Chapter 224 You learn so fast!
After some sorting out, Kongming finally managed to figure things out.
It turns out that the reason why so many cultivators gathered in Kousheng City was because the three ancient families had used some kind of supernatural power to calculate that a mysterious secret realm was about to open in Kousheng City.
This secret realm is actually intricately connected with the ancient god Gu Xuan.
Legend has it that after Gu Xuan left this world in pursuit of a higher realm, he left behind five national treasures.
What's even more astonishing is that he left behind numerous magical treasures, exquisite martial arts techniques, and even his unique insights into the laws of heaven and earth.
These things are like a fatal temptation to any cultivator, enough to drive them crazy and make them flock to them.
"Five national treasures!"
Upon realizing this, Kongming was suddenly startled.
Now, he has mastered three of them. With the help of the Seven Stars Divine Transformation Technique, he forcibly linked the three treasures and sensed that the method to unlock the secret of the Gilded Cauldron was within the range of this Holy City.
However, when he actually set foot on this place, this feeling inexplicably disappeared, as if it had been blocked by an invisible force.
"Could the key to unlocking the gilded cauldron lie within this secret realm?"
He speculated that what he had sensed before was perhaps only a general location. And since the secret realm hadn't yet opened, it was highly likely that the sealing power of the realm was blocking his senses.
Kongming's lips curled up slightly as he thought to himself, "It seems that we really have no choice but to enter this secret realm!"
What puzzled him was that, putting aside the matter of the national treasure, since many experts had previously asserted that it was nothing more than a name that sounded impressive but was actually useless.
However, just the fact that this secret realm is related to the ancient mysteries tells us how immense the opportunities it contains are.
Such a rare opportunity should have been kept by the three ancient families, so why go to such lengths to gather so many independent cultivators?
Kongming took a deep breath. He had a vague intuition that there must be a deeper reason behind this matter. However, with the information he currently had, it was difficult to determine the details.
Looking around, the people gathered in this hall were all rogue cultivators with extremely limited knowledge. If they continued to sit there, they probably wouldn't be able to find any more valuable information.
"go!"
Kongming made a quick decision and got up to walk towards the 'Heavenly' area.
As soon as they approached the entrance to the "Heavenly" area, they saw two burly cultivators dressed in black, standing guard like two gatekeepers.
One of the guards, his eyes flashing like lightning, swept over Kong Ming and his companions and coldly shouted, "Halt! Anyone who trespasses into the 'Heavenly' zone will be killed without mercy!"
"Why can they go, but we can't?" Zhu Ganglie was immediately displeased and shouted, pointing at the backs of Ji Wushuang and her group who had just entered the "Heavenly" area.
"Who do you think you are? Young Master Wushuang is of noble status, how could you ignorant rogue cultivators compare to him? Get lost..."
The guard sized up Kongming and his companions, and seeing that they were of average appearance, he immediately reprimanded them.
Perhaps Kongming's words had an effect, for this time Zhu Bajie was no longer timid and stood up straight, shouting, "Rogue cultivator... rogue cultivator... cultivator your mother..."
After saying that, he couldn't help but look at Kongming with a smug expression.
Kongming looked helpless. This guy was a bit slow on the uptake. He had only said it casually, but the guy actually remembered it. He was being incredibly annoying, regardless of the situation...
"You're courting death! Today I'll tear you to pieces, you foul-mouthed bastard!"
Enraged by Zhu Ganglie's insults, the guard condensed his spiritual energy into a sharp blade and pounced on Zhu Ganglie like a ghost.
Kongming's eyes sharpened, and with a light tap of his feet, he moved like lightning, instantly blocking Zhu Ganglie's path and casually unleashing a palm strike.
This seemingly casual palm strike carried a sharp force, instantly suppressing the originally aggressive guard.
He was struck dumb, his forward momentum halted abruptly, as if grabbed by an invisible giant hand and slammed heavily against a stone wall several meters away, causing rocks to fall in a shower...
