Inside the spatial world, groups of three to five were conducting a grid search.
Three days have gone by, and pretty much every corner of the spatial world has been combed through, but they still can’t even find Luo Tian’s shadow.
Wu Sha wasn’t in a hurry. He sat at the original position cross-legged to cultivate.
As for the disciples of the four great families, they were rather restless. They had come here to take an assessment, yet now they had to waste time searching for a Luo Tian whom they couldn’t find. They also couldn’t cultivate when there was an abundance of spiritual energy here, so this was undoubtedly a huge loss for them.
“I’m telling you guys, we’ve been searching for three days already, and the results will still be the same if we continue. That kid Luo Tian has already escaped this spatial world with some secret method. We are basically wasting our time. Why don’t we have a duel? The winner stays, and the loser gets out. Wouldn’t that be better? The winners can then continue on with the second assessment.”
The Deng family was the leader of Towering Cloud City’s five great families.
The person who just spoke was Deng Haitong, the leader of the four disciples from the Deng family.
His cultivation realm was also one of the highest among all of them.
Deng Haitong’s words immediately elicited responses from the other disciples.
“What Brother Deng said is correct. We are wasting our time here. It would be better if we fought and the losers left early. I don’t want to stay in this damn place for another minute.”
“We don’t even know that guy with the surname Wu, so why should we listen to him? He told us to find Luo Tian, so we did it without complaint? Do we look like we’re lackeys? We’ve been searching for Luo Tian for three days already. He’s either dead somewhere, or he has gone out. We’ve done what our patriarchs have asked us to do. Now, it’s time for us to fight to determine the winners. You know there’s only ten places, right?”
“That’s right!”
“Let’s fight!”
Searching every day for three consecutive days, and the results were the same – they couldn’t find Luo Tian.
But Wu Sha didn’t tell them to stop. He would keep telling them to head back out and search.
This made them all very unhappy.
In front of Wu Sha, they didn’t dare to complain out loud. But in private, they had shared a lot of complaints with each other. After all, they came to take an assessment. If they pass the first round, they will get to go on to the second round. In this examination site, they couldn’t wait to select ten people quickly.
“I agree with having duels, but should we let Wu Sha know first? His cultivation is much higher than ours. If we make him angry, I’m afraid every one of us here…” One of the disciples said cautiously.
The aura coming from Wu Sha was terrifying and made them all fearful.
If it weren’t for that, none of them here would have listened to his commands.
Everyone thought deeply about this, not saying anything for a while.
At this moment, a large rock was fracturing.
“Crack~, crack~, crack~…”
There were loud bangs coming from deep underground as if a wild beast was pounding the ground. The ground trembled, looking like a small earthquake.
All the disciples had looks of surprise on their faces.
“What’s going on? This spatial world has earthquakes?”
“Everyone, look! That large rock is fracturing by itself!”
“What the hell is going on?”
“Is a demonic beast trying to come out from the ground?”
“Could it be a spiritual treasure created by heaven and earth? I heard that sorcerers use scrolls to create special spaces that not only contain rich yuan energy but also have the potential to grow spiritual treasures from heaven and earth. Such spiritual treasures are all worth sky-high prices!”
“Right! I think I’ve heard of this before, too!”
“I’ve heard that many sorcerers deliberately refine special dimensions to cultivate spiritual treasures.”
“Could this spatial world really give birth to a spiritual treasure?”
A glimmer of light flashed in everyone’s eyes. In an instant, they all moved closer to the large fracturing rock. Their eyes were opened wide as they focused their gaze toward that rock.
“Crack~, crack~, crack~…”
Several pieces of debris fell from the rock.
The shaking from the depths of the earth was getting stronger and stronger, and the frequency of the shaking was also getting faster. At first, they thought it was a wild beast crashing into the ground. But now, it felt like thunder and lightning were coming from deep underground, where it could be felt from all over the spatial world.
On a mountainside, Wu Sha frowned before opening his eyes.
After feeling the slight tremor from the ground, his mouth curved into a cold smile before he said, “I didn’t expect that you were hiding underground.”
He then stood up and shouted, “Bring those two Bai family disciples over. Luo Tian is about to appear, so I’m going to let him see his brother die in front of him. Let’s see where else he can run to after that!”
As his voice faded, Wu Sha’s figure shot off in a beam of light. He instantly landed on a treetop before tapping it like a dragonfly skimming water. His figure jumped off and disappeared in just a few breaths of time.
Those disciples didn’t delay, quickly pushing Bai Xiong and Lin Dong along after Wu Sha.
Bai Xiong had an anxious look in his eyes as he said, “Why hasn’t the boss left this world yet? What is he still doing here? That demon’s cultivation is too strong, and the aura coming from him is something even a Martial Void expert cannot withstand. Boss is no match for him at all!”
Lin Dong was also anxious, saying, “It’s all our fault. If we were stronger, we wouldn’t have been captured by Wu Sha, and the boss wouldn’t have had to risk his life for us. If we can get out alive, I will do my best to cultivate so that this will never happen again.”
They were both very worried because they thought Luo Tian should have left this world and not come back to save them.
Wu Sha’s cultivation was simply too high.
During these three days, they were constantly only about ten meters away from Wu Sha. Therefore, they could clearly feel the aura coming from him while he was cultivating. They felt that since Martial Void experts couldn’t handle him, how could Luo Tian handle it when he was only in the Condensation Element realm?
This guy was much stronger than Hai Yulong, so how could Luo Tian fight him?
This was the main reason they were so worried.
But apart from being worried, they also felt a sense of gratitude.
Inside the spatial world, many disciples were rushing toward that large fracturing rock.
They all thought some spiritual treasure was about to be born.
Each one of them was swallowing their saliva, waiting in anticipation. It was similar to how a bunch of guys were watching a girl doing a strip tease, waiting for an opportune moment to pounce on her.
“Soon!”
“It’s coming!”
“It’s about to come out!”
“Hahaha, I’m getting excited just thinking about it! The heavens are treating us quite well, letting us see the birth of a spiritual treasure. This is something I haven’t seen my entire life, so my horizon will definitely widen.”
Underneath the ground, Luo Tian’s forehead was covered in sweat. He never expected the cave they were staying in to be this deep. It was fortunate that he had his Heaven Sword, or else they both might be trapped here for a while. Upon seeing the light shining through the gap, he wiped the sweat from his forehead and said to Bai Lingling behind him, “Step back a little. I’m going to use one powerful move to smash an opening.”
