Chapter 778: Chapter 435 Ghost_2

Perhaps the only one who might know something here is Elder Sword.

Elder Sword recalled his past experiences at the Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion, where he had spent most of his time cultivating and had little exposure to the outside world.

Suddenly, a thought flickered in his mind; he remembered a book he had seen at the Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion, which mentioned that Great Mahayana Cultivators used Grotto Heavens as their dwelling places.

“Perhaps that place is a Grotto Heaven, only a Great Mahayana Cultivator can open one!” Elder Sword communicated through transmitted sound.

“Then it must indeed be a Grotto Heaven. We on the Beishu Continent know nothing about them, and that’s why we were aware that there was something abnormal there, but we couldn’t detect the existence of the Grotto Heaven!” Ancestor Lu transmitted back.

Although the exchanges on the Beishu Continent side were conducted through sound transmission, their actions still couldn’t escape Elder Jin Kai’s watchful eyes.

“So you didn’t know the secret of that place!” Elder Jin Kai glanced sideways at Ancestor Ren Xun and said to the Nascent Soul Ancestors of the Beishu Continent.

“A Grotto Heaven is hardly a secret!” Ancestor Lu said with a deliberate smile.

“You’re just guessing, aren’t you? Even if the Grotto Heaven is there, do you have a way to open it?” Elder Jin Kai asked indifferently, seemingly unsurprised.

The eight Nascent Soul Ancestors were deep in thought, maintaining unchanging expressions, but the eyes of two of them fluctuated slightly, and Elder Jin Kai discerned something amiss.

“Haha, today we could completely leave first and let you investigate. How about we come to explore after you have finished investigating?” he said, laughing loudly in jest.

His words made Ancestor Lu’s expression darken slightly; it was true: even if the Beishu Continent knew what was there, they couldn’t open the Grotto Heaven.

This frustration stemmed from a lack of knowledge. The history of the Beishu Continent rarely even saw Nascent Soul Middle Stage cultivators, let alone knowledge about Great Mahayana Cultivators.

The Inheritance Techniques of the major sects could reach Late-stage Nascent Soul at best, yet even so, there had historically been no practitioners that reached such a level.

The Beishu Continent didn’t have enough resources to cultivate Late-stage Nascent Soul Cultivators; this was not something that talent could circumvent.

As for leaving the continent, although one could traverse the ocean with the strength of the Nascent Soul Stage, it was not without danger. Navigating without an established route could greatly increase the chance of encountering perils.

The Beishu Continent, unlike those with abundant resources, lacked Middle Late-stage Nascent Soul Cultivators who could explore and establish mature sea routes, allowing the continent’s Nascent Soul Early Stage Practitioners to leave relatively safely.

This was also due to the Nascent Soul Cultivators of the Beishu Continent being accustomed to stability. They occupied the resources of a continent and, although somewhat meager, it was far better than taking risks abroad.

Most importantly, it was not easy for a sect to cultivate a Nascent Soul Ancestor, and they did not wish for Nascent Soul Ancestors to leave the continent.

A smile appeared on Elder Jin Kai’s face. Being able to have leverage over the Nascent Soul Ancestors of the Beishu Continent put him in an advantageous position.

There wasn’t an immediate need to fight. The foundation of Nascent Soul battles was the seizure of resources.

The Nascent Soul Ancestors of the Beishu Continent, on the one hand, didn’t even know how to obtain resources, so why would Elder Jin Kai need to compete with them for it.

Elder Jin Kai, standing on invincible ground, thought of the worst-case scenario, which was to enter the Grotto Heaven with the Beishu Continent’s Nascent Soul Cultivators and concede a small portion of the resources during the distribution.

Just as he was thinking this, a strong spatial fluctuation suddenly emanated from below. The fluctuation was not a one-time burst, but ongoing and continuous.

There was a barrier between the Thirty-Three Heavens and the world below, and if not for the intensity of the spatial fluctuations, it would have been impossible to sense them from within the Thirty-Three Heavens.

His expression changed drastically, as he contemplated a possibility.

“You Xia has opened the Grotto Heaven!” he communicated through transmitted sound to Ancestor Ren Xun, who had also sensed the spatial fluctuation.

“That damned thing, even after the company nurtured him, he betrayed it!” Ancestor Ren Xun also appeared displeased.

Just when they had taken the initiative on their side, and it was time to negotiate, obtaining the majority of the benefits for a very small price.

But it was Elder You Xia’s actions that caused all this to be lost.

