Everyone had witnessed the power of the superior Immortal Artifact Taí Níng, and a fully capable person at the Golden Core Stage was severely injured by it, let alone Ye Fan whose Golden Core was dangerously fragile.

At this time, asking Ye Fan to touch Taí Níng was akin to sending him to his death.

In Huang Ze's view, the life of a junior was not important at all. As long as Ye Fan tried, if he died, then he died, sparing the effort to avenge Elder Yuan's grandson. Huang Ze said coldly, "He has been given a chance to prove himself, but today, after everyone gathers, some things must be handled officially."

Hua Wu also said without politeness, "I will accompany you to the end."

The people of Tianxuan Sect reached the edge of the area, and Ye Fan just stood there, weakly watching the events unfold before him.

"Yesterday, we did not find the chosen one, and now Taí Níng's owner is undecided. I fear that today we'll have to ask various sects to send out capable disciples. As long as someone has the courage, they can attempt, without restriction," Huang Ze immediately announced.

Yesterday, one had to compete first before attempting to unlock the restrictions, but today they could directly go up and try. This was probably because Huang Ze realized that competition would waste time and harm the harmony between sects.

As Taí Níng was placed in the center of the field and the restriction to try was lifted, none of the young disciples attempted because the backlash of Taí Níng was too tyrannical, and they might get injured.

However, there were still some cultivators who were unknown themselves and hadn't even reached the Golden Core Stage, wanting to try their luck at making a name for themselves.

It's like a lottery, knowing the chances are low, but wondering if they might hit the jackpot?

Suddenly at this moment, a loud noise came from the direction of the mountain bottom, as if something was broken, and then three cultivators flew straight in on swords. Not even the restrictions at the mountain gate of Emperor Extreme Sect worked on them.

"Someone has broken through!" Elder Yuan, who was responsible for the gate restrictions of Emperor Extreme Sect, shouted angrily, and the surrounding disciples of Emperor Extreme Sect immediately sealed the gate, but they couldn't stop the momentum of the intruders.

Leading them was a masked figure in black, who waved a hand and four or five powerful cultivators at the Nascent Soul Stage were sent flying. This cultivation astonished everyone present.

"With a superior ancient Immortal Artifact emerging and the prophetic jade slipping into the water, how could Earth Origin Sect not be involved?"

The voice of the intruder was sharp, indistinguishable between male and female. Ye Fan, upon hearing it, found it somewhat similar to Jing Ya, neither male nor female, but upon listening closely, it seemed to be a mix of male and female voices, emitted simultaneously.

Yet, as the three intruders were all masked in black, no one could discern their gender or appearance, not even basic male or female characteristics.

Ye Fan thought to himself, "They do bear some resemblance to Arabs."

When the intruders stopped at the entrance of the main hall, even Hua Wu and Huang Ze summoned their magic treasures. The intruder was none other than the Sect Master Líng of Earth Origin Sect.

With just a name, it was like Emperor Extreme Sect's Sect Master had to change his surname. All the names of Earth Origin Sect's Sect Masters were "Líng." Earth Origin Sect had extremely strict requirements for selecting a Sect Master, and as the first major sect, the disciples they selected were exceptional talents from the Pan Gu Mystical Realm. There was even a person specifically searching for Spirit Roots and perfect constitution disciples from the outside world, and among them, the most outstanding disciple would be chosen as the personal disciple by the next generation of Sect Masters.

Nearly all these disciples could cultivate to a level above the Mahayana Realm. Before the previous generation Sect Master ascended or passed away, they would choose the disciple with the highest cultivation among their personal disciples to become the next Sect Master, whose name would also be "Líng." It's said that in the past several dozen generations, the Sect Masters were all at the Transcendance Tribulation Stage when they succeeded.

And now, the current Sect Master Líng of Earth Origin Sect was even more exceptional, reaching mid-Transcendance Tribulation Stage before a hundred years old, very close to Ascension.

Ye Fan had never truly witnessed the destructive power of someone at the Transcendance Tribulation Stage but imagined it was enough to change the world, as the Pan Gu Mystical Realm was created by ancient powerful cultivators. If Immortals could create worlds, then a powerhouse at the Transcendance Tribulation Stage, second only to Immortals, could destroy worlds. This logic seemed feasible.

Huang Ze, holding a magic treasure resembling a copper bowl, shouted sternly, "Sect Master Líng also finds this mere ancient Immortal Artifact appealing?"

"Of course," Líng's voice remained sharp, "With the Pan Gu Mystical Realm in peril, Earth Origin Sect, as the leader among the seven major sects, has the responsibility of saving the world. Yet Huang Ze didn't even notify Earth Origin Sect, thinking that among you would truly be the master of this ancient Immortal Artifact?"

Huang Ze's face turned considerably dark. Given his cultivation and status, he stood high in the Pan Gu Mystical Realm, yet to be called "Huang Ze kid" by someone not yet a hundred years old was a great insult. However, he knew there was a gap between his cultivation and Líng's. He had to suppress his unwillingness.

"Who knows if the disaster would stem from Earth Origin Sect? In recent centuries, Earth Origin Sect has destroyed countless mountain gates. Your existence is the greatest disaster in the Pan Gu Mystical Realm," Hua Wu began to reprimand.

Líng did not speak, walking steadily toward the ancient Immortal Artifact Taí Níng in the center of the hall, looking around and said, "So this is Taí Níng? It's indeed exactly as described in ancient books..."

As he spoke, Líng actually stretched out his hand to take up Taí Níng, while simultaneously sending out Spiritual Energy, trying to unlock the restriction within.

But as soon as his hand touched Taí Níng, it retracted as if shocked by electricity.

Even someone at the Transcendance Tribulation Stage, close to a Demi Immortal, couldn't forcefully break the restriction on Taí Níng with their cultivation, enough to show Taí Níng's strength.

Seeing Líng's failure, Huang Ze wore a cold smile and said, "Now that Sect Master Líng has tried and is not the master of this Immortal Artifact, you should leave; otherwise, no matter how strong Earth Origin Sect is, you won't step out of this Emperor Extreme Sect."

"Is that so?" Líng lifted his proud head, "I would also like to see how strong Emperor Extreme Sect's mountain gate restriction is, and if it's as insurmountable as Heavenly Peak Mountain's Spiritual Energy barrier!"

His words seemed like he wanted to start a war with Emperor Extreme Sect publicly.

A powerhouse at the Transcendance Tribulation Stage, even if everyone in the hall joined forces, the outcome was uncertain, mainly depending on whether Emperor Extreme Sect's mountain gate restriction was effective. Not to mention the two followers behind Líng. Even Huang Ze, at mid-Mahayana Realm, couldn't detect their cultivation with Spiritual Energy, almost deducing that the cultivation of those two must be above mid-Mahayana Realm.

Ye Fan thought, "Earth Origin Sect truly is the largest sect in the Pan Gu Mystical Realm, just by bringing two followers along, they dare to challenge all sects' top experts head-on. If Earth Origin Sect intended to use force, would they wipe out Emperor Extreme Sect in one fell swoop?"

At this moment, Huang Ze spoke fully, seemingly unable to avoid triggering the mountain gate restriction, yet he feared the mountain gate restriction might cause most present to scatter to the winds, making him the villain.

Then, suddenly, someone walked out and said, "Sect Master Líng, it's been a long while."

An ordinary old Daoist, with cultivation only at the Golden Core Stage, but upon speaking, Líng glanced over, even though he couldn't see the face, he could sense some tension in his expression.
