"You mean we join forces to get that mystical device out of the Original Restricted Zone first, and then discuss how to divide it, right?" Pangu Yun asked while looking at Jing Wuhuan.

"Exactly. I believe everyone understands that so many experts have gathered here, especially some old-timers with inheritances who even brought powerful artifacts, all determined to obtain that mystical device. Although we are all young powerhouses, relying solely on individual strength to claim the device is beyond anyone's capability. It's better for us to cooperate!" Jing Wuhuan said expressionlessly.

"And what if the mystical device cannot be divided?" Huo Xianer asked with a frown.

"Isn't it obvious? In the Martial Arts World, the law is always that only the strong have the right to obtain. Among us, there must be a contest to determine who is superior!" Iron Fan Young Master said with a forceful and cold demeanor.

At this moment, Ye Tianchen did not speak, instead pondering that their proposal to collaborate was reasonable. However, since there's only one mystical device, after a short-term collaboration, a bloody conflict is inevitable. Surely there will be a life-and-death battle among these people, as everyone wants to claim the device for themselves. Otherwise, why come here? I'm afraid that like Pangu Yun, who might just want to gain experience and isn't particularly interested in the mystical device, there's only him!

"This woman from the Purple Bamboo Forest is not simple; she actually knows some information about that mystical device!" Little Zhu Yan transmitted through Divine Thought to Ye Tianchen.

"What do you mean?" Ye Tianchen asked through Divine Thought as well.

"Nothing much, the woman doesn't know much more. Rest assured, you kid will have an edge in this battle for the mystical device, so there's no need to collaborate with them!" Little Zhu Yan chuckled and said.

"What unique advantage? You trickster, speak clearly." Ye Tianchen asked with a frown.

"You'll know when the time comes, there will be a surprise." Little Zhu Yan said with a mischievous smile.

"Regardless, I'm still going to team up with them. At least before getting near that mystical device, cooperation is essential." Ye Tianchen said to Little Zhu Yan using Divine Thought.

"It's up to you. Anyway, this group all comes from formidable legacies; cooperation is fine, but always stay vigilant." Little Zhu Yan said in an unusually cautious tone.

Ye Tianchen nodded, saying no more. Even without Little Zhu Yan's reminder, he would be cautious. Whether it's Pangu Yun, Iron Fan Young Master, Jing Wuhuan, or Huo Xianer, they are all very powerful and come from deep and mysterious legacies, possibly having secret treasures or secret techniques to use at crucial moments. So, Ye Tianchen did not underestimate them, but instead, took them very seriously.

"What do you think, Fat Taoist, do you have any problem?" Pangu Yun asked Ye Tianchen with a smile.

"Since none of you have a problem, how could I? Naturally, we should cooperate!" Ye Tianchen replied with a smile.

The current peace signifies a more violent storm of blood and wind is coming. Ye Tianchen and the others temporarily reached an agreement and became "allies." However, this "ally" relationship will only last until they collectively remove the mystical device from the Original Restricted Zone. After that, it will be everyone for themselves, with life and death at stake.

In these three days, the entire "Original Restricted Zone" was not calm outside where the Immortal Light Array was blocking. There were often battles and some bloodshed, with Martial Artists being killed for being unable to withstand challengers. Of course, this was unrelated to Ye Tianchen and his group. They were young powerhouses that even the least insightful could see were not to be trifled with, especially now that they had formed a temporary "ally" relationship, seemingly ready to enter the "Original Restricted Zone" to seize the treasure.

Rumble!

Early in the morning of the third day, the entire Original Restricted Zone was trembling intensely, startling all the meditating Martial Artists to open their eyes, all with looks of surprise and excitement. The Immortal Light Array was dimming, seemingly about to open, making everyone agitated and excited. They were all Martial Arts Experts, just a step away from the mystical device. Perhaps the next moment they would see it, or even obtain it. Who wouldn't be tempted?

Buzz!

Suddenly, in a corner of the Immortal Light Array, a passage appeared, exuding threads of strong Spiritual Energy, as if a door had been opened. Everyone was startled, some even trembled with excitement, as the mystical device seemed about to appear, possibly an Emperor's Artifact or even an Immortal Artifact. Imagine, obtaining an Immortal Artifact? Who could withstand its power?

"Oh my, it's appearing!"

"Although the Immortal Light Array hasn't completely disappeared, a door has appeared, letting us enter…"

"I can't wait, I must witness this mystical device…"

Swoosh!

Swoosh!

Swoosh!

When an opening appeared in the Immortal Light Array, more than a dozen martial arts experts couldn't contain their excitement and immediately rushed towards it.

"Ah..."

Poof!

Poof!

Poof!

The screams echoed as other martial artists, eager not to let others seize the opportunity, watched in shock as the first dozen plunged forward, only to explode into a cloud of blood mist, leaving no trace behind. This scene left everyone stunned and speechless, unable to fathom what had just happened.

Whoosh!

A martial arts expert forcibly flew out of the Immortal Light Cave. Unlike the others who shattered immediately, he managed to retreat. However, his body quickly cracked, and his face contorted in fear, a natural reaction when facing death.

"This... this array only allows those whose cultivation realm is suppressed to the Early Stage Martial Spirit to enter. Unfortunately, I was a step too late..."

Poof!

The last martial artist who rushed out also exploded, meeting the same fate. However, he provided others with a wake-up call: to enter the Immortal Light Array, one's cultivation realm must be suppressed to the Martial Spirit Stage. Otherwise, one faces obliteration, as the domain within the array crushes anything beyond this level.

"What? Only cultivators at the Martial Spirit Realm can enter?"

"Does that mean we all have to suppress our cultivation to that level?"

"If that's the case, wouldn't lower-level cultivators have an advantage once inside?"

"Great, I thought our low cultivation level would mean no chance with the unique treasure, but this is a blessing!" a cultivator with Martial Spirit realm cultivation laughed.

"Don't celebrate too soon. Even if lower cultivation levels benefit within the array, won't the powerful martial artists outside wait to strike once you leave with the treasure?" someone worried aloud.

"What's to fear? After acquiring the unique treasure, one might become invincible. Besides, you could simply stay inside until your cultivation and strength are sufficient before emerging!"

The remaining martial artists each had their own thoughts. The Immortal Light Array's domain suppression to the Martial Spirit Stage, the lowest martial arts realm, puzzled many. The powerful figures who set it up in the past had intentions unknown, but it undoubtedly benefits those with lower cultivation. However, it's frustrating for powerful heritages like the Ding Sect, Wang family, and Xinyang family, who dispatched elders and even concealed Supreme Elders, only to find their strength useless because they can't enter the array.

"Hmph, everyone, it seems we should act. Even if we suppress our realm, we remain stronger than many others. Let's go; the unique treasure is destined for our Ding Sect!"

An elder from the Ding Sect stood and suppressed his realm to the Martial Spirit Stage, stepping towards the Immortal Light Array's opening. The other elders with him did the same, boldly entering after suppressing their cultivation. Seeing this, others couldn't stand idly by, quickly suppressing their realms and heading into the array.

"Scoundrel, you said I had a distinct advantage in acquiring the unique treasure. Is this what you meant?" Ye Tianchen said irritably to Little Zhu Yan.

"Heh heh, you'll find out once you enter; once inside the Immortal Light Array, it's your world. The unique treasure is destined to be mine — oh no, ours!" Zhu Yan laughed mischievously.
