Cultivating To Immortality

"Indeed, the strength of the immortal restriction far exceeds our imagination. Forcing our way in is definitely not an option."

"However, the immortal abode has only recently appeared, and the news hasn't spread yet. It's estimated that after a while, a large number of powerhouses will arrive upon hearing the news."

"At that time, we can discuss with the other cultivators and see if we can unite the strength of more people to find a way to break the restriction together. This way, the opportunity will be greater," Azure Emperor analyzed.

"That's the only way. Acting rashly now is useless. We should wait patiently on the side and see who else will come later," Fang Hong felt that Azure Emperor's words made sense.

After speaking, he took the lead and flew towards an uninhabited barren island below. Azure Emperor and Susan quickly followed.

After waiting for ten days, the development of events was exactly as Fang Hong, Susan, and Azure Emperor had expected.

The area around the immortal abode, which was originally quite peaceful, continuously saw the appearance of large numbers of high-level cultivators with powerful Auras.

Fang Hong quietly released his Divine Sense, carefully sweeping over the surrounding crowd, secretly marveling in his heart.

The appearance of this immortal abode was so astonishingly attractive that it had probably drawn over eighty percent of the top experts on the entire Azure Holy Continent.

The three Mahayana Old Ancestors of Fallen Immortal Sect were all present, the three Mahayana Old Ancestors of Creation sect also came, and Sword Immortal sect likewise sent three Mahayana Old Ancestors.

Not only the Righteous Path sects of the Human, but the three Demonic Path sects were also not absent.

The three top Demonic Path forces—Underworld Mansion, Demonic Soul Hall, and Blood Fiend Gate—each sent three Mahayana Old Ancestors.

Adding Fang Hong himself, Susan and Azure Emperor by his side, and those Mahayana Loose Cultivators who were not affiliated with any sect and cultivated independently.

Counting them all, it seemed that the Mahayana Cultivators on the entire Azure Holy Continent had all come out, gathering here.

Besides these Mahayana Old Ancestors standing at the peak of the cultivation world, countless cultivators below the Mahayana stage also arrived. A rough estimate put the number at tens of thousands at least.

Their eyes burned with fervor, gazing at the distant immortal abode shrouded by the restriction.

Each person harbored a glimmer of anticipation, eager to enter the immortal abode and strive with all their might for the opportunity that could potentially change their life's destiny.

Bang. Bang. Bang.

Just then, a series of dull yet loud sounds suddenly came from the distant sea.

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound, only to see the vast sea, which was originally quite calm, now violently churning.

Giant waves, tens of feet high, surged like angry beasts, crashing towards the shore.

Clearly, this was not a natural phenomenon, but rather the powerhouses from the Sea Race finally making their appearance.

Fang Hong's gaze penetrated the churning waves, looking towards the Sea Race's team.

He saw that the Sea Race had also dispatched many Mahayana powerhouses this time. Powerful auras belonging to Mahayana Cultivators permeated the air above the sea.

Counting carefully, including these Mahayana powerhouses from the Sea Race, the Human and Sea Race of the Azure Holy Continent, a total of thirty-eight Mahayana Cultivators had gathered here this time.

Such a shocking scene, with thirty-eight Mahayana Cultivators gathered in one place, was rarely seen in ordinary times.

This also showed how immense the attraction of this immortal abode was.

As soon as the Sea Race powerhouses appeared, they unreservedly released their powerful pressure. That terrifying aura instantly swept across the entire sea area.

Clearly, they adopted this stance to drive away the surrounding Human Cultivators with their own strength and monopolize all the opportunities within this immortal abode.

However, the Mahayana Cultivators of the Human obviously could not agree to such actions by the Sea Race.

They moved one after another, flying to face the Sea Race powerhouses. The two sides thus confronted each other, neither willing to give way.

Upon seeing this, Fang Hong and his two companions immediately flew out from the island where they had been hiding and joined the Human's camp, standing shoulder to shoulder with the other Human Cultivators.

Ancestor Wu He of Fallen Immortal Sect, seeing that Fang Hong had actually advanced to the Mahayana stage, couldn't help but show a surprised expression.

In just a few short decades, Fang Hong had made such an astonishing breakthrough.

However, now was a critical period for contending over the immortal abode.

The situation was special, and the past grudges and entanglements between the two sides could only be temporarily set aside and dealt with later.

The relationship between the Human and the Sea Race was not harmonious in ordinary times, and conflicts often arose over the struggle for sea resources.

Now, a large-scale confrontation had formed in the face of such immense benefits from the immortal abode, and the atmosphere on the scene became incredibly tense.

Cultivators from both sides released their sharp auras, and powerful auras collided and intertwined in the air. It seemed that a great battle was about to erupt at any moment.

Just at this tense and critical moment, Ancestor Xuan Ba, the strongest powerhouse of Fallen Immortal Sect, slowly took a step forward.

He spoke, breaking the stalemate on the scene, and proposed.

"Everyone, now is not the time to fight."

"Presumably, you have all seen that the outer perimeter of this immortal abode is shrouded in an incredibly powerful restriction. With the strength of any one side alone, it will be very difficult to break it."

"Only if all of us join forces will it be possible to successfully enter the immortal abode."

At this point, Ancestor Xuan Ba paused, then added.

"How about this, after we join forces to break the restriction and enter the immortal abode, everyone can then rely on their own abilities to seek opportunities."

"At that time, whether one is strong or weak will depend entirely on individual fortune. What do you all think?"

Hearing Ancestor Xuan Ba's proposal, the Mahayana powerhouses of the Sea Race did not immediately express their stance but exchanged glances.

Then, they all released their Divine Thought, quickly communicating in secret, seemingly weighing the pros and cons.

After a moment, Old Ancestor Demonic Shark, the most powerful aura from the Sea Race, finally stepped forward and said in a deep voice.

"We agree to join forces."

Ancestor Xuan Ba, seeing the Sea Race agree, showed a satisfied expression on his face and immediately said.

"Good. Since that is the case, there's no time to lose. Let's act now."

As soon as his voice fell, Ancestor Xuan Ba no longer hesitated and began to rapidly gather a powerful Fire Finger Divine Power at his fingertips.

As the spiritual power within him continuously poured in, the light of that Fire Finger grew brighter and brighter, and a powerful aura belonging to the Mahayana peak also spread out with it.

The other Human Mahayana Old Ancestors, seeing this, also no longer delayed, and one after another released their auras, rapidly gathering their respective spiritual power at Divine Abilities in their hands.

The Mahayana powerhouses on the Sea Race's side also did not procrastinate, similarly beginning to cast Divine Abilities. Attacks containing terrifying power gradually took shape in their hands.

"Break."

With a sharp roar from Ancestor Xuan Ba, he was the first to strike.

A crimson Fire Finger flew from his fingertip, like a burning Fire Dragon, fiercely striking the restriction on the outer perimeter of the immortal abode.

Immediately after, the other thirty-seven Mahayana Old Ancestors also launched their attacks simultaneously.

Divine Abilities of various colors and astonishing power, like meteors, streaked across the sky, bombarding the same spot.
