Not long after entering the cave, they found their first treasure trove.
It was clear that the Ascenders were getting impatient, but Ye Feng spoke up as Lin Heng approached.
"Everyone, we Ascenders have always been united. In addition, we also need to be wary of the Eight Great Imperial Clans when entering the ancient ruins. Therefore, I suggest that we set some rules first."
Ye Feng's words were met with agreement from everyone.
Treasure hunting is one thing, but ensuring personal safety is also crucial.
With the existence of the Eight Great Imperial Clans, if internal strife and casualties occur due to the treasure, it will only benefit the Eight Great Imperial Clans in the end.
In the end, they might not only lose the treasure, but also their lives within the ancient ruins.
" Ye Feng, you speak!"
Immediately someone shouted.
Seeing that everyone was staring at him, Ye Feng then voiced his thoughts.
"Then it's settled. Each of our five factions will take one spot. Although Lin Heng used one of our Firmament Hall's spots to enter the ruins, he is not a member of our Firmament Hall. Furthermore, if Lin Heng hadn't seen through the illusion, we wouldn't have been able to find the treasure first. So, let's add another spot for him. What do you all think?"
The group looked at each other and fell silent for a moment.
It's fine for each of the five forces to take one spot, but it's somewhat unacceptable that Lin Heng, who is only at the Primordial Chaos Yellow Stage, is given a spot alone.
Lin Heng remained silent, simply waiting for the final result.
If you exclude yourself from the equation, then you can simply act alone.
Lin Heng's composure also revealed something to the other three Heavenly Firmament Realm experts besides Ye Feng.
The three exchanged a glance, quickly conveying their thoughts with their eyes.
If we give Lin Heng a spot, then we'll have to take one less spot.
Judging from Lin Heng's eyes, he probably intends to act alone if we refuse.
Even we can't see through this illusion, so we don't know how Lin Heng managed to see through it.
Fine, for safety's sake, I'll just give him a share.
We definitely can't do without him in the Hundred Illusions Mountain Range. As for leaving here, we can discuss that later.
In just a few breaths, the three Heavenly Firmament reached a conclusion.
Nie Kuangzhan Heavenly Firmament Realm from the Ten Thousand Beasts Pavilion, laughed and said, "If it weren't for Brother Lin Heng, we wouldn't be able to safely search for treasures within the Hundred Illusions Mountain Range. I think it's perfectly reasonable to give him a spot."
Nie Kuangzhan took the lead, and the others followed suit.
In this way, Lin Heng also obtained a separate spot outside of the Five Ascender Factions.
With that settled, Ye Feng continued, "Then we'll distribute them according to the number of treasures. If it's exactly six portions, each family will get one. If there are more or less, we'll follow the instructions given before entering the ruins and give them all to Brother Ling Wushuang. We'll distribute them again after we leave."
For those Ascenders to immortality to grow stronger right under the noses of the Eight Great Imperial Clans, unity is naturally the top priority.
Before each treasure hunt in the ruins, the bigwigs would discuss the details in advance. This time, they only made an extra request because Lin Heng was also involved.
Once the matter was settled, Ye Feng, under everyone's watchful eyes, flew directly into the small waterfall behind the artificial mountain. In the blink of an eye, he collected all the treasures and quickly retreated.
'call!'
Returning to his previous position from behind the waterfall, Ye Feng waved his hand, spreading all the treasures he had collected onto the ground.
Heavenly Cicada Ice Heart Spirit Herb aged for billions of years, spaceships forged from Primordial Chaos energy, elixirs aged for billions of years...
It was quite a coincidence that there were exactly six portions, but the four Heavenly Firmament present didn't seem to think much of what they had.
Even the other few Primordial Chaos Heaven Stage only glanced at it a couple more times.
At this level, even herbs aged for hundreds of millions of years are no longer sufficient to meet their needs.
Even if I got my hands on it, I'd just give it to future generations; I wouldn't need it myself.
Since that's the case, Nie Kuangzhan decided to do Lin Heng a favor and said with a smile, "Brother Lin Heng, if it weren't for you, we wouldn't have been able to enter this cave so safely to search for treasure. You can choose the first treasure!"
Lin Heng glanced at the treasures laid out in front of him and casually took the bottle of pills that had been stored for hundreds of millions of years.
They looked down on him, and Lin Heng felt the same way.
The elixir, aged for hundreds of millions of years, could be diluted and given to the disciples to consume, which would be barely acceptable.
These were just some unremarkable items, and the group quickly distributed them and continued their search inside the cave.
Unfortunately, the treasure was only found in this one spot in the vast cave, so the group chose to leave.
'Boom!'
Just as they reached the cave entrance, a series of loud noises came from outside.
He quickly walked out and looked out of the cave.
The members of the Eight Great Imperial Clans are currently engaged in a fierce battle.
" Ancient Three-Headed Mammoth from the Primordial Chaos Earth Stage."
"The Nine Netherworld Nine Netherworlds One-Eyed Beast of the Primordial Chaos Heaven Stage."
" Hunt Clan's Heavenly Firmament Realm?"
When they saw the monster with six wings on its back, a beast's head and a human body, who was fighting Yan Xishan at the end, the familiar aura made Ye Feng and the others immediately become vigilant.
"How is this possible? How could there be Hunt Clan in these ancient ruins?"
Ye Feng hesitated whether to step forward and help.
Dealing with the Hunt Clan was an inescapable duty.
But now they were inside ancient ruins, and there was only this one Hunt Clan, making it impossible for him to make a decision.
It's best to wait and see how things develop.
"If any other Hunt Clan appear, then we can step in to help."
Nie Kuangzhan followed up with his words.
Their tone seemed calm, but their words betrayed an undeniable shock.
Those present were all powerful individuals who had fought against the Hunt Clan many times.
They understood one thing: while the Hunt Clan was indeed ferocious, they also possessed absolute pride.
Over the years, the powerful figures of the Nine Heavens have repeatedly tried to capture the Hunt Clan alive for research purposes.
Their attempts to capture the Hunt Clan have never been successful.
It wasn't that they weren't caught, but rather that once captured, the Hunt Clan would never choose to live a life of dishonor; without exception, they all committed suicide.
Whether they are high-level or low-level cultivators.
Even someone as powerful as the Heavenly Firmament Realm expert wouldn't value their own life.
But now they were seeing living, captive-bred Hunt Clan cultivators here. How could Ye Feng and the others not be shocked?
Then recall the shock and panic that Yan Xishan others felt when they retreated back outside the mountain range.
It's likely that their first entry into the Hundred Illusions Mountain Range was when they discovered the existence of the Hunt Clan.
However, Lin Heng pointed at the monkey phantom and directly shattered the illusion.
This led Yan Xishan and the others to believe that the Hunt Clan they had seen before was also an illusion created by the realm of illusion, which is why they entered again.
But little did they know, apart from the first mountain peak being an illusion, the rest were all real.
As a result, the Eight Great Imperial Clans were once again drawn into the battle and found themselves in a fierce struggle.
Seeing Lin Heng and the others come out, Yan Xishan was furious!
" Lin Heng, are you deliberately plotting to harm us?"
"You actually colluded with the Hunt Clan! Once we leave the ancient ruins, we will definitely settle this score with you."
