Just as Luo Qing fled toward the core of the Wind Spirit Mountain Range.

Outside the Wind Spirit Mountain, in two other directions.

Slightly to the south, a stretch of fire clouds extending ten thousand miles resembled a Fire Phoenix and was also heading toward Wind Spirit Mountain.

To the northeast, a vast mass of Profound Yellow Qi was likewise surging toward the Wind Spirit Mountain Range.

The Three Clans of Creation seemed to have reached an agreement. Each had sent one Grand Unity Golden Immortal and fifteen Grand Unity Golden Immortals.

The three clans formed up and surrounded the area from the outskirts of the Wind Spirit Mountain Range all the way to Wind Spirit Gorge.

They let every Golden Immortal and Metal God they encountered along the way pass.

But any Grand Unity Golden Immortal was driven toward Wind Spirit Gorge.

"Damn it, what does the Phoenix Clan mean by this? They won't let us leave and are driving us into this place!"

"It isn't just the Phoenix Clan. The Kirin Clan and Dragon Race are both being overbearing. Many fellow Daoists have been driven here!"

"What are these three clans trying to do? Even if they want to seize the Wind Spirit treasures, they could simply drive us away. Why surround us and refuse to let us leave? What kind of logic is that?"

More than one hundred and fifty Grand Unity Golden Immortals had been surrounded by the three clans near Wind Spirit Gorge.

At a time like this, no one cared about the Immortal Dao or Divine Dao.

All the immortals wore worried expressions.

All three clans had Grand Luo Golden Immortals here. If they wanted to encircle and annihilate them, it would take no more than a flick of a finger.

Who wouldn't be worried that they might become a soul beneath the blades of the three clans?

Luo Qing had not expected to be this unlucky.

He had merely been curious about the Wind Spirit treasures, yet he had been surrounded here by experts from the Three Clans of Creation.

A hundred or so Grand Unity Golden Immortals could not arouse the three clans' interest at all.

Luo Qing turned his gaze toward Wind Spirit Gorge.

What treasures had the Wind Spirit Clan left behind that could draw all three clans here?

A Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure? Or perhaps an Innate Supreme Treasure?

Just as the immortals were filled with worry.

Daoist Xiang, who had previously been ridiculed by the immortals, suddenly seemed to have dozed off.

The aura around him fluctuated for an instant before immediately returning to normal.

But when Daoist Xiang opened his eyes again, their color had changed from white to dark gray.

His eyes were as calm as stagnant water, without the slightest emotional fluctuation.

Daoist Xiang proceeded as usual to the edge of Wind Spirit Gorge, his pair of wisdom-filled eyes fixed on the depths of the gorge.

"Wind Spirit Tiger Ancestor self-detonated and died back then, destroying even his Companion Spirit Treasure. Could he really have left any treasures behind?"

Daoist Xiang pondered inwardly.

Outside the core region of Wind Spirit Mountain.

The Dragon, Phoenix, and Kirin Three Clans each guarded one direction. The three Grand Luo revealed their magnificent auras, intimidating the immortals.

Faintly, the three Grand Luo also confronted and restrained one another.

The Dragon Race's Grand Luo glanced toward Wind Spirit Gorge before speaking.

"Fellow Daoists, the time has come. We should make our move!"

The Kirin Clan's Grand Luo spoke in a voice like muffled thunder.

"Then let's move. First seal the space around Wind Spirit Gorge, then drive these Grand Unity Golden Immortals in to scout the way for our three clans."

The Phoenix Clan's Grand Luo was unwilling to fall behind.

"Good! If we find that thing, the three of us can rely on our own abilities!"

The three clans had not yet completely fallen out with one another. They cooperated in some matters and opposed one another in others.

This exploration of Wind Spirit Gorge was the result of the three clans working together while maintaining their standoff.

None of them wanted to start a war rashly. Under the balance of power, each sent one Grand Luo and fifteen Grand Unity Golden Immortals.

The three clans had agreed that whichever clan found the object they sought could comprehend it first for one Origin Meeting.

Afterward, it would be handed over to the other two clans in rotation.

"Then let's move!"

A cold glint flashed through the Dragon Race's Grand Luo's golden dragon pupils.

The three Grand Luo reached an agreement, and boundless Grand Luo Dharma Power immediately surged from their bodies.

Each Grand Luo took out three Treasure Banners. Nine Treasure Banners in total surrounded an area spanning a million miles around Wind Spirit Gorge.

All nine Treasure Banners were Top-grade Acquired Spiritual Treasures: three Flame Phoenix Banners, three Water Origin Dragon Banners, and three Earth Element Kirin Banners.

