"The Blood Weeping Divine Hall has already appeared?" Li Xuan asked somewhat surprised after listening to everyone's words.
The Holy Lord nodded slightly and then said, "It has been here for a day, but the true opening day will be three days after its appearance. The Divine Son coming out of seclusion is perfect timing, tomorrow is the opening day."
Li Xuan nodded with a smile upon hearing this, "So, I'm considered lucky. If I had been a day later, I would have missed it."
Everyone else could only offer wry smiles. Before Li Xuan emerged from seclusion, they had all been on tenterhooks. Although they had worried about Li Xuan's strength at the time, at least that way Li Xuan would have had a chance to compete for the Dao Sword.
Otherwise, as Li Xuan had said, there would have been less than two years left.
"Where did the Blood Weeping Divine Hall appear?" Li Xuan asked.
The Holy Lord replied, "In Canglong Mountain."
"Canglong Mountain... If I remember correctly, it takes about three hours to get there," Li Xuan frowned slightly upon hearing this.
The Holy Lord nodded, "That's right. The elder generation's Holy Sons from the Five-Colored Holy Land, the Phoenix Weeping Holy Land, and the Illusion Heart Holy Land have already departed. Due to the Divine Son, our Chaos Holy Land's personnel have not yet left."
Li Xuan immediately said, "I have delayed everyone. But without further ado, let's depart now."
"Good," the Holy Lord nodded and with a wave of his hand, six figures instantly appeared before them.
"Greetings, Holy Lord, Esteemed Grand Elders, and Ancestors." The six figures bowed to everyone upon their appearance.
The Holy Lord nodded slightly and said, "The Divine Son has emerged from seclusion. You will depart next. This team will be led by Ancestor Qi Yun."
"Yes!" The six nodded and their gazes fell upon Li Xuan and Ancestor Qi Yun. Of course, most of their attention was on Li Xuan, as even they, ordinary elders, had heard of Li Xuan.
"Let's go," Ancestor Qi Yun waved his hand, and an instant later, a massive mushroom cloud appeared.
Li Xuan's eyes showed a hint of surprise at the sight of the mushroom cloud, clearly it was Ancestor Qi Yun's mode of transport.
Soon, Li Xuan and the six figures moved and landed on the mushroom cloud.
Seeing that everyone had boarded, Ancestor Qi Yun waved his hand and instantly propelled them rapidly towards Canglong Mountain.
"Will the Divine Son and the others return safely?" Emperor Wen asked, looking in the direction Ancestor Qi Yun's group had departed, with a worried tone.
"We all know the cruelty of the Blood Weeping Divine Hall. Whether the Divine Son and the others can return safely will likely depend on themselves," the Holy Lord sighed softly.
On the mushroom cloud, Li Xuan looked at Ancestor Qi Yun and asked with some curiosity, "Ancestor, why are you leading this expedition?"
Ancestor Qi Yun smiled faintly and replied, "Divine Son, you have been in seclusion recently, so you are unaware of some matters. The alien races have been increasingly restless since your seclusion. Several major battles have broken out, but they were ultimately suppressed."
Ancestor Qi Yun paused and continued, "The reason I am leading this expedition is twofold. Firstly, among my peers, my strength is still considerable. Secondly, it is to showcase the strength of our Chaos Holy Land to outsiders."
Li Xuan was shocked. He hadn't expected the alien races to launch an attack so proactively within less than a year. It was no wonder Ancestor Qi Yun was being deployed, as he had always remained hidden before.
Li Xuan understood that the other three Holy Lands would undoubtedly know that Ancestor Qi Yun had once been injured and lost all his cultivation. Ancestor Qi Yun's appearance now was undoubtedly a display of the Chaos Holy Land's reserves to the world.
"When entering the Blood Weeping Divine Hall this time, you must be extremely careful. Besides our Chaos Holy Land, the other three Holy Lands have each assigned eight Holy Son-level elders to enter. You must be vigilant not only of the dangers within but also of them."
Ancestor Qi Yun looked at Li Xuan and the other six with a serious expression.
"In the past, in the Blood Weeping Divine Hall, I witnessed too much scheming and betrayal. Even my old friends attacked me at the last moment. Therefore, never trust anyone easily."
Just as Li Xuan was about to speak, Ancestor Qi Yun, as if guessing Li Xuan's question, transmitted his voice into Li Xuan's ear.
Li Xuan's expression immediately turned solemn, and he instantly understood why Ancestor Qi Yun had sent him a telepathic message. The implication was that even these six Holy Son-level elders from the Chaos Holy Land should be treated with some caution.
Time passed in the blink of an eye. Faintly, Li Xuan could see colorful clouds swirling in the distant sky. A massive stone gate, enveloped by those clouds, appeared particularly mysterious.
Whoosh!
Above the Canglong Mountain range, Ancestor Qi Yun retracted the mushroom cloud and landed.
"Ancestor Qi Yun?" an old man called out in surprise.
Ancestor Qi Yun looked up and then smiled, "I didn't expect Ancestor Hao Tian of the Phoenix Weeping Holy Land to be leading the team this time."
Ancestor Hao Tian nodded, his expression filled with a touch of emotion, "If memory serves, we haven't seen each other in centuries. Back then, your cultivation had regressed to the point of becoming a mortal. Now, judging by your aura, you seem even stronger than before?"
Ancestor Qi Yun smiled and nodded, "Indeed, it has been several hundred years. I didn't expect to see you today. As for my injuries, thanks to the Holy Lord and the others, a cure was found for me."
Li Xuan didn't pay much attention to this, and he also knew that Ancestor Qi Yun was saying this to protect himself.
After a brief chat, Ancestor Hao Tian's gaze fell upon Li Xuan and the other seven, "Are these the chosen candidates to enter the Blood Weeping Divine Hall?"
Ancestor Qi Yun nodded, "Not as impressive as your Phoenix Weeping Holy Land, though. These eight look exceptionally powerful."
Ancestor Hao Tian chuckled, "Ancestor Qi Yun, you jest. Besides inherent strength, luck plays a significant role. Back then, the two of us were at the bottom of the six, but aside from you and me, the others all perished inside."
Ancestor Qi Yun let out a wry smile, but Ancestor Hao Tian's words were not without reason. Among the six of them back then, he and Ancestor Hao Tian were indeed the weakest.
Time slipped away silently, and another night passed.
The next day, the sky gradually brightened.
Everyone opened their eyes, feeling refreshed after a night of rest.
Hum!
At the next moment, a humming sound echoed. Everyone looked up to see a crack had appeared in the stone gate in the sky.
Clearly, the Blood Weeping Divine Hall was about to open!
Upon seeing this, anticipation appeared on everyone's faces. Many powerful figures from various forces had already risen into the air, preparing to enter.
Swish, swish, swish!
Just then, several piercing sounds suddenly rang out. Everyone looked to see seventeen figures appearing before them.
"Alien races!"
As a low voice sounded, the crowd present immediately activated their spiritual energy, facing a formidable enemy.
"Now that the Blood Weeping Divine Hall is about to open, are you planning to fight us?"
A man glanced at everyone with a devilish smile, his face filled with disdain.
Everyone fell silent at his words. Indeed, this was not a favorable time. After all, the outcome of a battle was uncertain. To perish without even entering the Blood Weeping Divine Hall would be a great regret.
As both sides stood in silence, a sudden cry of surprise rang out.
"The Blood Weeping Divine Hall has opened!"
