Chapter 2758 - Revealing The Secret


    After that Ancient Era’s Serpent n’s elder approached, Elder Xingyi asked, “Exactly what is it that made you all refuse to let others climb the mountain?”


    “This is a decision that our n’s Lord n Chief and Utmost Exalted Elders made,” The Ancient Era’s Serpent nsman said.


    “What sort of decision?” Elder Xingyi asked.


    “Regarding this...” The Ancient Era’s Serpent n’s elder revealed a difficult expression.


    “Speak,” Elder Xingyi’s gaze turned sharp.


    The expression of fear on that Ancient Era’s Serpent n’s elder grew even more intense. He did not dare to hesitate, and immediately said, “A choice. It is a choice.”


    He was extremely afraid of Elder Xingyi.


    “What sort of choice? Speak clearly,” Elder Xingyi spoke impatiently.


    “This time around, our n’s Lord n Chief and Utmost Exalted Elders have jointly set up these spirit formations.”


    “They have also set up a grand maze formation on the heaven-reaching mountain range. If one were to enter the mountain range, one would have entered the maze. Only by walking out of the maze would one be able to enter Buried Spirit Lake.”


    “Otherwise... one will be trapped in the maze formation until it disappears by itself. Only then would one be able to escape the maze,” That Ancient Era’s Serpent n’s elder said.


    “What sort of nonsense is this? Isn’t this deliberately making things difficult for others?”


    “That’s right! Why have we traveled far and wide toe here?”


    “We have alle here for the sake of Buried Spirit Lake. Yet now, you’re telling us that we will have to go through some sort of maze in order to enter it. Isn’t this a clear act of bullying?”


    At that moment, many people present were unable to contain themselves, and started to voice their displeasure.


    “One will also have to attempt to gainprehension after entering Buried Spirit Lake. If one cannotprehend anything, entering Buried Spirit Lake will be meaningless.”


    “Although Buried Spirit Lake is the most precious aspect of the Spirit Formation Immortal Domain, the power contained in Buried Spirit Lake has been growing weaker and weaker. In turn, it is bing more and more difficult for one to obtainprehension from it.”


    “If one’sprehension ability is insufficient, one will not be able to obtain anything even after entering it.”


    “I believe this is not the first time for many of the people here to arrive at our Spirit Formation Immortal Domain. You have all entered Buried Spirit Lake before too. Likely, you’ve all returned empty-handed, right?” That Ancient Era’s Serpent n’s elder looked to the crowd as he said those words.


    At that moment, many people lowered their heads. It was as that Ancient Era’s Serpent n’s elder said, the power of Buried Spirit Lake had been decreasing. If one did not possess sufficientprehension, even if one were to enter Buried Spirit Lake and encounter the erupting power, one would not be able toprehend anything.


    Thus, many people ended up returning empty-handed.


    “Thus, this time around, our Lord n Chief has decided to give everyone a choice,” That Ancient Era’s Serpent n’s elder said.


    “Choice? What sort of choice?” The crowd asked.


    “Apart from setting up a maze formation, our Lord n Chief and Utmost Exalted Elders have also set up a grand formation outside this heaven-reaching mountain range.”


    “That grand formation was set up by integrating with the special power of the Spirit Formation Immortal Domain. If one is to enter that spirit formation, one will most definitely gain a harvest. Of course, that harvest will be dependent on everyone’sprehension ability.”


    “That being said, the power of that spirit formation will intensify when the power within Buried Spirit Lake erupts. Compared to entering Buried Spirit Lake, the harvest from that spirit formation will likely be bigger,” That Ancient Era’s Serpent n’s elder said.


    “In other words, if we choose to ascend the mountain, we will not be able to enter that spirit formation to train. If we choose to enter that spirit formation, we will not be able to climb the mountain?” Someone asked.


    “That is precisely the case,” That Ancient Era’s Serpent n’s elder said.


    “If that’s the case, you should’ve told us that directly. Why did you leave us out to dry here?”


    “That’s right,” The crowd echoed in a very displeased manner.


    “Actually, I shouldn’t have told you about this at all. ording to the orders of our Lord n Chief, you will all soon enter a spirit formation. Upon entering it, you will be able to choose between two paths. One path will lead to the cultivation formation, while the other one will lead to the maze formation.”


    “However, regardless of which path you choose, you will not be able to turn around.”


    After that Ancient Era’s Serpent n’s elder finished saying those words, he looked to Elder Xingyi.


    At that moment, the crowd present all came to understand.


    This was a game set up by the Ancient Era’s Serpent n. It would all be dependent on them as to how they would y the game.


    The words spoken by that Ancient Era’s Serpent n’s elder earlier had revealed the most crucial secret regarding the game.


