In the distance, the barrier surrounding the Void Shadow Divine Palace was surrounded by countless people trying to get inside.
But most of the strong cultivators couldn't find a way in.
The surrounding mountains and trees were all part of the Thousand Illusion Formation. Breaking in was no easy task.
Among these cultivators were both demon tribes and humans, eyeing each other warily. However, none of them seemed eager to start a fight at this moment, maintaining a certain distance between one another.
If a battle broke out, nobody would come out on top, and they might even lose their chance to enter the Void Shadow Divine Palace. There were only ten days—if they failed to get inside within that window, getting in next time would be extremely difficult.
Each of these streams of light was a part of the Thousand Illusion Formation.
Outside the formation alone, there were tens of thousands of people, all unable to find a way in.
"How do we get in?" Wuya Zi looked at Nie Li and asked.
"The time hasn't come yet. In two more hours, around noon, we'll be able to find a flaw in the Thousand Illusion Formation," Nie Li replied, glancing at Wuya Zi.
"Oh." Wuya Zi nodded. For now, he had to trust Nie Li. Though he wasn't sure whether Nie Li was telling the truth, he had a feeling that Nie Li really could find the entrance to the formation.
Nie Li continued tempering the demon blood within his body.
Far beyond the Void Shadow Divine Palace.
A group arrived outside the Void Shadow Divine Palace—over thirty Heavenly Rotation Realm cultivators in total, led by
Long Tianming stood outside the palace, gazing intently into its depths.
"Young Master, breaking through the Thousand Illusion Formation is extremely difficult, and there are many powerful demon cultivators nearby. Why did you come here in person?" One of his retainers, clad in golden armor, cupped his fists and addressed Long Tianming.
"The path of cultivation waits for no one. This Void Shadow Divine Palace was left behind by a great power. There may be a legacy hidden inside, and even the slightest chance is worth pursuing." As Long Tianming stepped forward, waves of spiritual energy condensed around him. He had already reached the Heavenly Rotation Realm.
He had fused with a divine-grade growth-type dragon blood demon spirit, making his cultivation far stronger than ordinary Heavenly Rotation Realm cultivators. A first-level Heavenly Rotation Realm cultivator with a divine-grade growth-type dragon blood demon spirit could completely challenge a ninth-level one—such was the power of a divine-grade growth-type dragon blood demon spirit!
Long Tianming tried to sense the entrance of the Thousand Illusion Formation, but his brows were knitted together as he remained silent.
Seeing Long Tianming's silence, the others stood respectfully, not daring to speak.
In the distance, some demon cultivators noticed Long Tianming and his group but didn't come looking for trouble. After all, Long Tianming had over thirty Heavenly Rotation Realm cultivators with him. Unless someone was at the Dragon Path Realm, most people wouldn't dare provoke them.
The crowd around the Thousand Illusion Formation kept growing, and tensions between the demon tribes and human cultivators escalated. Skirmishes broke out from time to time.
After cultivating for a while, Nie Li began studying the Thousand Illusion Formation. He walked along its outer edge, examining it closely.
Wuya Zi immediately followed behind him.
"Why are you sticking so close?" Nie Li glanced back at Wuya Zi and asked. The man was practically glued to his side.
