As the ones who had opened this supreme treasure opportunity, the four members of the Yang Clan naturally gained the advantage of entering first alongside the Immortal Estate cultivators.
Before the other cultivators arrived, they had already taken the lead in entering the Five Elements Great Formation.
As the first batch of cultivators to enter the Five Elements Great Formation, they received a precious Five Elements Spirit Seal the moment they stepped into the formation.
According to the intelligence gathered by the Immortal Estate cultivators, obtaining this spirit seal meant that they already held a genuine stroke of fortune in their hands.
Even if the cultivators within the Five Directions Secret Realm failed to break through the barriers between the five immortal mountains and could not unlock the final baptismal reward, these people would still receive an opportunity for enlightenment bestowed by the Five Elements Great Formation because of their spirit seals.
This was also a reward for all their previous efforts.
The situations within the Five Elements Great Formation varied, but everyone's objective at this stage was the same.
That was to find the independent nodes scattered throughout the formation and connect them.
Once that was done, they could resonate with the other four great formations and proceed to the next stage: the assault against the Five Elements Barrier.
This step was not particularly difficult. Most of the Secret Realm cultivators' time was spent searching for those hidden formation nodes.
The four members of the Yang Clan could relax a little during this stage, slack off now and then, exchange information with one another, and take away rare treasures and spiritual materials from their respective immortal mountains before anyone else found them.
As more and more cultivators entered the formation afterward, the efficiency of locating formation nodes greatly improved.
