Chapter 719: Gathering

Outskirts of the Black Abyss.

The immense disturbance emanating from the depths of the Black Abyss naturally spread to its outskirts. Countless people watched, dumbfounded, as vibrant vegetation continuously emerged from the desolate land. Some saplings grew at an astonishing speed, transforming into towering trees.

Soon, a vast forest appeared in this desolate world.

Rivers, like white ribbons, divided the vast land.

It was a vibrant scene.

The countless people living in the Black Abyss wore blank expressions, feeling as though they were still in a dream.

However, when the Origin Qi in the world suddenly became extremely dense, they awoke, realizing that the Origin Qi within their own bodies, which had been stagnant for years, was also beginning to increase in this new environment.

Everyone went wild.

In the past, the Black Abyss had very sparse Origin Qi, and the desolate land made it incredibly barren, so hardly anyone would live here unless absolutely forced to.

Now, however, this former desolate wasteland was showing signs of transforming into a blessed land.

The changes in the Black Abyss left countless people perplexed; they clearly had no idea what was happening.

However, just as they were rejoicing wildly, the space above the Black Abyss violently distorted. The void was then torn open, and terrifying figures of light streaked out from within.

These figures carried an unimaginable pressure. As they appeared, all living beings in the Black Abyss felt as if even their souls had frozen, rendering them immobile.

It was conceivable that with just a thought, these figures could utterly annihilate all life within the Black Abyss.

Fortunately, in the eyes of these powerful figures, they were as tiny as ants, so the figures did not linger for a moment, heading directly for the depths of the Black Abyss.

More figures continuously appeared, causing the world to tremble. The living beings in the Black Abyss all trembled and knelt, not even daring to raise their heads.

It was a long while later, after the terrifying presences had receded, that they dared to look up into the distance, exchanging terrified glances. Their eyes were filled with fear.

They had no idea what was happening in the depths of the Black Abyss, a place no one had ever set foot in, to attract so many terrifying experts...

Depths of the Black Abyss.

Above the Destructive Thunder Pool.

The void trembled, then was directly torn open by a terrifying force. A dozen or so figures of light slowly stepped out from the shattered void.

The one leading them was precisely Palace Master Shengyuan of the Sacred Palace.

His silver eyes gazed at this world, finally settling on the Destructive Thunder Pool below. A hint of surprise appeared on his face as he said, "Is this truly the accursed land from back then?!"

"Haha, how interesting. This place was once destroyed by the Sacred Race, yet in the end, you, Cangxuan, actually hid the Cangxuan Saint Seal here. I never would have thought!"

"But alas, these methods of yours are ultimately useless."

"This Cangxuan Saint Seal should change hands!"

However, just as Palace Master Shengyuan's voice fell, the void not far away was torn open again. Terrifying Origin Qi pressure enveloped the world, and an indifferent voice resounded, "Shengyuan, I'm afraid you are not worthy of possessing this Cangxuan Saint Seal."

Palace Master Shengyuan smiled faintly and looked over. "So, the Cangxuan Sect has arrived."

There, Sect Master Qingyang stood suspended in the air, with Peak Master Lianyi and others behind him.

Immense Origin Qi surged and rolled, so dense that it formed endless clouds, covering the sky and earth as if to destroy everything.

"Heh heh, it's quite lively."

At this moment, the void was torn open again. A somewhat hunched, aged figure slowly stepped out, and as he appeared, the entire world seemed to echo with the humming of swords.

It was an old man clad in sackcloth. He appeared hunched and aged, yet as he stood there, he was like an ancient divine sword, capable of slaying gods.

Behind the old man followed a group of figures, also exuding immense sharp energy.

Valley Master Yin Xiao, whom Zhou Yuan had previously met, was among them. Clearly, these new arrivals were from the Ask-the-Sword Sect.

"Heavenly Sword Sovereign..."

Sect Master Qingyang's gaze narrowed slightly as he looked at the aged figure.

