Chapter 511: Abyss of the Underworld, Gathering of Powerhouses

On the edge of the Abyss of the Underworld, it was illuminated by countless energy shields and flying magical treasures.

Millions of cultivators gathered here, from lone cultivators of the Rogue Cultivator Alliance to elite teams from various star domain sects. The dense crowd almost filled this void.

The air was filled with various spiritual pressures and the buzzing of magical treasures, and the aura of Golden Immortal Realm cultivators here had become the most basic benchmark.

This was also why the star pirates collectively cowered and dared not appear.

Although there were no cultivation restrictions for entering the Immortal Burial Ground, the dangers within were at least Golden Immortal-level.

Therefore, this implicitly raised the entry threshold to the Golden Immortal Realm.

With millions of Golden Immortal and above powerhouses gathered here, even extremely terrifying Immortal King forces dared not act recklessly.

“See that? That’s the ‘Myriad Sword Alliance’ from the Xuanhuang Star Domain. I heard three Immortal Venerables are leading them this time!”

Amidst the crowd, a middle-aged man in the Golden Immortal Realm exclaimed in admiration.

“Keep your voice down! Didn’t you see the people from Scarlet Flame Valley next to us? Their Valley Master is a Half-step Saint Immortal; don’t let them hear you!”

“More than that! Look at the Floating Islands in the distance. The Ye family and the Luo family have already taken the best spots! Tsk tsk, in previous years when the Immortal Burial Ground opened, these two families would at most send some less talented disciples to make a token appearance. I never expected so many people to come this year!”

“Tell me about it! I heard from someone in the Star Domain Chamber of Commerce that the Luo family has sent a Domain Lord Level powerhouse this time, as well as two old Immortal King antiques! Especially that prodigy named Luo Tian, he’s said to be a rare genius of the Luo family in ten thousand years, and he just came out of seclusion this time…”

Noisy discussions surged like a tide through the crowd, and countless gazes focused on the core area ahead.

That area was separated by an invisible energy barrier, and ordinary cultivators simply couldn’t approach it.

People from these small and medium-sized star domains could only stay on the periphery.

......

Inside the barrier, the Luo family and the Ye family were at the forefront, followed by other forces with Immortal Kings presiding.

It wasn’t as lively here as the outside, but relatively quieter.

However, when looking at the Ye and Luo families, there were still whispers.

The family flags of the Ye and Luo families fluttered in the wind, and beneath them stood powerhouses with profound auras—

Ye family cultivators all wore green robes, with an air of ancient noble families in their brows, while the Luo family members wore profound armor, surrounded by the domineering aura of spatial-temporal laws.

Even more eye-catching was the very front of the Luo family’s team.

A young man stood with his hands behind his back, his figure as straight as a pine, his ink-black hair simply tied with a jade hairpin, a few strands fluttering with the airflow, making his face appear even more handsome.

He wore a moon-white long robe, with intricate silver star patterns embroidered on the hem, and faint golden spatial-temporal runes appeared beneath his feet, as if the entire void was paving the way for him.

The young man’s eyes were as deep as night, and occasionally when he looked up at the ancient entrance about to appear in the distance, a subtle sharpness would flash in his eyes.

His aura was not deliberately restrained, yet it was like a dormant volcano, with a faint, elusive Immortal King-level pressure, causing cultivators within several miles to subconsciously hold their breath.

“Is that Luo Tian? He truly lives up to his reputation! This demeanor, this cultivation… he must be only one step away from becoming an Immortal King, right?”

A prodigy from an Immortal King great clan whispered.

“More than one step! I heard that when he came out of seclusion, he could already withstand a blow from an ordinary Immortal King. This time, the Immortal Burial Ground opening is probably for him to find an opportunity for breakthrough!”

“Alas, with such a prodigy around, what chance do disciples from our small forces have? I heard the Ye family also sent a female disciple named Ye Qingxuan, who is also at the peak of the Saint Immortal Realm, very formidable…”

Amidst the discussions, there was both reverence for super-forces and helplessness regarding their own slim chances.

In previous years, although the Immortal Burial Ground was dangerous, it also provided space for rogue cultivators and small and medium-sized forces to contend.

And the greatest benefits were always reaped by these great clans.

However, this year, the Ye and Luo families not only sent Immortal Kings to preside but also dispatched their most top-tier prodigies, which would greatly reduce the opportunities for others.

They wondered what madness had possessed these two clans this time.

But even with some dissatisfaction in their hearts, no one dared to say anything.

After all, they were all Immortal King-level forces, and the disparity between them was immense, to the point where describing it as a difference between heaven and earth would not be an exaggeration.

“Look! Luo Tian moved!”

Someone exclaimed in a low voice, and everyone’s gaze inside the barrier instantly focused.

The young man in the moon-white robe slightly turned his head, his gaze sweeping over the various forces behind him, his voice not loud but clearly audible throughout the entire core area:

“Everyone, my Luo family’s entry into the Immortal Burial Ground this time is merely to seek an ancient artifact. We will not contend with you for opportunities. Please feel free to proceed after entering.”

The moment his words fell, his aura surged violently, and the previously faint Immortal King pressure transformed into a tangible storm, causing even the surrounding shattered stars to churn.

Upon hearing this, everyone showed expressions of pleasant surprise.

They had just been wondering how to divide the areas of opportunity upon entering, but now it seemed unnecessary.

Since Luo Tian had said so, it represented the entire Luo family.

Immediately, a great deal of flattery appeared in the starry sky.

With their interests unaffected, they naturally gave this prodigy’s son ample face.

“Ancestral Li, how was my statement?”

After responding to the other forces one by one, Luo Tian began to communicate with a soul body in his sea of consciousness.

This soul body was precisely the Ancestral Dragon Li Ti, who had appeared earlier in the Luo family and conversed with Luo Feng.

“It’s fine, no problem. Reducing the attention of these people will allow you to wholeheartedly search for that Immortal Emperor’s Dao Field!”

Li Ti nodded in response.

She had sent a wisp of her soul to accompany Luo Tian, and of course, the clan’s powerhouses were also involved.

They hadn’t found the murderer of Sikong Jing, nor the last piece of the star map, so they could only go in together to prevent any accidents.

This wisp of her soul was only for strategizing; her strength was not great.

“But Ancestral Li, Elder Xing Feng didn’t find the star map. Can I really find that Ancient Void Immortal Emperor’s Dao Field this time?”

Luo Tian said with some uncertainty.

He knew this operation was very important, and he was somewhat nervous, especially since the last piece of the star map was not in hand, which made him not very confident.

“Don’t worry, that murderer will definitely come. As long as he comes, there will be no accidents. Trust me!”

“Alright, Ancestral Li’s words, this junior naturally believes.”

Hearing Li Ti’s assurance, Luo Tian nodded.

However, a subtle, almost imperceptible dark light flashed deep within his eyes.

Their conversation ended there.

They wouldn’t communicate much beyond this matter.

Li Ti knew Luo Tian’s identity, so there was no need to say too much. From beginning to end, she had never regarded him as a true person.
