Lan Cai'er stopped talking.
Qi Zifan became even more nervous and alert. There was really nothing he could say about this matter, and no place to reason.
He himself didn't know that the symbol on his forehead might actually be the foundation of the way of heaven, and it seemed that Lan Caier already had some doubts.
You can know a person’s face but not his heart.
Although Lan Caier seems trustworthy at the moment, who knows what she is thinking
How about slipping away
He pondered secretly.
That doesn't work either.
If he really ran away, wouldn't that be the same as admitting it? He couldn't run away, at least not now, otherwise, at least Lan Cai'er wouldn't be able to hide it.
Even if he really wanted to escape, he could only do so after the war broke out, when everyone was fighting for the suspected foundation of the Heavenly Dao and no one was paying attention to him.
"Besides, I also want to find out whether this is the foundation of the Heavenly Dao!"
"in the case of···"
If so, what should I do
Don't say anything, just run away, kill ten people, and then find the most secluded and safest place to hide for ten years.
Loot? Chance? It’s better not to think about it, otherwise you will be beaten to death by others if you are not careful!
"Be careful."
There was a wave of movement from Lan Cai'er, and then she gradually began to approach the eggshell.
Not only her, almost everyone was approaching and being wary of each other, but no one had taken action yet.
But once someone really takes action, a complete melee will break out, and no one will be able to stop it.
"It seems like you don't have any big ideas about me? However, you still can't let your guard down. The attraction of the Foundation of Heavenly Dao is too great, and no one can be trusted."
"Unless you have made a vow to the Heaven..."
Qi Zifan's mind raced as he calculated frantically.
At present, Zou Hu, Su Ye, and Lu Yao are trustworthy because they all made a vow to the Heaven before coming here that they would not hurt each other and would help each other if they could without endangering their own lives.
"But? Their strength is not enough..."
Qi Zifan frowned slightly.
It's not that Zou Hu and the other two are really at the bottom in terms of strength. In fact, they are considered to be below average? If the three of them join forces, they can still help.
But the current situation? Not to mention them? Even if I add myself, it’s not enough!
······
"Everyone!"
Li Xiuyuan's spiritual fluctuations spread far away, and everyone was affected.
"Now? The foundation of the Heavenly Dao is right in front of us? No one will give up, but there is only one copy of the Heavenly Dao. What should we do?"
Qi Mozi's voice transmission followed closely behind: "Of course, the one who is capable will get it!"
"The foundation of heaven is in front of us? There are enemies but no friends." Di Qing's divine thought came out for the third time.
"In that case..."
The heavy atmosphere completely exploded? The storm was no longer about to come, but had already broken out!
The entire Silent Valley was shaking. Laws, secret techniques, and magical powers suddenly erupted, and then a huge melee began!
At this moment, no one dared to form cliques. At most, there were only small teams of a dozen people, and they were not strong enough, so they had to form a team.
Otherwise? Once there are too many people, they will be killed by others tacitly working together.
Even the people from the nine heavenly palaces did not dare to join forces to target others. Even though they all had this idea in their minds, they did not dare to implement it.
Before coming, the elders from the nine heavenly palaces had all told us that if we could find the foundation of the Heavenly Dao, we must do everything we can, even at all costs, to get it, and its owner can only belong to one of the nine heavenly palaces!
But now they are helpless as there are too many people.
Not only can they not join forces, they can only fight each other.
After all, they have a criminal record, so who would believe them? If they don't fight each other, they will probably be beaten to death in the first place.
Even a fake fight is not allowed, it has to be real!
"Damn Fifth Zhongmou!"
"It's not a pity to die ten thousand times!"
At this moment, the first sequence of the nine heavenly palaces were all cursing Fifth Zhongmou in their hearts.
This is so uncomfortable.
Their individual strengths are clearly very strong, and they can work together, so under normal circumstances, how could they be so aggrieved
For example, if they suddenly get the news of the Foundation of Heaven, they can join forces in a short period of time, gather a lot of people, snatch it away, and then slowly decide on its ownership.
But now... with such a large group of people eyeing us covetously, if we dare to join forces, we will die, and we can only "consume waste our time and energy".
