The Influence Brought by the Ancient Treasure

Chapter 57

After preparing the "surprise", Li Changmeng began to widely spread the map of the ancient treasure.

The gray-haired clone and the young boy clone, two clones at the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage, spread the map in a very short time.

According to the record on the map, the ancient treasure was located in a huge mountain range with low spiritual qi.

Everyone or every force that obtained the map of the ancient treasure secretly hid it at the first time. However, in the end, the news still spread like wildfire. In just three days, the entire Ten Cities Alliance learned about this news.

In the Qingmiao Sect, Feng Qi came to Daoxian Mountain. His spiritual consciousness covered half of the mountain, and he found that half of the ten disciples accepted by his precious disciple had stepped into the Qi Refining stage, and their cultivation speed was not bad either.

Sure enough, a genius was outstanding in every aspect. Even when teaching those with insufficient talent, he could achieve satisfactory results.

However, this time he came not to see them but to see his disciple, Li Youhe.

Because Li Changmeng had said that he was in seclusion, Feng Qi restrained his aura and did not affect the mountain peak.

All the way from the middle of the mountain to the peak, Li Changmeng's cave abode was right there.

"He's really busy with cultivation and doesn't look like the master of a peak at all."

As the master of a peak, Li Changmeng had only opened up a cave abode that was just enough for use and had not carried out any repairs, so it looked very simple.

However, precisely because of this, Feng Qi thought that a cultivator should have such a state of mind and not be greedy for external things.

In this regard, even though he was a Core Formation cultivator, he seemed not to be able to compare with his disciple.

In the cave abode, although Li Changmeng was cultivating, he still had a certain understanding of the outside situation. At this moment, he sensed Feng Qi, so he stopped his actions and walked out of the cave abode.

"Disciple greets Master. I wonder if Master has something to look for me?"

"Youhe, since you entered the mountain, you have been spending all your time in cultivation. I naturally know your diligence, but cultivation can't just be about burying your head in hard work all the time. You should also go and see the outside world.

Coincidentally, an ancient treasure has recently emerged. I estimate that many cultivators have already gathered at the Lishan Mountain Range. So, I thought of taking you to have a look and have some fun. As long as you don't covet the ancient treasure, there won't be any danger."

"An ancient treasure has emerged?!"

Li Changmeng pretended to be surprised, and then said seriously, "Master, cultivation is like sailing against the current, full of disasters. How can one approach the disasters instead of avoiding them?

When the ancient treasure emerges, Li Changmeng will naturally send one of his clones to see how the situation is, but the clone in the Qingmiao Sect can't go.

Although the cultivation base of this body is not as high as those clones that are hidden and cultivate day and night, it has the advantage of having an identity and cultivating the orthodox cultivation method, which will be more convenient for future actions.

"Youhe, you..."

Feng Qi was stopped by Li Changmeng's words because what he said was indeed reasonable.

However, if one just keeps closing oneself in for seclusion, even if the cultivation base is improved, in other aspects...

Especially, he regarded Li Youhe as the candidate for the next sect master. Although cultivation base is important, to control a sect, things like human relationships, scheming, and calculation are all very important.

"Master, I understand your expectations of me, but I want to say that the cultivation base itself is the most important.

Master, just look. Even you have received the news about the emergence of this ancient treasure. There must be someone behind the scenes pushing it. Maybe it's a trap."

Feng Qi was silent. These words made sense. The news about the ancient treasure was now known to everyone, and there might be some danger hidden in it.

In addition, within the scope of his Qingmiao Sect, a mortal city was slaughtered empty by evil cultivators, which just showed that the situation was not stable.

"It's my fault for not thinking carefully. But there's something you didn't know because you were in seclusion before. Linhao City was slaughtered by an unknown evil cultivator."

"Hmm, this damages the prestige of our Qingmiao Sect. It's more important for Master to investigate this matter."

Li Changmeng said calmly. As a cultivator, if mortal people were gone, they were gone. But the evil cultivator's doing this was just not giving face to their Qingmiao Sect.

