Seeing this, Wang Yi glanced around and noticed that there were already more than ten people on the sandy ground. Among them, seven were Transcendent Realm Experts, and two had reached the Void Realm. The rest were handsome men and beautiful women, all at the Gaze of the Abyss level, clearly strong figures from the younger generation of Zhongzhou.
At that moment, a whistling sound suddenly echoed through the air.
Hearing the sound, Wang Yi looked up and saw several figures streaking through the sky, landing on the sand. The leader was a middle-aged man in his forties, standing at seven feet six inches tall, dressed in luxurious clothing. His eyebrows were sharp like swords, and his eyes shone brightly like stars. Just standing there gave Wang Yi a sense of strength.
"Li Mingqian?" Soon, Wang Yi's gaze fell upon a similarly splendidly dressed young man. The young man was in his twenties, tall and slender, with a white jade belt at his waist and fair skin. He also had sharp eyebrows, and upon closer inspection, one could see some resemblance to the middle-aged man.
Most importantly, Yang Yu recognized this young man; he was indeed Li Mingqian.
"I didn't expect that even Li Yixuan would come for this Void Palace opening. It seems other Five Great True Spirit Families will send people as well."
"Hehe, the treasures in the Void Palace are numerous; even Li Yixuan would be tempted."
"Li Yixuan is a Void-Phase Late Stage expert; with him here, those strong figures wouldn't dare to compete with him!"
Upon hearing the discussions among the crowd, Wang Yi realized that this person was Li Mingqian's father, Li Yixuan, the current head of the Xuanwu Family and a Void-Phase Late Stage expert.
"Feng You!" At that moment, Li Yixuan's gaze suddenly fell on Feng You, slightly surprised as he said, "You've broken through."
"Hahaha, Brother Li is overpraising me." Feng You suddenly opened his eyes wide, stood up straight, looked directly at Li Yixuan, and laughed heartily: "Brother Li has come this time; could it be for that item?"
"Isn't that right, Brother Feng?" Li Yixuan replied lightly while looking at Feng You with a smile.
"Hahaha."
After saying this, Li Yixuan and Feng You exchanged glances and burst into laughter.
"Whoosh! Whoosh!"
At this moment, a sudden sound of wind breaking filled the air. Everyone turned to see several people appearing on the sandy ground.
Leading them was a man in his forties clad in yellow. He was tall and imposing with prominent features—a hawk-like nose and long eyebrows—naturally exuding an intimidating aura.
"Wu Ba." As several people appeared, someone immediately recognized them.
"Wu Qingling." Yang Yu also recognized one of the women in colorful attire; she was Wang Yi, known as Wu Qingling. Her wavy black hair danced lightly in the breeze, her crescent-shaped beautiful eyebrows framed a pair of dreamy almond-shaped eyes, complemented by a cute jade-like nose, slightly flushed peach-colored cheeks, and lips like orchids. Her fair face resembled pure cream, with skin as flawless as frost or snow. She had a tall and graceful figure that was captivating.
"Brother Li has also arrived," Wu Ba said with a smile.
"It has been a long time since I last saw you, Brother Wu. Your cultivation has improved quite a bit!" Li Mingqian said with a grin.
"Just some occasional insights, nothing worth mentioning. How can it compare to Brother Li's Xuanwu True Skill?" Wu Ba replied calmly.
"Oh, has Brother Wu touched upon that level of power?" Li Mingqian asked in surprise.
"We five have been stuck at this realm for such a long time; it is not easy to break through!" Wu Ba sighed lightly.
Watching the conversation between Wu Ba and Li Mingqian, Wang Yi appeared calm on the surface, but her heart was stirred with waves of emotion. She never expected to encounter so many powerful individuals in such a short time.
In the following two hours, Wang Yi met Ji Hong, Lin Xuan, and Xiao Baiyi.
By this point, with the opening of the Void Palace, many strong individuals had already gathered in the sandy area. All were formidable figures from the Void-Viewing Three Realms. Wang Yi felt assured that nearly eight layers of strong practitioners from Zhongzhou had converged here.
"Whoosh! Whoosh!"
At noon, suddenly there was a sound of breaking air as four dazzling figures shot through the sky.
In the blink of an eye, these four figures landed on the ground. The leader was a middle-aged man in white robes, nearly forty years old, tall and handsome; beside the White-Clad Man stood a young man around twenty-two or twenty-three years old, with fair skin and an extraordinary appearance—truly a handsome man.
"Wang Cheng has arrived," an Elder in Blue Robes said while looking at the White-Clad Man, his face revealing a hint of respect.
"Brother Wang is here."
Wu Ba, Li Yixuan, Lin Lie, Xiao Xuan, Ji Yongtai, and others took turns cupping their hands in greeting.
"It seems I am the last one," Wang Cheng said with a smile.
"The time has come, and Brother Wang has arrived just in time," Wu Ba laughed.
Looking at Wang Cheng, a hint of surprise appeared on Wang Yi's face. If he was not mistaken, the person before him was the father of this body.
"That guy is the current head of the Wang Family, Wang Cheng. The person behind him is the number one among the younger generation of the Wang Family, Wang Hang," Feng You said with a laugh.
Upon hearing this, Wang Yi's gaze fell on Wang Hang. At the peak of the Late Stage of Insight, he thought to himself that Wang Hang truly deserved to be the top figure of the Wang Family. His strength was significantly greater than that of Li Mingqian and Ji Hong, even though their realms were the same. Wang Yi was certain that the former's strength surpassed that of Ji Hong and others.
