Eternal Life: Hundredfold Rewards-Chapter 259 - 161: Struggle! Surprise!

At this moment, the hearts of everyone from the various sects were pounding wildly.

Fortunately, that massive Tier Three Demon Beast merely cast a cold glance at everyone and then withdrew its gaze, gradually flying towards the distant horizon.

As the terrifying pressure dissipated, all forty Foundation Establishment cultivators present, including the Five Sects Elders at Foundation Establishment Perfection, let out a heavy sigh, and the sense of fear within their hearts finally dissipated.

But immediately, a sharp light flashed in the eyes of everyone, and in the next moment, they all raised their heads, transforming into streams of escape light, shooting into the sky, rushing towards the mountains ahead.

The reason being, since the Tier Three Demon Beast had left, it was now time to compete for the Celestial Spirit Gang Qi within the mountains.

Whoosh whoosh!

At the Wind Moon Sect’s formation, Situ Jiang also led Qi Chuan and nine others, transforming into escape light and rushing out.

"Listen to my commands later, act according to the situation, spare no cost in seizing the Celestial Spirit Gang Qi, even if we must retreat a thousand steps, at least don’t let the Celestial Soul Hall get it!"

As they rushed out, Situ Jiang’s voice transmission also reached everyone’s ears.

Including Qi Chuan, all the Wind Moon Sect Foundation Establishment Middle and Late Stage cultivators nodded slightly.

Celestial Soul Hall was originally an enemy of Wind Moon Sect, how could they allow the Celestial Spirit Gang Qi to bolster the opponent?

Unlike others, Qi Chuan knew the current situation of the Profound Sword True Master. If the Celestial Spirit Gang Qi fell into the hands of the Celestial Soul Hall, it would obviously worsen the situation for Wind Moon Sect.

Moreover, Qi Chuan himself was in dire need of this Celestial Spirit Gang Qi.

As long as there was a slight chance, he would definitely strive to seize it.

Most of the time, one bides time to survive.

But at this moment, in the face of the opportunity for Core Formation, biding time is not as good as fighting!

Whoosh whoosh!

The sound of piercing through the air resounded. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎

During the rush, the people from the Five Sects had no leisure to act against each other before seeing the Celestial Spirit Gang Qi, but their eyes carried a hint of crimson eagerness as they headed towards their goal.

In such a situation, the leaders of the Five Sects, who were at Foundation Establishment Perfection, did not stray too far from their respective sect teams.

After all, being at Foundation Establishment Perfection is strong, but it’s not Core Formation. It’s still within the Foundation Establishment Late Stage Realm, just another way of saying Peak of Foundation Establishment Late Stage, and can still be overwhelmed by a larger number of Foundation Establishment Late Stage cultivators, hence it’s necessary to stay with their sect teams.

Moreover, they needed to ensure the safety of the numerous Foundation Establishment within their teams, lest they fail to seize the Celestial Spirit Gang Qi, and instead, the Foundation Establishment cultivators they brought were besieged and wiped out by other sects.

So, the teams from the Five Sects flew past some peaks and rivers, gradually penetrating the vast mountains, and finally arrived at a giant lake within the mountains.

This lake had an extremely calm surface, almost eerily so, without any ripples.

"Roar..."

The sounds of demon beasts’ roars echoed from beneath the lake surface.

However, even so, the Five Sects’ teams only paused slightly before diving directly into the lake water.

This was because the leaders from the Five Sects had informed their teams that there would be no Tier Three Demon Beasts beneath the lake, at most a Tier Two Top Grade Demon Beast, equivalent to Foundation Establishment Perfection.

With only Foundation Establishment Perfection to face, it was clearly impossible to deter everyone’s greed for the opportunity of Core Formation, so the people from the Five Sects didn’t hesitate for a moment.

Qi Chuan followed Situ Jiang into the lake, and his vision changed dramatically; the lake water turned incomparably azure, like an ocean, yet his Divine Sense couldn’t probe far, as the lake water seemed to naturally block the Divine Soul.

More importantly, the lake water was filled with an indescribable intense heaviness, bringing immense pressure, causing even Qi Chuan, at Foundation Establishment Late Stage, to greatly slow down.

"Could this be due to the Celestial Spirit Gang Qi?" Qi Chuan thought inwardly.

He then looked back, seeing three Wind Moon Sect elders at Foundation Establishment Middle Stage, all slightly flushed as if under immense pressure, their speed reduced even more than his own.

Only the other four at Foundation Establishment Late Stage barely kept up with him but were also falling behind.

Looking forward again, as one at Foundation Establishment Perfection, Situ Jiang appeared to be much at ease.

"Try to keep up!"

Ahead, Situ Jiang glanced back, his mind growing heavier, speaking in a low voice.

Clearly, he hadn’t expected such changes after entering the lake.

Currently, the advantage of Wind Moon Sect didn’t lie with him but rather with the fact that the overall team was quite intact, tied for the top with North Magnetic Mountain. The Celestial Soul Hall, Profound Pill Sect, and Valley of Myriad Beasts couldn’t compare. With such an advantage, Wind Moon Sect’s chance of securing the Celestial Spirit Gang Qi was higher than that of other sects.

However, if due to the immense pressure within the lake, the Foundation Establishment Middle and Late Stage cultivators couldn’t keep up, relying solely on himself, Wind Moon Sect’s advantage would vanish, and the probability of successfully obtaining the Celestial Spirit Gang Qi would plummet to virtually one-fifth.

This outcome was clearly not what Situ Jiang wanted to see.

He hoped to bring everyone, with nine people, jointly seize the Celestial Spirit Gang Qi for a greater chance.

"Yes, Sect Leader."

Hearing this, aside from Qi Chuan, the other seven Foundation Establishment Middle and Late Stage cultivators all nodded heavily, faces slightly flushed as they circulated their internal Mana to resist the immense pressure in the lake water.