But there is nothing I can do...
And in the melee, some people took an unconventional approach.
Lan Cai'er was one of them. She had disappeared without a trace at some point, leaving only a few inconspicuous poisonous insects that avoided the aftermath of the battle between others and approached the glowing 'egg'.
However, others are not blind.
A large amount of divine light came along with several treasures, and the poisonous insects exploded on the spot and turned into a pool of pus.
Lan Caier appeared passively and fought back with the magical power of the Holy Witch Body. At the same time, Li Xiuyuan's spiritual consciousness spread throughout the venue.
"Whether it's Lan Cai'er or anyone else, anyone who dares to sneak up on us and try to take advantage of us will be our public enemy!"
Lan Caier's face immediately darkened, but she was unable to refute. She turned around and found an opponent to fight against.
The melee is escalating.
Qi Zi, Fan and the other three, however, had not participated yet. They were standing relatively far away, watching and communicating with their spiritual consciousness.
Su Ye obviously wanted to retreat: "Why don't we retreat for now? Although the treasure is good, you have to be alive to get it."
"That's true. Although it's a bit discouraging and helpless, our strength compared to these people..." Zou Hu felt uncomfortable.
He was a reckless man. When he was in the world of immortal cultivation, he didn't care who his opponent was. As long as they were of the same generation, he would just fight them if they didn't agree.
There are treasures? They must be robbed, no need to think about it.
But now, seeing these first-order battles from the more powerful ones in the heavens and myriad worlds, he could hardly muster the heart to resist.
So strong!
Although he was not the weakest among these people, he was definitely not that strong either, not even in the middle.
In this situation, there is naturally no idea of taking action.
Lu Yao did not express her own opinion, but just asked Qi Zifan: "Sister Zixiao, what do you think?"
Qi Zifan groaned for a moment: "You go first."
"Let's go together!" Zou Hu quickly refused.
"You look down on us?" Su Ye frowned, expressing his dissatisfaction: "If you want to stay, I, Su Ye, can stay too, so that you can see if I am what you call a coward!"
"Don't get me wrong, I'm not targeting you." Qi Zifan said in a deep voice: "The reason I let you go is not because I look down on you, but because it would be dangerous if you stay."
"Even if we didn't make a move, seeing how they were fighting desperately, the things inside are most likely the foundation of the Heavenly Dao."
"If this is the case, no matter who obtains the foundation of the Heavenly Dao, he will definitely try his best to keep it secret. Otherwise, there will be many people who want to hunt him down."
"How can a secret be kept?" He glanced at the three people and said, "Only the dead can keep a secret forever."
"Once the final winner is free..."
The three of them were all outstanding people. They understood everything at once and changed their expressions: "Then why did you stay?!"
"I'll wait and see, just in case there's some chance..."
It was naturally impossible for Qi Zifan to say that he wanted to confirm whether it was the foundation of the way of heaven, and what was the difference between it and the runes he possessed.
Therefore, he could only deceive them: "You guys should leave first. Remember to be careful and cautious, especially when you leave the Silent Valley. There is a high possibility that the Fifth Zhongmou's men are hiding nearby."
"After you get out, run as far as you can. Remember the map I shared with you? Go in the direction of the towering broken tree. If there's a chance, I'll come find you later."
"Sister Zixiao." Lu Yao hesitated: "Why don't you come with us? We can't stay here for long!"
"Yes, Zixiao." Zou Hu said anxiously: "Most of these first-order ones come from those famous big worlds. They have many trump cards and methods. It will be difficult for you to win if you stay..."
“You don’t have to succeed!”
Qi Zifan retorted: "At least, you should bring back some clues, right?"
"What does the foundation of heaven look like?!"
"How do I get it?"
"What's the use?"
"We in the world of immortal cultivation know too little. Compared with these great worlds, we are just frogs in a well, sitting in a well and looking at the sky."
“Only by bringing back enough information can we gradually find ways to change the current situation.”
"You go first."
He was tough and started to drive people away without explanation: "If anyone tries to stop us, I will stop them for you."
