254: Entering the Seven Realms

Upon discovering that the Seal would automatically break in half a year, the people on the Profound Sword Continent side were no longer in a hurry to attack.

After all, even with four Seven Realm Great Emperors attacking simultaneously, they couldn't break through its defenses; continuing would only be futile.

To break it, an Eight-Realm Great Emperor would likely need to be deployed, and if they were to call out the Old Ancestor from their secluded cultivation just to avoid waiting half a year, the leaders among them would surely suffer.

Besides, it was only half a year; they could afford to wait.

After making their decision, Tong Yuan and the others also stopped wasting time; some turned and left, preparing to return after half a year, like the goatee-bearded man; others set up camp on the spot, waiting directly there, and more people chose the latter.

Tong Yuan, Poison Undying, and the Nine-tailed Fox Woman, for example, all chose to stay, forming a triangle around the spatial passage, constantly sensing the Seal with their Emperor's Will.

Around them were the other Great Emperors, and further out, all the powerful factions tacitly joined forces to blockade this sea area.

In their eyes, the Heaven Profound Continent on the other side of the spatial passage was already a piece of fat meat, and everyone wanted a bite; of course, devouring it alone would be even better.

However, none of the factions present had the strength to devour it alone, so they could only share it with others.

Even so, not everyone could get a seat at the table; smaller factions lacking strength and Loose Cultivators without backing were automatically excluded.

Only major factions and a very few powerful Loose Cultivators like Tong Yuan could participate in this matter.

Tong Yuan, perhaps angered by Bai Xiaochun, directly had the green ox immerse itself in the sea, while he himself sat cross-legged on its back.

Poison Undying and the Nine-tailed Fox Woman did the same; it seemed they all wanted to be the first to eat the crab.

On the spatial passage side, Bone Cultivator and the others did not leave but remained, observing this side through the Seal.

"These guys are so annoying."

Bai Xiaochun looked at the Cultivators flashing back and forth in the distant sky as if patrolling, then his gaze fell on Tong Yuan and Poison Undying, and he pouted, looking quite displeased.

Just before, after Tong Yuan and Poison Undying sat down, they directly used spiritual power to block their hearing.

Now, they couldn't fight each other, and getting angry would only make others laugh, so it was better to simply ignore the other party and turn a deaf ear.

"It seems these guys aren't planning to leave."

Bone Cultivator looked into the distance, seeming a bit helpless.

Qi Qing had also come here with the Zhao family for this operation; initially, Bone Cultivator thought the other party could use this opportunity to send back some intelligence, but unexpectedly, Tong Yuan and the two others would pull this stunt.

Three Seven Realm Great Emperors surrounded the spatial passage tightly, with a large number of lower-level Great Emperors or Quasi-Emperors and Great Saint Realm powerhouses patrolling outside.

Even beneath the sea, Cultivators entered to drive away all surrounding sea beasts, making the defense quite strict.

In this situation, sending intelligence was impossible.

However, fortunately, through the intelligence gathering of the previous period, they had understood almost everything they needed to know.

The importance of intelligence is self-evident, but it only plays a decisive role when both sides are relatively evenly matched.

As it is now, with one side capable of almost crushing the other, the role that intelligence can play is negligible.

Therefore, after completely losing intelligence on the other side, Bone Cultivator didn't pay too much attention; now, the other party could do nothing but quietly wait for the day the Seal breaks.

As for their side, they all relied on their Palace Master.

As Bone Cultivator pondered, he subconsciously turned around and looked at the motionless figure, as if sleeping, and his mood calmed down a bit.

He still remembered what his Palace Master said when he handed over Wuji Palace to him: just wait for him to awaken, and everything will be fine.

And his originally uneasy mood had already settled down after seeing his Palace Master break through two Realms within half a year.

Although he didn't know how his Palace Master did it, he knew that when the other party awakened, who was the hunter and who was the prey was still unknown.

Of course, besides that, Bone Cultivator also wanted to quickly hand the burden back; the pressure brought by such a position was not small, and his mind was constantly thinking about what to do now.

This was quite tormenting for Bone Cultivator, who had been resting for tens of thousands of years—no, tormenting the Dragon.

Buzz!

As Bone Cultivator pondered, an invisible fluctuation instantly spread out, and then he immediately felt a heaviness on his back, as if carrying a thousand-pound burden.

It wasn't just him; the others standing nearby were also affected; those like An Lan and Dragon Xiaoyao, who had broken through to the Fifth Realm, were fine, while Qing Luo and others, who were Quasi-Emperors, struggled under this Qi.

As for Yun Ling'er and the others, the moment they felt the pressure, a faint white light instantly lit up, and they immediately felt a lightness on their bodies.

The next moment, several long staffs flew out from their bodies, floating in front of them; they were precisely Lin Xiao's staffs, and at this moment, the weapons all emitted the latter's Qi, thereby offsetting that oppressive force.

The sudden change immediately attracted everyone's attention, and their gazes all turned to the high platform, looking at the figure sleeping with closed eyes on the seat, feeling the heavy pressure on their bodies, yet a joyful smile appeared on their faces.

"This is..."

And not only within the hall, the oppressive force emitted by Lin Xiao passed through the spatial passage to the other side; soon, the three people sitting there in meditative repose slightly stirred, as if affected by something, and their eyes slowly opened...
