Chapter 2327: Secret Zone Paradise
After hearing this, everyone nodded. But someone suddenly asked bluntly, “Can we enter the secret zone paradise to observe the enlightenment?”
Immediately, the space hushed, perhaps too drastically. The attention of all the cultivators fastened on the old man from the Lost Clan, waiting to see his reaction. This was equivalent to asking whether or not they could use the secret zone paradise handed down from the ancestors of the Lost Clan for their own cultivation.
This was also the true purpose for all the various principalities to converge here. A continent appeared out of nowhere in the Original Realm with countless cultivators on it. No matter how one looked at this event, it was hard for anyone not to be excited by it. Inevitably an association with divine relic was made with the appearance of this continent. Although the words of divine relic were never mentioned, none of these cultivators would believe what they had heard. There was no doubt that most of what the old man said was true, but equally, there may be other things that the Lost Clan had omitted.
Therefore, they wanted to explore this magical place for themselves to see if they could gain anything from it. Even if there were no inheritance left by a Great Emperor, they wanted to see the inherited power left by the supreme cultivators, who were the ancestors of the Lost Clan, for themselves.
More importantly, were there other purposes hidden within this mysterious space?
Hearing this demand, the old man from the Lost Clan shook his head and said, “The most precious treasures of the Lost Clan were housed inside this place, so we cannot disclose it to the public. Otherwise, would the Lost Clan still be considered the Lost Clan? Everything here is regarded as a top secret of the Lost Clan. Some of these places are considered forbidden areas, and even our own are not qualified to enter. Therefore, we hope you can understand our difficulty in complying with your request.”
Once, a similar scenario had played out in Ziwei Imperial Palace. Various principalities had descended upon Ziwei Imperial Palace at the same time, attempting to pressure the Imperial Palace to open the passageway into the starry sky world. The thing was that the Ziwei Imperial Palace had its own design at that time. It had actually allowed the top figures of all forces to enter intentionally, hoping to leverage their abilities to unlock the mystery of the starry sky.
“This secret zone paradise is truly amazing; it was formed with the forces of creation between heaven and earth. It is extremely rare to build such a secret zone for those in the Lost Clan to cultivate in.” At this time, someone else said, “However, we came from afar, filled with nothing but respect and awe for the Lost Clan. Why not let us enter and cultivate within the Lost Clan so that we may really become friends and solidify our friendship?”
Clearly, the man wanted to cultivate within the Lost Clan. Upon hearing his words, several cultivators nodded eagerly in agreement.
After hearing about the history of The Lost Clan, it was true that most of them had the utmost respect for the Lost Clan. However, respect aside, it didn’t mean that they would abandon their own mission so easily.
Otherwise, why would they bother to come?
They were beginning to realize that perhaps it wasn’t so wise to come here. It was possible that they would not be able to gain anything for their trouble, after all.
The cultivators of the Lost Clan frowned when they heard these words, and there were a lot of strange glances and expressions coming from the distance, displaying obscure but palpable displeasure. Suddenly, a powerful oppressive force shrouded this space. The invisible pressure alarmed those cultivators from outside, forcing them to tread very carefully.
Although they were a conglomerate of many cultivators, it would probably still fall short of what they wanted to achieve.
“The Lost Clan wants to befriend everyone here, but it doesn’t mean that we are willing to sacrifice our own interest to serve yours. Now, everyone who came here is among the top cultivators of various major principalities. Have you ever allowed any outsiders to force their way into your family or clan to cultivate?”
The old man’s exhortation silenced everyone, and they were unable to refute his logic. Indeed, who among them would allow other outsiders to cultivate in their own clan under those conditions? And they were talking about their most excellent cultivation method, no less.
The Lost Clan, of course, didn’t want to either. They were the premier clan on the Shenyi Continent—the leader of the pack.
“In that case, what is the purpose of inviting all of us here to the Lost Clan?” someone else piped up. The person who spoke was the top cultivator from the Devil World—Xiao Mu, the direct disciple of the Devil Emperor. Previously, he was defeated by Ye Futian and injured severely; it was the kind of injury that went beyond surface-level injuries.
However, any existence at this level was fully capable of recovering from this kind of injury rather quickly.
“I have said before—it was for all you all to learn more about the Lost Clan so that you can become friends.” The old man looked at Xiao Mu and continued, “Of course, if you still feel that wasn’t enough and want to understand us better, the cultivators of the Lost Clan are willing to have a friendly exchange with you so you can experience first-hand the cultivation methods carved inside the secret zone paradise.”
The Lost Clan had already taken a step back before. But now, it didn’t seem likely that they were willing to back down any further.
The Lost Clan had its own profound heritage in cultivation. There was no lack of forces that had attempted to enter their land by force before, but they could not achieve it for a reason.
“How?” someone queried.
“The Lost Clan will set up a matrix for everyone to enter and challenge; the realm will be at the same level,” the cultivator from the Lost Clan replied.
“How can you determine the outcome?” someone asked. “If the Lost Clan loses, could we enter the secret zone paradise to cultivate?”
“Yes,” the cultivator from the Lost Clan said as he looked at the speaker. He then asked in return, “Since you want to be allowed to enter our secret zone paradise to cultivate upon victory, what are you willing to wager in return if you are defeated?”
The cultivator who spoke before now appeared dumbfounded; he hadn’t thought about this scenario.
What would happen if they lost the battle?
“If you win, you want to enter our secret zone paradise, which is the holding place of the ultimate treasures of the Lost Clan. However, if you are defeated, would you be willing to hand over the cultivation methods you used during the battle, letting the Lost Clan enshrine them in the secret zone paradise for future generations?” the old man proposed rather casually, which sent that cultivator into silence yet again.
If so, it would be a fair exchange for both sides.
“I have no objection on the matter,” Ye Futian shrugged indifferently. Many cultivators around him nodded as well, a strong sense of confidence in their eyes. In their opinion, how could they possibly be defeated?
“If no one objects, let’s go outside for the fight; it is not suitable to battle here,” the old man from the Lost Clan directed. Everyone nodded and followed his lead to head outside. At the same time, many cultivators from the Lost Clan began to emerge as well, and some cultivators with phenomenal skills came out of the secret zone paradise with a shocking aura.
For example, from the secret zone paradise at this moment, a shirtless middle-aged man appeared. His upper body seemed to be cast in golden bronze, and infinite power exuded from his entire person. His body seemed to be made out of gold; it was immortal and indestructible like it could never be broken.
The cultivator in the secret zone paradise had a golden halo hovering above his head as if crowned by divine light, and it was radiant beyond description. He, too, walked toward the outside.
Successively, in that unique isolated space of the Lost Clan, extraordinary figures came out one after another from the secret zone paradise, and everyone had a superb temperament.
For countless years, the Lost Clan had been guarding this continent, protecting it from total destruction. They feared no death and had no regrets. They rarely fought major battles with anyone because there were not many opportunities to do so. But now, they had finally encountered the provocation of challenges from these human cultivators!
