Chapter 621 - 271: No-Spirit Island
Chu Ning saw the white mist in the distance.
The Iron Lion, just a few dozen feet away, naturally saw it too.
At this moment, the two of them couldn’t care about anything else, seeing the white mist sweeping towards them, they instinctively turned around and performed a flying escape to evade it.
Although Chu Ning vaguely sensed the astonishing Spiritual Qi within the white mist, his Divine Sense couldn’t penetrate through it.
Naturally, he evaded if he could.
However, soon, Chu Ning’s heart sank.
The white mist was sweeping too fast, much faster than his speed.
At this rate, he might be caught up in less than fifty miles.
After taking another drop of Thousand-Year Spirit Milk, Chu Ning pushed his Divine Wind Escape to the limit.
Instead of flying forward, he flew diagonally forward, trying to avoid the endless white mist.
However, the fact proved that Chu Ning’s choice was completely ineffective.
This white mist stretched endlessly, seemingly filling the entire space.
Chu Ning could only grit his teeth and continue to fly forward, reluctantly watching the white mist closing in.
In the blink of an eye, the white mist was less than a thousand feet away.
"Space Storm! This thing is a Space Storm!"
At this moment, Tie Shi, who was also flying away, shouted.
Upon hearing Tie Shi’s words, Chu Ning’s heart sank slightly.
He had naturally heard of Space Storms, which were said to often originate from Spatial Rifts.
They were filled with unknown Power of Space.
If caught by it, one would be transported by this Power of Space, but the destination was completely random.
It could be nearby, tens of thousands of miles away, or even directly into the Spatial Rift from where the Space Storm originated.
"If that’s the case, this Space Storm likely originated from the top of the mountain range."
Chu Ning had a vague guess.
Realizing that flying forward was no longer useful, Chu Ning sighed lightly in his heart, immediately activating Earth Spirit Rock Armor Technique and Undying Golden Body Protection.
The next moment, the white mist swept in, engulfing his figure.
...
At Hong Lake Entrance, the Nascent Soul and Golden Core Cultivators from the three factions were monitoring the movements from outside the three Space Boundary Points.
However, since everyone entered, there had been no movements.
All they could do was wait patiently outside.
"This time, I wonder which alliance or sect’s cultivator will luckily obtain the Gold Spirit Seed.
If one of those Golden Core Late Stage Cultivators obtains it, there’s almost an 80% chance of adding another Nascent Soul Cultivator.
For any alliance, adding a Nascent Soul Cultivator would be a significant increase in strength."
The Nascent Soul Cultivators from various factions were all silently thinking the same thing.
But they also knew that if someone benefited, others would inevitably fall.
This was the cruelty of the Cultivation Realm.
The competition for rare resources was akin to success built on countless sacrifices.
As for the sects without Golden Core Late Stage Cultivators, they were wondering if their cultivators could obtain a trace of Spirit Charm.
Or if they could bring out some Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures for their sect.
These Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures from the Spirit Realm were often unavailable in the outside world.
Time slowly passed amid everyone’s anticipation.
Then, at a certain moment, the eyes of many Nascent Soul Cultivators suddenly focused on a particular spot.
"Such strong spatial fluctuations! Could it be that some cultivator has already obtained the Spirit Seed, and this small world of the Spirit Realm is about to disappear?"
From the Cloud Peak Alliance, Qin Changkong, the alliance leader, was the first to sense the spatial fluctuation.
In the next moment, the other Nascent Soul Cultivators and many Golden Core Cultivators also noticed the intense spatial fluctuation.
Immediately, everyone flew towards the strongest point of the fluctuation.
Not only the people from the Cloud Peak Alliance but also cultivators from the Celestial Extreme Alliance and the Demon Alliance did the same.
Soon, cultivators gathered on a nameless peak originally within the Celestial Extreme Alliance’s territorial range.
Celestial Extreme Alliance cultivators naturally arrived first.
However, they did not stop the other two alliances’ cultivators from coming.
After all, previously occupying the territory was only for the Space Boundary Point, and now that all the cultivators who could enter had gone in.
Besides, they didn’t want to incur the wrath of everyone.
Just when the cultivators gathered for a short while, the spatial fluctuation here grew increasingly intense.
Immediately, they all felt a dazzling white light flash by.
The next moment, the intense fluctuation instantly disappeared.
In front of everyone, more than twenty cultivators appeared.
Seeing these twenty or so people, the cultivators present first brightened their eyes, and then many faces sank slightly.
A Golden Core Cultivator exclaimed in surprise.
"How come there are so few people? The three alliances combined had a full two hundred people, and yet only twenty or so have emerged, where are the others?"
"What exactly happened?"
The Nascent Soul Cultivators also had grim expressions at this moment.
They naturally knew that upon entering, there would certainly be casualties among cultivators.
But at the level of Golden Core Cultivators, even if there’s a small difference in realms, it’s not easy to easily kill each other.
Moreover, only a small portion of Early Stage Golden Core Cultivators entered.
Hence, they estimated a loss rate of about one to two percent.
But now, only about ten percent of the cultivators had come out.
Such a large loss was unbearable for any alliance.
Especially for the Demon Alliance and Celestial Extreme Sect, they found that even the leaders of this expedition hadn’t appeared.
Both groups couldn’t help but fix their gaze tightly on He Feng, the most advanced cultivator among those who emerged.