"Hide your identity after you get out, and don't make it public."
"This..." Zou Hu was still reluctant.
He knew that it was dangerous to stay, but as a bootlicker, how could he bear to leave when he finally got the chance to do things with a girl
"Walk!"
Su Ye, on the other hand, was more resolute. He didn't think too much about it. Although he also wanted to prove that he was not a coward, what Qi Zifan said made sense.
There is really not much use for them to stay, and now is not the time to show off our bravery. It is better to keep them useful and bring back intelligence.
"Sister Zixiao, you must take care of yourself!"
Lu Yao warned him sternly.
"Don't worry, let's go."
Qi Zifan waved his hand and focused on the battlefield.
The three of them no longer hesitated and headed out of the valley as quietly as possible.
At this time, most of the others were in the melee, and Eggshell was also there being noticed by everyone. Zou Hu, Lu Yao and the other two had never approached him, so no one suspected that they had taken away the Foundation of Heavenly Dao.
Therefore, no one tried to stop it.
Seeing this, the three of them breathed a sigh of relief.
However, before I had gone far, I saw a group of people coming towards me...
There were about a hundred people, organized into groups of two or three, wary and suspicious of each other.
When the two sides met, Lu Yao and the other two suddenly felt tremendous pressure.
However, they did not turn around and run, but passed by each other alternately with the same vigilance.
The large amount of spiritual consciousness sweeping around put a huge pressure on the three people.
At this time, someone suddenly sent a message: "Fellow Daoists, what's the situation inside? Has the Fifth Zhongmou been captured?"
The three of them looked at each other, and Lu Yao immediately responded: "The Fifth Zhongmou is dead, the foundation of the Heavenly Dao has appeared, and the others are fighting for it!"
"We know that we are not strong enough, so we will not participate. If you want the foundation of the Heavenly Dao, you have to speed up."
"What?!"
“Is there really a foundation for the Way of Heaven?”
“And has it already appeared in the world?”
"Walk!"
At this moment, no one could remain calm.
Originally, there were people who really wanted to kill Lu Yao and the other two and take their loot, but when they heard that the Foundation of Heaven had appeared and was being fought over by everyone, naturally they couldn't sit still, right
"These guys..." Zou Hu's hair stood on end: "They just wanted to kill me."
"Let's go." Su Ye's face turned pale: "Let's go to the towering tree."
"Um."
No one wants to talk.
At this moment, it is better to run away first.
······
"Someone's here again."
Qi Zifan still did not join the battlefield, but even retreated further away. He watched from afar. Even if someone attacked and wanted to pull him down, he would just avoid or resist and not take part in such a chaotic fight.
He wasn't the only one who didn't participate, but there weren't many either.
Looking around, there were no more than ten people at most.
Some of these people want to reap the benefits, while others have their own ideas, but they know they don't have the ability, so they don't look for it.
Others are simply there to watch the fun.
As for Qi Zifan...
The reason why he stayed was just to confirm whether it was the foundation of the way of heaven!
"These guys, before they even saw the foundation of Heaven's Way, have already started fighting to the death. Are they so excited?"
"Aren't you afraid that in the end you won't be the foundation of heaven?"
"Or are you not afraid of being killed and wounded in the end, and dying before you even have a chance to take a look?"
Qi Zifan was puzzled and asked Lan Caier through telepathy: "Aren't you afraid of accidents when you are fighting like this?"
"Why fear?" Lan Cai'er responded calmly: "If we don't decide the winner first, once the foundation of the Heavenly Dao appears, there will be real chaos."
"As for those who want to reap the benefits..."
"Later, you will have to not take action even if you don't want to. Otherwise, you will be killed by our combined forces."
“This is also a kind of tacit understanding.”
Qi Zifan: “…”
I see!
He understood.
"To put it simply, it's just fighting for a while, killing the weak ones, and then clearing the surrounding area, and then the main event begins, right?"
“···”
"Then do it."
He didn't watch the fight anymore.
Instead, he chose to take action right away, randomly selecting a first-sequence with decent strength and engaging in battle with him.
Secret techniques are flying and magical powers are emerging.
