Originally, the All Heavens Sect could have quietly activated this treasure without inviting so many people to this place.
The reason they had gathered so many here was their absolute confidence in seizing the so-called treasure.
After some observation, Chu Feng not only noticed that Nangong Yifan was brimming with confidence.
He also sensed something unusual about Nangong Yifan, as if he carried a faint, peculiar aura.
Thus, Chu Feng began to observe closely, even using his Heavenly Eye.
After careful scrutiny, Chu Feng discovered that Nangong Yifan bore the same aura as the stone box.
“The All Heavens Sect is quite despicable,” he thought.
At this moment, Chu Feng understood where Nangong Yifan’s confidence came from.
When the treasure was first obtained, the other five major forces each took a key, as all five keys were needed to open the stone box.
The All Heavens Sect, meanwhile, was granted the right to safeguard the stone box.
But it wasn’t just about the stone box. They had been trying every method to probe its power, attempting to gain an advantage from it.
It seemed they had succeeded, though Chu Feng didn’t know exactly what kind of power they had obtained.
At the very least, the aura of the stone box on Nangong Yifan was proof of this.
“Everyone, listen carefully. The dangers within this bounded world are still unknown. You’ll have to explore and discover them yourselves after entering.”
“Your task is to retrieve the treasure hidden within this bounded world.”
“But since the treasure is limited, competition is inevitable. Let me make it clear: fighting is allowed, but it must be restrained. You must not take lives, cripple cultivations, or cause severe injuries.”
“If anyone dares to violate this, no matter which force they belong to, the six major forces will jointly punish them.”
The resounding voice of the All Heavens Sect echoed with authority, carrying a strong tone of warning.
In response, the younger generation present replied in unison, indicating they would abide by the rules.
“One more thing, the most important point: do you see the pattern on that mirror?”
“That represents time. You will have only ten hours this time.”
“After ten hours, you will be expelled from the bounded world.”
The head of the All Heavens Sect pointed to the shrinking pattern on the mirror.
“So that’s time?”
“This bounded world has a time limit?”
Hearing this, many in the crowd were surprised.
But the people from the six major forces, including their younger members, showed little reaction.
Clearly, they already knew there was a time limit within the bounded world.
“When the time is up, you will all be teleported out of the bounded world.”
“But the key point is that this bounded world can only be opened once. You have only one chance.”
“To be precise, you have only ten hours, so you could say you bear a heavy responsibility.”
“Success or failure rests on your shoulders.”
“Go, complete your task. Whoever obtains that legendary treasure will be the pride of our six major forces.”
After the head of the All Heavens Sect finished speaking, the disciples of the six major forces immediately set off, rushing towards the bounded world.
However, with only five entrances, two of the forces were destined to enter the same one.
The forces entering the same entrance were the Wind Thunder Sword Sect and the Nine Stars Heavenly Mountain.
At this moment, the disciples of both sects were gathered in one place.
Whether from the Wind Thunder Sword Sect or the Nine Stars Heavenly Mountain, their gazes towards each other were filled with hostility.
Chu Feng already knew why this was the case.
It stemmed from an incident some time ago.
The six major forces were allies, so cooperation was common.
But not long ago, when the Wind Thunder Sword Sect and the Nine Stars Heavenly Mountain worked together to explore a ruin, an unpleasant conflict arose.
An elder from the Wind Thunder Sword Sect had injured an elder from the Nine Stars Heavenly Mountain, and it was said the injury was quite severe.
This incident had spread among both sects.
The disciples here, with their exceptional talents and youthful arrogance, had long resolved in secret, even scheming, to teach the other sect’s disciples a lesson once inside the bounded world, to avenge their respective elders.
“This junior sister is quite charming. The bounded world is full of dangers, so why don’t you follow your senior brother? I’ll protect you.”
Before even entering the bounded world, a male disciple from the Nine Stars Heavenly Mountain cast his gaze on Bai Lulu from the Wind Thunder Sword Sect.
Though his words sounded kind, his tone was clearly teasing Bai Lulu.
And this wasn’t just any disciple.
His name was Song Jinglun, a second-rank Venerable and the strongest disciple of the Nine Stars Heavenly Mountain.
“Song Jinglun, my junior brothers and sisters from the Wind Thunder Sword Sect don’t need your protection. Just take care of your own people from the Nine Stars Heavenly Mountain.”
Ouyang Pingzhi spoke up.
“I’m talking to that junior sister. Who are you to interrupt? What are you?”
Song Jinglun’s words were spoken softly, but since the disciples of both sects were gathered together, everyone heard them clearly.
This caused the faces of the Wind Thunder Sword Sect disciples to fill with anger.
Faced with Song Jinglun’s provocative words, Ouyang Pingzhi naturally wouldn’t back down.
“Song Jinglun, trading verbal jabs is meaningless. Why don’t we settle this inside the bounded world?” Ouyang Pingzhi said.
“So what if I’m trading verbal jabs? If you’ve got the guts, make a move now.”
“Coward, too scared, huh? I’d say you’re the one who’s all talk and no action.”
Song Jinglun looked at Ouyang Pingzhi with a mocking expression.
With Song Jinglun’s repeated provocations, Ouyang Pingzhi’s face also showed anger.
But he knew Song Jinglun was deliberately goading him.
Fighting inside the bounded world could be excused, but making a move outside would be seen as a personal grudge, making them a laughingstock.
At this moment, Chu Feng spoke up, his tone far from friendly. “Are you going in or not? If not, get out of the way and don’t waste my time.”
Hiss—
His words were loud, drawing the attention of not only the disciples of both sects but also many onlookers in the stands.
But upon seeing Chu Feng, people were astonished.
A common thought arose in many minds.
Who is this guy, daring to speak like that?
