Tang Huan. After all, only Tang Huan had ever done such a magnificent feat of clearing the path by herself.
As time passed, a group of cultivators successfully traversed through the incomparably dangerous Nine Stage palace area and arrived at this place. Some were a few hundred people, some were even over a thousand.
Unknowingly, the number of Heavenly Monarchs in this area had increased to more and more.
It wasn't known when it had begun, but everyone had split into ten groups according to their sects. When all eight tunnels were gathered, there were already more than ten thousand people. Among them, the imperial palace had the most cultivators, over two thousand of them. The Yin Yang Dao Sect had the least, only four hundred of them.
However, in terms of casualty rate, the Yin Yang Dao Sect was actually the lowest.
After all, the imperial palace, True Martial Immortal Sect, and the nine great sects had sent over over a hundred thousand Heavenly Lords, while the number of the Yin Yang Dao Sect was less than ten thousand.
"Rumble …"
After a long period of silence, another loud sound rang out.
The arch was formed for the ninth time. Hundreds of figures could be seen, all of them exhausted. Their bodies were wounded and they looked vigilant.
Seeing their appearances, many cultivators were no longer surprised. Immediately, cultivators from various sects came forward and brought them back to their respective groups.
"We're finally here!"
Tang Huan exhaled lightly and slowly opened her eyes.
After cultivating for a period of time, his cultivation had not improved at all. He was still at the 40,001st Heavenly Dao Crystal level when he had just stepped into the fourth level of the Heavenly Lord Stage. However, his Heavenly Yuan had become more condensed than before, and his strength had increased by quite a bit.
After such a long time, the cultivators of the nine passages were finally gathered.
The one million heavenly kings from the top ten sects came in high spirits, but in the end there were only around ten thousand of them who were still alive. It was equivalent to ninety-nine of the one hundred that had died.
Such a loss was extremely heavy.
Furthermore, it remained unknown how many of the over ten thousand people who were still alive were able to successfully leave this Ancient Era's Immortal Ruins and return to their respective sects.
Tang Huan's mind raced, and her gaze landed on the nine story high white tower in the center of the space.
There were already many cultivators searching this area countless times, trying to find a way to leave or to go to other areas. However, it was all in vain. There were also many cultivators who turned their attention to the Nine Floors Tower, but in the end, there were still no results.
Not only was the pagoda completely sealed off by a powerful force, it did not even have a door or a window. It simply did not know how to enter.
After a long time, many cultivators had similar thoughts to Tang Huan.
He felt that he needed all the cultivators in the nine tunnels to meet up at this place called the "Primeval Killing Stage" Ancient Era's Immortal Ruins. However, this was only the guess of Tang Huan and the other cultivators from the other sects.
If all the cultivators in the nine tunnels were gathered here, there would still be no activity here. It was likely that many people would not be able to take it.
After a few more days, there would probably be people who would collapse out of despair.
"Buzz!"
After a short moment, an incomparably loud trembling sound was heard.
It immediately attracted the attention of all the cultivators. Under the gaze of over twenty thousand pairs of eyes, the originally unmoving nine-story pagoda started to blossom with an exceptionally bright and dazzling white luster.
On the surface of the glass-like tower, there seemed to be a layer of flowing light that made the tower even more crystal clear. In an instant, a string of characters appeared within the tower —
The Primeval Killing Realm, the Nine Paths, the Glazed Treasure Pagoda, the Immortal Flower.
It was easy to understand that he had reached the Nascent Killing Stage. It was the name of this Ancient Era's Immortal Ruins. No matter which passage one entered through, after one passed through the grand staircase, they would be able to see these four words on the signboard of the palace gate. It was easy to understand why the nine beams of light came to welcome them. However, the "Primeval Killing Realm" was too brutal. Even when the cultivators recalled it, they still had some lingering fears and bitter expressions on their faces.
The Glazed Treasure Pagoda was naturally referring to the nine story pagoda in front of them. However, the words "Immortal Flower" caused many cultivators to be puzzled.
