This Martial Dao Tablet was a thousand feet tall. Having weathered wind and rain over many years, it was already covered in rust. Looking at it, it did not seem much different from a pillar reaching into the sky, let alone possess anything special.
Yet those who dared to be present at this moment were almost all experts at the half-step Celestial Realm. They were true top-tier experts not far from the Celestial Realm. Unless a Celestial Realm expert descended, no one could possibly vie with them. They could all sense the unusual aura rooted around the pillar; countless strands of spiritual energy and treasure Qi in the surroundings were being attracted by a special aura, continuously swirling around this pillar. Furthermore, as the time for the Martial Dao Tablet to open drew closer, the speed of the swirl grew faster, and the amount of spiritual energy and treasure Qi it absorbed increased more and more.
The reason it was said that they were almost all half-step Celestial Realm experts was because a martial artist at the Dharma Idol Realm had flouted the unwritten rules and actually charged straight to the innermost side of the Martial Dao Tablet.
Several hundred people had gathered near this Martial Dao Tablet, all of them experts who had rushed over after receiving the news in advance. Among them, over a hundred were experts at or above the half-step Celestial Realm, while the remainder were experts at the Dharma Idol Realm.
However, with so many half-step Celestial Realm experts lingering among them, these Dharma Idol Realm martial artists did not dare to approach at all. No matter how imposing they were in various parts of the Ancient Barrens Continent on ordinary days, in front of these half-step Celestial Realm experts, they still fell far short.