The eight Nascent Soul Ancestors from the Beishu Continent all sensed spatial fluctuations and instantly understood that a Grotto Heaven had opened.

Although they did not know how the Grotto Heaven had opened, such strong spatial fluctuations were already extremely telling.

At this point, whether it was the eight Nascent Soul Ancestors from the Beishu Continent or Elder Jin Kai and Ancestor Ren Xun from the Skywalk Trading Company, none could stay here any longer.

They all flew downwards together, and during their descent, they saw a space gate ten meters high, emitting dazzling light.

The eyes of the eight Nascent Soul Ancestors from the Beishu Continent lit up, while Elder Jin Kai’s gaze was sinister; he was considering that if he encountered Elder You Xia, he would definitely extract his spirit and torture it for a hundred years.

“The Grotto Heaven has opened, let us enter together to explore, and whoever finds anything inside can keep it!” Elder Jin Kai knew he could no longer prevent them, so he proposed.

The Grotto Heaven was right here, and there were many Nascent Soul Ancestors from the Beishu Continent. If they did not enter to investigate now, they feared that once the other Nascent Soul Cultivators from the Beishu Continent arrived, even he, being at the Nascent Soul Middle Stage, might have to give way.

“Agreed, let’s settle on that!” Ancestor Lu quickly discussed with the other Nascent Soul Ancestors and soon responded loudly.

He reached out and gently slapped to emit a palm force, and Elder Jin Kai also released a palm force. The two collided in midair with a crisp sound.

Th𝙞ѕ ςhӑp𝘵𝑒r 𝚒𝖘 p𝕠𝖘𝑡𝗲đ b𝓎 𝐾𝚒𝑡ꬲɳ𝖔ⱽҽ𝑙

“Agreed,” said Elder Jin Kai in a deep voice.

Both parties were satisfied with the agreement.

Each side had its own calculations; Elder Jin Kai was worried about the other Nascent Soul Ancestors from the Beishu Continent arriving, while the Beishu Continent’s Nascent Soul Ancestors were worried about cultivators who had already entered taking the Spiritual Objects inside the Grotto Heaven.

Preparing how to enter the Grotto Heaven, the eight Nascent Soul Ancestors from the Beishu Continent hesitated a bit. Although there was an agreement, if Elder Jin Kai entered first, they feared that it would be very difficult to defend against a sneak attack from him in the meantime.

“You can enter first, we will follow afterward!” Elder Jin Kai saw their hesitation and waved his hand, saying.

Since they had decided to cooperate, they needed to show some sincerity.

In fact, this arrangement was beneficial to Elder Jin Kai; being at the Nascent Soul Middle Stage, he naturally could find more Spiritual Objects in the Grotto Heaven.

With his familiarity with Grotto Heaven knowledge, he was confident he would not let the eight Nascent Soul Ancestors outdo him.

The eight Nascent Soul Ancestors maintained formation and entered the space gate one after another. With a shift in space, they appeared in a dark and chilly space.

“How eerie this place is!” Ancestor Lu found that his vision was greatly impaired, allowing him to see only about a hundred meters around, and exclaimed in alarm.

“Be careful, I have a very bad feeling!” Ancestor Lan Weiyan of the Yin Yang Sect whispered a warning.

Her spirit was the strongest among all the Nascent Soul Ancestors, and she sensed a dangerous aura.

“It’s best to form a war formation, I sense the presence of ghosts!” Venerable Huike said gravely.

A Spiritual Object on him was emitting a soft glow, illuminating his position.

But he was far from joyful, as this object was a sensing treasure with a very powerful effect on life forms with souls.

At this moment, the light from the treasure indicated that ghosts of not low grade were nearby.

Just as the eight Nascent Soul Ancestors were forming a war formation, Elder Jin Kai appeared. Seeing the actions of the eight Nascent Soul Ancestors, he was momentarily taken aback, but then he relaxed upon realizing they were not planning to attack him.

He did not wish to fight with the eight Nascent Soul Ancestors inside the Grotto Heaven either, as the situation inside was still unclear, and if something got destroyed during a fight, it would be regrettable.

His gaze moved away from the eight Nascent Soul Ancestors and upon landing on something in the distance, his expression changed as well.

“We must join forces to protect ourselves!” Elder Jin Kai said to the eight Nascent Soul Ancestors solemnly.

Ancestor Ren Xun, who had just entered, was unaware of what had happened. Hearing his words, at first, he thought he had misheard, but after seeing the approaching entity, he promptly moved closer to Elder Jin Kai.