The nine Top-grade Acquired Spiritual Treasure banners jointly formed the Three Essences Three Elements Void Severing Great Array.

Under the shroud of the Void Severing Great Array, no spatial-transference technique could cross the boundary of the array.

Even the Space Turbulence was cut off.

If someone encountered Void-Disrupting Wind in Wind Spirit Gorge now, they could be transported only as far as the edge of the array.

The great array circulated and was completely established.

The Dragon Race's Grand Luo also let out a sigh of relief and smiled.

"Now that this great array has been established, that object already belongs in the grasp of our three clans! Fellow Daoists, let's act together!"

"Agreed!"

"Good!"

As soon as the three finished speaking, they simultaneously stirred up their inexhaustible Grand Luo Dharma Power.

The essences of the water, fire, and earth elements began to run wild.

A sea of blazing fire swept across ten thousand miles and began surging toward Wind Spirit Gorge.

Likewise, a monstrous wave burst forth from the Dragon Race's Grand Luo's hands.

In the hands of the Kirin Grand Luo, a phantom Giant Mountain pressed down toward Wind Spirit Gorge.

The three Grand Luo simultaneously began attacking the immortals near Wind Spirit Gorge with earth-shaking might.

Naturally, this disturbance could not be concealed from the hundreds of Grand Unity Golden Immortals.

Or rather, the three clans' Grand Luo had done this deliberately.

Three Grand Luo divine abilities swept over with astonishing momentum, and all the trapped Grand Unity Golden Immortals changed color.

"Not good! The three clans are using us to test their blades. We're surrounded by three Grand Luo, with nowhere to escape!"

"The great array outside has sealed everything off. Spatial transference can't be used either!"

"Are the three clans planning to slaughter us? Aren't they afraid of provoking the wrath of all the gods and being attacked by everyone?"

Seeing the immortals panic, even Luo Qing's expression grew solemn.

The three Grand Luo divine abilities were visibly about to bear down on them, slowly but surely.

The three clans' Grand Luo were clearly forcing them to charge into Wind Spirit Gorge.

Stay behind and resist the Grand Luo divine abilities?

Luo Qing shook his head. That would be suicide.

As things stood, the only path to survival was inside Wind Spirit Gorge.

The battle between the ferocious beasts and the Wind Spirit Clan back then had failed to completely destroy Wind Spirit Gorge. The three Grand Luo Golden Immortals should not be able to do anything to it either.

Luo Qing did not hesitate. Once he made up his mind, he immediately plunged into Wind Spirit Gorge.

There were plenty of clever people. The three clans' Grand Luo had unleashed such overwhelmingly powerful yet sluggish divine abilities.

Clearly, they did not intend to kill them.

As the three Grand Luo divine abilities drew closer and closer, streaks of Spiritual Light rose from various places and fell into Wind Spirit Gorge.

Even the surrounded Metal Gods and Mystic Immortals had no choice but to enter the gorge.

There was no path to survival if they remained above the gorge.

With a deafening boom.

After accumulating boundless power, the three Grand Luo divine abilities swept across a million miles of land and slammed into Wind Spirit Gorge.

Once the three Grand Luo divine abilities dissipated, the seemingly fragile Wind Spirit Gorge had suffered only the destruction of some outer edges. The rest was completely unharmed.

Of course, the more than one hundred Grand Unity Golden Immortals and nearly one thousand Golden Immortals gathered nearby had all been forced to flee into the gorge.

The Dragon Race's Grand Luo glanced at the fifteen Taiyi True Dragons behind him.

"You should set out as well. I don't need to tell you how to proceed, do I?"

"We understand!"

It was not only the Dragon Race. All the Grand Unity Golden Immortals sent by the Phoenix Clan and the Kirin Clan likewise transformed into streaks of light and entered Wind Spirit Gorge.

This was Luo Qing's second time venturing deep into Wind Spirit Gorge, and his pair of Eyes of the Great Dao did not dare stop for even an instant.

This time was different from before. More than a hundred Grand Unity Golden Immortals had entered all at once.

In such an environment, being ambushed would make it extremely easy to die and have one's cultivation destroyed.

"This time, I really have to be careful of the Void-Disrupting Wind!"

Luo Qing proceeded cautiously through the gorge.

The outskirts had been surrounded by the great array of the three clans. Who knew what fate awaited anyone transported outside?

Luo Qing had no desire to fall into the hands of the three clans' Grand Luo and become meat on their chopping block.
