388: Beyond inheritance, the target of public criticism!

The crowd sat down cross-legged, and Immortal Qi slowly entered their bodies.

Boom—!

The majestic, gentle, yet incredibly pure Immortal Qi instantly exploded in everyone's Meridians!

The feeling was like parched earth welcoming sweet rain, like a long-imprisoned captive regaining freedom!

The body's fatigue and hidden injuries were instantly repaired, and the stagnant cultivation Bottleneck began to loosen dramatically!

An unprecedented sense of powerful strength and comfort filled their entire bodies!

"Ah!!"

Yang Pingyuan couldn't help but let out an extremely comfortable groan, feeling his body light and airy, as if he was about to Ascend!

"My Bottleneck... it's loosened! Oh my God!"

Another team member trembled with excitement.

"This... this Immortal Qi... it's too powerful! It's tens of thousands of times stronger than a Top-Grade Spirit Stone! My problem of unstable Foundation after just breaking through was almost instantly repaired by this Immortal Qi!"

Zhuo Yongyi felt the surging power within him, his voice trembling, his eyes filled with ecstasy and disbelief!

Seeing this, Wuji Daoren and Lü Chengtian also began to Cultivate on the spot.

They had previously been distracted, constantly focusing on Su Lin Yun's safety, but now they finally had free time, so they quickly devoted their entire body and mind to comprehending their Origin.

...

The Saint Lord Inheritance stone gate, after being activated by Su Lin Yun, had completely revealed itself. It stood about ten zhang tall, towering over the shattered plain on the outskirts of the ruins, like the fangs of an ancient beast.

The towering, milky-white Holy Light pillar burst forth from within the stone gate, exuding a terrifying yet incredibly desirable majesty and vastness.

This plain was located in the western part of the outer perimeter, and originally only various minor factions searched for Immortal Demon Beasts gathering places here, making it relatively desolate.

However, with the emergence of the Saint Lord Inheritance, at this moment, the area in front of the stone gate was no longer desolate; instead, it was bustling with people, their auras mixed, and crowds of people surrounded the Legacy stone gate three layers deep, inside and out.

Almost all factions with some renown or strength in the entire ruins had gathered here!

Figures flickered, banners stood tall, and according to their strength, they clearly occupied the areas around the stone gate.

The air was filled with various auras.

Greed, impatience, wariness, and a thick, palpable tension.

The Cultivators of Chiyun Sword Sect stood with their swords held, each with eyes as sharp as eagles, their Sword Qi hidden but cutting through the air. Sword Zhengqing, the leader, had his sword-like brows tightly furrowed, his gaze like lightning, coldly sweeping over the stone gate and the other factions.

The Disciples of Wen Yuan Temple appeared much calmer, mostly sitting cross-legged, holding Buddhist beads, and softly chanting Buddhist names.

They wore kasayas, imbued with the profound aura of scriptures. The elderly leader held a monastic staff, and a faint light flowed from his fingertips, as if he was calculating something.

The Cultivators of Xiaoyao Sect were more relaxed, either sitting or lying down, chatting and laughing, but the sharp glint deep in their eyes betrayed their vigilance. The leader was a handsome middle-aged man holding a jade flute, a smile on his lips, but his eyes were incredibly sharp.

The most pleasing to the eye were the female Cultivators of Yaochi Holy Land.

Every female Cultivator was dressed in white like snow, with unparalleled grace. Gathered together, they were as clear and cold as starlight, as pure and holy as the bright moon.

The leader, Elder Qing Lian Shan of Yaochi Holy Land, had an exceptionally stunning demeanor. She wore a moon-white palace dress with flowing cloud sleeves, her skin like congealed cream, and her long skirt gently draped to her ankles, revealing half of her jade feet.

In addition to her temperament, Qing Lian Shan also possessed an incredibly proud figure. Just by standing there quietly, she already attracted countless surreptitious glances from the surrounding Cultivators.

As for openly staring, the people from the surrounding factions didn't have such courage.

Qing Lian Shan's eyelids were slightly lowered as she faintly gazed at the stone gate.

Besides the Four Great Factions, another one in the central area was the Six Vein Alliance.

Although it was called the Six Vein Alliance, it could basically be referred to as five veins now. Qingming Pulse currently only had a large number of Disciples remaining, with the highest cultivation being around Mahayana, no longer worthy of being compared with the other five veins.

The Five Vein Alliance, led by Celestial Pivot Vein Master Xuan Tianhong, was flanked by the Sect Masters and core Elders and Disciples of Fenxiao, Xuanyuan, Chongyue, and Huanhai.

They occupied the area closest to the right side of the stone gate. All the Sect Masters were incredibly nervous and fearful. While other factions could accept the Legacy being obtained by others, they absolutely could not!

...

Everyone's gaze was fixed on that seemingly ancient stone gate.

On the surface of the stone gate, a layer of colorful light membrane, rippling like water, was clearly visible, emitting a powerful and ancient Seal power.

This was the final barrier preventing everyone from entering!

According to the joint confirmation of the strongest individuals from the major factions, this Seal would dissipate on its own after seven days!

Seven days was simply too long. For these Cultivators, whose eyes were red with eagerness, every moment was torment!

Just then, several Disciples appeared among the crowd. They walked up to the leaders of the major factions and said a few words.

Immediately, the Four Great Factions, including some slightly weaker factions around them, all looked towards the Six Vein Alliance, their eyes filled with coldness and ill will.

Xuan Tianhong immediately noticed this, his expression somewhat grim. He didn't know what had happened, why these people were all looking at him like that?

"Xuan Tianhong!" Qing Lian Shan of Yaochi Holy Land was the first to attack!

Her voice was as clear and cold as an icy spring, yet it carried a bone-chilling chill, clearly overriding the clamor in the field:

"You Six Vein Alliance have a huge appetite! monopolizing everything and shutting us out? According to my subordinate, she personally saw your Chang Sheng Pulse Disciple Su Lin Yun enter the Legacy! Was she sent in by you as an advance scout?"

...

The surrounding Cultivators continuously voiced their dissatisfaction, and the atmosphere grew increasingly tense.

"Indeed!"

The elderly leader of Chiyun Sword Sect suddenly took a step forward, his long sword behind him humming, a sharp Sword Intent soaring into the sky, instantly locking onto Xuan Tianhong:

"My Disciple witnessed with her own eyes that Su Lin Yun, before the Holy Light erupted, passed through the not-yet-fully-formed barrier without any obstruction and entered the stone gate! How do you, Six Vein Alliance, explain this?!"

"Hmph!"

The jade flute middle-aged man from Xiaoyao Sect sneered, toying with the jade flute in his hand:

"I wondered why you arrived the earliest and secured the best spot. So, you had an insider who got a head start! What, do you want to monopolize the Saint Lord Inheritance? Aren't you afraid of bursting from greed!"

The Elder from Wen Yuan Temple slowly opened his eyes, his voice deep but carrying an undeniable power:

"The Heavenly Secrets are obscure, but Karma clearly points. Su Lin Yun's entry is inextricably linked to your Six Vein Alliance. Sect Master Xuan, give us an explanation. Otherwise..."
