Chapter 221: Opportunity In Lingyang Cave
The Hidden Immortal Cave is an ancient cave group that contains many immortal murals and statues. It was excavated at the foot of the Chongxue Peak and at first glance, it looks similar to the Longmen Grottoes.
However, the murals and statues here are not only sturdy but also exceptionally resilient to the erosion of time, and no miracles have ever occurred. Gradually, the attention of the Langhuan Heavenly Palace to this place has also decreased.
No one expected that after thousands of years of silence, there would be anomalies in one of the caves belonging to the Hidden Immortal Cave, called the Lingyang Cave.
The stone statue carved in the cave is named Lingyang Jun, according to ancient records, he was an ancient mountain god who was appointed by the Heavenly Court and was known as the "Lingyang" in ancient times.
During these days, the stone statue seemed to be imbued with spirituality, constantly emitting light. Even in broad daylight, the cave was dimly lit, but at night, it was brightly illuminated. The entire Lingyang Cave seemed to be in the era when Lingyang Jun was the mountain god, and many events from that time were circulating in the light and shadow.
Those in the cultivation world who have some experience with "283" know that when treasures are born, there will always be extraordinary phenomena. The sudden illumination of Lingyang Cave is definitely not a coincidence.
Not only did a large number of scholars from the surrounding areas come to explore, but many disciples from the internal sect also came. As the radiance of the Lingyang Jun statue became more abundant, even the true disciples of various internal sect peaks were attracted.
People were waiting for the development of the anomalies to reach their peak and for the impending scenes to appear.
Finally, one night, the radiance reached its peak, and scenes from the ancient Heavenly Court era seemed to be truly reproduced among the crowd. Some people suddenly discovered that some objects in these scenes could actually be touched, undoubtedly the opportunity of this encounter. They immediately became ecstatic and began to compete for them.
Fortunately, this is within the Langhuan Heavenly Palace, and the Heavenly Palace has long established rules that prioritize those who have opportunities in ancient relics.
Although there will definitely be people taking advantage of the chaos, there is still a bottom line.
In the end, the radiance of the Lingyang Lord's stone statue faded and disappeared. After that, everyone obtained their respective opportunities.
"I got it! I got it! It's the cultivation method of the Lingyang Lord. Hahaha, it's actually an Earth Grade technique!"
In the cultivation world, techniques are generally divided into four grades: Heaven, Earth, Profound, and Yellow. Earth Grade techniques are already very high-end, and disciples who obtain such techniques are envied and jealous by others.
However, there is an advantage in the Langxuan Heavenly Palace. There are many advanced techniques, and becoming an official disciple gives one the opportunity to practice them. If one's contributions to the sect are sufficient, they can even learn Heaven Grade techniques.
There is no need to violate the sect's rules for the sake of an Earth Grade technique and become a target of public criticism.
Moreover, if a disciple obtains a technique that Langxuan Heavenly Palace does not have and is willing to hand it over, the palace will provide generous rewards. Most disciples are willing to submit these techniques for the sake of cultivation resources or other conveniences, allowing the palace to choose who can learn them.
If disciples really want to learn, they can contribute to the sect and learn through proper procedures, without the need to attack and seize others' techniques.
However, the situation may be a bit dangerous for disciples who obtain physical treasures.
Although direct robbery is rare on the surface, the rules and laws of the heavenly palace do provide some protection for the personal safety of disciples. However, there are many methods to make someone give up their treasures, such as coercion, bribery, and seizing by force.
Not to mention that some powerful and ruthless forces may do something extreme. For example, the case of the Xiao family attacking the Chu family's estate exposed the fact that certain forces have no limits.
Some clever disciples would never reveal the opportunities they obtained, keeping them hidden in their bosoms or storage bags. It is best to remain unknown. However, there are also some inexperienced disciples or those who are unable to act in time, and they may be seen by others.
"This is unfair! How can a Qi Refining stage cultivator like him get such a good defensive jade pendant? Why don't I have his luck?"
"Buddy, what do you want? Your family is so wealthy, just buy it directly."
"XXX nephew, did you really obtain an ancient talisman? Show it to your senior uncles and senior brothers, if you can comprehend the ancient symbol arts from it, it would be a great achievement!"
"That guy XXX thinks no one noticed, he obtained an ancient artifact, maybe even a treasure!"
"Hey, my father is an elder of the X family, and he happens to be under the tutelage of our family's forge. I'll have my father intimidate him a bit, and he'll obediently hand over the item!"
Such things were numerous. Some disciples were more stubborn and would fight against unfairness for their own interests, while others were more timid and would surrender in the face of threats and temptations.
The current acting palace manager, Yan Shu, was not someone who could effectively restrain and rectify misconduct. Chaos immediately broke out on the scene after the opportunity to obtain the Lingyang Cave ended.
But the most eye-catching thing was the whereabouts of a pure white, yet unknown material, token...
It had a simple yet extremely enticing name - the Imperial Decree Mountain God Token!
This object was similar to an official seal, and it was the core item that governed the jurisdiction of the gods under the Heavenly Court during the ancient times.
Now that the ancient Heavenly Court no longer existed, the effectiveness of such tokens had greatly diminished. However, they still possessed tremendous power. By bringing it to the ancient Lingyang region, not only would one gain a boost in strength within the corresponding area, but there would also be many additional benefits, such as summoning Yin soldiers and commanding local mountain spirits and forest creatures to alter the terrain.
It could be said that with this item, one could directly play the role of a low-level Lingyang Lord in the Lingyang region.
The crowd admired, envied, and resented the recipient, offering their congratulations with clasped hands. However, the crowd slowly gathered and began to stir with restlessness.
The disciples who received the imperial decree from the Mountain God did not show any signs of happiness. After randomly bowing and saluting the people around them, they realized that the situation was not good and shouted loudly, "Law enforcement disciples, where are the law enforcement disciples? The crowd is about to get out of control!"
Many people at the scene wanted to beat him up. Although they had the intention, how could they shout it out? Don't they care about their reputation?
That disciple was quite clever. When he saw the law enforcement disciples reluctantly coming over, he protected himself and let out a sigh of relief. Then he laughed loudly, danced around, and shouted, "Come on, push! Are you guys jealous because you saw me get the most valuable treasure worth 5.8? Do you want to take advantage of the chaos?"
Let me tell you, no way! The rules of the Heavenly Palace are right here. If you have the ability, break through the human wall of the law enforcement disciples and come fight me!"
The crowd was already restless due to the previous scramble for opportunities. Being provoked like this, many people became even more excited and really wanted to beat him up.
"Who is this kid?"
"Not familiar, looks like an arrogant one. I'll teach him a lesson later."
"I really want to beat him up!"
The leader of the law enforcement disciples saw the commotion in the crowd and became somewhat worried. He coughed and whispered, "Junior brother, just vent a little. Aren't you afraid of offending people and getting hit with a club?"
That disciple choked for a moment and snorted, "They were the ones thinking of snatching from me first!"
But his tone softened towards the others, "Each and every one of you, stop thinking about snatching other people's opportunities. If you have the ability, go find your own!"
