In comparison, Hua Ci had occupied first place on the Roll of Supremacy for a year, so she could be considered famous on the Spirit Creek Battlefield. On the other hand, Ju Jia had been an unknown figure since he started cultivating.
On the Spirit Creek Battlefield, he made it to the Cloud River Realm pretty early on and arrived at the Cloud River Battlefield on his own. When Lu Ye found him, he brought him to Ameliorate Valley on Grand Wilds Peak. Since then, Ju Jia had rarely left the valley.
Therefore, most cultivators at the scene had never seen him before. That said, he had made it to the top 100 in the Fight for Supremacy at the very least. Even though they had never seen him before, they still remembered his name.
They recalled that when the results were finalised, he was ranked around 30th.
Despite being a Seventh-Order Master, he made it to around 30th place. It went to show that he had an ample heritage. Therefore, even though he was weaker, no one would underestimate him. If someone like him made it to the Ninth Order, his power would increase tremendously.
A glint flashed across Ying Wuji’s eyes. Unlike the others, he had seen Ju Jia before.
When he and Song Zhui went to Ameliorate Valley to besiege Lu Ye, he hid in the dark and waited for a chance to make a move. At that moment, this burly Body-tempering Cultivator stood not far away from Lu Ye.
Certainly, he wouldn’t forget about someone like Ju Jia, whose physique was impressive. But now, Lu Ye and this man pretended that they didn’t know each other. It was apparent that they were up to something.
Ying Wuji didn’t immediately expose them. He only secretly kept his guard up.
By now, nine people had gathered on the peak.
Besides the top six cultivators in the Fight for Supremacy, the 16th spot Ying Wuji, the 29th spot Ju Jia, and one of the top 300 cultivators Hua Ci had gathered. The line-up made everyone believe that their speculation was right.
The problem they were facing this time must be thorny and dangerous, and their lives might be at risk.
However, things had come to a point where no one could back down. They had come to this place following the calling, which could be said to be the Heavens’ instructions. If they backed down at this point, the consequences would be unbearable for them.
Therefore, despite knowing that the road ahead was perilous, they had no choice but to carry on.
Moreover, they were the most brilliant cultivators in the Cloud River Realm, so they understood that any opportunity came with a risk. While they were worried, they were also expectant and excited.
What kind of problem the almighty Heavens wanted them to solve that so many powerful cultivators were gathered here? This sort of thing had never happened before.
At the very least, such an incident wasn’t in the records of their respective Sects.
Lu Ye remained seated in the centre as he gently tapped the hilt of his Inviolable Saber and fell into his thoughts.
Hua Ci was chosen because she was a Medical Cultivator. It probably had nothing to do with her cultivation.
But what about Ju Jia? There were quite some people in the Cloud River Realm who were more powerful than him. Why was he chosen instead of someone else?
Lu Ye couldn’t help but recall what had happened in Fox Immortal Valley. At that time, he killed the Fox Mutant and acquired the Divine Baptism. Perhaps he had accumulated some Heavens’ blessing during that time.
Was that why Ju Jia was chosen out of so many powerful Cloud River Realm Masters? However, that was only some speculation, and Lu Ye had no idea if that was indeed the case.
Soon, he recalled another matter, so he suddenly looked in Ying Wuji’s direction.
Presently, Ying Wuji was pondering why Lu Ye and Ju Jia were hiding the relationship between them. When he suddenly felt a sharp gaze locking onto him, he turned his head and saw Lu Ye staring fixedly at him.
He felt his chest tightening and soon came to the realisation that Lu Ye was warning him. Displeased, he questioned, “What’s wrong, Cultivator Lu?”
“Behave yourself,” Lu Ye replied impassively.
Ying Wuji’s face twitched. Certainly, he could tell the warning behind his words, so he was furious. He hadn’t made up his mind as to whether he should secretly expose the relationship between the two of them. If he did so, Lu Ye would probably hack him into pieces.
Suddenly, some muffled noise was heard coming from deep below the ground. It was as though some bolts of lightning were wandering underground. Following that, the peak started shaking.
The turn of events shocked everyone as they activated their powers and hovered in mid-air.
But when they saw what was going on, their expressions changed drastically. Besides the peak where they had stood, the other nearby peaks were shaking as well.
“What’s going on?” Yang Yuan asked in shock, but no one could give him an answer.
It all happened too suddenly, so no one knew what was going on.
In just three breaths of time, the peaks in a radius of several hundred kilometres around them started trembling as well. A tremendous aura descended from the sky, and following that, a light column shot into the sky from one of the peaks.
Then, even more light columns broke out. At that moment, countless light columns penetrated the clouds and shot into the sky, which was quite a magnificent sight. Even people who were 10,000 kilometres away could see it clearly.
The sudden appearance of the light columns and their coverage were unimaginable.
After a moment of breaking out, the light columns started expanding. As that happened, pure and rich World Spiritual Qi spread across the place.
These people, who were still shocked and doubtful, immediately felt a warm sensation. It was as if they were swimming in the ocean of Spiritual Qi.
