The Sect Leader Has Taken in a New Female Disciple-Chapter 694 - 234: Crazy Scoring, Adoration for Lu Yaoyao (6k)_2
They even openly released their Divine Senses to confirm if he had truly entered the Divinity Transformation stage.
Zhou Qing ignored them and instead turned his gaze to the other incoming glances.
The Sect Leader of the Golden Thunder Sect, Lei Wuji, along with Lei Lie beside him, looked him up and down. Upon noticing Zhou Qing looking over, they slightly nodded as a greeting.
Not wanting to be hostile towards friendly faces, Zhou Qing simply cupped his hands in response and then looked towards the Cyan Feather Immortal Sect.
Immortal Xuan You, surrounded by several elderly women, still looked the same as ever.
Seeing Zhou Qing look over, she smiled and gently nudged Zhu He forward.
Zhu He, carrying three long swords on her back, appeared reluctant but still stepped forward.
Such a scene caused Zhou Qing to feel a bit awkward.
After all, Master had already explicitly refused her.
Subsequently, he turned his body slightly and looked towards the final location - Sikong Yan of the Cangyan Daoist Palace.
After a brief exchange of glances, Sikong Yan unexpectedly gave him a thumbs-up, showing appreciation.
Seeing the tag "fish" above his head, Zhou Qing frowned.
Mo Xingjian gently tugged at him and whispered, "Ignore it!"
Zhou Qing nodded and refocused his attention on the ripples constantly fluctuating in front of him.
Gathered here were almost entirely practitioners of the Divinity Transformation stage, with the Cyan Feather Immortal Sect and Golden Thunder Sect even proposing an alliance with Cao Zhengyang through voice transmission.
They hoped to watch each other's backs and jointly divide the treasures inside.
Already in a foul mood, there was no way Cao Zhengyang would agree to this. He could only brush them off vaguely.
"Master, we can't go in!" Zhou Qing said gravely via voice transmission.
Cao Zhengyang nodded. He hadn't intended to go inside this time, only showed up to avoid suspicion.
Previously, unaware that this place led to the first sarcophagus, he would have gone in no matter what.
But now, knowing a powerful Spirit Severing stage entity was lurking inside, going in recklessly would be sheer madness.
As time ticked by, it became increasingly clear that this Secret Realm entrance might actually solidify completely.
But it would take at least another day to fully stabilize.
[Ignore Points +1]
Soon, a notification sound echoed, and Zhou Qing's eyes lit up as he discreetly glanced at his master and uncle-master.
Almost everyone was focused on the rippling scene, a tense atmosphere enveloping all Divinity Transformation stage cultivators' hearts.
[Ignore Points +3]
[Ignore Points +2]
Shortly after, the notification sound rang again, making Zhou Qing increasingly excited.
He fervently prayed that none of his acquaintances would notice him, hoping this great opportunity would last a bit longer.
[Ignore Points +3]
[Ignore Points +4]
...
By the next day, the scene before them finally stabilized completely, and everyone grew excited.
Mo Xingjian leaned closer to Zhou Qing and whispered, "Once they go in, we'll return to the sect!"
Zhou Qing nodded and quickly checked his personal interface.
[Lowering Presence - LV5 (88/100)]
It was a pity; he almost leveled up to six.
Nevertheless, this was still excellent, as now he had an 88% chance of being overlooked by all Divinity Transformation stage cultivators, far superior to his second uncle's precious Invisibility Talisman.
In the Divinity Transformation stage circle, he could practically become invisible.
Watching the others eager yet hesitant to step forward, Zhou Qing conducted another assessment.
The results remained the same as yesterday, with no new information revealed.
"Go!"
Lingyun Mansion's Master Xiao Ji and Qingming Mansion's Master Ren Kun, along with Su Lishan, were the first to step into the mysterious entrance, heading straight towards the Red Tower.
Next, the Vast Mansion's Master and the Star River Mansion's Master, accompanied by Wu Tiangang, also entered.
With these two stronghold pioneers leading the way, the remaining participants no longer hesitated and surged in as well.
Afterwards, numerous Nascent Soul and Golden Core cultivators emerged from all directions, frantically charging inside.
"Return!" Forcing himself to suppress his frustration, Cao Zhengyang decisively turned and flew towards the sky above the abyss. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶
Compared to fortune, they now had more pressing matters to attend to.
...
On the way back, Zhou Qing learned of the countermeasures devised by the Supreme Elder and others.
If the Wandering Souls in the Gravity Zone were indeed controlled by the Ghost Emperor from the first sarcophagus, and so many people had gone in, would it still have the energy to interfere elsewhere?
In other words, the Gravity Zone should have returned to normal by now.
Furthermore, Zhou Qing had already informed Mo Xingjian about the three Dead Crows perched on their shoulders and foreheads last time.
If all went well, the Supreme Elders should have crossed that passage by now, staring at the six sarcophagi beneath that ancient tree across the Blood River.
Fortunes aside, their primary concern was to prevent any harm from befalling the Taiqing Sect.
Besides, even if all six sarcophagi were divided among others, they'd still have five remaining.
"I've already shown myself at the Spirit Skull Mountain, so others won't suspect much. At most, they'll think I ran away out of fear." Cao Zhengyang stated gravely.
"Now, our top priority is to ensure no one emerges from the sarcophagi and sees things they shouldn't."
Zhou Qing nodded thoughtfully, then looked at Cao Zhengyang with admiration.
If someone did come out from the first sarcophagus, they'd likely curiously survey their surroundings.
