The First Venerable of All Paths

The cave dwelling has been opened.

The spiritual energy around the entire Valley of Children was reversed, causing the world to turn upside down.

That enormous bronze gate stood across the mountains and forests, like a ferocious maw, ready to devour anyone at any moment.

"The commotion was too loud."

Gazing at the strange phenomenon soaring into the sky in the distance, Xiao Jinyu's pretty face turned solemn, her tone filled with worry.

"yes."

Fang Xuan let out a breath and said, "This will inevitably attract even more people."

He had thought that when the cave was opened, even if there was some noise, it wouldn't be too big.

But now it seems that it is even more exaggerated than the Mysterious Realm.

Fang Xuan now hopes that this ancient cave will be off-limits to martial artists above the Divine Intent Realm.

Only in this way can Fang Xuan be safer after entering.

"Moreover, it seems that it will take some time before the cave entrance is fully opened."

Xiao Jinyu said, "There will be many variables during this period."

"But we can only wait."

Fang Xuan said helplessly, "Now, whoever gets close will die."

The sheer pressure alone was enough to instantly obliterate even those at the Divine Realm who approached.

Even though Fang Xuan was confident in his many trump cards, he did not dare to approach rashly.

This could very well be the cave dwelling of a Transcendent Realm expert.

When Fang Xuan and the other mansion were fully opened, Xu Daikui was also stunned.

He never expected that there would be a cave hidden in the Valley of Children.

Now that the cave is open, if he could enter it and easily obtain some fortuitous opportunities, wouldn't that be...?

But upon seeing the young couple not far away, Xu Daikui quickly suppressed his greed, replacing it with trepidation and tension.

He dared not run away.

Not to mention that young swordsman, even Old Ghost Liu was killed by him in one move.

The masked woman alone was far more skilled than he was.

If he dares to run, he will be dead instantly.

Fang Xuan didn't have time to pay him any attention.

Because he sensed that several auras were rapidly approaching.

One of them had already reached the realm of divine intent.

"Whoosh!"

The next moment, the sound of wind breaking rang out.

Then they saw a man in a blue robe, accompanied by a boy and a girl, flying through the air and finally landing on a mountaintop.

Gazing at the faintly visible bronze gate, the man in the blue robe wore a look of delight.

"Good luck."

The man in the blue robe smiled calmly and said, "I never expected that just bringing you out for a casual training trip would lead to such an opportunity."

The two teenagers beside him were also very excited.

"Master, is this a martial artist's cave or a secret realm?"

The boy's eyes burned with fervor, eager to rush into the Valley of Children and enter behind that giant bronze gate.

"The array patterns engraved on this door are clearly the work of a martial artist."

The man in the blue robe smiled and said, "This is a cave dwelling, and not just any cave dwelling left behind by a martial artist."

"In that case, if we could obtain its inheritance..."

The boy's heart fluttered.

"Don't rush."

The man in the blue robe said, "This cave should have just been opened; it's not fully open yet, so you can't enter."

"Master, what should we do with those small fry?"

The boy suddenly looked down at Fang Xuan and Xiao Jinyu, his eyes flashing with a cold light.

"Ignore it."

The man in the blue robe said nonchalantly, "Since they've met, it must be fate that they have this opportunity. Let them each rely on their own abilities."

"Then let them go for now."

The boy pouted, seemingly somewhat disappointed.

"People from Sunset Valley?"

Down in the forest, Xiao Jinyu frowned and asked, "Why did they arrive so quickly?"

"Are they from Sunset Valley?"

This was the first time he had ever met anyone from Sunset Valley.

"Maybe they just happened to be passing by."

Fang Xuan didn't seem to think anything of it. His gaze swept over the young man next to the man in the blue robe, his eyes flickering.

He had just sensed a faint killing intent emanating from the boy.

"Don't stare at them."

Xiao Jinyu reminded them, "The people of Luoxia Valley have always been arrogant, just like the people of the Beast Taming Hall. They are only obedient in front of the disciples of those major sects. At other times, they are very domineering."

"That doesn't sound like something you would say."

Fang Xuan glanced at Xiao Jinyu and found it somewhat amusing.

"I just don't want to cause any unnecessary trouble."

Xiao Jinyu pouted.

Fang Xuan naturally knew what she was worried about.

As the strange phenomena in the Valley of Children became more and more astonishing, the bronze giant gate that had been faintly visible gradually became clearer.

More martial artists arrived from all directions.

Upon seeing this scene, they were all excited and thrilled.

Among them are many martial artists who have reached the Divine Realm.

An opportunity has arisen, and the world is teeming with powerful figures.

These people occupied the best spots, their eyes fixed on the giant door, their mouths dry.

"If one could obtain even one or two of these opportunities, one could achieve mastery of martial arts."

Most of the people who came were independent cultivators.

The cave dwelling before them fueled their greed to its peak, even surpassing their reason.

For a long time, these ancient cave dwellings and various secret realms have been controlled by major forces and sects.

They couldn't possibly let such a good opportunity slip by.

Several of them exchanged glances and then nodded vigorously.

"Let's do it!"

Someone roared, and countless figures burst forth, rushing toward the bronze giant door that had already opened a crack.

"Gentlemen, this opportunity is first come, first served. If you arrive late, you might not even get a bowl of soup."

As the saying goes, wealth can move people's hearts.

Moreover, it was an unclaimed cave dwelling.

Martial arts cultivation is inherently a matter of defying the heavens.

If not now, when?

In an instant, seven or eight figures rushed into the Valley of Children, speeding up their journey toward the giant bronze gate.

