Chapter 126 - First Mission: Sub-Realm Exploration! (2/2)

----------

Standing outside of the Asura Phantom Palace's spatial entrance, several thousand individuals were spread out amongst various groups. Each and every character here had a cultivation base at least within the late-Origin Core Realm! In the Xiantu Realm, there were many grand-tier and imperial-tier forces. After hearing the public news that the Xiantu Emperor will be opening the Asura Phantom Palace for all to explore, for all to gain their own opportunities, how could they not rush here?

It was not only them, but even those outside of the Xiantu Realm decided to try their chances at claiming from treasure.

Some were here for hopes of breaking through into the True Essence Realm. Some were here to even prepare in formulating their Heavenly Shrine! It wasn't just humanoid races but divine beasts as well were among the people here.

Yan Zaizen, in a flash of silver light, appeared several hundred li away from this gathered ground. His eyes scanned his surroundings, and he was immediately shocked by what he saw. He could see giants! Not just humanoid ones, but divine beasts that were the size of several hundred meters in height or length. A gigantic bird with four wings sat peacefully among a group of other beasts, it would move its wings sometimes as if motioning in conversation. It was very human-like.

He could see many differently dressed cultivators, some in unified outfits or armors, others dressed in their unique garments. There was even a group of twelve cultivators, all of which had an aura that could casually rival half-step True Essence experts in intensity. Each of them donned heavy, black armor that released wisps of a deathly aura. It came off the armor like smoke from a fire. Many experts stayed a certain distance away from them but didn't seem too concerned.

What shocked him greater than before were the humanoid-figures that looked like a mixture of beast and man. There was a man covered in gray-hair, had long, sharp canine teeth, and a splendid physique that could rival his own. It looked like he was a mixture of a wolf and man. His expression, however, was filled with a soft gaze as he chuckled in his group in merry conversation.

It truly was a sharp contrast to what he believed a wolf-man would look like.

”So many experts…” He remarked, noticing hundreds of auras with deep true-essence or vital energy that seemed to produce faint reverberations in the surrounding space with every breath. He couldn't tell their exact cultivation base, but he could be sure that some rivaled mid, late, and even peak-True Essence experts.

Recalling his hired assignment, he scanned the surroundings. Apparently, he was hired by an imperial-tier Xiantu Continent's force named White Crane Sect. From Old Tai's description, it was fairly similar to the Water Veiled Sect in terms of its members. It primarily accepted females as its primary cultivators. He was surprised at being requested by such a sect, but it seems a Perfect Aurora Soul Realm cultivation base was too rare to put an emphasis on gender, or perhaps they didn't consider him a threat.

”Oh?” It seemed he wasn't the only one who was apart of the Anima Syndicate here; the Xiāo City Lord was also within the crowd of experts. He stood there without the normal pride in his eyes, but instead, his gaze contained heightened vigilance. As a grand-tier alchemist, it made sense that he would be brought along by a force. They could bring one incredible insight into specific materials, possesses an array of pills or elixirs that may help at a critical moment, and could conjure pills at a moment's notice if required.

He didn't only just recognize the Xiāo City Lord, but within what seemed to be a gathering of elite experts of Presba, Yao Wuhen stood beautifully to the side. She usually carried herself with profound elegance and pride, but she was rather cautious and humble at the moment.

”Seems like this exploration attempt has garnered the attention of all within the Fallen Stars Continent, Mystic Wave Continent, and even the Xiantu Continent. Perhaps...even those outside of it.” He softly muttered to himself, realizing for the very first time the gravity of the situation. These people were gathered by the thousands, and each held a profound cultivation base which would allow them to rule countless people! Yet, here they were, willing to venture into the unknown for benefits.

This was the first time he'd ever experienced such a thing. For some odd reason, he felt that he should've started with smaller explorations. Unfortunately, with his rapid cultivation enhancement, he couldn't receive experience from such things when he could casually decimate all things with a swipe of his finger. Now, however, his first time venturing into a sub-realm had a high chance of being dangerous and lethal. A competition filled with peak experts with a myriad of methods at their disposal.

He felt somewhat relieved that his primary job was to act as a guide. At least, he wouldn't overestimate himself.

Eyes flickering, he found the elegantly dressed group of White Crane Sect members. With a step, he slowly approached.
