The Heavenly Dawn Sect intended to dash everyone's hopes completely!
Su Jiu and the major sects were hardly surprised. After all, they had already learned the whole story at the auction house.
While everyone was still murmuring among themselves, the cliff suddenly shook.
Fortunately, none of the cultivators present were greenhorns newly admitted to the immortal sects, and the tremor did not send them tumbling over the edge.
Instead, they steadied themselves with magic treasures or arts.
Su Jiu had never entered the Hongsheng Heavenly Road and did not know this phenomenon was abnormal, but the reactions of those around her gave her some inkling.
"What's going on? What happened?"
"That tremor scared me half to death. I thought the mountain was about to split apart."
"Come to think of it, shouldn't the Hongsheng Heavenly Road have appeared by now?"
"No idea. Who knows what's happening..."
As everyone traded remarks, someone suddenly shouted, "Look over the cliff!"
A golden point of light abruptly appeared beneath the cliff, amid the drifting clouds and mist.
Slowly, the light spread outward, bleeding into its surroundings.
Only when a circular golden surface large enough to hold around ten people had formed amid the clouds did the golden radiance stop expanding.
But it did not end there. The circular golden surface rippled again, surging like waves amid the clouds, until it gradually formed a spiraling whirlpool before everyone's eyes.
Su Jiu's gaze sharpened slightly. She sensed the presence of spatial power!
And that spatial power came from the golden whirlpool.
Someone else spoke up then. "What is that thing? Where's our entrance to the Hongsheng Heavenly Road?"
Of course, that person was not the only one puzzled. Many cultivators also wore grave expressions.
They, too, had no idea what this whirlpool was.