This Heavenly Sword Sovereign was, naturally, the Sect Master of the Ask-the-Sword Sect. Furthermore, he was considered to be of the same generation as Old Ancestor Cangxuan, with extremely ancient qualifications. He had been in secluded cultivation for many years, but this time, facing the emergence of the Cangxuan Saint Seal, he had no choice but to appear.

Not long after the Ask-the-Sword Sect appeared, the void in this area began to violently fluctuate, and a terrifyingly powerful figure arrived, tearing through the air.

"I never thought I would live to see the day the Cangxuan Saint Seal appears." As the void trembled, a giant stepped out. Ancient whale patterns of light seemed to be inscribed on his body. When he appeared, even the void continuously collapsed, as if unable to bear his weight.

This was a manifestation of cultivating the physical body to an indescribable level, truly immortal and indestructible.

The sound he emitted was louder than thunder, shaking the earth and cracking the void.

The giant seemed to realize that the world here was shaking precariously from his presence, so his colossal body began to shrink. After a few breaths, he transformed into a bare-chested middle-aged man.

His face was simple and honest, like an old farmer's, and ancient whale patterns were etched upon his body.

Venerable Ancient Whale of the Northern Sea Suppressing Dragon Hall.

After Venerable Ancient Whale appeared, a strange fragrance appeared in the air. A gigantic lotus of light slowly bloomed in the void, and within it stood a beautiful woman in a colorful dress, barefoot. Her aura and beauty were peerless.

Palace Master Shan Qingzi of the Hundred Flowers Immortal Palace.

"Heh heh, it's been many years, and Palace Master Shan is still as beautiful as ever. Truly worthy of being the foremost beauty of my Cangxuan Heaven back then." Not far from the gigantic lotus of light, endless sinister black smoke surged from the void. The black mist rolled, bringing with it piercing screams that filled the sky.

From within the black mist, a black-robed figure slowly ascended. It was a corpulent, pale-skinned man. He casually grabbed a soul from the black mist, shoved it into his mouth, chewed it, and swallowed it, then looked at the Palace Master of the Hundred Flowers Immortal Palace with green glowing eyes.

This was precisely Mansion Master Moluo of the Heavenly Ghost Mansion.

At this very moment, all six great sects of Cangxuan Heaven had arrived!

Moreover, further out, in the periphery, figures of light continuously tore through the air. All of them possessed powerful auras; in normal times, they would be top-tier experts, mighty figures in their own right.

Yet here, they could only temporarily stay on the outer fringes and observe.

It can be said without exaggeration that over ninety percent of Cangxuan Heaven's top existences had appeared in the depths of the Black Abyss.

Palace Master Shengyuan smiled as he gazed at the scene of powerful figures gathering. He leisurely said, "Since the battle between my Sacred Palace and Cangxuan back then, this Cangxuan Heaven hasn't been this lively in many years."

"I presume you all came here because you sensed the fluctuations of the Cangxuan Saint Seal..."

"Haha, very well then. Since you're here, let's invite the Saint Seal to reveal itself first!"

As his voice fell, Palace Master Shengyuan extended his palm towards the Thunder Pool below and suddenly clenched his hand.

Boom! Boom!

As he clenched his hand, the Destructive Thunder Pool below immediately began to fluctuate violently and was directly torn open. The next instant, a certain void hidden within the Thunder Pool was also slowly torn open.

When the space there was torn open, the scene within fell into the eyes of the many top experts present.

The next instant, the atmosphere in the world subtly froze. Everyone's expressions became a mixture of surprise and intrigue, and even Palace Master Shengyuan's face stiffened slightly.

This was because they saw, in that mysterious space, precisely where the Cangxuan Saint Seal was located, a young figure also raised his head, looking somewhat bewildered, and his gaze met theirs.

"Someone had already gotten to the Cangxuan Saint Seal first?!"