Suddenly feeling a pair of eyes observing him, Wang Hang turned around and saw an ordinary-looking young man in his line of sight. He coldly smiled; with his status, he had not even regarded Wang Yi, especially since at this moment, Wang Yi had changed his appearance. Only Feng You knew his true face.
Thus, Wang Hang quickly withdrew his gaze.
"Child, who exactly are you?" At that moment, Feng You's voice echoed in Wang Yi's Sea of Consciousness.
Hearing this, Wang Yi remained silent. He looked over and saw Feng You standing with his hands clasped behind his back, gazing into the void. When Feng You noticed Wang Yi looking at him, he cast a calm glance at him that made Wang Yi's heart tremble.
"Don't you already know?" Wang Yi transmitted calmly to Feng You, secretly mocking himself. It was evident that Feng You had noticed how much he resembled Wang Cheng and thus doubted his identity again.
"Hmph, since you are unwilling to tell me who you are, so be it. However, I must inform you that if you do not help me accomplish certain tasks, there will be no need for you to remain in this world. Even if you truly are Wang Cheng's son, it won't make a difference. Moreover, I know that Wang Cheng has no children throughout his life," Feng You said coldly. "So you'd better be honest and not hinder my important matters."
"You can rest assured; I will not go against my own life," Wang Yi replied coldly.
Feng You let out a faint snort and shifted his gaze away from Wang Yi to Bian Burang. "The people from the Six Great True Spirit Families have all arrived; it seems we are ready."
Upon hearing this, Bian Burang, Lian Cheng Jue, and Pu Shiren remained silent. Although none of them spoke, Wang Yi could still sense the heavy emotions they were expressing. After all, Wang Cheng and the other six were all strong practitioners at the Void-Phase Late Stage. Whether those six could truly cooperate was something only they knew.
"Rumbling!"
At that moment, a tremor shook the void, accompanied by a rumbling sound.
"The time has come!" exclaimed a White-Bearded Elder joyfully.
As soon as he finished speaking, a massive palace appeared above the sandy ground, imposing and spectacular. The two jade doors were tightly closed, emanating an overwhelming pressure.
At this moment, Wang Yi's gaze followed the crowd's attention, and he saw above the Jade Gate a white jade plaque inscribed with three large characters: "Void Palace." The characters were carved with silver hooks, appearing as if they had existed since the beginning of time.
"Void Palace?" Wang Yi looked at the three characters and suddenly felt a sense of familiarity, as if he had seen this palace somewhere before.
"Buddy, the Void Palace is divided into the outer palace and the inner palace. We will enter the inner palace later, but you should first secure a spot in the Spirit Spring and strive to break through to the Initial Stage of Insight, understand?" Feng You said with a smile.
"Feng You, with his strength, it might not be easy for him to qualify for the Spirit Spring!" Pu Shiren raised an eyebrow upon hearing this, looking at Wang Yi with concern.
"That depends on whether he has that strength," Feng You said, smiling at Wang Yi. "Right, buddy?"
"How will I find you then?" Wang Yi replied calmly.
"Did I not mark a red dot on the map I gave you? Just follow the direction indicated by the red dot, and you'll reach your destination," Feng You explained.
"Kid, remember not to make any mistakes," Bian Burang warned, his gaze coldly fixed on Wang Yi.
Hearing this, Wang Yi silently glanced at Bian Burang but remained silent.
"Rumbling!"
Bian Burang did not expect that this ignorant child would dare to look at him like that; his expression turned slightly angry. Suddenly, a rumbling sound echoed as the Jade Gate of the Void Palace slowly opened.
"Let's go."
Feng You's eyes sparkled with excitement as he soared into the air towards the Jade Gate.
Bian Burang and the others followed closely behind.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh."
At the same time, other powerful beings also began to enter the Void Palace.
As Wang Yi stepped through the Jade Gate, he immediately saw a massive plaza.
Soon, Wang Yi landed on the square with Feng You. Looking around, he saw that both sides of the square were filled with an empty void, boundless and infinite, while in front and behind him were countless stone doors opening.
Before long, hundreds of martial artists from the Void-Viewing Three Realms appeared in the square, among them over a hundred strong practitioners from the Transcendent Realm and Void Realm. They were all seasoned veterans, while the others were all Young Masters under thirty years old with remarkable strength. However, they were all warriors of the Gaze of the Abyss; although their realms were the same, only they knew their true capabilities.
"Now that everyone is here, let's determine the quota for the spiritual spring," Li Mingqian stepped forward and said loudly. "The amount of spiritual spring is only enough for ten people to soak in, and only martial artists under thirty years old can enter. Therefore, according to past rules, the top ten in strength will qualify."
"What the Li Family head says is absolutely right; the qualification for the spiritual spring should be based on strength, and no one should interfere."
"Indeed, we cannot be careless about the spiritual spring. Although it may not benefit us, it is very important for these juniors."
Everyone shared the same opinion, and no one opposed.
"Why didn't you tell me earlier?" Wang Yi frowned and asked Feng You.
"Isn't it the same now that you know?" Feng You replied nonchalantly. "The Cultivation World respects strength; those who are strong should obtain the qualification for the spiritual spring. If you can't even do this, what use is it for me to call you here?"
"Hmph." Wang Yi snorted coldly and fell silent.
"Let's begin." At this moment, Li Mingqian walked to the center of the square, pulled his hands toward the air, and suddenly a stone platform with a radius of a hundred feet appeared before everyone. The latter showed no surprise but glanced around at everyone and said loudly, "Those competing for the quota of the spiritual spring, step forward!"
