A wasted cultivation cultivator, whose senior sister comes to his door asking for pills at the start

Above the Fengshen Mountains.

Three cultivators, dressed in different styles and exuding a terrifying aura, gathered together and exchanged glances.

Just then, one of the red-robed cultivators looked down at the numerous cultivators below and said in a cold voice.

"There are more and more people coming here now, aren't you going to do something about it?"

The other person beside him was dressed in a blue robe and had the air of a scholar.

However, his true nature was revealed the moment he opened his mouth.

"In my opinion, these ants should be driven away to prevent anyone from trying to take advantage of the situation."

If the three of them joined forces, or even if any one of them were taken out individually, they would be enough to suppress the scene.

Just then, the remaining white-robed cultivator shook his head and said...

"I still stand by what I said before; they will have their uses if we keep them."

He turned his head, glanced at the cyan power nearby, and squinted his eyes.

"Such a large-scale and prolonged celestial phenomenon may not necessarily indicate the appearance of a treasure."

"It seems more like an ancient mansion has reappeared in the world, and we'll need some cannon fodder then."

Generally speaking, if it's a breakthrough or the appearance of a treasure, such extraordinary phenomena won't last long.

Only those ancient mansions that were sealed away are gradually having their seals broken in the present world.

Therefore, it usually takes longer.

The white-robed monk's explanation caused the other two to fall into deep thought.

After a while, the red-robed cultivator from before squinted his eyes and said.

"That makes sense. If it really is an ancient cave, we should definitely send someone to explore it."

For them, this was undoubtedly a profitable deal.

If there is no danger and only benefits, with their strength, they can easily seize the treasure afterward.

And if there's danger, it can help detect it...

Although with their Emperor-level cultivation, they are considered to be at the pinnacle in this era.

However, in that ancient golden age, there were many more Emperor-level cultivators, and their methods were much more bizarre and powerful.

Therefore, after some discussion, the three reached a consensus to continue allowing outsiders to come...

"Senior, can you hear what they're saying?"

Looking at the scene above, Ye Yun asked with some curiosity.

Upon hearing this, Nangong Jiutian raised an eyebrow.

"What else can we say? They're talking about using us as cannon fodder."

Ye Yun was startled upon hearing this.

"Huh? Senior, you can actually hear me?"

He had only asked casually, but he didn't expect it to actually work.

To spy on the conversations of Emperor-level experts without being detected.

Just thinking about it made Ye Yun feel incredible.

Nangong Jiutian explained this calmly.

"What's so difficult about that? It's just a little eavesdropping technique."

She then recounted to Ye Yun what she had overheard.

"In short, those three guys were planning to use these ignorant ants as cannon fodder."

Ye Yun said thoughtfully.

"In that case, it seems to be advantageous for us to fish in troubled waters."

After all, only by being ignored can one obtain what one wants and accomplish what one wants to do quietly.

Nangong Jiutian gave a thumbs-up in response.

"That's right, you are quite clever."

"If this strange phenomenon is indeed the appearance of a cave, then we can simply follow the crowd inside."

In her view, the cave dwelling must be quite large to have such a spectacular phenomenon.

"Okay, it's settled then."

Ye Yun grinned, delighted that he was able to curry favor with someone powerful.

Immediately, his attention fell on the cracks in the ground, and he tried to explore them with his divine sense.

However, with Ye Yun's perception, it was like entering a bottomless abyss.

Even when he reached the limit of his divine sense, the crack continued to spread downwards.

This led Ye Yun to a bold guess.

"Good heavens, could this crack lead directly to the cave you mentioned last time?"

"You've reminded me."

Nangong Jiutian looked as if he had just remembered.

Immediately, she activated her divine sense and probed downwards along the crack.

Time passed slowly, and Nangong Jiutian's divine sense continued to travel downwards.

Unlike Ye Yun, who quickly reached her limit, she used her powerful divine sense to detect the origin of the crack.

"Interesting, it's getting more and more interesting."

The expression on her face underwent a subtle change.

Nangong Jiutian's reaction made Ye Yun even more curious, so he hurriedly asked.

"What did you discover, senior?"

"Beneath this crack lies a blue power, just like, or even more vast than, that in the heavens."

Nangong Jiutian squinted slightly and gave him a brief explanation.

"They seem to have solidified into a barrier, protecting the cave within."

"However, as time goes by, the restrictions are becoming less secure, and the cave will soon reappear."

"However, what concerns me is that the form of that restriction is also unprecedented, and it must also be unique to the Upper Realm."

This explanation reignited Ye Yun's curiosity.

"What you're saying makes me want to go check it out right now."

However, Nangong Jiutian offered a reminder.

"It's best not to think about it. We don't know if that cyan power is good or bad, nor do we know the effect of that restriction."

