222: Keep warm in a group

A conspiracy targeting Shen Xi and his group was unfolding.

Shen Xi and the others, however, were still unaware that they had been targeted by these Demon Beast Leaders from the very beginning.

At this moment, they were heading to Cultivation Method Cliff, seeking their next Opportunity.

By the time they arrived at Cultivation Method Cliff, it was already evening, with less than a few hours remaining until its opening.

However, the situation at Cultivation Method Cliff was clearly much more harmonious than at the Tower of the Heavens.

After all, the Tower of the Heavens had a time limit, and the number of slots for each entry was restricted to within a hundred people. Because of this, to avoid missing the Opportunity, these young Geniuses would fight fiercely to snatch a chance to enter the Tower.

But Cultivation Method Cliff was different.

Once Cultivation Method Cliff opened, everyone could enter, and it would remain open for three days, naturally leading to less competition than the Tower of the Heavens.

However, less competition was only temporary.

This was an experience and lesson summarized by the Seniors who had previously entered the Chasing Wind Secret Realm.

Currently, there was no competition at Cultivation Method Cliff because there were no conflicts of interest.

Once someone obtained any Cultivation Technique Legacy, they would be targeted by others, and that would be when the great battle would erupt.

Furthermore, this place was not like the Tower of the Heavens, where everyone fought their own battles; here, it was possible to encounter others at any time and any place.

This also led to many dark horse contestants in previous years being ganged up on at Cultivation Method Cliff, ultimately meeting their demise.

Especially the most dazzling and prominent ones, they were more likely to be targeted by everyone.

Such Geniuses were most likely to gain the recognition of Cultivation Method Cliff, thereby obtaining a Cultivation Technique Legacy, and also posed the greatest threat. There was once an instance where over a thousand young experts besieged a Heaven's Chosen One, leading to his tragic end.

It should be known that the Cultivation Technique Legacy obtained at Cultivation Method Cliff could be stolen, which meant this place would be extremely chaotic, with a danger level far exceeding that of the Tower of the Heavens.

"Shen Xi is here!"

"Is he the only one who passed the Tower of the Heavens?"

"The only one in thousands of years; his strength should definitely not be underestimated."

"He is very likely to obtain the Wind Chasing Swordplay. Following him is definitely the right choice."

"But his combat record is truly astonishing, and his combat power has reached the Early Stage of the Acquired Realm level, possibly even stronger."

"So what? In previous years, it's not as if such dark horses haven't appeared. As long as they haven't achieved a Breakthrough to the Martial Dao Five Realms, they won't be able to escape unscathed under a siege."

"That's right. Besides, he's not the only one at the Early Stage of the Acquired Realm level. It is rumored that this time, there are even powerhouses at the Greater Completion of the Acquired Realm level."

Seeing Shen Xi and his group arrive, everyone couldn't help but discuss animatedly.

After that battle at the Tower of the Heavens, Shen Xi's reputation soared. While not everyone knew him, anyone who paid even a little attention knew his name.

Now, hearing the introductions from others, everyone matched Shen Xi's name with his appearance, knowing that he was the extraordinary individual who had been the only one to conquer the Tower of the Heavens since the Chasing Wind Secret Realm opened.

"It seems Brother Shen has become a celebrity now,"

"This is not a good thing; he will be targeted by many people."

"I finally understand why Brother Shen's combat experience is so rich; he really attracts too much hostility and easily draws many enemies."

"It seems that's the case."

Liu Yiyi and the others teased.

Everyone felt honored by Shen Xi's rising fame.

Although being targeted by so many young Geniuses from different forces brought some pressure, pressure was also motivation. How many people wished for this kind of pressure but didn't have the Opportunity!

Furthermore, could the pressure brought by these people compare to the immense pressure from so many Yao Beasts in the Seal?

That was a true life-and-death struggle, and whenever they fought, it was to the death, without any hesitation.

Honestly, after experiencing continuous life-and-death battles in the Seal, Liu Yiyi and the others felt that the battles among Martial Artists were like children playing house, especially the battles among these young people, which seemed insignificant.

"Don't think that way."

Shen Xi, seeing everyone's thoughts, reminded them in a low voice.

"In this world, the most terrifying thing is not Yao Beasts, but Martial Artists."

"Yao Beasts rarely use schemes and tricks, but Martial Artists are different; they set traps, coerce, entice, and employ various endless methods."

"If you let your guard down, you will only fall into an abyss of no return."

This was the experience Shen Xi had accumulated over two lifetimes.

Indeed, these Martial Artists in front of them were too young. In terms of combat experience and worldly wisdom, they were far inferior to the pressure brought by the Yao Beasts in the Seal.

But even so, one still could not let their guard down.

Humans are the most complex creatures in this world, and also the creatures most adept at using their minds.

Overcoming superiors with inferiors, and the weak defeating the strong, has appeared from ancient times. This is the importance of strategy.

When Shen Xi left Zhu Feng City, he was pursued by Old Ninth, and it was also by relying on strategy that he defeated his opponent.

One can imagine that if he relaxed his vigilance, the consequences would be unimaginable, and he wouldn't even know how he died.

"We understand."

"Whether it's Martial Artists or Yao Beasts, we cannot let our guard down."

"In this regard, we are far inferior to Brother Shen; his combat experience is truly too rich."

"From now on, conflicts can erupt at any time. We must always remain vigilant and not give the enemy any Opportunity."

Everyone quickly spoke.

Their attitude was no longer as casual as before; they cautiously scanned their surroundings.

It was only then that everyone finally realized that, after this period of development, the situation within the Chasing Wind Secret Realm had clearly undergone significant changes.

On one hand, the number of powerhouses was increasing.

New faces that had not been seen in the Tower of the Heavens had become more numerous.

Moreover, the combat power of these individuals was all at the Xiantian Realm level.

On the other hand, many powerhouses began to band together for warmth.

Looking around, there were several groups of powerhouses with Xiantian Realm level combat power gathered together, with the smallest having three to five people, and the largest reaching over a dozen.

It seemed that these powerhouses also felt the immense pressure within the Chasing Wind Secret Realm and had to join forces; otherwise, fighting alone would easily lead to accidents.

"The weakest are all at the Initial Stage of Acquired Realm, and some powerhouses have also achieved a Breakthrough to the Xiantian Realm. It seems they have all obtained many Opportunities."

Chen Fang said with a solemn expression.

Within the Chasing Wind Secret Realm, they were not the only lucky ones; others also had their own unique Opportunities.

Everyone's Realm was rapidly improving. Based on the current trend, this was definitely the highest-quality cohort in history; there were simply too many powerhouses.

"That person... is very strong, very terrifying..."