Most of these martial artists were at the Qi Gathering Realm.

There are also two martial artists at the Qi Condensation Realm.

Upon seeing this, the young man from Sunset Valley wore a mocking expression: "He's really courting death."

"Pfft pfft pfft!"

Before these warriors could even get close to the bronze gate, an indescribable power swept out from it.

These seven or eight martial artists instantly turned into a bloody mist, leaving no trace of their bodies.

The blood mist drifting in the air was directly sucked into the giant bronze gate.

"this......"

Many people were stunned by this scene.

This colossal bronze gate is actually absorbing the essence and blood of martial artists?

This is unprecedented.

Fortunately, the crowd, who had been blinded by greed, calmed down as a result.

Many of those who had been itching to attack retreated several steps, fearing that the giant bronze gate might unleash its power again and annihilate them.

Even the best opportunities are rare, but you also need to be alive to enjoy them.

Xu Daikui was filled with lingering fear.

He almost rushed over there just now.

Fortunately, he saw that Fang Xuan and Xiao Jinyu remained unmoved, so he did not move either.

"Crunch, crunch!"

At this moment, a luxurious carriage, traveling through the rugged mountains and forests, approached Haier Valley from afar.

Behind him followed eight burly men riding dragon horses, each of whom was a martial artist at the Condensation Realm.

Fang Xuan's gaze, however, fell upon the old man driving the carriage, his eyes flashing with a sharp light.

Yu Cheng!

A manager of the Sihai Chamber of Commerce!

"The people from the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce have arrived!"

The appearance of this carriage caused many people present to change their expressions.

The Sihai Chamber of Commerce is an extremely large chamber of commerce, with business influence spreading throughout various prefectures and its foundation unfathomable.

Now that the cave is about to open, they also want a share of the profits.

Yu Cheng pulled the reins, and the carriage stopped.

The eight burly men behind him also tightened the reins and stopped, the horse's hooves leaping high into the air before landing heavily on the ground.

Their movements were perfectly synchronized, kicking up clouds of dust.

The appearance of the Sihai Chamber of Commerce was extremely arrogant.

But no one dared to say anything.

The Sihai Chamber of Commerce has expanded its business to such an extent that it has entangled its interests with various forces.

Offending the Sihai Chamber of Commerce is like stirring up a hornet's nest.

Yu Cheng naturally saw Fang Xuan as well, and a cold glint flashed in his eyes.

He said a few words into the carriage, then jumped off and walked arrogantly toward Fang Xuan.

Two burly men followed on horseback.

"My lord, you've finally arrived!"

At this moment, Xu Daikui hurriedly walked towards Yu Cheng, his face showing a fawning expression.

"waste!"

Yu Cheng glanced sideways at Xu Daikui and scolded, "You can't even handle such a small matter, what use are you!"

With a wave of Yu Cheng's hand, a burly man brought down a riding whip, striking Xu Daikui hard.

"My lord, spare me! My lord, spare me!"

The whip left a deep, bone-revealing wound on Xu Daikui's face, causing him to let out a piercing scream of pain and repeatedly beg for mercy.

But as long as Yu Cheng didn't speak, the big man wouldn't stop.

In no time, Xu Daikui's body was covered in cuts and bruises, and his voice became weak.

Originally, the crowd, who had been discussing the matter, all had an expression of watching a show.

Since the cave dwelling hadn't been opened yet, they decided to just watch the excitement first.

As soon as Yu Cheng raised his hand, the big man stopped.

Xu Daikui did not die, but he was severely injured.

Yu Cheng looked at Fang Xuan with an arrogant expression in his eyes.

"Boy, my young master wants to speak with you."

Yu Cheng said coldly, "Remember, lower your stance, otherwise..."

"roll!"

Before Yu Cheng could finish speaking, Fang Xuan coldly interrupted, leaving Yu Cheng stunned.

Even the onlookers were taken aback.

This kid's pretty arrogant.

How dare you speak to someone from the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce like that? Are you out of your mind?

When Yu Cheng realized what was happening, his old face turned red with anger.

Fang Xuan is too arrogant!

"Fang Xuan, how dare you!"

Yu Cheng pointed at Fang Xuan and scolded, "Teach him a lesson, let him know the consequences of daring to offend my Sihai Chamber of Commerce."

The burly man who had been whipping Xu Da Kui rode forward and brought his long whip down on Xu's head.

The long whip was infused with Yuan energy, taut as a stick, and a strong wind howled.

"Smack!"

Before the whip could even touch Fang Xuan, it was firmly grasped by a hand.

"The Four Seas Chamber of Commerce? That's quite impressive!"

After saying that, Fang Xuan grabbed the long whip and pulled it forward with force.

The burly man on horseback had initially looked disdainful.

However, the next moment, he felt a terrifying force sweeping over him from the long whip.

He was caught off guard, stumbled, and fell directly off his horse.

However, this burly man was, after all, a cultivator at the Condensation Realm, and a carefully selected guard.

His strength, reaction time, and combat experience far surpass those of ordinary martial artists.

He was in mid-air, one hand on the horse's back, while simultaneously releasing the whip and striking Fang Xuan's shoulder without hesitation.

This palm strike will surely dislocate one of Fang Xuan's arms.

Fang Xuan's eyes flashed with a cold light, and with a twist of his body, he kicked out with a fierce whip kick.

"Bang!"

With a muffled thud, the burly man screamed in agony as his body was sent flying as if struck by lightning. He rolled several times on the ground before falling silent.

In an instant, the entire room fell silent.