    It was all thanks to Elder Xingyi that the crowd was able to be fortunate enough to know about that crucial secret.


    Thus, at that moment, the crowd all cast thankful gazes toward Elder Xingyi.


    Right at that moment, Han Yu stood forth. With an extremely ill-intended gaze, he said, “Elder, you spoke those words in such a matter-of-course manner, but do you really think that your n’s actions are correct?”


    “The Spirit Formation Immortal Domain has existed since the Ancient Era. It has always been deemed as a sacred training ground by the Great Chiliocosm Upper Realm’s many world spiritists.”


    “Yet now, your Ancient Era’s Serpent n has altered the rules to enter Buried Spirit Lake of your own ord. Do you all really think that your actions were right?”


    “How is it not right?” Right at that moment, a loud and resounding voice was suddenly heard.


    At the same time as that voice was heard, a figure appeared before the crowd.


    It was another Ancient Era’s Serpent nsman. Merely,pared to the other Ancient Era’s Serpent nsman, he was much bigger and more robust. Furthermore, his outfit was also very distinctive.


    On his body was a suit of golden armor. On his head was a golden crown. Draped over his shoulders was a red mantle. Adding on to the tall and robust build that Ancient Era’s Serpent nsman possessed, he appeared especially domineering as he stood there.


    Most importantly, that individual’s aura was extremely deep and robust. When he appeared, hepletely overshadowed everyone present.


    Even the Starfall Eight Immortals were unable to match his aura.


    “......”


    Upon seeing that individual, Han Yu’s expression changed greatly. Chu Feng was able to clearly see a single emotion in his eyes: fear.


    “We pay our respects to Lord n Chief.”


    After that individual appeared, all of the Ancient Era’s Serpent nsmen hurriedly half-kneeled onto the ground and greeted that individual respectfully.


    At that moment, Chu Feng realized who that domineering existence was without even needing an introduction.


    Evidently, he was the Ancient Era’s Serpent n’s n chief.


    “The Spirit Formation Immortal Domain is our Ancient Era’s Serpent n’s territory. We possess absolute authority over the Spirit Formation Immortal Domain.”


    “We can do whatever we wish. Even if we are to decide to not allow you all to enter this ce, you all will not be able to enter.”


    “Thus, I would like to ask instead, what wrong did our Ancient Era’s Serpent nmit?”


    The Ancient Era’s Serpent n’s n Chief stared closely at Han Yu with his sharp and domineering gaze.


    “This junior was hot-headed. I hope senior does not take offense,” Han Yu hurriedly sped his fist and admitted his mistake. He did not even dare to raise his head.


    At that moment, Chu Feng noticed that not only was Han Yu’s expression ugly, he was also sweating cold beads.


    His pride and arrogance had disappearedpletely. At that moment, the only thing remaining in him was fear.


    After Han Yu apologized sincerely, the Ancient Era’s Serpent n’s n Chief merely red at him once and then decided to pay no more attention to him.


    “Does anyone else have an objection?”


    At that moment, the Ancient Era’s Serpent n’s n Chief turned his gaze to the crowd. It was an extremely dominating gaze. It was as if he did not ce anyone here in his eyes.


    Furthermore, he kept the same gaze the entire time. Not only did he turn that sort of gaze at Chu Feng and the others, but his gaze remained the same even when itnded on the Starfall Eight Immortals.


    In other words, he did not ce the Starfall Eight Immortals in his eyes either.


    No one answered his question. Not even the Starfall Eight Immortals answered him.


    “If there’s no objection, thenply with the rules of our Ancient Era’s Serpent n. I will remind you all of this: if anyone dares to pester us endlessly again, do not me our Ancient Era’s Serpent n for bing impolite.”


    “Although it is true that those who have arrived are guests, I must remind everyone of one phrase too. That is, guests should follow the rules of the host.”


    “Thus, I hope that no one creates inconveniences and troubles for our Ancient Era’s Serpent n.”


    After the Ancient Era’s Serpent n’s n Chief finished saying those words, he turned around and looked to the Ancient Era’s Serpent n’s elder that had exined what was happening to Chu Feng and the others.


    “Bang~~~”


    Suddenly, he shot forth his fist. His fist directly knocked that Ancient Era’s Serpent n’s elder several meters away. When hended, he waspletely bloodied, and his breathing had ceased.


    “A disgrace to our Ancient Era’s Serpent n. Toss him into the Traitor’s Pool.”


    After the Ancient Era’s Serpent n’s n Chief finished saying those words, he waved his sleeve, soared into the sky and left without a second thought.


    He left behind apletely stunned crowd.
