297: Chapter 297 The Prototype of a Magic Weapon

Seeing that there were only two thunder spirit fruits, the four of them looked at each other.

One of them smiled and said, "It seems only two of us can get them!"

"Not necessarily, perhaps only one person?" Another person was full of gloom in both temperament and tone.

"Fellow Daoists, let's dig them up first and distribute them later, how about that?" said Qin Yuan from the Rogue Cultivators Alliance.

In terms of cultivation, he was not the highest, but in terms of combat power, he was undeniably the first among the four. Because his Purple Mansion exceeded three zhang, he was an absolute Genius in the Rogue Cultivators Alliance and even in Heiyuan Valley.

Therefore, everyone was willing to give him some Face. Moreover, compared to this thunder spirit fruit, they had other more important things to do.

After all, the Rogue Cultivators Alliance had dispatched a Pseudo-Core Realm Expert this time, and the Five Sects had also dispatched a Pseudo-Core Realm Expert.

Within the cognition of all Cultivators in Heiyuan Valley, from strongest to weakest, the Four Major Factions were the Rogue Cultivators Alliance, the Five Sects, the Pill Hall, and then Nightfall.

In fact, it was indeed the case.

The Rogue Cultivators Alliance possessed a full four Golden Core Masters, and under their command were two Pseudo-Core Realm Experts.

As for the Five Sects, they seemingly only had one Golden Core Master, but in reality, the Old Ancestor of the Soul Refining Sect was suspected to also be a Golden Core Master, except that the other party had not appeared for many years, and it was unknown whether they were dead or alive.

The Old Ancestors of the other three Sects were all Pseudo-Core Realm Experts.

The Pill Hall had two Golden Core Masters, but they didn't have a single Pseudo-Core Realm Expert. Therefore, this time they were actually at a bit of a disadvantage, just like Nightfall.

It wasn't that Nightfall didn't have a Pseudo-Core Realm Expert, but rather that the assassin ranked second on the Assassin Rankings had never actively participated in any struggle for benefits.

Not to mention backing Nightfall, as long as others offered enough benefits, he could even stand on the enemy's side and make a move against Nightfall.

Of course, that was just speaking theoretically; the price to pay for him to make a move once was far too exorbitant. If he were asked to deal with Nightfall, the price would have to rise even further.

Now, the Four Major Factions, together with the Purple Palace Cultivators of the Tianli Sect and the three Pseudo-Core Realm Experts, totaling around twenty people, had all gathered outside the Treasure Pavilion of the Qishan Sect.

Previously, when they headed to the main hall, although they had all harvested a few resources, those resources were not much to them.

However, this Treasure Pavilion seemed to have never been touched by anyone.

If that was the case, what was stored inside was the heritage accumulated by the Qishan Sect over thousands of years.

The treasures stored by a Golden Core Sect over thousands of years made one's heart race just thinking about it.

Of course, places related to the rise and fall of a Sect naturally had a Formation guarding them. Moreover, this Formation would autonomously absorb Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi to repair itself automatically, and there was no possibility of it weakening due to the passage of time.

Their five factions had dispatched three Formation Masters. They had been trying to crack the Formation for several hours yet still had no clues. According to what several of them said, it would probably take another few days.

After all, the trickiness of a Tier 4 Formation was not something that a mere few Purple Palace Cultivators could easily resolve. At most, they could find the flaws of the Formation and then forcefully reverse it with the strength of everyone.

Opening a path sufficient for them to pass through.

After a few days passed like this, those Purple Palace Cultivators finally found the weakness of this Formation, and had all Purple Palace Cultivators exert their strength together at the same time.

The three Pseudo-Core Realm Experts watched this scene without participating.

Among them, two people from the Rogue Cultivators Alliance and the Five Sects exchanged a glance at an imperceptible speed. Beside them, the Purple Palace Cultivator from the Tianli Sect did not notice them; his attention was entirely on the Formation.

Boom!

