Chapter 1148: Chapter 1043:
"Brother Luo, do you think the information in the Jade Slip is reliable?"
Not far from the Teleportation Array, a group of Integration Cultivators were hidden within a Formation, discussing.
In front of them lay a Jade Slip and a re-sealed Jade Box.
"The eighth-grade Spiritual Object was indeed freshly dug out from the ground, and the matter mentioned in the Jade Slip could also be true, but the person spreading the news definitely has ill intentions," Brother Luo, watched by his junior brothers and sisters, said thoughtfully.
He knew that everyone was tempted by the secret land, as described beautifully in the Jade Slip, boasting tens of thousands of high-grade Spiritual Objects; how could they resist such temptation.
If it weren’t for Brother Luo’s responsibility towards his junior brothers and sisters, maintaining a bit of calm, perhaps he would have also set off in search of the secret Spirit Land.
"So, what should we do next?"
"We must hurry and leave the Secret Realm! Those major powers will definitely get wind of this and might seal off the realm to prevent us from leaving, especially those of us who are privy to this insider information, we might even be eliminated," Brother Luo said gravely.
In the face of greed, life is the best sobering factor, but if even that doesn’t work, then good luck to him.
Fortunately, Brother Luo held some prestige in the hearts of his junior brothers and sisters, and they did not lose their reason to greed. Hearing his words, they all started moving toward the Teleportation Array.
Other Cultivators who had found the Jade Slip and Spiritual Objects also made the rational decision to leave quickly, but some believed it was an opportunity for further advancement and stayed in the Secret Realm to search for that place filled with numerous Spiritual Objects.
Soon, the Cultivators from the major powers guarding the Teleportation Array learned of this matter.
They then made a very foolish move, which was to shut down the Teleportation Array!
This action made the Cultivators who were still doubtful suddenly believe the rumor, and various thoughts emerged among the crowd.
By the time the leaders of major powers in Mount Kunlun State received various reports, their first action was to dispatch Array Masters to the Thousand Islands Secret Realm, pretending to repair the Formation.
And they issued a notice saying that the Teleportation Array had encountered some issues and they were working urgently on repairs, which was somewhat of a cover-up for their foolish action.
However, this could only conceal the truth temporarily, as it was impossible to keep all Cultivators locked in the Secret Realm indefinitely. Doing so could possibly lead to the fragmentation of the entire East Continent Immortal Tao.
"Why did this news erupt so suddenly? Did those Cultivators from the Five-colored Secret Realm also go to the Thousand Islands Secret Realm, or did they have premeditated plans to make this matter public?"
All the major powers were discussing this and trying to resolve it, hoping to prevent the spread of the news.
The simplest and most effective method was to deal with it right at the source, but since they couldn’t find the mastermind behind, and lacked useful information, they had to proceed from other aspects.
Unfortunately, while they were discussing countermeasures, Mount Kunlun State was already buzzing with rumors, and one could see Spirit Boats and streams of Spirit Light ascending, flying to various places at the highest speed. 𝘯𝘰𝑣𝘱𝑢𝘣.𝑐𝑜𝑚
It could be said that for thousands of years, there had never been such a large number of Cultivators so eager to leave Mount Kunlun State.
The powers in State Domains closest to Mount Kunlun State were the first to know, which caused much dissatisfaction among many powers, but they also understood that alone, they could not make the major powers concede. Only by uniting could they potentially gain from this situation.
Thus, various forces began frequent exchanges, discussing collective actions.
Once all the major powers knew about this, they instantly realized the matter couldn’t be hidden anymore, so they very squarely abandoned the idea of continuing the cover-up.
"The best method now is to ally with one faction and take down another. This way, we can quickly resolve the negative impacts and also share out fewer benefits,"
As the situation developed to this point, not offering some benefits would not calm the situation; their goal was to achieve just that.
The Sect Leader nodded in agreement, looked at the other Elders, and asked, "This is indeed a good idea; do any other Elders have better suggestions?"
The Elders remained silent, unable to think of a better method.
"Since that’s the case, let’s discuss with the other powers and choose which factions to align with," the Sect Leader said, a hint of fatigue showing on his face.
Recently, due to the discovery of a secret base in the Secret Realm, everyone had been very busy, all trying to resolve this incident. As one trouble subsided, another arose, eventually forcing them to give up some of their own interests.
...
As Li Zhirui had predicted, Mount Kunlun State became chaotic due to this news.
Cultivators from all forces were constantly probing and gathering related intelligence, and a large number of Cultivators registered to enter the opening Secret Realms.
Clearly, they all wanted to find the rumored place filled with various high-grade Spiritual Objects.
Faced with this situation, the major powers controlling the Secret Realm could not refuse entry, only allowing them to go in.
And indeed, a Secret Realm was discovered by the Cultivators, filled with precious Spiritual Objects and dazzling brilliant Spirit Light, stirring up surging emotions and quickly rooting seeds of greed.
However, this place was already guarded by someone; alone, he could not possibly gain the Spiritual Objects.
