The next day, after everyone from the three heavens had a rest, the army set off for the ancient stone tablet hidden in the mountain’s depths.

But everyone suddenly stopped around ten thousand feet from the stone tablet. They peered through the fog and stared at the ancient stone tablet in the distance. The stone tablet was at least ten thousand feet tall. It resembled a mountain and seemed full of mystery when shrouded in the fog. 

Even at such a distance, one could distinctly feel a frightening oppressive pressure being released from the stone tablet, stopping the majority of the army from advancing any farther.

“Everyone, get into your assigned positions!” Guan Qinglong and Jiang Jinlin issued an order.

The troops from the Wushen Region, Tianyuan Region and Mythic Dragon Clan sat down cross-legged where they were, which was the first position.

The others looked enviously at them as they stepped back some distance and split into the second and third groups. Because the ancestral qi would erupt from the stone tablet, those closest to it would be able to absorb more ancestral qi, so the second and third groups were envious of those in the first group.

Zhou Yuan turned to the Tianyuan Region team and swept his gaze over the several familiar figures sitting in inconspicuous areas. They were Li Chunjun, Zuoqiu Qingyu, Luluo and the others. They also smiled at him to express their gratitude. 

They weren’t members of the Tianyuan Region, so if they were assigned positions according to normal circumstances, they would be in the third group and their share of benefits would be much smaller.

Therefore, Zhou Yuan secretly transferred them to the Tianyuan Region team, and given his prestige in Hunyuan Heaven, no one dared to object. After all, the Tianyuan Region was only in first position due to Zhou Yuan’s remarkable battle accomplishments. 

A little help from him was considered a great opportunity for Zuoqiu Qingyu and the others.

“Those with a foundation of at least 2 billion or those who can withstand the stone tablet’s pressure, come with us!” After the large army was settled, Guan Qinglong's imposing voice rang again.

Very quickly, a group of people exuding powerful Genesis Qi gathered.

Many gazes behind them were filled with envy and awe.

Zhou Yuan ran his eyes across everyone and saw that Wu Yao, Su Youwei and Zhao Mushen were also present. Zhao Mushen’s Genesis Qi was the strongest among the three. Moreover, Zhou Yuan could sense that his foundation had reached the 2 billion level, which was only 0.4 billion less than his. 

This should be the benefit of Zhao Mushen swallowing Wang Xuanyang.

As for Wu Yao and Su Youwei, although their Genesis Qi foundation hadn’t reached 2 billion, the two women were outstanding and could tolerate the stone tablet’s oppressive pressure. 

But no matter what, the fact that the three, who were only at the intermediate Heavenly Sun stage, were able to join the advanced Heavenly Sun experts and enjoy their opportunity showed how remarkable they were. Once they reached the advanced Heavenly Sun stage, Zhou Yuan felt that their strength would skyrocket once again, and they might even surpass Guan Qinglong!

“Junior brother Zhou Yuan, sorry to trouble you about the Cangxuan Sect matters. Junior sister Qingchan told me to say thank you,” a low voice sounded next to Zhou Yuan, and he turned and saw Chu Qing’s signature shiny head.

Zhou Yuan smiled. “Senior brother Chu Qing, have you forgotten that I’m also a member of the Cangxuan Sect?”

Then, Zhou Yuan shifted his gaze to the Cangxuan Sect’s area and saw a cold but beautiful woman sitting in the front looking at him with her bright eyes. Their gazes met, and Li Qingchan calmly looked away. However, Zhou Yuan could still see gratitude in her eyes.

After all, compared to their senior brother Chu Qing, who constantly tried to escape responsibilities, Li Qingchan was truly concerned and worried about many Cangxuan Sect matters.

“Let’s go.” Zhou Yuan retracted his gaze with a smile.   

The top experts from the three heavens all stepped into the thick fog and headed towards the ancient stone tablet in anticipation.

Soon, when Zhou Yuan and the others walked out of the dense fog, the ancient stone tablet finally revealed itself clearly in front of them.

Everyone’s eyes blazed brightly.  

The stone tablet towered into the clouds, and its surface was old and mottled. Its marks, which were traces left behind over countless years, gave off an extraordinary charm that caused the nearby Genesis Qi to fluctuate strangely. Moreover, the stone tablet released shocking waves of mighty ancestral qi, and the qi gradually condensed to form lotus platforms.

The ancestral qi lotus platforms didn’t surprise anyone because Guan Qinglong had mentioned them before, but everyone was delighted that there were more lotus platforms than Guan Qinglong had said.

Even so, there were only 25 seats.

And the number of elite experts from the three heavens who came here exceeded 25. 

Guan Qinglong started discussing things with Jiang Jinlin and the others again. Zhou Yuan didn’t participate because he knew that, given his accomplishments in the battle, even Qin Lian could get one, to say nothing of him.

The discussion soon ended. On Hunyuan Heaven’s side, the Wushen, Wanzu, Zixiao and Tianyuan Regions each got two lotus platforms. On the Wanshou Heaven’s side, the Mystic Dragon Clan, the Spirit Phoenix Clan and the Golden Monkey Clan each also received the same number. But for Cangxuan Heaven, except for Chu Qing, no one else had contributed enough in the battle to get one.

In a short moment, the 25 seats had been quickly allocated.

Those who hadn’t been assigned a lotus platform had no choice but to sit below the stone tablet and cultivate. However, this opportunity still far outweighed the troops in the distance.

“Everyone…” Guan Qinglong stared at the ancestral qi lotus platforms formed above the stone tablet with blazing eyes. “Although the previous battle was tragic, it’s time to collect our harvest. Of course, what opportunities you will obtain depends on your own good fortune.

“Let’s go!” 

Before his voice died away, 25 figures raced across the sky, each landing on one of the 25 ancestral qi lotus platforms.

As they descended, the ancient stone tablet seemed to sense something. The ground quaked violently, and vast amounts of ancestral qi erupted.  

The ancestral qi first swept up, forming a huge ancestral qi canopy over the stone tablet, even blotting out the sun. 

Hu!  

Soon after, ancestral qi rolled out like waves and eventually engulfed everyone from the three great heavens within tens of thousands of feet. Meanwhile, the 25 ancestral qi lotus platforms erupted in rays of dazzling light and gradually drowned the figures above them.
