“It’s actually the Myriad Ghost Cave.”

After Qi Ming heard Daoist Martial Saint, he frowned and pondered, “Did Sect Master and the others change the location of the legacy competition? Or are they prepared already?”

“After you enter the Myriad Ghost Cave, you will have absolute freedom in your actions. You can do anything, but we will determine if you are qualified to enter the Heaven Enlightenment Immortal Mountain according to your exact situation.”

Daoist Martial Saint continued, “Prepare to set off.”

“Space passageway.”

“Open!”

Daoist Martial Saint directly threw a punch. The powerful punch contained a magnificent martial path Dao runes that blasted a huge hole in the space.

Crack!

Space shattered.

Then, spatial runes appeared again, forming a huge vortex passageway.

“Go.” Daoist Martial Saint said.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

Figures tore through the air as 859 legacy disciples transformed into streaks of light and entered the spatial passageway. In the blink of an eye, they were teleported to the Myriad Ghost Cave.

Figures appeared. A total of 859 huge projections appeared around the palace of the Heaven Enlightenment Sect’s legacy competition.

These projections clearly showed the situation of the 859 legacy disciples of the twelve peaks of the Heaven Enlightenment Sect to the elders, and Qi Ming naturally could see it.

In the projection, the scene of the Myriad Ghost Cave appeared.

A hundred years ago, Qi Ming was a legacy disciple of the Green Cloud Peak who was participating in the legacy competition. Today, a hundred years later, Qi Ming became the audience and watched this legacy competition from the ‘spectator stand’.

He had two completely different identities.

There was a huge change.

Myriad Ghost Cave.

The environment was extremely adverse. Mist, poison, ghostly miasma, and various kinds of fog spread out. Withered trees, rotting earth, huge sinister trees with ghost faces…

Looking over, from time to time, there were various floating ghost shadows. It could be said to be filled with ghost shadows.

Nine Nether Qi filled the Myriad Ghost Cave.

The Myriad Ghost Cave was a chaotic place. Although the range was not very large, there were a large number of different chaotic ghosts occupying it. Coupled with the fact that it was connected to the entrance of Nine Nether and was filled with Nine Nether Qi, it was not suitable for cultivation.

Now, a total of 859 legacy disciples were randomly teleported to various places in the Myriad Ghost Cave, so it naturally caused a considerable commotion and attracted the ghosts inside.

Not long after, the battle erupted.

The battle scenes of the legacy disciples of the twelve peaks of the Heaven Enlightenment Sect and the ghosts of the Myriad Ghost Cave were all transmitted into these projections.

Qi Ming’s attention was basically on Yuan Feng and Xiao Fan. Although the two of them were at the late-stage Nascent Soul realm, they were extremely strong. They had killed many ghosts and displayed extraordinary combat strength.

Xiao Fan’s performance was much better than Yuan Feng’s.

Time passed.

In the blink of an eye, three days passed.

Nothing major happened in the Myriad Ghost Cave. However, as more and more chaotic ghosts were killed, it caused a considerable commotion, causing many powerful ghosts to come out from the depths of the Myriad Ghost Cave.

The battle became more and more intense.

These were all manageable.

The Myriad Ghost Cave was filled with Nine Nether Qi. Under its influence, a large number of chaotic ghosts occupied it. There were even many ferocious ghosts, evil ghosts, ghost kings, and so on, and it was sufficient to form an army.

Normally speaking, only ghost cultivators preferred to enter the Myriad Ghost Cave to capture these ghosts with chaotic minds and refine them into corresponding treasures.

In the palace of the Heaven Enlightenment Sect’s legacy competition.

“Sect Master.”

Daoist Martial Saint looked at the surrounding projections, “It’s already been three days. Nothing major has happened in the Myriad Ghost Cave. What Qi Ming said might not be accurate.”

“Although Qi Ming is very strong and has an extremely monstrous aptitude, at the early-stage Leaving Aperture realm and even nurtured a late-stage Dao Integration spirit pet, his deduction might not be accurate.”

Patriarch Spirit Control said, “No matter what, it’s been a long time since the immortals spread their influence to the four regions.”

“Don’t worry.”

Yang Li said, “It’s only been three days. Also, regardless of whether the matter is true or not, it’s good to be more vigilant. Moreover, after Qi Ming informed me about the matter he inferred, there have actually been changes in the future.”

“You should also know that the Dao of Heaven Secrets is the most mysterious. Perhaps because of some small matters, there will be a huge change in the future.”

“Yes.”

“Sect Master is right.”

Daoist Martial Saint and the others nodded.

On the fourth day, at noon.

“It’s about to begin.”

Qi Ming’s eyes flashed. He could vaguely sense some changes, so he calculated again. His gaze focused as he looked at the surrounding projection.

In the Myriad Ghost Cave, something unexpected happened.

Crack! Crack!

Space cracked.

Two spatial tunnels appeared.

“Hehehe…”

“Legacy disciples of the Heaven Enlightenment Sect, it’s time to die.”

“Hahaha…”

In these two spatial passages, figures rushed out one after another. These two spatial passages were connected to the two great factions of the Western Region.

They were: the Endless Abyss and the Nine Nether Ghost Sect.

In the Western Region.

There were a total of five major factions.

Apart from the Endless Abyss and the Nine Nether Ghost Sect, there were also three major factions.

They were: Heavenly Temple, Nine Heavens Mystic Sect, and Limitless Dao Sect.

“Endless Abyss, Nine Nether Ghost Sect.”

