"Iron Mask, Mingye says he has no interest in this Light Formation, so he won't be participating," Linghu Lun said nonchalantly.
Although Linghu Iron Mask was the undisputed leader of the Linghu Heavenly Clan within the Ancestral Martial Cultivation Realm, he and Linghu Lun were actually of the same generation. Both were geniuses carefully nurtured by the clan, and as such, their relationship was quite close.
Naturally, Linghu Lun didn't treat Linghu Iron Mask with the same reverence as the other clan members — instead, he carried himself like a brother.
However, what surprised people far more than their relationship was the arrival of Linghu Mingye.
Their conversation had confirmed what everyone had been speculating — Linghu Mingye, ranked among the Ten Prodigies of the Ancestral Martial Realm, had indeed entered the Ancestral Martial Cultivation Realm.
This was a disaster for everyone else. Linghu Iron Mask alone was already capable of dominating the entire realm, and now two more monsters — Linghu Mingye and Linghu Lun — had entered as well.
Were they even going to let people from other powers live? Within the Ancestral Martial Cultivation Realm, there was truly no one who could rival the Linghu Heavenly Clan anymore.
The gap was simply too vast.
"Mingye is being far too willful. Doesn't he know that this Light Formation is an opportunity for him?" Upon learning that Linghu Mingye had no intention of entering the Light Formation to cultivate, a trace of anger appeared on Linghu Iron Mask's already cold face.
"He knows — that's exactly why he feels it would be useless for him. Mingye has his own method of cultivation," Linghu Lun explained.
"Oh?" Hearing Linghu Lun's words, Linghu Iron Mask's expression shifted, and a look of sudden realization surfaced in his eyes.
He realized that Linghu Mingye had likely already mastered some particular cultivation technique. And compared to that technique, the effects of the Light Formation were indeed negligible.
With that thought, the look on Linghu Iron Mask's face improved considerably.
"Since Mingye isn't here, this is your opportunity. Don't disappoint me," Linghu Iron Mask said to Linghu Lun.
When he said this, the people from the Nightmare Spirit Clan and the Heaven-reaching Beast Clan all wore expressions of helplessness.
Everyone knew that how much one could achieve within the Light Formation was closely tied to one's own strength. And among the young prodigies present, Linghu Lun was clearly the strongest.
Not only would the prodigies of the Nightmare Spirit Clan and the Heaven-reaching Beast Clan not dare to cause trouble — even if they did, they simply didn't have the strength for it. With Linghu Mingye opting out of the Light Formation this time, the one who would benefit the most was, without question, Linghu Lun.
Hummmm— Right at that moment, a peculiar radiance suddenly surged from the barrier entrance of the Light Formation. At the same time, countless runes emerged from within, surging rapidly like schools of fish gathering in a lake.
"The Light Formation has been activated. All prodigies, prepare yourselves."
Seeing this, someone from the Linghu Heavenly Clan called out.
"That's not right."
But immediately after speaking, the same person's gaze shifted, and he couldn't help but shout.
Hearing his words, many people present also noticed the anomaly.
Something was indeed wrong.
The changes occurring at the barrier entrance didn't look like a simple case of the formation about to open.
Because whether it was the radiance or the runes surging within, they were all highly unusual.
Hummmm— At that very moment, the light from the barrier entrance grew increasingly blinding, and the runes intertwined with one another, forming shapes that resembled spirit beasts.