"Hmm, this matter has been under investigation. Then I won't delay your cultivation anymore."

Feng Qi didn't stay any longer and left directly.

The news of the emergence of the ancient treasure, after being stirred up by Li Changmeng, was known to the entire Ten Cities Alliance.

One of his clones in the Feilai Sword Sect was being led by a Core Formation elder and was rushing towards the Lishan Mountain Range.

"The Feilai Sword Sect... As an outsider Foundation Establishment cultivator, I'm really just doing menial work and can't find out any information at all. It seems that I need to insert another clone into it.

He inserted a clone into the Feilai Sword Sect to investigate whether Zhao Wenyue had any relationship with the Feilai Sword Sect.

As a result, after the clone entered the Feilai Sword Sect, there were a lot of tasks assigned, and it was really blocked at every turn when trying to investigate something.

You are a casual cultivator. It's already a great effort and good luck for you to barely break through to the Foundation Establishment stage. It's already a great kindness for a big and prestigious sect to accept you. What kind of good treatment do you still expect?

This was the treatment that most casual Foundation Establishment cultivators who joined the sect received.

Some casual cultivators couldn't stand this and could only continue to be casual cultivators. They were carefree, but they were in a bit of a mess when they needed various resources.

To penetrate into the interior of these sects, it had to be like the clone in the Qingmiao Sect, with the body of a young child and outstanding talent, so that it was easier to enter.

At this time, quite a few cultivators from various parties had already gathered at the Lishan Mountain Range.

However, no one dared to directly enter to search for the trace of the ancient treasure.

Because above the high sky, three human-shaped Dharma forms over ten zhang tall stood there. Anyone who dared to approach the mountain range would die on the spot.

Quite a few cultivators who didn't believe in evil had already sacrificed their lives.

Those three human-shaped Dharma forms were transformed by Nascent Soul cultivators.

As soon as the news of the ancient treasure spread, Nascent Soul cultivators rushed over at the fastest speed and blocked off this place.

However, they didn't directly take action to snatch it. Instead, they set a rule that the treasure would belong to those who were destined.

In three days, everyone could obtain it by their own abilities, and only Foundation Establishment cultivators were allowed to enter.

People with discerning eyes understood that this was the plan discussed by the Ten Cities Alliance.

There was only one ancient treasure, and only this method of relying on one's own abilities could satisfy everyone.

Moreover, the disciples of the big sects had various means, and the probability of them obtaining the ancient treasure was much higher.

In name, all Foundation Establishment cultivators could enter, which seemed very fair. In fact, it was more beneficial to the disciples of the big sects.

But everyone would think, am I the one with great luck?

So, with the three-day time limit, more and more cultivators gathered outside the Lishan Mountain Range.

How many Foundation Establishment cultivators were there in the entire Ten Cities Alliance?

There were countless of them, but those who could rush over within the three-day time limit were only the nearby Foundation Establishment cultivators and the disciples of those prestigious sects.

One of Li Changmeng's clones had also arrived outside the Lishan Mountain Range and casually found a place to settle down.

The clone in the Feilai Sword Sect had also arrived. The two clones didn't meet and were going to enter from two directions when the time came.

After the three-day time limit passed, there were hundreds of Foundation Establishment cultivators who had rushed over after learning the news.

Foundation Establishment cultivators, who were usually rarely seen, were now as numerous as ox hairs and could be seen everywhere.

The Qi Refining cultivators who originally wanted to watch the excitement and didn't have the protection of Foundation Establishment or even Core Formation elders all left voluntarily, for fear of accidentally provoking someone.

Above the high sky, one of the Nascent Soul True Lords cast a spell towards the Lishan Mountain Range, and a strong wind blew up.

Dozens of demonic beasts were swept up.

They were the fourth-rank great demonic beasts and many third-rank demonic beasts in the Lishan Mountain Range. The existence of these demonic beasts might pose a danger to the Foundation Establishment cultivators. At this moment, the Nascent Soul cultivator took action to eliminate the dangerous factors.

"The three-day time limit has expired. The treasure will belong to those who are destined. Everyone, enter the mountain!"
