Ling Fan waved his hand, grabbed across the void, and took the storage spiritual artifacts left by the young master of the Heavenly Remnant Sect and others into his hand.
His divine intent forcefully invaded, erasing the divine intent imprints of the original owners.
He nodded. These people from the Heavenly Remnant Sect were quite well-off. Especially in the storage spiritual artifact of the young master of the Heavenly Remnant Sect, there were many good things.
Ling Fan took out all the法则石 (Fa Ze Shi - Law Stones) from these storage spiritual artifacts. The法则石 alone numbered nearly ten thousand!
For rogue cultivators like Han Hai, this was already an astronomical figure.
After all, they initially only wanted to exchange for four法则石 to comprehend the martial laws in advance.
When Ling Fan took out four thousand法则石 and gave them to Han Hai and the others, Han Hai and the others repeatedly waved their hands, not daring to accept.
"Brother Ling, this... is too much, we dare not accept it, unearned rewards are not accepted! We only need four pieces."
"Stop dawdling, if Boss Ling wants to give it, then take it! These little things are nothing to Boss Ling and me."
The toad forcefully stuffed four thousand法则石 to Han Hai and the four.
The four reluctantly accepted.
Han Hai said worriedly, "Brother Ling, the Heavenly Remnant Sect is not to be trifled with. They are considered a relatively powerful seven-star martial force in the East Lin Domain. The Sect Master of the Heavenly Remnant Sect is also a top expert ranked high on the Martial Lord List, ranking nineteenth. I don't know if the Sect Master of the Heavenly Remnant Sect has arrived. Just now, the young master of the Heavenly Remnant Sect said that their Heavenly Remnant Sect had a peak Golden Core expert. I don't know if it was the Sect Master of the Heavenly Remnant Sect. We should leave quickly. We don't need to go to Guansheng Cliff, saving our lives is more important."
Ling Fan's gaze lowered slightly.
The Heavenly Remnant Sect indeed seemed very strong, at least much stronger than seven-star forces like Xuan Yue Island and Giant Whale City, with an expert on the Martial Lord List guarding the sect.
No wonder the young master of the Heavenly Remnant Sect dared to be so arrogant, it turned out he had such a powerful backer.
However, Ling Fan did not take the Heavenly Remnant Sect to heart.
He smiled faintly and said, "Don't worry, if people from the Heavenly Remnant Sect dare to come and cause trouble, just send them away."
Han Hai and the others looked at each other, not knowing where Ling Fan's confidence came from.
Did he think this toad could contend with the peak Golden Core expert of the Heavenly Remnant Sect?
How was that possible!
This toad was only a quasi-Golden Core. It would be the limit to deal with two early Golden Core experts. Peak Golden Core was incomparable to early Golden Core; they were top Martial Lord figures standing at the apex of the pyramid.
The toad said, "Stop talking nonsense. If Boss Ling says it's fine, then nothing will happen. Just go into Guansheng Cliff!"
The toad urged.
Han Hai and the others gritted their teeth, made up their minds, and sought wealth amidst danger, going all out!
With so many法则石, coupled with the inheritance stone tablets of Guansheng Cliff, perhaps this time they could cultivate to the peak of the Condensing Core realm, or even the quasi-Golden Core realm, laying a solid foundation for future breakthroughs to the Golden Core realm.
Opportunity knocks but once!
Han Hai, Yang Shili, Lu Binian, and Jin Gu made up their minds and followed Ling Fan and the toad towards Guansheng Cliff.
...
On the other side.
The young master of the Heavenly Remnant Sect, along with two battered early Golden Core experts and other Heavenly Remnant Sect experts, found the main contingent of the Heavenly Remnant Sect.
He pushed through the crowd and came before a burly and majestic old man, crying, "Great Elder! You must avenge me!"
The young master of the Heavenly Remnant Sect recounted what had happened.
However, he distorted the facts, turning it into Ling Fan and the toad forcibly robbing them of their法则石.
And that they had injured them.
When the Great Elder of the Heavenly Remnant Sect heard this, his eyes immediately showed a terrifying killing intent.
"How could this happen! How dare they touch our Heavenly Remnant Sect's young master, I think these rogue cultivators don't want to live."
"Great Elder, they are over there, quickly help me kill them all!"
The young master of the Heavenly Remnant Sect said.
The Great Elder shook his head, "Young Master, there's no hurry with this matter. Now that the one-horned demon horse has left, it's time to enter Guansheng Cliff. Revenge can be sought anytime, but the opportunity of Guansheng Cliff is only once a year. This matter is urgent."
The young master of the Heavenly Remnant Sect had no choice but to nod.
...
At this moment.
Not only Ling Fan and his group, but also the people of the Heavenly Remnant Sect, experts from other major forces, and a large number of rogue cultivator experts were all surging into Guansheng Cliff.
When they flew to the foot of Guansheng Cliff, an invisible force enveloped them. They could not fly and had to descend and climb Guansheng Cliff on foot.
The toad looked at the surging crowd of experts, like a swarm of locusts, and asked, "Holy crap, there are too many people! Must be thousands upon thousands? How many stone tablets are there on Guansheng Cliff, will there be enough to go around?"
Han Hai introduced to Ling Fan and the toad, "Guansheng Cliff is divided into three levels, with three stone tablet forests."
"The first level, the first stone tablet forest, has a total of twenty-six intact martial inheritance stone tablets. The inheritances in these twenty-six stone tablets are all Golden Core martial laws."
"The second level, the second stone tablet forest, has seven intact martial stone tablets preserved. The Golden Core laws recorded on these seven stone tablets are more profound and powerful than those on the first level."
"As for the highest third level, the third stone tablet forest, only three stone tablets have been preserved. Each stone tablet records an incomparably powerful and mysterious sacred dao."
The toad counted on its claws, "Twenty-six, plus seven, plus three, damn, only thirty-six stone tablets in total, what the hell, too many people for too few resources."
Han Hai explained, "Each stone tablet can accommodate quite a few experts to comprehend simultaneously, but the number it can accommodate is limited, with a maximum of no more than one hundred."
"Doesn't that mean that most people actually won't get the chance to comprehend the stone tablets."
Yang Shili, Lu Binian, and Jin Gu were also visiting Guansheng Cliff for the first time, feeling a bit uneasy. As rogue cultivators, they were already at a disadvantage, and being a scattered group, they could not compete with the experts from major forces.
Therefore, they were very uncertain and did not know if they could seize this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
Han Hai said, "The reality is indeed like this. Opportunities are inherently scarce, and they are basically monopolized by people from the seven-star martial forces, leaving even fewer opportunities for us rogue cultivators. But no matter what, we have to strive for it! This might be the only chance in our lives to touch the Golden Core realm opportunities."
"Mm."
Yang Shili, Lu Binian, and Jin Gu nodded heavily.
The toad waved its claws and said heroically, "Don't worry, you have Lord Mo here. Lord Mo will protect you. If I can't protect you, there's still Boss Ling!"
As they spoke, everyone had already arrived in front of Guansheng Cliff.
A not-so-wide ancient stone staircase wound upwards along the mountain's terrain.
Standing at the foot of the staircase, an ancient and vicissitudinous sense of heaviness immediately rushed towards them.
Many people had already ascended the stone steps.
Behind them, a continuous stream of experts continued to pour in.
"Let's go!"
Han Hai and the others took the lead onto the stone steps.
Ling Fan withdrew his gaze from Guansheng Cliff and also stepped onto it.
