97: Cracks in the sky, falling treasures

Crowds gathered in the sky, and Jie Liuhang, riding the wind and clouds, overlooked the earth, feeling quite emotional.

When the Golden Core Tomb was about to open, most players were Qi Refining or Mortals, with few able to fly on the wind. Almost all the Cultivators in the sky were natives, and only a handful were soul-transmigrated players.

At that time, the native NPCs were the absolute protagonists, and the players were like passersby commenting from the sidelines, discussing Immortal Foundation Outstanding Talents and the prosperity of Sects.

When Jiang Feng observed, he even felt that the players had become supporting characters providing information in a novel, while the native NPCs had become the protagonists.

But now, Jie Liuhang, Zong Zishui, Shao Kaitian, and others were all flying in the clouds, either having already achieved Foundation Establishment and become Experts, or being carried by the wind. In any case, they instantly attracted the gaze of all the players on the ground.

"Look quickly! That's Zong Zishui, Liu Zhuan's ace!"

"Oh my god, he's flying on his own without help. Has he already reached Foundation Establishment?"

"As expected of Liu Zhuan's ace."

"Who's that over there, Shao Kaitian? Why does he have tree roots under his feet?"

"That's an Immortal Foundation! He's actually already achieved an Immortal Foundation!"

"Wow, Jie Liuhang is there too, with flames under his feet. He also achieved an Immortal Foundation!"

"So powerful, as expected of professional players."

Players from the Great Love Alliance, as well as some Loose Cultivators, discussed animatedly, their eyes filled with shock.

Zong Zishui's expression was strange. They were now essentially the NPCs' thugs, forced to go into the cave to seize treasures, their lives unknown.

However, no matter what, many of them had achieved Foundation Establishment, and with the accumulation of Sect resources, they had created a gap with Loose Cultivator players, making them "superiors" who enjoyed various envious gazes.

Zong Zishui could even imagine that after the cave opened, they would be the first to enter, seizing the best positions, while other players could only follow behind them, one step slow leading to every step slow.

"Is this the Law of survival in a Xuanhuan World?"

Zong Zishui could already imagine what kind of scene it would be when they brought out Cultivation Techniques from the cave, or even exchanged them for complete Immortal Foundation Methods, and then started a new life, cultivating with a stronger Golden Finger?

Suddenly, he sharply looked up, gazing higher.

Sure enough, three Golden Core Experts appeared without a trace, hovering above everyone.

They did not emit even a trace of Spiritual Qi, nor were there any unusual phenomena, but they exuded a powerful aura that made people dare not approach. Under this aura, ordinary people would not dare to have even the slightest abnormal thought.

The three Golden Cores looked even higher, where there was nothing. Their gaze seemed to penetrate the clouds, looking towards another space.

"What exactly does 'cave falling' mean?"

Jie Liuhang hovered in mid-air, squinting in thought.

Even professional players, who had more information than ordinary players, hadn't managed to gather some intelligence.

After all, ordinary Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment Cultivators were completely clueless about what a cave was, only having vague concepts, and asking about it only made players more confused.

For example, a soul-transmigrated player described a cave like this:

A great Divine Ability user opens up a space from the void, detached from the current world, difficult for ordinary people to find.

When players saw this description, their minds buzzed. Although Huan Meng had related introductions in various places, no one could truly understand what a cave was.

What does it mean to open up a space?

What does it mean to be detached from the current world?

What is all this about?

In fact, some people had thought of the storage space corresponding to storage rings, but trying to abstractly understand a cave was very difficult for those without Xuanhuan common sense, as there was still a huge difference between storage space and a cave.

Suddenly, the Disciples of the Three Great Sects stirred their Spiritual Qi and transmitted their voices to the surroundings, instructing the Kongming Dao Lineage inheritors to circulate their Cultivation Techniques.

Although everyone was confused, they followed suit, and immediately all the surrounding Spiritual Qi was stirred.

Rumble!

Suddenly, a series of loud noises came from the sky.

On the ground, the Great Love Alliance players, who had originally been looking towards the Golden Core Tomb, all looked up in astonishment, some unable to react.

"Could it be that the cave isn't underground, but in the sky? But there's nothing there?"

The players murmured, at a loss.

The three Golden Core Experts still showed no reaction, only waiting quietly.

The next moment, a dazzling white light flashed across the sky, followed by a huge crack, as if the sky had been torn open.

Dense Spiritual Qi overflowed from the crack. Shao Kaitian, who was closest, merely took a breath, and the Immortal Foundation [Undetermined Root] within him began to grow wildly. His entire body's Spiritual Qi also circulated continuously, and his Cultivation Technique even autonomously completed a grand circulation.

Even the players on the ground felt the richness of this Spiritual Qi. The Heaven Void Profoundless Art was more excited than ever before, and they only felt their cultivation increasing rapidly.

Suddenly, within the vast Spiritual Qi, streaks of shimmering light appeared, arcing across the sky and falling towards the ground, like dazzling meteors.

"It's a magic sword!!!"

A Great Love Alliance player exclaimed, his face showing unprecedented greed, and he rushed at full speed towards the magic sword's landing point.

Another player nearby snorted coldly, and with a backhand, he unleashed a Blazing Fire, incinerating the greedy person, then sped towards the magic sword even faster.

"What are you doing! Don't fight among yourselves!"

A mid-level Alliance player shouted.

Although he knew the Alliance was a makeshift organization, he never expected that a mere magic sword of unknown grade could cause such chaos and mutual slaughter, all for the sake of seizing a treasure.

But before the mid-level players could control the situation, they saw more and more meteors falling, followed by a chorus of exclamations:

"A Cauldron! It's a Cauldron for Alchemy!"

"Oh my god, that hammer is still glowing, it must be an incredible treasure!"

"What's that string wrapped in spirit vines? It looks like a complete set of Artifact Refining Materials? It's mine!"

Exclamations rose and fell.

Meteors kept falling, and more and more good things descended from the sky. Even the mid-level players couldn't hold back and began to scramble for them.

The entire Great Love Alliance fell into disarray, with almost everyone fighting over the falling treasures.

Midnight Gao Sou, Old Potato, and others watched this scene, looking at each other, their minds buzzing.

They looked up at the crack in the sky. That crack was getting bigger and bigger, and more and more treasures were falling.

It looked like a grand treasure hunt, as if all the treasures within the cave were falling to the ground.

But the three Golden Cores in the sky remained motionless, and none of the inheritors they brought with them moved either.

Undoubtedly, these increasing treasures were merely appetizers; the true cave had not yet descended, and all the ultimate treasures were behind the crack.

"This..."

Midnight Gao Sou felt his mouth go dry.

The treasures that made players fight to the death were actually the most insignificant things in the cave, like accidentally dropped outer shells.

What kind of ultimate treasures were truly within the cave?