Twenty-five Purple Palace Cultivators struck simultaneously, which included the four people who had previously searched for the thunder spirit fruit tree.

Joining hands together, before long, they battered out a passage through the Tier 4 Formation.

"Hurry inside, this passage can only maintain itself for three days. Collect as many treasures as possible during these three days," shouted one of the Formation Masters.

The three Pseudo-Core Realm Experts made their move first, charging toward the treasure vault, closely followed by the other twenty-odd Purple Palace Cultivators.

Following them, the Foundation Establishment Cultivators of the five major factions also entered together.

Apart from them, those Purple Palace Cultivators who had been eyeing them for a long time also appeared at this moment. Their target was likewise the treasure vault, but alas, these five major factions occupied the place and did not allow anyone else to approach; otherwise, they would have come long ago.

Behind these people, quite a few Foundation Establishment Cultivators also came forward.

These Foundation Establishment Cultivators were gathered by them during this period of time, with the purpose of having them go to the Treasure Pavilion together to share the anger of the five major factions.

...

A few days later.

A remote corner finally welcomed other Cultivators.

"What are you planning to do next? The Four Major Factions of Heiyuan Valley, led by the Rogue Cultivators Alliance, have blockaded the Qishan Sect and now do not allow anyone to enter or leave," one of them said angrily.

"Sigh, there's no help for it. A few days ago, these factions opened the passage into the Treasure Pavilion, and as a result, that Pseudo-Core Realm Expert from the Tianli Sect obtained a Magic Treasure prototype, which instantly aroused the covetous desires of the other two Pseudo-Core Realm Experts." His companion beside him was also filled with indignation, but having no other recourse, could only hide here.

"Indeed! It is said that that Elder of the Tianli Sect relied on the Magic Treasure prototype to forcefully injure the Pseudo-Core Realm Experts of the Rogue Cultivators Alliance and the Five Sects, and then escaped after repelling the encirclement of more than a dozen Purple Palace Cultivators. If not for another Pseudo-Core Realm Expert lurking in the shadows, that Elder of the Tianli Sect would have gotten away completely." Another person also chimed in.

"However, that Magic Treasure prototype is truly formidable, actually allowing that mediocre-combat-power Elder of the Tianli Sect to single-handedly fight three Pseudo-Core Realm Experts and still escape in the end. No wonder those three Pseudo-Core Realm Experts covet that Magic Treasure prototype so much." The first person sighed with emotion.

"I wonder how things are outside right now? Now the Four Major Factions have blockaded the Qishan Sect and will never rest until they capture that Elder of the Tianli Sect. Speaking of which, are we really safe hiding here? They are now deliberately finding opportunities to make a move against us Loose Cultivators." Someone said worriedly.

At his words, the other few people also began to worry.

Not far from them, the stone door of an Immortal Cave hidden among the mountain forest quietly opened.

If no one looked closely at this place, they would have no idea that someone was in secluded cultivation here.

The two people who emerged from the Immortal Cave were precisely Chen Changqing and Li Qingling.

During this period of time, Chen Changqing had consumed two thunder spirit fruits, and his cultivation had surged, already entering the fifth layer of the Purple Mansion.

As for Li Qingling, after also consuming two, she had gone from the previous first layer of the Purple Mansion to the current second layer of the Purple Mansion.

The strength of both of them had improved quite a bit during this period.

Take Chen Changqing for example; he could now condense five cyan flood dragons. Once the five cyan flood dragons appeared simultaneously, even a Pseudo-Core Realm Expert would not dare to take them lightly.

Li Qingling's improvement was also substantial. Previously, she already possessed the combat power of the sixth layer of the Purple Mansion, and now that she had broken through to the second layer of the Purple Mansion, her erupted combat power had already surpassed the Perfection of the sixth layer of the Purple Mansion.

If the two of them joined forces, not to mention being able to defeat a Pseudo-Core Realm Expert, when facing a Pseudo-Core Realm Expert, they truly would not fear them.