Daoist Martial Saint suddenly stood up as a shocked expression appeared on his face, “The things that Qi Ming deduced are actually all true.”

“They’re really here.”

Patriarch Spirit Control’s gaze was solemn.

“In other words…”

Patriarch Life-Killing’s gaze was like a sword and was extremely sharp, “This time, it’s indeed the Immortal Race who attacked in secret! The Immortal Race is using someone else to kill us, but why did they target our Heaven Enlightenment Sect first?”

“Since they’re here.”

Yang Li said in a low voice, “They have to be prepared to pay the price.”

“Follow the plan. Inform all the Grand Elders who are lying in ambush in the Myriad Ghost Cave to not be anxious. Let the enemies of the Endless Abyss and the Nine Nether Ghost Sect enter the Myriad Ghost Cave first. Then, activate the Heaven and Earth Sealing Great Array and completely cut off their escape route and support.”

“This time, I want to make the Endless Abyss and the Nine Nether Ghost Sect pay a heavy price. Moreover, I want to let the immortals of the Central World understand that the Heaven Enlightenment Sect is not something they can casually deal with.”

“Yes.”

“Yes.”

“…”

Daoist Martial Saint and the others replied.

Time passed, half an hour later.

The Endless Abyss sent 5,000 underground demons with Leaving Aperture realm cultivation levels. There were also many existences with cultivations comparable to the Soul Formation realm.

In addition, three underground demon kings comparable to the Dao Integration realm appeared.

There was also an underground Demon Venerable who had surpassed the Dao Integration realm.

From the Nine Nether Ghost Sect, they also sent 5,000 Leaving Aperture realm ghost cultivators and many inner sect elders of the Nine Nether Ghost Sect who had reached the Soul Formation realm.

There were also three Dao Integration realm legacy elders of the Nine Nether Ghost Sect.

Finally, there was actually a Grand Elder of the Nine Nether Ghost Sect who had surpassed the Dao Integration realm.

When the underground demons of the Endless Abyss and the ghost cultivators of the Nine Nether Ghost Sect entered the Myriad Ghost Cave, it became completely chaotic.

Many ghosts went crazy in the Myriad Ghost Cave.

It was truly a chaotic scene.

“What… what happened?”

“What happened?”

“Why did these ghosts suddenly go crazy?”

“Looks like something happened.”

“…”

The legacy disciples of the twelve peaks of the Heaven Enlightenment Sect noticed the change in the ghosts in the Myriad Ghost Cave. These chaotic ghosts completely went crazy and formed a vast ghost army that swept in all directions.

Wherever the army passed, it was as if it wanted to destroy everything.

Not long after, in the projection, everyone also saw that the legacy disciples of the twelve peaks of the Heaven Enlightenment Sect encountered underground demons and powerful ghost cultivators, and a miserable battle erupted.

“Why would the underground demons appear in the Myriad Ghost Cave?”

“It’s understandable that ghost cultivators appeared, but why did the underground demons appear?”

“How can there be so many?”

“Something happened.”

On the twelve floating palaces, the Peak Masters of the twelve peaks, the legacy elders, and the many inner sect elders also saw the scene in the projection and were all shocked.

Something major had clearly happened.

“Let them attack.” Yang Li’s gaze was cold.

“Yes.”

Daoist Martial Saint and the others replied.

He used the Essence Soul voice transmission technique.

In the Myriad Ghost Cave that was hundreds of thousands of miles away.

“Make your move.”

“Activate the Heaven and Earth Sealing Great Array immediately.”

“Okay!”

“These Endless Abyss underground demons and the ghostly cultivators of the Nine Nether Ghost Sect are really bold to actually do such a thing.”

“Activate!”

This time, the Heaven Enlightenment Sect sent out nine Grand Elders. They stood at nine different spots in the Myriad Ghost Cave. They formed hand seals as monstrous Dharmic powers surged.

Countless array patterns spread.

At that moment, the Heaven and Earth Sealing Great Array that had been set up beforehand was activated. In an extremely short period of time, an incomparably vast array formation appeared in the sky above the Myriad Ghost Cave.

This formation diagram was completely bright red-gold in color. It had countless formation patterns and was filled with extremely profound fluctuations. Its diameter had even reached a hundred thousand meters.

The incomparably vast array formation completely sealed the entire Myriad Ghost Cave.

Heaven and Earth Sealing.

It almost completely severed the connection between the Myriad Ghost Cave and the outside world.

“Heaven and Earth Sealing Great Array.”

“This…”

“What’s going on? The Grand Elders actually set up the Heaven and Earth Sealing Great Array in the Myriad Ghost Cave. It will take a lot of time and effort to set up this array.”

“Things are not good.”

“How did the legacy competition become like this?”

“What happened?”

“…”

The elders and Peak Masters of the Heaven Enlightenment Sect looked at the scene from the projection. Their gazes were solemn, and they could not help but fall into deep thought.

“I see.”

Qi Ming looked at all of this and had already guessed a lot, “Sect Master Yang Li, are you waiting for the opportunity to capture all of them?”

Qi Ming had informed him that the legacy competition would be destroyed by the Endless Abyss and the Nine Nether Ghost Sect. Therefore, after Yang Li learned of this, not only did he not change the location of the legacy competition, but he had also set up the Heaven and Earth Sealing Great Array in the Myriad Ghost Cave.. He wanted to capture all the subordinates of the Endless Abyss and the Nine Nether Ghost Sect in one fell swoop and kill them all in the Myriad Ghost Cave.
