The Main Hall of Great Heroes at Golden Lotus Temple was packed with monks, every face filled with confusion. No one knew why they had been summoned in the dead of night.
Monk King Jingci's expression was dark, turmoil churning within him. The Buddha Formation's defensive perimeter had five layers, yet within half an hour, one node on each layer had lost contact.
By the time he received the news, the third-layer Buddha Formation node had already gone offline. For some reason, the Sandworms raised along the perimeter had failed to give any warning.
He had only just figured out what was happening when information arrived through a secret channel, claiming that cultivators had infiltrated the area.
He was skeptical, unable to fathom how those people had gotten in.
Although the Buddha Formation had not been fully activated, it should have been impossible for Nascent Soul cultivators to pass through without anyone noticing.
Junior Brother Jingyue was currently in seclusion, contemplating the mysteries of the Reincarnation Realm. If he succeeded, he would be qualified to break through into the Transcendence Realm and escape the sea of suffering forever. Monk King Jingci hesitated over whether to inform him.
A young monk stepped forward, pressed his palms together, and said, "Master, the chief and deputy chief monks of every monastic hall have arrived."
Monk King Jingci withdrew his thoughts and nodded slightly before saying in a deep voice, "Everyone, we have received urgent news."
He explained the matter, and the hall immediately erupted. Everyone was shocked beyond measure.
Because of the Spirit-Severing Land's nature, this was a place cultivators were destined never to set foot in. During the city's expansion, they had deliberately kept it more than a hundred li away from the edge. How could it possibly have been discovered?