"To be on the safe side, let's wait until it disperses and the restriction is lifted before going in to explore further."

Although in normal times, she is like a reckless fun-loving person.

However, when it comes to areas he doesn't know, Nangong Jiutian becomes much more meticulous and cautious.

Ye Yun, being honest, replied with a smile.

"Understood, I will follow your instructions, senior."

After all, in such a big event, if you don't behave yourself, you might just kick the bucket.

Afterwards, Ye Yun and Nangong Jiutian observed the cracks in the ground again.

Just then, I heard someone exclaim in surprise.

"Look over there, another senior is here!"

Upon hearing this, Ye Yun and Nangong Jiutian both looked in that direction.

Just as their exclamations suggested, the arrival of this was indeed a heavyweight.

A streak of azure light flashed across the sky, leaving only a thin line in its wake.

A moment later, a stunningly beautiful cultivator in a blue dress appeared in the air as if she had teleported.

She exuded an unparalleled aura of majesty, her domineering gaze surveying everything below.

Several people were following him.

Zhi Xing, a close confidante, also came along this time.

"It's actually the Lord of Cloud City?"

Many of those present recognized her at a glance and showed expressions of awe.

"I never expected that even she would be attracted."

"Tsk tsk tsk, this is going to be fierce competition."

"I wonder which of those seniors will come out on top."

"..."

The crowd was abuzz with discussion and amazement.

Ye Yun, who was hiding in the shadows, was also taken aback and sighed.

"This is really attractive; even the Lord of Cloud City has come."

Nangong Jiutian, standing to the side, said meaningfully.

"Hey kid, how does it feel to see your lover here?"

Ye Yun rolled her eyes at her.

"What lover? My relationship with her is completely innocent, okay?"

Upon hearing this, Nangong Jiutian scoffed.

"Really? Two pure and innocent dual cultivation sessions?"

Ye Yun coughed lightly and said calmly.

There's a reason for all of that.

"Tsk tsk tsk, you've got some nerve, kid."

Nangong Jiutian raised an eyebrow and made a comment.

While the two were talking, the Cloud Empress in the sky was scanning the crowd below.

Her gaze swept over everyone present at an incredibly fast pace.

This is to check whether the visitor is someone I know.

When he glanced at Ye Yun and Nangong Jiutian, he did so in a single glance.

Without a doubt, she did not discover the two men's disguise.

"Oh, Fellow Daoist Yunxiao has arrived?"

At this moment, three other Emperor-level cultivators came up and greeted him.

As fellow Emperor-level powerhouses from the Western Continent, they were naturally very familiar with each other.

The red-robed cultivator from earlier teased her.

"Is the sun rising in the west? Aren't you usually the least interested in these kinds of things?"

The blue-robed cultivator standing nearby echoed this sentiment.

"Yes, Fellow Daoist Yunxiao, this is not like you at all."

Among the several Emperor-level powerhouses in the Western Continent, Empress Yunxiao was the one who disliked getting involved in such treasure-hunting matters.

So they were somewhat surprised by their visit this time.

Upon hearing this, Empress Yunxiao glanced at them and replied indifferently.

"Does my behavior require no explanation to you?"

After saying that, her gaze fell on the crack below.

Just like Nangong Jiutian had done earlier, he used his divine sense to explore it deeply.

After a while, she frowned, seemingly having gained nothing.

"It seems the root of the problem lies deeper..."

Just then, the white-robed cultivator beside him chuckled.

"Don't waste your time. We've already tried, and we couldn't find anything at all."

"This crack seems to be bottomless."

Upon hearing this, Empress Yunxiao looked up at him and asked.

"Are the three of you planning to team up here?"

"That's good, Fellow Daoist Yunxiao, why don't you join us too?"

The red-robed cultivator squinted slightly and smiled at him.

"Even if we do discover some treasure, it will be an internal struggle among us."

"This way, we can avoid the possibility of being taken advantage of."

This proposal undoubtedly prevents anyone else from obtaining the valuable treasure.

After hearing these words, Empress Yunxiao's eyebrows twitched slightly, and she pondered for a moment.

Then she nodded.

"Okay, let's join forces for now."

Upon hearing this, the three exchanged a glance and smiled.

Then, one of them reminded him.

"Good, then Fellow Daoist Yunxiao, go find a place to stay as well."

"This strange phenomenon, who knows how long it will last."

Unable to sense the existence of the restrictions below, they naturally had no idea when they would be activated; all they could do was wait.

Empress Yunxiao also thought it made sense, and glanced at the surrounding mountain peaks.

She quickly chose a mountain peak with an excellent view.

There was already a large city there as a base.

However, after a friendly exchange when Empress Yunxiao came to visit, she readily ceded the property.

After settling down, she looked at the scene before her and couldn't help but ponder for a moment.

"I wonder if that kid will even come..."
