Several hundred Quasi-Immortal Emperor Grade cultivators were discussing how to open the great tomb, arguing fiercely over the method.
Especially the dozen or so Quasi-Immortal Emperor Grade cultivators who specialized in formations. If the other Quasi-Immortal Emperor Grade cultivators had not stopped them, those formation specialists would likely have already started fighting.
The Wicked Taoist had been circling the great tomb the entire time, yet he had not drawn the attention of any Quasi-Immortal Emperor Grade cultivator present. With the great tomb right before them, they did not believe any cultivator could open it without them noticing.
They had greatly underestimated the Wicked Taoist. In fact, if Wang Xian had not known him so well, he would not have believed that the Wicked Taoist had found a way to open the great tomb after circling it only a few dozen times.
However, the Wicked Taoist did not directly open the great tomb. Instead, he used the power of a formation to pierce through its outer wall and enter it.
The instant the Wicked Taoist made his move, Wang Xian immediately acted.
Still, Wang Xian had underestimated the Wicked Taoist. By the time he flashed over to the great tomb, the Wicked Taoist had already entered it through the passage pierced by the formation.
Wang Xian naturally wanted to enter the great tomb through that passage as well. However, it was filled with a mysterious energy, making it seem as though the passage did not exist at all. Wang Xian tested it by transforming into several different forms of energy, yet none could pass through that narrow passage.
The Wicked Taoist's sudden disappearance, Wang Xian's sudden appearance, and the passage through the great tomb—all of it happened so quickly that the several hundred Quasi-Immortal Emperor Grade cultivators present were completely dumbfounded.
