Night Without End

The New World, mysterious and unknown, now also filled with some terror. The grandmasters led the retreat, like a herd effect, and almost everyone followed in escape.

Some ambitious strong individuals actually wanted to stay and explore, but were forced to retreat as they got swept away by the panic-stricken crowd.

"Elder, what exactly did you see?" Xiang Yiwu was persistent in his questioning, wanting to understand the situation.

Gu Xicheng's expression was exceedingly grave as he said, "Although you've trained a special eye technique, you're still lacking quite a bit of skill. What I saw was an extremely terrifying... field!"

Xiang Yiwu, with his large and sturdy build, legs thick as wooden piles, a broad face like a square basin, and short hair standing like steel needles, now widened his eyes in shock.

"Is it... the 'Living Field'?" He knew well of Elder Ximei's power, having mastered the Tathagata's Dharma Eye and being able to observe qi and discern truths from a great distance.

"The once 'Living Field,' whether it's still alive now is unknown, but its field radiates like the Heavenly Sun, truly shocking the world."

Qin Ming and Xiao Wu exchanged glances, could it not be a phenomenon, but a living creature?

Behind them, the morning glow rose, painting the mountains in multicolored hues, with cliffs and vegetation draped in golden light, appearing especially sacred and peaceful.

Yet ahead, the night was elusive, like an abyss, and they chose to flee against the light, retreating as far as they could.

While still on the road, Elder Ximei began writing a secret letter, preparing to report.

According to him, it wasn't necessarily the Heavenly Sun rising from the abyss, but a vast "field" related to powerful beings, though nearly dead.

"Senior, what kind of beings exist at that level?" Wu Yaizu asked, his heart pounding.

Qin Ming felt a sense of absurdity bubbling within; the lingering 'biological field,' with its afterglow spilling from behind the mountain, illuminating all like a morning glow, was indeed chilling upon reflection.

Unfortunately, they couldn't witness the scene behind the mountains with their own eyes.

Without a doubt, it must be absolutely spectacular!

"Surpassing all Ancestor Masters!" Gu Xicheng responded.

Ultimately, they dashed into the Jinguang Cave, escaping the mountains drenched in spiritual aura, leaving the New World where vegetation grew recklessly under the "morning glow" and stepped back into a world clothed in silver.

Before their eyes, the sky was cold, the earth frozen, and the chill wind whipped snowflakes in their faces.

Everyone felt a sense of unreality; separated by only a cave, it felt as though they had crossed through a dream spanning heaven and earth.

That night, Gu Xicheng released several lightning birds, sending them to the Tathagata Sect with messages.

"Make sure to steer clear of the Past Tathagata!" he instructed.

"Elder, is that 'morning glow' important?" Xiang Yiwu asked.

"Of course, it concerns many things."

In the midst of the icy, snowy land, the towns of the Minotaur Clan were brightly lit and bustling. People returning from the New World entered taverns and inns, discussing the events fervently.

An old grandmaster of the Esoteric Buddhism said, "Old Gu, you're quite the leading sheep, turning tail and running at a critical moment. In a battle between two armies, this would certainly cause a great defeat."

Gu Xicheng replied, "Those are two different things, alright? Maybe this time I saved all of your lives."

In the middle of the night, a thunderclap startled Niu Ben City!

Grandmasters from the Ye State were awakened by a message

"Some of the old fellows didn't return; they endured the energies of Heavenly Light, Divine Wisdom, and others erupting from the crowd, walked to the edge of the morning glow, and saw the truth."

"Several Taoist friends traced it back there, but in the end, only that old guy from the Immortal Road escaped back; the rest were all left there!"

The grandmasters in Niu Ben City received the information while still on the road and immediately gathered for a secret meeting.

Amidst the swirling snow, the grandmaster of the Immortal Road, still in shock, drank strong liquor to calm his nerves, surrounded by a group of old fellows in the inn.

"The scene was truly sacred, but also terrifying. It captures your gaze at first sight. The tangible field was like the most magnificent dream. Several grandmasters prostrated and proceeded forward like a pilgrimage..."

The old grandmaster of the Immortal Road, as if in a trance, was clearly scared out of his wits, barely escaping from that bizarre place.

Elder Ximei, Gu Xicheng said, "Well? Every single one of you here should bow to me. I saved all of you."

"Don't joke around. Have him explain everything in detail; we need to report this matter immediately," a Great Grandmaster spoke.

There were three great grandmasters in total, responsible for guarding the Jinguang Cave.

In the latter half of the night, the grandmasters dispersed, instructed to keep their mouths shut.

One of the three great grandmasters decided to make a personal trip; it was somewhat risky because the reinforced Jinguang Cave presently barely allowed grandmasters to pass through.

"This matter is of great importance, I must witness it with my own eyes."

The Jinguang Cave roared and trembled slightly, the great grandmaster passed through with no risks.

The other two great grandmasters remained on high alert, ready to destroy the Jinguang Cave at any sign of trouble.

The next day, many people from the Ye State heard rumors, causing an uproar.

After all, this place was home to Immortal Seeds and Divine Seeds, connections ran deep, with some grandmasters being their elders.

"Truly unbelievable, the first time opening the gates to the New World, we encountered such a major event, estimably, strong beings from all paths will go crazy!"

"Brother, please tell in detail, what exactly happened?"

"The New World likely harbors deceased gods and demons, involving extremely profound inheritances, with the lingering field akin to the Heavenly Sun."

The New World holds great creations, now impossible to conceal, as too many grandmasters know.

It's very eerie there; after several grandmasters knelt, they actually advanced by kowtowing, which made people somewhat uneasy.