The battle became more and more intense.
People from the first sequence fell from time to time, and in less than half an hour, more than a hundred people fell.
At the same time, people kept rushing in from outside. I don’t know whether they arrived too late after receiving the news, or they came on impulse.
But these people all have one thing in common---as soon as they arrived, they started looking for Diwu Zhongmou and asked him whether he was dead or not.
Before he could finish his question, he couldn't help but join the battlefield and fight madly...
An hour passed in the chaos of fighting.
It wasn't a river of blood, but there were indeed a lot of first-line casualties.
But the war still shows no sign of stopping...
However, the eggshell underwent some changes at this moment.
The Dao rules remained the same and the divine patterns were brilliant, but they seemed a little disordered, as if something had happened.
“···”
Although they were fighting, everyone was actually paying attention to this 'egg'. Therefore, at this moment, everyone stopped and watched intently.
“It’s coming out!”
No one said anything, and no one used spiritual consciousness to transmit the message, but these words popped up automatically in almost everyone's mind.
Click, click, click...
Cracks appeared on the eggshell. Although no one could hear it, everyone automatically imagined the sound of the eggshell shattering, and it looked as if it would shatter completely in the next second.
It was at this moment that the thousand or so people present held their breath and looked at the eggshell with anticipation, nervousness, apprehension and greed.
Buzz...
Astonishing divine light burst out from the crack of the eggshell.
Among them, there seem to be some amazing principles and profound divine patterns hidden, which are colorful and fascinating.
until···
The eggshell exploded completely.
"The foundation of heaven is mine!"
The person who was closest to the target rushed over frantically. However, the next moment, an overwhelming attack came. The man's face turned pale and he tried all means at the first moment, but in the end, he still couldn't stop it.
In a burst of divine light, the man turned into nothingness and was directly blown up by everyone.
At this moment, no one dared to be the first to speak out.
Whoever moves will be the public enemy, and will die!
At the same time, the divine light gradually dissipated, and the madly flying laws, Taoist rhymes, and divine patterns quickly converged.
Then···
"What?!"
“That’s it!!!”
"A figure?!"
Everyone was stunned.
What did they see
When everything was gone, when their eyes could see and their spiritual sense could scan, they actually saw a figure at the location of the eggshell!
Buzz...
The light completely disappeared, and the figure inside appeared in front of everyone.
It was at this moment that everyone's eyes changed.
"How could there be someone here?"
"It's a woman!"
"The mark on her forehead cannot be wrong. It is one of the nine immortal paths, the foundation of the heavenly path!"
"This woman actually obtained the foundation of the Heavenly Dao before all of us?!"
“Damn it!”
"Today, she will definitely die!"
“···”
Their momentum was gathering. At this moment, they were no longer on guard or wary of each other. A terrifying murderous aura was spreading, and their target was only one person.
She was the woman in yellow skirt who obtained one of the 'Nine Immortals'!
Only Qi Zifan was relatively calm... What the hell!
In fact, when he saw the familiar eggshell, he thought that if this was the foundation of the Heavenly Dao, then the runes on his and his saint's forehead should also be the foundation of the Heavenly Dao.
Because this state is so similar to the time when I passively attained enlightenment.
Therefore, it was not surprising to Qi Zifan that someone among them was there. How could someone attain enlightenment without enlightenment? Without enlightenment, it would be impossible for this eggshell composed of divine patterns, Dao rhyme, and laws to appear.
But he never imagined that the person inside was actually...
"Ji Chutong?!!!"
His mind was confused.
Looking at the woman who was sitting cross-legged with her eyes closed, as if she had not yet woken up, he doubted himself several times.
"Am I hallucinating, or is it because she looks too much like Ji Chutong and I am seeing things? How could it be her?!"
Qi Zifan was really confused.
He almost thought that Ji Chutong was gone, after all, she didn't come to the gathering...
But now, Ji Chutong, who was thought to be doomed, seems to have obtained the foundation of the Heavenly Dao that even the nine heavenly palaces are eager for? !
"not good!"
At this moment, Qi Zifan's heart began to beat violently.
