182: Chapter 182 The First Person Recorded in History

I told you to leave earlier, but you insisted on staying.

Well, this is great, you've left for good!

"Safe travels..."

Glancing at the corpses scattered around on the ground, the Youth in White Robes had no ripples in his eyes.

Along this journey, he had seen many such incidents of highway robbery and murder for treasure.

These people who chose the wrong target all ended up with the same fate as the Man in Black.

...

Black Cloud Mountain Range, inside the canyon where everyone had gathered.

"Hum, hum, hum!"

Suddenly, a humming sound startled Yun Chenfei, who was resting with his eyes closed.

"Look quickly, the Sages Grotto-Heaven is about to fully open."

"Don't push, don't push!"

"Ah, who's touching my butt!"

As the Sages Grotto-Heaven slowly opened, the people in the valley began to crowd forward frantically.

Glancing at the crowd scrambling to get to the entrance of the Sages Grotto-Heaven, Yun Chenfei slowly closed his eyes again.

"Brother Yun, are you not anxious at all?"

Seeing this, Tie Yueshan asked.

"The entrance hasn't fully opened yet, what's there to be anxious about?"

"Besides, just any Tom, Dick, or Harry can't enter this Sages Grotto-Heaven."

Glancing at Tie Yueshan, Yun Chenfei said indifferently.

After a burst of humming, a transparent light gate slowly appeared in the depths of the valley.

Watching the slowly forming transparent light gate, it wasn't just Yun Chenfei who remained in place.

Ran Xueyao and Lin Feiyu were also looking at that transparent light gate with interest, showing no intention of moving to enter.

"Look, the entrance has appeared!"

"Get out of my way, those who block me will die!"

"Charge!"

...

The other Cultivators were the complete opposite, all swarming toward the transparent light gate.

In order to seize the initiative and be the first to enter the Sages Grotto-Heaven, some Cultivators even resorted to drawing their blades and fighting each other.

For a moment, the sounds of battle shook the sky, and various blade radiances and Sword Qi filled the valley.

Soon, someone charged up to the front of the transparent light gate.

"Bang, bang!"

"Ouch!"

"What's going on? Why was I bounced back?"

"This transparent light gate is tricky."

Seeing that the people rushing in front were blocked by the transparent light gate, the other Cultivators immediately stopped their attacks and began to watch quietly.

The originally noisy valley slowly quieted down.

It was just as Yun Chenfei had said; not just anyone could enter this transparent light gate.

"A bunch of ignorant fools!"

"How could just anyone who wants to enter the Sages Grotto-Heaven be able to?"

"Those without the strength should leave as soon as possible. Even if you get in, you won't be able to pass through the trial mountain forest on the outermost periphery of the Sages Grotto-Heaven."

At this moment, the Hedao Realm elder on the giant rock said coldly.

"Isn't this Sages Grotto-Heaven like the Fallen Sacred Domain from last time, where anyone can enter?"

"A Sages Grotto-Heaven actually has a threshold for entry? The Fallen Sacred Domain didn't have so many rules."

"It's better to have a threshold. Didn't you see how many people died in the Fallen Sacred Domain last time? I'm afraid less than one in ten came out alive, right?"

"How can that be the same? The Fallen Sacred Domain had Soul Devouring Beasts descending, which is why so many people died. Surely there won't be Soul Devouring Beasts here too, right?"

...

Hearing this, everyone around started discussing.

"This Senior, may I ask what conditions are needed to enter this Sages Grotto-Heaven, or rather, what requirements must be met?"

A Loose Cultivator asked.

"To enter the Sages Grotto-Heaven, you need at least the strength equivalent to the Middle Stage of the Spirit Refining Realm, otherwise, I'm afraid you won't even be able to break through this transparent light gate."

"Let alone passing through the trial mountain forest on the outermost periphery of the Sages Grotto-Heaven."

After scanning the crowd, the Hedao Realm elder on the giant rock said indifferently.

"Middle Stage of the Spirit Refining Realm?"

"Doesn't that mean that at least a Fourth Grade Spirit Refining Realm Cultivator can enter?"

A Third Grade Spirit Refining Realm Cultivator said.

"Not necessarily. Didn't you hear what that Senior said? At least equivalent to the Middle Stage of the Spirit Refining Realm. As long as you can break this light gate, you can enter."

"In other words, as long as your attack power is sharp enough, even a Qi Nurturing Realm Cultivator can enter."

Hearing this, another Cultivator said.

Then, a Sixth Grade Spirit Refining Realm Cultivator fiercely swung a blade, slashing toward the transparent light gate.

The brilliant blade radiance, as soon as it touched the light gate, instantly turned into a white light, wrapping around the Sixth Grade Spirit Refining Realm Cultivator.

Then, with a flash of light, the figure of that Sixth Grade Spirit Refining Realm Cultivator disappeared from the spot.

"That person has disappeared!"

"He must have been teleported to the Sages Grotto-Heaven."

"Move aside, let me try!"

At this moment, a Second Grade Spirit Refining Realm Cultivator suddenly appeared directly in front of the transparent light gate.

"Sword's Elegance!"

Accompanied by a soft shout, a cyan Sword Qi fiercely slammed onto the light gate.

But this time, no white light flashed out.

Seeing that, the cyan Sword Qi was reflecting back toward that Second Grade Spirit Refining Realm Cultivator at a speed even faster than before.

"Ah!"

After a scream, that Second Grade Spirit Refining Realm Cultivator was cut into two by the incoming Sword Qi.

A breeze blew by, and a faint smell of blood drifted with the wind, as if to warn everyone:

Cherish your life, stay away from the light gate!

"Hiss!"

"This is probably the first Cultivator in history to die by his own Sword Qi."

"He can be called the First Person in Recorded History!"

"It seems it really is as that Senior said; one must have at least the strength of the Middle Stage of the Spirit Refining Realm to enter."

Looking at the two halves of the corpse still warm in the pool of blood, everyone gasped.

Those Cultivators who lacked the strength all stared at the transparent light gate with fearful expressions.

Then, a commotion broke out in the valley.

A moment later, the area in front of the transparent light gate became empty, with only a few people left standing there.

Even some Cultivators whose cultivation had reached the Middle Stage of the Spirit Refining Realm had faces filled with gravity.

They were afraid that their attacks would not reach the level required to break the light gate, and thus be bounced back, becoming the second Cultivator in history to die by their own attack.

"Move aside, you bunch of cowards, watch me!"

"We Cultivators are supposed to struggle against the heavens for our lives. With your timid and fearful personalities, how can you ever seize any Opportunity!"

At this moment, an old, decrepit, white-haired Third Grade Spirit Refining Realm Cultivator said.

From his wrinkled face and the faint Death Qi faintly emanating from his body, it was not hard to see that this person's Lifespan was running out, and his time was short.

And his purpose for coming here this time was self-evident.

Seeing the old man, with his hunched back and a ferocious expression, standing in front of the transparent light gate.

"Mountain Opening Palm!"

Suddenly, a huge crimson palm shadow was emitted from the old man's hand, and then it carried a thunderous momentum as it shot rapidly toward the transparent light gate.

Everyone's eyes also closely followed that crimson palm shadow in mid-air.

"Boom!"

A deafening roar, mixed with echoes, instantly resounded throughout the entire valley.