The World Spiritual Qi was so rich and pure that it was just as good as the one drawn to a cultivator when he activated an Amulet.
In other words, if one cultivated in such an environment, it was like continuously activating Amulets to cultivate. It was a dream for every cultivator to be able to cultivate their power so quickly and efficiently.
Therefore, even though they had no idea what was going on, they still instinctively breathed in the World Spiritual Qi.
On the other hand, Lu Ye’s attention was drawn to the light belts that moved around the ocean of Spiritual Qi. These light belts were born after the light columns expanded.
Presently, they were not only swimming in the ocean of Spiritual Qi. It was also as if they were engulfed in an ocean of light. This ocean of light covered a radius of over 1,000 kilometres.
What caught Lu Ye’s attention was not the light belts themselves but the way they flowed around.
As if having a spirituality of their own, these light belts intertwined with each other and spread across the ocean of light. The way they intertwined with one another resembled Yin and Yang.
Lu Ye quickly activated Insight and looked around.
As a Spell Cultivator, Lu Qing had a slight idea of what was going on as well. While hungrily breathing in the Spiritual Qi, he intently observed his surroundings.
In just ten breaths of time, a huge Glyph that was formed from light belts came into their sight. It hovered above their heads and engulfed the peak where they had stood.
With the Glyph as the centre, even more Yin and Yang elements appeared and spread in all directions. It was as if an invisible hand was controlling everything.
“Lu Yi Ye!” Lu Qing growled. “What Glyph is this?”
It wasn’t a secret that Lu Ye was well-versed in the Way of Wards, which was closely related to the Way of Glyphs. Therefore, since Lu Qing couldn’t recognise what this huge Glyph was, he immediately asked Lu Ye about it.
Lu Ye had flown to a higher spot and looked around intently. A moment later, he seemed to be amazed.
“Lu Yi Ye!” Yang Yuan shouted as well. “We’re all in the same boat now, so if you know something, don’t hide it from us!”
What was going on was astounding, so something was surely about to happen. Others might not see through all of this, but it was apparent that Lu Ye had discovered something.
Lu Ye could be heard saying calmly, “With the Spirit Peaks as the base and the pure Spiritual Qi as the source, such an inscrutable masterpiece is formed!”
Based on his observation, the Spirit Peaks and mountain ranges within a radius of 1,000 kilometres, coupled with Yin and Yang derived from the light belts, had formed into a Ward.
Moreover, it was a Ward he was most familiar with.
He didn’t want to say much at first, but considering that Hua Ci and Ju Jia were around and that Mu Qingyun could be considered a friend, he explained, “The thing above our heads is the Void Glpyh!”
“The Void Glyph!” Lu Qing’s expression changed when he heard that.
He had certainly heard of the Void Glyph before, but who in the world could build such a gigantic Void Glyph? Even the Divine Ocean Realm Masters might not be able to achieve this.
With a solemn expression, Lan Zi Yi said, “You just said the Spirit Peaks are the base and the pure Spiritual Qi are the source. Does it mean that this Void Glyph is the core of a Grand Ward?”
Lu Ye shot her an impassive look. “Yes.”
All of them were instantly horrified. The huge Void Glyph was just the core, so how gigantic the Grand Ward must be?
Lu Qing’s face had turned livid. As far as he was concerned, only one Grand Ward required a Void Glyph to be the core, which was the famous Teleportation Ward.
But why would it be a Teleportation Ward?
In Jiu Zhou, including Spirit Creek Battlefield and Cloud River Battlefield, they could make use of Divine Opportunity Columns to move around, so Teleportation Wards were not needed under most circumstances. Therefore, even the Ward Cultivators wouldn’t spend much time studying Teleportation Wards.
Certainly, it also had something to do with how difficult it was to build the Ward. If one wasn’t well-versed in the Way of Wards, he couldn’t even build a Void Glyph, let alone a Ward.
So far, in the Cloud River Realm, only Lu Ye was able to build Teleportation Wards. Since he said it was a Teleportation Ward, it must be the case.
Everything before their eyes was so magnificent that it was apparent that no Humans could ever pull it off. It must be the Heavens’ doing!
They had been wondering what kind of problem the Heavens wanted them to solve that they were gathered here. They reckoned that it must be dangerous. But before it even started, a Teleportation Ward of such a scale was formed. It was hard for them to imagine what awaited them.
Lu Ye was also curious about where the Teleportation Ward would lead them to.
Would it be a Hidden Realm? However, the Teleportation Ward was too colossal.
While they were in a dazed state, the Void Glyph above their heads descended, and the pure World Spiritual Qi seemed to be boiling instantly.
The Void started contorting, and all of them couldn’t help but feel a sense of weightlessness.
Lu Ye suddenly had a premonition. He glanced at them and gave them a heads-up by saying, “Enjoy your trip, Fellow Cultivators!”
Well that should get things moving.
Is it finally time to start ending LYYs endless hatred and murderousness towards TDR or are they going to team up and try to back stab him when they see the heaven blessed loot pile at the end of the adventure?
