Seizing the Initiative

"All of them? We're still missing four pieces, aren't we?"

"Who is it? Judging from the tone, it seems like there are several pieces."

Upon hearing this, everyone had their own thoughts and looked in the direction from which the sound came.

The next moment, a figure was seen flying quickly from a distance.

His figure was aged, and he concealed his aura, but from the feeling, he was not weak at all.

"Lu Tianmu is indeed still alive, but judging from his condition, he doesn't have many years left before his time comes."

Xiang Qingcang's eyes flickered slightly.

He knew this senior colleague very well.

When I entered the Saint Emperor, the other party had already been famous for a long time.

He wasn't surprised that he had come now.

The longer one's lifespan, the more precious the Longevity Battlefield becomes; such a thing is impossible for the other party to refuse.

"However, what he just said..."

Xiang Qingcang also felt somewhat uncertain.

Surely the other party can't possibly have four pieces in their hand?

In fact, it's not just him; the other three powerful figures also have similar thoughts.

But most people subconsciously denied such speculation.

After all, the Five Continents Domain are so vast, and the Unsealing Key itself isn't some kind of artifact that exudes a powerful aura; finding it is like searching for a needle in a haystack.

How could anyone possibly obtain so much?

At this moment.

Lu Tianmu's figure had already arrived where everyone was.

"Senior Lu."

Powerful figures from all sides spoke up one after another.

The attitude of all parties towards such a powerful figure, whose strength ranks high among the Ten Great Saint Emperor, is still very respectful.

Lu Tianmu nodded, looked at the group, and said:

"Let's begin."

With that, he walked towards the spot where the Unsealing Key was placed.

Everyone present felt a slight stirring in their hearts.

At this moment, Xiang Qingcang spoke up, saying:

"Senior Lu, we still need four more Unsealing Key."

Under the watchful eyes of many.

Lu Tianmu nodded:

"Know."

The next moment.

Lu Tianmu reached into his pocket.

Four Unsealing Key appeared before everyone's eyes.

"Holy shit!"

Instantly, some people gasped, while others gasped in shock.

Even powerful figures like Xiang Qingcang and the Pavilion Master of the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion were unmoved by it.

"There are really four pieces? No way, how can there be so many?"

"This is outrageous! I just said that the Unsealing Key is now controlled by powerful forces, and it's considered lucky for Rogue Cultivator to even get one. But in the blink of an eye, Rogue Cultivator have half of them, and they're all in the hands of one person?"

"Hiss--, Senior Lu truly lives up to his reputation as one of the best among the Saint Emperor, his power is truly terrifying!"

"..."

For a moment, everyone was utterly shocked.

Xiang Qingcang swallowed hard and said:

"Senior Lu, how did you obtain the four Unsealing Key...?"

Seemingly realizing that asking such a question was inappropriate, Xiang Qingcang did not continue.

Lu Tianmu's reply was somewhat casual:

"Found it."

"..."

For a moment, everyone fell silent.

Of course, they weren't stupid. They knew that collecting these four Unsealing Key had taken countless hours and effort, and it certainly wasn't as easy as they made it sound.

At this moment.

Lu Tianmu had already placed the four Unsealing Key inside.

Buzzing.

Suddenly, the once calm groove began to tremble.

From the empty recess, light shone, extending outwards and pointing towards the Unsealing Key in front of it.

"Don't waste any more time," Lu Tianmu said.

Xiang Qingcang nodded and stepped forward first.

With Lu Tianmu setting an example, everyone knows what to do.

No complicated process is needed; just put it into the groove.

Swish, swish, swish, swish.

In an instant, all eight Unsealing Key were placed inside the grooves.

Thump!

A resounding boom echoed through the void.

Eight grooves, arranged in a ring, suddenly emitted a bright light from one of them.

The next moment.

The light condensed into two large characters.

"Congratulations."

In the instant the two words condensed.

Then the eight grooves suddenly disappeared.

Everyone present waited patiently as they witnessed this scene.

The next moment.

Suddenly, a powerful spatial energy fluctuation emerged in the void ahead.

Its power was so great that it made the expressions of powerful figures present, such as Xiang Qingcang and Jin Xiao, turn solemn.

"Such a level of power fluctuation truly lives up to its name as the Longevity Battlefield!"

Someone sighed softly.

At this moment, spatial power condensed into a giant gate.

"It's activated!"

Everyone was startled.

"Let's go, seize the initiative!"

Yu Chang spoke up, and the next moment, she grabbed Yu Yue.

Before most people could react, the two figures swept into the gate with astonishing speed.

"Rushing in?" someone exclaimed in disbelief.

However, once everyone realized who it was, they weren't too surprised.

After all, the other party spent so many Saint Emperor Artifacts to obtain this qualification.

However, a small group of people vaguely sensed that something was amiss.

"Those two spots were clearly exchanged with the Xiang Clan, so why are they already in while the Xiang Clan hasn't even entered yet?"

While many are still envious, some powerful individuals who have realized this are starting to have their own ideas.

Perhaps the limit on the number of people allowed to enter through this Unsealing Key is not one hundred people per key, but eight hundred people per key.

Eight hundred people entered, and only those who came after could proceed.

As things stand, Lu Tianmu alone has four pieces, and the original plan was far from reaching eight hundred people.

"Walk."

Yu Chang enter first, Xiang Qingcang also spoke up.

At the same time, the representatives of the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion, Myriad Laws Academy, and the Beastfolk Race also took action.

For a moment, figures flashed in mid-air.

"Take a gamble!"

Some powerful individuals who had not yet been granted the opportunity to enter with their followers had a glint in their eyes. They immediately took out talismans, activated their movement techniques and artifacts, and pushed their speed to the limit.

For a moment, the scene became somewhat chaotic.

Like a thousand sails racing, the scene was extremely lively.

"They're all going crazy. Everything's already decided, why are they in such a rush?"

Someone gently shook their head.

But as soon as he finished speaking, someone nearby said, with a hint of uncertainty in their voice:

"It seems like there were more than 800 people who went in."

Not only this person, but many others also realized the problem at this point.

The figures moved about rapidly, but upon closer inspection, it seemed that the number had already exceeded the limit.

"No, I want to try it too."

Someone whispered something and set off.

And just then...

In mid-air, the gate vanished in a flash.

Someone who was about to enter almost touched it, but suddenly missed, and then a frustrated voice came from its mouth:

"Damn it, I was qualified to enter! How come I was shut down before I even got in?!"

Seeing that the gate had disappeared, and hearing this man's words...

In an instant, many figures around secretly lamented:

"That opportunity was a tremendous stroke of luck if we had just managed to grab a spot and get in. If I had known it would turn out like this, I would have taken the plunge. Now all I can do is watch them go home with their spoils. Sigh."
