Chapter 481 - 299: Divine Sight Stage 2
The rain poured heavily, and everywhere was silent.
Suddenly, within the crowd watching the battle, many people suddenly rushed towards the Beidou Bang’s base. They were all skilled martial artists, and as they moved, many martial world people from Yiling City also surged out, all heading towards the Beidou Bang’s base.
On a small hill outside the city,
Gai Qingcheng held an umbrella, looked at those rushing towards the Beidou Bang’s base, and squinted slightly, softly saying, "People die for wealth, birds die for food; in the end, they couldn’t hold back!"
A grandmaster frowned and said, "Patriarch, aren’t these people afraid of Marquis Gu settling accounts afterward?"
"Afraid," Gai Qingcheng said flatly, "No one isn’t afraid; Marquis Gu’s current power is more terrifying than the title of the number one grandmaster in the world, who wouldn’t be afraid?"
The grandmaster was surprised and said, "Then why are they still..."
Gai Qingcheng chuckled lightly and said, "But, those in the martial world, who isn’t trading their life for their future? And now, there might be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity in the Beidou Bang, how many people can resist the temptation? See, even top sects like the Dao Pavilion and Yijian Sect might not be able to resist, let alone those martial world wanderers and ordinary sects."
The grandmaster was taken aback and said, "That’s true, even though no one can be sure that Marquis Gu’s cultivation method is in the Beidou Bang, those in the martial world are betting on that one-in-a-million chance."
Another elder said calmly, "If it weren’t for the ties that I cannot sever as a member of the Gu Family, I wouldn’t be able to resist. This is an opportunity to break through martial arts limits, bigger than a Grotto Heaven opportunity. It’s a cultivation method that promises the pinnacle of the world if attained. No martial artist in the world can refuse it, especially those already at the peak of martial arts, for whom a chance to break martial arts limits is enough to drive them mad, enough to make them reckless!"
This was a supreme grandmaster of the Gu Family, someone who had already reached the peak of martial arts and saw no hope in Grotto Heaven. More than most in the world, he understood the allure of Gu Zhan’s creation, the realm called Divine Sight, to these supreme grandmasters.
Before the Divine Sight Realm appeared,
There was only one Grotto Heaven Realm, but the Grotto Heaven Technique was controlled by the Three Sects, Four Families, and Eight Great Sects, making it impossible for outsiders to obtain. Additionally, there was another significant issue: the Grotto Heaven Technique had significant limitations; not even one in a hundred supreme grandmasters possessed that Immortal Fate, shattering the hopes of many.
However,
Now it’s different,
An opportunity to break martial arts limits is right in front of them,
And just now, Gu Zhan left, without Gu Zhan, the Beidou Bang is like a fool possessing a treasure they can’t guard, ineligible to hold onto this opportunity.
When Gu Zhan stood here with the unmatched power of having slain the Elder Celestial Master, no matter how restless their hearts, how uncontrollable their impulses, these people dared not entertain a single thought.
But now Gu Zhan has left,
And they can basically guess that Gu Zhan has gone to kill Wei Wuya.
No one cares whether Gu Zhan or Wei Wuya is stronger,
They only know that since Gu Zhan has left, they have their chance.
As for whether they will be settled with afterward,
The world is vast, where can’t one hide?
As long as they can obtain the Method of Divine Sight, even if they have to hide from now on, so what?
That’s an opportunity to break through martial arts limits!
Raindrops flowed down the edge of the umbrella like strings of beads, and Gai Qingcheng said slowly, "Enter the city, fight a battle for Marquis Gu as a greeting gift!"
The elder asked, "Patriarch, have you already made up your mind?"
Gai Qingcheng’s face was calm and said, "Although the Gu Family has been passed down for thousands of years, in the face of an evildoer like Marquis Gu, this heritage has no meaning or sense of superiority. In the long river of history, there are always those who can change the rules, and fortunately, we’ve encountered one in our era."
...
In Yiling City, amid the drenching downpour,
A dense crowd of martial world men rushed towards Beidou Bang’s temporary headquarters. The tide of people swelled, the sound of their dense footsteps drowned out the rain, and the sound of weapons being drawn occasionally resounded as each skilled martial artist swiftly moved through the heavy rain.
Outside the Beidou Bang headquarters,
A military unit was arrayed in battle formation, their horses’ hooves clapping like thunder, their fighting spirit rising to the sky, solemn and dignified, with low horse cries continuously ringing.
Nangong Weiyang stood at the forefront with a Fangtian Halberd in hand, raindrops falling on her battle armor, splashing into fine water flowers.
Soon, the dense crowd appeared.
Nangong Weiyang waved her Fangtian Halberd, a thunderous blade descended from the sky, blasting onto the plaza, and she slowly said, "Those who cross the line, kill without mercy!"
The tide of people paused slightly,
An old man with white hair stepped forward and said in a loud voice, "Nangong Weiyang, we do not wish for meaningless slaughter; we only seek the Method of Divine Sight. Breaking through martial arts limits is a boon for all under heaven. It should be shared; the Beidou Bang hoarding it is putting themselves against all under heaven!"
Nangong Weiyang slowly raised the Fangtian Halberd, pointing it at the old man, saying, "The Method of Divine Sight was created by my lord Marquis Yun. What are you to dare come and seize it?"
Another grandmaster wielding a large knife shouted, "The Method of Divine Sight appearing in the world is a gift from the heavens. It should belong to all martial artists under heaven. How can it be enjoyed by one just because they created it? Nangong Weiyang, stand aside quickly, otherwise..."
At that moment, the dense crowd collectively took a step forward, crossing over the line Nangong Weiyang had drawn.
